Shelter, so if they encounter an individual that has a language other than spanish and chinese then they can reach out to the department and ask for Interpretation Services to work with the clients. They do that often. On the single adult side in some cases the clients are only there one night or up to 90 days with a 30 day extension so they could be actually there for 120 days. If a client is seeking services because they cannot speak to the staff in their language the staff at the shelter can call our department and our department will deploy language Interpretation Services for them, but 10,000 we probably spend double that on the family side because 10,000 isnt going to even make a dent into Language Services for the shelters. Seems like there is a disconnect between like the situation you are describing and what the committee is saying because it seems like the committee is saying that if we allocate 10,000 that somehow the gap that is not there will be filled. And i believe our p
Runs out of tokens . Well, i think in this report it just referred to United Council not having tokens on site. The other shelters do have tokens on site and theyre given out monthly at the shelter directors meeting so it was just one reference in this report six months ago that United Council didnt have tokens. And giving the tokens at the beginning or once a month but by the end of that month do they still have adequate tokens . Yes, they have them available or if they need more they can always get more. Can i ask the committee to do a survey of these specifically about tokens . I would feel better about it if they have adequate tokens. And would you be able to come back to us or give a report in three months . [inaudible] okay. Thank you very much. Those were my questions. Okay. Supervisor campos. Yes. Thank you. Happy new year to you. Just going to a couple of points we discussed earlier with the chair chair camara. On the language funds, the 10,000 accessed i dont know if you coul
So i would encourage you to maybe discuss the issue further with the committee and maybe if theres a request for Additional Resources i know that i certainly would like to know that and see if theres a way to find that. My manager staff meet monthly with the Shelter Monitoring Committee, exact staff, so i am quite sure that will be first and foremost on their agenda to explore it a little more. Great. Thank you very much. I appreciate it and one thing they would say is that i think the staffing issue is really important because these reports are six months were talking about a prior six month period and i know that for a lot of us with the weather the way it is the conditions in the shelters is something that we all worry about so i think having the additional person will be helpful. Thank you. Can i make a few comments on what i said . Yes please. I want to say for the last two years we worked diligently with the Shelter Monitoring Committee meeting regularly to work out any issues th
The creative director on the stickers. Thank you, to all coming out. And im very happy to support this. Thank you, supervisor farrell. Again, i just wanted to thank everybody, as everyone has already said. While our office was really happy to carry this through to implementation and bring it to the full board this legislation really came through the input of residents and advocates. You had worked on this issue for years before i had even come into the office and im happy to bring this forward to the full board. I think they are some really good fixes within our Public Health code that will provide us more information and the data that we need to effectively utilize the resources that we do have to combat bed bug infestation in the city. Not just by complaints, but by pest control operator abatement will help us understand the scope of this throughout the city of San Francisco. I did have a number of amendments, which i had articulated prior to Public Comment and i was hope we could ta
To San Francisco anymore. Keep up the good work on these bed bugs. They are a really serious threat to the entire city. Thank you. Thank you. Is there any other Public Comment . Seeing none, Public Comment is now closed. [ gavel ] supervisor david campos . Thank you very much, madame chair. And i want to thank all of the members of public who have come out to speak on this item. I also want to note that we have in the audience former supervisor tony hall and its good to welcome a former member of this body here. I will keep my comments very brief, because i think that everything that has been said, that needs to be said about this matter has been said by the tenants themselves. And i especially wanted to thank the tenants and the residents of not just sro hotels, but different units in the city that have come forward to shed light on this issue. I also want to thank supervisor kim and her staff, who have been dealing with this issue from the moment that she got elected. And i think tha
