important to make sure this area the city flourishes and you are thrives for future residents and others in the tenderloin thank you. >> thank you, mr. stall next item, please. >> madeline. >> good afternoon. >> nice to see you all again yes madeline folks for polk i'm here to speak for the lower polk neighborhood association for the cd and the new leadership the polk association there is great support for the bike lanes and as jane kim and kevin referenced crisscrossed by freeways one way streets of which people go high speeds and the residents suffer a one, two punch one of the biggest crash zones but disproportionately for bicyclists i've personal rind there are no bike lanes that

offer that route from downtown towards the west through the t l and dangerous and thus people rides on sidewalks or whatever and then suffering with the citations they get and supervisor kim referenced the nature the neighborhood and golden gate avenue is changing to which i want to add that bike shares have coming up with the second roll out we would like to see this in the ground and more safety for people which will 2, 3, 4 turn increase the uncle of the bike share system and relief some of the congestion i want to quote the mp a leadership it promotes safety and they would to see a 2-way street with wider sidewalks we look forward to

protected bike lanes like ellis and others. >> mr. chairman the last person to turn in a speaker card. >> is there a >> >> all in favor, say i. >> i. >> opposed? the i's have it. okay 10.2a and has to do with with establishing a commuter shuttle a bus zone on valencia street. >> ab yes. the first speaker is j.d. (calling names). >> good afternoon good afternoon my name is j.d. i've lived on the corner of valencia and 26 street and my comments will be two issues one safety and the second traffic first vision zero plan was implemented to reduce the traffic deaths and mass no sense

for the shuttles a major bicycle avenue they blocks o block the bike lanes and as they wait they're blocking bike lanes and 3 or more shuttles idling and people find themselves trapped one in front of them in the stop blocking the bike lanes and the 3 on the left side this mick of huge buses and bikes is no way to reduce the high injury corridor the second point is traffic and congestion the shutter operators claim to take cars off the road i'll argue they relieve congestion further i counted 34 bus stops the commuters can take bart or caltrain to the peninsula and have a shutter you pick up them

they're having a saving and assuming a fraction of the 8 hundred shuttle trips from thirty to 40 miles of congestion on the highways those living more than 4 blocks away with the shuttle take them to the nearest hotel station and traveling short distances within the city will reduce commemorating and this will help reduce the green house gas emissions and four of them less than a thirds etch people will walk to the station this is a common sense method and reduces the need for more public space. >> next speaker, please. >> (calling names). >> good afternoon good afternoon directors my name is dan i've been a funeral director in san francisco for the last 43 years

our family owns the mortgage on 26 and van ness r valencia street i'm a fourth adjudication funeral director on valencia street my father and great gathering owned. >> funnel home on have a seat street on the valencia corridor since the last 80s when the funeral per sessions were by horse-and-buggy we host 4 hundred funeral services every year we as well churches in that direct vicinity have historically been allowed to park vehicles down the center deprived of valencia street with morning and evening having anyal or rosary services we also line up femur per

>> good afternoon, sir. >> good afternoon thank you for the opportunity my name is martin i live on valencia street and i am here as a residence i'd like to echo any support of j.d. and mortuary they've put forth before the board i want to cite some statistics and propose alternative transportation that i on intersections should be considered in 2011 when valencia street the greenway was permanence and allocated to bicycle lane and widened the skraukz a boom and increasing the bike traffic to the last consensus to 13 hundred bikes a day 13 hundred bikes traveling down valencia street has to

compete with the stretch the newcomers commuter shuttles that are traveling when i compare that to mission street it has less than - only about 15 percent of bike traffic about 100 percent and 70 bicyclists in the last consensus and also zero percentage of the commuter bus stops on mission street and 16th street with the terms of the muni bus blockade when you take into consideration along with the street changes on mission street where you have to turn off and make resistant and it is transit only between 14 and caesar chavez it didn't make sense to the bus corridor i propose it be considered we consider utilizing mission

street as a sole first street oriented street and leave it to the bicyclists and improving the safety of the bicyclists and the businesses around >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> (calling names). >> and that's the last person that turned in a speaker card. >> good afternoon. >> hi i'm cindy the community relations i director the salvation army with the rehabilitation center the bus stops is going to be foreclose of our building our main concern about 50 feet towards caesar chavez our main driveway with our 32 box trucks leaving at 6:30 in the mornings with the concern with the buses parked at the bus stop it going to cause a blind stop for not only the driveways but the cyclists on the street and also, if there is a pilot and our trucks can't get

out it impacts our nonprofit business if we don't get our trucks it out out to pick up the donations it will impact us we have a nonprofit that provides drug and alcohol rehabilitation free for men and women we hope this bus stop is not go in front of our building thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> laura (calling names) those are the last two people. >> nominees a lauren i'm a resident on valencia and 26 we'll we've brought 6 speakers i present one hundred and 15 signatures from residents and businesses and customers near valencia and 26 street that oppose the proposed commuter shuttles there and that's my personal statement 70 percent of severe and

fatality are 12 percent of the students valencia street is considered one of the high injury corridors according could sfmta data is a significant number of injuries to pedestrian and cyclists why are continuity shuttles allowed on valencia the main north-south thoroughfare for cyclists and moving the shuttle from one block at valencia and 25 to valencia and 26 which this proposal does we're not making us safer and moving the blocks east or west to other high injury corridor streets that is mission and south jean e van ness and according to the mta data will not make the pedestrians and cyclists safer i on intersections that sfmta mediate to step back and create a plan not allow the shuttles that are

ramped up 800 visitations to drive the - i know this is on your plate to do; right? those transit hubs really will be outside of the city and bart is a great idea the new transbay terminal i urge you to consider the locations that provide safe spots away from residents and businesses and schools safety first thank you. >> thank you and . >> i actually - >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> last speaker tie walker. >> good afternoon mr. walker. >> thank you for your time for hearing me, i'm a residence of 1457 north of the proposed commuter bus stop on valencia and 26 street the issue is a health concern with regards to

the commuter buses offending off valencia i'm a bicyclist and suffer from allergies that are aggravated by diesel and other manages and further contemplating this resulted in the removal of part of my - i have asthma rooerpd when i'm cycling and caught behind a bus and i noticed an increase in any allergies the second issue is in regards to safety i regularly witness the operators of the bus driving too fast and waiting to enter the intersections and at mortuary and church with 3 popular bars

and restaurants all in our block that results in a nightmare in terms of parking so basically what i see routing is you know cars parking in the middle of the street and on the right and the left and the computer shuttles running up and down 0 intolg those gaps it is disconcerning not only as a cyclist but a retained it is sort of a matter of when someone will get hit in closing thank you to the board for hearing our concerns regarding this bus stop i realize it a difficult discussion your weighing a lot of facts but we live on the block and it is becoming so congested and thank you and take care. >> members of the board director reiskin. >> director rahaim's.

>> please ask what are the spots out of curiosity. >> every block will have merchants it is a silver bullet but just. >> - good afternoon decorations so the reason we brought this proposal because an existing computer shutters southbound on 24 street that is a shuttle zone eurozone large enough for one shuttle when happens some of the speakers adu alluded to the shuttles will block the bike lane and drivers at the crosswalks the new zone on 26 street is large enough for two shuttles they'll park there without blocking the salvation army driveway the logic to remove a zone two small and one

that is alongside. >> this will share the zone okay. >> not a frustration. >> director ramos i want to remind us all that is a very much are still a relatively exploratory phase of what we want to make permanent these things can be adjusted relatively easily i certainly emphasize with those who ride their bicycles up and down hate street during the commute times i have to commend with the large vehicles and i know they can be imitating at the same time i know that i recognize they're taking a bunch of cars off the street and one professional driver driving on

15 or 20 more people than those 20 people or maybe 15 of them driving their individual cars we're put in a position to make trade offs the thing that really stood out i hope we'll pay attention to the salvation army trucking and delivering i on intersections this is something that i mean, i for one value our services i'm sure a lot of folks that do that we can speak for so i'll just encourage us to be cause how it is accounting in the long run the blind spot is real i believe especially, as bicyclist thereer pedestrians walk where the traffic is that is a concern i for one been keeping an eye on this and confident staff will be where respect to the petitions i saw

ooechld and a lot of the comments made i on intersections that is more helpful if alternative transportation were proposed i mean, i would opposite those verngz vehicles on my street as well but the reality of this they have to go somewhere we need a place to go and can't keep them around and around and need alternative transportation to oppose i feel that we ended up we're compromising here so i will as a board member be open to ideas and suggestions but at this point, i feel that staff has done you know their due diligence we're not going to make everyone happy but again, it feels like this is something we can change in the future if we need to i'll, supportive. >> pardon mr. maguire earlier in our report on guerrero street

will this impact this particular decision this afternoon potentially. >> so the decision we are making please replace one with another so not increase or decrease but move into a place a they'll more curve space and certainly we know or understand that van ness and delores are part of south systematically system so continue to be look at ways to relieve the pressure. >> members of the board is that a motion any further discussion? >> all in favor, say i. >> i. >> opposed? the i's have it. i'd like to associate myself with director ramos position. >> ms. bloomer. >> all right mr. chairman 10 want 2 c e and f has to do with with a commuter shuttle on golf and franklin street and you have one person that wishes to address on this matter and that

is marlene morgan. >> ms. morgan. >> i see ms. morgan here. >> oh, she's coming. >> oh, great. >> hello commissioners. i'm marlene mortgage of the commuter association i want to mention we did a lot of work with the camtc hospital a bigger supporter of the van ness brt we on intersections that will do a great job in businesses and move traffic but because of complexity right now with the polk being revved for van ness and transit and golf and franklin are still the corridors for north-south traffic from the golden gate bridge and actually,

i thought we were doing prospecting with the commuters on van ness what a lot of bus stops people waiting for them in the morning later unfortunate morning in the evening their empty from 6 to 8 and 4 from like maybe 6 to go 8 at night they're heavy yes used before moving on to these to golf and franklin which are gridlocks now can there be more study about how many of these buses are hitting those stops everyday how many people in them fully uses and shorten the time period love to get the marin county people out of their single contributor occupancy vehicles that will not happy overnight how many people and what's the impacts and particularly in ellis and golf

the cathedral hill crossing the school is a very dangerous crossing that's a very bad place to put a bop if you on about that we'll appreciate that. >> i'm familiar with that area lots 0 a lots of traffic everyday with the high school especially in the moorings and acupunctures could we - >> inquiry. >> i on intersections that is also at the top of hill talk about other spots i know because of the construction going on with camtc particularly along golf street sometimes that lane is not available for the traffic a lot of congestion from about geary to california.

>> mr. maguire we've looked a lot of stops the reason it is here we need to move the shuttles off the van ness awhile today you're looking at stops and franklin and golden gate and bush through additional locations golf and pine we withdraw the neighbors expressed concerned about the traffic problems and blocked driveways and for franklin and hayes to be a shutter stop but clftsdz with safety there so we looked a wide variety of locations van ness is a high volume place. >> so that's the near itself stops. >> i'll ask my colleague to

speak. >> thanks tom and members of the board. >> state your name for the record ami alex working on the commuter program for the last couple of months currently stops along van ness at van ness and california and van ness and madam secretary we've proposed an extra stop to sprayed out the shuttles stomping so the shuttle that are stopping at california and bush stop the shuttle at golf and ma marpt. >> our concern is when school stops and starts is it possible

to limit the shuttles during that period of time can you do it later or earlier. >> it's a big school. >> yeah. so these are proposed for the standard 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. that's the majority of southbound or northbound you know the >> 6 to 8. >> could you do it on eddy it is just the park not the - a lot of traffic going to eddy. >> so we look at every single thing on franklin and golf we generally have not put shuttles in front of parks there is all kinds of pedestrian traffic into the parks that's a

location. >> there is a baseball diamond that is flater your at the top of hill as ellis i'm not trying to make our life for complicated but i used to live actually in that building 15 years ago. >> so the thing about second-guessing at the board meeting it is difficult to your point try not to put them in front of parks i respect that but between 10 and 6:00 in the morning more traffic at the schools than the park again that is a dangerous cyclist road to go down but if there is a minor tweak. >> have we heard from the school itself. >> no, but alex reminded me an issue with the trees at eddy due

to the visibility. >> (laughter). >> so we look at the trees extend out of the right away when we look at the shuttle zebras and at that location at eddy the trees limbs extended into the street that preventive shuttles from pulling to the curve and block traffic so - >> trim the trees. >> what if we approve that the first time. >> we can't say trim the trees i'm sorry, i mean it is a rec and park thing in terms of safety it would be much better at that location those fields are used at night life and the sklsz in full sections in the daylight or daytime i'm not trying to make that difficult there are real concerns because of hills and the school and -

>> what if we approved that with exception of one stop and come back and talk about the trimming of the trees. >> we'll visit the eddy issue with rec and park and come back to the next meeting met the july deadline. >> we'll ask the gentleman next time yes, thank you. >> okay. thank you very much. >> so mr. chairman for clarity item 10 c e and f the item is to the approved. >> is it possible to remove golf and eddy. >> just c so then e and f. >> we approve that's the motion i assume we have the motion. >> yes, sir. >> a motion and second any further discussion? >> all in favor, say i. >> i. >> and ask the city to come back with an evaluation of the park positive only the alternative thank you for coming appreciate

it. >> ms. bloomer. >> all right. all right. regular calendar item 11 dedicating cable car willie junior on the 85 birthday >> more fun. >> mr. chair we had the great honor a few weeks ago you remember there along with the mayor and larry bear the head of the giants and others to celebrate the andrew of two san francisco consciousness associated with number 24 our own cable car number 24 that was built in 1897 that is mind-boggling not too many over one hundred vehicles but cable car 24 was actually

mr. chairman no members of the public that wishes to address this matter. >> good afternoon i'm victor with mta and joined by my colleague on the project so i'm sure we've heard that the city can do a better job of implementing the project and today is the opportunities to show our commitment to project delivery as you may know we've been focused on how quickly to import the transportation prongs and in fact, project delivery in terms of ceqa streamlining you've seen as it relates to level of service and actually frankly staffing working with the planning department's and the environmental review we had other successes is he activated a system to track the folks that are butt the projects and identifying the issues in advance and mitigate them in the process as possible so we've moving forward with our project

delivery successes but a resource with the project delivery is as needed contract and able to use them to quickly bring the resources on board to design and move forward we on intersections this is going to be a useful team for the project sponsors streamlining the administrative process to be able to and the expertise we need to inclusive some of the projects and, of course, increase the staff abandon width and environmental clear them but allowing us to incubate those staff will deliver to move forward and i want to highlight a couple of things 6 contracts in front of you foral up to 9. $3 million total there is 6 contracts with two firms and we are going to have a local contract and f h w contract with each of them

allows us the flexibility to essentially receive the services irrespective with the federal services we have lbe and others ranging from 16 to 25 percent that is great but the 3 buckets of services first one is ceqa and au into the weeds we can use the - particularly for complete streets and last one is transportation data collection and analysis so just to give you an idea of the kind of prongs we'll use this one again example townsend street the consultants will help us analyze basically the traffic circle and recommend safety improvements and other examples is sf bart's planning they'll

assist and work closely with the communities for the prigs to more meters in the city and then bicycle corridor planning, of course, across corridors with powell we'll utilize the services so far a needs for review for stockton as part of this streamlining delivery i ask to you authorize this i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> >> board members questions or comments. >> motion to approve. >> second discussion? >> all in favor, say i. >> i. >> opposed? the i's have it. >> next speaker, please. >> 13 authorize for the contract amendment under the 632 with the flyers of america to exercise the option to purchase more trolley buses for the manuals and special tools for 55 thousand plus thousand dollars

with the performance of the vehicles and the feedback we've been getting is really happy with the performance so actually for this approval for this option one contract the delivery schedule will be 33 of them completed delivery by next year in 2017. >> obviously sfmta has has been working for the last few years to bring in more vehicles coming in the muni because actually, we tried to average down the age of the fleet and by doing so we increased and help to translate up to a cost focus maintenance program so i wanted to highlighted a few key items first of all, inventory since the trollies and also on the ohio brussel they're using the same chase i didn't it is the same so with that said our maintenance inventory it has

reduced it by 50 percent and then also i know nowadays a smart phone or smart tv i've been calling the vehicles as smart vehicles a computer system that collects the data from the vehicle and with that information maintenance can try to diagnose the problems faster and also, we, also prepare for better prevent maintenance plan since those now coaches are all new approaches not maintaining the trvp wheelchair lift i recall when i joined muni in the 90 it was the most costly for the labor and parts with the simple design the wheelchair ramp the public loves it i want to point out the slope is the

rational is one .5 degrees so basically the operations to make sure they deploy it onto a flat area one gentleman suggested and it brings that to 95 degrees also on the electrical labor door we're incorporating into the past we have been using the new doors it is very troublesome we're moving away to electronic doors we changed the interior let's to led so basically the typical will the for the led is 2 point puss many years more than likely we'll not replace the led this is one of the major last year around this timeframe we brought in the trolley 60 for

another the first system in muni so far the public loves it and like today, the weather the people will appreciate that more so besides the advantages transferring to a cost maintenance fiscal program we want to point out we can lock into a lower vehicle price all the vehicle are into the p ti and san francisco has been blessed we've been getting this blossoming and the homelessness o homelessness o population has increased it with new vehicles we can put them into service so far the daily demands and the future last but not least in about 6 months from today actually i'll be coming back representing transit and seeking for another approval for the 40 for another trolley procurements that's all i have thank you.

>> quite a bit this is great we are able to purchase overseeing new vehicles we've been here talking about the vehicles breaking down this is a really good i know i know there an awesome lost work any further discussion? >> move to approve. >> that's a second. >> all in favor, say i. >> i. >> opposed? the i's have it. thank you, mr. chang. >> actually want to point out i prepared it was mr. john haley i took his from there. >> thank you, mr. daily. >> this is to conduct a session. >> second >> all in favor, say i. >> i. >>all. >> announcements for closed session to discuss the landmark with no action and there was -

because of mental health disabilities and people sometimes misunderstood you guys have a lot of strength had you come into the community and do know why you're not picking up people off the street and people have certain civil rights i know i've heard from a lot of you a lot of compassionate and create strong relationships with them and care about that and obviously the one person in their lives who is this year to make sure they're getting adequate treatment and care a so i want to say that is what the public conservatives office does and great for dan to be here to recognize the team i want to say that one of the things that daniel brought in along what silva both of them have brought a sense of order to the office, i know that the staff around you, you guys

people count on you to make sure that things are filed and where they should be and also know you're trying to bring technology to the public conservative and sometimor and s a challenge- your not just about the public conservativors's - joined as a tip i thought this is obsolete and manages the main phone line and presents guarantees with a warm voice and arrived with cheer and a sense

of humor and brings in energy and enthusiasm one year he's transformed our files from a dinosaur age to the electronic age and undertaken soichlts with reforming all the court documents and is a valuable member of the conservators's office thank you, dan. >> (clapping.) >> on behalf of the department of aging & adult services my pleasure to present you with the award of employee of the month for june 2016. >> (clapping.) >> next item will be the

report the directors report. >> good morning commissioners so i guess the big news this week the budget the mayor released his budget and submitted to the board of supervisors and a lot of great things for the department of aging & adult services so i want to quickly go over those items and unfortunately, i'm reading that off any phone small prinlt you know that you approved a

budget we submitting to the mayor's office in february and has items that basically no cuts in the addition with positions for adult prospective services and other stray positions but not a lot of extra things in the budget lying enhancements for community services we were hoping that there will be a way to get those into our budget as well and the mayor certainly wanted to get some of those in one of the things the first thing i think that the community members have been asking for on our 5 year plan to include this this did portfolio that is the senior disabilities program he serve that has gotten transaction on the east coast i think and it is kind of a work subsidy program for older adults in our says adult disabilities

(2) 005-0000 a great start for us to wade into that world and try a pilot there so that's exciting and case management enhancements people in the community you've heard the case management in dos has been kind of not that funding has not kept up with the need for increases in salaries and the mayor recognized this is a program that has really not kept up even at the level of the some of the programs kept us u up to the case management programs have continued to lose staff and a decrease in quality the challenge of hiring people that you are bilingual has been greater than in the past so when we look at the workers we have in internally in department of aging & adult services or in the city and the salaries in the

community obviously don't keep up near where they should so people leave etc. so the mayor has put one hundred and 75 thousand so we can start the process of raising the salaries and hopefully with worker retention in the case management program the conservatory the department of health and the department of aging & adult services has started thinking how to streamline the conservatorship is he people are significantly in emergency and needs conservativelyship and people are living in the community and need the corn certificateship services we're trying to make that happy with dpw and others

so people slipping through the crack on the street and the recidivism pattern before and after within between the street and facilities we'll help them better there is positions in there and also upgrades for the current staff to be at the same level of the adult prospective services we're looking a clarification change there we also looking at a supported home pilot we're calling 2 that is something that supervisor eric mar and a number of advocates in the community and our community-based providers are trying out behaving because we know there is a need for in-home care for people that don't qualify for the - so there's obviously people with a lot of

money can a pay for their own home care but the middle-income or others in san francisco that can't afford it the budget and the legislative 234569 estimated first year thousand people to stay at home safely we're try a polite from the mayor's office put one million dollar in annually for the next two years to try this out and we're going to have some issues around prioritization who gets to serve but really to see if we can change some of the outcomes for people if they get that home care they'll go to a hospital fewer times and end up in nursing services and that's exciting to get to try that out for the different populations the dignity fund the mayor's

office has put a plug in for the dignity fund at a place for $6 million in year two which is 2016-2017 and year one prelims we need to staff up a little bit in the dignity fund passes we're lucky positions and consultant to get off the ground the mayor's office put in $6 million for 2017-2018 and the dignity fund legislation was introduced by supervisor cowen last week at 2 percent the property that will be more library $33 million in the firefighter to malia cohen's office the dignity fund coalition and i will be meeting to figure out a way to get closer so the mayor's office and the coalition and the board are

more in agreement about startup amounts and nutrition so one of the things you may remember that last year the board of supervisors had quite a bit of money into nutrition one time only money and generally speaking when the board does things one time the mayor didn't pickup and maybe not the way it was intended and in this case the mayor really wanted to put money into nutrition so $1.2 million - that's about half; right? so the mayor put in 1. $2 million of the 2. $4.01 time back into his budget and so that maintenance a lot of the services we started this year and enhanced this year and in

addition to that, the mayor has put in an ad back for the one time only housing subsidy amount we got last year that was $700,050,000 so that again was a one time add back with the board and the mayor elected to backfill that completely it is now in the baseline budget and i think just to give you detail about the nutrition so what that $1.2 million that the mayor has elected to backfill 9 lunch program with the chance program the routine i restaurant voucher program and home delivered groceries and home delivered meals yeah. those 3 things so it will help because we won't have to cut back on the services but not getting us quite there

i guess the last thing i wanted to mention the scattered site housing contract that was with with the department of health will be moving to the department of aging & adult services and the contract is now with the nonprofit provider called brilliant corners it is great we'll have if that and actually sit in the community fund and it is something that the community living fund is able to assess for a long time it is great so it seems like it is in effect i think that about it in terms of the enhancements from the mayor as you may know now the board has the budget and the board will be looking at other things we want to commend fund and maybe things they don't want to fund and asking us for a lot of details for the positions we got into the budget and

president some justification on those but looking at our vacant and all those things obviously they have interests in they're own district and interests in terms of the program oh, one other thing i didn't i neglected to mention the mayor put in a second deputy director for our department i'm personally excited but it is become really grown a lot a lot of work for one permanent to analyze so that's in our budget as well >> i think - the only thing i want to say two things one i was at the california's association of agencies our aging one of the things they're talking about this year is trying to enhance kind of the face of angling in california and there - we're going to be doing a media

campaign california wide to put a positive face on angling and everywhere i go i'm conscious and i'm sure you are as well we see so many negative images of aging how bad it is to get odd old and great reasons we should be paying attention to aging this year a number of us that are aging in this country and going to need services and going to have to support each i'm excited we're b be working and actually i'll be chairing the education committee it will be interesting to see what other people's takes and promoting the best practices if every community in california and get that out into the public and have a much stronger public presence i guess so that's exciting and then the last thing i wanted to mention on june 8th and i

think all of you gotten an invitation on june 8th we'll be celebrating world elderly abuse day in san francisco and our celebration will be at the herbst theater it starts at 4 and goes to 7 and paul henderson and from the mayor's office will be the master of the ceremonies and he's running for supreme court judge and very entertaining 0 it should be fun and then dave jones commissioner will be coming to speak in the beginning and talking about elderly abuse awareness i believe that still will be lit up in purple in awareness of elder abuse there is a lot going on and the senior at the adult and protective serves will be

there and people will come back by thank you that concludes my report. thank you. >> any questions. >> yes. >> wait. >> go ahead. >> commissioner sims. >> thank you the additional budget that was provided by the mayor's office this is one time only or ongoing is that will be ongoing funding. >> those are baseline items. >> okay. >> concerning the dignity fund do we have 6 supervisors. >> signed in? >> you know i'm actually not sure about that part this is a question for the dignity fund coalition i believe. >> so from the dignity fund passed the $32 million will be affected; right? in cases that it didn't pass the mayor will put in the one million dollars.

>> well, no i think what will happen the mayor's office and the coalition and the board are all working together to find a way to come to agreement about the legislation ultimately looks like we don't know it would be that it goes in that way and a different way. >> the 2 percent is in the subsidy. >> correct. >> okay commissioners did you have questions. >> anyone else? >> yeah. >> sherren you were talking about it in home support for the middle-income and one million dollars for two years. >> it is one million dollars for each of two years. >> for each of two years. >> right. >> a pilot project. >> right. >> what's the plan for dos to get this program off the ground

that's a great question we didn't found out until this week that will be in the mayor's office budget we have to look at setting it up to study it so we need to know the outcomes we will have what we'll do a subsidy program so is it not going to be you know we did try a piloted for people to qualify for in-home care services but had to pay something we didn't need to study is that will be a subsidy important people who either don't qualify or want to pay for one we'll bring back the stakeholder that kind of helped to put this together and work with the community living fund probably a mechanism we have in

place and decide how to prioritize people that is hard we'll not have enough money for 14 thousand people and don't know this is quite the right number we can probably serve to 50 people in a year and so we have to think carefully how what populations we want to look at it and learn and it will be something that will start as soon as we know that is getting to the budget and how much money we'll start those discussions soon. >> it's right around the corner. >> i'm aware we need to get going on that. >> thank you. >> any other questions commissioners you had a question from - >> come forward.

>> good morning commissioner president james and commissioners congratulations director ma fasten and welcome i appreciate this egypt for the recreation of the one time board of supervisors funding for your information commissioners when it came to that one time funding cuts we were notified in the senior center we'll be kit $77,000 that notification of cuts and again, we're grateful for this board of supervisors submitting that one time monies to support us but when you get notified $7,000 cuts that effects your nutrition program basically a cut for me this morning i wanted clarification

are in terms of the mayors budget i'm grateful that the mayor's office of budget will restore out of the 2. $4 million a one time money cuts to a 1.2 that means it, it is a partial funding and commissioners respective this is still a cut for us in the senior network as the executive director who is responsibly for that in terms of advocacy for the seniors we're talking about less meals so for us we're needing your support and the departments in terms of the recess central station we need full restored funding it talks to the need and programs for seniors in san francisco is a lot of dialogue going on and a lot of advocacy for different things in terms of for the

seniors in san francisco the dignity fund is one of the alternative transportation that is positive it is still far apart and needs to be negotiated i wanted everyone to please pay attention to that commissioner president james i know i have one minute and 31 seconds left i wanted to thank you for that emphasis and it is hard san francisco everybody knows it is going far we know about that but we need to participation to the seniors that built san francisco and we need san francisco need to respective our seniors in aging give them the dignity they deserve thank you very much. >> you wanted to comment on that. >> thanks steve yes. i think that all of the letters that went out about the nutrition cuts we should had to

know strong legislation was entered a week ago we know from the mayors budget he's on board for the support of dignity fund we're very, very far apart be in terms of the proposal we have the legislation we have and what the mayor is proposing at this point for us we'll be meeting with supervisors many of them have a asked for a ram up a reasonable way to get the money and plan and spend it we are talking about proposals with them but the mayor's office is $6 million is the biggest we've ever see in the forgive first year that is less than we've been getting through the community advocacy we've got a lot more work to do we have meeting with the mayor's office and plan for the future we have to plan for people with aging hiv and the people with

disabilities and 25 percent of the population thirty percent in 2030 we need to plan for veterans many fall out in terms of the services they get and agency the home care pilot a lot of seminars and people with disabilities that need help at home and barely holding on paying their bills when it comes time to stay in their home they need assistance but the dignity fund needs to continue after that. >> now we need to move on interrupted with the public comment but anyway, advisory council report. >> good morning commissioner president james and commissioners executive director mcfadden the advisory council meet on may 18th and the

in that funding since 1984 and while inflation has gown up one and 80 percent we have new business we discussed the fact that revenues are coming in slower than expected the amount of funding from the state level for programs making less than expected by combrsh is interested in a bundle of legislation what those delays we didn't discuss but keep on tracking this is the end of the two year at the beginning the session a brand new set of legislation to look at and there is discussion at the state level about allowing people that are on citizens advisory committee to have access to cal works and funding - to nutrition services currently they don't that's what

we're continuing to monitor a new piece of legislation that we discussed and that was disabled plaque card reform a piece of legislation by assembly person god ab 2602 currently the disabled placards allow for free parking meters throughout the state that was kind of gone pursuant to intentionally intended the city and county are losing money and concern over where their properly used or not so this bill will based the two tier solution a report from donald and others from 2015 their public policy analysts and bill will do away with free that concludes my remarks for people with placards and monitor the

way that placards are issued the cities and counties loss millions annually and no reimbursement and michigan and illinois have to r a two tier solution weigh look at that and san francisco advisory committee is supporting this bill and dos participated in that the advisory committee and looking at 6 recommendations would be for the city and increasing blue zones and improving the enrollment of that will be the order. issued and placard approvals and removing the exemption and establish reasonable time limits for the parking i wanted to give you an updated on two other bills obviously did

placard and many of the bills we've been monitoring such is ab 1584 on increases in the supplemental they've been in committee and in suspense that's the way the appropriations committee looks at they bundle them together and look like how to divvy up the funds. and there's one that is the senator louis sb 447 that is the aging and long term court reporting council referred to the committee on aging and long term care and the update on the dignity fund and at the federal level the credit for care act

2016 is in the was and means committee that allows up to 3 thousand per year deduction for long term care and then the bills on autism legislation senate bill there is no action on >> are there any questions. >> i know i talked fast. >> yes. i'm very much interested in the placard because it does allow for definition yeah. very much and getting around in san francisco. >> their not do away with the placards but. >> the two two tier. >> the two tier time limits of how this you can park for free or if they look at the meters and the sergeant of the meters so far payment some are not assessable for easy of payment so that's what their looking at

and establishing circumstances under which some whether that is on the placard itself with the presentation where some disabled and elderly would have access to free parking but not a broad free parking across the board two reports and i can send them to bridget to include in your minutes. >> yes. and because getting independence. >> it calls on the dpvm to track the placards and there is the the devil is in the details but all i'll send this to bridget. >> for the details okay. thank you. >> one comment it is shown a program they limit the plan for 4 hours for

medical. >> that's what their looking like. >> a lot of things we know about but i think for our it is quite - >> that's the timeframe they're talking about part of two tier solution. >> thank you. >> you're welcome. >> next is the long term care coordinating council. >> good morning, commissioners i'm ship a member of the long-term care council we met on may 12th the first presentation a needs sergeant that recommends 5 years for expanding the areas of service and strengthening existing programs and improving awareness and serving adult disabilities and in coalition

with other departments and a presentation for the middle-income study which the director's report contained as well i have nothing to add a discussion on meetings with supervisors and i believe that most of those meetings have occurred in the month of may we'll get a report back at the next meeting thursday june 9th and that's about it from my report any questions. >> you mentioned you study and recommend 5 areas for senior services okay name those 5 areas. >> i named them but i'll go over them more slowly the first expanding new areas of services this is for seniors and adult disabilities the second is strengthening the existing programs, the third is

improving awareness and messaging of task services the figure out serve adult disabilities more effectively and the first time is collaboration with other departments. >> would you put a dollar amount for those. >> no we have not this is mark farrell an assessment no budget analysis. >> you'll follow-up with those improvements. >> that's on the directors plate. >> any other questions. >> well we'd like to wait for the directors answer. >> thank you so sir, is really reporting on the long term kr0r7bd council so he basically heard the same presentation on the needs assessment in the area plan the specifically needs ascertainment we've heard from you commissioner ow so some of the

same recommendations when rose and i did the presentation is what he's referring to we'll devolve into those areas just pointing out things that are important for the department as we move forward and you know one of the things we hope to do is that in the future we will be able to attach dollars signs to various recommendations when we do the needs assessments and hopefully, we'll look at gaps we're not there yet but those are the recommendations he had when i was thinking about when i wanted to pay attention to going forward. >> imagine. >> staff report. >> well, i guess you can judge. >> we're all here.

>> but what do you expect we have a big rally a senior rally and in sacramento thousands of seniors and a model and chant was seniors count and they were here they'll have you all chanting that when you get a huge group of gray haired voter they are their associates saying seniors count they pay attention in sacramento so that's one good thing one thing that was nutrition georgia again was part of it throughout the last year when we had different representatives from state programs and departments talk to us come out nutrition was right up there on the top of their concerns and it came out ♪ good the concerns about

nutrition and programming for nutrition and amongst other things we'll keep the seniors healthy and independent what was covering all of this was that all over the state including us seen the percentage of seniors in the population has been increasing every year and will continue to increase in the future and that must be considered in the meantime when you look at the budget programs for seniors have been frozen and cut back and a few have been cut out so that financial backing is going down while the number of seniors is increasing so that is something we need to

consider as we look at things, of course, if we keep on increasing we might take over that was an interesting program and one thing that change you know working with the staff the state staff for the commission has been good i've enjoyed it their bright and kevin about us they organ well and follow-up on what they say but what i saw at that meeting the respective they have from the members of the government from people from different businesses and programs that were there you can, see they'll respective them and worked with them we're asking their advice and wanted to go together with them so what it means is if we're trying to

develop a program to get something through we have a fantastic resource in the staff from the state commission their generous and they care they really care about what we do and knowledgeable so seeing them interacting at the rally and let me see what a fantastic right away that concluded my report. >> thank you case. >> good morning, commissioners valerie i'm a board member of case and also the director of the senior center this time of year is busy for case our budget and advisory committee work hard to make sure

the mayor and board of supervisors are aware of our podium and at the same time, we're supporting the budgetus coalition podium as well as different security task force to today is news from director mcfadden what guarantee good news not over until the final budget is approved and continuing to meet with the board of supervisors which meetings have been set up during the senior rally we had in conjunction with the senior disabilities folks we hand-carried over 2 thousand pot cards to respective supervisors and mayor they're very aware of what we're asking for we also want to invite you all we're excited one of our member agencies institute on angling

has offered a continuing ed course at the next membership meeting i have handouts flyers i didn't get them out but one of the things that are happening at the senior centers the phenomena of bowling and it is something that we've seen over the years but it has become more acute and so we started looking for somebody to help us begin the conversation how to handle to preserve the safe and friendly environmentalist for everyone but handle those kind of individuals challenging to the senior centers we don't say a mental health component we may need to look at that in the future we 79 the senior center services is to be available for all people at times the acuteness is beyond

our staffing level abilities so this presentation and course that patrick from the harbor called how to identify and respond to challenging and bullying behaviors we're offering continuing ed for many progressives if you want i'll leave the flyers and free to our members and if our members are bringing other folks we'll to get a sense how many more foams o people might be there we'll be prepared we're excited it is the beginning of the conversation i'm getting more calls from my colleagues from the same issues and some of the people we're having problems with radio bouncing around from one senior center to another and we will to do the right thing but know what your limits are and other maybe

partners can do to help us what that that's the beginning and i think that our next membership meeting is june 13th at the groceries center and we're going to get started right on time so the people that are asking for continuing ed can meet their requirements but it operationally is an interesting session. >> any questions. >> yes. >> emily. >> yes. >> i'm just wondering where you folks nonprofit organizations have been tapping into the management services by the public health department and started to come you know once a week or month whatever and educate our staff also. >> we're looking at that commissioner i think that traditionally the older adult

individual is not open too much to going to clinics but we have a referral to the mental health services amend as you may know older adults have the right to fail and we make appropriate referrals refuse the services and go to the next center we're looking at training so we can handle situations more carefully and more mind fully. >> i'm just saying that you know has been come to your center center. >> we've tried if that and probably have to do a more official invite and get the higher-ups to support that but the department of health didn't send their professionals out to our centers we'll look at that. >> it will be for the seniors

it will be a non-threatening environment and maybe someone from the department of health. >> we'll look at that thank you. >> next this is we have some public comment but item t is there any general public comment at this time? hearing none, old business >> none new business okay. all i's require a vote item a supervise transfer of ownership the staff is melissa can i have a motion to discuss. >> so moved and seconded. >> good morning commissioner president james and director
