Good morning Committee Members, im dr. Derek kerr, a whistleblower. An audit of the program is a good idea but it should not be a peer review audit. That would just buy into the biases and weaknesses that all Whistleblower Programs have. It would be important to get to an whistleblower advocacy organization, such as the Government Accountability project in washington d. C. One of the consultants could advise to the standards that a Whistleblower Program should have to meet the needs of the whistleblowers in the public. It needs to be an independent audit and not by the same folks. We heard a lot about the rising quantity of complaints, but i want to talk about the quality or value of those complaints. Since the inception, the Whistleblower Program has been plagued by minor complaints. The 20102011 civil grand jury found that 36 were true whistleblower complaints alleging fraud, waste, and abuse. Then the Whistleblower Program developed a Risk Assessment policy that was designed to triage the complaints and sort them out into low, medium, or high risk complaints. For example, the medium risk cases involved potential losses of 10,000 to 50,000 or they implicate a mid level manager. The medium and high risk cases are not represented in the whistleblower reports. Instead, we get a preponder remembers of cases of low level employees who use Work Computers for personal business, who leave work early, or show up late, who gamble or sleep on the job, or who smoke in city cars and park them inappropriately. Preventing these abuses is worthwhile, but wheres the beef . We dont hear about the big money violations or mid to high level official misconduct. Why not . If the Whistleblower Program does not receive such complaints, they should know why. If the Whistleblower Program refers such complaints elsewhere, they should know how many involve violations of criminal or ethics law. Since the Whistleblower Program already categorizes complaints according to their low, medium, or high risk, they should ask why they are not reported as such. Thank you. Thank you dr. Kerr. Any other Public Comment . Good. Can you call the next item. Item number 6, opportunity for Committee Members to comment or take action on any matters within the committees jurisdiction. 20192020cgoboc work initiates. Good morning, just to remind everybody the format of this agenda item is to have a list of administrative and Committee Functions that you are working on during the year and we can report progress on any of them as need be. I will just run down the list and stop me at any point with your questions or comments. Standardized template. This was a desire of the committee during last fiscal year to look at the variations that you get from different programs and try to move towards a format you find most useful in terms of having them be common, use the same terminology, standard views for schedules and expense reporting, and so we didnt do work on that last year just given your capacity and ours. We are prepared to do work on it during the current fiscal year. I think that chair chu has designated herself, volunteered to be the liaison on this subject, and i think probably what will happen between now and your january meeting is ill have some of my staff refresh and build on a matrix that we worked on before that shows the bond programs, the type of schedule theyre providing, what their reporting period is, so we can see the variability that exists and we can explore how useful the committee has found the reports and where we may look for improvements. So you have a period now, november and december where you dont have an inperson meeting, so i think we should be able to find time to have a liaison meeting on that subject if that sounds appropriate. One other thing. Can you ask them to go back and look at our previous meetings to you know, understand how we use it. Brian was referring back to some specific information in some of the reports, so i think we can use that as facts on how were using them, how that information is actively being used in a meeting. I know brenda also had interacted with the reports in an indepth way. Okay. The expenditure audit, this is where we have reviews of expenditures and bond programs. You will see issuances. Mark, will you update us on your schedule, any changes that may have happened . Sure. Just a quick update. So we completed expenditure audits of eight various projects. We have one ongoing, the 2016 Public Health and safety program. We will be issuing that in either december or early january, right in time for your next cgobos meeting in january. Then we have plans to touch the programs we havent touched before, including the Affordable Housing program and the sea wall safety. Those will be deferred to next fiscal year. We want to make sure theres enough expenditures to audit and that will be the case for the 2018 sea wall safety, so well put that on our work plan for next fiscal year, and definitely the 2016 Affordable Housing, we should have enough transactions to audit by the beginning of next fiscal year or end of this fiscal year. Were also planning on touchi touching or doing reaudits of the bonds we audited before. Looking at those projects within those bond programs that we did not audit in the past, just to make sure we have a full extent in coverage of the various projects within each bond program and we can attest to the fact that we audited all of the various projects within all of the bond programs. Do you have any concerns about the timing of the projects for the 2016 Affordable Housing . It sounds like i mean they dont start until next summer, a year from now or so. I have some, but i mean there werent a lot of expenditures in that one the last time i looked. I understand that theres not much to look at. I believe it only gotten started on 3 of the 30 items that are in there when i was looking at it in our report. So obviously, i love to see them as soon as possibility, but we cant audit what hasnt been spent. I understand that we have to keep an eye on that. Okay. So the port for me, its very much about black box over there, and we probably would have learned more if they come today with some information. So, it feels to me that, thats one that may creep up on us, maybe not the whole thing. Its not the whole parks bond. Right. Those have not been issued. Im talking about the 2012 parks bond. Its that. Right. A more detailed report would be key. Got it. And with the content they get from here, ill reach out and meet up and see if we can get to the bottom of it and get a report. And well talk about it in our next meeting. That will end up having some concerns, particularly as we go into the sea wall where we will have a lot more money. We certainly can do as part of our work planning for next fiscal year is to revisit the bonds we have audited and figure out which portions or projects are attributed to the port and we can use that as our way to narrow down the scope of our o g. O. Bond projects. Okay. Great, thank you. Okay, next item 1c is the schedule of upcoming bond issuances. You have a memo in your packet and our director of public fitness finance is here to answer any questions or comment. The sea wall, will that go to the board in april . It went to the board last april. It has been healthed held up a little bit, but we should have an update at the next meeting or the meeting after. Great. And im sorry if i asked this last time, but the transportation and road improvement, 258, that seems like a large number for issuance. I looked at the encumbered and unencumbered. We have 50 million thats unencumbered. Prior to determining the final bond amount, we will make sure there are projects they have planned for expenditure within the next 3 years per i. R. S. Guidelines. One note that was mentioned earlier, we are pleased to report that we did sell the last series bond for Affordable Housing last week, about 93 million and then we also sold the final series for the parks bond, which will be a port project, so thats in the amount of 3. 1 million for that final port project. Right now, were just starting to do our work on vetting projects for both the Public Health and transportation bond to determine what size we will be bringing forward for issuance in the spring and were evaluating some refinancing opportunities, given the low Interest Rate environments for our g. O. Bonds. Is the market looking favorably op our bonds . Most definitely. We still have 2 of our 3 Credit Ratings are aaa and the next is aaplus. Thats a good thing. Congratulations. Thank you. Can i ask something. Sure, please. On the 22b road improvement bond, do we have a scope for that yet, a description . I know rochelle is here in the audience. Hes shaking his head. Its something that were just now selling the bonds last week for the Affordable Housing and parks. This is our next area of focus and well be determining that soon. Yeah. Were just getting started. We havent put a Financing Team together yet. Ive been in contact with project managers for both of those bond programs and theyre confident that there is a need for another to be issued. Theyre still in the process of scoping out and putting together an expenditure schedule. Once theyre ready, hopefully in the next few weeks, the plan is to meet with them and get their plans and the projects, and matrix make sure their expectations are reasonable before we move forward with any bond sales. The last conversation i had, they were hoping to have an issuance for the full balance of the program bond. I put that in there as a headsup to you that it could potentially be as large as that but well validate what theyre asking for when we go over the projects. Our next meeting is january. Yeah, by then we should have that. All right, moving on to 1d. Were going to spend a couple minut minutes on this. Again as a reminder, last year on your behalf, we had a Public Perception survey that was conducted by one of the providers in our prequalified pool, where we have a pool of providers that do Public Opinion testing, focus groups, and work of that type. We use them for a lot of different purposes in the city. They did intercept surveys and tested two sites in the bond program that you oversee. We were testing Public Knowledge about the site before and after visitor use, their perception of the use of bond funds, some of the demographics of the people using those sites and we got some interesting findings and feedback on how people perceive the bonds and the kind of improvements that rise up highest in public favor. I think you were strongly interested in that type of content, wanted to do another bond. Were interested in focusing on Affordable Housing. So, i did a little bit of work reaching out to the Affordable HousingProgram Managers and staff in the Mayors Office of housing and Community Development in the Mayors Office to discuss it and had talked about bringing back to you a lets of potential sites that we could make the subject of a Public Perception survey. So, i have those sites, but let me add a couple of qualifiers before we look at the list. You know, as you observed in the discussion with member natoli and the expenditures audit, there isnt a lot of money out the door yet in the Affordable Housing bond. There arent any completed projects yet that were completed with these bond. Thats something to keemenp in mind. You can do a Perception Survey focused on this bond. You can wait 18 to 24 months and choose another bond program to work on and by which time there would be more expenditures and hopefully completed projects in the Affordable Housing bond. Those are two options. At the same time, part of my discussion with bond Program Managers here is the public isnt all that cognisant of the difference in Funding Sources. So what youre interested in is getting more public understanding of the feeling around Affordable Housing, how the city funds those things, how the building processes goes, and the number of subjects we talked about that you can test here, you can go ahead and test some of those Public Opinion things, whether or not the Funding Source was g. O. Bonds. Thats an option. Just to again remind everybody, we talked about there are a lot of things you may want to test in Affordable Housing. Its not the same as streetscapes where youre testing users and whether there are g. O. Bonds or not and if they remember voting for it. These things are different. Do you want to test the perception of understanding of stakeholders communities, the residents of the projects, the neighbors, the businesses in the neighborhood, the housing providers, the housing managers, builders, or are you trying to actually test citizen voter understanding of how the city funds Affordable Housing and how it manages its work in that area. Any one of those things is project interesting in legitimate possibilities. Im putting those out there. Lastly, the projects themselves, there are five projects they gave me, which is a mix of funding by the city zone Housing Trust fund, federal home funds, Development Impact fees, theres a good range of geographic spread, and different target populations, which were funded with these projects. I can detail any of them if youre interested in taking that approach. Thats where i gotten to so far. Id appreciate your thoughts and feedback on how you would like to proceed. Yeah. I still think there is a lot to be learned, even if were not talking about completed projects. I think its still interesting, especially because as we look at another Affordable Housing bond going on the ballot, a lot of things i hear from people when they ask me is, i dont see anything happening with this. I dont know about it. Especially given the kind of oversight were doing, i care a lot about providers, i care about construction, all these things matter. I think from our viewpoint, what were really interested in is we require twothirds of the voters to approve this, so i think their perception is an important component in this. Their understanding of who is being served and what exactly we are accomplishing with that money because a lot of people say nothing. They dont feel like anything is happening. So, i guess to that one part of timing, i think there is still some valuable things to be gained from this. As to some of the other points, happy to follow up more. I definitely have some thoughts, but i want to think on it a little bit more about some of the other aspects you brought up, for sure. I have a different point of view. I think we should stay within our jurisdiction, which is to ensure bond funded projects are carried out to the expectations as much as possible by the voters who approve them. It is not our job to start digging into what people think of Affordable Housing in the city. I would rather postpone pegs suggestion when there are projects to pull on and look at Something Else the next couple of years. Really, im interested in everything that you listed of course, and that peg listed, but thats not our job. Our job is to evaluate bond funded projects and while it is important of course to make sure theyre bond funded projects that the city needs, its again, we are reactive. That is this committees role, to look at projects after the bonds have been approved by voters, not to start getting into issues of parks or Affordable Housing or transit. Its not our jobs. I would actually prefer to wait on a perception study for Affordable Housing and perhaps look at one of our jurisdictional areas. I think lauren makes a valid point. There is a lot of Affordable Housing going on and i dont know where the funding is. Its so complex and meshed in a lot of different things. For example, one of the ones off the top of my head was ping young, one of the things funned by a bond. Clementine towers, there is a lot of confusion there. I think thats a valid point. Its after the fact for us. If we were to poll or to get a perspective, you know, accommodation of the residents in the project, the surrounding area, and yeah, the shops and owners in the area, does it bring business . Does it bring economics and keep it here . The and gave me some edits and the clean copy with all those edits that was included in your packet today. If you have further comments or edits or suggestions, we can make them now and then you can approve it on that basis. The only thing i left blank on purpose was the date on the front, which we usually put the publication date when we push things out on the Controllers Office website. Just to remind you, an attachment to this report is my offices g. O. Bond report. So you dont need to worry that your report needs to include detailed content on scope, schedule, and budget because all of that is here in that format. So just to remind you, that is how it will look. It will get posted. Great. I think were going to have to vote on this one. Does anyone have any addition changes you like to see in the document . I had a question. There were edits that you made to my report and i read this. I dont see that there were any changes. It was just small things like tense or punctuation. Oh, i probably needed that. [laughter] nothing material. We tried to preserve the original voice of each speaker. Great to know. Is there a proposal to vote on this . Move. Second. I guess i move to approve this. Just for the record, there is no member of the public present. Great. Great, thank you for your work on this. We will get it posted on the website and congratulations. Thank you. Item 2b, your work plan. The only change that i am noting is that you ask the port park Program Manager to be present at your january meeting. The slides they provided in the current packet didnt have details that you want to see, so you would like a bond Program Style report from them. Am i understanding that correctly . I believe so. Part is bart will meet with them so he can give direct feedback on what were looking for. A bond style report would be great. They werent here. Were they here the last time . I dont remember if they were. I dont remember myself. We will reach out to them and add them to your agenda for january. Thank you. Thats the only change to the work plan im aware of. Great. Yeah, the only flag i would say is that there seems to be quite a bit in january. Thats life. What do we have in january . Im also interested in hearing from the port since i dont think i seen them since ive been on this committee. Technically theyre done with most of their stuff, so it should be a short report. That is our hope. So january 27th meeting would have bond program report, Affordable Housing bond report, liaison report for the Public Health and safety, and the liaison report for my program, and we hope to finish our fiscal year 1819 summary report and present on that, and then the autd dit report for the public report for the expenditure that mark mentioned and you will be adding the port. Do with want to do a paper report and not have them . No, i like charles to attend. I like the staff to attend. They only come once a year. I think its important that they come. Okay. Okay, well try to manage the schedule and well tell everybody to be tight and well look at the timing. That will be great. Thanks. Any other business . Yeah, i had a couple of items. When i made the liaison report in our last meeting, i brought up seven questions that i asked of m. T. A. Staff and i got an email answer to all of them, both peg and mary were copied on that email. If youre interested in seeing it, im sure mary can forward it to you. I think what i like to do is when we next hear from them, or when we have our next liaison meeting is to sit down and discuss them with the staff in more detail. They answered the questions that would be a follow up question. It bares further discussion. On the 2008sfgh rebuild bond, i think my last report on that since we closed out any event, there was an outstanding claim passed through from one of the subcontractors from webcore to the city. The last i reported is that they looked like they were going to settle. I checked with the City Attorneys Office and they said in fact they had. There is a subsequent lawsuit by the city against the designer, claiming there is an omission. There is an omission insurance coverage, so there is a source of money to get that paid. In other words, they are not going to bankrupt an architect. The architect had to get this insurance in order to get the contract from the city. The city always pays for it through the price they pay the designer. That isnt scheduled for trial until next year and even at that, its an early date, no doubt the architect and its attorneys, which consist of the bond company will ask for a postponement. Im going to predict right now its going to settle short of going to court. But we dont know that yet. Further, i dont know what effect that has on the bond, and how they reconcile the bond because its money that was spent to settle the claim with the general contractor came from the bond as they recover any of that money from the Insurance Company for the designer, i dont know what happens. Does that come back . Does that reconcile in completing the bond process reconciliation . I dont know. Now you know all that i know. Thank you for following up on those things. Anything else . I think were adjourned. Thank you. Good afternoon, everyone. Lets try that again. Good afternoon. My name is harold shields and im proud to be the Community School director here at burton high school. We are here today to celebrate one of our very successful programs, the ace program which was a sixweek learning workbased opportunity for our students. Before i introduce the High School Choir in the city of San Francisco that is the best, i want to say thank you to mayor breed for her opportunities for all initiatives and thank principal thomas for working with us, as well as my staff sara kong and mubina shaik for organizing and directing the success of our summer program. Here we have Career Pathways where we try to ensure that our students have access to college and careerreadiness opportunities. We are doing our absolute best to ensure that our business and Industry Partners here in the city recognize the talent that our students have here at burton and the rest of the city, so that our talent here locally can stay here locally and be part of our future workforce. Now, without further ado, the burton High School Choir. [ applause ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [singing roar] [ ] [ cheering and applause ]. Mayor breed hello, everyone. Im San Francisco mayor london breed, and i am so excited to be here today. Hello. First of all, i love katy perrys version, but i will buy that single if you guys to upload it. Beautiful. Thank you so much to the amazing choir that burton has been traditionally known for every since i was in high school, which wasnt actually that long ago. Burton always had an incredible choir and was an incredible force in this city for academics and so many things. So it really is an honor to be here, because this initiative, opportunities for all, is something that is near and dear in my heart. I am so fortunate because when i was in high school, you know, there was not really a lot of opportunities to learn and to grow and to figure out what i wanted to do in life. I grew up in the western edition in the philmore community in Public Housing where my grandmother raised me. It was so easy to turn to some of the negative activity that existed in my community. There was drug using, drug dealing, theft, all kinds of stuff that honestly, sadly, so many of the people that i grew up with ended up going down the wrong path. I think that a really important turning point in my life happened when i got that first job. I was 14 and i got a job through the mayors Youth Employment and training program. [ laughter ]. Mayor breed and i was able to earn my own money because my grandmother was getting welfare and food stamps and all this stuff for us and we didnt have a lot. The ability to earn my own money and make some choices for myself, but also choices for my future, was so important. Because it wasnt just about the money that i earned, it was about the skills that i earned. You wouldnt believe it. Im mayor now and i dress nice, but i showed up the first day of my internship with some of you might have done this, with a seethrough shirt and the cutoff jeans and all that kind of stuff. It was the style back then, but the fact is thats really not how youre supposed to show up in a workplace. The people that i worked for, they didnt just fire me and say youre not dressed appropriately. They took the time to explain to me why in this environment it was important to address like a professional. When i answered the phone like, who you looking for . What do you want . They said, no, they turned it into a script saying this is london breed, thank you for calling. How may i help you . They didnt just give up on me. I was a handful as a teenager, believe it or not. And this internship opened the doors of opportunity for me to not only work in the summer and get paid to work and buy my own School Clothes and all the things that i really wanted, but it gave me an opportunity to learn and grow. And, in fact, because of the relationship that developed during that internship, i was given a job yearround. So after school i would go straight on the bus to philmore and oak to the family school. I would work and do my homework there. I had an incredible number of adults who were great mentors and supporters. Its where i learned about College Opportunities and what i can do with my future. Before that, i dont think i had any plans what would happen in the future. What i saw around me was something completely different. Here was a door that was opened. So when i became mayor, there was nothing more important to me than making sure that young people in the city have access to a paid internship in any capacity to learn about any industry you want. Because let me tell you something, not everybody i grew up with got the same opportunity. So many people that i grew up with, including my family members, ended up in the criminal justice system, ended up, sadly, on drugs, ended up, sadly, dead from gun violence. I cant help but think where did we go wrong and how do we make sure as a city that no one falls through the cracks. Thats why i started opportunities for all because i never ever want any young person to be turned away for an opportunity to learn to grow and thrive. Thats why were taking this message to you because we want you to be a part of opportunities for all. We want you to know about the possibilities, whether its working for any City Department or running the airlines. Today were joined by united airlines, who i basically reached out to along with so many other companies in San Francisco. We have all these Tech Companies and healthcare companies, all this network, theres so many opportunities, where you can not only work for these companies, you can start your own and you can run these businesses. So we want you all to be exposed to whats possible. The way that youre successful is when you know whats out there and you decide what you want to do in life. So today united has agreed to an incredible partnership, where they are not only investing the dollars to help pay for the internship, they are providing students with paid internships, to work in various capacities on the airlines, theyre providing transportation to the airport, and theyre providing airline tickets. [ applause ]. Mayor breed so im going to let janet talk a little bit more about the details of what this means, but i also want all the young people who are here today to understand the importance of thinking about your future, because before you know it, youre going to be 18. Like my grandmother did, she was making me if any for my own toilet paper. Ms. Brown did not pay. I had to give her rent money when i was working and everything else. At the same time, it wasnt because she was trying to punish me. She was trying to get me ready for the real world. She was trying to get me ready to take care of myself. Ultimately, when you become adults, youre going to have the responsibility of taking care of yourself. Ultimately as mayor, because of what happened in the past in this city and the loss of so many of my friends and family members, i want to make sure that we dont continue to make the same mistakes. I want you all to grow and to thrive in this city. I want you to be able to afford to live here when you become adults. Thats my goal, the future of San Francisco, and you all, all of you here, at burton, you all are the future of San Francisco. So i just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you all so much for just really being here and expressing interest in this incredible program. We came here because we wanted to bring the program directly to you. I also want to recognize jenny lam who is one of the members of the school board. [ applause ]. Mayor breed all of the students here and also ivar from the airport. Hes the guy who runs the airport. Take a good look at ivar. Hes going to be retiring soon, so whos going to take over his job . This guy makes some real money running the airport. I want you to think about that in terms of these opportunities. Janet from united, please come up and share a few words. Thank you so much, mayor breed. Lets give her a round of applause. If i may, i just want to say when i hear your story, its an unbelievable inspiration to me and i know it is to so many of you. Its not just getting a job, but mayor london breed is managing and running one of the most complex cities in the world with lots of challenges. Every day she works on machine solving. And then to come and spend the time with us to inspire. Please give her another warm welcome and round of applause and it thank you for your leadership and inspiration on this. We appreciate it. I would like to make a few introductions. Matt miller, my colleague is San FranciscoVice President hub who runs our operation. Behind me, you have lots of our employees in various roles that we do at s. F. O. I just want to share with you why united is here. We have been in this community for 90 years. We are part of the fabric of San Francisco. We have 12,000 employees throughout the bay area region, where they work, live, play, and volunteer. So we are deeply wedded to all of the issues within this region in San Francisco, and we very much want to be part of the future and making sure that the future is bright. There is no better way to do that than to invest in students and in very meaningful ways. So i could not be more proud of the fact that we are here to announce a 300,000 partnership with opportunities for all. [ applause ]. While the money is significant, what im most proud of is this is a partnership with opportunities for all for the long term. We want to ensure that the students that come and work with us in various internships have meaningful skills that will give you a lifelong set of factors and skills that you could apply to jobs with us, hopefully, but jobs anywhere. As the mayor said, its aviation, its tickets to go see the world. We travel to more locations within california and we have San Franciscos gateway to the world. We are very excited to offer this opportunity and very excited to partner with the mayor. On behalf of everyone with us today at united, we want to thank you for being here. We want to invite everybody who is interested in applying to come and join us. We very much would like you to make an application for one of our internships. Its now with great honor that i get to introduce one of our employees who is a United Customer Service representative and a boys and girls club 2015 youth of the year and is the product of one of these types of internships. So please join me in welcoming carmen sousa. [ applause ]. So im carmen sousa. I, like many of you, am a San Francisco native and born and raised in the mission. I went to school all over the city in the bayview and the tenderloin in the mission, all over the place. So i first started off also through the mayor i also started working at 14th through mayeep and was able to get all these different Job Opportunities and eventually started working with the boys and girls club which i was a longterm member with since i was 6 or 7 years old. Through that club and mayeep, i was able to learn all these different Job Opportunities and how to jobreadiness programs, like job resumes and all that. So [ applause ]. And so i first got introduced with united with the boys and girls club when i first turned 18 years old. Luckily through them i was able to learn even more, not only with the boys and girls club and mayeep was ready to get me ready for a new job, but i feel united was able to push me with an extra step knowing this is a real job with real responsibilities, youre dealing with real people. I just wanted to let you all know that anything is pretty much possible. Ive been working with united for four years now and been able to travel all over the world. Its been a really great thing for someone from the city whos never been even outside of california. Thats it. Great job, carmen. Born here and flying all over the world could be you as well. Thank you. Our appreciation to mayor breed for being the inspiration for this. Thank you all and have a great day. Mayor breed last but not least, sheryl davis who runs the program, the director of the Human Rights Commission here in San Francisco. Sheryl and i did a lot of work togeth together. Everything centred around helping to make sure that young people grow and thrive. Now we have a bigger platform to do it and impact the entire city. So we are counting on you, young people, to step up and step out and be successful because im going to be retiring in a couple of years. So i want you to be prepared to take my place. Thats the whole point. I could tell you got me. Youre ready, yes. So with that, sister davis, can you come on up and tell the young folks how they can apply for opportunities for all because i want you to start now and i also want to make sure that we grow this program so its not just the summer. We want to make sure that we are doing this yearround and we are going to hold all the Big Companies accountable who do business accountable to participate in this program which is a future for our young folks all over the city. Ms. Davis. Thank you, mayor. Give another round for mayor breed. I see you guys are already colorcoordinated. Youre ready to step into it. I would say the quick way to do this is harold shields here. He is going to be point for us to coordinate some of that. I saw patsy and john also. I know that they are doing work here and supporting the community. Saida is here from hope s. F. All of these are partners. Principal thomas knows how to get in touch with us. We want to start the process. If you are serious and ready, united has a plan. Were working with them to get folks through that. I see the collective team and others. There are lots of people here. I would say you start with knocking on harolds door, making sure hes got your name and number and hes connected. Hes got all the stuff. We do have the app. You have to go to opps. Org and thats where you register. We can get you all of that. Harold is going to make sure you dont get lost in any of the process. The united process is a very specific process. Anybody whos ever had to go through security at the airport, its 20 times harder to get a job at the airport. We want to get you ready for that. We will help you. I think we have to start now for you to have a job in three months at the airport. Lets get it started. Im here today. Cathy and amelia. Oppsforall. Org is where you go. Thank you. [ applause ]. Go back to class. [ laughter ] chair fewer good morning, everyone. Accept my apologies for being late. This is the wednesday, november 6, 2019 budget and finance committee meeting. I am chair of the budget and finance committee. I am chairman sandra lee fewer. I am joined by supervisor Raphael Mandelman and
