Us, it takes a minimum of three months. And so by virtue of that time schedule, it makes this a retroactive approval. It doesnt mean normally, retroactive is it has it refers to the timing difference between when the accept and expend is approved versus when is the grant award start date. And so because we cant chair fewer when is the grant award start date . 912019. Chair fewer so mr. Leong, i just want to be perfectly transparent with you to say that if it was a start date, that you tell me it takes you three months for your department to go through an accept and expend is somewhat unacceptable, and the fact that now its five months since that, i think to bring that to us retroactively, i just want to say i think its a little i dont think your reasoning actually is somewhat valid. I actually do think the departments approve the accept and expend grants all the time. Its because theyre notified later and this is because its retroactive. Okay. So i just want to caution you that before you go before the full board that you may want to have a conversation perhaps with the sponsor and figure that out. I am just telling you for this hearing today, i think this should have been brought before the budget and finance committee before, but im just going to caution you that if this goes before the full board, they will question you. We did intend to try to speed up that process, but some of what delayed the resolution was when we calendared it for our police commission, it was around the same time that we had we were preparing our budget, but also, at the same time, it was during the holidays, and so some of that has to do with the Holiday Schedule and getting the necessary approvals before we reached that step. Chair fewer thank you, mr. Leong. And so the total request for this is almost 400,000, and the grant request is 298. And i am hearing from officers that actually, this is a piece of equipment that is being that is used on a somewhat regular basis and that actually it complements the services of our existing coast guard and other jurisdictions that might have similar equipment, is that correct, mr. Leong . That would be correct. Chair fewer and then im hearing that the equipment that weve had before is aging, and although this takes minimal from the officers from what im heard, it takes minimal maintenance, that the Police Department will absorb the future cost of the maintenance, is that correct . Thats correct. Chair fewer okay. Lets open this up for Public Comment. Is there any member of the public that would like to comment on item 9 . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Are there any comments or questions from my colleagues . Seeing no comments or questions from my colleagues, id like to make a motion to seforward thi to the full board with a positive recommendation, and we can do that without objection. [gavel]. Chair fewer madam clerk, would you call the next item. Supervisor haney chair fewer, if its possible, can i make a few comments before they present because i have to run. I want to thank in advance everyone whos here and who brought this proposal forward. Ive been in meetings with representatives from the department and am happy to see the support from the neighborhood for this proposed center and also the work that the department has done to take some of the feedback and integrate that into whats before us today. I as you as ive made very clear and very supportive of Navigation Centers in general, and i know that this particular area around 33 gough is an area that has a significant amount of neighborhood homelessness and is in need of additional services. This Old City College building has long been a concern for neighborhood residents and businesses, and it is a very positive thing to see it transformed and used to serve so many people in need. I have a fee amendments that were going to be putting forward that i think are in front of everybody. Theres a couple things that i do want to flag that relate to the amendments and also to some other issues that i want to make sure to put on the record. One of the i do think that we are learning in terms of the importance of doing extensive Neighborhood Outreach and community meetings. I do want to say that if we can do more of that with the neighborhood before its announced, it is always a positive thing. I personally found out about this Navigation Center proposal i think the day before it was announced, and i also just want to say that for the engage the with the Supervisors Office and the surrounding constituents that having more opportunity for a collaborative effort and input and engagement on the front end is a positive thing. I also and i brought this up with the department really do think its important to have a significant commitment to have a zone around the Navigation Center, and i know that there is a commitment to that and were working on that together. I also believe its important that we consider the opportunity to provide a more diverse set of referrals to the Navigation Center. I think when we only have referrals that come from hsoc or Law Enforcement or even hot teams, we may be missing an opportunity to collaborate with neighborhood and Community Organizations who can provide access and who know individuals and work directly with individuals already who can benefit from the services and transitional housing that a Navigation Center can provide. So the proposed set of amendments are on page 3 of the resolution that have been made. One that the departments and district supervisors have agreed to convene regular meetings with the surrounding vicinity including but not limited to the number of people served and outcomes. The Service Provider has agreed to establish a Good Neighbor policy for the Navigation Center, and the neighborhood has created an outreach zone and will offer an outreach and initial priority to the unhoused neighbors in the vicinity. I think there are a number of Navigation Centers in this surrounding area, and im hopeful that we will continue to build these throughout the city, but this is a neighborhood that will benefit from these services and opportunities, and there are a number of people who are unhoused in this area who will be able to access services, shelter, and a transition to housing as a result of us activating a piece of property that has remained vacant for some amount of time, so thank you for your hard work and everything that went into this. I apologize that i have to leave early before this, but id like to be added as a cosponsor. Chair fewer thank you. And so we have gigi whitley. Good morning. Gigi whitley, director of the office of finance and Supportive Housing. Thank you to the committee for your hearing us through this proposed resolution that would propose that would approve a lease between the city and the property operated at 33 gough street for the proposed upper market safe Navigation Center at an annual lease cost of 1. 259 million. I will give a brief presentation. I also have with me the director of the department of real estate, and we can answer any questions you may have. Youre well aware, from my last presentation, about a week ago or two weeks ago the crisis on our streets. I wont revisit those comments, but i do want to thank the committee for your unanimous support and approval of the t. A. Y. Navigation center that passed the board yesterday. That project and this project at 33 gough will allow us to meet the citys goals and the Mayors Initiative of 1,000 new beds opening by 2020, which will allow us to increase capacity [inaudible] as all of our programs are predominantly run by our nonprofit providers. This will really operate as an outreach Triage Center a little bit differently than our other Navigation Centers. Like all our Navigation Centers, it would offer 247 access to clients, but no referrals, only by referral, no walkins. We always have a Good Neighbor policy, but we are learning through the Navigation Centers weve done recently, the t. A. N. Navigation center and this new site how to really refine our Good Neighbor policy and some of our outreach protocols so that theres a lot of Community Support for this new project. Chair fewer miss whitley, so supervisor mandelman and myself, my office, have been briefed on this item, too. Okay. Chair fewer so i think what we would like to hear also, just briefly, do you have anything that you wanted to add . Nothing at all . Okay. The time schedule for this. The schedule of when this is actually going to come on board. Okay. So just jumping on that, the idea is that once this gets approved by the full board, we could immediately proceed into construction timeline. We our partners at the department of health say we could be completed by fall 2020 and be able to operate for two full years before redevelopment to permanent housing. Chair fewer okay. Thats what we wanted to hear. Can we hear from the b. L. A. , please. Yes. The leasing costs are estimated about 4. 3 million over the threeyear term. We show annual operating costs are about 7. 5 million for actually operating the Navigation Center. There are some tenant improvement costs, and we actually do not know what those will be. Our information is that the plans for developing this site is still in the conceptual phase. But funding for the site and planning costs have been identified in the eraf costs. We recommend approval. Chair fewer thank you very much. Lets open this up for Public Comment oh, supervisor mandelman . Supervisor mandelman you may not have the answer to this question, because ive not provided it in advance. Im increasingly horrified by the cost that it costs the city to build bathrooms. Im just curious how much its going to cost to build these moti modular bathroom facilities. Ill have to get back to you on this. This was actually intended to be more cost efficient. Supervisor mandelman i sensed that. Im just curious even with the more efficient option costs. Maybe you can provide that to me offline. Yeah. As the budget analyst said, we dont have final cost numbers. We think its going to be less than the similar sized Navigation Center at embarcadero because it is an existing structure, but happy to follow up with public works and get that information to you as soon as possible. Supervisor mandelman thank you. Chair fewer thank you. Lets open this up for Public Comment. Any members of the public wish to speak on item 10 . Supervisor peskin, mandelman, and preston, theyre speaking out about this in their districts, as well. Why this one is not certainly not more important, but we had our spidey senses go up on, its less than 500 feet from our offices. The key is focusing the Outreach Center near the Navigation Center itself, because that will help build relationsh relationships on the street. We absolutely agree and urge this to move forward. Chair fewer next speaker, please. Good morning, supervisors. Moises garcia from the s. F. Gay mens chorus. Were about 100 meters from the proposed site and are in support of this and others. I am bolstered by the amendments proposed by supervisor haney. Just like the other speaker just said, were really interesting in knowing what that zone is of outreach. And were looking forward to those individuals getting housed, both for their quality of life and our quality of life. Chair fewer any other memo Public Comment . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Supervisor mandelman . Supervisor mandelman i have a question. To what extent do we think that people may start camping in the vicinity of nav centers in the hopes that they get sort of priority to be placed in nav . Is that an issue . Do we think its going to happen . Has it happened . Through the chair, supervisor, let me get back to you on that. Im not the programmatic expert, so let me get that for you. Chair fewer id like to make a motion to approve the amendments. If we can take that without objection. Thank you very much. [gavel]. Chair fewer and then id like to make a motion to move this to the full board with a positive recommendation, and we can do that without objection. [gavel]. Chair fewer madam clerk, is there any other business before us today . Clerk there is no further business before us today. Chair fewer and we are adjourned. [gavel] sustainability mission, even though the bikes are very Minimal Energy use. It Still Matters where the energy comes from and also part of the mission in sustainability is how we run everything, run our business. So having the lights come on with clean energy is important to us as well. We heard about cleanpowersf and learned they had commercial rates and signed up for that. It was super easy to sign up. Our bookkeeper signed up online, it was like 15 minutes. Nothing has changed, except now we have cleaner energy. Its an easy way to align your environmental proclivities and goals around Climate Change and its so easy that its hard to not want to do it, and it doesnt really add anything to the bill. [roll call] you have a quorum. Item 3 announcement of prohibition of soundproducing devises. The ringing of use of cellphones and pagers and sound producing electric devices are prohibited and the chair may over the removal from the room of any person responsibility for one going off in the middle of the meeting.

All those in favor say aye. Aye. All those opposed. Consider those approved. Clerk communications. Mr. Chair i have none for you today. Item 6, introduction of new or Unfinished Business by Board Members. Any new or Unfinished Business youd like to address . Very good. Clerk directors report. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. It is my pleasure to turn the mic over to director of transit, Julie Kirshbaum foray wards for her amazing crews who do the actual hard work of serving our public. I think the first photo is ready. Everyday our overhead line unit performs preventative maintenance and keeping our Service Running safely. Theyve also been one of the teams thats been pivotal in really taking advantage of the extended maintenance window and have replaced thousands of feet of overhead wire and i think removed over 30 slices from the system. But they also have a responsibility to respond to emergencies and addressed quickly as possible so we can get service that going. That means theyre working between trains, sometimes that means that theyre working on hours or under tremendous amount oof pressure. Most recently we had a situation. I woke up to the jay line is down, we had someone try onto the tracks. They hit a pole we have overhead wire down in both directions. But i was very, very late to the story because we had two overhead lines team and eric morris, within of our field managers and they had already been working well into the night restored. What they were able to do and it did take two was t crews was thy replaced a pole. It was a wooden pole in the area so we got a little bit lucky we had a replacement pole that they were able to secure it. They re adjusted the overhead lines in both directions and tested the trains. All before 8 00 a. M. They also were supported by our staff in the field led by eric morris as well as the Transportation Management center because it effected the jay train pulling out in the morning, it also meant the fline couldnt pull in that night. So, while we had half of the fline trains pulled in the other half were stuck on Church Street that we were able to get turned around and ready to go back no service the next day. This photo here. I dont know if we called sfgtv. We can see it. Ok. This is a little bit brighter. You see the pole they replaced and how the wire is secured on both sides. I would like to recognize our two overhead line crews. A lot of the crew is sleeping because they work graveyard and so well send them their awards. With us today to represent the entire team is louis giles and john devine. I also want to recognize rob are the ratoff, peter sangita, donald landry, donna silva, robert katelli and timmy. In addition to their overhead line inspectors, david chazinski and overhead morris. The overhead line crew request by name because he is one of very few poem that can speak language and as well as keep the Service Running an. Let us congratulate you for this recognition and all you are doing for the city. This is the work that goes unseen but certainly is felt by the riders on a daily basis so thank you for your actions that day and thank you for your actions everyday. If one of you would like to speak, wed love to hear from you. [laughter] i would like to thank our group when where ou we were oute scene. This is a surprise to me because i recommended them and in return they recommended me back. [laughter] i do appreciate the things that theyve been doing as with all our crews, our maintenance, our overhead lines crews. We learned so much through our chase center adventure. Being able to do things remotely and not just from
