grant budget. so there's a sort of right sizing happening here i think in light of that performance and we detail the budget on page 26 of our report recommend approval of item six and then item seven. this is an amendment a resolution approving an amendment to an existing 2if grant that was executed on time but there's an amendment required because the what's happening here is that there's $250,000 per year being added to one of the programs that the grant funds this is a program for essentially a workforce training program for undocumented youth. this was a board add back that made its way into this contract and that's now coming to the board. there are as noted by the department there was also a one time $70,000 grant from juvenile probation that will fund in this year a program funded by this grant for justice involved youth. the add back is not increasing the number of client served it's just adding richer services for them. we detailed the budget on page 30 of our report and we recommended ap

this honors victims of the attacks by providing a one-time grant to assist with security costs for the 9/11 memorial and museum in lower manhattan. the national september 11 memorial and museum occupies the former world trade center site. this serves as the principal tribute of remembrance and honor to the nearly 3,000 people killed in the terrorist attacks at the world trade center on september 11, 2001, and february 26, 1993. a prominent feature of the museum is an art installation with the quote, no day shall erase you from the memory of time. these words are much more than a quote. they are a solemn promise from each and every american that we will never forget and will not allow our future americans to forget the tragic events of 9/11. more than 23 years after these horrific attacks we still remember the innocent men, women and children who perished on that september morning. we know that time has not erased the scars both visible and invisible carried by the survivors, families of victim, and all who watched those horrific attacks unfold. representative lalota's legislation will

we are also actively pursuing additional competitive grants as they become available. however, with the continuing executive orders that we received in the past week from the office of management and budget to freezing and freezing you know like all the federal funds and programs and loans, it is uncertain to us that what funds what programs and projects, you know, could be affected. so we're closely monitoring developments to understand potential impacts to the project at the state level we're advocating with callisto and legislative partners to prioritize the portal in the cap and trade reauthorization program and secure inclusion of the portal in the capital funding component of the 2026 regional transportation measure at the regional level we are currently in the process of elevating the portal to level one to level one of major project advancement policy and also to reallocating our m3 funds to 40 cities civil and total contract at the local level we're exploring the means to pledge the future tax increment revenue to the transbay program and extend the transbay c

pell grants, pell grants take public dollars to private schools. unfortunately, poor black kids today, the vast majority won't have a pell grant. why? because if you don't graduate from high school, if you don't have proficiency in reading, math and science, the likelihood of you going to college. is 0. let's improve our k-12 system so that more of america's poor rural kids and inner city kids both have the experience i have of realizing their version. of the american dream. thank you, senator scott, very powerful. senator britt. senator britt: well, that was amazing. thank you. um, my colleague nailed it. chair cassidy, ranking member sanders, and members of this committee. i am honored to join you today to introduce president trump's nominee for secretary of education, my friend, linda mcmahon. it is clear that our current education system isn't working. we have the status quo and that's actually failing our kids. as you mentioned, mr. chairman, the latest naep scores show the students' reading and math scores are down in almost every single stat

first one would be is there any chance that the new government could say no to this grant the grant is obligated. >> so the agreement is executed. so it's we yeah, we have an executed grant agreement with the duty. >> okay. and it's one of those you know if you don't use it you lose it. >> but that's that is always that's always possible. yeah. okay. but were you trying to vocalize this as soon as possible? >> yeah. okay. thank you so much. thank you. >> okay. hearing no other comments from the board, are there comments from the public? none. thank you very much for for this good news. >> okay. next item please. item number eight consideration of proposed san francisco park code amendment applying the park code to the treasure yerba buena islands park system. >> peter somerville will present on this item. >> thanks, kate. good afternoon directors peter somerville with of staff. it's a great segway talking about being able to get more people up to our beautiful parks to the item in front of us today talking about necessary governance and rule setting for our parks. so i will walk the bo

we are seeking retroactive authorization to accept this grant. sfd received notice of this grant after the predetermined project start date received the award letter in january eighth for a predetermined project start date of october 1st 2024. brought this item to the board of supervisors after going through the fiscal approval process including comptroller's office review and approval. in conclusion any questions? >> thank you. just kind of a may i see the resolution here mentioning about the secure tunnel access specifically really is one of the reason why we're doing this. could you elaborate just a little bit more and what that means and why the relocation is necessary? >> well, currently the most of these patients are children and the basement of the building 80 is is circa 1930s. it's not a home environment. it's not welcoming and we're hoping to provide a much more welcoming environment for the children they serve. >> thank you. and my assumption is also that the secure tunnel access allows privacy allows protection, correct? >> yes. >> th

for the port security grant program which u.s. ports rely on to fund critical security projects. to make matters worse, musk in his underlinings are trying to to to kill usaid, responsible to providing foreign aid. usaid foreign investments are vital to advancing u.s. interests abroad. in fact, usaid's investments are the best tool the united states has to counter the p.r.c.'s influence on the global stage in general and the p.r.c.'s foreign port advancements in particular. usaid provides these investments for less than 1% of the federal budget. elon musk's net worth has increased by far more than the entire us is aid budget just since election day which goes to show he cares about his own personal enrichment, and not making the government more efficient. dismantling usaid is illegal. i'm going to say that again. dismantling usaid is illegal as congress has authorized, funded, and mandated its foreign aid programs. but beyond that, dismantling usaid is just plain dumb, at least it's dumb if your goal is to advance u.s. interests w

when those grants were frozen. there's other ways that federal grants help our country be safe. promotes research that keeps us healthier. we just survived a pandemic made worse by president trump's mishandling it, but let's not relitigate that now. research hospitals in my state got notification from nih and cdc that their research projects were frozen and are now under review. the national institute of health, the centers for disease control, they distribute billions of dollars in grants, there are teams of folks doing research on the ground, in hospitals, in academia, in medical practices. all of them got notices these were being frozen. domestic violence shelters, part of my role in my decade in county government was helping advocate for law enforcement and our paramedics and community-based nonprofits that respond to incidents of domestic violence, to be as supportive as possible, to make sure victims were not retraumatized by a second, third, fourth interview, to protect the security and sanctity of the shelters they went to, and to protect in particular children who'd bee

at the point the grant is awarded to a recipient, the money has to flow. that's something we are monitoring closely. mr. hernandez: i want to switch gears quickly to emergency preparedness. on saturday evening a 7.6 magnitude earthquake hit the caribbean and there was a tsunami advisory for puerto rico and the u.s. virgin islands. i think this tsunami advisory underscores how vulnerable regions like puerto rico and the u.s.v.i. and the caribbean how we depend on strong modern ports for emergency response and recovery should a disaster strike. what could be the specific economic and public safety impact of the federal funding freeze on infrastructure projects, particularly in regions vulnerable to natural disasters? mr. davis: i'd answer the question by saying unfortunately natural disasters are becoming larger, more frequent, and costly. and ports are literally on the frontlines of many of these coastal areas that are susceptible to them. we estimate the closure of a port has on the order of $5 million economic impact per day. that really -- multiply that

we have grants that that wind down and we enter into new grants.going to see some of that business happening. >> we also have through our funding sources some ability in from past fiscal years you have a budget and we often don't spend it all and we have some receipt, some savings we retain and we are able to access some of that savings and use that funding in in years like now. so i think today and i think the next couple of months you might see some of that that savings coming forward. >> and i think what's unique about that that savings is that it's one time in nature and one time in nature is it's not ongoing funding that's available and when we think about sustainable budgeting and budget reductions, we're really looking at reducing ongoing costs. so things like this where we are spending these savings are not typically part of that that budget reduction conversation. >> it does mean that when we use savings dollars we have to be very careful in how we use them because they are going to expire. so we really need to focus them on things that ar

during the review they granted a waiver for lifesaving treatment.er the clinton administration madeleine albright tried to bring usaid under control of the state department. this is not some new concept. had the people working there abided by the order issued by the secretary of state. they thought their judgment should be substituted. and they as bureaucrats and elected have more authority than the elected president congress or confirm secretary of state. when it comes to oversight we had samantha powell in here last congress. we asked her for information and as often the case when congress has a coequal branch asked for information the executive tries to stymie that. the democratic right house and democratic-controlled usaid did not want to cooperate with these investigations. the executive often times refuses to cooperate. .. where those members congress, we are here. we are having this hearing. we are providing this oversight. the role of the executive to manage the agencies and departments and that is exactly what they are doing and frankly the

obviously the $20 million grant we got for building performance standards, the $50 million grant we got for ev charging for do the charging and fueling infrastructure grant the million dollars that we had been awarded to fund our curbside ev charging program those new programs are definitely on hold because there's no way to move those processes forward without the support of the federal in executing those contracts. where we're we're looking at right now is through to your point president one all of the existing programs that we were counting on through this budget that you just approved. and what that looks like just from a deficit standpoint. so we're doing that analysis right now. we weren't ready to kind of get this ready in time for this committee meeting because like i said, it's changing each and every day. and so the rest assured this will be part of our conversation with the mayor's office as we advance submitting our budget on the 21st. >> thank you. any other questions and comments? >> if not, we're open for public comment. are there any members of the public who wish to com

position grant positions that are funded by you know beard state grant or federal grant but also help us understand that those who are currently for example which it's been a longstanding city practice that we have temporary positions and that at some point they would then and they're they're not necessarily grant positions but they're there's two type there's two grant positions that are temporary and then there's really just a temporary position but funded by general fund and then with those with that category funded by the general fund usually will roll into civil service process because they actually are now then when they especially if they're more than two fiscal years they become really baseline so to speak. what are we doing interim in terms of hiring freeze? will hiring freeze actually impact those temporary positions? that's an excellent question. the hiring freeze does impact those positions. >> however, we are having as part of the active conversations that we're having with all the departments that is one of the main areas of consistency of requests that we're seeing acro

mcmahon: i would like to see workforce pell grant's. it goes through various stages of getting past. i definitely think that workforce pell grant's are something that could stimulate our economy, provide opportunity for those who are wanting to participate in skill-based learning, to have the opportunity to have short-term certificates of pell grant's that would get those students into the workplace faster if they wanted to be electricians, hvac developers. sen. marshall: apprenticeships as well? ms. mcmahon: apprenticeships, internships, all of that. in the first tee trump administration, i was part of working with the department of labor in making sure that there were more apprenticeship programs across the country. because those are very vital to the growth of not only our economy, but our businesses in general. sen. marshall: i appreciate your answers and i look forward to supporting you. again, education is so important to all of us to live that american dream. we need a strong education system and i know you are committed to that

if somebody has not behave themselves in jail, i am not going to grant compassionate release. so the recidivists raised -- rate is basically nothing because we are so careful about who we let out of jail. it's not a recidivism problem. the problem worries, -- the public worries, if you let somebody out of jail, they are going to commit a another crime. that is not the case. it is negligible comply -- compared to the high recidivism we have when people just get out of jail when they are being charged with a crime and have served their time. so those are two examples, you made me spill the beans on two of my six cases and the rest of themybe they can read it to find out. peter: judge, that's the compromise. we will not read the other ones. these are the six cases. they are revealed in the book, "a second chance" what does the term sit up on non-mean? judge block: it just means you need to itself. peter: do you feel as a judge that you get to know the defendants at all during the trial? judge block: yes. at sentencing, i have a responsibility to really get to know that person. be

how broad is the president's purview of granting access? i mean, congress allocates the funds, right? the power of the purse is with article one in the united states congress. but the chief executive granting access to an executive apartment department of the executive branch, is that well within his purview? >> uh, it would be in his purview, if that's really what he was doing. and i think that's exactly the big problem right now, is it's not clear what kind of access is being granted and to whom is it being granted to, much less what they're going to do with the access? that's really the reason behind this great alarm. the multiple lawsuits going on and why it's likely in all these suits is we're going to see there's going to be these temporary freezes on the situation. there just isn't enough clarity as to how that access is being granted and for what reason. and there's a huge privacy issue with these granting of access and the people's privacy. all of ours needs to be protected. and that's where the irreparable harm comes in. i mean, y

i'd actually even like to see an expansion of pell grants.rtificates for pell grants for students who aren't going on to four year universities, who. could have the opportunity to use pell grants for skill based learning. >> so what i'm hearing you say is pell grant program will continue under your administration. >> yes. >> okay. you, mr. carson, senator cassidy asked you an important question, and that is, do you agree? let me just once again get your your feelings on this, that if there is a movement to abolish the department of education, it has to go through the united states congress? >> yes. the it is set up by the united states congress. and we work with congress. it clearly cannot be shut down without it. >> okay. let's pull away from this for a moment. we will keep monitoring. but i want to take you back mrs. fischer. mr. gallego. mrs. gillibrand. mr. graham. once this vote wraps up, he will be confirmed. >> the way this process. >> works is the vote remains open for a. certain window of time. senators will then trickle onto the hou

that they will be issued this grant.rticular grant was the kind of thing where you put the money up first, and then you get reimbursed. so, you know, we're waiting and we're hoping. but if a future grant opportunity from the government comes up, i'll definitely pause before accepting because i would be afraid this might happen again. >> is this happening to your fellow farmers? are you hearing this from anyone else in your world? >> yes, absolutely. everyone is really scared. people have reached out to me all over the country sharing similar stories. there's other two other farms in maryland who were in the middle of receiving their grant contracts for their solar panels as well. so there's at least two other people who are in the exact same position as me. and then there's also other government grants, not even this one, but ones for building high tunnels and putting a well on your property and putting up fencing for livestock. and all of those are frozen. so everyone is kind of in limbo and just feeling very nervous. >

one bright spot is that we anticipate getting a few very large grants so you can see that our grants line is going up by many millions of dollars which is exciting news the expenditure recovery it's pretty much about the same. that's where we perform work for other departments in the city and then we get paid for the work that we do for them it's a little bit lower we're projecting but not any large order of magnitude and the general fund supports we are reducing it. >> it doesn't show in this table because every year we start with a base budget that is different from the current year budget. so the base budget includes those salary and benefit increases. so the base budget dollar amount is around eight point nine. >> thank you. and so we're reducing the 1.4 to get back to where we are in the current year. so i think that might be a little confusing just looking at this table but we are following the instructions and we are making that reduction so we are taking down salaries and fringe as you can see here mostly by reducing vacant positions and in the budget we have an overhead numb

my name is grant carson. i'm a debt capital market specialist in the comptroller's office of public finance. also joined by carolina buford as a representative for the port of san francisco. >> before you here today are two ordinances. the first would authorize the issuance of refunding certificates of participation and or copies to refinance certain currently outstanding series of copies. the second ordinance is a supplemental appropriation ordinance which would appropriate the proceeds of the proposed refunding copies. >> currently there are two outstanding series of copies which could potentially be refinanced for savings. the 2013 b and 2013 c copies they can be called or refunded any day after march 1st, 2023 currently combined representing approximately 24 million an outstanding principal representing about 2 million and ongoing average annual debt service. from now through fiscal 2043 the 2013 b and c swaps were originally issued to finance a variety of capital improvements for the port of san francisc

do not do a subsidize grant, they did it for every single grant and zero documentation. wake up republicans, they are breaking your law. the n.i.h. might claim that what we are doing here is actually not cuts to the n.i.h. because the same $35 billion will go out to science. now it's going to be more of those direct experiments that people, reagents. the less of that expensive overhead. and while it is true that the same amount of dollars could go out the door, in reality, these institutions whether universities or hospitals, are going to be decreasingly able ot them. of if i any given experiment, the overhead associated with with that experiment is well more than 15%. research facilities, energy bills, support personnel, data and technology. these things are expensive. we are not in the era of beakers and somebody's backyard doing chemicals experiments, we are in an era of cutting edge genetic engineering and the equipment costs money. fewer institutions and investigators will be able to accept these grants. and what we are ultimately going to do is privatize research i

another is a reduction in grant revenue which is simply a matter of the mellon grant revenue having been fully recognized in fiscal 25. the grant period extends to fiscal 26 but the revenue has all been recognized already a slight change from last year and prior year's budget presentations is that we have as you can see on the third line broken out the symphony funds that come to us pursuant to the charter and pass through us to the symphony. >> we thought it was perhaps a bit more transparent to really reflect how much of the general fund support for our department is retained by the department for our purposes versus passing through. previously those were condensed into one general fund line. >> our overall budget request operating plus capital will fluctuate just basically given the nature of some capital projects being one time. so the overall budget does decline and request i should say budget request important to underscore that does decline moderately from the fiscal 25 to 26 and then increases again driven by a large capital project which we'll talk about on a later slide from fi

so some communities have access to other types of resources or some are large grant grant recipientslarge programs like school districts, city government, county government. some are single purpose nonprofits. and i think in a lot of a lot of communities, especially in really rural communities and and those where they have the much smaller programs, that's where we're really concerned about, again, we're hopeful. and it does appear as if the administration is working through this backlog, and we're very hopeful that this will get addressed today, tomorrow. and we don't have to have these types of conversations any further. at the end of the day, again, this is head start provides such critical services to so many children and families across this country. and it's something that democrats and republicans have long supported. and we're looking forward to making sure that we can get back to that type of stability that we need so we can provide that type of stability, stability to children and families. >> the omb memo sending everything into a tizzy. we will see what happens over over

it is not a block grant program. it is about care. it is about making sure people get the benefits they deserve. and this hiring freeze is having decimating effects, not just on filling positions, but on recruiting. doctors, nurses, they are in short supply. they have other places where they will be played -- where they will be paid more, and the v.a. has been telling people who have been recruited and hired, sorry, we can't pay you. and then jerked them around and said, well, now we may have open positions, but people cannot live that way. >> of course you know what is really all behind us. if there are fewer employees, fewer health care providers at the v.a. then that is going to mean that patient care takes longer. what happens when it takes past a certain point for a veteran to get an appointment at the v.a.? they go to community care. we are already sending $30 billion into the community. we know that veterans prefer to get there care at the -- get there care at the v.a. this is part of their goal to privatize the v.a. the longer

he was only really zeroing in on the discretionary grants nih grants and loan guarantees are the inflationction act for green energy. it was not going after entitlements, veterans benefits medicaid, social security, food stamps or any of that. it was very narrow. the problem was he did not explain all this of the omb did not explain this in the original memo which led to all kinds of confusion people thought all the sudden the medicaid systems were going down but that was not the case. boxeoxo is just a lack of clariy per minute issued it memo's tuto saythis is not these progry these. and wednesday they rescinded the memo. but is the paws on spending is still going to go on? >> i think so but that's of the press secretary clarified. we are going to continue to review these grants we are just not going to put an official pause which basically opens it up to litigation. they're going to continue to ensure they are spending all of the grants follows through with the priorities eliminating di, ensuring money or good money does not go after bad in terms of subsidizing vehicle companies that are
