tie's presentation and i think a lot of it has been through more people using our parks, but we continue to focus on keeping our earned revenues strong. so that curve, that number that you see that upward trend includes historically included candlestick. so you didn't see a big dip and candlesticks had been closed for about a year now and we're still on an upward trajectory with respected to earned revenue. >> commissioner bonilla. >> what a fantastic job and i'm very excited about the new budget. it has so many innovative approaches to addressing major problems or issues that we have had to face over the last 15 years. so i wanted to specifically state that i'm

pleased that we're adding six -- we're proposing to add six more park patrols park patrol staff. although i wish you would have gone much further along the process, because there is and a tremendous need there. and i'm especially pleased with the translation of the guides to conform with the language access of the city and translating preliminarily into spanish and chinese will go a long way into ensuring more access to those populations in the city. so that one, i'm really, really most excited about. thank you so much for all of

the staff for coming out with such great proposals here. >> thank you. mr. ginsburg. >> i did omit one, i think is worth noting. in the back we have one of our newest members of our property management team, andrew smothers and andrew under dana's leadership was really instrumental in the closure of candlestick and making sure we were able to reuse as many of the assets at candlestick as possible and worked on the memorabilia and seat sales and all those that helped to offset and make that cliff in the loss of candlestick revenue more palatable and andrew also implemented the program that allowed us to do our own cards and saved money there. it takes a village and andrew very much contributed to our successful budget this year. >> thank you, andrew. thank you, katie.

you do need public comment, don't you, margaret? >> is there any public comment on this item? >> i see some folks in the back. no public comment. >> thank you very much. >> okay. public comment is closed. >> are you looking for a motion to approve this budget? >> i am. >> motion to approve. >> second. >> all those in favor? >> aye. >> thank you very much, katie. >> item 11, the joseph l. alioto performing arts piazza and installation. >> now you get to hear from young andrew right now. >> if we could get the

powerpoint, please. >> andrew smothers with the property management division and i'm here to present on the discussion and possible action to approve a request for a temporary art installation in civic center plaza from april 10th through may 3rd. the art gallery of at taiwan is requesting permission to install a exhibition in section with the lpga swinging centers golf tournament. it's a depiction of artwork similar in scope to the proposal this year that was staged in and around the golf course for last year's tournament. the current proposal for this year contemplates 19 vibrantly

painted sculptures. the sculptures are not be permitted to be placed on the turf in any way, nor would they impede the egress of the plaza. the department is requiring that the art installation be structurally anchored to wood pedestals. they are stainless steel pilings and protrude outward. in addition, a structural engineering report certifying that the existing concrete slab is adequate to support the weight of the installation is a condition precedence to any permit issued by the department and will be required to obtain liability insurance, thereby covering the city in event of any loss. yesterday february 18th, 2015 the san francisco individual arts committee approved the installation and the item is currently scheduleded for their march 2nd agenda for approval

by full commission by resolution. this is a picture of a horse, of one of the sculptures that is pretty large. they vary in size and weight. the smallest one is about 155 pounds and largest about 2,000 pounds. a very renownedartist in at taiwan and i believe he was the first taiwanese artist to have that display doing a little research. that concludes my presentation. >> thank you, andrew. >> any public comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> art critic, commissioner low. [laughter ] >> got to sound smart now allan. >> i'm trying to think of something, but i'm hungry. [laughter ]when does this go before the arts commission?

drafting process that took place to create uniform rules for the homeless shelters here in san francisco during the process that came up there was be disagreements about a need for uniform rules for the shuttles and the specific rules in the drafting process, however a common ground that came out came in of this process amongst the highlights this is a need in the startle system was designed for homeless as an economic issue a place of safe harpoon for individuals that are generally healthy and are down on their luck however we've seen both from observations from through the data that department of public health has been collecting that is not necessarily the demographics

we're seeing in the shuttles today in the department of public health studies and also through our homeless count we've found that 61 percent of our chronological homeless individuals have a form of disabled condition and 1/5th are seniors they're not built to serve the demographic and ocher our shelter people needs the services the gap between the services we're providing and the clinic tell in particular, the rule that was most talked about was the rule number 18 that allows shelter to refuse beds an example go some place who couldn't get out of bed on their own or required assistance there's a lot of rationale behind the rule given the fact

the shuttles don't have the training to treat the individual that is disabled further we know there are discrepancies that release the patient sooner then they need to, however, if they had a home but not a stable place to get well and better even something simple like a broken leg if i were fraelsz the hospital i could go home and network of supporters could bring food that's not available for our folks who are unhoused this is an issue that has lead to who is responsibility for the care of the individuals that is lead to our shuttles calling 911 that is an expensive way to

address the issue no one wants to see the individuals that are on the streets because our shelters can't help one is continuing trying to push your square pegs in a round hole to 9 staff are not resources to serve the men and women in the city or we can choose to be smarter how to use our city resources to have the transformation of the system i think there 9 years over in the board of supervisors homelessness is not an issue of poverty but a public health issue we'll never be able to help the most chronic and sick people in our san francisco if we don't address homelessness nominee we talk about resourcing

the shelters it is housing is far more cost effective than shelter that that has led us to a stagnation to the shelters are not the most cost effective way even though housing is important cost effective it takes time and to inquire that is a challenge it is costly to hire and rent for the most vulnerable residents our shelter system addresses the homelessness and providing a transition as people wait to get into housing we hope this is a discussion how the city moves forward together a candidate a system and if i want

to look at this way a product that works for our market we're trying to serve the reason he called for this hearing on the auditorium shelter rules by the human agencies to have a discussion about the need through the number of productive meetings with our department of public health and on the conversation is shifting towards addressing the solutions to address the problem i want to thank the human agencies particularly george and kathy and others who took the time to meet with our office i want to recognize ken and kathy from the community services and jenny for the coalition for the homelessness sitting down with us many, many times as and prepared to delve devolve into

the rules but to address what the proposed rules have highlighted i want to give time for the departments to present before i really go into some of the ideas and the topics we've discussed and then of course i know we have many members of the public here to address the committee it is a preying issue in san francisco i forgot to mention happy new year it is the year of the ram i think this is appropriate as we start a 92 new year and the chapter what he think about a new chapter in our homelessness shelter medians i have 3 of our departments here today, we have department of public health, we is where skwlois will be representing the agency and juliano the deputy

director for the mayor's office on disability and i have dpw starting out the presentation, however, i'm flexible on the order. >> supervisor kim can i ask that supervisor campos or supervisor christensen want to make opening remarks. >> i want to say i'm appreciative this meeting is being called i know in some of the conversation with the community-based groups we're doing the best to keep this within two hours i know there's a lot of speakers i want to say i appreciate supervisor kim's approach not to fingerpointing but looking at the solutions i know from the community there's an effort to really express the voice in the diverse communities that are recommended and highlighting the stores and challenges that homelessness people face everyday and how this may be made more challenge by constricting stricter rules

not only rule 18 appreciate the practices that will be brought up in the hearing as well and in many ways as supervisor kim said no point looking at trying to push square pegs through holes but looking at supportive practices that can help lift people out of poverty and address the causes of homelessness in our city it to you supervisor kim and i'm looking forward to this hearing as well. >> so thank you, colleagues. i forget to give the members of the committee a chance to make opening remarks we've started with ms. crumbing u crumb from the human services agency. >> thank you for being here. >> any member of the public

wish to speak on any item. >> at the thank you for having this hearing i am joyce crumb the director of the houses and homelessness division for the human agency i appreciate this hearing and appreciate the preempt we had with the supervisor kim and then our group meeting that we had with coalition on homelessness and e.c. s proifrdz just let me give you a little bit of background those are not in any rules in order to have a shelter facility we have to have rules and those rules actually went into effect in 1999 when we established the shelter grinds advisory committee and when rules are broken and shelters or an infraction happens in a
