Transcripts For SFGTV Government Access Programming 20240714

The majority of the class were people of color, men and women. I had the opportunity of going to the access point for a whole month in and out of the office, sitting, listening, and talking to different people. I got to hear the men and women, the joy of learning how to work the computers. The peace and confidence of doing it because of being walked with hand in hand. That was the response when we told them about other places of employment and training. In knowing that we do need to pursue more opportunities to do all types of work. Many of our young people want to do the cosmetology side. And making their own clothes. We do want to see you do more differently, and better, with your side of it area there are other opportunities that are springing up and doing a good job. I wanted to make a comment. First of all, i do want to thank city build and all of the other different agencies that Work Together to do this training and Workforce Development and all of the underrepresented communiti communities. The one thing that i do want to see happen is that these organizations work with the community as well as the. , not much in a contentious way but more of a cooperative way. And then listening to the Public Comment as well as a comment from the Different Department heads, i am hearing from both sides that there is some areas of improvement around transparency. One of the ways that that can be alleviated is not just to take the members on tours of the properties, which actually provide them the. With an actual reporting of what is happening in terms of compliance. Maybe whether it be quarterly, or by annually, but letting the. No specific governing body in the area and also overseeing some of the Workforce Development stuff what is happening. I know joshua was saying how these reports are coming forth. I think letting the. Be informed of what is happening and what is changing in terms of the workforce. I would love to see this program and expand doubled the numbers and not just 100 people, seeing if we can maybe do 200. Identifying additional gaps on more zip codes that need this training to prime that pipeline. Like you said, we are not meeting the 50 . Even though that is a lofty goal, we should be doing everything we can to get more people in the loop and get to those direct, i think you said it was i direct interview stage. Okay. Thank you. Any other comments . Commissioners, the last comment i want to make is i want to express my gratitude to the commissioners, the ocii staff. Just for context. Ocii has the highest placement and gets the most for local residents. I definitely want to thank you for all of the support you have been providing to the program. As part of the gratitude, we have a chili cookoff that is happening this saturday. Its an alumni get, full of graduates, over 1400 graduate that graduated the last 13 years. Not all of them are going to come back. We are expecting at least 200 people, ten contractors are cooking the chili. You get to vote to see if the chili taste good or not. They are going to get the prize, the grand prize is dinner for 4 at the house of prime ribs. That is our appreciation to them. These are contractors of ocii projects across the city. Its a way for us to think these contractors were hiring our students. That is the first thing. Im going to hand it off to mr. Clark. Second, if i do not give a special thanks to my Housing Authority association, a lot of the association knows i am a product of Housing Authority. I grew up in public housing. We actually received a lot of services that we are currently providing at the workforce. I want to give a special thanks to them, and to you to give me the opportunity to continue to serve the public. Thank you for that opportunity. Please join us at this chili cookoff. Thank you. We hope to see you on saturday, those of you that can make it. We provide an invitation for the opening of the district 11 access point that will be operated by innercity youth and Community Developers in the next couple of months. Thanks again. Thank you. Okay. The only followup question is the budget. If we are adding a task to the mou, is there sufficient budget so folks can come back . We will define the scope of work and have oewd give us an estimate for a budget amendment. Thank you. Fellow commissioners, i think we are ready for a motion. Would someone like to make a motion .

It covers candlestick. And phase two of the shipyard, and historically provides services for the project area. A little background here. In 1991, the u. S. Navy was authorized to transfer the shipyard after environmental remediation. To the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency now known as ocii in 1995, the Hunters Point shipyard was swarmed to advise the Re Development agency and ocii on the redevelopment of the shipyard. In 1996, the Redevelopment Agency began operations of the Shipyard Site office. There have been support services for the site office dating back for a very long period of time.

Which makes recommendations on ocii to the phase i and phase two benefit funds.
