there's a good life for everyone. >> that's why. >> you have people from all the walks that life and they're standing in water 8 hours to be an american citizen and contribute to the city and that's really what makes this worthwhile. >> ♪ ♪

[roll call] >> clerk: also, please note that executive director shireen mcspadden is present. at this time, the commission asks that you silence all mobile phones and sound producing devices. >> thank you. and before proceeding, i would like my fellow commissioners to be aware that there is now a way to let me know if you wish to speak. there is a little place to push on the screen. your name will pop up, and you will be called in the order in which you push that button, if it works. if not, we'll just figure out another way. thank you. may i have a motion to approve the april 3 agenda? >> so moved. >> thank you. do i have a second? >> second. >> any changes or modifications? hearing none, all in favor? any opposed? thank you. the motion carries. may i have a motion to approve

the minutes from the march 6, 2019 meeting? >> so moved. >> second. >> any discussion? any comments or suggestions from the public? hearing none, call the question. all in favor? any opposed? thank you. the motion carries. item four, reports. executive director shireen mcspadden. welcome, shireen. >> good morning, commissioners. and i just want to extend a welcome to commissioner elizondo. wasn't here for your last one, so i just wanted to publicly say welcome. >> thank you. >> so at this time last month, i was actually in washington d.c. for the national association of area agencies on ageing policy briefing, and

that's an annual event that happens -- it's a two-day event where we get to learn about what's happening with the legislature, what's happening with the administration at the federal level, kind of get some ideas about where things are going with the administration on community living and centers for medicare and medicaid and also just hear from legislators or their aides about kind of the direction that people are thinking in terms of funding for ageing and ageing services in this case. and so it's always really -- it's always really informative and kind of gives you a flavor of what's happening on the hill and within the administration. so i got a chance to go, and there were other californiians that got a chance to go. one of the things we get to do when we're there is we get to visit or leaders on the -- our leaders on the hill.

so we got a chance to visit with nancy pelosi's office, kamala harris' office, and jackie speier. i think that people are realizing that ageing is something important to think about and to address and to fund. the thing we were talking about with them is overall issues we see in san francisco and california as a whole, certainly talking about the age wave, you know, the growing population of older adults and the importance of providing services and thinking about things like insurance and what people are going to do -- you know, can people afford to retire, housing, all those things. it was a chance -- also was a chance to advocate for an act

which sunsets on april 30. we were asking for the reauthorization to happen, but also to ask them for some increases in the older americans act, specifically, money for caregivers and money for things like case management and ageing services. in the past, we focused specifically on nutrition, and we thought this time maybe a different tactic, a better tactic would be to focus on the things that are not so obvious. it's important for leaders to understand the need for food and food security issues, and we still think that's important, but we wanted to highlight some other parts of the act which don't get as much attention. so we got really good feedback i thought. we also had people asking for some of our reports that planning and budget staff were asking for.

we were able to share the community needs assessment and the deeper dive that our planning staff put together and, you know, send them onto all of those offices, and people were really thankful to have data from san francisco that really talks about some of the issues that are happening here but are widespread across the country. i think it was really positive, and while i was there, i also attended the national agency on the association of ageing as the delegate for california, and it was a good meeting. then last week, there was a meeting on the california area on the agency of ageing. rather than just it be a board meeting, we were able to have a meeting with leader nasarian,

and he's put forward a couple of bills that are still really in the early stages, but bills that combine this idea of having a master plan on ageing. it's not just ageing. they need to change the name on that because there's a lot of things that would affect people with disabilities, as well, and improve coordination at the state level. i think it was really great, it was really heartening to have him come to the c4a board meeting. it was an expanded board meeting, so a lot of people got to call in, affiliate organizations where they're representing both people with disabilities and older adults, so it seemed very positive, and again, there seems like there's some momentum at the state

level and the federal level to address people who are ageing. on the local level, right now, we're still waiting -- there's back and forth on some issues with the mayor's budget office, and we'll wait and see exactly where our budget comes out, but we'll be talking about that soon with the final numbers and all of that stuff, so you'll have that information. and then, i think -- i wanted to make one announcement that i'm just going to add onto my report, if that's okay. i was asked to announce that reverend fred hubbard passed away last week or -- i think it was last week. for those of you that didn't know him, reverend hubbard was the director of western addition senior services for many years.

his funeral will be april 5 at zion church. he really had a great vision when he put that center together. his heart was always with older adults in the fillmore district, and he was a delight to work with. he was a delightful person. i just wanted to let you know that he passed away and the funeral was friday. >> thank you very much, shireen. any questions from the commission? any comments from the public. thank you very much. the daas director shireen mcspadden will recognize several individuals from the daas wellness committee.

[applause] >> all right. you guys should be running up here since you're the wellness committee. [applause] okay. so one of t so one of the things that has happened within the city family as we like to say, is the health system has put together a wellness program and really focused on working with departments to ensure that -- to ensure that we have -- that we're thinking about employee wellness, and we're thinking about employee wellness in it a variety of rights -- in a variety of ways, right? so thinking about eating fresh fruit, and eating green things and red things and yellow

things, thinking about exercise and caring for each other. i think it's a great thing for us to do. we focus so much on the people we're serving, which is why we're here and it's very important, but self-care is very important. and the health care services recognizes that, and i'd like to say liz was the first person who got really involved in this. and last year, we went to an awards ceremony at health services system, and we saw some other departments get some awards, and liz said, we're going to get that award next year. that's going to be us, right? so we have this fantastic team of people -- like, we're missing one person. we're missing krista, right, who's our wellness champion. but we have this fantastic team of people who have come together and said how can we ensure that we're thinking about health in all of our programs at daas, and what exciting things can we do to

get people inspired? so you guys have come up with some really innovative ways to think about wellness and get people involved in wellness. it's been everything from salad days, to passport stamps where you go through different stations and get stamps to show that you've learned about something new with respect to wellness and exercise, and there are all kinds of things. it's really heartening to hear and see what you guys have worked on, and to hear our employees and staff in general getting excited about being well, and thinking about yoga, and thinking about things that maybe we don't get to celebrate at work. so i really appreciate what you've done. i've always thought that this is really important, and i want to encourage us taking some time out for ourselves and to think about wellness, so i appreciate your leadership on this. i'm sorry that krista's not

here, too, but i just wanted to thank you all. since i spent so much time yakking, i'm not going to tere this, but i'm going to say that you spent so much time putting this together. oh, they're right here. so sarah. [applause] >> i just wanted to say something, and i've seen other programs try to implement health -- health programs within their agency, and it really took shireen to appoint someone that was a leader for it to be successful, so i really want to say thank you to

you. [applause] >> thank you. next on the agenda is the advisory council, diane lawrence. welcome, diane. >> thank you, commissioners. i was able to join shireen and tom last month, which is why ellie lurie did the report. it was a great experience to be

in washington and visit with our legislators. so the advisory council met on march 20, and we had a presentation -- we're trying -- i think i mentioned before each month, or every other month, have a presentation so we can have some time for discussion because our meeting -- we have a tight time frame. so this month, one of the areas that council was interested in was on the contracting process. so john and michael came and presented to the council a presentation on how the contracting process works. it was an open dialogue. we had some good questions, and i think their presentation helped the advisory council members understand the process for the items that you approve each month. the pedestrians safety committee -- pedestrian safety committee did a very brief update, and since this was a topic on the -- they hadn't met since the february advisory council in their meeting on friday, but they have us all

very much focused on pedestrian safety. i was monitoring count down clocks in d.c., and -- with the crosswalks. two site visits were given. we're getting better at our site visits. one of our members did the castro street visitors center, and then, the guy moon senior center, and both were positive reviews. we had our regular lgbt updates, and director mcspadden had reported on the fifth celebration of the lgbt task force. 11 of the 13 recommendations have been implemented, and there are two remaining that city committees are working on. and then, lastly, the dignity fund oversite and advisory committee, our representatives gave an update. the services -- disany time fund services and allocation plan for 2020 and 2023 funding

plan has been released, so that has -- and then, i gave an update on the c4a policy meeting that i had attended the week before d.c. >> thank you, diane. any comments or questions from the commission? >> i just wanted to make note of the fact that the lgbt senior task force was incubated in the h.r.c.s advisory committee which at two different time is in history, commission commissioner knutzen and i chaired, and it's great to see how far it's come. >> thank you. any other questions? any othquestions from the publ? diane. >> i'm right back. >> i'm working on getting a new chair for the leg committee, but we just lost a member so it may take a little bit. this was our first time looking

at the bills for this two-year session. there are 36 bills that are moving there and nine budget items. and our plan for this coming year is over time, we'll only track those bills where there are changes, and those that seem to have traction. given that it's a two-year cycle, we might not see some until next year. there are already some competing and conflicting bills. we're probably going to need to do some work to pull bills together, so we would expect to see some consolidation. a number of these -- some, no doubt, will be two-year bills, we can't figure out which ones those are since this will be a two-year cycle, but the time has passed for any new pieces of legislation to be introduced. and some of these are repeats, not only from last year, from last session, but the session before, so we'll keep moving there. so again, there are 36 bills.

there are five on the master plan on ageing. this is something the governor called for in his budget, and this is different than the older californiians act, which they're looking at. there's seven medi-cal bills, everything from increases and waivers and eligibilities. four on the older californiians act, i'll talk more about that from tfrom the tacc meeting. there's seven bills that are on long-term residential facilities. three for veterans housing and rent rental assistance and those that focus on veterans. elder and dependent care abuse and reporting. criminal background checks for care facility employees, i think there are two bills

there. ihss has a few in the hopper. alzheimer's, and the governor has established a task force on the subject and maria shriver is a key lead on there. scott wiener's introduced sb 10-75, the conservatorship bill. and then, senator wiener's also introduced a bill -- there's

one federal bill, which is on the money follows persons. this is hr-7217 by representative barton. he's out of texas, and it's to preserve -- it's an extension of the money follows person and of the spousal impoverishment provisions in medicare. and the policy was sent to the senate in december and nothing's been done. and the senior legislature is following the following six topics. labeling of prescriptions, which would have an opt out feature so if i didn't want it specified on the label what the underlying illness was, i could specify that. and at the tacc meeting, one of

our members mentioned that the disabled community is concerned about that because it makes it very obvious that -- what people are being cared for, so there are pros and cons on both sides there. transportation and seniors' access to transportation for medical care. this is very important in rural areas where you have extensive geography and not things like paratransit. elder abuse. this was a bill that saw last year that kind of got watered down, so we expect to see -- and there's some modifications there. veterans housing, affordable rental, fall safe housing. and then, there's one there are no bills yet, dental insurance, housing for the elderly, electric vehicle charging stations, and this would specify that there be a space for a van in electric vehicle charging areas, one on

homelessness and persons with disabilities. the goal here is when they do the counts of individuals, that they specify the number of homeness -- when they -- homeless, that they specify the counts of the number of seniors and those with disabilities. travel safety bills, this goes back to the grab bars we talked about last session where this would require public accommodation to have the grab bars. so we'll see where this goes, and we'll have more next month. >> thank you. diane, on the public safety issue, san francisco and other communities are pushing for greater bicycle lanes and more bicyclists, and speaking personally, i've never been rundown by an automobile, but i've been rundown by a bicyclists. and i often see them on sidewalks. the bicycle coalition is extremely well organized. is there any attempt to regulate bicyclists and have

them comply with the law? >> i think we have an ordinance in san francisco that basically gives them -- if there's no safety hazard, they can roll through. there was an accident this morning at 37th and fulton outside the golden gate park senior center, and i believe it was -- no, it was a car, and the driver stayed, and that person was taken. but i heard somebody on the news this morning comment, you know, about bicyclists hitting, so i think that's definitely a topic that the pedestrian safety and vision zero has just come out with some of its reports, and the city has responded to that, so i think that'll be a topic friday for our meeting. >> may i? >> yeah. >> what i think we're trying to do at the subcommittee level is come up with a list of things that we consider primary issues for seniors and the disabled so that we play a particularly

important, like, niche part of this whole discussion, and our goal will be that that become part of any of these vision zero reports, any of those advocacy efforts, they start to think about and incorporate those items. so as we learn them, as we gather our information, i'm going to -- not quite a bill of rights yet, but that kind of thing, where you have these -- and that would -- everything that people think of is welcome at this point, in other words, and we would try to incorporate that and have it go through a process where we agree and things like that on it. but that as we become advocates, people start to talk about the rights of seniors and pedestrians and the disabled as they're doing construction projects in the city, planning, you know? new transportation alternatives. so we're -- i feel like we felt like we really have a niche here, so it feels like we have

a good purpose, and that has definitely come up. >> thank you. >> it's everybody's concern. and just the length of the -- you know, we've talked about the count down clocks. vanness has been kind of our model to work from, and we're getting ready for geary, for work to be done there. they're getting ready to work on sloat, which is another one in my area, so it's a real concern. >> it's a challenge. >> and it's definitely a challenge. and there's so many groups. one thing that surprises us, there's so many groups. and then, we found out in this process, there is a county deputy of transportation, and we didn't realize there was a city department and a county department, but i found out the county department is probably where the federal money go. >> and we do have lots of ordinances in san francisco, but that doesn't step bicyclists from going on sidewalks.

>> i don't want to overstep vision zero, but it might be interesting to invite the bicycle coalition here to tell us about the measures they are undertaking to protect seniors. >> that's a good suggestion, yeah. okay. thank you. any other comments or questions regarding the advisory council for diane? any from the public? hearing none, diane, you get to stay again. >> okay. so -- i've been busy. >> it's okay, jessica. please come forward. my apology. >> hi. jessica lehman with senior and disability action. i think some of you would know i have some comments to make and i want to tell you i appreciate you bringing up this topic.

we have a senior disability and pedestrian safety work group that's led by walk sf and we're involved and several other senior and disability organizations are involved. we've been talking for years about the issue of bicycles on the sidewalk, and there was some work done many years ago that has improved it a lot? but it's illegal and people do get ticketed sometimes. that's been erratic, and unfortunately it's often been younger people of color in the tenderloin getting ticketed instead of -- just kind of racial and class disparities people getting ticketed that seems more like who do we want on our streets rather than seniors and people with disabilities, so just to kind of complicate that issue more. and the street crossing issue came up. i think last year, there was a big victory about getting m.t.a. to lengthen all of those crossing times. they do talk about the time that it will take to convert

intersections in the new crossing time in the new plan that was mentioned. i can't remember what it's called -- the plan -- the vision zero plan that m.t.a. put out a few weeks ago. so i believe their plan was to do it over five years, and so we will be pushing that, and hopefully, you can help, as well, that that's too long. we understand they have to go intersection by intersection, but that needs to happen faster. another crash just got mentioned that i hadn't heard about. i guess it was commissioner pappas that mentioned it, and obviously, we need to act more quickly to stop these crashes and deaths. thank you. >> thank you. any other comments or questions from the public? okay. diane thank you for that. tacc? >> so i attended the tacc meeting at the end -- or the beginning of february, and it was combined with the c4 dlsh a

meeting. as well. i'm just going to go briefly. one was the california community living act. basically, the older californiians act was last revised in 1997. there hasn't been a lot since then. they're looking at following a more federal model and doing some consolidation because you have 19 departments handling some of these -- some piece of ageing or disability programs. and then, that mirrors in the legislature with that many committees handling things. one of their goals is a no-wrong-door kind of a consolidation that you see with the adrcs, so if i make a call -- if i can't get help, at least i know where to go. talking about the adrcs, there's only seven in the state. and one of the members of tacc

commented on the independent living centers, of which there are few, and they provide that kind of living already. the second presentation was a representative from the scan foundation, and there was about a california master -- this was about a california master plan on ageing which is different than the older americans act. and this is something that the governor has mentioned in his state of the state, so there's already a piece of legislation that we're tracking on that. and the -- kind of the comprehensive statewide strategy that would include emergency planning, we saw some legislation around that last year. looking at alzheimer's issues, and there's a couple of bills about that. just a couple of things from the executive committee, the tax -- or there's a tax check

off for the senior legislature that's going well. they sent that to the governor, and they're looking to update their website. it was formed a committee of three, and it was suggested that tacc update as a way of letting local communities know. we talked a little at the commission on ageing about the commission on ageing at the state level. the governor has put moneys in the budget for the restoration of ihss servicing. the minaintenance of effort, a then, on the next day, there was a policy meeting. and assembly person nazarian

spoke with us, and we had a number of the members of the legislature come in and talk with us about the older americans act, and i went and talked with one of their representatives, and that was helpful. >> thank you, diane. it's been a busy month for you. any questions from the commission? thank you. case report? no case report. okay. the nominating committee report. commission commissioner vriheas. >> the nominating committee met on march 22nd. commissioner knutzen and commissioner pappas and myself, with the support from bridget, all came together and reviewed the candidates that were put forth to the department?

and we are -- i'll just read the names so everybody knows? dr. mary adelman -- okay. i thought so. all right. okay. great. got it. thank you. betty hammond, louise hines, and elizabeth ann warren, who's the ex-officio. and we all had a lot of comments, conversation around the level of commitment and our appreciation for the members of the council who have served, and we wanted to advance their names again this year, and we did so with unanimous vote? and we were -- yeah, so we did

so with a unanimous vote, and so we bring forward these names to you to the full commission to vote on the slate that we have brought forward to you. applications are also in your packets, so if there's any questions, we're happy to answer them. >> thank you. it's coming from the committee. we don't need a second, and any comments or questions from commissioners? any comments or questions from the public? hearing none, call the question. all in favor -- do we need to vote for them one at a time or can we -- >> clerk: one at a time. >> teacher: okay. for dr. marcy adelman to be reappointed, all in favor? any opposed. thank you. motion carries. for betty hammond, all in favor? any opposed? thank you. the motion carries. for louise hines, all in favor?

any opposed. thank you. the motion carries, and elizabeth warren, ex-officio, all in favor? any opposed? thank you. and thank all of these for their service and thank you to the committee for doing such a good job and such a thorough review. >> thank you. >> item number five, any old business? okay. item number six, new business. fanny lappitan will be here with the c.f.l. six-month annual report and update. good morning, fanny. >> good morning, commissioners and executive director mcspadden? my name is fanny lapitan, program analyst in long-term care operations at daas, and i'm happy to be here today to present the six-month report and annual plan. i'd like to start with a quick

review of c.l.f. the community living fund was created in 2006 to allow ageing in place for individuals who may otherwise require care in an institution. an ordinance in the san francisco code requires that daas provides costs incurred every six months along with an annual plan for implementation of the program. my report today will be fulfilling this requirement. c.f.l. uses a two pronged approach of coordinated case management and production of goods and services. the program services adult san francisco residents whose incomes are up to 300% of the fefrl poverty level, who are willing and/or able to live in

the community, and have resources that will prevent institutionalization. the target population includes individuals ready for discharge from laguna honda san francisco, zuckerberg san francisco general hospital and other skilled nursing facilities or individuals who are at imminent risk of institutional placement but are willing or able to live in the community with support. i'd like to share just a few notable highlights in the reports? c.l.f. received a total of 111 referrals. although a decrease from the prior period, this number is generally consistent with calls over the life of the program. most of these calls or 70% were

eligible for c.l.f. during this reporting period, c.l.f. served 370 clients in total with 70% receiving intensive case management and receiving case management and services through i.o.a. and 102 receiving rental and subsidies through brilliant corners. brilliant corners is our contracting partner or scattered site placements and rental housing subsidy administration. two were from laguna honda, one was from another s.n.z., and one was from the community and diverted from

institutionalization. during 2018, the overall client satisfaction with the program increased from 79% to 92%. survey results for services meeting clients' needs also increased from 81% to 97% and clients overall reported that the program meets or exceeds their needs or expectations with 92% having recommended the program to others. and then, moving onto the annual plan for july 2019 through june 2020, the integrated housing model will continue into fiscal year 19-20 to facilitate the care, coordination and transition of individuals from laguna honda or other s.n.f.s to other scattered site housing in the community. again, scattered site housing subsidy and rental assistance

is in collaboration with brilliant corners. c.l.f. will continue to support the animal bonding services for isolated lgbt and adults with disabilities through shanti paws. c.l.f. helps increase the capacity of paws to assist low-income and frail individuals who meet c.l.f. criteria for tangible goods and services such as pet supplies, pet food, and vet services. the c.l.f. program will also continue its aim to serve a population that is representative of san francisco's diverse population.

i.o.a. is targeting efforts to increase reach to a broader ethnic demographic, specifically, the a.p.i. population. these efforts include adding a partnership with self-help for the elderly, hosting a number of a.p.i. focused roundtables and presentations, and they are currently in the process of hiring two additional bilingual care managers, one japanese speaking and another chinese speaking. i.l.a. will continue these and additional efforts into fiscal year 19-20 to increase the enrollment from the a.p.i. community. of note, a.p.i. enrollment in the program has increased from 17% to 20% during this reporting period. at this time, i'd be happy to answer any questions the commissioners may have. >> thank you, fanny. any comments or questions from the commission? martha, commissioner knutzen. it works. >> i pushed the button and it works. just a couple questions.

thank you for this comprehensive report. it's always such a great foundation and usually i don't have any questions after that. just is there any cause of concern for -- you said a significant decrease from the prior period, but generally consistent with trends over the program. so is there any cause for concern or anything that we should know about or is it just a blip? >> yeah. let me -- are you referring to the referrals? >> yeah, i'm sorry, the referrals on page one in that report, yeah. >> yeah. we -- there -- we -- there aren't any concerns at this time because it's sort of -- it's still the trend from previous reports. and also, in general, we've seen a decrease in referrals for other programs, as well, so it's not just the c.l.f. program, so at this time, we have no significant concerns about it. but of course, we do continue to increase our efforts to

increase the referrals. >> okay. and that's what you're doing around the increased outreach? >> exactly. >> that's what -- you're doing. all right. and so the second question -- actually, it seemed like good news. it's on page four, and you mentioned it, just the fact that overall satisfaction had increased from 79 to 92%. can you give us any particular good reasons for that or anything that you could say point to that would be a cause for that? just wanted to say that's good -- >> yeah. >> -- and was there -- >> i haven't seen the narrative or anecdotal comments that may be associated with that satisfaction. i have matthew from c.l.f. here that -- he might have that information. i'd like to call him up. >> yeah, because it seems statistically significant to me. >> yeah. it's a really big news. >> yeah. >> good morning. so the improvement in every all -- >> can you please speak into the microphone.

>> can you please state your name. >> and your name, please. >> my name is matthew molet, the director of the community living fund on the institute on ageing. the increase from 72 to 91% is partly due to the way we're continuing to outreach our clients. we've increased our case management load, increased our overall case managers and their ability to continue to meet their needs in creative ways. we've promoted some case managers from within which has enabled us to bring in some outside case manager that have brought in some new ideas and new ways to meet the clients' needs. >> okay. well. thank you. >> any other questions? fanny, i just have one. we read a great deal about displacement in the city of

low-income people and particularly seniors. are you seeing any of that in this recent decline -- is there anything to be concerned about that you've been noticing for the c.l.f.? >> i personally have not, but i have seen reports that yes, that is a concern, and c.l.f. continues to look at that and see how we can best address those issues and those concerns with, you know -- with our resources at this time. >> okay. thank you. >> yeah. yeah. >> and any other comments or questions? okay. thank you, fanny. >> thank you. >> oh, any public comment or -- on questions? none? okay -- oh . >> i -- >> can you please state your name. >> oh, my name is sophia

vienda, and i just recently attended -- i didn't hear enough about lgbt outreach, and i am a client of open house, but will i have to go to c.l.f. or are you collaborating with -- >> i'm sorry. speak into the microphone, please. >> speak into the microphone. >> i know they mentioned lgbt communities, but are you doing outreach to open house where there's a large outreach to lgbt seniors. i just wanted to make sure that we're included in this 93 -- 98% customer satisfaction. i think we're excluded, so could she kindly address that? thank you. >> thank you for that question. >> excuse me. but can i just remind the audience that public comment is only for -- it's an opportunity

for the public to state their opinion and for the commission and staff to listen only? and in the -- we can get his name and contact information and we can refer to staff on that to get him some more help. >> thank you for that. >> thank you, bridget. thank you. any other comments or questions from the public? item a, requesting authorization to modify the existing contract agreement with panoramic software, inc, for an additional amount of $969,660 plus a 10% contingency for a total amount not to exceed $2,386,626. thank you, thomas mcgeorge. >> thank you. good morning, commissioners and director mcspadden. my name is thomas mcgeorge,

project manager from the department of ageing and adult services. >> i'm sorry. can you please speak into the mic? thank you. >> my name is thomas mcgeorge, project manager from the department of ageing and assault services. i am requesting permission to modify the existing contract software agreement with panoramic software, inc. i would like to request to extend services for an additional four years during the period of july 1, 2019 through june 30, 2023 for the provision of software licensing, monthly maintenance, user support, analysis research, procedure development, and banking activities for the public administrator, public guardian, representative p.e., and the

katey veterans services office. the web based services is proprietary software that will allow us to track clients under conservetorships as required by daas and the state of california. the contractor will also did e develop a referral enhancement model to the system to be able to better track, locate, and report out to be able to accept new referrals from the community and city partners as well as hospitals. i am happy to answer any questions you may have. thank you. >> thank you very much. any comments or questions from the commission? any comments or questions from the public? hearing none, may i have a motion to approve?

>> so moved. >> do i have a second? >> second. >> thank you. any other comments? all in favor? any opposed? [gavel]. >> thank you. the motion carries. thank you very much. item b, requesting authorization to modify the existing grant agreement with southwest community corporation for the provision of community service health and fitness programming during the period of july 1, 2019 through june 30, 2020, for an additional amount of $100,000 plus a 10% contingency for a new total amount not to exceed $599,825. thank you. lin linda murley. >> good morning. i seek your approval to modify the community services grant agreement with the southwest community corporation to support health programming at

the i.t. bookman multipurpose community center. the i.t. bookman center is located on randolph street in the oceanside area of the city. it's in the southeast area of the city. i.t. bookman serves a primarily african american constituency, and more than half of the people who go there are over 75 years old. the african american health anywhere tiff issued its 2018 health on the report of african americans in san francisco, and the report revealed that asian pacific islander, caucasion, and latinos live an average of ten years longer than african americans in san francisco. exercise increases the amount to live longer independently,

fights depression, and alzheimer's disease. it will enhance physical and cogniti cognitive health. the community center will also have activities going on on saturdays, so there'll be an increase of 50 units of service this year and 190 next year. some funding this year are going to be spent on buying some new tables and chairs for the center. the chairs -- i've been there several times. the chairs are really old, and when you exercise, it's good to have something to be able to lean on or stand -- or lean against. some exercises will be chair exercises. the table's the same situation. you need something to balance on and help to get up. the chairs are going to have wheels on them so they can be easily moved. they're also going to have locks so they don't go roaming

freely. so some funding -- i'm sorry. let me go back to where i was. an activity coordinate i don't remember is going to be hired to help facilitate all of this to make sure it's going well. the voters in san francisco voted in favor of the sugar owe beverages tax proposition in november 2016. this is prop v. the money is coming from prop v because low-income ethnic minorities and youth consume more sugary drinks than the general population and disproportionate disproportionately suffer from more health communities, more money is going to help with health issues. may i answer any questions? >> thank you, linda. any comments or questions? commissioner liu? >> yeah, i'm wondering, what kind of table is, like, $500 for a table? >> i believe they're called nesting tables so that they can be folded up and easily moved?

one of the things for both participants and staff at a community center is to be able to move things easily and store things, so they're more expensive -- i think you can get, like, a $30 table from target that's a plastic table that is not going to withstand years of service, is not as strong, and is not as easy to move. >> yeah, i thought it was quite expensive for $500 for a table. >> well, i know that the executive director will be looking at the best way to spend her money. there are tables at the center now, but they belong to another provider, and they're very old, and they're these plastic ones that are just not very strong. >> well, i hope they will last as long as i left. >> i hope so, too, commissioner. i hope you last a really long time. >> thank you. >> thank you, commissioner liu. any other questions or comments from the commission? any comments or questions from the public? hearing none, may i have a

motion to approve? >> so moved. >> do i have a second? >> second. >> thank you. any other comments? >> thank you. >> all in favor? any opposed? [gavel]. >> thank you. the motion carries. item c, requesting authorization to modify the existing grant agreement with mission neighborhood health center for the provision of intergenerational program during the period of january 1, 2019 through june 30, 2021 for an additional amount of $45,418 plus a 10% contingency for a total amount not to exceed $199,265. welcome tiffany kearney. >> good morning, commissioners, executive director mcspadden.

the program wallcalled weaving hearts is a community weaving program, the second is a community percussion program, and the third is a cooking class. the modification presented today for the commission's approval adds funding that will enable mission neighborhood center to offer the cooking class and music class more often starting next fiscal year. intergenerational programming, as you may recall, is a recommendation in the dignity fund needs assessment report. weaving hearts not only meets excuse meer demand for intergenerational programming, but it also helps to address other needs and gaps identified in the report. consumer participation rate in district nine where mission neighborhood center is located was noted to below when compared to other districts citywide and consumers living

in this district expressed a need for more programs that provide opportunities for consumers to engage in creative arts, such as music, and for programs that celebrate culture, such as a cooking class that focuses on traditional hispanic and latino foods and celebrations. [please stand by]
