Does anyone in the audience want to address the commission at this point on this item . There we go. Please state your name for the record. I am Patrick Josiah bell with the bay view on his area. I am really opposed to the city bill and compliance. I have asked them about who does the compliant compliance for the hiring for the minority. I have been informed that they dont have anybody that really goes out to check. To see if the contractors are doing more than a good faith effort. I think a good faith effort is a bunch of crap. It is what minority people have been facing all of their lives. I have asked the workforce people for a monitor, to go out and check. Ive asked them to do what we call random audits. Our response to random audits. This city is spending millions of dollars and nobody randomly orders these companies to see if they are actually in compliance. We rely on the contractors to do good faith. I know contractors lie. The contractors lied about their auditing and what they had done. So, i think the commission needs to address this issue of having independent audits, random audits. I told the people, from the Mayors Office, that once the word gets out, hey, you could be audited. Im not saying audit everybody, but a random audit. The word will spread so quickly, the compliance will come in order that people would stop making a goodfaith effort and start doing what they agreed to do in the contract. Thank you. Is there anyone else in the audience that would like to address the commission . The matter is closed for commission questions. At this point, we can address anyone that has questions, comments . Commissioner brackett . And have a couple of questions. There is comments about 50 local construction hiring by our and by trade. What percentage are we at currently . On and over no on an overall basis, 25 for laborers and carpenters. The other trades, what includes what we consider to be a lot of trades that the placement, or the dispatch of individuals from the unions, it is 17 . Commissioner brackett which unions does not comprise of . Can you list them out . I can list a few, but i thint position to answer that. Okay. Thank you commissioners. First i want to thank the issue being raised. We definitely want to engage in the community. Its actually something we are proud of to work with the community to figure out how to improve the numbers. Specifically to answer the questions about the trade that has specific requirements, electricians, plumbers, sheet autoworkers. No matter what we do, there is a process that the union has set in place to get people into the union to make sure that individuals go through a process to get referred out directly through dispatching process. Since it was a collective bargaining agreement. What we have done, as city bill than what we have been working with the various trades. For example, using electricians. We have a direct interview. People who graduate from a program can bypass some of the initial process and they can go directly to interview for the electricians to get into that craft. That is one example on how we have been working to try to basically get our residents to do that craft. We continue to work in improving the program. Unfortunately, we only have two cycles per year, 50 per cycle. What we have done is worked on special training. Working with community recruit for example. We have a special going on right now for the ironworkers. Some of the things we have been trying to engage with is working with the community to see where the opportunities are and get them access into this trade. Especially, i will be following up to schedule a meeting to employ what we have done on a compliance end. And doing audits on these companies which we have been doing. Im going to schedule meetings to go into detail and get any other recommendations we have for the program. Would you mind giving us a synopsis overview of what that compliance looks like for the record . Yes. Looking at where the performance of payroll is. Tracking whether the contractors have identified, in a preconstruction meeting. That is attending a meeting. Submit their workforce forms as part of the partnership that ocii has. We review what their hiring needs are so we can see if they meet the 50 . They do not identify that they have to meet local residents. They have to submit a hiring plan on how they are going to meet that plan. Once they start work we have monthly meetings. These are site meetings that have been inferred. We meet with contractors on a monthly basis to review if they have met those steps and if they hired anybody, any local resident. If they have not done so, they have not done or demonstrated in good faith we schedule them into the office to meet oneonone to see what they have done and make recommendations on how they can solve the corrective action. Afterward they submit to us on various documentations needed to demonstrate whether they are in compliance or not. Commissioner brackett what are the penalties and ramifications for being not in compliance . Im going to give that to ray from ocii to talk about their processes. The compliance aspect is spelled out within our workforce contracting plan that allows the executive director, first and foremost an arbitration provision within the policies that calls out arbitration proceedings, if there is a dispute regarding their effort. It does allow the the executive director to stop a job. We have not had that particular instance. Its really through that process. Commissioner brackett have one last quick question. Of the 50 per cycle do you get a full, or is it partial, or how many in the last year . Do you get 50 participants each time . Actually it ranges, give or take. In this current cycle we accepted 54. The last cycle we accepted 48. It is really close to the 50 per cycle for our city build academy. [inaudible] we try our best, and also we have a special emphasis on choosing females into the class. Commissioner brackett i noticed in one portion there is a mention currently being under budget. You guys are currently operating under budget. Is there room within that budget to increase the number of participants that you guys can accept per year . The budget has increased through the years. I believe there is some additional Staff Members that city build is hiring. Certainly as our needs dictate based on the contract that we have, they would place Additional Resources onto them. I dont think its a matter of resources as an example. The chase center which has been quite active and nearing completion. Those resources certainly can be dedicated when chase completes, those resources would certainly be reallocated to other projects and other City Projects as well. Commissioner scott . Commissioner scott a couple of things, i did attend the graduation with the chase center last year. I was very impressed with 40 graduates, minorities, and the majority of them were from our bayview centers in San Francisco. The social levels impressed me as well. Homeless now in homes. Folks that could not afford to stay in the city now can. I was impressed with even the diversity. I was impressed with sunnydale, with with Hunters Point, bayvi bayview. I was impressed with the male, female range and the class that the women worked their way into and how pleased they were with it. I am not impressed that we are still under the number. I am not impressed that the accountability. I would say with mr. Kims words saying he would like to meet with master build, and if theres any others that can sit with you and help you work that up to a better standard. That would be a great thing. I also went to your open house which was a full attended, and i went to every section where women were learning welding. The electricals, the carbon t. The men and women, the diversity of the group. I was extremely impressed with that. Those dots were working towards graduation, the jobs and the fact that they are not just being trained here at your site, but they go to other sort sites in the bay area. Id do want to see this go on, because it is building up our men and women for generations. It is giving them the hope and the skills, the income, economically that is much needed. I would say, if you follow through on the things that need improvement, you certainly have my vote to approve this. If i can provide some context to the numbers. It seems to be a prevailing theme that the percentage is l low. While it doesnt meet the 50 , it is rather significant. I say that for the chase and as an example. Over 3. 8 million hours have been put onto the project. And, with todays construction environment being very active and the local resident pool in the construction field you can see that 50 is rather ambitious in that respect. Again, overall with our project this past six months, i believe 2 million hours have been performed on our projects. So, 25 of that is still very significant. I was just talking with mr. Lee to maybe add one additional thing that i think is something of initial value that we can provide through the partnership. That is just knowing who the men and women are that are out there looking for work, but not working. Kudos to mayor breed for our newest commissioner, commissioner brackett. We knew you were going to be pushing for answers and information for us to make sure in the words of mayor that no one gets up to behind. Thank you and welcome. Doctor scott is right. The Chase Center Training represents something we sought to do as we saw percentages brought. When we were having conversations ten years ago, during the redevelopment era. The Unemployment Rate hit 10. 1 in january of 2010. 40,000 men and women, citywide looking for work but not working. And then our low Income Community our rates were more like 3040 of unemployment. Looking here today, unemployment just hit for the first time in the citys history three weeks ago hit 1. 9 unemployment. Its the first time in the history of the city that we are under 2 . That 45,000 number is now 11,000 approximately. 11,000 men and women out there looking for work. I think we all agree, no one left behind because we still know in are southeast neighborhoods in fillmore, mission, lakeview, we have to make sure to tell you that, because we just got some data from the state that shows that the pockets of unemployment that we know are concentrated because we know unemployment discriminate. Those pockets are nine 1214. This is across average of 2018. That is the highest unemployment as far as any zip codes in the city. As far zip codes in the city with the highest looking for work. We just got this data on july 3. We are arty putting it to work. This is no additional cost to ocii. This is what we are doing to further your goals area the goals on the percentage, a goodfaith policy creates limitations. What we appreciate about your staff and your leadership, u. S. Commissioners, as you provide the push and the catalyst to be creative. If the percentage is not there. The Chase Center Training. The 32 minute women who came in from our neighborhoods build that arena and now have their career going. That creativity helps us and bring them into the industry. Joshua would you be willing to take a group, on eight tour of your site as well as the chase center so they can see what the numbers in actuality look like at that 17 . Absolutely. That is what is needed. If we just see it on paper we dont see who is out there, who is benefiting of that percenta percentage, then it leaves you feeling not hopeless, but just questionable about the performance and the need. Absolutely, we would ask doctor scott is with the agreement we could invite our Committee Members from the pac a, joyce armstrong, everybody from the cic if it is the will of the commission. We would love to do that. That would be the answer. Absolutely. I have a couple of followup questions. The first one is for mr. Lee. We are talking about overall attainment, right . 25 laborers and carpenters, 17 others. Can you give us a read on hunters. . What does that look like . The bayview Hunters Point is in the mid 30s. Low to mid 30s. There is greater emphasis certainly in the bayview hunte hunters. Ellipsis Hunters Point. Commissioner brackett i did remember that. What about the verification of those numbers . The concept of audit, random audits, surprise audits, i dont think that is like something new. The city does that, the controller, maybe we will talk to the controller on the next item. The controller does that, you know randomly by legislation, takes local businesses or any business and then looks at what they are doing. Is that something we can do, something we can do at the Controllers Office if we are not doing it directly . Or are we . We are doing it. I believe it resulted from comment about close to two years ago possibly. There has been activities undertaken by city build. Can we get a rape art on what those have been . I mean, it is a public record, i presume. Correct. The next annual report is augus. I will provide context in that report. Okay. I had a couple of other questions. One has to do with the way the proposal, the resolution, just to be clear. In my six years of the commissioner, the mou with oewd and other city departments have come annually, foz on front of us and then of course we look at it again during the budget process. I am understanding that annual individual review that we are doing right now, we would not do . You would continue to do it in the context of the budget. Certainly the reports that we provide on a semiannual basis. It was really to reduce paper, because it is routine in that respect. There is a provision that allows termination by either party or mutual consent. We thought it was more effective because the item does get presented on annual basis during the budgetary process. As a commissioner, i dont have a problem in doing it that way. Ive got plenty of other things to do. I want to make sure that the commission knows each time there is an opportunity to review the scope of the services, because we may want to enhance the scope or change of the skull. We wont want that or whatever appropriate time clearly adding money is one piece of it. But adding scope is another piece of it. We take input during the semiannual reports as well as the budget process. We need to make sure, and then remind fault folks and use the monitoring process to allow for feedback. You can always call me, as well. Speaking about enhancing the scope, have another question. I mention this to our executive director. I dont see it here but im going to bring it up. It was brought up unintentionally. If im interested in ive been interested for a while and having some of our staff or our sister agencies staff in this case oewd and bark on what i call a custom census of job classifications in starting, i would propose for the reasons that were mentioned. We have asked and im glad theres new data. I would love to see that data. We have been asking the Unemployment Rate citywide is this amazing 1. 9. I still have not heard the number for baby boomers point or mission bay. With bayview Hunters Point if its the highest, is at a high meaning 3 , 10 , when you do a custom census you look at the job classifications not just on construction but what are the capabilities of the employable folks and the employed folks in the area. In this case bayview Hunters Point. And then we can start thinking about Workforce Development, not just on construction which sounds like we are doing well but in other parts. This is something that may lee wanted to do before he passed away. He mentioned it to me this commission has to begin to look beyond construction. The supervisor and send it me just recently. When we do Workforce Development we have to think beyond construction. Dont forget construction, but we have to look beyond. The only way were going to do it is with a custom census. We need to have money allocated. Money is important is that something we can task at the Mayors Office of Workforce Development to do . Absolutely. Im reading through the raw data. It is for the average, again this, the thing about unemployment theres two ways to reported, locally, the state of california reports a certain way and then the feds report a certain way. The number we consistently hear is the state number. The number im saying now is citywide of. 9 . Its at 4. 5 unemployment. That means according to this. Remember everyones is not working. This is individuals looking for work but not working. There is a factor of several times more who are not working. That could be being shut out of work because of the failures of the justice system. That could be limited english, that could be work authorizati authorization. That could be also just the challenge we try to work through when we think about what does Workforce Development look like in this time of record low unemployment versus record highend employment. It means looking at barriers like the challenge of living in Public Housing more Affordable Housing where there is income limitations. There is unfortunate conundrum which is about moving up economically in terms of selfsufficiency and going from subsidized housing to owning your own home going out and renting an apartment. The challenges with the price of housing so high there is a big jump between subsidized rent payments are then going to rent your own place that we are seeking a challenge for. Going to work is going to make your rent go up. For every dollar that your rent goes up its two more dollars in your pocket. Talking about that at some of the work we are trying to do to advance what workforce looks like. Back to the data it tells us 94124, tells us on average last year there were approximately individuals working but not working. When we look at 94112, which is lakeview. Working to open up a new acces access. For the first. , a job Center Lakeview here in the coming months. It is appropriate, because while the percentage is lower than 914243 versus 4. 5 . In lakeview there is 1590 individuals. We would be more than happy. Again this is just additional. We are grateful for the funding we get its interesting, its a challenge for all of us to leave no one behind to not say 1. 9 is a great number when its 1. 5 in other neighborhoods. We can definitely do this for you and there is a lot we can do beyond construction. The board of supervisors just gave more resources. Based on the terms of entitlement on the implementation of your policy. That is a policy we use to get entrylevel referrals for disadvantage san franciscans to get into some of these other nonconstruction additional courier building opportunities that are out there. Particularly through your training program. We were talking to maria about the potential out there in the coming year. Thank you. Excellent. Thank you. Just one thing. In all fairness, i would like to just state. I had the opportunity of going to communities graduation where they gave Wraparound Services through the whole 11 week process getting our people ready for work, and onthejob. Amazingly they said historically, it was the largest class in the history of San Francisco. The majority of the class were people of color, men and women. I had the opportunity of going to the access point for a whole month in and out of the office, sitting, listening, and talking to different people. I got to hear the men and women, the joy of learning how to work the computers. The peace and confidence of doing it because of being walked with hand in hand. That was the response when we told them about other places of employment and training. In knowing that we do need to pursue more opportunities to do all types of work. Many of our young people want to do the cosmetology side. And making their own clothes. We do want to see you do more differently, and better, with your side of it area there are other opportunities that are springing up and doing a good job. I wanted to make a comment. First of all, i do want to thank city build and all of the other different agencies that Work Together to do this training and Workforce Development and all of the underrepresented communiti communities. The one thing that i do want to see happen is that these organizations work with the community as well as the. , not much in a contentious way but more of a cooperative way. And then listening to the Public Comment as well as a comment from the Different Department heads, i am hearing from both sides that there is some areas of improvement around transparency. One of the ways that that can be alleviated is not just to take the members on tours of the properties, which actually provide them the. With an actual reporting of what is happening in terms of compliance. Maybe whether it be quarterly, or by annually, but letting the. No specific governing body in the area and also overseeing some of the Workforce Development stuff what is happening. I know joshua was saying how these reports are coming forth. I think letting the. Be informed of what is happening and what is changing in terms of the workforce. I would love to see this program and expand doubled the numbers and not just 100 people, seeing if we can maybe do 200. Identifying additional gaps on more zip codes that need this training to prime that pipeline. Like you said, we are not meeting the 50 . Even though that is a lofty goal, we should be doing everything we can to get more people in the loop and get to those direct, i think you said it was i direct interview stage. Okay. Thank you. Any other comments . Commissioners, the last comment i want to make is i want to express my gratitude to the commissioners, the ocii staff. Just for context. Ocii has the highest placement and gets the most for local residents. I definitely want to thank you for all of the support you have been providing to the program. As part of the gratitude, we have a chili cookoff that is happening this saturday. Its an alumni get, full of graduates, over 1400 graduate that graduated the last 13 years. Not all of them are going to come back. We are expecting at least 200 people, ten contractors are cooking the chili. You get to vote to see if the chili taste good or not. They are going to get the prize, the grand prize is dinner for 4 at the house of prime ribs. That is our appreciation to them. These are contractors of ocii projects across the city. Its a way for us to think these contractors were hiring our students. That is the first thing. Im going to hand it off to mr. Clark. Second, if i do not give a special thanks to my Housing Authority association, a lot of the association knows i am a product of Housing Authority. I grew up in Public Housing. We actually received a lot of services that we are currently providing at the workforce. I want to give a special thanks to them, and to you to give me the opportunity to continue to serve the public. Thank you for that opportunity. Please join us at this chili cookoff. Thank you. We hope to see you on saturday, those of you that can make it. We provide an invitation for the opening of the district 11 access point that will be operated by innercity youth and Community Developers in the next couple of months. Thanks again. Thank you. Okay. The only followup question is the budget. If we are adding a task to the mou, is there sufficient budget so folks can come back . We will define the scope of work and have oewd give us an estimate for a budget amendment. Thank you. Fellow commissioners, i think we are ready for a motion. Would someone like to make a motion . I move that we approve the mou with the San Francisco training oewd and ocii infrastructure that they would continue with the subject to annual appropriation of funds. I second the motion. The motion of five d has been made by commissioner scott. Can you please call the role. [roll call] the mou is adopted. Thank you.

Discussion and action resolution 152019. Thank you. This item has been before the commission over a period of time when we initiated the process, as you can see now we are holding a selection, we are excited. I have members here, folks can wave, they are here because this Service Really represents them and would be providing Administrative Services as well as outreach for the work we do. We are happy and excited with mjf and associates is going to partnership with us again. With that im going to turn it over, and this time we actually have some controllers that are new that will be providing outreach work. Im going to turn it over to lila and she can do her presentation and introduce the team that is before you today. Thank you director, sesay. Nadia covered half of my presentation. Just kidding. Im going to go over some project area context to contextualize this contract and some of its history. What you have here is the project area, this is the map that many of you have seen many times. It covers candlestick. And phase two of the shipyard, and historically provides services for the project area. A little background here. In 1991, the u. S. Navy was authorized to transfer the shipyard after environmental remediation. To the San FranciscoRedevelopment Agency now known as ocii in 1995, the Hunters Point shipyard was swarmed to advise the Re Development agency and ocii on the redevelopment of the shipyard. In 1996, the Redevelopment Agency began operations of the Shipyard Site office. There have been support services for the site office dating back for a very long period of time. Just broadly, the main buckets of categories that the Shipyard Site provides a lot of Administrative Support Services. The legacy foundation, the. Which makes recommendations on ocii to the phase i and phase two benefit funds. They disseminate a lot of information to the public about projects, housing opportunities, other Community Meetings and generally help people who walk in who want to know about the project. They are some of the first people we talk to the public about the project. They do broad outreach for the Hunters Point community that are related to this project. Earlier this year, my colleague came before this commission and provided informational memo on the actual rfp itself. And this is the issue we ordered an rfp earlier this year. The proposals were due, we also had panel interviews, it consisted of two. Members as well as to ocii members. And then we took that recommendation back to the full. Some of the scopes of services are to require that the staff operating the site is at 451 galvez between 58 00 p. M. The critical component is a support to the evening meeting that the. Has which could run up to 78 meetings per month if all of the subcommittees were provided notification as well as supporting materials to the cac members are members of the public. They provide Outreach Services as well as reservation system for entrance into the site. They do the reporting they have reporting requirements with ocii to talk about how many members of the public they serve coming in, and what of the work is involved. So, this is also an overview of minimum modifications. Three years experience, ability to work with diverse population. The second bullet. I want to thank the cac for emphasizing the second bullet point cards for this contract. A lot of the discussion from the cac to make sure we are reaching a much wider audience. There we need to do better. We make sure there is Strong Language in the rfp. Also demonstrating familiarity with the shipyard as well as the broader bayview area and experience working with Public Sector compliance, and ability to create a work plan to support the entire scope. I wont read through all of this. This is the proposal process that i just went over that we went through with the cac and the Panel Members to actually select a contractor. In summary, we received two proposals. After we had sitdown interviews with both proposers. This is the rank order recommendations. Mjf associates came out number one and number two was jb are partners. After this slide, i would like to invite the team to ultimately introduce themselves. Mjf and associates have brought on two subcontractors who are local bayview women contractors, bigmouth productions to not only provide more robust social med media, but provide a variety of different creative ways to outreach to new residents to bring in energy. The total contract time is three years, and the budget is approximately 914,404. 58. This is just broadly, how the scope of work is divided. You have bigmouth and phoenix focus on outreach and you have mjf doing a lot of daytoday for the. Before i conclude, i would like to invite micah to say a few words. [please stand by]
