I dont have to acknowledge him because he is not my boss anymore. [laughter] but i do want to give a special shoutout to tom nolan. Under his leadership of the board that we brought forward the central subway and brought forward this procurement and we would not be here but for not his leadership. Thank you for that. [applause] and so with all of the fire power that youve heard from represented here that put together the money, that put together the leadership, that authorized and approved all of this to happen, someone actually had to do the work. And that is where some might say the part really begins. Somebody had to execute on this promise that we made to our funders, to our policymakers, most importantly to our rider and to the public. The person who is at the tip of the spear for our agency, but even coordinating beyond our agency, with the fire department, police department, the Mayors Office on disabilities, the rest of the city family is our transit director whos made this project a passion of his for the last few years. And in terms of timing, as i mentioned in terms of being ahead of schedule, the process to get to where we are today typically would be on the order of four or five years. Because of john halles leadership. Were here closer to three years. Please join me in welcoming our director of transit, john halle. [applause] uh excuse me. Thank you, ed. Good morning, everyone. Let me start by making an official announcement. This is, in fact, the title to this car so the city of San Francisco now has an extra asset to add to its inventory. The good news is president breed, it has that new car smell. [laughter] so let me again thank everyone. But most importantly, as ed mentioned, this is a complex endeavor in a very complex system. I think we were able to assemble a group of people who where others may have found problems together with our partners from siemens and all the help from the transit team and people throughout the agency, this group really solved problems and that got us to where we are today in the time that we are. I do want to first make a special shoutout because this process was closely watched and monitored throughout the you may remember the first car arrived friday, january 13th. So in the last nine months, weve been closely monitored by the cpuc whos been our oversight agency, whos been available and taken rides with us, whos really helped to make a very cumbersome process easier understand and help us work through problems. Also want to note our own system safety folks. I can see them, who worked with us to get not only the documentation done, but to make sure that everything that you are going to see is the safest and most reliable car we can provide. Let me start, again, by saying when we started this process a few years back, it seems like we can break it into segments. It has been the three years has been on the one hand very fast moving and, on the other hand, recognizing the need to provide safer and more reliable transportation. Let me first acknowledge two people, trents wynne. [applause] who put who put together this complex anxietier, built the team and got us off to the right start. Mike ellis who cap add glorious mechanical career. Excuse me can. Here at the sfmta and is principally responsible for applying all the bad thing, all the Lessons Learned from the boeing cars to our new cars. And when the cars arrived, we needed an implementation team. [train noise] i wanted to acknowledge Janet Gallegos who got us home as the project manager. [applause] she worked tirely wes her team. Mike moda, who has been our chief engineer. [applause] and has worked with siemens to solve countless technical problems. It is not easy to design a complex vehicle and drop it in our system. But we were able to identify and address any concerns and issues. Doug lee, are you somewhere . And this was a group, and finally on the kind of fulltime dedicated team, i want to acknowledge manny enriques. [applause] manny is somewhere here. For the last nine mo fnzes he has been out overnight, virtually every night five, six, sometimes seven nights a week to help us hit this deadline. And hes probably inside because i realize at this point he is no longer used to sunlight. So [laughter] im sure he is glad that we will be getting these trains in service. But congratulations to all of them. And finally i do want to recognize some of the other people who contributed a lot of their time while they continued to do their daily responsibilities. Scott broder. I see lisa wallton from i. T. Whos worked with us in resolving system problems. Terry fahey with the track crew. Part of what was done was constant adjustment to fit a highly technical vehicle on to our system which has to accommodate b. C. C. S and brada cars. Not an easy test. Maintenance. Kept the system going while we drained a lot of key staff to work on the l. R. V. 4. So, it is for me an honest and straight forward sincere thank you. Job well done. One down and 267 to go. [applause] thank you, john. Again, a lot of folks to acknowledge. But our finance folks, our legal team, our procurement folks, our materials folks, other agencies, a lot of folks coming together to make Something Like this happen. We did go through a rigorous, competitive process to select the company that would build these cars and we were happy that what came out of that with siemens in part because of theyre based right here in california. Once we were through the competitive process, we really joined with them in partnership, worked as an Integrative Team to get these cars here. Were proud that theyre designed and built right here in california. And, you know, back to the schedule point, were at a state now where they want to continue to advance the schedule and essentially they are ready to send cars here as fast as we can take them and pay for them. So, that is a good challenge for us to have. And that is thanks to the leadership of the president of siemens, please join me in welcominging michael cajo. [applause] thank you, ed. Thank you, everybody, for helping us celebrate whats a great day. For puting this first car into a worldclass city and we hope it willable a worldclass car to go with it. We build light rail cars for cities across the nation but there is something very, very special putting a car in the city of San Francisco. Not only because it is such a great city, but also because we learn a lot in working with a team like john halles team, including all the people he mentioned, even though weve been doing this for 30 years we learned an awful lot about how to do things right. Were contributing to the supervisors sleeping time by making them quieter, which we hope will work and also the new car smell. The result of the car that you see here is the result of a lot of peoples work including the teams, and i have to give a shoutout to our team that the project team here and his staff that worked tirelessly on this. As john said, it wasnt just a it wasnt just a single day. It is a seven day a week effort. But what most impressed me about this project was working with the m. T. A. , with the sfmta. It truly is a partnership and thanks to the leadership of john halle and ed riskif and thank you to all the people who worked on this. We have 1200 people who contributed to building these cars in sacramento and it is really a great day for us. Thank you very much. [applause] thank you, michael. I dont know if you iting ka it, but president breed said these trains are meant to last us into the next century. I think about 85 years of useful life out of these. The stakes are high here. So, unlike this procurement, this event is running a little behind schedule but we do want to ask your indulgence for one more minute and i want to ask the mayor and the daughter of larry martin, iris lopez, to come forward for a special commemoration that were doing in honor of larry martin. Iriss father, who was a great leader, Community Leader in the city. A great labor leader in the city. The mayor mentioned the importance of labor. They are the ones that do all the work. They are the ones who informed the design of this vehicle, who operate, maintain the existing vehicles, who provide all the background work in order to make muni run every day. Muni was very lucky to have larry martin join as an employee back in 1966. Rose quickly through the ranks of Union Leadership to become president of the local here and then International Vice president for the transport workers union, served in a number of capacity on different boards and commissions in the city and really play an outsized role in the leadership of the city. Always representing labor, always representing working people of the city and so it is with that in mind that we dedicate this first rail car, and this was the mayors idea, so i want to make sure he gets the credit for this, dedicate this first rail car to his memory so we want to ask the mayor and larrys daughter to unveil a replica of the plaque that will honor larry martin as we put this first new car into service. Ready . Ready. All right [applause] do you want to say anything . So, we have new rail cars new seats new diagnostic systems all right new smells but we not ever forget the people that run this whole system. And im honored to be with iris because her father was someone who i first worked for at my very first job. He was the president of the Human Rights Commission when i his first director. He then served over five mayors before he ultimately retired and i had the privilege of appointing him to his last commission so he could have fun. That was the recreation and Park Commission and you should have seen larry at those 49er games at candlestick, having great fun and bringing his family with him. I want to also say i honor the people who work the system every day. Because when i first met larry, i used to kind of complain as a new employee of the city. Why i was faced with so many people who had pretty sharp opinions and would sometimes curse sometimes threaten. Sometimes do all the things that sometimes the public in their most emotional states will do. And so he as the president of the transport worker union said, mr. Lee, let me tell you what my day was like. And we would talk about people who were spat on and cursed on and they were just trying to smile and get people to work and to school. So i had nothing to complain about after those sessions. We shared our stories about civic employees, about our standard of being the greatest and the best publicker is vans in the worst type of situations sometimes. That is my way of saying thank you to t. W. U. , the teamsters who work on the mechanics every day and repair all the labor unions but mostly to take this opportunity to thank iris and her family for supporting and giving us a great leader in larry martin. Iris . [applause] i just want to say thank you to everyone who was behind the dedication. My dad was a very strong force to be reckoned with, especially with his labor leadership and he loved the county and city of San Francisco and he would just be very proud to be here today and im so pleased and thrilled. Thank you, everyone. [applause] ok. He was here today in spirit and now well cut the ribbon and then, as leslie said, then were going to roll. Folks here can line up. Five, four, three, two, one [cheering] [applause] lets roll. Whew whew ok, lets get started. Welcome to our special, special, special budget and finance Committee Meeting for monday, december 11th, 2017. I am norman yee and i will chair this committee as soon as everyone is quiet.

Clerk declaring a homeless shelter emergency and authorize ing the direct offer public work to improve facilities and the director of the department of homelessness and support of housing to contract for Homeless Services and officer services to protect the health, safety and welfare of individuals effected by homelessness and all San Francisco citizens. We have jeff kazski department of homelessness and department of public works here to present. Good afternoon, supervisors, jeff, director of the department of homelessness and Supportive Housing. I want to share some information with you regarding why we believe San Francisco is currently experiencing a shelter emergency and homelessness crisis. I dont think that we have to walk very far and look out doors to see living on our streets suffering and without access to basic hygiene needs and at this time, we saw that 7,499 people were experiencing homelessness on any given night and i think its also important to note in any given and theres 25,000 people unique individuals who experience homelessness in San Francisco and we have a very High Percentage of the Homeless Population in our city 58 that are unsheltered living on our streets and 4,000 people on any given night that are sleeping out of doors. Thirtytwo of that population is over the age of 51 and 40 having drug or addiction disorders. You will see that there has been where weve had some good successes overtime, weve seen an increase in the number of young people experiencing homelessness and relative to the Homeless Population and also an increase in the number of people who are over 61 years of age Senior Citizens who are experiencing homelessness and again, approximately 58 of un sheltered. Being unsheltered causes a whole variety of healthrelated issues some of which are very obvious not having a place to go to the bathroom to cook food, to take a shower and theyre recently in Southern California has been an outbreak of hepatitis a which has led to hospitalization and deaths many in the city of san diego and the problem has spread to santa cruz and los angeles and in San Francisco, we have been able to do a lot of vaccinations and take other measures to keep that outbreak from happening but none the less the acts of showers to shelter and housing is making us a risk for hepatitis a and other out breaks. We have seen and im sure this is again you all are familiar with this issue and receive many of the complaints that i do theres been an increase in the number of complaints related to unsheltered homelessness and you will see here just the very large increase in 311 calls related to this issue between 2015 and 2017 and you will also see where as we have invested a fair amount in our homelessness response system we have over 2,000 beds of temporary shelter available, mainly 1,389 shelter beds for adults and transition age youth. We still have a waiting list of over 1,000 people on any given night currently in need of shelter. As such, the mayor has announced his challenge to get a thousand additional people off the streets this winter that will require the expansion of our shelter system to meet the demands that currently exists helping cut the time it takes for us to bring shelters and other fail facilities online by four to six months and it will sunset in february february 15te looking at right now specifically this resolution to help move forward projects that are going to bring shelter and Navigation Centers quickly online and at this point well turn it over to edgar lopez that will talk to the specifics of the resolution. Good afternoon exercise, edgar lopez with public works as jeff mentioned the resolution before you would enable public works to implement fast deployment of shelters by allowing us to cut it takes to pre cure Construction Contracts for us to order trailers, tents, and bring in site utilities to bring in water and power and sewer and able to cut period time it takes by at least a third and i would be happy to answer specific questions that you may have. I see no questions and we have a b. L. A. Report. Good afternoon chair yee and analist office yes as we talk about on page four of our report , for the Emergency Declaration for 440 turning street the estimated cost of the is 7. 8 million in renovations and legislation calendered for wednesday december 13th budget and it would approve the funding for this project and there are more details presented to that committee and for the emergency shelters mr. Lopez i think comments on the two sights looked at right now that are one at fifth and bryant and one on 13th street that are under the jurisdiction of cal trans and our public works is working on the actual defining the project scope and that the department of homelessness will return in january to the board of january 2018 on the estimates for these projects and the code itself defines an emergency is a sudden unforeseeable and unexpected occurrence which isnt the case with these two Emergency Declarations however they have discretion under the administrative code to declare an emergency and i will want to say and i dont believe it was mentioned in the presentations, its a question has come up about the openendedness of the Emergency Declaration for homeless shelters and my understanding is that the department would what they did . Didnt catch that they did introduce a amendment to the legislation to sunset on february 15th. And we do consider it to be a policy matter for the board. Thank you for your report. So i dont see the amendments in here. Where are the amendments . Does anybody have a copy or is someone that the only thing being requested to be amended . Just for records for those that may not have caught it, this is a further amended in to work being asked to be amended and that says the resolution sunset at the time that the permanent emergency ordinance is enacted or on february 15th, 2018 which ever comes first. Any other questions . I have a question to our city attorney. City attorney mr. Gibner, so this is a resolution effecting the add min code but not amending the addmin code . Thats right. This section of the administrative code authorizes the board of supervisor to declare an emergency by resolution and authorized emergency work in response to that emergency and the amendment that you have before you indicates that the board may be adopted may adopt an ordinance, it wouldnt technically be an emergency ordinance which say special category under the charter but adopt an ordinance amending the administrative code or exemption s to the administrative code and it would be broader you could wave different Competitive Bidding processes by ordinance than by resolution. So this is not an addment to the code it is accessing that section of the add men code. Thats right. That was it . Ok. Any Public Comments on this item . Come on up. You have two whole minutes. Jim San Francisco chamber of commerce i want to thank the mayor and supervisor ronen and we urge them to vote this out unanimous will he and this is something weve worked with the city and various business organizations for some time believe its absolutely necessary unfortunately not just necessary here but probably necessary at this level of the state of california but the state has 20 of the Homeless Population of america supposedly and if we had had a major natural catastrophe or disaster, we would find ways of housing people that are living on the street if it was anybody in this room who was living on the street because an earthquake, there would be emergency housing for us and this will allow your department to move more aggressively and more quickly and perhaps we can urge the state of captain to do the same thing because were not going to solve this problem in San Francisco and we would be trying for decades and weve been doing better jobs for communities but its a long way to go and the state of california so i thank you on behalf of the Business Community the authors of this support and urge support and surgery San Francisco to look more towards sacramento and figure out what would do with this statewide crisis, thank you very much. Thank you. Any other Public Comments on this item . Come on up. If there are other Public Comments just come on up and lineup over here to your right. To your right and my left. Good afternoon im director of programming and ucs managing two shelters sick for single adults with 534 beds and two of the Navigation Centers and were just here to support the resolution if its passing and encouraged the board of supervisors to pass it and we believe that there is need occupancy is don cyst enter lehigh and bad weather is coming so we urge and ask that you consider and pass. Thank you. Hi, good afternoon, my name is holly and i work with the Community Services and currently i am the Program Manager of the entry pilot for the city of San Francisco and so just to talk about housing Homeless People experiencing homelessness in the city and the benefit of them having permanent and benefit them having a place to stay and being stabilized and we see a lot of clients that are coming out of homeless encampments on the streets and we lose about one out of five clients that are high needs and are staying outside and have no permanent place to stay or no temporary place to stay and so we definitely, when clients were able to stabilize them in shelter or Navigation Center we see theres a higher percentage of success with housing those clients and that those clients are able to better access Case Management services in terms of getting documents in it for housing and just in general having a place to stay every night and being able to make appointments on time so thank you. Good afternoon im john warn er the support service mange with the a and im speaking in support of the resolution and were getting clients coming out of the encampment situations and a lot of clients were able to work with as far as getting them immunizations for hepatitis a and b and were also starting to work with them as far as hepatitis c a lot of the clients coming out of the encampment situations with i. V. Drug use have suffered from help c and were trying to get them in to treatment for that as well with clients coming in to Navigation Centers were able to work with them as far as growth them on to opioid replacement therapies for them and other forms of treatment they might not have gotten and as well a lot of the residents might be hesitant to come in to standard shelter situations and theyre getting them in to the Navigation Centers were able to talk to them about getting in and more formal shelter system and as well a lot of clients coming in have difficultys holding on to maintaining items such as documentation with housing from us being able to hold on to them and help them with documentation as well as getting them to other appointments but they might not have been able to get to. Thank you s. Thank you. My name is dennis mccrae. And i also would like to offer my support for the resolution. We do see the evidence that more shelter beds are needed as well as housing, every night we turn people away from our shelters and they come through maybe sometimes midnight, 1 00 in the morning, we dont have the spaces for them and one of the things that is really, really critical about the expansion of shelters is that it goes a long way to helping preserve life and mr. Kazinski spoke about the hepatitis vaccines and most of the work is done at the shelters and its a hub where people get information and its a hub where people get Health Assistance and so many of those people who were vaccinated for the hepatitis as well as this seasons flu, those things happen at a lot of the shelter sites so the expenseing of shelter beds is really crucial. Thank you. Thank you. Good afternoon my name is shy walldrudge im we run largest single adult homeless shelter on fifth and bryant and we have the only 24 hour Dropin Center which this resolution would definitely help is that we constantly have lines and we are at capacity every night and even with the bad weather we appreciate additional help and support with additional beds or Navigation Centers or tents and anything to keep our clients off the streets. Thank you. Thank you. Any other Public Comments on this item . Seeing none, Public Comments now closed. Mr. Kazisi, question, you mentioned its a go for this year or this winter to open up another thousand beds for temporary shelters and the two you name is about 238. Are we counting those places where some of the changes that opened up it during the winter as part of the thousand or are you thinking that were going to get a few more new places thats never done it before and just build on . This is going to be a combination of efforts including opening up new Navigation Centers, expanding the wilt Shelter Program and those Navigation Centers will be open for years not just the winter. But expanding the winter Shelter Program to get more individuals off the streets and were looking at expanding our master lease Housing Program as well as block leasing housing and our re Housing Programs so this is a multi faceted approach in order to get 1,000 people off the streets as quickly as possible. And then, in a typical, well, with these two examples for instance, in a typical winter, in a year how much do we actually ramp up in regards to again, i guess churches that volunteer to open their doors up in the winter. Yes, so the winter Shelter Program traditionally moves from church to church during the winter and it houses 70 people and during each night and people can stay for seven nights and they can reup their stays if they like to but when we know theres going to be two or three days of severe rainfall we expand and essentially are putting mats on the floors ex and panneding the capacity in of two our larger shelters to serve 50 to 100 people on those nights ok. Thank you, very much. Any questions . Mr. Sheehy. Comments. Yeah, i just wanted to thank mayor lee and the department of housing and the support housing and homelessness and department of public works for their leadership and their commitment to bringing a thousand people off the streets this winter and im honored to cohon or this legislation and we wont house everyone this winter if we dont move quickly so its an important tool to ensure the department of homelessness and Supportive Housing and in nitric which includes the mission beer seeing people on the street and the department of homelessness and many others is limited by the lack of places for people to go and and invest in the city and programs our communities need and i am a co sponsor bays the board should declare shelter emergency and call it what it is and solve it so id like to move this, we may have to amend this first. So should we make a motion to amend. Any objection. I would like to move it as committee report. As amended. Thank you. Thank you. Um, is it ok if i Call Department head up front. Before we discussion. Mr. Kazinski. So you said theres a need of about 1,000 shelter beds and imperativeness is shaved off about four to six months in the process to bring these online. What do you think realistically were looking at in terms of how long it will take to get to 1,000 . To be able to get a thousand people off the streets well the goal is essentially talking about shelter beds and Navigation Centers . Were talking about shelter beds and Navigation Centers and additional rapid housing and permanent housing as well so its a combination of interventions as well as expanding the winter shelter system and our goal is to make that happen by march 21st and the end of the winter if were not able to achieve that goal we should be able to soon there after were pursueing a wide variety of sights and programs to achieve this goal. And you said it says in here 58 of the Homeless Population about 40 4 00 400 people were un sheltered and what you are thinking in terms longterm, longer Term Solutions passes a thousand in terms of the number of shelter beds needed in the city. We clearly need shelter breeds but we need tokes panned the shelter system at the same time were expanding to housing because creating a shelter is essentially not providing exits for people in those shelters means when those beds get filled up people arent going to flow through the system so our approach has been multifaceted for example were experimenting at 1515 south and the new Navigation Center with temporary housing subsidiaries for individuals who are in that Navigation Center and are working or looking for work that can get in to the Housing Market on their own but might need existence and expanding the homeward mound to connect people to friends and family members and other communities and were expanding permanent supporting housing and new units of permanent housing adults and families experiencing homelessness and opening up during the next five years. Was there a time period in San Franciscos history that we had a larger number of shelter beds is this pretty much constant the number that we have now have we shrunk that number, is that the appropriate number for San Francisco . They have been growing overtime if you combined Navigation Centers stabilization units, conventional shelters and family shelters and theyve been transitional housing have been expanding slowly over the time for the past ten years the only shelter that was closed and i could be wrong and i believe there was a shelter at mission rock which was a large shelter open temporarily during el nino that was shut down and other than that the system has been expanding and i think we need to continue expanding that along with expanding Resource Centers and recognizing that while theres people on the streets we need to both meet individuals, meet to try to address on longterm goal getting people out of homelessness in to housing and we need to continue expanding the system to meet the needs of the people on the street and the mayors vision and it talks about balancing those two things in order to again deal with peoples immediate needs but not have them get stuck in to shelter when theyre not able to find exits and their homelessness. You didnt say much about 440 turning street but its your new office . Thats correctioner i believe its the next item on the agenda got it. No more questions on this item. I just would like to say that number one, they could always do better by also want to commend our citys effort as you look at the stats throughout the state that every year its gotten worse. We pretty much remain stable which is really a statement to our efforts and hopefully well in the future years actually reduce that number before we take a vote on this item id like to add my name as a co sponsors is that ok . So theres been a motion. Me too. Add my name as well. Please. I guess if everybodys name on there the motion passes. [laughter] madam, item number 2. Item number 2 resolution declaring an emergency and authorizeing the direct offer public works to construct an access point to front door services, Case Management and Mental Health counseling to individual effected by homelessness at the department of homelessness and support of housing property 440turk street. Ok, we have director kzinski for department of homelessness and edgar lopez to present on this item. Good afternoon, tempt of homelessness and support i have housing to discuss the Emergency Declaration related to the property of 440turke street and wed like to talk first of all about the proposed use of the site at 440 turk street and it will be the Head Quarters of the department of homelessness and Supportive Housing and office space for 105h. S. H. Staff which is not all but the majority of our staff and thank you so some excellent design work by public works and weve been able to design the site to accommodate everybody we need to and well be active monday through friday 7 00 a. M. To 7 00 p. M. Roughly and as the first floor to make this in to a Resource Center primarily a services focus site and after getting feedback from the community that we have changed how were going to use the facility and again it will be primarily our main offices however theres an access point on the first floor of the building and meaning anybody who is experiencing homelessness and that wants to get in to our data system and wants to get assessed and enter inside to our coordinated entry system that will direct people towards Shelter Housing and services will come in and make an appointment and speak with a case manager on site. Also, on the first floor as many of you know, h. S. H. Runs the Homeward Bound Program which helps people get reconnected to family and friends and other communities and we have eight or nine staff in that program where they will be officeed on the first floor so we will have clients coming in to the site and we have seats for about 30 to 40 people which is maybe a little bit more than we need but we want to make sure people arent loitering out in front of the building and again the site will be open 7 00 a. M. To 7 00 p. M. We have not decided definitely but well likely also be open on saturday and sunday so we can still provide people access to our coordinated entry system and this is not going to be a Resource Center or a drop in center where people can come in and hangout for a few hours and get food its a place where come in and get services and that is our available on the site and leave and i believe that any office that is run by the department of homelessness and support i have Housing Needs to be welcome and to people that are experiencing homelessness and we will try to create that environment at our Head Quarters and as you know the site was currently built in 1984 and it was a Housing Authority report and it has 25,500 square feet on two floors with the basements and an elevator and its attached to 430 turk street and it was a residential Apartment Building owned by a tndc so we will be in a Office Condominium because the building is one been it was approved by the board of supervisors and hud at a cost of 5 million. Currently it has many shared Building Systems and the building of 430 turk with four stair heating and windows and no central air and it is a fairly open floor plan with design challenges with public works has done some great work and theres a lot of columns and walls that we cannot remove and this is a design of the first floor and the shadedin area on the werent side is part of the residential building and you will see primarily in the front there are offices for the Homeward Bound Team in that middle area theres some storage and places for homeless folks to sit and we also on site will have restaurant reand shower facilities and this isnt a drop in center and everyone can use them and homeward bound clients getting connected to a family members or friends in other places and need to go on a plane or a bus to get home and they need to greyhound has certain requirements around hygiene and need to make sure people get cleaned up and get their clothes cleaned and theyll be able to do that at this site and we may have other clients who come in crisis get ak stows services if they need to get a shower while theyre waiting with the social workers and you know, well assess that on a case by case bases but want it to be available for people coming in want to go get on a list for shelter and housing and need access to hygiene services. Second floor is primarily all offices i believe about 95 people will be officeed on of our staff will be officeed on the second floor the majority our staff and remaining ten staff will be down on the first floor. Variety of upgrades need to be made to the building and removing interior partisans to create a new layout and ceiling system and pluming upgrades and lighting upgrades and adc upgrades and adding an nhvc system. As you know, this is been discussed quite a bit this summer and we originally held two Large Community meetings in the tender loin neighborhood and heard a lot of concerns from neighbors about opening up another Services Facility in the site and we were looking for this to be 120seat Resource Center with a lot of showers and laundry facilities and bathrooms on sites and neighbors felt like it wasnt an appropriate use of this facility on this particular block and theres a lot of concerns about security and we came up with a different design which weve presented to you today which has been presented out to the community as well and we had a Business Roundtable meeting, several meetings with Community Leaders including the c. B. D. , the alliance for better ter der loin Service Providers and neighborhood and i would say theres not 100 you know union nam tee on how the building should be used it people felt like it should be a Resource Center and some people felt like it should only be offices and not see clients and we think weve come up with is a compromised on something that does a little bit of both mostly serving as our Head Quarters and also being a welcoming place for people coming in to our services at the end of department mayor lee met with a number Community Leaders and business groups and present inside plan to them and explaining this was going to be used as an Access Center not as an assets point not a Research Center and there was general agreement in the room with the one caveat there was a high level of expectations with security around the site and we have security around the building to make sure things remain calm in the lobby as well as security on the outside of the building to make sure that the block remains safe and to contribute to other efforts that are happening in the tender loin to improve security there. And lastly just walking through the budget, the cost of project is 12. 9 million with 5 million for the purchase and the remainder for the rehab coming from three different sources, the 2016 general Obligation Bond and the first issueance picking up 5 million and 2. 22 million in future Obligation Bonds and 5. 8 from the general fund which includes all of the ffnes and it was reallocated from the original proposal that we had submitted to the board of supervisorers to lease the space at a ninth street for offices. Ok, and then what were asking today is an Emergency Declaration that will allow public works to expedite the rehab and code section 6. 60a and the passage of this resolution on december 12th, public works expects to be able to complete the rehab and you know were currently spread in multiple Office Locations and some of which we are using at the were squatting from insights that are controlled by other departments and this is been a challenge in terms of how we coordinate together and how we work as a as well as having the i. T. And other infrastructures we need to operate ace Single Department and so we are hoping that this site will get opened as soon as possible and also i want to say more importantly, this we need the site opened because we need to get moving with our entry system that we have put in to play and one of the issues around homelessness in San Francisco and why mayor lee created the department was to create a more coordinated approach to how we address homelessness to get people quickly in to our programs and help them resolve their homelessness and we need to get this access point so that people can get access and entry system and get services as possible this is a key comb phone ant of our strategic framework without the Emergency Declaration the opening will be delayed by at least six months s so thats the presentation, i dont know if public works has anything to add . Thank you. I have a few questions i want to ask, first of all, can you explain, you have a concept of access point so basically do we have anything like that that exists is this just a new concept for you . This is a new concept in the concept of coordinated entry is new for the city and the slide where you see the picture of coordinated entry a few slides back when its up on the screen, you will see it map of how it works and were going through this process or population by population and weve already opened up two Access Points for homeless families and one is in the bay view and the other is in the Central Market area and then we are going to be issuing an r. F. P. And we will open up additional Access Points for adults and then for youth as we continue the implementation of our strategic framework. And in regards to this vision version of the build on versus the Resource Center whats the difference . The access point and the Resource Center . Resource or a Dropin Center is a place and we have a number of them around the city where people can come in and they can sit down and gate sandwich and get off of the streets for a few hours and take a shower and do the restaurant laundry and sometimes theres Case Management there and sometimes theres not and its essentially a place like a day shelter is another term that people use to describe these and that is not what were proposing. In regards to the funding break down of the renovations, i guess, you showed some numbers earlier and can you flash it back up there. Starting with that 5 million on top. There we go. Um so what part of the budget is going towards renovating the office space versus the Supportive Services space or the access space. A third of the funds are being used to support the clients serving parts of the building which is not just the access point its also we have homeward bound staff on site as well as other staff who directly serve clients getting them access and the first will be more client facing. Im trying to get a handle and wrap myself around this concept that is this is an emergency. Mainly because in my mind, the original version of this was to build out as office space so
