SFGTV Government Access Programming December 13, 2017

Actually, just a question. Could you put it back up . Does this program is this program offered to p. U. C. Customers beyond San Francisco . This program is only offered within the jurisdictiontal boundaries of city and county of San Francisco. Any reason why we couldnt offer to all the customers . We could expand the program at the direction of the governing bodies. Yes. We have chosen we have chosen not to. Staying within our city, our city foot print so far. When you say government bodies yourselfs. Ok. [laughter] i didnt know if you meant well, if expansion we would pursue expansion if we were directed to by the board of supervisors to actually consummate an expansion. It would require other governing bodies to authorize that. To agree. For example, a Service Territory that were trying to expand into would need to agree and we would need to receive certification from the California Public Utilities Commission that that expansion is authorized. Are there any reasons why we shouldnt . At this point, were focused on making sure we meet the objective of serving all of San Francisco. Once we have a full program serving all of San Francisco, it might be appropriate for the city to consider expanding to other jurisdictions. I would note that all of the counties contiguous to us are already launching programs of their own. So marin, san mateo, alameda, for example, all have programs. That are either operating or about to operate. Ok. So, theres really no need for us to expand this . At this time, i dont see a need. I see a need to make sure that we expand to meet all of San Franciscos needs in the near term. Ok. If if you ever think that we need to we need to do this legislatively in San Francisco, let us know. Ok. Thank you. Thank you very much. Its interesting how far weve come. I remember as a candidate filling out questionnaires as to whether or not i support c. C. A. And i always was very enthusiastic and have always said yes and how much slack that ive gotten. It reels really good to be here to be discussing this policy as we continue to move forward and provide a Great Service and not only a Great Service, but a clean and efficient way to receive energy. I believe supervisor tang has made a series of motions. Lets take her she made one motion. To accept some amendments. If we could take that motion without objection. Well take without objection. Thank you very much. Ill make a motion to send forth item as amed to the full board with recommendation. As amended, it goes to the full board without objection. All right. Were off. Lets move on. All right. Lets see madame clerk, whats next . Item three. Please call it. Item number three, resolution authorizing the general manager of the Public Utilities commission to execute amendment number two to Agreement Number cs109 to continue providing additional Engineering Service in support of the westside recycled Water Project, increasing the agreement by 2. 5 million for a total not to exceed agreement of 8 million. All right. Thank you. So, we have lets see here. Im sorry. Welcome. The floor is yours. Good morning. Barbara palacio, project manager for the recycled Water Project. Thank you, Committee Chair and supervisors for allowing us to make todays pregnancy about proposed amendment number two to contract cs109, specialized Engineering Services, recycled Water Projects. The westside recycled Water Project will produce an annual average 1. 6 million gallons per day of highquality recycled water to be used for irrigation and another nonpotable uses. Recycled water will be used to irrigate and fill the lakes in Golden Gate Park as well as irrigation of Lincoln Park Golf Course and including the golf course and nation fall cemetery. The project includes the construction of any Treatment Facility within the oceanside treatment plant. Approximately 7. 7 miles of new pipeline, mostly within city streets. A New Reservoir and pump station in Golden Gate Park and irrigation system modifications within Golden Gate Park and lincoln park. They initiated contract cs109 for design and construction of the eastside recycled Water Project as well as to provide asneeded support to other recycled water efforts and project by the sfpuc such as the sharp park and harding park recycled Water Projects. The project was the contract was awarded in october of 2010 to a joint venture of kennedyjenks consultants, Water Resources engineering. For a total amount of 3. 7 million and a duration of six years. In december of 15, the sfpuc approved amendment number one, which increased the agreement amount by 1. 8 million and included a time extension of three years. This would provide engineering support during bidding and construction phase, provide Technical Support in assess. Assessment of the Irrigation Systems as well as provide regulatory per mying process support. Today we seek your approval of the proposed resolution to approve the Second Amendment to the existing contract. This this amendment was approved by the sfpuc in november of 2017 and would increase the agreement by 2. 5 million and include a time extension of three years. This amendment would address the Detailed Design and engineering support during bidding and construction phases of the irrigation system modsfication work as well as preparing the resingh ld waterments operations plan, Standard Operating Procedures for the new Treatment Facility and pump station. And that is all i have. Well, thank you for that presentation. Lets hear from the budget legislative analyst office. If this is an extension of an existing agreement for Engineering Services for the westside recycled Water Project, its subject to board of supervisors approval because it extends the agreement for up to 12 years through 2022. We do show the expenditures that are expected under the amended agreement and recommend approval. Thank you very much. Lets hear what the public has to say. Well go into Public Comment at this time. Any member of the public, come on up. Step on up. Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Thank you. Supervisor yee . Yeah. Im more than happy to support this. Since this new facility would be in my district. And im happy to serve the rest of the city. Thank you. New system. [laughter] all right. Thank you. Just to recap, the project will construct the following, a recycled water Treatment Facility at the oceanside Water Pollution control plant, a new pump station and underground recycled water storage reservoir at Golden Gate Parks existing Central Reservoir and also a new recycle distribution pipeline. So is there a motion to accept this and we can send to the full board . We will make a motion to accept this. And move it to full board for positive recommendation. Thank you. We can take that without objection. There it is. Please call items four and five together. Item number four, ordinance reappropriating 4. 1 billion of the improvement costs at 179th street for the renovation of the building at 440 turk street for department of homelessness and Supportive Housing. Item number five, hearing to consider the reserve fund to the department of homelessness and Supportive Housing in the amount of 1. 7 million for the 440 turk street project. Ok. Thank you. So, colleagues, yesterday you may recall we had a robust conversation at the full board about the Emergency Declaration regarding 440 turk. Particularly conversations about the process. Ultimately the board has decided to continue this item until january. So, seeing that these two items are directly related to 440 turk, i want to propose that we should also continue item five and send item four forward, particularly without a recommendation. And ill take up a motion for this. By just wanted to open up and indicate exactly where my thoughts are on this. We have a presentation from the domestic of homelessness and Supportive Housing, welcome back. I think you are the director of finance. That is correct. Please introduce yourself and the floor is yours. Good morning, madame chair, members of the committee. Im g. G. Whitley, Deputy Director for admin and finance. I have a presentation prepared. I can do that or just answer questions. No. No. Well take your presentation. So good morning again. As you recall, we were here over a year ago with the purchase of 440 turk street, a property owned by the San Francisco housing authority. It is 25500 square feet and the board and the federal government have, prior to today, approved the Purchase Price for 5 million. A little bit about the existing conditions of the building. This is based on analysis done by the department of public works. Its currently a parcel that has three condos as part of it, including a residential area for affordable housing. We share the centralized Building Systems with 430 turk street, including all of the gas, fire alarmsprinkler systems as part of purchasing the building. There has been a recent update to the boiler system and the related pumps and currently there is no central air conditioning and the elevator in the building needs some work. As you can see from the picture, its a unique building with a unique layout and the openness and the flexibility of the floor plan are limited by structural walls and some columns in the building. That as well as the elevator repair has been a driving cost and some of the tenant improvement costs. This is just an artist rendering done by the department of public works as to what the proposed use may look like in terms of work stations and office space on the top floor, Conference Room space as well as access point on the first floor for clients. As you heard yesterday, this is really the access point. Not only to our department, but to our coordinated access point centrally located in the city that would provide other amenities potentially. As i was saying, the top floor would be h. S. H. Headquarters, the top floor would be staff office space for the majority of our employees. Open during business hours. The bottom floor, the first floor, would be the coordinated entry access point as well as meeting space for client appointments, intakes. The access point itself can accommodate up to 30 to 50 clients and although the details are still to be worked out, weve been proposing 12 hour a day site, seven days per week. The site would include some limited showers, washer dryers, storage facilities. For clients going through coordinated entry intake and that is really what weve envisioned in matching clients to the appropriate intervention that they need immediately to help resolve their homelessness. Some of the building upgrades that are part of the construction budget include changes to the interior partitions, to create a more open layout, especially on the top floor where we can put work stations, a new ceiling system with carpet, painting and finishes. Plumbing upgrades, especially in the ground floor where the bathrooms need to be created and showers put in. New lighting and controls that are required by building code. A. D. A. Upgrades to the restrooms as well as the elevator and to upgrade the hvac system within the building. What you see before you here are the total estimated project costs. The project is estimated to be 12. 86 million. 5 million of that is the negotiated Purchase Price the purchase will close either later this month or in early january. 6. 1 million for the rehabilitation antenanl improvement costs that i just mentioned and 1. 7 million allocated for furniture, fixtures, equipment. That is the staff space for work stations. The i. T. Wiring. All of the client access spaces and furniture and appliance, etc. There are two main sources for the project. The general obligation band First Issuance funding has already been appropriated. Thats 4. 85 million. 2. 2 million in future geobond proceeds when the second issuance goes forward for that bond. You may recall from the 2016 item on the ballot that part of the Public Health and safety bond part of the Public Health geo bond had 20 million for homeless shelter repairs as well as new client serving spaces. And finally 5. 8 million in general fund money, including funds for ff e. Based on analysis done with public works, 63 of the rehab and purchase cost are allocated to the proportion of the building thats really going to serve clients or support Homeless Services access point. The ordinance that you are reviewing today really allows the department to move general fund money within its already approved 1718 budget. There is no additional general fund impact because of this motion, but you may recall from both the budget process in june and then the subsequent lease that was before you for office space for our department, we had already appropriated through the budget process over 4 million for leasing antenanl improvement costs of another site on 9th street. What this ordinance allows the department to do is shift that funding. Much of that general fund is already appropriated for the dps office space for another site and reappropriated to the 440 turk street project. So that that project can move forward for the dual uses that i mentioned earlier. The second item is Committee Action to release the reserves that were put on reserve during the budget process for furniture and fixture and equipment. That was 1. 7 million. As i said, that includes i. T. Costs, work stations, computers, new telephones, all of the furniture and equipment that will be needed for clients to access the access point. And those costs were based on actual costs, either from clients serving furniture that we used in other Navigation Centers or costs we spent to replace washer dryers at our shelter within our shelter or other recent City Projects like the medical examiners office. That concludes my presentation. If there are any additional questions, im happy to take those now. Thank you for your presentation and bringing clarity and elevating the urgency of the nature and the mission of the organization of your department. I appreciate it. A sobering reminder. Colleagues, do we have any questions . I dont have any questions at this point. But just in light of the discussion that happened at the board of supervisors yesterday, i mean i really enjoyed the presentation. I think it is a matter of talking to all the colleagues here and making sure that everyone is on the same page about the plans. So, pending Public Comment i do agree with supervisor cohen that i would like to send this out to the full board without recommendation first and then let this item catch up with the others that are still pending that well discuss in the new year. Thank you, supervisors. Thank you for your thoughtful consideration of the items. And were happy to support as we need. I appreciate that. Were going to pivot to the b. L. A. And hear their report. There are two pieces of legislation before you. One is a ordinance appropriating 4. 1 million in general fund moneys to this project. Another is a release of reserves so 1. 7 million for furniture, fixtures and equipment for the project. The details of the expendituress are on page 22 and page 23 of our report. I believe ms. Whitley has gone over the expenditure details. We are recommending a reduction in the release of reserves by a little more than 390,000. This reduction is based on our estimated costs for purchasing computers and telephones for 118 staff to be relocated to 440 turk street and actual recent costs for Technology Equipment and other furnishing bids and such for furniture for the project. So the reduction would be from the current amount of 1. 7 million that is on reserve to 1309775. We do recommend approval of the reappropriatation and, as i said, were recommending a reduction in the reserves. Thank you very much. We can respect and take those amendments or are youer recommendations. Thank you very much. Colleagues, do you have any last remarks . So, the funding for the items that would be spend on would be if the 440 turk proposed project is accepted. I imagine that the funding you wouldnt need this funding until things were renovated first. That is correct, supervisor. Through the chair, given the discussion yesterday about the Emergency Declaration, and pending discussions on mow quickly the project could move forward, we would be
