I would like to make a motion petitioner this to be continued for one more week. Before that i will take Public Comment. Are there any members of the public who would like to comment on item 1, seeing none, that item is closed. I would like to make a motion to continue the item to october 16. Clerk item 2 is resolution retroactively authorizing the department of Public Health, Behavioral Health services to enter into a multiyear organized Delivery System Intergovernmental Agreement for Substance Use Disorder Services with the state department of health care services, in the amount of 171,714,918 for the term of july 1, 2019, through june 30, 2022. Thank you. I have been working on this contract for about 27 years. Please continue. The first thing i want to point out is that the contract is retroactive. The source of the retroactivity was we first received the agreement for our perusal on october 20. There are changes in the funding since the Crime Prevention Public Safety act of 2011. It involves them work through centers of medicare and medicaid services. Our services get back and forth before signed, so its not unusual that theyre slow. Okay. Having said that, not guilty 1922, all of the amendments to this will be retroactive to july 1st. So theyll all be retroactive contracts. Anyway, this contract is practically the same as it was last year. The big changes came two years before. Its really a pretty straightforward contract. Basically what it is is the rules and regulations and procedures for billing if one successfully follows those rules, you get paid whatever your legitimate costs were. So its delightfully straightforward. Okay. Colleagues, any comments or questions . Good morning. The board is being asked to approve a Grant Agreement from the state department of Healthcare Services for Substance Use Disorder Services. This is 171,000,000 grant. The city would be reimbursed by the state. The amount in each year is shown on table 1 of 57. 2 million. I think you probably know historically in each year of the grant is the state budget changes. They do come back for an amendment so the second and thirdyear amount could potentially change from the amount in this agreement. We recommend approval. Thank you very much. Any members of the public like to comment . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. This is moved to the board with a positive recommendation. Madam clerk, can you please call item number 3. Clerk resolution retroactively authorizing the office of the treasurer Tax Collector to accept and expend a grant in the amount of 962,892 from the California Student Aid Commission every Kid Counts College Savings Program for the office of Financial Empowerment kindergarten to College Program for conducting outreach to families and provide incentives for families to contribute to College Savings accounts for the period of may 1, 2019, through june 30, 2021. Again, eric mankey with the office of the treasure and Tax Collector. Im here to seek an approval for our office to spend 926,000 for the California Student Aid Commission. This funding will go to support the kindergarten to College Program. Just as a way of background, this was started in 2011 based on research that shows kids with College Savings for up to seven times more likely to attend college if they have a College Savings account. Since 2011 kindergarten to college has automatically opened more than 42,000 accounts for students when they begin kindergarten. Including we just opened 11,000 new accounts this year. The city and county provides 50 as an initial deposit into that account, and we use private funds to incentivize families to further save. The incentives work. Since the inception of kindergarten to college, families have saved 4. 6 million into those accounts. If you include the city funding we have a total of 7 million in those accounts. What this grant will do is allow us to continue to do outreach and continue those incentives. As you see, we are seeking retroactive approval. This is because being a state grant we didnt receive the information and the grant approval from the state until the end of may as the budget was closing. So we decided to hold off since we couldnt get it in our budget submission for 2019 and 2020. Thank you very much. Lets open up for Public Comment. Any members of the public like to comment on item 3 . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Colleagues, any comments or questions . Seeing none we will move in to the board without objection.

Thank you very much. Good morning, supervisors.

I am the senior project manager with the Mayors Office of Community Housing development. I am here to present on item 8. For item 7, the transaction fundamentals have not changed since the presentation was presented in april of this year. The issuance is still a conduit and financing. The project is in compliance with all city requirements, including prevailing wage and l. B. E. Requirements.

We will be glad to answer any questions you have about the project. On behalf of this project, we would like to thank you for your consideration and ask for continued support of the project. Thank you very much. Any comments or questions from my colleagues. There is a b. L. A. Report. Can we hear that. We reported on item 8 which is the 18. 6 million on gap financing. In terms of sources of funds, we showed that in table 1 on page 11 of our report, and then these funds would be used specifically for the nonconstruction costs, the Development Costs, for this project. The total project, as youre going to see here summarized is 148. 7 million including other sources of funds other than city funds. City funds total on page 12. They add up to about 129. 6 million. In terms of the policy consideration, we call out in our report that the perunit cost of this project is now about 890,000 development cost. The citys share is in table 2, which is 177,000. But the overall cost is 890,000. We consider this high. Weve seen over the years the housing cost construction has gone up. We do recommend that you request from the Mayors Office of housing a report back on the drivers of these housing costs. We are revising it a little bit to have the report back for december 9, 2019, to allow them to have the work. Otherwise we do recommend approval. Thank you very much. Are there any members of the public that would like to comment on item 7 or 8 . Seeing none, Public Comment is now closed. Colleagues, any comments or questions . Yes, supervisor mar. Thank you, chair fewer. I know theres a recommendation from the b. L. A. For a report to the board on with more explanation about the high the relatively high perunit cost of this project. I was wondering if you could touch on that a little bit right now. So in regards to the overall costs, one of the things we need to think about as well is the amount of city subsidy in this project. In general we see on average about 229,000 per unit in subsidies. This particular project which has infrastructure costs associated is at 171,000. So it is less than most of our projects in our pipeline. One of the reasons its so expensive is general, its a hope s. F. Project, the topography of the. Its very difficult because its sloped and they are grading issues. We also have relocation issues to move the residents on site to this new housing. Thats an additional cost. Were also building parking which is not something we would see on any of our infill sites. Those have assisted in keeping these project costs lower. Had there been other projects where the cost per unit is in a similar range of 890,000 . Yeah. Youll see it on other hope s. F. Projects. Youll see some of our projects that are higher density. We will put the reasons in our report. Thank you so much. I also have the same question because parcel q i think that was two years ago, it was dlsh 770,000 per unit and that was two years ago. Are we on a time constraint for this because i would like to continue this item and see a detailed charge side by side the expenditures and also why this is costing so much. You were just telling us very casually that topography, blah, blah, blah. I would like to see some of those numbers on why the cost is so expensive. I would like to make a motion continuing this item unless you have a chart with you today. I also think when we got a briefing on this and i looked at it with my legislative aid, it never mentioned the cost per unit which should have been included in a briefing to the budget chair and it was not included. Is there a time constraint on this today or can we pick up this item next week, as we are going to have a meeting next week . We can pick it up next week. That would be great. Lets take these items separately. I would make a motion to move 7 to the board with a positive recommendation without objection. Thank you very much. And i would like to continue item 8 until the meeting of next week. We can get a detailed breakdown why the cost is so expensive for this project versus another, for example, project q. If i can take that without objection. Thank you so much. Madam clerk, do we have any other business for today . Clerk theres no other business. Thank you. We are adjourned. You know ive always wanted to do this job that drives my parents crazy we want to help people i wasnt i did not think twice about that. I currently work as cadet inform the San Francisco Sheriffs Department ive been surprised 0 work within criminal Justice System field i had an opportunity to grow within that career path.

I would like to start off this week with commander daryl fong presenting on our youth engagement. We have retired command officer rick bruce here. So we want to highlight some of the work done with our youth engagement. Commander fung. Good evening president , Vice President , commissioners, director. My name is daryl fung, commander of the Departments Community engagement division. At the Commission Meeting on september 11, we presented an overview of the departments participation in a 2019 summer intern youth program. At the conclusion of that presentation, the commission requested the Department Submit followup presentation following metrics which is contained in the report contained in front of you today. Regarding the Summer Youth Intern Program in summary, over 2180 youth have participated in the s. F. P. D. Sponsored projects including future grads, project poll, youth works, and a youth career academy. The Largest Group presented was africanamerican with 55 of the participants, followed by asian youth with 18 followed by latinex. Currently the department does not have a system implementation in place to follow up with interns after the program. However, it was determined that the Community Engagement division will work with the recruitment unit to develop a process in which a career in Law Enforcement presentation will be provided to summer interns as a component of their Program Participation in the future. This presentation is currently done for the paid parttime Police Cadets as a means to encourage and nurture those interested in a career in Law Enforcement to pursue a career with the San Francisco Police Department. Furthermore, the Community Engagement division will provide the list of participants from the 2019 Summer Program to the recruitment unit to conduct outreach to these young adults to gauge their interest in future career in Law Enforcement. Now, in regards to the paid police Cadet Program, there have been 146 paid cadets hired since the program was reintroduced in 2015. There are currently 43 cadets on staff with funding available for an additional 23 positions. Now, while we do not have statistics on whether or not any of these paid cadets have participated in summer intern programs, we do know that at least 15 were graduates of the San Francisco pal summer cadets academy. Of the 146 cadets, 30 have been hired as Police Officer recruits with our department, with eight currently in the basic academy. We also currently have 15 paid cadets going through the hiring process at this time. In addition, there have been an additional 15 cadets who have accepted positions with other Law Enforcement agencies throughout the region. That concludes my report and update regarding our youth intern programs. Thank you. Any questions from commissioners . I dont see any, so thank you. Great. Thank you, commissioners. Now its my pleasure to introduce retired captain rick bruce, longstanding board member, to present an overview of the s. F. P. L. Cadet program. Good evening. Thank you. Good evening president and members of the Police Commission, chief scott. Its our honor to be here tonight. We wanted to give you a brief overview of the p. A. L. Ive been involved with the p. A. L. For 25 years and weve been a bit remiss because we havent made a presentation during that 25year period. We celebrated our 60anniversary. Chief scott has been a tremendous supporter of the p. A. L. And thats one of the reasons were here tonight, just to express our support for chief scott and everything hes done for this program. In terms of why were around and how p. A. L. S came into being. Its 105 years ago in 1914 in new york city, a Police Commissioner named arthur woods looking at these millions of children streaming in and there were no playgrounds. So he directed his Police Officers to go and find vacant lots. He did that and he would station a Police Officer at a vacant lot and the kids were free to go and play. They ran out of vacant lots. So they started what they called the play streets program. What he did was cordoned off blocks in man hat tan. He would barricade off a street. That program grew into the new York Police Athletic League at that time, eventually the athletics league. They had a famous guy on their board of directors, babe ruth. That program spread around the east coast. In 1954 there was an officer named joe martin. He was working in the louisville, kentucky, department. He was approached by a 12yearold boy who told him that his bike had been stolen and he wanted to go out and get the bullies. Officer martin told him he wouldnt do that, but he would teach him how to box if he came down to the gym. The boy came down and between 1950 and 1960 he won Golden Gloves championships. He went to rome and he was a light heavyweight. There was this old cop from the Louisville Police department, martin. Those two remained friends until his passing. Thats kind of the background in terms of why p. A. L. S are arent and the type of mentorship that can take place. In 1959, a group of San Francisco Police Officers got together. They literally went to the Police Credit union. They took out a small loan of a few thousand dollars. They started what they called the Police Athletic league at that time, so 60 years ago. If you were a kid growing up in 1960s San Francisco and you had any athletic ability at all, you were a p. A. L. Kid. All the great athletes participated in p. A. L. Programming. We didnt have the type of programming we have across north america. So the p. A. L. Filled a void in San Francisco. It became coeducational in the 1970s and expanded to a lot of different types of programming, hence the change from Police Athletic league to Police Activities league. In those ensuing 60 years, our program has produced some incredible san franciscans, including two chiefs of police. Chief heather fong was a p. A. L. Cadet. Weve got a couple of cadets with us tonight. If you go back with those of you who are sports fans, just a few years ago, when the 9ers were still a candlestick, there was a year where jason hill and donald strikland were on the field at the same time. They came out of our program. Thats a broadbrush stroke to what the p. A. L. Has done. Our commission has been keep kids off the streets and on the fields. We were a large Umbrella Organization when i got involved in the early 1990s, where we had, for example, 3,000 soccer ki kids. But we didnt have a huge level of involvement for Police Officers. We made a decision at our board of directors that every p. A. L. Program was going to have a really large stake of Police Officers involved. Weve done that since that time. Our current programs, ill go through them for you very briefly, we still have our football program, its out there at kimbell playground. Theyre on the field as we speak. Chief scott decided to literally dedicate Police Officers to that program. They are on the ground. They are on the field. Ive been familiar with that Program Since the 1970s and this is the First Time Since then that we have Police Officers coaching those kids. One of those Police Officers is here with us. We have a jew jujitsu program. One of the officers is on the mat every night. When the kids go out there, theyre with a Police Officer. Just like when the kids go to football, theyre with a Police Officer. We have a program called the kids games. Its a track and field event we hold. We get hundreds of kids out there. We have a High School Marching band, and they march down with an opening ceremony. They compete. Weve got a medal stand out there. The kids get ribbons and medals. Theres san franciscan kids out there who have an opportunity to have a medal from the police chief. Our Cadet Program has already produced one police chief. Weve got the deputy cheer here. He was a cadet in our program. Hes kind of a shining example of what our Cadet Program can produce. We have got a we still call it a fishing program. Fishing program goes back to the 1960s. There was a famous San Francisco Police Officer, herb lee. You may remember him. He passed a few years ago. He had a fishing boat and in the 1960s he decided he was going to take San Francisco kids out on the bay. A lot of kids have not only not been on the bay, they hadnt seen the bay. This was an unbelievable opportunity for San Francisco kids. We brought that program back and we call it a fishing program. Its really a whalewatching program now. Ive gone out on the boat with these kids. They have a wonderful time out there. For a lot of these kids, youve got to remember, we have kids from all across San Francisco, theyve never been out on the bay. To go out on the bay is one thing. To do it with Police Officers and make those contacts with Police Officers is really something they cant experience any place else. What id like to do is introduce a few people. These people are kind of the backbone of our sergeant darmani. You can just wave. Hes the officer in charge. He runs our program and does a phenomenal job. He runs the daytoday operation and hes nails. Officer Mike Costello is here. He runs the Cadet Program. This is a political ploy, but im going to do it anyway. This is an actual p. A. L. Kid, jujitsu, two years, hes very tough. His bad tells me he throws him all over the house. This program, the jujitsu program runs out of a police facility. We have Police Officers there. Its a program now that has a long, long waiting list. Officer leonard morel is out on the field with our football kids three nights a week. Hes out there game time. This is the third season thanks to chief scott. The mentorship, im out there on the field with these guys. To watch them interact with the Police Officers is heartwarming. These children who have these contacts and are developing these contacts at very young ages, theyre never going to forget this. When you talk to people in the filmore they talk about the generations going back playing in this program. They remember Kelly Waterfield from the 1970s. They remember police coaches they had from way back in the day. Sabine modrano is our civilian in the office. Sergeant ray padmore does unbelievable things with our cad cadets. Id also like to acknowledge that we have some command staff people here in addition to chief scott who literally serve on our board of directors. Weve got deputy chief ann manox is here. We were deputy Police Officers 100 years ago. Deputy chief david lazar on our board. Again, he was a cadet. Weve got commander poreia on our board. We have assistant chief moser who was on our board. Let me see, did barts no, were missing one of our kids. They got tied up on bart. Id also like to call up a couple of our cadets. Come on up here. Weve got aaron hemenes here. This program produced a chief of police. Weve had we do a summer Cadet Academy where the kids get to go through a police academy. Many of the kids who have gone through this program are now serving as active San Francisco Police Officers. So the program has produced a lot of Police Officers, but beyond that we call it a Leadership Program because its produced a lot of kids whove gone on to college and do things in San Francisco and serve their communities in other ways. Who am i forgetting . Captain falby is here also. Hes another member of our board. Any questions . Im happy to entertain any questions about the p. A. L. I know i gave you a lot of information there. Thats a thumbnail sketch of what the p. A. L. Is and what weve been doing for the past 60 years. I want to thank you for the work you do. I grew up in new york city in the 1950s and 1960s and i was a p. A. L. Athlete and it was a great part of my life. I thank you. Vice president taylor. I want to thank you as well, especially for the young people who are here. Thank you so much for volunteering your time and being wonderful stewards of this city and great representations of folks in our generation. I wanted to ask you about the program and thank everyone whos here and involved in this. I think its fantastic. Im always concerned in programs involving children, and this is not specific to p. A. L. Involving children. Its always important in any program that our children are safe, for better or worse. Sometimes programs can be attractive for predators and for people who would harm our kids. I just want to make sure that p. A. L. Has the right training and the right oversight and the right monitorship. If you know, if you could talk a little bit about that. Yes, we screen everybody who is involved as a volunteer. The good news is a lot of the people who are out there as volunteers are either active or retired Police Officers. But as a retired Police Officer, because im still coaching, i actually have to go down and get fingerprinted every year. We do screen everybody. We get some people who have criminal histories. We are faced with a bit of a dilemma because a lot of these people have turned their lives around and want to get back to the community. So we have to make some decisions of who is suitable for the program. We are aware of that and we take it seriously, putting the right people on the fields with the kids. Thank you very much, retired commander bruce. Im one of the p. A. L. Kids. I went fishing another success story. I dont know about that. [ laughter ]. I went fishing with sergeant herbeau. That was fun. Every summer we go fishing with kids throughout the city. Also played p. A. L. Baseball. We played throughout the city. Probably officer moreau did the same thing. It provided foundation to keep us busy throughout the summer. Also Kelly Waterfield, at the time they were the cobras, not the seahawks. Those people were influential in my life and our lives as athletes growing up. Thank you for what you do. To the cadets and the young officer costello and his young son, congratulations, its a lot of fun. We hear a lot of things about Police Officers. These are the positive things people dont know about. To have officer moreau and with the families. I thank the chief for putting the officers out there. Thats really good. Thank you for what you do. You retired from the Police Department a a long time and you have a successful business, but you still do this. Thank you. I want to echo some of the comments of my colleagues. Thank you for what you do. I want to thank commander fung because i think i was the one who asked about the statistics around the program and the things weve been doing. I want to thank the command staff for that. I think commissioner taylor began to allude to it, but i would love to hear from some of the cadets about your experience and being exposed to the program.

Thank you, rick. Thank you. Any other items, chief . Yes, sir. I will quickly go through the crime trends for this week and we had two other reports. For crime this week, we are we had a fairly quiet week. We had no shooting incidents, no homicides in the past week. We are still at 29 homicides for the year, compared to 37 this time last year, so were down 22 . Overall were down 8 in part 1 crime. Our Violent Crime is down 10 , a 22 decrease in homicides. Also, we have had a 22 decrease in our shooting victims. We have a total of 101 victims of gun violence this year, so were 22 down im sorry, 84 this year, compared to 101 this time last year. Our property crime, we are 7 down and continue to show a decrease in auto burglaries compared to this time last year. Were still 7 down and 19 down compared to this time two years ago. Significant incidents this week. We had a stabbing incident actually on a muni bus and it involved a 17yearold victim who was actually stabbed by another juvenile. We just today picked up the juvenile who was 13 years old. Unfortunately, he had two very young people involved in this very violent incident on a muni bus. Our defectitectives our investigators did a good job on this. More to follow what happens here. But hopefully we can get both of the people involved in this incident to a better place and get some services in place, particularly for the 13yearold suspect. Thats an ongoing case that well continue to investigate until its conclusion. We had three major traffic injury collisions this week. One resulting in a fatality in the bayview. Two others there was also two serious injuries in that incident. That one occurred on 10 6 19, october 6, at 3 39 p. M. It was an evans street in the bayview area. Party one was driving a corvette and tried to negotiate a turn at a high rate of speed. He crossed over into oncoming traffic and hit a car coming in the opposite direction. The car coming from the ongoing direction succumbed to his injuries. The case will be presented to the District Attorney to consider criminal charges. We also add a hit and run at clipper and sanchez in the mission district. The vehicle involved was actually a stolen vehicle. Our suspect hit, as he tried to free was involved in a traffic collision and injured the other driver. That person has been taken into custody. So we do have him in custody, and that investigation is ongoing. One other accident or collision to report, this one was a vehicle versus pedestrian on october 8th at 9 50 in the morning on freemont and harrison in the southern district. The driver remained on the scene on that one. That one is also under investigation. Weve had a number of events at the chase center in the past couple weeks. Im happy to report, although there has been some traffic congestion, the events have gone really well. We are deployed and working with the chase security in terms of the interior security, but the outer security are working with m. T. A. And our other City Partners to make sure that we do what we can to mitigate the traffic concerns. The third street bridge is finally opened, so thats going to be a huge relief to the traffic in the area. That has already made a difference. As we get closer to the start of the season, well continue to work through the traffic bugs. We encourage everyone that is attending events at the chase to consider Public Transportation and make sure you allow yourself plenty of time so you can arrive on time. Other events this week include fleet week. Fleet week is a really fun event for everyone. San francisco is one of the bilgest fleet week events in a nation. We want to make sure we show appreciation for the men and women that serve our country in the armed services, particularly the navy and the coast guard. We have events all week in fleet week, highlighted this weekend by the blue angels flyover which attracts a good crowd. We are deployed for that. We are encouraging the public to use Public Transportation if you can. Also, if you must drive, reminding everyone to be smart and be vigilant. Park smart. Dont leave your valuables in the car. Dont leave yourself as a victim. If you see something, say something. If you see behavior that merits an emergency call, please call 911. Otherwise, report it and we will be out in force.

This year we have some additional security measures that were put in place by the organizers of the event, including fencing even though the event is free, those security measures were successful.
