2015-june, 30, 2018, amount of 281, 087 plus amount of 28, 109 not to exceed 309, 196. linda [inaudible] motion to discuss? >> good afternoon director and commissioners and madam secretary. this is a request to renew [inaudible] day service for helths promotion physical fitness and diabetes self management. the amount is not to exceed 309, 196 for fy 15, 16. the services indicated in the memo, the goal is for the health promotion is enable

seniors and adult with disability to be more physically fit with these evidence based programs and this program is offered in 14 different locations throughout the city. [inaudible] day service [inaudible] is our lead agency to help coordinate the services with the partners which they have agreements with. also included in this grant agreement is funding to continue the pilot program for [inaudible] diabetes self management program. we had approvered that this curnt fiscal year and this is clinical model in the community based environment. the serviced to be provided is to serve a total of 850 people

unduplicated consumers with total of 1776 classes. this include the healthy motion class and fall prevention class which is target for more at risk seniors. and then also includes 600 hours individual consultation for the consumers. for the diabetes self management program, it will train 2 additional trainers if needed. they will provide 4 work shops. these are 6 week workshops led my instructors who are certificated and the goal is to have 40 participants and 26 graduated from the workshops and they attend 4 out of the 6 sessions. the classerize 2 and a half hours

long and the objective is to have the consumers at least 85 percent of them will be certify satisfied with the delivery from staff and volunteer and at least 28 percent will maintain or improve fitness level. also with at least 65 percent of the participants will be able to reduce risk if fall in fall prevention questions. >> any comment or questions from the commission? commissioner sims >> i didn't realize there were 16 different locations-14 locations. side question, is it difficult to attach the side chart to the proposal with multiple sites?

>> we can offer that as nrfckz. we don't include it as part of the contract because site changes in terms of staff may change and it is more involved in terms of the contract modification process. that is the reason we don't include the details of the site chart but can offer that as supplemental but it is not a normal part of the contract paperwork >> in this case we may have a site that class at aquatic park once a year and never again. it can move around and change and so the information wouldn't be-- >> the real question it begs is the allocation of staff time with so many locations, where is the weight of these treading programs? it is with program

assistant or health and fitness manager? >> the majority of the budget pays for a part time coordinator at 3 different agencies, so [inaudible] there is staff to do that and for example, if you look at the page 2 of appendix b >> appendix b? >> yes, 2nd to the left. page 2 shows you the staffing, so you know they do have a manager to basically oversee all the different sites and manage and provide technical assistance to subcontractors. they subcontract with san francisco senior center, the aquatic park

site and also with university of san francisco. they have subcontract with that. so, this health fitness manager oversees the entire program and coordinate with all the subcontractors. they have a regional coordinator that is also providing the classes, the instruction, fill in as substitutes if there is someone that is out sick. they do utilize trained volunteers and provide stipends for that to connect these class jz also have program assistance to administer and help provide a lot of the-complete a lot of the paperwork requirement jz intake enrollment and consalitation. the page 3 of the budget shows you other

operating expenses including subcontract with san francisco senior center and university of san francisco. the majority of the budget covers a part time coordinator to coordinate that part of the neighborhood. they decided the city into 3 sections and so each coordinator helps to coordinate the classes in those neighborhoods so it is a little more manageable >> thank you >> commissioner loo >> linda this is a one year contract only, is that right? >> correct because it is extension of the contract so it becomes a forth year. we anticipate-based on the contract requirements we need to do a open rsp for the next cycle. >> thank you >> any other comment or questions? >> i have a question. in your

60 years is that a stiff policy because diabetics start early. is there flexibility if you have someone below 60? >> the target population is not that ridged, so under 60 is welcome if they have diabetes >> comments or questions? comnlts or questions from the public? hearing none, all in favor? opposed? thank you the motion carries >> thank you >> okay item 9 on the agenda, announcements? hearing none. item 10 >> my name is ester [inaudible] from api legal outreach lt i

want to thank you for approving the budget and recognize the amazing and dedicated staff that the department hired especially like maria and deniece. i too am a former city employee with department of human resources and arport and understand what it takes to do good work in the city that reflects the need of the community in a way that is understood to be inclusive responsive and done with a lot of integ rety at this time when it city is plagued with political connection. it is important that the department and commission understand and make it your service accessible to the most [inaudible] communities otherwise not available it them. the segment i really appreciate so many comments you make. it makes us

how to understand how to dig do epier and farther and true to our mission. i want to thank ann and the staff for recognizing that non profit sectors really matters in the city and the state skn in the world. this year marks our 40 anniversary. we couldn't get this far without the support of dos. the older american and everything else and you help grow our community and do our work well and help me [inaudible] why i become a public servant whether it is non profit or civil work. when i say partnership i look to the city employees, the department heads to really advocate for that. commissioner i know you do your work you need the you need to and listen and keep eyes and earsope squn look at your documents and that is your leadership and your policy that

i really appreciate and just to truly understand for non profit now a days is very difficult given all the challenges for workers in human investments. we donot have the benefit of a union. we do not have the benefit of a pension. our employees age out with a lot of some of the disparities and i continue to ask for that recognition. >> thank you very much >> motion to adjourn? >> i have to go if this is public comnlt or announcement. i just want to say i would like to adjourn the meeting on behalf of the deaths that was done in the church, the 9 victims and i just like to say that 3 of the victims were members of my sorority, delta

sigma [inaudible] so i would like to close the meeting in their memory and all of the victims of that [inaudible] >> thank you, the meeting is adjourned. thank you very much edna. food in san francisco isn't

just about expensive eat but food for everyone and there's organizations in the city that are doing really good work making sure that healthy food it assessable to everyone. more and more as follows are are becoming interested in upper arlthd they want to joy the open green pace sea know where their food it coming from we'll look at 3 programs talking ushering

agricultural and garden to new heights. so what exactly it, your honor agricultural >> it the growing food or flowers within city limits traditionally we've been referring to communities gardener that is a raised bed over and over upper argument has a more a farming way of farming. >> so tell me 0 what's growing in this garden. >> a really at all plant. in the one of the rare places, you know people have access to green space 24 is one of the places to grow things like the

purple floor. it is sort of recognizing that the more diversity in given space the better not to just have one thing by everything supported each another >> it provides the community with an opportunity to get their hands dirty and reach 0 out and congressmen with the community in ways they might have not otherwise to engage with one other. >> now the dpw urban planning program so see how the garden community. >> so i grew up on a farm in air force base we picked the foods open the trees and share with other families and as i drive around san francisco i see any trees with apples or mrumdz

and lemon trees i can see the food going to waste and brought that idea back to the department many of the trees where the fruit would go to waste we origin or crop and pick other fruits and delivery this to food banks or shelters to people who need them. >> i'm here with nang wong hello nang. >> hello. >> i need to understand house this gleaning work. >> we come and harvest like for example, we'll come over here this is the lemon and plug it like this. >> (laughter). >> made that good, good and ease. >> the trick is how not to hurt the branches.

>> like the thing. >> i'm so excited about this. the people are so passionate about where the food goes to the private property owners give us the food they're happy that no of a t is going to waste >> oh. thank you. thank you. again job aura natural >> (laughter). >> from backyards to back lots let's take a look at the food and community bonding at the free farm. >> my idea was to start growing food and giving it away. and getting my neighbors to who

had space and having a kind of event that brings people together not to run our food program this time around but to share the wealth of the abundance of our welfare. we were all divorce and as part of our philosophy of working together and working together. >> what's the most rewarding aspect of volunteering for the free farm stand. >> well, we could is a generalic satisfaction but something about giving food away it's giving something i brought that in and sort it and gave it to you it's primitive to be able to give something some basically to someone else. >> now serving number to 49

come on down. >> we have the capability of producing this food and in san francisco you can grow food all year round so the idea we're capable of prougdz food in our own backyards we're here to demonstrate an bans of food and i think that giving it away for free we show individuals it in have to be a comedy. >> we build time together and it's the strength of any ideas of the connections we'll turn that connection and the more connections you make no mistake about it the more you can have a stronger power and not have to rely on money that's the people

power. >> in this episode we've seen the urban farms and gardens provide more in fruits and vegetation people can have the special produce available it can be a place to give back by donating food to others and teach our children the connection to the earth and environment it's truly >> what if you could make a memorial that is more about information and you are never fixed and it can go wherever it wants to go? everyone who has donated to it could use it host it share it.

>> for quite a great deal of team she was hired in 2005 she struggled with finding the correct and appropriate visual expression. >> it was a bench at one point. it was a darkened room at another point. but the theme always was a theme of how do we call people's attention to the issue of species species extinction. >> many exhibits do make long detailed explanations about species decline and biology of birds and that is very useful for lots of purposes. but i think it is also important to try to pull at the strings inside people. >> missing is not just about specific extinct or endangered species. it is about absence and a more fundamental level of not knowing what we are losing and we need

to link species loss to habitat loss and really focuses much on the habitat. >> of course the overall mission of the academy has to do with two really fundamental and important questions. one of which is the nature of life. how did we get here? the second is the challenge of sustainability. if we are here how are we going to find a way to stay? these questions resonated very strongly with maya. >> on average a species disappears every 20 minutes. this is the only media work that i have done. i might never do another one because i'm not a media artist per se but i have used the medium because it seemed to be the one that could allow me to convey the sounds and images here. memorials to me are different from artworks. they are artistic, but memorials

have a function. >> it is a beautiful scupltural objective made with bronze and lined with red wood from water tanks in clear lake. that is the scupltural form that gives expression to maya's project. if you think about a cone or a bull horn, they are used to get the attention of the crowd often to communicate an important message. this project has a very important message and it is about our earth and what we are losing and what we are missing and what we don't even know is gone. >> so what is missing is starting with an idea of loss, but in a funny way the shape of this cone is whether you want to call it like the r.c.a. victor dog, it is listen to the earth and what if we could create a portal that could look

at the past, the present and the future? >> you can change what is then missing by changing the software, by changing what is projected and missing. so missing isn't a static installation. it is an installation that is going to grow and change over time. and she has worked to bring all of this information together from laboratory after laboratory including, fortunately, our great fwroup of researchers ers-- group of researchers at the california academy. >> this couldn't have been more site specific to this place and we think just visually in terms of its scupltural form it really holds its own against the architectural largest and grandeur of the building. it is an unusual compelling object. we think it will draw people out on the terrace they will see the big cone and say what is that. then as they approach the cone tell hear these very unusual sounds that were obtained from

the cornell orinthology lab. >> we have the largest recording of birds, mammals frogs and insects and a huge library of videos. so this is an absolutely perfect opportunity for us to team up with a world renown, very creative inspirational artist and put the sounds and sights of the animals that we study into a brand-new context a context that really allows people to appreciate an esthetic way of the idea that we might live in the world without these sounds or sites. >> in the scientific realm it is shifting baselines. we get used to less and less, diminished expectations of what it was. >> when i came along lobsters six feet long and oysters 12 inches within they days all the oyster beds in new york,

manhattan, the harbor would clean the water. so, just getting people to wake up to what was just literally there 200 years ago 150 years ago. you see the object and say what is that. you come out and hear these intriguing sounds, sounds like i have never heard in my life. and then you step closer and you almost have a very intimate experience. >> we could link to different institutions around the globe maybe one per continent maybe two or three in this country then once they are all networked, they begin to communicate with one another and share information. in 2010 the website will launch, but it will be what you would call an informational website and then we are going to try to by 2011, invite people to add a memory. so in a funny way the member rely grows and there is something organic about how this memorial begins to have legs so

to speak. so we don't know quite where it will go but i promise to keep on it 10 years. my goal is to raise awareness and then either protect forests from being cut down or reforest in ways that promote biodiversity. >> biodiverse city often argued to be important for the world's human populations because all of the medicineal plants and uses that we can put to it and fiber that it gives us and food that it gives us. while these are vital and important and worth literally hundreds of billions of dollars, the part that we also have to be able to communicate is the more spiritual sense of how important it is that we get to live side by side with all of these forms that have three billion years of history behind them and how tragic it would be not commercially and not in a utilitarian way but an emotional

emotional, psychological spiritual way if we watch them one by one disappear. >> this is sort of a merger between art and science and advocacy in a funny way getting people to wake unand realize what is going on -- wake up and realize what is going on. so it is a memberorial trying to get us to interpret history and look to the past. they have always been about lacking at the past so we proceed forward and maybe don't commit the same mistakes. >> the annual celebration of hardly strictly bluegrass is always a hit now completing itself 12 year of music in the incredible golden gate park. >> this is just the best park

to come to. it's safe. it's wonderful and such a fun time of the year. there is every kind of music you can imagine and can wander around and go from one stage to another and just have fun. >> 81 bands and six stages and no admission. this is hardly strictly bluegrass. >> i love music and peace. >> i think it represents what is great about the bay area. >> everyone is here for the music and the experience. this is why i live here. >> the culture out here is amazing. it's san francisco. >> this is a legacy of the old warren hel ment and receive necessary funding for ten years after his death. >> there is a legacy that started and it's cool and he's done something wonderful for

the city and we're all grateful. hopefully we will keep this thing going on for years and years to come.
