As you may recall, any time a business tax is approved by the voters, our Office Brings administrative provisions before you to align our audit and collections authority filing and payment requirements, penalties and taxpayer confidentialiality. This allows to maintain consistency between all our business tax measures and allows us to retain the ability to change those legislatively if the need arises in the future. The legislation before you allows our office to collect the empty homes tax on annual basis on the last day of april following the calendar eryoofor which the tax is imposed. Each owner of a relevant residential unit would be required to file annual informational returns. This will allow our office to track vacancies in the spaces and take appropriate action. The legislation exempt owners with valid California Home owners exemptions from the requirement to file the empty homes tax. This means that most owners will be required to file and pay by april 30, 2025. This also extends the previously mention ed provisions on audit, penalty and taxpayer confidentiality to empty homes tax. Thank you for your consideration and happy to take questions.

Blum here again and this item have the budget and legislative Analyst Report, so lets go with mr. Bill blum. Good morning madam chair is and supervisor mandelman. Sounds this is becoming a bit of regular thing. Yes. So, as per our custom ill give a brief overview and any questions you may have. Im joined remotely by my colleague beth. If the slides could be pulled up, please. There they are. Next slide, please. This is just to show you on the left the distribution of hi v funded services throughout San Francisco and in the middle you see the different funding sources, a, b, c as well as ending the hiv epidemic and general fund getting to zero and again our population is low income and severe need. Next slide, please. Again, how this particular contract or agency fits into our larger set of services, those that are highlighted in red, are the differentthese are federal level of categories for [indiscernible] next slide, please. On the left you can see Mission Neighborhood Health Center. Their mission statement. I think ill go off script for a second to say, hiv Health Service partnered with the mission, i have been with hiv Health Service all most 20 years and 7, 8 years before that. They really have been kind of a leader and innovate, standard setter and when we had more complex reporting requirements they have been a great partner to work with and always stepped up. Your bottom left you can see funding more granular breakdown of the services they provide. Next slide, please. On the left you can see for the completed contract year, the number of clients they served and annual amount for the two programs we are talking about. The 1. 1 million is for center of Excellence Program which is a one stop comprehensive hiv care program with medical and wrap around services and then the all most 290 is Outreach Program targeting latino, latina, latinx and primarily day labors. On the right you see breakdown of age. The three pie charts, age, race, ethnicity and gender. I think this is something that calls a story of Mission Neighborhood Health Center they always had comprehensive and targeted service, butilates of folks from racial and ethnic identities choose to get their services there. Next slide. That take tuesday takes to the end unless there are questions. We agree with the recommendations and request approval to move forward with the proposed resolution. Good morning supervisor. Nick monard. Item 3 is resolution that approves amendment to the Public Health contract with Mission Neighborhood Health Centers. The amendment extends the agreement from february 2024 to february 2030 and on page 19 we show this agreement funds that organization at a cost of 1. 1 million a year, which builds up to not to exceed amount of approximately 11. 3 million. This is entirely funded by ryan white, federal funds. We also discussed performance of this contract on page 18 of our report and we show the units of service delivered was only 58 percent of the contracted units of service and that was driven by both vacancies at the provider and according to Department Patients unwilling to meet in person for the medical and Case Management services to avoid covid exposure. The Performance Review was contract year 2122. But we also note that they generally serve the contracted number of clients, so they did serve close to 325 clients, which is what they are budgeted to do under the agreement. So, we feel comfortable recommending approval of item 3. Thank you. Vice chair mandelman. Thank you chair chan, thank you for the presentation. I like to be added as a cosponsor. Thank you. I want to give mr. Blum a chance to respond to just performance audit and staffing shortage. Sure. So, historically precovid they had a incredible stable for many many years, and with covid, particularly in the behavioral health, Mental Health Case Management it is very hard to fill positions. In that particular case they gave someone internal promotion and the person accepted another job a few weeks after and it can take a while to make that happen, but overall for the vast years they had very stable and particularly in the leadership, many more then 20 years. In terms of performance, similar thing that i shared with you guys before. If you arethis may be a smart thing for patients who are suppressed. The standard of care is still come in twice a year, particularly with no folks when they get virally suppressed working and not wanting to take time off from work so the standard at the federal level isnt necessarily reflecting what people feel they need and doctors need so the ideal is come in every 6 month, but young and healthy and supressed and medications are working[indiscernible] been living with hiv30 years and sus pressed for 20, i dont think i want to go in the middle of covid and have to go to a lab and risk that. I think both of those kind of extremes have lead to that. We are looking at ways to make that more flexible for supressed people to make it once a year. And, what would that be, the ways to make it more flexible . We would go through a qi process to look at it and we also consult with our federal providers to see. The part a folks look to us and we look to ucsf positive health project. There are reasons good for anyone to go in twice a year for a doctor. We probably all could benefit regardless of the hiv status so it takes time to push for that change and i think particularly for people , many for comorbidities there is different values see people have different opinions and try to build consensus around it. What does qi stand for . Quality assurance. The process to look at service jz outcomes and make sure we are where we want and improve them. Thank you. I definitely agree it islets make sure we explore those ways to be more flexible so folks actually have more Preventative Care in advance and especially seeing that theaccording to the pie chart, it seems largely there is a good percentage of anywhere between 25 and 44, but also a good percentage of 65 year old and older, and it would be great to see them actually have regular care before labs. Thank you so much and with thatthank you. I dont see names on the roster. Just you and me. With that, lets go to Public Comment. Members of the public who wish to speak and joining in person should line up now. For those remotely, press star 3 to enter the speaker line and those in the queue please continue to wait until the system indicates you are unmuted and that is your queue to begin comments. No in person speerks speakers in the chamber and no speakers in the queue. Thank you. Seeing no public, Public Comment is closed. I like to move the item to full board with recommendation and col recall, please. On the motion to forward resolution to full board with positive recommendation. Mandelman, aye. Chair chan, aye. Two ayes with member safai excused. Thank you. Motion passes. Mr. Clerk please call item 4. Item 4 is a resolution authorizing and approve the lease of cityowned Real Property adjacent to alameda boulevard in San Francisco with our planet recycling llc doing business at our planet recycling for 5 year term and annual base rent of approximately 23. 4 thousand. Plus 3 annual increases to base rent; plus one additional option fiveyear extension option to further extend the term of the lease, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions and to be readjusted to thenfair market base rent; effective upon approval of this resolution; finding the proposed transaction is in conformance with the general plan, and the eight priority policies of planning code, section 101. 1; adopting California Environmental quality act ceqa findings; and to authorize the director of property to enter into amendments or modifications to the lease that do not materially increase the obligations or liabilities to the city and are necessary to effectuate the purposes of the lease or this resolution. Members who joined remotely and wish to comment, press star 3 to enter the speaker line. A prompt indicate you raised your hand and when system indicateess you have been unmuted there is your signal to begin your comments. Madam chair. Thank you. We have claudia from real estate. Good morning thank you chair chan and supervisor mandelman. The proposed resolution approves the lease of city land, little more then 4,000 square feet created when alemany boulevard was widened and sidewalk added. The lease is to our planet recycling. One of the few Small Business recycling centers in the city and used for parking and storage. In support of the center adjacent on the caltrans property. Our planet recycling initially started uses the city vacant land under permit and encroachment permit in 2017 for access to caltrans parcel. Cleared debris and trash, removed graffiti, installed a fence with emergency doors, abated weeds and cleared the sidewalk when needed. Our planet recycling had to contain a conditional use authorization finally issued and approved back in july 2023 which is why it took us so long to get here. The lease provides a term of 5 years with one 5 year option to extend. The base rent is 23. 397 with three percent annual adjustment. The tenants is responsible for any and all service and utilities and keeping the outside and sidewalk clear. The lease automatically terminates should encroachment permit or tenant lose the conditional use authorization. I am the owner of our planet recycling here to answer any questions if you have any. Thank you. What you are saying is since the city has a year to year lease since november 2017, and but it sounds like we have been doing quite a bit of improvements including fencing in the area and on the citys no, the city didnt do that. The tenant did. The encroachment permit and city land, there is public works land and city land. It is a very unusual little arch piece of land. No real use accept as a access road to the other adjacent parcel. The tenant was responsible for doing all that. The city hasnt put money in the property what so ever and to get the miner encroachment permit public works demanded they do these items. It sounds like it took a while since 2017 for us to be here and whatcould you elaborate what that resulted in this annual rentbase rent . It did take time. The miner encroachment took a bit. The tenant would like a new entry way from alemany so we were waiting to see if that would be approved or not. When we get the general planning referral, planning informed they need a conditional use and that took a very long time, andlong time for planning to figure if they needed conditional use or not. It is unusual piece of land, unusual use because it is more a accessway, but not for public, for private use. And then the value is a little over 5 a square foot, which is basically a combination of what parking and then just vacant remnant land could get for storage. It is low in the terms of the citys commercial values but not for vacant land that cant be used for anything else and conditional use lowers further in the sense no structures can be put on to the property like you cant have a permanent building and there is limited use of other improvements you could do to the land. I am trying to figure out the location of it. If it is possible, is it possible for the legislative file to add the map of the actual . To the record or . Do the record. That will be helpful. B there is a map in the lease at the way back, but ill separate it out. That will be great. Im trying to read through it and get the [multiple speakers] thank you, i appreciate it. With that, lets go to Public Comment. Thank you. Members of the public who wish to speak on this item number 4 and joining in person, line up now by the windows and for those listening remotely, press star 3 to enter the speaker line and already in the queue, please continue to wait until the system indicates you have been unmuted and that is your signal to begin comments. Seeing no in person speakers in the chamber and we have one member of the public listening and in the queue. Mr. Lam, if you can unmute our caller, please. Can you hear me now . Please begin. Great. David pillpel. Good morning. I support the proposed lease. Our planet recycling runs the only recycling center in San Francisco and also has a major piece of mobile bottle and can recycling Pilot Project that sf environment is operating with a grant from the state. I am familiar with the subject property of the lease and have been there more then once. I did want to call out two i believe corrections that should be made on the legislation itself. Page 2, line 7 provides a base rent of 23. 397. 96 per year. The [indiscernible] should read [indiscernible] conform with page 1 line 7 which appears to be correct. I encourage to make the change to the legislation and page 44 the new lease itself which is not yet signed still has Dennis Herrera as City Attorney and i believe that should be david chui. Sorry, thats page 44 of the lease, page 55 of the packet. Those are my comments and again, i support the proposed resolution and lease. Thanks for listening. That completes the queue. Thank you. Seeing no Public Comment, Public Comment is closed. With that, i am going to let the City Attorney to tell us whether it is necessary for us to make any corrections, but i dont see it right now, but deputy City Attorney ann pierson. Im not able to follow his recommended edits in real time. I encouraged him to provide us with those suggestions in advance, so we have a opportunity to see if they should be considered by the committee. He seems to be questioning calculations or whether some of the numbers are included properly and i would need to confer with the department to see whether there are errors that require corrections or not. Thank you. With that, lets move this item to full board with recommendation and in the event we need to make clerical amendments, im sure we can do that at full board then and would not be substantive and we can move forward with the item at full board. With that, roll call, please. On the motion to forward resolution to full board with positive recommendation, mandelman aye. Chan, aye. We have two ayes with member safai excused. Thank you, motion passes. Mr. Clerk, please call item 5. Item 5 is resolution retroactively authorizing the office of City Attorney to accept and expend a grant in the amount of 200 thousand from the San Francisco foundation to fund engagement, strategic planning, and coordination with coalition of public law offices to support the affirmative litigation and enforcement for the period of july 1, 2023 through june 30, 2025.

Rebecca from City Attorney office. Here requesting approval to accept extend 200 thousand in Grant Funding from San Francisco foundation. The City Attorney is proposing to if invest funding and work with peer public law offices in california. I like to thank the controller and mayor office for their approval and thank you for consideration of this item. Happy to answer any questions you have. Thank you. It is retroactive but work has not begun yet . Correct. The approval is retroactive because we entered into a Grant Agreement with the funder but not expended funding so that piece isnt retroactive. Could you be more specific . The work has not begun of scope of work in terms of outreach and coordination. Sure. Thank you for the question. We are looking to work more closely with other City Attorneys and county counsels in california to align budget and policy priorities and strengthen our state legislative advocacy efforts so this is a Group Meeting informally over the past couple years. This year we worked together to prioritize requesting state funding for our Worker Protection Law Enforcement work. This is the work we do in partnership with olse and we worked with this group that was one of the priorities and there is 18 million in the state budget for that work so we want to organize more formally and align our work better for the upcoming session. Are there any specific topics in terms of legal topic . Or legal issue i should say . It is is focused on affirmative litigation work right now and that work is mainly consumer and Worker Protection. Thank you. Vice chair mandelman. They think chair chan. As a former deputy City Attorney in another city and long time fan of the work of our City Attorney office i like to be added a cosponsor. Thank you. Thank you. With that, lets go to Public Comment. Members of the public who wish to speak and joining in person should line up now and for those remotely press star 3. Enter the speaker line and if you are already in the queue continue to wait until the system indicates you have been unmuted and that is your signal to begin comments. Seeing no in person speakers here in the chamber, and madam chair no speakers in the queue. Thank you. Seeing no Public Comment, Public Comment is now closed. With that, like to move thisvice chair mandelman withed you like to move this . Thank you chair chan. I like to move to full board with positive recommendation. On that motion, to forward to full board with positive recommendation, mandelman, aye. Chan, aye. We have two ayes with member safai excused. Thank you. The motion passes. Mr. Clerk could you please call item 6 and 7 together . Item number 6 and 7 are resolutions approvering amendments to contract with following programs acting by and through the department of children youth and families with board of approval under the charter. Item 6 approves a 4th amendment to contract with the Japanese Community Youth Council. Opportunities for all Intermediary Program between the Youth Council and city to increase the grant amount by approximately 3. 4 million for total not to exceed amount of 13 13. 7 million. Item 7 is a approvers a 7th amendment to contract for the ymca urban services truancy assessment and Resource Center program to increase the grant amount by approximately 606 thousand for a total not to exceed amounlt of approximately 4. 4,000 and extend from july 1, 2023 for new term july 1, 2013 to june 30, 2024. Members joining remotely and wish to comment press 3 to enter the speaker line. A prompt indicate you raised your hand and when the system indicates you are unmuted you can begin comments. Madam chair. Thank you. What well do is have mr. Bret connor here from the grants manager [indiscernible] department of children youth and families and please go ahead and present both items then go to the budget legislative Analyst Report. Thank you. Thank you supervisor chan and mandelman. The department of children youth and families has two amendments before the committee today. The first is for the Japanese Community Youth Council opportunities for all Intermediary Program. This is the second time the grant is before the committee. The first for may 2022 exceeded the 10 million threshold. This grant supports implement aishz of mayor breeds opportunities for all initiative, which celebrated the 5 anniversary and served more then 1200 youth last year. Opportunities for all provides appropriate workforce opportunities for San Francisco youth age 1124 and particular focus on those young people enter success in the workforce has been a historical challenge. Jcyc provides payroll, work sites, trains staff and youths, support logistics and serve as employer of record. This amendment allows for the department to incorporate a 3 million work order from office of economic and force development. Create new opportunities for paid internship and [indiscernible] administer the growing program. The second Grant Agreement is for the ymca urban service truancy assessment and Resource Center. This amendment is before the board in order to add 11th year to the existing contract thus meeting the threshold for board of supervisor approval. This grant is unusual in our portfolio. Predates the major 2017 rfp the vast majority of the current portfolio came into being. Dates back 5 years earlier to separate rfp. Maintains the grant through series of amendment hads throughout the current funding cycle with plan to close out the award and go out to bid in a new cycle starting in july 2023. However, as with every grant the onset of covid19 delayed planning process for new funding cycle and forced the current cycle to be extended by one year and with all the grants. This amendment adds the extended year to the grant as well as the funds necessary to support the program over the course of the year. Provides reengagement and Case Management to most disconnected students. The Program Offers advocacy linkage referrals to student and families. Provides youth and families with barrier removal support in areas in transportation, housing, basic needs, whatever a student requires in order to regain healthy attendance in school. Host inschool events to enhance School Culture and attendance. Fy2223 served 140 youth which was 1 3 more then projections and 75 percent increase from the prior year. I want to thank the budget and legislative Analyst Office for assistance in preparing these amendments for review today. The department agrees with their recommendations. However i would like to respond to one issue raised in both of the reports, specifically the assertion that dcyf does not require performance monitoring. Both Grant Agreements state grantees shall cooperate in good faith with the city conducted or authorized by the city. Doing business with dcyf guide, a handbook provided to all grantees highlighting requirements, lays on pages 47 and 48 a series of Program Monitoring and Data Collection expectations including daty entry to department systems, youth survey administration and attendance tracking. Doing business also outlines Performance Improvement measures to engage should a grantee found not in compliance. Monitors through Data Collection [indiscernible] also taking proactive steps to improve our Data Collection and performance monitoring in the future and two examples i cite today are reassessment of youth survey, both content and administration. Also expanding measures in the few rfp and funding cycle beginning next july. With regards to youth workforce programming, proud of the partnership with office of economic and Workforce Development who workforce link sf system all youth workforce participants enroll and this gives greater ability to follow Youth Movement through the workforce programs available to them and track positive youth outcomes. In conclusion, i note the services funded through ofa and t a rc are part of 20242029 request for proposal and released and deadline is october 20. We look forward continuing support of the Vital Services in the new cycle following this competitive solicitation. That ends my remarks and happy to answer any questions. Thank you. Good morning. Nick monard. Bl rks a. Item 6 approves the 4 maenth amendment to the Grant Agreement for opportunities for all program. The amendment increases the not to exceed by 3. 4 million, but no change to the term which ends june 2024. We show on page 24 the total projected spending on this agreement is 13. 3 million, which is 400 thousand less then the proposed resolution not to exceed amount and for that reason if you do approve this we are recommending reduction of not to exceed amoubt amount to 13. 3 13. 3 million. I think we discussed in the reportwe had on this agreement very little data was collected on the quality of the program. In terms of how people felt about the program, and other elements of Program Quality that were part of the yearnd monitoring report, but no data provided as part of that year end monitoring report and none of the elements of that data were actually in the Grant Agreement, so thats why we included that statement in our report about not requiring specific performance monitoring. I think more importantly, this only served 36 percent of participants in fiscal year 2122 and 55 percent of budgeted participants in 2223. I dont feel this program is performing wem. I donts feel we have data to know whether it is a High Quality Program and as we discussed last year, this was soul sourced to this organization. That happened before the creation of chapter 21g in the administrative code, which iswhich requires competitive process now for Grant Agreements, but i still think it was a missed opportunity to do a procurement best practice when selecting the vendor. It is all these reasons we consider approval of item 6 a policy matter for the board. Item 7 approves a amendment to the Grant Agreement between dcyf and ymca for truancy Assessment Resource Center program. The amendment extends the agreement by one year through june 2024 and increase not to exceed to 600 thousand. We show on page 28 total projected spending is 5. 4 million. That is below the 10 million threshold for board approval but this is now an 11 Year Agreement, so why it is before you today for your approval. And similarly, we had scanned data on Program Quality. We know that the program budgeted to serve 105 participants in fiscal year 2122. They served about 89, but of those, only 30 percent were in the program for at least 15 hours, which is the kind of how the program is structured and budgeted, which seems very low. And then we didnt get any data from the department on fiscal year 2223 so i cant validate was just asserted by the department representative, because it is new information to me. But i think overall we have a consistent issue here, which we saw last year, which is that the department has low participation in the programs. It cant provide data that show the programs are working, and the budget data changes all the time. It feels to me like a fairly unstable set of programs and so for those reasons we consider item 7 to be a policy matter for the board as well. Thank you. Vice chair mandelman. Thank you madam chair. So, when you sayi was not on Committee Last year, so when you say we saw this last year, would this contract or other contracts or with this particular contract . Im talking about the internships. Sure. It was opportunities for all was at the board last year. There were two other agreements at the board last year. It turned out other agreements that should have come but didnt but exceeded the 10 million threshold which we discovered also last year. The problem i was identifying was that we couldnt get an understanding of how the money was being spent on the Grant Agreements. Im getting that and there was scan data on Program Quality and it waswe had no way to know. Typically when we look at a Grant Agreement, there is something in writing that says, this is what will happen and we will be measured against this, and we will have data to show compliance and the deviation from compliance and we just didnt get a comp rehensive data set so hasnt improved in the past year. Thank you. Im troubled, particularly about the opportunities for all contract, which seems to have less data then the tarc contract even though it is for a significant larger amount of money. I was inclined to think well, we identified the issue and this is bad and should make noise about it, but see if they can clean it up over the next year. Troubled to learn this isnt the first time the issue has come up with this program and we are now in year two of this, things dont seemyear two or three and things seem to not be Getting Better so not sure of the recourse of the committee is. The reason it brought to the board if someone can correct if im mistaken, the fact it came to the board may 2022 was 7 years lapse because it wasnt identified as a Grant Funding that requires board approval, but the fact that the Grant Agreement actually accumulatively well over 10 million and it was actually supposed to come to the board, and it wasnt identified it requires board approval until then, so by the time it came to the board, it wasntagain, it was very similar to what today we are talking about from the budget legislative Analyst Report is that, there are not a lot of data to confirm and validate the Program Effectiveness and performance. It is continuously seems to be the case. So, i think the question that i have is that, dcyf issued a rfp this year in august for this program. If not really with jcyc, but opportunities for all, and that starts in july 2024, so as you are going through this process of new rfp, i think the question i have is that, could you just describe a little bit about the rfp in terms of is this a going to bejust trying to understand howwhat are the learned lessens for the new rfp and will there be anything to be done or conducted differently for the new rfp to make sure that this situation doesnt happen again . Thank you for the question. There are several learnings that we have taken over the course of the last several years. One of them is taken a very strong look at Performance Measures. Also taking a very very hard look at our partnership with our partner departments that actually hold this program. One element just one element why sometimes the program data is difficult to receive is the data comes through another department to us. We are not necessarily getting directly from the grantee, which is bit unusual. We are working with Human Rights Commission in order to gather what specific programmatic activities are. What we will be doing in the new cycle is making sure that we have lock step agreement with our departments and all our partners to make sure that we understand exactly what our expectationstalking specifically about the opportunities for all grant, what the expectations are, how we measure them, how to report them. I am heartened improvement is already being shown in terms of participation rates. We are coming out of a pandemic that was extremely disruptive both to youth and to the workforce environment. We are figuring out what do job placements mean in a city that is so focused now on remote work for example and this program is shift and adapt to accommodate that. Those adaptations will continue and we will be very much on top of how the program responds in the new 5 year cycle. I mean, i also want to say though, like according to the budget and legislative Analyst Report on the page 23, the fact that it is onlyagain, i think verbally has articulated by mr. Monard from bla is that, only 36 percent of participants were served for 2122. At that moment when we approved this in may 2022 we didnt have the nrfgz information and now we do. With that, there is zero percent of participants completed a Work Based Learning experience that last at least one month. So, it is very challenging to see that there were already lapse for the contract agreementfor the Grant Agreement itself for board approval as it was supposed to befor this process, questioning, performance, evaluation in my 2022. Of course, we were in the peak of pandemic and so many levels that we were saying perhaps weit will take us time to catch up. Now it is time, which is a year later from the moment that we last approved this may 2022. And with the result we have now, what trigger that dcyf to say, lets give additional monies to this contract, which is not meeting the performance instead of saying, perhaps it is time to end this . Can you articulate that . Sure. Thank you. First off, i want to make sure to get the record clear. It might be the zero percent figure you are looking at was for summer placements and there was no programming that summer, so it is zero. I think more up to date number specifically on your point in terms of the number of participants completing a program at least one month is 87 percent. What . 87 percent. 87. Again, we are seen in the year since last time before the board improvements on both grants and Performance Measures. Not there yet and everyone acknowledges that but we are already tracking positive Performance Measures and hoping to get more. So, i think back to the vice chair mandelman. Thank you chair chan. Is theit appears and little more concerned about opportunities for all then about the tarc because of the scale and the fact it at least appears in the Truancy Program there is some collection of data and some measures. The numbers seemnorth of 50, the numbers look better then the numbers on the opportunities for all performance. But you are talking about the need to coordinate across department. Why is this running through Human Rights Commission . When mayor breed began this program back in 2018 and the programming hit the ground in 2019, it was originally housed in the Human Rights Commission and continues to be to this day. Our grant with jcyc is administrative grant who is serving as the hr office for this program and does a lot of on the ground work with the sites and youth and training of the youth, but the program itself is a hrc program. Thats the structure for the comingfor the latest rfp . I dont believe there is any conversation about changing the structure of the program, no. I may be wrong, but it sounds like that is part of the problem. I would assume so, right . You have articulate areed it is difficult to collect the information and seems multiple agency. Not just hrc, but oewd. This is for opportunities for all and not just tarc. I want to go back to budget and legislative analyst if thats okay too. I think that this seems premature to determine it for today. I think that it is great to actually have this conversation though. Publicly and be transparent about this. What im hoping for, if okay with you vice chair mandelman for item 6 and 7 to be continued and we just like for you to work with our budget and legislative analyst to provide the data that really help us do two things. I think one is to according to the lessens learned for the new rfp that you have issue, it is to collect some form of data that is reflective based on what you are looking for from the rfp. Only because i think it help us understandalso under the assumption maybe some of these maybe including jcyc will compete for the new rfp and very least we should understandhow what is the disconnect between the existing program and the rfp issue. I think two is for the least, if the grants agreement does not have the data requested or brought into correction by the bla, can we at least collect or try to collect some of that . That is [indiscernible] so, is that possible . Of course, here is had rub. That is the challenge i always have when these contract come before us by the time they come before us is that we are always end up having the city departments telling us they will be disruption to service should we continue, so can you articulate about the timeline . We are a significant portion of the way into the fiscal year. The needs for both these programs are with us presently. I do get concerned about the continuance even if a relatively brief one. The grantee is providing the service would have a similar concern. I did want to get back to two issues that you both raised. One is whether or not particular the opportunities for all program is a success. Its a relatively new program, 5 years old, more then half spent during pandemic. It is very difficult at this time to know wlaut what a good denominator for success is and what we measure success against. A thousand young people placed into workforce opportunities is a lot of young people, and im very cognisant of the fact that is a experience that could have changed a thousand lives in the past year. Whether a thousand dollars is the reasonable upper limita thousand youthwhether 2 or 3 thousand is something we can work on, but it seems to be what the data is showing for now. There is a direct relationship between the amount of funding going into the workforce grant and youth able to be served by that grant. This 3 million is specifically to create more opportunities, so it is a fairly straight forward formula in that sense. The more youth can be served with the more money available to serve them. So much of the program is salaries for their job placements. Im concerned also about how a continuance might effect the Program Planning for Spring Semester at school and the upcoming 2024 summer. I also want to return to the concept of structural issue being a program housed at hrc but administered through dcyf. I dont see evidence there is a structural issue. If there is issue i think it is coordination and that is something we are working hard to improve every day. Then i personally think it is semantic, structural or coordination. Vice chair mandelman. I think a lot of coordination problems are structural in city and county of San Francisco the way we have done so much of the work we do does require levels of coordination. If we coordinated better we could solve this but set up systems that require complicated relationships between Different Actors that may or not make sense. What is troubling to me about this though, the board of supervisors allows the spending of public dollars to do good. Generally good happens from that money. We feel some obligation to be measuring and having some set of standards around the quality of the good and how much good and what was troubling to me as a newcoming to the conversationi have been voting on these at full board but not in Budget Committee talking about it, what is troubling is our analyst is like, i have no waythere is no way to evaluate whether this is good or bad. There are numbers that look not great but you have chosen those as the criteria, who knows how to evaluate that and again, my thinking was, well, this is doing good and maybe we give them another year to figure this out. Accept that if this isnt a new issue, thats also troubling. I think it makes sense as the chair suggested that we have at least conversations. I dont think there is any desire to kill either of these programs. I think we see this board i think sees the value of summer internships, but i think we have to be at least a little rigorous about without overly measuring having some kind of measurement of whether we are doing what we are trying to do. Thank you vice chair mandelman. With that, lets go to Public Comment for these two items. Members of the public who wish to speak on item 6 and 7 and joining in person line up now. Remotely, press star 3 to enter the speaker line. Those in the queue continue to wait until you are unmuted. No in person speakers, mr. Lam, if you can unmute the first caller, please. First and foremost, you have to do a needs assessment. And we should have had in the chambers somebody who is in charge of the program. When it comes to the youth, it is very sensitive situation. Just kicking the can down the street and just making some analysis by the budget analyst who may not know how cumbersome it is to deal with the youth, especially truancy with the pandemic, which my organization has seen a big way the city without getting funding and here you have ymca, you have davis from the Human Rights Commission. Somebody from ymca should be there to state how they conduct the services. The director from human rights should be here to state how they dull out the stipends and so on and so forth. And the taxpayers should know how it benefits the youth and how we can help them, this is a hodgepodge presentation and you cannot go anywhereyou can not go to a better place because there are lots of loop holes. You can clearly see it, loop holes. What the city does, it takes the money and outsources it. Your time elapsed. Do apologize. Thank you very much. Do apologize cutting you off mr. Decosta but we are timing each speaker at 2 minutes. Just to double checkmadam chair, that completes the queue. Thank you. Public comment is now closed. I think the question is that we do not have a meeting next week, wednesday for the budget and finance committee. I would like to continue these two items and for us to have further discussion, particularly with budget and legislative analyst to identify at least some factors that we can consider for evaluation performance eal evaluation for both. With that, i like to make the motion to continue these two items to the next Budget Finance Committee meeting and mr. Clerk, please help announce the date. Yes, madam chair. The next meeting of this committee is on if 25, madam chair. Thank you. I like to make the item to continue two items to october 25 and roll call, please. On that motion to continue both these items to the october 25 meeting, vice chair mandelman, aye. Chair chan, aye. We have two ayes with member safai excused. Thank you. The motion passes. Mr. Clerk, please call item 8 and 9 together. Item 8 and 9 are resolutions approving modifications to contract and lease with the following item number 8 is a approves modification number 4 to contract with Dignity Health doing business as saint mary medical for management and operation of the sfo Medical Clinic to increase contract of 1. 7 million not to exceed 12. 7 million pursuant to the charter. Item 9, approves modification number 2 of lease between the United States government and the city and county acting by and through its Airport Commission to extend the term by two years from october 1, 2023 for total term of october 1, 2015september 30, 2025 and increase the annual rent of approximately 620 thousand for office occupied by the u. S. Drug enforcement administration. Members joining remotely and wish to comment on these resolutions press star 3 to enter the speaker line. Madam chair. Thank you. Today we have cathy wagoner, chief external Affairs Officer from San Francisco airport, and if you could present both items together and then go to the budget and legislative Analyst Report for both items. Of course. Good morning, cathy wagoner. Modification 4 to airport agreement with Dignity Health doing business as saint mary clinic increase the contract by 1. 7 million to address lower revenue based on fewer then projected patient volumes. There is no change to the Agreement Term, which expires on june 30, 2024. The San Francisco airport Medical Clinic has been a tenant employee contractor and traveling public resource offered at the airport since the 1970. The clinic provides travel medicine, vaccinations, urgent care, Occupational Health and emergency medicine service. The airport current operating agreement with Dignity Health was awarded in 2019 for term of three years with one two year option to extend for amount not to exceed 5. 9 million for the initial three year term. This agreement has been through a series of modifications since 2019 to modify the scope of services to address covid19. The downturn in patient usage with reduced traffic and extend the two Year Agreement through june 2024. The proposed modification 4 adds 1. 7 million to fund the clinic through the expiration on june 30 of 2024. The cost of operating the clinic is funded through the Airport Operating Fund and structured so the airport reimburses Dignity Health for operating costs, minus patient revenues. Most of the clinic utilization is comprised of tenant employees with the most common visit type being drug screening, physical therapy and Workers Compensation appointments. When clinic operating costs exceed patient revenues, that delta is paid for or reimbursed by the airport. The budget analyst has reviewed this agreement and modification number 4 and recommends approval and i will be happy to answer questions after i continue to the next item. The next item is modification to the airport existing lease with the United States of america for space to be used by Drug Enforcement agency to extend the term by two years through september 2025 and increase the total rent from 569. 635 to 620. 611. In 2015, the board of supervisors approved the initial 5 year term for 2612 square feet in terminal 3. In 2020, the board approved modification 1 to extend the term for three years through september 23 and increase the annual rent to 569. 635. Modification number 2 would further extend the term for another two years through september 30, 2025. The airport will receive approximately 1. 24 million in rent over the term of this modification. Again, the budget Analyst Office has reviewed and recommends approval, but im happy to answer questions if you have them. Thank you. Item 8 is resolution that approves an amendment to the airport agreement with Dignity Health to operate an airport clinic. The clinic provides urgent care to people at the airport and acpational health program. Increase the not to exceed by 1. 7 million to 12. 7 million but no change to the term which ends june 2024. Under the agreement the airport essentially reimbursed dignity for operating cost net of patient revenues blus Management Fee of 355 thousand a year. That was reduced by 50 percent for two years during covid. The reason there is increase in the airport contribution is because patient revenue s have gone down relative to what they were anticipated to be due to [indiscernible] Occupational Health programs that the air lines and lower then expected foot traffic at there clinic. Recommend approval of item 8 and then item 9 is a resolution approving second modification to the airport lease with u. S. Drug enforcement agency, which is tenant on airport property. The lease extends this amendment extends to the lease two years october 2023 to september 2025 and increases rent from 570 to 620 thousand a year which is essentially based on the Standard Airport rates and charges averaged over the 2 years. We recommend approval. Thank you. Lets go to Public Comment for these items. Members of the public who wish to speak on items 8 and 9 and joining in person should line up now and for those listening remotely press star 3 enter the speaker line. Please continue to wait until the system indicates you are unmuted and that is your signal to begin your comments. Seeing no in person speakers in the chamber, mr. Lam, if you can unmute our caller, please. David pillpel again. On these two items at the airport, first item 8, i just want to take a brief moment to appreciate dr. [indiscernible] who started the clinic many years ago. He and his wife lorraine a Deputy Director of health years ago were wonderful people, neighbors when i was growing up and great City Employees for many many years and it was through dr. Lawrence efforts primarily that the clinic was established, which at the time was pretty revolutionary and is now more common at airports in this country and around the world and provides Important Services as cathy spoke to a few moments ago. On item 9, the dea lease, i have no particular issue with that other then since it is after september 30, 2023, i might suggest adding the word, retroactive somewhere in the resolution confirming that this is now a retroactive lease going back to extendsorry, lease amendment to extend the lease for two years, but it goes back to september 30 or october 1, so i would just somewhere add the word retroactive. Thanks for listening. Thank you much for your comments. Madam chair, that completes our queue. Thank you. Seeing no more Public Comment, Public Comment is closed. Mrs. Wagoner, maybe i missed itjust wanted to make sure as knowing that noted that saint mary under Dignity Health is going through acquisition with ucsf. Could you just help us understand a little bit about the possibility in this acquisition were to completewere to be completed, what will happen to this contract . It is my understanding that ucsf is in the process of acquiring several Dignity Health sites, including the sfo Medical Clinic. I dont believe that it will be finalized until the First Quarter of 2024. In that case, ucsf would acquirewould assume all obligations under this agreement, so nothing would change with the exception of perhaps a name change. That would be approved by the commission. Understood. In the event that they do actually havei see. Okay. If they were to try to change any contract terms, they would not be able to . No. Because they are legally obligated . In acquiring the site at sfo they assume all responsibility and obligations for the current existing agreement. Understood. Thank you. I appreciate that. With that answer, i like to move these two items to full board with recommendation and roll call, please. On that motion to forward both items to full board with positive recommendation, vice chair mandelman, aye. Chan, aye. We have two ayes with member safai excused. Thank you. Motion passes. Mr. Clerk, please call item number 1 and just also want to acknowledge that board president aaron peskin is in the chamber. Thank you. Item 1 is ordinance amending the salary ordinance for fiscal year 2324 and 2425 to reflect deletion of four positions in fiscal year 2324 and addition of 7. 69 positions in the fiscal year in the Police Department. Members of the public joining remotely and wish to comment press star 3. A prompt indicate you raised your hand. When the system indicates you are unmuted you can begin comments. Madam chair. Thank you mr. Clerk. President peskin. Thank you chair chan. Supervisor mandelman. Thank you for hearing this today for the third time. Let me start by invoking president ial privilege and appointing myself to the vacant seat on this committee and clerk julipa, if you need that in writing i can provide that to you but think i can do it verbally per board rules. I want to start by acknowledging the budget legislative analyst on their updated report that is before you and we call this item out of order to hopefully have the chief here, but he has a crazy schedule this morning. I am pleased to say that we have had a number of fruitful discussions and i have brought to you an amendment drafted by the controller, which i believe reflects a compromise reach between the Police Department and my office wherein, the ordinance would be amended to provide for the ultimate deletion of two positions as opposed to four. One of them in the assistant chief category, and one in the commander category, but allow the incumbents who sit in those seats to stay and leave by attrition, which is set forth in the amendments that i handed out to you and the clerk and have been signed as to form by the City Attorney and the director of human resources, which i believe is step in the right direction. I dont want to put words in the departments mouth and dont want to reiterate the power point and presented at your last meeting on this item on october 4 i pleev it was, but suffice to say that this is to create more q4 Police Officer positions. This amendment would result in the creation of 4 such positions. And of course, the emphasis here also is on trying to retain district captains at the captain level for longer periods of time. With that, ill turn it over to mrs. [indiscernible] from the department. Olivia from the department. Thank you president peskin. Good morning members. Budget chair chan, supervisor mandelman president peskin and members that are Department Heads in the chambers. Good morning. On behalf of chief scott and like to thank you for the amount of meetings and discussions we had around these positions. As president peskin indicated, we settled a compromise i say for the best interest of the city. Really looking at staffing. I dowe do believe that the actual attrition, the amendment specifically around attrition will help us to be able to figure out how to deal with this transition. It is needless to say, we said this in our presentation, those are two large positions that end up carrying a lot of responsibility. Assistant chief and commander in the command staff and so the time allow us to be able to figure out the duties and responsibilities in a responsible way for the organization. Having said that, we do appreciate the exchange of moving forward with additional staffing in exchange for the two command staff positions. Hoping to continue to get support by the board of supervisors and your committee around staffing in general as you all know, staffing is a critical component right now for our policing in the city so hoping to have futher discussion around able to maintain our full organization. Thank you again. We appreciate the patience and the discussion back and forth to get to this point. Thank you. Thank you. I just want to clarify, it means that the department is supportive of the amendment proposed by board president peskin today . We are in agreement. Thank you. With that, i done see name on the roster and like to go to Public Comment. [providing instructions for Public Comment] seeing no in person speakers in the chamber, and mr. Lam, if you can unmute our caller, please. Great. David pillpel again. I continue to support supervisor peskin here, while this is not perfect, it is certainly good and an improvement. This in my opinion addresses span of control and work load at the Police Department. It would be great to have a new Department Organization chart added to the file after the Police Department has a chance to create one to reflect the changes in organization that are contemplated here and finally, i look forward to more conversation on supervisor dorsey s Charter Amendment and civilianation as relates to the Police Department command structure. Thanks for listening. Thank you for your comments. Madam chair, that completes the queue. Thank you. Public comment is now closed. I greatly appreciate the conversation. I do not see this conversation will end here even with this amendment because i think there is a lot of work still ahead of us to do not just what the Police Department in terms of reform, but continuing to see performance and delivery of the services and Public Safety measures. I look forward seeing what we have done during the budget process, which is also a Quarterly Report from the department, and through the controller we willalso look forward seeing that. I believe it is coming up for that Quarterly Report in a few days, so i look forward seeing that and continuing this discussion and with that, what is your will president peskin . I would like to move the amendment that do what i mentioned earlier. Great. With that, roll call on the motion to amend. On that motion offered by temporary member peskin to amend the ordinance as stated, vice chair mandelman, aye. Member peskin, aye. Chair chan, aye. We have three ayes. Thank you. The motion passes. Then i like to make a motion to send the ordinance as amended with recommendation to the full board. With that, a roll call, please. On the motion to forward the ordinance to full board with positive recommendation as amended, vice chair mandelman, aye. Member peskin, aye. Chair chan, aye. We have three ayes. Thank you. The motion passes and with that, do we have any other item before us today . Madam chair, that completes our business. Thank you, and the meeting is adjourned. [meeting adjourned].
