medium public relations for oci here today to present item 5d fod.first some background. the current oci sight has been hosted on the city of san francisco's template since the existence of the agency in 2012. over the past 5.5 years the website was deemed outdated and in need of an overhaul. it's been hard for a lot of members of the public and oci staff identify if i the documents they are looking for and easy too get lost an our site as you guys probably all know.
8:01 am
as a government agency we are supposed to be serving the public and this is what this revamp is to get the information out there as fast and efficient as possible. we set down with the major goals that we wanted to achieve. here is a quick outline about what we are trying to achieve, so we are looking for more service-based easily navigable with affordable housing resources and public information especially. getting more organized. we talked about a clickable map which you can hover over and click on our projects. our site is so inundated with writing and type face and that trend has shifted to a more
8:02 am
modern look and document archives so we can get all the documents to be more well archived and easily accessible and a tool embedded in the website. lower case productions is a san francisco based small business enter price, micro, local business enter price and they are prior working experience with oci and san francisco redevelopment agency. that means they desig designed e transbay requests for documents dating back almost ten years ago so they havago.
8:03 am
they have worked with local government and they know what we are about. they have extensive gog of the city's management system and this is crucial because the new website will be on drupple so that will save some time and is an easier migration. i will move on to a few examples of the lower case's portfolio. this is a piece designed by them in 2014. it's very clear and you can see the detailed map on the left and the right and you can see each
8:04 am
project with a rendering, just to give you an idea of how their design works and the work they have done in the past. moving forward this is public work's home page. you can cycle through the images and right there it has easily identifiable menu links and this is something that we are trying to emulate emulate and move tows because right now our site looks nothing like this. another example is the office of expect planning. you get to the landing page and it's hard to feel lost because all that information is right there as you are going too the
8:05 am
site. this is the contract terms. commission approve will authorize a personal services contract with lower case protections in an amount not to exceed $100,000 for web development services to revamp the oci website. work will commence meetly and will terminate after completion of face it is i and ii. phase i from fiscal year 2017-2018 funding and that will tackle the side scrub so they will go in and determine how to
8:06 am
best migrate it to the platform and there will be contract strategy involved. i think we are going to go through and figure out if we can do things better and communicate with the public better. last part of phase 1 is information architecture. phase ii is coming from fiscal year 2018-2019 and there will be a lot of back and forth with our staff and lower case's to make sure that we are getting what we want and they are able to provide that and there will be focus groups helds and things of that nature so members of the staff will be making those eggs decisions not just a small number of people. they will train relevant oci
8:07 am
staff to make sure we have an idea how to update in an easier manner. the work will commence tomorrow with general on boarding if the submission approves the contract and by august 1 we would like to have a phase i scope of services on the way to being completed and the fall we will have focus groups and provide feedback. that will be the longest part of that process because it's determining what we want on this site. winter, spring, 2019 engineering the site and starting to get fuller mock-ups and frames and then summer they will train us
8:08 am
how to make the updates to the overhauled site. fall 2019 we plan on launching a modern day website. looking at a 12 month to 15 month buildout. that concludes my presentation. i will be happy to answer any questions and jennifer from lower case is right here and she will be doing the technical questions if you have them. thank you very much. >> chair mondejar: thank you m max. are there any speaker cards? >> >>clerk: no speaker cards madame chair. >> chair mondejar: we will close public comment. mr. singh. commissioner singh. >> commissioner singh: i am not very good at the computers but what is that system?
8:09 am
>> drupple is a content management system thinking that you see online is hosted by a content management system and drupple is one that the city currently employs and it's a template that is very customizable. you don't have to follow exactly what drop tells yowhat drupple . our current site is on drupple. if we were to switch to a word press site, the buildout takes longer and that will slow down the process.
8:10 am
>> chair mondejar: commissioner bustos. >> commissioner bustos: this is long overdue. i have had trouble navigating through the website. i am excited about it, so with that comes expectations. you have heard me talk about the wow factor. i would love for us to have a wow factor that when people come on to our will be site they are going to be so wowed by not only the visuals but the content and it will make people want to visit frequently. jennifer as you guys are all thinking about this, know that is something i think this commission is going to be looking for is the wow and i think that is something that will be good for you as a showcase when you go to bid for other projects to be able to say whicthis is what we did for ocid
8:11 am
city and county of san francisco that is a wow that would encourage people to come back to a website over and over again for information. i hope we are able to do that. >> we can going to do our best. as time goes by and we are moving to the actually design process; we would love to have you involved in that process as well. we will send you mock-ups and you can put in your two cents as well so we make sure we are doing what you would like us to do. >> i like the topics o that are easily navigable. i am assuming we are going to do links to mayor's office of housing? >> oh, yeah.
8:12 am
>> i think a lot of people when they hear the mayor's office of housing they sometimes throw up their hands and say oh my god that is too much information and it would be nice if we could be not a carbon copy of what they have or a simple link but maybe a little more showcasing or distinguishing what we offer. >> the mayor's office of housing is on the template all of these agencies have to follow the same constraints on we are remember site. when you go to the site and you see the golden gate bridge and that template. we will be able to go away from that. we will having something cleaner and more of a wow factor and you will able to find how to apply for affordable housing.
8:13 am
>> chair mondejar: first of all, finally, we have bee have been g for this, so appreciate that and a lot of thought that seems has gone into this, but i would like to make suggestions. i have been asking for sample of art work. you know all of the art work within ocii and the redevelopment agency i would love to have a list of where are these beautiful art pieces within the ocii redevelopment properties and then the community, the open spaces. i met a young man an for some reason he knows where the open
8:14 am
spaces are, seriously, he was still in high school and his mom said talk to him he has been to this and he showed me on his phone all the open spaces, so it would be one place to have that because after all it's part of this project and i think it's important that we have at least a list and maybe a nice active map where there are dots of where it is because we spent a lot of money on this and our developers have also done that and it's something to be proud of. i hope that we can incorporate that and somehow be interactive. i don't know if we need to add more money. >> the 100,000 was a contingency
8:15 am
of 14, 980 built in so if we are participating of wanting to add things so trying to prepare as beas possible. to your point about the list of art work, i will have to have aa conversation with jennifer, that would be just adding another doubt. that would be good. >> chair mondejar: a wow factor we can actually find things and find the documents and the information tor link to where we need to be instead of trying to go through so many. you know what it's lining and then you forgot where you started because you have so many pages in your computer you forgot where you started. of course the information the good things that we are doing
8:16 am
that this commission has been doing through the years that would be great if we are being proactive and so i know that you are going to be on top of this mr. barns, so we are looking forward to this oversight and working with lower case productions and so thank you. we need a exhaustion to approve this. moved by commissioner singh and seconded by commissioner rosales. please call the role. [roll call] >> >>clerk: the vote is four aye
8:17 am
is. >> chair mondejar: motion carried now go to work. please call the next item. >> >>clerk: agenda item 5e. establishing classifications of positions and compensation schedules for successor agency staff and establishing authority for appointment to and vacation from positions under said classifications and other matters (discussion and action) (resolution no. 31- 2018) >> chair mondejar: thank you. this item is almost cleanup has been part of usual annual review. we came across some classifications that were not tying properly to the cd classification, so we thought as part of the annualcess to make these amendments and then with suggesting other changes and
8:18 am
addition to classification does not impact the budget that you have approved by cleans up the salary ordinance or the schedules. with that i will turn it over to april ward to present on this item. >> thank you director. good afternoon chair mondejar. today i too man come before youe approve establishing classification of positions and compensation schedules for successor of agency staff for positions under said classifications. to give you a brief overview my presentation will include a background and history of ocii salaries, proposed salary charts and changes and additions, and depdepartmental scope.
8:19 am
the currently salary has a compensation schedule plan that relates to each classification and benchmark salaries to the city. [. [reading] ing] establishes the rate for represented employees that have been negotiated. it also represents the unrepresented staff for salaries to match the salary rules and ordinance as well. negotiations are held between ocii executive management staff, local, and representatives. the salary resolution comes with
8:20 am
ocii salary chart that provides the salary rates listed in biweekly, hourly as well as extended range in play fo pay. the salary chart is required by calpers to be made publicly available on ocii website. approval to correct five classification salaries benchmarked to city and county of san francisco with current incumbent employees on our salary chart. second, changes of the scope of duty for work of two classifycations, human resources manager and add principle analyst.
8:21 am
on the chart you can see the salaries between a and b. while we were presenting for the cost of living increases for staff, we came across abnormalities of five classification salaries not comparable with the city and county of san francisco. because of this we sought adistance and he found the same findings that we found. because we have incumbents in these five we wanted to keep them the same. for these five classifications the proposessed salary charts are listed as line a and b. line a for employees that were hired before june 30, 2018 and
8:22 am
line b will indicate for employees hired after july 1, 2018. we net with local 1021 and 1041 and explained how this will not hurt those in this classification. [ reading] the next item we are seeking approval on is scope of work. the human resources manager is based on disillusion and position overseeing the hr department and administrative
8:24 am
in addition, it's needed because of the realignment duties of the human resources manager that will increase the scope of work and duty performed. disposition will assume some of the duties of the human resources manager. your approval of the salary resolution i effective july 1, 2018 is recommended. thank you. >> chair mondejar: do you have any speaker cards? >> >>clerk: no speaker cards. >> chair mondejar: since we don't have any requests to speak i will close public comment. any comments or questions from fellow commissioner. commissioner singh?
8:25 am
>> commissioner singh: i just want to know can you tell me the salaries are on this? >> average salary range for the five positions we are talking about range from as long as $150 to at least $1,150. >> commissioner singh: comparab? >> yeses the. each tied to comparable city and we saw these were off so hired outside analysis to come in and look at our work and they agreed
8:26 am
the same and we didn't want to harm the employee so we created a line b to project the employee for line a so they would not be stuck at this salary and will get the cost of living increase along with the other staff. i hope that answers you question. >> commissioner singh: okay. >> >> commissioner rosales: tha. i just had a question. am i reading this correctly that there is 101 positions? >> correct. they are not all filled. >> >> commissioner rosales: that was my next question. i just want to know what is our current how many employees? >> 151. >> >> commissioner rosales: fulm e? >> one or two that are part-time. >> >> commissioner rosales: so we have approximately

or future website. this is really, this type of information, that the public needs to know. and that, so they will be able to go to our website currently as it is, but at least our twitter feed and our facebook page so that, and thank you, please keep us abreast and we need to let the public know we are doing our best to make sure that the safety of the residents of, and the workers of the shipyard are taken care of. thank you, madam director. >> please call the next item. >> next order of business is item 9, commissioner's questions and matters. madam chair. >> yes, commissioner bustos. >> commissioner bustos: i want to publicly acknowledge we have a mayor-elect who actually sat on this board as a member of the redevelopment commission. and who understands our work intimately. it was actually at that time commissioner breed and myself
8:33 am
and commissioner king and commissioner singh to allow the certificates of preference passed on so more people could come to san francisco, come back to their roots and i would love for us through the director to send a note of congratulations to the mayor-elect from the body that she once sat on and then maybe we could all sign it. i think that would be a nice little touch for us to be able to let her know we are still here, and that we are still doing the good work. so, i would like to acknowledge that publicly, i hope we can do that. >> commissioner bustos, yes, congratulations to mayor-elect london breed. maybe do it better and meet up with former commissioner, london breed and new mayor-elect london breed. thank you. any other commissioner -- >> i was there with her in sunset district on last
8:34 am
thursday, so it's, you know, we open up our office there. >> you were -- >> yeah. >> which office was this? >> london breed, sunset office. >> oh, yeah. >> what you call the campaign office. >> the campaign office, yes, thank you. >> thank you. any other comments? >> i have a question. unrelated. >> but i see that mr. lee is not here i'll ask it anyway, and perhaps get an answer later. does -- does this commission or the prior redevelopment agency, did it have any policy, small business policy that was applicable to our tenants? the tenants -- not our tenants, but the tenants in our developments? like, let's say --
8:35 am
>> i'm sorry, for tenants improvements, no? never? >> it depends on the particular project, but for the most part, the obligations of the builder of the project are for the owners' improvements as distinct from tenant improvements that come in later by a third party or another party that is either leasing or possibly even buying the condo in a building. so, for the most part, it's the owner's obligation to comply with s.b.e. and that's where we have direct enforcement. there is a question, i suppose, where the owner is building what is finishing certain areas, what might otherwise be considered tenant improvements, but the owner will occupy it. our position would be in that
8:36 am
case the owner was duly obligated to follow the s.b.e. requirements for contracting and work force. but in the true tenant improvement context, we don't, our policies don't extend that far. >> ok. maybe, and we can talk -- i'm not sure i caught that second tier that, i understand the owner part, but i thought -- i might have heard you say something, maybe an exception to the general rule or the general policy or positions that the owner does not dictate to tenants essentially how to, any policy regarding using small businesses or local hire for their build-out? >> right. and we don't require it in our policies. >> but is there a possibility, i thought i might have misunderstood you, might be a room under certain circumstances where the owner would -- would
8:37 am
be subject? >> owner is building indirectly for their event occupancy. >> for their eventual occupancy, that's the part i missed, ok. >> i mean, we would interpret that situation to be covered by s.b.e. >> i've got it, thank you. >> thank you. should we call the next item, please? >> next order of bids, closed session, no closed session item. and the next is 11, add jourm t jourment -- adjournment. >> i now close the meeting, 2:39 p.m.
8:38 am
>> good morning, i want to give a special welcome to mayor ferrell, and supervisor sheehy and san francisco general hospital and this incredibly special place ward 86. it is special for so many reason. it has played such a pivotal historic role in addressing the hiv-aids epidemic and now in ending the same epidemic and very excited to welcome mayor ferrell to this podium to
8:39 am
address the group on this very wonderful day. >> thank you dr. ehrlich. i want to thank everybody for joining us here today and i want to thank dr. ehrlich and all the staff here at san francisco general hospital and for hosting us here today. this hospital, our city in particular where we have been through the aids crisis dating back to the 1980s and it is fitting that we are hereth to and to highlight your continuing commitment to fighting the epidemic. our lawmakers community leaders, providers and advocates and many of whom are standing here with me today we are closer than ever to getting to our goal. zero new infections, zero
8:40 am
deathst and zero stigma. in 2016 we had a report low of 223 new hiv infections in san francisco. these accomplishments are the result of strategic investments in prevention, treatment and social services that we will continue here in the city of san francisco. this requires a sustained commitment to funding in our city, which is why since 2012 the city has backfilled more than $12 million in federal hiv cuts. today our spending approaches $60 million every single year, but we have a lot more to accomplish. we have to reduce december decer parties between the african-american and latino community. this discussion will highlight and help those in youth
8:41 am
communities, lgbftg community. includes 2.8 million to offset cuts made through the federal center for disease control. these support prevention programs and increased community access to testing an linkage across the community. also includes 1.4 million to support getting to zero. this will increase prep outreach and navigate outreach and employment for those with hiv. these are critical to ending hiv and aids here in fran. i am can feel that the people behind me and the working
8:42 am
working here in san francisco, researchers, providers and members of our community women puwillput these funds to good u. i want to bring up someone that is a former colleague and also a friend but the first time i got to know this individual is because he was an advocate for getting to zero and a leader for that move. here in san francisco when i was budget chair, we had earnest and strong conversations about the topic, but i have not met a more convincing and a more proactive advocate getting the zero than that individual. i want to welcome supervisor jeff sheehy. [applause] > >> this is the first time i have
8:43 am
been back here since being appointed by mayor lee, so it's a special moment. this was the first outpatient hiv clinic in the country and some of the people are still here and still working 30 years plus into the epidemic. the very first patients who came in, none of them made it out. there are stories of people will tell of the doctors and nurses and caregivers sitting around the table and everybody crying because there was nothing they could do. this place has special meeting because it's the place where getting to zero is hatched. we made substantial progress and couldn't have done it without the support of the city, mayor lee and now mayor ferrell. i really want to thank mayor
8:44 am
ferrell for his commitment that goes back to being on the board for the finance committee the idea of no new hiv infectionst and no hiv deathst and no stigma, people thought we didn't know what we were talking about, but the great thing is we did get new tool. we did find out that if somebody who manages to control hiv in their blood undetectable, so there is no hiv detected that they cannot pass the virus on to someone else who is not hiv positive, that is an amazing thing. undetectable equals uninfectious. we had the tool that shows if you take this pill every day and you don't have hiv, you are greater than 95% protected against infection.
8:45 am
in fact at kaiser since they have implemented this and thousands of patients later, they have yet in san francisco to see an infection. if you do both at the statement, you test them, treat them successfully until they are undetectable and reach out to everybody and get them on pre prophylaxis, you can send the epidemic and that is the program that we have been doing. first of all, getting this funding to sustain this effort is huge because as people and many folks behind me are involved in this consortium, there are communities that we are still not reaching both in terms of testing, in terms of treating and getting on pre exposure prophylaxis. this is the hard work now.
8:46 am
thank you to president obama and the affordable care act which pays for these treatments but the hard slog is talking to people who historically have not had good access to the health care system and historically experienced disparities. we will be bring r. bringing people into the health care sim system who have not been served by it. hiv is the gate waisway. we will be able to treat a whole bunch of symptom. i want to give a salute to the department of public health, the finest in the country. i am so proud of the work that we do this tremendous institution. dr. ehrlich is here. i worked here and i couldn't get treated here because this hospital serves the under the
8:47 am
served and has historically done that, so if you didn't have insurance you were here, but they didn't take insurance. these are the best doctor. people don't realize we have the finest docks, they have ucf doc. they come with the best credentials in the country and they come here to serve those that suffer the greatest disparity. i want to thank the mayor for not only getting to zero but the bacbackfills because we have toe able to continue to test and link people to care. i want to thank everybody for being here. it's emotional being back here and it's the first time i have been back on this ward since i left and became supervisor.
8:48 am
i want to salute the people that work onward 86 and work at my hospital. they are my hero. thank you. [applause] i need to introduce the next speaker. i would like to introduce dr. thomas aragon. >> good morning, how is everyone? my name is dr. thomas aragon, i am the public health officer in the city of san francisco and i grow up in this neighborhood. in 1988 i started clinical training here so i am very proud to be here today as your health officer. in san francisco in the department of public dealtdeparr
8:49 am
approach is based on embodying and promoting universal dignity and equity for all. our new mission statement is protect health and well-being for all in san francisco. our vision, making san francisco the healthiest place on earth. mayor mark ferrell and my district supervisor jeff sheehy. what's up. sorry. embody and promote these values and the biggest champions of making san francisco the healthiest place on earth. we owe a huge gratitude to them. yoheard about the racial
8:50 am
disparities. in african-american men it is 2.5 higher and for latinos it is 2.1 higher and our campaigns we are goin doing. when you have a chance look at some of these amazing posters. this was done with a lot of work doing ethnographic research in the community and figuring out how to do this from a strength-based perspective. john melacar is leading this effort at the department of public health. first san francisco deemploys a world class syringe access and
8:51 am
disposal program because it is the best evident-based practice that reduces syringe sharing among persons and reducing hiv, hepatitis c and hepatitis b. second, for reducing risk of infection from syringes they are the most important group to reduce infections because they have the highest risk of getting multiple pathogen. i want to end by reminding us by keeping the prevalence of infection as low as possible by persons who inject are important to all of us and moves us toward
8:52 am
our vision of making fran the healthiest place on earth. thank you. [applause] >> my name is himen scott. i am a physician here and i moved to san francisco to train and work at ucsf to work at this clinic, so i am a proud provider here and i am proud of the staff -- here we take care of patients living with hiv and at risk for hiv offering prep. i started a young african-american on prep who moved to san francisco and heifehadnever heard of it. he heard about it from his friends and sex partner. this is the power of how networks and friends and
8:53 am
families and partners can influence individual's uptake of prep. i think campaigns are a great way to encourage this conversation and prep is more than taking a pill. it's a program and for this young man we were able to get him connected to primary care and get him his vaccinations and ensure he had other support he needed, access to housing and case math and some structural barriers that african-american and latino man are facing on a daily base. basis. the prep navigation was supported by the getting to zero program and our navigators communicate with this patient almost daily when he initiated prep in an effort to keep him on help. we have seen several zero
8:54 am
conversions particularly among afric.we have seen this challenh uptake and pir cis tense and staying on prep and the getting to zero campaigns are in place to support these individuals staying in care, so i along with the navigator text with my patient frequently to help him stay engaged and meeting him where he is and i think that is the ethos for all the work that we do here and not just forcing people into a system that might not work for them but trying to change the system so it does work for them because we want to help people stay in care whether living with hiv or wanting to access prep. i want to turn the podium over to diane halvelier for remarks
8:55 am
and closeout. >> good morning. i am diane halvelier and i am a professor and physician and have been working in the aids response since the epidemic. people come from all over the world to see our beautiful city. people from the health world come from all around the world to see getting to zero. as you heard getting to zero is an imwish effort to get to zero new infections, zero deaths from hiv and zero stigma and we have set a target of 90% reductions by 2020 an 2020 about less than0 infections per year. this was launched by many of the people standing up here in 2013 when we met together at the lgbt
8:56 am
center and realized we could do more with strategy and coordination across sectors. when we launched getting to zero, we had a first few flagship programs and the first was expanding prep. we also have a program where we are trying to strengthen care, people who have fallen out of care and we need to welcome them and we sponsor add progra sponsm called rapid. between the time someone gets tested and they start care they fall out of the system. here right down the hall, ground
8:57 am
zero for hiv care, we started a rapid program where we offer treatment on the same day that people are infected with hiv. this is good for the individual and keeps them healthier and reduces transmission. dr. coffee, the director is standing at the back of the room and i'm sure would love to answer any question. last week i was at the united nations at a meeting for for geneva and one of my colleagues who runs the program in ban rock. they startebangkok.they startedr results are better than ours and it shows you the exten extent ad impact we are having. back to san francisco are we getting results from getting to zero? i think we do have.
8:58 am
we have 50% in reduction. contrast that to the united states where over 6 years we only had 16% reduction. it is going to get harder because we are going to need to address disparities in our city. everyone knows about these and that is where this funding is so important because this funding is going to be target as you heard on prevention and treatment for populations that are disproportionately affected by the epidemic including african-americans, transgender, hihispanicings and transgendered youth. just to step back and summarize and say this funding is crucial because of the status quo we are not going to make it and secondly this funding reflecting
8:59 am
the values of our city. finally, this funding is going to benefit the citizens of our city, but also the hiv community around the world and for that you are fulfilling your service to others and we ever deep gratitude, so thank you very much. [applause] >> that's it everyone. the press conference is over and i think all of us would be happy to answer any questions on the side. thank you.
