$5.8 million up to $12.2 million in for a total not to exceed amount of $18 million. to summarize the budget here on table two, page 11 and discussed by the department, there will be an increase in a couple of positions of clinical social worker and supervisor positions under the amendment. we recommend approval. >> thank you very much. let's open this up for public comment? any members of the public would like to comment on item number five? seeing then. >> i do have a comment -- -- seeing none. >> had to have a comment heard there is a typo on the title. i wanted to make sure we noted before anything is voted. only the title states that the term of the agreement starts on november 17, 2017. the correct start date is november 1, 2017. the resolution languages good. >> i believe that is not substantive. >> closed public comment.

let's accept that a minute without objection thank you very much. let's move this to the full board with a positive recommendation as amended. you very much. adam clarke to be have any other business today? >> no. >> thank you very much. we are adjourned.

>> hi.adjourned. my name is carmen chiu, san francisco's elected assessor. in our seven mile by seven mile city, we have over 210,000 properties and close to 90% of their are residential like the homes you and i live in, so you might ask, how can we possibly value all these properties? well, to better understand our work, we need to explain the state's proposition 13 law. in 1978, california voters passed proposition 13. under prop 13, we value your property at market value when you first buy it. every year after, that value goes up by the c.p.i. or the california consumer price index. but if the c.p.i. is more than

2%, prop 13 caps the increase at 2%. we'll walk-through the maximum increases prop 13 would allow. let's take a home with initial value of $400,000. in the second year your assessed value grows by a maximum of 2%, growing from $400,000 to $408,000. in year three, that $408,000 is increased by 2% to roughly $416,000. every year, the value grows by the maximum rate of 2%, and that is called your prop 13 value. keep in mind as time goes by your prop 13 value may not be the same as market rate. what do we mean by that? let's say over the last ten years, home prices in san francisco have gone every roughly 10% every year. despite that, your prop 13 value is capped at 2% growth creating a difference between

your market value and prop 13 value. know that the value recessed when there's a change in ownership. a change in ownership means that the property has a new zoner. maybe through a -- new owner. maybe through a sale, a gift or adding or dropping names through title. at that time the home will be assessed a new market rate. that value becomes a new starting point for the property. just like before, the growth continues to be limited at 2% until the next transfer happens. remember, the new owners are responsible for paying taxes at the new level from the first day that they own it. value might also be added when construction happens on your property. that would be another instance when growth in your value might exceed 2%. here, we would add the value of construction on top of your existing prop 13 value. every july, we'll let you know what your assessed value is by sending you a letter called a notice of assessed value. you can use that information to estimate your property taxes

early. please note that a separate office called the treasurer tax collector's office will send you a letter in october and they're responsible 230r collections. for more information, visit our website, >> shop and dine in the 49 promotes local businesses, and challenges residents to do their shopping within the 49 square miles of san francisco. by supporting local services in our neighborhood, we help san francisco remain unique, successful, and vibrant. so where will you shop and dine in the 49? >> i am the owner of this restaurant. we have been here in north beach over 100 years.

i'm kate sosa. i'm cofounder and ceo of sf made. sf made is a public private partnership in the city of san francisco to help manufacturers start, grow, and stay right here in san francisco. sf made really provides wraparound resources for manufacturers that sets us apart from other small business support organizations who provide more generalized support. everything we do has really been developed over time by listening and thinking about what manufacturer needs grow. for example, it would be traditional things like helping them find capital, provide assistance loans, help to provide small business owners with education.

we have had some great experience doing what you might call pop ups or temporary selling events, and maybe the most recent example was one that we did as part of sf made week in partnership with the city seas partnership with small business, creating a 100 company selling day right here at city hall, in partnership with mayor lee and the board of supervisors, and it was just a wonderful opportunity for many of our smaller manufacturers who may be one or two-person shop, and who don't have the wherewithal to have their own dedicated retail store to show their products and it comes back to how do we help companies set more money into arthur businesses and develop more customers and their relationships, so that they can continue to grow and continue to stay here in san francisco.

i'm amy kascel, and i'm the owner of amy kaschel san francisco. we started our line with wedding gowns, and about a year ago, we launched a ready to wear collection. san francisco's a great place to do business in terms of clientele. we have wonderful brides from all walks of life and doing really interesting things: architects, doctors, lawyers, teachers, artists, other like minded entrepreneurs, so really fantastic women to work with. i think it's important for them to know where their clothes are made and how they're made. >> my name is jefferson mccarly, and i'm the general manager of the mission bicycle company. we sell bikes made here for people that ride here. essentially, we sell city bikes made for riding in urban

environments. our core business really is to build bikes specifically for each individual. we care a lot about craftsmanship, we care a lot about quality, we care about good design, and people like that. when people come in, we spend a lot of time going to the design wall, and we can talk about handle bars, we can see the riding position, and we take notes all over the wall. it's a pretty fun shopping experience. paragraph. >> for me as a designer, i love the control. i can see what's going on, talk to my cutter, my pattern maker, looking at the designs. going through the suing room, i'm looking at it, everyone on the team is kind of getting involved, is this what that drape look? is this what she's expecting, maybe if we've made

a customization to a dress, which we can do because we're making everything here locally. over the last few years, we've been more technical. it's a great place to be, but you know, you have to concentrate and focus on where things are going and what the right decisions are as a small business owner. >> sometimes it's appropriate to bring in an expert to offer suggestions and guidance in coaching and counseling, and other times, we just need to talk to each other. we need to talk to other manufacturers that are facing similar problems, other people that are in the trenches, just like us, so that i can share with them a solution that we came up with to manage our inventory, and they can share with me an idea that they had about how to

overcome another problem. >> moving forward, where we see ourselves down the road, maybe five and ten years, is really looking at a business from a little bit more of a ready to wear perspective and making things that are really thoughtful and mindful, mindful of the end user, how they're going to use it, whether it's the end piece or a he hwedding gown, are they going to use it again, and incorporating that into the end collection, and so that's the direction i hear at this point. >> the reason we are so enamored with the work we do is we really do see it as a platform for changing and making the city something that it has always been and making sure that we're sharing the opportunities that we've been blessed with economically and socially as possible, broadening that brown.

bren >> chair ronen: good morning, everyone. i hope you all do your best to stay inside today and keep your loved ones safe inside, and our thoughts and solidarity and love are going out to the

people of northern california and sonoma county who are suffering tremendously, and we will continue to fight to keep each other safe and very grateful to the mayor who's setting up a shelter as we speak to do our part in keeping our neighbors to the north safe. so our thoughts are with the people of our region. and the meeting will come tord on. welcome to the october 28, 2019 meeting of the rules committee. i'm chair hillary ronen. seated to my right is rules committee supervisor shamann walton, and to my left is gordon mar.

mr. clerk, do you have any announcements? >> clerk: yes. items acted upon today will appear on the november 5 board of supervisors agenda unless otherwise stated. >> chair ronen: thank you. can you please read item number one. >> clerk: item number one is an ordinance dissolving the workforce advisory committee and a statement on the workforce alignment. >> good morning, supervisors. i'm angela calvillo. i'm simply before you because of the housekeeping language in the ordinance which actually sunsets these two bodies and sunsets these in july. i understand that there is a desire for the bodies to be reauthorized, and if that is the case, we are happy to work

with the committee and the supervisors to reach that organization. this is just a housekeeping step to remove them from the administrative code. if there is to be reauthorizing legislation, it would just be put back into the code. i'm available for any questions. >> chair ronen: okay. no questions? okay. i also see joshua arce and lisa pagan from oewd, if you wanted to make any comments. >> thank you, supervisors. joshua arce, director of office of economic and workforce development. as clerk calvillo mentioned,

the committee has sunseted, but we just wanted to answer any questions that you might have. we're here joined by -- if not now, then in moments, the cochair of the committee, the esteem esteemed chair, sheryl davis. we're also here joined by one of the members of the workforce committee advisory committee and that's annie chung, the executive director of self-help for the elderly, as well. just to give you some high-level components -- it's just this one, lisa? thank you. thank you, lisa. we've also got members of our workforce team to make sure we can answer any questions that you have. the committees we're going to talk about today were established in 2014 under an ordinance 84-2014 establishes what we called the workforce

lines committee, and workforce c.a.c., and those committees were scheduled to run through july 2017. in 2019, there was a second ordinance there which extended the sunset dates of those committees to june 30, 2019. there's -- we've referred to this period as kind of the first period of extension. throughout this entire time, we've continued to meet and continued to work to perform the duties of these bodies as we've discussed because the work is just too important not to continue as we seek direction here from the board. and in the current year, the plan is to convene, and we've convened these committees twice. we'll convene them again in the next several weeks pending the direction of the board because our opinion, the work is too important not to.

we report back to the mayor, the workforce, and city departments and as of last week, you should have the latest report out from the body. through the ordinance, it is made up of agencies listed on the slide. director davis and i chair these committees. director joaquin torres joins us at the meetings, as well. human services agency, department of public works, department of children, youth, and families, san francisco public utilities commission, and the department of human resources participate in these committees. and in the next slide is the question that i think is appropriate. what do the committees do? we're charged under chapter 30, the admin code, to increase access to job seekers, to stable sufficient employment with sufficient wages and

benefits to support families and advance the needs of vulnerable populations, improve business engagement strategies to engage those workers and also to have a better system across the different agencies about how we track and report out comes across the city and city. we talked about the members. there's two additional agencies that have joined as of 2017. that's when we sought director of human resources and workforce advisory committee. i think in conversation, had a question from supervisor walton, had vacancies in the committees. we would wait for the direction from the board, and in the case

of the c.a.c. are board appointees or the mayor appointees on the community advisory committee. and if we can hold on just for one second, i want to make sure we identify our community developers. self-help for the elderly, bayview-hunters point center for arts and technology, and episcopal community services, among others. lastly is just a quick rundown of the policy recommendations that have been developed and reported out by the committee over the past several years. we've talked about the need for the work to continue both at the alignment committee and the workforce c.a.c. because it's just now in the report that we've finalized to the board a set of recommendations and in some ways now is when the real work begins. and so the five areas that have

been identified as we've seen here, breaking the cycle of poverty for san francisco through better workforce delivery, support and services. a what is called in the report, a workforce map, how they engage different agencies, how they end up being served and coordinate through the different departments. a data-sharing infrastructure so that we're all looking and getting apples to apple comparisons about the number of clients served, placements, long-term retention, objectives. and then fourth is what the workforce policy called demand side, which is looking at the industries where there's growth and opportunity for good-paying jobs and to help guide the programming. so these industries that can help the problems that we seek to breakdown. and streamlining the contacting

process, which is making it easier for service providers and contractors, whatever we can do to make things easier and better is the goal in that regard. as i mentioned, we've med informally. we'll continue to do again. at oewd, everyone seeks to contribute something individual that's maybe core to our agencies as we coordinate across the different departments. at oewd, one of the things that we always talk about especially when we look at these industries, that we partner with organized labor because i think for a lot of us that come into this work from a community labor perspective, community labor is one of the most effective means of advancing workforce objectives. i'm happy to answer any questions and happy to explain

any recommendations. we respectfully would love your support to continue this important work. >> chair ronen: thank you so much. any questions or comments? no. thank you so much for all your work. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> chair ronen: thank you. if there's no more speakers, then we'll open this up for public comment. is there any member of the public who would like to speak on this item? please come forward. >> good morning, supervisors. i'm an executive committee member of the san francisco labor council. first, i want to start by thanking you, supervisor ronen, for all your work. also, i did not have an opportunity to speak you with about this particular item, but i did speak with supervisor walton. supervisor mar, thank you, also for all of your work to help us find a little bit more information about transparency and accountability mechanisms

in this space which we highly value. i think director arce did mention that one of the most critical components of success in this space is that labor piece. we're all friends with labor, but it does jump out with me that labor is not a part of this committee and has not been. we are enthusiastic about the continuation of these efforts, but primarily for the following reasons. we believe that there's a lack of transparency in this space. while we want people to get paid and we want to expedite those processes, on the back end, we do believe there should be an enforcement mechanism in connection with transparency and accountability measures. we've seen too much fragmented approaches to workforce development especially with the lowest paid workers. what happens as a result of lack of coordination is we

undermine the minimum labor standards for people that have already been provided a real career opportunity, instead, cannibalizing these strong wage positions, we need to be thoughtful how we expand that through preapprenticeship and apprenticeship and a real pathway together. thank you so much. >> chair ronen: thank you. any other public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. [gavel]. >> chair ronen: supervisor walton? >> supervisor walton: thank you, chair ronen. thank you to everyone for bringing this farther and making sure we do our due diligence and act in accordance with our duty with the city. i just want to start off -- and i'm not going to go deep into history, but these committees were started to make sure that

opportuniti opportunities were provided for folks in community to be able to work here in san francisco and also to make sure that our c.b.o. community that was providing workforce services could work together with the cities to figure outweighs to stream line resources because we have so many different pots of workforce money from several different departments and we wanted to put together something that was going to provide a space, an opportunity, for all of our city departments that provide workforce services to figure outweighs to stream line services so that it makes it easier for the workforce community to provide services to our most vulnerable populations. i do want to say that even though unemployment is down here in san francisco, we have a very low unemployment rate, certain subsections of folks here in the city are still unemployed at disproportionate

rates. lgbtq, folks of color, people that are living in low-income housing, so we need to continue to work to stream line resources is very important. i want to definitely work very closely with the city attorney and the clerk's office to bring this body back as soon as possible, and we will make sure we look at the recommendations, what has been presented, and that these bodies are very active, and that they will continue to actually do the work that is necessary for us to keep folks employed here in san francisco and address the wealth gap and disparities that are here in the city. so i will be working closely to make sure that does happen. i know we have to deal with the formalities with the city here

today, but rest assured that we're going to move forward. thank you all for being here this earning month. i ju -- this morning. i just wanted to make sure i put that on record. >> chair ronen: any other comments? >> supervisor mar: yes. i have some questions, but i'm glad to hear that supervisor walton is intending to -- to -- to introduce legislation to continue these -- these important bodies, that both the alignment committee and community advisory committee, but i think we're taking action today just to dissolve them. i do have some questions about the work of the committees and the outcomes, so mr. arce, i'm wondering -- well, i was just curious -- i guess for the alignment committee and the community advisory committee,

how functional have they been since they've been created, how many meetings have been held, and what are the significant outcomes of the two bodies? >> absolutely. there's been 14 meetings of the workforce alignment committee, meaning there'll be 15 here on november 13. there'll be our -- our sixth meeting of the workforce c.a.c. will be on the 19, shortly thereafter. i have to apologize, one of the hardest working members, we lost because he was elected to district ten, but he was responsible for driving a lot of the work that came out of the workforce c.a.c. i think one of the big picture

achievements of the work together was that there was a time i think when the city was prepared to otherwise look at a record low unemployment rate and take a step back and say the notion of full employment has been achieved. and i think the workforce c.a.c. really weighed in to push our agencies and the city departments to really go deeper in some ways at 1.8% unemployment which is what we saw as of september. the work really begins because black and brown communities, two to three times higher. the public housing community, those with housing challenges, it's really to take the jobs that are on the table to address the racial, genders, socioeconomic and all the problems that we see. so in some way, having opportunities for all, which has been a topic of all the

last couple of meetings -- ensuring that all 22,000 high school students should have access to a paid internship last summer, it speaks to how all the departments work together to partner this that. a partnership between our offices and the office agency -- but civil service required that they have a college degree to go make the next step up in city employment. so our office put resources in in collaboration with human services agency for those men and women to do their college education in the evenings on-line when they're not doing

their work at the -- at their host agency. another example is the city drive program, which is when city -- the chariot company went out of business and our office offered those men and women who are losing their jobs to come and drive for muni as muni drivers. so i think the alignment committee, which especially you have this report, kind of recommendations what we're able to achieve, especially now that you're looking at the ordinance provides stability to look at some of these outcomes and i'm happy to go deeper on some of the examples that you might have, supervisor, but to take on certain initiatives and projects. the last meeting we had, we said we all want to express to the idea to continue the work, and one of the ideas was to

look at public sector workers, particularly where they need to do better and have a strategy with our office to engage private sector and have a coordinated strategy to do that. but i want to introduce the cochair of our strategic alignment committee, sheryl davis. >> number one, with the workforce alignment, we got to a place where we -- to be honest, not a lot of alignment. i think building trust was the most important piece, and i think we got to a place with the departments around the table to say we know we can do a better job specifically with the groups that have already been mentioned, people living in public housing, understanding the reality of racism and the way that it impacts your ability to move through society. i so i think being able to have those honest conversations and getting to a place where we're

saying, not to talk in the he greggahe -- in the agreggate and that's where we are, and to be real and to start measuring impact. >> supervisor mar: thank you so much director davis, carr ardi arce, sharing some of the results of this amazing work. i had another question. could you point to the points of organized labors not being represented in this committee -- actually, i guess there are some seats on the workforce investment board. >> yes. and supervisor, your question, i don't see anything in the ordinance that would preclude

participation and partnership with organized labor in those conversations, the meetings, and maybe in a certain sense. so i think we're open to that -- that kind of conversation because whether it's a part of this committee or whether it's part of the workforce c.a.c. or otherwise, from our perspective, you heard from building trades that apprenticeship and preapprenticeship is something in the industry. you all unanimously approved for the cannabis industry. we're all in conversation, city drive utilizing a apprenticeship. we're in discussion with other labor unions, other industries,

because the idea pay training and the ability to partner with our office, city college, educational partners and the service providers to be able to earn while you learn is critical to the men or women not included in the 1.8%. there are tens of thousands who have been shut out, who might have a barrier, past justice involvement, might have other reasons that they're not looking for work. so the idea of labor, apprenticeship work, is a real key to the puzzle. not just with respect to those men and women who are at risk of being left behind, but certainly, the economy is not always going to be like this. but to be able to address the

inequities that we see, are key. but to the composition, i know that we're open to whatever structure we have going forward, i think from our perspective is we want to make sure the work continues. >> supervisor mar: thank you so much. and i just want to thank everybody here today that's been a part of all this work. yeah, it is so critically important to ensure that we maximize job opportunities for san francisco residents, particularly disadvantaged residents as our economy continues to grow. so look forward to supporting the -- the -- the -- the continued work of these bodies, and thank you so much. >> chair ronen: is there a motion to move this item forward with positive recommendation? and without objection, that motion passes. [gavel]. >> chair ronen: thank you, everyone for coming.

>> clerk: would you like me to read two and three together? >> chair ronen: please. [agenda item read] [agenda item read]. >> chair ronen: thank you so much. is aimee brown here? hello. good morning. >> good morning. i'm aimee brown, and i'm pleased to have already served one term on the treasurer's oversight committee, so i'm here today as a candidate for reappointment. in reviewing the ordinance when i was reapplying, it set forth a number of the duties or skills that you need to have in order to be on this committee and to review it for you, it's expertise in public finance, experiences with audits, investments, and regulatory oversight and understanding the

duties of boards and oversight committees. and in fact my background matches all three of these areas. first, my career was in financing state and local governments for almost 30 years, and i'm proud to say i served as financial advisor on many san francisco projects and with some of your departments. i worked for a major investment banking firm for 15 years, but i'm most proud of the time that i was owner of a nationally recognized s.f. owned and women employees. my firm caused me to have experience in the second area because my firm was subject to regular and quarterly audit from oversight bodies, and i served on a number of their

boards for a couple of years. and also as part of my career, i also helped many of my clients invest their bond proceeds, which is one of the roles that the treasurer's office takes on in this committee or oversees. i've also had experience in my retirement serving on and advising some small corporations and nonprofit boards, and, you know, in this role, i can effectively communicate and collaborate with other board members. so as i said, i've served on these boards actually throughout my career, not only on some of those regulatory boards but sort of wide ranging public finance-type nonprofits and securities city related boards. in san francisco, before my

term on the treasury oversight committee, i was a member of the revenue bond oversight committee, and i was chair for five years of my term. currently, i'm chair of core of northern california, and i've served on the bay ecotarium, and the angel island conservancy, and been involved with them in a lot of financial oversight and governance issues. i'm interested in continuing my membership on the oversight committee because i can use my skills to contribute to my committee and i'm happy to answer any questions you might have. >> chair ronen: thank you so much for your willingness to serve. >> okay. thank you. >> chair ronen: and next, we

have brenda kwee mcnulty. good morning. >> good morning, supervisors. my name is brenda kwee mcnulty and thank you for considering my application to sit on the treasury oversight committee. first, let me share with you my professional experience. i've been retired for a while, but i have over 40 years experience in the financial services industry. i have experience in the fixed interest instruments, which is basically what the treasury oversight committee invests in. i have past experience in product development and fixed interest instruments, in sales of fixed interest instruments and in the actual portfolio management of fixed interest instruments. so i feel very qualified and attracted to be part of this oversight committee. in addition, i want to share

with you that i have some experience in serving as a commissioner. i served in the cgoboc, the citizens general obligation bonds oversight committee for four years, and in the last two years, as co -- in the last two years, as cochair and chair. and in that opportunity, it gave me the opportunity to learn to work with staff, with committee members, and also with running committee meeting with the public. so i feel very public that i can take up this next commission with that service behind my belt. in this particular committee, a lot of discussion is over interest rates. because i'm a former banker, i

also serve as the director of the association of asian american bankers, so that's one of the various areas that i keep myself updated to market trends and -- and continually supplement what i'm reading following the markets with a -- with an association. as i have pledged when i served on goboc, is i am selected to serve on this committee, i pledge to you and the taxpayers of the city and county of san francisco that i will do my utmost ability to live up to all my obligations, and without further adieu, i'm happy to answer any questions. >> chair ronen: thank you so much for your willingness to serve. any questions from my colleagues? thank you so much. >> thank you so much, supervisors.

>> chair ronen: now open this item up for any comment. if any member of the public wishes to speak, please come forward. seeing none, public comment is closed. [gavel]. >> supervisor walton: we're taking two and three together, right? i move that we amend items two and three to say the treasurer's nomination of aimee brown, and number three, the treasurer's nomination of brenda kwee mcnulty. >> chair ronen: and which will take those nominations without objection. thank you. [gavel]. >> chair ronen: mr. clerk, can you please read item number four. >> clerk: item number four is a charter amendment to amend the charter of the city and county of san francisco to provide retiree health care benefits to the employees of the housing authority of the city and county of san francisco who started working for the city and county of

attorney on march 7, 2019 and before march 1, 2021 without a break in service with the housing authority of the city and county of san francisco. >> chair ronen: thank you. and andrea bruce is here. >> hello, supervisors. andrea bruce with the mayor's office. this would allow the city to recognize the years of service worked by certain housing authority employees for purposes of determining their eligibility for city retiree medical benefits. so i know as you are aware, the city is currently working with the housing authority on an overall restructuring in order to come into compliance with various requests from the federal department of housing and urban development? as part of this restructuring, we do anticipate there will be housing authority who transition to city employment? and actually as of october this

year, we've had 25 housing authority employees that have transitioned to city employment. and this charter amendment we expect will be a direct impact on them. unlike the city's retirement system which has reciprocity with calpers, without a change to the city charter, the city has no ability to provide that sort of comparable reciprocity for determining medical benefits. as part of this reenvisioning of the housing authority the mayor has made it a priority to the extent we can the personal impacts on housing authority employees, so by allowing their years at the housing authority to count towards what they would be eligible for city retiree medical benefits, this charter is an important component of that benefit. this was developed in

consultation with the employees of the housing authority and the respective unions that represent them. we have had the required meet and confer sessions with them. we have carol eisen, myself, and eric rappaport from the city attorney's office here. thank you, supervisors, for your support, and we respectfully ask to move this forward to the full board with a positive recommendation. >> chair ronen: thank you. supervisor walton? >> supervisor walton: thank you. this is one of the things that we have to do to ensure that employees receive the benefits

they are entitled to through your previous service. it's important that we make sure that they have the appropriate health care and benefits as they move forward. so i'm 100% in support of this, and just wanted to make sure that that was noted and thank the mayor and all of my colleagues for bringing this forward. >> chair ronen: thank you supervisor mar? >> supervisor mar: yeah. i just wanted to thank the mayor's office and d.h.r. for all your work on this ordinance, and the overall work in supporting the housing authority employees to -- to be able to transition and hopefully to -- to -- mostly to city jobs. so -- and i would like to be added as a cosponsor on this. thank you. >> chair ronen: and miss bruce, i just had one question. you said 25 of how many employees are currently city employees? >> sure. so we anticipate the

restructuring to take place over multiple phases, so the first phase that were impacted, there were 90 employees that were impacted in the first round of restructuring, those primarily working in the hud house program. and the housing authority provided a pretty -- throughout a number of months, skills assessments, job fairs, job matches. we made over 60 city positions available to those 90 impacted housing authority employees, as well as the housing authority completed their negotiations with their labor entities which also provided a pretty robust severance package. so what we saw in that first group of 90 employees, we had a number of retirees, we had a number of employees that chose to take severance, and we had

25 employees that opted to take city positions. every housing employee who expressed interest in receiving one of those designated positions had the opportunity to get them. so we saw as of october 1, 25 people who are now working in various city departments and city agencies. so one of the reasons why the outside date of this charter amendment is several years from now is we expect there will be another phased restructuring when we get to the public housing piece. so we don't know the number of employees that will opt to transition to the city, which is why we kept it broad in that respect. >> chair ronen: the number of transition employees is so low. i don't know why that is? >> you know, i don't know why they made that decision. we made every option available to them, and it was a very personal decision for each and every one of them, but we

remain committed to helping the next round of employees to transition. and we will continue to make city employment and benefits available to them. >> chair ronen: thank you so much. we'll now open this up for public comment. good morning. >> good morning, supervisors. my name is kristina fong, and i'm the deputy director of the municipal executives association. today, we're here -- i just wanted to say and express our appreciation of your support for the amendment of the charter as well as to thank the mayor for all the work that they've done to move this forward so all those employees who transition into city employment to not -- to be able to continue to have retiree health benefits. we have had many long-term employees at the housing

authority and they're there for 20 to 30 years. unfortunately, many of them may not have the -- at their -- they don't have the age to retire, so they would not be able to take advantage of the calpers retiree health that would be coming to them if they were able to continue employment. so we do want to express our appreciation and thank you so much for everything people have done to help support the housing authority people and the employees that transitioned to the city and county of san francisco. thank you. >> chair ronen: thank you so much. any other member of the public wish to speak? seeing none, public comment is closed.
