11:11 pm
it is actually necessary. so i would like to put this before -- make a positive recommendation to send this to the board. can i take it without objection? thank you very much. no report on this. can you please call item number 15. >> item 15 is resolution resolution approving amendment number 2 will, authorizing the human services agency to execute an amendment to the agreement between the city and county -- >> quiet, please. supporters, quiet, please. we are still conducting a meeting. thank you. >> please continue. >> the nonprofit san francisco marine food bank to provide the food assistance program to older adults and adults with disabilities for a total agreement term of july first, 2017 to june 30th, 2022, and by increasing the agreement amount by 120 million for a total not to exceed
11:12 pm
$11.5 million. >> thank you very much. i believe we have michael here. he is on the human services agency. >> good afternoon. i am with the department of adult and aging services and part of the larger human services agency. i'm joined by the director of human services agency. we are here today in support of the resolution approval of amendment to to our grant agreement with the san francisco food bank. the grant agreement supports the purchase of grocery bags which are then distributed by a food pantry and home delivery grocery program model. the services, we see them as critical to addressing hunger, and meeting nutritional needs of older adults and adults with disabilities in the city. these programs are an important part of larger strategies to address food security in the city of san francisco. this is come before you today because we have seen this contract grow significantly over the past few years.
11:13 pm
that is primarily due to additional funding which has been allocated through the annual budgeting process. these funds are advocated for and allocated as a means to support and grow programs like this as we have seen demand continue for this program. with that, i'm happy to answer any questions. >> thank you very much. any questions from colleagues? seeing none, i believe there is a b.l.a. report on this. >> the board of supervisors is approving the second amendment to the contract with the food bank. this contract was originally entered into through a sole-source process. the first amendment increase the contract to a $9.2 million, and increase the number of unduplicated clients from $2,400 to $4,900, this amendment will increase the contract by two by 3 million to 11.5 million, and increase the number of
11:14 pm
undocumented clients in the year close to 6500. we showed the budget for the contract going from fiscal year 17-18 to 2021 for the entire $11.5 million contract. we are recommending a reduction of 189,000 based on a contingency that was budgeted in fiscal year 17-18 that is not needed. otherwise we recommend approval. >> thank you very much. let's open this up to public comment period are there any members of the public would like to comment on this item? public comment is closed. as someone who helped deliver the 250 -- 250,000th bag of groceries to homebound seniors, i have to say that this looks like it is, this added money is actually needed to meet the food insecurity that we are seeing in san francisco, particularly
11:15 pm
among our seniors, so i would like to make a motion to approve the amendment, and to send this to the board with a positive recommendation recommendation as amended. thank you very much. thank you very much. madam clerk, i would like to make a motion to rescind the vote on item number 1. and i would like to make a motion to continue that item on rescinding the vote. >> is that correct cost. >> the vote was to continue the item to the next budget and finance committee meeting. >> i would like to now make a motion to continue that to the meeting of february 27th. can i take that without objection? thank you very much. i would like to recess this budget and finance meeting until three p.m. today.
11:16 pm
we are back in recess. madam clerk, would you please read item number 16. >> item 16, to identify the fiscal priorities and requesting the use commission to report. >> that's great, so now we're going to hear from our san francisco youth commission about their budget priorities for the fiscal year 2019-2020, and i will allow them to introduce themselves and i believe we have five youth commissioners presenting today. thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is calvin quick, i'm the legislative affairs officer of the youth commission. i also represent district 5. with me today are commissioners ty from district 8, dong from
11:17 pm
district 3, and obermyer from district 1. we're here to give an overview of our main priorities and then afterwards, if you have any questions, we would be happy to take them. so, first a bit of background. the youth commission is a charter commission made up of 17 youth age 12 to 23. we're appointed annually, and we are charged by the charter to report back regularly to the board and to gather information and advise the mayor and board on the effects of policies and programs related to youth needs, particularly concerning the budget of the city and county. so the way the commission has typically fulfilled this duty in the past has been through our budget and policy priorities report. otherwise known as our b.p.p.s. this is a document that we
11:18 pm
compile starting around february of each year, and that we then present to budget and finance in around april or may. and it's a document that outlines all of our budgetary and policy priorities related to youth, and the problem, of course, that we've encountered with this as a way of communicating youth needs to the mayor and board is that by late april, the mayor and departments have already made most of their funding decisions for the upcoming year, so the budget that comes to the board that's under the review by the board at that point doesn't effectively reflect the needs of youth constituency, because that youth voice was absent during the earlier phase of the budget process. >> this year the youth
11:19 pm
commission passed the omnibus preliminary priorities resolution to streamline the budget process. this is to ensure that youth organizations and the youth commission have enough time to work on their priorities and again presenting our budget priorities early allows us to have better say in the board of supervisors budget proposals. so all 17 commissioners are a part of a committee, and each committee came up with their own list of budget priorities after reaching out to their community-based organizations and respective city departments. first, we have the civic engagement committee, so their priority right now is on youth engagement in democratic processes, specifically about '16 and 2020, and they have reached out to the league of women voters, asian-pacific islander, american public affairs, department of children,
11:20 pm
youth, and their families, the colorado youth congress, the mayors of hyattsville, maryland, tacoma park, maryland, and berkeley, california. also the city council of golden, colorado, and, of course, the vote '16 local and national chapters. next we have the transformative justice committee. they are focusing on working towards alternatives to incarceration, and they've been working with coleman advocates, crisco cop watch, the department of police accountability, strategies for youth. and lastly we have the housing and land use committee, and they are working on permanent supportive housing for transitional aged youth and the t.a.y. navigation center, and they have been working closely with the department of homelessness and the supportive housing, the youth advisory board, and the youth policy advisory committee, the lyric lavender youth recreation and information center and larkin street youth services.
11:21 pm
>> as maggie mentioned, when it comes to the civic engagement committee, our main focus this year has been in increasing young people's involvement in democratic processes, specifically with regards to preregistration, and so our concrete ask as far as budgetary focus is for fee wavers for california i.d. cards for youth 16 to 18. we found during research last year that when it comes to major barriers to registering to vote, for many low-income families, the $30 charge for obtaining the california real i.d. was prohibitively expensive. so we're looking to secure potential funding through dcyf to waive these fees for families that cannot afford them and to
11:22 pm
make it easier to preregister to vote. part of this, too, is to increase our constituency when it comes to youth involved in youth organizing for our upcoming push for vote 16-2020, which i assure you you'll be hearing about from us in the next coming months, and given the national moment, what's been happening in georgia, our ask, truly, is for s.f. to make a larger commitment to enabling young people to prepare to take part in their democracy. >> hi, i'm nora. i'm the chair of the transformative justice committee, and our big focus for this year is finding alternatives to incarceration, so our first budget priority is mandating the instruction of law enforcement officers on cognitive development. this was a priority last year,
11:23 pm
it was kind of implemented last fiscal year, but we really believe it should be mandatory for all police officers to go through cognitive development training, because it really will improve the interactions between youth and police in san francisco, and although last year it was implemented a bit, we really think that this needs to have consistent implementation throughout the year. our next budget priority is the investment in re-entry program for -- thank you, youth exiting the juvenile justice system. we think it's really important for there to be programs that are invested in the youth exiting the juvenile justice system that give them access to job resources, supportive housing, and enabling them to have access to social workers or community members to help their transition from the juvenile justice system, and one aspect that's important to this is connecting them with either their families or people they feel comfortable with, because
11:24 pm
we think the gap between formally incarcerated individuals and their community is one thing, but it makes it really hard to transition out of the juvenile justice system, so we think programs that bring together youth and their families and communities is really important in engaging youth in getting out of the juvenile justice system. thank you. >> the housing and land use have been meeting on the 2015 goal of 200 units of permanent supportive housing. there are outreach in the community, printed housing is a more sustain shl option and gives tay options needed. the goal of the housing plan was to create an additional 400 units for tay by 2015. today in 2019, four years past the deadline, only 188 unites have been completed. other current estimate totals experiencing homelessness in the city, even 400 units is still
11:25 pm
not enough. we strongly recommend and urge of committing funds to bridging this gap. everyone, including tay, deserve the right to feel safe. >> in terms of the funding allocated for transitional age use services, we're asking for proportional funding. as of may of 2017, only 8% of the hhs service dollars were allocated for transitional aged youth, and we know from the point in time count that about 20% of the homeless population are between the ages of 18 to 24. we would also like to see the navigation center for transitional age youth be created, since the funding was already allocated in fiscal year 2018 to '19. >> the youth commission's fully aware of the mayor's request of cuts up to 6% of departments over the next two years.
11:26 pm
we are concerned that youth and tay will be further underserved and disadvantaged as a result of the budget cuts. the city holds many progressive values, one of those values being youth empowerment. we believe the city needs to put money where its mouth is and not cut funding for its programs supporting youth and tay. >> so just to recap, these commissions' central priorities, which we are pushing for in discussions with the departments concerned, we are committed to obtaining increased funding for re-entry programs, services that help youth exiting the justice system reintegrate into society. we are also e committed to our ask that substantial funding be allocated towards the 20 2015 400-unit goal for permanent supportive housing for tay and looking for more proportional in
11:27 pm
hhs's budget. and finally, while we recognize the mayor has asked for cuts in departments' budgets, we believe for many youth-specific services, cuts will only accentuate the existing problems facing underserved youth and tay populations. it's, in some ways, a matter of whether some programs and services will survive beyond this cut year and perhaps future years of cuts if their funding is cut or withheld this year. so we are opposed to cuts to youth and tay-specific programs across the city and county budget. that concludes our presentation. we're available to take any questions. thank you. >> supervisor fewer: colleagues, any questions? go ahead, yes. supervisor stefani. >> supervisor stefani: first of all, thank you so much for that presentation and your involvement. it's great to see you up here. i'm impressed with your work and
11:28 pm
the priorities you laid out here. on the transformative justice committee slide you talked about mandatory instruction for law enforcement officers for youth cognitive development and interactions with youth. i think that sounds really important and promising, and i'm wondering if you know of any programs out there that other departments are using, or if there's a sample program that you're thinking of, or if you know of anything. >> well, there was already a program implemented in the last year, but it only trained 25 officers, as opposed to the 2,000-plus officers in the sfpd. we wanted an expansion of the program to create a program that can be taught to all sfpd officers that works with both community organizations and the city to create, like, a baseline instruction, because we think it's really important that all officers are trained in this and not just a few. >> supervisor stefani: perfect, great, thank you.
11:29 pm
>> supervisor fewer: yes, supervisor mandelman. >> supervisor mandelman: well, i would like to echo vice chair stefani's comments about being very impressed by this group and the work that you've done. i also note your calling out the city on some failures around tay housing, and i think that is something that is going to be of great interest to this committee going through the next few months thinking about the budget and thinking how we can get through the budget and perhaps through another round of eraf, certain resources for supportive housing for formerly homeless or homeless youth. that is one thing that was part of the coalition on homelessness ask for this last go around of eraf, so we're not able to come up with the funds through that, but i'm hopeful that we will going forward over the next few months. and then, of course, the tay
11:30 pm
navigation center remains a promise that has not been kept, so we are hoping that it will soon be kept, but thank you for your work. >> supervisor fewer: yes, thank you for your work. i wanted to just ask a couple of questions. one, do you have a budget amount that you're requesting for the fee waivers for california i.d. cards for youth 16 to 18, do you know how much that might be in a budgeted item? >> we've talked through some numbers in committee, but i think that would be a matter to touch base again with committee and to reach out, but we can get those numbers to you. >> supervisor fewer: because this is the budget committee, so we really deal in numbers, so when you're telling us you need fee waivers for youth, we need to actually know how much are you allocating, what does that program sort of look like, how would you reach out, would it be need-based? i think that we do have some models that we, you know, for youth, we can actually look at some models that we can
11:31 pm
implement this with, and then i wanted to ask you, because i know the resolution is that they were -- we passed a resolution to actually preregister every -- register every sfusd student who's 18, but the ones that were 17 to preregister for them a year earlier, because you were able to do that by law. have you had any kind of hearing on that to find out, or requested a hearing through the san francisco unified school district to find out how successful that program is, what kind of resources are being put towards that? because that's an area you can advocate for resources within the san francisco unified school district, also if there was a coordinator of that program, if there was someone to really oversee the pushing of that. so rachel norton, who -- commissioner rachel norton, i wrote the resolution with her, she's still on the board until 2020. you might want to reach out to
11:32 pm
her to call a hearing to see how across the board it's happening in our high schools, because, as you know, the san francisco unified school district educates about 60,000, two-thirds of the school-aged children in san francisco, so they would capture, quite frankly, most of the teenagers, a proportion, of those future voters. because i think that would be -- i haven't heard the results of that and whether or not it's been successful or not and how many people have actually registered to vote. and then what would help would be also to just have even through the department of elections how many youth are registered to vote in san francisco currently, and is there an aspirational goal that you have in mind, because then we can see what we need to get to that goal, i think, would be kind of helpful. another thing is about the law enforcement, i actually would add in if it's all about youth,
11:33 pm
then we would also add in about procedures when stopping and detaining youth and also the laws and general orders pertaining to youth and youth in schools, questioning of youth, reading of their rights, those type of things. and it's not just youth cognitive development, but really about the legal framework about youth, too, because if there are officers that have not engaged on a regular basis with youth, then they might not be aware of all the laws that we actually have ordinances that we have governing their behavior or what they can do around youth. and so i just think that would be really important to add in, too. and then, let's see, the re-entry programs, yeah, i wanted to ask you, because i'm on the re-entry council for the city and county of san francisco, and i'm wondering if you've partnered at all with
11:34 pm
re-entry, the re-entry council. because they mainly talk about adults in that re-entry council, and it would be kind of, i think helpfu actually, to have youth voice there. because we are looking for ways for people when they come back into general population, what are the supports that they need, and i think that if we -- if we had a youth representative there, it would be really super helpful. and then i also want to ask, the san francisco unified school district stopped giving driver's education and driver's training, but we are hearing now that it is a barrier sometimes to employment for young people. for example, if you want to go into trades, you have to have a driver's license. if you want to be a bus driver or some of these living-wage jobs, you have to know how to drive. and driving is one of those jobs, to be a driver is one of those jobs that sometimes you don't need a college education and that you can actually start driving and be part of the teamsters right after high school. so i am wondering, have you seen
11:35 pm
that to be of concern to youth? because i am hearing more broadly it's not so much the 18 year olds, but when they are trying to get a job when they are 23 or 24 that require some driving, that they don't have a license, and actually to get a license in san francisco can be somewhat costly. for example, you have to have someone teach you how to drive, and a lot of people don't have cars. and also if you come from a family that they are not legally able to get a driver's license, then those families, who teaches who to drive? and the san francisco unified school district used to do it. i'm wondering, have you heard if there's a need for a fund maybe or some program to teach youth to drive? and then i'd love to hear about that. and then i think i just want to echo what my colleagues have said about the tay housing. yeah, considering that the money's been budgeted, what the heck, and so we'd love to follow up on that, too, because the
11:36 pm
money has already been funded, so what's taken so long, right? yeah, and i think the mayor has requested cuts up to 6%, and we will see, you know, we have very little control over the mayor's budget instructions, and it's true that the mayors and the departments get first dibs at the budget, and so i don't know what they would be actually cutting in there, but i would say that if you are -- that you may want to meet with some large departments and ask and meet with the department heads and ask them about the 6% cut and request that they make the cuts to youth and tay-specific programs. >> all right, so a lot to touch on there. firstly, when it comes to the amount of young people in san francisco who are currently
11:37 pm
preregistered to vote, it looks to be 1,724. with regards to the monetary ask, when it comes to the fee waivers for california real i.d.s, the number we have cited and committed to based on all our calculations and research is $60,000. when it comes to the department of elections more broadly, i know we've had some contact with them when it comes to preregistration. i haven't heard much about the resolution automatically registering young people to vote, but -- >> supervisor fewer: excuse me, i'm sorry, charlie, to interrupt you, but it is supposed to be part of, i think, american democracy, which is a required graduation course for sfusd and all of you guys, so in order to
11:38 pm
pass that, so that we know every 12th grader is actually taking that class, it's required, and that's why we put it in that class, that there would be a voter registration component. >> yeah, speaking to the curriculum surrounding that civics education, i know -- i believe it was two years ago, one of our commissioners made a hard push when it comes to the board of education to try to mandate more civics education. as far as we can tell, and we have followed up a great deal, we've more or less been stonewalled or written off. >> supervisor fewer: so we are now, i think the board of supervisors are used to the committee who had school board members and board of supervisors, and now -- then they stopped having that committee. they are now reconvening, if you would like, whoever the chair of that is, you may want to ask that that be put on the agenda.
11:39 pm
and then you could have the department of elections here, and then you could have also sfusd, their curriculum folks, and then it would be important to know how many youth in the 2020 election would be eligible to vote as a population, right, 1,723, is that a low number, or is that a high number? like, it seems kind of low to me, but wondering what the aspirational goal is then, right, because we know the earlier you vote, voting is a habit, the earlier you vote, the more prolific voter you will be. hence, vote '16. >> we can speak to strategy around vote '16 another time. we actually just had a stakeholders meeting to set down some of the long-term strategy around that, so we can certainly be in touch with your office around that. when it comes to sfusd and
11:40 pm
classes to obtain a driver's license, as far as i would guess, if $30 is prohibitively expensive, my guess is $200 driving lessons, of which i believe you need three, certainly would be a barrier, so if there was some way to subsidize that through sfusd, again, that would certainly be an option or idea that the commission would be interested in pursuing. >> supervisor fewer: what i was thinking is, if it's not through sfusd, is it through the initiative of giving every youth a job? and part of job training? what i didn't know is, if this is an issue that youth have brought up or not. if they think it's important. so if it's not important, i would say you probably wouldn't prioritize it, but if you're hearing that it's important, then i think they want to learn to drive and don't have the opportunity to learn, then i think it's worth exploring
11:41 pm
actually as part of a youth job development. >> got ya. well, we'll definitely be in touch with our community partners around that question. when it comes to your questions around questioning of youth re-entry programs and touching base with the re-entry council, i'm going to turn it over to nora. >> supervisor fewer: okay. >> hi, i also just want to share that as a youth that is currently in high school, i have definitely heard that very few people i know actually have driver's licenses, and most aren't really looking to get them either, partially because of how long it takes to get a driver's license, and also because it is really expensive to get driver's licenses, and i can't speak to how that affects people looking to get jobs in driving, but i do know that it is pretty rare. >> supervisor fewer: okay, thanks. so the re-entry council. >> so we -- sorry, can you repeat what you asked again? sorry.
11:42 pm
>> supervisor fewer: so the re-entry council is a place where a whole bunch of city departments get together, and i sit on it representing the board of supervisors, and we brainstorm about some of the issues that are a barrier to success for people who are coming out of incarceration. so we're looking at those supports. how to connect them to jobs, what is kind of the other supports that they need, housing, those type of things, but also examining the supports that we do have, are they effective, and then also looking at why our incarceration rate is so disproportionately african-american and latino. so those type of conversations we have, too, but if you wanted to connect to the re-entry council, i think it fits in sort of perfectly about re-entry from youth, for youth, because you do serve adults also. this could be a very, i think, good committee to even come to address one day or about some of
11:43 pm
your ideas around re-entry for youth, because most of the conversations we have is re-entry around adults. >> yeah, i think that is a really important aspect and perspective to see about re-entry programs for youth, and i think it is very, very similar to a lot of things we're looking at in the incarceration of youth in san francisco and the juvenile justice system. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. >> thank you. >> just one more piece to that. just occurred to me, we did receive a presentation from someone from the re-entry council earlier this year. there was some discussion about the proposing of a mandated youth seat or more ideally multiple mandated youth seats, but that's something we'll definitely touch base with. >> supervisor fewer: you may want to advocate for that, because we do have people who have been formerly incarcerated and there's seats designated for them, too. so it's great to have seats at the table, voices. any other questions?
11:44 pm
let's open it to public comment. are there any members of the public that would like to comment on this issue? seeing none, public comment is now closed. so, i think i would like to continue this item to the call of the chair. would that be okay? we can take that without objection, so we can call you guys back. thank you very much. so, take that without objection, and then, madam clerk, are there any other items before us today? >> clerk: there are no other items on today's agenda. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much, our meeting's adjourned..

people with a passion for this and empowering them to learn hi doing a special series about staying safe. let's look at issues of water and sewer. we are here at the san francisco urban center on mission street in san francisco and i'm joined today by marrielen from puc and talk about water and sewer issues. what are things we should be concerned about
11:51 pm
water. >> you want to be prepared for that scenario and the recommendation is to have stored 1 gallon per person per day that you are out of water. we recommend that you have at least 3-5 days for each person and also keep in consideration storage needs for your pets and think about the size of your pets and how much water they consume. >> the storage which is using tap water which you are going to encourage. >> right. of course at the puc we recommend that you store our wonderful delicious tap water. it's free. it comes out of the tap and you can store it in any plastic container, a clean plastic container for up to 6 months. so find a container, fill it with water and label it and rotate it out. i use it to water my garden. >> of course everyone has plastic bottles which we are not really promoting but it is
11:52 pm
a common way to store it. >> yes. it's an easy way to pick up bottles to store it. just make sure you check the label. this one says june 2013. so convenient you have an end date on it. >> and there are other places where people have water stored in their houses. >> sure. if you have a water heater or access to the water heater to your house, you can drink that water and you can also drink the water that the in the tank of your toilet. ; not the bowl but in your tank. in any case if you are not totally sure about the age of your water or if you are not sure about it being totally clean, you can treat your water at home. there is two ways that you can treat your water at home and one is to use basic
11:53 pm
household bleach. the recommendation is 8 drops of bleach for ever gallon of water. you add 8 drops of bleach into the water and it needs to sit for 30 minutes. the other option is to boil water. you need to boil water for 5-10 minutes. after an earthquake that may not be an option as gas maybe turned off and we may not have power. the other thing is that puc will provide information as quickly as possible about recommendations about whether the water is okay to drink or need to treat it. we have a number of twice get information from the puc through twitter and facebook and our website sf water.org. >> people should not drink water from pools or spas. but they could use it to flush their toilets if their source
11:54 pm
are not broken. let's look at those issues. >> sanitation is another issue and something people don't usually or like to think about it but it's the reality. very likely that without water you can't flush and the sewer system can be impeded or affected during an earthquake. you need to think about sanitation. the options are simple. we recommend a set up if you are able to stay in your building or house to make sure that you have heavy duty trash bags available. you can set this up within your existing toilet bowl and once it's used. you take a little bit of our bleach. we talked about it earlier from the water. you seal the bag completely. you make sure you mark the bag as human waste and set it aside
