i mentioned last month that $4 million has been allocated nationwide. we're still unclear how that will play out, no details have come forward. we were told that not too long before our meeting on the 21st that the courts had overturned the overtime for the ihhs workers. an appeal is expected and the committee will track the progress of that appeal. the ruling was the week prior so at our meeting we didn't have many details. i would expect we'd have more when we meet in two weeks so again we'll report on that next month. the shattered system reforming long-term health care in california report was released in early january. the committee discussed working through to distill the key issues from that report and look at, match that to federal

-- to funding that will come forward for the recommendations that that committee has looked at. advocacy work is also underway to adjust the ssi levels to maintain qualifying seniors, qualifying participants, above the poverty level. this is an area that's been cut back in california over the last couple of years so this will be a budget ask moving forward. we also discussed assembly man david chu's legislation regarding sro upgrades and that funding, according to his web site, is for $40 million in tax credits. this is statewide money, it's to fill a gap that doesn't exist in rehab so again we'll be tracking that legislation and seeing where it moves forward. the california senior legislature reported, anne was

in sacramento because the same day was the death with dignity act bill was, there was a press conference to announce that. that has both participants -- that has senators supporting it, william moming and lois walk who also was a participant in long-term care report and that was senate bill 13. there were 3 other proposals that had been picked up. one was on the silver alert proposal to delete the expiration date of the current law and that's being supported by assembly woman cheryl brown. there is also assembly man scott wilke is supporting a bill that would add a 2 year felony penalty for people who identity fraud with seniors. so again we'll be watching that. and warren reported to

us that meetings were held with legislators on january 13th and 14th. the meet and greet was very successful and they had put together a proposal book on the california senior legislature items they were interested in and the legislators were happy with that and we have asked for an electronic copy. and that is where we stood at the end of january. >> i have a question on the day to choose legislation for $40 million. was that more associated with the elevator? not really. >> not really. according to --. >> in fact, i don't know too much yet, but i think it's more broad. it's general rehab. >> general rehab. does that include that -- that's a very small amount. >> especially state-wide, even though there's a concentration

of sro's here. >> we haven't found a bill number yet. we're trying to track that down and we'll continue to track that down. >> thank you. >> any questions. if not, thank you. long-term care coordinating council report. >> good morning, commissioner, marie dabling with the community living campaign and i'm here to give the report this morning. i wanted to share a few of the highlights from our meeting on january 12 and point out that the council continues to look for ways to strengthen its agenda planning for the coming year including having a more active advocacy and policy role that focuses on outcomes. i think that's something we all want to do but the council is focused on that as well. members before made a number of excellent suggestions on just how to do that. we also noted this year the long-term care council has its

10 year anniversary so we're looking for a way to celebrate this milestone with the mayor. we see it as sort of a party with a purpose to celebrate our accomplishments and the folks who made it possible, so we will let you know as soon as the date is set and we hope you will come. the highlight of the last meeting was a presentation and discussion about the diversion and community integration program, or dcip this program was created 10 years ago as part of the laguna honda could (inaudible) return to community life. the ability to share data electronically made this process smooth for all the service providers who need to be loop. in also tracks residents for up to two years after the discharge to assure

the supports are there to keep them from being reinstitutionalized or recommitted. however, an issue has come up regarding a breach with southern california medicare -- not us -- and it's been put on hold. the commission's is taking up this issue in the hope we can resolve it as quickly as possible working with the city attorney and the department heads. just as a reminder the council has a number of very active work groups and we heard this past month from several of them. the aging and disability friendly work group for san francisco, the affordable and accessible housing group, another that focuses on dementia care another that focuses on hiv and aging and finally one that focuses on palliative care. so these work groups really continue to make sure things move forward at the nitty-gritty level while the council kind of holds it all

together. i would say my role with the council is to chair the nominating committee and i want to point out it's a fairly large body, over 40 members, and right now we have 4 vacancies. we would welcome your hope in sharing information with folks who might be interested. the council is organized into different types of stake holders and right now the open slots are consumer and advocate and adult with disabilities, that's an older adult with disability who seems themselves as a consumer and advocate, a representative from organized labor and the last one is at large, so that could be really anybody who has an interest and passion for this work. finally -- so i have nomination forms up here for you for folks who are here in the audience and anybody watching on television that those forms are available from the department of aging adult

services. lastly, the council is sending delegations to meet with the board of supervisors to stress the importance of long care term services and support and to ask their help expanding funding for the community living fund and other programs that really help people stay in their own homes and communities. the next meeting is february 12th from 1:00 to 3:00, you are most welcome to attend and since ann mentioned the creation of the tech council, which i can come back later and talk about, i want to point out 10 years of experience working with how you have diverse groups that can focus on policy and still get down and get the work done adross different sectors is really -- we have 10 years of experience with that and the tech council really has members that recognize that experience and are going to model in some ways what they do after this good work from the council. so that's my report. do you have any questions? >> thank you. >> next is the tacc report.

kathy russo >> good day, supervisors, tacc meets at the end of this month in sacramento, february 24th and 25th. >> thank you. case report. >> commissioners, director hinton. we did meet in january, our membership and our board. just want to acknowledge the positive feedback we've gotten from the commissioners and the department of our case platform that was presented at the last meeting. thank you for that. we had our election of officers in our january membership meeting and keeping the momentum going with our platform we are hosting a case campaign planning meeting happening on friday, february

27th, at dorothy day senior community, that's 54 mcallister, at 1.30. what we're doing is we are inviting all of our case members to discuss plans to encourage san francisco to better support seniors and people with disabilities. and we really are going to hone in on our platform inviting at least one staff person and a few of their senior leaders, ambassadors, constituents from each organization. we'll be discussing our advocacy plan, our themes moving forward this year and strategies for how staff and their senior consumer constituents can support this campaign. and that is all. our next meeting is monday, february 9th, 7.30, polk, 3:00 to 5:00 project open hand grocery

for a revised total grant amount not to exceed $506,002. could i have a motion to discuss? >> make a motion with an amendment. i believe the dollar amount should be $89,362. i think there's a typo in the agenda. is that correct, monte >> my understanding was it was 86. elana it was 89, you are correct. >> so it should be 86? >> no, it should be 89,362. >> 89,352? >> 62. >> with that motion -- with that change, could i have a motion to discuss?

>> president james, commissioners, my name is monte cimino, we seek authorization to modify the grant with the mental health association for hoarders and clutterers. the ichc is a nationally recognized leader in policy development, innovative training, peer response services and supports. for this upcoming authorization we are looking to develop an online resource web site, start support groups for family members of people dealing with hoarding and cluttering, targeting limited add nonenglish speaking consumers. with the development of the online web site what we are looking to do is develop a web site that's more dynamic than the current web site we currently have.

consumers and people interested in the services will be able to enter the services they are looking for and their location in the sit and this web site will help them locate those services. in addition they are looking to have the web site up and running by april or may of this year and have consumer input and input from cbo's along the way developing the web site to make sure it is relevant and user friendly. additionally with the family support groups mha will be developing a very specific stipend volunteer position for the program and disseminate the information through various support groups as well as their there will also be supervision provided to the family member and the consumer who are doing these groups to make sure they have proper support and supervision throughout the process. finally, regarding community collaborations, mha is support of seen as the leader in the

field around hoarding and cluttering issues. they already have a lot of formal and informal relationships with cbo's but what they are looking to do now is to take it a step further to start to get their services out to people who are limited english or non-english speaking consumers. we were here a few months ago with this particular program so i'm excited about this particular expansion because it really is taking this program to the next level. so they have really refined their services. they really have a clear focus on what they are doing. this next step is to help promote the services to other communities and individuals who don't have access to them. so i'm happy to answer any questions that you have around the program expansion. >> i'm glad that you mentioned expanding it because i just had a request for somebody who speaks spanish that needed

help, family that needed help with hoarding and clutter. so i'm glad to see that that's the first question i was going to ask. so thank you.

>> welcome. >> b, requesting authorization to modify the grant agreement with bayview hunters point multi purpose senior services for provision of nutrition services for seniors at congregate meal sites in the additional amount of 109,176 for a revised total grant amount not to exceed

$1,042,186. could i have a motion to discuss? linda lau >> good morning, commissioners. >> do i have a motion? >> second. >> moved and second. you are on. >> good morning, commissioners

and director hinton. they are, as you can see, the total amount modified is, the current is 25 million, a little over that, then the modification is 5,096,, 484 and the total new contract is 30 million and change as you can see from the memo. and the funding sources,

majority is local county funds, 95.3 percent, then a small percentage, 1.8 percent is from state funding and almost 3 percent is federal funds. that gives us the total of 5,096,000. in terms of the funding and where it came from and how it came about, last year the board of supervisors had a food security hearing in april. and there were a lot of needs identified including food security needs. and with that, you know, what they found is that there were a lot of low income seniors and adults with disability that needed food supplements, food assistance, because they don't have the means to be able to provide

themselves with nutritous meals with their income level and we know healthy nutrition is a part of being able to stay healthy. as a response to that hearing, the mayor as well as the board of supervisors provided daas with a large amount of add back money and the amount we are adding to the meal services and home groceries is 4.8 million. and this is to help expand the home delivery meal program because we currently have a little over 200 people on the waiting list. with this funding a large percentage of this funding is to help expand the home delivery so we can reduce the waiting time and our goal is to serve people with emergency needs within two to

five days -- i'm sorry -- yes, two to 5 days, then those with other more moderate needs within 30 days. and if you can look at the, want to give you some highlights of where some of the increases are with this funding. so with this funding, with the congregate meal program for seniors, congregate program is for seniors who are mobile and able to go to senior center, they have access to other activities that can help them stay better connected, reduce social isolation. with this funding we are able to add three new sites. director hinton had mentioned there was a grand opening for the west portal center this week. that's one of the new sites. another new site is actually going to be in presidio serving mostly veterans, the majority would be veterans even though it is open to the public. and

then another site in the bayview neighborhood. also we will be expanding the champs program, increasing the number of clients that can be served at the current site and we are looking at adding a second meal champs site and self-help for the elderly is working on identifying a second caterer or restaurant that can help partner with that. in total, compared with our base line, we are going to be increasing the congregate meals to seniors by 37 percent. that's about a little over 66,000 meals annually serving 1670 seniors annually. the other portion is that we are increasing the congregate meals to serve adults with disability. again we are adding 3 sites that can serve them. these are the same sites that serve the seniors. and with this program we are

increasing service by 74 percent. this is about 14,000 meals annually serving another 265 adults with disability. the third program we are increasing is the home delivery of service to seniors and we're increasing this by 24 percent. in terms of meals this represents close to 280,000 meals a year, serving another 400 unduplicated consumers. and the other program is also expanding our home delivery meals to adults with disability, increasing that by 71 percent, which represents a little over 69,000 meals a day, serving an additional 140 unduplicated seniors. last but not least we are significantly expanding our home delivery groceries program. home delivery

groceries is basically providing supplemental food to an adult with disability or senior that's low income with a grocery bag that's usually worth, if it's serving one to two people, the bag is about $30 value, market value, and includes of course fresh fruits and vegetables, staple items like bread, grain, pasta, rice, also protein items. this program we are actually, when i say significantly increasing it, we are adding a little over half a million dollars to expand this program from our current base line level. that's about 240 percent increase. we will serve another 900 unduplicated seniors annually serving about each year 30,000 grocery bags weekly. so this program is not only

cost effective but it actually can serve, you know, can keep a lot of seniors and adults with disability and providing them with access to healthier food. now, the memo includes a table with the different awards that we are recommending for the two fiscal years, 14-15 and 15-16. and also then what the total contract amount for that particular contractor. so what i will do is go through the congregate meal contractors first and then the home delivery meal contractors and so on. because it is a lot of contracts that we're going to go through i'm going to highlight some of the things where it's you know, changed and what's different and then

entertain any other questions that you might have if that's okay. okay, so i will go through the first one, we're recommending for bayview hunters point multi purpose senior services for the nutrition of service for seniors at congregate meal sites for the period of july 1, 2014 through june 30, 2016 in the additional amount of $109,176 for a revised grant total amount not to exceed $1,042,186. the major increase with this funding is they are adding a new site. hunters view is in the bayview area and also they are expanding the current congregate meals at both their sites. rose is a parks is expanded to 5 days a

week now and also western addition senior center, the very popular -- they are 7 days a week and they are expanding services there as well. are there any questions? >> just one. >> commissioner sims. >> this is an example question so you can probably answer it broadly for me but in many of these proposals there is a one-time equipment item as part of the grant. can you talk philosophically about that as opposed to just the general program. >> where there are sites, especially if they are adding a new site or significantly expanding their program, like their home delivery meal, we don't expect them to fund raise to get the program going, you know, fund raise for a truck or a lot of large equipment items. so it is essential to meet all the nutrition program requirements. we do allow that as part of the negotiation and

we do identify that separately from the regular kind of operating expense. it is considered a one-time only because these steam tables or other kind of large refrigerators, other things, don't need to purchase it on a regular basis but it is a start-up cost. >> thank you. >> any other questions? okay, hearing none, i will call for the vote. all in favor of authorizing to modify the grant with bayview hunters point senior service say aye. opposes? ayes have it so the motion carries. next, c, requesting authorization to modify the grant agreement with glide provision of nutrition services for seniors at congregate meal sites during the period of july

1, 2014 through june 30, 2016 in the additional amount of $85,693 for a revised total grant amount not to exceed $386,564. could i have a motion to discuss? >> so moved. >> second. >> thank you. before i go on to the glide one i did bring the updated congregate meal chart sites with me if that is helpful for you to be able to see where all the meal sites are. i will give it to the secretary. so currently we actually have a total of 48 different congregate meal sites located in different neighborhoods in the city,
