covering this meeting. >> please silence all cell phones, and all of the speaker cards should be submitted to the clerk, items today will be on the april, 26, board of spurps agenda, unless, otherwise stated. >> we have ten items on the aagain this morning, we will try to get through them. start by calling item one. >> ordinance, amending the administrative code to codify the process for imposing sanctions for non-willful, failures to comply with the county adult assistance programs. >> thank you, madam clerk, so colleagues, when our voters of san francisco passed, we made a commitment that we are going to provide benefits for housing and services that will keep people stabilized it was one of the biggest innovations in addressing the homelessness, and the success has spoken for itself thousands of individuals have found, housing stability, since the implementation, more than a decade ago, and we have a long ways left to go on the streets in san francisco. but in working with a lot of departments last year and i want to note that joyce and i believe that scott and someone else from hsa are here today to answer any questions, that we may have, we found a minor flaw in the program that has enhanced to individuals being evicted which causes them to cycle back into homelessness and cost our city more resources in long run, than if that individual, continued to remain housed. currently, after an individual, has hit, non-compliance with the program requirements for the third time, hsa notified the individual that the benefit may be discontinued. in some circumstances we are able to get back them, but after a third non-compliance where no source and security threatened. dozens of individuals a year could face eviction, due to the non-payment of rent. so i introduced these reforms a while ago, for the housing practice m that will create a three year, rental assistance project for the participants and codify the process for imposing the sanctions for the requirements to keep the vulnerable populations secure and lower the risk of eviction, the intent is to reduce the homelessness. the intent of the reforms that we introduced to significantly reduce the risk that our cash participants will be ee viblt vikted or become, insecure. under the proposal, a three year pilot program, participants who reside in hsa funding supportive housing and have engaged in three acts of failure to comply with the program requirements will be ineligible for receive the cash assistance for a month. but make a rental payment during that month on the behalf of the client. hsa will collect the assistance under this project and the annual report to the board of spurps describing the effectiveness and the recommendation foz improvement. and the individuals who receive rental assistance under the project, must do a few things, they must reinstate the cap during the first month of the sanction period in order to reestablish the income source to allow them to resume the payments the following month and reestablish the participation in a fair party rent service in the cap. individuals will not be able to qualify for rental assistance under the pilot project, if it is due to fraud, willful, non-compliance, with the requirements or the loss of program inelbility due to reasons, including increase in income or assets for another cash assistance program. homelessness, ko nts to persist on our streets here in san francisco and it has done so for years. i do believe that we can continue to talk about here in the city hall that providing housing opportunities for the homeless can be an important thing to do and keeping those that are housed that were homeless in the houses i believe that it reconfirms to keep the people in their homes and i hope to have your support. with that, colleagues, are there any questions? for hsa? at all? push push there is no report on item one. snechlt okay. in ewith that we can return if there are any questions, we will open it up for public comment, anybody wish to comment on this item? snechlt okay. seeing none, public comment is close supervisor tang? snechlt one question is how many the pilot is estimated to cost? >> i think that, i will bring it to say that the answer and i imagine that she will have the same answer that i will is that, we expect it to be the amount, and obviously there is no budget analyst report. but we don't have a secure number at this point. because data has never been collected. but we know that the people have been evicted for this reason. >> they have been and it will be a minimum amount and we will keep track when the pilot is implemented and so we will have a sense of how much it is. but hopefully with the reach out after the third discontinuance, it will avoid people being evicted and having to pay back rent. >> we have the numbers as to the number of discontinuance, but not the dollar amounts that i am aware. >> the mayor's budget often. thank you. joyce you would know this best. but the amount of rent that each individual is paying per month is somewhere around, 100 or 20 a month. >> exactly, >> so the subdy would be for that amount, and we are not projecting an impact but collecting the data going forward. >> because no budget impact then it is not going to be included in the up coming year's budget. >> correct, it will be included in what we already have in the ongoing base for the contracts. right now we are not thinking that it needs to be increased. >> thank you. >> just to add the color on that also, we anticipate the cost savings to provide through the eviction path and we will have more reports on this going forward and it is actually more costly, than the month of rent, which is why we are implementing this program to actually save the dollars on one side and also to keep the people housed. that is the win-win situation that we are looking for. supervisor yee. >> what are the plans in terms of reporting back about this pilot project? is it at the end of three years? annually? >> i believe that we are going to collect data quarterly. and roll it up. and like the eviction report, sponsored by supervisor farrell we will report out at the end of each fiscal year. >> that satisfies me, i think that we need to know at the end of the first year if there is an impact or not. if there is a fiscal impact because it makes the adjustments. correct. >> any further questions? >> discussions? okay. so i would ask for the folks support. any motion on this? all right. >> through the cha, their, i wo like to make a motion. >> the motion by tang and the second by supervisor yee. you can call number two. >> resolution making changes to the city and county of san francisco special tax district no 2009-1, to amend authorized financing purposes for including accessibility for access financing for persons with disabilities. >> thank you this item was sponsored by supervisor tang. >> thank you, supervisor farrell and so this was to amend a special tax district that our city has set up for green financing. what we want to do is to allow those who are making accessibility improves to their buildings to also be able to participate in the special tax district. and so, there is an amendment that i need to offer today. which i have passed out to you and our city attorney. and it is on the third page. basically what the amendment does is that it references an ordinance that we will need to adopt in the future to authority the levy and the collection of special taxes within the special tax district to finance a cost of accessibility improvements. we had previously made it seem like we had already done so. but we actually need to do that in the future. so colleagues, if there are no other questions or comments, i think that i would just like to make a motion to amend this legislation as such. and then send it forth to the full board. >> okay. motion by supervisor tang, we will take the public comment before we vote on that. if know other questions or comments, open this up to public comment. would you like to comment on item two? >> seeing, none, public comment is closed. motion by supervisor tang to amend and the accepted underlying item to the full board with recommendation. second by yee and take it without objection, would you call item three. >> resolution, authorizing the director of transportation of san francisco transportation, to enter into a contract with skidata for the equipment and software and professional services required to install and maintain new parking access, to not-to-exceed, $20 million. >> we have the mta to speak on this item? >> great, good afternoon, supervisors my name is ted graf and i am the director of parking. i am here to present this parking contract for the equipment and 22 of the parking facilities. with the preview was late yesterday, at the long mta board meeting around 5:30 last night. quick introduction, this will effect, 22 parking facilities and one lot and parking fa tillties, they collect, 94 million in gross revenue, in the net, approximately, 47 million for the city. the current system has passed the use of life and there are concerns, primarily, revolving around the pci requirements and the service issues as well. provided a map here, hopefully you can take a quick look at it, and it might show up here. but you will notice that a number of the facilities in the blue, and those are the primary parking facilities. and our locations, in gray are our off street surface lots. and this will primarily effect the locations in blue. however, this new system will allow us to expand the sf park, pricing model, throughout the city, through the off street, facilities. and what is parks? it is not exciting as some of the on street policy and it is not as exciting as some of the neighborhood planning that we have been doing, but it is a necessary part of what we do and protects the agencies and the city's revenues, hardware and software, and gates and computers, and familiintercoms e life span is usually 7 to 10 years, some was installed as late 90s most in the early, 2000s and not produced and it is no the supported. the benefit of the new parks for the consumers are numerous, however, it will really allow the secure payments in providing increased payment options for customers. benefits of the new park for the city, and our parking operators, are really real time reporting, auditing big data, analytics and a global view, with the cds, or the central monitoring station, we will have all of the data and be able to come back in real time to get a view and make the decisions based on data. a few of our central monitoring stations. we have already begun some of the work. we have already started installing some of the fiber optic cabling throughout the streets. and we have initiated the designs for the facilities for accepting the equipment. and we have executed with the rec park who is our partner and the department of technology. and our public works division. if you choose to support this contract, the next step will be to actually schedule to be at the board of supervisors next week. and then to issue an ntp with skidata to kick off the install. >> projected time line, is about 33 months, starting in may. and the end of the warranty period will end in 2029. happy to answer any questions, or concerns that you may have at this time. >> you supervisor tang? >> thank you. so i saw on the budget analyst report the list of the garages. and i was just curious as to how you went about selecting the order for the installation. >> sure. we started with a couple of the smaller facilities it is a large project. this is one of the largest projects in the history of parking equipment, as i know in north america. so there is a process in vetting this out. the equipment and there is always a learning curve and we want to make sure that everybody is happy with the new system. there will be lpr in these garages. and as we are going through the construction phase. and it will effect the ins and out of the traffic. so we are starting the smaller and rolling out the larger. and we have the flex in the contract to move the facilities around in that order but we will try to stick that time line as best as possible. >> so my other question that i think that this probably answers why, i was going to ask, why it was going to take the course of 3 fiscal years to install the equipment, but i am guessing that you want to make sure that you are not impacting the flow of traffic in each of the gaurgz. >> correct. >> and then you mentioned that the typical life span of the equipment is about seven to ten years, is that going to be about the same for this new equipment that we are going to be installing as well? >> that is correct. we have negotiated the preventive maintenance contract, as part of this and so we are hoping to squeeze it, it is typically seven to sen years. >> that should be it for now. >> supervisor yee? >> so, this 19 million is this a -- is this a one time only? >> correct. yeah, it is staggered out and so that includes the hardware and that will be retained software, that will be retained as well as a preventive maintenance and warranty period. >> so in regards to the 94 million that is generated, and verses the 27 in net, it is not going to impact that much is it? >> we are hope thag it will actually increase the revenue with the new equipment. it will be able to actually expand our validation programs and be much easier for customers to use and it will be much quicker. we will have better customer service through the central monitoring station and intercom system. so we are hoping to see an impact or a positive impact. >> okay, thank you. >> okay, colleagues any further questions? >> mr. rose, could we go to your report, please? >> yes, mr. chairman. and members of the committee on page 3 of our report, we report that under the proposed contract, skidata will begin to deliver the parking access and revenue control system equipment to the sfmta beginning with the capitol monitoring station and then in fiscal year, 15/16, they will deliver and install that equipment in the central monitoring station, and then 22 parking facilities in the fiscal year of 15, 16, through year, 18/19, across of 13 million, and then in addition, provide warranties and mant nens in 18/19, through 27/28, at 6 million, and so we have total contract cost as has been mentioned of 19 million and that is over the 13 year and that is shown in table one on page 3 of our report. we also note at the bottom of page 3, that the table two on page 4, shows the budget for installation of the equipment. and again that is the $19 million. since the sfmta it is our understanding that the board of directors has now approved the contract that was not done as of the writing of our report we recommend that you approve this legislation. >> okay. thank you very much. mr. rose, colleagues any questions?

>> this item is a ten-year, lease. and it has three, five-year renewal options and so assuming that the renewals are approved that takes care of this location, until may of 2041. i probably will not be back here for that renewal discussion. >> come on. >> well you never know. rent for the property, is set at 15.15 a square foot and it is an industrial gross rate and the city pays the expenses beyond that bait for the 9900 of improvements. increases are bracketed no less than 3 percent and month more than 5 percent per year. when we did a search with the assistance of both cdre and the calco company of the industrial properties in the area, rates ranged from 18.60, to 25-80, and again we are at 15.15. renewal rates are at 95 percent of fair market rent. with respect to the budget analyst recommended changes, we have no problems with those changes. we will revise the tenant improvement project cost to cap it at 2.7 million dollars. there is an additional 99,000 contribution from the landlord so it is actually 2.799. as the total delivery cost. and then with respect to the purchase opportunity should it arise, and that is how it is drafted if there is an opportunity, we have and we can pursue a purchase at this site. and we had anticipated that it would not happen any time soon. certainly, depending on chapter 23, amendments would likely be processed by the board. >> which dictate the appraisal requirements and so the an advertisetation an advertisetation that it would be raised. and so again, colleagues at the puc and wubl works here to answer any questions that you might have, otherwise i will handle in any lease questions that you have. >> supervisor tang, thank you. so just a question, so the puc will be occupying 2099 kearny indefinitely. >> that is correct for the new project. >> and then you mentioned earlier in your statement about kind of the nexus between why this particular arrangement would work out for both departments could you elaborate on that? >> puc can speak to their plans and you will sort of understand why the material testing lab is not a fit in those plans. >> good morning, i am from sfpuc. and i am aa senior project manager there. this is one of our critical sources for the upgrade project and this existing pump station is 36 years old, with aging and electrical and mechanical systems. the existing pump station, treats about 150 million gallons a day in the wet weather and the new pump station will allow us to maintain the compartment compliance, and the delaying this project is upstream, flooding, and so we need to, we need to meet our level of service goals, that were endorsed by our commission and so this is the project for us to build. and we add in the design phase and we anticipate to start the construction in 2017 on this site. do you have any questions, i am happy to answer. >> supervisor yee? >> what are you designing the new pump station to handle? >> we are adding design page at 35 percent design. we will be completing our design, early next quarter of 2017. put it out for bid. and then start construction later that year. >> let me rephrase the question. the existing station, pumps about 160,000. >> no 150 million. >> what would the new one?
