I believe we have jennifer from supervisor melgars office. Thank you chair ronen. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to sum rise this. I will sum rise it. We have superintendent john than vein from public works on teams if well are questions about how it would being implemented. The ordinance seeks to create a 2 year pilot so this Property Owners can opt in to have public works carry out graffiti arc baitment along external corridors at not no cost to the businesses will support Small Businesses through so much during covid and revitalize our street scapes. Graffiti spiral out of control. And then the entire commercial corridor surface. Judging from the calls we think the public assumes it is the citys responsibility on private property like it is in new york and los angeles. So we need this legislation so that the Property Owner can give permission on the public works and wave liability issues for the department. We worked with staff to craft a pilot that would work for them. We leave the details to their discretion as we know best how to do this work. And they suggested that they would create regular routes that they would check every few days and paints over graffiti as they see it which is more current. If this passes, we businesses will have the chance to like sign up for it. But also if an owner does not know about the program if they receive a notice of violation they have time to opt in and arc void any fines. As you know, this there is 4 million over 2 years for this program of so, it is already funded. In the bla reports the cost analysis they used this term, seasonal, which i think is confusing. There is not a graffiti season. So as i understand it, that means the public works can adjust the schedule so it is regular but may not be the same volume every wrooer week all year. We heard from many Small Business owner in our district and neighbors anxious to get this launched. This monday the Small Business commission unanimously recommended it. So. I will step arc side in case there are questions. Thank you. There is a bla report on this . Thank you. Nick from budget legislative analyst office. So, as it is now, under the public works code Property Owners that have graffiti are responsible for abating it the board waived the fines during the pandemic but that expired. Item 15 is an ordinance that would amend the code to transfer responsibility on an opt in basis from Property Owners to the city to abate the graffiti and a Pilot Program for the next 20 months and there is an add back of 2 Million Dollars a year to funds this program. We showed the budget for the program as provide by public works. On page 59 of our report. I think it is reasonable given the work load data that we reviewed from public works. Said that, this is a policy change we consider to be an anthropologist matter for the board. Thank you very much. And i had a couple questions. First, thank you to you and supervisor melgar for this needed legislation. Graffiti and specifically the Mission District has never been worse. It is a major, major problem that you know my office is looking into how to hold stores accountal selling the materials used for graffiti because what we are seeing is large groups of people go buying going to a store buying paint and right out in the store graffiti the neighborhood it it is a disaster. You know origin a new senior Affordable Housing building in the Mission District was destroyed and to a cost to a nonprofit Affordable Housing developer of thousands of dollars it is tragic. And so im wondering how does a business sign up for this program . For example, the Affordable Housing development on 24th and harrison that has been graffitied from the moment it opened. Could that the minute this passes could that property call dpw and apply for membership. Could you describe how that works. Gi believe so. We will work with public works to create the form and make it very public. So people know about temperature so [laughter] sorry. Um sorry. Could you repeat. No problem. Is it up to public works to create the application process and who is eligible will every business be eligible. Did you put program terse within the legislation to allow inclusion or eccollusion of types of businesses . Is it first come first serve . Yea. It is by zoning. It is along commercial corridors unless they have a cbd that takes care of graffiti. And if there is a residential building on that corridor they would also be part of it that could be if they sign up for it. So thats all as long as you are a business or residence denos a commercial corridor you are eligible and in terms of signing up for the program. As far as you continue is first come first serve upon funded at 2 Million Dollars i imagine there is a limit to how many would not want to sign up for this, right . Im wondering how it will work or if there has been thought or that is saved for the next part of the regulations. Yea. Thats why it is a filot if successful we could expand it i agree to 2 million for the entire city is small and we definitely hope this will help with graffiti you know its difficult. You know the point is to sort of arrest it when it happens and hopeful low there is in the more spiralling out of control temperature is something that we can study with 3 eleven requests and see if it is working and adjust it. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. I also wanted commend and thank you and supervisor melgar for your work on this. I would love to be added as a cosponsor. I had questions about the scope of the problem and then the scope of this Pilot Program. In the bla report they site average Monthly Service orders city scombied on commercial corridors city wide it is like 34,000 Service Order and it is commercial corridor it is 5700. Is that what is a Service Order. Is that representative of how representative of that is the scope of the problem on the commercial corridors that 5700 a month. That number is a baptist an over estimate. Some of that is public property which is exclude immediate this legislation. I think the numberers 400 over 400 a month in the report. Approximate so we this we looked at that relative to the staffing proposed. And thinking about how long it takes to get out there. Address graffiti and do all the work that is necessary after. We thought it was a reasonable staff work load. Yea. Not quite im trying to understand. It looks like the range of the commercial corridor average montly Service Orders is 562 to 7 where are 9 over the last 4 years. Is that like a 311 what is this Service Order . I believe these other numbers of graffiti abatement orders public works had to under take each year. Got it. And what bpw, yea. Graffiti abatement orders and how representative is that of the over all problem in the commercial corridors, do you have a sense . I guess im not im you mean like to what how much graffiti are they getting to with the orders. Or how does it compare to the number of citations. We have not issued citations but is that the full scope of the businesses on or the properties on the commercial corridor, that need graffiti abatement. I dont think so. Sometimes the property ordinance abate it. There may be more abatement work done privately. That would not be captured in the data. Okay. And then for the Pilot Program with the resources that in the budget the 2 million, um is there a sense of how much that will cover. Of say of the is that covering all of the roughly, the Monthly Service orders . Public works would know the answer better than me. I believe they are on the line. Good morning. Hi. I think the estimate is pretty much for the corridor area. Itself. It can cover 2 Million Dollars again a Pilot Program first of all, im glad the program is implemented or start to implement because the way we tackle the graffiti the faster we abate. It should cover it is a pilot we will try to see and tackle as soon as possible. Only in the corridor program. Major corridor. Got it, thank you. You say with the additional was 7 full time staff working on this that the plan or goal is to have that be able to cover the what has been the average number of Service Orderings monthly. 562 to 709 . Correct. And those are from 311 but also the proactive requests we would generate our requests if we notice a problem next door that has graffiti and generate that order to take action on that. Great. This sounds great. Thanks again to all of you for your work on this. Supervisor safai. Thank you, chair. So worked at public works i know about this and thank you jonathan. Sounds like this will be a pilot to shift the burden away from private Property Owners to the city. But what i also want to hear is whats going to be don coordinate with the Police Department and the da office because a lot of the taggers are the amount of tag we have a lot of the taggers are repeat individuals. When you look at when i worked there the police would and public works would document the tags. They would estimate the value of the damage. As supervisor ronen says and sometimes in the millions of dollars. And there needs to be a level of accountability. Is that written in. As far as charging people they catch as far as coordination with public works and the Police Department and the courts and district Attorneys Offices. If we are just covering up the paints. Im for that. Since we had a vacation on graffiti enforcement, we have seen an explosion of graffiti more than we ever have. It is the bigef complaints we gechlt im happy this is moving forward. But if we are think burglar this in the longterm, what used to be done was a level of coordination. A lot of people think tagging and so on is gang related. A lot of the individuals that are involved in this ends up being 30 year old white males. That is the truth. It is not young there are some level of small tag with markers the people that dot spray paint and that level of tagging all along our commercial corridors over and over are 30 year old white males. A lot dont live in the city. And so what i want to know if we are doing this level of Pilot Program, it would be great to see if public works will work with the Police Department or asking these staffers to document. We can paint over the tagging because it is tagging not graf feet paint over the tagging we node a follow up plan to really see this decrease. Jonathan are you on the line . Yes. Can you talk a little bit about the coordination and the follow up . That might be planned part of this pilot . Yea. Im not sure about the public works have existing program that we are coordinate with pd with the pretrial diversion for graffiti abatement. You hit all the spot there. Thank you for up. Most of the tagger that get caught are adult male. And we all working with the San Francisco Police Department to actually have them abate graffiti in an area. As far as coordinate with other city agency or the City Attorney. Not familiar with that. Is is this something your office thought of. The legislation is silent on that. We had a big weekend graffiti incident in the westportal and reached out to our local police and they explained they have you know this they try to prioritize the people that it is obvious the same person doing a lot of damage. And building case. And i believe they can fine them for the property damageful so. Everything happened quickly during the budget process im happy this happening i did not have a chance to talk about this. I do see that there is general labor supervisor, 3 positions. 2 street inspectors. I just it would be great if there being be a level of coordination blin this. Since we do this pilot one of the metrics i would like is a level of coordination with the Police Department and the district Attorneys Office. As a way to show you know how we are trying to decrease the frequency of this. So jonathan said they work with pretile and pd that would be helpful. Good feedback. Thanks. Thank you, chair. Thank you. And i am curious and hope that there will be information given to our office when this is in affect. So we can inform the businesses in our district how to sign up. We have not worked on that yet. I hope it will be easy and online and public. Thank you. So with hacan we open this for Public Comment. Yes.

Members who are remote and wish to comment on this call 4156550001id24954145466 press pound twice then star 3 to enter the queue. System prompt will indicate you raised your hand and when you have been unmuted. Madam chair. Thank you. Good morning director. Thank you chair ronen. Acting director for d. Environment. Chair robe sxen members of the committee i will provide a brief over view over this accept and extend. Since this last 4 the committee on april 6 there are a few change i will review. I want to note that this grant predates my tenure at the department and when this first came on april 6 and so upon arriving what i asked the team to do was to take in all the feedback we heard at committee and review this item with the office of contract and citys Attorneys Office to make sure hathis we could address the issues. So one of the things we were able to address was the questions the waiver issue. And so what you will see is that the retroactivity was removed because it is not retroactive. And based with the office of contract and City Attorney we removed the sole source waiver. This is in the a contract and identified partners as coapplicants as part of our Grant Application. This does not address the occurrence that were raised on the competitive solicitation part of this. That is something that is not able to be addressed base on the fact this grant was available back in and applied for in 2020 and so what we have looked as what are those compet hi upon opportunity within the grant that are available and so there is a 150 thousand dollars ability for us to go out for a competitive solicitation working with local cbos to work with community on implementing the project. Outside of that we want to confirm with office of Contract Administration and the City Attorney of whether the appropriate rules and procedures were followed relative to this application. And they have confirmd that it was done. But i do hear the concern of this committee as far ass the node to have i more transparent press as we go through putting the applications together and submitting for them. For these person projects. I dont think anyone will argue that these are not person project and it is more the process the team usa were formed and how the application was done. I think as the acting director, you know my commitment is to work with administration with the City Attorney on figuring out there process. There is a bit of lack of clarity for how we are able to select coapplicants for grants within especially with this grant was applied for. I will go to the next slide just to provide a brief summary of what the grant will do. So there are a couple major components of this grant. As you see the grant acceptance is 2. 4 Million Dollars and for context, this is equal to the machiney the board of supervisor added back to the departments budget to continue the Climate Action plan it it is a significant investment to electric infrastructure for the city and support the staff working on this. The 4 major parts of this, this that will be moving forward are the mapping tool. Having an ombudsman for direct service to the public on ev charging. A project in the bay view to install fast charging hubs which is need in the this portion of the city. And program for food delivery inspired by the lafco study. Just to summarize the amendments that are before this committee, again, the grants partners are correct low labeled as coapplicants and subgrantees and we clarified the waiverers not required and removed the retroactive portion. I am here to answer questions. Okay thank you. We have bla reporter on this item. Thank you. Hour upon analysis of this Grant Agreement has not changed. We provide the full report. It is a miss the opportunity. I want to emphasize there are no rules competitive process selecting the applicants. I think it is something the board could address in future legislation to close that gap. And you know i would point out that it it is not impossible to have done so. The department of homelessness applied within a two month window for state funding for the first home grants the city got with a coapplication with Community Services selected them through an rfq process. I think you know, given this is phase 2 of a grant cycle that will is Fund Projects identified in phase one, which was a planning document produced in 2019, i think that really was a missed opportunity to identified partner in a competitive public way. That the department could work with Going Forward. Happy to answer other questions. Why supervisor safai. Thank you, those other conversations we had the other day. My the way this was brought to us initially was sole source contract it has been changed to be coapplicants on a grant proisz. I want to preface by saying the new director is a couple mont in his job if that. And he is coming in to look at a process that was not his making. So i want to acknowledge that we had a conversation this morning, i know your attempt is to been Going Forward and how to prepare to make the department. I feel uncomfortable how this came together it is hard to operate hafrom the good work that could be done with the money. We need charging station in areas of the city that electric car company dont believe are their prime target. Similar conversation we had with Scooter Companies or any mobility Style Company forward thinking that is think burglar the environment that is new and advanced. They are often over look the southeast part of the city including my district. Idea is for them to put a charging station bay view Hunters Point is a lotable goal as well as get knowledge delivery by delivery individuals. Off of polluting vehicles and putting them on you know electric vehicles. I want it state i think those are all lotable goals. Our job is to look at the process by which that was put together. For me my question is, the grant coapplicants were hand selected. There are other i mean i dont know if im able to say qualified im not judging based on a criteria. There are other organizations local low that do similar work. I will say that. And so for me it it is hard to think, how this was other than just saying that individuals within the agency knew the organizations and hand selected and said, come on. The processes we have seen are usually once there has been an rfq or rfp the department will with a nonprofit or noncity agent, coapply for state funding or Grant Funding. That is after there has been a process. Upon want to giveut opportunity to respond to this and see how we can do better Going Forward the other aspect i understand you applyd and usual dont find out until you are arc worried the opinion and he start date is a year prior when you received the money thank you. I think those are good points raised and things we have to work on and looking for the opportunity to have that transparent process. I think the example around like project home key that was raised, you know there is a resource issue not saying this was here for this situation but you know it does take a resources to be able to not only dot rfq but keep that list fresh as well. And up until now until this board had money back to the budget to fund positions we had 1 and a half positions in the department devoteed electric vehicle transportation and both of the positions that funding has been grant funded. And so, this has been the nature of like they had to look within the constraintses of how they are fund today apply for opportunity that advance the goal. We have been in this loop of trying to bring in money to the city and i think in this case, they you know every grant they apply for takes an amount of time. The team pulled together when they believe was the the best team that they could to be successful at getting the grant. And im certain that happen in the this case. There was not like we like this company more than the other. It was if you look at the experience qualifications, once the qualifications came out from the Grant Application, they said, who can we partner with to make sure this money benefits San Francisco . Going forward. I agree we have 50 projects out lined in the 2019 road map. There will be some. Not sure it is visible for every single one just because to maintain an rfq for that those number of projects begin there is in certainty when this funding will become available does become a bit of a challenge because you know i think if we look at when the road map came out in 2019. If we play out where we had the resources and did not rfq to the best our ability not knowing what the future grant opportunity the be we could have a certified list in 2019 and in this case, it was in the 2 years later until there was funding available for a specific projects as part of that road map. And so the qualifications did in the become known but imagine if we had that rfq list from 2019 and not funding for 5 years this is could be a possibility, too the cdc does not provide money for projects for 5 years. We have to be in this mode of updating the rfq to make it fresh if we are in the relying on an rfq5 or 7 years old. Those other challenges i raised them we have to figure out as we figure through what that transparency process looks like. And then figuring out that balance of maintaining transparency y. How many staff do you have . So, there are approximately currently there are 75 staff, 100 if we are fully. I thank you is aer matter i not the model of department of environment is grant fund work. And so this also might be a function of your department now grow to a point where you now have to rethink some of your practices. And so you know given the context in which we are in now, you know with regard to sole source contracting and with regard to nonprofits hand selected. All of the things we are concerned about seems to me that it is really hard to justify that you there would be this process. I mean, seems that you could have broad categories again. I know you are thinking about this. Broad categories that people that do, x, works, that allows a list of people you work with in broad categories to sigh these other people we want to and choose from. That has been our practice i have seen with other departments. You know when we opened the therapeutic community. D ph was how is this happening quickly . Adult probation had their list and done an rfq, they were able to go and choose the vender doing that type of work. When it is opportunity became available. And so i think if were like we did this now in 2022 how long is this valid. That is part of the work with Contract Administration and City Attorney can give guidance. The idea of saying we hand selected the folks thats who we knew does good work temperature is hard to defend that. I feel bad. I want to say i feel bade think the work the implementation of the work is extremely important it is important work. I feel conflicted about this choice. Supervisor mar . Thank you chair ronen. I share supervisor safais concern around the process and with selecting and going with the coapplicant. Since they are for profit business in what is an emerging new sector and from what i see competitive. But i do appreciate you know acting director chew and theed sf staff on coming back to yous for this today. You know after we discuss third degree previously. And you having you having really looked at um yea. At the process and huthat can be sort of um tightened up and ensuring that moving forward. That there is as much transparency and clearer guidelines on how we select. We are talking about coapplicants and subcontractors for Grant Applications and i appreciate you responding to the blas recommendations, too. I had a question around ev go. They other private for profit subcontractor here. I believe the others are nonprofits and the largest amount are there other electric Vehicle Charging Companies that could have potential low been a coapplicant or subcontractor in i know they are a little difference as far as technical and market focus. Thank you for the question. Yes, there are a number of charging providers out there. Ev go was selected because of their expertise in experience in installing fast charging stations that was a component of the Grant Application they were selected based on history delivering successful projects and also their experience delivering on fast charging stations, which was key component of the Grant Application. Got t. I know some of other ev Companies Issue not necessarily doing as of now fast charging stations, there are others, too like electric america. I use that sometimes. Yes but my question is, would there have been another company that could have also filled the same role as ev go creating a fast charging plaza . Certainly. Like im not going to deny there could have not been another provider that filled the role of ev g. I can only speak to why they were selected begin with. But i think that comparison to the other companies i say they have had more experience and success getting guarantees to do this fast charging work throughout california and the bay area. Thank you. And i had a question around the the specific project this they are wing on. This would be to create a fast charging plaza. That is like a new ev version of a gas station . In would be located in bay view or Equity Community. Youville nicole it come up and talk about the details of project. Thank you. Hello. For the fast charging hub that is differents in it functions like a gas station there are multiple charging stations all located at 1 site, and the plan is to have that installed in bay view Hunters Point as part of the grant woad install 2 additional fast charger hubs with locations to be determined. So there will be 3 3 fast charging stations one in bay view and 2 others in yes and total 25 total fast chargers across the city. Great. And i know there is already other Company Catharsis ev go as well moving ahead with creating the stations without a public subsidy from what i understand. In my district on 19th avenue there hen a site under discussions about converting it to a fast charging plaza. Ev go was involved in that, too. I know there will need to be public subsidy for us to really jump start you know all the differents Climate Action and infrastructure needod the ev side is building decarbonization i have been working on. I guess my question is. The subsidy for this really needed because it is Equity Community and they would not otherwise do it or is it needed just to get in order to get support more fast charging stations and hubs created . So for charging hub type of project, there are increased costs associated the for the hardware and Software Applications but also for upgraded electric capacity which would be something this would be i think more necessary due to the initial chargers per site. So it would not necessary low be related the location of fast charger hub in a Disadvantaged Community but the number of chargers going in and related electric capacity upgrades may vary site to site. Got it. And again, im sorry, just because i have been aware of one ev go and different ev charging provider that has been planning a fast charging station on 19th without a public subsidy im want to understand you know i think to answer your question supervisor mar. In order to get the fast charging in bay view Hunters Point you have to provide an incentive we have seen this through the district data you be incentives provided bite state or air district, they will go with the ev adoption goes. They will go toward the affluent areas which have a higher adoption of ev and leave area this is dont typeset does in the fit their funding model or profit model, otherwise. Providing incentive we direct them like in order to encourage and in order to expand ev adoption we have to provide the resource like bay view Hunters Point limited partner is obviously more historic knowledge and issues around air pollution have you to provide that for them to install the charging then can then extend ev adoption within the neighborhood now there is charging options to that community. That is helpful that is what i wanted here inform my district we got fast charging stations installed without a subsidy 2 safe ways. Good on see this moving forward with equity. Thank you. Thank you. So doumit an amendmented us you wanted to amend the sole source and the retroactivity i dont see amendments. I believe they have been submitted. I dont know they are on file they should have been submit federal they were not. Any of us have the amendments . Okay. Right. Brent did you receive any. I have not. Im sorry i missed the question madam chair. Budget and legislative analyst and the presentation from Department Environment say that the Department Going to submit amendments but i have not seen the amendments. I did circulate them on monday. Madam chair. I did not see those. Colleagues do you see them. I have recirculated them to you. Thank you, i dont. See them yet. As im waiting to finds those amendments, you the oh. I have not got them. Um so you said is anyone here from office of Contract Administration. Here they are. Because i would love to hear when they are plan nothing terms of issuing guidance and regulations for a competitive process when there will be coapplicants to grants. Thank you, i believe director correla is on line. From the office of Contract Administration. Yes. Hello. Good morning supervisors. And i apologize for my interruption of the meeting the office of cop tract administration has been work width City Attorney to understand better what departments are doing. And in terms of selecting applicants as you noted essential low there is a bit of a gap here. There are no rowels and regulations that governor how departments select but departments have been doing that in different ways. Someplace do a sort of solicitation and i think sometimes other departments dont do that. So, that said, under chapter 21 goings the purchaser is authorize topside issue rules and we can address the issue through rules and regulations we want to w with the departments to understand their grant making needs first. Thank you. Okay. And then can you explain, so, why is this no longer retroactive. Why on the original legislation it said that the grants started on march 28 now it does not start until august first . So i believe they were planning to use the funds and retroactively apply them to cover staffing costs but that was not done. They have in the spent any money for that was projected to be used for this. Okay. I want to just echo what my colleague supervisor safai said and we are just we are really uncomfortable with the process. In the that this grant went through. But at the same time we are in between a rock and hard place we like the substance of the grant and dont want to lose the money. But this puts nus a very uncomfortable situation. I think we had enough public vetting of exactly what happens. So what i would like to say in the future is you know to you and all other departments dont do this to us. Dont sends us a Grant Application or contract where there has not been a competitive process. Where partners are hand picked especially when one of the partner system a private profit making company and an organization outside of San Francisco when we are pleviny of organizations that are inside San Francisco that are really well suited. To providing this type of service that happened to be in communities of concern. That work with low wage workers. I cant tell you how perfect a pull there would be, for example, for the bike messenger part of this organization. It is an organization in my district that works with low next communities of color that that has this intersection with environmental justice, bikes and helping low wage workers create coop and have living wage opportunities. It really like im sure in any competitive press they would rise quickly to the top t. Foals like a wasted opportunity for some of our home grown organizations that might be better suited to be part anywheres with our department of environment. Than you know, nothing against grid but saying, i dont know they share the same components. Of working with under represented communities in ways that promote environmental justice. So, with that supervisor safai du have other. I have a couple more questions im sorry. The other thing i noticed 150 thousand dollars to hire a Community Based organization to engage residents and businesses. Impacted by the new charging. You plan top have that go through a competitive process. Thank you for the question. Supervisor. Yes. That would go through a competitive solicitation process and we will put that out there as a grant for competitive and open process for Community Based organizations to do that work. And the other thing and may be it said, i cant find it but is this charging station this is going to be constructed says 8 stations those are free . No. They are not. So and they are operated by ev go . They will be operated by ev g. Getting monfreus to insfaul stations that they will make money on. They will be getting monfrethe California Energy commission grant. Getting money from the state through this California Commission grant. I get it. Why okay. Somehow i thought this was the pilot was going to be seems the pilot portion is the 30 out base deliver tow see how that works. This is about fast charging stations. And their receiving grant money and they will make, do you know is it competitive . And how many stations does ev go operate around the city . Reason i ask is because as someone who owns an electric car when i go to the stations they are broken remembering my biggest frustrations with electric stations they are useless. You spend 15 minutes trying to get it to work and it does not work. So can you tell me more about so00 eye get it they are getting monnet grant. They will put machine in. They build the station. They will make money off it but what is the over all you know design, will it be managed. How often maintained. What is the over all focus of this aspect of the contract . Im nicole im an Energy Specialist with department of environment. In terms of design of the project, they plan to be 8 fast chargers at this location that will be in operation and our intent is to make sure they have up time of over 95 . Customers and Community Members dont run in the same challenge urs identifying. Our department is dedicated to making sure the chargers that we try hard to get in the city are maintains and operational so that when an ev driver goes to get the needed charge they are wing. We are working with the electric Vehicle Coordinating Council and looking at data testing to make sure this liability is increasing because published paper identified the same occurrence, were are work nothing other counties to combat that. Dpch especially since we will be helping manage this grant, and working so closely with e vushgs go ensure the up timeser maintained ensure it is maintained longer term we will work with the project leados that to ensure the up times are met and continuing that Community Engagement to ensure that it is an Operational Site that remains safe and accessible. Do you know how many stations ev go has in the city. I dont know the number but manage similar fast charging in the bay area that has more than 5dc fast chargers. Are they going to own the stations in perch taoist. Why they are going to own the stations. Im not sure what the length of time is. I understand it is 1. 6 to build the station who where is the lands who is owning the lands has this been identified the location. I think there has been a po serb sight for bay view and mentioned for 2 other stations active low looking for site opportunity. And using our blueprint mapping tool to identify opportunity for sites that would benefit communities and provide shared charging applications across dwelling. Single family home ordinance and work places. So. What i read here in the report is that it is designed for 8 stations and arc soul they will number the same location. Why right. 1 plaza. And there will be a couple more what single charging stations installed in other places to be determined y. Yes 2 additional charging hubs. That will feature 15 chargers between the 2. Manage like 8 chargers and a second to be determined location and 7 in a third to be determined location. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

An ordinance amending the code for use certain form contracts to purchase and sell electricity bipuc grant labors specifies reporter s and the administrative and environment codes for the transactions and delegate to the general manage puc9. Within 18 to execute contracts and terms for 10 years or exanticipated revenue of a million or more through june 302027. Members joining us remoted and which to contact us on the phone call 4156550001id24954145466 press pound, pounds then star 3 to enter the queue. Madam chair . And mrs. Hail is here from the puc. Good afternoon supervisors. Im barbara hail assistant general manager for power ordinance before you today addresses the authority of the pucs general manager to execute contracts for purchase and sale of electricity and related product it is the wholesale contracts support clean power sf programs the hemp y program serves 4500 generate electricity ourselves to serve this program through the water and power system. We purchase electricity to meet customer need when is not generating and sell generation when we have it in excess of needs. The budget and financial plans project 30 Million Dollars a year for the purchase of electricity in related products over the next 5 years. Our clean four power sf serves 385,000 customer accounts. For this program we most lee purchase electricity in related products needed through competitive bid and sell products from the customer when we have product in excess of needs. The clean power sf budget and financial plans project 250 Million Dollars a yearch for the purchase of electricity and related products over the next 5 years. Together, these programs provide 70s of the electricity consume in the San Francisco. The proposed ordinance delegate to the puc general manager the use of form contracts for the purchase and safely electricity products under limited conscience for a limited number of years. These contracts standards form contracts. Which the board has approved for use for both programs. These are form contracts are used the most by our staff to transact electricity related product in the industry. And in addition the puc staff developed now and resunrised form Purchase Agreements with the city Attorneys Office with the joint Power Authority, California Community power, to address powers on going power supply requirements. These agreements leverage Industry Standard terms and incorporate San Francisco specific requirements. For example our limited payment obligations. Our guaranteed max costs. We are asking to you approve the on going use of the form agreements that are described in sections a9 and a10 and 11. If the draft ordinance. The agreements build on the prior authorizations of the board. Recognizing that new products are now available mriek stand alone Energy Storage not available just a few years ago and the need for simple term when is we are transacting for small are projects like the mauler renewable projects. Along with the use of these form agreements the ordinance would delegate authority to the puc general manager to enter in the agreements for the safely purnot just purchase but also the sale. Charter section 9. 118 requires contracts result in revenues more than a million or more to be approved bite board of supervisor this is delegation will allow power and clean power sf to cell excess electricity for the benefit of repairs and the ordinance would delegate authority to the general manager to execute power supply contracts with terms greater than 10 years or require expenditures of 10 million or more capped at 150 million per year. And for the anticipated ref now in excess of a million or more subject it a revenue limit of 10 million per year. The expenditure and revenue caps could be increased by a board of supervisors resolution. And then the ordinance includes a reporting reporter . So i have spent a bit of time describing the what. And now id like to yous take a bit of time to discuss the why. Why are we asking for this frank low, the success of our power programs requires the city to operate and act at a commercial pace now more than ever. The markets volatile and very competitive and the regular reporte requirements are floud. Commercial pace the requirement that all contracts that are 10 years or more and 10 million or more in cost, go before the board of supervisor. Creates a challenge for us in participating in the electricity markets at a commercial pace. Some of the products we need to protect our rate payers from volatility are offered with short pricing windows. Am we entered in agreements for the products at terms or in quantities constraining ourselves to less then and there 10 yers or less than 10 upon Million Dollars in contract costs. This means that we men missing out on opportunity to procure Lower Cost Energy supplies for customers. A longer commitment could get you a lower price. Products that are available in attractive process were purchasing up to that stay in the 10 million cap. Market volatility. Past year we seen increase in volatility in the power supply markets made it difficult for to yous successful low transact begin approval time lines the market price volatility reduced the ability of supplyers to hold price submitted in our longer serm solicitations for the amount of time required to obtain approvals. When there are market price volatility when we mode to most be sponsive to make sure products are affordable. The competitive mark we have seen growth in the number of buyers. You remember that back in 2016 when we began serving under clone power sf we were the fourth to start. Now there is 24 operating ccas in california that it is a great statement about progress but it means we have more competitors, there are more buyers in the market and a significant increase in demand for scarce electricity resources and limited new shovel ready renewable project this is demand means more are pursuing limited set of offers sellers have alternatives to doing business with San Francisco to the extent San Francisco cannot act at the pace or on terms required in the market. The electricity resource will contract with other buyers. It is a fact of a competitive market the 40 and final element was requirements. They are fluid. We see new on going new procurement requirements all the time. Most low from the california puc. Issuing procure am under and ares capacity requirements. Failure to meet the requirements has financial and reputational consequence the delegating authority to the puc general manager will help us move more quickly and acquire the most Cost Effective power supply resources to serve customer and meet requirements. It ensure when is we are products to sell, we acts as commercial pace to achieve the best price. Thank you for considering this item today im available to answer questions you may have. Thank you impressively we have a bla report on this item . Yes, thank you. An ordinance that would delegate authority to the puc to enter in certain contracts. Broad low speak the board of supervisors has to approve contracts that exceed 10 Million Dollars or 10 years and what this legislation would do is arcllow puc to enter in contracts without coming to the board so long as the contracts dont exceed twitch years or total 150 Million Dollars a year or do not total 10 mission a year in revenue. Legislation also waves code requirements that are typically included in city contractless. And i would note that we did work with the department to better understand the need for the delegated authority. The board granted in prior years. They did provide documentation of Different Energy market transactions the contracts would be used for. Including some projects where they have to close within less than a day. And then some projects like Resource Adequacy like the reporter s the general manager was tuck burglar take a couple weeks but that could happen any time of year. I think this delegated authority is consistent with what the board has done in the past. But it is still giving up boards Charter Authority for this reason we consider prove to be a policy malice aforethought for the board. Thank you so much. Supervisor safai. My question is have you had examples where you have gotten a lower price. Real had opportunities to procure more Energy Supply and to be allocated more resources to the process. Where we could have transacted at a higher volume. At a process that was attractive. But unable to do that. In the setting we are allocated through california puc process resources that are rate payors pay for through the power charge and difference adjustment. They pay for the base cost. We are being presented with an opportunity for Renewable Resources with pg and e and pia portion of those costs. We submitted a request to pg and e limiting ourselves to a value at less than 10 Million Dollars. Because of the constraintses that process we per schedule the california puc allowed pg and e to move forward we have to transact in 10 days. We knew wield not have this authority and ooze it or have the ability to process this. Through a Standard City practice. I understands the what you described in purchasing and selling. But you also referenced Energy Contracts that it is one this came before us. And it included a number of the different provisions and administrative code we very much i dont know why you would tlaefrn we did that successful low that is a longer term infrastructure investment. Sometimes on puc land sometimes not. Yes. That does in the make sense in your reasoning you presented j. Sure. In that circumstance these i believe supervisor you are referring to the goal line and tumble weed projects that were approved by our commission and the board so thank you for that. And that circumstance we are partnering with a collection of other ccas through the joint Power Authority California Community power. And in that setting, we were able to shape the rfo process and the expectations together with our partners. We were able to say to them, we will need 90 days between commitment of the Counter Party to move through our approval process. So we got that 90 day commitment going in that rfo process. That is a an important element, the fact we got the 90 day agreement up front. We have included those contracts. As form agreements in this Delegation Authority request. And we have dhan in part because which 90 day matters . Right . If familiar the 90 days happen the board budget consideration and recess period. No, i get it i understand. Im saying personal low. I dont feel comfortable with that. You brought the contracts in the past. We moved and Infrastructure Development longterm place am. And it is lasting. What you described to us in the entirety of that the bl arc presented is to move quickly to buy and sell energy im in agreement with that im not comfortable with the part you dont come with the longterm energy. There are environmental impacts and Community Impacts. Energy Storage Facilities get large and smaller. A number of different codes that would be applied. That persian i dont feel comfortable the rest of it i agree with. And i think that one day 2 weeks felony days we cant move fast to do that and want to be competitive and rate payors have the best option for purchasing good energy. I think that makes sense. But lumping in Energy Storage and the other small are contracts does not make sense to me. If i miwe find Energy Storage products available on the market not when it is something this built but something this is built already and Counter Party vs portions of the product under contract but not all we would like to be able to include Energy Storage among those contract products we have exercise a delegated third degree authority sto so we are not limited through storage products with a longterm agreement as tumble weed projects were. And to have that flexibility to be responsive when those products are on the market. Them is a question for City Attorney or sfpuc is have have this ever been doneful for any sitting department the board has waived authority cord to charter 9 opinion 118 and allowing a City Department to just skip the process. So we do have you see in the ordinance. Have the opportunity to have delegated authority in the past. The budget legislative analyst mention today for the commodities. Those are not, this is a really competitive market. The prices can change. Fairly quickly the requirements we face can change quickly. I think it is under those circumstances that the board heads delegated authority to the puc in the past for these products. And as those products available and treatd that way in the marketplace change we like to bring those new types of projects forward as we are the Energy Storage. I will defer to city faern there is anything further, pleasech an pierson. I was going to say the same i know there are a precedent with this del gigz for puc. As to other departments i think there have been other delegations the board delegated to settlements and other things. I have to look to see which department it is where they have delegated that authority. Why thank you. My question is one, have we done this before . Is this setting a situation and it is not. Een though im uncomfortable, again. Not about because of as a puc but general low that the board of supervisors allowing any City Departments to skip charter for condition tract oversight that reason chair ronen, i respectfully suggesting to amendments to this item today but if it is possible. It is the idea coming from arc accountability. The first is to change the annual reporting reporter s to quarter low. I believe they are already doing for the commission. This i would like to be that consistent if the commission if the commission is getting the quarter low report the board should, too receive that. I can confirm we are committed to provide being a quarter low report to our commission. I think the seconded metropolitan i know it it is not easy to have this conversation but torous the terms of the delegation to the generaling manager from now as written from 3 years from 5 years to 3 years. I think it has a lot to do with the fact i think that this statute board that have some Institutional Knowledge and experience. And dealing with this. I think this 5 year system too long. I think 3 years at least allow you perhaps come back before it xriered to have a conversation with the board whether this is a successful practice and should we continue and allow the board during budget time to look at the contract that wills have been issued and evaluate whether we want to extend the delegation of the general managers authority. The concept of 5 year being reduceed 3 is something this we can work with. I think that we are expecting then that money we have about 2 years worth of experience before we come become through the process. And seeking additional authority. I appreciate it. That means that like in 2 years time, 150 Million Dollars each year about 300 Million Dollars you can well almost uncheck but accountability quarter low. Coming back with report and understanding how the progress is being made with a contract and the event the board can see this is working well. Puc sees it is working well and the City Attorneys support consider the extension of the delegation. Thats all i have, thank you, chair ronen. Appreciate it. Thank you. And supervisor chan thank you for the amendments. Supervisor safai were you suggesting additional amendments. So my concern is that i think all of the other arguments that have been presented make sense the idea of on page 4 section b under area 10 line 11 storage Purchase Agreement and puc Renewable Power and Energy Storage agreement. Are the same thing and over limited partner . It is fair it say they over lap. We sometimes purchase now in the opportunity on purchase stand alone storage that is what 10b addresses. And felony a addresses when approximate solar and storage are colocated and cooperated. We need separate terms. Got it. I again i appreciate everything you presented. It makes sense. I think upon given past privacy you gos having the review the environmental imfact the Community Impact it makes sense you would bring those in front of body and examples of where you hit road blocks and presented a problem im happy to consider and amend it Going Forward. Why we may i give an example now. Thank you. We conducted air request for offers. We received bids. We began the internal city process for review and prove. In the projects we would recommend they were project this is fell in 10a and 10b. If Memory Service correct storage was an element and solar. We had process through city internal approvalless. Working with the contract admin bureau and others. And a number of the bidders with drew bids during that press because it is taking too long. Part of what the reason why this is shaped as an ordinance is to make sure that everyone understands it is a delegated authority and we need to act fast so we dont lose the opportunities. I understand. How much capacity and Energy Storage does the agent anticipate the need. We had the review and talked about the impact it a low income Latino Community in the southern part of the state. There was environmental impacts. There is considerable Community Impacts. For me i would feel comfortable this it this body have the opportunity to review those contracts Everything Else im in agreement with. Were we to be the sponsors. A project approximate where we would i will back up. Any project in any of the contracts they dependsant on complying with ceqa. Were we to be bringing a project to completion on city owned land. Right . Where we were responsible we would also be add here to ceqa. Those projects i would expect although we have the authority to potential low to execute without through the commission and board process. I would expect we bring those through the city and board process. City owned land is a different circumstance. We need to directly come ploy as opposed a contract term. Community interests take a different form. I understand seems to be represented you were able to stay up front in rfo you needed 90 days or less that worked. Yes, you could continue to use that as a practice and if was impedament you could show it has been a major problem i dont see it we dont have to keep going back and forth im trying to avoid it being a problem where we lose opportunity and ends up with a less affordable program. So. I heard director hail saying that they lost bidders in the process. We approved 2 contracts. I understand that. Im what because they said up front they needed 90 day in this recent incident i did not hear her say they med that clear as part of the rfo they need team they sm say some bidders dropped out. Right but for example did the biders that drop out offer i dont know if you did a complete analysis but were they more competitively processed . Thank you for the question. Supervisor, yes, the more attractive 2 of the bidders this dropped out were more attractive bidders. We are prenl not going to sign any contracts after going through that rfo process. We are hopeful a fresh process that acts at better commercial fits will result in us able to get good bids we retain. Per of the challenge we face is that we are not only ones in the marketed try to strike deals. These are developers who have opportunity to go other places and it is in the just a passive opportunity they got other Aggregation Program and public u stillities saying, here sign with us we will do it today. Why are you waiting around. Why would they and they are Business People and commercial interest is get a deal. If we are saying yes, you have a deal we think pretty sure 3 months from now the marketed will change in this 3 mont period they want to be capitolizing on higher prices. Situation this body does in the like to give up our authority of oversight and responsibility. We take it seriously. And do not give it up easily. Having said this, i am quite frankly shockd and thrilld and grateful that they did not increase rate this is year given what the havoc that is our Energy Market at the moment. I think supervisor chans amendments are very thoughtful and give me more confidence that we will get regular updates not annual but we will understand how and why you exercise this option. It is t is limited to 3 and not 5 years gives us an opportunity to review and decide if we want to continue this delegation moving forward. So you know for whatever it is worth i the be manslaughter i think id like to give the puc the opportunity to delegate the authority storage purchase and monitor it close low and see. I just i cant imagine how competitive this market is now especially given the Worldwide Energy needs given the war. Russia and ukraine i know this it is renewable and not oil but the markets are interlinked and i want our rate payors to get the best deal and i want to see the puc continue to keep rates the same and not raise the rates. I would be am im okay with delegating this under the terms of 3 years with quarter low reports. Okay. With this can we open this up per Public Comment. Why yes. Members who twoish spoke in person line up. Remote call 4156550001id24954145466 press pound, pounds then star 3. Witness unmuted begin your comments. Seeing no in person in the chamber. There are nest speakers in the queue. Why Public Comment is closed. I have eightyone last question. Is per of the delay that you have to go through your own commission and then come to the board of supervisors . Is that really what the delay is . I think that is a factor. The ccas they have a one stop shop. Right. They go to just their governing board. That is a factor. The 30day waiting period the city process things they dont have rules like that. So when it goes to their governing board it is a brown act meeting with brown act notice requirements but not some of the added features that the city process has. Right. Okay. I would points that out something for the board to consider newscast future. One thing rather then and there giving away our authority require that contracts of a size do we have the ability to say it does they could say not go to the commission and come to the board of supervisors . This seems what they do in, places. You are asking whether or not the board could ordinance bypass a commission. I think we have to look careful low because the commission is the oversight body i dont know if you could upon without a charter metropolitan to chos to review contracts. Why got it. Thank you. Okay. The puc Commission Delegated authority to the general manager this this case. They already delegated. Du want to make your amendment on the record. Sounds like you are not supportive. It is okay. I dont. I mean if you want to weigh in supervisor mar. You were willing to have it come if pu c lander government you would come back that would be a compromise where we add that language in the ordinance. Rather than voluntary doing it would that be a substantive amendment. An amendment reporter the puc to provide additional reporting to the board . No. I mean you had said that in du want to retate that hai was trying to express. This is a delegated authority we would not we would not rely on. For everything it covers 50 of our budget for power supply. So that means 50 of it not going to be able to be delegated. I think it is also fair to say there are circumstances and the city owned property s is the example i gave. Where i thought we would be bringing a project like that where we are in control of the project. Much more then and there we are when we are out in the market. And so we are there is puc ownership involved. Acceptance and instances of city owned property. I think we can do that. And i dont want to do it on the fly. I think that it would be a nonsubstantive amendment you are scaling back the scope of the delegation if this committee wanted send it to the full board we could have that amendment made at the board that sounds great. I agree with vice chairs maam. I understand like the impact of the weather local bill out or a type of storage agreement that contract that impact our neighborhoods and i think that is a meaningful amendment. Thank you. Thank you. So with that i will make a motion to amend the item by supervisor chan. A vote on that amendment . Or motion. On that motion, to amend the ordinance as offered by supervisor chan. Vice chair safai. Why aye member mar y. Aye chair ronen aye y. We have throw ayes and i other than that supervisor safai will work with the city Attorneys Office to prepare the Second Amendment at the full board. But i think we are prepared sends this as amended the full board with positive recommendation. On that motion to forward this to the full board with positive recommendation vase chair safai. Aye mar. Aye ronen aye thank you that motion passes. Thank you. Mr. Clerk and thank you. Supervisor chan. Read item 7.

Leaving for agreements requirements in the administrative and environment codes approving agreements with expend tours excess of 10 million and modification was agreements that dont create liabilities to the city and members ginning remote and wish to comment call 4156550001id24954145466 press pound, pound then star 3. Madam chair. Thank you. Good afternoon. Now. Reporter reporter im dan cap listen im the Human Service Department Director for administration and finance this ordinance before you allows for the extension of subset of the booking agreements that we and turns to part of the citys Covid Response urn the mayor avenue emergency we were authorized to extend agreements to august therein of 22. And at holingses used for shell and isolation quarantine during the pandemic. Extensions beyond august 31 of 22 would be possible with an ordinance by the board of supervisors and allowing for extension and this is that ordinance. Under the 45th supplement booking agreements with not to exceed amounts over 10 Million Dollars. Continue today require prove by the board and continue to in the future. Under charter section 9. 118 the ordinance before you grants the authority to extend agreements beyond august therein, and im going to describe 3 groups of hotelless we will use this for. The first are 5 hotels that are specific low mentioned in the ordinance itself. And these are 5 hotels that will have in the to exceed amount of over 10 Million Dollars the arc dante. Buchanan. Vertigo, monarch and kova. There are 2 other hotels that the board approved extensions for back in march. Those other americana and the whittcome and the way written hsa had the authority to extend the agreements up to august 31st of this year. And with this ordinance which was contemplated at that time would be able to extend the agreements further. And the not to exceed amount in the contracts in approvals would not change because the later dates were contemplated the time the board actless on those resolutions. And then the third group are a group of smaller agreements will not reach the 10 Million Dollars level and those are with hi San Francisco city center. Banea viv the good hotel and the days inn hotel. The majority of the cites will be demobilized during this calendar year, the ordinance does authorize hsh to extend and assign a limited subset of the extended green lights to hsh to be used as none congregate shelters with an end date of august of 2023. And it is our intention to do that with 3 of the agreements that are mention in the this ordinance those other a dante the kova and the monarch. Bla has done a report. The recommendation is to reduce the not to exceed amount of the buchanan holing 1. 4 Million Dollars. From 14. 1 Million Dollars to 12. 7 Million Dollars reflect an end date of september 30 of 22 rather than december 31 of 22 which is the date in the ordinance. And we are comfortable with this recommendation. So noel simons and i will be ready it answer 83s after the bla report. Thank you. An ordinance that allows the department of Human Services agency to extend Hotel Agreements that were in under the covid emergency through august therein of 23. And also approved 5 agreements noted exceed the threshold require board approval. Show on page 28 of our report the 11 agreements extended some are hotels wounds down over the next 6 months and 3 of them are noncongregate shelters one converted to that and one is used by the Public Health department as alcohol sobering center. Noted now we did review the occupancy of the sites and noted the buchanan is empty. There is no plans to have more guests on that site. We had a recommendation to end that agreement. There was funding to be term nitted at the end of assessment. We think this is sufficient time to line that program down and the departments does agree to recommend approval. Thank you. I have a few questions and im not sure who is the person to answer. Feel prix to come up. So fema is still reimbursing the city for 90 in the terms of the fema reimbursement changed over the course of the Trump Administration less generous and biden add administrator started eligible costs about 90 of the costs of the sip program were eligible costs. And most recently as we got in this local fiscal year, the fema terms changed again exactly reimburse 90 of eligible costs. That gets us to eightyone of. Why that is helpful y. And this is true, too for the sites that you will extend and turn in to noncongregate shelters. We are contemplating funding those with state room key money. How much will that Funding Source cover . The allocation that we have is about 32 Million Dollars. So we are hobbling together a list of funds. That include fema the largest but thing also room key money. Hud money from Emergency Solutions grants. And Community Development block grant money. And a bit of prospect c shelter money im confused so fema covered you know 90 to 81 depending how it changed over time of the sip hotels. Fema does or does not cover any of the expenses when you no longer have the sort of vulnerability under covid but are just using those noncongregate rooms as shelleder. Does fema cover that given that covid existed. And given so many of the individuals are seniors or otherwise very ill or disabled individuals. Dealership clear what im getting at and frustrate to me from the get go. Is this we have this Funding Source that we dont know when tellen. Get 30days notice when it does end. But despite the fact that fema is covering the majority of the costs we have a raging homeless kriechlsz mission has not had this many tents with people sleep nothing it since i started this job 6 years ago and no capacity in the shelter system or low capacity you cant do anything to resolve it. Why are we prematurely. I never understood this and complain all the time. Decommissioning the hotels when i say if not 50 you know if in the 90 than 50 of the people on the street fall in the vulnerable categories. Under the covid relief fema dollars. Why would we not access those funds its give those individuals a safe place to be and dignified accomplice to be and alleviate the hell it is it live on streets and for communes where they are living. I never understood it. Clearly, you need third degree capacity because you are extending 3 of the holings for the Emergency Shelter system. I understand them it is a very expensive type of shelter but you are extending 3, which im in favor of. Exit think it it is good but begs the question for me have are we decommissioning all of the hotels when we have a raging krois on our street. The number of seniors sleeping on the streets of San Francisco is appalling inhumin and should in the be allow in the a city this rich. They knowledged be in the hotels now. Why, why this policy that makes no sense and never has, i complained about it any item come before us and i will continue to because it is nonsensical it me. Thank you for this question. I think there are a couple of things i will invite my clothe to one factor the first thing we have taken every opportunity to leverage foama and state room key funds for this program. We are not leaving the dollars. Wee have it we decommissioned the holings. We are getting funded for them. True supervisor but above and beyond the federal and state dollars for the sip system we made a general Funds Investment in the temp refer hotels beyond what the state and feds will pay for the currents fiscal year that is 15 Million Dollars in the general fund. And so we have been willing to do this we wanted honor the commitment no one will exit the sip system at this time street the. We committed to keeping hotels open who i we rehouse. But prefer the general fund dollars to go in housing solutions. Understand that let me explain why this makes no sense the amount we spends on stock. The 10 street Response Teams we pay for is above 15 Million Dollars of general Fund Allocations and kept the holingless open the the fact that the Kempton Buchanan empty for months where we could have begin individuals on streets reprieve from literally every mnth they are on the street their life span shortens it is so hard to live on the street and took the budget legislative analyst to force you to the tune of 2 Million Dollars to hasten the closure of an empty hotel we are wasting millions on. It feels like Poor Administration and we want to say we did not release anybody to the street to feel good but we did not give anyone reprieve. Neighborhoods in crisis. Individuals are not getting reprieve and good sleep and shower because they have not been able to spend month in a holings room and and we are leaving money on the table. Hundreds of millions on the table with this 81 i will say 81 of foama money we could access. Lit irrelevant makes no sense other than we can say to the public this we did not release anyone to the street. Fiwere living on the street i rather have 3 mobs in a hotel and 30days notice then never get a notice in the hotel room. I have been saying the same from the beginning of this process. I upon cannot stop until someone makes sense. Supervisor. Swon that the kempton emptied 2 weeks ago not for monthses. It is going in the demobilization press now. We will keep it empty until assessment y. We will close it as quickly as we can. We go through after a building empties out of clients we have a process of cleaning and repair to return theiot last building this you decommissioned how long did it take . We hope to get it done within 30 days we dont always succeed. I dont know. Which is the left one . Do you know . To be honest we are demobilizing several at the mobile home. To you give you an idea a human year hotel can take 45 days. Those are as you decommission them 100 room its it is not decommissioned until the last person leaves you could have rooms empty for months on end . Correct . That we are piing for. Why yes. We could have some rooms that are management. Than i do empty are out fairly quickly when the team working on relocating clients empties a building. I dont know how many are on the sleep in the mission in front of home and Small Businesses. But we talked to constituents every day about it and all you do is just drive around the mission and every other block you see tents every where. Those people could have got then a room that is most low paid for by the feds. If than i mote the covid factors the vast majority do. And could have been off the street for that time. It just and the reason n we do it so we say that we released no one to the streets. But. Why supervisor. I do understand the argument you are making. If you look at the system as a whole, we have faced changing dead lineos fema funding. So up until recently we believed fema would be ending june 30. There were earlier dates before that. The room key money was meant to have ended last fiscal year. It got extend immediate this year. Because the foama money got extended. The other federal sources have had dates that changed over the course of the pandemic as well. In managing a system, with funding this will run on the at some point we are always looking at what those expected and ends dates for funding are. It takes the folks who are doing the relocation of clients; an amount of time top management a building. It takes our facilities folks working with the holing time to get the buildings clean exclude repaired. And we have this lead time in fronts of us. And what we are trying to do here sell build a system that will continue to be funded when we see as the reasonable ends of the fund thanksgiving this case is during this fiscal year. I understand this left point we need time to clean and restore the hotel to its proper location we have litigation on going about that. I understand this last part. The crisis rate in the street system as bad as it has been. We dont have any options for people or places for them to go. And so when my constituents complain they do daily. Daily conversations with our constituents about this they say, is there reprieve on the horizon. I say, not really. No. We have a few more beds coming on line. You know after of fighting and fighting i got 40 beds reserved in the new noncongregate for the mission and funding for small homeser small be cabins that we may or may not be able to build depending on the Community Process in the mission. What will not happen. And the meantime the mission is in crisis special there is you know and the department i know is trying but i just, we have to use every option at our disposal because people experiencing homeless know you know you do this w every day, are in bad shape and neighborhoods are in bad shape. And this feels to me. Im thrilled you extending the 3 hotels. To 2023. I have been asking since you started this program. Not guess the fema date lets wait until we know when funding runs out and warn everybody this go in if the fema monemends we will have to you will have to leave the hotel. If we have a unit available we will get you one if in the you have to return at this time streets. But we are giving reprieve to those suffering. Im frustratedien when to tell my constituent there is it is in the a coherent plan to deal with street homelessness and you know. I dont know what to say. I the leave it there unless you want to Say Something else. I feel like this discourse i have been repeating over and over again for years on end just never results in any differents condition in my neighborhoods i represent and the city is suffering for it. Supervisor, i everas a representative of the department on homelessness i share your sense of urgency and he frustration about the pace of change. In upon response to the statement about when do you tell constituents, there is hope on the horizon the department will opening almost a thouz academy shelter beds now and end of september we have 400 at 711 post the end of this mont and 400 at our navigation centers. It is beds will make a tremendous difference on the strept and will be excited to see that happen. Okay. Colleagues other questions. Not really a question but statement the reason why i think we have seen an explosion in a revolving door is because many mystery people leave and come back example a lot have the same problems the same addictions. One thing this we have been trying to do not necessary low with hsh but we hope to is a sober environment. I like to give you the opportunity to talk about drug use and alcohol use in the facilities and how it is dealt with. It is a problem that recycles itself and people ends up become on the streets and in and out of emergency rooms. We have tried in lower knob hill of to expand the number of sober living environments. So i understand that you have your existing contracts. In accomplice for those winding down can you tuck about how drug and alcohol use is dwaelt within the cites . And talk about the 3 sites that will be extended to the end until 123123. Sure i can take that question. I gallons the first thing is that illegal drug use is not sanctioned in the hotels or any other hsh funded cites. In the sips smoke nothing rooms is presented. And anyone found to manufacturing or producing the substance in a room would be subject to immediate exit from the site. Having said this, all of the hsh funded residential settings whether permanent Supportive Housing operate under a Housing First and no Harm Reduction philosophy. When Substance Use is ensournts evercountered it is addressed through engagement reduce behaviors harmful to the individual and the other resident in it is building. Can i interrupt you. How many people die in the the sip hotels the last 2 years. I dont have that exact number but there certainly have been over dose deaths. I think from the hsh tracking board that i have 91 . Upon that sounds like the right ballpark. Do you know how many were over doses. 91. Keep would have to get that informing from the medical Examiners Office y. My point is i knowledged everunderstand the there was de feo is Housing First dont want anyone kicked on the street. I know there are mottleless to refer people to sober environments and i understand Harm Reduction in the larger sense we got away from options and one of the option system a clean and sober environment this is when i heard over and over from the recovery communities. Thats who i have been working with the last year envelope to help establish the cites that we have. I say it is important as you go forward not necessary low the once wound down but being extended to understand how you are dealing with a Substance Abuse in the facilities. How you deal with over doses and what the over all Management Plan is to ensure that we are not recycling people back on the streets and in the allowing people to die in city run and managed facilities. That is an important thing and longterm, in i think it it is important that hsh are look to expand the opportunity to do sober environments. Thank you, supervisor. I agree with everything you said. We have done a lot of work with the department of Public Health and with Community Based organizations to bring services and hrm Reduction Service in sip hotels that is work we will continue. Suggestion this we look at diversifying portfolio for sewning living environments is good. I have a site that is ready i will follow up with your leadership there is someone red to sell longterm lease and ready to prit that with the department. In this manner so we will follow up. Thank you. Supervisor. Thank you. Thank you. Can we open up for Public Comment. Why members who wish to speak and join nothing person line up to speak and remote call 4156550001id24954145466 press pound, pound then star 3. No in person in the chamber. Can we unmute our first caller, please. Francisco decosta. The city does not have for Emergency Services a commander to do the needs assessment. The supervisors talk about budget and finance committee should recommendbling about manage this she cannot do a needs assessment. As to the budget legislative and analysts going out of his way to do a needs assessment. Unknown to you i received 4e mails over a period of 6 months. That encouraging people to participate in an audit. So you have some representatives of the Human Services agency come here and try to wood wink us in broad daylight. They are in the trained. The 2 people representing may have worked for some real estate or Property Management but they are novelty trained as a commander would who can do real in depth needs assessment. The federal government to stop giving your money. Much less as there was a notice of violation at laguna honda and now you are spending 5 Million Dollars more or less using a trained foama person to find solutions. This city gone to the hogs. And we dont have on the board of supervisors. Time expired. Thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. This is fred hock im speaking for the 563 ministry hoa near by the 2 hotels at issue. This is to add to our community e mails a few words my wife and i liveod the street it was rough but better with the market developments. It is less acceptable now. We supported the sheltering or hotel book during the covid experience. However they have in the provided support reported Public Health and safety evidenced by the open drug dealing and drug usage at hotel in our residential neighborhood. They were there in force. This morning at 7 a. M. At the corner of the hotel and the commission. Pas pals costly night by night an Emergency Shelters there are reasons the big reason citizen staffing model is different. If you envision a large shelter than i have a view of the room in individual rooms people in own rooms behind closed doors we need staff on each hotel and conduct individual room wellness checks. Can is this men of the largest shelters are city owned there is no leasing costs as with the 3 hotels. And i guess this is helpful the final question is around looking ahead for the shelter and transitional housing that will include some hotels the 3 years is there i fourth the 3 funds through the end of the fitsical year. We are hoping 2 permanent shelter cites later this mont at 711 post the other at Baldwin Hotel this is per of our permanent portfolio. And there will be congregate shelters. Yes , sir and navigation centerses we have one tiny cabin site and a second the board fund in the the budget. And how do you decide the relative mix in the portfolio. Im curious about the hotel the hotels since thats when we are considering today. Why i great question. Supervisor and part of what the department will look at in the next few months we construct the Strategic Planning press is how much of each type do we need to meet the need on the streets and what is the mix of shelter, cabin and permanent house and prevention. The 2 noncongregate shelters poiseed open this mont was do you to the pandemic. And he got a lot of positive feedback and saw positive results for guests housed there. Positive health and housing stability. And so we are incorporating that model for first time in permanent portfolio as we move forward the right mix will be generated in part by plan and an element of opportunity what site is available and building is visible and when does a site lend itself to. You said a Strategic Planning going on now around the issues . Yes. Connected to the legislation the board passed requiring the it will encorporate that as part of plans you are shelter for all ordinance. Well will be gent ritting that for the board of how much more shelter is needed to offer shelter everyone on the street. A part of our large are Strategic Plan due out the end of the year. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you supervisor mar. Go ahead. Im sorry. Y one last question i wanted request regarding the remaining cites we have gotten a few concerning e mails and i had been engaged with some Community Members at their cites regarding security and safety and criminal octivity happening outside the cites. Want to make sure that is on what the planned strategy is. I money i know it is on your radar and you were aware butment to know the strategy because if we are going to continue to operate these we will get people autopsy the streets we cant let residents prayed upon by drug dealers outside the absurd they have food catered to them as they wait and offer individuals the hotel the toed to entice them to come in for drug use. Mented that out there and see what activities we will do to ensure the safety of the area and the residents. We are aware that drug dealers targeting the guests of the as i remember hotels and taken steps to try to address that. The efforts include paying for 24 7 security. Linking hotel guests to Behavioral Health services. Taking measures installing a fence around the parking lot next to the sip helling this is were owen over taken boy drug dealers and a new contract out of Supportive Housing to provide street ambassador who is principle the areas and sites to create improved sense of neighborhood safety. Unfortunately as you know open air drug dole system a challenge for the city now and one that requires a response from multiple city agencies including Law Enforcement and public works. Hsh partners regular low with the department of emergency management, sfpd. Dpw and other its address unsafe conditions on streets. Thank you. I would say also help to have the Police Department working in partnership in the remaining locations. Because we had reached out to the deputy chief and zeroed in the yours to ensure the safety of the residents as well as the sip hotel clients. I like to make a motion to amend at proposed by the upon budget analyst. Reduce not to exceed amount by a Million Dollars and to reflect ends date of september 30 of 22. Take a vote on that motion.
