00:04:14 VERY IMPORTANT SUPPORT TO VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES WHO ARE
00:04:18 SEEING AN INCREASE IN NEED IN THIS FEDERAL CONTEXT AS
00:04:23 PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY PEOPLE OF COLOR ARE INCREASINGLY UNDER

00:04:54 PAY THESE TWO ORGANIZATIONS FOR WORK.
00:04:55 THEY HAVE ALREADY COMPLETE ID AND I THINK YOU KNOW
00:04:59 PARTICULARLY AS NONPROFIT BUDGETS GET TIGHTER, AS THE
00:05:04 NEED GROWS, IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE DO WHAT WE CAN TO SUPPORT
00:05:11 ORGANIZATIONS LIKE THIS. >> I WANT TO THANK THE HUMAN

00:06:01 MONTHS TO TRY TO ADDRESS THE CONCERNS THAT I HAD AND THE
00:06:03 CONCERNS OF OTHERS. IT FEELS LIKE THE PLANE IS
00:06:06 LANDING AND THAT WE ARE EITHER AT OR VERY CLOSE TO A MEASURE
00:06:12 THAT WILL BOTH ADDRESS THE REASONABLE CONCERNS OF LOCAL
00:06:16 261 THAT THERE WORK NOT THAT BASIC PUBLIC SERVICES NOT BE
00:06:20 CONTRACTED OUT BUT WE'LL ALSO ADDRESS SOME OF THE OTHER
00:06:24 CONCERNS THAT HAVE BEEN RAISED INCLUDING MY OWN THAT WE NOT
00:06:27 LOSE GROUND IN OUR ONGOING EFFORTS TO TRY TO MAKE OUR
00:06:31 PUBLIC SPACES SAFE AND CLEAN FOR EVERYONE TO USE.
00:06:35 WITH THAT I'M GOING TO RUN OUT OF HERE.

00:06:46 AND NEXT NOW WE WILL HEAR FROM MR. THOMAS FRAZIER, CFO FOR THE
00:06:54 HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION. NOW THE AGENCY FOR HUMAN RIGHTS
00:06:57 . WE APPRECIATE YOU HEARING THESE
00:06:58 ITEMS TODAY AND ABSOLUTELY APPRECIATE SUPERVISOR MANDELSON
00:07:02 FOR HIS SUPPORT AS STATED, HRC IS REQUESTING APPROVAL OF
00:07:06 RETROACTIVE GRANT AGREEMENTS FOR A PART OF OUR BAY AREA
00:07:09 AND COMMUNITIES UNITED AGAINST VIOLENCE.
00:07:12 BOTH GRANTS ORIGINALLY RAN THROUGH DECEMBER 31ST, 2024 FOR
00:07:16 A DURATION OF ABOUT A YEAR AND ON DECEMBER 18TH 2024 HRC
00:07:20 APPROVED SIX MONTH EXTENSIONS AND NOTIFIED BOTH ORGANIZATIONS
00:07:24 IN WRITING. BOTH ORGANIZATIONS CONTINUED
00:07:27 DELIVERING SERVICES FROM JANUARY 2025 THROUGH JUNE 2025
00:07:31 BASED ON THOSE APPROVALS AND WHAT WE ARE ASKING TODAY IS
00:07:35 AUTHORIZATION OF PART OF OUR FOR AN ADDITIONAL $150,000
00:07:38 AND FOR Q1 $100,000 FOR THE EXTENSION PERIOD AS STATED THIS
00:07:46 WOULD ALLOW US TO REIMBURSE BOTH ORGANIZATIONS FOR SERVICES
00:07:50 THEY HAVE ALREADY PROVIDED. ONE NOTE IS THAT IT'S MY
00:07:53 UNDERSTANDING THAT WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE CHAIR WE DO HAVE
00:07:57 SOME REVISIONS TO THE PART OF OUR RESOLUTION TO PROPERLY
00:08:01 REFLECT FISCAL SPONSORSHIP FOR THAT ORGANIZATION AND WITH YOUR
00:08:08 SUPPORT WE WILL READ THOSE INTO THE RECORD.
00:08:09 SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY
00:08:12 QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. >> OKAY.
00:08:16 I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. I WILL SAY THAT I APPRECIATE
00:08:20 YOUR WORK ON THIS OFTEN IN THE CONTEXT OF THE LAST FEW YEARS
00:08:27 WHEN WE HAVE AS WE'VE BEEN GRAPPLING WITH BUDGETARY
00:08:30 SHORTFALLS IN A VERY CHALLENGING ENVIRONMENT
00:08:35 IN TERMS OF OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, I
00:08:38 THINK THERE ARE CATEGORIES OF PRIORITIES THAT WE SHOULD BE
00:08:42 SUPPORTING THAT ARE PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE.
00:08:45 SOME OF THE PRIORITY YOU KNOW, PUBLIC SECTOR PRIORITIES THAT
00:08:53 ARE OFTEN WELL SUPPORTED BY THE PHILANTHROPIC COMMUNITY FOR
00:08:56 EXAMPLE IN THIS ERA CAN FEEL THAT THEY HAVE A TARGET ON
00:09:00 THEIR BACK EVEN EVEN TO SUPPORT SOME THINGS THAT ARE
00:09:05 CONTROVERSIAL. THE THREE THAT COME TO MIND ARE
00:09:08 THE TRANS COMMUNITY, THE IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY
00:09:09 AND REPRODUCTIVE CHOICE. >> THERE IS REALLY NOT ANOTHER
00:09:13 OPTION IF SAN FRANCISCO ISN'T GOING TO BE THERE.
00:09:17 AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I FEEL MY THAT I VALUES THAT I
00:09:21 SHARE WITH MY COLLEAGUES WE HAVE TO RECOGNIZE THAT
00:09:24 SOMETIMES WHEN THERE'S DIFFICULT BUDGET CHOICES TO
00:09:28 MAKE THERE MAY BE ANOTHER SOURCE SOME PHILANTHROPIC
00:09:29 SUPPORT OR SOMETHING OUT THERE FOR THESE KINDS OF MORE
00:09:32 POLITICALLY CHARGED ONES. IT REALLY ISN'T.
00:09:36 AND THE ONLY CAVALRY THAT'S GOING TO COME FOR THESE
00:09:37 COMMUNITIES IS THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO
00:09:40 AND WE HAVE TO TAKE SERIOUSLY OUR OBLIGATIONS AS MEMBERS OF
00:09:43 THIS COMMITTEE. THAT'S PART OF THE REASON THAT
00:09:47 I AM A CO-SPONSOR OF THIS. SO I'M HAPPY TO SUPPORT IT
00:09:51 AND I THINK WE DON'T HAVE AN ANALYST REPORT ON THIS.
00:09:55 >> DO YOU WANT TO READ IT? >> WELL, WE CAN DO IT AFTER
00:09:59 PUBLIC COMMENT. READ IT INTO THE RECORD.
00:10:01 SO I THINK WE'RE SEEING NO ONE ELSE ON THE ROSTER.
00:10:02 WHY DON'T WE AT THIS TIME INVITE A PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS
00:10:06 ITEM? >> YES.
00:10:06 IF WE HAVE ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WHO WISH TO ADDRESS THIS
00:10:09 COMMITTEE REGARDING THESE ITEMS ONE AND TWO NOW IS YOUR
00:10:12 OPPORTUNITY MR. CHAIR. >> WE HAVE NO SPEAKERS.
00:10:16 THANK YOU, MR. CLERK. >> PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ITEM
00:10:19 IS NOW CLOSED. OH, I'M SORRY, BUT CAN WE
00:10:23 REOPEN PUBLIC COMMENT? >> YES, WE CAN.
00:10:27 OKAY, SURE. PUBLIC COMMENT IS NOW REOPENED
00:10:30 . >> GOOD MORNING CHAIR
00:10:34 AND MEMBERS OF THE BUDGET COMMITTEE AND FINANCE
00:10:37 COMMITTEE. MY NAME IS ENGINEERING ME I'M
00:10:39 THE PRESIDENT AND CO-FOUNDER OF PERRY WORK BAY AREA.
00:10:42 THIS IS HIGHLY EMOTIONAL FOR ME.
00:10:45 I'M HERE TO ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT FOR THIS RESOLUTION
00:10:51 45260855 BECAUSE THIS IS THE ONLY LIFELINE FOR PARTY BY THE
00:10:52 BAY AREA PARTY WHERE IS SAN FRANCISCO BASED ORGANIZATION
00:10:56 FOUNDED AND LED BY NURSE AND GLOBAL SOUTH TRANSGENDER
00:11:01 IMMIGRANTS? SAN FRANCISCO HAS AND IS OUR
00:11:04 HOME AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE CENTER OF OUR WORK.
00:11:07 WE ARE THE ONLY TRANS CONTRIBUTOR LED GLOBAL SOUTH
00:11:12 TRANS ORGANIZATION IN THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
00:11:15 AND WE PROUDLY EXISTED IN SAN FRANCISCO FOR EIGHT YEARS.
00:11:19 SINCE OUR FOUNDING WE HAVE HELD MORE THAN 600 EVENTS RECORDED
00:11:22 MORE THAN 28,300 PARTICIPANT ENGAGEMENTS AND GRADUATED 212
00:11:28 PEOPLE TO OUR IMMIGRANT EMERGING LEADERSHIP PROGRAM.
00:11:32 WE HAVE RECEIVED 53 RECOGNITIONS AND AWARDS
00:11:35 MAJORITY OF THEM FROM THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO.
00:11:37 OUR PROGRAMS AND PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE HAVE BEEN
00:11:40 CENTERED HERE IN SAN FRANCISCO AND OUR SERVICES HAVE NOT BEEN
00:11:44 JUST LIMITED TO TRANSGENDER OR LGBTQ IMMIGRANTS.
00:11:47 THROUGH OUR MOST RECENT PROGRAM TO TRANS AND IMMIGRANT LEGAL
00:11:51 ASSISTANCE AND RELIEF INITIATED ,WE HAVE PROVIDED EMERGENCY
00:11:55 AND IMMIGRATION RELATED ASSISTANCE TO INDIVIDUAL GIRLS
00:11:59 AND FAMILIES OF SAN FRANCISCO INCLUDING OUR OWN STAFF
00:12:00 AND BOARD MEMBERS WHO WERE TARGETS OF ICE DETENTION.
00:12:04 WE HAVE SERVED IMMIGRANTS, ELDERS, LOW INCOME RESIDENTS,
00:12:08 FAMILIES AND OTHERS NAVIGATING CRISES AND UNFAMILIAR SYSTEMS.
00:12:11 I WANT TO REALLY EMPHASIZE THAT THE CITY HAD INVESTED
00:12:15 APPROXIMATELY 1.1 MILLION IN PARIVAR ACROSS THE THREE
00:12:18 EARLIER FISCAL YEARS PRIOR TO THE LAST TWO.
00:12:22 THAT INVESTMENT CAN BE ACCOUNTED FOR EVERY DOLLAR
00:12:25 AND HAS HELPED US BUILD THIS WORK TREMENDOUSLY.
00:12:26 WHEN WE DID NOT RECEIVE THIS WORK OR ANY NEW OPERATING
00:12:30 AWARDS IN THE LAST TWO FISCAL WE DID OUR BEST TO SUSTAIN BUT
00:12:36 WE NO LONGER COULD. AND IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR WE
00:12:38 PASSED OUR PROGRAMS AND ULTIMATELY CLOSED OUR SPACE
00:12:42 TO PARTY OF OUR IMMIGRANT CULTURAL CENTER AND WE ARE
00:12:45 STILL SERVING FOLKS WHO ARE FACING CHALLENGES WITH
00:12:49 IMMIGRATION IN THIS FEDERAL CLIMATE.
00:12:52 FOR PARIVAR THIS REQUEST IS NOT JUST ANOTHER GRANT ACTION IT IS
00:12:57 A LIFELINE THAT WILL GIVE OUR ORGANIZATION OPPORTUNITY TO
00:13:00 REBUILD. WE ARE HERE TO SAY THAT WE HAVE
00:13:02 A PLAN IN PLACE TO SEND MARK'S CHURCH URBAN LIFE CENTER HAS
00:13:05 OFFERED US SPACE. WE ARE NOW A FULLY FLEDGED FIVE
00:13:08 ONE SEAT (361) 229-5602 AFTER THREE YEARS OF FIGHTING WITH

00:14:04 WORKERS, COMPENSATING PERFORMERS FOR ENGAGEMENTS
00:14:05 IN THE TENDERLOIN MISSION CASTRO ACROSS THE CITY.
00:14:09 BUT CULTURE ENGAGEMENT WAS NEVER JUST ABOUT THE
00:14:12 PERFORMANCES. WE USED ARTS AND CULTURE AS
00:14:13 PATHWAYS TO EMPLOYMENT READINESS, IMMIGRANT

00:14:44 I ALSO SUPPORTED THE TILLERY PROGRAM WHERE I PERSONALLY
00:14:48 ENCOUNTERED SAN FRANCISCANS AND THEIR FAMILIES SEEKING
00:14:49 IMMEDIATE IMMIGRATION AND EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE.
00:14:52 THESE ARE NOT STATISTICS. THESE ARE PEOPLE IN CRISIS WHO
00:14:56 NEEDED SOMEONE TO LISTEN TO THEM TO HELP THEM NAVIGATE
00:14:59 UNFAMILIAR SYSTEMS AND CONNECT THEM WITH RESOURCES.
00:15:03 THIS WORK IS PERSONAL TO ME BUT NEVER GAVE ME THE OPPORTUNITY
00:15:07 TO TURN MY ART AND LIVED EXPERIENCE INTO SERVICE
00:15:08 AND ADVOCACY. WE HAVE OPERATED LEAN
00:15:12 AND STAYED NOSE DEEP IN THE WORK AS YOU CONSIDER 5260855.

00:47:40 THIS IS FUNDED THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH CARE

00:47:44 THE ADVOCATES FOR HUMAN POTENTIAL H P THIS RESOLUTION
00:47:47 IS REQUESTING RETROACTIVE APPROPRIATION AUTHORITY

00:48:02 >> A SUMMARY OF THE PROJECT THE HEALTH RECOVERY AND CONNECTION
00:48:06 CENTER WILL BE LOCATED IN THE FORMER HOME OF THE DEPARTMENT
00:48:07 OF BUILDING INSPECTION WHICH HAS BEEN VACANT FOR THE PAST
00:48:12 FIVE YEARS. THE CITY PURCHASED THIS
00:48:15 PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1660 MISSION STREET IN OCTOBER OF
00:48:18 2025 WITH SUPPORT OF A PREVIOUS B CHIP GRANT FUND.
00:48:21 IT'S BEING RENOVATED INTO THE HEALTH RECOVERY AND CONNECTION

00:48:49 DESIGN TEAM WAS SELECTED BY THE SAN FRANCISCO DEPARTMENT OF
00:48:53 PUBLIC WORKS WITH A PLANNED OPENING IN LATE 2025 OR JUST
00:48:58 BETWEEN 28. >> SO WE ARE SEEKING
00:48:59 RETROACTIVE AUTHORIZATION TO ACCEPT THESE GRANT FUNDS D P H
00:49:04 RECEIVED NOTICE OF THE CONDITIONAL AWARD ON FEBRUARY
00:49:09 27TH OF THIS YEAR. THE PROJECT COSTS ARE ELIGIBLE
00:49:10 TO BE REIMBURSED RETROACTIVELY TO THAT DATE OF CONDITIONAL
00:49:13 AWARD AND THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH CARE SERVICES SENT THE
00:49:17 GRANT AGREEMENT TO D IN JUNE OF 2026.
00:49:20 AFTER THAT WE BROUGHT THIS ITEM TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISOR
00:49:23 AFTER GOING THROUGH THE FISCAL APPROVAL PROCESS INCLUDING
00:49:25 REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE GRANT AGREEMENT BY THE CITY
00:49:28 ATTORNEY'S OFFICE AND COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE WE ARE
00:49:31 SEEKING APPROVAL FOR NONSTANDARD TERMS FOR THIS
00:49:35 AGREEMENT. THE BOARD OF SUPERVISOR HAS
00:49:36 APPROVED SIMILAR NONSTANDARD TERMS FOR PRIOR B CHIP GRANTS
00:49:39 IN THIS THE CITY WOULD AGREE TO RECORDING A DECLARATION OF
00:49:43 RESTRICTIONS ON THE PROPERTY AT 1660 MISSION STREET TO OPERATE
00:49:46 IT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE B CHIP TERMS WHICH ARE FOR A 30
00:49:50 YEAR PERIOD. IT ALSO AUTHORIZES DHS TO APPLY
00:49:53 FOR A RECEIVER FOR THE PROPERTY IN THE EVENT THAT THE CITY
00:49:57 DEFAULTS AND IT ALSO OBLIGATES THE CITY TO DEFEND, INDEMNIFY
00:50:00 AND HOLD DHS OR H P HARMLESS. THAT IS THE CONCLUSION OF MY
00:50:05 PRESENTATION IN RESPECTFULLY REQUEST APPROVAL FOR THESE
00:50:08 ITEMS. THANK YOU.
00:50:09 THANK YOU DR. SORIN AND NOW WE'LL HEAR FROM THE BUDGET
00:50:12 AND LEGISLATIVE ANALYST MR. MINARD.
00:50:15 >> ITEM 13 IS A RESOLUTION THAT APPROVES A GRANT AND ACCEPT AN
00:50:19 EXPEND AMOUNT OF $11.2 MILLION FROM THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT
00:50:24 OF HEALTH CARE SERVICES TO THE SAN FRANCISCO DEPARTMENT OF
00:50:28 PUBLIC HEALTH. THE GRANT WOULD RUN THROUGH
00:50:31 DECEMBER 31ST 2028 AND WOULD FUND RENOVATION WORK AT 1660
00:50:36 MISSION STREET WHERE THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH IS
00:50:40 GOING TO CO-LOCATE CLIENT FACING BEHAVIORAL HEALTH
00:50:41 SERVICES AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF, CITY
00:50:44 CLINIC AND A SOBERING CENTER. YOU CAN SEE ON PAGE 23 OF OUR
00:50:50 REPORT HOW THIS GRANT WILL FUND THE OVERALL PROJECT.
00:50:54 SO THIS IS AN $11.2 MILLION GRANT.
00:50:56 THE OVERALL PROJECT COST INCLUDING THE ACQUISITION OF
00:51:00 THE SITE IS ABOUT $106 MILLION. THAT'S ABOUT $20 MILLION MORE
00:51:04 THAN THE ESTIMATES THAT WERE PROVIDED BY H AT THE TIME OF
00:51:08 THE PURCHASE LAST SEPTEMBER OR BECAUSE THEY AND THE DEPARTMENT
00:51:12 OF PUBLIC WORKS HAVE OPTED TO DO VOLUNTARY SEISMIC WORK ON
00:51:15 THE BUILDING AND THEN ADD A STAIRCASE TO REDUCE DEMAND ON
00:51:19 THE ELEVATORS. >> WE DO.
00:51:22 OH ONE OTHER THING I WANT TO MENTION IS THAT THIS GRANT
00:51:24 REQUIRES A 10% MATCH SO THE CITY HAS TO PUT IN AT LEAST
00:51:29 $1.12 MILLION. YOU CAN SEE ON THE TABLE ON
00:51:32 PAGE 23 OF THE REPORT THAT THAT IS MORE THAN BEING MET BECAUSE
00:51:37 THE CITY IS PUTTING IN OVER $33 MILLION AND HOMELESSNESS GROSS
00:51:40 RECEIPTS TAX AS WELL AS ABOUT $20 MILLION IN GENERAL
00:51:44 OBLIGATION BONDS. >> SO WE DO RECOMMEND APPROVAL
00:51:45 OF ITEM 13. >> THANK YOU MR. MINOT
00:51:48 SUPERVISOR SAUTER THANK YOU CHAIR AND THANK YOU FOR THIS
00:51:51 PRESENTATION. I THINK THE IDEA OF LOCATING
00:51:54 ALL THESE SERVICES TOGETHER IN ONE CENTER IS IT'S REALLY
00:51:58 EXCITING AND A FEW QUESTIONS THOUGH IN TERMS OF THE ALL OF
00:52:02 THESE DIFFERENT TENANTS THAT ARE COMING TOGETHER UNDER ONE
00:52:04 ROOF, WHAT HAPPENS TO THEIR PRIOR SPACES ARE THERE SAVINGS
00:52:08 WE WILL RECEIVE FROM THAT OR ARE OTHER LOCAL OR OTHER
00:52:13 SERVICES MOVING TO THOSE PRIOR LOCATIONS?
00:52:17 >> TELL ME ABOUT THAT PLEASE. YEAH, DEFINITELY SO THE VAST
00:52:18 MAJORITY OF THE SERVICES THAT ARE COLLECTED WILL BE CO-LOCATE
00:52:21 IN THE SPACE ALREADY EXIST AT 1380 HOWARD STREET AND SO THAT
00:52:25 SPACE WILL BE VACATED. I BELIEVE THERE IS STILL A RENT
00:52:29 AGREEMENT THAT HAS A FEW MORE YEARS ON IT AND AFTER THAT I
00:52:32 DON'T BELIEVE THE CITY INTENDS TO CONTINUE IT AND SO THERE
00:52:33 WILL BE SAVINGS FROM THAT. THE SOBERING CENTER IS A NEW
00:52:37 ITEM THAT DOESN'T HAVE A CURRENT SPACE.
00:52:40 IT'S THIS WAS SUBMITTED SEVERAL YEARS AGO PRIOR TO OTHER
00:52:43 SOBERING CENTERS IN THE CITY OPENING AND STILL IS
00:52:47 IN DISCUSSION OF WHAT THAT MODEL WILL LOOK LIKE.
00:52:48 SO THAT IS THAT IS THE ONE NEW SERVICE IN THIS BUILDING.
00:52:51 CITY CLINIC ALSO IS RELOCATING FROM THEIR PRIOR SPACE THAT
00:52:55 WILL BE LOCATED THIS BUILDING AND I BELIEVE THERE WILL BE
00:52:58 COST SAVINGS IS THERE AS WELL. >> OKAY.
00:52:59 SO THE SOBERING CENTER THAT'S DETAILED HERE WOULD BE DISTINCT
00:53:03 FROM THE CURRENT RESEARCH CENTER.
00:53:06 THIS IS A SEPARATE SOMEWHAT DIFFERENT MODEL PERHAPS STILL
00:53:10 BEING WORKED OUT, STILL BEING WORKED OUT.
00:53:11 >> THE GRANT WAS SUBMITTED AND AWARDED PRIOR TO THE RECENT
00:53:14 MODEL BEING DEVELOPED AND PART OF THE AGREEMENT OF RECEIVING
00:53:18 THE GRANT WAS THAT IT WOULD BE FULLY INTEGRATED INTO THE OTHER
00:53:21 BEHAVIOR HEALTH SERVICES THERE. SO SOME DISTINCTIONS WOULD BE
00:53:25 IT WILL BE RUN BY THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH SO
00:53:26 IT CAN FULLY INTEGRATE TO AND BE UTILIZED BY PEOPLE ALSO
00:53:29 ACCESSING SERVICES IN THE BUILDING THAT SAID, WE'RE
00:53:32 INTENTIONALLY DESIGNING THE SPACE TO BE FLEXIBLE SO IT
00:53:34 WOULD INCLUDE THE OPTION TO HAVE LAW ENFORCEMENT DROP OFF
00:53:38 SIMILAR TO THE RESEARCH CENTER AND ALSO REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO
00:53:41 DEVELOPING THAT MORE AND LEARNING FROM DIFFERENT
00:53:42 MODELS OF WHAT'S EFFECTIVE AND NEEDED BY PATIENTS.
00:53:44 >> AND DO YOU HAVE ANY ESTIMATE ON THE SIZE YET?
00:53:48 I MEAN I THINK THE RESEARCH CENTER CURRENTLY HAS 25 OR SO
00:53:51 PATIENTS. >> WOULD THIS BE A SIMILAR SIZE
00:53:52 THIS WOULD BE 16 BEDS SO WILL BE SMALLER AND THAT'S ALL THE
00:53:56 SPACE DID ALLOW FOR. >> OKAY.
00:53:59 THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING THOSE QUESTIONS.
00:54:00 THANK YOU. SUPERVISOR SUTTER JUST IT WAS
00:54:03 MY UNDERSTANDING THERE RE 48 TREATMENT SLOTS WAS THAT NOT
00:54:07 THE SOBERING CENTER OR IS THAT SOMETHING ELSE?
00:54:09 I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING ELSE THIS THERE'S NOT SPACE FOR 48
00:54:13 BEDS AT LEAST IN THE SOBERING CENTER THERE ARE ABOUT 25 EXAM
00:54:16 OR INTAKE OR ASSESSMENT ROOMS THAT CAN BE SEEN BY PATIENTS.
00:54:19 THERE'S THERE'S MANY HUNDREDS OF PATIENTS THAT COULD BE SEEN
00:54:22 IN THE PHARMACY ON A WEEKLY BASIS.
00:54:23 SO I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE 48 NUMBER COMES FROM.
00:54:26 >> YEAH, SORRY ABOUT THAT. SO WHO WILL OPERATE THE
00:54:30 SOBERING CENTER WILL OVERSEE IT WILL OPERATE.
00:54:34 >> IT WILL AS YET TO BE DETERMINED WHO WILL BE THE
00:54:38 CONTRACTED PROVIDER IN THAT SPACE.
00:54:40 >> CAN YOU GIVE ME A SORT OF A TIMELINE WITH WHEN THE PROCESS
00:54:42 WILL BEGIN AND WHEN WHEN WE'RE LOOKING TO IMPLEMENT THIS?
00:54:45 >> YEAH, OUR HOPES TO OPEN THIS SPACE IN LATE 2028 AND SO WE
00:54:51 STILL HAVE ABOUT TWO YEARS TO PLAN.
00:54:53 WE'RE IN THE ACTIVE PLANNING PHASE OF THE SPACE AND ACTIVE
00:54:56 DISCUSSIONS WITH ALL THE SERVICES THAT WILL BE CO-LOCATE
00:54:59 IN THERE AND THROUGHOUT THE NEXT TWO YEARS WE'LL BE
00:55:01 DISCUSSING THE SUBMARINE CENTER MODEL AS WELL.
00:55:04 >> OKAY. I WAS GOING TO MAYBE PURSUE HOW
00:55:07 THIS WOULD WORK WITH THE RESEARCH CENTER BUT IT SOUNDS
00:55:08 LIKE WE'RE NOT WE'RE THIS IS STILL IN CONVERSATION.
00:55:12 >> WE'RE STILL IN CONVERSATION PHASE.
00:55:13 CORRECT. BUT OPEN TO ONGOING
00:55:15 CONVERSATIONS AS WELL. >> OKAY.
00:55:18 I THINK THAT IS IT. I APPRECIATE YOUR WORK ON THIS.
00:55:23 I SEEING NO ONE ELSE ON THE ROSTER WITH QUESTIONS OR
00:55:24 COMMENTS. MR. KIRK MAYBE INVITE A PUBLIC
00:55:27 COMMENT ON ITEM 13 YES WE ARE NOW OPENING PUBLIC COMMENT FOR
00:55:31 THIS ITEM NUMBER 13 IF WE HAVE ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WHO
00:55:32 WISH TO ADDRESS THIS COMMITTEE .
00:55:37 MR. CHAIR, WE HAVE NO SPEAKERS. THANK YOU MR. CLERK FOR PUBLIC
00:55:40 COMMENT ON THIS ITEM IS NOW CLOSED AND AT THIS TIME I WOULD
00:55:44 LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO FORWARD ITEM 13 TO THE FULL
00:55:47 BOARD OF SUPERVISORS WITH OUR POSITIVE RECOMMENDATION.

00:56:16 HOUSING AUTHORITY AND THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELESSNESS
00:56:19 AND SUPPORTIVE HOUSING FOR RENTAL SUBSIDIES AND OTHER
00:56:21 SUPPORTS NEEDED TO SUPPORT TENANTS AS PART OF THE
00:56:24 TRANSITION OF EMERGENCY HOUSING VOUCHERS APPROVING A TERM OF
00:56:27 OCTOBER 1ST 2026 THROUGH JUNE 30TH 2029 AND A TOTAL NOT TO
00:56:34 EXCEED AMOUNT OF 28.75 MILLION AND AUTHORIZING EACH HOUSE EACH
00:56:37 TO ENTER INTO ANY AMENDMENTS OR OTHER MODIFICATIONS TO THE
00:56:39 AMENDMENT THAT DO NOT MATERIALLY INCREASE THE
00:56:42 OBLIGATIONS NOR LIABILITIES OR MATERIALLY DECREASE THE
00:56:45 BENEFITS TO THE CITY THAT ARE NECESSARY OR ADVISABLE TO
00:56:49 EFFECTUATE THE PURPOSES OF THE AGREEMENT.
00:56:50 >> MR. CHAIR. >> THANK YOU, MR. CLERK.
00:56:54 AND WE ARE JOINED FOR THIS ITEM BY EMILY COHEN WHO IS THE
00:56:57 DEPUTY DIRECTOR FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELESSNESS
00:56:58 IN SUPPORT OF HOUSING. >> MS. COHEN WELCOME TO THE
00:57:01 BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE. THE FLOOR IS YOURS.
00:57:04 GOOD MORNING CHURCH DORSEY GOOD MORNING SUPERVISORS EMILY COHEN
00:57:08 WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELESSNESS AND SUPPORT OF
00:57:09 HOUSING AND I BEFORE YOU TODAY WITH A RESOLUTION THAT WOULD
00:57:12 AUTHORIZE ACH TO ENTER INTO A GRANT AGREEMENT WITH THE SAN
00:57:16 FRANCISCO HOUSING AUTHORITY TO ENSURE CONTINUED HOUSING
00:57:20 STABILITY FOR SAN FRANCISCO HOUSEHOLDS ENROLLED
00:57:23 IN EMERGENCY HOUSING VOUCHERS WHICH IS A FEDERAL RENTAL
00:57:24 SUBSIDY. THIS AGREEMENT WAS HEARD
00:57:27 AND APPROVED BY THE HOMELESSNESS OVERSIGHT
00:57:28 COMMISSION IN AUGUST. >> THE RESOLUTION TERM IS
00:57:35 THROUGH JUNE 30TH 2029 WITH THE NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT OF 28.75
00:57:39 MILLION. >> AND AGAIN AN AGREEMENT
00:57:43 BETWEEN HCA AND THE HOUSING AUTHORITY.
00:57:46 >> COMING OUT OF COVID, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HUD ISSUED A
00:57:51 NEW PROGRAM CALLED EMERGENCY HOUSING VOUCHERS AND THESE ARE
00:57:54 NON TIME LIMITED RENTAL SUBSIDIES FUNDED THROUGH THE
00:57:58 FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. IT WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED TO
00:58:00 RUN THROUGH 2030. THE THERE HAS BEEN NO NEW
00:58:06 RESOURCES ALLOCATED AND HUD SPENT THEIR RESOURCES FASTER
00:58:10 THAN ANTICIPATED AND THE PROGRAM IS ENDING AT THE
00:58:14 FEDERAL LEVEL. SO WITH SUPPORT OF THIS BODY
00:58:17 AND THE MAYOR'S OFFICE, HHS INCLUDED ABOUT $27 MILLION
00:58:20 IN LAST YEAR'S BUDGET TO SERVE AS AN EMERGENCY FUND TO HELP
00:58:25 ENSURE THESE FAMILIES DON'T RETURN TO HOMELESSNESS.
00:58:31 AND THAT IS WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING TO DO.
00:58:34 WITH THE FUNDING IN THIS GRANT AGREEMENT, THE EMERGENCY
00:58:39 HOUSING VOUCHERS HAVE BEEN INCREDIBLY SUCCESSFUL.
00:58:43 WE WERE ABLE TO LEASE THEM UP RELATIVELY QUICKLY, MOVE
00:58:46 HUNDREDS OF HOUSEHOLDS OUT OF HOMELESSNESS AND INTO STABLE
00:58:50 RENTAL APARTMENTS THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY.
00:58:54 WE DO NOT OBVIOUSLY WANT ANYONE TO FALL BACK INTO HOMELESSNESS
00:58:58 BECAUSE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS DECIDED NOT TO FUND THIS
00:59:01 PROGRAM ANYMORE. >> THAT SAID, WHAT WE ARE
00:59:02 PROPOSING TO DO WITH THE 27 MILLION IS PROVIDE BRIDGE
00:59:06 FUNDING TO KEEP PEOPLE HOUSED AND CONTINUE TO PAY THEIR
00:59:12 SUBSIDIES WHILE WE TRANSITION THEM TO OTHER FEDERAL HOUSING
00:59:14 VOUCHERS AS THEY BECOME AVAILABLE.
00:59:17 SO IN THIS MONTH WE TRANSITION 90 HOUSEHOLDS TO NEW FEDERAL
00:59:20 VOUCHERS. >> WE ANTICIPATE 300 MORE BY
00:59:23 THE END OF THE YEAR. AND THEN NEXT YEAR, AS MORE
00:59:27 FEDERAL VOUCHERS TURN OVER OR BECOME AVAILABLE, FOLKS
00:59:30 IN EMERGENCY HOUSING VOUCHERS WILL TRANSITION INTO THOSE
00:59:34 SLOTS. THE GOAL BEING THAT NOBODY HAS
00:59:35 TO MOVE. ESSENTIALLY THE VOUCHER CHANGES
00:59:38 ON THE BACK END BUT PEOPLE'S LIVES AND TENANCIES AREN'T
00:59:42 DISRUPTED BECAUSE OF THIS CHANGE AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL.
00:59:46 THIS HAS TAKEN A GREAT DEAL OF CREATIVE CHALLENGING WORK BOTH
00:59:50 IN TERMS OF THE FUND TO BRIDGE BUT ALSO WORKING CLOSELY WITH
00:59:54 THE HOUSING AUTHORITY TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE THE FEDERALLY
01:00:01 FUNDED VOUCHERS TO KEEP PEOPLE HOUSED REALLY PROUD OF THE WORK
01:00:02 THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO ON THIS PROJECT AND THRILLED THAT
01:00:05 WE HAVE A REALLY STRONG PATHWAY FORWARD FOR ALL OF THE
01:00:09 INCREDIBLY VULNERABLE HOUSEHOLDS THAT HAVE BEEN
01:00:12 HOUSED USING THIS PROGRAM. >> JUST TO GIVE A LITTLE
01:00:14 OVERVIEW OF WHO THESE HOUSEHOLDS ARE, THE YOU KNOW
01:00:20 THE MAJORITY OF HOUSEHOLDS ARE HOUSED IN DISTRICTS TEN AND SIX
01:00:26 USING THESE FLEXIBLE VOUCHERS. >> AFRICAN-AMERICANS MAKE UP
01:00:31 THE LARGEST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE USING THE VOUCHERS AND IT IS
01:00:34 JUST JUST OVER HALF FAMILIES AND THE REST SINGLE ADULTS
01:00:39 AND YOUTH AND SURVIVORS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AS WELL WERE
01:00:42 PRIORITIES FOR THE PLACEMENTS. AND HERE YOU CAN SEE WE'VE DONE
01:00:46 A REALLY GREAT JOB OF KEEPING HOUSEHOLDS LARGELY IN SAN
01:00:53 FRANCISCO ONLY A SMALL NUMBER OF PORTED TO OTHER HOUSING
01:00:54 AUTHORITIES. SO AGAIN I THINK THIS
01:00:58 REPRESENTS A GREAT WAY OF KEEPING LOCALLY LOCAL FAMILIES
01:01:01 AND HOUSEHOLDS STABLY HOUSED IN OUR COMMUNITY AND GLAD THAT
01:01:05 WE HAVE A STRATEGY HERE THAT WILL I CAN'T GUARANTEE BUT
01:01:12 LARGELY PROTECT ANYONE FROM FALLING OUT OF THE VOUCHER BACK
01:01:16 INTO HOMELESSNESS WHEN WE TRANSITION THE SUBSIDIES.
01:01:17 AND HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS.
01:01:20 >> OKAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
01:01:23 >> NEXT WE'LL HEAR FROM THE BUDGET AND LEGISLATIVE ANALYST
01:01:24 MR. MINYARD. >> ITEM 14 IS A RESOLUTION THAT
01:01:30 APPROVES A GRANT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE HOUSING AUTHORITY
01:01:33 AND THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELESSNESS AND SUPPORTIVE
01:01:35 HOUSING. THE GRANT RUNS FROM OCTOBER
01:01:37 1ST, 2026 THROUGH JUNE 2029 AND HAS A NOT TO EXCEED VALUE
01:01:43 OF $28.8 MILLION. THE PURPOSE OF THE GRANT IS TO
01:01:44 TRANSFER FUNDS FROM HCA TO THE HOUSING AUTHORITY TO PROVIDE
01:01:48 TEMPORARY RENTAL SUBSIDIES AS HOUSEHOLD AS HOUSEHOLDS ARE
01:01:52 TRANSITIONED FROM EMERGENCY HOUSING VOUCHERS TO OTHER
01:01:55 FEDERALLY FUNDED SUBSIDIES. SO THE PLAN IS SUCH THAT THE
01:02:02 HOUSEHOLDS WOULD ONLY TEMPORARILY BE SUPPORTED BY
01:02:03 LOCALLY FUNDED RENTAL SUBSIDIES AND THEN BE ON PERMANENTLY
01:02:07 FUNDED RENTALS, FEDERALLY FUNDED AND RENTAL SUBSIDIES.
01:02:11 WE SHOW THE EXPECTED DRAWDOWN OF THE GRANT.
01:02:14 ON PAGE 28 OF OUR REPORT. THE GRANT IS ENTIRELY FUNDED BY
01:02:19 HOMELESSNESS GROSS RECEIPTS TAX.
01:02:19 >> AND WE RECOMMEND APPROVAL. THANK YOU MR. MINARD.
01:02:23 SUPERVISOR SAUTER THANK YOU CHAIR.
01:02:26 AND I SIMPLY WANT TO THANK HCA FOR THEIR WORK ON THIS.
01:02:29 I KNOW THIS WAS A SCRAMBLE OF SORTS AND IS INCREDIBLY
01:02:34 IMPORTANT. >> WE HEARD FROM A NUMBER OF
01:02:35 THE FAMILIES THAT WOULD BE IMPACTED BY THIS AND AND I
01:02:38 APPRECIATE YOU STEPPING UP TO DO THIS WORK THAT THAT OUR
01:02:42 FEDERAL AGENCIES HAVE ABANDONED.
01:02:45 >> THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
01:02:46 SUPERVISOR SORRY. SO I KNOW THAT THE BILL NOTES
01:02:50 THAT THE TRANSITION PLAN DEPENDS ON PENDING FEDERAL
01:02:53 HOUSING APPROPRIATIONS. CAN I ASK WHAT ASSUMPTIONS
01:02:57 WE'RE MAKING ABOUT THE NUMBER OF REPLACEMENT VOUCHERS THAT
01:02:58 SAN FRANCISCO EXPECTS TO RECEIVE?
01:03:04 >> I THINK THE MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE FEDERAL APPROPRIATION
01:03:08 PROCESS THAT THEY DON'T APPROPRIATE A NUMBER A NUMBER
01:03:12 OF VOUCHERS. THEY DO A KIND OF TOP LEVEL
01:03:13 APPROPRIATION FOR HUD THAT THEN TRANSLATES INTO VOUCHERS AT THE
01:03:19 LOCAL LEVEL BASED ON YOU KNOW, PAST THE PAST PRACTICE HAS BEEN
01:03:26 THAT THE THAT THE LOCAL HOUSING AUTHORITIES WILL CONTINUE TO
01:03:30 GET FUNDING FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE ALREADY ON THE ROLLS.
01:03:34 BUT IT IS THERE IS THERE IS SOME APPROPRIATION RISK BECAUSE
01:03:35 THE HOUSING THE FEDERAL HOUSING APPROPRIATION BILL HAS NOT BEEN
01:03:38 FINALIZED YET. OKAY.
01:03:42 >> OKAY. THANK YOU, MR. MINARD.
01:03:45 THANK YOU, MS. COHEN. SEEING NO ONE ON THE ROSTER
01:03:47 WITH FURTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, MR. CLERK, MAY WE
01:03:50 INVITE A PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ITEM JUST FOR OPENING PUBLIC
01:03:53 COMMENT FOR THIS ITEM NUMBER 14 IF WE HAVE ANY MEMBERS OF THE
01:03:57 PUBLIC WHO WISH ADDRESS THIS COMMITTEE.
01:03:58 MR. CHAIR, WE HAVE NO SPEAKERS. >> THANK YOU, MR. CLERK.
01:04:01 PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ITEM IS NOW CLOSED AND I WOULD LIKE TO
01:04:05 MAKE A MOTION TO FORWARD THIS ITEM TO THE FULL BOARD OF
01:04:09 SUPERVISORS WITH OUR POSITIVE RECOMMENDATION.
01:04:12 MR. CLERK, MAY WE HAVE A ROLL CALL ON THAT MOTION AND ON THAT
01:04:14 MOTION THAT WE REFERRED THIS RESOLUTION TO THE FULL BOARD
01:04:17 WITH RECOMMENDATION VICE CHAIR CHEN CHEN.
01:04:21 I REMEMBER SENATOR SADR I CHAIR DORSEY HI DORSEY I WE HAVE
01:04:25 THREE EYES. >> THANK YOU MR. CLERK THE
01:04:26 MOTION PASSES. >> MR. CLERK WOULD YOU PLEASE
01:04:29 CALL ITEM NUMBER 15? YES, I KNOW NUMBER 15 IS AN
01:04:32 ORDINANCE AMENDING THE LABOR AND EMPLOYMENT CODE TO REQUIRE
01:04:36 PREVAILING WAGES IN CITY CONTRACTS AND GRANTS FOR STREET
01:04:39 CLEANING SERVICES. >> MR. CHAIR.
01:04:40 THANK YOU, MR. CLERK. WE ARE JOINED BY THE SPONSOR OF
01:04:44 THIS ITEM, SUPERVISOR MYRNA MELGAR, OUR SUPERVISOR MELGAR
01:04:45 WELCOME TO THE BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE.
01:04:47 >> THE FLOOR IS YOURS. THANK YOU SO MUCH CHAIR DORSEY
01:04:51 THANK YOU FOR SCHEDULING THIS ITEM AND FOR HEARING IT.
01:04:54 I INTRODUCE THIS ITEM BACK IN JANUARY BECAUSE I BELIEVE
01:04:59 THAT WITH TAXPAYER MONEY WITH OUR CITY DOLLARS WE OWE THE
01:05:06 WORKERS WHO KEEP OUR STREETS CLEAN.
01:05:09 BASIC RESPECT WE OWE THEM DIGNITY.
01:05:14 WE OWE THEM JOB SECURITY. AND I THINK THAT THIS IS A
01:05:18 VALUE THAT WE'VE ALWAYS HELD IN SAN FRANCISCO AND I AM PROUD
01:05:22 TO SUPPORT THE WORKERS THAT ARE REPRESENTED BY LOCAL 261 THE
01:05:26 LABORERS THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
01:05:29 THIS ORDINANCE MANDATES THAT WHEN STREET CLEANING DEFINED AS
01:05:33 POWER WASHING AND STEAM CLEANING IS DONE WITH SAN
01:05:38 FRANCISCO TAXPAYER MONEY, THE WORKERS WILL GET PREVAILING
01:05:42 WAGE. IT'S PRETTY SIMPLE AND PRETTY
01:05:45 STRAIGHTFORWARD. IT DOESN'T PROHIBIT YOU KNOW
01:05:49 THAT ANYONE DOES THIS WITH PRIVATE MONEY WITH OTHER MONIES
01:05:56 . IT JUST SAYS WHEN WE'RE PUTTING
01:05:57 TAXPAYER DOLLARS INTO IT. PREVAILING WAGE WILL BE PAID
01:06:00 AND THAT IS A DETERRENT TO HAVING THE BASIC FUNCTION OF
01:06:05 CLEANING OUR STREET WHICH IS AN EXPECTATION THAT WE ALL HAVE OF
01:06:09 THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO THAT IF WE ARE
01:06:13 UNDERCUTTING THE PREVAILING WAGE OF THE WORKERS THAT THEY
01:06:17 HAVE NEGOTIATED THROUGH THE COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT
01:06:21 THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO THAT ON THE BACKS OF OUR MOST
01:06:24 VULNERABLE WORKERS, ON THE LOWEST PAID WORKERS THAT BELONG
01:06:28 TO THE BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION TRADES.
01:06:29 >> SO I SINCE I INTRODUCED THIS IN JANUARY I HAVE TAKEN GREAT
01:06:33 PAINS TO NEGOTIATE ALL OF THE LITTLE CHALLENGES AND ISSUES
01:06:40 THAT ROSE UP IN OPERATIONALIZING THIS
01:06:43 LEGISLATION. THE AMENDMENTS THAT I HAVE
01:06:45 SHARED WITH YOU ALL ARE THE PRODUCT OF THESE NEGOTIATIONS.
01:06:52 >> I WANT TO THANK THE LEADERSHIP OF MY UNIT TO 61 FOR
01:06:55 THE NEGOTIATIONS ALONG WITH THE MAYOR'S OFFICE SEVERAL
01:06:59 NONPROFITS INCLUDING C Y C THE TENDERLOIN COMMUNITY BENEFITS
01:07:04 DISTRICT AND MISSION HIRING HALL MICHELLE BELL AND ALSO OUR
01:07:11 CITY ADMINISTRATORS OFFICE, OUR PLACE STAFF THEY ALL WEIGHED
01:07:15 IN TO THIS AND THE MAYOR'S OFFICE EVERYONE SORT OF HELPED
01:07:18 SHAPE WHAT IS BEFORE YOU AND SO WHAT HAS CHANGED FOR THESE
01:07:23 AMENDMENTS REFLECT IS AS FOLLOWS.
01:07:26 FIRST WE REDEFINE WHAT A WORKFORCE PROGRAM IS AND WITH
01:07:31 THAT I WORK WITH C Y C TEMPORARILY CBD AND MISSION
01:07:35 HIRING HALL IN MAKING SURE THAT WORKFORCE PROGRAMS LEAD TO HAVE
01:07:42 A PATH TOWARDS A DIGNIFIED JOB AT THE END THAT FOLKS ARE NOT
01:07:46 PUT IN THE POSITION OF WORKING FOR A NINE YEARS LEARNING HOW
01:07:49 TO CLEAN A TOILET AND THEN THERE'S NO OTHER JOB AT THE
01:07:53 END. SO I THINK THAT'S A BASIC
01:07:54 DIGNITY ISSUE. BUT IN WORKING WITH THE
01:07:57 NONPROFITS WHO DO THIS REALLY IMPORTANT WORK, I TOOK GREAT
01:08:00 PAINS TO TRY TO HELP THEM. SO THE OUTCOME I THINK WILL
01:08:05 LEAVE THEM IN A BETTER POSITION.
01:08:06 THEY WILL NOW GET A THREE YEAR CONTRACT INSTEAD OF ONE.
01:08:09 THEIR GOALS WILL BE MORE CLOSELY FOLLOW AND THEY'LL GET
01:08:12 MORE SUPPORT FROM THEIR DEPARTMENTS AND I THINK THAT
01:08:15 THAT'S A REALLY GOOD THING. >> WE EXEMPTED CBDS FOR THE
01:08:23 ACTIVITIES OF STREET CLEANING THAT THEY PERFORM WITH THE
01:08:27 MONEY THAT IS COLLECTED FROM CBD ASSESSED SINCE WE EXEMPTED
01:08:31 THOSE CBD INCLUDING FROM THE PREVAILING WAGE REQUIREMENT
01:08:36 AND THE CERTIFICATED PAYROLL REQUIREMENT WHEN THEY'RE USING
01:08:40 THE ASSESSMENT MONEY THEY WE ADOPTED ALL OF THE RECOMMENDED
01:08:47 ACTIONS OF THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR INCLUDING THE
01:08:51 ONES THAT MAKE IT MORE EASY FOR THEM TO ADMINISTER FOR THEIR
01:08:56 DAY TO DAY FOR ALL THOSE CONTRACTS THAT COME UNDER THE
01:09:00 DELEGATED AUTHORITY THRESHOLD FOR FOR ALL OF THE COMMUNITY
01:09:04 CHALLENGED GRANTS, ALL OF THOSE THINGS ARE EXEMPTED.
01:09:08 SO THIS LEGISLATION ACTION RIGHT NOW DOES NOT POSE ANY
01:09:13 REQUIREMENTS TO EXISTING CBDS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE
01:09:17 TENDERLOIN CBD BECAUSE OF THEIR WORKFORCE PROGRAM BUT THEY'RE
01:09:21 EXEMPTED BECAUSE THEY'RE A WORK FORCE PROGRAM.
01:09:24 SO WHAT THIS LEGISLATION DOES IT IT PROVIDES A FRAMEWORK SO
01:09:29 WHEN FUTURE ATTEMPTS ARE MADE TO PRIVATIZE THE WORK THAT IS
01:09:33 CURRENTLY BEING DONE BY CITY WORKERS, THE FOLKS ON THE
01:09:40 OUTSIDE WHO ARE RECEIVING THESE PRIVATE CONTRACTS FOR CITY
01:09:41 WORKERS HAVE TO PAY THEIR WORKERS PREVAILING WAGE.
01:09:48 IT IS AN ISSUE OF DIGNITY AND THE RESPECT FOR OUR
01:09:52 COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT.
01:09:53 >> SO WITH THAT I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
01:09:57 I SEE LOTS OF FOLKS HERE WHO DO THIS KIND OF WORK.
01:10:01 I WILL YOU KNOW IT WAS A COINCIDENCE THAT YESTERDAY WE
01:10:05 ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, DID A SPECIAL COMMENDATION FOR ONE OF
01:10:11 THE TEAMS AND THIS GROUP OF WORKER WHO CLEANED THE CASTRO
01:10:12 CBD OR CASTRO STREET AND I DON'T THINK IT'S A COINCIDENCE
01:10:18 BECAUSE THESE FOLKS ARE OUT THERE EVERY DAY IN COMMUNITIES.
01:10:19 I KNOW THE FOLKS WHO CLEAN 24TH STREET ADMISSION AND GAS
01:10:23 BECAUSE THESE FOLKS ARE YOU KNOW, THERE EVERY DAY THEY KNOW
01:10:27 THAT MARK AS YOU KNOW THEIR NEIGHBORS THEY SAY HELLO.
01:10:31 YOU KNOW THEY THEY KNOW THE PATTERNS OF THE STREET.
01:10:35 SO THEY'RE AN IMPORTANT PART OF OUR COMMUNITY AND WE WANT TO
01:10:37 MAKE SURE THAT IT STAYS THAT WAY.
01:10:39 SO COLLEAGUES, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR
01:10:43 CONCERNS THAT THANK YOU AND RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR
01:10:55 SUPPORT. >> GREAT.
01:10:56 THANKS. NEXT WE WILL HEAR FROM THE
01:11:00 BUDGET AND LEGISLATIVE ANALYST MR. BERNARD SORRY.
01:11:04 >> GOOD MORNING SUPERVISORS CHRISTINA MALEMA FROM THE
01:11:08 BUDGET AND LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S OFFICE.
01:11:09 THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE WOULD AMEND THE LABOR AND EMPLOYMENT
01:11:12 CODE TO REQUIRE PREVAILING WAGES AND CITY CONTRACTS
01:11:15 AND GRANTS FOR STREET CLEANING SERVICES WHICH ARE DEFINED AS
01:11:19 POWER WASHING, STEAM CLEANING AND BULK WASTE REMOVAL.
01:11:21 >> THE ORDINANCE WOULD APPLY TO FUTURE CONTRACTS AND GRANTS BUT
01:11:25 NOT EXISTING AGREEMENTS. AND THEN AS SUPERVISOR MELGAR
01:11:28 WAS DETAILING, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF EXEMPTIONS FOR
01:11:32 AGREEMENTS INCLUDING EXEMPTIONS FOR WORKFORCE GRANTS PROVIDED
01:11:36 THEY MEET CERTAIN CRITERIA AND THE ORDINANCE ALSO
01:11:39 EXEMPTIONS FOR AGREEMENTS WHERE THE STREET CLEANING SERVICES
01:11:43 ARE CONSIDERED INCIDENTAL TO THE OTHER DUTIES ARE PERFORMING
01:11:47 AND OTHER EXEMPTIONS AS WELL. WHAT THIS MEANS IS THAT
01:11:51 BUSINESSES HAVING HAVING FUTURE CONTRACTS OR GRANTS WITH THE
01:11:56 CITY TO PROVIDE STREET CLEANING SERVICES WILL HAVE TO PAY THEIR
01:11:59 EMPLOYEES AT LEAST THE PREVAILING WAGE RATE WHICH WILL
01:12:00 BE ESTABLISHED BY THE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION.
01:12:03 >> AND IF THE RATES OF THE IF THE PREVAILING WAGE RATES
01:12:07 EXCEED THE CURRENT COMPENSATIONS OF THEIR
01:12:10 EMPLOYEES, THAT COULD INCREASE THE COSTS OF THOSE CONTRACTS OR
01:12:14 GRANTS FOR THE CITY. THE CITY COULD ALSO ELECT TO
01:12:19 PROVIDE THOSE SERVICES WITH CITY STAFF WHICH AGAIN COULD BE
01:12:22 A WHICH WOULD BE AN INCREASED COST RELATIVE IF THE WAGE RATES
01:12:26 ARE LOWER THAN THE PREVAILING WAGE RATES.
01:12:30 OR THE CITY COULD ELECT TO KIND OF REDUCE THOSE SERVICE LEVELS
01:12:34 TO AVOID COST INCREASES AND THAT WILL ALL BE KIND OF
01:12:38 SUBJECT TO FOR FUTURE DETERMINATIONS OF THE OFFICE OF
01:12:42 LABOR STANDARDS ENFORCEMENT DETERMINE SORT OF WHAT GRANTS
01:12:46 OR CONTRACTS WOULD BE IMPACTED BY THE ORDINANCE.
01:12:49 WE DID KIND OF SURVEY CITY DEPARTMENTS FOR THEIR EXISTING
01:12:53 GRANTS AND CONTRACTS JUST TO GET A SENSE OF WHAT THE
01:12:55 POTENTIAL IMPACT COULD BE ALTHOUGH AGAIN THESE SPECIFIC
01:12:58 GRANTS AND CONTRACTS WOULD NOT BE IMPACTED BY THE ORDINANCE.
01:13:05 >> AND THERE ARE YOU KNOW, MOST OF THE AGREEMENTS THAT WE
01:13:09 IDENTIFIED WE THINK WOULD PROBABLY QUALIFY FOR SOME OF
01:13:12 THE EXEMPTIONS THAT ARE MENTIONED IN THE ORDINANCE
01:13:15 ALTHOUGH WE DID KIND OF LOOK AT SOME CONTINGENCIES IN CASE SOME
01:13:17 OF THOSE AGREEMENTS DON'T QUALIFY FOR EXEMPTIONS.
01:13:20 SO FOR EXAMPLE, PUBLIC WORKS HAS A NUMBER OF WORK FORCE
01:13:24 GRANTS AND IF THEY DON'T MEET THE PERFORMANCE CRITERIA IN THE
01:13:27 ORDINANCE NAMELY THAT, YOU KNOW, EMPLOYEES ARE STAYING
01:13:34 IN THE ART THAT REQUIRES THAT EMPLOYEES KIND OF LEAVE THE
01:13:38 PROGRAM WITHIN THREE YEARS AND THAT THERE'S A JOB
01:13:41 PLACEMENT RATE OF 51%. THOSE AGREEMENTS DON'T MEET THE
01:13:43 CRITERIA AND WE KIND OF KEEP THOSE SAME SERVICE LEVELS.
01:13:47 THOSE TOTAL COSTS COULD GO UP BY $8.9 MILLION ANNUALLY
01:13:52 AND THEN THE KIND OF SECOND BUCKET OF AGREEMENTS THAT COULD
01:13:56 POTENTIALLY QUALIFY FOR AGREEMENT ARE THE AMBASSADOR
01:13:57 CONTRACTS THESE AMBASSADORS IN THE SCOPE OF SERVICES.
01:14:01 THEY'RE NOT PERFORMING STEP POWER WASHING OR STEAM CLEANING
01:14:04 AND THEY'RE BUT THEY'RE PICKING UP LITTER.
01:14:08 SO IF THAT'S CONSIDERED INCIDENTAL TO THEIR DUTIES,
01:14:11 THEY MAY QUALIFY FOR THAT EXEMPTION.
01:14:12 BUT IF IT'S NOT CONSIDERED INCIDENTAL TO THEIR DUTIES IN A
01:14:16 FUTURE DETERMINATION THERE COULD ALSO BE AN IMPACT TO THE
01:14:20 COST OF THOSE PROGRAMS AS WELL ALTHOUGH IT WOULD BE SMALLER
01:14:21 THAN THE WORKFORCE GRANTS BECAUSE THEY SPEND LESS OF
01:14:24 THEIR TIME PERFORMING CLEANING SERVICES.
01:14:28 APPROVAL OF ITEM 15 IS A POLICY MATTER FOR THE BOARD OF
01:14:29 SUPERVISORS. >> GREAT.
01:14:32 THANK YOU. MS. MELLMAN TO VICE CHAIR CHEN
01:14:38 . >> THANK YOU.
01:14:39 THANK YOU. CHAIR DORSEY, ARE YOU REALLY
01:14:41 ALSO JUST WANT TO ECHO AND THANK SUPERVISOR MALKA FOR
01:14:45 CARING THIS LEGISLATION KEEPING OUR STREETS SAFE AND CLEAN?
01:14:50 IT'S ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PRIORITIES FOR SAN FRANCISCO'S
01:14:54 PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY. AND I BELIEVE SAN FRANCISCO'S
01:14:58 TO CONTINUE TO INVEST OUR PUBLIC DOLLAR IN SUPPORTING
01:15:00 LABOR STANDARDS. DISPELLING WAGE LEGISLATION
01:15:03 DEMONSTRATES OUR COMMITMENT TO MAKING THAT OUR STREET CLEANING
01:15:07 WORKERS ARE PAID FAIR WAGE BENEFITS THAT ALLOW YOU ALL TO
01:15:14 LIVE IN SAN FRANCISCO AND BE THRIVING IN SAN FRANCISCO.
01:15:18 I UNDERSTAND THAT WITH THE BUDGET AND AFFORDABILITY CRISIS
01:15:21 BOTH CONTINUE TO GROW IN SAN FRANCISCO WE NEED TO DO
01:15:26 EVERYTHING IN OUR POWER TO PROTECT A WORKFORCE THAT
01:15:30 CONTRIBUTED TO THE GREAT TO THE GREAT CITY OF SAN FRANCISCO.
01:15:34 SO I'M VERY PROUD TO SUPPORT THIS LEGISLATION AND MR. CLERK,
01:15:38 WOULD THAT WOULD YOU ALSO ASK ME AS A CO-SPONSOR TO THIS
01:15:39 BILL? >> THANKS.
01:15:52 >> THANK YOU. JUST FOR THE BOARD RULES
01:15:56 USUALLY EXPRESSIONS OF SUPPORT OR OPPOSITION ARE SORT OF LIKE
01:16:00 JAZZ HANDS AND WE FROWN ON SORT OF NO EXCEPT WHEN WE HAVE
01:16:07 CERTIFICATES OF HONOR AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.
01:16:08 SUPERVISOR SAUTER THANK YOU CHAIR AND THANKS FOR KEEPING US
01:16:12 ALL IN LINE. >> I WANT TO EXPRESS MY THANKS
01:16:15 TO SUPERVISOR MELGAR ON HER WORK ON THIS AS WELL.
01:16:19 YOU KNOW WHEN THIS CAME BEFORE US EARLIER THIS YEAR IT'S A
01:16:22 PIECE OF LEGISLATION THAT INVOLVES I THINK SOME OF OUR
01:16:26 MOST IMPORTANT ENTITIES IN THE CITY.
01:16:29 OUR WORKERS, OUR NONPROFITS, OUR COMMUNITY BENEFIT DISTRICTS
01:16:33 . AND YOU HAVE FOUND A WAY ALONG
01:16:37 THE WAY TO KIND OF GIVE EVERYONE A LITTLE BIT AND HAVE
01:16:42 EVERYONE TAKE A LITTLE BIT. AND I KNOW THERE'S STILL BITS
01:16:46 AND PIECES THAT EVERY INVOLVED PARTY WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME
01:16:47 TWEAKS AROUND THE EDGES BUT I THINK IT IS IN A REALLY GOOD
01:16:51 PLACE. I WILL BE SUPPORTING IT TODAY.
01:16:54 AND THIS IS YOU KNOW, THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS I HEAR MOST.
01:17:00 >> THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS I HEAR MOST FROM RESIDENTS
01:17:05 CONCERNS ABOUT CLEAN STREETS SAFE STREETS.
01:17:08 I THINK THIS STRENGTHENS OUR RESPONSE TO THAT.
01:17:10 I WANT TO THANK ALL OF THE LABORERS AND WORKERS WHO DO
01:17:13 THIS WORK EVERY SINGLE DAY. AND AGAIN THANK YOU SUPERVISOR
01:17:16 MELGAR. >> AND LOOK FORWARD TO
01:17:17 SUPPORTING. >> GREAT.
01:17:20 THANK YOU. AND I WILL SAY I HAVE I HAVE
01:17:24 HAD A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS.
01:17:27 BUT IN FAIRNESS, I'VE ALSO HAD SOME QUESTIONS ANSWERED TODAY.
01:17:30 SO I'M WONDERING I MAY HAVE SOME MORE QUESTIONS AFTER
01:17:34 PUBLIC COMMENT BUT FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH ONE AND I JUST
01:17:37 THERE'S A COUPLE OF THINGS I WANTED TO TEASE OUT AND I WILL
01:17:39 SAY I AS A LONG TIME CITY EMPLOYEE AND PHILOSOPHICALLY
01:17:45 AGAINST PRIVATIZATION OF CITY WORK, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I
01:17:50 REALLY BELIEVE IN AND I HOPE THAT I DEMONSTRATED THIS BEING
01:17:53 SERVING ON THE BUDGET COMMITTEE THAT WHEN WE HAVE TO MAKE CUTS
01:17:57 IN DIFFICULT YEARS I'M CONVINCED TO THE SAN FRANCISCO
01:18:00 GETS MORE BANG FOR THE TAXPAYERS BUCKS FOR OUR CITY
01:18:02 EMPLOYEES THAN FOR OUR CONTRACTORS AND I WILL BELIEVE
01:18:05 THAT FOREVER. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT I HAVE
01:18:08 SEEN IN MORE THAN 20 YEARS OF WORKING IN THE CITY AND COUNTY
01:18:12 OF SAN FRANCISCO. >> EARLY ON IN THIS PROCESS
01:18:15 THERE WERE REPRESENTATIONS TO ME THAT THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT
01:18:17 THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT DISTRICTS WOULD BE OKAY WITH.
01:18:20 IT IS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THERE IS THE CONCERNS THAT THEY
01:18:27 HAVE ABOUT THIS. I WILL SAY I AM ALSO AWARE THAT
01:18:28 SOME OF THE CONCERNS FROM THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT DISTRICTS ARE
01:18:32 ARE SPECULATIVE AND RIGHT NOW NO ONE OF AT LEAST ONE OF THE
01:18:38 CBDS IN MY DISTRICT IS UNIONIZED.
01:18:41 NONE IS PAYING WAGES BELOW MINIMUM OR BELOW PREVAILING
01:18:45 WAGE AT THIS TIME. SO I'M NOT INCLINED TO OPPOSE
01:18:49 THIS BECAUSE YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOME SPECULATIVE CONCERNS BUT I
01:18:56 HAVE SOME I JUST HAD SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE THINKING
01:19:04 ABOUT THAT AND THIS IS MORE MAYBE THIS FOR SUPERVISOR
01:19:05 MELDER THE WAY THAT THE ORDINANCE DEFINES STREET
01:19:11 CLEANING SERVICES TETHERS TO A PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY IN THE
01:19:15 PUBLIC WORKS CODE. >> IT WAS ALWAYS IT HAS ALWAYS
01:19:20 BEEN MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT DISTRICTS
01:19:23 EXIST FOR THE FRONTAGE. THIS IS THE PRIVATE BUILD THE
01:19:27 PROPERTY OWNERS CONTRACTORS AS IT WERE THERE THEIR DISTRICT
01:19:33 AND THAT THE PUBLIC WORKS CODE HAS PROVISIONS THAT SAY SO
01:19:38 PUBLIC WORKS CODES SECTION 174 THE OWNER OCCUPANT IS LIABLE
01:19:41 FOR THE CLEANLINESS OF THE ABUTTING SIDEWALK I THINK
01:19:47 PUBLIC WORKS CODE 7O6 MAKES CLEAR THAT THE FRONTING OWNERS
01:19:48 ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SIDEWALK MAINTENANCE BY DEFINING RIGHT
01:19:54 OF WAY KIND OF PUTS I THINK IT'S BLURRING THE LINES BETWEEN
01:19:58 WHAT'S A CITY OBLIGATION AND WHAT THE CBD OBLIGATION.
01:20:01 SO CAN YOU CAN YOU CAN YOU HELP ME UNDERSTAND THE RATIONALE FOR
01:20:04 THE FOR USING THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY PROVISION FROM THE
01:20:09 PUBLIC WORKS CODE? SURE.
01:20:12 OKAY. YEAH.
01:20:13 SO THIS WAS ACTUALLY THE VERY FIRST POINT WE NEGOTIATED BACK
01:20:16 IN JANUARY AND IT HAS TO DO WITH WHAT'S UNDER THE
01:20:23 JURISDICTION OF DPW AND WHO CLEANS THE SIDEWALK IN WHAT'S
01:20:27 THE JURISDICTION OF THE MTA BECAUSE YOU KNOW FROM THE CURB
01:20:34 ON TO THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET THAT'S MTA JURISDICTION
01:20:36 AND SOMETIMES PEOPLE DUMP THEIR GARBAGE OR YOU KNOW, LIKE
01:20:39 DROPPED THEY'RE GONE AND THEY DON'T REALLY CARE WHAT THE
01:20:43 JURISDICTION IS. >> BUT I JUST WANT TO YOU KNOW,
01:20:47 JUST GO BACK A LITTLE BIT AND POINT OUT THAT THE WAY THAT
01:20:50 CBD OUR ARE CREATED RIGHT IS AS YOU SAID BASED ON THE FRONTAGE
01:20:57 BUT IT IS AN ASSESSMENT TO EACH PROPERTY OWNER NOT TO SUPPLANT
01:21:01 CITY SERVICES BUT TO ADD TO IT BECAUSE THERE'S A SPECIALNESS
01:21:06 TO THAT AREA BECAUSE IT'S A COMMERCIAL AREA OR BECAUSE YOU
01:21:09 KNOW THERE'S A A COMMUNITY OF INTEREST THERE THAT WE WANT TO
01:21:14 PROVIDE EXTRA SERVICES TO AND THE PROPERTY OWNERS ARE
01:21:18 TAXING THEMSELVES ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT THEY ALREADY
01:21:22 PAY TO THE CITY TO DO THOSE EXTRA THINGS.
01:21:25 IT DOES NOT SUPPLANT THE CITY'S RESPONSIBILITY OR DPW.
01:21:29 >> DPW IS JURISDICTION OVER THE SIDEWALK OR ITS
01:21:33 RESPONSIBILITIES TO KEEP THEM CLEAN IN FACT IF THAT WERE THE
01:21:36 CASE IT WOULD BE A REALLY BIG PROBLEM.
01:21:37 >> RIGHT? BECAUSE THEN THOSE PROPERTY
01:21:40 OWNERS ARE GETTING DOUBLE TAXATION.
01:21:41 THEY ARE, YOU KNOW, GETTING LESS SERVICES FROM THE CITY
01:21:45 WHILE AT THE SAME TIME PAYING MORE AND YOU KNOW, TAKING OVER
01:21:49 THOSE RESPONSIBILITY. SO THE DEFINITION OF THE PUBLIC
01:21:53 RIGHT OF WAY THAT WE LOOKED INTO WITH A CITY ATTORNEY
01:21:56 AND WITH A DEPARTMENTS ACTUALLY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE
01:22:00 TALKING ABOUT WHAT IS THE JURISDICTION OF DPW RIGHT NOW
01:22:04 TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY CONTINUE TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES IN THE
01:22:09 JURISDICTIONS OF CBDS AND THAT THE CBDS WOULD THEN REALLY BE
01:22:13 THE ABOVE AND BEYOND WHICH IS WHAT THEY COLLECT YOU KNOW THE
01:22:17 ASSESSMENTS FOR. >> OKAY.
01:22:19 SO IF IF THE CITY WERE TO GIVE A CBD SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDING FOR
01:22:27 CBD WORK WE JUST WANT YOU TO DO KEEP DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING
01:22:32 WHAT YOU WANT THAT WE WANT THE SAME THING.
01:22:33 WE'RE NOT ASKING YOU TO DO ANY CITY FUNDING FOR THAT WOULD BE
01:22:37 SUBJECT TO PREVAILING WAGE IF IT IS ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT THE
01:22:41 ASSESSMENT IS THAT WE COLLECT THROUGH THE PARCEL ASSESSMENT
01:22:45 FOR THE CBD. YES.
01:22:48 >> OKAY. AND IF IT IS A CONTRACT OF MORE
01:22:52 THAN A YEAR. OKAY.
01:22:53 AND IF IT IS ABOVE THE DELEGATED AUTHORITY THRESHOLD
01:22:57 THAT THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR HAS SET AND THAT YOU KNOW, CHANGES
01:23:00 FROM TIME TO TIME BECAUSE INFLATION GOES UP OKAY.
01:23:07 IS IF THERE WERE MIXED FUNDING WOULD WE PUT SO LET'S SAY IT'S
01:23:11 A IF IT'S A MILLION DOLLAR CLEAN TEAM PROGRAM 800,000 IT'S
01:23:17 ASSESSMENTS OF $200,000 IN GENERAL FUND SUPPORT.
01:23:20 >> THE $200,000 WOULD BE SUBJECT FOR CORRECT.
01:23:21 OKAY BUT THE 800,000 A PRIVATE WOULD NOT OKAY.
01:23:28 >> OKAY. I THINK THAT HELPS WHEN I MAY
01:23:29 HAVE MORE QUESTIONS AFTER PUBLIC COMMENT BUT I THINK THIS
01:23:32 IS HELPFUL. THANK YOU CHAIR DAWSON OKAY.

01:23:53 PERSPECTIVE. AS I SAID, I WANT YOU KNOW, I
01:23:54 HAVE A LOT OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT DISTRICTS IN MY IN MY DISTRICT.

01:24:01 OWNERS WHO PAY INTO THESE AND HAVE EXPECTATIONS.
01:24:04 THERE'S CONCERN ABOUT THIS. I IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT
01:24:07 SOME OF THE THERE'S NOTHING THERE'S NOTHING ABOUT THIS THAT
01:24:11 WOULD PUT CBD IN A DIFFICULT POSITION NOW BUT THERE ARE SOME
01:24:14 CONCERNS AND I WANT TO JUST TO GIVE THE CBD IS THAT YOU'RE

01:32:51 >> I'M A TRUSTEE WITH THE LABORERS TRAINING FOUNDATION AS
01:32:55 WELL AS A PROUD MEMBER OF LOCAL 260 ONE.
01:32:58 >> THAT LAST GENTLEMAN SORT OF SAID IT ALL.
01:33:01 WE ARE THE FOLKS AT THE TRAINING FOUNDATION THAT
01:33:05 PROVIDE THOSE OPPORTUNITIES TO GET MEANINGFUL TRAINING.
01:33:09 AND WHEN YOU'RE DEALING WITH THE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT PART
01:33:13 OF DEVELOPMENT IS TRAINING PEOPLE AND GIVING THEM THE
01:33:14 TOOLS TO MOVE FORWARD IN THEIR CAREERS.
01:33:17 AND THERE UNFORTUNATELY IS A TIME WHEN WE DEAL WITH
01:33:21 NONPROFITS THROUGHOUT NORTHERN CALIFORNIA TO HELP PROVIDE THIS
01:33:25 TRAINING THAT YOU HAVE TO TEACH THAT THESE FOLKS NEED TO AT
01:33:26 SOME POINT MOVE FORWARD WITH THEIR CAREERS AND WHETHER IT'S
01:33:32 100 HOURS OR 1000 HOURS, THERE HAS TO BE A POINT WHERE YOU
01:33:34 BECOME SOMETIMES LIKE ONE OF THESE MEMBERS HERE IN THE
01:33:37 AUDIENCE I NOTICE A FEW FOLKS IN THE GROUP WON'T PUT THEM OUT
01:33:41 BUT THEY CAME THROUGH A DIVERSION PROGRAMS AND THEY ARE
01:33:44 NOW ON A CAREER PATH TOWARDS A GREAT FUTURE WITH REAL BENEFITS
01:33:52 AND REAL TRAINING AND REAL JOBS.
01:33:52 AND AT ONE POINT THEY GRADUATED FROM THE PROGRAMS THEY CAME
01:33:56 THROUGH AND SO WE'RE A BIG PART OF THAT PROCESS.
01:33:57 WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH ALL THESE GREAT SAN FRANCISCO
01:34:00 NONPROFITS WHO DO WORKFORCE TRAINING TO HELP GIVE THOSE
01:34:03 TOOLS TO HELP THESE FOLKS MOVE FORWARD IN THEIR LIVES THROUGH
01:34:04 THIS MEANINGFUL EMPLOYMENT. >> THANK YOU AND THANK YOU,
01:34:07 CHRIS GIRL. NEXT SPEAKER HELLO SUPERVISORS
01:34:10 MY NAME IS THERESA FOGLIA RAMIREZ, PUBLIC SECTOR BUSINESS
01:34:15 AGENT FOR LABORERS LOCAL 261 AS WELL AS THE NUMBER ONE
01:34:21 SENIORITY OF LABORS AT PUBLIC WORKS.
01:34:22 NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH MY BROTHER RUBEN JOHNSON BACK
01:34:25 THERE WHO IS TOP SENIORITY OVERALL THEY ALL HAVE 29 YEARS
01:34:29 NEXT MONTH. >> SO ALONG THIS PROCESS WE
01:34:32 HEARD SOME OF YOUR COLLEAGUES SAY THEY DIDN'T TRUST PUBLIC
01:34:33 WORKS TO GET THE JOB DONE. THAT'S WHY THEY NEED
01:34:37 SUPPLEMENTAL. AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT DOES TO
01:34:39 THE MORALE OF YOUR EMPLOYEES OF YOUR FIRST FRONT LINE ESSENTIAL
01:34:42 WORKERS? IT'S VERY DISHEARTENING BECAUSE
01:34:46 IT SHOULDN'T BE ON THE BACKS OF THE WORKERS.
01:34:49 YOU SHOULD BE LOOKING AT THE LEADERSHIP OF THE DEPARTMENT.
01:34:50 YOU SHOULD BE LOOKING AND SEEING WHAT HAVE THEY DONE
01:34:53 TO LIKE POLICIES, PROCEDURES. THE ANSWER IS NOT TO BRING
01:34:57 IN UNSKILLED LABOR AND THEN EXPLOIT THEM BY PAYING THEM
01:35:01 HALF THE WAGES NO PENSION, NO HEALTH CARE AND IN SOME
01:35:05 SOMETIMES NO PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT.
01:35:08 SO THIS IS REALLY ABOUT LIFTING UP THOSE WORKERS.
01:35:10 AND THIS IS A SANFORD CISCO VALUE.
01:35:12 >> WE WISH THAT YOU SUPPORT THIS FULL HEARTEDLY BECAUSE YOU
01:35:17 KNOW WHAT'S BEING DONE IS NOT THE ANSWER.
01:35:18 IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT LIFTING PEOPLE UP.

01:35:33 SUPPORT FOR THIS LEGISLATION AS WRITTEN.
01:35:36 THERE'S NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT THAN BRINGING PEOPLE UP
01:35:40 AND GIVING THEM HOPE AND DOING THIS TO THIS PROCESS HAVE THE
01:35:43 OPPORTUNITY TO BE SOMETHING BETTER THAN WHAT THEY ARE NOW
01:35:47 AND HELP THE COMMUNITY IN THIS CITY.
01:35:48 THERE'S NOTHING MORE YOU CAN ASK FOR.
01:35:49 BASICALLY ESSENTIALLY YOU'RE DOING GOD'S WORK.
01:35:52 AND I HOPE YOU GUYS MOVE FORWARD WITH IT.
01:35:55 >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU.
01:35:56 IT'S OUR SAINTS NEXT SPEAKER. >> WE'RE IN SUPERVISORS JOSHUA,
01:36:00 R.C. I'M EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE CALIFORNIA ALLIANCE FOR
01:36:04 JOBS. I WANT TO THANK YOU CHAIR
01:36:07 DORSEY SUPERVISORS CHAN SADR AND FEARLESS CHAMPION
01:36:10 AND SPONSOR OF THIS OF THIS LEGISLATION LONG TIME MAKING
01:36:14 SUPERVISOR MELGAR. I WANT TO SPEAK FROM THE
01:36:16 PERSPECTIVE OF OF MY JOB WORKING IN COALITION WITH LABOR
01:36:19 AND BUSINESS. WE HAVE TWO VERY LARGE UNIONS
01:36:23 NORTHERN CALIFORNIA LABOR IS UNION OPERATING ENGINEERS LOCAL
01:36:26 THREE AND THERE ARE 70,000 MEMBERS AND 2000 EMPLOYERS
01:36:29 REPRESENTED BY THE ASSOCIATED GENERAL CONTRACTORS AND UNITED
01:36:34 CONTRACTORS. WE GO OUT AND WE BUILD
01:36:35 INFRASTRUCTURE FROM FRESNO NORTH TO OREGON BORDER.
01:36:38 THE ONLY WAY WE'RE ABLE TO GET STUFF DONE IS THROUGH A UNION
01:36:41 CONTRACT. WE HAVE A COLLECTIVE BARGAINING
01:36:43 AGREEMENT AND EVERYONE STICKS TO IT AND THAT'S HOW WE GET
01:36:46 STUFF DONE. SO IN THIS INSTANCE HERE THE
01:36:49 CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO IS THE EMPLOYER
01:36:53 THAT'S THE BUSINESS WHO HAS A CONTRACT WITH THE UNION THAT
01:36:56 REPRESENTS ALL THESE HARDWORKING WOMEN AND MEN
01:36:58 WHO'VE BEEN OUT THERE NONSTOP WORKING DOUBLE TIME AS THE NEED
01:37:01 FOR INCREASE STREET CLEANING WORK GETS DONE AND THERE'S A
01:37:05 CONTRACT THIS LEGISLATION WITH THESE COMMON SENSE AMENDMENTS
01:37:11 REPRESENTS AN EFFORT TO SAY YOU KNOW WHAT AT THE END OF THE DAY
01:37:13 AND AGREEMENTS AND AGREEMENT WE HAVE WAGES AND BENEFITS OR
01:37:16 RESPECT THAT WORK APPRENTICESHIP TRAINING YOU CAN
01:37:20 LIVE IN THE CITY AS SUPERVISOR CHEN SAID YOU HAVE THE CHANCE
01:37:23 TO HAVE BENEFITS SUPPORT YOUR FAMILY AND YOU KNOW THERE'S
01:37:25 BEEN KIND OF CHIPPING AWAY AT THIS.
01:37:29 THE EMPLOYERS HAVE BEEN CHIPPING AWAY AT THIS.
01:37:30 WE UNCOVERED CONTRACTS WITH FOR PROFIT COMPANIES BILLING THE
01:37:34 CITY AS MUCH AS 200 BUCKS AN HOUR, RIPPING OFF THE WORKERS,
01:37:36 PAYING THE MINIMUM WAGE, ACTUALLY COSTING THE TAXPAYERS
01:37:39 MONEY THAN IF THEY HAD JUST HIRED MORE STREET CLEANING
01:37:42 WORKERS TO BEGIN WITH. IT'S BEEN CHIPPING AWAY BUT NOW
01:37:43 IT STOPS. THIS IS A NEGOTIATED COMMON
01:37:46 SENSE WAY IN WHICH THERE'S SOME TIMES WHERE YOU CAN GET MORE
01:37:50 WORK DONE. BUT RESPECTING THE WAGE UNLESS
01:37:54 IT'S A WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM AS DEFINED OR THESE
01:37:55 OTHER LIMITED EXCEPTIONS TO GO FURTHER IS TO RISK AN OPEN DOOR
01:38:01 TO PRIVATIZATION AND WE CAN'T HAVE THAT HAPPEN IN THIS UNION
01:38:05 TO SPEAK. >> THANK YOU, EXPERT THANK YOU

01:40:55 I WANT TO THANK THE BOARD FOR ITS ROBUST DISCUSSION ON THIS
01:40:58 MATTER. OUR MEMBERS ARE OUT HERE ON THE
01:40:59 PAVEMENT EVERY SINGLE DAY RAIN OR SHINE DOING THE HEAVY

01:41:13 THE SAN FRANCISCO CLEAN STREETS AND FAIR PAY ACT.
01:41:15 LET'S BE COMPLETELY CLEAR ABOUT WHAT'S AT STAKE TODAY.
01:41:17 >> IT'S NOT ABOUT SHUTTING OUT COMMUNITY GROUPS.
01:41:21 MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS I LOCAL TO 61 BELIEVE IN SECOND CHANCES
01:41:24 AND COMMUNITY WORKFORCE PROGRAMS.
01:41:25 IN FACT WE ARE HERE TODAY WILLING TO SHARE OUR
01:41:28 TRADITIONAL WORK TO GIVE LOCAL RESIDENTS A REAL SHOT AT A
01:41:30 BETTER LIFE. BUT A PROGRAM SHOULD NOT CAUSE
01:41:33 OF A WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT IF ALL IT DOES IS HANDIWORK OR
01:41:36 BROOM PAY THEM POVERTY WAGES AND OFFER ZERO FUTURE THAT'S
01:41:39 NOT UPLIFTING PEOPLE IT'S EXPLOITING THEM UNDER A GOOD
01:41:41 SOUNDING LABEL. >> AND IF A COMMUNITY PROGRAM
01:41:44 OFFERS REAL SKILLS, SAFE CONDITIONS AND A DIRECT
01:41:47 PIPELINE INTO A UNION APPRENTICESHIP AND A PERMANENT
01:41:48 MIDDLE CLASS CAREER, WE WILL BACK AT 100%.
01:41:51 >> BUT IF IT'S JUST A SHORTCUT TO GET CITY WORK DONE ON THE
01:41:54 CHEAP, THOSE WORKERS DESERVE A PREVAILING WAGE PERIOD.
01:41:57 WE RESPECTFULLY ASK THAT YOU SUPPORT THIS TODAY.
01:41:59 THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND THANK YOU MUCH FOR ADDRESSING THIS
01:42:02 COMMITTEE. >> THANK SPEAKER GOOD MORNING.
01:42:04 PATRICK BOILEAU DEPUTY POLITICAL DIRECTOR OPERATING
01:42:06 ENGINEERS LOCAL THREE WE STAND STRONGLY WITH OUR BROTHERS
01:42:09 AND SISTERS OF LABORERS LOCAL 261 AND URGE THE SWIFT PASSAGE
01:42:13 OF THIS LEGISLATION. PREVAILING WAGES ARE THE
01:42:17 DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A HIGH ROAD CAREER AND A LOW ROAD JOB.
01:42:21 IT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WORKERS ABILITY TO LIVE WITH
01:42:25 DIGNITY IN THE CITY, TO RETIRE WITH A FULL PENSION AND TO
01:42:29 BRING UP THEIR FAMILIES IN THIS GREAT CITY AND SOMEBODY WHO'S
01:42:30 JUST WORKING FOR A WAGE BARELY SCRAPING BY, STACKED UP
01:42:36 IN HOUSING WITH 8 OR 9 OTHER PEOPLE.
01:42:37 SO WE NEED THIS LEGISLATION WE NEED THIS LEGISLATION NOT ONLY
01:42:44 FOR STREETS AND SIDEWALKS BUT WE NEED IT FOR EVERY PUBLIC
01:42:47 WORKS JOB IN Z. >> THANK YOU.

01:44:26 LEGISLATION. I KNOW FIRSTHAND WHAT IT'S LIKE
01:44:30 WORKING FOR A CONTRACTOR THAT UNDERPAYS YOU AT TIME HAVING TO
01:44:32 WORK 2 OR 3 JOBS JUST TO BE ABLE TO PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE.
01:44:34 AND IT WASN'T TILL I GOT AN OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN THE LABOR
01:44:37 UNION WHERE I RECEIVED FAIR WAGES WITH BENEFITS
01:44:40 AND TRAINING TO HAVE A SUCCESSFUL CAREER IN THE
01:44:41 CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY. AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THIS
01:44:44 LEGISLATION REPRESENTS OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE
01:44:47 HARDWORKING FAMILIES IN SAN FRANCISCO TO BE ABLE TO WORK.
01:44:49 PREVAILING WAGE JOBS AND BE ABLE TO AFFORD TO LIVE IN THE
01:44:52 CITY THAT THEY KNOW AND LOVE. SO I URGE YOU TO MOVE FORWARD

01:47:20 EXEMPLIFY A POINT AND THAT IS WHEN I RUN INTO PEOPLE THAT ARE
01:47:26 STRUGGLING TO MAINTAIN THEMSELVES ECONOMICALLY AND IN
01:47:30 AN ENVIRONMENT LIKE THIS YOU HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE TRYING TO
01:47:34 NOT ONLY SUPPORT THEMSELVES WITH NUTRITION BUT ALSO

01:47:42 SKYROCKETING AS YOU ALL KNOW AND YOU SEE THE DIFFERENT

01:48:16 ENTERPRISE. I TAKE CARE OF GREEN
01:48:20 INFRASTRUCTURE ASSETS. WE HAVE SOME RIGHT OUTSIDE HERE
01:48:23 IN FRONT OF CITY HALL AND THOSE CAPTURE THE RAINWATER
01:48:25 AND REDUCE THE IMPACTS ON OUR SEWER SYSTEM AND I HAD THE
01:48:31 PLEASURE OF WORKING WITH ONE OF OUR SUPERVISORS IN CHINATOWN

01:48:39 AND THE PLANTS ARE LOOKING GOOD SO THANKS FOR YOUR HELP AND I

01:48:53 THANK YOU MUCH KACEY DOS SANTOS, ELLEN.
01:48:55 NEXT SPEAKER. >> HI EVERYBODY.
01:49:00 HOW ARE YOU DOING UP I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU GUYS YOU KNOW
01:49:09 THIS IS AN ERA OF EXTRAORDINARY CHANGE AND WE ARE ALL UNDER
01:49:17 TREMENDOUS PRESSURE THE ENTIRE CITY BUT MOST OF ALL THE PEOPLE
01:49:22 THAT WORK HERE ARE UNDER EXTRAORDINARY PRESSURE.
01:49:29 WE ARE LOOKING AT AN ONSLAUGHT OF AFFORDABILITY THAT I WORRY
01:49:36 LIKE HAS NO PRECEDENT EVEN THOUGH WE'VE BEEN THROUGH MANY
01:49:40 CYCLES OF INTENSE AFFORDABILITY ISSUES, IT'S ONLY GOING TO GET
01:49:47 WORSE. >> WE CAN SEE THAT AND AT THE
01:49:51 SAME TIME WE KNOW THAT IT IS NOW IT'S MORE IMPORTANT THAN
01:49:56 EVER TO BRING PEOPLE TO THE CITY TO ATTRACT THEM TO THE
01:50:02 CITY, TO MAKE THEM FALL IN LOVE WITH THE CITY.
01:50:06 >> AS A SMALL BUSINESS OPERATOR IT'S BEEN CLEAR TO ME FOR FOR
01:50:13 FOUR DECADES THAT YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR IF YOU TRY AND DO
01:50:20 IT ON THE CHEAP YOU'RE GOING TO GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.
01:50:24 THERE'S AN OLD SORE ABOUT THIS CHEAP FAST GOOD PICK TO AND I
01:50:31 WOULD PROPOSE FAST AND GOOD IS WHAT WE SHOULD BE FOCUSING ON
01:50:39 AND SETTING ASIDE THE QUALITY OF THE WORK THAT WE ARE SEEKING
01:50:46 AND THAT WE'RE PURSUING. THE NEXT THING WE WOULD WANT TO
01:50:50 THINK ABOUT IS JUST THE ECONOMICS.
01:50:51 MY UNDERSTANDING IS THE ECONOMICS PRIOR WERE POOR
01:50:57 AND THE ECONOMICS ON THIS WOULD ACTUALLY BE FAVORABLE.
01:51:01 >> ALL SO FROM MY POSITION AND POINT OF VIEW JUST LOOKING
01:51:06 AT THIS STRICTLY THROUGH AN ECONOMIC LENS AS EXPECTED THIS
01:51:07 IS WINNER WINNER FOR EXPERT. >> THANK YOU MUCH FOR
01:51:10 ADDRESSING THIS COMMITTEE. NEXT SPEAKER PLEASE.
01:51:21 >> GOOD MORNING KIM CAVALERI OR GOOD AFTERNOON KIM TO HAVE A
01:51:23 LENGTHY SAN FRANCISCO LABOR COUNCIL.
01:51:25 >> SO WHEN I WALKED IN HERE TODAY WE WERE TALKING ABOUT
01:51:29 HOMELESSNESS AND SHELTER AND SERVICES FOR HOMELESS.
01:51:35 I DO BELIEVE THE LAST TIME I HEARD IT WAS LIKE $1.2 BILLION
01:51:39 FOR OUR HOMELESS SERVICES. >> YOU KNOW THERE ARE WAYS TO
01:51:46 STOP HOMELESSNESS. >> ONE OF THE MOST BASIC THINGS
01:51:50 IS TO RAISE WAGES FOLKS RAISING WAGES PREVENTS HOMELESSNESS
01:51:54 IN A VERY EXPENSIVE CITY. >> AND THE ONE THING THAT WE
01:51:59 HAVE LEARNED OVER THE LAST DECADE IS THAT GOVERNMENTS
01:52:09 PRIVATE ENTITIES WILL NOT RAISE WAGES WITHOUT THE UNIONS COMING
01:52:13 IN AND DEMANDING HIGHER WAGES. >> THEY WON'T DO IT ON THEIR
01:52:18 OWN. >> AND IF WE REALLY WANT TO
01:52:22 PREVENT HOMELESSNESS, IF WE REALLY WANT TO PREVENT A LOT OF
01:52:26 THINGS WE HAVE TO RAISE WAGES. >> AND THIS LEGISLATION DOES
01:52:32 THAT FOR A SEGMENT AND PROTECTS WORKERS WHEN WORKERS ARE
01:52:37 PROTECTED AND RECEIVE A TRUE LIVING WAGE THEY DON'T BECOME
01:52:40 HOMELESS. THEY DON'T RELY ON CITY
01:52:41 SERVICES AND IT ACTUALLY BECOMES CHEAPER FOR
01:52:45 GOVERNMENTS. IT'S BASIC ECONOMICS.
01:52:48 >> I KNOW IT'S REALLY HARD IN THE AGE OF ABUNDANCE TO LIKE
01:52:53 UNDERSTAND THIS BASIC ECONOMIC CONCEPT.
01:52:57 BUT I'M JUST ASKING YOU TO USE A LITTLE BIT OF BRAINPOWER HERE
01:53:03 AND RAISE THE WAGES. I'M ALWAYS IN FAVOR OF RAISING
01:53:07 WAGES WAY HIGHER THAN THEY ARE BUT THIS IS A GOOD START.
01:53:11 >> PLEASE SUPPORT THIS LEGISLATION.
01:53:12 THANK YOU. >> Q MOTION.
01:53:17 >> GOOD AFTERNOON SUPERVISORS. I WANT TO THANK EACH AND EVERY
01:53:20 ONE OF YOU FOR THE WORK THAT YOU DO EVERY DAY INSIDE THIS
01:53:22 SPACE AND OUT OF IT. IT DOESN'T GO UNNOTICED BY THE
01:53:25 MEN AND WOMEN OF THE LABORERS UNION CERTAINLY THE LABOR
01:53:28 COUNCIL AND THE BUILDING TRADES.
01:53:29 >> I JUST WANTED TO SHARE HOW SATISFIED I AM WITH THE PROCESS
01:53:32 SO FAR. WE WERE REALLY, REALLY
01:53:35 DELIBERATE ABOUT DEVELOPING KIND OF A FRAMEWORK LIKE
01:53:39 SECURITY, MELGAR SAID. THAT WAS MORE OF A SCALPEL
01:53:41 AND LESS OF A HAMMER. WE WANTED TO DO THIS IN AN
01:53:43 ORGANIC AND APPROPRIATE WAY. WE MET WITH EACH AND EVERY ONE
01:53:46 OF YOU IN CITY HALL OR IN THE FIELD BEGINNING IN 2025.
01:53:50 YOU HEARD FROM OUR EXPERTS OUR FIELD WORKERS AS TERESA FOGELL
01:53:54 TALKED ABOUT THE PEOPLE IN THE ORGANIZATIONAL CHART THAT KNOW
01:53:58 EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IN OUR STREETS,
01:53:59 PARKS AND OPEN SPACES. THERE'S A NEW ORGANIZATIONAL
01:54:03 CHART IT'S HARD TO UNDERSTAND. IT'S EVEN HARDER FOR THE PUBLIC
01:54:07 TO INTERPRET WHAT THAT ORGANIZATIONAL CHART IS
01:54:10 RESPONSIBLE FOR AND WHAT IT ISN'T RESPONSIBLE FOR.
01:54:11 WE'RE JUST SHEDDING LIGHT ON THAT FACT.
01:54:14 WE'RE NOT MAKING ANY EFFORT WHATSOEVER TO EXTINGUISH OR
01:54:17 TERMINATE ANYTHING. WE HAVE A CONTRACT.
01:54:21 OUR CONTRACT CONTEMPLATES THESE ALTERNATE WORK PROGRAMS.
01:54:22 IT CONTEMPLATES THESE ALTERNATE WORKERS AND WE JUST WANT TO
01:54:25 MAKE OUR BEST EFFORTS IN A REFORM MINDED ADMINISTRATION
01:54:29 ENVIRONMENT TO ASSIST THEM TO LIFT THEM UP, NOT BRING THEM
01:54:33 NECESSARILY INTO OUR UNION OR ANY OTHER UNION.
01:54:36 >> THIS IS JUST ABOUT OFFERING OUR SERVICES, OFFERING OUR
01:54:38 SUPPORT, OFFERING OUR EXPERTISE WHETHER THAT'S THROUGH AN A PRE
01:54:42 APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM, AN APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM,
01:54:45 ANYTHING THAT'S INTENTIONAL TRANSPARENTLY MINISTER
01:54:48 PHYSICALLY RIGOROUS THAT ACTUALLY HELPS SOME OF THESE
01:54:51 INDIVIDUALS HOOK UP WITH THE CITY, HOOK UP WITH OUR HIRING
01:54:52 HALL WHATEVER IT IS. WE'RE MISSING A GREAT
01:54:55 OPPORTUNITY HERE TO MEET A BOTTOM LINE THAT EACH AND EVERY
01:55:01 ONE OF YOU KNOW IS A CITY WIDE NECESSITY.
01:55:02 THE VALUE OF A JOB THE VALUE OF A JOB JOB ARE UNDER ATTACK.
01:55:10 JOBS FOR HUMANS ARE UNDER ATTACK.
01:55:14 >> WE'RE EXPECTING THAT YOU WON'T DELEGATE AN ESSENTIAL
01:55:15 FUNCTION THE WAY THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS IS IT
01:55:18 DELEGATING AN ESSENTIAL GOVERNMENT FUNCTION?
01:55:22 THIS LEGISLATIVE BODY SETS THE WAGE RATES.
01:55:23 PLEASE DO THAT. >> THANK YOU MUCH.
