Upfront costs for being green are high, so in terms of why that matters in terms of framework, it could be interesting to do that. Another thing is why it matters for people . I think that stormwater regulation does matter for people, especially when its raining and things are flooding. Thats a huge reason, so im wondering if this body could help with translating how some of this work shows up in peoples daytoday lives. And part of that could be with the universitys developing scorecards on why those things matter that can be easily disseminated and digested by the community. And the other thing is just metrics impact. Thinking through one of the things i was thinking is interesting theres already a lot of what you mentioned here, too, in terms of goals and items that Treasure Island is delivering on, but i still dont know what those things are and what they actually mean. We talk about carbon sequester, but what does that mean to people . I guess, like, what is the baseline in like, lead m. D. . Is everybody doing that . If not, we should be targeting why everybody is above the baseline. We should be mentioning is this baseline that youre touching on or are you not going to talk about that . Very much concerns. Lets see. Mr. Dunlap . Thank you very much, madam chair. I think this is a great, brilliant idea, and im really excited about the potential for being platinum. I think thats exciting, and it sort of raises a question, though, you know, we never hear about Treasure Island getting platinum, the lead platinum. We hear about outages, that kind of stuff. I think another way to get it to the press so we start getting the really positive press we deserve because everybodys staff, board has worked extremely hard, and you know were doing meaningful work, but it all ends up in peoples heads, at least, that oh, youre the people that are poisoning everyone, and were not. You know, theres so many great things, so a Committee Like this could maybe also tip the press balance. So i really like that idea and of course explaining why it matters. Thank you. I think we need to generate our own press, and that is what this is. And i just want to say certainly sustainability and position and the global everything, and even where theyre going to be overlapping, land use and transportation is land use, and all those things are related into that. This allows the flexibility into one where we are finishing one discussion, now we have two others that we can supplement that, you know, back and forth, back and forth. And i also would like to also have zero waste, which is really where San Francisco is leading and all of that to be a key item also in what were doing because our development plan, the reason we have this lead platinum, again, is what were doing with stonewater energy and all were using them, and the plan that we have with the p. U. C. And the waste and the solids and all of that. This allows the opportunity to how we have this new island, and how we are even going to go beyond what San Francisco main already have. So no matter how we cut this thing, we now have the flexibility to do what we ever wanted to do with our discussions. Thank you. Thank you. Is there any Public Comment . Hearing none, next item. Clerk item number 11, discussion of future agenda items by director. Any future items . I just wanted to point out really quickly that, again, in the march meeting on the island, we will be looking at the very, very important issue about earthquake preparedness. Thank you very much for that. Hearing no other items, next item, please. Clerk meeting is adjourned. Thank you. Thank you very much. Hi. My name is carmen chiu, San Franciscos elected assessor. When i meet with seniors in the community, theyre thinking about the future. Some want to down size or move to a new neighborhood thats closer to family, but they also worry that making such a change will increase their property taxes. Thats why i want to share with you a property tax saving program called proposition 60. So how does this work . Prop 60 was passed in 1986 to allow seniors who are 55 years and older to keep their prop 13 value, even when they move into a new home. Under prop 13 law, property growth is limited to 2 growth a year. But when ownership changes the law requires that we reassess the value to new market value. Compared to your existing home, which was benefited from the which has benefited from the prop 13 growth limit on taxable value, the new limit on the replacement home would likely be higher. Thats where prop 60 comes in. Prop 60 recognizes that seniors on fixed income may not be able to afford higher taxes so it allows them to carryover their existing prop 13 value to their new home which means seniors can continue to pay their prop 13 tax values as if they had never moved. Remember, the prop 60 is a one time tax benefit, and the Property Value must be equal to or below around your replacement home. If you plan to purchase your new home before selling your existing home, please make sure that your new home is at the same price or cheaper than your existing home. This means that if your existing home is worth 1 million in market value, your new home must be 1 million or below. If youre looking to purchase and sell within a year, were you nur home must not be at a value that is worth more than 105 of your exist egging home. Which means if you sell your old home for 1 million, and you buy a home within one year, your new home should not be worth more than 1. 15 million. If you sell your existing home at 1 million and buy a replacement between year one and two, it should be no more than 1. 1 million. Know that your ability to participate in this Program Expires after two years. You will not be able to receive prop 60 tax benefits if you cannot make the purchase within two years. So benefit from this tax savings program, you have to apply. Just download the prop 60 form from our website and submit it to our office. For more, visit our website, sfassessor.

To achieve a longterm funding bill, the house and Senate Appropriators still have to approve funding allocations for federal agencies, and of course that means that the Older Americans act is caught up in that wait. So essentially, National Association of area agencies on ageing which is our federal or National Organization that really lobbies for the Older Americans act is asking for continued advocacy for localities to push the Older Americans act in with the house suggested forward. So we still dont know yet what thats going to look like. Unfortunately, it got held up in that process as did a lot of other things. So ill keep you updated on that. And hopefully in the next cycle before the holidays something will happen with it, but that may be unlikely at this point. We may be looking at next calendar year for that to get passed. And then at the state level, there continues to be a ton of activity around the master plan for ageing. I think i announced last month that i was going to be going to the longterm supports and Services Subcommittee of the Master Plan Advisory Committee to present on our benefits and resource hub model that we have here. That presentation was really well received at the state level. The state is really excited about the kind of the focus on care coordination or sorry, coordination across programs and also trying, attempts to get at a personcentered approach, a onestop shop. So the California Welfare Directors Association has also asked me to come present to them tomorrow and present that model. And i think that model may very well be a piece in the recommendations in the master plan for ageing. So what ive realized in doing this exercise that were one of very few counties that are referring Intake Services for disabled and older adults. San diego has a similar model, but many counties do not. Many counties, the welfare departments, which include Inhome Services and Older Adult Services are acting separate from the services for ageing, meals for adults and Transportation Services and those things. I think one of the thicks thats laid out in the master plan executive order is that we get to coordinated services for people. So its kind of exciting that our model is being seen as one thats innovative and that works for people and hopefully, the state will think about i mean, it doesnt have to be our model. Our model may not work in large rural counties, for instance, but the idea that we really pull things in to one place for people is really exciting to them. Other models that we have that people are starting to look at is we just completed our twoyear ucsf, i should say, completed their twoyear study of our home program, and some of the results from that make that model very promising, make that pilot seem like something that could be expanded, and the state is really interested in looking at that model, too, and looking at the results that came from that study. I was speaking with some people from the state yesterday, and they want us to come and present that model at the state, too. So one of the things that the master plan for ageing also calls for is really thinking about people that dont qualify for medical and what we call the forgotten middle, and that looks interesting to them, any ways, so its validating we think about ways to serve people in San Francisco and its validating to have the state look at our models and say these are examples of what we could do statewide. And i guess the last thing that the states really looking at us and looking at other counties is thinking about how they roll out agefriendly california and what does that really mean . And for us in San Francisco, weve done ageing disabilities in San Francisco. Valerie coleman is our lead on that. Its looking at everything that we do, whether its planning, transportation, builtin environment, whether its our social system, any of those things, its thinking about them with an age and disability lens. Its about making things better now, and its about making things better now, and so the states trying to figure out a way to do that with state funding. What it means is really bringing the state siloed departments together, and how are we going to learn from some other agencies doing this work to make a better california for all thats ageing here . So its really exciting to be a part of that work. And then, locally, we are awaiting the mayors budget instructions. They will come out she has a meeting with the Department Heads on december 16 monday, december 16, and so well be getting our instructions then, certainly, her priorities, as shes been very clear about, are street homelessness, Substance Abuse issues, conservatorship issues, people needing Mental Health treatment and things like that. And she was very clear in the last meeting that will be her primary focus and thats where any dollars or existing dollars will go to help alleviate some issues for people on the streets. So i think with that, that concludes my report unless anybody has any questions. Thank you. Any comments or questions from the commission . I have one, shireen. I think its terrific that your presentation was so well received at the state level. And just briefly, can you tell us what evidence of the effectiveness of our coordinated approach most impressed them . I think its as basic as having somebody i mean, we are not to the evidence part yet, and i want to did tell them also is were really working on this model. Its not perfect yet. I think we have really good well, i know we have really good leadership in place to get it there, but whats really compelling to them is that somebody can come in or call in or get online, and our staff are there to work with them on every service they may need. So if they call if its a caregiver calling about Inhome Supportive Services or a case manager calling about Inhome Supportive Services, our staff are there to say well, what else will this person need . Lets get it in place. If a person is calling in themselves, they may be calling about one thing, but they may need a myriad of things, and or staff is working on whats called a personcentered approach. That kind of saying, okay, lets think about the whole person. Lets think about things they may not know about and share that information with them. That is still in progress and not everybody is going to get that wraparound kind of attention immediately. It takes staff time to be able to get the resources in place. Some people understand that, and some people require a little bit more training, but thats ultimately where were going for that. I think when you think about the difference between that and, you know, some of the air agencies on ageing, for one thing, there are not 58 air agencies on ageing, but there are 58 california counties. There are 33, and the other counties are small, but their challenges are big. Theyve been underfunded, and so theyre not able to coordinate services with the county when thats the situation. So i think the state is thinking well, lets at least give counties some baseline funding so those services can be coordinated better and stablized better. Commissioner pappas . Just one thing. I was not here last month, and you might have addressed it. Will we be getting some report with the passage of prop b how that will affect the department . Thank you. I forgot to mention that to you. We essentially are going to roll out the name change slowly, so one of the things that we can do right now is we can Start Talking about the name as department of ageing and disability services. We have changed over our letterhead, that kind of stuff. But the reason were doing it theres two reasons were doing it slowly well, really, one reason. Because were doing an agency rebrand and were launching that rebrand very early in the year, we are kind of waiting to change over things like business cards and all of that and really do a push to the public until we have a new logo and were able to get that logo on business cards and were able to get ready to go, so youll certainly hear a piece of that. Youll be hearing about that and be asked to spread the word, as well. So well definitely do something around that. I think, yeah, right now, were just really starting to talk about the new name and putting it out to the commission. We have it prepared and its literally sitting on my desk, ready to go, but we will get that out this week. Thank you, commissioner. Thank you. I believe all of you have heard from the Mayors Office, and i believe you all know that one of the things that changes with the commission is a designated appointment. So there will be a designation of a person with disabilities, a person whos 60 or older, and a person whos a veteran, so that may change the commission a bit. Just a quick question. Is a veteran, disabled, and senior. Mmhmm. One person might fit into three categories. Thats true, and thats up to the Mayors Office to figure out. Its one person no. Its three distinct seats. It cant be one person three distinct seats of the seven are designated in legislation. Okay. Thank you. The next item is employee recognition. [applause] okay. So i know there are a lot of a. P. S. People in the house. Thats right. Jerome, thank you for speaking up. But what id like to do is have the clerks for a. P. S. Stand if you could. [applause] and also the clerk the manager of the clerks. Come on, tanji. [applause] so one of the things that we often dont think about but we should because theyre kind of the backbone of the program is what the clerks actually do for a lot of our programs in daas, but particularly in a. P. S. They really help the social workers be successful at serving san franciscans who are victims of abuse and neglect. They are every bit of the solution that a. P. S. Provides the people as anyone is. So so they really are. And i think we often overlook the work the clerks provide for a. P. S. , but its so important. And without we need to keep really good data. We need to know if were doing best practices. We need to know if people have been victims of abuse before. We need to track all of this, right . We need to send all of these records to the state. All of these are really good functions of the program. Im really glad you are an honoree and it gives me a chance to talk about the clerks and tanji, i want to talk about your management. Its really great to have you in protective services. So mary grace, im going to read what your colleagues wrote about you today because its just fantastic. So mary grace first joined Adult Protective Services in 2014 as a Public Service trainee and then became a unit clerk in 2017. As mary graces supervisor of three years, i write this letter with much excitement. Mary grace stood out among the clerical team because although she was not the senior clerk, she raised pertinent questions and provided key input that would later serve as the guide for internal changes. She has remained eternally upbeat while embracing many program changes. It is important to note that for many months, mary grace was the sole clerk for the Program Services age
