there was no way the t line could serve an additional 20,000. i looked into it a lot further and saw the report that-did about the different ways that transit is operated in the city for poor people as opposed to things like that twitter bus. it would have directly from caltrans. i guess the bart airport connector case is that you can't favor high income, more desirable customers. over low income. that's what our california environmental justice law specifically prohibits. so, this plan doesn't address the fact that the t line regina. >> next speaker, please. >>other today we did provide public comment. in support of the project. when the war is first announced its intent to build a new event center mixed-use development in mission bay we began to take a hard look at how such a development would impact our mission bay campus in particular attention to a new hospital which serves women and children and cancer patients. as we study the project are concerns quickly focused on traffic impacts and specifically to the impact that event center would have on these hospitals for emergency vehicles, patients, and families as well as the more than 3000 employees work at those hospitals. in analyzing the project we focus on traffic though degenerating during period when event center be hosting a large week a evening non-basketball events. at the same time that the giants are in town playing at home. we looked at these particular circumstances which could bring up to 60,000 people into the neighborhood because we identify that is likely having the most impact on her patients and employees trying to get to the hospital. during this time our chancellor publicly announced wildlife support for the plan pending an agreement with the city a few weeks ago were happy to announce we reach that agreement. i want to the plan were discussed today including local hospital access plan. so, all these things together brings us a high degree of confidence that the level of traffic monitoring and management is sufficient, more than sufficient, to ensure the people that need to get to our hospital will be a will to do so and for those reasons who supported the project any items before you. we encourage your support. >>my name is [inaudible] mission nylons. about with me a letter per pair by my colleague pat-separate e-mails. apologize for not having enough for each members of the board. but to highlight a couple of portions of this love. the first point i want to raise is that the failure to include a chance petition management plan transit service plan within ceqa i'm sorry-within the final eir is a failure to comply with ceqa. this not just a technical foul. the failure to analyze its feasibility and efficacy and particularly the disability inefficacy alternatives means that the final eir is inadequate. the second point of it to raise is that the fair share fee obligation that are contained in the project have not been adequately analyzed under ceqa. specifically, the decision in the anderson first coalition requires that the plan be enforceable in the payment for the hall mitigation measures be assured and proceed to enforceable mechanism. there is no such mechanism here. i should say more than half of the financing is to come from the city budget and in fact the staff has fair for the sfmta concedes this point. the final thing i want to bring up today is that in financing several very significant transportation improvement there is a public subsidy for the developer. the government code there is a public subsidy for the developer. the government code section 53083 this body is required to do to follow the careful substantive regulations including carefully studied those thing. and having a public hearing on that issue. take your time >> next speaker, please. >> last speaker is tom whitby >> thereafter. >> gotten my name is tom libby also present the missionary alliance. i want to speak you enroll as responsible agency. without your approval of matters before you the project does not happen. so you do have an important role in the process here. it's not just that you're adding on value which a lot of us speakers were referring to the transportation fund is been important value-added feature. so question the project is going to happen and that is a value-added feature, but the question is whether the project should go forward in your findings under ceqa have to meet the apartments of law. i would encourage you to look at the ceqa comments submitted yesterday and today by the legal team from mission bay alliance. a lot of developers the abolition impacts are vented to be significant in the eir. the mitigation for that semester by the bay area quality of the was of funding amount providedfor the offset. it turns out the bay area air quality management district says that's not enough. does not set forth in the eir based on that license amendment back into the cost into the cost about $600,000 and right of the city in the project sponsor agree to that sort of moment is no basis to find that that impact is likely significant at your findings they are asked to approve today say those impacts are less than significant but the evidentiary basis for that finding is now gone. as a letter dated yesterday from-mr. barajas made the argument is alternative offset option in addition monitoring program. but there's nothing in the record that would suggest alternative offset program is feasible. were attainable and therefore don't have the evidence to make these findings. >> anyone else? seeing none, members of the board, questions or comments? >> yes, we do have this come to policy and governance with some good discussions were very impressed with the work that has been done by mr. albert. one of the things that we talked about, it was the fact that during these special bands is a former colleague director minus people are willing to walk a lot further than they normally will in everyday life and director ramos put out a whopping as part of the event and we can see that with the improvement the bicycle romberg and get a significant percentage of people coming on foot, bicycle which i think is going to be great. one thing i neglected to ask a policy and government is the point brought up by the gentleman of the speakers back about what does this bring to the bayview hunters point. mr. albert, you just go into that a little bit because i want to make sure that we acknowledge and talk about how this project and how these transportation prevents concert of flow-through towards those neighborhoods. >> thank you. peter albert mta. the question treated back to make sure i'm getting correctly will be the benefit this project might extend to the bayview. the one lesson we learned from how at&t park luncheon was the impact on the whole light rail line for special been happening at at&t park. so, while we used all the extra capacity and reliability that went to the central subway plan including the two-car trains the shoreline, we do want to compromise all those investments having a large event on site. so by building the passover tracks by adding the four streetcars will be done is we let the baseline remained the baseline demand the special been. it's to the extra capacity the shuttles add value to anybody living in the area. see my be in.patch started going to the warriors. the goods arrive all those extra vent service to that part of the city. don't extend all down to probably that cesar chavez and mr. ambitious walker, but the point of that is making sure that we don't have a negative impact on the quality of service is a big part of our civil service investment.project we cannot talk about but we have talked about in a narrative environmental document is the ferry service by the waterfront. it's not in the eir because it is something we analyzed the survey has been in impetus with and working with-looking at of it terminal at 16th and the water. if that feasibility also shows that it's a feasible project, the ferry operator is one to do that we know that already the warriors and the-x restaurants but i can see everybody the ballpark michigan transportation loves it. that gives additional multimodal access to the whole southern one commit messages people the chance please be transit asked. that is reliant upon. so the benefits of this conversation about the worst extend well beyond week utilizing the eir in show the party-the coalition of people working together as looking-leveraging this project to but so much more transit investment that would otherwise know. >> thank you. >> can i add to that cleat isn't any time they come into a service change we doing equity analysis because of our funding anyway. >> title vi. >> right. it seems it would cover us, to cleat >> title vi analysis is by this but that's what one of the database on because it's not an impact on service. >> living also the addition with the central subway actually helps the joneses how long it takes you the shortcut on the t line that'll help about. i think this is an innovative project in the transportation demand management all the different topics you taken i think is really to be commended to think about this. they were so fortunate we learned a lot from the giant and actually think traffic congestion is a lot better to love other cities who have downtown stadiums because of how well we've got it down with the trains and a few people to drives. as a concert. recent trends have extra parking lot is not highly utilized. i really commend you for taking all those things through. respect of the speakers who came out and been a part of this post. broken hospital honestly is very very critical making sure we improve transportation improvement botches the short-term but the long-term happiness fund and having that advisory group that can help way into a sure course should things not be working well makes a lot of sense. but these are really great development for the city is the just addition we improved exponentially in this area. as a consequence so think of a much for your work on this. >> if i may, or elaborate on those comments because i get some basher mentioned earlier. a lot of the just addition investment that came out in this warriors project came from a much bigger overview of the whole waterfront was conducted by this agency over the last three years. so we want to make sure we were not doing transportation planning project to project that we knew the big picture deficiency in johnson. social just was a big part of his earlier presentation waterfront has rotation assessments. i can tell you about his work on the worst project took an element of that assessment and understood transportation and whole waterfront region better because of that. we understand the need for pedestrian safety is to bicycle capacity in bayview, all those were helping us make sure we were not making a mistake, solving thinking moves over the production creating new problems. by looking at that bigger waterfront issue. >> thank you. again, mr. albert and mr. van water, this is been really exciting and happy to support it. just a couple of questions to clarify. we come in the recognitions from the cac was a concern that pco's upc was would need to be hired. maybe if you could talk a little bit more about how getting all those little stars staffed with pco's on a map won't drain from the rest of the city's resources? >> thank you productive. i appreciate the feedback from the cac. what are represented was a commitment from the mta would make all the difference in making sure this plan works. i can tell you that when the great challenges that mta is making sure we have the resources to offer the service we have to provide. if the funding is the there's two issues that become the challenge in accommodating that service. funding and time. we have done between now and 2010 to make sure your plan that works. begun that to the extent that believe feasible and credible we developed a plan that anticipates the chance petition challenges and offer solutions. funding strategy along with that allows us to create a hiring plan in advance of the opening event that shows where the liability when others x number of these events. i may go back to this dying. this is so helpful. you can really-if the computer can go back to the image in the screen? think you can or supply transportation or understood by the discharge either spending too much money in a transportation plan is not a vision or not spent enough and great problems. having the predictability of scheduling and linking that with the giants in understanding the needs of the hospital in mission bay help us we to hiring plan that knows when those dual events are estimates what the size are use real-time information and marketing make sure we get people the right modes and honor their willingness to work with our most by offering the extra transit service in the pco's. to involve ingredients for hiring plan plus the time plus the resource. >> thank you so much that it agrees your other questions the you entertained from me and dr. brinkman and council member rubke. one last thing i been thinking about that conversation was the opportunity for people to purchase parking spaces when they buy their ticket for those auxiliary lots so that there will be a set amount of people trying to ask is those lots knowing that the weather can be will get in there is by way of a pre-purchased parking pass if you will. is that something you're factoring in to the equation of making this work? >> we have been working with the strategic real-time parking of information recording what is make sure this survey so we minimize the amount of drive around for parking. the others by using the geography of the ticket holders will not be will to intercept the parking locations at the corrected if you come out from the south, ebd ideal client for the parking lots that are south of the ring. you're coming from the north was a lot of parking garages suck the market you park there and walk the quarter-mile. so there's two levels of technology that we would use. one is to get that to install certainty in knowing we are parking is an and second would be the geographic interception. >> ibb review helpful "know in advance that they've got a spot so that drive around looking for one. it seems likely that the technology and the ability to be will to do that it be wonderful to be will to tap into that. >> just to add to what peter has mentioned, where the unique advantages we have is a captive audience. unlike fourth of july new year's eve where people come from all over the region without a ticket they come from all different modes with to estimate the people are coming in from what area. here we have a point-of-sale where people are purchasing them. we often know what zip code their origin is coming from. we have them mitigation measure in the document that has that warriors committed to developing mobile apps and technology that as you purchase the ticket will know how to get there on transit. you know how to get there with vice chair. enough to get there with rideshare services or taxi. if you are driving, you can pre-reserve that parking space. there's limited parking on-site there's numerous parking garages available to the public offstreet within walking distance they come to lease arrangements with those operators. so they know directly where to go. we deftly want to avoid the circling affect people coming in. all park across the street without any premade reservation. >> what ends up happening when folks can find parking in the lot with a plan on parking they end up parking in the neighborhood. then the neighbors have a hard time. payday and up-anyway that was in around the coliseum or those kinds of places is causally having to do with overflow parking interfering with their regular routines. so, i think it be great if people could know in advance whether or not there will be parking and if not they should know this one technology about using only useful today my fiancée. we got a lot of concern about gps services. an outsider. allows people to find shortcuts to place. but don't acknowledge all the protections try to build in for quality-of-life. so we do know that we have to work very closely with these providers to make sure they're not short-circuiting all the good work. that's very much part of our plan >> great work. they do so much. >> first of all, i just want to reinforce what came out to the presentation that we started this process with some principles in mind that really came from the mayor that we not only work city government with the committee stakeholders to get the transportation right for the project which i think you can see things to the great work of peter and a lot of other folks have done that we been able to do a complex but very innovative and i think what we believe will be a very effective way but also in a way that makes it work for the other stakeholders in the area. the neighbors, the residence, the hospitals the rest of the community and the jason committee i think we've achieved that. i just want to one pencil the other principle and this is really my principal was that we do so without creating any adverse impact to the mtas operating or capital budgets.. and that we do so in a way that has a transportation plan that minimizes any adverse impact to do anybody who is not trying to do to our from an early event. i think our transportation plan has been able us to do that. i do want knowledge again the work of peter and a lot of other folks in the agency within office of economic workforce development, oci, city planning city attorney's office working with the may stakeholders some as you heard from today and we really develop this plan with those stakeholders where we ended up is different where we started and were much better for it. to go through the process the were able to work through with the committed. i just wanted knowledge was a tremendous precedent work on that. there were a few technical regal issues that were raised during public on so i want to invite staff up to clarify those points before you consider a motion. >> thank you i want to respond to couple the points raised by counsel for the mission bay alliance.first there was a comment that the transportation management was not included in eir and should have been. that's not correct. presentation management is included and volume 3 of the eir and extensive discussion and analysis of the tnt and transportation analysis for the er. i'm also the tnt is enforceable to the medication monitoring and reporting program is before you for adoption. but i also wanted to speak to remarks made about the air quality offset measure. in my previous i mention we had made provisions that mitigation measure, change the requirement of the mitigation offset to $18,030 per weighted time from not to exceed to not less than. so that is no longer a ceiling but a floor. the survey room for continued negotiation with the air district over the amount of the offset fee but also wanted to mention, as they did at the yard certification. that's any department staff and quality technical experts have been in discussion with the air district suitable for publication of the draft er by this mitigation measure about what is appropriate mount the offset fee. we elected, after those discussions, to base the fee on the cost-effectiveness criteria developed by the california air resources board for what is known as the-program a state program that is used to fund offset projects. that's a maximum amount that the state will grant for or award for the fund offset projects. based on the state determination that offset projects that cost more than that amount per weight ton amount of cost effective. it's on that basis primarily that we determined were we decided that was an appropriate amount of the fee and that meets the requirements ceqa requirements that mitigation especially mitigation directly proportional to the impact that there mitigating. that said, the mitigation measure provides for further discussion with the air district and we intend to continue that discussion as we would like to reach a final agreement with the district around a workable offset mitigation measure we can apply both to the district as well as future projects. we've never done this before good we think is very promising innovation measure. we also modified the mitigation measure because of ongoing discussions and or the other so far over the amount to add a second option to that mitigation measure. that second option would allow project sponsor to directly fund and offset project by then enter into an agreement with the air district. we know that's feasible because we didn't that for america's cup. the americans cup eir the ports installed a offshore power or not offshore, a shoreside power facility which allows ships to come into the ports drydock facility to connect to grid power and shut down their engines. which made a significant missions reduction in air quality benefit. the project has been implement it everything based on that model there are other offset projects that could be implemented in san francisco. finally, on a point consular mission bay alliance stated incorrectly that on the basis that mitigation measure the eir and ceqa findings that are before you for adoption conclude that the impact related to the mission of ozone precursors is less than significant level. that is incorrect. is this is a new approach for the city but for the one time it america's cup, we conservatively in the eir found that impact to be significant and unavoidable with mitigation. we do that in a case where we've identified mitigation for significant impact but there is some uncertainty about the ability to mitigate the impact that's less than significant. >> board? >> may i ask one more question. thanks much for clearing that up. i appreciate that. one of the members of the public mentions-alluded to it. i want to follow. as a ballpark on mission bay the chance edition committee that's in doing all that work in terms of the transportation issues in the neighborhood. so, i assume or hope based on the eir lovesick summary from this project will sit on that committee now. is that right clean worksite was one the mitigation measures. but then also i want a little bit more clarity on how that advisory committee for the transportation fund tie into that committee and also just the overall for moving of the transportation mitigation? >> adamant market averages a comment. we were speaking in the hallway earlier today about this very topic. making a formal connection between the two. the ballpark mission bay and transportation coronation committee existed since the solution of at&t park at the channel. it is really become a pretty strong form of interdisciplinary discussion between the various city departments, police, fire, through mta and dpw and others. this interest in mission bay. the giants, the neighborhood the residence the commercial interests etc. god places in our eir where the committee is referenced anders requirements for the worst present information in terms of events notification like large special beds but having a formal seat on the committee. the visor he committee of the mission bay chance edition improvement fund is the five-member seat. we want to give it a little smaller than the ballpark transportation coronation committee which is a regular attendance and more like 20-25 member area and we wanted this to be a focus on pinch points where pco's could alleviate congestion or specific headways that can be reduced to serve the arena and the neighborhood. we set those up nothing to do with an event at the arena can bypass the area still get to where they need to go. we fully agree with the comments and we actually talked about setting a meeting this week so we can make a formal connection. whether that's having membership that transcends both the bridge so represent from the warriors on the present committee is also on the ballpark committee and from ucsf and for indoor from the residence and/or from commercial. so we decimate the coronation of arm and funding him are in lockstep together. >> thank you. >> members of the board russians or thoughts? >> i think the board will need to take some action to incorporate the changes to the mmr p into the action you're going to take. the city attorney is figure out the mechanism to do that. >> great. >> directors, mr. chairman, the bison board should modify the enclosure to the resolution to incorporate the changes to the mmr p the staff read into the record. >> an amendment or something? >> one moment. >>so, directors, a motion to amend your resolution we would at a resolve clause, whereas the sfmta board of directors shall modify the enclosures to the resolution this item to incorporate the changes to the mrp staff read into the record. >> motion? >> second >> all those in favor say, aye. opposed, nay. the aye habit. >> motion to approve all those in favor say, aye. opposed, nay. the aye habit. >> the attorney-client privilege. >> motion >> all those in favor say, aye. >>[recess] >> the mta met in closed session. directors voted to settle the case. was no discussion. directors, recover from ocean to disclose or not disclose the information >> not disclose >> all those in favor say, aye. opposed, nay. the aye. we are joined. >>[gavel] - good morning hello hold on one second. >> tap the front. >> yeah. testing testing good morning good morning and welcome to the commission on aging & adult services meeting we're going to call the we have the roll call? >> commissioner president james commissioner serlina is

that's right it says that are here but a quiz for you today agnes carries and bilingual be case load and because of that because you have bilingual capacities is often tasked with serving folks who need you're special skills actually of being able to speak to the language folks and sort things out in multiple because a person needs to what you're working with someone that comes from another place; right? another culture it also says in the write up about you because you have officer of the day duties because of your bilingual talents useless frequently called out several times at a time and opposed to twice a lot more work and folks to be sgrak with and doing our best for just to remind us all department of aging & adult services is part of our protection services in that division we really tasked with making sure that people have all the rights and all the privileges that they have coming to them as an adult but looking at and investigating to determine if others are that take advantage if they have self-neglect issues and trying to pull those two things together for those of us who know that world only two well, this is a difficult job how not to tread on someone's rights

commissioners know this is my last commission meeting i'll be in d.c. in the first week in december doing some work for our local triple a our state association and for ann frank so i have a regular report to give but i wanted to say and few words before the normal report this is just to say it's been a credible pleasure to serve this community of older adults with disabilities a tremendous privilege for the commission and hopefully speak to those who were not here he was thinking about all the commission does and our dedication i think to fairness and our dedication to making sure that we serve our very diverse community and that our providers are as diverse as the community we provide services for and any number of critical questions have been asked in 2, 3, 4 meeting made us a community of people going and taking stock of what we're doing and how we're doing it is there another way to do it sometimes questions are we like commission to go - i've always said that if we've done our jobs well, that commission will be smooth but sometimes those critical questions questions can be i don't want to say annoying but catch up in the wrong place one day is r one way or another it makes us what we or so many people outside of our community work in san francisco all think and i like and we're this and that but we debate issues here and have a little bit of a different philosophy to give assistance to those at this commission we've taken our time and looked at it issues thoroughly the staff i think sporlts for this commission has been really unfailing so whether it is contracts or budget or program staff you had a team of people that have been the best i've had folks at events come up to me and say you think that team of people it gives stuff to our commission i don't know anyone that hadn't gotten an answer our team of people move faster mann than several departments will go unnamed that is really because people take their jobs very, very seriously and want to bring you the best information and be able to answer the questions you present and they want to have is followed the rules that are important to follow and at the same time use you know innovation and be creative as they can be and have that opportunity in some places and less in other places i want to say to the staff that is here today, it's been a tremendous opportunity to work with you and to see where we've come in the 10 years ago i've been here and in the 12 years since this did not have been an integrated department we started up off with different programs with the office of aging at the core 33 and a lot of work has to go into bringing folks together to make a department function well and when people i remember the office on aging staff they did everything that he worked in a small department with responsibility for budget and contracting and budgeting and moved into a department there was a whole structure that was different i can't say enough about what sherry reign did to anyone who wishes to speak that work it didn't happen overnight with la jolla dedication and commitment and the knowledge it can be really good in the end have to work at it to get there is a obviously a big thank you to home share reign anyone asked me if i was overjoyed about leaving it is pretty amazing to be in this position and have the opportunities that dos has had in the 10 years i've been here that is even in the downturn when we had to struggle overtaking money from nutrition and frhere and there been a tremendous community and for people to come together and pull ideas and figure out the best way when we needed to cut back and exciting to have the second year $6 million came and we were able to flush out the programs for disabilities and create the community living fund it is credible this was a part times job i wouldn't leave but not a part-time job and time to go i know we're having a party in december i'm not sure the folks that are here won't be able to be here one last thing to say i think that is really kind of the truth of who this department and commission and those providers are in that what which our son died i had the good fortune to join a support group i was amazed a group of families that lost children adult children and i was the only one in the group that when i went back to work i didn't have the opportunity problems that everyone else had those problems ran the range of people saying insensitive things you need to get over it and on with that people avoiding other people and it goes on i can only share and reflect on the fact when i came back to work i came back to people that are gracious and so filled with concern and compassion so able to say what was on their hearts and say it to me i know we come to those commission meetings and give staff awards i tried to highlight what our staff does and that's part of what they do it is so not surprisingly it is when you have a big event in our life that is indicating tropic people like our surrounded with like me is so generous with themselves i this is an all of you for the privilege i've had to be here it's a tremendous honor and now we'll get on with the regular so it is so cool yesterday in my e-mail a operation from the president of the united states i've never gotten an operation proclamation this is because of being in a conference i have no idea this was a plantation to announce that november is alzheimer's month you know, i just learned yesterday that the team dos which we created raised almost $30,000 in the walk so - >> proud of us (clapping.) you and tom being the leaders so the goals last year, we raised 15 or 16 thousand the goal this year was 20 and we got 29 thousand plus close to thirty that was great in proclamation come across any desk i'll share it we didn't just draw the attention i'll try to read it i've never seen that bear with me it says at the ends avenue all the hero to see and witness where of i have here into set this hand this 2 eight day of other of the independence of the united states the hundred and 40 the other couple i have things to mention i because i'm on the national association of aging board of directors have been invited to gay long retreat in colorado for the lgbt elderly it having kathy greenly from the administration of community living and they'll be attending a two-day event to look at strategies that address this particular population crossing across the country of what people are doing in different place to people shouldn't be surprised i make contact with you before i want to make sure i come with all i possible can to this meeting in early october the national village association of villages jacqueline is that right. >> village to village had hair conference in seattle and vac listen from the next vinyl and ata ate e kate from the san francisco vinyl and i assembly david chiu presented this conference on the work that san francisco has done in terms of the funding for the vinyl and the why david sorry chiu did a terrific set up for the whole community around why village work is so important and what it means for san francisco and why he and another supervisor got involved and we did our 1, 2, 3 on both what we were doing locally and the changes what it maples to have government money the kinds of things people has an opportunity had government funding before this is different from the membership i thought that was an interesting meeting met folks from all over the country and the focus on middle-income class people someone said so well at the scan conference last week with the huge population of boomers coming out the next and the fact that there is no agnes saying people purchasing long term care people don't have assess there is a concern as the boomers may spend down they'll join the folks in the medi-cal system at some point that system will exploded because of villages in san francisco that opportunity to look at what are the other things that can be done in this area that didn't cost as much money but serves a lot of folks it was an interesting conference and had a lot of opportunity to talk about what's been going on. >> and then just to scluk you've probably been seeing a lot of information in the paper about the variance women issues on the ballots i think i recorded here a few months ago the california association of aging has decided that it is throwing it's hat into the ring with one of the initiatives and having been looking to have a portion of the tax dollars go to programs that serve younger and older adults that work is moving forward we know there are 4 different initiatives and the variance initiatives are working together to see if they can't get that down to one as we saw in ohio or wherever voted down i heard on the news last night that vote was 67 people being able to control the growth and you know anything that will happen in that state relate to marijuana the same thing for children's rights a lot of things to look at in terms of product development and taxed what will be and won't be allowed it's not there yet we're seniors and the disabilities are part of the potential - there's a potential for revenue streams to come from that work that is exciting frankly no new money in years. >> i think that's all i have for my report. >> thank you. >> just briefly executive director just

report. >> thank you. >> okay. next h program performance on the seniors and young adults with sdalts disability bryan. >> good morning, commissioners and others i'm the program analyst a give you a little bit of background at the april 2015 commission the commission approved a new contract for funding for a new type of program a housing subsidy project programming to be administrative code by the q known as aids housing alliance this was identified seniors with disabilities a doctor in income and without this program would be evicted through the use of a housing subsidy payment to help with rent the idea of eviction is prevented and younger adults are stabilized and kept in their housing, of course, the participates in this program go to rigorous extensive ongoing participation in the program as i mentioned this was new to dos and the commission at that time that was presented the commissions ask for an update as the program was upcoming so today i've asked bryan to come in and talk to the commission on an update how the program is going with that said, is bryan here. >> hello commissioners, thank you for having us back it is gone by really quickly for or you're here again all right. so i want to give you an update on the process we're making we're fully enrolled in a subsidy program and - there we go. >> so here you'll see the age distribution for the people that we've enrolled in the program we range from 25 years old to 97 is our oldest enroll yes. we've got one 90 years old and that is gratifying our largest group is 50 to 59 let's see - the gender breakdown is 26 female and 66 percent meal and 8 percent transgender that is equally distributed between male to female and female to male transgender. >> race wear 23 percent african-american, 61 percent caucasian, 10 percent first nation and 10 percent asian pacific islanders and under ethnicity 10 percent hispanic latino and 90 percent not hispanic latino. >> the subsidy range is as low as 200 and $46 and the maximum amount is $1,200 with the average which when i modeled it out 8 hundred bucks we're getting close. >> our average rent is one thousand $34 with the average income of enreels $893 our ratio is one hundred and 8 percent the average person their rent exceeded their income and without that that subsidy they would have lost their housing we had a pilot working with the mayor's office of housing and community development to help identify certificate of preference holders or ellis act evictions counselors who have been unable to execute their excuse me. their preferences they lack sufficient income so 11 percent of the people we enrolled in the subsidy are certificate of preference holders or local eviction i'm grateful a family for preference for a certificate of preference holder for 40 or 50 years and finally be able to change the way we distribute access to rental assistance in the city so that we really, time it with access to housing what we have a system that is broken that if you have a section 8 certify be on the list you're on the list for 15 or 17 years you get our subsidy and no housing in the market to execute it if or so the only option to apply more affordable housing so you sit on a wait list for years and then loss the subsidy by the time the income it up the system is broken this is a way to look at creative ways to see the systems coordinated better it seems to be working. >> and then we'll have a total of 13 agrees enrolling into the subsidys we've built an online portal when someone comes to them their log in and do the referral the screening and referral right there they scan the proof of income and the documents and just drag and drop it into the portal we contact those people and set up the in take and enroll them we've enroll people in as little as twenty-four hours that seems to be working. >> that is the highlights any questions. >> yes. i have one question what about more or less the disabled that may have children. >> there are no restrictions. >> are there restrictions on that. >> no, no we don't have a restriction against children in the home for those subsidies overwhelmingly we're talking about simple adults. >> most of single adults but no restrictions if they have children. >> not at all. >> any other questions? >> okay thank you. >> thank you, commissioners. >> thank you. >> we got a couple of our participants that want to come up and say hi. >> i'm unprepared but hi, good morning i've been a resident of san francisco since 198 percent 2 before any life was stable and then became unstable my rent is one thousand $55 a month i can't go to have a cup of coffee mr. bryan i met and during this i was thinking of ending my life this is the way that seniors were going to be but those things stopped after i met him they've subsidize my rent and now thinking of ending my life i have not thank you. >> to bryan. >> thank you for sharing. >> i'm david not a very good public speaker i'm 59 i have a severe case of p t s d from a child abuse survivor i'm west portal enough to work part time in freelance but not because of the p t s d comes and goes and shows up at any moment from the subsidy from aids housing i live comfortably with food on the table with my part time income and if that weren't for aids housing i don't know might be on some island somewhere i want other people to have what i have not live observe the streets with and choosing within their rents and food they should have what i have we should take care of more people. >> thank you. >> is there any other business at this time new business for discussion only correlation presentation sandra i didn't moore thank you. >> now. >> good morning commission and ann and at this time i want to thank ann pubically for her blifrp being the head of our department thank you, ann we'll miss you i'm here commissioners to give you an overview of the dignity fund cooperation that is a coalition of nonprofit and representatives from the ada field and the younger disability aging field it came together to look at this issue what is golden going on in san francisco san francisco has the largest population of seniors in any city in california they together with those over 18-years old with disability comprise 25 percent of san francisco's current residence those 200 thousand residents represent a difference immunities of people a rich mixture of ethnicity and gender and sexual orientation whether loshlth residents they've help to build this city with culture and history nearly 2/3rd's of older residents lack the basic o basic economic security that displace will continue to grow because the elaborately cost of living and the growing number of seniors and adults with sdablths needing look at of pope hope to stay in their homes the dignity fund coalition was put together to look at this to help seniors and adults with disabilities to get support in a larger way than we have been in the last few years we did we are in discussion this is a work in process commissioners so this will be we'll come back to you give you an update where this is going going but the goal to come up with a ballot initiative for november of 2016 and this will be a charter amendment the chapter amendment requires 50 percent because one of the voters to support and this the question that was put in a poll we took we did a poll prior to coming to this ascertainment and that poll showed that over 69 to 74 percent of people registered voters will support of the concept of setting aside 2 percent of property tax to be allocated toward senior services and services for adults with disabilities as you may know this concept of set aside is controversial because most elected officials do not support the idea of taking away the authority of the budget of the particular city and so with this particular concept we've been going to the different supervisors we have 5 supervisors who are supportive of this concept we would like our goal to get 11 supervisors to support the concept and the mayor is supporting this concept we're talking with the mayor's representatives in the department that represent the department of aging & adult services about this whole direction and so we have a lot of work to do ahead a lot of community organizes at the grassroots level as you may know this is a because it is a ballot initiative it takes - it is the issue of getting the voters to support it so i wanted to also let you know that this particular fund would support funding for community-based long term services this is not include institutional care serves as laguna honda or san francisco general hospital many of the advocates of aging & adult services for over 25 years has been pushing the concept of community-based care and having people age in place in our homes and part-time and neighborhoods as long as possible without institutionalized so serves as home and community long term support and food and nutrition and consumer and caregiver education and empowerment self-advocacy and legal services program and health and wellness and the targeted services and support and new areas such as alzheimer's care, respite care and caregiver support so those are some of the categories that would be included in the funding from this dignity fund and the other aspect i wanted to direct your attention is that in terms of the relationship to you as commissioners you as a commission would therefore because the funds go through our department therefore our commission would be overseeing that fund at the same time, we're recommending what we call a governance and overview committee that is appointees from the mayor and the board of supervisors to also oversee this implementation of the fund and administration of the fund as i mentioned this fund b will go introduce the department of aging & adult services therefore your budget b will increase quite a bit f if in place today, the fiscal year 2018 we would have added $29 million to your base budget to give you an idea so that as i said is a major policy direction for the city and county of san francisco and we will continue to give you update as we continue to organize towards this if you have any questions i'll be happy to to try to answer them. >> not at this time it is a major policy change and we need to look at make sure we are in touch with all parts of community community because it - people are concerned about the tax praishg and what have you. >> commissioners this is no new tax it is setting aside 2 percent of partitioning that come in every year. >> oh. >> to set aside 4 funding for seniors and adults with disabilities. >> you're right commission. >> you were talking about all aspects the city because there are part of our city who also have a stereotype of seniors that seniors are well-off and fine they don't need a lot of happen there's that prospective we have to do a lot of community awareness and a lot of outreach to go into every single neighborhood all the different advocacy groups right now we have 25 he different organizations that are supporting this concept and that's going to increase, of course, because we plan to add more and more as we go. >> thank you. >> any comments from - thank you very much. >> thank you. >> okay other new business we've removed the mayor's office of housing and community development and the demonstration programs has been removed we were down to announcements we're moving to the last page under announcements. >> are there any announcements at this time. >> any announcements hearing none public comment? any public comment? at this time? >> mississippi any public comment? hearing none can i have a motion? >> to adjourn. >> okay. we move we adjourn. >> thank you >> good morning, everyone welcome to the veterans academy here node presidio and i want to thank our veterans administration how you doing vets great to see you and we're here to rezoning confirm over commitment to the vets and thankfully for joined by address the commission up to three minutes. par offending and mark, thank you for joining me this presidio has and this site

little bit as our homeless are thank you to the staff in working closely with any office of housing and focus on vets i know that veterans day is around the corner we have more news was we rezoning confirm our commitment to end chronic homelessness and thank you to president obama and the first lady mrs. obama they've challenged many mayors across the country to make sure all us mayors do we we can to he said the homeless of vets we'll do that in san francisco i want to thank our source of hours sharing michael are you are a wonderful agency and working on homes for heros on office of the city administrator it's street and residential hostilities of hotels lying ever like the one on kearny center the that is yet again another great model today, weer identifying that we have about 200 and 70 homeless veterans we're going to houses by the end of the year and identifying housing unit but asking for more help we're going to be helping help from the federal government we need to make sure that those vouchers that our veterans get have the opportunity value that is reflective of the kinds of housing costs our vets are facing even though we have perhaps enough of those vouchers to go around they don't reflect the high cost of living that's why we're advocating with hud and the freshen to increase the value 0 so this bmsz a more valuable thing the other part to request we have a deeper commitment by the property owners in san francisco we have great people who have served our country that are having have possession of the voufrngz and need homes and apartments and place kept off the market we want to make sure that we ask a broad venue of landlord and property owners throughout the bay area to assist us in low income those units for our fine veterans this is what we're nourng today begins with the city's commitment address my commitment as a son of a vet he want san francisco make sure i honor my father and his service by honoring the vets and treat them as they're my own kin as well we can't do more and better by treating them well they've stated that for the country our role to make sure we honor them and not just housing in our city when we welcome in vets do it in a holistic way services that are invaluable and a lot of issues have arisen for the vets we've identified over time and want to provide them with good health services and good job plummet and training that's why our office in concert with our homes are create a jobs portfolio for the vets for one stop and working with the trustees like ac election ralph at city college to make a ask the next question to those who are returning and work with them as they get the training and jobs of the 21st century we want to be there with supportive community community-based organizations and all the training agencies have a spot for veterans to make sure their convenient and assessable and effective in giving job training to our vets ultimately i want to make sure our vets with work in the 15 destroys that are indicative of our success as a city health care a big economic driver why not and tourism and hotel industry and culinary worlds best we're hosting the super bowl 50 why not have the opportunity veterans in that tourism and making sure they're part with us and earner good job in the technology industry over the course vets can help that is what we're doing with tech sf recruiting veterans and young people to work together to make sure they have the job skills and we're creating in our city a administrative reviews segment that hopefully regrets the kind of commitment for look good men and women in the past this is making things with our hands and something we want to work request city college and the local legislators have a brewery and candy and crocks or my favorite ice cream i can make ice cream over the course i can make my favor one scoop for you two scoops for me in all the destroys we want our vets strained and ready and able we'll be advise our employers that you have a very great pit in picking a veteran for a job while advocate and make sure you have every chance of success ublt though that housing is one of the most important things that's why the question what a crisis in the city and make sure that out of this crisis we emphasis the needs for people who have already as far as i am concerned for our country that is getting homes for our veterans we have more to say than when it comes to veterans that are homeless we want to make sure that they're off our streets and on to warm housing that's why we're securing the are long term leases with our residential hotel but we want to take over the vabt vacant hotels and rezoning do them and rezoning wire and rezoning paint and have them with new facilities and alliances just like 250 kearny street expensive but worth it you should see the faces of those they'll not be proudly when in they're in the center of where everything is happening and get a lot of good contact right next door in the restaurant and in the industries that are downtown to get the jobs we want those are all the things we're doing we're also building new housing for the veterans how about new housing

there was no way the t line could serve an additional 20,000. i looked into it a lot further and saw the report that-did about the different ways that transit is operated in the city for poor people as opposed to things like that twitter bus. it would have directly from caltrans. i guess the bart airport connector case is that you can't favor high income, more desirable customers. over low income. that's what our california environmental justice law specifically prohibits. so, this plan doesn't address the fact that the t line regina. >> next speaker, please. >>other today we did provide public comment. in support of the project. when the war is first announced its intent to build a new event center mixed-use development in mission bay we began to take a hard look at how such a development would impact our mission bay campus in particular attention to a new hospital which serves women and children and cancer patients. as we study the project are concerns quickly focused on traffic impacts and specifically to the impact that event center would have on these hospitals for emergency vehicles, patients, and families as well as the more than 3000 employees work at those hospitals. in analyzing the project we focus on traffic though degenerating during period when event center be hosting a large week a evening non-basketball events. at the same time that the giants are in town playing at home. we looked at these particular circumstances which could bring up to 60,000 people into the neighborhood because we identify that is likely having the most impact on her patients and employees trying to get to the hospital. during this time our chancellor publicly announced wildlife support for the plan pending an agreement with the city a few weeks ago were happy to announce we reach that agreement. i want to the plan were discussed today including local hospital access plan. so, all these things together brings us a high degree of confidence that the level of traffic monitoring and management is sufficient, more than sufficient, to ensure the people that need to get to our hospital will be a will to do so and for those reasons who supported the project any items before you. we encourage your support. >>my name is [inaudible] mission nylons. about with me a letter per pair by my colleague pat-separate e-mails. apologize for not having enough for each members of the board. but to highlight a couple of portions of this love. the first point i want to raise is that the failure to include a chance petition management plan transit service plan within ceqa i'm sorry-within the final eir is a failure to comply with ceqa. this not just a technical foul. the failure to analyze its feasibility and efficacy and particularly the disability inefficacy alternatives means that the final eir is inadequate. the second point of it to raise is that the fair share fee obligation that are contained in the project have not been adequately analyzed under ceqa. specifically, the decision in the anderson first coalition requires that the plan be enforceable in the payment for the hall mitigation measures be assured and proceed to enforceable mechanism. there is no such mechanism here. i should say more than half of the financing is to come from the city budget and in fact the staff has fair for the sfmta concedes this point. the final thing i want to bring up today is that in financing several very significant transportation improvement there is a public subsidy for the developer. the government code there is a public subsidy for the developer. the government code section 53083 this body is required to do to follow the careful substantive regulations including carefully studied those thing. and having a public hearing on that issue. take your time >> next speaker, please. >> last speaker is tom whitby >> thereafter. >> gotten my name is tom libby also present the missionary alliance. i want to speak you enroll as responsible agency. without your approval of matters before you the project does not happen. so you do have an important role in the process here. it's not just that you're adding on value which a lot of us speakers were referring to the transportation fund is been important value-added feature. so question the project is going to happen and that is a value-added feature, but the question is whether the project should go forward in your findings under ceqa have to meet the apartments of law. i would encourage you to look at the ceqa comments submitted yesterday and today by the legal team from mission bay alliance. a lot of developers the abolition impacts are vented to be significant in the eir. the mitigation for that semester by the bay area quality of the was of funding amount providedfor the offset. it turns out the bay area air quality management district says that's not enough. does not set forth in the eir based on that license amendment back into the cost into the cost about $600,000 and right of the city in the project sponsor agree to that sort of moment is no basis to find that that impact is likely significant at your findings they are asked to approve today say those impacts are less than significant but the evidentiary basis for that finding is now gone. as a letter dated yesterday from-mr. barajas made the argument is alternative offset option in addition monitoring program. but there's nothing in the record that would suggest alternative offset program is feasible. were attainable and therefore don't have the evidence to make these findings. >> anyone else? seeing none, members of the board, questions or comments? >> yes, we do have this come to policy and governance with some good discussions were very impressed with the work that has been done by mr. albert. one of the things that we talked about, it was the fact that during these special bands is a former colleague director minus people are willing to walk a lot further than they normally will in everyday life and director ramos put out a whopping as part of the event and we can see that with the improvement the bicycle romberg and get a significant percentage of people coming on foot, bicycle which i think is going to be great. one thing i neglected to ask a policy and government is the point brought up by the gentleman of the speakers back about what does this bring to the bayview hunters point. mr. albert, you just go into that a little bit because i want to make sure that we acknowledge and talk about how this project and how these transportation prevents concert of flow-through towards those neighborhoods. >> thank you. peter albert mta. the question treated back to make sure i'm getting correctly will be the benefit this project might extend to the bayview. the one lesson we learned from how at&t park luncheon was the impact on the whole light rail line for special been happening at at&t park. so, while we used all the extra capacity and reliability that went to the central subway plan including the two-car trains the shoreline, we do want to compromise all those investments having a large event on site. so by building the passover tracks by adding the four streetcars will be done is we let the baseline remained the baseline demand the special been. it's to the extra capacity the shuttles add value to anybody living in the area. see my be in.patch started going to the warriors. the goods arrive all those extra vent service to that part of the city. don't extend all down to probably that cesar chavez and mr. ambitious walker, but the point of that is making sure that we don't have a negative impact on the quality of service is a big part of our civil service investment.project we cannot talk about but we have talked about in a narrative environmental document is the ferry service by the waterfront. it's not in the eir because it is something we analyzed the survey has been in impetus with and working with-looking at of it terminal at 16th and the water. if that feasibility also shows that it's a feasible project, the ferry operator is one to do that we know that already the warriors and the-x restaurants but i can see everybody the ballpark michigan transportation loves it. that gives additional multimodal access to the whole southern one commit messages people the chance please be transit asked. that is reliant upon. so the benefits of this conversation about the worst extend well beyond week utilizing the eir in show the party-the coalition of people working together as looking-leveraging this project to but so much more transit investment that would otherwise know. >> thank you. >> can i add to that cleat isn't any time they come into a service change we doing equity analysis because of our funding anyway. >> title vi. >> right. it seems it would cover us, to cleat >> title vi analysis is by this but that's what one of the database on because it's not an impact on service. >> living also the addition with the central subway actually helps the joneses how long it takes you the shortcut on the t line that'll help about. i think this is an innovative project in the transportation demand management all the different topics you taken i think is really to be commended to think about this. they were so fortunate we learned a lot from the giant and actually think traffic congestion is a lot better to love other cities who have downtown stadiums because of how well we've got it down with the trains and a few people to drives. as a concert. recent trends have extra parking lot is not highly utilized. i really commend you for taking all those things through. respect of the speakers who came out and been a part of this post. broken hospital honestly is very very critical making sure we improve transportation improvement botches the short-term but the long-term happiness fund and having that advisory group that can help way into a sure course should things not be working well makes a lot of sense. but these are really great development for the city is the just addition we improved exponentially in this area. as a consequence so think of a much for your work on this. >> if i may, or elaborate on those comments because i get some basher mentioned earlier. a lot of the just addition investment that came out in this warriors project came from a much bigger overview of the whole waterfront was conducted by this agency over the last three years. so we want to make sure we were not doing transportation planning project to project that we knew the big picture deficiency in johnson. social just was a big part of his earlier presentation waterfront has rotation assessments. i can tell you about his work on the worst project took an element of that assessment and understood transportation and whole waterfront region better because of that. we understand the need for pedestrian safety is to bicycle capacity in bayview, all those were helping us make sure we were not making a mistake, solving thinking moves over the production creating new problems. by looking at that bigger waterfront issue. >> thank you. again, mr. albert and mr. van water, this is been really exciting and happy to support it. just a couple of questions to clarify. we come in the recognitions from the cac was a concern that pco's upc was would need to be hired. maybe if you could talk a little bit more about how getting all those little stars staffed with pco's on a map won't drain from the rest of the city's resources? >> thank you productive. i appreciate the feedback from the cac. what are represented was a commitment from the mta would make all the difference in making sure this plan works. i can tell you that when the great challenges that mta is making sure we have the resources to offer the service we have to provide. if the funding is the there's two issues that become the challenge in accommodating that service. funding and time. we have done between now and 2010 to make sure your plan that works. begun that to the extent that believe feasible and credible we developed a plan that anticipates the chance petition challenges and offer solutions. funding strategy along with that allows us to create a hiring plan in advance of the opening event that shows where the liability when others x number of these events. i may go back to this dying. this is so helpful. you can really-if the computer can go back to the image in the screen? think you can or supply transportation or understood by the discharge either spending too much money in a transportation plan is not a vision or not spent enough and great problems. having the predictability of scheduling and linking that with the giants in understanding the needs of the hospital in mission bay help us we to hiring plan that knows when those dual events are estimates what the size are use real-time information and marketing make sure we get people the right modes and honor their willingness to work with our most by offering the extra transit service in the pco's. to involve ingredients for hiring plan plus the time plus the resource. >> thank you so much that it agrees your other questions the you entertained from me and dr. brinkman and council member rubke. one last thing i been thinking about that conversation was the opportunity for people to purchase parking spaces when they buy their ticket for those auxiliary lots so that there will be a set amount of people trying to ask is those lots knowing that the weather can be will get in there is by way of a pre-purchased parking pass if you will. is that something you're factoring in to the equation of making this work? >> we have been working with the strategic real-time parking of information recording what is make sure this survey so we minimize the amount of drive around for parking. the others by using the geography of the ticket holders will not be will to intercept the parking locations at the corrected if you come out from the south, ebd ideal client for the parking lots that are south of the ring. you're coming from the north was a lot of parking garages suck the market you park there and walk the quarter-mile. so there's two levels of technology that we would use. one is to get that to install certainty in knowing we are parking is an and second would be the geographic interception. >> ibb review helpful "know in advance that they've got a spot so that drive around looking for one. it seems likely that the technology and the ability to be will to do that it be wonderful to be will to tap into that. >> just to add to what peter has mentioned, where the unique advantages we have is a captive audience. unlike fourth of july new year's eve where people come from all over the region without a ticket they come from all different modes with to estimate the people are coming in from what area. here we have a point-of-sale where people are purchasing them. we often know what zip code their origin is coming from. we have them mitigation measure in the document that has that warriors committed to developing mobile apps and technology that as you purchase the ticket will know how to get there on transit. you know how to get there with vice chair. enough to get there with rideshare services or taxi. if you are driving, you can pre-reserve that parking space. there's limited parking on-site there's numerous parking garages available to the public offstreet within walking distance they come to lease arrangements with those operators. so they know directly where to go. we deftly want to avoid the circling affect people coming in. all park across the street without any premade reservation. >> what ends up happening when folks can find parking in the lot with a plan on parking they end up parking in the neighborhood. then the neighbors have a hard time. payday and up-anyway that was in around the coliseum or those kinds of places is causally having to do with overflow parking interfering with their regular routines. so, i think it be great if people could know in advance whether or not there will be parking and if not they should know this one technology about using only useful today my fiancée. we got a lot of concern about gps services. an outsider. allows people to find shortcuts to place. but don't acknowledge all the protections try to build in for quality-of-life. so we do know that we have to work very closely with these providers to make sure they're not short-circuiting all the good work. that's very much part of our plan >> great work. they do so much. >> first of all, i just want to reinforce what came out to the presentation that we started this process with some principles in mind that really came from the mayor that we not only work city government with the committee stakeholders to get the transportation right for the project which i think you can see things to the great work of peter and a lot of other folks have done that we been able to do a complex but very innovative and i think what we believe will be a very effective way but also in a way that makes it work for the other stakeholders in the area. the neighbors, the residence, the hospitals the rest of the community and the jason committee i think we've achieved that. i just want to one pencil the other principle and this is really my principal was that we do so without creating any adverse impact to the mtas operating or capital budgets.. and that we do so in a way that has a transportation plan that minimizes any adverse impact to do anybody who is not trying to do to our from an early event. i think our transportation plan has been able us to do that. i do want knowledge again the work of peter and a lot of other folks in the agency within office of economic workforce development, oci, city planning city attorney's office working with the may stakeholders some as you heard from today and we really develop this plan with those stakeholders where we ended up is different where we started and were much better for it. to go through the process the were able to work through with the committed. i just wanted knowledge was a tremendous precedent work on that. there were a few technical regal issues that were raised during public on so i want to invite staff up to clarify those points before you consider a motion. >> thank you i want to respond to couple the points raised by counsel for the mission bay alliance.first there was a comment that the transportation management was not included in eir and should have been. that's not correct. presentation management is included and volume 3 of the eir and extensive discussion and analysis of the tnt and transportation analysis for the er. i'm also the tnt is enforceable to the medication monitoring and reporting program is before you for adoption. but i also wanted to speak to remarks made about the air quality offset measure. in my previous i mention we had made provisions that mitigation measure, change the requirement of the mitigation offset to $18,030 per weighted time from not to exceed to not less than. so that is no longer a ceiling but a floor. the survey room for continued negotiation with the air district over the amount of the offset fee but also wanted to mention, as they did at the yard certification. that's any department staff and quality technical experts have been in discussion with the air district suitable for publication of the draft er by this mitigation measure about what is appropriate mount the offset fee. we elected, after those discussions, to base the fee on the cost-effectiveness criteria developed by the california air resources board for what is known as the-program a state program that is used to fund offset projects. that's a maximum amount that the state will grant for or award for the fund offset projects. based on the state determination that offset projects that cost more than that amount per weight ton amount of cost effective. it's on that basis primarily that we determined were we decided that was an appropriate amount of the fee and that meets the requirements ceqa requirements that mitigation especially mitigation directly proportional to the impact that there mitigating. that said, the mitigation measure provides for further discussion with the air district and we intend to continue that discussion as we would like to reach a final agreement with the district around a workable offset mitigation measure we can apply both to the district as well as future projects. we've never done this before good we think is very promising innovation measure. we also modified the mitigation measure because of ongoing discussions and or the other so far over the amount to add a second option to that mitigation measure. that second option would allow project sponsor to directly fund and offset project by then enter into an agreement with the air district. we know that's feasible because we didn't that for america's cup. the americans cup eir the ports installed a offshore power or not offshore, a shoreside power facility which allows ships to come into the ports drydock facility to connect to grid power and shut down their engines. which made a significant missions reduction in air quality benefit. the project has been implement it everything based on that model there are other offset projects that could be implemented in san francisco. finally, on a point consular mission bay alliance stated incorrectly that on the basis that mitigation measure the eir and ceqa findings that are before you for adoption conclude that the impact related to the mission of ozone precursors is less than significant level. that is incorrect. is this is a new approach for the city but for the one time it america's cup, we conservatively in the eir found that impact to be significant and unavoidable with mitigation. we do that in a case where we've identified mitigation for significant impact but there is some uncertainty about the ability to mitigate the impact that's less than significant. >> board? >> may i ask one more question. thanks much for clearing that up. i appreciate that. one of the members of the public mentions-alluded to it. i want to follow. as a ballpark on mission bay the chance edition committee that's in doing all that work in terms of the transportation issues in the neighborhood. so, i assume or hope based on the eir lovesick summary from this project will sit on that committee now. is that right clean worksite was one the mitigation measures. but then also i want a little bit more clarity on how that advisory committee for the transportation fund tie into that committee and also just the overall for moving of the transportation mitigation? >> adamant market averages a comment. we were speaking in the hallway earlier today about this very topic. making a formal connection between the two. the ballpark mission bay and transportation coronation committee existed since the solution of at&t park at the channel. it is really become a pretty strong form of interdisciplinary discussion between the various city departments, police, fire, through mta and dpw and others. this interest in mission bay. the giants, the neighborhood the residence the commercial interests etc. god places in our eir where the committee is referenced anders requirements for the worst present information in terms of events notification like large special beds but having a formal seat on the committee. the visor he committee of the mission bay chance edition improvement fund is the five-member seat. we want to give it a little smaller than the ballpark transportation coronation committee which is a regular attendance and more like 20-25 member area and we wanted this to be a focus on pinch points where pco's could alleviate congestion or specific headways that can be reduced to serve the arena and the neighborhood. we set those up nothing to do with an event at the arena can bypass the area still get to where they need to go. we fully agree with the comments and we actually talked about setting a meeting this week so we can make a formal connection. whether that's having membership that transcends both the bridge so represent from the warriors on the present committee is also on the ballpark committee and from ucsf and for indoor from the residence and/or from commercial. so we decimate the coronation of arm and funding him are in lockstep together. >> thank you. >> members of the board russians or thoughts? >> i think the board will need to take some action to incorporate the changes to the mmr p into the action you're going to take. the city attorney is figure out the mechanism to do that. >> great. >> directors, mr. chairman, the bison board should modify the enclosure to the resolution to incorporate the changes to the mmr p the staff read into the record. >> an amendment or something? >> one moment. >>so, directors, a motion to amend your resolution we would at a resolve clause, whereas the sfmta board of directors shall modify the enclosures to the resolution this item to incorporate the changes to the mrp staff read into the record. >> motion? >> second >> all those in favor say, aye. opposed, nay. the aye habit. >> motion to approve all those in favor say, aye. opposed, nay. the aye habit. >> the attorney-client privilege. >> motion >> all those in favor say, aye. >>[recess] >> the mta met in closed session. directors voted to settle the case. was no discussion. directors, recover from ocean to disclose or not disclose the information >> not disclose >> all those in favor say, aye. opposed, nay. the aye. we are joined. >>[gavel] - good morning hello hold on one second. >> tap the front. >> yeah. testing testing good morning good morning and welcome to the commission on aging & adult services meeting we're going to call the we have the roll call? >> commissioner president james commissioner serlina is absent decide commissioner loo is absent and commissioner ow is absent and commissioner roy >> and please note that executive director ann is present. >> because we do not have the opportunity quorum of another member we're going to just take not any action on the action items we just going to have the opportunity report because we don't have a quorum to vote on the action items okay we will hear the report and see with that, we'll move to we can't do approval of the minutes of the agenda more the consent calendar more the meeting minutes but all we're adopt to item 5 is there public comment

we go you're fine you're fine and present this to egging in a to you so all of you only today it is so interesting; right? as was mentioned agnes works in the protective services been with us 19 years that's right it says that are here but a quiz for you today agnes carries and bilingual be case load and because of that because you have bilingual capacities is often tasked with serving folks who need you're special skills actually of being able to speak to the language folks and sort things out in multiple because a person needs to what you're working with someone that comes from another place; right? another culture it also says in the write up about you because you have officer of the day duties because of your bilingual talents useless frequently called out several times at a time and opposed to twice a lot more work and folks to be sgrak with and doing our best for just to remind us all department of aging & adult services is part of our protection services in that division we really tasked with making sure that people have all the rights and all the privileges that they have coming to them as an adult but looking at and investigating to determine if others are that take advantage if they have self-neglect issues and trying to pull those two things together for those of us who know that world only two well, this is a difficult job how not to tread on someone's rights but at the same time providing them all the possibility to make their life as safe and possible and healthy as possible will all the ap s staff stand yeah (clapping.) thank you it further agnes goes on i'll give this to you it says our a person of quiet strength and don't flinch with the hofb abuse situation i guess that is the part for many of us in the room we don't intimately know don't face

commissioners know this is my last commission meeting i'll be in d.c. in the first week in december doing some work for our local triple a our state association and for ann frank so i have a regular report to give but i wanted to say and few words before the normal report this is just to say it's been a credible pleasure to serve this community of older adults with disabilities a tremendous privilege for the commission and hopefully speak to those who were not here he was thinking about all the commission does and our dedication i think to fairness and our dedication to making sure that we serve our very diverse community and that our providers are as diverse as the community we provide services for and any number of critical questions have been asked in 2, 3, 4 meeting made us a community of people going and taking stock of what we're doing and how we're doing it is there another way to do it sometimes questions are we like commission to go - i've always said that if we've done our jobs well, that commission will be smooth but sometimes those critical questions questions can be i don't want to say annoying but catch up in the wrong place one day is r one way or another it makes us what we or so many people outside of our community work in san francisco all think and i like and we're this and that but we debate issues here and have a little bit of a different philosophy to give assistance to those at this commission we've taken our time and looked at it issues thoroughly the staff i think sporlts for this commission has been really unfailing so whether it is contracts or budget or program staff you had a team of people that have been the best i've had folks at events come up to me and say you think that team of people it gives stuff to our commission i don't know anyone that hadn't gotten an answer our team of people move faster mann than several departments will go unnamed that is really because people take their jobs very, very seriously and want to bring you the best information and be able to answer the questions you present and they want to have is followed the rules that are important to follow and at the same time use you know innovation and be creative as they can be and have that opportunity in some places and less in other places i want to say to the staff that is here today, it's been a tremendous opportunity to work with you and to see where we've come in the 10 years ago i've been here and in the 12 years since this did not have been an integrated department we started up off with different programs with the office of aging at the core 33 and a lot of work has to go into bringing folks together to make a department function well and when people i remember the office on aging staff they did everything that he worked in a small department with responsibility for budget and contracting and budgeting and moved into a department there was a whole structure that was different i can't say enough about what sherry reign did to anyone who wishes to speak that work it didn't happen overnight with la jolla dedication and commitment and the knowledge it can be really good in the end have to work at it to get there is a obviously a big thank you to home share reign anyone asked me if i was overjoyed about leaving it is pretty amazing to be in this position and have the opportunities that dos has had in the 10 years i've been here that is even in the downturn when we had to struggle overtaking money from nutrition and frhere and there been a tremendous community and for people to come together and pull ideas and figure out the best way when we needed to cut back and exciting to have the second year $6 million came and we were able to flush out the programs for disabilities and create the community living fund it is credible this was a part times job i wouldn't leave but not a part-time job and time to go i know we're having a party in december i'm not sure the folks that are here won't be able to be here one last thing to say i think that is really kind of the truth of who this department and commission and those providers are in that what which our son died i had the good fortune to join a support group i was amazed a group of families that lost children adult children and i was the only one in the group that when i went back to work i didn't have the opportunity problems that everyone else had those problems ran the range of people saying insensitive things you need to get over it and on with that people avoiding other people and it goes on i can only share and reflect on the fact when i came back to work i came back to people that are gracious and so filled with concern and compassion so able to say what was on their hearts and say it to me i know we come to those commission meetings and give staff awards i tried to highlight what our staff does and that's part of what they do it is so not surprisingly it is when you have a big event in our life that is indicating tropic people like our surrounded with like me is so generous with themselves i this is an all of you for the privilege i've had to be here it's a tremendous honor and now we'll get on with the regular so it is so cool yesterday in my e-mail a operation from the president of the united states i've never gotten an operation proclamation this is because of being in a conference i have no idea this was a plantation to announce that november is alzheimer's month you know, i just learned yesterday that the team dos which we created raised almost $30,000 in the walk so - >> proud of us (clapping.) you and tom being the leaders so the goals last year, we raised 15 or 16 thousand the goal this year was 20 and we got 29 thousand plus close to thirty that was great in proclamation come across any desk i'll share it we didn't just draw the attention i'll try to read it i've never seen that bear with me it says at the ends avenue all the hero to see and witness where of i have here into set this hand this 2 eight day of other of the independence of the united states the hundred and 40 the other couple i have things to mention i because i'm on the national association of aging board of directors have been invited to gay long retreat in colorado for the lgbt elderly it having kathy greenly from the administration of community living and they'll be attending a two-day event to look at strategies that address this particular population crossing across the country of what people are doing in different place to people shouldn't be surprised i make contact with you before i want to make sure i come with all i possible can to this meeting in early october the national village association of villages jacqueline is that right. >> village to village had hair conference in seattle and vac listen from the next vinyl and ata ate e kate from the san francisco vinyl and i assembly david chiu presented this conference on the work that san francisco has done in terms of the funding for the vinyl and the why david sorry chiu did a terrific set up for the whole community around why village work is so important and what it means for san francisco and why he and another supervisor got involved and we did our 1, 2, 3 on both what we were doing locally and the changes what it maples to have government money the kinds of things people has an opportunity had government funding before this is different from the membership i thought that was an interesting meeting met folks from all over the country and the focus on middle-income class people someone said so well at the scan conference last week with the huge population of boomers coming out the next and the fact that there is no agnes saying people purchasing long term care people don't have assess there is a concern as the boomers may spend down they'll join the folks in the medi-cal system at some point that system will exploded because of villages in san francisco that opportunity to look at what are the other things that can be done in this area that didn't cost as much money but serves a lot of folks it was an interesting conference and had a lot of opportunity to talk about what's been going on. >> and then just to scluk you've probably been seeing a lot of information in the paper about the variance women issues on the ballots i think i recorded here a few months ago the california association of aging has decided that it is throwing it's hat into the ring with one of the initiatives and having been looking to have a portion of the tax dollars go to programs that serve younger and older adults that work is moving forward we know there are 4 different initiatives and the variance initiatives are working together to see if they can't get that down to one as we saw in ohio or wherever voted down i heard on the news last night that vote was 67 people being able to control the growth and you know anything that will happen in that state relate to marijuana the same thing for children's rights a lot of things to look at in terms of product development and taxed what will be and won't be allowed it's not there yet we're seniors and the disabilities are part of the potential - there's a potential for revenue streams to come from that work that is exciting frankly no new money in years. >> i think that's all i have for my report. >> thank you. >> just briefly executive director just

report. >> thank you. >> okay. next h program performance on the seniors and young adults with sdalts disability bryan. >> good morning, commissioners and others i'm the program analyst a give you a little bit of background at the april 2015 commission the commission approved a new contract for funding for a new type of program a housing subsidy project programming to be administrative code by the q known as aids housing alliance this was identified seniors with disabilities a doctor in income and without this program would be evicted through the use of a housing subsidy payment to help with rent the idea of eviction is prevented and younger adults are stabilized and kept in their housing, of course, the participates in this program go to rigorous extensive ongoing participation in the program as i mentioned this was new to dos and the commission at that time that was presented the commissions ask for an update as the program was upcoming so today i've asked bryan to come in and talk to the commission on an update how the program is going with that said, is bryan here. >> hello commissioners, thank you for having us back it is gone by really quickly for or you're here again all right. so i want to give you an update on the process we're making we're fully enrolled in a subsidy program and - there we go. >> so here you'll see the age distribution for the people that we've enrolled in the program we range from 25 years old to 97 is our oldest enroll yes. we've got one 90 years old and that is gratifying our largest group is 50 to 59 let's see - the gender breakdown is 26 female and 66 percent meal and 8 percent transgender that is equally distributed between male to female and female to male transgender. >> race wear 23 percent african-american, 61 percent caucasian, 10 percent first nation and 10 percent asian pacific islanders and under ethnicity 10 percent hispanic latino and 90 percent not hispanic latino. >> the subsidy range is as low as 200 and $46 and the maximum amount is $1,200 with the average which when i modeled it out 8 hundred bucks we're getting close. >> our average rent is one thousand $34 with the average income of enreels $893 our ratio is one hundred and 8 percent the average person their rent exceeded their income and without that that subsidy they would have lost their housing we had a pilot working with the mayor's office of housing and community development to help identify certificate of preference holders or ellis act evictions counselors who have been unable to execute their excuse me. their preferences they lack sufficient income so 11 percent of the people we enrolled in the subsidy are certificate of preference holders or local eviction i'm grateful a family for preference for a certificate of preference holder for 40 or 50 years and finally be able to change the way we distribute access to rental assistance in the city so that we really, time it with access to housing what we have a system that is broken that if you have a section 8 certify be on the list you're on the list for 15 or 17 years you get our subsidy and no housing in the market to execute it if or so the only option to apply more affordable housing so you sit on a wait list for years and then loss the subsidy by the time the income it up the system is broken this is a way to look at creative ways to see the systems coordinated better it seems to be working. >> and then we'll have a total of 13 agrees enrolling into the subsidys we've built an online portal when someone comes to them their log in and do the referral the screening and referral right there they scan the proof of income and the documents and just drag and drop it into the portal we contact those people and set up the in take and enroll them we've enroll people in as little as twenty-four hours that seems to be working. >> that is the highlights any questions. >> yes. i have one question what about more or less the disabled that may have children. >> there are no restrictions. >> are there restrictions on that. >> no, no we don't have a restriction against children in the home for those subsidies overwhelmingly we're talking about simple adults. >> most of single adults but no restrictions if they have children. >> not at all. >> any other questions? >> okay thank you. >> thank you, commissioners. >> thank you. >> we got a couple of our participants that want to come up and say hi. >> i'm unprepared but hi, good morning i've been a resident of san francisco since 198 percent 2 before any life was stable and then became unstable my rent is one thousand $55 a month i can't go to have a cup of coffee mr. bryan i met and during this i was thinking of ending my life this is the way that seniors were going to be but those things stopped after i met him they've subsidize my rent and now thinking of ending my life i have not thank you. >> to bryan. >> thank you for sharing. >> i'm david not a very good public speaker i'm 59 i have a severe case of p t s d from a child abuse survivor i'm west portal enough to work part time in freelance but not because of the p t s d comes and goes and shows up at any moment from the subsidy from aids housing i live comfortably with food on the table with my part time income and if that weren't for aids housing i don't know might be on some island somewhere i want other people to have what i have not live observe the streets with and choosing within their rents and food they should have what i have we should take care of more people. >> thank you. >> is there any other business at this time new business for discussion only correlation presentation sandra i didn't moore thank you. >> now. >> good morning commission and ann and at this time i want to thank ann pubically for her blifrp being the head of our department thank you, ann we'll miss you i'm here commissioners to give you an overview of the dignity fund cooperation that is a coalition of nonprofit and representatives from the ada field and the younger disability aging field it came together to look at this issue what is golden going on in san francisco san francisco has the largest population of seniors in any city in california they together with those over 18-years old with disability comprise 25 percent of san francisco's current residence those 200 thousand residents represent a difference immunities of people a rich mixture of ethnicity and gender and sexual orientation whether loshlth residents they've help to build this city with culture and history nearly 2/3rd's of older residents lack the basic o basic economic security that displace will continue to grow because the elaborately cost of living and the growing number of seniors and adults with sdablths needing look at of pope hope to stay in their homes the dignity fund coalition was put together to look at this to help seniors and adults with disabilities to get support in a larger way than we have been in the last few years we did we are in discussion this is a work in process commissioners so this will be we'll come back to you give you an update where this is going going but the goal to come up with a ballot initiative for november of 2016 and this will be a charter amendment the chapter amendment requires 50 percent because one of the voters to support and this the question that was put in a poll we took we did a poll prior to coming to this ascertainment and that poll showed that over 69 to 74 percent of people registered voters will support of the concept of setting aside 2 percent of property tax to be allocated toward senior services and services for adults with disabilities as you may know this concept of set aside is controversial because most elected officials do not support the idea of taking away the authority of the budget of the particular city and so with this particular concept we've been going to the different supervisors we have 5 supervisors who are supportive of this concept we would like our goal to get 11 supervisors to support the concept and the mayor is supporting this concept we're talking with the mayor's representatives in the department that represent the department of aging & adult services about this whole direction and so we have a lot of work to do ahead a lot of community organizes at the grassroots level as you may know this is a because it is a ballot initiative it takes - it is the issue of getting the voters to support it so i wanted to also let you know that this particular fund would support funding for community-based long term services this is not include institutional care serves as laguna honda or san francisco general hospital many of the advocates of aging & adult services for over 25 years has been pushing the concept of community-based care and having people age in place in our homes and part-time and neighborhoods as long as possible without institutionalized so serves as home and community long term support and food and nutrition and consumer and caregiver education and empowerment self-advocacy and legal services program and health and wellness and the targeted services and support and new areas such as alzheimer's care, respite care and caregiver support so those are some of the categories that would be included in the funding from this dignity fund and the other aspect i wanted to direct your attention is that in terms of the relationship to you as commissioners you as a commission would therefore because the funds go through our department therefore our commission would be overseeing that fund at the same time, we're recommending what we call a governance and overview committee that is appointees from the mayor and the board of supervisors to also oversee this implementation of the fund and administration of the fund as i mentioned this fund b will go introduce the department of aging & adult services therefore your budget b will increase quite a bit f if in place today, the fiscal year 2018 we would have added $29 million to your base budget to give you an idea so that as i said is a major policy direction for the city and county of san francisco and we will continue to give you update as we continue to organize towards this if you have any questions i'll be happy to to try to answer them. >> not at this time it is a major policy change and we need to look at make sure we are in touch with all parts of community community because it - people are concerned about the tax praishg and what have you. >> commissioners this is no new tax it is setting aside 2 percent of partitioning that come in every year. >> oh. >> to set aside 4 funding for seniors and adults with disabilities. >> you're right commission. >> you were talking about all aspects the city because there are part of our city who also have a stereotype of seniors that seniors are well-off and fine they don't need a lot of happen there's that prospective we have to do a lot of community awareness and a lot of outreach to go into every single neighborhood all the different advocacy groups right now we have 25 he different organizations that are supporting this concept and that's going to increase, of course, because we plan to add more and more as we go. >> thank you. >> any comments from - thank you very much. >> thank you. >> okay other new business we've removed the mayor's office of housing and community development and the demonstration programs has been removed we were down to announcements we're moving to the last page under announcements. >> are there any announcements at this time. >> any announcements hearing none public comment? any public comment? at this time? >> mississippi any public comment? hearing none can i have a motion? >> to adjourn. >> okay. we move we

little bit as our homeless are thank you to the staff in working closely with any office of housing and focus on vets i know that veterans day is around the corner we have more news was we rezoning confirm our commitment to end chronic homelessness and thank you to president obama and the first lady mrs. obama they've challenged many mayors across the country to make sure all us mayors do we we can to he said the homeless of vets we'll do that in san francisco i want to thank our source of hours sharing michael are you are a wonderful agency and working on homes for heros on office of the city administrator it's street and residential hostilities of hotels lying ever like the one on kearny center the that is yet again another great model today, weer identifying that we have about 200 and 70 homeless veterans we're going to houses by the end of the year and identifying housing unit but asking for more help we're going to be helping help from the federal government we need to make sure that those vouchers that our veterans get have the opportunity value that is reflective of the kinds of housing costs our vets are facing even though we have perhaps enough of those vouchers to go around they don't reflect the high cost of living that's why we're advocating with hud and the freshen to increase the value 0 so this bmsz a more valuable thing the other part to request we have a deeper commitment by the property owners in san francisco we have great people who have served our country that are having have possession of the voufrngz and need homes and apartments and place kept off the market we want to make sure that we ask a broad venue of landlord and property owners throughout the bay area to assist us in low income those units for our fine veterans this is what we're nourng today begins with the city's commitment address my commitment as a son of a vet he want san francisco make sure i honor my father and his service by honoring the vets and treat them as they're my own kin as well we can't do more and better by treating them well they've stated that for the country our role to make sure we honor them and not just housing in our city when we welcome in vets do it in a holistic way services that are invaluable and a lot of issues have arisen for the vets we've identified over time and want to provide them with good health services and good job plummet and training that's why our office in concert with our homes are create a jobs portfolio for the vets for one stop and working with the trustees like ac election ralph at city college to make a ask the next question to those who are returning and work with them as they get the training and jobs of the 21st century we want to be there with supportive community community-based organizations and all the training agencies have a spot for veterans to make sure their convenient and assessable and effective in giving job training to our vets ultimately i want to make sure our vets with work in the 15 destroys that are indicative of our success as a city health care a big economic driver why not and tourism and hotel industry and culinary worlds best we're hosting the super bowl 50 why not have the opportunity veterans in that tourism and making sure they're part with us and earner good job in the technology industry over the course vets can help that is what we're doing with tech sf recruiting veterans and young people to work together to make sure they have the job skills and we're creating in our city a administrative reviews segment that hopefully regrets the kind of commitment for look good men and women in the past this is making things with our hands and something we want to work request city college and the local legislators have a brewery and candy and crocks or my favorite ice cream i can make ice cream over the course i can make my favor one scoop for you two scoops for me in all the destroys we want our vets strained and ready and able we'll be advise our employers that you have a very great pit in picking a veteran for a job while advocate and make sure you have every chance of success ublt though that housing is one of the most important things that's why the question what a crisis in the city and make sure that out of this crisis we emphasis the needs for people who have already as far as i am concerned for our country that is getting homes for our veterans we have more to say than when it comes to veterans that are homeless we want to make sure that they're off our streets and on to warm housing that's why we're securing the are long term leases with our residential hotel but we want to take over the vabt vacant hotels and rezoning do them and rezoning wire and rezoning paint and have them with new facilities and alliances just like 250 kearny street expensive but worth it you should see the faces of those they'll not be proudly when in they're in the center of where everything is happening and get a lot of good contact right next door in the restaurant and in the industries that are downtown to get the jobs we want those are all the things we're doing we're also building new housing for the veterans how about new housing
