12:05 pm
come. so i hope in the next year, we make much more progress on the pesticide issue so that that side of the issue is being heard and we're coming up with some compromises at least on pesticide use. and the other thing just that i would say, once again, taking off my organizational hat is just to repeat -- well no, i'll just put on the one for clean energy, californians for clean energy choice, it would be good if you couldie agendaize the ise that's going to be in sacramento around energy and the wildfires so that there can be recommendations hopefully coming from this commission. that i think is really important because this is -- 2019 is going to be a war of the people against these big corporations that are causing these problems, and it would be great to get you all involved in it.
12:06 pm
and then, now taking off the organizational hat, just to get back to bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, i know that i can help. so those of you that want to move forward with that, and you do, please do contact me, and i don't mind giving this out, even if this is broadcast, it's my last name and my first initials, brookse brookse@igc.org, i can help you decide what to use bitcoin and cryptocurrency for, and i can do it for free, to please do contact me. thanks. >> thank you. next item. >>clerk: the next item is item 12, public comment on all matters pertaining to the subsequent closed session on public employee performance plan

innovations that help us get to zero waste. >> zero waste is sending nothing to landfill or incineration, using reuse and recovery and prevention as ways to achieve zero waste. the grant program is a grant program specifically for nonprofits in san francisco to divert material from landfill. it's important to find the san francisco produce market because there's a lot of edible food that can be diverted and they need positions to capture that food and focus on food recovery. >> san francisco produce market is a resource that connects farmers and their produce with businesses in the bay area. i think it's a basic human right
12:13 pm
to have access to healthy foods, and all of this food here is available. it's a matter of creating the infrastructure, creating jobs, and the system whereby none of this goes to waste. since the beginning of our program in july 2016 to date, we've donated over 1 million pounds of produce to our community partners, and that's resulted in over 900,000 meals to people in our community, which we're very proud of. >> carolyn at the san francisco produce market texts with old produce that's available. the produce is always excellent. we get things like broccoli, brussels sprouts, bell peppers. everything that we use is nice and fresh, so when our clients get it, they really enjoy it, and it's important to me to feel
12:14 pm
good about what i do, and working in programs such as this really provides that for me. it's helping people. that's what it's really about, and i really enjoy that. >> the work at the produce market for me representing the intersection between environment and community, and when we are working at that intersection, when we are using our resources and our passion and our energy to heal the planet and feed the people, nothing gets better than

12:17 pm
they will work on at a national level. this is also an opportunity for members to visit their state representatives and we have two members from california that serve on the board. so they will be visiting both northern and southern california representatives. this is also the time of year that california is starting its two-year legislative process. the department and human services agency as a whole are looking at our policy priorities. state associations as well as california senior legislature are developing their proposals at at this time of year. some key dates to remember as this unfolds is january 10th, which is the release of the governor's budge. january 25th, the last day to submit requests and february 22nd which is the last day for bills to be introduced. the joint legislative council will start up our meetings again in february and start to review
12:18 pm
all relevant proposals that relate to the department. december 12th is when the mayor will be releasing our budget instructions. one of the major things that has occurred since last we met is the department is currently being audited by the california department of aging. they are auditing our aaa programs for which they provide the funding. the auditors arrived on monday and will stay through friday. this is part -- this is a major audit and is part of a four-year cycle. they come at this level every four years. it consists of debt reviews, site visits. they are looking at health promotion, senior nutrition, supportive services, information and referral. they will conduct site visits which includes congregate meal sites as well as our information and referral hub and they will also participate on part of one of the home delivered meal routes. they will meet with staff
12:19 pm

12:20 pm
maybe i should get out more, but it makes us look at things and kind of not blow it up, but just very different lens to it. i give staff credit because it really is a master puzzle they're trying to put together and they're doing some really good work on it. in january, they will present an update to the service provider working group so they can provide insight and questions to the oversight and advisory committee. and then they will give an update to the oac in february. and with a draft of the plan going to the oac in march. so, we're moving along within the process. this month at the oac, at the follow up to the needs assessment, there thereby a presentation on the diaper dive that planning did into the equity analysis of communities of color and lgbtq population. i think that's it. if there are any questions, i didn't mean happy to answer. >> president serina: thank you very much.

any questions? commissioner loo. >> vice president loo: you said that the state came and do the audits. do they also interview the consumers? >> deputy director kauffman: they will go on site during congregate meals. they will have an opportunity. i don't know if they will have opportunities to speak because that is part of what they're doing is they will go and take a look at the kitchen. they will look at the congregate meal site itself. there's an opportunity to have more informal conversations. >> vice president loo: will they accompany the drivers? >> deputy director kauffman: at least on a partial route so they can see that process as well. >> vice president loo: thank you. >> president serina: any other comments or questions? any questions from the public? thank you. the next item on the agenda is

12:37 pm
i'm a program analyst. the grant renewal will be for the next five fiscal years. i would like to give an overview and highlight the services being funded by our contracts. in response to the significant challenges facing recent years, the city and county of san francisco and the san francisco housing authority along with 27 other agencies met in 2013 to revision the housing authority. through the process, the group developed a financing strategy to address the long term viability and preservation of san francisco public housing. that included the use of huds project based vouchers called rad program. rad provides stable source of long term operating subsidies.
12:38 pm
it allows leverage financing. it addresses the critical, meet and long term rehab needs of the building. it establishes tenant protections and it establishes an on site services model in all rad building. the contract being renewed will fund the on site services in the building, especially needed for adults and adults with disabilities. this service provision model at the rad sites will be based on three principles. community engagement, community building and service connection. with the funding, it will provide core activities in outreach and community engagement by developing and maintaining channels of communication and enhanced community living. it will also provide health and wellness services and activities through the referral partnerships with neighborhood group, city agencies, community based service providers as well
12:39 pm
as onsite programming. and it will help with housing stability by having resident services and property management work together to help tenants maintain housing and ensure their specific needs are being met. this will address and planning for matters with rent payment, concerns and other things. the 20 rad building for the olter adults and adults with disabilities range from 40 to 276 units and staffing ratio is set to one fpe for every 75 units. of the 20 rad building, 11 are considered phase one building and the rehab construction for those have been completed in 2017. the other nine are considered phase two sites and currently construction at those are being completed this fiscal year. currently the rad building have service coordinators very service connectors who are visibly present to assist the

>> good morning commissioners. i work at the mayor's office and director of resident denial -- residential services. no. we combined federal dollars, local city dollars as well as state dollars to draw down tax credits. it was the largest rad conversion in the country. and it has been enormously successful in that the building themselves are now habitable which is a big plus. we have very low eviction. the prop a money was not used. >> president serina: thank you. any other comments or questions? >> commissioner knutzen: this allow for additional hiring of these people that you described or is it just continuing funding for the current staff? >> ms. lapitan: it is just continuing funding. but of course the grantees have the discretion to hire and have -- because it is over match

12:43 pm
itself, is that under the city administrator's office? >> ms. lapitan: under rad these were federally owned and operat operated. the building themselves are owned by the affordable housing developers. we have changed the model and those building are not federally operated. they are locally operated by affordable housing and monitored by our department. >> commissioner pappas: thank you. >> president serina: thank you. any other comments or questions from the commission? any comments or questions from the public? hearing none, may i have a motion to approve? >> commissioner pappas: so moved. >> president serina: second? >> second. >> president serina: thank you. all in favor.

is that a different fund? is this funding coming from a different pot of money than title 3b? we're just wondering. that's my first question. second question is wondering if the housing corporation providers have considered or maybe are reaching out and talking to daas community services programs because we do a lot of the things already in neighborhoods and we are just wondering is that even an effort or has that been a consideration? those are our two questions. >> president serina: thank you. very good questions. >> ms. lapitan: to answer the first question, helen hale has a better response. for the second part, there's -- for each of the sites, the grantees part of their efforts is connecting with neighborhood groups, city agencies and other community based service

12:58 pm
the intent is to provide connections to the local neighborhoods or groups if they have a specific language need or specific health need. but the idea here is to have services folks on site, know the residents and make sure they are connected to the different agencies they have and someone is at home making sure they are aging in a safe and healthy way. and make sure their units in a good working order so we don't have elderly folks living in dilapidated housing. >> president serina: does that answer your question? thank you. any other comments or questions from the public? additional questions or comments from the commission? hearing none, a motion to approve? >> so moved. >> president serina: may i have a second? >> commissioner pappas: second. >> president serina: all in favor?
