that program would absorb the clean power sf program customers. instead of just providing supply to the customers we would provide fully integrated services to all those in san francisco that we only provide to a portion in the heche program. under clean power sf the contract they have signed, that supply would be absorbed. the commitments we are making that the director was reviewing would continue. we would be in a position then of being able to expand our ability to invest in renewable resources. we would have a higher revenue stream coming in. we are note for profit. we would have more funds available to pay for these programs and to achieve these goals that we are trying to achieve. >> thank you. that is very helpful. if pg&e, if the route we go is not municipalization of pg&e, how do you identify the heche sites for renewable energy and which are clean power sf? i know there are a number of things happening in terms of bonds to build renewable sites under heche. how do you decide which program it goes under? both programs are growing. clean

preparation of progress reports and various program management and oversight of the entire program.est for proposal process in 2017 with hill international selected as the highest ranked proposer. this multiyear contract approval follows the direction that we had with the previous committee and the budget analyst office as we modify a bunch of these project management support services contracts with the capital. -- with the capital program. this allows us to align the approvals that come to the board and the amount that are approved with what the airport commission has approved. this is a more consistent approach in asking you to approve exactly what the airport commission has approved. i would be happy to answer any questions. >> supervisor fewer: colleagues, any questions? seeing none, let's pivot to the bla. >> yes, in a follow-up to what mid widener had to say. this is the fourth modification with the contract with hill international. the first contract, the original contract was $8.5 million increased to slightly less than $10 million. it's the first time it's come to the board

the department programs. policy. announcements from the mayor and announcements with regards to small business. discussion items. >> commissioner, before i get into my report, this is the time to do the official welcome for dominica donovan. so, it is -- we want to welcome her. and she comes to us via boston but worked in d.c. she spent time with the peace corp. worked with the department of education. really, i appreciate her government experience background that she is going to be able to apply to this position. do you want to say a couple of words? >> sorry. i didn't hear you. i will keep it brief. i am honoured to be here and be part of the office of small business. and to really help small business associates. thank you. >> thank you. welcome. >> so moving on to the report, we highlighted some of the information regarding the accessible business entrance program. i do want to say i am appreciative of the department and the inspection and overseeing the program. they have been a tremendous partner. and really col

host: you say each program. is this each program in every high school and vocational college or is this a state by state? guest: it would be each program at the local level. they have to also bring in stake holders including business and industry, including people, we heard students with disabilities earlier, all those populations that are making up the community as well to really weigh in on what the program needs to look like. most of our programs align to regional employment goals as well and people have regional strategies for those. so we want to make sure these programs are aligned as we move forward. host: is that tied to federal dollars, federal reimbursement, actually placing a student in a job at the end of one of these training programs? guest: no. so the one thing that's different about the perkins act -- host: that's the name of this new law? guest: we are using the term because it's been that in recent iterations. the new name is the 21st century improvement act, i believe. host: strengthening care

, like the snap program. can you just talk about snap right now, where that program stands today, in terms of funding over the course of the shutdown? >> john, i'm very, very concerned that this shutdown is going to really wreak havoc on families that are struggling to get by, especially those families that have disabled members, children, elders, which is the majority of those folks who receive food stamps. those appropriations, we might have enough appropriations to ride us through february, but i think beyond that, we're going to see the inability to provide that benefit. of course, through our leadership, nancy pelosi, we've put on the floor a bill to fund snap at a level of $23 billion in discretionary funding, and -- >> is that through the end of this fiscal year? >> yes. and it's 225 million above the 2018 levels. and it's one of the bills that has absolutely nothing to do with boardser security. this is one of the reasons we're concerned, that with whole shutdown thing is a cause for erecting this wal

the programs i've talked about predominantly, the assistance program, the voucher program, they rely on private market participation to be successful. when these private owners start to see funding from the government as being unreliable they will be increasingly less willing to participate in these programs. that is the kind of long-term damage that can really harm low-income renters. they want to guarantee as far as the regular income coming in. >> that is completely reasonable to know that the federal government will pay its bills and the longer the shutdown goes on, the more they are beginning to doubt that. >> from pennsylvania, we will hear from lee. lee, go ahead. >> i am retired from public housing. i am one of the more fortunate responding to 65 or 70. there is not all want to retire from the housing authority are physically fit after years of extremely hard work. i am very fortunate. this program that i am in is not organized yet. we need someone from the political arena to organize this. thank you, and i will wait on a response. >> thanks for the question. i'm not sure wha

program. we're able to demonstrate to everybody satisfaction the real success that was achieved with this type of position. they'll have to use it in more shelter sites and more homelessness sites going forward. very typical project. the next one, the district attorney independence investigation bureau. this is request by the board of supervisors. where they wanted us to look at investigation bureau. this is part of the district attorney's office that does investigation wherever there's officer-involved shooting. you can imagine, very high level of public concern, community concern when an incident like this happens. we did an analysis to look at how the case processing was achieve finally, this is the program front side that i was going to point out to you. we have program in my unit which is joint monitor ing for nonprofit agencies. the city spends hundreds of millions of dollars every year with community-based organizations. many health and social services in particular deliver that way. so

a lot of universities call the sports programs the front porch of the sports program. check out and put then you'll see the nursing school whatever it is that guess on in the english department. the academics. and that's an interesting theory, and -- but also become an article of faith but it's so many of these universities, the sports program does not give money back to the general fund. almost never gives money back to the general fund they blow up and they explode because no college president who is honest will tell you'll he really has control over his big-time sports program. how could he? the college president is making a hundred thousand a year the coach is making $8 million a year. money talks. real power is in the athletic programs but they're also very, very difficult to unwinds because you create this truck infrastructure, you build a stadium for 80,000 people, build a practice facility, you raise the money, you promise the people in your city, well, when 80,000 people come fill this stadium, they're going to stay in these hotels. they're going to buy these

whether to extend the program beyond the one-year trial program. the retail fish sales program -- pilot program was the result of several public meetings, including two port commission meetings in 2017, one in july, and one in september. the port commission supported a retail fish sales pilot program to expand commercial opportunities for fishers and to provide more customer experiences at the wharf. the role of the port in this pilot program was clarified to permit the fish sales but not regulate them. regulation is the responsibility of state and local officials, namely, the california fish and wildlife, california food and agriculture, san francisco public health, and san francisco environment. if the port were to become aware of any complaints or violations, the appropriate regulatory agency would be notified. the fish sold to retail customers is the same quality product as is sold to wholesalers, and the port is not aware of any problems in this area. all fish sales are recorded with california fish and wildlife in accordance with regulations.

it provides educational programs. and across the street, you have our mental health services, which used to be a funeral parlor. for the last 20 years, it's been providing mental health services for spanish-speaking families. but folks in the mission had the great pride of, which is st. luke's. if you wanted someone to find out about what programs are available in the mission, you knew somebody at st. luke's. it's still that way. one of my sons was born at st. luke's. you say, wait, what's going on here? to me, instead of making it part of the new facility, st. luke's lamp is going smaller and smaller and smaller. i mean, you put -- we have -- your foundation is on valencia street, 20th almost. nice place. you always see people stop in there. people stop to read, to pick up coffee. couldn't you have diabetes classes there in spanish? i don't know. i've never been in there. isn't there some way creatively we can think about providing these f.t.e.s and have -- a lot of the foundations in the mission would even help out,

program. i constantly hear from farmers about how inefficient the program operates due to the tnd use of paper-only applications. many farmers have had to deal with lost applications and other logistical inefficiencies, making the h-2-a program inconsistent and all too often an unreliable program for farmers. this amendment supported the administration's regulatory task force reform efforts to modernize that program with technological advancements that would make the program more user-friendly. it demonstrated an important step to providing relief for armers facing a broken bureaucracy voice when -- bureaucratic voice when trying to access a reliable work force. madam speaker, these are just two of the many reasons i am not supporting bill before us. but there are other issues that must be pointed out. like the house bill made a major investment in new broadband pilot program for rural america, by adding an additional 550 million in infrastructure for the unserved and underserved. this bill un

investment company program, also known as the sbic program. while currently running on a zero cost subsidy to the american taxpayer, the sbic program increases access to long-term capital through a private equity financing model. sbic's are privately owned but licensed and regulated by the s.b.a. the investing in main street act of 2019 provides a simple and commonsense solution to a limitation that is holding back growth within the sbic program. currently financial institutions and savings associations are prohibited from investing more than 5% of capital or surplus in sbic. in order to assist small businesses as they seek capital, h.r. 116 increases the 5% limitation to 15%, subject to the approval of the financial institution's regulator. in the 115th congress an identical bill was favorably reported out of the small business committee unanimously. and passed on the house floor by a voice vote. i want to thank the gentlelady from california, ms. chu, and the gentleman from south carolina, mr. norman, for continuing their work on this legisl

i have seen the programs, the programs under the jurisdiction of the committee. it supports not only utterly disabled people but families, parents die, child. you receive social security benefits and medicare. jurisdiction. health, foster care, unemployment benefits, under the distinction of that committee. we just passed a tax bill that no zero hearing where we gave the largest benefit to the top one or 2% of the population at the expense of the rest of our country. we need to revisit that as well. i am certainly wanting to serve on the committee, i'm very eager to geter in there. to revisit theta textile and mae sure that we preserve the social safety net, the rubric that has been put in place since the new deal, the great society and the affordable care act to preserve that. >> back to new jersey, sheila is a republican from bridgeville park. good morning. >> i would just like to take a. comment. none of this is the president believesth that he has all the power.e it's only normalized by congress seeping into action. they would do the job that they legislate,

this is the background of the program.he deal was brokered as a mitigation to the bay view community as a result of expanding our plan back in the '70s after the clean water act passed. this is the criteria to enter the program. you do need to be from the bay view community as is indicated by the 94124 area code. these are the components of the internship program. it's quite a bit. most is straightforward except for the learning assessment. i develop learning skills assessment for each station at the plant with the help of site supervisors. we addfide -- identified the knowledge, skills and abilities one would need to run the station effectively. this say copy of the assessments and we defined what look goods looks like and what meets standards and exceeds standards. this provides extreme clarities for the managers and participants of the program what they're supposed to learn. we also developed answer keys so we had consistency in the testing results and we also used diagrams and maps and pictures and s.o.p.s and many oth

program,nap supplemental nutrition assistance program which covers 38 million americans, seniors, children, puts food on the table, the usda and the states have worked really hard to put in place where they pay february benefits early. that averted disaster right now. it has a consequence that people who are trying to put foot on the table with the help of snap often end up not being able to stretch it a whole month and now they have to stretch it six weeks or so at least until march payments. they averted a disaster this time but if we go far enough into february, the states will not be organized for march payments and we will have a major disaster. host: how many americans are on snap and how much does it cost the federal government per month? guest: it's about 38 million people who don't have the monthly cost which is a norm a of americans that depend on it in their lives at one point or another between jobs or when they are working and their wages are not enough. host: is it the largest social welfare program in the federal government? guest: health care programs are bigger so medicare

under this program, d.h.s. work with the owners and operators of our nation's highest risk chemical facilities to ensure they have adequate security measures in place. unless congress acts expeditiously, authority to regulate these high-risk facilities will expire in a matter of days. we cannot let this happen. the risk of a terrorist attack n a chemical facility is not conjecture. it is creditable threat echoed by every homeland security secretary since 2005. federal and state law enforcement officers have uncovered multiple plots aimed at chemical facilities, including after the 9/11 attacks, which it came to light that the hijackers had also scouted chemical plants. national security experts from former homeland security secretary michael chertoff to president obama have expressed concern that a terrorist could seek to penetrate a chemical facility to carry out a weapon of -- a weapons of mass estruction attack. cfats partners with chemical facilities to combat this threat. the program enjoys support across

determines that program rates are sufficient to recover program costs, and rates for the next phase are projected to be at or below pg anti- rates. you will recall this year when we enrolled commercial accounts where we were able to deliver a 2% savings on enrolled customers ' generation accounts. clean power s.f. rates are set consistent with the charter, and with other s.f. p.u.c. ratesetting policies, including the right insurance policy. consistent with those policies, they presented this right proposal to the fairness board last friday. the board voted unanimously to recommend proposal be adopted. so we have brought this right -- rate action to you today because the exit fee that is charged by customers is projected to increase for many of our customers in calendar year 2019. in addition, pg anti- generation rates are forecasted to decrease for all customers. unless action is taken on rates, our customers will be paying more on their electricity bills than if they were to take generation supply from pg anti-. the next two slides illustrate the expected change in rates in 2019. the

once the supreme court rules, if they say that the program can be terminated, that's the end of the program if there isn't legislation. >> by the way, i should note on migration policy institute website, plenty ofou tools thate use on the "washington journal" to talk about numbers when it comes to immigration issue. here's the deferred action for childhood arrivals data tool breaking down daca recipients by state. our last caller was from pennsylvania. the number ofyour daca recipienn pennsylvania, about 4,870. the migration policy institute estimates that those meeting the criteria is about 14,000 in the state. so the participation rate in pennsylvania, 35%. you can click around the various states and other information tools on the website, migration policy.org. >> caller: my question is, why is there any discussion about illegal immigrants when we got veterans homeless that are starving on the streets that fought for our freedoms? >> randy capps? >> i think we need to have both conversations. i think at the moment there are 11 to 12 million unauthorized immigrants in the country. there's

but the kind of programs they're cuts are war-fighting programs. these are lower priority programs. they're not pulling it off overhead and infrastructure. the worst thing would be if dod put some sort of wedge into the future budgets for savings to be identified in the future because those almost never are found and it just creates turbulence and waste. and the final thing is the observation that the president proposes, this year will probably be rockier than most because you have a democratic congress, the democrats have been moving to the left and they particularly question certain programs that the administration has proposed, the nuclear modernization program, and then in the background you have the budget control act which if the congress and the administration can't come to an agreement, it will entail some very significant cuts. so with that -- >> thank you. andrew, your turn. >> i'm going to align myself on team kat. i'm going to focus my remarks it is much more about the how than the how much. and i say that because i think the last two years have demonstrated that you can

so i went there, and i thought this is a great program. they're taking their kids and introducing them to skating. if i ever have the opportunity to do so in san francisco, if they ever had a rink, i would love to do the same type of program. so years later, when yerba buena guards was built, they asked me to -- yerba buena gardens was built, they asked me to come out and announce the program. so since then, we've served 10,000 students. we invite a different school in every month on the first tuesday, and so they're introduced to skating, they're given lessons. they get a bag lunch, and they get a voucher to come back and visit the ice rink whenever they want to. so it's our intention to introduce them to physical activity. it's not just skating, but it's so special for me to see how they react to the accomplishment of physicality. and it gets them knowing that they can do something physical because everybody gets better with skating. from the beginning of the session to the end of the session, if they're holding onto the rail, they're of

space program. it was a bunch of one off political things. the author skaization to spend y came authorizing to do various things that were politically astute and they thought would pay off for propaganda reasons. which is why they never had weather or communication satellites until much later. now that -- i don't want to dismiss the soviet engineers. they were brilliant and had an incredible team and nimble and did great work and they did amazing stuff with limited resources they had on hand. it wasn't the program like we had. by 1964, that strategy wasn't starting to work because the united states had been building up so much material, so much technology, we had -- particularly the first test of the saturn rocket bigger than their big rocket and they got nervous and so the other thing i realized now president kennedy is out of the way and president johnson wasn't offering to cooperate on going to the moon. going to the moon for him was a tribute to the dead president kennedy and we were going to d

it's six different programs within those programs, it's many projects. little projects, big projects, all kinds of stuff. i don't know how the voter could have known knowing what they'll get. it's also some of the -- because there's so little and they weren't completely understood when we voted for them. there's decisions being made at the client level about what to do. should we do this one or that one. i think that's not fair to the voters. certainly not something joe or the fire department or mayor's office air department of public health can change. it's something i find very difficult to do. the other thing i want to point out, joe works for the department find publi of public. he's an uber project manager -- >> i thought you were going to say driver. [laughter] >> he's working on behalf of the client department. one of the things i think the question of do the client department feel like they're getting the services that they expected. i do want chief river rivera to comment on that. beyond that, i think it's very hard to go back to the voters, par

that program. another flexibility that west virginia has taken advantage of is our health phone flexibility. this gives an opportunity for you to have that health cone that integrates the physical and behavioral health. and it gibbs a team approach to that individual, follows up and makes sure they are following up with appointments. we have two health homes in west virginia. first was bob holier hepatitis c health home and we also due to different factors lead the nation in hepatitis as well. and so, we went from actually a 25% screen rate to 100% screen rate for hepatitis for individuals participating in health homes. this quick estimates this was the bob holier health home and we started out in a pilot area. so we had a 6 county pilot and compared it to 56 county covert pilot in another area of west virginia to see the dramatic results of what it took to get that team approach in health homes. here's another statistic with our health home this shows you compared to the cohorts the decrees in hos

it's a bit more complicated but if you ask me to judge this program the. educational program as a journalist i would say that i found it rather unbalanced. not biased i think. any citizen not not only journalists not only t.v. presenters who have the right to criticise those in power politicians businessman's people. but if you enter into a comparison between states and sees. and think is to give to provide the two sides of the story and my impression is that this t.v. program is focusing only on one side of the story well that's one of them from a lot of pick up on i haven't seen the program myself although i have a to understanding of some of the things mentioned in the idea of. informing children which countries are good and which are not quite dangerous to me surely that's a matter of opinion it's not something you can establish is a fact and worrying that telling children this which could really influence them for a long life. it's not only about children. i don't agree with that narrative about an information war between russia and western europe you

[applause] three years ago we began to offer apprenticeship programs. the concept is not hard to understand. most of our inmates are inmates for life. they will re-enter society and when they do we want them to be successful. those who can't find a job often find their way back to crime and then back to prison. from a public safety perspective training our inmates is the right thing to do. but there is really more to it than that. as i said earlier, there is dignity and work and there is also beauty and grace. talk with someone who by their own actions hit rock bottom but decided to turn their life around. watch their face light up when they tell you about the person who offered them a helping hand, a family member, a friend or a stranger. there are few things as powerful as the joy of someone who got a second chance and found their purpose. if you talk to michael willoughby or steve story you will see it. both of them completed an apprenticeship program in person michael prepared to be a computer programmer, steve prepared for a career in welding both

by state statute, the program, the c.c.a. programs, clean power s.f. program is an opt out program. when we are enrolling customers into the program, we provide two notices under state law describing the terms and conditions of the program to our electricity customers over a 60 day period prior to actual enrolment, and then two more notices after they've been enrolled. the state law authorizing c.c.a. also requires a california p.u.c. to ensure that no unavoidable costs that were encouraged by pg nd to serve customers of a c.c.a. program will be shifted to nonparticipating customers. this is a policy that we support that no one should be harmed in the ability of a jurisdiction to pull customers into their program. the p.u.c. has developed and implemented a california -- the california p.u.c. has developed and implemented an exit fee that appears on customer monthly bills on an ongoing basis to recover these costs for pg and e. that exit fee will appear on c.c.a. customer bills until the commitments that they made to serve those customers have been terminated or completed. that means

to revise the subsidy program for purchasing programs under covered california.here will be a number of things we still need to learn about terms of details and it will be an issue discussed and worked through over the next many months as we come to the governor's may budget revision and we'll be actively working through that and watching that as the discussion goes and report back to the commission. >> thank you. commissioner chow. >> i wanted clarification because what i learned is it the governor's office has to ask for permission from the federal government in order to do this. but i'm not clear they're going to have the same policy in terms of individual mandate. do you think it will be the same? >> i don't think it will be identical. on the question of whether we need cms approval for the mandate. >> i don't have a clear answer on that. that might very well be the case but i can follow-up with you. i don't think it will be the identical program but would be the same concept you would have that was when the affordable care act was put into place it was one o

>> the transit program is part of the program overall. so that would stay in place. but the stipend right now, is part of our recommendation, that it would end in that -- >> only the stipend would eliminate in five years? >> yes. if you look at the screen right now, the transit program as a whole, our vision is to have that all the way through. that's what our travel demand and financial forecast models include. to give people the option and give them the reduced rate whenever possible if they qualify. and that would be so they take a.c. transit, muni and new ferry service and on-island shuttle, no payment required. >> supervisor fewer: does this take into account that we just approved as a state fare rate hikes on tolls for the bay bridge? does this take into account the added money that i think we can raise the toll by $3, is it, on the bay bridge? >> yes. region regional measure 3 was passed by votersle it's under legal challenge. that's separate and apart from the toll here. we've discounted the trip coming through the toll plaza to the island. that's been a 50%

and an article in the night the harold mentioned the legacy business program.they cover specs in castro, both legacy businesses, and victoria bakery, which is not a legacy business, but they did mention the program in the article. the business program was also mentioned in an article about a threatened cafÉ in vancouver. the legacy businesses were featured in articles about the bayview, formerly called but your town and city wide. new additions to the registry were full just featured in an article, and they relit their neon sign and elbow room was to close at the end of the year. the office of small business to 13 tweets about the legacy business program between april and september. three shown here, four more in april and may. two in june, and a couple in august, including one with a picture of delicious dessert from the valley bakery, there were two tweets in september. >> major upcoming activities for october and beyond include working with ozaukee creative group on marketing and branding for the legacy business program, including brand identity, collateral,

programs staff. we went through moving, marriages, births, deaths, aging and all the mundane stuff together. we even found out that we had a celebrity brand moniker. it was remar. like brangelina. we joked truthfully that we were getting conspicuously uncoupled. that's really what it felt like. like many couple, we also had a first time we met story. it involved me waiting for my job interview reading a book. that's actually tamar's story. i've never told mine. so this is a good moment to share it with you. i first met tamar when i was interviewing for the school education program din eight or position. i came from environmental education where fleece and non conformity proliferate. from the start, tamar mystified me. she did. she was what i expected. i wondered who is this polished and poised woman who had professional excellence. and how and why did she find herself in a job teaching kids about nature? and what makes her tick? what is her story. she really have a dog that looks like a sloth like yo

presentation an update on the accessible business entrance program and grant program.iscussion item. presenters from the office of small business. >> commissioners, you do have a powerpoint. >> we do indeed. >> all right. good evening, commissioners. i am the cystic project manager and business case manager for the office of small business. i am here to present an update on the acceptable business entrance program. i will go over a snapshot of compliance and outreach. osb's involvement and the small business support services that we offer. i manage the efforts at our office through the direction of the director. all right. the accessible business entrance program, which is very timely, because supervisor tang authored it, it went into effect may 22 nd, 2016, the ordinance number 51-16, requires property owners of buildings that have places of public accommodation to make all primary entrances accessible to people with disabilities. the program applies to places of public accommodation per title iii of the americans americans with disabilities act or the a.d.a. this inc
