Mr. Young can you bring up item number 1s slides. Puc were very excite today bring this item back before you. As a reminder, this committee and the board approved one prior retro abilitying i have expand for water and power debt. And this is a followup to that for waste water debt. So go through the slides. Can we go to the next slides please, thank you. So on july 1, 2021 as part of the coronavirus recovery fund, 985 Million Dollars was appropriated to water and waste water agencies to eligible residential and commercial customer a rearages that occur through the pandemic. And we did a lot of work through our own to lobby for these funds. Soy wanted to give a shout out, this has been huge help for our agency. Because water and Water Programs were under they were able to cover all arrears for discounts given during the covid fund frames. All funds have been distributed. We wanted to get it out as soon as possible. And funding had to be distributed within 60 days of distributing the check. Can we go to the next slide please. All right, so, this item before you is a retroactive expand for 9. 3 million youll see it there on the table for waste water. And as a reminder, the committee approved, last on may 25 for water and power. And well go to the next slide. And this is juflt a break down of how waste water funds were distributed, about about 80 of the discounts went towards residential and 20 dwards commercial. And lets go on to the next slide please. And then the reason why the waste water funds are in a different timeline than the water and power funds, is because of the waste water details were not released until after the Water Program were completed. We applied for the waste Water Program and we received state approval on april 28th and received the check on may 23, 2020 and went through some time getting accepting packet approved at the Controllers Office and mayors Budget Office and then we introduced it to the board but because of board, here we are in september. And lets go on to the next slide. And just as a heads up, the committee should expect to see one more accepted expense for power, as there is additional funding that will be distributed in the upcoming year. So well bring that item back to the committee in spring of 2023.

Thank you, good afternoon, honorable, department of homelessness and Supportive Housing. I use he she pronouns. Following this brief presentation. Next slide please. The resolution before you today would authorize hsh to enter into agreement and services at the Multi Service center or msc south. This Grant Agreement would serve up to 140 guests at a drop in center or covid informed capacity as informed by Public Health guidance. The term of the current agreement runs from july 1, 2021 to september 30, 2022 and that could extend the agreement through june 30th of 2026. Not to exceed amount for total amount of 40 million over five years. This amendment would authorize to continue Offering Services at msc south which is one flt largest shelters and operated with compassion common sense and courage for many many years at msc south. So we want to acknowledge st. Paul for their Amazing Services and partnership. Msc used to be a shelter, however during the pandemic, we expanded to be a 24bed shelt and her serves 218 guest at the covid informed capacity. With that, ill stop this presentation and were available for any questions. Thank you. Thank you so much. Supervisor safai . Thank you so much. I do have a couple of questions, regard the level of Service Based on the size of the budget. So my first question, i was looking at the ble report, and it says. Sorry, i should call on the bla first. Sorry, im out of practice. It may make sense. Welcome back from vacation. Lets hear from the vla first. Item 4 is a resolution that approves an amendment between the citys agreement with it extends the existing agreement from september 2022 through june 2026 and increases the not to exceed amount from 22 million to 27 million. As stated this, this provider operates the Multi Service is it thing shelter, and it xas the capacity. Because of covid the capacity has shrink. The shelter is about 1 mt 4 million a year. This is assuming Maximum Capacity at the shelter. It also, you can see that the budget includes 17 contingency. We will see on that budget is that the salaries, decrease from the most resent fiscal year to the years Going Forward. And thats in part because the hazard pay, is no longer being applied to these workers. Though shh is in the process and once it decides any weight changes it can draw from this contract to modify which youll see are flat but there is a b a 17 contingency Going Forward if it seems appropriate by the department. We also evaluated the contract performance and compliance with fiscal monitoring requirement and did not find any issues so we recommend approval. Thank you. Now supervisor safai. So i understand that you did find the er to operate msc south, is that correct . And did the bla have an opportunity to review that contract . Nocious theyre shaking their head. If i may respond, we did work with shs, we so we went back to look at the contract since then so we can understand what has been happening since that time. We did get most of the agreements as well as a fairly thorough history from hsh staff especially about what has been happening. Thats not in front of us, but its the basis for this grew into. So thats why im referencing it. At the time, it seems as though, there is no record of there being any board approval, is that correct . Good afternoon, im gigi director for administration and finance for hsh. Through the chair, supervisor taking those in order, it was an oversight on our part and we can followup with the bla but we did go through our records and work with our colleagues and we did find the expired 2019 agreement. That Agreement Start inside july first, 2014 and then expired in june of 2019 and we provided that to your office and im happy to share that for their file. I only underscore because its an example that has gone through a lot of growing and there is a lot of change. There is change in leadership, i think there is the third director of this department. And previously, there were no controls in place. This is a significant contract that is serving, its extremely important population, function. We only have three really large shelters like that in the city. And so to not have a contract approved although it was the past, i wanted to underscore that today because its important to ensure that the mechanisms were put in place that were ensuring that these contracts are reviewed and that were catching it. And it sounds like like at least you found the contract. It does not seem like you were working there some of the leadership was working there at the time. But it did lead to the contract which leads me to the second question. Drop in services and it does not require to operate at that level and weve had that conversation about some of the other facilities that allow you to operate at a different level. But the budget is not reflective of the current population. Just wanted have a little more explanation about why the budget remains the same. But youre serving a lot fewer clients. True and if i may just to address your previous comment supervisor. In fiscal year, 2122, the Controller Office directed to all city departments instructing them to review their files with compliance, were in compliance. And so, again this is an expired agreement that expired in 2019. To answer your other question. The contract as you stated is up to 340, clients. That rows are precovid capacity and they do an excellent job of summarizing all the changes that have happened at this site. Were coming out of covid. Sol we stated publicly and shared this with the board, during the budget process that we dontintend for that shelter. But were still evaluating. What is the appropriate staffing model and Staffing Ratio for both monitors and case managers. So the difference in costs, the reason youre not seeing a rereduction in the budget, the 340 bed capacity only operated during the evening hours. That shelter and closed and through this contract, st. Vincent operated a day drop in the center. That drop in center has been closed since the start of covid and we expanded operating hours to 247 and added additional meals so that people can stay in place. Thats why youre not seeing a reduction in the budget. To subsidize the operation which is currently operating under. Can you explain a little bit more . Because youre now trying to operate this facility more 24 7 it requires additional staffing and support. But youre not serving the, the level of clients that you can at this facility. At 340, keeping it at 218 . So to, restate the shelter is operating 24 7 and it has been operating at that level since march of 2020 since covid started. Weve also brought in Additional Services like meals, so that people can shelter in place but we closed the Staffing Center. So staff was Staffing Center were not would bering at all, they now have to be on staff 24 7 so there is monitoring of clients. I think you also noticed in the report there was saving in the contract at the end of the fiscal year, and this is laying the groundwork for the shelter system. And the adjustment well be making this fall to implement all the wonderful resource thats we had from board of supervisors. So if you wanted go to 340 beds would you be able to do it with the same budget . Supervisor, were not plan to go go to 340 beds the contract is up and that pressures reducing hours and restoring the drop in center. But thats not our current planning. Ill hand it over to chair and come back. I hear you loud and clear, im just clear if there was a need for that. Weve been working so forward to drop in. It seems a little bit of a disconnect and maybe im a little bit slow today. Are you planning on increasing the capacity beyond 200 . Is it 218, you said . I dont have our Program Deputy director or chief deputy that can talk to the evolving public headlight guidance as where we are now. Prior to could vid, were not planning to go back to that model. What the elt mate bod he will will be is what were evaluating now and looking at the budget. Were looking at things like, what is the escalation in. Can we sustain things like meals . Can we sustain 24 p and how can we bring a enhanced system. So that many are being rofd to these opportunities. So with these all of these out condition. Because the budget is based on, its based on the 340 adults and you know, at night and 70 adults during the day. And its based on old salaries. I would like to hear about the plans to increase salaries based on the levels that can be approved during the budget but im also curious how you came out with this budget. Are we going to get to review it again once we make the revisions. Unfortunately the time to come to the board and renew the contract did not perfectly align with both this analysis and the budget process. So essentially, this is, you know a status quo budget that assumes that were operating 347. But its basically sized at that level i. So you know, we need to get the agreement in order to pay the provider for their current services. Thats why our contingency is a little bit higher than normal so we can add the resources that was included in the budget. Including a do la for frontline workers. And resources in there to address this Case Management moving people through the system. So we hope to wrap up that analysis this fall and were in close contract with the providers so theyre aware of our timeline. I struggle a little bit because of all the questions that youre asking yourselves right now, you know, we would love to way in on at that here at the board of supervisors. And by approving this contract for 45 months, it would appear that we would not get the chance for quite sometime to decide whether or not to you know, it makes sense of the board. So im a little at a loss. Is there a way to approve, you know, a year of this . As youryoure answering all the questions and then extend the contract longer once you have a budget based on the reality on how the shelter is going to operate . If i can jump in, i tend to agree. This budget is built out all the way to 20, 2526. We just went through an extensive conversation to build on your point chair, to plan for levels like desk clerks and janitors and that was realized and that information was handed out, im not sure if it impacts. Im not sure if ms. Cohen speaks up to that. Were doing a similar a sal nis. What is a minimum wage level for shelter monitors. We want to standardize our managers across the city. And write what youre going approving. There are other shelter agreements that theyre decisions are going to apply for. I guess my he question, because this is, i this is a very concrete way for the board to weigh in whether or not we approve the contracts. Im wondering term to a year, deputy City Attorney. Anne. The board may not unilateral lea mend the contract. Department may choose to bring back a different version but the board may not do that. Right. So if we continue this item today and gave you, you know, time you needed to redo the contract so its a shorter length of time, will that cause, you know, any problems with making payment to . St. Vincent depaul. I want to understand real life implications of doing that. We do want to not have a retroactive agreement and make a payment for october services. You know, we can talk off line or we can talk about coming back in a week with a, you know, smaller term but i would want to make sure that i would want to have more discussion with our system and make sure that were not since this is an op raying site. Why dont you confer with your team and well bring you back up. Okay, thank you. No problem, mr. Clerk, please call item number 5. You know what, let me not call number 5. Sorry, im going to give you more time. Can you please call item number. Clerk item 7 and 8, approving the Grant Agreement and Childrens Council of San Francisco for the integrated to support the citys implementation of city plan for early care.

You may remember that we have been in a process to merge, to create a new that will see our investment we are poised to make universal childcare in San Francisco a reality. And that will help us build a pro bust ip fa structure. And also, that pays a living wage to the mostly immigrant women who do work of teaching our children. We had hoped to have the new department up and running you but you know, it gets to reflect the ordinance that we will be. Mernling the. I want today thank you for hearing these resolutions will ensure that there is uninterpreted, itemsing fants to the. The two important organizations in your owe zoo that handle the things for families. Director mesquiet for consider low. It has tons of evidence that it condition equallizing.

Yes, good afternoon, supervisor and aoups safai and milgaard. Able to be able to present these contracts to youful gave a wonderful these two contracts representative a lot of efforts and theyre reflective of San Francisco voters. Who in 2018 passed baby bop as we know it. And it helps build the road map for early care and Education System in our city. So given this opportunity, our new department, the department of Early Childhood is going to be expanding Quality Programming for early chair care services. Prop c is to help with the rising cost of wooleder. Represent all our local ip vestment into the early em occasion system in terms of child. And leaves them up to 110,000 be able to unprecedented of of and sevensers in our city. So as we go through the process, Childrens Council and we who are long time grantees, and for the actually for the past two decades and have administered not only all of our funding but state and federal funding for childcare provide city with school enter pre. What we call is our integrated services. Approximately. Theyre aller pass through which goes back to the subsidy administration, making payments directly to Early Education site. But at the same time, we also leverage funds. So there is there a. So between both these agencies, they provide Case Management, resource and referrals and serve over 78 children city wide and thats about to grow. And thats because the support that we have, not only through the mayor but through your leadership. Over the next few years, youll be so our grants today is really the so we can expand enrollment. And maintain our and we are now and we are now at this point of history where we have increasing tape ability up of the median area income. This will provide. The high cost of childcare in San Francisco. Thank you so much, and before questions, well hear from the legislative analyst. Thank you, chair. 7 and 7 are position that i had and one with Childrens Services for the Early Education care grants. We though that under the agreement, ooh and related administrative services. And we. Er of the grant will go to childcare. Over the twoyear perm and then on finally we did you tell we do recommend approval. Thank you. I just had a question for director messquita. My staff and i are, we were shocked at how big their reimbursement up to 33,580. Thats way more than 2 grand a month. Yes, its a very labor of love but nonetheless it does require higher staffing to be able to take care of babies, buzz we need they require a lot of love and it attention. When i just, like years ago so theyve quite increased in a short period of time. I just wanted to thank from our president , for you know, his incredible work to pass crop t, that is an somebody with a minimum wage job couldnt cover costs of recover kay there would be no absolutely no point of a paerpt would bering a. Thats just, you know, thats buckley youre creating a society that does not function unless you have Something Like prop c. I just wanted to emphasize as we were being the bla report. Just bring home the point and how important this. So my thanks to you and my colleague and to former president normand for your work the last few weeks. I did not know you didnt have to be a room at. I just wanted to. I agree that 95 of the month go to subsidize childcare. There is not a lot of money taken off the top. When i first ran for office, we made childcare just an important peace of the conversation because so many working namz and raising good accessible. And this is a womens rights issue so much of the burden is to thrown on the yes, maam to say. I know every month in the room knows that already. What that means and what it means for access. As you said for those who had the vision to put this forward to see it come into reality today and the impact that it will have. And the impact, to those families that need access to good affordable childcare. The families were ut of work and the operators had no longer had serve to children. So so many of the long time childcare ceremony. So this is a poper to test. I dont know if we can add our name to this as a sponsor but i wupt to be a sponsor and a champion of this. Thank you chair and director mesquita. And thank you for chair for all your hard work in the chair. Tubsinger please add me by adding me a chair. I that is behind the scenes at buildings out the system. Is and as you poipted out, it is extensive to.

And by the time the kids get to kindergarten, theyre already behind. If we have not participated in. Those children will be one. And that follows tlem through their tool ra here and racial fun issue. To prepare the past work and i want to give credit to supervisor masquita for making that happen and make the Space Available to have the babies and grow the capacity and also train the workforce. Because, you know, it is not highly paid work, like i said points mostly immigrant women with you for women to go into. Thank you so much for supporting these resolutions and women supporting this work. Its important to a. Mr. Clerk, can you please put these items up for public.

So what s is to amend resolution before you to not to exceed amount of a little over if,000. And that will be saving off two terms. So the agreement would be extended through june 30th, 2024 and if this is an existing agreement that were in, you know, were a bit through the first cal that would give us more than a year to get back to the board in at process to work on the recommendation. Does that work for you do you need to then through the chair to the city to. Would they then need to draw up a new contract . Deputy City Attorney, anne, we would need to specify the amendments that are up today. And a change end of the and i have highlighted the information. Ipds the contract could move forward with those yiz. So weve given the revised language to the clerk, with the changes, its up to you City Attorney.

So to have access to a Good Practice additional shelter. And be part of the discussion Going Forward. I appreciate the plexable and so that we can be wolf wolf in the discussion and how were. There is trade offs, you make it 23 hours but then it reduces your xas i. Which i think its important, but there is going to be a discussion is it appropriate staffing level. All of those things need to be discussed before we make a final decision Going Forward. And i think this is a appropriate way to have it, and this is, already an amended contract . Mr. Halipa . This is been amended legislation but the contract. No, the amended resolution. Resolution. Thats good. If i may what i recommend to r for a motion to amend, i want to make sure that we have time to make every change so that the not to exceed amount would be changed from 40 million to 925 and that that the your increasing the amount of the grant not by 31 by million but by 16 million and that instead of extending it by 45 months youre changing it 25 months throughout.

Those resolutions amend existing agreement to see allow for the continued operations of the Hotel Program at 1231 Market Street through the end of march 2023. Ill be providing brief presentation on both items before you and then joined by Deputy Director emily and gigi. And they will be available for any questions following this presentation. So the first resolution which is agenda number 5, would enter into a third agreement to our agreement with 5 quaoez at site number 10. The third amendment would extend the term through march 31, 2023 and this agreement can be terminated early we are appropriate notice if they proceed quicker than expected. Shs, for Hotel Program by december and this would allow adequate time to transition back to its owner by the end of mar. The number would also exceed not to exceed by 6. 5 million. The second resolution before you today, item 6 on the agenda between and 1231 Market Street lp for the city continued use of the 459 hotel rooms and associated services at 1231 Market Street. The 6th amendment would extend the term through march 31, 2023 and Grant Agreement can be terminated earlier with appropriate notice if the demobilization moves quicker than anticipated. For total not to exceed amount of 88. 6 million. Site number 10 was open through the covid19 and provide temporary shelter for covid Vulnerable People experiencing homelessness. It will be one of the last hotel sites to close outside of 685 alice which is converting into permanent housing. This capacity for up to 459 guests as of september 6, 418 guests onsite and engaged in the housing process. And as of september 6, hsh had housed 129 it guests from across the program. Under the Grant Agreement include participate intake to referrals to wellness checks and screenings and laundry and security and deescalation and meals along to support the guest staying at site number 10. I will stop there and happy to take any questions. Thank you. Any questions, supervisor . Grant agreement to operate the shelter in place hotel. As we show in page 10 of our report, the increase six and a half Million Dollars will cover operations at that site through the period. We also reviewed the most resent performance and fiscal reports and did not see any issues. Item 6 is a resolution that approves the citys agreement, amendment to the citys agreement with the owner of 31 Market Street, the same hotel site that is the subject of the 5 agreement. This also extends that agreement through march 2023. The amendment also ads procedures for the city and the building on jointly continue to better protection the city against damaged claim. We show the budget of this extension and asked by the general fund. Thank you. Now supervisor safai. I just want to talk about the Room Key Program who is the right person to talk about that . On your team . I cannot hear you sir, if you can come to the microphone. Deputy director at hsh, what i said, chair supervisor safai, chair ronen. Its funding pieces that are partly in hsh. I just have a general question, i keep hearing words from the Governors Office about the Room Key Program not going away anytime soon. Can you give us an update on the timing of this. And i understand this is the one of the last ones in the city, since this is the one of the biggest serving the population in need, just curious. I have a tool here from jason elliot, it says project has sheltered since it began as a friendly reminder. It does not seem to be ending anytime soon. So im curious what youre hearing. Theyre sending the information as resent as a few weeks ago. So jason elliot make reference to both fema money and the Room Key Program. Fema has been funding as you know, large pieces of the covid response. Most recently the fema funding was extended through this month, september 30th of 2022 and fema was picking up 90 of eligible costs. We talked about this about this when we were talking about the hotel extension back in july. Room key is a state funded program. That has been in place for at least last fiscal year and money rolled into this fiscal year. So funded at about 150 million. San francisco got an allocation of about 32 Million Dollars. And we have been using of that resent money to fund the sip program. I just want to know, were getting mixed messages. I want to know clearly is room key coming to an end or are we making a decision to move away from it. The room key money is not open and ended. We will fully expend that allocation in the sip program. And by time we close down, we should have fully spent out our room key money. Gigi do you want to add to that. Gigi hsh, as mr. Kaplan shared, this is a shared budget. In terms of the fema question, i would refer any of those questions to the controllers Budget Office. And as mr. Kaplan shared, spending down the available room key funds that we have been allocated by state. Our understanding and advance correct me if im mistaken, that our allocation needs to be spent down by june 2023. Thats my understanding as well. And we will have spent it down before then. And if the mayors budget want to answer the second question about fema. Ana mayors director. There are funds to support this program, project room key which the department talked about. Some general fund and then fema. Right now, i need to check on the latest extension of fema but typically weve been getting noticed of when fema is ending. I dont know when the last day is, we can get back to you. But the way that were budgeting fema revenues anticipating fema based on what we knew. Now were seeing fema reimbursement is not coming to the cities until months or even years after funds are expended. So any new funds that we put towards this are general funds first and later reimbursed by fema. On the end date, ill need to get back to you on the latest date. In terms of the property, is there somebody on staff that wants to talk about. Supervisor, i am not sure i understand your question. My question is in terms of this contract amount that youre asking for today is there an appropriate level of funding in it to cover any potential damages that the city may be libel for . So part thf contract is a contingency amount which is about 6 Million Dollars. Having that said, it is, were really right at the start of thinking about the demobilization with the witnesscome. Were bringing you an amendment through march 31 as dillian snyder said, the building is pretty full at the moment. In an attempt to proactively address the request of damages at the witcome, were actually having City Attorney staff and consultants do an initial walk through of the building. Next week, i have reached out to Hotel Ownership to start to Work Together to adopt the strategy to limit damages. Will be meeting the week of the 19th to start that process. But as you know, this hotel can be open as long as march 31 under the existing amendment. And what is the plan as people are moved out . Where are people going to be moved to . As youre winding this hotel down, since its the size of this hotel, why are people going to be moved to . Thank you, supervisor, emily from the department of homelessness and Supportive Housing. So as weve wound down each hotel site, the majority of folks have gone into permanent housing, nearly 1300 people have been permanently housed. Out thf program, its been incredibly successful. Were really excited about the progress we have made here. And as folks move out of the witcome any of the remaineding four sites were working with them to identify the right housing. So that may be the new building online, for some folks, we will use flexible subsidies. Can be placed into the private market for thoz who are ineligible for the housing, we will make shelter available. But most folks are working to work in through existing vacancies or New Buildings that were bringing online. Are individuals given a priority in terms of placement . Were doing a merged queue right now. So we have people coming from shelters and the street is halfway in. And were ensuring that we have adequate capacity to move folks through. But for any reason, they have low vulnerability we will not put them coming out of another slot which is a braid in of these priority. Thank you, thank you madam chair. Thank you. Thank you. Can we open these items up for Public Comment . Clerk yes, madam chair. Feel free to start. Speaker im sharyl, ive been homeless for 24 years on purpose. For the first two weeks that i was there, the police went to my room and the room next to me, to see if i was doing drugs. Ive been going through this through 20 years trying to give me a drug charge because they raided my house illegally in 1999. This has to do with a Calvin Williams double murderer. So i have problem with everything i do. I spoke here two months ago, my kitchen has been stopped. I cannot make a phone call. My tv was taken off the wall and candle put in the middle of my tv.

Survey their current guest to make space for social distancing and to follow covid rules to protect the most vulnerable. All of the sick, and elderly were moved to site ten. Ive had an Incredible Opportunity to serve these people. Theyve gotten their own room and bathroom. While we knew this site was never going to be permanent, we had the Incredible Opportunity to partner with other organization to see help stabilize our guest and Access Medical care that they have been resistant to for many years. We support this budget request so we can finish what we started. We want to make sure that our guests are moved into current housing. And that is done in a safe and dig any tied manner, thank you for your time. Thank you for your comments, meghan. Next speaker please. Do we still have that caller on the line .
