whoo -- happy to amend the supplemental down from 1.5 million to 1.1 million, and colleagues, i'm asking for your support. it will provide a tremendous amount of relief, and it is not inconsistent with the positions of this board of supervisors. >> president breed: supervisor kim has made a motion. is there a second? seconded by yee. colleagues, can we pass the amendment without objection? without objection, the amendment passes. supervisor safai? >> supervisor safai: i just wanted to call director stringer back up again because i heard something different from supervisor kim than what you had just said. so these are temporary positions. and has money been identified to make these positions permanent? >> i'm not aware of as of yet? >> supervisor safai: so we would be voting on these temporary positions without the undering that there is permanent money for these positions as of today?

>> as of today. >> supervisor safai: okay. thank you. >> president breed: supervisor kim, supervisor cohen is on the roster. >> supervisor kim: oh, sorry. >> president breed: thank you. supervisor cohen? >> supervisor cohen: thank you. which is -- to put a finer point on what supervisor safai was saying is all the reason why we need to go through the budget process and look at this in a more fuller context. i'd also like to bring in the budget legislative analyst into this discussion who has given an opinion that we heard in the -- in the budget committee. i want to welcome harvey rose -- or i'm not sure who's going to be speaking, but i wanted to be sure there's clarification. in the original statement that supervisor kim wrote, there's going to be 40 full-time employees. but today we've heard different. i don't know if you could give

us clarification. >> yes. president breed? >> president breed: mr. rose. >> president breed, members of the board, supervisor cohen, our report identifies that there would be approximately 41,150 hours of public service aides, and we do identify that these would be temporary positions. it would be the approximate equivalent of 19.8 full-time positions. it is my understanding they would work over the course of one year to expend that 41,150 hours for a total cost of 1.6 million. our report also identifies the community grants, the materials and supplies, and the equipment for a total of $2.5 million. since there is a supplemental appropriation, we are consistent in advising the board that we consider it to be a policy matter to the board. i'd be happy to respond to any

questions. >> president breed: thank you. i appreciate you taking a moment to answer the questions. so i think that at this point, the -- still, the budget process is the most appropriate meenoo to continue to have this discussion, particularly if we're talking about wanting to see long-term effects. long-term effects are in my mind related to strategic thinking and long-term employment. so i think it is laud believe that we went down from 2.2 million to 1.1 million, but i think the appropriate place for us to continue this process is in the budget process. >> president breed: thank you, supervisor cohen. supervisor kim? >> vice president brandon: i just want to reiterate to the board in a 9-1 vote, in 2014, we allocated 1.3 million to the homeless outreach team. homelessness is always a crisis. this board voted 9-1 to pass

that supplemental appropriation. and we did not know if that money would become permanent three months later, and yet we did it because we thought that it was such a crisis on our streets that we need to expand the number of workers and mental health outreach workers that were addressing homelessness. so again, this very board, many, many, many members who were there in that year voted that in april of 2014, to expand our homeless program, without any guarantee that we would keep those jobs permanent. now mr. stringer, i have to ask realistically what is the likelihood that these positions will remain permanent? >> you mean transition into permanent jobs? >> supervisor kim: transition into termnent. >> realistically, probably 50% may transition. that might be the best case

scenario. i think i would have to consult with my budget manager to determine what we could support or transition from 99-16's into permanent or nonprofit into apprenticeship. >> supervisor kim: and how often do we hire temporary workers to fulfill this need at the city? >> could you repeat? >> supervisor kim: how often do we provide temporary labor for additional street cleaning services? >> we interview every two weeks at hsa, and provides anywhere from ten to 15 positions. >> supervisor kim: temporary positions? >> temporary positions. >> supervisor kim: so this is actually the normal starting hiring process, is that you hire folks temporarily and after a period of time, if they kind of meet certain standards, you move them into your apprenticeship program for permanent full-time work? >> given adequate funding, yes.

>> okay. great. i just think that's important for members of our board to understand that this is in some ways the practice of our public works, is to begin hiring workers on a temporary basis and then moving them into permanent full-time positions as funding is allocated. and what i heard from almost every member of this brs are t supervisors is that they're committed to expanding the number of workers on this board. thank you so much, mr. stringer. >> so colleagues, i've made the amendment that i made. i really plead with you if you're not supportive today of this allocation, as i mepgsed, our voters don't really begin when our fiscal year begin ends and starts, they just want to

see results now. these funds will get put into place immediately, and help give us additional resources not in august or september, but in april or may that's going to provide immediate relief for our tourists rngs or workers and our residents. and our residents don't understand the difference between fiscal year, july and may, they just want to see the services now. colleagues, i hope that you'll support the supplemental appropriation. colleagues, i ask for your support. >> president breed: thank you, supervisor kim. supervisor ronen? >> supervisor ronen: thank you. i just wanted to reiterate, this is a citywide issue without a doubt, and all of our iblth districts a districts are in need of additional cleaning, but i would say that some districts are harder hit than others, and what i would say as i walk

around my district, especially the mission, as well as the portola, i just don't think it's fair for our residents to deal with that for a single day, let alone two to three months -- we know this is a top priority for all of us in this city, then why not get started now when people are having to deal with human waste and use needles and other hazardous material on our streets. and for those districts that are harder hit or those neighborhoods that are harder hit than others, i also plead with you to let us make a

difference. >> -- ranging from landscape and agriculture maintenance to street cleaning, and we have about five firms in our cleaning program, and what we thought we would do and what the supplemental appropriation, how we had thought we would implement it would be to expand an existing nonprofit partner that we went through a competitive process to bring on board, and right now they're working for five days. we would expand that to seven days, and that seemed the most efficient way to do that.

>> so all of the nonprofit partners are only working for five days. >> for this program that was identified in the supplemental appropriation. >> but not in general? >> but not in general. >> supervisor cohen: and what about the positions? how would they be equally distributed throughout the city? i know that supervisor kim mentioned something as it relates to those particular hot spots where we know those are significant challenges. what does the data say as it relates to the need in different parts of the city because the position i hainfor mostly focused on the tenderloin, which we all know is in serious need of additional support and has been for many, many years. and the question i have is there are also other areas throughout san francisco, and how are we going to equally distribute the resources necessary and the supplemental necessary to address those issues in different parts of

the city. >> that and equity. we use the data to determine areas of the city, commercial corridors and the like in order to determine the distribution of resources so that it was equitiable across the entire city. >> supervisor cohen: but you have that data now? >> yes. >> supervisor cohen: -- >> president breed: so could you give us the information. >> i can give you just a sample, but i think we have a complete presentation on thursday. geneva mission comes to mind. >> well, we need to wait. >> i -- when i think about areas, fillmore comes to mind. there's several commercial corridors. i don't have -- we have 130 of them, so when i think about it, i think of areas where we don't currently have corridor workers; that we would like to

place them. >> so corridor workers as it relates to the dpw program and also working with nonprofit agencies to identify individuals to expand their particular programs. >> yes. >> okay. so i mean in terms of additional hours, do you have any idea of how many additional hours per week we're specifically talking about, and how much of an impact do you believe this would actually have on some of the challenges on our streets? would it be noticeable? would there be a noticeable difference? >> given -- it would depend on the given area. i would have to say that. some areas, we could deploy extra resources, and you would see a significant change. there might be other areas where we would deemploy the resource -- deploy the resources. >> and mr. stringer, you're out there on a regular basis, i know that for sure. could you give us specific

examples. you're responsible for allocating the resources for specific areas. and so what would be your plan, and where would you allocate those resources to, and where do you think they would make the most difference? >> there would be a resource allocation definitely to increase seven days a week in the tenderloin, which is one of our biggest challenges in the city. there would be some south of market, there would be some mission, there would be some in the bayview, there would be some in western addition, and there would be some probably out in the richmond. >> and then in terms of those specific areas, what are the ones that you believe won't necessarily make a big difference because of the challenges that you mentioned? >> well, the tenderloin is one of the most challenging areas that we have in the city, and parts of the mission, as well. and it can be bared out just by going out and seeing us do the

cleaning, and going out. if you don't have somebody constantly there, you'll continually have a challenge. and there are places where it will look like -- even though we've been there an hour ago, it'll look like we haven't been there. >> okay. and more specifically, was there a recommendation to provide more pit spots in a certain location to reduce feces in areas throughout the city? >> i don't know if it was in that particular proposal. >> it wasn't, but i was wondering if it was being addressed in particular issues around streen cleaning. i'm just wondering if that's something that might be a recommendation that's supposed to address this particular issue as well. >> there was both a recommendation for additional and also extended hours for the existing. >> so extended hours can be included for the pit stops for this particular -- for these

dollars allocated? >> not as is currently situated. >> okay. so supervisor kim, is there a reason why you didn't include the either extension of hours for the pit stops or an increase in the number of pit stops for this particular ask? >> that wasn't part of the ask that is before the commission. we're happy to add that if you'd like. i did to a supplemental allocation to expand the citywide pit stop program that this board actually considered, so if you would like, we can add extended hours for number of pit stops. a number of the pit stops that the district that i represent are now seven days a week. i know that's not the same for every pit stop, and i think it's a little bit dependent on the behavior, but if there's a specific pit stop you want to extend to seven days, we can

certainly consider that. >> president breed: well, i do know there is a serious need for public rest rooms and rest rooms specifically with attendants. it's actually worked well in the haight-ashbury community, but it's also been very challenging to identify locations because oftentimes as you probably know, people don't necessarily want these pit stops in front of their homes or their businesses, so identifying a specific location has been very challenging. but we don't have the data before us today to make an informed decision as to an increase in the number of hours or an increase in the number of pit stops, but i was just wondering just basically why that wasn't a part of the discussion. >> so right now, we're currently negotiating our contract with jc decaux, which provides public rest rooms throughout the city, and public

works has been renegotiating this contract and actually adding monitors to new jc decaux bathrooms throughout the city. and so we were going through that process and so that's why it's not part of the supplemental appropriation, and when the jc decaux contract comes before this board, we're going to see additional pit stops and additional monitors that will be committed to -- with that contract. >> president breed: okay. thank you for your explanation. supervisor kim? >> supervisor kim: i just wanted to say that we do already have the data on what the hot spots were, and you know -- sorry, mr. stringer that we put you on the spot to list all of them, but they do exist, there was a document that was released back in december that highlights all of the hot spots in the city and county of san francisco, and there's almost a district that doesn't have a hot spot corridor, whether it's mission and geneva, or the richmond.

we do know that the heart of pit stots are districted six, nine, and ten as supervisor ronen knows so well, but we do be want to prescribe how that money got spent down because i dchb wa did not want to appear that the supplemental favored one district or other. we wanted to give that decision making to public works to assess in the best decision how those funds get spent down. and i'm sure if supervisors call public works on a regular basis, as i know that i do and i believe many of my colleagues do, you will probably see particular attention to specific corridors with this additional funding. >> president breed: thank you. seeing no names on the roster, on the item, madam clerk, please call the role. >> clerk: as amended, madam president? >> president breed: yes.

[ roll call. ] >> clerk: there are six ayes and five noes. >> president breed: the ordinance passes on the first reading. madam clerk, please read the items for adoption without reference by committee reference [agenda item read]. >> president breed: supervisor yee? >> supervisor yee: item 53. >> president breed: okay. supervisor kim?

[ gavel ]. >> president breed: item 53 [agenda item read]. >> president breed: supervisor yee? >> supervisor yee: thank you, colleagues in support of this

resolution that will appear in this november 's ballot and will authorize the issuance of bonds in the amount of $4 billion to finance various existing housing programs as well as in-fill infrastructure financing and affordable housing, matching grant programs throughout the state. recently, we as a city had to prove support for affordable senior housing in my district. i have had to double down on my efforts to bring deeply affordable housing to my district and am currently working to bring another site forward. this state funding is an important part of the funding strategy to allow our city to equity jably distribute affordable housing throughout the west side. thank you to supervisors peskin, ronen and fewer for their sponsorship. i look forward to all of your support. >> president breed: thank you,

supervisor yee. colleagues, can we take this item, same house, same call? without objection, the resolution is adopted unanimously. madam clarke, are there any in memoriams? >> clerk: there's none before us. >> president breed: thank you, madam clerk. does that conclude our business for today? >> clerk: that concludes our business for today. >> president breed: thank you, everyone. we are adjourned.
