I am chair of the budget and finance committee. I am joined by supervisor stefani and. Four. I would like to thing Samuel Williams from sfgovtv for broadcasting this medium. Meeting. Please be sure to silence cell phones. Madame clerk can you please call item number one. Item one, 191022. Resolution authorizing the department of technology to enter into an agreement between the city and county of San Francisco and convergeone, inc. , for the purchase of cisco products and services, with a not to exceed amount of 70,000,000 for the term ending november 1, 2022, to commence following board approval, with two twoyear options to extend at the sole and absolute discretion of the city. Thank you very much. We have the city chief information officer. Good morning, supervisors. Thank you for having us here today. I would like to start with i think you two ryan roberts with a thank you to ryan rober roberts. We are here today to talk about an Enterprise Agreement with coverageone for products and services. [inaudible] this was a competitive agreement with an rfp. Where we advertise for cisco retailers. Coverageone scored the highest of these three beaters. The term of this contract would be for three years with two options to extend for an additional two years for potential total of seven years. The not to exceed amount is 65 million with no minimum commitment. This is based on our historic spend of 10 million per year on cisco products and services. The contract will be available for use, if needed, to all city departments. We are asking you to approve the amended resolution, and the contract which creates greater opportunities for local Business Enterprises. We will talk more about that. The scope of the agreement. We are anticipating 22 departments working together, and the expected annual expenditure would be around 10 million for cisco products and services. This is what has historically been done since 2014. What cisco does is they build the hardware and software, basically the plumbing for our network, our Communication Systems and access to the internet. It is telecommunications as well as the networking. The projects that are envisioned and are awaiting this contract is the new permit center. We will be installing a nextGeneration Network. Our new phone system which is voiceover ip and also providing access to Call Services for the permit departments. What is important to understand is that this will be the vehicle that we used to bring the next Generation Network to the city to support business applicatio applications, increased security, and performance, and really build something over the next 15 years serves all of the business needs, communication data access, performance for our lines of business. We will also be replacing our aged phone system and support a mobile workforce and also give us a very secure access to Cloud Services to support organizational collaboration, and all of the reasons why we would move to cloud infrastructure. Some of the benefits of this Enterprise Agreement, which is so very important, is to leverage the whole citys purchasing power to get the highest level of discounting on this expensive equipment. Converge and understand pricing structures which is really important, because as they bundle our procurements together will be done in a way to have the highest Service Level as well as the highest discount. We want to increase our efficiency on procurement. In the past we have been doing little contracts and it is 1020 steps, it is very inefficient it delays projects and delays our work. This will be much more efficient. Importantly it will provide visibility on this expenditure. Over time we can better understand what departments are purchasing what. We can match a procurement to Maintenance Agreements on Service Level agreements. Additional services that will be part of this Enterprise Agreement with converge one is a presale which is very important. They will be able to pre stage a lot of this equipment. Loaded up. Test before it is even delivered to the city. Also consolidating our maintenance contracts which is really helpful, because again, we will be saving money as we start to ensure our Maintenance Agreements match with what we are using. Its very important and that we are getting the best the dollar value those. Some more reasons we have talked about, to reduce costs to get the higher discounts to increase efficiency and to improve the visibility. The amendment that we have made to the contract is to support local Business Enterprise provisions. The amendment you have in your packet, the amended resolution and the accompanying contract, given the size and length of this contract we sought ways to retain quality and price while increasing opportunity over time. Working with the Contract Monitoring Division and the office of Contract Administration this is what we are proposing and what we have done. We have modified the contract to include a 20 goal for professional services for the lb ease. There will be a separate process working with oca and contracting monitor division. To make additional opportunities for l. B. E. s for this 5 million over the term of this contract. Available to them providing services in that network scope. We also have agreement from cisco to work to help l. B. E. s in San Francisco become certified partners. It is training, it is a lot of things and we will be looking at how the vendor can help us as well. That is the amendment. A bit about the historical spe spend. This chart shows you what we have expended over time. I think what you will see here is that this discount will actually, what we are anticipating is we are expecting a savings of 2 million per year with this Enterprise Agreement. That allows us either to bring new projects forward, or to return those savings back to the budget process. That is the presentation i have for you this morning. I know we gave you a big pile of handouts. Do you have any questions for us . Colleagues, any questions or comments . Seeing then. Can we have a bla report, plea please . Good morning, members of the community. The board of supervisors is being asked to approve an agreement with coverageone to provide cisco products. This contract is actually approved for a three year initial term with two year extension. The purpose of having this contract, it is a cisco products retailer. It is to consolidate. The purchase of city departments of cisco products. We did ask for a 65 milliondollar amount, it will extend the entire term. Our understanding is it is a discount that comes with this contract are really based on the larger volume than 65 million. We do summarize the discounts on table three, page four of our report. They are expected to add up to 20 per year on city purchases. The board of supervisors would not be approving the extension of the contract as long as expenditures are the 65 million spending authority. It is our understanding that they need that level of spending to get the discount and we are recommending approval. Thank you very much. Any comments or questions . Any members of the public like to comment on item number one. Seeing then. Public comment is now closed. So, i just want to say thank you for adding this amendment in about including our l. B. E. s. I think in a city, we should be spreading the wealth. So thank you. Mr. City attorney, are these amendments sufficient . No, you can make the amendments and pass the item out of committee today. Any comments or questions . This is a fairly large contract i think that consolidation will save us 2 million per year. Thank you to your staff for diligently being efficient on this and bringing this to us. Okay. I would like to make a motion to approve the amendment before us, can take that without objection. Thank you very much. Move this to the full board with a positive recommendation as amended. Madame clerk, can you call item number two . Item two, 190842. Ordinance renewing and extending a prior waiver and refund of investigation fees imposed by Building Code, section 107a. 5, for persons registered with the office of cannabis through december 31, 2020; amending the health code to extend the date beyond which temporary medical cannabis dispensary permits issued under article 33 of the health code are rendered invalid, from december 31, 2019, to december 31, 2020; amending the police code to extend the date beyond which temporary cannabis business permits issued under article 16 of the police code cannot be extended from december 31, 2019, to december 31, 2020; and amending the planning code to extend the date by which a grandfathered medical cannabis dispensary, as defined in the planning code, must have received a permit to operate from the department of Public Health to be deemed a temporary cannabis sales use, as defined in the planning code, from december 31, 2019 to december 31, 2020. Thank you, madame clerk. That is a mouthful there. The speaker today is supervisor mandelman. I just want to make sure that there is clarity on the committee about what that means. Supervisor mandelman introduced a substitute ordinance last tuesday replacing the original that was in the file. The substitute ordinance is in the packet of todays materials. But the agenda lifts the title of the original ordinance. Supervisor. Four, and tends to make amendments today to the ordinance that are sensitive. You can amend, you will be amending the substitute and then those amendments will trigger a continuance to the next weeks budget. You amended the title, supervisor . There are amendments to the title that it will reflect the substitute title, and also additional amendments that supervisor. Four is making today. I think we are going to take your lead on this. Please start. Thank you for your consideration of this item. This ordinance will allow cannabis businesses participating in the Amnesty Program to continue to access the fee waivers i will extend permits through 2020. The following passage of proposition 64 which legalized Recreational Cannabis activity in the state of california. The city started a registration process that allowed nonretail cannabis business arbitrators to come forward and make themselves and activities known to the city. This process has closed almost 250 operators in the areas of cultivation, manufacturing, distribution, testing and delivery and allow the city to begin to move any of these operations at the legal marketplace. These operators were able to apply for a temporary cannabis business permit submitting to inspections by the department of building inspection. The Building Code is an investigation fee for any work performed without a required Building Code permit in an effort to ensure that these operators focus their Financial Resources on coming into compliance, the board of supervisors passed an ordinance in 2017 waving and refunding the fee. That ordinance expired on december 31, 2018. Due to unforeseen delays, some operators were not able to complete their inspections prior to that date. This ordinance will extend the deadline for these fee waivers through december 31, 2020 so that these remaining businesses can pass their inspections and come into full compliance without being assessed fees. The ordinance will also extend the terms of the temporary cannabis business permits under which these businesses are operating through december 31, 2021 as the office of cannabis works through their permitting backlog and process as a permanent. The onus will amend the health code to allow for 120 day extensions until december 31, 2021 of existing permits. These temporary extensions are necessary to successfully transition our medical expense raise to recreational dont you sale and allow them to continue operations and remain in compliance while supporting our broader goals. I do have amendments today to be made to the substitute version of the ordinance which is what is in front of you. These amendments incorporate the recommendation of the Planning Commission that the ordinance extend the adult use cannabis permit from four years instead of three. These amendments will allow more time for the cannabis to process for the adult use permits. I want to thank and acknowledge mr. Rodriguez, at the office of cannabis. Mr. Lott is here today to answer questions. I also want to thank Sarah Crowley from the City Attorneys Office on my aid for their work on the ordinance. Thank you, supervisor. Any comments or questions from colleagues . Mr. Law i have a question for you. We recently appointed members to the cannabis oversight committ committee. As has the committee began to convene yet . Yes. Ray law from the office of cannabis. The seventh member has been confirmed yesterday which means right now we have a quorum. The first meeting should happen within 30 days. Right now we are finalizing a contract with our vendor to support our oversight committee. We anticipate that at the first meeting will happen by late november. Okay. That will not be in time to actually review this piece of legislation, is that correct . Unfortunately, it will not. Thank you very much. Lets open this up for public it may be, mr. Starr from the Planning Department might want to say something, he looks like he wants to say something. Thank you. Im here for the Planning Commission they heard this last week on october 24 and plan to recommend approval with modifications. Extending the temporary use permit. Thank you very much. Lets open this up for Public Comment. Seeing none. Public comment is closed. No comments or questions. I will say because these are substantive amendments, lets vote on the amendments i make a motion to move the amendments with a positive recommendation, i mean, approve the amendments. Thank you very much. Without objection. And then we make a motion to continue this item into the next meeting, as amended. Thank you very much. Madame clerk can you please call item number three . Item three, 190997. Resolution retroactively authorizing two agreements for cleanpowersf to purchase electricityrelated products from Pacific Gas Electric company for a term of january 1, 2020, through december 31, 2022, for a total cost of 26,070,118; and retroactively authorizing the sale of electricityrelated products to Pacific Gas Electric company and Southern California Edison Company for a term of january 1, 2020, through december 31, 2022, in an amount not to exceed 3,500,000. Thank you very much. We have barbara hale. Good morning. Thank you for having me. Today we are requesting retroactive approval of a three year electricity product contract with Pacific Gas Electric that is valued at about 1,100. If i get into the details of that im going to give you a quick update on cleanpowersf. Cleanpowersf is a Retail Electric Service offering that requires this product. Today we have our cleanpowersf enrollment steps for you. We are serving about 380,000 san franciscans now. That is businesses and residents. We are happy to say that about 97 of the folks that we offered service to decided to stay with us. We have two products, a super green and a green product, our super green customers, you see it here, 6800. They receive 100 Renewable Energy from us. Those customers who stay in our program as green customers, our default product have a portfolio of about 50 california compliant, Renewable Energy in their supply. Together these two Product Offerings provide a rate, 87 below with the citywide admissions levels were in 1990. We benchmark back to that 1990 in all of our climate work. At this. , we are moving forward with a planning process. We are moving forward with contract approval for the board. You will be seen that same. That is some of the activities that now for some details on the specific request. As a load serving entity the sfpuc and power are required by state law and forced by the california puc to meet the Resource Adequacy requirements. The requirements intended to ensure sophistic sufficient resources are available in california to meet high demand level days. It is based on demand forecast and established according to a methodology that has been adopted under state law. Under the recently modified requirements we must procure Resource Adequacy products three years ahead from a geographic regions. We must report our compliance to the california puc. Our Compliance Report for the 20202022 timeframe is due to the puc on october 31. How do we go about our efforts to comply . We conducted conducted solicitations i would participated in solicitations that others held like utilities and other ccas. They put out multiple solicitations our self, since april, for Resource Adequacy products. We execute contracts with several suppliers as a result of those efforts. But still did not have enough supply under contract to meet our requirements for this time. We also participated in pg es 2019 multiyear solicitation that was issued in july 2019. Pg e holds at most, if not all come of the remaining market supply. They had most of the customers, so it made sense that they had most of the supply as customers moved over and enrolled in other programs like our cleanpowersf program. Now we need to move those products over to. They submitted a bid on august 6, we were short lifted in that solicitation. This is a time sensitive transaction. The general manager at the p. U. C. Was required to sign it in advance of your approval. That happened actually i dont have the date for when that happen. It happened recently. We received our Commission Approval and have come before you now for your approval. Without that are a capacity that the contract before you provides us we may face substantial fines and charlotte charges from the california p. U. C. We estimate upwards of 30 million. Going forward we are coordinating with other cca, and other state electricity Market Participants to propose a longterm solution to the challenges we are facing in the Resource Adequacy capacity market. With this regulatory framework. We have submitted a proposal Resource Adequacy central buyer proposal to the california puc together with the Community Choice association to try to establish a more regularized framework. This proposal was submitted to the california p. U. C. In august and it is pending review. Right now, todays action asks for some amendments when the legislation was submitted to the board for your consideration, cleanpowersf was participating in a solicitation, not just by pg e but another one by separate california edison. There was a possibility that we would be coming before you with more than just this single agreement with pg e. So, we are asking through the amendments that we distributed that you correct, and move forward with the legislation that is before you. The amendments remove the agreements that we did not go forward with. With that, i am happy to take any questions you may have. Thank you. Any comments or questions . What was the p. U. C. s rationale for going from a oneyear requirement two or three year requirement . I think they that theyve got sufficient capacity in the market. One of the challenges in energy is developing these projects that produce these products take time. If the market signals are so near term they wont be able to indicate that there is a need for additional supply. If you tell everybody to procure out multiple years, you are signaling to market that there is a need and there is time for the market to respond. With new projects, if that is necessary. I think that is part of the rationale behind the california p. U. C. Asking entities to make longer term commitments. The market understands what the need is. Is that an advance i mean, the power that would be supplied by pg e i mean, its for us, for the Clean Power Program, right . Yes. So, it would meet the requirements of our Clean Power Program . It contributes towards meeting them. It is one of the pieces that meets that requirement. We had other solicitations, made other commitments earlier. This is the one we are proposing to make with pg e to help close that gap and meet the requirements. There just isnt enough stuff out in the market. We feel like we have been beating the bushes since april on this. We are not alone. The other Community Choice programs, both in Service Territory and the california Edison Service territories have been doing the everybody is out there trying to make the arrangements, get into compliance. The deadline is looming. October 31. We feel this is necessary. Thank you. Makes an argument for local buildout plan quite frankly to eliminate our dependence on pg e. I just want to make sure i am getting this straight. There no other competitors . There is no other providers for this product. Tragedy okay. Pg e is giving us a five day window to sign the contract, and if we dont the p. U. C. Is going to find us 19 million . That is basically the scenario, yes. They do have authority to finance. Okay. Does anybody else see anything wrong with that . The challenge here is that the state of california needs to ensure that there is sufficient capacity available in the event we have an extremely high demand day. You can imagine a scenario where its really hot in california, all of the different load serving entities like cleanpowersf, had she power, marine clean energy, everyone is out there providing the supply for their customers as such a high demand day we want the state wants to have an assurance that there is extra to meet that. That is what the Resource Adequacy products provide. The ability to say we are having an extreme day, do you have that extra margin on hand. This is a function that used to be performed by a fewer number of load serving entities because we did not have Community Choice education. It was kind of a quiet activity that happened. Now that we have so many communities taking back responsibility for providing the supply like we have with cleanpowersf. We have to take on the responsibility that used to be handled by pg e under supervision by the california p. U. C. The state is trying to make sure the lights stay on in those extreme days. Yeah, they are going to use a hammer on us if we do not comp comply. Okay. One more question about the effort to create alternative Resource Adequacy providers for future contracts. Im wondering whether or not that organization or that will they be ready to bid by the end of 2022 . We are actively soliciting longerterm contract arrangements with developers that will build new products. New resources. With those new resources, additional Resource Adequacy products. We are planning ahead to have more options in the future. Yes. Okay. Thank you. Can we hear from the bla please . The board of supervisors is being asked to approve a project between clean power and travertine for 11point it is retroactive because a general manager signed it on septembe september 18 the contract is begin until january 2020. 11. 1 million over the three year term. Our understanding is the cost of this contract is already built into the rate model and will not require an increase in rates to the 15 customers and we recommend approval. Thank you. It is retroactive because it is time sensitive, right . A right to. Also i dont know. To me it looks like the challenge is the california p. U. C. Really likes pg e and wants to ensure that they get extra resources. Anyway. Any comments or questions . Any members of the public want to comment . Sing then. Public comment is close. I motioned board with a positive recommendation. Would you like to accept the amendment presented by i would like to make a motion to accept the amendment so we can take that without objection. Moving this to the full board with a positive recommendation as amended. Thank you for your presentation. Madame clerk may you please call item number four . Item four, 190966. Resolution approving and authorizing the Real Estate Division to sell cityowned Real Property located on west lucille avenue, west of coalinga in fresno county, california to richard storti, jr. For 170,000; affirming the Planning Departments determination under the California Environmental quality act; adopting the Planning Departments findings that the sale is consistent with the general plan, and the eight priority policies of planning code, section 101. 1; and authorizing the director of property to execute documents, make certain modifications and take certain actions in furtherance of the purchase and Sale Agreement and this resolution, as defined herein. Before us today, we have claudia. Good morning. Before you is a resolution to sell cityowned property in fresno county. The property is about 40 acres which was left to the city back in the 1940s from the firm in a state which specified that any revenues from the use or sale of the property be split between the library and the Recreational Parks department. The property has been, since about the 70s under a ground lease and the property and to storage sheds are used for material and equipment storage purposes until january 2019 when the tenant terminated the lease. At that time, discussions were made with sfpuc and others with possible other uses such as solar power. It was determined that such a use was not viable. Accordingly, the Real Estate Division obtained an appraisal. A broker was selected and the property was put on the market for sale. We now have an offer of the Appraisal Amount of 170,000 from mr. Richard storti who lives in kalinga where this property is located. The director of property recommends that this offer be accepted and the property sold. We ask for your positive recommendation. If you have any questions i am here, and the former director of property, mr. John updikes here who negotiated the sale. Thank you very much. There is no bla report on this. Any comments or questions from colleagues . Seeing none. So, the proceeds of the sale will be split 5050 50 50 with rack and park and the library . Correct. Any remaining funds will be split between the two departments. Is there any designation on how these funds will be spent, or is it just that they are free to spend in any manner which they like . s mr. Updike behind me . Something about golden gate pa park. Oh, really, okay. Good morning. John updike. With respect to the bequest, it is very specific relative to Recreational Park must be used at the golden gate park. With respect to the library must be used for certain books which was subsequently amended and courtapproved to also allow other forms of media if the library could have on certain topics. Thats exactly what i wanted to hear. Any members of the public like to comment on item number four . Seeing none. I would like to move this with a positive recommendation to the board. We can take that without objection. Thank you very much. Madame clerk, can you please call item number five . Item five, 191023. Resolution approving a First Amendment to the Grant Agreement between the Adult Probation Department and the regents of the university of california, on behalf of its San Francisco campus, for the operation of the Community Assessment and services center, to increase the Grant Funding by 12,207,010 for a total amount of 18,007,010 and extend the performance period for three years for a total term of november 17, 2017, through october 31, 2022. Thank you very much. Colleagues, today im introducing a resolution seeking your support to increase the citywide contract above the 10,000,002 the assessment and services center. The task was launched by San Francisco probation in 2012 as part of the city and county of San Franciscos comprehensive realignment plan a partnership with lca. Over the course of initial contract, probation realized that the cast wasnt leading beneath the people entering its doors and reworked the rfp to have a much more robust Behavioral Health focus. Ucsf citywide was neglected in 2017 and became the lead Service Provider. With citywides expertise in coronation, the reentry sees people as are the needs of people suffering for a range of Mental Health and substance dependency challenges. Under citywide leadership in care of the daily volume of has increased exponentially. As San Francisco grapples every day to address and untangle the overlap between Behavioral Health needs, they cast with ucsf citywide is a lead Service Provider is a terrific example of how Public Health and Community Resources can address Behavioral Health and criminal needs in dignified and dynamic ways. I hope my colleagues will unanimously support this resolution so we can continue these important services. With that, i would like to call up lauren bell. Thank you. Good morning, committee members. As indicated a resolution to approve the First Amendment to our agreement with ucsf citywide for the operation of the Community Services center. This First Amendment extends the agreement until october 2022 and increases are not to exceed amount up to a may . The original agreement was signed in october 2017 it had an original term of three years and not to exceed amount of 5. 8 million. Excuse me we have five copies of our presentation. What i am presenting here to you is a quick snapshot of the fiveyear budget. You can see about 73 of the budget goes towards salaries and benefits. 27 goes to operating costs. This breakdown 73 27 is consistent year after year. Because the majority of the funds go towards salaries, i wanted to present you with a picture of what is funded, what is discussed of the casc. I will be happy to answer any questions this table may elicit. I will tell you the vacancy rate is very low. So is turnover. The program is very wellstocked at all all times. In terms of operating expenses,. [reading notes] included in this fiveyear budget is a 2. 5 costofliving increase after the first year every year. So, finally, wheres this money coming from . Im sure youre wondering. 100 of the investment comes from a 109 fun and sb 678 Community Correction incentive funds. Both are statefunded that are very excuse me, reliable. They have been very consistent for the past several years. We do not expect any changes and they will continue to fund this program because when the next three years if you do recommend this extension. With that im going to invite the director of services of the Operation Department to tell you what you want to hear about the program. Good morning, supervisors. We are excited to be here for a couple of reasons. First of all, we hear of ucsf citywide a lot as well as the clients that come through. We really appreciate your time. I am going to jam or this powerpoint. I know you have some context for the casc. We do want to touch on some important areas. First of all, the casc is run by ucsf and citywide. It is embedded in the San Francisco Probation Department and specifically within the services. Within our division. Thank you. The Reentry Division has three areas we oversee, what is the direct services, it is our reentry policy through the reentry council. Lastly we have recently reinvigorated our very important focus on womens gender Responsive Services as well. Our division is a civilian division. Which is somewhat unique for a Probation Department in the state of california. We started in 2,011 during realignment and our team has ten members. We are really diverse team. Two of our team members are actually previously incarcerat incarcerated. One of them is our Reentry Services manager that oversees all of our contracts. All of our teams are amazing assets to the work that we do. The team administers about 28 Community Led contracts, it is really important to our departments that our resources get back into the community. We really value the partnerships we have with both. The casc is our flagship program. The vision was launched in 2012 as part of criminal justice realignment. I think if few of you have been over to casc. It is 18,000 square feet, adult probation is on the second floor, Reentry Division and some of the realigned units. Two thirds of the centers are a service center. For the folks that come through. Any person who is 18 years or older, who has justice involvement can come through. Meaning you do not need to be on adult probation to come to our center. Ucsf citywide is the manager of the center. As supervisor if you are indicated the volume of people coming through has increased exponentially since ucsf took leadership. We have about 120 unduplicated people per day. In 1819 we saw 18 19 we saw about 3500 unduplicated people. It is a really busy center. The classes are very well attended. The next slide is a work cloud for you to see what some of the classes are. As i mentioned, our partners are the heart and soul of what we do. In addition to ucsf citywide there are 12 additional city and Community Partners at the casc. I robust ownership of the department of Public Health. The next slide is a word cloud of the partners that we have at the casc and beyond. Just to highlight some of the amazing qualities at ucsf. We have a Long Partnership with them through collaborative courts. In 2013, through realignment, we launched a first contract with them for Behavioral Health Case Management. In 2017, super excited that they took over the management of the casc. Their ability to work with the transit population is incredible. They recruit people who have clinical capabilities. They recruit people from the community. Their ability to engage with people, i think, is very unique and we see this by the amount of people that come through our center every day. It is also the casc, it has become kind of a research Fertile Ground for research. We are going through a process of piloting a program called changing her mind which is actually for folks who have Mental Health challenges to see how well an intervention can work with somebody with Mental Health challenges. Capacity, the clinical Case Management onsite we have about 120 slots, that is eight clinical case managers. Their hands on every day, in the community, in jail, sometimes going to, definitely going to meet people at their houses, or apartments, or meeting them in the community. We have a different level of Case Management which is a little bit lighter Case Management. In a capacity of a hundred and 50. Want to highlight that this last year and through this contract expansion we have launched a medication distribution service. Folks that are on Case Management come to the casc to actually get Prescription Medication that they need. The next is just a graphic to show the overlap of different challenges. The next page is just for you to review, at a different time. It gives a deeper dive into the two different Case Management types that are offered through this contract. Kind of highlighting some of the three top needs of our Clinical Services, or the needs that our address their Clinical Services which is ptsd, thought disorder and Substance Use disorder. In closing, ucsf is an amazing partner to us. They are doing a really hard in San Francisco with people who have extremely complicated needs and they are doing it really well. We are very happy to be partnering with them and hope that you will support the increase of this contract so we can keep doing this work. Thank you very much. Any comments or questions . I just want to say i am a big fan of the casc in the work that it does. One of the things i have been thinking about quite a bit we had our treatment on demand hearing a few weeks back. There seems to be some questions whether we have received treatment on demand or not. I know for folks who are in the Behavior Health court or the drug court, the weight is very long. I was curious for clients at the casc i think it often has to do with how complicated the situation is. The more complicated the situation is the harder it is to find the right program. I didnt give you heads up that i would be asking this question. If you want to get back to me later. I am curious about the availability of appropriate treatment for the folks you are seeing at the casc . A definitely played a couple of answers to that. The first one is in addition to the caseloads that are held, we maintain a wait. There is a clinical and a reentry Case Management waitlist. It is difficult to talk about what the average time on a waitlist is because of what you just indicated the needs of people are really chaotic and unpredictable. By the time some comes up to the top, we might not be able to find them. Let me talk about treatment on demand. Are we able to connect with that person at the moment we are able to work with them . More broadly, when it comes to actual treatment through our work order with the department of Public Health, we find sorry, how many residential treatment beds . 50 residential treatment be beds. We have procured our own designated beds. The department of Public Health staff at the casc, the care coordinators they are actually the pathway into those beds. It is shorter than other folks in the city. Again, as there a bed in the moment that somebody needs it . Can we find that person on the bed is available . We do literally roll up our sleeves and just a fullcourt press when we have a bed available to get that person in there. It is a very proactive process. How many folks are on your waitlist at a particular time . We have about 40 people on the waitlist at any time for clinical Case Management. Right now, there is about 30 people on the waitlist right now. When he gets down to five, we open a back up again for referral. How long has it been since its been open . I cannot remember the last time it was open. Maybe 1. 5 months ago. [inaudible] actually, come on up and speak into the microphone so youre part of. Sorry. Part of the record. Sorry. Say everything you said back there all over again. I just want to let you know that we do have our waitlist is close now we will open it up in a week or two. One thing that happens is we have daily drop in services. No client needs go unmet. We just refer them into our dropin services which is oncall case managers that work with clients immediate needs. And that we have a group of mentors that work with them as well that also help take people to appointments, and a them with that. On a daily basis, although they might not be assigned a case manager, they do have Case Management needs are met in realtime. Ideally he would never have to close your waitlist because it would be moving quickly enough that you can add people. I mean, admittedly, there will be some super challenging person who has not only a sense of severe Substance Abuse issue but significant Mental Health condition, and also a bunch of health needs, and all of these things that make it very, very hard to place a particular person. In general, how long does it take to clear 40 people off of your waitlist . It runs somewhat rapidly due to the evolving nature of clients needs. If somebody decides they need to go into residential treatment we would just move them to the bottom of the waitlist and then pick them up as they are exiting residential treatment. One of the interesting details of our center is that we operate on this model of Community Treatment pair which is an adaptation of Community Treatment. We do not drop clients. In other models, if people were not engaged in services, they were immediately dropped. That doesnt really solve the problem. That is one of the issues with capacity. We can always use expansion of capacity because of the needs in the people in the Justice System right now. People do ebb and flow. As people transition out of the city, or, one of our goals is that we do not close people out. Some of this stuff holds up and bottlenecks capacity. People do move rather rapidly on the waitlist a month or two. When theyre accessing drop in services on groups and classes in the meantime. It just strikes me, i mean, engaging in treatment is hard. It is often unsuccessful at first. People may have to go through, you know, many, many different episodes and efforts. I do think that goal of treatment on demand is a good one. I think as we move closer to next years budget, i am imagining that my colleagues as well as i would be interested in knowing what it would take to get closer to treatment on demand for your trunk chunk of the population. We are really excited because in the last few months we did a survey for recovery services, for people that were directly impacted by drug use or family members. Super proud to say we got about 530 surveys back and we are putting all of the information together. We will be coming back to you, or the board of supervisors, with observations from the survey, with with analysis, and then with some recommendations specifically for substance dependency treatment. Through that we are going to have stuffed their Mental Health challenges. We are really excited because it is directly from people that are impacted by drug use. Thank you. I just want to say that i have been to the casc several times, and have always been so impressed with the services that are provided. Recently i went to ucsf city wide on Mission Street and i was extremely impressed. I spent hours with them learning about the programs they provide, and i think this is an incredible Grant Agreement and im very supportive. Dinky for all of you do. We really appreciate all of you. Can we hear from the bla, please . The board of supervisors is being asked to approve the First Amendment to the existing agreement between adult probation and ucsf for services at the casc. Ucsf was selected through a competitive process. The r. F. P provided for a total fiveyear term. The initial twoyear term was less than ten years and 10 million and it didnt come to the increase is from 5. 8 million up to 12. 2 million in for a total not to exceed amount of 18 million. To summarize the budget here on table two, page 11 and discussed by the department, there will be an increase in a couple of positions of clinical social worker and supervisor positions under the amendment. We recommend approval. Thank you very much. Lets open this up for Public Comment . Any members of the public would like to comment on item number five . Seeing then. I do have a comment seeing none. Had to have a comment heard there is a typo on the title. I wanted to make sure we noted before anything is voted. Only the title states that the term of the agreement starts on november 17, 2017. The correct start date is november 1, 2017. The resolution languages good. I believe that is not substantive. Closed Public Comment. Lets accept that a minute without objection thank you very much.
