bringing this lease is an action item mmy next month, but the lease was not quite finalized. so wanted to go ahead and brief you on it this month. >> good afternoon richard betty treasure island development authority. today we are presenting an informational item concerning the new lease with the sep associates for proximate 10,000 ft.2 of unimproved land located on the north corner of the great lawn area for developing and operating a container restaurant facility. on may 29, 2015 the navy transferred all its property in your book going up island and portions of the property at treasure island to the authority. major phase 1 plan under the treasure island development project commenced really early 2016 which includes the construction of several structures on treasure island including building 183 which is the current location of the treasure island bar and

grill. over the past year tida that has been searching for an operator like to participate in relocation the restaurant facility by utilizing fabricated storage containers to create a new bar and grill type atmosphere located on the great lawn area. unfortunately, the current treasure island bar and grill operator decided not to locate the facility and as you guys are probably aware that john bar and grill the last nine years is been a valuable asset to treasure island both for residents, visitors, commercial tenants and island contractors. the north corner of the great lawn area is development phase project is not anticipated to be developed for several years. sep associates in current treasure island commercial tenant whose primary business is investment technology consulting and management express an interest in the project and teamed up with the second shaft of water bar and

steak restaurant whose has over 20 years of expensive and operating managing restaurants. sep is also partner the treasure island partnering up with treasure island development homeless development initiative and two works to provide training and job opportunities for this the subject sep is seeking a three year lease commencing november 1 2016 through december 31 2019. under the agreement, sep will be responsible for all startup expenses including designing purchasing and installing the container facility, kitchen buildout, and all other related furniture fixture and equipment including then sleeping as well. total cost of the project is anticipated to be approximately $450,000 on their end. the authority, on rn, will cover and provide utility connections for water and electrical and also providing a

portable restroom facility for the area for use not only for customers but also visitors that it can be hopefully planned to go into that sort of north area of the great lawn. the authority anticipates our expenses in regard to the utility commission approximately the $5000 and $2000 per month per bathroom rentals. under the authority's leasing policy, early entry is set for 31 days and with this at sep is requesting 181 days early and get primarily for consideration of their construction and startup costs. then, commencing shortly thereafter on may 1, 2017 sep will be paying $1500 per month which is consistent with the authorities interim subleasing for land that we have. with that i just want to go over some of their renderings we have with regard to the facility could this is one here that is the the overall layout.

this is what it sort of anticipated. dr. be exact replica but something similar with outlook cannot plan on doing. that's the inside. with that, i also want to bring up some of the folks that are participating it [inaudible] one of the principles would sep on outcome her, and share a few words and also cheryl williams is assisting as well. >> hello. thank you, rich. with me here is part of record is the executive chef for both water bar and epic state in san francisco and my name is-i'm one we are partners on this exciting project. some of you

know is through the membership of the club also where the companies that another company invested in also has offices on treasure island as well as some of the commercial properties here. also want to acknowledge the designs you see here is with a partnership with another treasure island resident commercial resident d1 architecture firm there's the one that helped us with the rendering the wonderful renderings you see. so, we are very excited. when we approach for this opportunity. when the exciting-when the most important things we believe is to be part of the community. the elements of the tiger restaurant will be fast casual for breakfast lunch and dinner 12 support the residence on the island as well as supporting construction as well as supporting the community. when we were in conversation with

sherry and her organization, we are even more excited because we do believe in community. i'm also the social media marketing manager for epic stake and one of i think the value that i believe that both rich and bob and sheri have brought to us was the fact that epic and water part you may or may not be aware that much about working with the community organizations like tied called the tida we have employees both at restaurants from the delancey street programs and in fact a 6x story one of the delancey street employees ashley came and joined our restaurant and she recently got married and had the owners of the restaurant go to a restaurant very successful successful. we believe in that. so when we were approached to partner with sherry and tida we are more excited because the fact that that continues on with the community support to philosophy and we hope were in the final stages of discussing how it will unfold but we

believe in working with certainly will work with two works but also we like to have proper training programs at a restaurant for tie-dye eight so they can expand their offerings for their employees and we appreciate sherry's willingness to work with us and allowing us to be that facility. the specifics, were still earning that out but we want to really think the board and bob beck and be tied up for working with vested allowing us to have this wonderful opportunity to be a part of treasure island. i do know there's anything you want to say? >>[laughing] let a woman handler >> sherry again. we are excited about this before the details we have to work out. as were looking at doing a training program on site and without looks like and resources to put that together and then i don't know if you're aware whenever members are mature works committee to the janitorial but i also have a café in dahlia: bake works.

there's some synergy there between their already training people with barriers to employment there at that café and so that we can bring some of that knowledge and expertise to a training program as well and in addition to the many different community partners that we work with in a job system that work with people with barriers from implement all over the city people that have expertise that we are excited about putting together a dynamic training program where the placement could actually even the late graduate, let's say, at this restaurant and then maybe work over at epic or water bar or other restaurants that to be a lunch for careers for a lot of different people. so we are excited about it. a lot of details to work out we feel like there's genuine interest in support and commitment to seeing something like this come to fruition. >> are there any other

comments? >> that's pretty much it. basically our plan is with your guys acceptance, would be the next board meeting to bring back the lease for approval. >> if i may say, it's wonderful idea because it's land that is available on a temporary basis until our construction actually begins. it's really utilization of land that otherwise would not be used productively. the idea of using containers as well as so innovative and we have seen containers being used in similar ways in haight valley and anoka and what a great idea to bring that to treasure island. so, thank you for doing that. do we have any other comments? >> thank you for your presentation. was really great.

question. so how soon do you think the work would begin after the lease is signed, number one?, mass. that first. >> sure. we are looking at the lease potentially commencing sometime in november. hopefully, the container would probably i think it is leadtime of about 4-6 weeks for the containers to be fabricated and then placed on site and shortly thereafter would probably i was a january-february is looking i wonder having this project commends at least be operational if you will because the treasure island bar and grill is looking at been slated for closure sometime in december. >> semantical few months without a restaurant out there? >> yes that's what were trying

to work through. were trying to hopefully have a seamless transition but we have not ironed out all those details just yet. >> okay kid on the container stuff, does the modular units come out. you said you have to build up the kitchen. you do that to build out on-site words that already done? be was is already done at another location brought over essentially freed prefabricated if you will. >> same with the bathroom? >> after might be a little different. when not sure about the bathroom yet. the bathroom we may rent that from a local vendor review. but we have not ironed out that sort of detail just yet. >> it is limited construction everything up it just hooked up, think >> it. just overcooked think it would look at having dpw and puc both would be responsible for linda connections and the

plumbing electrical work needed. >> i just need to voice my opinion like i have the password was of these types of things. bringing in prefabricated modular units does the city no good. it doesn't just overbilling wage paid. it's been done cheaper somewhere else by somebody else. there's no local higher. all those wolves and regulations everybody else follows goes out the window. so, i would appreciate it if everybody would kind of listen to that change their views on prefabricated modular things coming on the island in the future could be a prevailing wage laws out there now that should be followed and like i said, this card those laws by doing this. this could be electrical and plumbing codes and everything else by doing it elsewhere and bringing it in. it makes it less safe for people that are out there. things are not up to code. so, i disagree with the way they're doing it. >> ms. richardson

>> i think one of the strongest points for me considering this is the partnership the treasure island homeless initiative and includes to me, now, you are going to the next stage i've actually been involved in job training and so this is very wonderful. i do understand that we do sometimes given the reality of treasure island that we do need to seek temporary containers or wherever because this facilities and that can be allowed to of climbing structures. so, to do a transition that three audi we have to go by. in order to do what we want to do if we want to keep folks out there and so we can work that out. later on, we will see with the agreement is. i like to see the agreement between what spells out what

tight i is going to be getting but i think it's very wonderful and i really support this and again doing outreach to the mainland and some of these other disadvantaged kids. you can take advantage of this program and graduate from them they can work at the hotel. nothings cannot stop them so i would definitely make a motion to approve this resolution. >> is just informational. >> it just informational only. sorry. you will bring this back. >> i was just want to ask this is a temporary use of the site. it's not a home >> exactly temporary >> it's really going to just to utilize because the spaces the other work that were doing on the structure on the island. so, for me, that is the reason why these container facilities to make sense because by the very temporary ttemporary

nature and yet it provides a service to the island and provides job training for kids as well. >> if i may to, and to that, i realize it's temporary but you have people from tie-dyed, pugh from jaco are out there that deserve to be on the sites learning plumbing, electrical carpentry stuff like that. it's skirting that. really, if it's temporary for a few months, bernie bent i get it but it's three years and we made when due at for three more were six more. who knows? dependent construction jobs i've seen of you thinking zero happen under certain timeline and it never happens. so, temporary is it maybe it's being done somewhere else by people who may or may not be qualified to do the work and the city residents are losing out doing the jobs

especially job corps should be learning their trade they want to go into. it's a good opportunity for them that they're missing out on. >> mr. beck you have comments? >> no. i just want to with the bar and grill closing the oasis will be reopening. avenue operator that we coming into the oasis, but one of the things we really appreciate from the operator is stepping in in this kind of uncertain. period over in transition on the island to provide a service to the community and i fully appreciate director mazzola's concerns about prevailing wage in the contracting issues and one of the opportunities the modular zoo also provided though as we move forward in the construction that this is a facility we may pick up and move again to get a different location. when the current

location is impacted by construction. so, it does come in this instance, perhaps offer some mitigating advantages, but i do hear you and appreciate that and will keep your concerns in mind >> insane that, if i may, i've seen module is come out there and then there piped up electrical spike in after they can still be moved at that point. so what would stop us from having it built here under prevailing wage laws and local higher laws is on zane? >> thank you for those comments. other members of the public i would like to comment? >> director mazzola we want to respect that and so be open to considering it. part of the limitation was because of the temporary nature as we hope should be fortunate to move or

go to permanent location we definitely want to respect those rules. >> i appreciate that >> a quick question. when are you bringing this list of back to the treasure island? >> the following commission meeting in october. it's the 12th or- >> thank you, sir >> this item is not an action item item nearly information. so, that concludes this item. next he was item number 10 discussion of future agenda items by directors >> to the directors have any? none? we will adjourn. thank you very much for coming today. thank you, all.

>> thank you everybody for coming to frick academy today and welcome. before we start the rest the speaking program i want to acknowledge elected afilthss with us today. first [inaudible] rob bonta who represents us in the california state legislature. [applause] if you are a oakland council member please stand. [applause] school board member please stand. [applause] and next our friend from san francisco, i know you have stuff on the

bridge on the way over but welcome. sfusd school board members, please stand. [applause] now it is my pleasure to wem come to the pedium san francisco mayor, ed lee. [applause] >> gladiators! alright! thank you very much for inviting me to join your administration here and students. how is everybody today? welcome back >> student school. little late but bebeening of school time and didn't think you know you would have friends from san francisco visiting here. glad

to be here and school board members to join. elected officials to joun your elected officials. when i see and look around and see the people i can stand with, wow, it is amazing. you know that congresswoman barbara lee? she is my sister! she my sister! we belong to the same family association. that's right. all of us in elected office generally speaking i think there are moments in our time when we are struggling with a lot of decisions we have to make, but those moments where collaboration of many groups of people whether they are resident, parents, school board members, principles, teachers,

advocates and kids, we all come together and make a decision together about what is good and when we make a decision that involves our business community, those are great moments. and today, is one of those great moments because we get to share with you something that we have been doing in the city of san francisco about 3 years. we got to work-first of all, if you know one of our companies in san francisco called sales force one of the most successful technology comps companies in the city and whole region. yes, world wide. they do something in the clouds. about 4 years ago, mark [inaudible] sat down with me and asked me a question that i will never ever forget. you ever have those times where people ask a question and say i didn't know they cared that much. he asked me what do i

really want to do, not what i'm obligated to do and having to do every day. fill pot holes and headache sure people are safe and make sure people get jobs and housing. what do you really want to do. in that couple hours conversation in his house and joined by lynn [inaudible] because she is a big heart in san francisco. thank you lynn. he asks me what do you really want to do and i got me to thinking, i got a good education growing up and people helped me along to get me a very good solid foundation in education, i think that when youth and families succeed in our cities, our cities succeed. talking about both oakland and san francisco. we began on the path of what really was important to me and i think the

best education publicly that we can provide for our kids and familys is the think thing i want to get and really most important. in that conversation, we identified and got in with school board member hide rumendoza and others to talk. hid ruis here and is my liaiz on through the school. board. richard [inaudible] our super intendant who is wide open with ideas how to help our schools and look at data and said, schools like yours today right here, frick impact academy, middle schools is where we were most challenged so we began the middle school initiative and had the conversation and made investment, 4th year, 3 years later we got millions of dollars invested but much

morethen am money is the collaboration with the principles because i want them to not have to reach into their own pockets. three years ago no middle school in san francisco was wifi. can you believe that? we had to correct that. we had to get tablets and training stof the teachers and had to do it in a way where the teachers said, mayor lee recollect what are you doing? you are not trying to take over the schools are you? no, i'm trying to help the kids and families in our schools and the only way i can see forward in how to do it in the claberate thing is to say, what would bring each teacher and principle back to their very first year they decided to go into public education. because there are other

reasons not to and sometimes those reasons pop up every day. too challenging and people not paying attention and the state and cutting luft and right. if we listen to every principle and all the teachers in the middle school tell us what they needed to be successful help the kids advance and list toon the super intentdant what the data is telling us. math and science. by the way, the jobs just a few years athround corner, depend you have a better stem education. science, technology, engineering, math. so, all of that catalyst comes and 4 years later our 8 graders are performing the bestz and the urban school district is the best. our middle grade teachers and principles are at

the top of the their feeling and they feel it. they feel it. [applause]. this is something we got to share with oakland. because if oakland succeeds san francisco succeeds tooment it happens both ways. we are not a island in the city, we are a regional partnership. barbara knows thatd, congresswoman lee knows that. we as elected officials know that. this investment is more than the money, it is about believing in our kids and as i share with your mayor, because what companies like sales force want to really do is be more than just a successful company, they want to be partners with government. partners with parents. partners with other companies. partners with the school district because we want to not find our talent, we want to grow our talent. and your

growing as a talent we'll recruit from each and all of you, you will be talent i'm looking for. we are look frg a police chief, a fire chief, a department head or ceo, or any of the great jobs that you can think of, you're the talent pool we want to invest in and you're our investment. i want to say that is how we approached this middle grades initiative that now today we get to wonderfully share with the city of oakland and want to take the opportunity to introduce you to your own mayor, someone who is tremendous colleague of mine and inspired me in san francisco to do better and that is of course, mayor libby schaaf. [applause]

>> oh, wow! now, i am so proud to be the mayor of my home town, oakland california! and in honor of sales force, we did something in oakland we don't usually do, we ordered clouds. get it? cloud computing. joke. [laughter] mayor lee brought his weather with him from san francisco. seriously, i'm so excited to be the mayor of your city, of your city. frick students. let me talk in very clear specifics about what is happening today because i want you all to remember this day. sales force is supporting the san francisco public

schools for 3 years now. this is their 4th year. but this is the first year, the first year they have brought that support to oakland as well. [applause] when i say support, do you all like money over here, young people? [cheers] when i say support, i'm talking about 2 and $2 and a half million 2 and $2 and a half million. [applause] and i just want to recognize that is on top of some personal support that mark and lynn have been generously giving to this community and particularly its children. i want to recognize the head of our incredible ucsf childrens hospital in oakland burt lubeen

is in the house and also the generous gift to the brilliant baby strategy of the oakland [inaudible] i will talk about in a second. what has the $2.5 million done it allowed us to reach 4 times as many public school student with computer science instruction. it is allowing us to bring this very innovative program called, blue print that will be give small group instruction to bust out your math skills. anyone have mad love for math over here? [applause] i love people that have smart at math. it will also give mrs. ruby who i heard made a big impression at mark's house when you came, it kill give her a innovation fund. because she is innovative and

we trust her to just do great things with it. i want to be clear, this level of support is not just for frick, it is also going to benefit brett heart middle school, life academy and colosseum college prep academy in oakland. [applause] the last thing that this investment is doing is opening our first oakland promise middle school fuch were centers. [applause] i have here two of our fabulous ambassadors for the oakland promise, valen tina and cynthia adams from naacp. the oakland promise-i want you to know about this because you are the first been fish areas of this.

we know this will triple the number of oakland student who graduate from college prepared for the career of your dream jz don't do this like other programs programs like a college scholarship. we create a college bound culture from the moment you are born. from had moment you start kindergarten. we will give college savings accounts at the earliest years but we need to touch young people at critical moment of lives to tell them we expect you to finish high school and to finish college. we are here to put our money where our mouths are and say, we will provide you with the resources to do that, with the skills to do that. your whole community is behind your achievement here in oakland.

[applause] so i want you to know this man right here, he created a great company but he knew it was important to give back and so because of his sales force, not only are we quadrooping the number of students getting computer science instruction we up the mact sfruckz and opening our first fuper centers in the middle school frz oakland promise. these are career and college hubs where student get to tour colleges and find out about thaur options. why you need to stay and do well in school because of the fantastic future that is in front of you. alright. now, i also just want to recognize that this is part of a new regionalism movement. now, i want you to remember this day not because of $2.5 million, you need to

also remember it because more valuable than the $2.5 million hch what is more valable than money? love is more valuable than money and more valuable than $2.5 million is sales force employ ease will give you 20 thousand hours of volunteer time. [applause] nothing is more valuable than that. i want to give a quick shout to the oakland police department mentors who are meantering in this school. that is love. i want to give a shout out to one of your most distinshuished alumni, a tony, tony, tony fan, mr. dewayne wigans the house and graduate of frick. if there is one thing to remember

we can accomplish great things when we work together so you heard mayor ed lee talk about how well we work toorkt, this is regionalism. sale force recognizes we can't just help oakland. this is a incredible region you live in. there are the amazing career opportunity in the world right here. he isn't just taking care the city where his company is, he knows oakland is part of his home too so you are part of oakland and bay area region and somebody who is a incredible cus toneian and leader in the region, she speaks for me and that is fabulous congresswoman, barbara lee. thank you.

[applause]. and so as we are planning this, it has been a pleasure to have these great principles of oakland like dee tie and all the great principles of san francisco coming together, sharing best practices and saying we can work together to create better schools and that is what this is all about. so, it is another step on the journey that is what is exciting and think everyone add soles force knows how committed we are and this program is very successful. the test scores in san francisco are up, attendance rates are up, am idal schools are stronger than ever and that is what weit is all about and do the same in oakland and we are deeply committed to all of you and deeply grateful to everyone who came. thank you for being here and can't be more excited to take the great next step for all these great schools. thank you. [applause]

>> thank you mr. been off, mark, thank you for your commitment. my name is [inaudible] serve as super intendant of san francisco unified. superinant [inaudible] i was making sure you are paying attention. just making sure. we don't have a rap for you. check out this rap, so 3 years ago, this industry leader came to us and said, we are going to tell you what you are going do and give you funding for it. what he did is went to the principles and our mayor and to super intendant and sat and said what do you want to do. the outcome is you have to be the best school district in theination what does it take to get there and it was a conversation that developed and we are so forninate that we now in year 4

of our relationship and partnership with sales force and by a long shot, one the best parts of that relationship is our sales force employees that spend time in the schools and classrooms. all of the students here today, and i want you to listen to this for a minute. when the going gets tough and you think why am i in school i want you to look at super intendant wilson. i want you to look at super intend of san francisco because i look like some of you. [speaking spanish] i didn't speak english either and now we get to do this thing be super intend squnts educators. look at your mayor who didn't grow up in a silver spoon and community advocate and congresswoman. we want you to to center what we

didn't have. i have one more day on the job so i can say this, what mr. ben off and sale force is doing is change california education because until the state ofical considers public education as a investment rather than a expense, think about that, rather than a expense we have to do but think of public education in the investment in the future workforce and technology of our great state, until they do that and think about that you will have luminaries like mark ben off and others that say we get the bigger picture. by our very very humble investment we will allow you-let me tell you what happened in san francisco, we developed a pre-k 12 computer [inaudible] you will hear talking about kindergarten

code, we want computer science because that is who mr. ben off will hire. computer scientist who can apply the math and science. we reduced class sizes and bring parents together and able to createi labs, the principles who is leading a revolution in a middle school, the namesake of which gets me shokeed up, martin luther king middle school principle michael [inaudible] they pooled their money in in the private industly you can be innovative and some work and some don't work. in public education because hof the scrutiny and accountability for the public dollar we don't get to try thing jz say they won't work. bhaut this investment has done is given the principles and community the tublt try stuff

out and when they tried stuff out lots worked. the innovation lab and maker spaces and pooling the money and creating welcome centers. creating classes student can take internship jz go into the workforce and see i can do this work too. i 92 ed to apply myself in school. that is the game changer for us and here to tell you my brother jz sister in oakland, there is no way we can be successful in san francisco if you are not absolutely hitting it out of the park in oakland. we are with you and we already collaborated on our common core math implementation and doing things better, we are diagnose things different and where across the state of california people say what are the people in oakland and san francisco doing with math instruction. we have the proof that it is actually teaching kids at a higher deeper level so take that.

faster. we need to do more which means prur sue every opportunity and this is making sure student have access to the best that is available. it is really exciting to hear mark say we want to make sure there is among the best districts in the wrurld because that is exactly what we need if we provide young people with the opportunity to be successful. i want to appreciate the school leaders because after my conversation with mark he asked to speak to school leaders and i knew when he met the school leaders he would see this is a place to invest and leaders and talented and believe in the young people. they are also leading a group of teachers, educations and want to appreciate the teachers. both for your rapping skills [applause] and also what you do every day coming in and making a difference for your young

[applause] what

this investment will do is help accelerate that number because investment in middle schools. this year middle school 621 student enrolled in computer science, 4 times the number of last year so excited about tha. that will allow the investment in the schools to accelerate the work and we want the outcomes sf has seen. increased graduation and achievement and see the student graduate and go to college so take advantage of the center up stairs and the tutoring here and to help you tutoring model it says the tutoring parents pay for we want to provide in the school day and that is what had is happening in at frick. as i close i want to say this, if we are successful and take the vest ment in young people. investment of time and dollars. it takes individuals willing to say i will do more and i will get involved. what i

that needs assessment really because we are what's called the aaa. were the area agency on aging and the federal designation that we have. federal and state designation. so, we are required as part of that designation to do-to look at the senior population every four years and then kind of plan accordingly around what we find. so we look at demographics. all of that stuff. one of the things that we do know in our plan when we do the needs assessment is we also include a look at adults with disabilities week because we serve people 18 and older, we look at, take a look at the overall population of adults with disabilities and then we look at adults were 60 plus. sometimes those things are different and sometimes the same. i want to just talk to you a little bit about some of the needs assessment could finance we had about because i think san francisco there gets relevant to what you're talking about obviously, but hope six plane house we decide how to

focus our funding how to focus our advocacy efforts or work with advocacy groups around things and also, how a lot of our community groups focus themselves and organize themselves the population size . in i just want to point out this is like census data basically. the census asked people to identify if they have difficulty in key areas such as bathing or dressing, walking were connoisseurs are making decisions are concentrating. there's some data from that and there some data from other sources that we gathered and we have a really good planning team and they pulled all the information they came together but of course, it's not always don't always have as accurate data as we would like. i'm sure we may be under representing when certain areas or whatever but we use this as a planning tool for us. about 87,000 adults

age 18 and older in san francisco report disabilities. it's about 11% of the city's population. most of the group is seniors, age 60, plus good about 52,000 people of that overall number are 60, plus. there are about 35,000 adults between 18 and 59 that report disabilities. so, just separating out the 60, plus population, those 52,000 people , they represent about a third of the overall senior population. so it's a pretty sizable number of the overall 60, plus population. most commonly, that particular group reports the following. they report, if they report a disability they are saying basically, there generally is a ambulatory difficult. walking or climbing stairs is reported about about 21% of the population. independent living which is defined by the census specifically as difficulty

doing errands alone due to a physical or mental or emotional condition. it's reported about 80% of that senior group. self-care and hearing difficulties are reported by about 11%, of the 60+ population. disability rates increase significantly with age in the which is probably not surprising to anyone. among younger seniors, which i know is not a great term, age 60-64 the disability rate is about 20% self-reported disability rate. among older seniors, age 85, plus it's about 74%. so, then, there's disparities and distilled rates like key demographic factors. gender, although women tend to have higher life expectancy than men, in general, they are also more likely to experience disability in older age

compared to men. this disparities especially apparent is seniors reach old age could 62% of female seniors 85, plus, report independent living difficulty compared to 42% of men in that same age group. ethnicity about one third of san francisco seniors report disability. however the disco the rate is much higher among african american and that tino seniors. perhaps of african american seniors to dq, plus and 36% of latinos seniors report disabilities. so again that's all from the census data and we did very much think about doing a deeper dive and looking at some of the kind of why some of these things are the way they are and think about funding but i want to give you an overall idea of some of the things we looked at. adults with disabilities, 18-59, -35,000 adults like i said before, it's about 6% of the total population of city adults. the most commonly reported types of disability in this group are cognitive difficulties. that's reported

by about half the group that self-reported. inventory difficulties reported by about 39% of the population of that group and then independent living difficulty reported by 36%. again, i say the word difficulty, and this is how the census is using this, so i just want make sure that is clear. that's how it's put in there unfortunately. then, demographic gender mostly male i'm a 50% of that 18-59% population is male and ethnicity, most commonly, white. 36% of the population. although, i minorities are overrepresented among those with disabilities in particular, african-americans are 17% of adults with disabilities in that age group which is 5% of the overall adult population. latinos are 20% at 50% of the overall adult

population. then, white and asian-pacific islander adults are very much underrepresented among males with disabilities compared to the overall numbers in the larger population of adults. so, that's just information that we then use to figure out how do we best serve people. one of the other things we know about this population is that-and this is the senior population, two. the senior population and the adult with disabilities age 18-59, tend to be lower income than the general population for ever idea reasons and they also are very likely to live alone as our older adults. compared with a regular-the larger population of adults. so, thinking about things like isolation and what that does to people and think about things about what to people with disabilities need

if they don't have the money to get the things they need? how do we plan for that? how do we think about that? i come here to a few times and talked about all of the things we do in dos i don't want to do that again. but i do want to talk about a couple different things that were focusing on right now. really, to kind of better serve the population of adults with disabilities. i think the first thing is really thinking about employment and so, we kind of made this little foray into employment service at good it certainly not what we do by ourselves am a but we know that when we-woodworking about employment at aging and adult services working about employment specifically the dolls disabilities and older adult. that little bit of a different book than say what-i forget i'm sorry it's an academic i can remember what it stands for the workforce development or our own human services agency workforce

development program which is really focused on the medicaid that account population. so birth really think about what do seniors need for-they only full-time employment made. they need the part-time employment. they may need different things. whether they have a disability or not i might need to get younger adults with this book as many different support. so, we are really starting to look at that and i think it something that at least for me is the new director in that apartment, it's part of my vision over the next five years is to figure out how do we provide more and more supports. one of the things were doing this here that's very exciting is mayor lee put in his budget program money for a program called reserved. we serve is essentially program that's been used to provide older adults employment in places like new york and boston and other cities. were going to be watching it in san francisco but our focus is not just going to be older adult could it would be older adults and adults with disabilities it's basically, a program where we

will contract with a nonprofit organization will go out and build relationships with potential employers did the program tends to focus on nonprofit employment in government employment. for some reason. i'm not exactly sure why the model has not gone out. why it has not worked or created relationships with business. there may be a reason., but that is how it was set up and so we can kind of look at that and see that something we want to do a kind of extended beyond what the way it's been done before. but, creating those relationships, finding if there are good job, i guess, jobs where people can go and get training but also offer their expertise. then, there is a the caret is there so little bit of a subsidy to bring that person in and we hope that after a while, that

employer will keep that in cooley on as a regular employee. so, were excited to get out launched and will be doing a request for proposal for that in the next couple of months. the other thing that we recently did, and i think it is-i was excited about because i think it fits better in dos, we took over the contract with the art for supplemental waste services and recycling services, which is a service that art clients do. we took that over from the department of human services and i was under the part of aging and adult services that is a good fit for us because it's something as we start think about employment, they fit really well together and we can then take that and learn from that and ranch out. try to figure out what other programs fit really well into that. so, we will be looking to work with the community and stakeholders to figure out as more funding comes down, then, are there

ways we can kind of bolster those programs are at to those programs or add new programs that are going to better serve the community. the other program that i want to touch on is a pilot, and mayor lee and the board of supervisors mike together, put in money for program that we are going to port it home. it's very much a pilot. if you think about in-home support services, in san francisco, we have 22,000 in-home supportive services clients. right? we have 19,000 providers. it's a huge program right. it's $180 million. so, that's just the part that's in the dos budget. it's huge. we got i think it's about 1.5 or $1.7 million for each of two years to really look at, is there a way that home care can

help a different population? a population of people who don't maybe you don't qualify for in-home support services but who could probably use home care is a way of helping them stay at home or having him state employed. we know when supervisor mar had a hearing a number of months ago, and people came forward and talked about their challenges, i guess they kind of fall into different buckets but one of the challenges that we heard was people needing homecare and going to work and having to spend half their paycheck on their home care. so, that's one population that we want to look at. the other population is really older adults who may not need as much. they might have super conflict medical needs but they may need some hours homecare to release days safe at home and we think that can keep them from ending up in hospital or needing more expensive care and also care that they should i need it have

the right amount of homecare. it's really exciting to launch this. we are really grappling with what it's when to look like bigots not a huge amount of money. so, we are talking about a pretty small numbers to study. we are talking about 50 people, maybe or it small. it's very small. but it should really inform us, and again, if we get really good data from this in really good lessons learned from this, then, in a year or two in a couple of years, with this pilot is over, we can go back to funding sources, whatever they be. in may not be the city. it may be other funding sources come up [inaudible] they want to see why that makes sense for us to pay for that because were not going to see the expenses on the other end that are much higher. because that's usually how payers think it it's not like they think about just the goodness of the well-being of the person, but thinking about where we could go with that. so, i think those are two new things we are doing. i'm very excited about. i know i don't

have a huge amount of time but i want to talk a little bit about another process that we are doing called aging and disability friendly san francisco. so, one of the things that-there's a concept called age friendly cities and it was put out by the world health organization, and there is a way that cities can apply to the world world health organization to say that they're interested in becoming a age friendly city and they can take-they can go through a number of steps and get a designation as an age friendly city. so, in san francisco we got a number of years ago there was a group of-there was a workgroup long-term coordinating council thought this is a great idea. we need

to have we need to be an age friendly city. not only do we need to be an age friendly city, we need to be in age and disability friendly city. so, mayor lee apply for-we applied to the world health organization to kind of start this process. we had a workgroup that some great work for a couple of years, we started thinking maybe it would be nice to speed this up a little bit and make it a bit of a formal process so that we can get department heads and we can get business leaders and we can get nonprofit leaders together to kind of like, one, assess our sons of the city with perspective disabilities and aging, and the other is to make recommendations on where we can improve. so, we are going to be launching this task force in the task force is going to meet for less than a year and are grabbed very specific meetings on very different areas that we need to focus on and they're going to come up with a plan that we can start implements a

good kelly dearman, who is there is then a talk to you later is actually one of the cochairs of that group which we are excited about. so, kelly and annika chaudry who works in the mayor's office argument cochair it and were still working out the rest of the membership but basically, the city, it is business leaders. nonprofit leaders and consumers will sit on that task force and as all of our meetings are, they will also be open to the public so people can come in specific meetings or specific topics they are interested in and we will also be doing a lot of stakeholder engagement during this year. i think really, this whole plan is about a lot of it is about the built environment and so we are always worried about that. think about that and how can we do better. i know the mayor's office on disability does a

whole lot of work around that. something you will be very interested in how this walls out and will be a part of it. i think it's also about thinking just every zero time we do a big plan in the city, thinking about doing things with an aging disability friendly lands which we should be doing because it for think about it, that means it's friendly for outing is friendly for children. it's friendly for people whatever a disability. people who have ongoing disabilities. people with chronic illness. people who don't have any of those things. it's like it's really about being inclusive and thinking about community as a whole and it's exciting to me because i also think it starts to help us get rid of some of the isms we often appeared able as him, ageism, those things. i think it's a fantastic framework especially for me as a new

director and it's a fantastic thing to be able to talk about. these are things we need to convert and this is one way to help develop a framework around that. so, we will be coming-i mean i or somebody else be happy to come back and talk to you about that,, but hopefully, not hopefully. there will be you guys will be involved in some way and probably in many ways. so, you might just be coming back and reporting on your own. i want to-i just want to throw that out there and say i'm excited were going to get this-there has been a lot of great work done but were really can move forward with developing a plan. so, i think that is all unless anybody had specific questions for me? >> thank you. i'm an open the questions up to the counselor. cochairman supanich >> thank you for your presentation at you mentioned ageism at the end of your talk. specifically around employment services. ageism is rampant and people look at anyone with a

wide space and figure they can't they're washed up. too old to do the job. will you have specific programs reaching out and to combat that? also, the issue of underemployment for people with disabilities is big. we know that there are several factors contribute into that, but one is the restrictive income requirement. if you get social security disability you can only make the minimum of the money. without losing their benefits and eventually losing medicare. but there's other reasons, too. discrimination and inability for people to be accommodated in the workplace. refusal to accommodate people in the workplace. so, those are two issues i just want to make sure are on your mind and have you specifically thought about strategies for them? >> yes. we had talked about

that now so i don't know if i can answer that completely, but those are two things that we are certainly think about and we have also gathered some information about those and what other cities are done around some of those things. it's-i think a lot of it is about-this white talk about changing the framework because i think the average person doesn't think about these things. right. we don't want to talk about aging. nobody-we have this thing about not wanting to talk about being afraid of it. we need to really change that. i think we do the same thing with people disabilities. we don't want to think about it unless, as i think everyone here knows, most people don't have a disability at some point in their life. at some point whether temporary, whether it's ongoing, whatever. so, there is a tagline that the state is using this as aging is all about living. it's a the same with disabilities. so,

it's about life and how do we get to that. i mean that's not answering your question specifically, good but the reason i'm saying that way is because is very very very hard to make a case for each dissemination in employment. it's very hard to do with disabilities. so, i think yes, we are talking about that in ways that we can partner with organizations that are open to ringing people in because of their expertise and we are also wanting to have this bigger conversation as a city about how we talk about aging and how we talk about disabilities. he was the thanks >> >> thank you >> thank you so much for being here. i'll [inaudible] important mission finding meaningful and impactful work for older adults with disabilities. i'm really interested in this reserve program. also sort of what is the general age range of individuals who are interested in our good i think chip made

an interesting point about the challenges around income maintaining a certain level of income, to have access to resources. stuart do you address that in any way were additional benefits? then, i also want to mention-i don't know if you're aware-in terms of home care resources i note you are city office on aging has on sharing program which allows older adults to age in place and it allows for an individual may be of lower income to come and assist in some of those home care responsibilities. just a thought. something i saw worked very well there. but, yes, in general i'd love to hear your thoughts, and also i love to note if you plan to work towards opening up towards the corporate world. i work in the corporate world. something that's interesting interesting to me is the reserve program. i'd love to hear your thoughts on that. >> sure. i think were still figuring out how-i mean the

people who advocated for that reserve program are really thing about older adults. think about ageism in the workplace. think about part-time employment because people may need can work full-time because of their benefits and so it's very similar to what a lot of younger people with disabilities are doing with if they [inaudible] can make certain amount. i think there are ways that we can try out because i think again, this is not a pilot. his ongoing money but it is in time it's not a huge amount. so i am guessing at some point we are going to-this can be a way to expand that that we find it's working really well. we'll be asking ourselves those questions like how do we continue serving a larger population. how do we serve people with different needs? the home share program. san francisco just launched a home share program and it was supervisor tang and it was really supervisor tang's

advocacy that got it going but supervisor tang and the mayors office, and mayors office on housing in this case, is administering this program. it's exactly what you're talking about. so, it's people with homes with space in their homes can rent to somebody else if they have an excerpt room or whatever, and they can-the people who are renting will pay but there is a way to exchange for services. so, is written into get it might even be a good idea for you to have somebody from the mayors office of housing or their contracting with episcopal senior service senior community episcopal senior community in northern california presbyterian health services for the program. so, it may be a good idea for you to have, if you want to have somebody come present on that. >> thank you >> they just launched last

month. so they're just getting off the ground. this is the issue. they modeled it on one of that's been done in san mateo for a while called, i think it's called hip. of course, there are more people seeking housing than there are people seeking people to live in houston. so that's going to be an ongoing issue, but if it's successful, even for a few people, it provides housing stability. >> absolutely. thank you >> thank you. i don't have a question. i pretty much have a comments. when you are talking about this employment program and it was brought up about accommodation and discriminations for older adults with disabilities, one of the things we discussed is how and when to disclose to employer with regards to

reasonable accommodation that can be uncomfortable. back and tie into the discrimination because, i'm not saying for all employers, but some you might be a hardship or burdened cost association that may contribute to that factor. so, itin this program also a clients are going through this is there to be training on how to interact with employer when you disclose what they may need around the accommodation? >> that's a great idea. take that back. i'm hoping that it is but if it isn't all make sure that we discuss it. that's a really good point. >> okay. i know you talk about older adults but i'm sure people would still want to, especially talking about a corporate environment whatever their age aye will climb up the ladder. how can they do that if they have the skill set and can do the essential functions, how they can move on to different

positions or higher positions if a qualified and not just a entry level. >> thank you >> i'm also curious to know if there's resources or support from individuals for forced early retirement with their current employers and the transition into part-time or some sort of a transition into another role? >> yes. i think again, that's a small amount of money. were to try something we need to have a bigger conversation about it. i think your points are all good. excellent. i think we need to think about if this works were able to start this with the next step. what questions what expertise do we need to be able to negotiate well with employers potential employers and how to help educate them around some of these things. i would say that's probably the next step were excited to get the money to get started and it's new for

us. and i think will make sure that when we when we think about for future programs expansion that will find a way to bring in community to start talking about that because we don't want to create those things in a vacuum at all. >> sounds like we are moving in the right direction. thank you i like to open up to public comment. anybody like to come up? i'm going to quest if you have any questions for the presenters to talk to them at break time or whatever. excuse me for that. staff them at you have any questions? >> just a quick question and comment and charlene, thank you for staying because i know your time schedule and kelly is waiting but you mentioned the

assessment earlier. how do you go about doing outreach for the assessment? other people you find this? are they of a certain demographic? are they in a certain neighborhood? one of the things we talk about in a couple our communities is that some seniors and people with disbelief that are not connected to services so they fall through the cracks. i'm just here is how you go about doing that type of outreach? >> yes. that's an issue for us and always has been genetically of a limited capacity to do that. we do stakeholder meetings and we work with various organizers through the. we also we try to find people who are less connected but usually were finding whenever organizations of their connected to [inaudible]. i think if commissioner supanich mentioned that they gave him. if the dignity fund passes one of the things it requires is that we do a really extensive a

needs assessment and gap analysis, and it would be a different level of stakeholder engagement with that process. i think that's one we would be resourced if that were to happen that one would be resourced to do something much different than i think we would go out and really try to figure out, really work with everyone's best thoughts about how to engage in people who are not engaged in a normal way. as we've tried to work it >> i just have one comment and i'll join has a question. so, i'm on my way actually next week to go see my parents and my dad is actually getting sort of the new mexico version of home care. it comes in tears and he just started just the person i need somebody to check his vitals a couple times a week. what's critical about that it frees up my mom. it really dares-there's the caregiver aspect of that. she does not worry about taking care of her and taking care of him. it's one of those things to keep in mind that's going along it's equally as beneficial to the person that

is living with a person trying to [inaudible] as the person actually getting the care. >> right >> thank you so much for this presentation. it's always exciting to have that apartment come up with the new initiatives because really, the direction of dos has taken over the last pew years is really more about a community integration approach rather than keeping things as they are. taking care of people but allowing people to give them the tools to thrive with this revolutionary approach [inaudible] and the question i had for the or suggestion i have for you, whether there's going to be a job resident program associated with employment at first. specifically targeted to seniors with disabilities. so, issues like disclosure is an

issue that many other employment programs don't deal with or learning computers for the older generation. not a technologically advanced. so, whether you contact with an agency i would urge you to get the job readiness skills to a very targeted way as part of your program. finally, the other question i have for you is where do you see mdc's role in partnering with the department and also the council's role in partnering with the department on bringing for some of those amazing initiatives, whether the home share program, employment initiatives, or supportive home? >> well, i see a great role for the mayor's office on disability to be involved with us. he working on all this and

i think as i said, earlier, some of these things come up and we don't get them we get them and their gives for not really ready to having you know how it happened we get money and wow this is great. we need to get it out the door. i also think though were starting to really think more strategically in these areas about how we i guess how we want to spend a dollar. how we want to study with the results are and so i see us working much more closely with your office. up front around some of this planning. again, we have this to enter and $50,000, for example for employment but that's a cd. as far as i'm thinking, is a seed. what are the other needs? we need to work very closely with your office to plan for the next phase of that. so i'm willing to do whatever that means. whether means having regular meetings, certainly, in thinking about the aging and

disability family landing process we need to be very involved. so, but, yes i would like to see about a very close relationship. >> well, thank you we look forward to working with you. i would like to open up now to public comment. >> will go to information items six. the san francisco public authority today. i'd like to welcome our presenter kelly dearman. thank you for waiting, for your patience. thank you >> good afternoon. thank you

councilmember's for inviting me and the thank you interim director khambatta. b my name is kelly dearman [inaudible] and i also love eileen orman who is our new deputy director is also here. so we thank you very much. i'm going to tell you a d public authority and i can answer whatever questions you might have. first, the public authority we are staff of 17 and that includes six

counselors and mentorship programs and administrative staff as well as our benefits and fingerprinting project could also you a little bit about that. first of all, we were created over 20 years ago to connect though income seniors and people with disabilities to qualified in-home supportive services providers. so that everyone can stay at home and live happier, healthier, lives without having to move into institutional lifecare. so, the way we do that is through these following programs which i will discuss. first, we have the fingerprinting project. this is for our providers could all providers have to be screened and they have to follow a criminal background check, and to our fingerprinting project,

we make sure that they do that and that they pass and that everything is fine. next, we are benefits in san francisco we are lucky that we are able to provide benefits to all of the independent providers and as you heard that about 20,000 folks. they receive medical and dental benefits as long as they meet the requirements. they just have to work a certain number of hours in a month, 25, and then they can receive benefits through healthy workers . next, we have our registry. the registry is where we connect consumers with providers. we currently have 250 providers on the registry. those providers of all received 48 hours of training including cpr and how to be a homecare provider. our providers are very diverse, speak many languages, most of them are women. we find that it takes

about eight days from the time that somebody calls and receives the list of consumer calls, receives the list of potential providers get once they receive that with it takes them a day to actually hire a provider. to be clear, of the 22,000 or so consumers in san francisco, we do with about 1500-2000. the rest of those consumers have friends or family members who actually provide-who are there providers. we work without consumers who do not have a friend or family member or cannot find it friend or family member who are willing to do it. we also been on call program. this is our emergency services. san francisco is unlike most counties throughout california, that if your provider does not show up, or if you are being discharged from the hospital,

and do not have a provider we will provide emergency services for you on a temporary basis until you can find a permanent provider. so, just as i already mentioned in terms of the on-call provider and the independent providers, our on-call providers are separate employees of the public authority. the independent providers are contract workers. those on the registry are contract workers. they're not our employees. everybody, as i said, has been trained and interviewed and has a tb test. lastly, we have a mentorship program. this is-we are proud of our mentorship program. these are current or past consumers, who work with

current consumers to show them the ropes basically. we do this through several ways. one, we have a one-stop resource center so you can come to our office. we offer trainings and workshops and resources for our consumers, and we have mentors there were also there to talk to you. then, we also do direct one-on-one mentoring.. so, for example, if a consumer calls the registry and says, i want to hire a provider, we talk to them and said have you ever done this before? no. great. we want you up with a mentorship or him and a mentor will help them sift through this list of names they have received. we will sit with them through the interview prospect we will help them call to set up these interviews and really talk to them about being in employer because what's important for us is the

sustainability of those relationships. we find that through the mentorship program in this one-on-one connection, that's happening. the other thing that we have is at laguna honda, we have mentors who are at laguna honda work with ihss consumers were eligible ihss as consumers were being discharged. we make that connection with them and talk to them about hiring a provider. how to work with their provider. keeping the communication open. how to take care of yourself so that you're able to better show someone how to do care of you. the goal being if we work with them before they are discharged and we keep up with them for at least six months after discharge, the rates of them returning to laguna honda goes down significantly. so, those are the major programs. we also do a fair amount of advocacy in sacramento and around town in i also want to
