mparing institute on aging that ss 220 clients and 28 ients. for the elderly i'malking about o2 clients, ok? and the difference is like i calls, institute on aging per client costs 7,741. self-help for the elderlys 5897. i'm just wondering why there is such a big direpancy. >> so i think, ah iou thinkave the right sort of initial, initial perspective of it. looki a likea widget production economics thing. but whate h t o ou challenges on the oe on aging to balance cos providing servicesraphcally and diverse population possibl so, we do that by contracting with ancs through t city wav difrentgtpoputionsd
6:25 am
eciaspies ahi that. and when you bring in alldiffen sudden the costs are different from one agency to the ne and so 's, that's a g somepleeoillave long-termysho have ee there very long and are salaries thange younger staff, the beginning. people own their ownuilding or e their rents and costs are lower. some people, institute on aging went an built their own buildings so they have a he in the city for awhile. soo balance a those. now, when we go through our rfp prs,eask, where we first ask our reviewers, our panels to say let's get some points. are these costs in line wi the other prs,alare they high are they too high, we try give some d i
6:26 am
imagine in the rfp process, they could scorette s give points to what the agencies brin the contract themselves,hekin in the game, any function they are ran. so we do try to reward those resf that, a,. they all bring their different costs. when it thrgh to the contract negotiation process, we tr to bringhe a range of reasonableness, you are n t trur client type of standard across all the contracts. >> vice president derstand the each y, ok and just agi hassubcontracith nstitu others to provide cin
6:27 am
langges, ok. i'm jus wondering for programs like they want to serve all picple the can -- they have to, they don't have -- not cantonese, so they have to subcontract with another agency. i'm just wondering whether the office on aging has kind of, encourage agencies to hide people that speak the language, their clientetter and this way they don't, because if you can subcontract with another agency, they have to put in the cost. >> we do. we do. and first, we get points the fpr ringh , cultural and languace t provider bringing in languages. it's going to, for hire than the agency that might not have as many languages or no languages. we also pite o our
6:28 am
funding when we did our awares to ensure that we are providing theservices. i can tell you within this resale award o contracts, we had some dollars we were able to and we have learned that we have quite a wait list around spanish-speaking clients, so, this is one we are able to reallocate dollars and add another spanish-speaking case manager to the -- to the cohort of our case managers. now, we know, we ak that people, we also try to provide services as quickly as possible. so, also are working on providing language support and other translation services to our providers so that they can bridge any lanehatmigh also st. >> and commissioner loo, institute on aging has been dilige in hiring a diverse
6:29 am
array of workers who speak a lot of languages, so they don't- so actually they do have workers who speak variou languages. the other thing is that we pp our organizations, i guess, references around salaries and sf our organizations have different salary structures from others. and so sometimes that's what drives the differences in terms of cost of case ge >> i don't know if it was i -- >> it's a complex question, there's no answer. >> you know, we can -- to be clear, the ioa in house with the case manas, it not a subcontracted languagor them. >> vice president loo: thank you. >> president serina: any other comments or questions of the common? comments or questions from the public? yes. please. >> just want to share with you -- my name is esther. somee gthnt renewal
6:30 am
questions of variations and how case managing is done anhed t case load, often times now we go be unionized.ith nonprofits so this is providing services through nonprofits who have to retain and recruit the same in a way that is reasonable for our people. and so now we are unionized, we are confronted with that, we have to look at our case load, we have to look at tay, so is before you probably in the next cycle or rfp. it's going around for a lot of folks and it is, we do believe in providing good labor employment philosophy toward our staff and ts important. something to provide also good service and qualityservice, you have to have good case load that is manageable as you are looking at what that is. so, just want to add that. >> thank you. >> president serina: thank you. any other comments or questions

6:33 am
really doing fundraising and all the other -- and in kind to subsidize programs, and i realize two programs,is one of them, and komoji is the other one that do not have a lot of in kd and fundraising to subsidheprogram. so, just give you example -- i'm just wondering whether the office on aging should really have asked all the agencies to put in the extra costs like how much they do fundraising, etc., and like the nutrition program, every cost is line out, line out. so, i'm just wondering whether th wld be a good time to bring this up, agencies, because if you don't put in the other
6:34 am
expenses, it does not reflect the extra cost of the program. >> i do know in the rfp proposals there is an opportunity in their budget narrative to talk about other funding streams and fundraising. there isn't operating costs but there was in the proposal. maybe they -- >> commissioners, director of contracts. so, there is a movement city-wide, looking at full costs for nonprofits and there's a recognition that because of the high rents and issues around retention of staff that a lot of agencies are struggling to meet and kind of an ask for the city to meet full costs. i think with our competitive bids we ask various cbos to put
6:35 am
forward the proposals, and so they put forward their amounts, they figure out what they want to account, what they want to allocate to what between staff, operating costs, any capital costs, so we operate from what they bid. i think we can look at it if there is something unusual. i think you notice every once in agency does not put an indirect rate or have operating, and so we can look at that. we are also, we are also looking at how weeun agencies. weally have a limited pot of money and sometimes we are operating from people particularly incumbent agencies e getting roughly the same share of funding that they had before. i think as mentioned in this case, there was an increase to this contract so we could bring it up to one full f.t.e., but we had not looked at them not having the operating costs as part of that. >> thank you. y other comments or questionou. >> i would just say, too, that
6:36 am
if you look back historical to the recession when the agencies budgets were cut by 30%, they had to out of necessity to maintain staff and programs, they had to beef up fundraising so it became part of they're culture. and yes they are struggling with the issue of not only displacement because of the affordability of rents but retention of staff as so, htsff the agencies for what they are doing. but i think that thats consideration that needs to be taken seriously. >> president serina: thank you. some agencies have been established a lot longer and y haveerly wider reputation and recognition and therefore, fundraising is easier for them, for example, meals and wheels, country wide agency, and so their ability to raise funds
6:37 am
is very high, whereas some of the other agencies are specialized and tared don't have that, those options or have not attained them yet. very good question. thank you. comannts or questions? comments or questions from the public? hearing none, call the questis. estion. , opposed, thank you, the motion carries. item t. requesting authorization to enter into a new grant agreement with kimochi for the provision of case management to services with seniors and adults with disabilities for july 1, 2018, to june 30, 2021, in the amount of $386,139, plus a 10 contingency for total grant amount not to exceed $424,752. welcome back, monte. may have i have a motion to discuss? >> so moved. >> president serina: thank you, monte. >> kimochi case management program in japan town in san

6:39 am
communit thaterving. we do do a lot of fundraising at kimochi. we are not a large organization, i think by the standards you see with some of the organizations that you are contracting today, but we are very much needed by the target populations that we serve. and much of the services that we provide we cannot also refer to outside agencies for assistance, so we really do have toelp the clients completely. case management is an important part of that, and we hope that in the future we might be able to extend and expand and increase the funding that ceromhe department, but i do want to say that we do appreciate the support and fundraising is also getting much, much more difficult, and staff retention is a huge issue for our agency but we are trying to maintain a reasonable budget for the department to consider. but it is getting tougher for all of us here so i'm hoping that in the future the
