committee since tent 12 after the disillusion of the redevelopment agency and [inaudible] get all the successor agencies and [inaudible] we were also able to all the [inaudible] completed and [inaudible] all the funds back and got a state finding of completion. we are also successful receiving final and [inaudible] of 3 project areas, the ship yard and transbay and mission day. we also have been able to achieve [inaudible] on the long range property management plan. we moved from semi-annual approval and issues [inaudible] we also continue to maintain a oversight role as well as new obligation and the

oversight board is also charged with reviewing and approving issuances as well as properties that are under the successor agencies jurisdiction. my expertise i bring to the table is debt issuance and [inaudible] so there is a huge level of debt issuance required to issue debt not to just deliver on the infrastructure but affordable housing. the housing isn't under the oversight board [inaudible] i am thrilled and honored and love to stay on the committee. >> great, thank you very much. maybe if you can tell us a little about-i understand a lot of the work is probably very much ongoing because they are long term projects but what

do you anticipate to be some of the major issues or challenges for the upcoming year? >> i should acknowledge that we have been able to overcome a lot of the issues when disillusion came about we had a challenge of issuance of bonds for housing and we didn't have clarity on transbay for issuance of bonds in transbay. most preently recently the state approved legislation that allowed to issue that so in terms of going forward the challenge will be on [inaudible] with development or cost increases with infrastructure, the [inaudible] already executed so have the ability to issue that on their behalf. it could be [inaudible] we have a recession or not, but in terms of the project and develops we

have partnerships with we don't anticipate there to be a issue. what could potentially be something we will have to observe in the long run is the timing of when development comes on line so there is enough [inaudible] with housing as needed. most importantly it is probably timing of when development comes on line but the [inaudible] is already pledged to the development and center a agreement from department of finances that have those allowable contracts. >> great, thank you. colleagues any questions, comments? okay, seeing none we'll move on to mr. olson lee. >> good morning supervisors. my name is olson lee and a current member of the oversight board and director of office of housing and commune

with the passage of sb 107, with the assistance of the state delegation, affordable housing received additional funds from prior redevelopment project areas to help complete many enforceable obligations in transbay and mission day and candle stick point and look forward to the opportunity to provide guidance on the implementation of the work of ocii. >> thank you and then just the same question but from your perspective, what do you see as the major challenges or issues you will work on the next year? >> i think the major issuers are figuring how to implement sb 107.

report and this is my first time here. so, with regards to the quarterly report, and the-we did 20 site visits this first quarter of the year and what were looking for are issues such as the facilities cleaned, bathrooms stocked recollect adequate bedding, storage, adequate meals, signage and ada accommodation and reasonability information. there are 43 total complaints during the quarter and that is consistent with previous year where we were averaging around 40 complaints per quarter and a break down of the types of complaints, 81 percent were staff related issues, fallowed

by facility and access issues, 9 percent. health and hygiene, 8 percent. ada, 1.8 percent. so that is a summary of the quarterly report. do you have any questions regarding the quarterly report? >> um, thank you. i just wanted to-i had a chance to read through it before hand so you mentioned the number of complaints for the quarter was consistent. it looked like a very high percentage in terms of complaints that are staff related, is that also across the board across the various reporting periods? >> i'll let howard answer because he has been doing the quarterly reports. >> good morning, supervisor, howard chen, policy analyst on the staff. what we have seen is typically there is a pattern of complaint about staff

being the biggest issue with client complaint. >> and can you elberate a bit on what that entails? >> sure, the staff category is one of the broadest categories of complaints we take and that can range from staff not having id badges to potentially using disrespectful language while speaking to clients and it can be something as serious as non maintaining a safe environment. the staff category is very broad so as a result you receive a lot of complaint in that category. >> have there been anything done to address that issue then, especially such a overwhelming percentage of complaints are based on that category? >> when clients come in and file complaints with our office, what we do is we track the names of the staff being named and the complaint

and if the new trend with specific staff receiving a unusual amounts of complaints, what we do is send that information over to the contract monitor, but from what we have seen so far, there haven't been that many individual staff that continuously we see complaint. it is different staff receiving complaints from different clients. >> okay. thank you. >> i had a question, mr. chin, it looks like next door is the site of 25 complaints and i'm wondering and looking at the narrative of-could you just explain-it seems like that is where some of the concentrated complaints are and how that was resolved? >> so, next door is one the largest shelters in the city system and so as a result we do see they typically receive a more complaints than some of the smaller sites. that would also be true for [inaudible] south and

providence as those are some very large sites and typically they do receive more client complaints. >> one was no smoking sign not posted in spanish, how-are smoking complaints a common type of complaint at a number of the shelter? >> there isn't a complaint we receive a lot of. for that particular instance i can't recall the exact details of that complaint but that isn't something that typically comes up very often >> thank you. >> maybe that was from a site visit where we observed there want a no smoking sign in spanish because they are required to have all the signs in spanish and english. >> alright. thank you. any other questions from committee members? seeing none i just look forward to continue working with the shelter monering committee, human services agency and of course providers

as well in term thofz policy regarding people involved in domestic violence incidence so thank hsa helping work on that in the past wreer changing that policy so hope we can continue making improvements on that. >> i also thank hsa for their support and assistance as well as you, supervisor tang and the board of supervisors for passing the resolution back in december. there is a additional item which i wanted to bring to your attention and that is the shelter monitoring committee has some legislation recommendations and one of them has to do with the standser of care number 12 which is there should be two clean sheets and some [inaudible] they don't have laundry

facilities, so the recommendation that we are making is that they be aloud to substitute a clean blanket for a clean sheet and not get written up at violating a standard of care item. and the second recommendation we are making has to do with the board of supervisors seat 1. currently this seat has to be sfiled by someone who is homeless person or homeless 3 years prior to appointment living a homeless child or the recommendation is living a homeless child under the age of 18. it is issue for the committee to find candidates who are currently homeless with their homeless child, not to find but to keep them because if you a homeless and trying to care for a child it

is very difficult to be going on all the shelter inspections we do each month and it is difficult to attend the committee meeting and any subcommittee meetings, so we would like to recommend that this be changed to somebody who has lived with a homeless child under the age of 18 at some point within the candidates life time. we believe it will make it easier to keep someone in this position. it is currently unfilled on the committee. and the third recommendation is that the terms of each committee officer, they are two years, but we ask that they be staggered so half rupointed on a even year and half are appointed on a odd year so we can have consistency in the committee with experience.

thank you, if you have any questions- >> thank you. and so just in terms of the 3 recommendations sound good to me. i just wonder does department staff want to weigh in on this and let us know their thoughts? >> did you mean the staff from dph or hsa? >> either one >> we [inaudible] shelter monitoring officers quarterly so we work through these changes and agreement with all of them. >> great. just for the record [inaudible] >> sorry. >> great. [inaudible] >> howard chin, policy analyst. [inaudible] assistant to dweckter of health will coordinate with dpa and hsa. he is out of town but

can forward questions or concerns over to him. >> thank you. colleagues any questions or comment? that thank you so much for your work and department staff. we'll open up item 5 to public comment. i think mr. walter left. no members of the public for item 5. this was a hearing so if we have a motion to file this hearing. >> so moved >> thank you. >> second by supervisor cohen. the hearing is filed mptd mr. clerk do we have any other items before us? >> no more items, madam chair. >> okay thank you. meeting is adjourned. [meeting adjourned]
