the budgets for some agencies, for example, the department of health and department of family services, have been cut too much. services and programs suffer. there are other concerns associated with overcutting. for example, in the department of corrections and state fair, the 1920 budget gives us an opportunity to remedy this situation and j.c. has begun that important work. to j.c. members, i appreciate your work and look forward to resolving our differences in my favor. that actually wasn't in there but that's what i'm thinking.

of our highest, our most at risk individuals. some departments include the department of public health, the department of homeless and support services, the department of ageing and adult services, the san francisco police department, and the b.a.r.t. police. it's a bicycfocused effort by agencies to collaboratively monitor and treat individuals struggling with mental health issues. that will provide a full wraparound services with a goal of getting stablized happy, healthy and housed for the long run. getting these individuals stablized and housed is a compassionate approach that we need to help them, and many residents see this on the streets every day. these are legislative, progr programmatic reforms that we need. i want to thank senator weiner for his help, george gascon, barbara garcia, who's been a tireless advocate for these efforts, and i want to thank the department of ageing and adult services, san francisco police department and the b.a.r.t. police, and the folks who are working with us on this multiagency approach, and i also want to thank, along with my colleagues here today, supervisor safai, i want to thank mayor ed l

those departments including the department of public health, the department of homelessness and supported services, the department of aging and adult services. san francisco police department, and bart police. it's a focused effort by five agencies to identify and treat and monitor our city's highest risk individuals who are struggling with mental health issues. this wraparound approach will provide a full complement of services with a goal of getting individuals stabilized, healthy, and housed for the long term. this pilot has already begun moving forward a few months ago and something i worked on with mayor lee as supervisor, and during my time as acting mayor. this legislation will simply add structure, accountability, and metrics to the program. so we can ensure it's actually working for the people it's intended to help. we also know that there are serious limitations to scaling this impact without changes to our state conservatorship laws. senate bill 1045, authored by senator scott weiner and henry stern will expand the definition of what it means to be gravely disabled, providing a

so i am the sponsor of this and we've got rhea bailey from the department of public health that will be speaking and claudia gorham from the department of real estate. claudia, are you here -- there you are. ok. got it. so, please, rhea, the floor is yours. good morning. >> good morning. thank you, supervisors. and thank you for your support, chair cohen. we are here today ask for your approval on our lease for our community wellness programme space at the hunters view hope s.f. site. i will speak a little bit about our actual programme, our health and wellness programme that -- which will reside inside of this community wellness programme space. we are at the core of our works, we are part of the hope s.f.s four-prong strategy to improve the living conditions as well as the quality of life of the residents who are residing in the hope s.f. public housing communities and our approach in terms of the department of public health and d.p.h. is to really focus on the health and well-being of those individuals, the mental, emotional, physical, and even spiritual well-being. and so we do th

of public health, department of ageing, department of public services, appointees to overseeing commissions who come from nonprofits that also have contracts in that department. and the city benefits because they share their expertise through that commission, through that public service. however, their service does sometimes require them to request recusal, particularly when they are working with an organization with those contracts, and those contracts come up for a vote. and this is not just a once a year thing. many organizations have multiple year contracts that cover each program or service. i believe for example an organization like catholic city charities have 60 existing city contracts. maybe 40 with the department of health, and the only time that person recuses themselves when that organization comes up, but they're going to recuse themselves over and over. that would subject them to this enhanced and ongoing scrutiny and report filing to the ethics commission specifically because of the very thing that they were

do you believe that the policy staff at the department of health and human services should be responsible for writing all department policy? we don't have a single policy staff and we have policy experts throughout the 300 programs of the department. >> but they are policy staff within the department? >> we have individuals. i don't know that they're generally even called policy staff. it's not a categorization that i'm familiar with within the department. we have staff, career and political professionals. >> well, thank you. i ask because the ranking member of the house oversight and government reform committee elija cummings announced on monday that an hhs whistle-blower has delivered evidence that the original author was not someone within the agency, but a representative from the alliance defending freedom and extremist religious group that the southern poverty law center has designated as a hate group. according to the whistle-blower's documents on january 11th, hhs received a draft letter from adf to hate group. that same day the department's -- the deputy's hhs secretaries chief of

that will entail a lot of back and forth with particularly the california department of public health which has oversight of the navy's radiological programs. that record of decision will determine the nature and extent of the additional radiological field work that is required to close out site 12. and then the final solid waste disposal area, the bulk of expense that the navy will have as well as physical excavation is the solid waste disposal at west side, which is on the right-hand side of the photograph of site 12 there. that work is anticipated to remobilize at the end of this calendar year and continue into 2020. so the recommendation that i propose to take to the board next month would be to extend the lang contracts through 2022 rather than issuing a new rfp. and that continuity will be important in updating and maintaining our site management plan as additional remediation sites are closed and transferred to us. but, also, in reviewing and commenting on the navy's circla documents and site plan for site 12 -- work plan for site 12, there's been a lot of work with the departm
