The hospital diversion rates contributing to this. Of course is also the high number of patients needing low levels of care who are not able to be diskharpbld discharged from the hospital, how the flow from the system would assist in decompressing this and how at least a short Term Solution as we move into the new building the number of slots that are available within the emergency room will be increased considerably over what we have now so that diversion hopefully would then go down. We also then discussed the Patient Care Services and the hr report showing that were on schedule to be able to staff the hospital. During the medical staff report we did approve the radiology Clinical Services rules, regulations, cidp, policy, controlled substances utilization review and evaluation systems mandate and in closed session approved the credentials report.

Thank you very much supervisors. The next item the Library Commission unanimously approved a resolution asking we request to appropriate 7. 5 million from fy 16 general reserve that go thooz payment of our debts associated with the issuance of lease Revenue Bonds. Some of those we use to partially support the completion of Library Improvement program. The supplemental appropriation will reduce the debt at 28 million from the original bond amount of 34 million. We work closely with Controllers Office of Public Finance and indicated the library can refinance our current debt by reducing the prisple and estimate Interest Rates to 2. 6 to 3. 7 percent to the original sale which was 5. 6 percent. It is all good fiscal management to reduce that debt and the long term savings approximate from 14 to 16. 7 million. The bond term is for 25 years and end in 2034 but this will reduce the timeframe so ask for your support approving that appropriation and refunding. We also have jamie curuben from the Controllers Office of Public Financing to answer any questions. Why don we go to the report from mr. Rose. We totally agree this is the best interest of it city to refund the future refunding of these lease Revenue Bonds. On page 40 in table 1 the department on the Controllers Office of Public Finance anticipate savings as the director mentioned. [inaudible] we recommend that you approve this ordinance. Okay. Thank you mr. Rose. Colleagues, any questions. We move to Public Comment for item 22 only. Anyone wish to comment on item 22 . Good afternoon. Peter war field. This was presenteds a prepayment of debt service to save money and there was no mention about brooks hall moving or mention of another facility as i recall. One the issues with the library is distrunkz of the entire west wing of the 5th floor where the bound magazines about half the collection was housed and the removal to brooks hall so there can be a lurbing and Literacy Center placed there which we said could be placed in any store front or Office Building and not as a core function of the library housing the libraries collections so im completely taken aback that now those materials are going to be moved even further away then brooks hall which is basically the underground area in the civic center. I think the lack of public process here is very problematic. It is something that will have something to say about on the overall budget issue, but the idea that collections will be moving further and further away when the literacy and Learning Center functions be in any location in the area of the library or not is very very problematic. It is real dismantling of the library as a library. Thank you. Thank you very much. Anybody else wish to comment on item 22 . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Motion on item 22 please only .

That is all we have for our item 10 and 11 budgets so we will open up 10 and 11 to Public Comment now. Anybody that wishes to comment on 10 or 11 in our departmental budgets . Parter warfield exectesk director of libraries users. I sent the supervisors last night and delivered a letter concerning the libraries testimony at the last budget and finance Committee Meeting last wednesday. The library has proposed changes only in the pucklic forum you provided, there was nothing at the Libraries Commission or no discussion what so ever as part the budget or any other fashion and that is something that we are very sensitive to. We ask you to ask questions at the very least and perhaps reserve that amount until a proper process can be done at the library can with regard to hours. In general i have to say we are always in favor of more hours, more access student the public, but hours are not potatoes, there are hours the citizens said they wanted consistently to the library through all the surveys and testimony and that is evening and weekends. The library made no clarity to your committee orally or in the presentation materials as to whichwhat the hours will be that are changed nor what existing hours are and there was no process what so ever. I would say also proposition d which made the library rich requires a specific process and have a copy of proposition d which i can give to you and that has not been fallowed either. That is because the library has consistently chinched library hours. The last time they ignoreed what the public said and tried to cut every evening from 9 to 8 oclock and saturday mornings. We fought that and they had to retreat. This should not be imposed unless there is a proper process. Thank you. Any other members of the public who wish to comment on items 10 or 11 . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Colleagues we have departmental budgets for 10 and 11.

Item 23, hearing to receive update on San Francisco Youth Commission policy and Budget Priorities for fiscal year 20162017 and 20172018. Thank you madam clerk. We have the Youth Commission here to share their priorities. Welcome and thank you for spending the time and putting together your packet. Want to welcome you up to make your presentation. Good afternoon Budget Committee u , thank you for having us. Ill jillion lieu. Our charter duty to present to the budget and finance committee the Budget Priorities this year. There are things we have been working on this year and things we hope for the Youth Commission working on next year and into the future. Ill present the first Budget Priority which is investing in education and engagement of young voters. We would like to thank you again for sharing the chamber with us in the first youth xhirgz board of supervisors joint meeting and voting this into the november 2016 ballot. So, as you all know i wont go into history explanation of what vote 16 and this priority is, but briefly go over updates such as 16 and 17 preregistration opportunities [inaudible] work as poll workers in the june and november election and School District and board of education promises to step up the [inaudible] crimulum and stuntd registration efforts in public high schools. Our recommendation is we hope that vote 16 passes this november even if it does not we hope the board and mayor lee encourage voter par tisitation especially in 16, 17 and young voters which are historically low voter turn out. Partner with the School District registering students to vote and exploring opportunities and supporting already existing efforts to allow 16, 17 year olds to vote or encourage them to vote such as Youth Empowerment [inaudible] created in the Youth Commission and you may have seen this speak in the cojoint meeting. They have done a lot of work to get the initiative where it was. Theyprinted two different leaders to Community Members and work behind the scenes and like to thank them as well. Moving to commissioner lee recollect on the next priority. Thank you for having us today. Im commissioner lee, district 4 commissioner and our second priority is engage youth and Community Benefit agreements and Community Benefit districts so the Youth Commission has championed youth choice while investigating the [inaudible] better support youth, we hosted a town hall and returned with a wide range of asks, there were about 20. We thought there was no better way to encompass young peoples perspective than having a youth representative sit on the citizen advisory committee. So, our next priority results from one of the most popular requests of the town hall that i mentioned earlier and that is more Work Force Development opportunities especially from technology communities. Some of the companies have already done work in the area however, Work Force Development is a priority. In the 201415 fiscal year [inaudible] had 30 percent more participants that expected so we met with office of economic and Work Force Development to see how well we can work with private Sector Companies to create more Work Force Development opportunities and they told us a lault of these companies are willing to work with us so we want it take advantage of the Many Technology comps companies in San Francisco. Ill pass it over to the next commissioner. Good afternoon budget and finance committee, thank you for having us, my name is [inaudible] from district 10. I will present priority 4. We ask the board of pr visors invest alternatives to building a new jail. Last year the full Youth Commission we supported to not have [inaudible] a lot of youth came out to the hearing we had from Youth Experiences who experienced parents of incarceration and how that directly impacted their lives. We came to the conclusion to oppose the detention center. So, for there is adult young court which is established in the process of last year 2015 where from the ages of 18 to 25 year olds are accepted into the program. This excludes homicides, gang and gun violences offenses also. This is a way to invest in the youth and give them another chance which is a great way and alternative also. We want the city Capital Investment to reflect the values of young san franciscan responsible for paying for jails and jails would cost a lot of money. Recommendations we ask the board of supervisors invest to alternative [inaudible] considering there are a lot of youth in the jail population. And also we provide need services for non detention settings and include minuteal health, job placement, educational resources. And as for the priority 5, we ask the board of pr visors also include services for [inaudible] incarceration is the most Adverse Childhood Experiences and there are [inaudible] so, we have 3 areas so one is time of arrest. There is a department general order 7. 04 which is the Police Commission [inaudible] which is just Police Officer making sure there is [inaudible] when is a parent is being arrested if the child is present. Also visitation policies so communication barriers are a challenge with children with incarcerated parents have so we ask that support is also [inaudible] visitation. [inaudible] county jails. We had met with sheriff hensy committed to supporting this. Finally, School District support. Sfusd has committed to support children with incarcerated parent and implementing a [inaudible] for our recommendations, we just ask that there is expanding and training of department general ordjure ask it is actually implemented and really follow through and continue to advertise and evaluate [inaudible] support communication between the parent and child and the School District [inaudible] focus School Districts and yeah, just helping them out. And ill move to priority 6. Good evening supervisors. My name is jeo vona sotey and district 9 Youth Commissioner. Increase service and support for Homeless Youth and declare 2017 the year of recognizing Homeless Youth. So, nationally there are about over 300,000 Homeless Youth. We have recommendations to solve this problem. The first is declare 2017 the year of Homeless Youth to know Homeless Youth are not bad and erase the stigma they are run aways. We want to dedicate staff to help Homeless Youth at the new department of homelessness. We also want to revisit the Youth Homeless count because if you see the numbers from the different reports there is a lot of variances which the numberswe get a better system for that. Our next priority is to fund and complete the transitional age youth housing plan and [inaudible] there are approximately 8,000 youth in San Francisco and to combat this issue in 2005 mayor newsome created a National Transitional Age Youth Task force to help the city support the youth and create a housing plan. It is supposed to be completed in 2015 with 400 units but there was a lot of neighborhood opposition and the recession happened so there want time and money to make the units. And there are 730 unit that need to be identified and our recommendation is we complete the goal of 2015 housing plan and that we make a new one to make sure there is enough housing for everyone with the current numbers. We want to plan budget for the on site supportive needs of tay and Supportive Housing and address tay housing. We want promote learn wink the tay population so they know their rights and can have things like Credit History and yeah, all that stuff. Thank you. Thank you very much. So good afternoon supervisors. [inaudible] current chair thof Youth Commission and one of 6 appointees. For priority 8 we ask the may rs aufs and San Francisco boardf supervisors look into had expanded youth fund and allocation for tay services. The childrens funtd was expanded with 73 voter approval. The Childrens Fund received additional funding and as a result after school and Youth Programs have been implemented but as a consequences we have not seen the same amount of allocations for tay services, so as our policy recommendation and as our recommendation to all of you is that you look into the different possibility to expened the Childrens Fund to reflect the amount of tay services needed within the city and we see a proportional amount of tay funding allocate d to the same amount of age groups funded under the Childrens Fund and other allocations. Thank you. Moving to priority 9. We also ask the board to insure there is respective relationship with sfpd and youth in general. The Youth Commission has met with the Police Commission and as paresult of that there is also the mou which willthe relationship between ross and the School District. The only recommendation we have, there is ongoing relationship with sfpd and youth and ask there ask deescalation and training strategies youth can interact because you have been protested when alex neito and mario woods shooting this year and present at the youth forums hosed by [inaudible] and also the Police Commission. So, for priority number 10, we ask the mayor and board of supervisors to look fl to methods for implementing successful [inaudible] as you know, 12 n is a administrative code policy since 1999, but for reasons for better or worse, we have seen it is a severely under funded mandate. In 2014 the Youth Commission and supervisor avalos held many works groups to see what the issues were particularly with 12 n and from the conversations held it was noted that what really need today be implemented is funding. Money city departments that primarily serve use such as dpys and jpd would like a tracking system that identifies lgbt youth and see the Different Services but the implementation isnt what we expected or ask in the years past so like to see this policy revisit and see for ways city family can come together and have successful implementation. So our 11th priority is continue support for free muni for youth. As you know the Youth Commission is working for a long time to make sure free muni is accessible for all youth and we have seen really good improvements in the ridership of youth with less fair evasion and using clipper cards so we want to make sure this stays on the budget. Yeah, so we are grateful for support of the board of supervisors and mayor and google and want to ask you guys to continue supporting it and to commit to keeping the funding. Thank you. For our 12th and final budget and policy priority, we ask the mayor and San Francisco board of supervisors continue to support city college of San Francisco so it is open and accessible and democratly run. As many knhoe, city college has been under attack for accreditation and caused a mount of concern as this caters to a lot of under represented communities. Most recently after an injunction filed by the City Attorney, dennis her reaa the institution was granted a two year period to come fl to compliance after a debate between [inaudible] decision and Many Community advocates that advocateed for the college not to be closed. The college is under a 2 year period to come into compliance and ask that the board to continue for ways to continuely support the city college of San Francisco. As a result of the accreditation crisis many student have dropped out of the college. The enrollment dwidled. Many people were not happy to see the democratly elected board of trustees chs revoked but recently put into place and ask to continue to keep an eye on city college for potential future debates which it is accredited and open access institution. Thank you. I like to thank you again for having us and i hope that we continue to work on these priorities with you further and if you have questions or comments about any priorities. Thank you very much. Colleagues. Supervisor tang. I just want to thank you for all the time you put into this incredibly detailed document. I look forward to reading the supporting Details Behind your Budget Priorities and it is helpful for all of us to hear exactly what your priorities are for the upcoming fiscal year so want to thank you for that. This is really great. I aults want to acknowledge the Youth Commission. This is one of the most impressive presentations i have seen and really comprehensive and touches on the important ish oo as we are facing in the city and talk about at the boferd supervisors. I also you know, something that i would love to see in terms of priority 9 working with Police Officers, i would love to figure a way to get nor San Francisco student into sfpd. It is good job but we know residents that grew up here can serve the communities better because this is their city and they are familiar with our diversity. Now that we have ethnic studies and lgbqq studies in the high schools are getting the education they need beyond the communities they live in so love to the work with the Youth Commission to figure how to recruit more San Francisco youth residents especially young people because that is important getting more of our residents in that department. Finally, i love to come speak over the summer about the city College Proposal to make City College Free for all resident and love to have the Youth Commission support on that through the luxury housing real estate transfer tax. We can be the first city in the country to make City College Free for all residents and it is a Important Institution as many of you know and would love to be able to get your feedback and thoughts on our proposal and how we can make it work administratively so many student from your persfecktive perspective and what you are hearing. Let me echo the comments. Thank you for your hard work on a monthly basis. Thank you for your presentation. To lily, in the back you cant hide. Thank you for being here for all yourheard work.

I will reopen Public Comment. My name is Jessica Williams and a youth advisory member for larkin street and work for transational age yulth for San Francisco. I attend San Francisco State University and the only reason im able to attend this university is because i live in tay housing and one of the main reasons i live in tay housing is because i cant affords to live in San Francisco. With gentrification and all the things going on in San Francisco a lot of transitional age youth whether we are student or do vocational jobs, whether we are working diverse jobs we need spaces to live and are here and want to give voiz and rise the voices of lgbtq youth in San Francisco especially transitional age youth. I want you to consider everything the Youth Commission has done and appreciate the work and also want to emphasis if you can look over more in depth the Affordable Housing for transitional age youth because without it people like myself would be on the streets and just because i cant afford to live in San Francisco or live in San Francisco and attend San Francisco state doesnt mean people like me dont deserve to be here but there isnt space to be here now and you have a opportunity to create the space.

I wanted to ask you come highly recommended you mentioned camp agnus my understanding is agnus create a overall master plan for homelessness with strongest exit strategy and unfortunate camp agnus was alongside a comprehensive plan with the coalition of homelessness from others hoped to develop in some ways a credit for the Navigation Center and the other dpits for homelessness come from that master plan that mayor agnus took the leadership and claim the credit everyone pitting their Heads Together to come up with a longterm plan i was wondering what about comprehensive process from i think i moved here about 5 or 6 years before that i doesnt experience the agnus administration. Looking at the needs of funding and short term and he longterm plan. When they were developing that plan i worked in the department of Public Health i got pulled out of the department of health to be what i call the contractor for developing the actual exit bob and mayor agnus designed it and mary cia and a lot of folks were at the table but i was the person that mayor agnus pulled out department of health to do that the reason he pulled me out was that during the 1989 loma prieta earthquake we responded by the drug and management facilities on Moscone Center and presidio we were or more for putting many men on the ship that president bush ordered he saw the work and pulled me out of the Healthy Health department to open up what we call north and south thank you thank you supervisor cowen.

Labor department we have a Flexible Work schedule a generoustime. Thank you supervisor mar. To review thousands of pages of documents and legal documents focus a little bit on how thai relevant to the assessment board of appeals with our 9 years ever experience and ill talk about that case is an example of the kind of work as an attorney could be relevant often receive cases that was the large Cable Company we had had thousands of documents not only you know deciding as a government attorney you have to decide it is appropriate to bring a case not only what you should or could but interview individuals and make denominators so the fact that the facts politically them to regulations and probably i imagine with those matters the records can be dense and pulling through that to identify the relevant issues is something i do on a daily basis.
