every chamber is providing baselevel orientation. popular topics include the role of the clerk and secretary. the budget process. chamber rules and the committee process. some states go beyond the initial orientation and provide ongoing skills and training. wisconsin, idaho, colorado, the hawaii house, the pennsylvania senate and the washington house are examples of legislators that provide ongoing training in at least one topic. provides civics education each year. what does ncl a cell offer? we have on boarding packets, leadershipaining, programs. state requests for training have skyrocketed. leaders across the industry finds this appealing, primarily to create a new standard of what it means to be successful. our most popular trainings include mediation, strategic creation or teams. often we conduct these trainings with former legislators, and emphasizing peer-to-peer learning herein we are always customized for the legislative environment. adult learning engagement.o boost peer-to-peer programs are most beneficial. are workshopsh

providers have records of each call handled by the networks and working cooperatively each provider, starting with the carrier that serves the call consumer at the bottom of my diagram, searches its records and invites next provider in the chain upward the past the call to it until the provider who allowed the robo calls onto the network in the first place is reached. trace back used to be entirely manual and required subpoenas to each provider taking weeks to months but now the process has been automated and can be completed in days or even hours. we don't have to trace back billions or millions of calls. one successful examine to get us to the source by tracing back selected call examples from illegal robo call campaigns the providers allowed those calls onto the u.s. network can be identified and notified to take steps to stop the calls. regulators must step in where providers refuse to mitigate the calls. in closing we must be proven and about who gets what kind of access to the u.s. telephone network. it makes no sense for a robo collar in india, identified only by a gmail addre

i will provide more details later.the same time we also provide funding to the community-based organizations each year. in fi giancarlo fisichellain thd organizations to provide in depth education and outreach to the neighborhoods. in 18-19 we funded seven. in the current fiscal year we are funding also seven. to our city wide and neighborhood focus. they are including walk sf foundation and seniors and disability action groups. two are city-wide focus. the others are neighborhood focusin' concluding chinatown community development center and family connection center. they are located in excelsior. in the center they are focused on the tenderloin. they focus on the tenderloin and the lighthouse, they focus on the mission an and the richmond area. that is the neighborhood focus of the current funding. as i mentioned, our staff conduct presentation in outreach in senior centers and community events and different neighborhoods. all of the neighborhoods are located near the network including richmond, chinatown and tenderl

some of that match is also provided directly by the non-profit provider who is sponsoring the project. this year in coming before you, we've also provided a bit of a cushion. if h.u.d. were to increase the fair market rent rate by approximately 3%, so the application will be for 4.9685 and $35. the fair market rent increases that cushion so that if h.u.d. comes back with a local fair market increase, we have your authority to spend those funds on those projects that would receive the s.m.r. finally, as i mentioned earlier, this is a process overseen by our local homeless coordinating board that we work closely with. projects selected must go through a rigorous community-led process. we work with a non-profit technical assistance program to lead that process. applicants are asked to apply and ranked through that community process. the lhcb this year posted two funding committees in the spring of 2019 with providers, both and after the nofa was released. there were a variety of hearings at the local board. we received 69 total applications, 59 renewal projects, four youth demonsation pr

and they provided matching funding for the grant. what this means is we'll be able to have stipends. there is money for eight stipends. for interns. and the doss is funding two additional stipends for a total of 10. this isn't really new for us -- they've definitely had this on the child welfare side for many, many years, where they provide opportunities for internships, and for education for people who want to become social workers and who really want to continue in the field. one of the issues around this -- one of the reasons it is important is it really does address some equity issues. so people who aren't always able to get in and get their master's degree, but certainly have lived experience, it is often hard to get a government job as a social worker. simultaneously, we really need to be bringing people into aging services and disability services. it is hard to recruit people. so being able to offer incentives to people to come work for us and to be educated, and to spend their careers here, it is just really important for us.

i do believe it still provides the daves forum to be able to provide evidence. i think that's the unique aspect of an article 32 is the defense has the ability to provide evidence to the preliminary hearing officer and, therefore, really directly to the convening authority to get whatever evidence that they deem is relevant and necessary in making a recommendation as to disposition of charges. before the person who actually is making that recommendation. i do believe it still has a value to our system. i will agree, however, that we got a lot more information in a prior iteration of the article 32. it was much more comprehensive. you had a better idea what disposition of charges, what the charges should look like, particularly in an era where the charges themselves have changed dramatically over the last probably, i think, 12 or 13 years. we've had many, many changes to article 120 over the course of that time frame and so having someone with fresh eyes look at it and make sure you're looking at the right charge time frame for that particular iteration of articl

those will be provided on september 24th. scenscenesubsequent to that, wee work on park design review anticipated for early october p. then schematic design review through advisory committees would come back to the port commission for approval in december. prior to that, we'll be working on the parks and open space agreement. the contract between the port and management entity to manage parks. we anticipate coming back for that item in october. and that is the end of the presentation. so looking forward to public comments and all of use comments. >> thank you. >> we have one public comment. bruce edgett? >> good afternoon, executive director for berks s, president brandon, commissioners. my name is bruce agette and i'm speaking in support of the mission rock development. for identification purposes, i'm a native, a ten-year resident of mission bay and a rep on the south neighborhood association. over the past seven years, i have worked to be involved in the planning process for the mission rock development. together, we provi

provider from support services without. i agree with helen's comment about that being a self-fulfilling problem. if you don't have an address you cannot get a home care provider. if you don't have a home care provider, you cannot get to in shelter. that's crazy. the other idea, that scott said something earlier, some people cannot handle congregate setting, i am paraphrasing. as far as people with severe disabilities. that is ridiculous. a lot of shelters do not have adequate areas for wheelchairs and people with disabilities. also, this might shock everyone in this room, there is something called guidry. many people, in shelters are extremely bigoted. the staff does nothing about it. i witnessed an african-american being kicked out of the shelter because the color of their skin was upsetting people in the shelter. the shelter staff will just agree with the majority. if the majority is upset about a person with severe disabilities, who has a site seeing dog, or has a different skin color than people. they will get kicked ou

so wanted to provide a range here. so while wait times for placements vary widely, the general average wait time for placement may be around 30 to 45 days. and then there are very extreme cases. we've heard of wait times that are longer than even 500 days. so there are some pretty extreme cases. i did think it was important to note that a couple of facilities just said that they just haven't been able to find placement at all. and so -- and you know, so folks are staying, you know, in the hospital. in terms of discharge, we do -- >> that means they're looking in other counties, they're looking around the state and they're not able to find someone? >> well, you know, they're also trying to take into account family preferences and making sure that that's taken into account. so they might stay in the acute care facility. so in -- >> chair: hold up. supervisor stefani. >> supervisor stefani: back to page 19. patients that are ventilator-dependent and in need of dialysis, no sub-acute care options in northern california and

in germany provided. the red represents the amount of un- provided care for destitute survivors and it's in the billions every year for the past 15 years. so the regime of giving the insurance companies immunity in order to supposedly provide all these benefits has resulted into tens of thousands of survivors suffering and dying with the care they need. finally let me just a guess. is present near claims processing office is concerned, this is in the exact same argument was made in 2008 when the opponents defeated legislation sponsored by tom months, the only survivor to ever serve in congress. four years after that, new york claims office settled six claims for $70000. and they have never published any other information since that. the problem is of course that i check itself was not an appropriate mechanism because it was flawed in many ways. i hope you thanks questions about that because i see my time is running out. but there is a lot of specifics that you need to understand. in addition i would submi

provide a writer -- provider behavior, and who gets what care. we can accept the principle the government needs to regulate, and i mean hard regulation, these problems are impossible. we are clearly not to that place. >> change of consciousness. time for one or two more. how have states relationships with the health care system evolved over time? a question about state initiatives. >> great question. >> the health insurance debates began at the state level in the progressive era. it was almost entirely state proposed because national insurance was, was seen as something that shouldn't happen at the federal level. the role of the states was of course preserved in medicaid. i know there is a lot of hope for state experimentation that could help improve the health care system, but i think the reality, historically, is that ton health care has devolved a state responsibility, that embeds a lot of inequity in the system because there is so much inferential between states terms of medicare benefits, in terms of who they cover. so the states certainly h

certainly provide value. but, however, you have to weigh that in the context of everything else that we're doing and you have to weigh that against not only the data integrity compliance concerns that we face, but you also have to weigh that against the resources and the costs that we're expending as we want to be a good steward of the taxpayers' dollars and resources. so i would say that it's very difficult to, you know, it's not ever a black-and-white answer when you're trying to analyze the value of a particular activity. there's a lot of factors that go into that. and i could get a piece of information today that 10, 11, steps down the line later might actually prove to be really valuable. >> the cdr program was reconstituted under the usa freedom act after its passage in 2015. now, please help me update the board's findings. sitting here today, can the nsa cite any instance involving a threat to the united states in which the cdr program made a concrete difference in the outcome of a counterterrorist inv

the open space that we provided on that block, unfortunately we don't have room elsewhere to provide and that is something if we don't have that portion of those parcels, we can't develop on them. they're not in ownership by the sponsors. so some things, obviously, we don't provide if we didn't have the land. the percentage of affordable housing remains the same. so they're not getting a reduction in the requirement in that sense. >> i don't know if that answers the question. >> it does answer the question. i hope you can manage this and that this site is extremely important to the overall success to particularly how it properly presents itself to the street and a connection to the rest of the community. that would be larger community connecting uses. speaking about the community facilities, the grocery store, including some of the below-market rate housing, anti-open space and i'm looking for you to stay strong on the helm to do so. i have one additional question, if i may. i'm delighted seeing that the dialogue with you and the community has really taken a wonderful turn. i think t

what germany provided through the plaintiffs. the red represents the amount of unprof unprovided care. it is in the billions every year for the past 15 years. the regime of giving these insurance immunity resulted in tens of thousands of survivors suffering and dying without the care they need. >> finally let me just say that part of the new york claims processing offices concern, this was the act argument that was made in 2008. in the four years after that, the new york claim, settles six claims for $70,000. they never published any information. i check itself was not an appropriate mechanism because it was flawed in many, many ways. i hope you ask questions about that because i see my time is running out. there are a lot of specifics that you need to understand. in addition, i would submit that we provided a letter from harry rose, the child to german survivors who found the name on eye checklist of german company went to new york, the results are something that you need to see. the bottom line is holocaust survivors should not

i agree it's not for you to judge, you shall provide it to congress. but you did judge whether this complaint should be provided to congress. can we at least agree that the inspector general made a sound conclusion that this whistle-blower complaint was credible? >> that is correct. in the cover letter that's been provided to the committee, i believe that's also being public the decision and the recommendation by the inspector general, that in fact the allegation was credible. >> can we also agree that it was urgent that if the president of the united states was withholding military aid to an ally, even as you received the complaint, and was doing so for a reason to exercise leverage over the president of ukraine to dig up manufactured dirt on his opponent, can we agree that it was urgent while that aid was being withheld? i'm talking about the common understanding of what urgent means. inspector general said this was urgent, not only in the statutory meaning, this was urgent as everyone understands that term. can we agree that it was urgent? >> it was

aragon will provide some details of that, and thank you for pointing out. i did skip that item in the report in the interests of time, but dr. aragon has more details. >> good afternoon. is the question about building 606 or is it about parcel a? >> building 606 because that's all the report is on. it says that we've come to a -- we've come to a report saying that there was no problem. >> correct. so they did extensive testing both -- they did a radio logical scan looking to make sure there was no exposure? they also did dusting, and they also did dust testing for asbestos. so all the testing that has been done over the years has been negative. the only problem they did find was early on, there is some lead levels in the water, so they've been providing bottled water for that site for years, so no one's had any exposure from the lead to the water. >> so that's same accepted -- are they still occupying the building? >> yes, the building is still being used, and the building is completely safe. >> okay. >> and since the late 1990's, we've had an industrial hy

you shall provide it to congress, but indeed he did judge whether this complaint should be provided to congress. can we at least agree that the inspector general made a sound conclusion that this whistleblower complaint was credible? >> that is correct. that is in the cover letter provided to the committee. the recommendation by the inspector general that in fact the allegation was credible. >> can we also agree that it was urgent that if the president of the united states was withholding military aid to an ally even as you received the complaint and was doing so for a nefarious reason, that is to exercise leverage over the president of ukraine to dig up manufactured dirt on his opponent, can we agree that it was urgent while that aid was being withheld? i'm talking about the common understanding of what urgent means because the inspector general said this was urgent as everyone understands that term. can we agree that it was urgent? >> it was urgent and important. my job as the director of national intelligence was to comply with the whistleblower protection act and adhere to the defi

one of the things that we know when we provide for better accessibility, we provide safety for everyone, so this project is going to allow us to update and renew our projectable warnings. for transit islands improvements, our current transit islands unfortunately do not meet straight accessibility requirements. we want to make sure or ramps are requirements. we want to have appropriate signals and bicyclist paths and navigation. we know that market is a high consumer area for people with disabilities. it's also one of our high injury corridors, and fatalities have included wheelchair users, unfortunately. we have a very large demographic of people with disabilities in san francisco, 90,000 according to the american public survey. it's probably more than that. we know that at least half are under the age of 65 and folks with disabilities are using this area and to a high degree using public transportation. specifically, too, some of our requirements under title 2 of the americans with disabilities act, which is what the mayor's office on disabilities helps to oversee citywide in terms of

we face and providing the services. we are ready to face those obstacles with help from our partners and continued support of congress. thank you for the opportunity to discuss the work. thank you very much. getting rights to the question here. you know that the policies that traumatized the children have largely been reversed and i will pick up the quote at the end of the remarks. the facility still faces challenges addressing the trauma of separation and that we ought to pay attention to that and to be deteriorating mental health of those that remain in care. the policies that have been reversed or the policies that ought to be examined going forward? >> the additional challenges continue to be of concern despite the policy reversal. first of all facilities continue to provide care for children so the court order as you mentioned that stop the separations allows the separation of the certain conditions. they've recently certified to the court that there were 911 separated over the last year. in addition with respect t

being that all the staff are being provided eight -- and continue continued to be provided bottled water, they'd -- it is not a health hazard at this time and they will continue to be prided -- provided with bottled water. and continuation of that, there are localized fixtures within the building to help reduce the handwashing and dishwashing -- and dishwashing is not a concern for occupants. the crawlspace standing water has been an ongoing issue out that hunters point, specifically due to some sump pumps in the crawlspace not functioning appropriately. those are being rectified, but concern was addressed by facilities personnel to enter those spaces and d.p.w. folks who have to go down there. we did not encounter any standing water throughout this whole entire wet season. that being said, we're committed to do testing showed that water return. -- should that water return. the next slide is about waste characterization of the soil pile, which is located behind building 606. the soil pile was excavated when they did some underground sewage work. the soil pile has remained on sight and th

part of the social safety net that san francisco provides for immigrant families. when you are immigration legal services as part of the health benefit. so many people are extremely stressed about keeping their families together. so, if we can take care of their legal needs, sometimes they can do better focusing on mental health, housing, jobs and other needs that they have. the social workers that work at carecen have definitely communicated that immigration services are high on the list of what the services people come to them in need. we also believe that it is not recent immigrants that are wanting to respond to this need, but other san franciscans, and our community at large, does not want to lead people out in the we believe that working on solutions and helping to respond to this crisis can help the ci city. i want to recognize friending for legal service providers, part of that is through the san francisco immigrant legal defense collaborative. some of you have the annual report from last year regarding from the collaborative, there has also been funding th

right now, 500-dollar donations with a 6-1 match rate that would provide -- a 2-1 match rate would provide $1,000, but with the proposed changes, the 6-1 match rate, but only 150-dollar matching contribution. that donation would result in $900 in public funds. you can see it is the same as a 150-dollar donation and dilutes the impact of large donations in terms of access to the public funds. we did look at the election campaign funds because this will result in higher rates of spending of public funding if the proposed changes are adopted what we have seen is that the election campaign fund generally is very well-funded. it started in 2018 was $7 million, it is well-funded in part because of the level of participation in the program. so there are funds that are allocated every year by the board of supervisors through the budget process, but if they don't all get spent, then this is the nonelection mirror and they will move over to next year the result has been a fund that funds that has been able to cover all public funding for the campaign since the program has been in effect, except for
