Supervisor wiener is here. Thank you very much madam chair the the item before you the sales tax we held at about hearing and presentation and made amendments and continued to say it before you us there is a champion Charter Amendment that is pending in the rules committee and that will be heard at the rules committee tomorrow this sales tax the funds for it would be used transportation, and transportation improvement and Home Services i do have an amendment that two alternative amendments revised section 6 and particularly the authority to make sure this measure and the Charter Amendment pending the rules committee appear next to each other the sales tax immediately following the Charter Amendment so both proposed alternative amendments accomplish that to require the in succession one the alternative amendments designates those will will be the local measures in other words of San Francisco measures followed then belittles nexus study will be the proposed bond as supervisor peskin a authorizing my preference will be to have those inform measures be the first two focal measures that will allow us to throw the Charter Amendment will allow us to make very sizeable investments in the Transportation Needs as well as funds effectively our new department of homelessness in support of services and to jeff and on the boost to transition folks off the streets through permanent housing my preference will be the alternative version of this amendment that makes those two San Francisco ballot measures after a discuss with and Public Comment and based on how the committee feels ill make a motion for one version felt amendment and will then move to continue is one week as amended to next wednesday thank you, supervisor wiener. Do we have any questions or comments on this no maybe well go to Public Comment first on item one is there any Public Comment please come forward okay eileen district retained in opposition to comingling the items two a single tax a capricious a more focus on transportation is the one half cent sales tax a more focused approach for homelessness is the tax on Technology Companies which is file number 16060 with this approach actually a relationship between causeandeffect on the November Ballot there will be 17 state ballots with 20 local ballots initiatives to keep them as precise as possible particularly since there are 400 million in new taxed being permitted on the new Ballot Initiatives alone id like to urge the board to anticipate the voter fatigue and not move forward ive seeing that supervisor wiener has anticipated that ill oppose the wiener amendment the first two amendments on the San Francisco ballot thank you. Thank you very much. Next speaker, please. Good morning. My name is a Richard Rothman im here to oppose this we live in one of the most progressive citys in the country why the progressive sales measures the sales tax mr. Ed reiskin was on a web bar last week he bet 40 or a majority of questions were why is sales tax and even he had a hard time dpnd why cant we have a congestion tax this accomplishes two goals collect revenues and then reduce the number of cars in the downtown area and help vision zero im sure we have the technology with fast track or take cameras you know we need to think outside the box and not having those requests of sales tax the other reason im against this we need to send a message to mta that has my one of my neighbors say their arrogant dont listen to the people that is hard to talk to them you dont know who to talk to call 311 the last 7, 8, 9 i called they dont acknowledge or answer my calls and some a message needs to be sent to mta they need to improve their Customer Service now the sustainable street needs to be reorganized by functions by neighborhoods now i know that adopt needs nor resources than the Outer Richmond and the sunset but no reasons they want manager the planning and the planning i mean, the engineers and the planners together and have teams i propose one team for district one and 4 and 7 or one for 2. This is the only way i know how to send is a message to mta that they need to change the way they do business and sometimes they forgot there is a western half of the city thank you. Thank you very much any Public Comment on item one please step forward. Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. And so we have before us the amendment that supervisor wiener has proposed supervisor yee. Thank you, supervisor wiener for through the chair are we discussing one of the alternatives or both. Through the vice chair ive forwarded both alternatives in the committee we can make a choice my preference is the most important to have the two together my strongest preference is to have them the first two San Francisco measures this is an incredibly important revenue measure into to the department of homelessness in terms of Charter Amendment creates funding for the homelessness and support services as well as so for muni for vision zero, for bart and caltrain so to me it make sense as the first two alternative items ill see what my fellow commissioners have to say. Sure. I think one of your amendments to ask the director of elections to put items two item next to each other make sense to me and i a support that in terms of a amendment i think the other alternatives does the same thing but to list them as the first two items ill have objections there is a protocol weve been following for years and the it is hard for me to sit here and say that is more important than another item you you dont i dont want to end up every election what is more important so well be the first so thats unless you have a better reasoning for this im not sure i can support the alternative of having the first two items. Supervisor wiener. I maam, vice chair i see your view. I completely agree bundling the items together so hopefully voters can better understand why this sales tax is proposed and for what purpose i actually dont have a strong preference where we should designate through the ordinance you know letter ab i think i can go either way but supervisor yee has expressing expressed concerns about you know porsche being an issue in the future ill lean towards saying if once the director of elections assigns a letter to the sales tax whatever the next letter follows is the Charter Amendment. Okay. So the the Second Amendment will be my preference. Not putting them putting them together but the majority is go with the version that simply payers the two together so ill make a motion to amend this item to include the amendment with doesnt ill provide to the clerk that designates the two charter and the sales tax will appear together in order with the sales tax following the Charter Amendment immediately but no where on the list of local ballot measures it will appear thats my motion. Ill second. Seconded by supervisor yee. I move we continue the item as amended to next wednesday. All right. This is july 13th. Yeah. Second supervisor yee. Bless you. All right. Seconded by supervisor yee without objection this is continued to the july 13th Budget Finance CommitteeCommittee Madam clerk, is there any other business before this body .

All in favor, please say aye. Opposed . The minutes adopted item 3, directors report. Good afternoon commissioners. Welcome to fiscal year 1617 and just wanted toi bow many of you just had to open the newspaper or turn on the tv and saw lots of homeless coverage and in august well come back to you as we go through all the homeless coverage to bring updates on what we learned from the coverage and identifies areas of our speedometer that of course includes Mental Health and Substance Abuse and Supportive Services to projeththe mayor announced and one is is the Navigation Center and encampment response team. In the report it talks about the Navigation Center and there will be several others opening this coming year and this has a interesting process where we move individuals there and it will become later a permanent location. This [inaudible] Center Building is own bide the ua local 3 a Plumbers Union so will be rebuilt in [inaudible] with 110 permanent homes. Also, Governor Brown signed a no place like Home Initiative july 1 which provides 2 billion ovthe next 4 years for construction and rehabilitation for permanent housing for individuals with mental illness. This is [inaudible] secure the [inaudible] bonds to fund the Competitive Grant Program to counties that meet minimum eligibility critear ai rchlt San Francisco currently receives approximately 22 million in prop 63 revenue and expected that these revenues could decline between 7 and 10 percent to secure the bond funding so ill meet with staff in the next coming week tooz figure how to manage that reduction in that process and what we usually do is a rfp process, reorganize the programs and potentially have more amounts of money available for some of the programs as a way to support new housing. I was able to participate with nancy pelosi and Congress People on june 29 including the ceo of [inaudible] bringing the family [inaudible] to disarm hate and this was to of course to confront gun violence by [inaudible] no fly, no bye. There was several hundred people at the event and heard a lot from individual jz Community Members working on violence prevention. Today you will hear about the ehr update so just want you to know we are already working very hard on insureing that we are organizing the way we are looking at how to work with ucsf on the potential bringing in apex into our network and will hear more from that from our it directed today. The Asian Pacific islander clinic and bayview Hunters Point health plan will [inaudible] part of a medical group [inaudible] provide primary care and specially care service for hospital and specially services. That provides us more expansion within our network. Illened my directors report there and ask for any other questions from the report . Commissioners, questions to the directori was pleased to hear the director will bring more information concerning the initiatives and the manner in which the department will be coordinating with the department of homelessness over the next several months. That includes moving of course many of our own housing programs over to the department along with the new Navigation Centers so think it will be very important for us to receive regular updates are happening and how we continue to serve those that need or services. Could you let me know a little more or let us know a little more about what the governor is actually doing with those funds and exactlyi thought when you were introducing the topic we would get more money, but it sounds like we are getting less money. Ill let the policy director give a update on that. It is repurnsing the dollars. [inaudible] it is taking some of the revenues that come in already for prop 63 and that is tax on people that earn 63 and that is tax on people that earn over a million a year and rerouting so it can secure larger bond funding, 2 billion Dollar Bond Fund that will be available for counties over 4 psycholts for the next 4 years as they apply for Supportive Housing projects for folks that have mental illness, homeless or formally homeless. It is a application counties can apply for. Overall can can be the same or more funding for San Francisco in total but earmarked for Supportive Housing purposes. Initially it removals from the prop 63 monies to create this fund for which there are grants for homeless funding . Correct, counties get allocations based on a formula under prop 63 so it takes off the top an amount sufficient to secure the 2 billion in bonds and [inaudible] on a competitive basis. Thank you. Other questions to the director . Commissioner pating. We took a good advantage of the county of the first round of 400 million that came out of prop 63 so i would hopemy question is, other projects in the pipeline you can see taking advantage of this . My other commissionersthe funds from prop 63 are generally commingled with hud fun and private funds and other funds so the projects are very complex to bring together which usually the prop 63 aurfs 1 component mostly the service component. Are there projects in the pipeline you can see are early applications for the i probably am not the best person to talk about the projects in the pipeline. Director garcia and [inaudible] is better to speak to that but one criteria specified in the legislation is project readiness and that is among which the projects will be evaluated. I think they listed 5 criteria projects are evaluated on and project readiness is one of the 5. We know the Homeless Department is given the direction of 8 thousand new housing opportunities for individuals and so there is a pipeline for our regular housing area including most recently one o
