Our office does certify the funding though. Thats where we do work with the department of Public Health. Good, and certifying the funding means . We review the d. P. H. Says these are the costs and this is what we spent and we review it. Is this generating what the mayor would want to see, does that happen . I do not think so, but i can confirm that for you. Okay, cool. There was a fair look at mhsa last year indiscernible . System review. And were audited by the state so our quality review and our annual reviews have items related to mhsa outcomes. I know that theres a lot in here. One of the things that was in here that i was interested in that i did not know about but seems relevant to some of our current discussions around access is the behavioral access center. What is that, and what does that do . So is it a place . Yes, its 1380 howard. We are located were at the very right at the entrance lobby on the first floor there towards the left. I have heard of this. Yes. So it serves as an entry access point for Health Services. A center and thats an access point for Mental Health . Yes. They help them with applications for medical. And they also provide information for the various providers and all of that information is provided to any community or San Francisco resident who is interested in becoming part of the Behavioral Health services. Supervisor mandelman i believe that the hours are monday to friday and 9 00 to 5 00 and not open on the weekends and into the evening hours. But with there being a place in San Francisco where anyone with Behavioral Health needs is supposed to go or could go and drop in at least if its between 9 00 and 5 00, and receive a referral, get connected to clinicians, connected with whatever else one might need, that place exists correct. Supervisor mandelman it may not be we may think of the hours, whether it might need some more hours but thats an existing current yeah, i had heard about this. I didnt connect that this is what that was. But im glad that we have it and maybe that we need to expand it. Right. Supervisor mandelman thank you. Supervisor fewer okay, theres no report on this so lets open up for Public Comment. Any members of the public that would like to comment on item number 7 . All my demonstrations that i put before you, when i showed you the two towers, 144unit Apartment Building complex was bought at the Bargain Basement price of 56 million and then another Apartment Unit complex, 87 units and thats a threestory building as well for the mere price of 57 million. And then you talk about theres no place like home . The best treatment to give the people who all of you want to help is to give them a home. Now youve already on the right track in the Mission District where youre talking about building building for people who have mental disabilities. But is that 100 for people that have mental disabilities . Or is that just a big large Apartment Building complex and you are only putting two or three people in the building thats got a mental disability . All of this money that you spend and you give to trent royal and all of the money to the Behavioral Health money, all of this money that youre giving to the Overall Department of Public Health should be spent on building those type of Apartment Building complexes and get that 8,011 people thats homeless out on the street who you claim thaw want to help. Youre not going to be help all of those people with a program and an office and a headquarter spread out through the city. How you going to provide all of these services that you put up there on the viewer, which is a good track youre on the right track but how you going to help them when you dont even know where theyre at . All you know is they in the city and county of san damned francisco. And if you house them first, understand me, then you can provide the services for the people thaw want to help because they have a place to live. You are doing it tailend, ass backwards. You have been doing this for well over several generations and thats why you have so many people homeless out on streets right now. Supervisor fewer thank you very much. Next speaker, please. Well, i feel certain that you have the best of intentions but i ask, nonetheless, how is it that now while we are presently suing a number of important pharmaceuticals, manufacturers and their regional distributors for a significant sum of billions of dollars owing to their illegal conduct in the mass promotion of highly addictive substances and by we, i mean cities and counties and states throughout the county as plaintiffs in multiple lawsuits. Im glad that San Francisco has come around to join the litigation. How can it seem like a good idea for taxpayers, with the bill, for example, for Mental Health care, for all possibly opening the door to future potential abuse on a significant scale. Again, to the benefit the financial benefit of our industry, possibly to the detriment of society and the individuals within it. Present Mental Health programs are already funded and they have a source of revenue and the budget has expanded by 1 billion yearoveryear at the expense of the local economy. Can you Work Together with your colleagues to better organize the budget, potentially and hopefully for the benefit of the Small Businesses just beyond your doors. Thank you. Supervisor fewer thank you very much, any other Public Comment, seeing none, Public Comment is now closed. Supervisor, would you like to make a motion . I move that we forward this to the full board with a positive recommendation. Supervisor fewer thank you very much. Madam clerk. Call item number 8. Clerk item number 8, ordinance delegating the authority to the general manager of the Public Utilities commission, for revenue from such an agreement is 1 million or more and amending the administrative code to establish a low carbon fuel standard credits sales fund to receive funds from the credits sales for use in connection with projects that will reduce San Franciscos Carbon Footprint and or advance its sustainability goals. Supervisor fewer thank you very much and so before we start the presentation id like to say that i would like to continue this item and hear the presentation next week. In the meantim meantime id likk the b. L. A. To do a report on this, and do you think that could be ready by the next budget meeting . Yes, we will have a report for the next budget. Supervisor fewer thank you very much. So i will take Public Comment on this item now and well hear the presentation next week along with the b. L. A. Report. Thank you very much for coming today. Lets open this up for Public Comment. Are there any members of the public that would like to comment on item number 8 . The part here where youre talking about the Public Utilities commission and the fuel standards, the only thing that i could see as far as the Public Comment that relates which makes me think about is the way that preferential treatment is being given to pg e for starting all of these fires and then having the problem further compounded by means of gathering with the taxpayer money to help pg e to pay for the damages they delivered to their customers is outrageous. How you going to help the victims of a lawsuit who win a lawsuit and youre going to help to defend it and pay for a lawsuit and you are supposed to be the government . Thats a contradiction. How you going to go and help a defendant pay for his violation of personal injury law and the destruction of property if premises Liability Law and then turn around and go help the difficult . Defendant . Thats a conflict of interest and a waste of the taxpayers money and you have 8,011 people homeless in San Francisco, not including the hundreds and thousands of people thats homeless lined up in tents leading up to the state Capital Building where Gavin Newsome works. Thats disgusting. So i object to him doing that and hes setting us up for a lawsuit because youre not helping other people in lawsuits who lose and helping the defendants to pay the fees. Sincerely. Supervisor fewer thank you. Any other Public Comments . Public comment is now closed. So id like to make a motion to continue this to the next meeting of the budget and finance committee. And we can take that without objection. Thank you very much. Madam clerk, read item number 9. Cloik item 9, approving amendment 42 agreement cs991, preliminary design and Environmental Services for the transmission and the distribution project and authorizing the proper Utilities Commission to execute the amendment increasing the agreement apound by 4 million for a total not to exceed the amount of 11 million for a term of august 1, 2010, to august 31, 2022. Supervisor fewer thank you very much. And i thablg we have mr mr. Ramonabu. Yes. Supervisor fewer thank you very much. So, good morning, chair fewer and supervisor mandelman. And im the Deputy Assistant general manager for power enterprise. Today we are requesting your approval of amendment number 4 to cs991 with for the continued work on the big corridor transmission and distribution projects. And just a background information, with what is the big corridor transmission distribution project . Known as bctdp. And it will be constructed along the bayside of San Francisco. And well have some independence from pg e and control of our own Distribution System and a capacity of 75 megawatts. And we will still be interconnecting at 230,000 volts or 230 k. B. And well be distributing the voltage to our customers at about 12,000 volts. And so the substation basically will convert the high voltage to 12 k. V. So just to give you additional background, what happened with this contract and the reason for the extension is that when this project was initiated it was initiated back in 2006, with the closure of pg es power plant that was shutdown in 2007. In 2008 well, during that period there was a major concern about the reliability of the electric service in San Francisco. And so in 2008, the mayor and the board of supervisors directe sfpuc to have a transmission project, that means that well build a transmission line between watersville and to enter the city. And a new youer substation in order to bring the power directly into the city to replace what was then the potrero plant substation. And then in 2010, this contract was initiated and the project went on to 2012, and at that time a preliminary report was prepared by dnrus, addressing the issues or the challenges that well be facing in building the transmission line from warnerville into San Francisco. And so but at the same time there was some changes happening with our relationship with pg e and the Interconnection Agreement was expiring. And so its redefining the use of the transmission line. And so theres some Business Decisions that needed to be made. So at that time the project was actually stalled. So from about march 2012 to january 2016, there was no work that was done on the project until we can address those business concerns. So why are we doing this, were investing in our own distribution to serve our local communities. This is going to be the beginning of it. And we will have control to provide safe timely and Reliable Service to customers and i want to emphasize safety and reliability. This will be a brandnew system that we will control ourselves. And theres a lot of development along the corridor, that is why we selected this project, this location, to build this transmission system. And at the bottom of the diagrams you can see thats where the substation is going to be and towards the middle you will see where the potrero substation is. So at the end of the connection from potrerch ro substation well be building distribution substation next to the plant on 398 queen street. And the idea for this bctd is to be able to make it scalable and to be able to grow it based on the needs that we have and other customers that wed pick up from pg e and we are exploring other construction so that we can build up and integrate a fully distributed system in the city of San Francisco. Potential Customer Base shown here, theres development at the seawall at 337, through 370 and were doing their projects so we can support the need for the southeast plan to meet the regulatory requirements to have a reliable backup service into the plant for the sewer treatment. Just to show you what 75 m. V. A. Or megawatts is, this is the load that we anticipate from the customers that were going to be serving, effective in the spring of 2021. 75 m. B. A. , well build up through at least 60 megawatts so well have a lot of capacity, redundancy and reliability to keep light the lights on. So there has been three amendments today and the contribute is dated back to june 2010, to review the transmission interconnection or the transmission system. And then the project was stalled and so the First Amendment was to extend the contract so that we can continue with the work and then number two in may, we defined the project better and there was an amendment for additional funding and also an extension. And then amendment number 3 happened recently when we have identified the location for the substation. We needed time to prepare the budget and the request to come here today before you today for approval and we needed the five months. The contract was going to expire before we could prepare so we only asked for an extension to give us time to prepare for this meeting. Or to prepare the report. So the total project is going to be 11,500,000. And the total is 11 years and 8 months duration. And noting that we did have a time period where we didnt do any work for about three years and six months. So im here to request for you to adopt the amendments, the legislation, as proposed by sfpuc, with one minor correction the date of completion will be april 2022, not august 2022 as shown in the legislation, so well update that. We ask that you authorize to execute amendment number 4 for the bctd project and increasing the amount by 4 million, and about two years and eight months, and at the same time also to correct the name for you, u. S. Corporation america, to u. S. Corporation. Their name has recently changed. Thank you. And im open to questions. Supervisor fewer thank you, any questions . Seeing none can we hear from the b. L. A. , please. The board of supervisors is being asked to approve the Fourth Amendment to the contract between p. U. C. And u. R. S. Corporation and they provide engineering and dine services for the bay corridor and cust distribution project. This is the first time that its come before the board because it increases the contract amount by 4 million from 5. 7 million to 11. 5 million and extends the term to 2022, which is consistent with the extension of the project itself. And we recommend approval. Supervisor fewer thank you very much. Lets open this up for Public Comment now. Are there any members of the public that would like to comment on item number 9 . Pretty good idea, sir. But i think that my ideas and plus with my hands on demonstrated experience of being in the oil business as a kid during my younger years is that it will make things better. First of all, the transmission of electrical power thaw are genrthat you are generating fro, and to use power lines to bring that amount of voltage into the city. You should transmit that power in a conduit line which is like a pipeline thats under the ground surface, so you wont create all of these hazardous fires like pg e has already demonstrated and wiped out thousands of homes. And the loss of lives behind that poor maintenance and old obsolete transmission of power. And youre talking about being independent, and id like to see you further expand and get your own license and start up your own Solar Company and create jobs and make solar panels without going through a private contractor and be your own corporation and start using solar power along with your original idea, sir. That would cut back and free the city from being at the need of operating electricity with pg e. Pg e is disgusting. Come every time you turn around theyre getting preferential treatment for delivering damages and then when they get sued you turn around and you want to charge the Company Strike that you want to charge the customer to pay the fee on the violation and premises Liability Law damages that you delivered to the customer. Thats disgusting. Their executives is getting multibillion dollar bonuses and then you talk about they dont have any money to pay the customers of who they hurt, and the lives that are lost. And forget the nuisance supervisor fewer thank you, mr. Wright. Any other Public Comment . Seeing none, Public Comment is now clo
