[meeting adjourned]

>> neighborhoods in san francisco are as diverse and fascinating as the people who inhabit them. today we're in the sunset, where we'll join supervisor tang for the inspiration of this show, where we explore san francisco, one neighborhood at a time. hi i'm katy tang the district 4 supervisor in san francisco, which is comprise of sunset and parkside neighborhoods. i think what makes district 4 unique is that we have so many different cultures here. we have so many different generations of people. different experiences and that makes it a vibrant neighborhood. for example, which you go down urban street you can do to a japanese

restaurant, chinese restaurant, american restaurant, and the cultural diversity is just what makes it so amazing my name is ching le, and i'm the owner of the kingdom of bounty. 17th san francisco, 94116. we make the most authentic and different kinds of dumplings and dim sum. recently more and more popular because they are vegetables and meats that we use fresh vegetables and meats in the business. it's really inspired to start discover your district series, because i wanted to find a way for neighbors to come and get to know our small businesses and our neighborhoods. get to know each other, get know our office, and do so in a setting that was unintimidating and fun. so i launched this idea call the "discover your district," where we go

every month to one or two small businesss in district 4 and we have done things such as learning how to make dumplings that we're learning today and there are so many different activities that we have exposed our residents to. >> today is the very special day, because the city of san francisco hosting this for san francisco city. learning how to make dumplings and knowledge of dumplings. they love to do it and all enjoy it. >> this is definitely not my first time making it, so i have definitely improved a lot. the first couple of time s i tried to make dumplelings they looks inedible. they have definitely improved. there is a special dumpling eating contest, which is amazing. everyone those eat the dumplings that they made and see how many they can

do. i'm curious as to how many they going to be able to down today? >> don't forget to write down what you are eating today. >> we make all different kinds of dumplings and enjoy what they made. so after that, we'll have contact how many pieces of dumplings they can eat and announce the winner today.

>> good morning, and i'm sitting in on edna is no longer on the dos commission and sarina is on vacation and so i am going to sit in as an interim. and i think that we need to formalize that in some way and i am going to take the guidance from the secretary. with he need to open a nomination. >> all right. >> correct. >> and i nominate commissioner sims to be the interim president for today's meeting. >> i second. >> all in favor? >> aye. >> thank you. so roll call? >> vice president is excused, itani. present. >> loo. >> ow. >> here. >> roy. >> here. >> interim president, sims

of area agencies on aging board meeting as i think that you know, i am the alternate to california for the board and banks from la is the board member. and so we go together to these meetings and represent california. it was an interesting time to be in washington. and i think you know a lot of what we at the board meeting and then at the policy briefing which i attended for the last two days, we talked a lot about you know kind of what is the aappropriate for advocacy at the national level, given all that is going on right now. and really, we focused on holding the line on things like the older americans act and really advocating for the importance of medicaid for older adults. and so i was fortunate to have tom nolan with me, he is fantastic and has a lot of great connection and it was really, really helpful to have him there with me and we visited a number

of office and our local offices and some that were other california offices as well. but we focused on ours because of course, people like to hear from their own constituents and so we were able to go to visit with jackie spears office and we visited her staff together, but yesterday, tom was able to get a meeting with her, herself after i left. and we visited with anna eshu and because i was there with my colleague, also we visited diane finestein and she popped in for a few minutes and we got to see herself and not just her aids. and then after i left, tom met with linda primus is who is the key person who works for nancy pelosi. and so we covered quite a bit while we were there about getting the words about importance and we know that they are supportive of the older americans act and of medicaid, i think that it always helps for

them to hear from us and remind them that older adults are a huge part of their constituencies and so it was, you know, it was a little bit mixed because there is a lot of uncertainty right now about what the federal budget is ultimately going to look like as you all know. and so, a little bitter sweet. but certainly, i think that it is important work. and i just brought a couple of copies of the policy priorities for 2017 that n4 a puts out every year and i don't have enough copies for everybody and i can get copies if you are interested and i have three right here and i can get some more for you. on the state level and i am fwo going to defer to dan if you have specific questions. there is a battle going on between the counties in the state about what is going to happen with the ihss, effort and we don't have a clear picture yet about what is going to look like, but dan is spending like it has become a second job for

him to go to sacramento and fight for this, because it has huge impacts on the county, and you know, if the mle completely goes away without another solution and so dan, if you want him to talk about specifics, he can do that, but it is still in play. locally, i guess most important thing that has happened is that we have been working on the fund of the 6 million, allocation and as you know we have 6 million of the new money in the budget to allocate and we have an over side and an advisory committee and the department together we have been working very hard to figure out the allocation process, and plan, and so, i submitted a plan to the oversight advisory committee i guess a month ago or so, and they have been kind of playing around with it and they asked us to come up with different ideas which we did, and they compared

those ideas and ultimately voted on monday to go ahead and recommend to us, the plan that we originally gave to them. and i think that you know, what we were thinking about is dividing things into six buckets, and trying very hard not to come up with brand new ideas, because you know, we are going to have this whole community needs assessment that is going to happen over the next two years and we are going to be finding out if we need to develop brand new programming or what. but at this point, we think that it is really important to get this 6 million dollars out the door and we know that there are seniors and people with disabilities that need that and need those services and we know that there are providers who are hoping to get money into their budget so that they can serve more people. so, we divided it into six buckets. care giver support, and kind of innovative community service centers and activities, and housing retention, and legal services and financial planning and nutrition and wellness, and support for veterans. and in addition, actually what

they did is they voted to recommend to us that there are two plans, and so, one of them includes a cost of doing business line item, because we think that if we are adding new programs in, we are boeing to have to find a way to fund them in the future, i can go into detail on any of these, and so the care giver support is for the respite and then also for a

new data base, that is a resource directory for care givers and the service, and the community service centers and activities are funds to develop new and expansion models of our existing community services and so for instance, if we have an issue where most of the people who are attending our senior centers are 70 or older. we are hoping that the senior centers could find a way to build a pipeline of younger seniors that can come in and maybe just by expanding their hours or doing something different. but utilizing the buildings that they already have.

we are also needing to add transportation there. and probably there could be some food added. there as well. because when you bring the people together in a center you need to have some of those things to get them there and keep them there. housing retention is for the housing subdy and that will increase the current budget that we have for subsidies by 580,000, in one model, and around, 500 in the other, and legal services and financial planning and one of the things that we have is that we have through the older america's act we have legal services for seniors and a lot of our legal services providers are serving people with disabilities who are under the age limit, and they don't have a way to fund that and we really want to make sure that there is parody there and so we are looking at adding in attorneys so that or attorney physicians so that they can serve younger adults with disability and we are also looking to respond to do more of

the recommendations from the lgbt task force, and one is for planning for the population and legal and life planning, and for lgbt people as well. and then, moving on to nutrition, and wellness, we are looking at a pilot to develop the linkage between positive nutrition status and out comes for chronic illness and we are looking at supporting technology at home, and which is there is actually several models out there technology at home and one of the things that we know from other places one of which is when i visited the netherlands is that there are a number of models where people learn to use technology particularly with tablets. and then there are able to interact in ways that they can't understands whether they are home bound or don't get out as much as they used to. and we know that the senior isolation is a huge issue and isolation is a big issue for the people with disabilities as well. and so the technology and there

is really innovative technologies out there where the people can remain, engaged in the community and so when we start thinking about health and the people tracking their own health out comes and all of that and it is really hopeful for them to have all of the technologies and the knowledge around that so that they can do that as well. and then we are looking at health promotion to continue a diabetes program for older adults and adults with disabilities as part of that as well. and then we are looking at a bucket for veterans and we have the county veterans service office. with he have focused on doing some of the work with the veterans through the office on the aging but we really wanted to make sure that we made a clear statement that we are expanding programs for our older veterans and veterans with disabilities in san francisco. and so there is a bucket for that. and i can have brig et send this out to you, so that you have copies, and if you have any questions, feel free to contact

me. but i will be submitting this to the mayor's office, this week. >> yes, i do okay, the veterans office, how many people, how many workers are there now? today? >> well the veterans so this is -- this funding is not for the veteran's office itself. this funding is actually for community based organizations, so there is a couple of different things, one of them is that we would add to the meals the meals that we currently have for veterans in the veterans housing sites and then in the other it is that we have worked with some of the veterans organizations who are very interested in having connecters at the veterans housing sites. so that they can help to the people get service and we are seeing a lot of times what happens in those sites is that the people don't know what to trust and so that they don't actually accept service and if there is someone on the site that who help to make sure that they get linked to the services that they need that they will be

successful in staying in the home safely, that is what i am talking about right now. we have how many staff do we have in the veteran's office right now? >> positions? >> we have 7 positions in the veteran's office right now. they are not all filled, unfortunately. >> you have six buckets and then you have one bucket pay some attention to the veterans. how many people do you expect to hire to in this office? how would that veteran's bucket >> we are not going to hire any more people, these dollars will all go out to the community based organizations. >> oh, so i see, there is no place in those ma'am, no. >> not with this money, no. >> not with this money, we have the people in dos for the service office but this is specifically money for the community based organizations and i also want to say that we are just also not serving the

veteranwise these dollars, there are veterans in all of our programs and so we no he that we hope that they are getting services in many different ways, but these dollars are specifically to go to these organizations that serve veterans so basically you have this $6 million for the next budget, right? >> correct. >> and you are not going to hire not one single new person. >> not in dos. >> not in dos. >> no. >> these are for the xhupt based organizations >> i see for the non-profit. >> right. once we do that and that is when we will figure that out, right? but we are just saying that we want to get these dollars out in the community and we know that the communities are effective at serving their populations and so we have to go through the whole process. i have one more last yes, and

this year, 6 million next year will be three million and that will be nine million? >> that is right. questions from the commissioners. and the 6 million dollars, in six buckets are they. >> we have gone through a lot of exercises to figure out what the best way to do this is. and we based it both on the democratic side but also using all of the research that our planning team put into, putting together well our planning team of one, put into the needs assessment, and you know, so we are using that data that we currently have to make good decisions about where we put our dollars, and we are thinking about with which bucket what would be meaningful and so we

are not split out evenly at all, we are thinking where will it be the most impactful in each of these areas? >> it will be allocated according to the needs that you folks have done? >> that is right. >> that is right. >> thank you. >> and the other questions, and for, for the nutrition, and the oneness and so are we introducing like the health medicine into this process? >> no, i think that we are just looking to one of the things that i think is important with all of our programs and we are going to be doing this with all of our programs. but it is looking at the impact of what we already know works. and but really being able to measure it. and so, we wanted to just introduce that element into our nutrition budget. our nutrition portfolio.

i didn't hear the mention of memory care or any cognitive priority in the six buckets, does it fit somewhere. >> well, it fits in a few different places and certainly it could fit, if it certainly fits in the care giver support and that is where we see a lot of the need for i guess more support and the care givens are struggling and working with the people with dementia and they need the resource and so that is one thing that we have put into the care giver support and also the respite and we know that all of the programs are adaptive of serving people with dementia and it is something that we will be looking at with the community needs assessment and we know that we are going to have a growing population.

one more question, so the money will be given to the non-profit agency that we have been contracted with. >> no, there will be no rfps and we are trying to work out that now, but our contract office assured me that we will have to have the rfp for some of these things. >> okay, maybe not all of them. >> okay. >> but yeah. >> thank you. >> i am pleased to be in this chair, but we will honor peterson of the human services agency.

this is super bitter sweet for me and everybody in this room. because martha is incredibly special to us and has provided support for dos for i don't know, how long. many, many years. and she has been, but she has been here for 14 years, right? and so before i talk about martha, i just really want to recognize the budget team from hsa. derrick, don't, yeah. derrick. everybody else from the budget team here, or you guys, stand up for a minute. >> i think that everybody knows

that it is part of the human services agency and we are really, really fortunate to have a greadministrative team and th work under dan and without their support we would not be able to do the things that we do. and sometimes we don't see what they do sometimes it is sort of invisible to the people in the public but without their support we will not be able to do anything right, let's put it that way. so martha, i want to read a little bit about what the people have said about you, but i want to just talk about our relationship, because we have worked very closely together. and i think that almost since we merged or maybe right when we merged and martha knows so much about our budget and she has not been hesitant to say to me that does not really work. and shi also has been really, innovative with trying to figure out ways to support us. and so if i say to her, gosh we have to find money for this

thing, this $20,000 here or $20,000 there, how can we make that work? or is there some creative way that we can do this? she is always, always, been able to figure it out. she says that she does not know the budget to the penny, she is like no i don't, but she does. and you know, it is such and it has been such a great pleasure to work with you martha, and it is really sad for me that you are leaving. and at the same time i am so happy for you. because i know that you have been looking forward to this for a long time. i want to read what your colleagues have said about you, and you have to bear with me and listen to it. >> for 14 years, martha has been a part of the san francisco human services agencies incredible budget team. as the lead budget analyst for the department of aging and adult services martha has worked closely with the staff across the programs that made the significant contributions to the department's work and on behalf of the senior and adults with disabilities. her support has made it possible

for the initiative and sure we have adequate resources for the ongoing, programs and able to effectively meet the needs of our clients, on both the professional and personal efrl, her positive and authentic generous nature signs through, she has developed, the strong relationships with the staff and managers at dos as well as our partners in planning, fiscal and the contracts in community and helped us to work together as a team. she always is willing to pitch in and help out even with the task and projects that go beyond the budget realm although her work is primarily focused on numbers and funding amounts her dedication is always, evident, and martha is thinking about the clients that we serve and helping us strat guys best. >> and so, maybe your other colleagues said that you were brilliant, and you have a fantastic way of remembering wherever dollar is used. why it has been moved. and you have this incredible institutional knowledge, which

is true. like we have the joke about the fund. >> you always answer the phone and you always call back immediately and you respond with patients and kindness and try to help. and if you don't know the answer to something you figure it out. really quickly and get back. and you are a variable library and program related knowledge. your amazing. you are super friendly. you always know how to make something work. and you are a true team player. somebody that we always want on our team. so, thank you martha. we are so fortunate to have had you and i don't know if some of the commissioners want to say anything, but i know that they are grateful, i know that they have been able to call you as well any time that they need anything, so any way. thanks so much and good luck to you. >> and i guess that i should give you this.

thank you all so much for this honor, i want to say that i am the one who is grateful to have been in this role for so long and to have met so many wonderful people and i can't say enough about i am going to miss all of you so much, so thank you.

>> next on the agenda is the report from the advisory council. >> good morning, commissioners. good mortganing commissioners i presenting this report for leon schmid our president who could not be here. the advisory council, proceeding the council, we had an executive committee meeting much of it devoted to internal matters for the advisory committee such as the number of times that the people can attend and possibly the new members but it was also decided that in the future, we would have, and the advisory council would have a retreat. dates are not specified and we

just discussed further areas in which we would be like to informed, especially the housing for seniors the issues to people with disabilities. so all of us well, not all of us, were present and absence were mcdonald who was ill, paric, russo and warren. and concerned with expressed about mr. mcdonald and discussions of ways to reach out. and or if he is ill, the need to row place him. >> guests included melissa and the das, legislative lee a response, rick apple by, and we approved the february 15th minutes, and correcting the

names, and spelling. president schmid presented the council with a gavel and a block and a book of rules of order. and he introduced melissa, and i didn't think that they were that disorderly myself. >> and miss mcgee gave a summary of the first meeting, on february 24th of the fund over the committee because this was a meeting in with march. and the discussion was at 6 million, will be available and on march 6, eas presented it'sal location, proposal for the moneys. spending the review which is now completed and the program evaluation of anything that

peskin. and miss fortunani is going to visit the offices of the remaining supervisors to urge them to make nominations in districts one, 6, 8, 9, and 10. and reported that the commissioner of aging nominating committee has moved all of the appointments and applications. but they are still looking for replacements for who is i think, very ill. and just will not come back. and she will address this stipend situation which is a technical matter. director mcfadden, she is visiting and supervisor's office. and talking about dem graphics and services. within each district, and the aaa plan is due may first and it needs to be approved by the council. and the plan is to make a

presentation in april. which will be a couple of weeks. and approve it in may. and it was noted that april third and fourth is the national association of areas council meeting which director mcfadden has reported on. and there is a national conference in august, director remind td the members that if we make the comments as individuals we are not speaking for the entire group or the department and that is presents ourselves as such. rick the captain of the des training to be on may 12th, at mission hall on the lgbt demen shall care given project hosted by the alzheimer's association. and our advisory council member patty, gave us a summary on friday, december, 17th meeting on the elder abuse which she

attended. and miss lauren who chairs the joint legislative committee or co-chairs it will make a report later. so i will leave that part to you. and the council moves seconded and unanimously passed to send a letter urging retention of funding in a coordinated care and initiative. and the plan is to meet with senators warner and ting and to send it to the subcommittee in the hel and this human service to continue this funding. i move that we send a letter to pelosi and sphere, and the

healthcare act, which needed to consider, the equity and funding in healthcare, and federal funding for medicaid and the council who seconded unanimo unanimously, regarding the healthcare act and rick app le be, drafted a letter on this subject and we are pleased of course, with the merp healthcare act in it's present form did not pass. also allowing the bicyclists to roll through stops and we discussed the need to oppose this legislation because of accidents and near misses, with the seniors and adults or the people with disabilities. and it makes traffic unpredictable. if you don't know where someone is coming toward you on a bicycle is going to continue or not. and the council moved seconded

and passed this proposal to send a letter in opposition to this legislation, bill, 1103. and this letter also was variably drafted by mr. app elby. if you wish i could submit copies of these letters. on site visit and patty, and visited and reported on the heights, neighborhood center, and a month to month, sign up sheet was passed around from the member and the site visit reports. and for the lgbt task force, marcy, reported on the legislation, and establishing a california state lgbt bill of rights, that supported by the state senator weiner. mr. app leby also sent a level to the city attorney in the ethics commission after the request of james to clarify the authority of the aging advisory council and to endorse or oppose

legislation independently. and there was an announcement on the presentation this coming thursday of the director of homelessness and supportive housing. i think that i perhaps i skipped this part that the delegates from the advisory council to the oversight and advisory council for the dignity fund and include myself and marscy, and befery tailor. and then i will show after that we adjourned. so would you like to ask any questions? >> questions? >> thank you very much. >> you are welcome. >> now we will have a report from co-chairman diane law ens on the joint legislative commit. >> good morning i will be fairly

brief, although in your minutes there will be a long list, thanks to mr. apple by of all of the legislation that we are tracking but i will summarize quickly what the big buckets are. so there was no action items from february meeting. and we did not meet in march. so there was no reports. so i have combined the two together. and again, at the state level, california is looking at healthcare. given the program on our own, but there is no clarity around it, and i reported that if february. and there is still no updates but we will keep tracking that as we move forward. and obviously healthcare as she said and as you will see in the list of priorities state wide, and from director mcfaddin's report, it is going to be an ongoing issue that we will be tracking them and watching this current year and we are continuing to work on our meeting with the local representatives. a subcommittee was formed by myself and mr. apple beto put

together the talking points, commissioner al recommended that we identify five key areas which we are still working on when we meet with our local representatives we want to have a cohesive plan and our top five priorities so that we can use their time and our time to the best. so we will probably have a little bit more to report in the next month or so. we are continuing to work on the bylaws and bringing in an alignment the advisory council, and the commission, and the joint legislative committee. and so that they are clear. and where we are not clear, we are gain some clarity. so those are have been sent to the city attorney, and as mrs. lori mentioned, commissioner james who attended our meeting recommend that had we also send those to the ethics committee or commission so that we are make sure that we are in alignment and so that we will continue to report on that as we move forward. as of our meeting two weeks ago, we had heard nothing back from the city attorney.

so a new business, there is still uncertainty at the federal level around the various programs and healthcare, while the american healthcare act was defeated there is ongoing work. there is no additional impact on the older americans act. but now we have some direction moving forward from the director mcfaddin's meeting in washington and so we can look at that and in light. and again, also, the funding to the coordinated care initiative, and so as we mentioned, as mrs. lori mentioned, we did send a letter of support for retaining that money and funding moving forward and that has gone out. and the day that we met, there was the assembly budget, subcommittee on health and human services met and we got the minutes that were shared with us following the meeting. and all of the items that impact

our areas of interest, adults with disabilities and older and seniors are all on hold. they are, and they have moved forward. and they have been put were held open. and so moving for ward and so we will continue to track them and they didn't say no. but they didn't say yes, either. and there was on one issue the funding for the california senior legislature and they asked director with chl to develop a funding plan to insure it's survival and until the tax revenue can come up to make csl self-supporting again and on the city level, we got a report on a hearing that is supervisor yee held regarding the department of age and adult services audit and the services to seniors and adults with disabilities. and director mcfaddin had responded and discussed dos

services athe that hearing. parks and rec also described their senior programs. hearing was well attended and there was a lot of community input. and we are tracking a number of bills and again, thanks to mr. apple, by the chart that you will see in the minutes is thanks to him and most of the legislation resolves around alzheimer's and alzheimer's care supported by the alzheimer's association and other groups and housing, health issues, and as mentioned by mrs. lori, senate bill, 162, excuse me, senate bill, 219 is state senator weiner's bill on the lgbt long term care bill of rights. and we also were seeing requests again for increases in sfi benefits and burial benefits and

care giver, tax credits and a number of things that we discussed last session as well. so we will continue to monitor those and if there are any in particular that you want us to look at, in more detail, please let me know. >> questions from the commission? >> we just like to say that i am tremendously encouraged to hear that the csl funding is in discussion until the bridge until the tax funds are available. thank you. >> thank you. >> long term care koor nading council, good morning. >> good morning. >> mark burns and the executive member and i am here your april representative for your march updates, like everybody else in the city, we are spending a tremendous amount of time trying to process and divine the impact of all of the state and federal legislative and executive actions that are occurring. and understand how best to turn those back into policy

recommendations. for the past several months we are engaged in revitalizing the process of bringing the ideas from the work groups off to the full council and then forward into the budget asks into the board of supervisors and mayor's office and we just finished our first round of this new policy process, and it worked wr well for us and we are actually in front of the budget this time and i hope that next year to be further in front of the budget process and we identified three priority and they are in terms of inpriority number one, we are from our housing work group, we are seeking housing subdies for 200 seniors and people with disabilities and 100 of whom are currently housed but experiencing housing insecurity, and another 100 who are currently homeless and also from the housing work group, we are supporting the retention, pilot which is designed to revitalize the workforce among the workforce program where they are having a difficult time

attracting and retaining workers. and then, the third budget priority from our hiv and aging work group is a grant to ucsf's golden compass program which is a medical clinic for aging and hiv population and it is specifically developed the social service programming within that clinic. thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> tech report. >> i don't see cathy russo. so we will pass that today. case report? >> our board has been busy

prepare and continuing our advocacy campaign, we are in the midst of collecting upwards of 3,000 post cards which we will be delivering to the city supervisors as well as the mayor, which will take place over the next four to six weeks. along with the e-mail campaign. we also have the board has been actively ramping up strategy with the two new board members how we can improve and increase our advocacy, so that we can better support our member agency and our con ststituents and the seniors and the younger adults with disabilities in san francisco, so that our advocacy

the dos and ioa will conduct level of care assessments, in rcfci residents. and we will be identified by the rcfci, facility managers for the potential candidates that could move to a lower level of care. this includes recommendations for the type of housing. wrap around services and transitional care, management to reduce institutionalization post placement. >> in in addition, ioa will provide the base line assessments for individuals that are prioritized on the cd's new plus housing weight list. historically there was not a lot of movement on that weight list, for many reasons. and mohcd revamped their housing wait list based on the 2014, five year plan for the housing wait list and one of the changes of this was to include a base line assessment to help and inform and facilitate a placement and this is only, with

no case management services for this for the wait list assessments. >> they will provide the funds for the work under the contract. and it is not utilizing any of the clf current summarize the presentations if you have any questions? >> from the commission? >> yes. >> and the funding will be a completely by the city and county and you are going to serve the 26 patients and so there are there will be the funding is from mohcd, and it is to provide the level of care assessments, for two populations. one is the rcfci folks that the people that are living in the facility that can move out and this is for 12. and there is the plus housing

weight list, and they are doing a base line assessment of 14 people. what they might need to match with the housing needs that they have. >> so the total number of patients will be 26? >> yeah. >> and the city is spending approximately 3000 per person. no, 2100. >> yeah, the total amount is 55. the 12 clients that we are doing the transition for, the rate is 3750. and then for the 14 clients that are under the plus housing and under, 357. >> thank you. >> the total of 50,000 and then for the whole piece.

>> other questions, motion to accept? >> so moved. >> motion to approve. >> second. >> all in favor. >> aye. >> aye. >> opposed? >> thanks, motion passes. >> thank you. >> and item b, requesting authorization to renew the grant agreement with the family care giver alliance for the support program of during the period of july, 1, 2017, through june, 30th, in the amount of 415,000, and plus a ten percent for the total grant amount not-to-exceed, 456,000 introducing monte muno and i i think that i need a motion to accept. >> so moved. >> second. >> good morning, commissioners my name is chamino and i am a program analyst and we seek your approval for i one year contract

this is their contribution to the program. >> thank you. >> any other questions? >> i will be recusing myself. >> all aye. >> opposed? >> carries. announcements? >> commissionersvy one, and that is that the next meeting of this commission, we will be presenting the area plan up date for your approval. it is that time of year and we will be reviewing the up date. >> before i go to general public

comment i would like to invite dan to come and maybe just give us a quick up date on this state discussions around ihhs. >> as you know, the ihhs program is referred tos athe mant nens of effort funding plan. and since 12, 13, fiscal year, 1213, and what that says in he sense in the county point of view is that there is a fixed county contribution which is increased every year by 3 and a half percent. and it is further increased if a local public authority negotiates a change in wages and benefits and over the years since the moe went into effect,

there have been a number of actions between counties and states to further define what is covered and not covered. by the mle, and we have established that inflationary increases in medical costs, for provider benefits, is not something that triggers a change in the moe. and that local and state minimum wage changes are not something that triggers a cost in the mle. and that change is in federal and regulations or the entertation of the federal regulations like those who have led to the over time payments for ihhs workers. do not trigger a change in the mle and that the state policy changes that cause increases in costs do not change. they are the most, the most significant of which is the restoration of a 7 percent cut

in hours that was made during t swarts neglecter administration, and so this has been a funding mechanism that has been beneficial for counties and it is part of the cci or the coordinated care initiative and engabling legislation, requires the director of the department of finance at the state level to make an annual determination of the cost effectiveness of cci and if it is determined to be not cost effective, to end the program. and that happened this january. in the governor's budget. and the biggest impact to counties in that, was that the ihhs mle was ended by that action. so what that amounts to is the 623 million cost shift from the state to the counties. because it returns the funding

of the ihhs program to it's pre-cci rules. which in essence were that counties would cover, 35 percent of all wage and benefit costs that are non-federal. and that they would have an administrative allocation and within the administration allocation would cover, 15 percent of the cost and over the allocation would cover, 50 percent of the cost. and so counties were as you would expect, shocked. and fell collectively that they would have a very, very, hard time absorbing those costs. and the speaker of the assembly, responded to that, and made a proposal that was meant to be a compromised proposal. and what it said in essence was that the ihhs, mle would be increased by $623 million

dollars. but it would be kept in place. and so that would give the administration an increase in county contributions for in the budget year. but but, having it be an mle going forward would hold down the increased for counties, and part of the speaker's proposal was a reaffirmation that the collective bargaining would be handled at the state level. and so counties responded to it and they felt there was an obligation. the important part that i left out is that the speaker said that if his proposal went into

effect, a fund would be kree alted at the state level, which would in essence pay the $623 million dollars. and that would being reduced in the growth of in 1991, realignment revenue and that is why it is impossible to describe it simply. so 1991, realignment revenue is a stream of the sales tax licensing fees that come to counties to pay for a number of different things but among them are the county sheriff and the caseload cost and they have grown state wide at 100 million dollars a year give or take.

this would be funded with 523 million dollars of internal borrowing at the state level, and in the second year it would be funded by 423 million of the internal bore ring at the state level and what it did is that it said, and the continued to be diverted to this fund, and until it was big enough to cover the full costs and on the annual basis and then after that, it would be used to pay back the borrowing that happened. and in the speaker analysis took about 15 years and so by the time that it was fully paid back would be 15 years. and so, the sales tax growth

would be diverted for that purpose during that time period. which means that no sales tax revenue would be available for the public health growth or mental health growth but it would be available to cover so the counties had a number of objections some are technical and some are directed to those points. and basically they said, we don't think that this mechanism works at this level. that would cover the full, and there is a negotiation going on between the counties represented by the association of counties

and the administration represented by the state department of finance to see if they can't get to a place where on the rebasing of the mle but keep the structure primarily in place. that is where we are today. and from a timing point of view, i think that everybody would like to get this agreement wrapped up in about two to three weeks. because that is when the governor needs to be revising. and it is a tight fiem frame and a lot of people are giving a lot of time and energy for this and so the conversations are happening every day. >> >> thank you, what is the and there are two different

estimates on that and one is a county estimate and one is a state estimate and they are relatively close, and the county estimate is the impact in the year will be $40 million, and in the state estimate is that the impact in the budget year will be about 36 million. >> thank you. and other questions from the commission? >> yes. >> we are talking about ihhs, that is the home care workers, right? >> it is the whole ihhs. >> okay, well that is so much money of the home care worker gets on the federal money so much of it, the state money. and soy much of it is the money that can you tell me roughly, percentage wise, how much is the federal government giving or dollar and cents of before i asked that question, maybe i can ask you, how much is the san francisco home care workers

getting in that, for per hour. >> and so, at the present time, the san francisco ihhs workers are receiving the minimum wage, which in san francisco is 13 dollars an hour. and it will go to 14 dollars an hour on july first and then to 15 dollars an hour the subsequent july first. >> plus the healthcare right? >> also, for the vacation money, there is not vacation money, but there is no health and dental. >> how much are we subsidizing now for the city and the share of the home care workers? >> so the city under the moe has a contribution, 80 million and they will grow by 3 and a half

percent so let's call it 82 and a half million or so. >> okay, at this time, before they increase, and they are getting $13 an hour and the homework workers and how much is of the city is putting in? a couple of dollars in >> roughly? >> so the city share and so the federal share is now under the affordable care act. 54 percent, and i think that the county share comes out to about, 20 percent, so the state would be whatever the difference is. >> 260 or something. >> yeah. >> and 20 percent of the city. thank you, thank you. >> any other questions? >> thank you. for this spur of the moment up date. any other public comment?

>> if not i will entertain a motion for, so moved. >> second. >> all in favor? >> aye. >> aye. >> okay.

reimbursement and cost allegations in conjunction with mission bay and four and six for the total term of august 15th 2016 through may 11th, 2020 with no additional cost. thank you lori shore. >> i'm barbara moore from the task force. after exceptive consultant selection progresses in 2006, the city entered into an agreement for harris an associates for consulting and cost allegations for the mission bay project for public infrastructure in community facilities district number four and six. since the development of public infrastructure is expected to continue for the next few years on this 300-acre project we're requesting the board's approval to extend the agreement beyond 10 years with harris and associates stending that agreement to may 2020 with no additional cost to the city.

>> thank you miss moi. we'll go ahead and go to public comment. public comment is open. public comment is closed. colleagues, let's see, is there any recommendations? >> i'll make a motion to send forth this item to the board with positive recommendation. >> without objection that motion passes. next item please. >> clerk: ordinance pro appropriate $122 million in sales proceeds of city property and $322 million of proceeds from certificates of participation to fund the retirement and 2001-a and 2017-a certificates of participation. >> thank you very much. mr. updike is here to present on the item. >> thank you chair cohen. john updyke. we've submitted amended legislation. considered substantive. wield weed' request a

321-765 would be on controllers reserve and penned both the sales of the buildings, the discretionary actions which will be coming forward to the board of supervisors and those are the approval of a general plan amendment and approval of a planning code amendment. findings of sikh wit cequa as well as the agreement between the city and related california or llc as noted in the title. really, this -- those are the amendments here and in the body we've add the address 1 1500 mission and happy to answer any questions on that from a process standpoint, if you have any. >> i want to make sure that the amendment language before us actually allows us to vote on

the $321 million an $321 million, and $122 million appropriations separately. is that how you presented it? no. we'll turn to the analyst. >> as i understand it, this item is going to be continue, so i won't review all the details of the report. let me make a comment on this legislation. this amended legislation just submitted. mr. jup dyke says this address the concerns of the budget analyst. this do not any way shape or form address the budget of the legislative analyst. this doses not -- there are two major concerns in our report. one is that will after obtaining an additional 154,000 and that number comes from mr. updyke of additional new space after getting this new building after

selling the other buildings, there will be 154,000 more square feet of space exd for years, members of the board of supervisor have expressed serious concerns about the fact that the city leases over 2 million -- i don't know what it million is now, it was over 2 million square feet of space spais in the civic center and rightfully so, the members say we want a new building to reduce our lease spaces. this legislation that you just received in know way shape or form assures the board of supervisors that one square feet of space will be leased. there is no a stheurnses there will be any reduction in lease space and no assurances to the board of supervisors that there will be any lease cost savings to the city number one. number two, it doesn't expression the concerns in our report that when the board of

supervisors -- and by the way, you were advised by departments in 2014 that there would be reduction in lease space and you were also advised that the furniture fixtures and equipment and the technology and the moving costs were going to be approximately $12 million. now they have increased by 139% to $29.4 million. this legislation didn't address that at all. all this legislation does is address the points we made that plier to the board of supervisors approving this legislation, there are certain other actions that have to be taken. this does address that. in terms of the two major concerns to the city, any cost savings to the city, it no way shape or form addresses our concerns. >> thank you very much for the preview for next week. we'll continue the conversation next week. i want to pivot and give the

deputy city attorney and opportunity to speak as well. >> just briefly, deputy city attorney to the chair to the committee. one of the motivations for the amendments proposed by mr. updyke today is the previous failure to include the address the 1500 mission street address. we're thankful that mr. updyke dealt with that in the amendments and given the notice issues, we believe continuance to next week may be appropriate. and the committee feels like it wants to divide the 122 from the 321 or any other potential changes or amendments, the committee is free to do so at that time. >> thank you very much for the clarification. we'll take public comment on this item. any members of the public that want to speak on item four, please come up. seeing none, public comment is closed. supervisor tang. >> thank you, i know we're going to have i more row burst

conversation at the next meeting, but i want -- before we get there address mr. rose's first concern which is regarding the amount of lease space it from our other city departments in civic center and the increase we'll get. can you speak to that since you do have the bird bird's-eye view over all the lease space here? >> sure. supervisor tang. we have either sent or will be sent shortly from the board to all the board of supervisors a report on the lease portfolio can have the city. also diving in a little deeper to the civic center lease hold portfolio which has been reduced significantly. and pivoted to better protect us from future market fluctuations. we're happy to speak to that.

at the time this comes forward, happy to address the other issues addressed by budget and legislative analyst at the time this comes forward as well as in may when the board will have the opportunity to take other divining actions on this project. so this is not intended to give short shrift to those concerns. we fully intend to address them, just not today. >> just a minute mr. rose, supervisor tang. i think at the next hearing, i would like to hear about how with the increase of the 140,000 square feet of space after this transaction occurs, what are we doing with that additional space? it may that be the dments that are going if there need that additional space. maybe not. if you could clarify the whole kind of what is going on, that would be great. >> mr. rose. >> yes, madam chair and members of the committee, supervisor

tang, that is what i was going to say. mr. updyke made reference to the fact there has been reduction in lease space. i'm not talking about any reduction in lease space that has been made. i'm talking about a new building that has, as you stated, 154,000 -- results in 154,000 net additional square feet. does the city get any reduction in lease space specifically as a result that have new building? you know, i used to rent -- we used to live in park merced, my wife and i and two daughters. we accumulated enough money to purchase a house. guess what, we terminated the lease where we were living and we moved into the new house. i would like to know specifically as a result of this 154,000 square feet of lease space, will the city show us in

writing what reduced lease savings -- what leases are going to be terminated a as a result of this new building? consistent with what the board of supervisors was previously advised in 2014. if we're talking about in the future, right now, the mayor has indicated that we're in a period now where we have to look out for our finances. because of our projected short false and so forth. if the controller mentioned something we could be facing maybe a downturn in the near future. we shouldn't be talking, in my professional judgment, about new city employees to occupy new space. we should be talking about a reduction in city lease costs as a result of gaining 154,000 square feet of space. this is nothing new. this is the departments who

previously advised the board of supervisors, if you do this deal at 12500 mission street, that's what you would get. and so far, that's what we've not seen. all right, let's save some pft fire for next week. mr. updyke, i think you heard from this committee what weed a like to see and hear in the presentation next week. ladies and gentlemen, what i think i want to do is although you mentioned the amendments today, i think we'll take them all um and deal with everything next week. i'd love to have a motion -- what day is the budget committee next week? >> next budget hearing date for next week is april 20th. >> april 20th -- >> sorry april 20th. >> april 20th 2017 is the next budget committee. may i have a motion to continue. >> i'll make a motion to continue item 2.

>> deputy city attorney. >> i apologize for interrupting. deputy city attorney andrew shen. to deal with the notice issues, at a minimum the committee should -- modify it to the 1500 mission street address. >> supervisor tang do you have any other comments? >> i'll make the motion to adopt the 1500 mission street address. >> supervisor you were speaking to that. >> i'll go ahead and make a motion to continue. >> so we have a notion amend which we'll take without objection and we have a motion to continue next week to april 20th and we'll take that also without objection. >> i apologize. just to clarify, i think at the clerk as office request they'd like to see an amendment to reference the address and

section two as well. so instead of potential office building development, it would say 1500 mission street development. >> through the chair, i'll rescind my motion for the amendment earlier. just restate in the long title, it will include 1500 mission street on page one. on page two section two line 24 add 1500 mission street. >> we'll take that without objection. thank you. >> thank you. >> . p. >> do we still have to make a motion to amend? >> yes. >> i'll make a moment to continue as amended to our april 20th meeting. >> thank you very much. all right, next item, please. >> item number five is an ordinance amending ordinance 26610 authorizing the execution and delivery of taxable

certificates of participation for hope sf in an aggregate principle amount not to exceed $38 million. >> thank you. next figure is representative from the controller's office. welcome. >> good morning supervisors jamie kurben. as we authorize the certificates of participation to finance the hope sf program, portions of the three phase project for the housing development in the bay view hunter's point neighborhood to replace four publicly-owned housing developments in the city. a reminder, the board of supervisors a domentded ordinance number 266-10 in october 2010 which authorizes the certificates to finance the hope sf program and approve use of commercial paper as a source of interim financing. the legislation before you a certifies the certificates to in part replace the commercial paper to datened finance the completion of certain remaining

capital improvements. the ordinance also authorizes the execution and delivery of a revised final statement and revised statement which has been updated to reflect current city information. it's anticipated that four buildings will collectively serve as collateral for the certificates and secure the repayment obligations under the project lease. under current market conditions today, the office of public finance expects to issue approximately $29 million of taxable certificates with a conservative interest rate of 5.48% which results in an average annual debt service of $1.9 million over a 30 year term. i'm available to answer any questions about the financing and i also have amy chan here to answer any project-related questions. >> thank you. i appreciate that. for clarification, the city

expects to issue and deliver in june of 2017, is that right? >> to sell the certificates in may and possibly close in late may, early june. >> thank you. we'll go to public comment. seeing none public comment is closed. colleagues, is there a recommendation? >> i'll make a recommendation to send item five to the full board with positive recommendation. >> without objection that motion passes. thank you. next item. >> agenda item number six is a resolution approving the norm of and authorization of an official statement with the execution and delivery of t.s.x. certificates ever participation not to exceed 508al million dollars for the george r. moscone cone center and expansion project. >> thank you. >> good morning again jamie kurben. we authorize the execution and

delivery of a final statement and approves the official statement as it relates to the certificates of participation for the moscone convention center project. as a rea reminder, the board of supervisors approved 26-13 in 2013 which authorizes certificates and the use of commercial paper as an interim financing source in an amount not to exceed $508 million. the certificates will be use in part to repay the commercial paper issued to date as well as finance the remaining portions of the projects. the project is currently in the second phase and will increase the overall square footage of moscone north and south by 371,000 gross square feet through the construction of a new three storey building, a new bridge across hauer street and a bridge for internal access queen

moscone north and south for convention uses. it's anticipated that portions of the moscone property itself will serve as collateral for the certificates to secure the city's repayment obligations under the project lease. again, under current market conditions, the office of public finance expects to issue -- with a rate of 4.3% which results in average annual $28 million over 30-year termed. i'd like to note in 2013 the moscone financial district was established to secure that two-thirds of the certificates will be paid from assessments levied on hotel businesses. a portion of the moscone assessments will be dedicated to the certificates. i'm available to answer

questions on the financing and brought you here the project manager on the moscone project to answer any questions. >> do you have any questions? all right, we'll go to public comment. any member of the public feel free to speak. seeing none, public comment is closed. matter is in the hands of the body. is there a motion? >> i make a motion to pass on committee with positive recommendation. >> we'll take that motion without objection. thank you, next item. >> agenda item number seven is a resolution authorize the recreation and parks department to apply for a grant of $245,000 from the california state dment of forestry and fire protection for state greenhouse gas reduction funding to carry out an urban forestry project. >> good morning. i'm [inaudible] with the recreation park capital division. i'm here today to request your recommendation to the board of
