workforce develop inspect china town to maintain the neighborhood. i want to emphasize that neighborhood this group is engaged in the area and they have made contacts with certain business owners and residentses and do an excellent job in communication skills and value them as a subelement to what we do as we mentioned in other presentations, public works does a lot of work as far as cleaning. we need help from the communities to keep the city clean. in is an example of the assistance that we need. they supplement our work. they are necessary to keep the city clean. the current amount is 1, 361, 386. the certainty grant term ends december 31 of this year. modification system to extend

the contract 6 months to june 30 of 23 and increase the funding by 230 thousand dollars. the recommendation from the director to increase this amount to chinese service grant and extend the term for 6 months upon the director's finding they met all policy recommendations for charities in good standing and authorize director of public works to approve the total amount 1, 591, 467.87. this slide is a collection of pictures from their work. i mentioned before they focus on the china town area. you see here they provide -- services of removing debris from the street. they have folks run along the

parking strips to client gutters. the area has restaurants. and they make sure all the cardboard is removed from the restaurants. we value their work and we need them to continue providing service to the area. this slide looks like a duplication of earlier slides. the recommendation is to extend this chinese service center grant 230, 081. again the duration is sikz months the chinese service center provide training, work force development and cleanliness of china town. that concludes my presentation i want to reiterate that we depends on them. they do a great job.

they provide training for staff. and we want to create a path for employment. and so this is one way they can get experience in doing the work that we do. i want to make that point clear. that's ends of my presentation we will be glad to answer questions. we have our director here. and have bruce here and his staff as well to answer technical contractual questions. thank you very much. >> i noticed that our chairman arrived. healthy and safe. [laughter]. shall we -- thank you. commissioner for -- holding down

the fortand the gavel. commissioners, questions. i was listening to that. am thank you, chris. mr. mc daniels. >> commissioners. questions? >> thank you very much for your presentation. i wanted more information on the grant in general because i don't -- know anything about the grant outside of that presentation. i wondered if you guys knew how many members or people -- have -- participated in the program. what is the duration like if you give a summary of you know, how long are they expected to be in the program.

what are the out come and measured. not sure if we look at that. um -- let's see. i know. >> i can provide a bit of information. the total staff is 15 and 20 employees. they have supervisors and managers that manage the grants the frontline people sign in every day. they keep track of their time that is the amount staff that is part of this grant contract. >> how long other participates expected to stay in the program? is it 3, 6 months? >> it would match the duration of the contract that we have with them. >> okay. >> people starting in 2019 are still going? >> right. >> okay. >> working for us doing work out there every day. when we are asking today is to

continue that work for 6 months. keep the folks that have been working with this for another 6 months. >> do we know if anyone, is it job training is as well as anyone moveod to find jobs elsewhere? >> i don't have that information we can inquire with chinese newcomer and get that information for you >> that would be really great. do you have data that proved that you guys are able to answer more 311 calls because of of -- them taking care of the china town neighborhood? >> so. we can do an analysis on that and get the numbers to you. this grant provides the security the areas they are assigned taken care of, we focus on a lot

of our 311 calls and this effort prevents that area to have to have those calls. we can do an analysis and get the numbers for you. >> that would be appreciated. >> if i could chime until on that. after we received your questions we looked at this. the way that our we can get the information i think the way that our data is broken up currently is not quite at the neighborhood level. we can narrow it. so we don't currently have an analysis of that but i think we can loon at if we know that neighborhood do we have few are 311 calls, talking with the supervisors they foal like it saved them from responding. i think the photos illustrated we don't have to respond to what would be the calls or calls were not there we would not respond

to address the. but we talked with our performance team and will try to drill down on that data for you. >> that would be really great. >> thank you. what are the boundaries they work in? what streets do they cover? >> it is in china town. do you have the details of that? i don't. >> on china town area we prom vied you with streets if you like we have the data part of their contract it it is in their contract we can provide that. >> great. >> thank you. and i noticed that the amount increases so every 6 months we renewed it. and that the amount increases, is that for cost of living or -- supplies? like -- >> sure.

yes. i think it dependses on the extension the duration of the extension, look at the first 2 they were half of the later. it is a bit an increase. some of that is cost of living increases. so when the they have to meet minimum compensation ordinance. some amendments include the cost increases to meet that ordinance and i wanted to note that when the mayor gave city employees a very significant pay increase, she ensured any nonprofit grantise get cost living or pay increases as limp all of our grants will get eligible for that -- will not just but required provide that cost increase to employees as well. >> all right. >> i think that covers the big

questions. i wanted more information on it. so, thank you very much. i know -- i [inaudible] the questions e mail. [inaudible] late. >> thank you. >> it is helpful to hear the questions and help us be prepared for future presentations. thank you for take the time. >> thank you, commissioner harrison? >> first, why is it a giant block grant. because it statute whole block and responds e not an individual call or location. i don't know who invented that name. >> this is different than the other grants that we will hear about in january. i assume? >> this is one of the grants that you will hear about in january.

so, all of our grants have a workforce development component that is their primary purpose is workforce development and they have different work scope trainings associated with the workforce development the goal is to provide job opportunity for those who face bear dwroers employment and work with nonprofits to address, what is a work scope we can use that you train the folks in. and ultimately the goal is that the participates could become be a pipeline for the city aprenticeship programs. we have the feedback loop we seek this is the very first, low barrier to entry, they get job training skills while they are starting this and those who have demonstrated they are red to

take on a job with the city could be aprentices to get the job training for journey level positions. >> that was my next question. >> would they go in the apprenticeship or preaprenticeship or is this the preaprenticeship. >> we believe this is a way to multiplight affects so we have more potential candidates. ensure they get the necessary job readiness skills through the grants to treat them as a preapreventship program. >> excellent. >> the state i read in this the state has a part of this in the financial low they will -- contribute to this amount of money? >> no.

this is funded through city funds. actually. >> 100%. >> i don't know why i got that in. um. okay. >> so now the group that you have is working in the china town area. and i was told about a person who works in the sunset who is like got a lot of praise. and i'm sure whon i'm talking about. anyway she has done such a great job nice to see that person get something get into this program if she is not already. the sunset not the china town area >> this grant is focused in china town. as you will hear next mont the broader presentation we have other grants that are city wide

or focused in other neighborhoods. and so there are opportunity throughout the city and many of our grants are not as focused in their location and in addition we have our own program of -- own internal preapprenticeship program our 9916 referring to their city job specifications. they work throughout the city in neighborhood/commercial district another pipeline. >> thank you. that just about covers my questions. mr. chair. >> commissioner simi. >> i think -- when the giant -- the giants block program sell this an umbrella term for a number of neighborhood specific or refer to the specific thing in china town?

this is specific to china town we have finds out who named it. [laughter]. may be don't spends staff time on that one. i guess my second question. this started in october 2019. and you said it is funded by the general fund did you have a sense of origin or, what was the back story? >> i will look to our cf oushgs i think i know the answer but. >> good morning. deputy director of finance and administration. it was part of when we go through the budget press we have a laundz real lives efforts and programs we think will help the city be cleaner or improve the can open for trees. this was one of those

initiatives during that budget cycle and a way to expand "the apprentice"ship program and workforce development during staffing challenges. putting out ideas to help dlaesz and this was one. i don't know why it is called giant block. it is a mystery. >> thank you. i guess the other question is this start in the 2019. it was awarded to the nonprofit and doing the 6 month extensions. i guess assuming the department is happy with the service and you indicated that is there a reason why we are not extending it more than 6 months at a time? >> there is. commissioners. there are 2 reasons. one, the pandemic had a reason and uncertainty around funding. we did not want to extend

typeset too long and have to terminate the contract because of funding difficulties. the second should the commissioners approve this final extension, i will emphasize, final. we plan to go to commettive bid we don't want to keep it always in the same vendor we want opportunity to bring the best on board to provide the services we need. we are happy with the current vender we want to open it up for a competitive process and that's our plan that we will do this if the commissioners approve the extension. >> to confirm there is no rfp process? >> there was a solicitation process that adhereed city rules and has been extended because of the pandemic and other uncertainties around funding and we plan after this should this be approved we will do a full rfp process. >> thank you.

thank you. and i have -- a couple questions once is this gets extended this started because there was short staffing. covid came. happens if our staffing gets up to 95 and 98, 100% the contracts are engaged how do we mitigate that and not under mining a permanent city employee jobs? commissioner, once again, this is a separate funding bucket in that case if we were 98 or 100% staffing that would enhance the city's cleanly ness and shift resources to focus on other areas. this is a different funding source from the staff salaries would be a benefit and that would be the ideal goal. >> thank you. >> may i add to that, as he note

today is a separate funding source. would be a miracle if we got to that level of staffing the challenge is these are tough jobs. so, people eventually, retire or move on. and we need to have this healthy pipeline of people that we can then train. challenges we have are the city's hiring processes are onerous. but we don't always have great qualified candidates to hire. that pipeline is critical. if we were 98% staffing i think we would want top keep the types of programs going because i can't imagine we would sustain that level of staffing. i would love to, >> though. for the university. >> thank you. >> commissioners, other questions. >> i do.

>> you mentioned about some point you will look out to put out a request for proposal from other contractors? are the ones now nonprofit sns do you just go to nonprofits or is it open. >> commissioner, it would be for nonprofits on the presentation he highlighted the controller requirements that would be a requirement. a nonprofit and file all of your proper forms with the irs and the state level so that it is a requirement. >> thank you. >> thank you. just one more comment i love all the questions. shows ash count act not the fact we are questioning what you are

doing but important for the public to know when we are doing. why are the prices cranking up? because the city employees got a raise that reflects the contracts t. is important for the public for them to understand hawhat you are doing and sometime its is lay people like us that tease the questions out and commissioner hartwig-schulman, we need to know to understand so we all speak the same language and people have arounding of the hard work you are doing. thank you. >> that being said, no further questions from the commissioners? what is next on the goodnight. mr. fuller. >> we would need a motion and take public comment before voting on this item. >> all right. and debate after the public comment. >> hearing no further motion all in favor of adopting this on the

calendar. say, i do. >> we need to get a motion and then public comment. >> i move to approve. >> i can second. >> thank you. now we go to public comment. members of the public who wish to make 3 minutes of upon comment on this item number 3 the approval of the giant block grant program modification lineup against the wall from the door with us in the chamber if you are call nothing dial 415-655-0001. access code: 2486 325 2472 ##. then star 3 to enter the speaker line. ers we don't member bunkham who approached to make comment on

this item. and sfgovtv, do we have callers in the queue wish to speak on this item. we don't have call they'res concludes public comment on this item. >> thank you. commissioners, further debate? >> no. >> all in favor, say, aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> anyone opposed say, neigh. >> motion passes. >> secretary fuller call the next item. >> the next is the continuation of general public comment we did not exceed the initial 15 minute maximum for item one we do not need to have an additional

general public comment section. >> secretary fuller. is there further business. >> no further business on this agenda. >> commissioners any final words? input? anything? thank you, everyone. >> i think we might have approved the only true action item in the department's history. >> you know this is a moment us time in the city's history. take a moment to acknowledge that. >> thank you, commissioner. >> we are a charter commission we are laying grounds work for commissioners to come. commissions to come. set a good example for everyone to follow. thank you, commissioners. >> hearing no objections i adjourn this meeting. we will meet january 23, 2023. thank you, everybody.

>> you don't know what will be inside the canister until you open it. [♪♪♪] >> these are beautiful, historical drawings of san francisco. these drawings range from 1908

to 2010. [♪♪♪] [laughter] >> i build muscle. a lot of people don't know this, but we have a full team of architects that designed specific buildings and public safety. sometimes it is creating a brand-new building from the ground up. other times it is giving new life to one of our historic structures. [♪♪♪] >> i had to have some degree of artistic skill from a handcraft point of view to become an architect at that time. it is an incredible amount of loss, in my opinion, to not draw by hand. that skill of having to manipulate a pencil or a pen to make line wait and to make the

drawing we've. i have seen this development of technology and this huge transformation in the world his that you do leave some things behind that have beauty to them. [♪♪♪] >> now a day, technologies a completely different. we're not using paper, we are not using paint pencils, but we are using computers to model our buildings to produce drawings, it is different craftsmanship. >> in addition to the beautiful drawings, the person who was taking care of our file for almost 30 years was the one who organized those drawings and listed all of them in big binders with all the name of the projects, and they were still using these which is amazing. >> 840. we are building an electronic archive of all the drawings for future use.

the scanning project started back in march, 2018. we have scans about 36,000 sheets of paper and there's the remaining balance of 93,981. we can do about 100 sheets per day. hopefully by february 2020, it will be completed. >> we feel that our collection of historical drawings represents san francisco's a rich history. not only do we help make history , we also preserve it for the benefit of future >> first it's always the hardest and when they look back they really won't see you, but it's the path that you're paving forward for the next one behind you that counts. (♪♪♪)

hi, my name is jajaida durden and i'm the acting superintendent for the bureau of forestry and i work for public works operations. and i'm over the landscaping, the shop and also the arborist crew. and some tree inspectors as well. i have been with the city and county of san francisco for 17 years. and i was a cement mason, that was my first job. when i got here i thought that it was too easy. so i said one day i'll be a supervisor. and when i run this place it will be ran different. and i didn't think that it would happen as fast as it did, but it did. and i came in 2002 and became a supervisor in 2006. and six months later i became the permanent supervisor over the shop. >> with all of those responsibilities and the staff you're also dealing with different attitudes and you have to take off one hat and put on

another hat and put on another hat. and she's able -- she's displayed that she can carry the weight with all of these different hats and still maintain the respect of the director, the deputy director and all of the other people that she has to come in contact with. >> she's a natural leader. i mean with her staff, her staff thinks highly of her. and the most important thing is when we have things that happen, a lot of emergencies, she's right by me and helps me out every time that i have asked. >> my inspiration is when i was a young adult was to become a fire woman. well, i made some wrong decisions and i ended up being incarcerated, starting young and all the way up to an adult. when i was in jail they had a little program called suppers program and i -- supers program, and i met strong women in there and they introduced me to construction. i thought that the fire department would turn me down

because i had a criminal history. so i looked into options of what kind of construction i could do. while i was in jail. and the program that i was in, they re-trained us on living and how to make the right decisions and i chose construction. and cement mason didn't require a high school diploma at that time so i figured i could do that. when i got out of jail they had a program in the philmore area and i went there. my first day out i signed up and four days later i started to work and i never looked back. i was an apprentice pouring concrete. and my first job was mount zion emergency hospital which is now ucsf. and every day that i drive by ucsf and i look at the old mount zion emergency, i have a sense

of pride knowing that i had a part of building that place. yeah, i did. i graduated as an apprentice and worked on a retrofit for city hall. i loved looking at that building and i take big pride in knowing that i was a part of that retrofit. my first formen job was a 40 story building from the ground up. and it's a predominantly male industry and most of the times people underestimate women. i'm used to it though, it's a challenge for me. >> as a female you're working with a lot of guys. so when they see a woman, first they don't think that the woman is in charge and to know that she's a person that is in charge with operations, i think that it's great, because it's different. it's not something -- i mean, not only a female but the only female of color. >> i was the first female finisher in the cement shop and

i was the first crew supervisor, in the shop as a woman. when i became a two, the supervisors would not help me. in the middle, they'd call me a rookie, an apprentice and a female trying to get somewhere that she don't belong. oh, it was terrible. it was terrible. i didn't have any support from the shop. the ones who said they supported me, they didn't, they talked about me behind my back. sometimes i had some crying, a lot of crying behind doors, not in public. but i had a lot of mentors. my mentor i will call and would pick up the phone and just talk, talk, talk, please help me. what am i going to do? hang in there. it was frustrating and disheartening, it really was. but what they didn't understand is that because they didn't help me i had to learn it. and then probably about a year

later, that's when i started to lay down the rules because i had studied them and i learned them and it made me a good supervisor and i started to run the ship the way that i wanted to. it was scary. but the more i saw women coming through the shop, i saw change coming. i knew that it was going to come, but i didn't know how long it would take. it was coming. in the beginning when i first came here and i was the first woman here as a finisher, to see the change as it progressed and for me to become a permanent assistant superintendent over the cement shop right now, that's my highlight. i can look down at my staff and see the diversity from the women to the different coaches in here and know that no one has to ever go through what i went through coming up. and i foster and help everyone instead of pushing them away.

i'll talk to women and tell them they can make it and if they need any help, come talk to me. and they knock on my door and ask how i move up and how i get training. i'm always encouraging to go to school and encourage them to take up some of the training with d.p.w. and i would tell them to hold strong and understand that things that we go through today that are tough makes you stronger for tomorrow. although we don't like hearing it at the time that we're going through all of this stuff, it helps you in the long run to become a better woman and a person

>> i don't want to be involved in the process after it happens. i want to be there at the front end to help people with something in my mind from a very early age. our community is the important way to look at things, even now. george floyd was huge. it opened up wounds and a discussion on something festering for a long time. before rodney king. you can look at all the instances where there are calls for change. i think we are involved in change right now in this moment that is going to be lo lasting. it is very challenging. i was the victim of a crime when i was in middle school. some kids at recess came around at pe class and came to the locker room and tried to steal

my watch and physically assaulted me. the officer that helped afterwards went out of his way to check the time to see how i was. that is the kind of work, the kind of perspective i like to have in our sheriff's office regardless of circumstance. that influenced me a lot. some of the storefronts have changed. what is mys is that i still see some things that trigger memories. the barbershop and the shoe store is another one that i remember buying shoestrings and getting my dad's old army boots fixed. we would see movies after the first run. my brother and i would go there. it is nice. if you keep walking down sacramento. the nice think about the city it takes you to japan town. that is where my grandparents

were brought up. that is the traditional foods or movies. they were able to celebrate the culture in that community. my family also had a dry-cleaning business. very hard work. the family grew up with apartments above the business. we have a built-in work force. 19 had 1 as -- 1941 as soon as that happened the entire community was fixed. >> determined to do the job as democracy should with real consideration for the people involved. >> the decision to take every one of japan niece american o japanese from their homes. my family went to the mountains and experienced winter and

summer and springs. they tried to make their home a home. the community came together to share. they tried to infuse each home are little things. they created things. i remember my grand mother saying they were very scared. they were worried. they also felt the great sense of pride. >> japanese americans. >> my granduncle joined the 442nd. when the opportunity came when the time that was not right. they were in the campaign in italy. they were there every step of the way. >> president truman pays tribute. >> that was the most decorated

unit in the history of the united states army. commitment and loyal to to the country despite that their families were in the camp at that time. they chose to come back to san francisco even after all of that. my father was a civil servant as well and served the state of california workers' compensation attorney and judge and appellate board. my parents influenced me to look at civil service s.i applied to police, and sheriff's department at the same time. the sheriff's department grabbed me first. it was unique. it was not just me in that moment it was everyone. it wasn't me looking at the crowd. it was all of us being together. i was standing there alone. i felt everyone standing next to

me. the only way to describe it. it is not about me. it is from my father. my father couldn't be there. he was sick. the first person i saw was him. i still sometimes am surprised by the fact i see my name as the sheriff. i am happy to be in the position i am in to honor their memory doing what i am doing now to help the larger comment. when i say that we want to be especially focused on marginalized communities that have been wronged. coming from my background and my family experienced what they did. that didn't happen in a vacuum. it was a decision made by the government. nobody raised their voice. now, i think we are in a better

place as country and community. when we see something wrong we have change agents step up to help the community affected. that is a important thing to continue to do. you talk about change and being a leader in change and not knowing whether you have successes or results. the fact of the matter is by choosing to push for change you have already changed things. through inspiration for others, take up the matter or whether it is through actual functional change as a result of your voice being heard. i think you have already started on a path to change by choosing that path. in doing that in april of itself creates change. i continue in that type of service for my family. something i hope to see in my children. i have a pretty good chance with five children one will go into some sort of civil service.

i hope that happens to continue that legacy. >> i am paul, sheriff of san francisco. [ music ] television.

>> in 1948 swensen's ice cream used to make ice cream in the navy and decided to open up an ice cream shop it it takes time for the parent to put money down and diane one of the managers at zen citizen in arena hills open and serve old-fashioned ice cream. >> over 20 years. >> yeah. >> had my own business i was a firefighter and came in- in 1969 her dad had ice cream and
