Yes, i can see it now. So today the controller and i will walk through a summary of current Year Spending sorry. Covid19 relating spending by city departments as well as refined numbers from state and federal resources. This is all work in progress at all times. This is the updates since last week. We will also speak to some estimates related to alternative housing and give two funding rereceived to date and walk through the timelines. To begin on city spending for covid to date, departments will spend an estimated 50 to 100 million for core operations related to covid response. Vast majority is anticipated at the department of Public Health related to increased staffing, ppe as well as transportation needed for individuals. To date the departments have gotten money out the door of 15 million, and this includes 10 million for staffing. We have spent, i think there is some accounting here checks out the door for 2 million. Department of Public Health has funding in the cue and pays to spend 10s of millions related to ppe and testing and safety equipment. We have announced the Grant Program which is reallocation of current year funding. Of course, there is a couple Million Dollars for the it needs and additional supplies for our vulnerable populations. We are working and the Controllers Office is leading the reimburse meant to the extent possible for these costs to fema recovery to help us offset those costs. Ben will walk through the next couple of slides. Sure. Good morning. We are working to get our arms around the costs related to the event. We are working with the departments to forecast the number of different expenses. Those include medical staffing by facilities, temporary housing, including hotels there be a significant cost. Inspection and Contact Tracing programs throughout the city. Food service expansion, Emergency Responders support programs including child care and others. Then inspection and hygiene services. We are working on this daily as we speak. A lot of these costs will depend on the ultimate ark of the Health Emergency in San Francisco. We will update you and include full estimated costs in the april projection update from our up the mayors budget office. I know there were specific questions related to costs related to hotels. We did pull together some information related to costs and forecasts of expenses working with eoc in the last several days. The city currently has approximately 2000, 1977 hotel units currently under contract or that the city expects to be in contract within the next couple of days. Our preliminary estimate of the costs for the units for a 90 day period comes to about 35 million. That including the cost of the hotel lease itself, what security, janitorial and other support services at those facilities. Our expectation is that fema will reimburse us for a significant portion of that cost. In particular, fema guidance at this point, which is evolving almost daybyday at this point, is that fema will reimburse for either congregate or nonkong agree gat housinnoncongregate hl reimburse for housing costs related to certain at risk individuals. They are defining for fema purposes over 65 and with certain medical conditions. The ultimate reimburse mat from fema will depend how we filthies units with who and whether or not those individuals are eligible for reimbursement under the fema program. Our current estimate that we expect about 20 million potentially of the 35 million will be fema reimbursesible. I think the two categories here at least under current fema guidance are not reimbursable. First is for any First Responder housing that the local government sets up unless those First Responders are covid positive or exposed. Second broader housing programs that reach to the homeless or other congregate housing not in that Vulnerable Group are not currently reimbursable under currentfina guidance. That explains the difference. The estimate of the balance for the units under contract or will this week comes to 15 million. We would expect that cal will reimburse us for some portion of the fema eligible piece and some sources that we are tracking in the federal stimulus bill we hope to further reduce that. Broader planning goals, Shelter Branch is working on at the moment is to get up to 7,000 units. Well beyond what the city has been able to get contracted to date. Using estimate of cost from 2000 under contract, we would estimate the total three month cost of the larger universe is about 105 million, with about potentially 55 million of that claimable against fema, 50 million yet unsolved. One caveat on the numbers above is these dont yet currently include on site Health Services required at some of these units, depending on population served in different ones. We are estimating those costs but dont have them at this point. The other thing that is not on the page, of course, are other shelter expansion costs in congregate settings as opposed to housing. I will pause for questions. Supervisor ronen. Thank you so much, mr. Controller. How much is the shelter expansion costing . Good question. I dont know that i have that number at my fingertips but i can certainly follow up immediately after the meeting with more information on that. That would be great. Then the only shelter expansion, the administrations plan changes several times each day so it is hard to follow. My understanding right now is moscone west is the only shelter expansion. They mixed the plans for the other two at the tennis club and the palace of fine arts, correct . I am not certain of the status of the tennis club or palace of fine arts. I will get back to you on that. I think you are correct. Other than the fact there is some expansion of hours and services at the existing shelter system in the city. In terms of new shelter beds, the west is the significant one at this point. The major expense thus far is for moscone west . I believe so. I think the state has provided a certain number of trailers at a lesser expense. We can certainly pull together a summary for you of the shelterrelated costs. That would be great. I would appreciate that. Will fema be for 60 or 65 and older . I believe the current fema guidance is 65 and older, which differs somewhat from the citys guidance of 60 and older as the vulnerable population. What are the other categories people that fema will reimburse anyone with out a home that is covid19 positive . Covid positive or exposed. Then i believe those are the two primary categories above and beyond those that dont have the ability to selfquarantine and are over 65 with these health conditions. This is possibly not in your area of knowledge. If someone is slee
