Thanks to you, we have more officers dedicated to you can wassing we have more officers working in chinatown. We have improved Traffic Safety and safety on muni we will continue to work on. Thank you. applause thank you very much. Thank you. You have to protect the hair. Youre absolutely right. Hello everyone. Im the new executive director and happy to be back in San Francisco. Were looking forward to making it another celebration of a crimefree Lunar New Year. When the event was started 21 years ago it was a time when San Francisco was often fearful because of the extortion and pick pocketing that was common. Until recently extortion cases were in the hundreds and now down to very few. Were thrilled to say the reports of Lunar New Year related crimes directly related to our work and building connections with neighborhoods and businesses and folks like you in the community. I hope you join us as we walk the neighborhood to visit our neighbors and share more tips while we celebrate the Lunar New Year. Well hold another event like this tomorrow at mr. Bread. We hope to see you there. To help launch one of the San Francisco great celebration seasons, a native and someone i have known for a long time, i want to introduce acting mayor london breed. applause thank you. No job too big or too small. laughter thank you commander lazar for protecting my hair today. laughter he doesnt just protect people, he protects hair. Good afternoon everyone. I want to start by thanking sf safe executive director for being here and congratulations on your new role. This is another incredible event. We host it every year. I want to thank and acknowledge, i know many of my colleagues are here and will be speaking, thank you to chief scott for being here and carmen chew. This is a good moment to remind people to be aware. The Lunar New Year brings so many people to San Francisco, but specifically to our great chinatown. And the festivities, although we have a good time and love the excitement of it all, it sadly provides an opportunity for criminals. We need our residents to be vigilant and alert. And please remember, if you see something, say something. Shortly after mayor lees passing i met with a number of chi chinatown leaders and heard some of their concerns and sadly some of the examples going on, including the asian blessing scams that have targeted seniors. To help address the issues im announcing today were adding two foot patrol officers to join the chinatown Central Station from 11 00 a. M. To 9 00 p. M. So a total of seven officers walking the beats and in the area during that time. The two new officers will be joining the one sergeant and four officers of the Housing Units that are already a part of the shifts. And i want to stop and thank all of the Police Officers who are here today who continue to serve and protect our neighborhoods and i want to thank captain yip and the folks at Central Station for the work they put in specifically. By working closely, well make sure the neighborhood is a safe and secure place for all of its residents. I wish you have a safe and prosperous Lunar New Year. speaking chinese thank you. applause i want to introduce one of our most crucial partners for building connections between San Francisco and officers, welcome chief of police mr. Scott. applause thank you. Thank you mayor breed. Im going to be brief and get you guys out of the rain hopefully. Thank you to everybody who came here today and braved the rain to talk about safety for the Lunar New Year. Happy new year. This will be a prosperous year for our city. This is the 21st year that sf safe has given Safety Awareness tips for the Lunar New Year and i know our campaign on Public Safety is really about the people and keeping everybody safe and making sure people dont get victimized. First of all, i want to remind everybody to be aware, we have had some i believe targeting of some of our asian merchants. We need people to be aware of that issue. Im going to talk about a few tips to help people with that. Blessing scams have been an issue in the community and we dont want anybody to fall prey to that. Be aware of strangers, if anybody is asking for money or jewelry or anything like that, you might want to take caution and be aware. Dont follow strangers home and dont bring any to your home. Dont bring strangers to withdraw money or take out valuables in their presence. Before withdrawing large sums of money or valuables, have a discussion with people you trust in your family first. Often times people act on emotion and thats what the scam artists and people who prey on this type of person, thats what they do. They play on emotions. So often times when you talk to other people, you have a chance to collect your thoughts and think twice before you act. Please talk with someone you trust in your family or a good friend before withdrawing large sums of money. Our commitment to providing education for the merchants is ongoing. Well have merchant walks, im going to rollout the calendar, i think over 2,000 of these got it upside down but i think theyll be given to the merchants and it has safety tips as well, those will be readily available to remind people what to do to stay safe. Also, Pedestrian Safety is really of the upmost importance. San francisco through the leadership and vision of mayor ed lee has engaged in vision zero and what that means, we want to cut traffic fatalities down to zero by 2024. We believe what was once a distant vision and dream, were well on our way to make it happen. We need your help. Pedestrian safety is very important, particularly in chinatown. Its a condensed area. Please dont drive distracted and if youre walking dont walk distracted. Those simple things can help reduce accidents and fatalities and be kind to neighbors and friends in terms of allowing the pedestrians to walk about the street freely without having to worry about distracted driving. One of our commitments is Language Access. We know we have a lot of non English Speaking residents and people who visit and live in the city. And sfpd is committeed to giving Language Access to those who dont speak english. So our officers are trained, we have translators and access is a huge thing in the community. We need people to report what they see. We need people to feel comfortable talking to us, the Police Officer and the District Attorneys Office and other people in the criminal justice sxm access is really, really important for us. Our training is ongoing and were working with a lot of stakeholders from the community to make sure the Language Access is not a problem for anybody. I can go on further but im going to stop there. I know we have a lot of people who want to speak today. I want to say thank you for your support and its a pleasure to work with you and lets have a safe chinese Lunar New Year. Thank you. applause throughout his time District Attorney has been a fantastic partner, including prosecuting the people who committed blessing scams. District attorney. Thank you. And happy year of the dog to everyone. Its wonderful to be here today, even with the rain. We were talking that weve had years here where we have to wear sunblock and today we wear as umbrellas. We continue to move forward for Public Safety in this community and other communities. Years ago we would be talking about blessing scams and the first jurisdiction in the country to prosecute the cases successfully and theyre not what they used to be. But nevertheless, we need to continue to be vigilant. Were still having people who are victimized and we depend on the media, specifically the Chinese Media because its a crime that impacts the Chinese Community mostly, our phone number is 4155519595. Its a 24 7 phone. We take cases and we work with our partners at sf safe who are great incredible partners and the police department. But at the end of the day, this is a collaboration and community plays an important role. Happy Lunar New Year and thank you for all you do. I look forward to the parade and the merchant walk today and i just want to take a moment and i know its in all of our hearts, maybe if we can take one moment of silence in memory of mayor lee. This is a community that obviously he had very, very deeply ties to it and we all should recognize that. So if you would take a moment of silence please. Thank you and happy Lunar New Year. applause now i would like to introduce a 30 year district three resident who faithfully represents the businesses and people at city hall, everyones supervisor peskin. Thank you. speaking chinese all right i want to first, i want to thank and welcome sf safe for doing this for over 20 years, what she said is right, we have seen the number of extortion cases drop year after year. Im delighted to continue to do this to stay vigilant. Thank you chief scott and captain yip and men and women of the San Francisco police department. You can see how important it is, from our acting mayor that every member of the board of supervisors, we take it seriously. Let me leave you with one thought to the media to say again and again, report, report, report. If people do not report extortion, we are only as good as the eyes and ears that we have in the community. We have Language Access as you heard, but please, send the message that people should feel comfortable contacting the police, contacting elected officials to keep our community safe. applause she is smart and Solutions Oriented representative for San Francisco, growing up in a family running a Small Business, please welcome miss carmen chew. Im pleased to be here with everybody as well. I think theres a phrase our supervisor didnt say in chinese. He said them all. He didnt say chinese which means have many children to everybody. Happy new year. Im glad to be here. I really think its important for all of us to get together to remind everybody about the importance of reporting crime. We talked about blessing scams, i think our District Attorney spoke about that earlier. I think people know the scammers are very smart. They figure out new ways to trick people and get access to your information and money. So whether it is pretending to be the Consulate Generals Office or blessing scam, be aware and make sure you dont provide personal information to people. chinese applause someone who has worked closely on the issue and long time advocate for chinatown merchants, eddie owl. Hi everyone. Good afternoon. On behalf of the Chinese Chamber of commerce, i want to thank San FranciscoSafe Organization for working to create a safe environment in which our Small Business can thrive. The fight against extortion is extremely important. Especially as Lunar New Year approaches. For over 20 years, will continue support this effort and educate and encourage merchants to report any attempted extortion preparing for the upcoming new year festivities. We must remain aware and work with our local police to ensure the safety of our community. Thank you. speaking chinese speaking chinese come february 16th and join with us new year day. Thank you. Next, another ally in building strong connections across San Francisco cultures. Someone i have been grateful to collaborate with in my career in San Francisco. I want to welcome chinese Newcomer Service director george chan. Hello everyone. Im george chan, the executive director of Newcomer Service center. Thank you for letting us join this event. speaking chinese applause okay. Our next speaker is someone i have had the pleasure of working with, we have worked together on crosscultur crosscultural collaborations, please welcome sarah wong. I want to shout out to all the Community Based organizations, helping out and walking along in chinatown to talk to merchants about safety during new year. I want to shout out to all the special volunteers. Thank you for their work. I wish everyone well, health and happiness in the year of the dog. Thank you. applause now i want to Welcome Assembly member choy, representing chinatown. Good afternoon everyone. Good to see everyone on a classically sunny day in San Francisco. I apologize for being late, i just got here from a floor session in the assembly. But thank you for being part of the important safety announcement. This is a press conference i have taken part in virtually every year ive been in office. Its so important to not just wish everyone a happy Lunar New Year but make sure were safe. I know there have been speakers who have talked about fraud and blessing scams but its so important to get the word out. I want to take a moment to mention another safety issue that has been threatened to our immigrant communities and that is the recent suggestion and announcement by president trumps immigration authorities that they may be coming down into Northern California in the coming weeks and months to do widespread raids of our communities. Just this past hour, in sacramento, our attorney general announced we will be certainly enforcing a law that i authored this past year, that is the immigrant Worker Protection act to ensure that if ice agents come knocking on the doors of work places like restaurants, that employ many immigrant workers, employers are required to ask for subpoenas or judicial warrants before allowing the ice agents to do raids on their work places. I want to help educate the public about this because we are expecting raids imminently and its important we are prepared as a community that knows how important our immigrant families and workers are in San Francisco and in california. But with that, i want to wish everybody a happy Lunar New Year and thank you to the organizers and safe for keeping us safe. Hello. I think were all going to come together on the board of supervisors. We want to wish you all a happy new year. speaking chinese happy new year to everyone. Im a proud representative, im Hillary Ronen and i want to wish everyone a safe and happy Lunar New Year. speaking chinese i want to thank project safe for doing this and well be walking in the second chinatown San Francisco doing the same thing with our merchants. Happy Lunar New Year to everyone. speaking chinese good afternoon everyone. Im commissioner safai. I want to thank the District Attorney and police chief from being here today, i am a true believer on deterring crime and what cameras can do and we saw that firsthand in our community. Weve had a wave of home breakins and one of the things that is very helpful in determining the crime are the Home Security cameras. I want to encourage people to think about deterring crime. Happy Lunar New Year and year of the dog. Have much luck and fortune in the new year. Im jane kim and im proud to represent the downtown area, including the market and tenderloin and treasure island. I want to as everyone else had remind everybody to be safe in one of the most important events here in San Francisco, celebrating our new year. I want to recognize sf safe and sfpd for their partnership. This is my eighth year participating in this press conference and helping hundreds of people remain safe during if festivities. Good luck to all of our residents. I want to thank and recognize paul yip but our captains working the parades and festivities, darrell fong who is here today, i know will be working closely and from the tenderloin station, well be working in concert together to make sure residents and workers are safe as we celebrate the year of the dog. And finally in regards to making sure that were all aware of whats going on with the blessing scams, i want to appreciate San Francisco police chief for working with our officer and supervisor Aaron Peskins office to convene a meeting to make sure sfpd is putting the resources it has available to investigating the scams as well. We want our constituents to report, but we want to make sure were investigating and bringing people to justice to make sure they are not taking advantage of the most vulnerable in our community. Happy new year. applause okay. So i want to introduce Malcolm Young from the Chinatown Community development center. I got it. All right you got it okay. I know, exactly. Im going to make this quick. All right, so everybody, and the reverend isnt here but i stole it from him and were going to do it every year. Slow down for chinatown slow down for chinatown one more time. Slow down for chinatown all right thank you. Pedestrian safety is key during chinese new year, there will be people every where and its critical we watch out for people so no one gets hurt. One more time, slow down for chinatown thank you everybody. So in closing, im so proud to be here with all these passionate and Community Oriented leaders. Our united efforts can help make San Francisco a safer place for all residents. We know a key part of this is being a part of the community, when people know each other they look out for each other. When you stay aware and talk to your neighbors, you help protect your neighborhood and cities. Before closing i want to say thank you to everyone in attendance and coming out in this weather. I appreciate it. Thank you very much. Brian larkin. Brendan mcnulty alexander tonisson. Okay. At this point i would like to adjourn this meeting momentarily in observe the service and county that mayor lee gave for the city and council. Well resume the meeting. This meeting is now in session. Item two, opportunity for the public to comment on any matters within the jurisdiction that are not on the agenda. Good morning committee members, im dr. Derek kerr, a whistle blower. Why do organizations retaliate against whistle blowers . Its because whistle blowers have inside information about wrong doing and there by represent a threat. Whistle blowers are viewed as Insider Threats. Unfortunately the Whistle Blower Programs Quarterly Report issued in december includes a bulletin warning about Insider Threats. We are told these are employees who negatively affect organizational assets. That definition could qualify whistle blowers as Insider Threats because it depends on who defines what is a negative impact on an organization. The term Insider Threat is derived from National Security programs that were installed after the Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden revelations. Importantly, it applies to intelligence agencies that handle classified information, not to city agencies that handle mostly public records. This bulletin targets disgruntled employees without the difference of those who want to fix a problem and those who are criminals. Even speaking out is labelled as a red flag. The bulletin doesnt mention non disgruntled managers who contented contentedly harass subborednants, although they are true Insider Threats. The Whistle Blower Program promotes retaliation and deteres lawful disclosers of misconduct. So i hope youll Pay Attention to this idea when the whistle blower presents to you at the next meeting. Thank you. Any further Public Comment . Item three approval with possible modification of the minutes of november 20th, 2017, meeting. So is there a motion to approve . I move to approve. Second. All in favor . Aye. Public comment. Public comment on the minutes . Seeing no Public Comment, the minutes are approved. Item four presentation from public works regarding the 2008 and 2016 health bonds and possible action by the committee in response to such presentation. Can i go ahead, are you ready . Yeah. Good morning members of the cgoboc committee. Im here to give improvement Bonds Program from 2008 and health and safety from 2016. Let me go ahead and start with the 2008 program first, its a little shorter and hopefully wrap that up quickly. In this first slide, just wanted to point out that the original bond authorization was 887. 4 million, the new amount of 900. 2 million reflects additional interest acure for 10 years and has been appropriated to the bond program. For all intended purposes, the rebuild bond program has been completed just as a quick recap. The zuckerberg General Hospital was completed in may of 2016. Patients moved in and then the final project close out was completed that same year in july. The last remaining task before we can close out the hospital project at least in terms of oshpod is final reconciliation of permit fees and at this point, the team is working through the documents to get that completed most likely the First Quarter of 2018. I want to mention one item, there has been ongoing litigation between web core builder, the general contractor and one of the subcontractors. Web core builder has served the city with a cost complaint, primarily due to subcontractors claim of errors of omission. At this point, the claim has been forwarded to the city Attorneys Office for further review and direction. Just a quick recap of some of the accomplishments beside the new hospital being completed, the team has also been progressing three of the larger projects including the San Francisco building five tunnel and connection project, m. P. C seismic upgrade and low voltage installation project. All three are in project closeout phase. And the teams goal is to close out all three projects by First Quarter of 2018 with the remaining funds in the project, the team continue to work closely with the department of Public Health on any additional projects that involve operational enhancement and or patient safety. And then just moving on to the last slide, the only thing i want to point out, the total expenditures to date is 98 of the bond authorized to date. As i mentioned earlier, the remaining funds will be used to closeout the project, primarily focus on the permit fees as well as delivering any additional projects requested by the client. Should i go ahead with the 2016 or wait for questions for this program . Lets talk about 2008 first. Id like to why dont you start first. You know, i didnt have questions joe, i just wanted to report to the committee on the phone discussion we had last week about this project and closing out there of. I want to elaborate a little bit more on the subcontractor claim that is outstanding from khss, joe . Correct. Against web core and the action that web core has taken to involve the city. Im just going to say based on what joe told me, it doesnt sound like a real strong claim. Joe gave me the contact name of the woman, the person in the city Attorneys Office, elaine oneil. Ken, do you know her . Okay. Ill talk to you later then, about the scope of the claim and it sounds like whats called a total cost claim and theyre going to have a real hard time prevailing with that based on my experience. So as i said, i will follow up with ms. Oneil with the particulars and follow up. What is the total financial risk of this claim . 1820 million . Thats correct. Thats an estimate. I have not seen the actual documents from the subcontractor but there has been discussions of up to 18 million claims from the subcontractor. On a subcontract worth about 100 million . Thats correct. They have a tough road. But this is not a risk to the bond program itself, the bond program doesnt have 1820 Million Dollars left. Is that interpretation correct . Anybody know . I mean, i was just looking at this, its june 30th financial report. Back then there was a balance of about 12. 2 million. I can quickly talk about the 12 million remaining in the project, the biggest portion of the 12 million is for set aside for soft costs, for remaining project management and the permit fees. We anticipate about 34 Million Dollars of fees that need to be paid out still. Whats remaining outside of the 5 million is about 3. 6 million for construction contracts. Theres about 3 million of additional setaside for fall on projects and then about 3. 2 million of funds that are setaside for audit, csa services and another 1. 1 for program contingency. Do we know the legal fees being paid to pursue or defend against the claim . Are those being paid by bond funds . To the extent that the project Program Still has funds, we are allocating the City Attorney fees toward the project. This is my observation, in the very unlikely case that this suit against the city prevails, i would think that the contract is really between the contractor and the city. They dont care who pays the fund. If we have depleted the bond funds i would assume it goes to general funds, im not a lawyer, but were all at risk here. Further on that, the claim that brought is against the general contractor, i would say a good part of the exposure is to web core and not the city. Web core has named the city but it doesnt mean the city has that much responsibility inevitably. Even if its 5 of the value of the claim, they would name the city. A number like this, and given that they have already had some change orders that web cores that given via the city, the city has given via web core some change orders to kksns, this is a total cost claim, you guys have abandoned the job, im speculating a bit. Based on what i know, it will be hard to prevail. But again ill follow up with ms. Oneil. So given that brian is following up on the last issue with the bond and talking about it for about 10 years, i would like to propose that this doesnt make our agenda again unless brian brings it back with this issue. Ill follow up but i think we have heard from joe that theyre really close to closing it out, even though the final amount of close out with oshpod, any other agencies . Not to my knowledge. And the hospitals and service. Thats correct. Only. Thats what we like to hear. And has been for years. I think its agreed that pending this report that you talked about earlier, what is the next step we would deem to formally close this bond. The project on the bond. I think we had a final closing report in the past . I would have to check with our auditors to see if they scheduled this one for a closeout audit or anything of the type. Tonia will be here later this morning and might be able to let us know that. That would be the last item that would logically come to your calendar. I think the decision of this committee is pending anything that blows up, we will follow the normal kind of bond closing procedures that would be in reporting style and not be presented to this meeting for this discussion. Agreed . Yep. Sounds good to me. Thank you. Im done. Okay. So with that said, let me proceed on to the second half of the presentation, the 2016 Public Health and safety bond program. Good morning again. The public Health Safety bond program quickly consists of six project components that span across three departments, Public Health, Supportive Housing and the lions share for dph of 272 million, homeless support housing 20 million. Moving on to executive summary, the teams have been continued to focus on completing the design and permitting of the various bond projects with the goal of starting construction this year with the early part of next year, including seven of the 19 core projects that are part of the zuckerberg component. There are six fire stations in the neighborhood fire station component and 440 turk street for the site of the new homeless resource center. In terms of next bond sales, the team is working on the cash flow analysis so that we can sit down with the office of Public Finance and talk about the next bond sales. One of the risks in terms of risks for the entire program i think continues to be unprecedented bidding project that all projects are seeing probably due to lack of sufficiently skilled trained individual and subcontractors bidding. And the recent fires have made the situation worse because its pulling contractors to the north bay. Another risk that weve identified thats putting a strain on the Bond CommunityHealth Center component has to do with the poor performance for many of the existing Community Health centers. This poor seismic performance is necessitating the need for projects to add seismic retrofit as part of the base scope for projects at this point. And jumping to update for each of the individual bond components. First one is the zuckerberg hospital component. Overall budget and schedule remains the same as previously shown. Expenditures have been fairly low, primarily because activities have been on the design phase of all the projects. The team will be starting construction in the First Quarter of 2018. We currently have two projects that are in the award phase one is ready to be ntped, the second project which is right on the line of being awarded, unfortunately weve had to deal with a bid protest, so we had to rebid the project. This is our first time rebidding, were in the process of dealing with the bid protest again, only have two contractors, so you can kind of see the bid environment at this point. So thats the two projects for zuckerberg. The team is working on rsq, were intending to on board a construction manager general contractor to help deliver the next four projects, including seismic retrofit, Department Relocation and it infrastructure. All four projects amount to about 3040 Million Dollars of construction scope. The idea behind using the cmgc, minimizing schedule impacts to hospital operations. The zuckerberg component is completely different from the rebuild program primarily because all the work were doing is in a functional hospital, every project we deliver requires close coordination with the Clinical Operations and theres a lot of call them domino affects, in order for one project to start, it requires others to get out of the way. Were going to have the project is working on a lot of enabling projects that in order to allow the Construction Projects to proceed. Moving on to the next slide, this is the southeast Health Center component. Its located off of third street and keith street in the bayview neighborhood. The team is working on the design phase of a new two story 22,000 square feet new building adjacent to the facility. Construction anticipated to start in 2019. Here is kind of the most updated rendering we have for the new building whereas as a matter of fact this afternoon well present to the city Design Review for the first phase with cdr. Okay. And moving on to the Community Health center component. Theres two projects that the team is primarily focused on currently. Cash emission Health Center at 17th and pawn and maxime hall at pierce and ellis in the western edition neighborhood. Both are targeted to Start Construction december of 2018 in a couple of months. As i mentioned earlier, one of the huge impacts or risks on this component is the fact that we have added seismic scope to both Health Centers. Both projects have been deemed to be a seismic hazard rating of three plus to four. Four is a building that is subject to partial or total collapse in the event of a major earthquake. We did similar assessment on chinatown public and the results came back very similar with seismic hazard rating of four as well. So what that means is chinatown public will most likely be deferred to a future bond project so the team can focus on delivering a complete project for cash emission on maxime hall. Moving on to the facility, i do want to point out this slide does include a revised component budget 48. 6, showing allocation of 5. 1 to the fire station to adf allowing the team to deliver a complete adf. The original project budget was inadequate, it didnt include enough funds to address the conditions and market condition risk. So the team has been working closely with the neighborhood fire station project manager and the Fire Department so that the 5. 1 million can be allocated to adf. So at this point, the adf project is moving to 100 construction document in the Second Quarter of 2018 with construction to start around august of this year. And then moving on to the neighborhood fire station component, likewise, the project budget shows a reduction of 5. 1 million which has been allocated to the facility. Overall, the Fire Department budget remains 58 million, there really has been no change to the overall budget, just more of a reallocation within the two components. At this point, there are six fire stations identified for the seismic improvement, which includes the host tower removal scopes. That will then improve the earthquake performance of the six fire stations. The next big milestone, because of some historical issues associated with the fire stations, is to go through an Environmental Impact report process, which will take approximately a year to be completed and with that approval will allow the construction to start. And then the last component well talk about today is the homelessness and Homeless Service sites. The current project thats been in development for a while is the 440 turk street, this includes the purchase of the area of the space i guess. And also on board a designbuild contractor to help deliver this critical project. The current schedule is to have the rfq advertised by the spring of 2018. And then the last slide i have is a slide regarding the status of the budget and financial plan, as i mentioned earlier, look at the percentages across the board of the components, relatively low and the reason for that is because its primarily driven by expenditure toward design fees. As we move from design to construction, there will be a ramp up of expenditures for construction contract that will be awarded. So at this point, that concludes my presentation for the Public Health and safety bond program. Im here as well as other members of my project Management Team that can help specific questions you have about each bond component. Joe, i wanted to get a quick review of what is included in project controls, you have that pie chart. Okay. Is this in general or particular well, i have to say in general, it looks like the range is a quarter to a third of the construction costs. I wanted to see what was in there. So in project controls, this is everything outside of the construction contracts. So it includes all the design fees associated with design of the project, includes the Construction Management support services, which also includes additional inspections, whether for special inspection, in particular for the oshpod components, theres a layer of
