I believe today we have with us the mayors budget director Kelly Kirkpatrick and our controller. Are you there . Yes, chair fewer. I am the budget director and i believe the controller is also on. I will kickoff the presentation with a screen share. I also shared a copy by email with the members of the committee and aids should you want to follow along. Give me one second. Can you see the presentation . No, it is not up on the screen. Okay. Give me one second. It is my own laptop. This is my last try. Otherwise, i will kick it to ben to pull up the presentation. I apologize. It is showing up on my screen. Is it showing up on other folks . Supervisors you cant see it, is that correct. No. Ben. Let me unscreen share. I believe i stopped sharing my screen. Yes, i can see it now. So today the controller and i will walk through a summary of current Year Spending sorry. Covid19 relating spending by city departments as well as refined numbers from state and federal resources. This is all work in progress at all times. This is the updates since last week. We will also speak to some estimates related to alternative housing and give two funding rereceived to date and walk through the timelines. To begin on city spending for covid to date, departments will spend an estimated 50 to 100 million for core operations related to covid response. Vast majority is anticipated at the department of Public Health related to increased staffing, ppe as well as transportation needed for individuals. To date the departments have gotten money out the door of 15 million, and this includes 10 million for staffing. We have spent, i think there is some accounting here checks out the door for 2 million. Department of Public Health has funding in the cue and pays to spend 10s of millions related to ppe and testing and safety equipment. We have announced the Grant Program which is reallocation of current year funding. Of course, there is a couple Million Dollars for the it needs and additional supplies for our vulnerable populations. We are working and the Controllers Office is leading the reimburse meant to the extent possible for these costs to fema recovery to help us offset those costs. Ben will walk through the next couple of slides. Sure. Good morning. We are working to get our arms around the costs related to the event. We are working with the departments to forecast the number of different expenses. Those include medical staffing by facilities, temporary housing, including hotels there be a significant cost. Inspection and Contact Tracing programs throughout the city. Food service expansion, Emergency Responders support programs including child care and others. Then inspection and hygiene services. We are working on this daily as we speak. A lot of these costs will depend on the ultimate ark of the Health Emergency in San Francisco. We will update you and include full estimated costs in the april projection update from our up the mayors budget office. I know there were specific questions related to costs related to hotels. We did pull together some information related to costs and forecasts of expenses working with eoc in the last several days. The city currently has approximately 2000, 1977 hotel units currently under contract or that the city expects to be in contract within the next couple of days. Our preliminary estimate of the costs for the units for a 90 day period comes to about 35 million. That including the cost of the hotel lease itself, what security, janitorial and other support services at those facilities. Our expectation is that fema will reimburse us for a significant portion of that cost. In particular, fema guidance at this point, which is evolving almost daybyday at this point, is that fema will reimburse for either congregate or nonkong agree gat housinnoncongregate hl reimburse for housing costs related to certain at risk individuals. They are defining for fema purposes over 65 and with certain medical conditions. The ultimate reimburse mat from fema will depend how we filthies units with who and whether or not those individuals are eligible for reimbursement under the fema program. Our current estimate that we expect about 20 million potentially of the 35 million will be fema reimbursesible. I think the two categories here at least under current fema guidance are not reimbursable. First is for any First Responder housing that the local government sets up unless those First Responders are covid positive or exposed. Second broader housing programs that reach to the homeless or other congregate housing not in that Vulnerable Group are not currently reimbursable under currentfina guidance. That explains the difference. The estimate of the balance for the units under contract or will this week comes to 15 million. We would expect that cal will reimburse us for some portion of the fema eligible piece and some sources that we are tracking in the federal stimulus bill we hope to further reduce that. Broader planning goals, Shelter Branch is working on at the moment is to get up to 7,000 units. Well beyond what the city has been able to get contracted to date. Using estimate of cost from 2000 under contract, we would estimate the total three month cost of the larger universe is about 105 million, with about potentially 55 million of that claimable against fema, 50 million yet unsolved. One caveat on the numbers above is these dont yet currently include on site Health Services required at some of these units, depending on population served in different ones. We are estimating those costs but dont have them at this point. The other thing that is not on the page, of course, are other shelter expansion costs in congregate settings as opposed to housing. I will pause for questions. Supervisor ronen. Thank you so much, mr. Controller. How much is the shelter expansion costing . Good question. I dont know that i have that number at my fingertips but i can certainly follow up immediately after the meeting with more information on that. That would be great. Then the only shelter expansion, the administrations plan changes several times each day so it is hard to follow. My understanding right now is moscone west is the only shelter expansion. They mixed the plans for the other two at the tennis club and the palace of fine arts, correct . I am not certain of the status of the tennis club or palace of fine arts. I will get back to you on that. I think you are correct. Other than the fact there is some expansion of hours and services at the existing shelter system in the city. In terms of new shelter beds, the west is the significant one at this point. The major expense thus far is for moscone west . I believe so. I think the state has provided a certain number of trailers at a lesser expense. We can certainly pull together a summary for you of the shelterrelated costs. That would be great. I would appreciate that. Will fema be for 60 or 65 and older . I believe the current fema guidance is 65 and older, which differs somewhat from the citys guidance of 60 and older as the vulnerable population. What are the other categories people that fema will reimburse anyone with out a home that is covid19 positive . Covid positive or exposed. Then i believe those are the two primary categories above and beyond those that dont have the ability to selfquarantine and are over 65 with these health conditions. This is possibly not in your area of knowledge. If someone is sleeping in a congresacongregate area with soe positive would that be someone exposed . I will get back to you on that one. Thank you, ben. There is a pot of money from hud that we did not use. I believe it is in, you know, the tens of millions if not more. Could we repurpose that for the hotel rooms . Understanding all of these different Revenue Streams flowing down from the state and the feds is part of the puzzle we are putting together at the moment. There is an expansion of money through hud. The state itself has allocated funds for shelter and hotel use. We will receive a portion of those funds. There is changes and additional allocations ms. Kirkpatrick will speak to regarding cvg and other funds. We are working to see what those look like and how to maximize the use of dollars for the local response efforts, which includes both public house and what we are talking about. As we alluded to, there will be other moneys available to close some of the gaps you see on this chart. Looking back at my notes. I guess there was a 5 million amount of money from hud that we cant spend now and that hud has issued a mega waiver that we can apply for to then use those funds for this purpose. I guess it is not in 10s of millions. I think it is around 5 million that you could look into reusing that money for this purpose, that would be great. Will do. Ms. Kirkpatrick might have an update later on some of the questions you are asking related to other Revenue Streams. My last question is that i am trying to find we are paying 197 perennities for each hotel room if you divide 1977 by 35 million for 90 days. That is the figure i got, is that right . Let me do that same math. Yes, i get a comparable number. That is not only for the room but also for security, cleaning and other services other than the Health Services provided on site. The reason i bring this up is because, as you know, supervisor preston and haney hav secured hl rooms together with shelter providers and donations they fund raised. Their overall rate is coming to about half of that. The shelter providers that they have emptied are providing the same services that they did to people when they were in the congregate setting so their contract remains the same to provide food and oversight and they have got that number cut in half. I am just wondering if we are doing all we can t to get the bg for our buck here. I have not reviewed the alternated model and i will be more than happy to. I think there would be i see that sidebyside comparison. I would be happy to do so. I do think 197 is really high. I would love to see the breakdown of what we are actually paying to the hotels and for food and staffing, if that is possible if you could get that to me. We can pull that together for you. This is the very forecasting work that we are doing. Getting to a more grand level. As we have more information i will provide it to you and other members of the board. It would be really helpful. I think especially supervisors preston and haney could sit down and show the city how to cut the number in half. That would be great if we could do that. Thank you so much. Supervisor mandelman. Thank you, chair fewer. I have a simple question. You have chosen to use a three month period as the basis for the calculations. I know you have got to start somewhere. I am wondering if there is any basis for picking that three months other than you have got to start somewhere. It could be shorter or longer, right . You are right. We are using this for a model. Two months felt too short. Longer than three months was too speculative. You are right, it is very uncertain. Thank you. Anyone else, comments or questions from colleagues at all . We will move to the next slide, if that is helpful. I promised a short update when we make presentations on philanthropy. As the committee know, the gift was modified by the mayors Emergency Declaration under that fund established to accept the citys response. Emergency donations are accepted by my office and programmed expenditured are recommended by the eoc and then those expenditures are required to be approved by me, the city administrator and the Emergency Management director. Our status on funds raised through april 5th, which is the last report i have from a couple days ago indicates we received 2. 4 million in philanthropic gives there is another 6 million pledged that we expect to received in the coming weeks. No payouts have happened as of april 5th. The committee has approved two allocations for the week ahead of that received money. 1. 3 million for the Small Business Relief Program supervisor ronen spoke to earlier and 1 million for food secured. There are two accounts used for this. Funds received into the city fund itself and additionally to encourage gifts from organizations that have bylaws or other restrictions that only permit them to make charitable contributions to 501 c3s with the Sf Foundation and those are included in the totals here. That my short update on philanthropy. With that i can hand it back to ms. Kirkpatrick to talk through other federal and state revenues we are tracking. Any comments or questions for our controller . Seeing none, lets move on to ms. Kirkpatrick. Thank you. As we have been discussing, we believe that many of the costs we are incurring and we work to capture as many as we can will be reimbursesible through fema through the cares act 2. 2 trillions. 45 billion of fema funding across the country is allocated. We will try to capture as much of that as possible and also work with state partners. Also, as part of the cares act there was a Coronavirus Relief fund of 1. 5 billion across the country that we estimate in San Francisco will receive 150 million. The controller and i have walked through earlier, we have significant costs already outlined for various staffings operations dph and ppe and testing depending on the patchwork of costs related to alternative housing. Parameters around this funding are that it has to be for necessary expenditures incurred due to the Public Health of covid19 budget costs unpresident l accounted for and unaccounted for. We are working to better understand the rule making and parameters around this. It is our understanding it is not a an apply for allocation this. Is our best estimate. It doesnt at this time the rule making does not include lost revenue or backfill of lost revenue to city. We are exploring if that would be a possible use given the projected shortfalls we released last week of 1. 1 to 1. 7 billion between the current year and upcoming two budget years. Additional allocations we have better our arms wrapped around from last week i want to highlight. The m. T. A. Estimates they will receive 300 million to 400 million from the cares act. That may be used to cover operating expenses making up revenue shortfalls and ppe and administrative leave costs due to Personnel Service reductions. Airport estimates they will receive at least 200 million from the faa to cover operating expenses and make up for revenue shortfalls as well. We are tracking allocations as supervisor ronen noted for various hud programs. Cdbg homeless assistance grants which look to have eligible uses related to housing. As the controller noted we are working to figure out a variety of sources with the costs we have and this will definitely play apart for these housing needs. Also, we are working with partners. It looks to be funding for Law Enforcement agencies to cover expenses related to covid and we are on the allocation for that, for the aging and Disability Services and trying to figure out the San Francisco allocation for Meal Services and trying to understand support for healthcare system. State emergency funds that has been made available, the governor allocated 150 million for homelessness specific and alternative housing costs. We now know that of is 100 million allocated for homelessness emergency spending, that our flexible dollars to address the homelessness needs we will get a 6 million allocation for that. The governor has included a 50 million statewide funding pot for hotels and alternative housing. It is our understanding they will take in all needs across the state and moneys expended and figure out an allocation plan from there. There is no formula like with the emergency homeless funding which was based on the point in time count and various allocation cost models. 50 million is something that we have to work with the state to figure out how much we would be eligible for across in San Francisco. Finally, looking forward eye eye are working on updates. The controller is working on refining the revenue projections from the updates we provided last week on the range of projected revenue shortfalls as it related to covid in the city. We will continue, i gave you a brief update on federal and state revenues. We will work to provide updates and incorporate those into the april Financial Reporting updates. Of course, the Controllers Office will continue to monitor through the nine month report underlying Department Revenue and expense trends to give a picture of where our financial positioning is better narrowed in on in the coming weeks. My office is working on a current year rebalancing plan to bring the current year short fals between 180 to 280 million into alignment. We will bring those rebalancing plans, i believe, in early may, late april for your consideration. In order to help us develop that current year rebalancing plan we issued instructions which i walked through last week only allowing hiring positions for essential work related to health response, freezing and evaluating new programs which funding has not gone out the door yet. We will pull together a plan to balance those expenditure reductions and potential use every serves to try to balance the current year with an eye to offset together for the significant shortfalls we anticipate for the upcoming budget year as well. As always, this will be a work in progress. We will keep you updated as we move along. Supervisor mandelman. That was left over from the last. No problem. Any comments or questions for the controller or mayors budget director . President yee. In regards to the rebalancing plan you are talking about. I know that a lot of it will be a guesstimate, and are you anticipating that probably a few months after the fiscal year will you do a rebalance of the rebalance once you find out what funding is coming in . Everything is up in the air right now. As you saw, that is a great question, it is a range as well. We will work to come up with contingency planning. My goal would be to do the exercise once and provide enough choices, but i will say we are in an every involving land scape we will keep you evolved should we have to rebalance should something deviate from the anticipated shortfall. Thank you. Supervisor ronen. Thank you. Have you been able to calculate cost savings from the reduction of work that the city is doing during this process . I know there is so much to get to. I wonder if there is any information related to that . The city has made a commitment to maintain city employment for City Employees through may 3rd. We made the same commitment to our nonprofit providers. Those costs are the same, perhaps there might be something due to slower hiring. That is what my team will work on over the next couple works to capture some type of savings related to that for the rebalancing plan. That makes sense. Thank you so much for doing that. What about we had talked about this at one earlier hearing . What about the Capital Projects . Any updates about potential cost savings of Capital Projects we had planned on completing this year but were not longer going to do so . Any updated information about that . No new updated information. My team is issuing instructions to departments this week to have them provide us with a variety of projects and the implications of canceling or pausing those. That is part of the rebalancing plan that we will bring you in the next three weeks. I just had a couple more questions about the 2sf fund. I am not sure if that is for you. I am wondering if we could get some information. Whatever you can share about who is giving with the donations. I know that i have been asking members of the public who want to help to give to this fund. I am sure they are giving, you know, in the smaller range, but given how many billionaires we have living in the city, i am curious who is it that is giving and at what level . I dont have that information with me, supervisor ronen. It is in discussions with the citys attorneys office. Let me add this to the list of things to get back to you with. We can talk about it in future weeks. [please stand by]. Supervisor walton again, these are folks who are not qualifying for other state benefits. As you know, we had these pieces of legislation were cosponsored by supervisors peskin, supervisor haney, supervisor mar, supervisor safai, and supervisor preston, and i just wanted to thank them for understanding that this is a commitment that we have to make here as a city as we have populations that are being left out during this major health crisis. I also want to thank major rosenfeld making sure that there were funds in the general reserve because it is important in fighting for this lem legislation to be passed so 500 families a month would have 500 a month for food, necessities, and basic needs. I had a conversation with the mayor this morning, and she has committed 6 million to make sure that we have the resources to implement the components of whats proposed in this legislation, and shes also committed to making sure that we get to the 10 million, so i am going to move to continue all three items as we finalize the details and the plan and working with the mayor, knowing that we already have 6 million committed to fund the resources for the population. Im excited to know we will be able to get the resources out the door quicker, not having to do this legislatively and working with the executive branch. I do have some amendments that are not substantive for both ordinances, but i know that some other people may want to speak, so at this point, i will wait to propose these amendments. Chair fewer thank you, supervisor walton. I was mistaken, we do have a report for it. So before i take comments, may i please have the b. L. A. Report. Yes. Good morning, chair. File 200339 and 200340 establish the covid emergency family relief fund, this would be a category 8 fund, which means the fund would be disbursed without an appropriation approval by the board of supervisors. And then file 200341 appropriates 10 million from the general reserve. Three, because this is a new program and new spending, we considered this a policy matter for the board, but we do have two recommendations from the board to clarify the ordinances the in the in the first, the way the propose is written, we recommend the ordinance be clarified it states that the controller can move money into the fund once the fund is formally established. And the other recommended is an amendment to all three ordinances related to disbursement of the funds. Otherwise, id consider it approved as amended to be a policy matter. Chair fewer thank you very much. Supervisor ronen. Supervisor ronen thank you, chair fewer. First, i just wanted to thank supervisor walton for his incredible leadership to look out for undocumented members of our community but has been left out of the federal relief package. You know, i always feel so grateful to live in a city that, you know, the theme of covid19, were all in this together. And whether you were born in this country or born outside of this country, youre a human being who deserves to survive and live with dignity, and i just very, very much appreciate supervisor walton for his perfect, incredible work here, and his staff, tracey brown. I also, you know, want to thank the mayor for creating this fund immediately so that it does not need to be delayed. Thats fabulous news. Thank you for standing up for immigrants, mayor breed. I did learn this morning, which was very surprising to me, from supervisor walton, that there was an effort to combine an effort that im working on last minute with this effort. Nobody it talked to me about it, so it took me by surprise. I just want to make clear to this committee and to the city, mayor breed, joaquin torres, office of workforce development, that groups had approached me many weeks ago that undocumented workers, many of which are individuals who do not live with their families here. Many have been separated from their families because of poverty and the need to migrate to survive, and they said just like families were left out of the relief package, that workers have been left out of Unemployment Insurance at the federal level and at the state level. So as of friday, i had a conversation with the director of oewd, joaquin torres. This was after my Office Hosted a phone conversation between mr. Torres and Worker Rights works, which includes jobs with justice, the colectiva mujeres, the chinese progressive association, the asian law caucus, and countless other groups. I cant even remember all. It was a conversation bilingual conversation with many workers. The result that we worked at the end of that phone call was that oewd was going to come back with a proposal with an amount of money that they used from the Philanthropic Community for the undocumented workers who dont qualify for Unemployment Insurance. I spoke to mr. Torres as late as monday, and he told me i would get that proposal, and ive been waiting for it ever since. The news was that low wage workers were going to be able to weighin on that proposal, and we would be able to solidify that legislation. Then, this morning, i woke up to emails from supervisor walton and his staff, tracey brown, saying that the mayor and others were trying to amend his proposal to include my proposal. Again, i dont have a proposal. Im waiting to get the proposal that oewd comes to us with. So i would ask joaquin torres, the director of oewd to please talk directly to me if the plan has changed. Im still waiting for the proposal. I would ask any member of this committee if you have comments or questions on something that im working on, come talk to me. Id be happy to answer your questions or try to get the answers to your questions. As far as the project goes, im not dropping it. The immigrant and workers rights group that im working with are not dropping it. I havent heard from oewd, and well take it up at the board of supervisors if thats necessary. Im not trying to raise the 10 million fund. Im a cosponsor of that fund, and i believe that immigrant families need and deserve this money, and i will work with immigrant workers to create an Additional Program which will be similar to Unemployment Insurance for undocumented workers. How these two funds work together, if at all, we can talk about, and we can figure that out together, but i would just ask everyone to speak to me directly if working on a proposal that im meeting the effort on. Thank you so much. Chair fewer thank you very much. President yee . President yee yeah, thank you, chair fewer. And supervisor walton, again, i want to thank you for your leadership on this issue. When you spoke to me about it, it was a Quick Reaction by me. I realize it was a gap in terms of what the state was doing and the federal government was doing. Theyre really, especially the federal government, theyre not doing as much as they should for the groups thats impacted, that the group that this was trying to serve was almost left out of this. I realize this is going to be a fiscal impact, but i realize its one that almost no one is paying attention to. Thank you very much. Chair fewer supervisor walton . Supervisor walton thank you, chair fewer. I did have a couple of questions on the b. L. A. Report and find out if theyre substantial or not. No, i dont think they are, and they would not require a continuance. Supervisor walton thank you very much. I would, of course, thank all of my colleagues who are attending the meeting, but also everyone who are supporting these amendments as supplemental as they are required to maintain the structures of some of our families that have been forget forgotten about. I do feel in times of emergency, it is very appropriate to use resources to support what were proposing here with the two pieces of legislation and supplemental, and, also, some Additional Needs that are going to arise as were in this crisis. We will, of course, be doing everything we can to try to get philanthropy, trying to get private sector to participate and support, but the reality of it is, in some cases, were going to have to provide our own safety nets as a city, and im just excited to have people who know and understand that and are willing to fight for our communities. So just want to thank everybody for listening. I will put the amendments on record since i do have the floor now. So for the for file number 200339, the emergency ordinance, if we look at page 1, line 4 and also page 3, line 4, and page 3, line 10, we just want to change the word emergency to disaster. So throughout the report, were changing emergency to disaster. And if you look at page 2, line 21, were just adding the site to the federal stimulus bill. And that those amendments are for the first file number 200339. And then, for file number 200340, same amendments in terms of changing the word emergency to disaster throughout the ordinance. And so if we look at page 1, line 4, page 2, line 21 and line 22, changing emergency to disaster, and then, on page 23, line 22. And then, on file 200340, page 5, section 4, we would have add the letter b, and this is regards to the operative date. After it becomes effective. This shall become operative upon expiration of the executive ordinance of file 200339, and the City Attorney proposed we include that language in that file number. Chair fewer okay. So before we vote on the amendments and to move the item, lets take Public Comment. Are there any members of the public wishing to comment on this item . If youd like to do so, call the number, and remember to please press onezero. Madam clerk, can you please ask the administrator if there are any members on the queue . Clerk yes. Madam chair, the moderator are letting us know if there are any callers in the queue. Caller madam chair, i have two callers. Chair fewer thank you very much. Clerk hello, caller . Your two minutes begin now. Caller one second while its queueing. Clerk hello, caller . Caller hello, caller, can you hear us . Chair fewer mr. Chiu, can you please see if the next caller is prepared to speak . Sure, one second. It appears those callers have dropped. No callers wish to speak. Chair fewer Public Comment is now closed. So we have some amendments that we need to vote on, and then, we also have motion. First, i want to say that i support legislation in terms of undocumented people. I hosted an undocumented woman in my home for several family, so i am aware of what theyre going through, yet not qualifying for any of the federal stimulus money. As the chair of finance and budget committee, i cannot support taking 10 million out of the general fund. We need to balance that with caution so we are not exasperrating that deficit and adding to the concern of organized labor. For the last few days, my office has been working with the Mayors Office to identify another potential source of funds, and im glad that the mayor is in discussion with supervisor waltons office. And i want to be very clear that i dont have any amendments today, and i dont know where this came from, as the mayor has been in Constant Contact with supervisor waltons office. But weve heard that my office has some amendments. I am not personally involved in the design of these programs, and i am not a cosponsor. My staff has been involved in many of these discussions so we can identify a funding support and bring it to a full vote before the board of supervisors. So having said that, i would like to make a motion to approve the amendments from supervisor walton, and could we have, please, a roll call vote. [roll call] clerk there are three ayes. Chair fewer and supervisor walton has made a motion. Supervisor, would you like to continue that item next week or to a further date . Chair fewer to next week. Clerk im sorry. My apologies, madam chair, for interrupting, but the b. L. A. Has recommended to amendment all three items. Would you like to consider those amendments, as well . Chair fewer id say lets consider those recommendations at next weeks meeting, after supervisor walton has had discussions with the Mayors Office, and they may want to add to that or they may want to change it. Im going to leave it to the discretion of the supervisor to see whether we should accept the amendments or not. So supervisor walton has made a motion to continue this item these three items, items 1, 2, and 3 until the next meeting of the budget and finance committee. Could we have a roll call vote on that, please, as amended. Clerk as amended, yes. Roll roll well do a role call. [roll call] clerk there are three ayes. Chair fewer okay. Madam clerk, is there any further business before us today . Clerk there is no further business. Chair fewer okay. We are adjourned. role call item 2 is pledge of allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of america and to the republican for which it stands, one nation under god, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Please be advised the ringing of and use of cell phones and pages are prohibited at this meeting. And be advised the chair may
