Mr. Young can you bring up item number 1s slides. Puc were very excite today bring this item back before you. As a reminder, this committee and the board approved one prior retro abilitying i have expand for water and power debt. And this is a followup to that for waste water debt. So go through the slides. Can we go to the next slides please, thank you. So on july 1, 2021 as part of the coronavirus recovery fund, 985 Million Dollars was appropriated to water and waste water agencies to eligible residential and commercial customer a rearages that occur through the pandemic. And we did a lot of work through our own to lobby for these funds. Soy wanted to give a shout out, this has been huge help for our agency. Because water and Water Programs were under they were able to cover all arrears for discounts given during the covid fund frames. All funds have been distributed. We wanted to get it out as soon as possible. And funding had to be distributed within 60 days of distributing the check. Can we go to the next slide please. All right, so, this item before you is a retroactive expand for 9. 3 million youll see it there on the table for waste water. And as a reminder, the committee approved, last on may 25 for water and power. And well go to the next slide. And this is juflt a break down of how waste water funds were distributed, about about 80 of the discounts went towards residential and 20 dwards commercial. And lets go on to the next slide please. And then the reason why the waste water funds are in a different timeline than the water and power funds, is because of the waste water details were not released until after the Water Program were completed. We applied for the waste Water Program and we received state approval on april 28th and received the check on may 23, 2020 and went through some time getting accepting packet approved at the Controllers Office and mayors Budget Office and then we introduced it to the board but because of board, here we are in september. And lets go on to the next slide. And just as a heads up, the committee should expect to see one more accepted expense for power, as there is additional funding that will be distributed in the upcoming year. So well bring that item back to the committee in spring of 2023. And lets go on, were sorry, so our recommendation, and our request is to have pass this item on to the board with the recommendation of the committee.

Thank you, good afternoon, honorable, department of homelessness and Supportive Housing. I use he she pronouns. Following this brief presentation. Next slide please. The resolution before you today would authorize hsh to enter into agreement and services at the Multi Service center or msc south. This Grant Agreement would serve up to 140 guests at a drop in center or covid informed capacity as informed by Public Health guidance. The term of the current agreement runs from july 1, 2021 to september 30, 2022 and that could extend the agreement through june 30th of 2026. Not to exceed amount for total amount of 40 million over five years. This amendment would authorize to continue Offering Services at msc south which is one flt largest shelters and operated with compassion common sense and courage for many many years at msc south. So we want to acknowledge st. Paul for their Amazing Services and partnership. Msc used to be a shelter, however during the pandemic, we expanded to be a 24bed shelt and her serves 218 guest at the covid informed capacity. With that, ill stop this presentation and were available for any questions. Thank you. Thank you so much. Supervisor safai . Thank you so much. I do have a couple of questions, regard the level of Service Based on the size of the budget. So my first question, i was looking at the ble report, and it says. Sorry, i should call on the bla first. Sorry, im out of practice. It may make sense. Welcome back from vacation. Lets hear from the vla first. Item 4 is a resolution that approves an amendment between the citys agreement with it extends the existing agreement from september 2022 through june 2026 and increases the not to exceed amount from 22 million to 27 million. As stated this, this provider operates the Multi Service is it thing shelter, and it xas the capacity. Because of covid the capacity has shrink. The shelter is about 1 mt 4 million a year. This is assuming Maximum Capacity at the shelter. It also, you can see that the budget includes 17 contingency. We will see on that budget is that the salaries, decrease from the most resent fiscal year to the years Going Forward. And thats in part because the hazard pay, is no longer being applied to these workers. Though shh is in the process and once it decides any weight changes it can draw from this contract to modify which youll see are flat but there is a b a 17 contingency Going Forward if it seems appropriate by the department. We also evaluated the contract performance and compliance with fiscal monitoring requirement and did not find any issues so we recommend approval. Thank you. Now supervisor safai. So i understand that you did find the er to operate msc south, is that correct . And did the bla have an opportunity to review that contract . Nocious theyre shaking their head. If i may respond, we did work with shs, we so we went back to look at the contract since then so we can understand what has been happening since that time. We did get most of the agreements as well as a fairly thorough history from hsh staff especially about what has been happening. Thats not in front of us, but its the basis for this grew into. So thats why im referencing it. At the time, it seems as though, there is no record of there being any board approval, is that correct . Good afternoon, im gigi director for administration and finance for hsh. Through the chair, supervisor taking those in order, it was an oversight on our part and we can followup with the bla but we did go through our records and work with our colleagues and we did find the expired 2019 agreement. That Agreement Start inside july first, 2014 and then expired in june of 2019 and we provided that to your office and im happy to share that for their file. I only underscore because its an example that has gone through a lot of growing and there is a lot of change. There is change in leadership, i think there is the third director of this department. And previously, there were no controls in place. This is a significant contract that is serving, its extremely important population, function. We only have three really large shelters like that in the city. And so to not have a contract approved although it was the past, i wanted to underscore that today because its important to ensure that the mechanisms were put in place that were ensuring that these contracts are reviewed and that were catching it. And it sounds like like at least you found the contract. It does not seem like you were working there some of the leadership was working there at the time. But it did lead to the contract which leads me to the second question. Drop in services and it does not require to operate at that level and weve had that conversation about some of the other facilities that allow you to operate at a different level. But the budget is not reflective of the current population. Just wanted have a little more explanation about why the budget remains the same. But youre serving a lot fewer clients. True and if i may just to address your previous comment sup
