That concludes Public Comment. Please call the next item item two is communications and the directors report. Communications include the Restricted Communications report of contracts out, but for a bit forbid, but have not been awarded yet. And the hmm. The communications also include the commissions advanced calendar and a memo reporting the Operations Division. Contracts that have have been or likely will be considered by the public works commission. Interim director carla short is here to present her report. This is an informational item. Good morning commissioners. Carla short, interim director. Public works just a few items to bring to your attention today. The first is chapter 12 x repeal, so you may be pleased to hear that the board of supervisors has voted to repeal chapter 12 x of the citys administrative code. For some background 12 x forbids the city from doing businesses doing business with companies headquartered in states that have enacted anti lgbt q laws, restricted abortion or curtailed voting access. San francisco employees are also barred from traveling to those states on city business. San francisco policy effectively made 30 states off limits. 12 x was initially adopted in 2016 and expanded over the years, and its a tool really of pop pocketbook politics by using boycotts to try to compel change , 12 x aim to compel states to rescind their restrictive laws by withholding San Francisco business. The value based tactic didnt work and instead ended up costing public works and other city departments money by limiting competition. A report commissioned by the city administrator found that 12 x increases contracting costs by as much as 20 annually and thats a significant financial hit. The first phase of repeal involves Construction Contracts for public works and other chapter six departments and that took effect on april 28th. The full repeal, which will lift the purchasing and travel bans is set to go into effect in early june. Because of the contracting component, 12 x has a larger impact on public works. Overall however, the Operations Division should see the positive impacts of the repeal because of the procurement component involving materials and supplies. We are hopeful that these legislative changes will lead to more Competitive Bidding environment and lead to lower project costs. Next up a p i heritage month we kicked off aapi heritage month on may 1st to celebrate the Diverse Group of cultures, countries and people of the Asian AmericanPacific Islander community. The theme strengthening the fabric of our community. Like our other heritage month celebrations, the api month events are organized by a staff committee. This past tuesday, they hosted a zoom session to hear from the curator of two arts festivals, camp fest and the United States of Asian American festival. To learn about the offerings of music, food, film and art. Theres a lot more on tap throughout the month, including daily emails, spotlighting notable individuals in the aapi community. We had an interactive trivia game last week, a zoom session api folklore and another on the chinatown alleys through the public works. Lens will cap the festivities with an employee potluck celebration. The aapi heritage month. Organizers really have planned a great lineup. Were proud. Im very proud of public works to host a variety of heritage months that celebrate the black latin x l g b t q and a api communities. The api organizing committee nailed it with their description of the importance of the events. Quote by sharing with and learning from one from each other. We build integral bonds, which strengthen our community and our collective voice. That is a powerful message and one that can benefit all of us. As chairman, ghanem noted this past saturday, we hosted our monthly neighborhood beautification day in the hate and western edition neighborhoods and enthusiastic group of volunteers working alongside our bureau of urban forestry and street and Environmental Services. Crews planted trees and medians, painted out graffiti and freshened up the campus of the John Muir Elementary School where we kicked off the days festivities. Thank you, chairman ghanem for joining us and we are. You are always welcome to speak at these events. We were able to accomplish a lot of great improvements and continue to nurture our community partnerships. Next month neighborhood beautification day will take place in potrero hill and bayview Hunters Point the event will be on saturday, june 10th starting at nine a. M. Well meet at star king elementary school, which is located at 11 06 wisconsin street before we head out to the worksites. I hope you can join us. Lombard street irrigation project tomorrow will be joining supervisor aaron peskin, the San FranciscoPublic Utilities commission and russian hill neighbors at a press event to mark completion of a new drip irrigation system on the crooked stretch of lombard street. We expect the upgrade will save about 42,000 gallons a month in water usage and really helped keep the beautiful flowering landscaping that borders the road thriving. The antiquated spray irrigation system we replaced had been using about 600,000 gallons of water a year and wasnt efficient because some of the water evaporates before it got to the plants. The new drip irrigation system, which was laid out by buff gardening crews in a grid design will bring the water directly to the base of the plants. The new system will also be less prone to breaks and leaks. The 126,000 project is funded jointly by public works and the San FranciscoPublic Utilities commission. Supervisor paschen helped secure the money. Located on the 1000 block of lombard street between hide and leavenworth streets. The crooked street is a beloved San Francisco landmark, both quirky and stunning. Our bureau of urban forestry landscaping team, which designed and installed the new watering system takes great pride in this Improvement Project to keep the 10,000 square feet of landscaping on lombard, healthy and looking good.

This is an informational item. And, uh, just for the presenters knowledge. We were having a little trouble with the feed from the laptop, so i may have to run the slides for you. So. And bob. My monitor isnt working, but thats okay. I can use the screen. Dont dont delay. Dont hold up on my account. I know. Yeah, exactly. Thats my head. My hair, okay . You shouldnt do that on okay . Ill just move the slides for you. Thank you. Good morning. Im darlene from assisting Deputy Director for operations. Oh, great. Warren hill, assistant manager, Central Operations. Some of the data im gonna be presenting today is our Workforce Development programs as a whole and our outreach and enforcement, um, section as well. Um, what youll see in front of you is our current data and okay . Is this better . There we go. All right. So what youre looking at now is our current data as far as enrollees for our 99 16 Public ServiceTraining Program in which we currently have 83 individuals involved. Im sorry, enrolled and employed. Um next is our 75. Oh, one general labor Apprenticeship Program. We currently have 12 active 75. Oh, one general labor employees thats going to be a 3000 to 4000 our program just currently 3000 hours and we have , um, paperwork currently with dust, the department of industry relations and apprenticeship standards to alter those hours to 4000 training hours for the completion of the program. We have 12 individuals currently involved. Im sorry. Enrolled we started with 13 but lost one to full time employment to sfo. So we lost him on a positive note, and then we have one plumbers apprentice currently enrolled, and they are scheduled to turn out to their journey level. Um, role within the next 3 to 6 months. Some Historical Data that were looking at here. It may seem a bit confusing, and ill explain that along the way. What we first take a look at is our 75. Oh one program and what that looks at is the total number of individuals who have been involved in the program to date. Um as of right now, that is 321. Um what were also looking at is 165 individuals who are currently employed in city classification. So whats that means is that we would have liked to have seen all 321 individuals complete the 75 or one program and then go on to 75 14, the general labor classification or another employment classification here in the city, and that actually happened with 165 individuals. So of the graduates, some did go on to 75 14 employment and we did run a wage data. Throughout the city, so were able to see 165 individuals were currently enrolled, rather employed in other city classifications here on the with the city. Um next will be our 30 14. This is where you start to see the discrepancy where we had 24 individuals complete the program. But we had 50. Im sorry, was that 33 individuals enrolled or rather employed in separate city classification. So what that means is that individuals who started 30 14 program may not have finished and became journey level guard. Honors. But they did go on to other employment classifications here with the city. Next is all were 34 34. Oh, nine, which is our arborists program. We had two individuals finish one individuals currently , um, still enrolled at sorry. Employed as a city employee. The next is our 73 98 73 99. Thats our submit masons. We had five individuals complete. The Actual Program for went on to city employment, and one did indeed go onto private sector employment. Um b at the time of their graduation. The next would be our stationary engineers. So that would be are you can, i guess, statistically, our most successful where we, um you know , had four complete and for those four individuals did actually go on to Permanent Civil Service as stationary engineers. When we look at all were street inspector trainees, so that was a 12 person Pilot Program 11 of those individuals did actually complete ah, but they want individual who did not complete also went on to a separate city classification. So we have all 12. Those individuals who are actively employed with the city, and then our last would just be our our plumbers, ones, which i just covered, so weve had one individual complete and that individual is still employed with the city. Um he just completed his. He turned out in february. So hes a journey level. He will be a recognized journey level plumber once we figure that paperwork out. The next thing were looking at is are performative data evaluated . Metrics for our, um, our Community Engagement team. So what that actually entails . Thats our one team, which is our outreach and enforcement and Community Engagement team, which helped put on the neighborhood vacation day event this past weekend. Uh what were looking at is weve had from february 2023 to april 2023. Weve had three neighborhood beautification events, 35 greening days and 155 community cleanups. Um not bad over three month time frame if you ask me, but were also looking at debris that was has been collected so total. Weve had 3750 bags of debris. Collected from these actual events. Um. Breaking down this individual data. Im not gonna be able to do that for you. Unfortunately the individual supposed to present is unfortunately out, but i just want you to see that as far as what that breaks down to. We have 197 compost bags that have been um, collected and 3500 and 53 bags of trash. Total engagement events as far as weve provided 325 tools to community, various community events. 108 of those have been a different organizations, 97 have been to new adaptive street members and 35 have been for new graffiti watch. Um, the initiatives. Go for it. Hello everyone. Apologies for the late arrival, but it looks like youve gotten here right in the thick of my teams contribution to the department. Im ramses alvarez. Im the acting Community Engagement manager. Um the numbers speak for themselves. Know that warren i walked in while he was kind of going over them. The slide that were looking at now is our performance for the various things that we of
