Good morning commissioners so i guess the big news this week the budget the mayor released his budget and submitted to the board of supervisors and a lot of great things for the department of aging Adult Services so i want to quickly go over those items and unfortunately, im reading that off any phone small prinlt you know that you approved a budget we submitting to the Mayors Office in february and has items that basically no cuts in the addition with positions for adult prospective services and other stray positions but not a lot of extra things in the budget lying enhancements for Community Services we were hoping that there will be a way to get those into our budget as well and the mayor certainly wanted to get some of those in one of the things the first thing i think that the Community Members have been asking for on our 5 year plan to include this this did portfolio that is the senior Disabilities Program he serve that has gotten transaction on the east coast i think and it is kind of a work Subsidy Program for older adults in our says adult disabilities 2 0050000 a great start for us to wade into that world and try a pilot there so thats exciting and Case Management enhancements people in the community youve heard the Case Management in dos has been kind of not that funding has not kept up with the need for increases in salaries and the mayor recognized this is a program that has really not kept up even at the level of the some of the programs kept us u up to the Case Management programs have continued to lose staff and a decrease in quality the challenge of hiring people that you are bilingual has been greater than in the past so when we look at the workers we have in internally in department of aging Adult Services or in the city and the salaries in the community obviously dont keep up near where they should so people leave etc. So the mayor has put one hundred and 75 thousand so we can start the process of raising the salaries and hopefully with worker retention in the Case Management program the conservatory the department of health and the department of aging Adult Services has started thinking how to streamline the conservatorship is he people are significantly in emergency and needs conservativelyship and people are living in the community and need the corn certificateship services were trying to make that happy with dpw and others so people slipping through the crack on the street and the recidivism pattern before and after within between the street and facilities well help them better there is positions in there and also upgrades for the current staff to be at the same level of the adult prospective services were looking a clarification change there we also looking at a supported home pilot were calling 2 that is something that supervisor eric mar and a number of advocates in the community and our communitybased providers are trying out behaving because we know there is a need for inhome care for people that dont qualify for the so theres obviously people with a lot of money can a pay for their own home care but the middleincome or others in San Francisco that cant afford it the budget and the legislative 234569 estimated first year thousand people to stay at home safely were try a polite from the Mayors Office put one Million Dollar in annually for the next two years to try this out and were going to have some issues around prioritization who gets to serve but really to see if we can change some of the outcomes for people if they get that home care theyll go to a hospital fewer times and end up in Nursing Services and thats exciting to get to try that out for the different populations the dignity fund the Mayors Office has put a plug in for the dignity fund at a place for 6 million in year two which is 20162017 and year one prelims we need to staff up a little bit in the dignity fund passes were lucky positions and consultant to get off the ground the Mayors Office put in 6 million for 20172018 and the dignity Fund Legislation was introduced by supervisor cowen last week at 2 percent the property that will be more library 33 million in the firefighter to malia cohens office the Dignity Fund Coalition and i will be meeting to figure out a way to get closer so the Mayors Office and the coalition and the board are more in agreement about startup amounts and nutrition so one of the things you may remember that last year the board of supervisors had quite a bit of money into Nutrition One time only money and generally speaking when the board does things one time the mayor didnt pickup and maybe not the way it was intended and in this case the mayor really wanted to put money into nutrition so 1. 2 million thats about half; right . So the mayor put in 1. 2 million of the 2. 4. 01 time back into his budget and so that maintenance a lot of the services we started this year and enhanced this year and in addition to that, the mayor has put in an ad back for the one time only housing Subsidy Amount we got last year that was 700,050,000 so that again was a one time add back with the board and the mayor elected to backfill that completely it is now in the baseline budget and i think just to give you detail about the nutrition so what that 1. 2 million that the mayor has elected to backfill 9 Lunch Program with the Chance Program the routine i Restaurant Voucher Program and home delivered groceries and home delivered meals yeah. Those 3 things so it will help because we wont have to cut back on the services but not getting us quite there i guess the last thing i wanted to mention the scattered site Housing Contract that was with with the department of health will be moving to the department of aging Adult Services and the contract is now with the nonprofit provider called brilliant corners it is great well have if that and actually sit in the Community Fund and it is something that the Community Living fund is able to assess for a long time it is great so it seems like it is in effect i think that about it in terms of the enhancements from the mayor as you may know now the board has the budget and the board will be looking at other things we want to commend fund and maybe things they dont want to fund and asking us for a lot of details for the positions we got into the budget and president some justification on those but looking at our vacant and all those things obviously they have interests in theyre own district and interests in terms of the program oh, one other thing i didnt i neglected to mention the mayor put in a second Deputy Director for our Department Im personally excited but it is become really grown a lot a lot of work for one permanent to analyze so thats in our budget as well i think the only thing i want to say two things one i was at the californias association of agencies our aging one of the things theyre talking about this year is trying to enhance kind of the face of angling in california and there were going to be doing a Media Campaign california wide to put a positive face on angling and everywhere i go im conscious and im sure you are as well we see so many negative images of aging how bad it is to get odd old and great reasons we should be paying attention to aging this year a number of us that are aging in this country and going to need services and going to have to support each im excited were b be working and actually ill be chairing the Education Committee it will be interesting to see what other peoples takes and promoting the best practices if every community in california and get that out into the public and have a much Stronger Public presence i guess so thats exciting and then the last thing i wanted to mention on june 8th and i think all of you gotten an invitation on june 8th well be celebrating world elderly abuse day in San Francisco and our celebration will be at the herbst theater it starts at 4 and goes to 7 and Paul Henderson and from the Mayors Office will be the master of the ceremonies and hes running for Supreme Court judge and very entertaining 0 it should be fun and then dave jones commissioner will be coming to speak in the beginning and talking about elderly abuse awareness i believe that still will be lit up in purple in awareness of elder abuse there is a lot going on and the senior at the adult and protective serves will be there and people will come back by thank you that concludes my report. Thank you. Any questions. Yes. Wait. Go ahead. Commissioner sims. Thank you the additional budget that was provided by the Mayors Office this is one time only or ongoing is that will be ongoing funding. Those are baseline items. Okay. Concerning the dignity fund do we have 6 supervisors. Signed in . You know im actually not sure about that part this is a question for the Dignity Fund Coalition i believe. So from the dignity fund passed the 32 million will be affected; right . In cases that it didnt pass the mayor will put in the one Million Dollars. Well, no i think what will happen the Mayors Office and the coalition and the board are all working together to find a way to come to agreement about the legislation ultimately looks like we dont know it would be that it goes in that way and a different way. The 2 percent is in the subsidy. Correct. Okay commissioners did you have questions. Anyone else . Yeah. Sherren you were talking about it in home support for the middleincome and one Million Dollars for two years. It is one Million Dollars for each of two years. For each of two years. Right. A pilot project. Right. Whats the plan for dos to get this program off the ground thats a great question we didnt found out until this week that will be in the Mayors Office budget we have to look at setting it up to study it so we need to know the outcomes we will have what well do a Subsidy Program so is it not going to be you know we did try a piloted for people to qualify for Inhome Care Services but had to pay something we didnt need to study is that will be a subsidy important people who either dont qualify or want to pay for one well bring back the stakeholder that kind of helped to put this together and work with the Community Living fund probably a mechanism we have in place and decide how to prioritize people that is hard well not have enough money for 14 thousand people and dont know this is quite the right number we can probably serve to 50 people in a year and so we have to think carefully how what populations we want to look at it and learn and it will be something that will start as soon as we know that is getting to the budget and how much money well start those discussions soon. Its right around the corner. Im aware we need to get going on that. Thank you. Any other questions commissioners you had a question from come forward. Good morning commissioner president james and commissioners congratulations director ma fasten and welcome i appreciate this egypt for the recreation of the one time board of supervisors funding for your information commissioners when it came to that one time funding cuts we were notified in the Senior Center well be kit 77,000 that notification of cuts and again, were grateful for this board of supervisors submitting that one time monies to support us but when you get notified 7,000 cuts that effects your Nutrition Program basically a cut for me this morning i wanted clarification are in terms of the mayors budget im grateful that the Mayors Office of budget will restore out of the 2. 4 million a one time money cuts to a 1. 2 that means it, it is a partial funding and commissioners respective this is still a cut for us in the Senior Network as the executive director who is responsibly for that in terms of advocacy for the seniors were talking about less meals so for us were needing your support and the departments in terms of the recess Central Station we need full restored funding it talks to the need and programs for seniors in San Francisco is a lot of dialogue going on and a lot of advocacy for Different Things in terms of for the seniors in San Francisco the dignity fund is one of the alternative transportation that is positive it is still far apart and needs to be negotiated i wanted everyone to please Pay Attention to that commissioner president james i know i have one minute and 31 seconds left i wanted to thank you for that emphasis and it is hard San Francisco Everybody Knows it is going far we know about that but we need to participation to the seniors that built San Francisco and we need San Francisco need to respective our seniors in aging give them the dignity they deserve thank you very much.

I appreciate that becoming were appreciative were appreciative my job to advocate for the seniors. Thank you. So i want to thank executive director sherren for the update other than the dignity fund but take a minute to fill in details as you may know strong legislation was entered a week ago we know from the mayors budget hes on board for the support of dignity fund were very, very far apart be in terms of the proposal we have the legislation we have and what the mayor is proposing at this point for us well be meeting with supervisors many of them have a asked for a ram up a reasonable way to get the money and plan and spend it we are talking about proposals with them but the Mayors Office is 6 million is the biggest weve ever see in the forgive first year that is less than weve been getting through the Community Advocacy weve got a lot more work to do we have meeting with the Mayors Office and plan for the future we have to plan for people with aging hiv and the people with disabilities and 25 percent of the population thirty percent in 2030 we need to plan for veterans many fall out in terms of the services they get and agency the home care pilot a lot of seminars and people with disabilities that need help at home and barely holding on paying their bills when it comes time to stay in their home they need assistance but the dignity fund needs to continue after that.

Issued and placard approvals and removing the exemption and establish reasonable time limits for the parking i wanted to give you an updated on two other bills obviously did placard and many of the bills weve been monitoring such is ab 1584 on increases in the supplemental theyve been in committee and in suspense thats the way the Appropriations Committee looks at they bundle them together and look like how to divvy up the funds. And theres one that is the senator louis sb 447 that is the aging and long term Court Reporting council referred to the committee on aging and Long Term Care and the update on the dignity fund and at the federal level the credit for care act 2016 is in the was and Means Committee that allows up to 3 thousand per year deduction for Long Term Care and then the bills on autism Legislation Senate bill there is no action on are there any questions. I know i talked fast. Yes. Im very much interested in the placard because it does allow for definition yeah. Very much and getting around in San Francisco. Their not do away with the placards but. The two two tier. The two tier time limits of how this you can park for free or if they look at the meters and the sergeant of the meters so far payment some are not assessable for easy of payment so thats what their looking at and establishing circumstances under which some whether that is on the placard itself with the presentation where some disabled and elderly would have access to free parking but not a broad free parking across the board two reports and i can send them to bridget to include in your minutes. Yes. And because getting independence. It calls on the dpvm to track the placards and there is the the devil is in the details but all ill send this to bridget. For the details okay. Thank you. One comment it is shown a program they limit the plan for 4 hours for medical. Thats what their looking like. A lot of things we know about but i think for our it is quite thats the timeframe theyre talking about part of two tier solution. Thank you. Youre welcome. Next is the Long Term Care coordinating council. Good morning, commissioners im ship a member of the longterm care council we met on may 12th the first presentation a needs sergeant that recommends 5 years for expanding the areas of service and strengthening existing programs and improving awareness and serving adult disabilities and in coalition with other departments and a presentation for the middleincome study which the directors report contained as well i have nothing to add a discussion on meetings with supervisors and i believe that most of those meetings have occurred in the month of may well get a report back at the next meeting thursday june 9th and thats about it from my report any questions. You mentioned you study and recommend 5 areas for Senior Services okay name those 5 areas. I named them but ill go over them more slowly the first expanding new areas of services this is for seniors and adult disabilities the second is strengthening the existing programs, the third is improving awareness and messaging of Task Services the figure out serve adult disabilities more effectively and the first time is collaboration with other departments. Would you put a dollar amount for those. No we have not this is mark farrell an assessment no budget analysis. Youll followup with those improvements. Thats on the directors plate. Any other questions. Well wed like to wait for the directors answer. Thank you so sir, is really reporting on the long term kr0r7bd council so he basically heard the same presentation on the Needs Assessment in the area plan the specifically needs ascertainment weve heard from you commissioner ow so some of the same recommendations when rose and i did the presentation is what hes referring to well devolve into those areas just pointing out things that are important for the department as we move forward and you know one of the things we hope to do is that in the future we will be able to attach dollars signs to various recommendations when we do the Needs Assessments and hopefully, well look at gaps were not there yet but those are the recommendations he had when i was thinking about when i wanted to Pay Attention to going forward. Imagine. Staff report. Well, i guess you can judge. Were all here. But what do you expect we have a big rally a senior rally and in sacramento thousands of seniors and a model and chant was seniors count and they were here theyll have you all chanting that when you get a huge group of gray haired voter they are their associates saying seniors count they Pay Attention in sacramento so thats one good thing one thing that was nutrition georgia again was part of it throughout the last year when we had different representatives from state programs and departments talk to us come out nutrition was right up there on the top of their concerns and it came out good the concerns about nutrition and programming for nutrition and amongst other things well keep the seniors healthy and independent what was covering all of this was that all over the state including us seen the percentage of seniors in the population has been increasing every year and will continue to increase in the future and that must be considered in the meantime when you look at the Budget Programs for seniors have been frozen and cut back and a few have been cut out so that financial backing is going down while the number of seniors is increasing so that is something we need to consider as we look at things, of course, if we keep on increasing we might take over that was an Interesting Program and one thing that change you know working with the staff the state staff for the commission has been good ive enjoyed it their bright and kevin about us they organ well and followup on what they say but what i saw at that meeting the respective they have from the members of the government from people from different businesses and programs that were there you can, see theyll respective them and worked with them were asking their advice and wanted to go together with them so what it means is if were trying to develop a program to get something through we have a fantastic resource in the staff from the state commission their generous and they care they really care about what we do and knowledgeable so seeing them interacting at the rally and let me see what a fantastic right away that concluded my report. Thank you case. Good morning, commissioners valerie im a board member of case and also the director of the Senior Center this time of year is busy for case our budget and Advisory Committee work hard to make sure the mayor and board of supervisors are aware of our podium and at the same time, were supporting the budgetus coalition podium as well as different Security Task force to today is news from director mcfadden what guarantee good news not over until the final budget is approved and continuing to meet with the board of supervisors which meetings have been set up during the senior rally we had in conjunction with the senior disabilities folks we handcarried over 2 thousand pot cards to respective supervisors and mayor theyre very aware of what were asking for we also want to invite you all were excited one of our member agencies institute on angling has offered a continuing ed course at the next Membership Meeting i have handouts flyers i didnt get them out but one of the things that are happening at the Senior Centers the phenomena of bowling and it is something that weve seen over the years but it has become more acute and so we started looking for somebody to help us begin the conversation how to handle to preserve the safe and friendly environmentalist for everyone but handle those kind of individuals challenging to the Senior Centers we dont say a Mental Health component we may need to look at that in the future we 79 the Senior Center services is to be available for all people at times the acuteness is beyond our staffing level abilities so this presentation and course that patrick from the harbor called how to identify and respond to challenging and bullying behaviors were offering continuing ed for many progressives if you want ill leave the flyers and free to our members and if our members are bringing other folks well to get a sense how many more foams o people might be there well be prepared were excited it is the beginning of the conversation im getting more calls from my colleagues from the same issues and some of the people were having problems with radio bouncing around from one Senior Center to another and we will to do the right thing but know what your limits are and other maybe partners can do to help us what that thats the beginning and i think that our next Membership Meeting is june 13th at the groceries center and were going to get started right on time so the people that are asking for continuing ed can meet their requirements but it operationally is an interesting session. Any questions. Yes. Emily. Yes. Im just wondering where you folks nonprofit organizations have been tapping into the Management Services by the public Health Department and started to come you know once a week or month whatever and educate our staff also. Were looking at that commissioner i think that traditionally the older adult individual is not open too much to going to clinics but we have a referral to the Mental Health services amend as you may know older adults have the right to fail and we make appropriate referrals refuse the services and go to the next center were looking at training so we can handle situations more carefully and more mind fully. Im just saying that you know has been come to your center center. Weve tried if that and probably have to do a more official invite and get the higherups to support that but the department of health didnt send their professionals out to our centers well look at that. It will be for the seniors it will be a nonthreatening environment and maybe someone from the department of health. Well look at that thank you. Next this is we have some Public Comment but item t is there any general Public Comment at this time . Hearing none, old business none new business okay. All is require a vote item a supervise transfer of ownership the staff is melissa can i have a motion to discuss. So moved and seconded. Good morning commissioner president james and director mcfadden im the acting Deputy Director at the department of aging Adult Services so this is referring to the rosa parks Senior Center and the Human Services agency will be taking over ownership of the rosa parks Senior Center in the next few months the final date is yet to be determined the property was offered to the city as a cost off 1 currently the office on the aging offers programs at the rosa parks senior selfcenter this acquisition allows the facilities are operating appropriately at the site no rent as we will the site will be owned well provide maintenance and Janitorial Services this has an inadequate but will be taken care of a sewer line it is needing work so the developer will be fixing that at no cost to us and so this problem has resulted in the assembly bathrooms for the clients for the clients using staff bathrooms this proposes sanctuary conditions and so thats a big issue in the center that will be corrected that the acquisition when the site is completed an additional one and 50 seniors in the complex of the rosa parks senior are supervise will serve three hundred clients at the Rosa Parks Center and we request your support in the acquisition of this property. Are there any questions. Whats the location. On the commissioner ow. Is it close to market street. It is golden gate and between golden gate and turk. So the Senior Housing; right . Yes. Currently and doubling theyre building angle additional tower. How large is the tower going to be. An additional one hundred and 50 seniors were just acquiring the property that did Senior Center is on. What about a new tower is it going to be the dos going to take over the tower. No, just the Senior Center and that building. Thank you. Okay. Okay commissioners commissioner sims. Is there a precedent for this has the city done this in the past. I dont know. The city has done this with certain buildings i think that the impetus the Mayors Office of housing was really looking to make sure that the Senior Center is in good hands and the immigrant it oversees is the department it understand the adult disabilities as you may know the rental assistance demonstration project where new developers or new Development Management organizations are taking over the management of Senior Housing and not just Senior Housing but the senior sites that the authority has run previously this is kind of an unusual situation in this case the tenderloin Development Corporation dont care over the housing and will manage the housing and it is attached as commissioner ow mentioned there is one tower there already and another tower of Senior Housing but the Senior Center is in the middle they dont have the expertise to run senior and dos has a nonprofit provider right now the orientation is bayview Hunters Point Senior Services they run the western edition Senior Center as well. Bayview so is it make sense to oversee those services but we dont have the expertise to manage the building itself, however, Human Services agency does because Human Services agency he manage a lot of those and has a history it make sense to that. Is there a budget attached to this. So were already bayview is operating the Senior Center and the main things will be an increase in Janitorial Services and purchase a sink and those sinks at all fall within the contingency so no additional request requests to modify the budget in any way. Go ahead commissioner. That bother me those are front loaded expenses that you anticipate by the long term cost of maintaining the building there must be an anticipated cost for the maintenance of this facility roofs and walls and paint and floor you know repair and replacement over time a burden cost somebody has to pay that. John correct me if i am wrong that falls into the facilities for the Human Services agency. ; correct . Yeah. So social service is that social services run out of by bayview Hunters Point or will we provide associate or social services there separate. They currently operate at the bayview and encouraging operating the Senior Center. Are we serving meals how many people are we serving. Yes. We are serving measles and do you know how many on an average daily and 50 people. The report indicates up to three hundred in captivity. Right . Are anticipated. And what the abilities to increase that capacity are we increahe capacity or maintaining the capacity. One of the things that they havent tried to do they didnt know theyve not tried to increase the capacity new we know that is the plan moving forward the Senior Center will be continuing to operate now they can work on increasing the capacity. So i wanted to separate this when you increase the capacity will that funding go to bayview Hunters Point to increase the capacity or will be a separate budget for the department to handle. So when we do any of the Senior Centers or active seminars we contract with the you know there are no a procurement process and if a mr. Starr organization we negotiate that them how many people theyll serve and what the dollars look like i believe right now were in the middle of contract with them so if they were to minded toe increase well go through the rfp process and nail propose that and someone will propose that and see who wins the contract and negotiate about the number of people theyre serving right now they have in the budget whatever they have we cant give them more money if they serve more people but certainly proposed that or other organization when we go out to rfp again i dont know when the contract ended were in midcontract. Were in the middle of a contract only two years left on that contract. There were concerns about the food ive heard concerns about that. Were always im personally happy to hear the concerns and ill be happy to look at it. One of the members of the Advisory Council said something. Ill be happy to look at that. Any other questions. Okay. Could i have a motion. Public comment. Any Public Comment on this . Any Public Comment . Hearing none, call for the i. Opposed . The is have it. That motion carries. Thank you.

Im just wondering for the congregate measles the income on donations is 11 want 83 percent all right. And the home deliver meal is 30 percent im wondering now not getting attractions okay. And the home dliefrp meal is more expensive panning than the congregate meals all right. So is it the staff not encouraging people to pay it is just an observation i was wondering why. So from what i understand please corresponding i believe that is the volunteery contribution across the board for the programs i dont believe that the department has any we can suggest a documents but not in a position im not talking about the Department Im talking about the agencies not encouraging i dont know im just wondering becae their. Theyre not supported to encourage but weve had situation more than encouragement so we encourage them, no to the be overly encouraging that pressures people it is out there and we certainly hope that people donate to the extent but a suggested documents. The other question i have is well unfortunately linda is not here i just observed from the congregate meal no money funds for Nutrition Counseling and education but for the home delivered meals two line items. inaudible . Anybody know the answer. I dont. Maybe linda can answer that next month. Commissioners. Denise chow on the aging what is the question when a we dont allocate. It is include in the meals program. Home delivered meals with the Nutrition Agency by two agencies we we require the education for the meals. Well, im sure that is in the nutrition congregate meal budget for this is required im just wondering why not spelled out here this is the question thats all. We have ample funding as well. Great. Sorry about that this area plan budget is part of our budget so we get in the overlook budget. Okay. Commissioner sims. Some of this was a black box for me on the grid for the area planned budget. Uhhuh. It looks like there are a number of sort of ups and downs in those areas one that is a small dollar amount but the sniff quality and accountability under the o buds man it is sensitive to the sniffs in San Francisco i was wondering about rationals. So for the obama buds man the federal and state and each one as funding allocations it guide the way those funds are distributed so specifically for the sniff the very last one on the obama bud ombudsmen. The decrease in money is not a decrease in services this is as martha noted various source of income for the obama buds one oman it is funding that is corrected from the licensing and it maybe livelihood this is down because either less money was paid in or less beds in San Francisco right now so it factors down the amount of money we need. Any other questions. Okay any Public Comment . Harpooning ill call for the vote i. Opposed . The is have it. That motion carries. Item c request and interrogation to are you new the grants with ed center for children and families for the vision of Family Caregiver for 2016 and jungle 2018 in the amount of one and 8,000 plus not to exceed one and 9 thousand plus can i have a motion it discuss.

Commissioners. Commissioner loo. Telling me what the the special event. A variety throughout the year one of the special events they would cack the grandchildren to a movie and then a special event for the senior grandparents so they have a support group which ive sown in action before it is great the folks know each other and support each other especially one program to get the kids ought to do activities for the kids so it gives respite to the grandparents to do a variety of activities brings fruits and vegas vegetables. Like an operation monday through friday. We have 52 weeks okay. It is 5 days so 360 days of operation not 244. 255. I see what youre saying oh. So im sorry ask your request again. 52 weeks in a requester 52 times 4 is 200 and 60 days and listed on mine.

On page 46 it calls out in a couple of plaza commitment to Digital Communication with a telephone coverage online and our meetings are in person can you elaborate a little bit on the underlying digital support this supports. It relatively new i didnt have a lot of detailed information i can get that but my understanding from the Program Director when i was out there some folks cant come in so they get the services through a digital. Like a web x. I think that skype is another one. I was curious the age demographics it encourage to see the grandparents taking advantage of those kinds of platforms and keep in mind that the grand is assessing those a transfer of learning from grandkids to grandparents. Yeah. Do you know the youngest and oldest grandparent age. Whew i honestly do not know the theres a some young people like in their 30s and 40s they maybe older grandparents and wondering if right. How you theres a difference. Yeah. Yeah. In terms of needs. Right so what ive seen the 3 times ive gone on site and done the monitoring reviews i see active seniors who are engaged in the program i mean when i walk in on the group people turn around and smile additional happy regardless of their age their engaged in the services theyre provided so so you dont see gravrpts that may have been a disability and i cant comment. Would that impose a different kind of services or require more respite. Right. Of younger entrant im looking for that. My guess it would thats why the services are varied and so many opportunities for kinds of services in the program you know theres the groups, theres the classes and the Case Management component so all those ways in which the services are provided to the seniors depending upon the age or disability.

Also, our Neighborhood Services as well. Derek, thank you for being here this morning. We are here to go to work. I know its a Political Year and everybodys talking about some big election that were going to have but, i think the real story is about the mostly the men today get where are the women . We have to deal with that get there we go. Where are your hardhats . Okay. Well, i was there is a men and women. Today is mostly men that are out here. At our neighborhood corridor and this is of coarse, one in many many neighborhoods across the city where we get a chance because our city is economically strong and thanks to our Capital Program that our city administrator is involved in. Thanks to their mind or from a public works that they want to be out here paving all of our streets. You know, one of the great people that in a city that is increasingly become very expensive for people is our own streets. If our streets can be paid everybody can use them whether you are a senior, whether you are a young person, whether a bicycle rider. When you take a ride share with you guide drive your own vehicle back and forth, everyone uses our streets. Thats a great equalizer and when we fix it up than every single neighborhood of the city benefits from this. This is sometimes what we were for to as shared prosperity of the city. In years past, when we did not have the resources in our Capital Program suffered, then our parks and our streets suffered first. I want to say that we just concluded next two years our Capital Program over four lap 411 million from our Capital Planning and he and our whole bunch of smart numbers people get in there and they crunch numbers and they say, hey, look, if we spend this amount than that apartment late dpw can say, you can get to that magic seven. Is every window with the magic 70 is . This a pci index that engineers know about. I plot the others and the engineer department and they will tell you thats how street levels are graded in cities like San Francisco. Its what they call a pci index. For over 30 years, we got close to this number 70 and now its within eyesight. I think if we are disciplined in making sure that our capital money sources are spent in paving all of our streets were to get to this magic number 70, which is something weve not a published in over 30 years of investment. That every year its been the streets come do we want to do that or do we want to do trees. People voted for the trees did that was parks and people voted for parks. That was Health Institutions and people voted for the Health Institutions. So we never got a story out there about how streets are so important to us and how maintaining them is a Great Service to every single neighborhood in the syndicate were finally able to do that and this is important and its part of our 10 year capital plan, but were funding the next two years at 411 million. Thats a significant amount. I know that those that are involved in our Capital Planning have something to smile about because its not just streets good streets is one of the key examples. Thats why we are here today. We are going to do more of the streets for the benefit of all of our neighborhoods, all across the city. Over the next two years. But in addition to streets, infrastructure is about all the other aspects assets that we have. For example, they dpw horizon particularly for engineers is outrageous. Third street grades. Christmas creek bridge. They have to be maintained and put in a good state repair. Guess what . The largest population growth is happening in the southern part of our city and were needing to grant across those bridges a lot. Those are bridges that are constantly used for mission bay, for all of the development in the dogpatch and in the Hunters Point area. There also going to be of course, a ballpark and eventually [inaudible]. So, thats going to happen in the next couple of years. Those bridges will get repaired. In addition to that, there is something that we have not talked about in public a lot. Something a little more hidden in ourunderneath our streets, but something ive been dedicated to discussing with the port about and thats the infrastructure called rc wall. That seawall is goes all the way from the Fishermans Wharf area all the way down to the ballpark and onto your 50. That seawall is absolutely critical for everything that is from the water to the peers to the embarcadero roadway. If we dont keep that seawall up in good shape, the water eventually, will you road all the infrastructure underneath, which includes our wastewater, unclean water, all of the utilities, will all be subject to incredible incredible cost is not danger, in of course, the majority of our ports assets we lie on the seawall. Its about time we started talking about it because the seawall is over 100 years old and we have not made any very significant investments in the seawall. Thats another part of our infrastructure. Theres another part of our infrastructure that we dont talk about until theres flooding in the city. That is places like telegraph hill. You know, that very steep hill where i kind of look up and i get nervous and all those condominiums up on top and how steep that hillside and every year, every two years or three years, when the heavy rains come, you see a little bit of a you rose and i called the City Engineer or all call these private companies that dpw has oncology whats going on. They say, well, the earth is moving. Its sliding. We got to reinforce those cliff areas around the telegraph hill. Otherwise, thousands of homes will be in jeopardy. This is all part of infrastructure, all part of Capital Planning. When we do Capital Planning at 10 year stretches, we want to take care of infrastructure like these and we do it in a very land way. We do it in the way it does not shop the general fund every two years, and when we do this planning everything, all of our assets get touched. They get treated. In one year itll be these kinds of things like our streets and our hillsides and are bridges,. Another year it will be our parks. Another year it will be our cultural institutions that need to get a touch. You talk about parks. Again, thats an asset that everybody enjoys. Particularly, if youre a senior or families with children, more and more of our parks are being used with to keep them clean. Keep these assets not only clean but expanded, weupdated refreshed, and this is how i think our city is so successful with our residents. So, i want to say today, thank you dw for being out here. Particularly, the mostly men and some women that are going to be picking this street the right way and its going to last 50 years, right . Not to come up here for another 50 years. So when we do this, we do it right. Yes. Weve got to tell everybody when we do the streets, that the tell all the utilities were coming in because i dont than breaking into the street saying you do not tell us about it we notify everywhere. We have the residence and of course the residence of the happiest. They get to come out and drive on some smooth streets. They dont have to tell me at least this block, will be donated stories about how their transmissions not ruined and had to buy new tires. But we need this kind of treatment to get to this pci index we been longing for, where the grading of our streets by the federal highway administration, who funds part of this, by the state, will say that lets keep this kind of highlevel streets smoothness in our capacity, and every neighborhood will benefit from it and all the neighborhoods will be better as a result. It begins with good planning. Weve got all the people that will execute all this. And the more you were out here in the neighborhoods of getting things done or fixing our streets, or fixing on herschel corridor, again, with public works leadership, were putting additional pit stops were people need them, they dont need them in this neighborhood, but in other neighborhoods, were going to keep a Good Relationship with our neighbors and i hope that the neighbors will want us to finish this quickly and go on to the next streets. But, thank you to the men and women of pablos for your dedication,. Keep working hard to get this stuff done and then go on to the next week. Would you do all employee. By the way, the next two years of infrastructure work that i just talked about over 3400 jobs keeps everybody employed. That, again, we have such a low Unemployment Rate but i never want to ever forget that when i started people were screaming at me for more jobs. Now we get to employ more people. Does that feel better . With a lot of jobs . Yes. Our dignity to move forward with these really good jobs. I get, what effect our city administrator, public works director, art and Neighborhood Services and Capital Planning group for everything they do and thats keep on working and thats what our neighborhoods. Thank you. [applause] thank you mr. Made. Naomi kelly city administrator and have the honor to chair the 10 year capital plan. Its a 1. 6 6,000,000,000. 10 year plan that is transparent with a public process process. The plan that oversees our infrastructure over the next 10 years and helps us prioritize where to spend our money over the next 10 years and its creating more jobs. As the mayor mention. Our Unemployment Rate is down to about 3. 1 . Thank you, mr. Mayor are all the jobs youre creating in the city. One of the reasons that are Capital Planning process is so successful, started by the former former city administrator current mayor, ed lee 11 years ago and because of our longrange comprehensive planning where we are looking at projects, weve estimated how much the projects are going to be and when were going to complete it, then we make good on that promise. The voters and the residence of San Francisco have appreciated. We delivered on a sf General Hospital. We delivered on time and on budget a Public Safety building. We are keeping our promises and we are delivering our promises to the voters and the residence of the city. Simply put, because of this good planning, arbitron ratings are high. They trust what we are doing in this 10 year longrange processor stopping flybynight ideas together. We are actually doing a lot of planning. So, i want to thank the department of public works in all the work they do. The clues behind us because as a resident in San Francisco in i enjoyed writing over smooth streets and i look forward to driving down the street very soon. Thank you. [applause] thank you all for coming out. I am probably the most excited one of all. Everybody out here today get me along with my cruise because of the commitment that the mayor and city administrator have made towards improving our city. You heard from the mayor stabilizing telegraph hill. Fixing our bridges. Fixing our playgrounds. Our firehouses. All the things people want to the Capital Planning process, those are prioritized and does receive funding in the next two years. To seeyou will see the big difference. I think since the last two years under the mayors leadership, we have a better working relationship with city partners. The Public Utilities commission, the mta. Together, were working really hard to deliver the projects that make a difference for the people of San Francisco. We have some projects in the works and now and those are the result of some of the Capital Planning also. My cell street is being done. Potrero right there thereby the new hospital thats being done right up to ocean avenue is being done and coming soon, we have a lot more. We have second street. Second street is going to be an entire new design with nice bike pathways among nice sidewalks where people can walk, and really achieving the type of streetscape that offers twice the sky city like San Francisco should have. Today, were paving the street that was last week caved in 1989. The payment was given score was 1500 at the end of today this pavement score will be 100. 100. Thats what were doing. Were going all around the city and paving streets. This year, our goal was to pave 600 bucks and were already at 639. Weve exceeded the number of blocks that were plan. So im very very [applause] from public works, were very very appreciative for giving us all this work. I think that that city people San Francisco are appreciative, and lets go and do some painting and finish this block mayor. Thank you. Thank you very much and we have the hardhats .
