Thank you president peskin and colleagues. Similarly to other items that came out of the Budget Committee without recommendation, this one is to just draw your attention about concern s with the performance and contract oversight, not just by the contractor but also the department. Adult Probation Department understand we really look to see these type of contract to track not just about the contract itself, but the impact of those contract. In this case, it is just recidivism rate amoung those that are housed and will replace in longterm housing. We do understand there is a new request for proposal issued in 2023. Well learn about the result of the rfp june 2024, so very very soon, so with that, this is only extending this contract to end june 2024, coincide the time we have a new contract in place i hope, so the reason why without recommendation and also just the policy matter from the budget and legislative analyst report. We are urging you to support it and vote for it today, because im eager to see after we wrap up with this contract whats next and hopefully well have better results then. Thank you. Thank you supervisor chan. Supervisor preston. Thank you president peskin and supervisor chan is and Budget Committee for thoughtful consideration of this. I want to speak briefly on the drake hotel is in district 5 and the bla report documented that there were significant vacancies throughout the duration of this contract, which i think is really unacceptable. Fortunately the good news is vast majority of the vacancies has since been filled, so i appreciate that and also appreciate the work that the thc workers on site are doing some challenging work and appreciate all their efforts. But, i mention this because i just think from what weve seen in digging into this a bit, that there was a real lack of formal monitoring and oversight from the adult Probation Department, and i think some lacking on the side of efforts to make sure that these spaces were filled with people. There is obviously the tremendous need and i think we just need more to make sure that if we have vacancies and we talked about this in other context, that is flagged earlier and we really address and tackle the reasons for those vacancies, especially when we are already funding this housing option for folks. I just want to encourage probation on that front. I will be supporting this and i know the Grant Agreement as chair chan noted ends june this year and look forward to continuing the conversation then, so ill be supporting this. Thank you. Supervisor safai. Yeah, just through the chair, just looking at the report. I just wanted to ask the budget chair, is this still a partnership between thc and adult probation . I wasnt clear a hundred percent. That is my understanding, correct . So, through the chair, item 21 this grant amendment is still with tenderloin housing clinic with adult Probation Department is the actually existing contract and since 2020. It has been ongoing, this is the 4th amendment of this Grant Agreement. I think that mainly really because the last one is to add it i believe the drake and sharon hotels, which makes sense, and also added the dollar amount. It started off with i believe 2 million and added to now to 11 million. It makes sense in terms of dollars. Really is more or less that they have not been meeting the performance audit really or should say the contract in last two fiscal years at least, but you know, according to the budget legislative analyst, it is also on the adult probation as well. During the pandemic they have not performed the performance audit. During the Budget Committee they expressed strong commitment that they will start to do inperson and site visit. I dont know if the new rfp means that the awardee is tenderloin housing clinic, but i look forward to seeing the results. They will be report back in june. Thank you. I just wanted to just jump in and say, i really appreciate the hard work that adult probation has done over the last few years. We worked with them in the nob hill, Union Square Area to do sober living and reentry work and alternative sentencing work and Community Partners so we know that is a successful model. Appreciate this is also in the vain with tenderloin housing clinic so very supportive of the work adult probation has done in general to expand these options of clean and sober housing. We need more of it, and i think that probably what i got from looking at the bla report there was widening of their target population becausef the referrals or lack of referrals in covid and now they are getting back to doing their bred and butter work i think they will be a lot more successful and full occupancy along with full implementation of their program, so im fully in support of this today and hope that we can continue to expand clean and sober housing models with adult probation and reentry. Thank you, mr. President. Alright. So, seeing no other names on the roster, colleagues, i believe we can take this item same house, same call. The resolution is adopted. Next item, please. Item 22, is ordinance to amend the park code to close the great highway extension beginning at sloat boulevard and extending south for 3317 feet to vehicles to allow for a multiuse trail and to improve shoreline resilience as part of the ocean beach Climate Change adaptation project. Supervisor melgar. Thank you so much president peskin and thank you colleagues for your attention to this legislation. I wanted to explaint this is not the great highway north of sloat, which is in supervisor engardios district. This is the great highway south of sloat, so runs alongside the sewage trument facility on the west side. We are doing this because our sea levels are rising. The Sewage Treatment facility is right there and we are lost part of the road to the organization already. So, in the years of planning and collaboration with the coastal commission, and the great work that the puc staff has done with multiple stakeholders, this project is now finally ready to go forward. It is comp licated and will involve lots of construction, but in addition to closing off the great highway south of sloat, we are going to get a wonderful new park that is pedestrianized with amenities like a staircase going down to the beach and a new parking lot where folks who surf can park and carry their surf boards down to the ocean. There is going to be a way for kids to be able to experience this area of the city in a completely new way, and i want to say thank you in particularly to the folks at the puc and rec and park for having come up with a plan and design that works for everyone. So, i hope for your support and you know, a few years from now when it is all done, we will enjoy this amenity which will have a bathroom where currently there isnt a working one and it will be awesome. Thank you. Thank you supervisor melgar. Seeing no names on the roster take this same house same call. The ordinance is passed First Reading. Next item, please. Item 23 is ordinance to amend the administrative code to set minimum qualifications from suppliers which the sate procures fire arms and ammunition. Supervisor stefani. Thank you. We know gun violence is epidemic in this country and the number one cause of death for children and teens now is gun violence, which is absolutely unacceptable. We know this effects our communities on a daily basis. Our kid
