outreach. we are pleased to recommend the response of bidders this year and the new responsive better was in the neighborhood area, "marina *." and the company that bid for them and the "no. * san francisco." there is no change in the reasons and the other communities were unresponsive. for all of the non-responsive bidders last year, the board chose to add them to the resolution as well. supervisor campos: colleagues, any questions? supervisor farrell: in order to add "marina times" have to have a motion to amend. president chiu: i think it is important to have specific outreach to the african-american and asian communities. i would be willing to make a motion which designates the papers that were designated last year for the african-american community and for the chinese community. i think as far as the neighborhood papers go, i'm open to come serving what we may want to do. it does seem to be a fairly random lust and i'm not sure we are going to be doing outreach to all neighborhoods in the

our outreach will be much better next year. i take responsibility for that because i did not notify them as early as i should have. supervisor campos: can you say more about what the level of outrage has been? i'm surprised to hear that. there have been sullied neighborhood papers in san francisco, that is what -- there have been so many neighborhood papers in san francisco. there have been so many as one of the great things about the city. what the plan to do going forward that has not been done? >> the way it is announced is it goes on the internet, it goes to our historical bid list which gets larger from year to year. i became aware that there is an association of san francisco newspapers, and they will be on the bid list next year. that is what we have done up until now and next year, we will be better. president chiu: these ad prices seem to be all over the map. do they reflect the different ad prices -- to reflect circulation sizes or is there a way for us to treat all of these community- based papers equally? >> i do no

they are not aware of the outreach policies are evolving here. i will be talking to mark because he has good ideas about how to get the neighborhood association more involved to reach all the target areas. the "san francisco bay view" is a member of the association as well. we target the african-american community and they are an excellent option. supervisor campos: thank you. is there any other member of the public to what like to speak? seeing none, public comment is closed. president chiu: has there been any discussion about doing neighborhood outreach -- for example -- if we were able to set the rate on which newspapers can get the word out, as opposed to having a widely varying rates coming to us on how we approach bids? >> i'm not sure i'm getting the concept. president chiu: i'm wondering if there is a way to be a little more uniform about how we think about that neighborhood outreach. >> the price for newspapers, the administrative code is silence -- is silent on consideration of price as far as a warning that contract. outrage newspapers

for instance, the homeless outreach team would lose the outreach workers. they respond to calls from citizens, the police, and the mayor's office, referring clients to shelters and case management, as well as other critical services. staff are here to tell you more in detail about what they do. i ask that you preserve this vital services to the homeless. >> my name is rand park. i am director of the homeless outreach team. this loss will decimate the team. we currently have two shifts that work until 9:00 at night. the service needs a basic human need of housing, shelter, food, nutrition, and safety from the streets. the team response to 311, the police, and the medical system. we assessed for case management. we do wellness' checks on people in shelters and stabilization housing. we help the provider community and are able to place folks it in emergency care. we have oversight of and case management of 36 folks in the case management system. we take folks in very poor condition. sometimes a shower is what makes it possible for a person to access needed ser

i know there's believed to be outreach. but you look at this approximate quit map, and it doesn't even show the fact that 3101 mission street is a school called the family school. it's been there for 10 years at least. it was developed when the gateway apartments went into it. it's not even located on there. it is a viable school. it should be there. it's within the 3101 mission street. with regard to outreach, on may 23, the reason why the police department was informed of this potential pot club is because i went to the police station with the notification and asked about it. so only upon the 23rd of may were the police actually notified. it was because i brought it to their attention. in fact, on may 23, i also did outreach on my own to patricia -- and i have her name -- her last name -- of the family school located at 3101. and she did not even know about the potential pot club coming in, or marijuana club. with regards to the fact of if this is a code violation, the reality of the situation is their license is for 32 c

taking nine positions of of 11 cripples the outreach efforts of that team. these are those to respond when citizens call 311 -- [bell rings] thank you. >> good afternoon. my name is komiko kawaski. i am here on behalf of coranado, but i am also speaking for all the service providers working to end homelessness. it is very important. they're coming from mentally, physically healthy people. sometimes they forget to take care of themselves. they do not realize on much they are stressed out and traumatized from working with clients. especially case management. there are constant challenges from inside and outside of the building. they have to deal with people who have chronic medical conditions and mental health disorders. from my first experience -- this is isolated because of the small budget. it makes these people more likely to burn out because they have the problems they deal with everyday. it is a proposed cuts that will make its impossible to maintain the quality of services provided. we are not making much money. our keys -- our case managers earn $16 an

it is called the outreach collaborative. that is already a relationship that exists. what this section of the ordinance does is it just asks them to work in collaboration , so the use their existing outreach budget and to perhaps make adjustments to the materials so that they are better targeted towards the industry and the workers that are most suffering from wage stuffed. commissioner kasselman: nothing additional is needed? >> no. commissioner kasselman: thinks. commissioner: i am in a business where if you do not have your signs up, you are fined. in just to reiterate what commissioner clyde had said, there is a lot of human trafficking here in san francisco, and i have seen this firsthand, and there are people being paid low wages below minimum wage, and it is an expensive place to live, so i will be supporting this legislation. >> thank you. president o'brien: commissioner collide? commissioner clyde: in the hearing, it was stated that one or two are paid below the minimum wage. i believe chinatown was cited as -- in one of the studies, that one out of every two

please restore funding for the outreach team. >> next speaker. >> my name is hugh gregory from the outreach team since november of 2009. i must admit my 10 years working in this field, never have i worked so intensely with the homeless population. i've experienced very deep and intense interaction with these people. many do not understand the dynamics of outreach but is a crucial part of getting the homeless engaged in services. some clients actively seek out shelter and request services, but large majorities are so mentally ill or ingrained in their homeless lifestyle, outreaching is the only way to establish a connection. in situations like this, we take a long-term approach. with this method hopefully by initiating contact with a client, we can aid, persuade he or she to utilize shelter or b, maintain contact with the client on the street long enough to process the necessary paperwork to successfully house them. among other things, we serve as a buffer between clients who are high users of county and city medical services. all too often emergency services such as ssfpd, fire paramedics r

they did extensive outreach. i got bogged by them several times. we all got invited out to the site. they had neighborhood groups and neighbors meeting and everything else, and when i called staff to find out what out -- place as far as this project was concerned, i understand it was only to mission dolores, which is five blocks away -- when i called to find out what outreach took place. i was shocked to hear that the project sponsor did not even have the courtesy to go next door to the family-owned business, a family business that has been operating in the mission for close to 40 years, to introduce themselves and, you know, sit down and have some conversation about what their intended use was. i was shocked, actually. i could not believe it. to me, at a minimum, project sponsors going into a neighborhood should have -- i mean, just the sense, the thought of going next door. when i was sitting there, i guess, after the staff person informed the project sponsor that there might be some questions asked about the outrage that they apparently he ran i

[continued reading] rydstrom. >> good afternoon, todd rydstrom. this allows us to continue our commercial paper program that ogses -- costs about 1% on average by the time we borrow on the short market. that compares to about % if we were to have to sell bonds in advance. commissioner caen: is there a motion to continue the cost savings program? >> i have a question. why is the annual fee so much more? >> when we previously renewed this contract, the market was very aggressive for commercial paper programs. since then the investment banks and banks in particular are gearing up for the imp limitation of the basil -- implementation t

can you tell us a little bit about any outreach that you have done to the surrounding community? >> i did do the outreach to one of the local neighborhood activists upon a recommendation and that thr didn't really seem to be that much concern about the reopening of it but i will continue to kind of like stay alert to their interests. i've reached out to the other businesses, specifically the restaurant on the corner, westwood gardens. >> woodward gardens. >> it is a really cool restaurant just to say hey, we can send out emails to people who buy tickets to support business, which is not the same as what you're talking about but they are immediate neighbors. >> ok. it is a challenging neighborhood. good luck to you. >> yeah. >> i have one question and two comments. the only question is that i guess where they talked about parking, you answered in meters. >> there is a kind of an abundant of meter parking. >> oh, is that what you meant? i thought you meant meters instead of feet. i misunderstood. my comment was going to be, you know, i think that -- i think that it is a great idea

for san francisco for issuing the project, doing public outreach. and then identifying projects to fit within our discretionary funding target of $6.16 billion. we also did a number of cornation efforts -- coronation efforts. regional operators were allowed to apply directly. so this is really only san francisco projects before you today. and the members of the public were also encouraged to submit projects but needed a public agency sponsoring order to move forward. we did a quite large amount of public outreach, which is described on page 78 of your packet. attended over 14 public meetings pa specifically in low-income and minority communities. utilized various social and electronic media such as e-mails and webpages, placed ads in newspapers. and then utilized the authority's regular board process. what we heard from members of the public was pretty expected. it was great support for transit, pedestrian, bicycling projects. received 200 ideas from the public. these are on page 80 or attachment 3 of the packet. we also heard demand for a roadway c

. >> with the exception about the concerns for the possible lack of significant community outreach, i recognize commissioner meko on this issue. >> i would like to congratulate you and thank you very much for the degree of outreach for the surrounding community you have gone through. the whole idea behind the good neighbors policy is if you are a factor of five -- that, you cannot have a good neighbor policy without all those elements working together. i think it is a good idea to put some of these folks on your vip list as well. i used to say if he would just invite the neighbors over to some of the more interesting of venice, he would not have trouble with his neighbors. it looks like he has done a good job in reaching out and helping establish a better relationship with the folks around you. the one to thank you very much, and i support your permit application. -- i want to thank you very much, and i support your permit a vacation. -- permit application. >> good afternoon. as far as the station, the gentleman was the first -- >> officer edison. >> officer edison was the first perso

outreach to the public. zero. zero. >> through this project, that's true. the memo described -- you read it yourself. your memo described the study that was done. outreach to the public -- >> you made a comment that we would be wasting money that we've already spent. for the purposes of the television and the rate payers tell us how much, what it was done and what it was for. >> it's in your own staff memo. i'm not your staff. >> but you're a witness who made a comment and i was unindicated about that comment because i wasn't on the commission. >> i'm referring to the -- >> can someone on statue give us an answer? >> i don't think mr. jensen was done. he was in the middle of talking about something. >> excuse me, commissioner, but i would like to have an answer to a very important question. i was not here. you've been here for a very long time. i have not. when someone says if we don't spend this money we'll have wasted all the money we spent before. i'd like to know what they're talking about. >> would you please respond? >> i'd be glad to answer the quest

s office can do to improve outreach. >> i will do that. i think that is a great idea. supervisor campos: thank you. >> good afternoon. my name is susan, the chief information officer for the san francisco police department. i have been with the department for seven months. prior to that, i was in private industry doing i.t. work for the last 25 years. i would like to thank the doctor for including me today. i see some great work on the family violence council. happy to be a part of that. i think i was invited here today to talk about technology and the police department because it is such a critical vehicle for us, and i think there are improvements that need to be made. i will talk about that today. i thought i would give you a brief high level overview of the current status of technology at the police department. it is a much longer conversation and i would welcome the opportunity to have that conversation in another meeting here this one is going to be very short perio. then i will talk about our approach and road map and then answer questions. the current status of

do you have a summary of the outreach efforts? >> i would defer to mr. ever harder and answering that question. thank you. supervisor cohen: ok, he becomes. thank you. -- here he comes. thank you. >> good afternoon. i have been the outreach coordinator for the san francisco executive park for the last six years. we have in conjunction with the city planning department conducted very extensive community outreach. we have had at least three public hearings that were advertised by mailings and phone calls to what least 10,000 residents throughout the community. the planning department conducted its own about -- in terms of providing mailings to people with -- i believe within the 1000-foot mark. we added to that by mailing to all households with in the bayview hunters point visitation valley area, which would visit coats of 94124, 94134, and in addition to that, i have personally attended more than 100 community meetings. we have gone to every neighborhood organization. we have participated with every neighborhood organization from the little hollywood neig
