formal specific grant writer classification in the city's classification database. what we did was select what we felt was most appropriate class the 1823 senior administrative analyst given the high qualifications as well as the job duties. 1823 is used for different functions in the city financial, contract, but also grant on the administration side. we see work with the department of emergency management. a lot of those grants are 1823. we formally had a grant administrator position. this is a high level analytical position. we anticipate those skills would be appropriate for what we are looking for the function of this position. we talked about it last meeting

with regards to minimum qualifications in the job description. if you look at the description we outline a brief description of the position and what we are looking for to be as well as anticipated duties and functions of the position. there is also listed minimum qualifications. get back to that a little bit as well as desired qualifications of the position. the minimum qualifications are attached. for all 1823s regardless of function those are minimum qualifications. that being said we worked with dhr to find the flexibility with regards to the position. we have abilities to amend the desired qualifications and experience portion of this application. we included language with regard to relevant grant experience. we can expand that. we can include the special conditions on the applicants

where we can say, for example 18 months grant writing experience to apply. at the end of the day this will be open for all applicants. department when take receipt of resumes to interview did you candidates with the best experience and education to bring those individuals in for interviews. based on the feedback and discussion currently i it would be anticipated we a this job description and post it and open up for applications. happy to answer any questions. >> thank you very much. any public comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. commissioner covington. >> thank you for updating the description of the 1823 senior administrative analyst for the department which will be a grant

writer. i just have a couple of questions. i am wondering about the minimum qualifications. master's degree? do you know how many members of the department currently have master's degrees? >> uniformed members? >> all, any and all? >> i don't. i can find that information for you. >> for a grant writer, i am more interested in the person's ability to write a persuasive grant application and to get the funds rather than having a master's degree. i think that a lot of people would be able to do that without

an ma. i am particularly interested in current members or former members of the department who know firefighting, who know emergency medical services and therefore don't have a steep learning curve to conconvince grantters that the money we are applying for will be well used. i don't want to shut those folks out. did you say in your opening remarks that the department previously had a grant writing position and it was this 1823 position? >> it more grant administration

through homeland security and administering and monitoring the funds, but, yes, it was 1823. >> did that person have a master's degree? >> no. >> okay. it may act as a deterrent for people to apply. a lot of people with undergraduate degrees in marketing and other areas, public relations would really be suited to this position as well, i would think, rather than a master's degree in math or, you know, i don't know. engineering. >> if i may, commissioner covington. i agree the way it is laid out and this is done by the

department of human resources into the 1234 and stubbstution may be -- substitution may be off putting. if you read down further it should be modified. it is not a requirement that you possess a master's degree. >> i know. >> you don't need a bachelor's degree to apply. up to two years every choired education. you could have some college and two years experience. i agree the way it is written may be off putting. it is not a requirement to have a masters. i just wanted to clarify. >> i see that. it is the positioning that the grant writer is the positioning where in the order of things does my qualification come in?

for instance, i guess this would be on page 3, actually on page 2 desired qualifications and experience. it is all about budgeting and finance and all of that, and you have bulleted items 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and then item 7 says three to five years relevant grant writing grant administration experience. to me that is item number one. it is buried. i don't want to be labor this. i would like to just sit down with you, mr. core so, because you are well aware of the

parameters, you know what has to be here and what can be massaged. rather than doing it, you know, in the commission meeting perhaps you and i can just sit down. >> if i can address the question you started out with with regards to field experience and things of that nature and i talked to the chief nicholson about this. we are looking at moving towards a grants committee work group to take into account this position but also various job functions and members in the field to contribute experience and expertise to drafting take needs assessments and for providing the subject matter exper ties. we are trying to move with the additional resources more

comprehensive grant process. >> i am grad you mention that. i did make a note on ice tem70 page -- item 67 on was -- item 7 page one on the grant's committee. my questions are who is going to be on the grant's committee? when is the grant's committee going to be formed? does this new hire, does this person report to you and to the grants committee or is the grants committee simply a brain trust? >> i would say this position would report to me, and would be tasked with helping the coordination and also researching, following up with individuals who have -- depending on the scope of the grant proposal. doing research and putting together the proposals and

research and being able to assist all over the work flow of the committee. >> who do you anticipate the members of the committee would be? >> we would look at bringing in representatives from all operation all divisions and chief of homeland security, deputy chief of administration, training, myself as well as fire prevention, ims and other disciplines. >> how many times an year would this committee meet? >> probably at the minimum quarterly and depending on certain grant timeframes, certain grants we know when applications are due. that can be adjusted. those are the initial thoughts. >> yo anticipate a quarterly meeting. i thought you were going to say monthly. >> depending on work flow and

what timelines we are looking at. you. >> is there a budget to procure? there is a mention here of item 50 develop and maintain specialized data bases and systems for tracking perspective grant projects. i have so many notes here i can barely read the print. is there a budget for procurement of the programs that already exist that are used uniouniversally by grant writer? >> there is not. we would draw on the person's experience to get feedback and to determine internally if this is something that we could incorporate into our lure existing systems.

>> so someone that you think ask an excellent hire if they come on board they will be able to say i have in the past used these programs and this is how much it would cost? >> correct. we could say this is what we are looking for. in your experience have you encountered systems, software that would very much suit our needs and we would also do research on what products are available in general. >> thank you. i still would like to meet with you regarding this position. thank you. >> thank you commissioner covington. commissioner half demand. >> very complicated problem going on very long. great job. >> thank you, commissioner hardeman for putting this together. the commission is very interested and has been for some

time in having a grant writer focused ongoing out to get grants for the department in the areas we can't get enough money through the regular budget process. thank you for putting that together. i don't know if we need to formally adopt this grant writer job description, but i have one question. once you have candidates vetted by the dhr, do you make the ultimate decision or is it collective with you and the chief or what? >> this is an internal process for the most part. we would vet the candidates and whoever we chose to interview we would constitute a panel put together and have everybody score and set up question to bring individuals in for interviews. >> you will be on that panel.

>> i would anticipate it. >> who else would be on the panel? >> i will discuss with the chief. probably another two or three from the sad ministration. >> is it you permissible to have the commissioner on the panel. commissioner covington would be perfect if she would accept. >> thank you for noting my suit ability for the position. >> exactly. >> thank you, mark. appreciate it. would you call the next item. >> report on commission activities since last meeting on october 10, 2018. >> any public comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. commissioners do you have anything to report? commissioner covington your name is there. seeing none we will move on to the next item.

>> item 10 agenda for next and future fire commission meetings. >> any public comment on this item? public comment is closed. before the commissioners would you read off the items planned for the next several commission meetings. >> next month it is going to be the process for search for a chief. >> that is our priority. that is the commission's priority. >> adf presentation, ambulance deployment facility presentation. child settlement in closed session. amendments to discipline rules all scheduled for the next meeting. for the december meeting cancer prevention foundation i chief's appraisal. drone policy i training facility

search, then outstanding items we have the retrite action items, coastline resolution, 2019 meeting calendar. that is 1212. strategic plan update. a b31-15 update. mou with guardians of the city and that is all i have. >> thank you very much, madam secretary. commissioner hardeman. >> yes, just so we can get this on the agenda and reminder to the chiefs about that six minute video if you still feel that is appropriate. that would be i think just worthwhile for everybody to see. i thoroughly enjoyed it. i was channel surfing and was

watching captain and the chief and here comes chief rivera. it was very interesting. i enjoyed it. i hope everybody else does. >> thank you very much. i don't know if we called for public comment. public comment is open. public comment is closed. okay. thanks. you jumped in at the last minute before i was about to adjourn the meeting. >> this is item 9. did we skip item 9? i heard her read 9. i am not sure we moved past 9. >> yes, we did. >> you had the report and you didn't report? you missed your opportunity? >> i missed my opportunity. >> you snooze, you lose. >> we got a lot done.

i did want to sneak one in on this. i know we received in our packet a letter from local 798. i will follow up offline with questions in regards to that letter. it may be appropriate for a future meeting to get some information in regards to the concerns about the ems response times. >> thank you. >> no problem. >> item 11 adjournment. >> any public comment on this item? i hope everyone is eager to run four the door. public comment is closed. motion to adjourn? >> so moved. >> second. >> all in favor, aye. a.

heater our model home in south of market we'll use a simple kit interest the hardware stores from $20 it the the clean up itself single thing to do what necessary look like. >> this is what you'll find in our kit a inch and a half wide strap to attach to the wall around the water heater and so you want to compare this in some garages around the city and state which is called plumbers tape innovate as strong and we need to brace the water heater if you find this you'll want to replace it with a streetscaping kit. >> we've put blocking so that way we streetscape the water heater a nice fit it is important and important probation officer mention you need to move our water heater to

strap is it talk about to a license plumber they'll come out with a firm once we streetscape those obviously we want to follow the manufactures instructions. >> typically the instructions will require the strap one strap be installed to fit the top third of the water heater and the bottom on the bottom 1/3rd away from the controls if it is above a certain size 50 gallons a third train e streetscape in the middle of the water heater. >> a lot of time i see older water heaters on the ground obviously explain why this is required and the mr. chairman is required if you pa a water are hereto in the garage gas fumes

can accommodate and the pilot light will ignite the fumes so you want to above the grouped level. >> so why not go ahead and he get started with the bracing. >> we're joined with peter from construction he'll help us

i am the executive director of a local art space nonprofit that showcases work that relate to the latino community and i have been in this building for seven years and some of my neighbors have been here 30 year. we were notified from the landlord he was going to sell the building. when we realized it was happening it was no longer a thought for the landlord and i sort of had a moment of panic. i heard about the small sites program through my work with the mission economic agency and at met with folks from the mayor's housing program because they wanted to utilize the program. we are dealing with families with different needs and capacities.

conversations were had early in the morning because that is the only time that all the tenants were in the building and finally when we realized that meda did have the resources to buy the building we went on a letter writing campaign to the landlord and said to him we understand you want to sell your building, we understand what you are asking for and you are entitled to it, it's your land, but please work with us. what i love about ber nell height it represents the diversity that made me fall in love with san francisco. we have a lot of mom and pop shops and you can get all your resources within walking distance. my favorite air area of my homes my little small patio where i

can start my morning and have my coffee an is a sweet spot for me and i >> so thank you all for coming. this is a very exciting day, and the person behind what we're going to break ground on, so a big hand for joy oh. >> thank you, everybody for coming here today. we're so excited that we finally reached this milestone that we're moving into the second phase of this project. without your support and participation, we're not here

today, and i look forward to you to come to our grand opening at the end of 2020, when this project is completed. we're very excited to have mayor lee -- i'm sorry. mayor breed to -- and supervisor kim to be at our ground breaking today. i would like to first -- i'm trying to make this short and cover everybody, and this has -- it's been an effort to get to this point today, and i wanted to first thank you, thank my partner and investor that came all the way from asia, they came specifically for this ground breaking. chris chang, who represents c.d.c., continental development

corporation, from taiwan, and mr. ran, from shanghai. they are both very successful and socially responsible developers in asia. so i want to just mention a few names that help us get here today. one of them is the tenderloin housing clinic and randy shaw who actually hosted our bimonthly meetings in their office across the street from here, alongside with tndc and hospitality house. we -- the housing clippnic is going to help us provide a job training program to allow the residents in their projects to

learn the skill to work in the -- the hotel when we opened. so there are many parts of this project that we think we can contribute back to the community. one other significant thing, though, that the project is driving is we're taking 50% of the arts fee to allow the local nonprofits that service the tenderloin area, the program includes wild flower institutes hidden gem program, phase two, counter proposals, the turk and taylor project, and the lgbtq interpretive program, and also, the magic theaters arts program. so there's so many organizations that we worked with for the last four years to come to this

point. so of course, we're going to be building -- many years working with planning department, we're finally coming to an agreement to create this first modern flight iron building with a picture behind you, in front of you, in the intersection of midmarket examine tenderloin. we are -- midmarket and tenderloin. and i want to thank all of the arts designer involved in the project from hindal b.a.r. and o.s.a. we're standing on this platform, and this is built by, you know, our contractor. we are confident that we can get to the finish line under budget on time, right?

so there's leti. if you have any problems, he's the supervisor on-site. any questions you have, go to him. most importantly at the end, i wanted to thank my staff. please raise your hand. [applause] >> and charlie thompson, there you go, our attorney, who we spent many sleepless nights, right charlie, working with will thatcher. will, where are you? will finally agreed to sell the land in the corner lot to us. so without any of you, we are not here today. and i want to say since january of this year, eric tau, terry

re reagan, and brian baker, jessie herzog, i'm very excited for you to help us, and we're going to work together until the end of the project. thank you. so mayor breed, can i introduce you? we're so excited to see what you're working on, creating housing for different income level residents, and your work on sort of a tough love projects here in the city. and your work that you're doing in identifying the director of the housing delivery that's going to stream line the application process and the housing process. and we're confident that the city will be a better city for all of us.

thank you. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: i am so excited to be here today, and i think mayor lee wanted us all to know that he was paying close attention to everything that we're doing. you know, it's -- it's great to be here today. in fact, i just did a ground breaking earlier on 420 units in the civic center area, and now, 242 units right here in central market. and on top of that, the 65 units of affordable housing that will come with this development. it is a beautiful day to build housing in san francisco. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: and you know what i'm most excited about when building housing, supervisor kim? the fact that i helped to lead the efforts on the board of supervisors when we passed

neighborhood preference legislation so that 40% of all new development of affordable housing go to the people who live in that community first. so if we are going to make changes all over san francisco, we have to make sure that we include the people who are a part of these communities. part of making sure that we revitalize san francisco is bringing others along, but we do know we have challenges with homelessness, we have challenges with housing. we need to do better with our public transportation system, and it's going to take us all working together to accomplish those goals. projects like this take us one step closer to doing something absolutely amazing right here, and people say central market. i say the tenderloin. right here in the tenderloin. we are going to open doors and provide opportunities, nonprofit theater space, retail space, spaces for people who live in this community to use, making sure that the hotels and the

housing that are available are also available to the people who are part of this community. i'm excited about the future of san francisco, i'm excited about the opportunities that this project brings, and i am committed to continuing to do what we need to do to cleanup the tenderloin, to provide job opportunities for those who need them, to make sure that we have rest rooms and other places for people to use the rest room. and i know supervisor kim is very happy with the amount of time that i've been spending in the tenderloin. it's one of my favorite places to visit, because i know that one of the things is not just constantly investing dollars and getting people to work, it's about being involved in the community and the solutions we need to continue to move things forward. it's a great day in the san francisco area, it's a great day to build housing, and i am so excited to be at the ground breaking of this project that within two years, we are going

to make sure that this place -- i am going to be here, hopefully, for the opening, as well, but more importantly, in the meantime, the outreach and the work that we need to do to make sure that the community continues to be a part of this project is going to be so very much important. and yes, i am hiring a housing delivery director because we need to deliver more housing for residents of san francisco, and this is helping us get just one step closer to that goal. thank you all so much for being here. [applause] >> supervisor kim, you and i, we worked on this project i don't know how many years. five or six years? more like eight. okay. thank you for all those committee meetings we held in

your office, and we are here today. i want to say with your midmarket tech exam initiative that you worked with the great mayor lee, and you continued working on creating the lgbtq cultural district in the tenderloin, it's great -- it's contributing greatly to the revitalization of this area, so we thank you for doing that. >> supervisor kim: we have been working this project since 2011, and even though we entitled the project a little over two years ago, there continued to be other actions that we needed to take

to ensure that this project remained viable. very few projects do i get to sit with for eight years, but this, but this project, not only is it a vital part of this neighborhood, but this project was a key component. it went through many iterations, and countless community meetings for each of the iterations, but i'm just excited in the end the project was able to keep all the components that we initially wanted to see. we wanted to respect and acknowledge the history of arts and arts done on midmarket. whether we're talking about a.c.t. down the street to all of the great theaters like s.h.n., and i'm so excited that joy has committed to the magic theater

to have their own dedicated space here at 950 market to join us in creating this cultural arts district. second, i want to make sure that we're creating jobs for residents ensuring that tenderloin residents would be able to work at the hotel and retail at 950 market.

[please stand by]

. >> supervisor kim: and that's part of why it took us so long to get to this point, to see how large the site is and what it's going to mean to the midmarket arena. i finally wanted to acknowledge late may i don't remember ed or. i know jeff buckley is here and worked on behalf of his office to make sure we could go through so many different processes to get to this point. a project like this doesn't happen without strong support from the mayor's office, and by the way, it will continue to need strong support from mayor breed and her office.

congratulations, joy, congratulations, everyone. >> lucky today to have from our well known neighbor, glad memorial, we have rabbi michael lieszak to give a blessing. so please welcome rabbi mike lieszak from glad memorial. >> i am michaelle lieszak. did you want to see the drawings of the building here behind me? is that going to be a gorgeous building or not? yes, yes, a real site to behold here on market street.

beyond the physical beauty of 950 market street, we at glide want to absolute the people at group i with the help of market street for the masses and central city s.r.o. collaborative for thinking deeply how this project will be a real source of vitality for everyone here in the tenderloin. we are particularly moved because group i went above and offfor securing how doesing for formerly homeless people. that points to an inspired sense of responsibility for our community's most vulnerable people. beyond housing, the fact that group i donated many to our district and included grounds for a space in their building for communal space is a real gift. they worked hand in hand with the people here in the tenderloin to ensure that this area of the city continues to lift all of the people who live and work and learn in this city

of san francisco. may we continue to grow partnerships like this in the city that we all love. deeply grateful. >> all right. thank you, everybody. we'll see you at the next ribbon cutting. [applause] ♪ >> about two years ago now i had my first child. and i thought when i come back, you know, i'm going to get back in the swing of things and i'll find a spot. and it wasn't really that way when i got back to work.

that's what really got me to think about the challenges that new mothers face when they come back to work. ♪ >> when it comes to innovative ideas and policies, san francisco is known to pave the way, fighting for social justice or advocating for the environment, our city serves as the example and leader many times over. and this year, it leads the nation again, but for a new reason. being the most supportive city of nursing mothers in the work place. >> i was inspired to work on legislation to help moms return to work, one of my legislative aids had a baby while working in the office and when she returned we had luckily just converted a bathroom at city hall into a lactation room. she was pumping a couple times a day and had it not been for the room around the hallway, i don't

know if she could have continued to provide breast milk for her baby. not all returning mothers have the same access, even though there's existing state laws on the issues. >> these moms usually work in low paying jobs and returning to work sooner and they don't feel well-supported at work. >> we started out by having legislation to mandate that all city offices and departments have accommodations for mothers to return to work and lactate. but this year we passed legislation for private companies to have lactation policies for all new moms returning to work. >> with the newcome -- accommodations, moms should have those to return back to work. >> what are legislation? >> we wanted to make it applicable to all, we created a

set of standards that can be achievable by everyone. >> do you have a few minutes today to give us a quick tour. >> i would love to. let's go. >> this is such an inviting space. what makes this a lactation room? >> as legislation requires it has the minimum standards, a seat, a surface to place your breast on, a clean space that doesn't have toxic chemicals or storage or anything like that. and we have electricity, we have plenty of outlets for pumps, for fridge. the things that make it a little extra, the fridge is in the room. and the sink is in the room. our legislation does require a fridge and sink nearby but it's all right in here. you can wash your pump and put your milk away and you don't have to put it in a fridge that you share with co-workers. >> the new standards will be applied to all businesses and places of employment in san

francisco. but are they achievable for the smaller employers in the city? >> i think small businesses rightfully have some concerns about providing lactation accommodations for employees, however we left a lot of leeway in the legislation to account for small businesses that may have small footprints. for example, we don't mandate that you have a lactation room, but rather lactation space. in city hall we have a lactation pod here open to the public. ♪ ♪ >> so the more we can change, especially in government offices, the more we can support women. >> i think for the work place to really offer support and encouragement for pumping and breast feeding mothers is necessary. >> what is most important about the legislation is that number

one, we require that an employer have a lactation policy in place and then have a conversation with a new hire as well as an employee who requests parental leave. otherwise a lot of times moms don't feel comfortable asking their boss for lactation accommodations. really it's hard to go back to the office after you have become a mom, you're leaving your heart outside of your body. when you can provide your child food from your body and know you're connecting with them in that way, i know it means a lot to a mommy motionlely and physically to be able to do that. and businesses and employers can just provide a space. if they don't have a room, they can provide a small space that is private and free from intrusion to help moms pump and that will attract moms to working in san francisco. >> if you want more information visit
