so i'm making $640 a month from ssi i recently took a letter to social security to tell them i was living here and i no longer had subsidized rent and they wanted to know how i was renting a room in san francisco on $600 a month and i said i sold my possessions when i moved and i said you had to report that. it became this thing where they didn't want to take the letter because there was no way out of that rock and a hard place. so i'm beting on san francisco that in the next 10 years i can go back into the work force somehow, but clearly it's a brutal market out there for housing and that's a really important thing to address for seniors. >> i've jeff sheehy, and i'm a

member of the steering committee getting to zero effort and i was here recently talking to everyone about this. i want to thank supervisor wiener and the committee for taking on this issue. we spent a lot of time in getting to zero preventing new infections but also zero death rate. housing is one of the key factors in allowing people to stabilize and maintain their health. dumping a large number of people out of their housing is not going to keep you alive, i can guarantee you that. the efforts of the board of supervisors to try to address this is central to getting to zero deaths from hiv. we totally support funding to maintain folks in their homes and honestly i think we should

be looking beyond just people on long-term disability who are being, are facing losing their homes and looking at the whole population of people living with hiv that are faced with potential homelessness. we cannot maintain the health of people with hiv unless we can keep them housed. that's absolutely central to achieving our goals. so i want to thank the supervisors for taking this time and that's it. >> hi, my name is kevin vandenburg and thank you so much for focusing attention on this issue. i'm kind of winging it. the very fact that i am here talking about outliving the terms of my long-term disability insurance

is simultaneously surreal and astonishing and it is uncharted territory but long-term survivors are sort of used to a lot of uncharted territory. sort of the land we've been living in. i'm sorry. anyway, i'm 55 and will, my income will basically drop by 50 percent and that's in 10 years and the cost of housing, i can't even imagine what that will be. other issues that i've thought about are not only the cost of housing, which are clearly daunting, but also looking at the cost of social services and mental health services for people who are

approaching this crisis and are finding themselves overwhelmed with feelings of depression and even thoughts of suicide because they can't imagine how they are going to navigate this. i also want to thank pez for, i've always sort of thought that this long-term survivor issue for people living with aids is a unique form of ptsd and it can be pretty overwhelming and also want it reiterate the fact that people with private ltd cannot work which puts them in a disability trap where they can't even try to work. >> thank you very much. i have a few more cards, vince --

i'm sorry, i cannot read the last name, greg hasesen, kevin vanderberg. >> hello, i manage a program called 50 plus which is for gay men over 50 both positive and negative. this is a generation -- actually, first, i moved back to san francisco about a year and a half ago and i think i heard something wrong in the presentation. it says ryan white funds subsidies in the city. i thought the city took over that. so i just want toad put that out as a point of clarification. but what i wanted to say is this is a generation that faced the greatest scourge of our lifetimes. my parents who were in two wars have not even seen this. i want to thank my

colleagues, my friends, who stood up here to talk about this. to live to this point, to survive, then to be faced with this, loodsing your income, back in the day i lived in virginia for 28 years. they said long before hiv or aids killed you, it would strip you of your dignity and that's what will happen when these people get to that age and they loods their income and they lose their homes. in our program they say the first priority is to keep your house, the second is to be fed then they will worry about all the other thingses. echoing the getting to zero, it may not be aids related but i guarantee if they are homeless on the street, taesz bus of hiv and disability. i think the system, you have to give hope to the people. actually i'll just leave it at that. you have to give hope to the people. they have already been

through enough. thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you, supervisors, my name is greg hasser, i work at john p. project, one of the oldest hiv projects in san francisco. i work at a program, a retreat program for long-term survivors predominately. i just want to start by saying we always do a poll at the beginning of every retreat where people do a show of hands and they show how many people have lost a partner, how many people have lost two partners, how many have lost three partners, the hands usually stay raised all the way to three partners, maybe 80 percent of the people. how many people have lost their entire circle of friends, the people they had thank -- thanksgiving with, people they

went on vacation with, people they planned on growing old with, 85 percent of the hands are raised at that time and everybody is weeping. this group relies on their homes, relies on the services that these people who have been heroes in our community, some for 30 years, we rely on this to stay alive. the biggest challenge we have in san francisco for long-term survivors is for people to stay tethered. they are isolated, depressed and alone. to lose their contact with the only home they know with their services, with their medical services, to lose that is to lose everything, is the difference between life and death. we liken this community to veterans, that these are people who helped build this very city. many of these guys living on disability, living in sro's, are homeless, every

single one of us out here knows dozens of people that had to leave this city after an entire lifetime here. thank you so much for the work you are doing. thank you. and thank you guys. >> thank you very much. >> hi, i am ted anderson, the ass stands for aids survivor syndrome, the fear, stigma we experienced. in my case 33 years. i think two things that -- there have been very articulate people today, i'm not going to repeat what they said. we still have a contribution to make, long-term survivors. we have a lot of experience, a lot of knowledge, a lot of talent that's not being utilized because we feel like we don't

have a purpose any more. i think it's important we be given a leg up. we went through what was considered a war by most people and it was a war zone. san francisco in those days, we all know what it was like. if you didn't live through those years you may not understand how horrific that was. it was also a time for us coming together in a way that was remarkable. we're doing it again. 50 plus, greg's group was an extraordinary experience, are bringing people together. we're hearing stuff from people about their lives. housing is a huge issue. so is economic insecurity. we are not, we don't have the kind of resources to live in an expensive city like sfkts, so -- like san francisco so anything we can do to help us live longer would be awesome. the thing i want to throw in here is data. every time we come in one of these meetings

we are making up statistics. we need to do a survivor survey, a survivor census, to learn who these people are and how to treat them. thank you for holding a meeting on long-term survivors, it's awesome to be here. thank you. >> any additional public comment on item 1? seeing none, mr. chairman, we can close public comment. >> public comment is now closed. >> colleagues, thank you for hearing this item today. it's one piece of the broader issue and challenge we face around our aging lgbt population. yesterday, colleagues, and i want to thank you for this, we unanimously passed our legislation to address discrimination and other needs of lgbt seniors living in

long-term care facilities. we have other legislation in the works to begin moving forward with implementation of the lgbt aging task force's recommendations, we will have several budget proposals around aspects of that report. and this issue is certainly an issue we need to grapple with. the good part about it, in addition to the fact that people are living longer and living healthier lives, the positive here is that this is not one of those issues that is perpetual and has no boundaries around it. this is a very discrete, defined population of long-term survivors who we need to address so we don't have large numbers of people with hiv losing their housing and either becoming homeless or housing to leave the city. i know we can address it working to the and i look forward to that work. with that, mr. chairman, if there are no additional

comments or questions i would ask that we file item no. 1. >> thank you, supervisor wiener, thank you to everyone to came out to speak on this item today and our budget analyst for their hard work. may we have a motion to file no. 1. >> so moved. >> and we will take that without objection. >> thank you very much, colleagues. item 2, resolution authorizing the general manager of the sf public utilities commission to negotiate and execute a modification to the memorandum of understanding with the u.s. department of interior national park yosemite national park to supply additional funding in an amount of approximately 6.6 million. >> thank you, madam clerk, we have steve richie from our puc to speak on this item. >> thank you, chairman farrell, committee members, this moa allows us to pay the

park service for some very valuable services they perform to us relating to surface water quality protection, for dam security, also working closely with them on environmental stewardship on the tuolome river. we are looking for a one year extension to get this on to the two year budget cycle. the original moa was for 5 years, this would make it a 6th year, we want to have it match the two-year budget cycle. >> mr. rose, why don't we go to your report, please. >> yes, mr. chairman, members of the committee, on page 4 of our report we say as shown in table 2, the puc has already incurred 27 million under the existing memorandum of understanding which is 466,892

authorizing the prior resolution approved by the board of supervisors board of supervisors in 2010 on page 5 of our report we show the one year extension plus the 466,896 which i just referenced, that equals a total increased amount of $6,586,880, and adding that add, that 6.6 million to the existing total authorization of 27.5 million, results in a total revised not to exceed request of 34,073,084.

we note the proposed amendment does not (inaudible). >> okay, thank you, mr. rose. to our city attorney making this change substantive, do we have to hold it over or can we do it today and pass it out.

>> deputy city attorney john geberra it's not substantive. just to clarify, the board can't amend the agreement, only the puc can, but if the puc intends to include this in the agreement you can note it in the resolution or, as the budget analyst, you can urge the puc to include a not to exceed in the resolution. >> maybe we should just talk about that topic itself. do you have an issue? >> i have no issue, frankly i was mortified when i found out we had overextended and tried to find out where was the control that should have been in place. this is a very simple and effective resolution of that so we are in total agreement with it. >> supervisor. >> my question was actually just about that very same topic, making sure that moving forward that there are the internal controls that the budget analyst had recommended. i'm not sure why it wasn't in there in the first place. >> i'll be careful it won't happen again.

>> thank you. if no other questions, colleagues, we will open up to public comment. anybody wish to comment on item 2? seeing none, public comment is closed. so, colleagues, we have a recommendation by our budget analyst. >> i will move to amend the proposed resolution to make that change in the moa to a total not to exceed amount of 34,072,384 in the related memorandum of understanding with the national park service and in support of the resolution as amended. >> we have a motion by supervisor march and we can take that without objection. >> item 3, resolution that agencies qualified to participate in the 2015 annual joint fund raising drive for officers and employees of the city and county of san francisco. >> okay. >> good morning, chair farrell, members of the

committee, joan lugamersky from the office of the city administrator. we have reviewed the applications from the 7 federations that applied and found all are in compliance with the administrative code requirements. >> thank you very much. colleagues, any questions? okay, we do not have a budget analyst's report so we will move on to public comment. anyone wish to comment on item no. 3? seeing none, public comment is closed. supervisor tang >> thank you, i'm really glad to see the various numbers of nonprofits that are going to be added to this so we can participate and contribute to these organizations through this program that we have. so i am happy to move this resolution to the full board with a positive recommendation. >> okay, we have a motion by supervisor tang, we can also take that without objection. okay, we've done item 4, so item 5. >> resolution approving a funding agreement with the bay area air quality management district for the sfmta's

electronic bicycle lock project for a term in excess of 10 years following board approval. >> okay. >> good morning, subcommittee members, my name is joel goldberg, i'm the manager of capital procurement and management at sfmta we are excited to get this modest but interesting project launched, it's electronic bicycle lockers. the district expects the board of supervisors to take a look and approve the grant agreement because the duration of the asset is longer than 10 years. we agree with the small linguistic change presented by the budget analyst staff and i'm happy to answer any questions about this grant opportunity. thank you. >> thanks very much. supervisor mar. >> thank you mr. goldberg and mr. oliang for being here. i wanted to thank the air quality management board for this, i

think the 28 electronic bike lockers are really needed. we need much more, though. i wanted to appreciate the clean air regional fund and all our efforts to increase bicycling and different levels of multi modal transportation in our city, but thanks so much to the mta for this. >> thank you very much. we similarly do not have a budget analyst report on this item? >> chair farrell, i wanted to say there's a minor amendment, just one word change, i believe. >> mr. rose? >> mr. chairman, members of the committee, on page 23 we note the total estimated project cost for the 28 electronic bicycle lockers is $117,828 and that's shown in table 2. the funding sources are shown in table 3, both on page 24 of our report, and as supervisor mar has indicated we

have a minor typo change going from the word, to change the word clear to clean as specified on page 25 of our report and we recommend you approve the proposed resolution as amended. >> thank you, mr. rose. colleagues, no other questions, why don't we do public comment real quick and then look at those amendments. seeing nobody in the chambers we will close public comment. >> i will move the amendment and support for the resolution as amended. >> okay, we have a motion by supervisor mar and we can also take that without objection. okay, madam clerk, do we have any other business in front of us? >> no, mr. chair. >> thanks, everyone, we are adjourned.
