Fund departments may mead extra Staff Members to do various things. I think people have been doing more with less and that works for a while but after some period of time people cant do more without having more and they are all stressed out. We may need more resources for the clerks office. Perhaps some other general fund departments. I do agree with the clerks recommendations that were on that slide that i cant see right now. Those are the recommendations today. We no, i thinks may change early next year and probably will change several times next year. I understand that the mayors budget instructions are due out next wednesday. I understood that this committee was not meeting next wednesday and perhaps this was the last scheduled meeting for the year. I am wondering when the mayors budget instructions will be up for discussion at the Budget Committee . Perhaps someone can address that question. Thank you very much. Thank you for your comments, sir. Next speaker, please. That complete
Are expanding services at some of the existing congregate meal sites that are overserving. Are there any questions . Im trying to see where that site is located. Its not the swords to plows. It is swords to plowshares, its identified as such. Where is that on the presidio. On the list . Oh, the address. Yes. It is 1030 gerard road and it is right in presidio. Currently actually, swords to plowshares, they have their own Lunch Program that we dont oversee, we dont, you know, but the program finds that these veterans really had a need for Additional Service so they are partnering with project open hand to be able to provide a dinner meal for these seniors.

Seems to be they are serving about 50 people a day on some days. Other days its higher. I think staff from self help for the elderly might be able to give us more accurate information. I was there actually this monday after the grand opening at west portal, the senior center, our colleagues went to lunch there and we saw during an hour 25 seniors already there having lunch. But the program is definitely growing. I went there and eat myself too, okay, and i was asking the highest number they have served it was 75 or something on one day. Yeah. So it seemed like to be very, very popular. Uhhuh. So we are adding additional funds to be able to hopefully accommodate more of the seniors. Is that in the sunset area . Champs. The second site. The second site is not identified yet but, yes, we are targeting sunset because currently we only have one congregate meal site that falls into that supervisor district.

Uhhuh. So we are adding additional funds to be able to hopefully accommodate more of the seniors. Is that in the sunset area . Champs. The second site. The second site is not identified yet but, yes, we are targeting sunset because currently we only have one congregate meal site that falls into that supervisor district. Yeah, its one of the lowest resource in terms of what we fund. Does this amount of funds provide a chance to rotate the menu, or is it the same menu over . Do they have. There is money in there, part of the nutrition compliance is developing the menu and making changes at least once a year. Of course we can do that more often but its selfhelp would need to work with the restaurant to be able to make those changes. Now, the current menu for the champs actually is pretty diverse, has a lot of different choices. You know i think if you look at all the different combinations that you can have its probably close to 20 different menus that you can eat there. Of course you kno
