The hot team can refer people to the navigation center, those stays are limited to 30days. The majority of people staying there end up on the street after 30days. When we look at the people going to the navigation center, the numbers are not significant. We look at the numbers coming out. The persistence of homelessness is a problem of political will until the public understands the city needs to invest in housing, this problem is going to continue. I think we need the Police Department to educate constituents about this instead of saying police can get people into services or perpetuating the idea the members of the public have that polices is the solution, it is crucial to be honest with the public. President turman is the Police Department perpetuating that idea . Are we telling the people that policing the homeless is what we are here for, we can get you into these services . That is not us. That is another department. As much as i agree with what you are saying, i am glad to do ou
In their solicitation process. What is unique about the program under the ocii is what is gone as a first consideration for project area sbe and San Francisco sbes. The Small Business program through the agency evolved from a minority Business Program into a Small Business program in 2004, but it has always been not restricted to San Francisco but looking at San Francisco as first consideration. Under that prims what does first consideration mean in terms of enforcement . Staff auch participates on a professional Service Basis as a example in the rfg process being the request for qual fiications and we encourage developers to go through a rfq process oppose today a rfp so it makeatize a little ease wrr for Small Business tooz respond.

Submitted bids, whether they are San Francisco based businesses with the fees that are submitted or the bid prices and again, we ask that the contractors meet with us, run through the bid summaries. Intended selection before Actual Contractors are awarded and subcontracts. That is in a nut shul some of the process of what good faith effort means and what i would like to do is step back one step further to talk about what defines a Small Business. It is a topic that will come up in the next agenda item. This past 6 month jz prior to that, the existing pract is recognize Small Businesses based on common in the industry or terminology of ownership have control and i brink this up in the sense the owner of a Small Business shoulden be affiliated with another firm, a larger firm as a example. That is often the case in terms of minority Women Business programs where ownership may not be bonifyed or true. Same with this business in termoffs Small Business. We are not looking at ath nisty or g
At ath nisty or gender we look at the principle thofz firm to insure they are small in 2459 respect and not affiliated with another firm. We look at licensing requirements to insure the owner does control the firm and when i say we look at, these are principles in the sbe policy as you are fully aware. Ocii no longer performs certification but look at other Certification Programs that adopt similar projects and cmd which we rely upon with the San Francisco database look at these same principles. What the term is the Small Business in terms of size, i think it is important. For professional services we look at a 3 year avrng gross receipt of 2 million dollars, suppliers for 7 million and construction 14 million. It means a Small Business must have 3 year average gross receipts no greater than these thresholds and this is topic of discussion for the next ajebda idem in terms of harmonizing with the city.
