Opportunities for seniors and adults with disabilities. The Program Model were basing is in already in prais. Its operation and the reserve program and started in 2005 in new york city and was successful there and ex357bded to other locations in the east coat and midwest and now bringing to San Francisco. Through the procurement process the contractor submitted a well thought out comprehensive model here they will serve as an a liliate to the program and use infrastructure such as program trls and a data base system. Theyre able to access reserve executive staff in new york for consultation during the roll out and operation. Some of the steps taken to adapt this program to San Francisco include most notably the inclusion with adults with disabilities as a target population for services in this program. Its a 55 plus model on the east koacht. They have a Advisory Group to advise on the program. They have met in january. They have secured commitments from at least a dozen nonprofits for possible work Site Development so how does the program work . There are three main things going. They will recruit seniors and adults with disabilities looking for part time work and meanwhile there is recruitment and development of work sites throughout the community which will play host to these part time work roles. Finally there will be the maxing of the reserve to the work placement. They will handle the on going of that placement. Wages are initially fully subsidized. This is used as an incentive for the work sites to develop these work opportunities. The idea though is that as the work site as the work role continues the work site themselves are asked to contribute an increasing portion to depray the cost. By doing this the program has an element of self funding in order to grow the program. The idea there is they might be 100 subsidized but as it goes on and money is brought to defray the placement and starts to start new subsidy start it is elsewhere at other sites so in sum we know that seniors and disabilities want to work and have experience and skills that great benefits to employers. We know there are barriers they face with employment. During the program were hoping to remove some or if not all of the barriers. In addition to economic benefits for the reservists and the work site placements part participants have additional benefits sense of purpose, increased connections with others and contribute to the communities. With that i am happy to answer any questions. Thank you. Any comments or questions from the commission . It sounds like a very good program. Were very excited about it. That i think will provide tremendous improvement and self worth of seniors who feel marginalized and they have nothing to contribute so its a psychological benefit that is difficult to quantify but a good idea. Any comments or questions from the public . Hearing none call the question. All in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed . Thank you the motion carries. Item 9 any announcements . Commissioner simms.

Any other announcements . Cathy. First an apology. I should have been making a report when the Advisory Council did but i wasnt here. I was on the bus. I am the representative to tacc which is represent from all the Advisory Councils in the state. We meet quarterly and the state commission on aging sets it up, runs it, and keeps us going. I think we had a meeting last month but i think what is really important is that we had a speaker, a couple of speakers on the budget and what came out is no one was certain what was going to happen with the budget yet. It was going to be less some way about what was going to go . They were watching and we were feeling extremely like everybody here what was going on uncomfortable with what should we do or how should it be . Seems to me that you have with your state Staff Members excellent people, good. Theyre bright. They have good connections to all the different programs in the state again and again i see that and the speaker on this, so if youre at a point where you really want to ask and get some answers about what is happening with this funding now which is so confusing theyre the people. Call theyre the people. Call sandy in the state office. They will get you the people who are right on top of this and the people who can come out. You can talk to or someone will come here and talk if you need someone about some issue to talk to the group, so were very fortunate to have the people who are in your staff office up there but hey you have the resources if you really you know, to look into this and keep track of what is going on with it, and theyre super nice, and that leads into the fact that i am appointed hereby supervisor norman yee and i was in the office and came to give me an alert which i am sure he wants me to pass on to you. The city budget and finance committee is going to meet here on march 9 at ten in the morning and guess what . Its a hearing on Senior Services citywide and theyre going to have a bla, whatever that is, performance audit from july 2016 in light of the dignity fund. His suggestion to me was what he was saying to me he felt seniors should be there at that meeting. There should be seniors and people from some senior agencies. This is our budget, and finance committee, so im going to try to be there, but hey guys we need to get out and get seniors. Theyre talking about our money and what theyre going to do at the city budget. We need seniors there. Thats the advice i am handing on to you and thats my report. Thank you very much. Could i clarify that the march 9 is a hearing before the Budget Committee of the board of supervisors and the department of aging is responding to an audit that was done by the bla as cathy said. The budget and legislative analyst for the board of supervisors and so the iewd itd was completed last year and supervisor yee is calling for it and we will have a response and he would like it to be a way to highlight services for seniors in San Francisco, so at the same time its a response to an audit i think he wants to make it as positive as possible and thats why he is asking people to come out for it. Thank you. Can i ask a question . Yeah,. You said its july so its about seven or eight months ago. You certainly have saw the report of the audit. What is the general tone of the audit, very generally . Well, i think it has you know really i think the idea was to have the audit come out before the dignity fund to make sure that the department of aging is really ready to be able to responsibly allocate and then track the money for the dignity fund so it looks at some of the practices around that and has some suggestions and talks about things were doing well and thats basically the nature of it and i think supervisor yee just wanted to make sure that we can highlight were ready to spend this money that we have the processes in place. Thank you. Any other announcements . Any Public Comment . I just have one Public Comment, and in terms of the going to washington, d. C. I am just wondering if you could maybe one. Commissioners who is well informed about the budget could go along, our vice president. Think about that in your budget but i think it could be well represented in washington, d. C. It would be helpful. Yeah, absolutely and thats been a Good Opportunity in the past when we did that, right, for commissioners to go. Let me look because this is different from the other meeting we went to. This is the policy briefing. Have you gone to that before . Because we can certainly look into it. It would be a Good Opportunity for one of the commissioners. Thank you for volunteering. [inaudible] [off mic] any additional Public Comment . Hearing none motion to adjourn. Adjourn. Thank you.

Ron [inaudible] will give our monthly construction update. And yet another stormy day. Despite all the rain we had so far we are reporting we are still on schedule. Thankfully to a good part moefs it work is under cover at this point and roof elements work mostly in the rain so it is a good thing. Our graphic here shows that the progress is continuing well. On the roof park the biggest element that is different is we have a lot of mcguire and hester rooftop park elements. Bus deck just all the concrete for the bus deck isle is done and will be done by the end of the month. They have to do a lot of overhead work. When you get to the ground level and the second level, most is like glass is going in and a lot of build out of the rooms, so it is starting to take shape. And below grade these levels focus on getting the important electrical rooms. The west end or upper left area just about whether the rooms are done and will finish up at the east end after those as we progress through. Showing pictures and bullet points in the western zone. Working the skylights. Has all the grass in. The restaurant is starting to take shape, a lot of walls are being poured and mep throughout all levels is progressing and then the concrete masonry unit or a lot of walls for the rooms are just about done. And then our rooms are all getting ready for energy. The last vehicle bike ramperize coming along. In the central zones in the picture that is the biggest change. Trees show aed up. We have 20 of hundreds that will show up but learning turns like Monkey Puzzle and horn beam that are beautiful trees that will all start taking shape as it starlts progressing throughout the year. Also in the central zone mep is the focal point as well. It is really a lot of element and focus is on the electrical and continue to build out the rooms as well. The first street temporary bridge is progressing well and just about up and finished. They will finish most the work this month and progress to beale shortly. In the eastern zone, the like home skylight has the glass in it so thankfully for the storm weez had this week we have glass that is helping tremendously keeping water running or having to deal with drainage issues. Bus deck drive is complete and eastern zone is just as critical and really more taking off the western and central zones have been the focus as we work from west to east. All the cmu walls as well are all must done. The cmu is coming close to completion. The bus ramp, all the concrete is pour frd the viaduct and frame work. They are finishing up the Southern Area near harrison street and also at the Transit Center frame 5 that gap is where most the work happening at this point besides all the clean up as we focus towards the march 30 completion date. Items working on is the railing on the cable stay. Also, the drop in span that is a 50 foot section next to that they are smalling that. There will beonce that is smalled they can do a lot of final work on frame 4 which is cable stay and cut cap the cable squz do the lift off and make the cable stay in the final configuration. We are doing under ground utilities and drainage and final connections needed to complete that particular part of the project. One item i want to note is we have a upcoming close yrb, beale street. Beale street is different than first and fremont in the sake that beale has ocs lines. When we remove the first and fremont we are able to do that on a stage construction element, but because of the major disruption to ocs we started a process of asking about the removal of the ocs linesx leave them down for a period of time to doall our work and get the ocs lines back up and do everything we possibly need to do in this limits of work area and its working through the process and believe we are moving forward with the march 4 closure.
