encampment resolution team and the homeless outreach team. and navigation centers are a key component to the success of our ability to resolve encampmeants off the streets. excited for the opportunity to open at 125 bayshore, 125 bed facility, focusings unsheltered people experiencing homelessness and folks in the immediate area. like other navigation centers, this will have 24-hour staffing and operations. this means there is no line-up outside before curfew time. the 24-hour site activation will improve safety in the neighborhood and every shift will include safety personnel. terms of the facilities, the feature -- features of the facilities certainly include dormitories, bathrooms and showers, laundry, dining and community space, service space and storage. we found these components are essential to a functioning, a well functioning navigation center. the drawing is a little hard to tell, but you can see the layout that public works has proposed for the site. in terms of community engagement, we held a community meeting last week in the neighborhood and h

center. >> this pilot project is for people living on the street what makes it different the navigationenter is able to accommodate homeless encampments lowell u allowing people to keep their pets and bring their personal bloonlz. >> the full realization that people don't want to be homeless not refuse services but from the services don't meet them and not relevant they're not going to be successful if you look at the budget losses we've got a community sacrifice important people to get food and laundry we're standing next to the bathrooms it is designed to be a dynamic and brief residential experience where right of on this site city staff to connect you to homeless places to return to family dine is up for medi-cal and all those things that are complicated for people. >> the other exciting thing city agencies come on site and provided the services for folks this is existed to see when the goal of streamlining a a whole processes of getting people on go gentle assistance into housing as much as possible. >> way totally different you can come and agree as please and get laundry services

i get the navigation center. i'm not going to debate the need for beds, particularly as the rain and the cold comes. it's very cold already right now. i'm just not understanding that. second point, i went to both meetings at the end of july and beginning of august. it is true that there was mention that hsh was considering shower and laundry facilities on site, but one of the frustrations that the community had at the end of the meeting is they didn't feel they got a clear proposal. at no point, do i remember hearing an access point that would be rfp'd out to a nonprofit. i think those are two different things. what i heard in the august 15 meeting is that because there would be an hsh office there that naturally people who are searching for services would come on site and you would, of course, want to provide some emergency services on site. what i'm hearing today is different from what i heard a few months ago. i think that while i support this, i don't want to say that i don't -- i understand the need for that

center for the rest of their lives or just bounce them between navigation center to street? i mean, if the housing isn't there, then, you just build navigation centers for them, and they're going to live in the navigation center to five -- indefinitely like they are in some of the shelters? some of the shelters, people are staying two years. but i guess considering the healing that's coming up regarding the navigation centers, the navigation centers are literally being sued because they did not -- they're violating the standards of care. the city and county of san francisco has standards of care, and they just -- it seems like the city attorney is trying to fight very hard and excessively to say that they are not liable for the contract or the standards of care. we're going back to that paradigm that people are staying in the tents because when they go to the shelter system, they get abused. the women are phrase of getting rained, so they're refusing to go to the shelter system, because they get abused. >> supervisor: thank you for your comments. next speak

>> this is going to be a combination of efforts including opening up new navigation centers, expanding the wilt shelter program and those navigation centers will be open for years not just the winter. but expanding the winter shelter program to get more individuals off the streets and we're looking at expanding our master lease housing program as well as block leasing housing and our re housing programs so this is a multi faceted approach in order to get 1,000 people off the streets as quickly as possible. >> and then, in a typical, well, with these two examples for instance, in a typical winter, in a year how much do we actually ramp up in regards to again, i guess churches that volunteer to open their doors up in the winter. >> yes, so the winter shelter program traditionally moves from church to church during the winter and it houses 70 people and during each night and people can stay for seven nights and they can reup their stays if they like to but when we know there's going to be two or three days of severe rainfall we expand and essentially are putting mats on the floors ex and pann

>> the hot team can refer people to the navigation center, those stays are limited to 30-days. the majority of people staying there end up on the street after 30-days. when we look at the people going to the navigation center, the numbers are not significant. we look at the numbers coming out. the persistence of homelessness is a problem of political will until the public understands the city needs to invest in housing, this problem is going to continue. i think we need the police department to educate constituents about this instead of saying police can get people into services or perpetuating the idea the members of the public have that polices is the solution, it is crucial to be honest with the public. >> president turman: is the police department perpetuating that idea? are we telling the people that policing the homeless is what we are here for, we can get you into these services? that is not us. that is another department. as much as i agree with what you are saying, i am glad to do our part. what you are talking about is beyond our control. all we can do -- effect the or

when we went to visit the navigation center that we opened in record time, the way he interacted with the residents of the center, the naturalness, care, concern, dignity, humility, the ease at which he related with people, you cannot fake. there is no faking that type of interaction. and it really gave me a level of respect for this mayor that i had not had before and that i will always, always carry with me. i want to say thank you, mayor lee, for everything that you did for this city for 40 years. for your attention and love for the people of san francisco, even the poorest people, for working with me hand in hand and always giving me that chance, even though we were and have been on opposite sides of the aisle. to his wife, anita, and to his beautiful daughters, breanna and tonya, we're just with you in this time of grieving and i just want to personally send you my deep love and appreciation. >> clerk: thank you, supervisor. supervisor yee. and then we'll go to the roster. >> councillor yee: i didn't know how corny his jokes were until i went to ireland in 2013 and i -- it's unbe

then we identified the navigation centre as city policy is the best of breed in providing care to the homeless population and we found a site at 25th street and we even got the local neighbourhood residents and the community organisations to support the navigation centre. it was a long process, but it was a very, very rewarding one. and the awardees spent many, many hours doing the hard work that is involved in encampment removals so we're very proud that they were given very prestigious award. i would like to announce that we're having a special meeting january 30. this will be at the -- the open session will be at 3:15 at pier one in the bayside conference rooms. thank you very much. >> there any public comment on the executive director's report? any public comment? being none, public comment is closed. commissioners report. >> are we showing these slides? >> you want to start showing them now? yes. >> go ahead. >> staff has prepared some photo images of our be loved mayor edwin lee. we know the port commissioners would like the say some words about our former mayor. >> why don't we

together the corps's navigation -- together the corps' navigation in flood risk management accounted for more than 70% of the agency's annual solo works appropriations. but the corps has jurisdiction as we know over any number of critical civil works programs including hydro power, they include recreation, they include emergency management and water supply. unfortunately, the mid 1980s federal funding for new project construction had begun to decline steadily. with this trend, the corps's inactions have shifted to operations, to maintenance, to rehabilitation of existing infrastructure. and a backlog of deferred maintenance has continued to grow ever since. as a result, much of the corps infrastructure is now exceeding its useful life plan. if you're sitting on this side of the dais, as members of this committee, what would you be doing about it? and we'll start with you, steve, please. >> i think that the situation you described is incredibly debilitating to the people who work at the corps of engineers. they are, many of them, quite skilled, quite talented, quite able, and yet they
