center and the building on turk street but we are looking at preliminary recommendation to issue an rfp that could respond to the needs of the nonprofits? a timely fashion. there are 3 buckets we're looking at in terms of support there is immediate technical assistance both for pro bono and real estate existence for the discontinued lease. we will look at possible bridge grants and extend their lease or found temporary space. we're looking at space sharing models and nonprofits can share space so that intermediatey would work with the work force development to see where a nonprofit can relocate to >> supervisor wiener. >> so this started out at the 2.5 million and the committee added 2 million for arts so the other 2 and a half million is that through the chair to supervisor kim is that money eligible for basically any nonprofit for the subject matter. >> supervisor wiener president chiu had something to add. >> i hope the mayor's office will be here soon but the general funds would be subject to a competitive rfp process that will be managed through his office it will be managed that w

so, within the next few months, you will see an rfp go out for a retail location on the northern waterfront near the cruise terminal, near fisherman's wharf for an lbe firm. (applause) >> it's a great opportunity. one person can go for it or two or three, but the site is big enough to have at least three different groups in the site. so, this is just a major accomplishment, and thank you, monique. (applause) >> you will also see an rfp for a parking operator. and with that rfp, it will not be one, but three parking lots in the northern waterfront that will create lots of great revenue for the port. and along with that -- whoever responds to it has to have an lbe partner or otherwise they will be be qualified to participate and operate in though lots. andrew so, that's another accomplishment staff has come up. with. (applause) ~ >> >> under rene's leadership we're working with all minorities, asian, african-american, you name it, we are hosting events quarterly to make sure we are communicating, that they know what's going on at the port and how we can help them do business with the port in

defers to the reported ongoing efforts of the city's department of building inspection to complete an issue rfp for consultant services to aid in implementation on the business process re-engineering recommendations. and for recommendation 5.1, the board of supervisors reports that it will not implement that recommendation for the reasons as follows. the recommendation is not within the scope of the board's responsibilities and the board defers to the reported ongoing efforts of the city's department building inspection to complete and issue rfp for consultant services to aid in the implementation of the business process, re-engineering recommendations, and that the board of supervisors urges the mayor to cause the implementation of accepted findings and the recommendations through his department heads and through the development of the annual budget. on that motion. >> so moved. >> all right. without objection, that motion is adopted. [gavel] >> are there any other items before beforehand the committee? >> there is no further business. >> all right. with that, the meeting is adjourned. [gavel]

lafco can really push the envelope in developing an rfp that will face the compliment crisis and we need to you keep this in-house. >>supervisor john avalos: thank you. >> hello commissioners. chad hose skin. we didn't hear too much about the cleanpowersf program. i was at the january 14th puc hearing and i strongly urge you to checkout the power enterprise budget information presented. a memo was available which i believe was the 14-15 two year planning cycle and indicated i think in one sentence that no work would be done on cleanpowersf by power enterprise. the focus seems to be on new high revenue customers and not on engagement. definitely a lot of information in those documents in terms of what the puc is thinking going forward and i don't think it do have dove tails what the lafco board is expecting. in-house scheduling is a comment that someone made earlier is something we heard the puc staff say they can do. and as mr. freed indicated that could actually not only not add to, but maybe even alleviate some of the funding issues that the puc is having. going to the rfp, we did as a

one of the reasons we are doing an rfp is for wage works and in particular our current vendor is the complaints that we've had from members that the administration is not as easy. so we are hoping through this rfp process that we can get an application going for our vendors to take advantage of that pretax benefit. >> this this is a great report. very helpful. >> so on page 23, out of curiosity you have retirees at age between 35-44. >> these are most likely disability retirees. >> okay. i just want to know what those are. they are too young to be retired. >> thank you commissioner fraser for calling out the fsa. >> thank you. >> any other comment? any public comment? no public comment. item no. 11? >> city clerk: item 11, action item approval of the hhs branding. rosemary postantino. >> now that we have stephanie from our program, we are here to talk about banding the city wellness program. the purpose of having a communication program around wellness is, we have a slide deck for this. we'll keep going. we need a communication program to build around us. even just talking about some

so you see in the top line it egging messenger through the normal path of an rfp process. this plaza is being identified for the program and the rfp will allow for robust plaza plans for stewards to be submitted and ongoing community outreach and once the steward is identified the city will give a permit that will be presented to the board of supervisors for approval and implementation of the agreement could happen. now let's look at the parallel plaza city process dramatized below the line. this process is essentially parallel to the city process but slightly different because the city is acting in hits regulatory process with a permit here. in a similar way the street plazas will have an open permit process where the stewards can submit their permit we have it right away right now as a thirty paying day period. there is ongoing outreach and the permit he would be identified and work with the city to be presented to the board of supervisors and for adaptation. all plazas have a term of 5 years or less if the strurd is having subsequent improvement. for example, this proce

if a law is enacted as proposed, every person who bids on an rfp everybody is considered a lobbyist. this is competition forbidding citywide. currently an individual qualifies as a lobbyist is promised $3,000 or more. i think the language in the ordinance should be clarified to clearly indicate that you are talking about contract lobbyist in house employee lobbyist. in addition i think each lobby should have a financial threshold. most local jurisdictions impose some kind of financial threshold or hours threshold; long beach, los angeles, san jose. i don't think you want to report on issues of small matters. >>president david chiu: thank you very much. can i ask you to submit your comments to us. >> we advocate reasonable regulations and procedures. >> okay. thank you very much. we look forward to those comments. is there any additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> what i would like to ask if we can continue this item to march 13th. >>supervisor london breed: before we do, i want to get some clarification on what this means for non-profit organizations? >

stake in the community and the potential support they've submit plaza plans and it will go through an rfp process or similar process. all plaza needs board of supervisors approval and adaptation. i'd like to he reiterate that the plazas program we're describing a program framework optional. the plazas needs to be adapted on a plaza by plaza case. the program will strife to network the effort of the citywide plaza stewards by creating opportunity for the stewards to communicate with each other and collaborate and share best practices and it will feinstein sure that the plazas stewards are benefiting and the outcomes are being achieved. the third is directing the revenue. revenue generated by a steward in one plaza could only support operations of that plaza. that's at the fundamental approach. it is for the privatization of public space by guiding the money back into the operation of that plaza. that's called up clearly in the legislation and will be between the city and the profound stewards. any revenues generated by the operational costs that are beyond will be directed back to the prog

offered to assist and well managed implementation program and update of the bpr and rather than issuing an rfp for the outside consultant to do this work, once the director has developed his plan and he will brief the commissioner on the details and thanks for the direct for following up on the administration, gsa and implementing immediately the specific policies and procedural changes to insure that any dbi errors are oversight and tied to the 125 incident prevent us again in the future and congratulations to chief, building inspector, for an comments to mctear and ross and the chronicle of this sunday on the five alarm fire that destroyed and nearly completed the apartment building at 4th street and china basin, the fire department is investigating into the cause of this fire and it is still under way, the director has appointed deputy director dan as part of the chair of the working group that will generate effective recommendations on ways to address the failed elevators and sro buildings, as you know, many elderly and those who are limited mobility leave in these buildings and so when it

study those further and report back to the commission at our pleasure before we go ahead and issue an rfp and have a developer on where had we ask our developers to accountability the feasibility in regard to port revenue. >> so wire saying above the floor retail parking is not included. >> that's correct. >> and then the guidance would the mo u not include any possible combination so since we have someone from the mayor's office of housing can they not speak to this and the solicitation. i'm chime in arrest as - if you could also address the process questions i think ricky did a good job but if you get speak to where the mayor's office of housing fits in the process that comes next how you develop the rfps and how this fits in general to the what the office is doing with affordable housing throughout the city. this is one piece of the puzzle >> i'm the director of the mayor's office of housing community development. i can't say how we're so excited since you guys will hopefully paragraph the rfp. it's important to the community and, of course, to the mayor as well as to the dire need. in

you've been one -- the two women who wanted to be here today are rehearsing for an rfp that you have been working with them on and they hope to get it. [laughter] >> i know, huh? i said rfp process, i did say a process. >> yes, you did say a process. >> and george and karen and donna, they really wanted to, and they probably will share with you their warm feelings for your hands on work that you have given them, the patience you have give them, how you taught them how to access your department and work with the developers. they came in shy and afraid, but you guided them straight through the process and i want to thank you for that, george. (applause) >> george, i'm presenting this award to you as a san francisco public employee, lbe advocate of the year. thank you so much. >> thank you. (applause) >> good morning, everyone. thank you. this is quite an honor. thank you, zula, maria, city administrator. you know, tiffany bowie is the director and this is really an honor for the agency because as we transition into the city, we're committed to making sure those opportunities are not on

and historically, the port retail sites, that have come up for an rfp, have required large capitol injection to bring them to a habitable condition and that is a hurtle for most of our lbes. and the port is fortunate to have a retail site that has been renovated and here it is, it is the pier 33 and a half. and it is in a condition that would not require a large capitol injection. to assist the port in helping to identify candidates for this rfp, the port is proposing to out reach to cities community based organization, or cbos, and that are in the business of assisting small businesses to start and grow. the port is proposing a pilot program that would distribute this rfp on a targeted basis through the cbos. the port will require that the respondents to this retail opportunity be clients of within of the city's cbos and continue to reach ongoing technical assistance. the cbo, will not have any obligations for the lease other than providing the ongoing technical assistance to their client. the port desires a retail use that serves the water front visitor and neighbor and local workers, loca

>> do you have an estimate of the cost of the rfp? >> to prepare it? >> no, for the actual -- if you enter into contract. >> no, i don't have an actual -- our budget was limited but i don't have until we see the proposal. >> okay. the source of funding would be -- >> no memo from sfpuc, [speaker not understood] is the chair of that. >> thank you. i think you answered the one question i had, which is the rfp you said will be or any contract or revenues for that would be taken into account whether or not the 19 million is available. you talked about updating the financial projections [speaker not understood] was the issue there. >> yes. >> that is part of the consideration? >> yes. >> what about assumptions as to the availability of discount energy from hetchy? >> that we will ask them to take a look at. i don't think that we are discounting that. we would -- we are based on the slide that was shown today, i think what we're looking at is the 11.5 cents which is a net -- you don't lose any money selling hetch hetchy power to cca customer, but you don't ma

this week governor kwau mow was launching an rfp to return college programs in new york state.lifornia. >> say what cuomo is doing. >> on monday morning, they'll return the college programs from 20 years ago. that is something we've only had private funding backing that. it needs to be a public/private partnership. >> what struck me is he said if you look at the data and you educate people while they're incarcerated, they have less recidivism. let's do that rather than politicking. anyone who has ended up in prison, we give up on them forever. when we come back, we have fox news channel's bill o'reilly. he has ssthe president. it involves jay z. he was talking to valerie jarrett. it's the kind of thing we think you might want to hear.

lot of technical work required in order for nonprofits to actually quality whether they submit an r f x or rfp and the process we went through the extensive process that goes into what folks need to do to quality. what i've seen and this is one of the most frustrating most of the organizations that receive funding are the same organizations with the capacity to continually apply for those funds and they get awarded. so their organizations that get left out. i know you mention technical avoidance you and i both know as much technical assistance as you provide some of the organizations do have the capacity to implement the requirements of the money that they've received from the city. so what i'm looking at here and i've looked at the part of the broad spectrum of organizations that received it in the past there may be a board contingent of companies by not a board funding that the museum got a planning grant they got $400,000 that's a huge difference. i know that we had a lot of challenges the redevelopment agency came in and expected them to be a organization they were not and they made is dif

here's the rfp and this is what's going on so they have an opportunity to comment on the issues so the developer coming in knows the various issues to address. that's one major milestone to make sure that everybody agrees on the development and developer coming in so that developer knows what their paying. once that is done then the selection of the developer the housing office will go through that and we'll be working with them to make that happen. normally before a developer is selected maybe 234r tolerated the rfp the community will know the issues and say who is the best group to do this project. that is where the community is empowered. the housing office will tell you which developer we'll come back to you to apprise you what developer we recommended and what the next step will be and once a developer comes on board we'll work through the process they've design it and the promise will look at different options and if parking is underground or above ground we'll review a at the same time we'll see whether the parking garage is visible or not. at this point we'll come back to the c
