but i may be wrong. supervisor chris daly originally drafted decades ago upon the creation of small business which provision prescribed the small business commission would go through an application selection press for a public event honoring mall business owners this broadens that requiring that during small accident month. the department coordinate activities to encourage the yes or no public to support small businesses in the city and county of can san francisco. i have done this change in coordination with katy tang the director of the mall business office. and we are here to answer questions that you may have. >> thank you. colleagues, are there any?

cost weighing for design, build and contractor best value procure am and consideration of contract and performance evidence and consider contractors for award of public works contract. >> thank you. we are joined by supervisor mandelman the sponsor. welcome. the floor is yours >> thank you, chair dorsey. the legislation you have before you today respondses to and implements 2 recommendations of 2 different civil grand juries one report came out in june of 2021. specifically looking at van ness brt challenges. and the other came out in april of 22. and looking for broadly at capitol project delivery. and so.

initially we felt to combine the 2 sets of recommendations. we have in the course of conversation with city stake holders determined it might make sense to operate them out. as currently drafted it would do 2 things. first, thing, this is out of june 21 report, would be to amend the administrative code to cost criteria in award of construction management general contractor or cmg conrackets and allow for department discretion weighing cost and noncosts on a case by case basis. the advance nesz brt wagz lives an allowance of low are waiting threshold but i think the grand jury concluded and others confirms cost waiting for contracts is not the right way

tong about them and should think about the value of the contract and the capacity of the contractor to deliver the thing we are asking for rather than in the front end of what may be a long project get cost estimates they have no religion to what may happen and do fighting about change orders for 10 years. so that , the first change would be that. the second thing the legislation would do is require and this is based on the 2022 civil grant jury report require chapter 6 departments to consider a contractor past performance when evaluating the award by requiring consult pass contractor performance evaluations. we did the prior board did mandate creation of a contractor performance data base that data base has not been used. we felt it could not hurt to take this to the grand injury recommendation we require

departments to consult in data base. you know considering the feedback from the stake holders the gravity of the issue in the need to address our capitol project delivery challenges the general feeling that from some and i'm not sure we are on board but the feeling this data base is in the necessarily the right way to improve performance, what i am going to ask you to do is move forward the one piece of this that is dealing with the waiting of cost criteria from the 2021 report. and hold the other one in committee to have more conversation busy whether this makes sense or bring in something else. so. procedurally that would be duplicating the file. separating the 2 legislation and then advancing a dub indicated

amending out the past performance piece as -- my description is this is in the as good as the amendments we are circulated by my staff earlier but duplicate the file. amend out the 2022 pieces related to the data base and forward the duplicated file with the cost provisions to the full board with positive recommendation. in addition to my staff who worked on this jacob and ross green of course want to thank the civil grand jury and taylor and city attorney's office for her work. i hope that is clear i'm happy to answer questions. >> great. thank you, supervisor mandelman i want to express my gratitude for you and your team for your work on this and i will echo

your thanks to the civil grand jury for their work as well and i will say that especially i shareit@cbsaustin.com sentiment avoiding situations where we fight over change orders i have seen from my time in the city attorney's office nobody win in that situation. i value your work and i don't see anybody with questions.offi situation. i value your work and i don't see anybody with questions. members when would like to speak lineup at the podium. row motely, call 415-655-0001, access code: 2480 819 2523 ##, star 3 to enter the queue.

do dispatching for fire, for medical and we also do dispatching for police. >> we staff multiple call taking positions. as well as positions for police and fire dispatch. >> we have a priority 221. >> i wanted to become a dispatcher so i could help people. i really like people. i enjoy talking to people. this is a way that i thought that i could be involved with people every day. >> as a 911 dispatcher i am the first first responder. even though i never go on seen -- scene i'm the first one answering the phone call to calm the victim down and give them instruction. the information allows us to coordinate a response. police officers, firefighters, ambulances or any other agency. it is a great feeling when everyone gets to go home safely at the end of the day knowing that you've also saved a citizen's life. >> our department operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365

days a year. >> this is shift work. that means we work nights, weekends and holidays and can involve over time and sometimes that's mandatory. >> this is a high stress career so it's important to have a good balance between work and life. >> we have resources available like wellness and peer support groups. our dispatchers of the month are recognized for their outstanding performance and unique and ever changing circumstances. >> i received an accommodation and then i received dispatcher of the month, which was really nice because i was just released from the phones. so for them to, you know, recognize me for that i appreciated it. i was surprised to even get it. at the end of the day i was just doing my job. >> a typical dispatch shift includes call taking and dispatching. it takes a large dedicated group of first responders to make this department run and in turn keep the city safe. >> when you work here you don't work alone, you work as part of

a team. you may start off as initial phone call or contact but everyone around you participating in the whole process. >> i was born and raised in san francisco so it's really rewarding to me to be able to help the community and know that i have a part in -- you know, even if it's behind the scenes kind of helping the city flow and helping people out that live here. >> the training program begins with our seven-week academy followed by on the job training. this means you're actually taking calls or dispatching responders. >> you can walk in with a high school diploma, you don't need to have a college degree. we will train you and we will teach you how to do this job. >> we just need you to come with an open mind that we can train you and make you a good dispatcher. >> if it's too dangerous to see and you think that you can get away and call us from somewhere safe. >> good. that's right. >> from the start of the academy to being released as a

solo dispatcher can take nine months to a year. >> training is a little over a year and may change in time. the training is intense. very intense. >> what's the number one thing that kills people in this country? so we're going to assume that it's a heart attack, right? don't forget that. >> as a new hire we require you to be flexible. you will be required to work all shifts that include midnights, some call graveyard, days and swings. >> you have to be willing to work at different times, work during the holidays, you have to work during the weekends, midnight, 6:00 in the morning, 3:00 in the afternoon. that's like the toughest part of this job. >> we need every person that's in here and when it comes down to it, we can come together and we make a really great team and

to do that. >> can you give me a break down of a typical day for you? >> i come to work and sit at my desk and then i respond to e-mails and try to figure out what are some of the issues we need to address. can we hire more people. what kinds of policies we want to try to create that will help us do our job as ems. >> what does it take to be a female paramedic? >> you know, it takes quite a bit of schooling, but also required somebody who's empathetic. it can be a very stressful job and so we want people to be able to hand that on a day-to-day basis. >> so what's your greatest satisfaction in your job? >> trying to make sure that the work that we provide and the services that we provide to the community is the best that we can in ems so that when we go out to see you if you call us for an emergency, that we'll be able to treat you in the best way possible and that you get the care as quickly and as effectively as possible.

>> why is it important for young girls, women of color to see women in these roles? >> i think it really is important for us to be able to get into these roles because we are effective, we are able to reach out to the community. we are able to do the job in a very effective manner and to be able to relate to the community and be able to do that is one of the best things that we can do. and people of color and as women of color, you know, we are in a great position to be able to do that.

amount not to exceed $400,000, for a term not to exceed two years. >> members joining remotely and wish to comment, please call 415-655-0001. id24898150572 and press pound twice. press star 3 to entering the speaker line. when the system indicates you are unmuted that is your signal to begin comments. >> verbal presentation today for this item by kelly. special project manager from department of public health. thank you. it looks like the sponsor from supervisor stefani is here. >> thank you madam chair. (indiscernible) legislative aid to supervisor stefani. the item will wave the administration requirement to authorize department of public health to enter

into agreement with planned parenthood northern california to fund security personnel to support access to healthcare services. the amount will not exceed $400 thousand and term will not exceed 2 years. the source of the funding is city wide add back in the last budget cycle of $400 thousand intended for security service as planned parenthood. abortion and rep productive healthcare providers are the target of anti-abortion threats disruption and violence which is on the rise in recent years. in 2021, the national abortion federation from the year prior there was 600 percent increase in stalking incidents and 128 increase in assault and battery. 2022, the department of homeland security issued national teraism advisory system bulletin which noted there is heightened threat of

violence. adequately trained security personnel, may be deterred doing so by threats of intimitation, violence and may subject to harassment and violence if they seek service. (indiscernible) especiallyly trained security personnel, supervisor stefani requested the 30 day hold be waived and thanks president peskin for granting and understand and appreciate the bla recommend the ordinance amend to include a reporting requirement, however given the acute need supervisor stefani feels the reporting requirement outlined in article 6 of the grant agreement would suffice. thank you for your time and attention to the important matter. there are representatives from department of public health and planned parenthood here to answer any questions. >> thank you. we have a bla

report for this. that's my question. is the department of public health still going to make presentation? >> no, we are just here to answer questions. >> no problem. thank you. >> this ordinance authorize department of public health to wave competitive solicitation requirements to provide a one time grant of $400 thousand to planned parenthood effective april 2023 through march 2025 and would be used to fund security services through a contract between planned parenthood. i want to say we are planning to revise the recommendation that we put in our report, and what we are recommending instead is the ordinance be amended to request a report to the board

of supervisors from department of public health on annual basis on the security contract and staffing and summary of security incidents during the reporting period. otherwise we do recommend approval of your ordinance as amended and i'm available to answer questions. >> thank you. i do have a question for the department of public health. the disterance between the existing security contract between allied universal and the grant is switching to the-preference by the planned parenthood. the difference i try to understand is that ally universal is not armed, but as we switch to with public dollars we will be armed security. >> that is one of the primary differences that ally

has been unarmed service, the planned apparent hood normal security company is going to be armed. they are mostly retired police officers and so licensed to carry. the other reason is because the s2 security service is long-standing and quite familiar with strategies and techniques and tactical methods for management the advocates comes to protest and can manage the safety and security for the site, because they have been there. >> when you say former retire police officers are they from sfpd? >> no, i think they- >> in general. >> understood. is the s2 security also being used by planned parenthood outside san francisco? >> yes, they support walnut creek and (indiscernible) >> any questions? i

see supervisor mandelman has a question. >> yeah, i like feedback from the sponsor and dph on the revised reporting requirement. bla proposed a revised reporting requirement and curious. >> the department feels the recommendation from bla is a good one and our intention would be to actually rather then modify the ordinance but put it in specifically as the bla requested to be added to the grant agreement so it is built into the agreement and not have to modify the ordinance. that would be our request. >> how does that happen without modifying? >> not sure procedurally- >> we will accept the bla recommendation today, right? >> i'm not sure if dph

is saying-say again what you would- >> our preferred would be to not have to modify the ordinance and we will agree that it will go if to our grant agreement that the reporting requirement will have the structure recommended by the bla. >> what is the issue with modifying the ordinance? >> our concern is there might be a time delay if we have- >> it isn't-i'm getting a no from the state attorney. >> then we are fine. >> alright. i like to be added as cosponsor. >> thank you. clarifying, annual report-i think previously-just for everyone general public, previously the budget legislative analyst report was adjusting a bit more frequent understanding that in that event if that happens and i think that is a conformation from the deputy city attorney,

in the event we want more frequent reporting other then annual report, then that is when it becomes substantive, is that correct? >> deputy city attorney ann pearson. no, as a general report reporting requirementerize not substantive so if you want to require it be more frequent then annually you could ask for that. you could also-given the fact the department has agreed to do this just reflects their agreement in a additional whereas clause. >> thank you. i think-thank you, i think we are in agreement. i think annual report the bla agreed to amend their recommendation to annual report, of course we are also-i agree to it as well, and that thank you for also for the department agreeing to annual reporting, both reflicting in the ordinance and grant agreement. as you can understand, quhile i don't totally understand the

security challenges that particularly unique to planned parenthood, i think the fact they have switched from to a arm security, i think it is something for us to-with public dollars funding that security is something for us to just make sure that we hold ourselves accountable. that's all there is to it. you have vice chair mandelman as a cosponsor now. supervisor safai. >> thank you. i just wanted to add-the bla had recommended quarterly reports. was there a reason for quarterly versus annual? >> (indiscernible)

>> got. >> if the board wants more frequent timeframe that would be- >> that's fine. i just wanted to-incident report on regular basis. dph will have more frequent reports and the board will have a annual report, right? >> we can certainly add that agreement. we were thinking we were doing is taking the recommendation from the bla and putting that into our grant agreement at the annual reporting. if it is preferred we do quarterly and annual back to the board we can do that. >> that was the recommendation-sorry, ann is standing up now. >> what i understand is the grant includes a reporting requirement to dph and i hear what the bla is suggesting that the ordinance be amended to requirement dph provide reporting to the board and that secondary reporting

would be memorialized in the ordinance by amendment. >> i was just reading the bla report and says something little different then, but that's okay. my second is through the chair to the city attorney, normally i'm not in favor of doing sole source contracts so i just want to know if the city attorney had a opportunity to look at that and i understand the need for it and want to say this isn't a unique situation. sounds like there might be threats or have been threats of violence and so we want to make sure we have the appropriate level of security, but i want to make sure that-wanted to hear from the city attorney office on the idea of sole source. >> deputy city attorney ann pearson. as you know, the board adopted ledgeilation your or 2 ago to establish chapter 21g the administrative code which applies specific procurement

requirements to grants alongs the one of the ones that exist pr procuring contracts. 21g does prohibit osole source grant making, and that is precisely while dh apartment is here before you today with a ordinance to wave that provision. there is a exception being sought here that requires board of supervisors approval because of the necessity for getting this money to this one individual contractor. >> got it. thank you. just for my clarity, the current contractor isn't able to provide the level of security that you are looking for? >> that's correct. >> got it. thank you. >> thank you. let's go to public comment. >> thank you madam chair. [providing instructions for public comment]

[providing instructions for public comment] madam chair. >> thank you mr. clerk. today we have a verbal presentation by deputy director of operation finance and grants from department of public health. no one here? >> yes, good morning. i am virtual. thank you. want to introduce myself. (indiscernible) deputy director of operations (indiscernible) thank you for allowing me to be here today. as the covid-19 pandemic heightened awareness for support and resources across the population health division, in addition to the

recent covid-19 and m pox outbreak, ph.d is in a state we respond annually to activation such as fires and extreme heat: given the current state of the population of division, which is public health arm of the department of public health, the state of california and department of public health leadership supported efforts to improve infrastructure pursuing the fuper of public health grant. the resources will support the work at the population health division, with emphasis on communicatable disease and infection control. a small group as taken a look at the current structure and created a opportunity to strengthen the infrastructure by preparing for growth and to support the growing needs of san francisco. (indiscernible) health division will

allow layer of support for integrated work with the community partners and with the broader department of public health. a key function that we do plan to maintain and expand is our data analytics to support community lead and work and prevention. these changes will strengthen population health current programs and also to support transformational and innovative work to help support and identify gaps in the areas for improvement. the future of public health grant will support ph d with the expansion and support to manage the city's growing public health needs. i can continue on with some of the benefits or does anyone have any questions at this time for me? >> we are going to go to the bla report at the budget legislative analyst

report for the item? my apologies. no, we don't have a bla report. it is my pet peeve, sorry, don't mean to say that, but it is not ph.d it is department of public health so the code is dph. i wanted to say that on the record for the acronym, it is dph. my question for this though is that, looking at this, because it brings-not only it is retroactive but it funds full time positions of a total 17 of them, but it looks like it is reoccurring grants and i just want to make sure reoccurring grants will cover all 17 full time positions? >> that's correct. >> great. any questions colleagues? actually one more question. when we talk about reoccurring grants, how long is

the reoccurrence? >> this grant is ongoing, and the plan is that once the grant is close to expiration our grant management team will continue its future grants to continue the funding. >> then if they don't receive the funding to sport the 17 full time, what will happen? >> that is a great question. i'm going to turn that over to greg wong, who has been helping us with the budget portion of this grant. >> thank you. >> good morning. from what-i agree the positions will be funded in the future by auto-occurring grants awards. >> (indiscernible)

>> other. >> right. so if you do not receive other reoccurring grants, what will happen to the 17 positions? >> in the incident where we are not able to get the reoccurring grant awards this will have to be evaluated. >> will have to be what? >> we will have to evaluate if that happens. >> but-okay. i think this is a larger conversation that we should have frankly about-this is not unique to dph. i think we have other, like for example, department of technology, have or grant positions as well. we have other city departments that also have with the grants that brings in positions and i think that-i look forward to

having a really conversation that is with the budget office, the mayor budget office with director and just looking forward through the process to talk about some of these positions, how we streamline them and in the future especially in the events that a list of positions that are grant funded, and what do we do with these positions when they expire, because i'm not questioning the importance of these positions, and that they are important and critical to us, but i think that we need to have sort of what i would say a backup plan in the event these grants expire. i would love to be able to count on state grants for these positions, but just wanted to just have a backup plan. thank you so much for your answers and i appreciate it. should we go to public comment? let's go to public comment? >> yes, madam chair- [providing instructions for public comment]

>> we have no speakers in the queue. >> thank you. seeing no public comment, public comment is now closed. mr. clerk, i would like to make the motion to move this item forward to full board with recommendation at this time. please call the roll. >> on the motion to forward the ordinance to full board with positive recommendation- [roll call] >> we have three ayes. >> thank you, the motion passes. please call item 4.

>> item 4, resolution authorizing the assessor to enter into a joint exercise of powers agreement with other california counties to become a member of the california county assessors' information technology authority to receive, manage, and expend up to $30,000,000 of state funds for technology improvements for county assessor offices. [providing instructions for public comment] >> thank you. these are my favorite agreements because we bring money to the city. we have the verbal presentation by holly long, directser of public affairs from office of assessor recorder. >> good morning chair chan and with committee members. thank you for your time and consideration of this item today. we like to also thank board president peskin

for sponsoring this legislation. holly long, director of affairs. if approved the resolution authorizing our office to join as a member agency as a california county assessor information technology authority. last year fiscal year 22-23, the state authorized up to $30 million over 3 years for the development of state wide information technology systems to assist in the standardization of state wide assessment practice in sharing reporting of assessment data with state and local agencies. as a member agency, we would have a seat and voice at the table to advance transparency, equitable access and government efficiencies as the systems are built to share information and resources with the public. members of the authority provide expertise and support throughout the system bill process. as of this month, 34 of the 58 counties in california have become

members. there is no fiscal impact to counties, the california assessor association funded the start up cost to create the authority and the state department of finance has deposited $10 million with authority to begin the pre-development and business analysis phases of the first joint system project. a proposition 19 portal. if needed the city and county of san francisco would have the option to withdraw from the authority with 90 day written notice. we respectfully request recommendation for the resolution so we might participate to build systems of support and meet the needs of our staff and san francisco residents. thank you for your consideration and i'm available to take any questions. >> thank you. seeing no questions from colleagues, no questions from me and let's go to public comment. [providing instructions for public comment]

seeing no in person speakers in the chamber, and madam chair, there are no speakers in the queue. >> seeing no public comment, public comment is closed. mr. clerk, i like to make a motion to move this item to full board with positive recommendation. please call the roll. >> on the motion to forward the resolution to full board with positive recommendation- [roll call] we have three ayes. >> thank you. mr. clerk, the motion passes and please call item number 5 and this has a bla report. >> yes, item 5, ordinance

appropriating $4,579,056 of california public utilities commission revenue in the san francisco public utilities commission for cleanpowersf capital improvements to implement the community food service energy efficiency program and placing $3,052,704 on controller's reserve, in fiscal year (fy) 2022-2023. [providing instructions for public comment] madam chair. >> thank you mr. clerk. today we have a presentation by mike himes, director of clean powersf and i think laura bush as well. budget director from the public utility commission. thank you. >> good morning supervisors. mike himes with san francisco public utility commission. i got prepared remarks for you and happy to take

questions on this item. i'm here today to seek the committee support for supplemental budget appropriation to fund a new community food service energy efficiency program for clean powersf customers. last year the california public utility commission approved approximately $4.5 million in rate payer funds to implement clean powersf proposed program. all these funds come from public purpose program charges levied on clean powersf customer bills, which clean powersf is entitled to receive as a community choice aggregate or under state law. the community food service program aims to assist restaurants grocery stores corner stores and non profits like food banks and meal services in achieving energy sufficiency savings. the program will do so by working with a energy service company to provide

free energy assessments and install energy efficient equipment like efficient refrigeration induction stoves, lighting and other equipment at no up front cost to participating businesses. for two years following equipment instillation, energy savings will be measured at the customer electricity meters by clean powersf and the participating businesses will make payments on the equipment to equal to the savings that they see on their bill. additionally, program incentive payments are made to the energy service company based on energy savings performance. the more energy savings the company achieves, the more it can receive incentives subject to the program budgetary limits. the sfpuc will issue request for proposal to contact with implementing energy service company later this year. once the energy service company is

under contract, the program may be implemented. the cpuc aen provered funding specific to this program and responding must be reported annually. with the ordinance today we are asking that the board of supervisors appropriate the approximately $4.5 million budget supplemental for this program placing approximately $3 million on controller appropriation reserve pending receipt of the funds. that concludes mour prepared remarks and happy to take questions you may havementf . >> thank you. >> chair chans, members of committee. this ordinance appropriates $4.6 million in california puc revenues to the clean powersf program and places $3 million on controller reserve pending receipt of funds. the grant is for over 3 years so it is $1.5 million per year in the appropriation. and then the program would

assist food service business and non profit with energy efficiency, and energy improvement over the 3 year period. we summarized the spending oen the grant and we recommend approval. >> thank you. supervisor safai. >> i had a couple questions about the budget. thank you so much for this proposal. i see the administration of the program makes sense to me and the marketing to let people know about it. can you tell me what the line item energy management planning means and how that relates to the program? >> absolutely. the way this program works is, the contractor will go in the community, added by community engagement work with the company and it department of environment and as it

identifies potential sites it will perform a energy assessment and it will submit a report to the business. if the business is interested in pursuing the upgrades, the company will bring to the puc the team managing this project, the proposal. so, as the company delivers proposals it agreed to, there will be a payment made to the company for that portion of the work with- >> which company? >> the implementing energy service company. that is the portion of the budget that you are referring to is that planning portion of the project. >> so that line item is what is paying the company to do the work? >> it is paying the company to bring-to effective develop the project i to bring the customer into the program, and then the incentives, which is the line below that will pay

for energy savings once the work is completed. >> who pays for the work? >> the energy service company. this model the way- >> that comes out of this line item? >> no- >> that isn't reflected? >> it isn't reflected here, no. what this program does is leveraging the capital the energy service company can bring towards these projects. >> i guessthalities that's the meat of the question because i know ontime if you do energy savings or upgrades or efficiency there is a cost associated with that. can be between 20 and $30 thousand per business, so--by the way, this is from experience working on the ground with a lat of these businesses . if they don't have incentives or a program or matching or fund they can tap into, they are not go toog ing to do it. i want to know who is going to pay for

it? and it sounds like the energy company will pay for it, the business won't pay at all? >> that's right. that's the model. >> okay, so puc is being paid on theed a ministration portion to administer and work with the provider. there is marketing and outreach and then once they actually do the work the energy service provider or energy service efficiency company, they then tap into the energy management planning dollars, because they actually successfully convinced or worked with it company to be more energy efficient and then the direct imlment incentives go to whom? >> those incentives also go to the company, but based on measured energy savings. so, the idea here is that the company is held to performance. what we want to do is we want to create energy savings within the city at these customer sites and those savings also help pay for the

measures themselves. >> do you-sorry, do you is a qualified list of energy third party providers that you contract with that do this work already? >> not yet. we are preparing a request for proposals hopefully to go out in the next couple months. >> that is broader to this program or specific to this program? >> it is specific to this program and this is the first time we have run a program like this. >> great. very exciting. it a great model because again, many of these businesses would not partake if they didn't and you want to get someone in the industry and you answered my last question, were you going to go through a competitive process to choose the provider. we had a problem before with the department of environment, they brought up a completed package like this and had already chosen the company, hadn't gone through rfp, it caused a lot of

consternation and problems-the fact that you already done all those things and are going through a rfp, i think makes it much more precise so we appreciate it. i would imagine that you are going to target areas of the city that are less afffluent, businesses less affluent? >> a core intent of this program is to reach hard to reach sites. i will just to give you a little of flavor how this works, in applying to the california puc for these funds we also have to meet the california pu c cost effectiveness test. what that mean s is that, the investment of rate payer funds needs to be cost effective when you account for energy savings

delivered, so-but, this program is really designed to target what we identifieds a gaps in existing energy efficiency programs that are out there and available to customers today. so, the energy service company is going to be needing to balance some smaller and larger business types in order to achieve the cost effective ntss, but our focus is working with energy service company to make sure that this program is marketed across the city and every part of the city, and delivers these services to hard to reach businesses. >> is there a prioritization because it is a broad list of-it says non profits, grocery stores, corner stores, restaurants, food banks, homeless shelters, meal delivery service-is there a target within that because it isn't a large pool of money? is there a specific targeted industry? >> there isn't really. the way this is defined is

based on a food service (indiscernible) i know the acronym but not sure-national something or other. it defines a category of businesses, and so i think what ultimately will-if we see a lot of demand that out source the program that is a great problem for us to have because we are able to go back to california puc and seek additional funding so i hope that is the problem that we have. >> i would just add that i think based on spl some of the work supervisor mandalman and others have done towards the move of electrification in number of industries, particularly in the restaurant limited restaurant area, there was a lot consternation and lot of education and lot of

resistance. it could be a nice partnership if you look at restaurants and smaller restaurants that could be incent vised to participate and partake in that through this type of work. >> absolutely. when we were envisioning this program it was during the pandemic and we were envisioning surveying a part of the community that was going to need help. emerging out of the pandemic. so, that was intentional. >> great. thank you so much. i would like to be added as cosponsor to this. appreciate it. >> thank you. i think just want to flag the appropriation-the supplemental appropriation is not from the city fund, it is actually from the revenue generated by the sfpuc from the california public utility commission, so this is the money that is actually we are

receiving and appropriating. with that said, let's go to public comment. >> yes, madam chair- [providing instructions for public comment] seeing no in person speakers, here in the chamber, mr. lam, if you can unmute our caller, please. >> great. david pillpel, i assume you can hear me. i support this item. this sounds like a great program that puc will be implementing using appropriate rate pay er dollars. it sound to me a lot like the old energy watch program that the

department of the environment had a number of years, may still have in coordination with the pg&e and others, including community partners so encourage puc to work closely with the department of the environment as to existing partners outreach methodologies and what not to serve the various populations intended here, but this sound like a great program and again support this appropriation. thanks. >> thank you much david pillpel for your comments. that completes our queue. >> public comment is now closed. vice chair mandelman. >> thank you madam chair. thank you for your work on this and please add me as a cosponsor as well. kwrrks >> thank you. before i make the motion to move this forward to full board with positive recommendation, just thinking about upcoming budget and as

well as sort of just thinking overall some of like supervisor safai mentioned about vice chair mandelman's work on moving home appliances to-as well as commercial appliances to really electric appliances. i would love to see that continuing effort. not just for food industries, but just really that is including things like leaf blower for small businesses and are trying to move from gas to electric and just looking at water heater, moving for home owners moving from water heater to-gas to electric and in fact, we know mtc has really or bay area air quality council has moved forward with it to make that mandate happen, so

just would love to see expansion or discussion in partnership with department of environment thinking about home appliances moving to electric appliances for both small business owners as well as for home owners and small property owners. looking forward to seeing that taking place in the coming months and with that said, i would like to move this item to full board with positive recommendation. mr. clerk, please call the roll. >> on the motion to forward the ordinance to full board with positive recommendation- [roll call] >> we have three ayes. >> thank you. the motion passes. mr. clerk, please call item 6. >> item 6, resolution approving the 2023 lease and use

agreement between the city and county of san francisco, acting by and through its airport commission, and 29 airlines to conduct flight operations at the san francisco international airport, for a term of ten years, from july 1, 2023, through june 30, 2033; affirming the planning department's determination under the california environmental quality act; and to authorize the airport director to enter into modifications to the lease that do not materially increase the obligations or liabilities to the city and are necessary to effectuate the purposes of the lease or this resolution. [providing instructions for public comment] madam chair. >> thank you. colleagues, this item this lease agreement is a great consequence concludes extensive and complete negotiation with dozens of in this case particularly

29 airlines. this lease will enable sfo to continue flight operations and critical landing and terminal fees. it is many ways a blueprint for recovery of the city. airport commission under the leadership of eleanor johns as president approved unanimously this lease on february 7, 2023. it was here intelgence are, attention to detail, commitment to accountability and good business and (indiscernible) finalize terms with dozen air lines. she is looking down on us this very day, in fact it is really the day that her friends and family gather to celebrate her life today at noon, so as we move this item forward and or at least closer to completion--with that

said though, i think that there are a few things i like to get clarification on. i am supportive of the item as recommended by the bla, but let's actually go to the presentation. actually, we are not going to the presentation, we are continuing it. my apologies. so i do have questions about the $800 million of operation reserve as well as the capital improvement funding that i really would like to have a better understanding. this is a $5.1 billion lease agreement that i think colleagues we should take the time to really understand and have more information. it is my intention to actually continue this item to april 19 because there are actually additional 11 airlines that will be coming forward with a similar term and are condition that we should

discuss. with that said, i am going to continue the item to april 19 and at that time we'll have the airport presentation and bla report at that time. vice chair mandelman. >> thank you chair chan and i appreciate the additional time on this item as well. i do want to congratulate the airport on the work they've done getting to thish opponent with the air lines on the leases. i have some concerns actually and i know others on the board do as well about service workers at sfo, and the status of negotiations around what i think is going on now 10 years with a master contract, and so i will be reaching out to our friends at the airlines during this time and the airport as well and trying to get a better understanding of what's going on with that. thank you. >> thank you. seeing

no other comments and let's gee -go to public comment. >> thank you madam chair. [providing instructions for public comment] seeing no in person speakers, mr. lam if you can unmute your caller, please. >> great. david pillpel again. i appreciate the staff work here. (indiscernible) airport director and his staff and city attorney folks do a great job at sfo every day and thank you to all the people at sfo that we don't hear from

often. i note the continuing annual service payment, which i understand is unusual and perhaps unique to sfo providing minimum of $5 million or 15 percent of airport concession revenue to the general fund. that is is ongoing source and relatively stable and predictable compared to other general fund sources, and again, unusual and perhaps unique to sfo. i did note in the packet some of the forms 126 list the clerk of the board's main phone number and not cathy widener phone number and perhaps we should list cathy widener office number, not cell. finally, i agree and also saddened by the passing of airport commission president eleanor johns. she was strong, she was smart, she was a incredible person and are she will definitely be missed. i have no objection to giving this a little more time. it is a 10 year lease and

will survive all of the current members of the board, so i think it is important to give it to the time and attention that it deserves. thank you sore very much for listening to my comments. >> thank you for your comments. madam chair, that completes the queue. >> thank you. seeing no more public comment, public comment is closed. colleagues, i would like to make the motion to continue this item to our budget and finance committee on april 19. mr. clerk, please call the roll. >> yes, on the motion to continue this resolution to april 19 meeting of this committee- [roll call] >> we have three ayes. >> thank you, the motion passes. please call item 7 and 8 together. >> items 7 and 8 are ordinances for the following to support

immigration legal defense and office of public defender fiscal year 2022-2023. item 7 is appropriation of approximately $1 million to state settlement funds and item 8 is amending ordinance no. 162-22 (salary ordinance fiscal years 2022-2023 and 2023-2024) to reflect the addition of two positions (1.00 ftes) in the office of the public defender to support immigration legal defense in fiscal year (fy) 2022-2023. [providing instructions for public comment] madam chair. >> thank you. today we have our public defender here and i really appreciate you being here today with us and the floor is yours. thank you. >> thank you. good morning chair chan, supervisor

safai and supervisor mandelman. i'm san francisco elected public defender. i'll keep my remarks very brief today. i want to thank mayor breed for sponsoring the items before you today related to this unprecedented attorney fee award that our office received after our immigration unit historic win against ice. i like to the mayor and controller office working with my team to prepare these items to the two ordinances before you for introduction and to the bla for their report. proud to introduce fran (indiscernible) immigration unit presenting on the item today on behalf of our office. >> morning, thank you to the budget committee members. my name is francisco (indiscernible) the manager of immigration unit at the public defender's office. we have a short presentation around these two

items. most importantly, these funds were recovered by the public defender in litigation. they supplement the general fund with outside sources. they are in our account now, but we are unable to use the money without your authorization, which is why we are here today. so, our unit launched in may of 2017 is one of the first public defender offices in the country to build a deportation defense unit. the impetus is to move towards building the right appointed counsel in removal proceedings. a person can be detained facing deportation and immigration court and not have a lawyer to fight their case, and after 2016 our city stepped up. supervisor safai, you were part of this and we doubled our funding for immigration legal

services and we took a step forward towards remedying this injustice. currently, our unit consist of 8 attorneys and 5 support staff. we are now the largest immigration defense unit housed at a public defender office in california, and west of new york and since this time other public defender offices have expanded their immigration legal services, including contra costa,b cook county illinois, atlanta george georgia and many others we san francisco and you have lead the impetus to have this happen. we have a universal representation model which means we don't spepd a lot of time screening cases, we go into immigration court and offer representation to who ever wants a lawyer. we work with immigration court

and our non profit partners to improve the quality of representation and have a client focus representation and (indiscernible) there are some challenges. detention facilities are in remote locations, and many of our detained hearings are in over video. the legal landscape has been worsening, especially during the trump administration, but it seems like every day there's new challenges to face. we constantly evaluate our unit, and in late 2019 a student fram the goldman school of public policy did evaluation. we found that of the approximate 207 immigrants released from custody and reunited with their family in a 1.5 year period. immigrants are 5 times more likely to win cases with representation then without. we have been able to reduce the

bond amount. importantly more then 50 percent of clients lived in the united states for more then a decade, and more then 50 percent of the clients have u.s. citizen spouse or child. the pandemic like everything changed our practice. immigration hearings came to slowed down significantly virtually to a halt, and our clients were trapped in incredibly unsafe conditions. we knew that because immigration judges were unable to have authority to release someone on the basis of a health risk, they are judges of limited jurisdiction that we needed to look to file a lawsuit, our public defender authorized us to file a class action lawsuit for people trapped in these unsafe facilities. this was personally one of the hardest times of my career and

i think one of the most successful times. i never worked harder. we were able to secure a temporary restraining order where the northern district judge ordered a bail hearing and bail schedules. we filed 238 bail applications and spent 4363 attorney hours. that does not include criminal defense attorneys that stepped up during this litigation that also helped file bail applications. we cocounseled with the aclu of northern california, sorn california, lawyer committee for civil rights, (indiscernible) and we were awarded a million dollar attorney fee award for this action. not only did we depopulate the detention facilities, we also won vital health and safety protections for people trapped inside and

there is still strong action and resistance to these detention facilities as we speak. our ordinance, what we like to do with this money is to create a litigation attorney, and a paralegal, and the litigation appeals attorney, just to understand there are no plea bargains in immigration court. virtually all the cases go to trial. immigration courts remain somewhat politicized. some judges grant 90 percent of the cases, others deny 90 percent of the cases so the ability to appeal is crucial. our defense attorneys are tied up in appeals and by creating litigation position we already have one, but creating another those appeals can be handled by litigation attorneys. in addition our litigation attorneys can file habeas lawsuits. just yesterday, district twourt judge

oric ordered a bond hearing by the litigation attorney jenna buyer. the paralegals typically the bar association recommends 4 to 1 ratio, some recommended 2 to 1. our unit now has 8 to 1 ratio of attorney to paralegal. paralegal play vital support in helping our clients succeed and so that's why we are here to essentially expand upon the work that we are doing to bring a right to counsel and bring justice for immigrants to reunit families. and so, i guess in conclusion, i like to deeply thank the board of supervisors. you all have created this program. you funded it. we are leaders in immigrant rights throughout the country. we play a vital vital role in this and i just wanted to thank you and i know that if you have any

questions, the public defender and chief of staff is here to answer if you have any questions for me as well. thank you. >> thank you. we do have a bla report for this. >> yes. the two ordinances one appropriates little more then a million dollars in settlement award funds to the public defender immigration defense unit and the second ordinance amends the annual salary ordinance to add a attorney position and legal assistant or paralegal position to that unit. the $1.05 million fund these positions over approximately 2 year period. we show that on page 31 of our report, the positions probably would not be hired until closer to the end of fiscal year so we do recommend amending the file 238055 to-0055 to reduce the fte count for the

current fiscal year to 0.17 from 0.5. we consider approval to be a policy matter. >> thank you. i just want to ask the public defender team, do you accept the amendments from the bla? as proposed today? >> good morn ing. yes, we do accept the amendments. >> i think that similarly as i have already talked about and i just want to say, grant funding position, this is not a grant funding, it is from a settlement which i understand. however, in a similar fashion that we are now officially adding these full time positions, this particularly is only one-two part time position but a one full time money that we are receiving. what is the plan when the settlement money is going away? >> just want to make a correction, it looks like it is

two part time but it is two full time positions it is just the way budgeted for this fiscal year because the positions will come on-board until end orphfiscal year. that is what the bla was speaking to. we have to modify it for this fiscal year, but it is two full time positions. i want to correct-make the clarification. and then in terms of the plan moving forward, we'll do an assessment. we are always looking for additional grant funding. francisco did say earlier, the immigration program within our office is highly supported, not only through the city, but also in community, and so we'll have a assessment towards the tail end of fiscal year 24-25, and then proceed where we are with the budget and continue to speak to foundations and outside granting partners to fully fund our immigration program and other programs within the office as well. >> thank you. again,

i know i'm repeating my self, but i think we should start tracking these list of grant funding or settlements. the positions that now we are adding and approving that outside the current budget and general fund positions,er and should have a backup plan. i think with all city departments and yourself for the public defenders a well to really think moving forward as we facing the budget deficit how we maintain the critical role. i have no doubt department of public health needed the positions. they are critical to get through the pandemic, continue moving forward to prevent-especially based on lessens learned how we move forward. no doubt that this is also very critical in this time and seeing how critical it is for us to make sure that we-the fact you won the settlement speaks volume about why these roles are critical and that we need to have immigration defense within the functions of the public

[providing instructions for public comment] madam chair. >> thank you mr. clerk. today we have jasmine development specialist from office of community investment infrastructure here to make the presentation. thank you. >> thank you. good morning chair chan, committee memberstiatia and mandelman. my name is jazznen, development special est as office of community investment infrastructure ocii here to present on item 9 for the 100 percent affordable multifamily housing development known as hunter point ship yard black 52 and 54 in the hill top neighborhood hunter point shipyard of phase 1.

gap funding, and november 2022 awarded a bond allocation. we refer to the project as single project in realty it is two separate buildings on two non contiguous blocks. of the 112 unit to be built across both blocks, 110 units will be available to households earning debetween 30-50 percent am i and two unit set aside for manager units. 30 percent of the units are 3, 4 and 5 bedroom units. next slide, please. sorry, no--moving to financing and schedule. the development cost for the project is approximately $133 million, the resolution is up to $63 million and construction of the block 52 and 54

in any project in the last 20 years. why did you guys decide to put one five bedroom? how did that happen? i have seen 4 bedrooms, but never seen a 5 bedroom proposed. just curious. and who is the lucky family that will get the one 5 bedroom? >> i don't know the specifics but i believe the unit sizes were determined-in response to community needs but also i believe our commission- >> ocii? >> right. >> got it. very in usual. >> (indiscernible) >> so, is there anyone representing that was involved in the community process so we can get some feedback? >> good morning. housing program manager for ocii and jasmine is right, the

commissioners are interested in insuring we have larges beroom sizes. we initially had two and cost purposes had to bring it back down to one 5bedroom. also, we are including in some of the shipyard development replacement housing units to replace larger size units at al ice griffith and replaced all the units on site reflective of the needs of the house holds on site and also require to replace the exact bedroom count within the area, so this project-we scattered throughout some of our projects in the surrounding area, so we meet that requirement as well. but we did replace all the units on site at alice griffith as well. >> i understand, bedroom count is different from unit account rchl 2, 5 bedrooms could be two unit so curious how

the conversation went down and how you landed on that. but anyway, it is a done deal. i was just very curious because there are trade-offs. definitely we put a lot of energy and over the last few years at the board and number of piece of legislations to require 2 and 3 bedrooms, and i understand as a former staffer that worked at the housing authority and commissioner, very familiar with all of the public housing units, but the idea to create a 5 bedroom today just-one unit of that is just unusual. i was curious because it trade-off-you can break that into two units, so wanted to know what was going on. ultimately very excited. happy to-please add my name as cosponsor. i ink the this is a wonderful next phase of what's happening in that area, so appreciate staff and

the company's hard work in making this happen, jonathan rose companies, plural. thank you. >> thank you. vice chair mandelman. >> thanks. congratulations and please add me as cosponsor. >> thank you. let's go to public comment for this item.
