With the community we convened a working group of enabled leaders and we did a lot of talking about the concerns and the concerns that surfaced for the neighborhood that we heard very clearly they did not want this site to be 24 7 and they did not want people coming in from ousted tenderloin or being brought in from outside the tenderloin use services so we took that to heart and scaled back what we planned for that and we know that any Head Quarters for the department of homelessness needs to be accessible to folks experiencing homelessness but we wanted to listen and be respectful of the community and scale back the Resource Center from there we continue to hold meet meetings and i ran ten meetings throughout the Community Alliance for a better tenderloin and met with stakeholders the mayor led a meeting with Business Leaders in the community and we discussed this framework and this plan and i think that this what we landed on here comes through with a nice compromise we had some folks calling for a big Resource Center at 440 and some folks calling for no Client Services at 440 and we struck a great ball and we found support throughout the neighborhood and activating the site providing security and a place for people to come in and not a magnet bringing people in and not having the people bringing from all over the city and that was one of the biggest concerns that we heard and we wanted to be really responsive and a Good Neighbor and were interested in working with the block the other Business Owners and other providers on the block to activate that space and we look forward to being part of the neighborhood. Thank you. Yeah. In regards to im just curious emily, in regards to those two Large Community meetings i mean, departments come in here all the time saying we had this Large Community meeting with five people and i am just curious how many people were in attendance total for the two . I had 150 signins from those meetings and they werent even 75 75 but it was 150 folks total came to both of those meetings. That constitutes large. Its not large to me. Every department has the defense. Any other questions . Ok. If i could just add to that, you know, the issue that has come up and i have received emails about this today is that there were some folks who felt like we ignored their concerns about having showers and laundry facilities on site and i want to be clear we didnt ignore anybodys concerns and we didnt grow with everybodys concerns so we understand, we made a proposal and it was not accepted by the community and we scaled it back to turn it in to Something Else after listening to folks but where we landed on this its noting going to be a Resource Center and it will be a welcoming department and meet the needs of our clients who come in as someone coming in getting a bus home or to get and go to a housing interview we need to have some very basic Services Available to those folks including showers and building and its to serve one or two people to do that so we heard the community and some people want this to be lots of showers and laundry and places to sit for hundreds of people and some as emily said didnt want, we heard everybodys concerns and we did our best to balance those concerns with the needs of the department and most importantly with the needs of people who are experiencing homelessness. Let me have about the office space for a second here. I guess again, i thought it was going to be office space and then it would accommodate your staff it seems like were cutting it in half using second floor for office space. First and second floor. Ok, primarily second floor. And then is that going to come and accommodate your exist ing staff plus grove. It will accommodate, yes t. Will at this time it will not accommodate all of our staff we had originally presented was you know two 440 turk and ninth street it would have accommodated our staff and growth and it will accommodate our staff all of our staff and plus some growth but not staff not Civil Service staff who are currently working with the hot team and were still arguing to need to find another location in order to place the hot team and we looked at possibly doing that on the first floor of 440 but its not large enough to make that possible and to be able to at least have a welcome welcoming lobby for those who are going to come in and look for services. How many would this accommodate . Where are you now . How many staff do we have . Where are we locked . So were currently located at 50 ivy street facility on Mission Street at 101 grove street at 1360 Mission Street and 1650 Mission Street. And you will vacating these places . Yes. All except for 50 i. V. So when were able to make the move we will be in 50 i. V. And then at 440 turks so well be in two locations. Thats good to know. Thank you. Thank you. Any Public Comments on this item come on up you have two minutes. Hi. My name is and i work for the housing clinic we oversee three programs i oversee three programs which is a thorough residents in the tender loin and latino families and Code Enforcement and we came to know about this going back on history threw a thats what the department was proposing and there was a lot of community as to there was no community in the process it would not fly in any other neighborhood this way so there was processes but i have to disagree with the department that the final plans the concrete final plans were not put out to the community and i actually gained a lot more information coming to this meeting i would not have known about this meeting if the department wouldnt have emailed me and my supervisor about coming to this meeting and im not sure to be honest with you the communitys little frustrated about the transparency as to what real re is going on we would like to the last communication that we have was october 8th i think or eighth where we got an email from emily basically saying that we are scaling back 80 of the space for office and 20 would be for Clients Services and were still filling out the Client Services and i know about the working group that would come out with a survey to figure out gnaw didnt happen so im asking for continuance because i think the Community Needs to hear about what was presented today and i hear that from the laundry facilities will be for the program but its not what was told to me when i asked so it would be that program and summary the program did not sure yet about difference services so i think what i would appreciate is this particular information was held out to the community before coming here so im asking for continuance, thank you. Thank you, very much. Good afternoon supervisors, jim, chamber of commerce we strongly support this resolution and declaration of emergency to move this project along and every City Department that deals with a constituency has to have a facility which that constituency can access that and thats what were talking about here theres a new department consolidated moving 100 staffers in to a location we need this access and we need Dropin Centers and other Access Points for other populations and this department serves and this is one small step towards putting this department together giving some access to its population that seeks its services at that location and strongly urge you to approve this and move it on tomorrow to the full board, thank you. Hello im kelly cutler with the coalition on homelessness and were located right next door and we are in support of this and we would like to see more access to other services because folks needed a shower and a place to sit down and also to connect 20 services and i did attend the multiple Community Meetings, a lot of Community Meetings there and honestly just like every Community Meeting you have in each of your districts and every district all around, theres always push back. Thats just something that were constantly dealing with. But theres a huge need in our community and in the tenderloin in that area. My concern is around what is going on with policing around there but. Any other Public Comments on this item. See none. Any comments. Supervisor safai. Thank you, chair. I just want to say it sounds like theres almost unanimous support for this but theres still confusion as to exactly how the 20 of the building thats going to be used as showers, laundry, i heard the presentation today about outward Homeward Bound Program that makes sense to me it sounds like youve heard consistently that some people dont want it as a Dropin Center and some people want it as expanded services but i guess, i would feel more comfortable support north item today if there was someway that we could then have your agency come back and give us a clear detailed plan maybe with some additional conversations on the communities so theres more support or theres more input and there might not be union nam tee on the issue but it sounds like the plan is not still 100 concrete and i am very happy having started my career in San Francisco that you will have your office there at that location and i think its a great location to have office space it will do wonders to bring more bodies and interested parties to that area and i spent almost more than half of my career in San Francisco almost 20 years eight plus more than half of my career at that corner at the corner of turke and hide within one block so i know it better than any other block in San Francisco other than the one that i live on personally and so i think that its great um be located there and i would appreciate the opportunity for your department to come back with a very detailed plan exactly how that space is going to be used and the Homeward Bound Program sounds like a great start but sounds like theres confusion of how it will be utilized. That would be my only comment. Thank you. I am not sure if this general consensus yet on this and im not sure exactly about what the plan is and i appreciate that youve had community out reach and what is really strange about this hearing today is for all the people that are so passionate i dont see anybody here that is almost telling me something in fact this was supposedly an emergency meeting to talk about emergency items for emergency issues so there was just wondering how broadly this is put out to the public. Im uncomfortable and im willing to do a continuance on this and which may then delay it a week or two or actually it doesnt matter it would be delayed until next year. Im willing i havent heard, this happened so quickly as you know this was like it was called for emergency on friday afternoon and id like to reared than continue tractortrailer item id like to send it out of committee with no recommendation so we can move forward and as of tomorrow we can look at for the rest of the colleagues to weigh in on this and maybe i would feel more comfortable giving 24 hours to give feedback from the community and stay her motion. I move to send this to the full board without recommendation. As Committee Report. Yes for tomorrow. Ok. Motion passes. Thank you. Mad amount clerk anything else. Clerk nothing further. Meeting adjourned. Thank you, good afternoon, everyone, this meeting will come to order, welcome to the december 11th, 2017 special meeting of the rules committee. My name is supervisor chair of the committee and to my left is Rule Committee members norman ye e our clerk today is john carole. And id like to thank jesse larson and nona mallconian for staff north meeting. Do you have any announcements. Silence cellphones and Electronic Devices and copys of documented should be submitted to the clerk and items acted upon will appear on the january 92,018th board of supervisors agenda unless otherwise stated. Thank you mr. Clerk. Please call item number 1. An ordinance with the code to establish the Tenant Assistance Fund for hazardous housing and to allow eligible tenants to vacate issued bit department of building inspection or Fire Department to receive Financial Assistance for the fund for up to two years. Great. Unless theres im just going to make a few opening comments and call up members from the Mayors Office and department of building inspection, Fire Department and our Human Services agency and City Attorneys Office all who have worked on this fund. Back in the beginning part of this year as many of you know but this is also just for the general publics knowledge we discovered a hazardous situation and we had 30 individuals leave in dungeonlike conditions. They were in an old converted garage with no windows and no light and one way in and one way out exposing electrical wires and pluming and essentially little coupe cal cubicals built underground that were very small, tiny Living Spaces for almost 30 individuals and the reason this was brought tour. Tonimarie our attention we got a call from a tenant that said they were in dispute with the Master Tenant and many of you know a Master Tenant would be in one persons name with many people under one person and the Master Tenant dispute resulted in pg and e being shut off and there was an individual with breatheing support or ventilateer support that could not get it along with all the other tenants that needed electricity and it was a Master Tenant situation and we were extremely perplexed by the call for that particular address because we couldnt imagine where anyone would be living and Building Inspections along with the fire marshal were called and went out immediately inspected the space and discovered what i described in the beginning of the remarks and individuals living in dungeonlike conditions. For the first time in our citys history there was an order to vacate by the Fire Department but with that vacation, the City Attorneys Office was able to negotiate a relocation money two months rent and utilities for the tenants that were documented at that space over 4,000 per tenant and then working with the City Attorneys Office and h. S. A. And my staff and ben ames along with the department of homelessness and the support of housing we were able to negotiate some space in the existing building upstairs while an unauthorized church vacated individuals stayed there for a short amount of time and we got these individuals in to salvation army, light house, for a few months temporary temporarily again h. S. A. Stepped up to support those tenants and in the meantime we had this conversation that there was a warehouse working group that was then evolved in to this hazardous Housing Working Group and that is what is before us today and weve create aid new piece of legislation and we have a new program that will essentially treat individuals that are living . These conditions that are essentially asked to move or evicted at no fault of their own very similar to a fire and so we looked at the Fire Victims Assistance Program and essentially made a sub section under that program that would be dealing with individuals living in a hazardous housing situation and so this is designed to be transitional subsidy for those individuals six months primarily at discretion of the director of h. S. A. To extend more no more than two years to find more permanent housing so we again appreciate my colleagues sitting in a special rules committee meeting, we want to have this sent to the full board of the Committee Report because we want to take the first vote before the holidays and also to finalize this program when we return from our wintery sets so that we can begin to set this up and some of the things id like folks presenting today to think about is i know we did some initial thinking about how this money would be utilized and how much people might be able to avail themselves for this program but we might think about properly funding this if theres going to be more individuals identified as well as based on the discovery of more individual s living in substandard housing that might be asked to leave and the difficulty with this versus our fire victims Assistance Fund is in a situation of a fire, very often tenants have a place to move back to when the work is completed or theyre giving that option in this situation, its not as clear cut in terms of the ability to move back for five mesh a there was no option there was no way to make that livable space, if it were a above ground theres windows and air and light and maybe the upgrades could be made to make the housing more permanent and again thats why we put the discre
