And Adult Services the office serves at the courtappointed conservator of vulnerable individuals and estates. Due to declining health, some of these individuals are marginally housed for prolonged periods of time while waiting for appropriate housing option. This funding will be used to help them attain or be placed in a safe and stable home such as assisted living, supported housing or similar housing. Those served must meet the c. L. F. And pg criteria. We will provide administration while the p. G. Office is Program Support including Case Management, in person visits, monthly approval of the housing subsidies and other activities to ensure the equitable access and appropriate use of the funds. The p. G. Office will prioritize access based on the conserveties need and the amount will be set okays by case base on the casebycase basis. The subsidy will range depending on the clients need, functional and financial. 30 to 50 of their income while others may be subsidized up to 100 due to lack of income or resources available. Based on the current need the p. G. Has identified for this funding, the fund can cover up to 10 conserveties annually. It will include monthly subsidies and moverelated cost and security deposits, moving boxes, packing and transportation for the move and furniture and other similar items. At this time i would be happy to answer questions from commissioners. I have one question. From the time the process begins for the individual until it is approved and the individual begins to get services, how much time does that normally take . Depending on where they are, we have entered into agreements with the facilities or supportive housing. If that is in place it could be very quick, within, i would say, less than a month. I would say two to four weeks. Then additional time may be required if vendor agreements havent been set yet. Thank you. Any other comments . A question on the operating expense details. The consultants, line 21. Appendix page b1, page 3, line 21. The contractor. Yes, at this time because this is a pilot program, c. L. F. May need to pull in a temporary staff to get this up and running. There is some funding allocated to allow that. Then as you can see on the next year, it is blank because by then we participate there will be an actual staff. Over the page, the purchase of service detail. 304,348 each year. What are they . That is the actual subsidy, the funding for the subsidies and the moverelated costs. Thank you. I have two questions. First should i consider the c. L. F. Similar to purchases services and Case Management. Are those similar in nature like a pace program. Should i think of c. L. F. Like a pace program . I think it would be similar. Of course, pace has something other. I think there are elements, the purchase of service dollars. Other than that, no, this is intensive Case Management to help people who are at risk of institutionalization to come out and live in the community, the community can mean in this case assisted living, but generally living in the community in San Francisco. We have found that the intensive Case Management is often what people need to stay at home safely. I want to add i it is the pay or of last resort. Any other comments or questions from the commission . Any comments or questions from the public. Hearing none, may i have a motion to approve. So moved. Second. Further comment . All in favor . Any opposed. Thank you the motion carries. Item j2019 through june 30, 2021 an additional amount of 200,000 plus 10 continuing been see for a total amount not to exceed 1 million. This item before you was an ad back. It is 100,000 per year ongoing with the idea of supporting cantonese language capacity in Advocacy Services around the Skilled Nursing facilities and assisted living facilities. We are going to do that in cooperation with the ombudsman who are going to use this funding to hire a contonies speaking staff person to focus on that. Ombudsmen provide services. They are known for responding to complaints by residents. They do a number of other things, providing consultations to facilities, families, residents, letting them know about their rights and things like that. Wit to any advance healthcare directives completed in a sniff. That is a legal requirements. Also including legislative hearings and changes in regulations and practices in this area. This is going to focus on skilled nurses facilities. Much of the work is with clients. They will also focus time on outreach and educational presentations within the facilities and within the target population to try to increase awareness and accessing of Ombudsman Services. Beyond the cantonese capacity that will be increased here, the program itself has a pretty good language capacity including mandarin, spanish and french and japanese. Thank you very much. Any questions or comments . A quick one. Within all of this on page 7 of 8. There is the designated community focal point. Is that where it is advertised. If you go there, people would hear about it and be able to know . The focal points are age and disability resource centers. California department of aging wants to make sure that when we do our big area plan we designate community focal points. These are places where hubs where information can be given out about the variety of services available. The California Department of aging wants us to make sure we identify those focal points in our contract documents with every contract that involves cda funding. The idea is here and it will be clear that the Ombudsman Program will say these people are out there. Yes, first the ombudsman can reach out to be sure they are aware of the services. We are also making sure the agencies are aware of the Ombudsman Service should someone come into that site needing assistance related to the facility. The idea is that the sites would know about that. They are informed and could helped. Thank you. Yes on the subcontractors 9 and 10. Chinese mandarin specialists. The other one is another dialect. Why is there a difference of 28,000 versus 16,000 . Is that because of the number of hours or what . Yes, the number of hours. What this represents back here is that the Ombudsman Program is doing whatever they can to get language capacity and get qualified people working for them. Sometimes there are people excellent ombudsman staff who have other things going on not looking for a fulltime job. Benson has done well to work with those folks to keep them in his stable of staff out there in the community so that is the difference there. Thank you. Any other comments or questions . Any comments or questions from the public . Hearing none may i have a motion to approve. So moved. Second. Any further comments or questions . Hearing none, call the question. All in favor. A. Thank you the motion carrieds. Next is to all right. Item 8. A motion regarding whether to disclose the discussions during closed session pursuant to San Francisco administrative code section 67. 12a. Do i have a motion for discussion purposes to disclose . So moved. Second. The motion is whether we should or should not disclose. If you are in favor of disclosure please indicate. Those opposed to disclosure. All in favor of not disclosing. A. Any opposed thank you. The motion is not to disclose the items that were discussed in the closed session. Any Public Comment on that particular motion . Thank you. Any general Public Comment . Good morning, commissioners and executive director. I am the director of the Richmond Senior center. I am not sure if this is the time to come in or if i should have come in at the beginning of the meeting. We look to invite you to an event we are hosting on october 19th. The Richmond Senior center in partnership with the round table, a coalition of senior agencies are going to be hosting one hard thing. That is an event we started with our village to recruit neighborhood volunteers to send them in pairs of two or three to the homes of seniors who have requested help with one hard thing. We did it twice a year at the start and the end of daylight savings time. It started with setting back clocks. Then additionally doing Something Like flipping a mattress or cleaning out behind the fridge or changing the Smoke Detector battery, those things that help people remain in their homes. It is so popular we do it quarterly. We wanted to host an event this october that encouraged leadership of agencies that serve seniors so they could see some of the great work other agencies are doing and meet the senior in the community. I did send an insight and you should get an email. We would love you to join us to see the good work that is happening out there. Thank you very much. Any other announcements . May i have a motion to adjourn. Motion. Second. We are adjourned. Thank you all. My name is alan schumer. I am a fourth generation san franciscan. In december, this building will be 103 years of age. It is an incredibly rich, rich history. [ ] my core responsibility as city hall historian is to keep the history of this building alive. I am also the tour program manager, and i chair the city advisory commission. I have two ways of looking at my life. I want it to be i wanted to be a Fashion Designer for the movies, and the other one, a political figure because i had some force from family members, so it was a constant battle between both. I ended up, for many years, doing the fashion, not for the movies, but for for san franciscan his and then in turn, big changes, and now i am here. The work that i do at city hall makes my life a broader, a richer, more fulfilling than if i was doing something in the Garment Industry. I had the opportunity to develop relationships with my docents. It is almost like an extended family. I have formed incredible relationships with them, and also some of the people that come to take a tour. She was a dressmaker of the first order. I would go visit her, and it was a special treat. I was a tiny little girl. I would go with my wool coat on and my special little dress because at that period in time, girls did not wear pants. The Garment Industry had the at the time that i was in it and i was a retailer, as well as the designer, was not particularly favourable to women. You will see the predominant designers, owners of huge complexes are huge stores were all male. Women were sort of relegated to a lesser position, so that, you reached a point where it was a difficult to survive and survive financially. There was a woman by the name of diana. She was editor of the bazaar, and evoke, and went on and she was a miraculous individual, but she had something that was a very unique. She classified it as a third i. Will lewis brown junior, who was mayor of San Francisco, and was the champion of reopening this building on january 5th of 1999. I believe he has not a third eye , but some kind of antenna attached to his head because he had the ability to go through this building almost on a daily basis during the restoration and corrects everything so that it would appear as it was when it opened in december of 1915. The board of supervisors approved that, i signed it into law. Jeffrey heller, the city and county of San Francisco oh, and and your band of architects a great thing, just a great thing. To impart to the history of this building is remarkable. To see a person who comes in with a gloomy look on their face , and all of a sudden you Start Talking about this building, the gloomy look disappears and a smile registers across their face. With children, and i do mainly all of the childrens tours, that is a totally different feeling because you are imparting knowledge that they have no idea where it came from, how it was developed, and you can Start Talking about how things were before we had computer screens, cell phones, lake in 1915, the mayor of San Francisco used to answer the telephone and he would say, good morning, this is the mayor. At times, my clothes make me feel powerful. Powerful in a different sense. I am not the biggest person in the world, so therefore, i have to have something that would draw your eye to me. Usually i do that through color, or just the simplicity of the look, or sometimes the complication of the look. I have had people say, do those shoes really match that outfit . Retirement to me is a very strange words. I dont really ever want to retire because i would like to be able to impart the knowledge that i have, the knowledge that i have learned and the ongoing honor of working in the peoples palace. You want a longterm career, and you truly want to give something to do whatever you do, so long as you know that you are giving to someone or something youre then yourself. Follow your passion and learn how to enrich the feelings along the way. Shop and dine in the 49 promotes local businesses, and challenges residents to do their shopping within the 49 square miles of San Francisco. By supporting local services in our neighborhood, we help San Francisco remain unique, successful, and vibrant. So where will you shop and dine in the 49 . I am the owner of this restaurant. We have been here in north beach over 100 years. [speaking foreign language] [ ] [speaking foreign language] [ ] [speaking foreign language] [speaking foreign language] [ ] good morning and welcome to the street scape project and muni project. I certainly as the public works director for the city and county here and i want to thank you for all coming out to celebrate this very exciting project that will improve the lives of the many people who use this inner sunset corridor. The project which spans all the way from aguelo to 19th avenue will improve the quality of life and Transit Services of this diverse neighborhood, which serves families, students, merchants and tourists alike president the street scape improvement is a collaborative project with the ms works and the utilitys commission. For the past two years, theyve been working together to make crucial improvements to the inner sunset street scape and nearby Transit Services that not only make the area more vibrant and more accessible, safe and reliable. When you look around the surrounding streets, you see the vibrant landscapes that add to the neighborhoods charm, improve seating, as you can see, visitor striving, new street trees. All of this creates a healthy environment and a great carbon footprint. What many do not see are the upgraded traffic signals, the repaved roads and all of the help to improve thed safety and transit service. Theres many components to this project that has not been seen. We have improvements to the underground sewer line and improvements to our water lines, our firefightings were upgraded or replaced, all to increase capacity and to minimize any destructions that will provide more Reliable Service to the community. Also, as a part of this project, theres more than 3,000 feet of pipe that was installed for the department of technology for future fiber optic cables and this is a great partnership. As we do many projects on patrero were installing pipe and well have the pipes electric in and, of course, less destruction to the neighbor while the projects happen. With all of that said, it brings me great joy to see the work that all of these agencies are doing together and how we come together to improve the quality of life of this diverse neighborhood in San Francisco. San francisco. I want to thank john thomas and our project manager, johnny farm, harlin kelly and his team from the puc and mr. Maguire and, of course, our contractor, who was out here everyday making sure that we got this job done. And now, the person who helps to make all of these projects happen, the person who makes our neighborhoods better for everyone, the person looking out for the future of San Francisco, without future delay, let me introduce our mayor, london breed. [cheers and applause] its so good to be back. I remember when we first set on the path to do this project for this neighborhood, andrea, i just noticed you were over there and its great to see you and martha and so many folks from the community. You all did the work because you wanted Something Better for this community. We have kids everywhere and these kids from stepping stone preschool are joining us today. And youll get your snacks in just a minute, so dont worry. [cheers and applause] we have kids, we have families, seniors, people who, basically, love this community and so many amazing restaurants, so many amazing places to shop. This is like really a jewel in San Francisco and, in fact, when improve was supervisor, i came to this community a lot to hideout and relax. And it was great. What was so important was to make it a lot offer annua and dl with safety and Public Infrastructure improvements. One of the things that i spent time with some of the neighbors doing is standing on the corner of ninth and irving and many of you know the familiar sound of some of the onl old muni trains which still come through this way, how loud and heavy they are. Remember i said the new trains will be much quieter. Did you just hear how much quieter the new trains are . A loa lot of the promises to ths community are finally happening and it was because of your patience. We know that it was very challenging to come in and the construction and the loss of parking and tearing up the streets and digging in and you all, through this whole challenge, you were very patient and we really appreciate that, because now we are here realizing just really a dream for community, an improvement to the sidewalks, an improvement to the infrastructure and an improvement to our water pressure system so that when there is a fire or emergency, the pressure i know this is not probably that interesting, but it makes all the difference when dealing with any emergency that water suppression and our equipment and the systems actually work when we need it the most. The fiber optic cables, improvements to the sidewalks, all of the Amazing Things that will make this community not just safer but more boost and sobeautiful. I want to thank thet park neighbors, at the time of the leadership of andrea yaguin, that you pushed us to give some attention to this community and shine a light on the challenges that exist here is why were here, as well as the inner sunset merchants association. The merchants here who serve the community, this is really not just a place where so many neighbors enjoy and eat and go to the Hardware Stores and pick up glasses. People from ucfs spend a lot of time here during lunch and people from the park spend a lot of time here and this community has come together as a force to make amazing projects like this happen. So im really excited. Looking forward to doing even more, because i have not forgotten about the wires over on ninth and irving and what we need to do to underground those wires. I know thats important and were talking about right down the street, the gateway on gaten lincoln and ninth and to really transform this community because its a jewel in our community. Thank you to the department of public works, to mta, all of the contractors, all of incredible workers who basically not only worked in this community but spent money at the restaurants and this was definitely a great effort and took time and here we are, a celebration of just really an amazing project that is going to change the quality of life for the residents who live here. So enjoy it and next up, i want to take the opportunity to introduce your supervisor, valley brown, who as you remember was out here on a regular basis working with you all to move this project forward. She drove me a little crazy because she was running out of patience with the city bureaucracy and trying to get it done. And now she gets to enjoy the fruits of her labor. Ladies and gentlemen, your supervisor, valley brown [cheers and applause] you know what they say what doesnt kill us makes us stronger and thats how i feel about this project. I want to say im sorry to everyone. It was her fault. She started it and then i had to come in and finish it, right . [ laughter ] yeah, im not going go over everything weve done because i know mohamed nurue gave you all of the sexy details. But what i see is this neighborhood coming together and saying, ok, this is painful and especially the merchants, but we know once its finished, it will be amazing and 21 million later, yeah, it looks pretty amazing, id say. I want to thank people and i have to read this because i always forget one person and then i get in trouble after wars. Afterwards. So thank you, mayor, breed for starting it, city administrator, naomi kelly and mohamed nurue from public works. I mean, this is something i have to say was he really jumped in and said, lets make this happen and lets make it as less painful as we can. Acting director for sfmta, tom mcguire and San Franciscos puc. I would call everyone on this list and said if there was a pile of dirt and they couldnt park their car at 7 00 at night. So the responsiveness of their teams were amazing. I want to thank all of their teams because every week we had an issue, whether it was the veterinarian or people getting dirt in their driveway and couldnt park their car. Park driveway, this is all things that they really stepped up. I put 75k into budget so we could do a Pilot Programme called curb management. And this something i would think about because barbara, i dont know where barbara is from the neighborhood, she would tell me everyday when i walked by her house how we had people parking in her driveway or doubleparking to run in and get the ubers and stuff to get the food from the merchants. We said, how can we solve these issues . They said, parking is so horrible here. I heard that, no [ laughter ] with these parking, so really having to look at creatively looking at curb management, so were in the process of right now of actually having a Community Engagement of this curb management and how do we make it easier for people to park and easier for businesses to have people be able to come in and get what they need and get out so theyre not parked there for hours. How do we, you know, get the uber eats and all of the other deliveries, where they have a place to park and can get in and out so theyre not parking in barbaras driveway . So this is actually happening now and once again, the inner sunset park neighbor and merchants are at the tables saying well work with you and this is the only way i like to work because i came as a neighbor activist and i didnt like it when people did things in my naked an neighborhood andt when i walked out the door that it was done. So thank you to everyone for being here today. Im really excited for all of the work thats done. Its amazing. And should i bring up naomi . Naomi so now i would like to introduce naomi kelly, a city administrator. This was her baby to manage, all of the different people to make sure it was done right. And so naomi. Thank you. [cheers and applause] thank you, supervisor brown and mayor breed and director of public works. This project has more meaning to me because i live in the neighborhood. I spend so much time here on these corners, going to amazing fantasy with my kids, burn sf, jamba juice, you name it, so i live through the construction and understand the merchants and the pain you went through. But boy, did this turn out beautiful ive been to many scape improvements in different commercial corridor and i have to say these seats and planters are some of the best ive seen in all of San Francisco. So you all did a great job on that. [cheers and applause] again, i want to thank mohamed nurue and john thomas is completing this project because it was done on time. Public works delivers many Key Construction projects throughout the city and having it done on time so were not disrupting the merchants for longer than we should is very important. You heard this specific project was 21. 3 million and its connect the to residents and were more resilient. As chair of the tenyear capital plan committee, we have done a lot to make sure that we have coordinating our projects. It was putting in our new sewer lines and water line and thats important for someone who lives in this neighborhood because i can tell you where every sinkhole was. I was drawing diagrams and handing it to the sf puc saying these are the most important parts to touch in the sunset. Underground, weve put in more than 4,000 the mayor is right. That was the large effort budget item at 7. 3 million. , along for the water and sewer line to appreciate upgraded protection for this community in case of a potential earthquake. Also groun underground, we put n municipal fiber providing secure signals to this community. At the street level, pedestrian and muni riders will see improvements as you can see with the curb ramps and that was approximately 5. 7 million. But not just here in the inner sunset aisles, but public works have resurfaced 644 blocks across the city this year and we Work Together as one city, connected, and im pleased to introduce tom maguire, the interim director of transportation. [cheers and applause] its great to be here and celebrate the puc, public works, city administrator and the elected officials who helped get the funds together and get the wills together to make this happen and the street scape is basically but when i look at it, i dont just see beautiful planters and trees but safety. I see muni riders getting on and off trains going by and we see them getting off on a nice, safe sidewalk. Theyre not getting off into traffic like they do elsewhere in the city and this is the experience we want. We know this is the lifeline of the sunset, one of the busiest corridors and the streets in this area are some of the streets that are high injury vision zero and we want to make sure transit riders are safe, not just on their journey on the trains but when we get on and off on beautiful street scape. So thank you to the community for your patience as we have been working with our fell lets agenciefellowagencies to get thd thank you to everyone who fought for the funding and fought for the design to get this project done. Thank you. Now after listening to all of us, after im sure youre bored, i want to bring up andrea jabli to give her viewpoints of this project as a neighbor, thank you. To the people who live here and work here and the merchants who come here, we didnt just do this as a photoop. We did it because there are two important reason for people in this neighborhood to have this happening and one is the muni, the end juda will be faster. Youll get to work faster and home faster and anyone who does that everyday understands how important that is. Its also going to be safer for you. Now youre not going to be hit by cars trying to squeeze in between the boarding ramps. Most importantly, ninth avenue and irving is an intersection that is painful for people who walk around this neighborhood on a frequent basis. Youre sometimes stopped at a light for up to two and a half minutes while waiting for trains to come and go and bikes, muni, all that stuff. Now that the stops have been reconfigured so that the buses get through the light before they have to stop, that intersection will be so much more pleasant for all of us to experience. So thats why were here and why we did it and everyone who has put up with the noise and all of that, give yourself a round of applause. [cheers and applause] thank you, lets give the project is big hand. This is a great improvement. Our mayor is challenging us to continue do more projects like this and public works and the partnership with all of the agencies will continue to deliver for you. So with that said, we will cut the ribbon and so, where is the ribboncutting team here . We have behind us. And would the folks like martha, barbara and other Community Members feel free to come up and cut this rib bin. Ribbon. This is for your community and we want to make sure youre a part of it. Are we ready . Yes we sure . 543 youre not even counting. Are we ready . Yes clam 54321 valencia has been a constantly evolving roadway. The first bike lanes were striped in 1999, and today is the major north and south bike route from the Mission Neighborhood extending from market to mission street. It is difficult to navigate lindsay on a daily basis, and more specifically, during the morning and evening commute hours. From 2012 to 2016, there were 260 collisions on valencia and 46 of those were between vehicles and bikes. The mayor shows great leadership and she knew of the long history of collisions and the real necessity for safety improvements on the streets, so she actually directed m. T. A. To put a pilot of protected bike lanes from market to 15th on valencia street within four months time. [ ] valencia is one of the most used north south bike routes in San Francisco. It has over 2100 cyclists on an average weekday. We promote bicycles for everyday transportation of the coalition. Valencia is our mission fits our mission perfectly. Our members fall 20 years ago to get the first bike lane stripes. Whether you are going there for restaurants, nightlife, you know , people are commuting up and down every single day. I have been biking down the valencia street corridor for about a decade. During that time, i have seen the emergence of ridesharing companies. We have people on bikes, we have people on bike share, scooters, we have people delivering food and we have uber taking folks to concerts at night. One of the main goals of the project was to improve the overall safety of the corridor, will also looking for opportunities to upgrade the bikeway. The most common collision that happens on valencia is actually due to double parking in the bike lane, specifically during, which is where a driver opens the door unexpectedly. We kept all the passengers the passenger levels out, which is the white crib that we see, we double the amount of commercial curbs that you see out here. Most people arent actually perking on valencia, they just need to get dropped off or pick something up. Half of the commercial loading zones are actually after 6 00 p. M. , so could be used for fiveminute loading later into the evening to provide more opportunities or passenger and commercial loading. The five minute loading zone may help in this situation, but they are not along the corridor where we need them to be. One of the most unique aspects of the valencia pilot is on the block between 14th street. We worked with a pretty big mix of people on valencia. On this lot, there are a few schools. All these different groups had concerns about the safety of students crossing the protected bikeway whether they are being dropped off or picked up in the morning or afternoon. To address those concerns, we installed concrete loading islands with railings railings that channel channeled a designated crossing plane. We had a lot of conversations around how do you load and unload kids in the mornings and the afternoons . I do like the visibility of some of the design, the safety aspects of the boarding pilot for the school. We have painted continental crosswalks, as well as a yield piece which indicates a cyclist to give the rightofway so they can cross the roadway. This is probably one of the most unique features. During the planning phase, the m. T. A. Came out with three alternatives for the long term project. One is parking protected, which we see with the pilot, they also imagined a valencia street where we have two bike lanes next to one another against one side of the street. A twoway bikeway. The third option is a Center Running twoway bikeway, c. Would have the two bike lanes running down the center with protection on either side. Earlier, there werent any enter lane designs in San Francisco, but i think it will be a great opportunity for San Francisco to take the lead on that do so the innovative and different, something that doesnt exist already. With all three concepts for valencias longterm improvement , theres a number of tradeoffs ranging from parking, or what needs to be done at the intersection for signal infrastructure. When he think about extending this pilot or this still this design, theres a lot of different design challenges, as well as challenges when it comes to doing outreach and making sure that you are reaching out to everyone in the community. The pilot is great. It is a nobrainer. It is also a teaser for us. Once a pilot ends, we have thrown back into the chaos of valencia street. What were trying to do is incremental improvement along the corridor door. The Pilot Project is one of our first major improvements. We will do an initial valuation in the spring just to get a glimpse of what is happening out here on the roadway, and to make any adjustments to the pilot as needed. This fall, we will do a more robust evaluation. By spring of 2020, we will have recommendations about longterm improvements. I appreciate the pilot and how quickly it went in and was built, especially with the Community Workshops associated with it, i really appreciated that opportunity to give input. We want to see valencia become a really welcoming and comfortable neighborhood street for everyone, all ages and abilities. Theres a lot of benefits to protected bike lanes on valencia , it is not just for cyclists. We will see way more people biking, more people walking, we are just going to create a really friendly neighborhood street. [ ]. Good morning. Friday morning. Yay. The meeting will come to order. This is the regular meeting of the zero Vision Committee for friday, october 4, 2019. I am commissioner norman yee and i would be chairing todays meeting. I am joined by commissioner peskin and vice chair commissioner stephanie will be here
