With the community we convened a working group of enabled leaders and we did a lot of talking about the concerns and the concerns that surfaced for the neighborhood that we heard very clearly they did not want this site to be 24 7 and they did not want people coming in from ousted tenderloin or being brought in from outside the tenderloin use services so we took that to heart and scaled back what we planned for that and we know that any Head Quarters for the department of homelessness needs to be accessible to folks experiencing homelessness but we wanted to listen and be respectful of the community and scale back the Resource Center from there we continue to hold meet meetings and i ran ten meetings throughout the Community Alliance for a better tenderloin and met with stakeholders the mayor led a meeting with Business Leaders in the community and we discussed this framework and this plan and i think that this what we landed on here comes through with a nice compromise we had some folks calling for a big Resource Center at 440 and some folks calling for no Client Services at 440 and we struck a great ball and we found support throughout the neighborhood and activating the site providing security and a place for people to come in and not a magnet bringing people in and not having the people bringing from all over the city and that was one of the biggest concerns that we heard and we wanted to be really responsive and a Good Neighbor and were interested in working with the block the other Business Owners and other providers on the block to activate that space and we look forward to being part of the neighborhood. Thank you. Yeah. In regards to im just curious emily, in regards to those two Large Community meetings i mean, departments come in here all the time saying we had this Large Community meeting with five people and i am just curious how many people were in attendance total for the two . I had 150 signins from those meetings and they werent even 75 75 but it was 150 folks total came to both of those meetings. That constitutes large. Its not large to me. Every department has the defense. Any other questions . Ok. If i could just add to that, you know, the issue that has come up and i have received emails about this today is that there were some folks who felt like we ignored their concerns about having showers and laundry facilities on site and i want to be clear we didnt ignore anybodys concerns and we didnt grow with everybodys concerns so we understand, we made a proposal and it was not accepted by the community and we scaled it back to turn it in to Something Else after listening to folks but where we landed on this its noting going to be a Resource Center and it will be a welcoming department and meet the needs of our clients who come in as someone coming in getting a bus home or to get and go to a housing interview we need to have some very basic Services Available to those folks including showers and building and its to serve one or two people to do that so we heard the community and some people want this to be lots of showers and laundry and places to sit for hundreds of people and some as emily said didnt want, we heard everybodys concerns and we did our best to balance those concerns with the needs of the department and most importantly with the needs of people who are experiencing homelessness. Let me have about the office space for a second here. I guess again, i thought it was going to be office space and then it would accommodate your staff it seems like were cutting it in half using second floor for office space. First and second floor. Ok, primarily second floor. And then is that going to come and accommodate your exist ing staff plus grove. It will accommodate, yes t. Will at this time it will not accommodate all of our staff we had originally presented was you know two 440 turk and ninth street it would have accommodated our staff and growth and it will accommodate our staff all of our staff and plus some growth but not staff not Civil Service staff who are currently working with the hot team and were still arguing to need to find another location in order to place the hot team and we looked at possibly doing that on the first floor of 440 but its not large enough to make that possible and to be able to at least have a welcome welcoming lobby for those who are going to come in and look for services. How many would this accommodate . Where are you now . How many staff do we have . Where are we locked . So were currently located at 50 ivy street facility on Mission Street at 101 grove street at 1360 Mission Street and 1650 Mission Street. And you will vacating these places . Yes. All except for 50 i. V. So when were able to make the move we will be in 50 i. V. And then at 440 turks so well be in two locations. Thats good to know. Thank you. Thank you. Any Public Comments on this item come on up you have two minutes. Hi. My name is and i work for the housing clinic we oversee three programs i oversee three programs which is a thorough residents in the tender loin and latino families and Code Enforcement and we came to know about this going back on history threw a thats what the department was proposing and there was a lot of community as to there was no community in the process it would not fly in any other neighborhood this way so there was processes but i have to disagree with the department that the final plans the concrete final plans were not put out to the community and i actually gained a lot more information coming to this meeting i would not have known about this meeting if the department wouldnt have emailed me and my supervisor about coming to this meeting and im not sure to be honest with you the communitys little frustrated about the transparency as to what real re is going on we would like to the last communication that we have was october 8th i think or eighth where we got an email from emily basically saying that we are scaling back 80 of the space for office and 20 would be for Clients Services and were still filling out the Client Services and i know about the working group that would come out with a survey to figure out gnaw didnt happen so im asking for continuance because i think the Community Needs to hear about what was presented today and i hear that from the laundry facilities will be for the program but its not what was told to me when i asked so it would be that program and summary the program did not sure yet about difference services so i think what i would appreciate is this particular information was held out to the community before coming here so im asking for continuance, thank you. Thank you, very much. Good afternoon supervisors, jim, chamber of commerce we strongly support this resolution and declaration of emergency to move this project along and every City Department that deals with a constituency has to have a facility which that constituency can access that and thats what were talking about here theres a new department consolidated moving 100 staffers in to a location we need this access and we need Dropin Centers and other Access Points for other populations and this department serves and this is one small step towards putting this department together giving some access to its population that seeks its services at that location and strongly urge you to approve this and move it on tomorrow to the full board, thank you. Hello im kelly cutler with the coalition on homelessness and were located right next door and we are in support of this and we would like to see more access to other services because folks needed a shower and a place to sit down and also to connect 20 services and i did attend the multiple Community Meetings, a lot of Community Meetings there and honestly just like every Community Meeting you have in each of your districts and every district all around, theres always push back. Thats just something that were constantly dealing with. But theres a huge need in our community and in the tenderloin in that area. My concern is around what is going on with policing around there but. Any other Public Comments on this item. See none. Any comments. Supervisor safai. Thank you, chair. I just want to say it sounds like theres almost unanimous support for this but theres still confusion as to exactly how the 20 of the building thats going to be used as showers, laundry, i heard the presentation today about outward Homeward Bound Program that makes sense to me it sounds like youve heard consistently that some people dont want it as a Dropin Center and some people want it as expanded services but i guess, i would feel more comfortable support north item today if there was someway that we could then have your agency come back and give us a clear detailed plan maybe with some additional conversations on the communities so theres more support or theres more input and there might not be union nam tee on the issue but it sounds like the plan is not still 100 concrete and i am very happy having started my career in San Francisco that you will have your office there at that location and i think its a great location to have office space it will do wonders to bring more bodies and interested parties to that area and i spent almost more than half of my career in San Francisco almost 20 years eight plus more than half of my career at that corner at the corner of turke and hide within one block so i know it better than any other block in San Francisco other than the one that i live on personally and so i think that its great um be located there and i would appreciate the opportunity for your department to come back with a very detailed plan exactly how that space is going to be used and the Homeward Bound Program sounds like a great start but sounds like theres confusion of how it will be utilized. That would be my only comment. Thank you. I am not sure if this general consensus yet on this and im not sure exactly about what the plan is and i appreciate that youve had community out reach and what is really strange about this hearing today is for all the people that are so passionate i dont see anybody here that is almost telling me something in fact this was supposedly an emergency meeting to talk about emergency items for emergency issues so there was just wondering how broadly this is put out to the public. Im uncomfortable and im willing to do a continuance on this and which may then delay it a week or two or actually it doesnt matter it would be delayed until next year. Im willing i havent heard, this happened so quickly as you know this was like it was called for emergency on friday afternoon and id like to reared than continue tractortrailer item id like to send it out of committee with no recommendation so we can move forward and as of tomorrow we can look at for the rest of the colleagues to weigh in on this and maybe i would feel more comfortable giving 24 hours to give feedback from the community and stay her motion. I move to send this to the full board without recommendation. As Committee Report. Yes for tomorrow. Ok. Motion passes. Thank you. Mad amount clerk anything else. Clerk nothing further. Meeting adjourned. Thank you, good afternoon, everyone, this meeting will come to order, welcome to the december 11th, 2017 special meeting of the rules committee. My name is supervisor chair of the committee and to my left is Rule Committee members norman ye e our clerk today is john carole. And id like to thank jesse larson and nona mallconian for staff north meeting. Do you have any announcements. Silence cellphones and Electronic Devices and copys of documented should be submitted to the clerk and items acted upon will appear on the january 92,018th board of supervisors agenda unless otherwise stated. Thank you mr. Clerk. Please call item number 1. An ordinance with the code to establish the Tenant Assistance Fund for hazardous housing and to allow eligible tenants to vacate issued bit department of building inspection or Fire Department to receive Financial Assistance for the fund for up to two years. Great. Unless theres im just going to make a few opening comments and call up members from the Mayors Office and department of building inspection, Fire Department and our Human Services agency and City Attorneys Office all who have worked on this fund. Back in the beginning part of this year as many of you know but this is also just for the general publics knowledge we discovered a hazardous situation and we had 30 individuals leave in dungeonlike conditions. They were in an old converted garage with no windows and no light and one way in and one way out exposing electrical wires and pluming and essentially little coupe cal cubicals built underground that were very small, tiny Living Spaces for almost 30 individuals and the reason this was brought tour. Tonimarie our attention we got a call from a tenant that said they were in dispute with the Master Tenant and many of you know a Master Tenant would be in one persons name with many people under one person and the Master Tenant dispute resulted in pg and e being shut off and there was an individual with breatheing support or ventilateer support that could not get it along with all the other tenants that needed electricity and it was a Master Tenant situation and we were extremely perplexed by the call for that particular address because we couldnt imagine where anyone would be living and Building Inspections along with the fire marshal were called and went out immediately inspected the space and discovered what i described in the beginning of the remarks and individuals living in dungeonlike conditions. For the first time in our citys history there was an order to vacate by the Fire Department but with that vacation, the City Attorneys Office was able to negotiate a relocation money two months rent and utilities for the tenants that were documented at that space over 4,000 per tenant and then working with the City Attorneys Office and h. S. A. And my staff and ben ames along with the department of homelessness and the support of housing we were able to negotiate some space in the existing building upstairs while an unauthorized church vacated individuals stayed there for a short amount of time and we got these individuals in to salvation army, light house, for a few months temporary temporarily again h. S. A. Stepped up to support those tenants and in the meantime we had this conversation that there was a warehouse working group that was then evolved in to this hazardous Housing Working Group and that is what is before us today and weve create aid new piece of legislation and we have a new program that will essentially treat individuals that are living . These conditions that are essentially asked to move or evicted at no fault of their own very similar to a fire and so we looked at the Fire Victims Assistance Program and essentially made a sub section under that program that would be dealing with individuals living in a hazardous housing situation and so this is designed to be transitional subsidy for those individuals six months primarily at discretion of the director of h. S. A. To extend more no more than two years to find more permanent housing so we again appreciate my colleagues sitting in a special rules committee meeting, we want to have this sent to the full board of the Committee Report because we want to take the first vote before the holidays and also to finalize this program when we return from our wintery sets so that we can begin to set this up and some of the things id like folks presenting today to think about is i know we did some initial thinking about how this money would be utilized and how much people might be able to avail themselves for this program but we might think about properly funding this if theres going to be more individuals identified as well as based on the discovery of more individual s living in substandard housing that might be asked to leave and the difficulty with this versus our fire victims Assistance Fund is in a situation of a fire, very often tenants have a place to move back to when the work is completed or theyre giving that option in this situation, its not as clear cut in terms of the ability to move back for five mesh a there was no option there was no way to make that livable space, if it were a above ground theres windows and air and light and maybe the upgrades could be made to make the housing more permanent and again thats why we put the discretion at the director and working with h. S. A. And Supportive Housing to make that final determination but in the situation of five persia theres not the option of making that permanent livable space so those are some of the things were going to think about today. So for unless you would like to make an initial comments ill call up jeff buckly from the Mayors Office who worked with our office hand and hand on createing this program. Interview thank you, i appreciate the opportunity to speak and so the legislation that you have before you as you mentioned i think the goal is to help relocate tenants who are displaced from their homes bit administrative orders to vacate by d. B. I. Or the Fire Department and this was created as a result of the five persia case just to kind of crystalize what supervisor said earlier, it was very clear from those of us who responded to the five persia situation we were dealing with a gap in the way that the city would respond to residents who are faced and living in this type of situation and we lacked the resources in really the system support to be able to work with those residents and find them habit able, suitable housing in particular i want to point out the heroic work of your staff because she jumped in to that situation and on the ground and really helped make what could have been a much more chaotic situation far more manageable but the reality was is that we needed to have a much better Response Network in spaces like this when and if they consider the city has the ability to step in there and have a more manageable process and i think a big driver of that concern for having this more managed process was the concern we would have people either evaporate in to a difficult Housing Market or find themselves homeless or on the street as a result of having, not having the necessary response. So a couple things that went in to it when we were looking at the legislation was, what i think is somewhat different than the citys fire response is in these situations what appears to be the clear culpability of the Property Owners and so what i think this legislation besides deploying the funds necessary to help rapidly rehouse people in safe Living Conditions, it also allows and puts on the hook the Property Owners who the city you know, knowingly contends have rented to people in substandard Living Conditions and so it has two effects. It both deemploys a resources and deals with the situations where the Property Owner mayor the Master Tenant may be culpable in the Living Conditions of this situation so i feel like it handles both of those situations. You have before you many of the different departments that responded who can provide you the information you may request and we enjoyed the partnership of working with you on this issue and i think weve seen it deployed in a situation since then to largely successful resulting but i think its also safe to say that this is a learning process and i think the city has to get better at its response in each instance so thank you again supervisor. Thank you mr. Buckly yeah a couple points that you added on we will have an annual report and well be submitted by h. S. A. To the board of supervisor and the mayor on the use and the he have ka see of this program as well as one of the things that we wrote in to the legislation was the ability to have if landlords were culpable and some of the money from the lawsuits would then go in to help fund this program so that would also be an additional stream of money to help fund this program and next individual id like to call up is ms. Olivia scanland from the Fire Department to say a few words. Good afternoon, thank you very much. Olivia scanlan government liaison for the Fire Department. So, we worked collaboratively with your office and we enjoyed it very much to try and, as jeff buckly articulateed come together as a city to be the safety net for these individuals and this began for the Fire Department and ill have the fire marshal chief speak to this , pretty much after what happened in oakland we got more calls and complaints for our fire members to look at these properties and see what people were living in and they were living in hazardous and dangerous conditions. The fire marshal will speak to 5 smear but we look forward to making this legislation, it will really help these people and in times of need when they need a safety net and they need the city to step up and be there so thank you very much and ill have the fire marshal speak. Thank you very much for your offices assistance, you were very helpful along with the fire marshal helping to respond in an aggressive manner. Thank you. Good afternoon supervisors fire marshal so just briefly on 5 persia, it was an illegal change of use to a residential use which was the facility was designed for storage in the basement there and it was changed to a more hazardous use meaning people were living and sleeping there. It was changed to a more hazardous use, it didnt have exits and it didnt have rescue windows and so the fire marshal position when we had to make a determination of imminent hazard as it relates to enforcing the fire code is if theres an illegal change abuse to a more hazardous use to a residential in this case and theres exiting and rescue windows it rises to that level of imminent danger and we issue an order to vacate as we did on persia. Just a little background, weve had up to state 50 complaints on illegal use of which weve given five orders to vacate meaning 10 of those rose to the level where it was changeed use to residential and it didnt have adequate existing. That is this year . A little over a year. Including 5 persia . Correct. Do you know how many individuals that is . How many individuals were effected by those orders . Well, i dont have it committed to memory the last one its about 30 as well and we had one that was only three or four people but yeah, the most has been persia and its the most recent one about 30. Where is the one that was also 30 people. On 24th street. Oh, ok. If you have any questions . Just first of all i want to clarify one point that i made in the beginning that it was you the fire marshal and your agency that required for the first time in the citys history that the landlord would have to pay those relocation money to the individual tenants so that was really helpful in this situation over 4,000 per individual that was living in these situations and the order basically said that in many ways it was about taking advantage of those individuals and putting them in harms way so that was something that had not been done and it was an order that your department let on. My second not a statement but this is more the question, in those five that rows to the level of hazardous, were there any that seemed as though in your opinion that could be modified to be more habit able or safely habit able . Not without extension i have work, no. Obviously five persia no but some off the once were they above ground . They were above ground but without going in to too much detail some needed extensive work for change of use and it would have taken some time and you couldnt get accomplished in the year were talking significant amount of work to make the building safe and not only that, planning and zoning, et cetera, there are so many hurdles to clear to get there. Any questions on that . Ill wait for all the speakers. Ok. So thank you. Next person is william straw from the department of Building Inspections. If you wanted to say or rosemary busk. Thank you also for the wonderful work your office did on behalf of these tenants and this situation and helping us shape this legislation. Thank you supervisor. I definitely want to thank and you the Mayors Office for sponsoring this legislation and you gave a wonderful description of what well do but i want to touch on addition at points and one of the first things well do is help the Fire Department and the department of building inspection when were phased with hazards whether individuals occupying a space to help get their cooperation in vacating that space because of the i am inant hazards so that no one is injured because there will be tools to help them relocate very quickly and so the propertyen is gone after as far as the maintenance to the building but the consequences to the occupants of the building that is where we had the gap and this will also help us with our enforcement out Reach Program so when those individuals are in these spaces talking to the individuals it will be much more helpful to explain to them in several different languages if they need that and what their legislation can provide. The third item is the fact if the Property Owner then does not reimburse the city at the time that they had been told expenditures have been disbursed to make repairs and or to assist occupants and that is increasing whether or not the Property Owner has responded the first, second or third time to applied applaud that because the un intended consequences is this will then throw a much stronger message to the Property Owners who are currently as we speak, allowing people to live in these types of conditions, how expensive this is going to be for them, not necessarily as far as the code violation but for the safety the individuals and to house them while this work is continuing to try and legalize the space so thank you very much for that. Thank you. And then id like to call up now ben ames from Human Services agency and we worked to craft this in a manner use able and sustainable for the city so thank you for all your hard work . Thank you supervisors. So im going to talk about the Human Services aspect of the program so when we came on board with the persia street tenants we were down to five tenants that needed housing and were able to space them in to an s. R. O. And the next project i got called in to was the 24th Street Project and it looks to me right now my numbers are a little rough mind you that recently we had three two alarm fires in two days and ive had to operate a shelter and get a bunch of people in to housing and my research is shaky but for 24th street right now fort tenants that came forward to accept our offer of house we have 16 rooms in an s. R. O. Housing 21 people. Is that on 24th street . Now when going through that tenant population and looking at who was there and trying to convince people to come in to housing because the population was mono lingual, Spanish Speaking undocumented day labor ors except for one family we found and that was a 17 yearold girl in her 17 yearold boyfriend living with his father and she was pregnant and so i needed to split and consider that group of people as a family split them off in put them in to different housing but everybody else was fine going in to a resident occupancy hotel so in the future im not always going to place everybody in to an s. R. O. There are times its more appropriate that we put folks in to more traditional apartments but using the fire Program System we have in place we can do that relatively quickly so right now were going to absorb the cost and were happy to do so this year but in the future years were going to need to increase our budget for h. S. A. And purchase street for the five tenants for one year its costing h. S. A. 82,800 in rent and these folks were paying about 300 a month in the market rate im getting for an s. R. O. Is 1400 so its quite a gap for me to bridge. Just a point of clarification i didnt go in to that but this is a good point to make that so the way the program is designed is that you go out and do a determination find what the tenants were paying in this instance it was between 300 and 500 a month and this program and subsidize the difference between what they were paying and the rent so the difference of 500 to 1400 around numbers is 900 for one tenant spread out over a year might be more than that if its only 300 then you are getting in to over 1,000 and multiplied by multiple tenants and i believe it was eight for five and theres eight. We widdled it down to five. A couple people from 5 persia found their own housing and moved out and i thought it was encouraging. Please proceed. So for the 24th Street Project we have 16 rooms with 21 people and for six months hold on. Excuse me. You guys can whispering is echo ing and im having a hard time focusing. For six months for that project 207 thousand the family with the pregnant young woman that is going to cost us 9,972 for the year. I decided that everybody else was going to be doing six months but because of her due date would have been right at six months and we dont want to suddenly have a young family facing homelessness that i bumped that up to a year. To one year. And so originally just for clarification, originally we were absorbing this program as its taken time for us to pass legislation and its done in january and its a sub section of the fire victims assistance, how much money is allocated for that program. About 300,000. So it sounds like just with these two instances were up to half of the program. Correct. Were work with your office to allocate and advocate for more money based on just on these two examples alone it sounds like the need is going to increase potentially. Great. Im suzie smith im Deputy Director for policy and planning at human app Services Agency were estimating about 225,000 per year for this Program Moving Forward and its hard to know exactly we didnt predict how much occupants will be there and how many illegal units will be there and that covers ten households within 90 day stay in hotel stays plus five households for six months of rent and move in expenses so thats our best guess based on the Previous Data around orders to vacate in the past. Ok, great. Yes, sir. So the estimates that you are giving us is for six months or for the year. The 225 would be for the fiscal year. Im up for, what im working on now were doing for six months so the 24th Street Project is that budget is for six months and we just did six month extension. It could double. Pardon. It could conceivably double the amount if its extended to one year. Correct. So if these two examples, you are 220 250. 225 is gone. We are authorized at six months intervals and were thankful that the allocation is up to the h. S. A. District or discretion because its a case by case to see whether it makes sense to continue to sustain but the cost would continue to grow if theres not another housing option its a Decision Point to say what is the best use of this point. So i guess my question is really about the budget and if you find a situation where theres 30 people then you wouldnt have enough basically. So far we have been able to since we were a large agency, if weve gotten specific directions from the board to make it work financially in the current year we have done that and it comes to add backs and sometimes it comes moving forward now that we have two rental assistance programs for people that by result of a fire or vacate order and. Well, what happened is this was, this came after the initial conversation for the budget year but what we did is we said this would be referencing the initial Fire Victims Fund for the first year and Going Forward that is why were coming to the conversation. It didnt go in to the Budget Committee. Not yet. My question is about the budget and i have no issues with the concept and im thinking what does this mean and right now were 25 doesnt sound like that large of an amount but i can see situation where i dont know how many of these situations were going to uncover but certainly when i was helping my daughter look for a house by three years ago i saw places why they had 20 People Living here so if you run in to a situation like these where houses where theres 30 people and how are we going to handle that . I think two things to note, one there is an income eligibility thresh held for the program so it is 100 of area meeting income and that will screen out some and as for the 24th street situation in many cases this is really last resort so if they have another option can move in with someone else and have potential to pay on their own and they do that and they come to us as a last resort and finally we base the projection on the previous numbers orders to vacate from fire and d. B. I. To be able to have a reasonable guess tament moving forward. Im also hearing from the Fire Department that what happened in oakland since then theyve received an increased number of complaints i guess, i dont know if thats going to have a, if thats a factor Going Forward. Yeah and i guess five of those resulted of the 50 resulted in an actual, i think five of the 50 as was reported by the Fire Department resulted in an order to vacate. Could i ask the Fire Department chief, i mean fire marshal, how many lets say in previous years you have 50 complaints and that resulted in five but what was it before . Other ive been the fire marshal so i can speak to my time as fire marshal and the previous year, i believe we only had one or two and we went from one or two to close to 50 after the ghost hip so there was a great ear wareness and not only from the public burr from our own members responding to medical calls et cetera and they were reporting back what they were finding. Its a good thing. I mean, as you get these complaints. Its a good thing that you actually get. Absolutely we welcome the complaints and we. So im still a little concerned whether 225 is really enough for this program. Im sorry, repeat the question. Im just concerned. Yeah i mean obviously if the board choses to limit Eligibility Criteria and more significantly to narrow who would get access to the program. Maybe we need to double check the numbers and it could be an ask for more money than 225. Its worth, i mean, its ask for more money and how much more are we going to ask is the question you know and, 225 seems low to me but you might be absolutely correct it could be that it is double or five times or ten times more than the question becomes if its going to be that much how much can we the city support the program up to what point i guess thats my concern and thats coming from budget point of view. Yeah. The second thing that would be if the landlord provides a lease to somebody, and that somebody becomes the master leaseer. Master lease or yeah, starts subleaseing and the owner knows if ten other people are living there illegally i guess that is more of a legal question, hen who is responsible to reimburse the city. So under the legislation, the City Attorneys Office would seek the fees essentially to recover the costs through litigation. From who . From the landlord, the master landlord. Oh, ok, so not the person they lease it to who happened illegally lease it to a bunch of other people . No, it would be the owner of the building because theyre technically responsible for maintaining the conditions. City Council Given can you shine this light on this . Sure. Deposit thue john gibner, it may depend on the circumstances, or the dinance gives Broad Authority to seek reimbursement from any person who created caused committed or maintained the condition which i assume in most cases is the owner or Master Tenant but the ordinance gives a broader authority. Ok, so you could go after that Master Tenant . If that person cause order maintained the nuisance condition yeah. If theyre pocketing the money does the landlord have to pay so i want to make sure theres that flexibility. Thank you for classification. So, i am a little concerned about whether this going to be sort of an unfunded type of thing where theres no limitation to how much we will put out. Has there been any discussion around that issue . Before you do that, one of the things we did over the past year in conversations with drafting this legislation, we put in strong discretion in human agencies director to video these under guidelines and flexibility on a case by case basis so what we were hoping for in this year was to deal with the 5 persia and any other instances that might come up but then as we move towards passing this legislation, we would try to come up with a projected amount that might serve this number and take it as we move forward in the future to see if theres a dramatic increase in needs baits on some of the conversation besides bringing housing up to habit able levels but im happy also that the agencies answer that but i wanted you to know some of the things we had as we were part of a working group that was multi agency in its nature the Department Building inspection h. S. A. , fire, Mayors Office of housing and department of homelessness and supportive City Attorneys Office and we modeled it based on some of the situations that were very similar with the fire victims Assistance Fund and you can never predict how many fires theres going to be and some years there could be ten, 15 fires and you might go over amount and the agency is funded well enough that it can draw another source but were trying to project based on this year what might go on during the budget conversations but well continue 245 conversation that conversation and adjust as we go forward. I am a little uncomfortable that theres no cap to what were talking about im cam fort able theres a Pilot Testing program were doing and this program that were setting up for initial stages will be capped at 300,000 or something whatever amount but at some appointive to worry about whether or not were going to discover a lot of places and what we did then because basically were set ago side no boundaries. Right now its not fund sod we have to go through the budget conversation this is essentially the fire victims Assistance Fund that is a sub section of that and we have not had the conversations about funding and we will do that in the upcoming year as part of the budget process. I read it by didnt see anything that says that when you set it up were not obligated to fund it. The way the language is written it is discretionary so its not an entitlement per se its at the discretion of the h. S. A. Director. The attorney is nodding his head.
