supervisor ronen? >> supervisor ronen: i don't want to cutoff president yee. i actually have a similar version of a question, so maybe you can finish up because i very much agreed with everything you had to say. i'm wondering -- and this is sort of a similar question to president yee, how decisions are made specifically on timing and use and selection of awardees for nofas, r.f.p.s, and r.f.q.s. and the reason i'm asking -- this is very similar in line to what supervisor walton and president yee were saying -- is often times, it feels like the same large developers get awarded and selected time and time again, and i'm just wondering what mohcd is doing to improve capacity in smaller organizations led by black and brown folks so that they're able to compete with the large, nonprofit developers who are awarded pretty much every single contract. this is news to me, but members of the community are on these panels, as well. i had no idea. i've never heard of that before, so that just -- i would love to hear more about that, as well. >> so supervisor, there was $3

. >> supervisor ronen: thank you, president yee. hi, good afternoon. i had requested that you be here today because i have heard from several workers in the medical profession that when they had -- patients that are undocumented -- [inaudible] -- over and over again, their patients have never heard -- >> president yee: excuse me. supervisor, i'm sorry. somebody -- i can hear somebody speaking in the background. please mute your mics. >> supervisor ronen: that they had never heard of the healthy san francisco program. they didn't know they were eligible. and just had never heard about it. so i'm wondering what kind of outreach and education and recruitment you've been doing for those individuals that are eligible for healthy san francisco? >> good afternoon, supervisor ronen. this is alice with the department of public health. and i'd like to just share with you kind of some of the activities that we are currently doing. prior to covid, we did have more outreach in terms of availability to do presentations that are requested. we stil

ronen: sure. i wanted to hear a little more in person but it would be good to here from about your thoughts or from v.l.a. on the different points of view between puc and dpw on the question. i didn't read it in the report itself. i may not have gotten to it yet. >> staff: it was at the end of the report. >> h. ronen: i was halfway through it when the meeting started. >> staff: it's okay. and the puc was was previously part of the department and in the mid to late '90s that function was moved out and moved to puc but not 100% shifted over to puc. some of it stayed at dpw. a couple things that stayed, hydraulic engineers stayed behind at dpw and they have skilled brick layers and the smaller constructed pipe is made of this and that's why they contract for bricks instead of hydraulic engineering. and move over to puc. i believe dpw staff and they can speak for themselves but the work they're doing through a work order is sufficient. and there's rates on work orders from dpw to puc. we weren't able

supervisor ronen? >> supervisor ronen: yes. so the only thing that we could have done today is reject it unanimous. otherwise, no matter what we do today, it's going to expire on saturday. >> president yee: yes. >> supervisor ronen: but you're saying that maybe by thursday, there'll be a unanimous opinion, and so that's why it would be worth continuing it to thursday? >> president yee: yes. i was trying to collect everybody's comments. >> supervisor ronen: right. >> president yee: there's support to have this emergency order last longer than saturday, and we did nothing, it would last until saturday. some of the colleagues felt maybe that's too long, and if, in that case, if i had to vote today, i wouldn't say stop it earlier than that. so if we were to meet thursday -- again, because people were asking, well, can we have a daily evaluation or at least every two days, and i'm thinking too myself that, it's been calm somewhat, and maybe two more days, we're finding that the rest of the bay area is also calming down, i could easi

supervisor ronen. >> yes. thank you so much. i wanted to appreciate this discussion and so that you all know that i'm working, you know, mental health s.f. is our road map to how we're going to fix our broken mental health system in san francisco so i'm looking at whether or not we do sort of an interim version of it, given that budget realities -- both budget realities and care different realities. like they do a first phase of it and second phase of it as we come out of this recession. so that's something that i'm just starting to look at. but it would be great if we could collectively work on that together and use that as a guide for these budget discussions. i think we can think about the policy in relation to the budget deficit. but not let the budget deficit totally control the policy right. we can have an informant. we create a mental health s.f., imagining we were going to bring $100 million more of regular revenue into the discussions so not only are we expecting not to have that $100, $100 million of additional revenue

supervisor ronen? >> supervisor ronen: i don't want to cutoff president yee. i actually have a similar version of a question, so maybe you can finish up because i very much agreed with everything you had to say. i'm wondering -- and this is sort of a similar question to president yee, how decisions are made specifically on timing and use and selection of awardees for nofas, r.f.p.s, and r.f.q.s. and the reason i'm asking -- this is very similar in line to what supervisor walton and president yee were saying -- is often times, it feels like the same large developers get awarded and selected time and time again, and i'm just wondering what mohcd is doing to improve capacity in smaller organizations led by black and brown folks so that they're able to compete with the large, nonprofit developers who are awarded pretty much every single contract. this is news to me, but members of the community are on these panels, as well. i had no idea. i've never heard of that before, so that just -- i would love to hear more about that, as well. >> so supervisor, there was $3

. >> chair ronen: got it. so i have a suggestion -- well, before i make my suggestion, i have a question. i've heard fr i've heard, from some of my colleagues, a concern about the cost; the same concern about supervisor walton's and haney's measures. you look at new york, and how it's saved so much more than it's spent, but of course that's after it's been up and running. and i so want this measure to get on the ballot because it is so the right thing to do at the right time, but i'm wondering if you'd considered starting it a little later, similar to what supervisor haney had done for the d.p.w. so it doesn't cost money right away for the city budget where we're not facing an unprecedented deficit. i just want to assuage some of my colleagues' concerns so that it will get on the ballot. at least that's my hope. >> supervisor mar: just like all my colleagues, i share a concern over our huge budget deficit -- unprecedented budget deficit, as well as the important other proposed measures that we heard today. aga
