The first part looks at those same injury rates and illness rates that we talked about before and they can earn up to 90 points in the procedure on that based on a good safety record. Second part is we ask them to submit their safety documents and procedures. They can get up to 50 points for having all the correct documentation. Then our expert can evaluate their documentation its all in your materials. Im not going to try well see if greg can keep up with the slides. A matrix where our expert looks at the documents or scores them as being below standards, meets standard or better than standard. What were trying to do is promote in the industry a culture that promotes workers, citizens, and city employees. The next component deelz wials osha violations, things that supervisor peskin brought up, in particular, the fatality that occurred, that contractor had a number of citation appeals that were stretching on for a period of time. And the prequalification process that we have right now doesnt look behind that, and both the Controllers Office and the supervisors suggested that we should look more closely at osha violations. And in you know, the long Time Construction law, in looking at the responsibility determination, its my view that its in the purview of the commission to look at all facts available to us regardless of where it is in the adjudication process with ceqa. The important part in that responsibility cases is that to contractors provide due process, we are as were providing due process in two places. When they submit their information, were saying submit a copy of your citation. If youve appealed it, submit a copy of everything you submitted to appeal it. And further, if youd like to write us an explanation further explaining the explanation and circumstances, well consider it. In this, well have our expert Safety Consultant do an evaluation and a score. The final decision is up to the manager and his designee. Excuse me. Should i wait or ask a question . I think hes almost at the end. Im almost done. Okay. The final thing is should a contractor not be determined prequalified, so theyre not qualified to bid a project, were requesting a hearing before a neutral evaluator, and they can present a case to try to overturn the decision. The scoring sheets in your packet, the slide goes through it all in more detail, but i recognize you dont have time at this point, but ill conclude here and be happy to answer any questions. So what you were saying is that now with what we have in place, this contractor that had a violation, but it was pending or had not been caught, that he had some prior incidences . Right. If its not a final determination by osha, we dont look to see whats going on. And theres a recognition with the supervisors or controller that thats not adequate to protect the public safety. Okay. So you dont look behind it. That means hes out. If a contractor no, if a contractor gets a citation and appeals it, it may be on peappl for a long time, and the process now, we dont look until theres a final determination by osha. Our office, in a final determination, we can look at all the facts and make our own determination independent of what osha was doing. So he would not be qualified . We would evaluate the circumstances and score it, determine whether theyre appropriate or not. Its not a yesorno answer. So even if its pending, you, then, would do an independent investigation or evaluation . Yes, maam. Okay. All right. And ultimately, the contractor is deemed qualified or not qualified to present their case. And one of the rhines that we wanted to bring it in front of you is we may have some contractors who may fail the prequalification, want to come to the commission and bring it up. But we just want to let you know the purpose that we are moving in this direction is we want to make sure that we provide all the workers, contractors have a really sound safety program, and so thats why we were working with the risk manager, city attorney, all the other chapter 6 departments, the board of supervisors, to come up with a process so that if we do have another fatality, we have done some Due Diligence and make sure that safety was on the forefront of who we selected to perform the work. So this is a question either for harlan or the councsel because i read this very quickly because i wanted to hear what was being said. So this is strictly about making contractors get these jobs safer. This does not affect other than having a better contractor source, this is not going to affect extra rules on the work site or anything along those lines. This is scrutiny that this is strictly scrutiny during the hiring process. It set a floor it sets a floor, that we dont want to be contracting with people below that floor. Okay. Got it. Again, im going to say again that i wish that the folks that represent people and the folks that go down when theres an accident and the business representatives and the folks that represent the engineers and the folks that were hurt on the job apart of the stakeholders is part of the stakeholders meeting. Thank you. I just want to point out in your example is what should go into safety plan. We do want to make sure they do a safety plan, but we can get into that. Any other comments, questions . Thank you. Any comments from the public . May i have a motion . Move. Second. All those in favor . Opposed . The motion carries. Thank you, randy, for making that fit.

I love to help people in many waves. Path has that experience and training. His professionalism is there when there is danger. We hope there isnt. I know accidents can happen. When they do, it is important to have someone like path like pat available. They were treating weeds using the utv. It is an off road vehicle seating two peak. They rolled the utv in a remote area. Pat was first on the scene. I was 100 relieved that pat was there to calm the situation down, to know what to do for the injuries we had and to make sure the right people were on the way. I think that in that moment, pat shined as he would in that type of situation. It is important for us. We are a small staff with a large area to patrol. If we dont have the support of the public we will not have their eyes on our watershed. We work closely with the neighboring organizations, whether they be east Bay Regional Parks or the garden club. We try to involve them in protecting the watershed. There is a lot of ways pat engages the community and stakeholders in every case. I would say pat does it in a professional and uplifting way because of his personality. It is a team effort. That is what i like best is that we have successfully created a team to work well together, play well together and they do a good job on the watershed. Pat the wore she of the worthy of the award. He cares about the community that engages the land and fellow employees. Pat is about the team. Always willing to lend a hand when somebody needs a hand.

Item two an ordinance retroactive office of the Financial Empowerment in the amount of 365,000 for implementing the kindergarten through College Program for september 1, 2019 through augus. Amending the annual salary of one granted class for is the Senior Management assistant position. We have eric here from the treasure and Tax Collector. I am the sponsor of this item. I just want to say how wonderful the kindergarten to College Program is. I will talk about how wonderful it is. Good morning. Thanks for having me here this morning. Eric with the office of treasure and Tax Collector. I am to present an ordinance authorizing the office of the treasure and Tax Collector to accept 365,000 from the Mott Foundation to support the kindergarten to College Program. As we were talking about we launched this in 2011 based on research that shows kids with savings with a College Savings account are up to seven times more likely to attend college than those without. Since 2011 this has automatically opened more than 42000 accounts for sfusd students who enter kindergarten. It is automatic. There is no paperwork to fill out, no Social Security requirements, no minimum balance requirement. The city provides the initial 50 deposit and private funds are used to incentivize families to continue to save. The incentives work. Families have saved more than 4. 6 million of their own money for college, and more than 50 of the families who save qualify for free or reduced price lunch. This grant money will fund a position focused on increasing outreach to families, students and teeners and to continue to encourage families to save in those accounts. We are seeking retroactive approval. It is consult to get it into the budget for fy1920. We moved as soon as possible when it was signed. Any members of the public to comment. Seeing none, it is closed. Any comments or questions on this . This is a great program. I want to be say as we try to close our financial gap, it is our job now as city and county to close the racial achievement gap and prepare everyone for college. I would like to move this to the board with a positive recommendation without objection. Thank you. Can you please read item 3. Resolution for a Program Grant 488,000 from the federal Management Agency through Emergency Services for phase two of the switchyard slopestylization from august 6, 2018 through april 30, 2020. Thank you very much. We have susan howe. From the San FranciscoPublic Utilities commission. Good morning supervisors. I am to accept and expand the fema mitigation grant. This was passed through the california Governors Office of Emergency Services for an amount not to exceed 488,259 did. Phase two of the project. So the early switchyard is a facility of the San FranciscoPublic Utility Commission water and Power Division located on the river on groveland california. The switchyard transmits electric power to kirkwood and home powerhouses to the city. In 2013, the rim fire severely burned the slopes adjacent to the switchyards as you can see. This increased the rock falls and landslides which could damage the switchyard and impact power transmission. At that time we declared a major federal disaster applying the fema grant funds for this project. In 2014, the San FranciscoPublic Utility Commission submitted application for the project and the project is divided to two phases. First is preaward of grant and environmental studies and engineering design. Second is where we are today the construction and closeout. If you recall in 2017, the board of supervisors approved the 404,208 for phase one work completed as of today. This is a timeline showing the activities. I am not going into detail. Last month we received reimbursement for phase one. This shows the timeline for phase two work. Currently line item 3, septembed construction. It is in progress. Our goal is to complete by january 2020. We will submit for phase two by april 2020. Today i hope the budget and finance committee can recommend the switch funds for the project in the amount of 488,259. Thanks for your attention. Project manager and i will be happy to answer any questions you have. Any comments or questions . Could we have a bla report, please . Thank you. They approve the grant from fema for stabilization subsequent to the rim fire the total project cost is shown in table two on page 7. 1. 7 million including contingency. In addition to the grant the Power Program will fund the balance. There is currently sufficient money in the budget to cover these costs. I recommend approval. Thank you. Open for Public Comment. Any members of the public to comment item 3 . It is closed. A motion to move to the board with positive recommendation. If we can take that without objection. Thank you. Can you call item 4. Resolution approving the port of San Francisco to number one between ch2m hill engineers for the planning, engineering, Environmental Services for the seawall resiliency project to increase the contract amount 19. 9 million not to exceed 59 million. Good afternoon, we are here to request your recommendation to the full board of supervisors for an amendment to a contract between the port and ch2m hill engineers in the amount much approximately 19 million. This is for the embarcadero seawall and other efforts. In todays presentation i want to provide a update about the sea wall where we are with the army corps of engineers flood study and give an overview of the contract amendments. As you know, we focused our initial resilience work at the port along the embarcadero seawall three miles from the aquatic park to the ballpark. Since then we received direction to extend the efforts portwide the entire 7. 5 miles effort to focusn 500 million phase one is a much larger program. It could be up to 1 billion. We are really happy to be in the southern waterfront with these discussions with those communities. This is a multibillion dollar effort over decades to help the public understand the phase nature of the program. We have a resilient framework focused on strengthening the initial investments to protect life safety and facilitate the citys Emergency Response after a disaster and adapt plan to adapt to mid century sea level rise, and we know that with two 100 water levels of five or more feet of sea water rise we need a new water front. We want to envision 2100 resil ient waterfront not for now but so we know what we are building to. Where we are with the sea wall program. We are grateful for proposition a in november 2018. We have been engaged in Robust Community engagement since passage of the bond. Our focus now is on the risk assessment. We are trying to understand the seismic and flood risks on the water front. We have a geotech any cal program over 100 borings to understand the soil conditions in the area. There is complex work underway. We are not just interested in seismic or flood risk, but the consequences of those hazards for people. How does it affect the embarcadero network, Disaster Response . We have a district significantly dangedamaged. We have assets on the waterfronts. We are trying to understand the consequences of the damages and the citys recovery time. We expect to be able to review results with policymakers and city staff in early 2020. We will be back with briefings for supervisors and staff. Public results are expected in the Second Quarter of 2020. We will do outreach to port tenants to be able to explain the effect of these damages on their leaseholds and businesses. Damages will be expressed typically in terms of economic losses and casualties that we project. Our phase one focus, as we told you before, is live safety and Emergency Response. There are some areas that deserve additional study. The ferry area is com
