you [gavel]. >> supervisor fewer: good morning, everyone. this is the budget and finance committee, wednesday, october 23, 2019. i am sandra lee fewer, chair of the budget and finance committee. i am joined by supervisors raphael mandelman and catherine

stefani. madam clerk, do you have any announcements for us all today? >> clerk: yes. [agenda item read]. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. madam clerk, would you please call item number one. >> clerk: yes. [agenda item read]. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much, and we have mr. jeremy spitz from the department of public works. >> good morning, chair and supervisors.

i am jeremy spitz from the department of public works. >> this is an emergency to repair the hvac at 1235 mission street. it is owned by the san francisco unified school district and leased by the distribution agency. there are three hvac units on the top of the building. two of them were unoperational. then, on october 3, the final unit failed, and temperatures in the building reached over 90°. h.s.a. is currently using portable units so it is

comfortable. i am joined today by scby seve of the staff, and we are happy to answer your questions. >> supervisor fewer: thank you. supervisor stefani? >> supervisor stefani: just a quick question. did we understand the extent of the repairs at the time we entered into the lease? >> sure. i'm going to turn that over to scott wall. >> yes. would you mind repeating that? >> supervisor stefani: yes. i'm wondering if we understood the tenant improvements that were needed at the time we actually entered the lease? >> so the lease was entered into before my time as director, but i would say

mantha estimathat estimate was on the low end for tenant costs. that was about $6 million per the lease, but after further investigation and going through the systems, that does look like it was not enough to complete all the necessary repairs to the building. >> supervisor stefani: okay. so going forward, is there a way that you've identified to prevent that from happening in the future? >> yes. quite frankly, we need to do a much better job at assessing building systems going forward and make sure that those are accounted for in any lease negotiations, especially lease renewal. >> supervisor stefani: okay. and so will any protocols be put in place to ensure that happens? >> absolutely. what i will do as director of h.s.a. is i would shawork with colleagues at the department of

public works to make sure they have an opportunity to design on what repairs may be necessary going forward. in addition to that, we've been actively entering items into the city's srrm system through real estate to flag any future potential issues using the standard useful life of various equipment. >> supervisor stefani: okay. thank you. >> supervisor fewer: i'm sorry. your name, again? >> my name is robert walsh. i'm the director of operations for human services. >> supervisor fewer: thank you, mr. walsh. it seems in the b.l.a. report that under the terms of the lease of 2014 between h.s.a. and sfusd -- and actually, i was sitting on the board of education at that time, i vaguely remember this agreement -- there were tenants

improvements of $6 million of which 2.5 were h.s.a. and 3.5 were the city's share, and the repairs were to be made by 2017. according to mr. walsh, which i believe would be you, the repairs were not made because it went to correcting other issues in the building at that time, including elevator repairs along with associated soft costs, so what we see here is that at the time of their agreement, there was $6 million being put toward tenant improvements and the hvac system was supposed to have been upgraded by 2017, and so we're here at 2019 with no surprise that it failed. and i'm just wondering if you might respond to that.

>> certainly. i would say that i wish it were repaired, but to be just very honest about it, we did know that there were some issues with hvac system, we did not know the extent of it. and the difficult decision was to put the dollars that sfusd had remaining in their $3.5 million was to the more immediate things. and it was one of those situations where there is no good decision to be made. and while i'm here now, discussing hvac, we may have had issues with the life and safety system, so we -- i'm getting long winded here, but i just -- >> supervisor fewer: sure. >> it was a difficult decision to make, most definitely, we tried to do some repairs, but the repairs were not enough to

get the system back on-line. >> supervisor fewer: so it seems as though the patching up was what you might need, but a complete overhaul was never done. >> yeah, that's absolutely correct. >> chair fewer: you, mr. walsh, i think it's-dit's -- you know, these buildings are old, but my concern is for the people in these buildings. these buildings are old, and it got to the situation where we had to evacuate those people. we got to this point, and it is an emergency situation. so could i hear from the b.l.a., please? >> chair fewer, members of the

committee, fred burso from the budget and legislative analyst's office. declaring the emergency allows for the sole source procurement for the project. we did review the $6 million that was initially allowed for for repairs and as you have summarized, the hvac system was not repaired as originally anticipated, nor were electrical systems or plumbing systems all of which the city is responsible for. so we are recommending approval of the resolution, but adding to it a requirement that h.s.a. come back to the board with a report by november 30 on what has been done, detailing the costs of the improvement program, and then what has to be done, so that's our

recommendation. >> chair fewer: supervisor mandelman? >> supervisor mandelman: thank you, chair fewer. my question is for mr. walsh again. so -- and not to beat a dead horse, and both vice chair stefani and chair fewer have kind of asked questions along these lines, but we have this recommendation from the b.l.a. which seems like a reasonable thing, and it seems like a reasonable thing to do before entering into any lease. and i know you weren't there, but is it -- when h.s.a. enters into a lease, it would seem to me that it would be a best practice to look at the term of the lease, figure out what is likely to break during that

time, what money is going to need to get put into fixing those issues or avoiding those issues during that time, and have that kind of, like, forward-looking assessment for each lease. sounded like you don't know that that happened with this lease. >> i can't say. >> supervisor mandelman: what is your protocol back in 2014 to do that? >> unfortunately, i'm not familiar. >> supervisor mandelman: and it is the protocol now to do that assessment prior to entering into a lease? >> absolutely. this is the case in point right here, to avoid situations like this, quite frankly, and i would agree with you. >> supervisor mandelman: i would be curious. did they do the assessment in 2014 and just miss a lot of stuff -- and you don't know, or did they just think that well, we need a building. school district has a building,

we'll work it out? who knows. all right. >> it's hard to speculate, but it's probably the latter? >> supervisor mandelman: okay. >> i would be more than happy to sit down with my colleagues at sfusd. >> supervisor mandelman: maybe a little retrospective analysis of what happened here, explaining what the department was doing in 2014 and if it in fact, yes, actually we looked, and we thought there were $3 million of work that needed to be done and we thought there was adequate cushion of the money that was set aside. it would be good for us to have that kind of -- maybe. >> and i know you're not asking that question, but it would be a good thing to do just so we don't have it happen again. i completely appreciate and fully agree.

>> chair fewer: supervisor mandelman, so would you like to add that information to the report that was requested by the b.l.a.? i would like to also request that we get an itemized accounting of what happened to the $6 million because it included sidewalk repairs -- so tell us what you spent the $6 million that was supposed to part of it be spent on the hvac system. so i'd like to add to the recommendation of the b.l.a. i think there are two more things we're requesting. supervisor mandelman is requesting that you follow up on the 2014 -- m >> supervisor mandelman: a retrospective analysis of what was done, and whether in hindsight, it was adequate. >> may i say one thing?

again, i agree with everything that the board and the b.l.a. is putting forward. i simply may need a little more time than the end of november to do a thorough analysis and dig in what happened. i also need to give time to my colleagues at b.b.r. to look at the systems and do a thorough analysis. i don't want to do this fast and scratch the surface because i do think this is a learning moment and i do understand the goal here. >> chair fewer: okay. so since we -- actually, the board was a recess in december. would the first of the year give you enough time to gather this information and bring it back to the board. >> certainly. and i would make it happen if you would insist on the end of november, but i would request time to do it properly.

>> chair fewer: i would amend this to the first meeting back in january. is there any public comment? seeing none, public comment is now closed. [gavel]. >> chair fewer: i would like to make a motion to accept the recommendations of the b.l.a. as amended by the budget here. and we can take that without objection. thank you very much. [gavel]. >> chair fewer: and then i'd like to move that to the full board with a positive recommendation, and we can do that without objection. [gavel]. >> chair fewer: madam clerk, would you read the next item. [agenda item read].

>> chair fewer: thank you very much, and we have catherine petrocioni here. >> good morning, supervisors. i'm here to propose that the board except a resolution to -- accept a resolution to accept a grant and match from fema. this grant will support the development of an alternative operations center for the port at pier 50. the port's primary d.o.c. is located at port 51, which we've learned is vulnerable in the case of a major earthquake. the court intends to use this

funding to install fiber as well as purchase emergency radios and audio visual equipment. i do want to note that while the resolution states that the grant is retroactive, the port has not yet expended any of these funds, and i'm happy to answer any questions. >> chair fewer: thank you very much. let's open this up for public comment. any member of the public like to comment on this? seeing none, public comment is now closed. [gavel]. >> chair fewer: and can we take this without objection?

[gavel]. >> chair fewer: and madam clerk, would you call the next item. >> clerk: yes. [agenda item read]. >> chair fewer: and we have mitch sutton, department of emergency management. >> good morning. i'm mitch sutton, and i'm here to talk about the computer aided dispatch system. it's a system that we use for dispatching police, medical, fire to 911 calls. this is an important system for us, and we as important that -- and it's important that we keep this system under 24-7 maintenance. you may recall we have a project to replace the c.a.d. system. it's been approved by coit. we have a project team. we're in the process of hiring a consultant, but that system, we're not expecting, to be on-line until around late 2023, so that's why we're here today

to extend the maintenance agreement with the current vendor for another five years. now if you have any questions about the c.a.d. replacement project, the project director is here for that to answer any questions. the document that you have before you is the 2012 agreement which will extend it to october 2024, and it would add $1.9 million to that agreement for a total not to exceed amount of 1.5 million. and i believe that sums it up, so if you have any questions, i'd be free, happy to answer. >> chair fewer: thank you. can which hear from the b.l.a.? >> item three, and fred russo from the budget and legislative

analyst's office. this is coming to the board because it's going to extend the contract over ten years, and the details on it are on page nine of our report. because the original contract, $5. $5. $5.2 million, included acquisitions and other costs, we've provided a contract that showed what the other costs were. now this'll be $1.9 million. we do recommend approve of the resolution. >> chair fewer: thank you very much. let's open this up for public comment. any members of the public like to comment on item three? seeing none, public comment is now closed. [gavel]. >> chair fewer: colleagues, any comments or questions? i do have a comment. so mr. sutton, i understand that this is your last time before the board because you are soon to be retired, is that

correct? >> that is correct. i'm not going to dispute that. >> chair fewer: after three decades of public service, is that correct? >> that is correct. >> chair fewer: and how long were you in the department of emergency management? >> 20 years. >> chair fewer: 20 years. so i think we'd like to take this opportunity on behalf of the board of supervisors to say thank you for your public service, and we wish you much luck and good health in your retirement. my husband retired after 35 years of public service as a police officer in 2012, and upon his retirement, his last paperwork was in, i remember i kissed my husband and i said, i felt like i'm kissing a free man. i hope that is with you, too. with that, i thank you for your service. with that, i'd like to make a motion to move this to the full board with a positive recommendation. we can take that without

objection. [gavel]. >> chair fewer: madam clerk, would you read the next item. [agenda item read]. >> chair fewer: thank you very much, and we have with us today, marian carroll, the director of the department of emergency management. >> good morning, supervisors. >> chair fewer: good morning. >> so thank you for hearing this today. i am the director of the department of emergency management and just want to take a few minutes to explain the purpose of the grant. san francisco is the regional preparedness grant fiscal agent

for the 12 bay counties that encompass the bay area ewasi program. one area is the urban area security grant initiative, which we anticipate to be approximately $27.5 million. the state homeland security grant program, the emergency management performance grant program, the local government oil spill contingency plan grant, and a 2019 hazard mitigation grant. so the resolution fulfills our responsibility as the fiscal agent to apply for these grants with a governing body resolution to approve san francisco as the fiscal agent on behalf of the region. and normally -- we have not received the grant yet. we anticipate funding levels

similar to 2018, but we won't know until that grant comes through. and the grant moneys from the main grant, the ewasi grant, go to fund our management team, which is around $3 million, our core cities allocation, of which san francisco is one of them. we get $1 million of those $3 million, and then, there's $10 million for regional projects. these grants, san francisco receives -- or received last year about $3.6 million. the majority of the ewasi grant is used to staff our programs. there are 39 emergency management and public safety positions that are funded. the remaining funds go toward

public safety equipment or technology upgrades and we anticipate that the 2019 grants will be spent similar ly. >> chair fewer: thank you very much. there is no b.l.a. report on this. any comments or questions from my colleagues? seeing none, let's open this up for public comment. any members of the public like to comment on item number four? seei seeing none, public comment is now closed. [gavel]. >> chair fewer: miss sutton, i know there's a lot of question around urban shield. i know that's not part of this grant and is sort of the funk at this point, correct? >> yeah. urban shield is a program that was administered under alameda county. alameda county decided earlier this year that they would no longer administer the program, so essentially, urban shield no longer exists. we in this past year had to

reallocate training exercise funds to the counties, and we're currently going through an r.f.p. process for all of the training and exercise programs. >> chair fewer: okay. so that is good news. i'd like to make this to a motion to move this to the full board with a positive recommendation. thank you. [gavel]. >> chair fewer: madam clerk, can you please read the next item. >> clerk: yes. [agenda item read]. >> chair fewer: thank you very much, and we have monica chinchilla, who is the legislative aide for supervisor fewer's office. >> yes. the matter before you is allowing the director of real

estate to waive base rent for the nonprofit tenants clinic by the bay and arts ban for up to six months. we are bringing this matter before you because we know that construction costs are high, and we want to allow these nonprove tenants the ability to -- nonprofit tenants to complete their application as soon as possibility. also here with me is the director of real estate, enrique pena, who can answer any questions. >> chair fewer: very good. let's open this up to public comment. any comment from the public on this? seeing none, public comment is now closed. any comments or questions from my colleagues? and we can move this to the

full board with a positive recommendation. [gavel]. >> chair fewer: madam clerk, would you please the next item, please. [agenda item read]. >> supervisor fewer: colleagues, i'd like to make a motion to continue this one week. before i do, i'd like to open this up for public comment. any member of the public like to comment on this? i'd like to continue this to week o -- one week to the meeting on october 30. any objection? we'll do that without objection. madam clerk, is there any other business before us today? >> clerk: there's no further business.

>> chair fewer: we are adjourned. thank you. [gavel]

quickly and then the two park renovations. if i could have the screen. the zoning district is where the sea is levied and it can go towards parks that serves this district. we have circled turk hyde and willie woo-woo wong is in chinatown. for hyde, we're redoing the entire playground. this is in coordination of strengthening the existing parks. the park is expected to be opened in the end of the year and the renovation includes

playground improvements, landscaping, irrigation, improved amenities and the current budget is $2.25 million and we had provided bridge funding until we were able to come to the join commissio join. for the second park, it's in chinatown and it's a full park renovation. if yo.there is a new playgroundd

we've been doing a lot of work in san francisco for the past 45 years and a strong focus in the tenderloin area for the past five or six years. we helped with the renovation park which opened five years ago and has been a model around the renovation in hyde turk. i want to support this fund to make sure this park is open on time. it's truly an asset in the community. they've been deeply engaged and will reflect their needs. there's a limited open space and getting this open on time is critical and we hope that you can support this allocation and make sure this renovation is completed on time, and open to the community, thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> good morning. on behalf of the committee for parks and recs in chinatown. our committee advocates and preserves open space in

chinatown for the last 50 years. as you know chinatown is the most crowded town in the city. 400 to families are living in single-room occupancy buildings. china's playground, th was builn the 1940s and the only playgrounds in chinatown for 80 years and the most popular. in 2012, many of our constituencies have worked with mr. ginsburg and the park's community, advocating for open space securing the funding for the china's playground and a lot of the families attend the committee meeting with the incredible design firm of cmg

and we're looking forward to the opening next year, hopefully around chinese new year and where we create the plaza, where we call it the heart of the new design. with dozens of exercise machines and we're anticipating that will be the heart of the new design moving forward, where it will benefit a lot of the families and seniors in chinatown. i hope you can support that from the funds. thank you for your support for chinatown and open space. >> next speaker, please. public comment is close. >> in, i believe it was 1992, i

recall joining the citizen's group in the all-day tour of a potential open-space site across san francisco. one of which was the turk hyde site. and the question that came up, and i sort of would like to ask staff whether the accessibility of that particular site or any site, where there is not a control component, whether it's a social service organization or are they related to it? is accessibility substantial within suppose open spaces?

>> obviously when we do park renovations, sometimes the motivating is to improve mobility, accessibility. >> not ada. >> with regards to the safety of the space? >> no, the amount of time that's available to the community. >> i mean, this is a playground. so for the sergeant mccaulley piece, there are to permitted activities that happen in a playground. for willie woo-woo wong, it's the community that will be doing the vast majority of the programming in the building itself.

>> commissioner moore. >> i've been with the california bus for over 35 years and i'm looking at the willie woo- o-woo playground, i'm wondering why it is in desire tate. this state. i'm wondering why making this particular site not only fully useful with the dense population and adults who are using that particular facility but also it's a visual gateway to chinatown and to union square, so it's an important land m foro acknowledge the park but giving it a phase that brings it into

the family of well-designed parks in downtown san francisco. so i'm delighted to support it and see it realized as quickly as possible. >> i'm thrilled that we're doing this and i think chinatown and the tenderloin are underserved communities when it comes to playground and i'm thrilled we're moving forward on this. did you want to chime in, commissioner johnson? not. >> any comments? seeing none on our side, what do we do next in. >> a motion. >> someone on both commissions will be taking this separately and you need to make a motion seconded to approve or act otherwise. >> commissioner johnson? >> i am delighted to make a motion to approve. >> second. >> so moved on our side.

>> i think we wait for them and they vote on their side. >> thank you, commissioners. there's a motion and a second to approve the allocation of the special park fund. so moved and that passes unanimously 4-0. >> the chair will entertain a motion. >> so moved. >> all those in favour. so moved. thank you very much. >> so we're done. >> short meeting.

clinic was a little intimidated. the first time i got treated for [inaudible]. i walked up to the redline and was greeted with a warm welcome i'm chad redden and anna client of city clinic >> even has had an std clinic since all the way back to 1911. at that time, the clinic was founded to provide std diagnosis treatment for sex workers. there's been a big increase in std rates after the earthquake and the fire a lot of people were homeless and there were more sex work and were homeless sex workers. there were some public health experts who are pretty progressive for their time thought that by providing std diagnosis and treatmentsex workers that we might be able to get a handle on std rates in san francisco. >> when you're at the clinic you're going to wait with whoever else is able to register at the front desk first. after you register your seat in the waiting room and wait to be seen. after you are called you come to the back and meet with a healthcare provider can we determine what kind of testing to do, what samples to

collect what medication somebody might need. plus prophylactics is an hiv prevention method highly effective it involves folks taking a daily pill to prevent hiv. recommended both by the cdc, center for disease control and prevention, as well as fight sf dph, two individuals clients were elevated risk for hiv. >> i actually was in the project here when i first started here it was in trials. i'm currently on prep. i do prep through city clinic. you know i get my tests read here regularly and i highly recommend prep >> a lot of patients inclined to think that there's no way they could afford to pay for prep. we really encourage people to come in and talk to one of our prep navigators. we find that we can help almost everyone find a way to access prep so it's affordable for them. >> if you times we do have opponents would be on thursday

morning. we have two different clinics going on at that time. when is women's health services. people can make an appointment either by calling them a dropping in or emailing us for that. we also have an hiv care clinic that happens on that morning as well also by appointment only. he was city clinic has been like home to me. i been coming here since 2011. my name iskim troy, client of city clinic. when i first learned i was hiv positive i do not know what it was. i felt my life would be just ending there but all the support they gave me and all the information i need to know was very helpful. so i [inaudible] hiv care with their health >> about a quarter of our patients are women. the rest, 75% are men and about half of

the men who come here are gay men or other men who have sex with men. a small percent about 1% of our clients, identify as transgender. >> we ask at the front for $25 fee for services but we don't turn anyone away for funds. we also work with outside it's going out so any amount people can pay we will be happy to accept. >> i get casted for a pap smear and i also informed the contraceptive method. accessibility to the clinic was very easy. you can just walk in and talk to a registration staff. i feel i'm taken care of and i'm been supportive. >> all the information were collecting here is kept confidential. so this means we can't release your information without your explicit permission get a lot of folks are concerned especially come to a sexual health clinic unless you have signed a document that told us exactly who can receive your information, we can give it to anybody outside of our clinic.

>> trance men and women face really significant levels of discrimination and stigma in their daily lives. and in healthcare. hiv and std rates in san francisco are particularly and strikingly high were trans women. so we really try to make city clinic a place that strands-friendly trance competent and trans-welcoming >> everyone from the front desk to behind our amazement there are completely knowledgeable. they are friendly good for me being a sex worker, i've gone through a lot of difficult different different medical practice and sometimes they weren't competent and were not friendly good they kind of made me feel like they slapped me on the hands but living the sex life that i do. i have been coming here for seven years. when i come here i know they my services are going to be met. to be confidential but i don't have to worry about anyone looking at me or making me feel

less >> a visit with a clinician come take anywhere from 10 minutes if you have a straightforward concern, to over an hour if something goes on that needs a little bit more help. we have some testing with you on site. so all of our samples we collect here. including blood draws. we sent to the lab from here so people will need to go elsewhere to get their specimens collect. then we have a few test we do run on site. so those would be pregnancy test, hiv rapid test, and hepatitis b rapid test. people get those results the same day of their visit. >> i think it's important for transgender, gender neutral people to understand this is the most confidence, the most comfortable and the most knowledgeable place that you can come to. >> on-site we have condoms as well as depo-provera which is also known as [inaudible] shot. we can prescribe other forms of contraception. pills, a patch and rain. we provide pap smears

to women who are uninsured in san francisco residents or, to women who are enrolled in a state-funded program called family pack. pap smears are the recommendation-recommended screening test for monitoring for early signs of cervical cancer. we do have a fair amount of our own stuff the day of his we can try to get answers for folks while they are here. whenever we have that as an option we like to do that obviously to get some diagnosed and treated on the same day as we can. >> in terms of how many people were able to see in a day, we say roughly 100 people.if people are very brief and straightforward visits, we can sternly see 100, maybe a little more. we might be understaffed that they would have a little complicated visits we might not see as many folks. so if we reach our target number of 100 patients early in the day we may close our doors early for droppings. to my best advice to be senior is get here early.we
