If there are no questions for staff, id like to bring up miss karen flood, their executive director, to comment on programatic achievements. Okay. Good morning, supervisors mar, peskin, and brown. Ill walkthrough my presentation now. Okay. Our mission is to create a high quality Visitor Experience and also to serve our members and to activate public space, to keep the area clean, safe, and vibrant for everyone. We want to ensure that union square is the heart of our city and an International Destination and is really inviting for everyone. Helen mentioned or boundaries. Essentially its bush down to market, kearney, over to mason taylor. Its really what you think of when you think of union square, and park to the heart. Our services, probably cleaning and safety. Probably 65 of our budget is devoted to that. Thats what the Property Owners wanted. We also do destination marketing, public advocacy. Our assessment methodology up to now has been essentially linear frontage. Its about 82. 81 per linear foot. Thats because were provide services right on the street, but we also include building square footage, and theres five categories starting at 88 per parcel all the way up to 5567 for properties. Major accomplishments, in 201718, our public realm improvements have been a big part of our mission. Winter walk has really been sort of a highlight for us to mitigate the impacts of the central subway construction and we were happy to produce that again. We are looking for a new location this year, and we continue to activate some of the back alleys in our district to create an inviting place to come and people to stay longer. We also continue to engage in compassionate homeless outreach. We initially hired a social worker, but in 1718, we partnered with the street team to give Homeless Individuals an opportunity to work and contribute to the community, and for that, if youre familiar with the program, they get connected with a case worker and get fast tracked to jobs. This has really been a positive program for us allaround in union square, and im delighted that the city has responded well to this in other parts of the city. Here is our countrteam, and inl year 1718, 21 members were involved and 21 members were housed, so were proud of this. And the numbers are just amazing, the amount of trash that we pick up. We basically fill two giant du dumpsters by 10 00 a. M. Every morning. In numbers and pounds, its about 603,325 pounds a year. Thats a lot of garbage. So thats important that were there, doing that. Graffiti tags, we removed 19,458. This includes everything from stickers to larger tags, and i believe this actually runs citywide, so i believe we are proud that we are keeping our area clean. We also picked up 5700 needles. Wed rather be doing other things, but there are needles on our sidewalks, and our folks are train toded to do that, an wed like to see that number go down, but yes, we pick up needled. We have Community Investors that engage with the community on streets. We point people to services, what they might need. We know the folks on the street, they know us. Most of the time, they respect us, and they understand that there are rules and ordinances in our city that we need to follow so that union square is welcoming to everyone, but we want to make sure that people know that there are Services Available to everyone, and they get those services. Activation. We launched a lunch on the lane program. We, you know, love our dear maiden lane, and we lost some of our caves, and so we tried to increase the traffic down in that area, so we brought some food trucks in the fiscal year. People generally love it. We are partnering with supervisor peskins office, continuing throughout this year and throughout the summer. Renewal. For about the past 18 months, weve engaged in the renewal process. Supervisor peskin has been instrumental in helping us and engage is us in this process. We are proud to say we got 50 support on petition. This is huge. Usually, its only 30 , but we engaged with the Property Owners what services they wanted, what they were willing to pay for, and 50 have said yet, we are ready to renew at a 65 increase, so this is a big ask for them. Were looking to get a big turnout on the ballot. Well be before you on july 9, and theres the buzzer. So thank you. Im happy to answer any questions you may have. Supervisor mar thank you so much for the presentation, miss flood and miss mar and for all the great work on the square Business Improvement district. Before we go, do you have any questions . Supervisor peskin i think miss flood stated everything very well. We continue to be delighted to the bid, and prior to Public Comment, i would like to make a motion to send this to the above with a positive recommendation. Supervisor mar actually, why dont we go to Public Comment. Are there any public members who wish to testify on this item . Please step up. You have two minutes. Please state your first and last name clearly. I believe Everybody Knows who i am. I want to commend you for helping the Homeless People and youre picking up needles and everything, and this following presentation pertains to you and all the following trades. We have a homeless problem in San Francisco. We have approximately 8,100 homeless in San Francisco. Youre spending 400 million on services to this set of people. Theres demonstrated experience where a Nurse Practitioner testifies that numerous studies after study after Study Programs provide that longterm stable housing with additional mental and medical support Services Improve outcomes for mentally ill homeless patients. Im bringing that up to you on the grounds that my demonstration pertaining to building 144unit Apartment Building complex for 56 million is the best deal yet to get Homeless People off the street and out of the area where theyre working and providing service to Homeless People. And theres another building thats close to that deal thats an 86unit Apartment Building complex, and its a threestory unit, too, for 67 million. For 5 million, you can built a 27 story apartment complex and house about 22,770 Homeless People in each and every one of your supervisors district instead of navigation programs. You can house people for not only drug rehabs, but people who need rehabilitation and physical disabilities, as well. By the same response, you could also place [inaudible] clerk thank you. Next speaker. Supervisor mar thank you, mr. Wright. Are there any other members of the public who wish to speak on this item. Oh, and i wanted to point out clerk well have Public Comment on those agenda items later on. Supervisor mar yeah, thank you. Seeing none, Public Comment is now closed. Colleagues, can we recommend this to the full board without objection . Supervisor peskin so moved. Supervisor mar great. Mr. Clerk, please call item number two. [agenda item read]. Supervisor mar thank you. Id like to welcome greg paper b bag wagner, the chief Financial Officer the Public Health. Mr. Wagner, you will have six minutes to present together. The floor is yours. Thank you, members of the committee. Greg wagner, department of Public Health. As we are building our Public Health record system, this will be a change how we do our billing at the hospital, and under an affiliation at ucsf, we provide them Billing Services under the epic system. This memorandum spells out the governances and the risk provisions over that relationship. The reason that its before you is it is complementary to the affiliation agreement, so we have matched this m. O. U. With the affiliation agreement. It is longer than ten years, and so it requires board approval. It is retroactive, and we are familiar with the boards sensitivity to retroactive. However, but making it retroactive to january 1, that period during the System Development going back to january and leading up to the go live. Theres no cost to the m. O. U. , theres no cost to the retroactivity, but it does allow the city to enjoy the Risk Management provisions retroactively, so we are respectively recommending that the board approve this item and the retroactivity to january. Supervisor mar thank you, mr. Wagner. Colleagues, do you have any questions . Actually, i did have a question how this arrangement with ucsf relates to the overall balance billing issue that weve been dealing with. Yes. Thank you for the question. So there are two aspects of the billing. Theres the hospital billing and the professional fee billing. The hospital billing is done by us. The professional fee billing is done by ucsf. On the balance billing issue, as you know, about 1. 5 months ago, we introduced new apologies that would restrict the balance billing. Those will remain in effect, and the provisions in this m. O. U. Will not impact anything in that in those new policies, so we will no longer apply balance billing. Ucsf will also not balance bill under this agreement, so all of those provisions in the new policies and the protections will remain in effect. Supervisor mar great. Sounds good. Thank you. Are there any members of the public who wish to testify on this item . Seeing oh. Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Okay. Mr. Clerk, can you call item number 3. Clerk we havent yet taken an action on this item. Supervisor mar oh, so can we refer this to the full board with recommendation . Supervisor peskin so moved. Supervisor mar thank you. Mr. Clerk, please call item number 3. [agenda item read]. Supervisor mar thank you. Id like to recognize supervisor yee, whos joined us for this item. Note that i will be setting time limits for departmental presentations and communicating these limitations as presenters come up to speak. Supervisor yee, the floor is yours. President yee good morning, chair. Thank you, colleagues. Following two years of Meticulous Research and deliberations with Public Safety departments, im proud to finally have this legislation heard in committee. Vehicle telematics, a. K. A. Black boxes or gps tracking allows vehicle to report history, speed, diagnosis, including automatic smog check and safety. Telematics is not a novel concept. Many commercial fleets in nearly every commercial industry has gps and Similar Technology in their vehicles. In 2015, i noticed as a board, we were approving a large amount of payouts to lawsuits. Between 2010 and 2014, the city paid 77 million in litigation and lawsuits directly related to our fleet. This is unacceptable. Driving a city vehicle is a privilege, not a right. In may of 2016, i passed legislation to install Telematics Technology in the majority of our city departments vehicle with the exception of Public Safety departments. Today, more than 4,000 of our citys fleet has this technology, and we have already seen significant increases in safety and cost savings. With the implementation and results with this telematics growing contributions towards vision see reis used to improve driving habits, improving dispatch, cost savings, as well as helping us achieve the goals from the citys Climate Action plan and s. B. 32, californias Global Climate expansion act. So this will expand the technology to the citys Public Safety departments. New york city has had Similar Technology for more than 15 years. Yolo county sheriffs deputy as well as Hollywood Division of the lapd has this technology, and it is used with dispatch, better managing their fleet to be more effective and increasing Public Safety. Vision zero is about city officials, City Employees, and Community Members working together and committing to create a safer streets. Telematics is a viable and effective means toward our goal of eliminating pedestrian fatalities. New York Police Department has reported a record low in pedestrian fatalities and yolo county sheriffs reported a significant decrease in collisions. Lapds Hollywood Division which recently launched its pilot, interestingly has seen a dramatic increase in seat belt use. The safety and security of our Public Safety departments is my top priority, n. Not immediately scheduling in committee was purposeful to ensure that concerns in the Public Safety departments were given sufficient time to be discussed and addressed. Outcomes from months and months of negotiations and meet and confers have resulted in both fire and Police Departments in agreements that the safety and security of their officers will be maintained, and that they expect measurable benefits from the use of this technology. One way this will be impleme s implemented as compared to the Current System will be shared with the department. Operationalizing the technology in this way allows the Public Safety departments to protect their data and maintain the benefits of the gps and for the city to maintain the benefits of receiving remote vehicle alerts, utilization and automatic smog checks. What id like to do is call up each presenter and allow questions after each presenter. Id like to call up right now hes ahead of me is adam nguyen. Hes the city planner for the City Administrators Office to tell us about some successes of telematics in it the current fleet. In the current fleet. Thank you. Supervisor mar thank you. You have ten minutes for your presentation. President yee i told him it would probably be less than ten minutes. Thank you. Good morning, supervisors. This first slide shows in an illustration how telematics generally works. You have vehicles that have transponders in them. Theyre little black boxes. That provides gps and other information thats sent through cell phone networks, and that is collected through a Software System and then allows reporting to fleet managers. The devices are three different types. You have the general telematics device that plugs into the systems computer in a vehicle. Theres another one if its an older vehicle before 1995 or Something Like a motorcycle, then those just have tracking devices on them, so the only information is location. And the third thing is if theres no cell network, so for instance if youre in a remote area of the state, like hetch hetchy, you can still do tracking for information through satellite. In terms of vehicle counts, we currently have about 4,000 vehicles in the city that have telematics installed. 1851 vehicles are related to Law Enforcement<
