2:03 pm
again, this contract is a critical component of our continuum of services as it provides homecare services to ihss consumers who have an immediate need but no available provider to serve them. emergency on-call is typically required in two instances. one being a consumer's at regular regular provider cancelled on short notice, or the provider quit abruptly, which could result in the consumer being at risk without homecare. another circumstance is when a consumer is discharged from a hospital and/or a skilled nursing facility, but lacks a support system and has no other provider in place. emergency on-call providers are

2:10 pm
>> good morning, commissioners. today we seek your approval for a grant modification with community living campaigns reserve program. recently this program has expanded and it was maybe two months ago that we were here to include additional community partners in the jobs now program to expand the footprint of employment for older adults and adults with disabilities and reach more to find employment. the program seeks to promote the department's broader vision to open up more employment opportunities for older adults and out of the disabilities throughout san francisco. as a side note, tomorrow the reserve program and work matters event over on the first units on 1187 franklin, there are flyers up on the table if you are interested. i also want to make a side note, they were able to provide interpreters in cantonese and in spanish of individuals called within 72 hours prior to the
2:11 pm
event, which is a wonderful option to have for folks. so this event, community partners. there will be a forum discussing employment opportunities, opportunities to network, we are also providing lunch. with that, i'm happy to answer any questions you may have. >> anything from the commission? anything from the public? okay. we are ready. >> i will move to approve. >> second. >> we have been moved, seconded, and we call for the vote. all in favor say aye. >> aye. >> motion carries. requesting authorization to modify the existing grant agreement with open house for the provision of the housing resources for older adults and
2:12 pm
adults with disability during the period of july first, 2019 through june 30th, 2020. and an additional amount of $24,000 plus 10% contingency for a total amount not to exceed $50,000. michael is presenting. >> hello, i am subbing in this morning and i will be joining you on the rest of today's journey through the agenda. the item before you is a housing list that is put together by one of our contractors, relatively straightforward. we research and public published a multi- a front of a housing list. it is for san francisco opportunities as well as local bay area county opportunities in the surrounding area. they have compiled their list by researching various housing resources including the housing authority and the various counties, property management companies, nonprofit real estate
2:13 pm
development companies, and other government and nonprofit resources that they have just become aware of as they built their expertise around us. they keep the list fresh by having staff and volunteers on a regular basis to make sure it is correct. the list is now to over 4,000 -- sent out to 4,000 e-mail addresses. they have additional impact as those be -- end up being forwarded on and on. i end up with three or four forwards each month, so i think the forward button is a good thing in the e-mail. the list itself is available only in english. , though the open house grantee does work closely with our aging and disability resource centre. there's a network of 13 of them in the community to provide translation support as needed at those locations. i think that is my summary. if you have any questions about this, i would be happy to answer >> does it just list affordable housing opportunities or is it
2:14 pm
is expanded to include others, other tips for people who wouldn't qualify for a housing. >> that's a great question. >> it's in that gap area there. >> i think it focuses on affordable housing options. i think there is a range of what that means. it includes other tips, it includes an f.a.q. section with about searching for housing and has other resources listed in there. it is not a full compendium of all opportunities. >> right, i just wondered how much because of the fact that people fall into this middle income gap. they can't find housing in san francisco and they don't qualify for affordable so i wonder if they had expanded at all into that area. >> i can double check on that. i don't think so. >> i was just curious. thank you. this is great anyway. it is still very helpful.
2:15 pm
thank you. >> i know the mayor's office of housing do something similar to this. is this in any relationship? >> i think you're maybe referring to dahlia? maybe there's something out there that i don't know of. i guess i would note that there is they dahlia online system, it is a portal that has been developed by mohcd or h.s.h., i'm not totally sure. i have talked with them about this. there is a question of if there is one great resource, i think that is always something the community has been hoping for. open house just tell me that that resource, when they go and look at that, they find that it is almost completely accurate and rarely do they find a san francisco opportunity that is not on there. i think that is a very good thing. >> the reason i ask is because they presented before the lgbt task force of the human rights
2:16 pm
commission when they launched, and i was curious as to what the difference between this and that was. >> this historically predates the dahlia system. i think we have a potential overlap now. i think other aspects of this is dahlia does not cover nonsan francisco opportunities, and this does. >> thank you. any other comments work questions from the commission? any questions or comments from the public? hearing none, we go. >> moved to approve. >> second. >> it is being moved, seconded, call for the vote. all in favor say aye. >> aye. >> opposed? motion carries. thank you. finally, is dead -- z-letter. requesting authorization to enter into a new grant agreement
2:17 pm
with the institute for the provision of the long term care program during the period of july first, 2019 through june 30 th 2021 in the amount of $1 million plus a 10% contingency for a total amount not to exceed $120 million. michael again. >> this is an ombudsman program. the program itself provides a variety of advocacy services on behalf of residents of skilled nursing and assisted living facilities. i think people most commonly associate ombudsman with responding to complaints by residents, but they do provide another -- other services as well including providing consultation to residents, families and facilities themselves. they have to serve as a witness
2:18 pm
to any advanced healthcare directives that are completed in a sniffer and assisted living facility. they also participate in larger systems advocacy work including a legislative hearing, implementation processes, you may have seen benson at various meetings, he is quite active in the community with the many things that are going on. it is a measure of their work in the current fiscal year, the office met has already provided services over 2400 clients, this is from july 1st 2018 to the present. it has responded to approximately 470 complaints thus far this year. language capacity, program staff includes cantonese, mandarin, spanish, french and japanese. that is something that they are always looking to work on and building out capacity. something i always like to highlight when i discussed this program is there volunteer corps , which is at about 20 volunteers. it is notable for two reasons.
2:19 pm
first that bringing in a lot of volunteers really expands can pass -- capacity, but a volunteer ombudsman program has to go through extensive training so there is training and retention aspects to that volunteer. i think it is 40 hours of initial training and shadowing to become a certified volunteer, in 12 hours of ongoing, continuing education each year thereafter to maintain that certification. i like to highlight that as it is an important and difficult task for them to maintain that core. with that said, i'm happy to answer any questions. >> comments on the commission? comments from the public? hearing none, good. we are coming to the end. [laughter]. >> we have to vote on this one. >> so moved. >> i will second. >> okay. it is moved, seconded, all in
2:20 pm
favor say aye. >> aye. >> thank you. >> motion approved. o. it is not finished yet here. [laughter] any general comment from the public? any announcements? >> commissioner, i have an announcement. our former commissioner as a father, so he and his wife had their baby on april 25th at 2:00 a.m., two in the afternoon, actually, and they named her babette marie, and they say about her, she is a respectable 8.5 ounces when she was born, but the little -- with a little alley cat wrinkle in one year and a full head of hair, and a fighting spirit. i thought you'd want to know that. we all know jeremy and miss him on the commission, but it is
2:21 pm
exciting news for him. >> thank you for letting us know we have a motion to adjourn the meeting. >> so moved. >> meeting adjourned. thank you for coming.
2:22 pm
[gavel] >> chair fewer: good morning everyone. the meet willing come to order. this is may 1, 2019 regular meeting of the budget and finance committee. i'm sandra lee fewer. i'm joined by supervisor walton and raphael mandelman. clerk, do you have any announcements. [announcements] >> chair fewer: thank you very much. colleagues may i have a motion to excuse supervisor stefani
2:23 pm
from this meeting? without objection, thank you very much. please call item number one. [agenda item read] >> chair fewer: thank you very much. we have the director of d.p.h. business office. >> we're here for this contract. this is a check-writing contract for the purpose of purchasing items that fall into categories which aren't feasible. set up contracts or issue timely reimbursements for items that are client need. approximately around 12 to 15 million payments annualing
2:24 pm
and over the past five years about 50,000 of that total is for the cost of the check fees. hr360 vendor received $22 per check. it's quite a small portion of the amount we're paying for. of the funding category bucket, the main bucket is for residential care facilities it's about $11 million annually. what that pays for is a patch woman who live in the residential board and care hom homes. we pay about 500 patches per month to about 58 separate operators. that average patch or the base patch we thought specialty is $22 per day. i like to come in main type --
2:25 pm
it wouldn't work for licensed operators to enter intoth contract. the monitoring for this contract is of the vendor. what we monitor annually have vendor do with timely payment, correct reporting, charges the correct accounts. the items that are in here aren't programmed. they are not monitored separately. they are part of wherever they fall. like the residential care facilities is part of our unit, which is called transitions which goes out and checks on the well being of the clients that are living there. that's how that's monitored. then those are licensed facilities. we're getting ready to start the solicitation for this.
2:26 pm
we finished all our other behavioral health solicitation. we hope to get it in place no later than next july. we have 18-month extension request just in case. just in case hr360 isn't the selected vendor. it's very insurance if there's no gap. otherwise, we're in agreement with the budget legislative analyst report. >> chair fewer: thank you very much. colleagues any questions or comments? seeing none. could we please have report from the b.l.a.? >> good morning. yes, the board asked to approve the fourth amendment for check writing services by health right 360s. original contract was entered in 2009 with
2:27 pm
asian-american recovery services which merged into health right 360. this could extend the contract 18 months. the board did approved it through june 2019. our understanding is to allow for solicitation of a new vendor for the services. the contract amount over the 18-month extension period including a contingency is approximately $27 million. we consider that to be reasonable. there was just a difference between what the legislation says in terms of the contract increase and the actual increase that's needed under this legislation. >> chair fewer: are there any members of the public that like to comment. seeing none, public comment is
2:28 pm
closed. i like to make a motion to accept the amendment from the b.l.a. and if we can take that without objection. thank you. i move this with a positive recommendation amended to the full board. thank you very much. please call item 2. [agenda item read] >> chair fewer: thank you very much. >> good morning. i'm with the san francisco international airport. the item before you seeks your approval to award a new contract to bombardier transportation for the operation and maintenance of the airtrain system. the contract has original term of 10 years beginning july 1,
2:29 pm
2019. the airport agrees with the budget analyst recommendation before you to amend the legislation to return to the board of supervisors if the airport exercises the option to extend the contract term for an additional five years. the contract has not exceed amount $219,541,698. the contract includes several capital asset replacement program tasks but will include customer satisfaction and airtrain reliability. it will replace vital components on each airtrain vehicle which will extend the operating life of the system. bombardier installed the current airtrain system and has provided the services to operate and maintain the airtrain since its opening in march of 2003. bombardier has met all obligations and maintained system availability rating above
2:30 pm
99.6%. airtrain is a proprietary system operated by bombardier equipment. the office of contract administration waived the solicitation requirement for this contract under the administrative code. the original contract was the result of a competitive request for proposal process. in order to ensure that the airport was negotiated competitive and fair price for this new contract, a staff engaged a third party to review comparative costs for the annual operation of similar systems throughout the united states including systems operating at atlanta airport as well as denver and dallas fort worth. the review indicated that compared to these other contracts at similar airports, the current contract will have an annual saving of around $1.2 million. the pricing for this contract has been negotiated through the
2:31 pm
original 10-year term as well as the 5-year extension if that is exercised. the budget analyst has reviewed and approved made the recommendation that we return to you if we exercised the additional 5-year option which we agree to. i would be happen to answer questions. >> chair fewer: any questions. let's hear from the budget analyst please. >> the board of supervisors ask to approve new contract with bombardier for airtrain operation and maintenance. this is a soul source contract because of the proprietary nature of the airtrain. there was a third party assessment by the engineering reasonableness of the cost of the contract. we showed the contract budget for the first 10 years on page 9 fable 1 of our report. it's $200 million for the base contract. there are annual increases in each year of about 3%. there's also a capital project component on page 10, table 2
2:32 pm
which is about $18 million in capital improvements to the contract. we recommend an amend to clarify that the 5-year extension will be subject to board of supervisors approval. >> chair fewer: thank you very much. are there members of the public it like to comment on item number 2? seeing none, public comment is closed. i like to approve the amendment from the b.l.a. if we can take that without objection. move to full board as amended. thank you very much. item 3 please.

[agenda item read] >> chair fewer: thank you very much.
2:36 pm
we have the director of real estate here. >> good morning chair fewer, supervisor walton, supervisor mandelman. i'm the director of real estate. i have with me jamie from the office of public finance who will speak to you as part of this presentation going to the details of the c.o.p. financing. i'm seeking your recommendation for the two resolutions before you. it would authorize the purchase of real property located at 814 through 820 bryant street and 476th street. gained lots are approximately 24,000 square feet with a single use mcdonald's building consisting approximately 2000 square feet. do we have the slides? thank you.
2:37 pm
the purchase price is $11,520,000 or $480 per square foot. with transaction cost and site preparation, the acquisition cost is not to exceed $12 million. in january 2016 the board of supervisors gave oral direction to the real estate division to negotiate the acquisition of some of the parcels on this block which is adjacent to the h.o.j. and anticipation of a future rebuilding of the hall of justice. you can see in this slide here, the acquisition that is currently before you is outlined in red. in june 2016, the board of supervisors approved the acquisition of 456 street of
2:38 pm
$2.4 million. with the acquisition of this current site combined with the prior acquisition we would now have a development site. long-term use of the site is replacement of administrative building to consolidate criminal justice functions currently decamped from the hall of justice in lease space or those that have been relocated to the east wing of the hall of justice. i would like to thank mayor breed, along with the cot sponsors, supervisor haney and supervisor peskin and support in this legislation. i like to thank the b.l.a. for their hard work and recommendation. with the review appraisal and approval of the c.o.p.s that the b.l.a. will support this tumitem item. with chapter 23 there was an appraisal and review appraisal
2:39 pm
and both confirmed that the purchase prices at or below market value. like to turn it over to jamie who will walk you through the c.o.p.s. >> thank you. good morning supervisors. as mentioned in addition to authorization to acquire the bryant street and sixth street properties. it authorizes the execution and certificates of participation and commercial paper notes to finance the cost of the acquisition as well as costs demolition and site preparation work. also before you today item 5 to you a compan-- appropriating ths the certificates and commercial paper note in order to finance the acquisition and site work as just described by the director of real estate. the certificates will finance
2:40 pm
the 11.5 million in acquisition costs and approximately 19,000 in closing fees. director of real estate estimates $642,000 will be used for demolition. the total approximate budget is $12 million which will makes up the entire not to exceed project budget. the certificates and commercial paper notes are expected to be executed and delivered in the not to exceed $16 million which is sufficient to fully pay the costs the $12 million project but also include additional $3.5 million for delivery costs associateassociated with the isf the certificates and commercial paper notes. the not to exceed authorization and appropriation amount also includes 465 thousand dollars contingency for such issuance costs to allow for market fluctuations in the market conditions during the final sale of the certificates. the current plan of finance
2:41 pm
using the city's commercial paper program which was established in 2010, to finance the initial project cost. the office of public finance uses commercial paper as an interim financing tool which will be paid for by the issuance of the certificates of participation. in order to use commercial paper as an interim financing tool, the board of supervisors must first authorize a long-term repayment source. based on an approximate 5% of all interest costs on a $16 million certificate of participation, office of public finance estimates maximum annual debt service will be approximately $1.23 million per year for a term of 20 years. the incremental debt service associated with the certificates are assumed in recently adopted 10-year capital plan and complies with the city's policy of limiting the general fund debt service payments at or below 3.25% of the general
2:42 pm
fundiefunddiscretionary revenue. in order it use the city's commercial paper program, the office of public finance will return to board of supervisors prior to the final sale of the certificates of participation to seek the board's approval of all related financing documents. including lease agreements, trust agreements, notices of sale, continuing disclosure certificates and preliminary official statement which closes the city financial information to investors. at that time, our office will present on the current interest rate market anticipate the structure and discussed proposed city-owned asset. i'm available to answer any questions related to the financing.
2:43 pm
>> chair fewer: any comments or questions? supervisor walton. >> supervisor walton: quick question. if this approve, will we be able to purchase by the may time line? >> thank you supervisor. the answer is yes. we have negotiated with the sellers to give us little bit of flexibility. we're prepared to deposit $1 million into escrow in may. that along with the approval of the board of supervisors will buy us some time to finalize the transaction. if we need to go past may date, we have flexibility. >> chair fewer: i wanted to know whether or not -- i see on this map that we are purchasing the surrounding area of current hall of justice. i'm sorry, there's no page number on here. >> i think that's page 3.
2:44 pm
>> chair fewer: that's correct. we're hoping to consolidate the functions of the hall of justice and the personnel into one site together that is the plan. this is the acquisition part of that. is that correct? >> thank-- that's correct. this acquisition gives us more flexibility than we had before. instead of having to relocate and rebuild on the existing hall of justice site, we're growing the pie little bit. that give us swing space to build a larger and better hall of justice facility. it give us flexibility to shuffle personnel around during the construction period. >> chair fewer: i see there are other sites also that round out this whole block. are those other parcels that are adjacent to what you are
2:45 pm
requesting funding for? are any of those other lots available? >> can we pull up the slide? yes as i stated previously, outlined in green is a site currently owned by the city outlined-ioutlined in red is tht acquisition. if you look to the right of the red, you see two parcels. one is the credit union and the other is an s.r.o. those are not site sites that ae contemplated part of the h.o.j. rebuild. you will see one parcel that is represented by a long building that is just above the green box. that is a site that we have had often with discussions with the property owner. if we can resolve our
2:46 pm
negotiations successfully, we might acquire that site. however, with this acquisition, acquiring that last site is not required. we have a developable site. we can move forward with this site with or without that last building. >> chair fewer: i'm thinking it might be prudent to see how much property we can actually buy in that area. if it's for sale. i get there's an s.r.o. there. i believe it's not the sheriff's credit union but it's the police credit union there. i'm a member there. >> i mess smoke. >> chair fewer: that's fine. s.r.o. site is not for sale either? >> to acquire the s.r.o. who require significant amount of relocation expenses because of the residents there.
2:47 pm
also the politics of displacing low income units made that site less desirable. >> chair fewer: that parcel on the side adjacent to the green what it used for? >> we have been in communications with the owner. i don't want to go into details on public television. they have been reluctant in the past, we hope that renewed efforts will bear fruit. >> chair fewer: all the properties being actually in central soma and western soma is the last place we were able to purchase land.
2:48 pm
>> i concur. >> chair fewer: any comments or questions? can we hear from the b.l.a. please? >> yes, supervisors. item number 5 actually approves the acquisition of the two parcels adjacent to the hall of justice. item 4 approves appropriations of the funds. if you look at page 18 table 2, it shows the acquisition cost up to $12 million and the total cost for the certificates of participation up to $16 million. she explained the process. she explained the board would need to approve subsequent legislation associated with selling the certificates of participation. the city does have a debt policy. there's a limit of 3.25% of discretionary general fund revenue for outstanding debt. that does not include general
2:49 pm
obligation bond debt. it would be within that policy. when we wrote the report, we have not received the appraisal review. we did receive the appraisal review last night. it does confirm the purchase praise of this property at $11.5 million. i believe the board approved the capital plan yesterday. we recommend approval. >> chair fewer: thank you very much any members of the public like to comment on item 4 or 5? good morning mr. wright. >> i don't have any objections, i want to highlight that this is the person that you want to talk to as far as property owned about the city in order to build affordable housing pertaining to my demonstrations where apartment buildings is being built for $56 million which is the lowest rate out of all buildings of the developers
2:50 pm
that's building businesses in san francisco. supervisor walton and we did a comparison and contrast on the projects that he's working on and we came up with a total of $66 million saving by using the idea of a developer on a project that's being built in mountain view and same type of result took place when we looked at another apartment building complex that was being built in san mateo. i would like to point that out, any land available you can consult with the director here to take care of the homeless problem and housing people in low income and very low income brackets. >> chair fewer: thank you very much. any other public comment. public comment is now closed.
2:51 pm
i like to make a motion to prove items 4 and 5 to the board with a positive recommendation. can we take that without objection? yes, thank you very much. please call item 6. [agenda item read] >> chair fewer: we have pat mulligan. director of office of labor centre enforcement. >> thank you supervisor fewer mandelman and walton. this is the annual submittal before the board of supervisors for approval of prevailing page provisions. this includes the approximately 63 classifications identified with about 200 subclassifications. it includes the 10
2:52 pm

when i meet with seniors in the community, they're thinking about the future. some want to down size or move to a new neighborhood that's closer to family, but they also worry that making such a change will increase their property taxes. that's why i want to share with you a property tax saving program called proposition 60. so how does this work? prop 60 was passed in 1986 to allow seniors who are 55 years and older to keep their prop 13 value, even when they move into a new home. under prop 13 law, property growth is limited to 2% growth a year. but when ownership changes the law requires that we reassess the value to new market value. compared to your existing home, which was benefited from the -- which has benefited from the prop 13 growth limit on taxable value, the new limit on the replacement home would likely be higher. that's where prop 60 comes in.
2:59 pm
prop 60 recognizes that seniors on fixed income may not be able to afford higher taxes so it allows them to carryover their existing prop 13 value to their new home which means seniors can continue to pay their prop 13 tax values as if they had never moved. remember, the prop 60 is a one time tax benefit, and the property value must be equal to or below around your replacement home. if you plan to purchase your new home before selling your existing home, please make sure that your new home is at the same price or cheaper than your existing home. this means that if your existing home is worth $1 million in market value, your new home must be $1 million or below. if you're looking to purchase and sell within a year, were
3:00 pm
you nur home must not be at a value that is worth more than 105% of your exist egging home. which means if you sell your old home for $1 million, and you buy a home within one year, your new home should not be worth more than $1.15 million. if you sell your existing home at $1 million and buy a replacement between year one and two, it should be no more than $1.1 million. know that your ability to participate in this program expires after two years. you will not be able to receive prop 60 tax benefits if you cannot make the purchase within two years. so benefit from this tax savings program, you have to apply. just download the prop 60 form from our website and submit it
