those are a total of 5 providers. one of the things in terms of the policy issues kw response strategies that we are working on, we manage san francisco pilot that allows us to have a higher state reimbursement rate. the state has a single rate throughout the state which is a problem for us because our cost of care and i have a sloyd to show the rate disparity for title 5 contractors. it is our number 1 policy problem because as we try to support those providers if the state isn't paying their fair share it is a problem. it is a problem for them to keep their doors open let alone provide quality care. that is a big challenge. we have this pilot that allows us to pay a slightly higher state rate and that pilot is due to sunset. it also allows us for families to stay in eligibility for subsidy longer. the state medium income ceiling for eligibility is 43.200 and the pilot rate allows them to stay in the subsidy for 53 thousand. that is for a family of 3 and it changes depend on the size of the family. we also are workin

we're able to accomplish these by educating and by providing direct nutrition education and providing support to the participants with increased access to healthy foods, reducing the consumption of beverages that are high in sugar content, so healthier beverages and also increasing physical activity, and also improving the food resource management skills of these participants. so based on the state's and also the county's profile for snap-ed participants as well as staff needs assessment and also the providers identifying needs and interests we were able to identify two contractors that we recommend to you to help us implement these three projects. again the first project is snap-ed nutrition education and i will provide more details about that. the second project is the snap-ed early gardening project and i will introduce my colleague soon and she will give you details about that project and the third one is the thai chi program. all of the programs are evidence based which means they have been proven to be effective in achieving the impact that we want. all these programs have to be

over a hundred smaller providers around the country. our companies offer internet access on a fixed and mobile bases. and we serve urban areas, rural areas, and companies that are publically and privately held. >> when it comes to mobile is this going to be a strong argument in your lawsuit? >> i think it is a strong argument. the argument is this: congress never intended to treat mobile broadband as a common carrier service. it was quite explicit. internet access service was an information service and that is why i said the fcc is having great difficulty keep in mind the standards we all agree with can be written in a sentence no blocking throttling or paid private. but they had to issue over 300 pages in order to achieve a simple objective. so i think it is important to go back to the court. i am quite confidant the court is going to say what is clear on the face of the statute. there is no authority for the fcc to be regulating the internet. and then i hope that we can get congress to expand the fcc's authority to be able to address

and non-profit providers are all continuously engaged for how we provide the back end support for potential victims, how it is we really address some of the cases that do arise. again, dph is only given a set of tools to work with. >> if i can add, i know the process of getting a permit and i'm all for going through permitting process if that's in line with the similar industries in the profession. the only thing we all know that small business conditional use is a killer. >> what is that called? >> cb 3p. >> if that qualifies for the expedited conditional use process. for me that would be the biggest thing. the fee is part of the cost of doing business special fully san francisco. but with cu and the rents rising and the landlords having the opportunity to rent to so many people, the c u is a place for business. i know supervisor tang you have done an amazing job on your outreach. i wonder if we can explore that further. >>

they're not providing access to the internet, and these rules are just about the companies that provide that access. >> i want to go back to the lawsuit, because i think that's interesting as it's evolved within a couple of months. the fcc tom wheeler has said they have long expected the big dogs to sue, as he said. i mean, how confident are you that there are lawyers at the commission who are ready to go and have these long cases ready to go? are you confident that there is a strong legal defense behind these rules? >> guest: well, as a nonlawyer -- [laughter] but having worked at the commission, i know they have very talented attorneys, and we trust that the -- based off of the verizon court decision that they have gone down the right path, that they're as the chairman said, the court painted a path for them towards title ii, and we believe that they have the power to make that decision. they certainly have classified broadband in the past, have changed the classification. they did so in the early 2000s, so the court's been very clear that they have the power to do that now. >> host:

for our providers there is no where to go to get the money and they are coming to us. we have done estimates on the impact of the minimum wage, but that is really for just the staff that would be impacted by the minimum-lifting the minimum wage and it increases ovthe years as we move toward 15 dollars. the non c sites their choice to increase fees for fmlies which is contrary to the goalotches having care be affordable for families, but those are some of the challenges, jrfxz i want to thank you for presentation and make one more comment. on the first slide of page 2 of the presentation, the pie chart, the first pie chart, we have be careful how you represent where it says early childhood work force and subsidies because if someone who isn't familiar with the field were to look at this they would think only services are at 55 percent. people familiar in the field know this early childhood work force, the funding going to that is to provide the services >> right we need the teachers [inaudi that is a twebl.7 million dollar investment and it is meaningful, but not enough

we have service provider by the name of san francisco clean city that provides systematic cleaning on a monthly weekly and daily basis. >> i'm sorry. you have it? okay. would you rather i just go through it? okay. sf govtv, overhead, please. i will go ahead and read through it, i'm sorry. included in these cleaning services are clean sweeping out of property frontages and twice a month sidewalk scrubbing. 10-20 hours a week of graffiti removal and abatement. hypodermic needle removal and power washing. >> included in our agreement with the serves provider is a sample of equipment that we purchase from year to year, sidewalk scrubers and cleaning equipment. you will see in the photo here this is a sidewalk scrubber we purchased for the fiscal year year 2012-2013. we wanted to take note that our service provider does more than just keep the sidewalk in the neighborhood clean. they also provide a terrific service to individuals that are employed with their program and they provide transitional employment opportunities to individuals that might otherwise have a hard time getting back into

billion in guarantees already provided. in my view, this is a worthy investment, and it needs to be matched by continued reforms by the ukrainians. we need to take a more strategic approach. we need to reinvigorate the institutions that have for so long contributed to the transatlantic relationship and peace and stability. we need to sharpen our arsenal of response options and that means nato and eu integration and adapting them to today's realities. in my view, the attention on europe's east in confronting the threat from russia has been necessary. we also need to focus on the south, also vulnerable to undue russian influence. we need to strengthen and secure economic relationships in the balkans, especially in serbia, montenegro, bulgaria and bosnia. second, our intelligence community also needs to reprioritize the russian threat, not only by addressing the threat in ukraine but across the board in europe. third, communications. i understand the administration is working with a broadcasting board of governors to commit a

and provided since then there has been coordination with park and rec and they sent over 80 people up to the camp and provided individual trauma focussed counselor and there has also been two groups for those kids that witnessed the homicide. we also have offered a grief group at our wellness center and increased our behavioral health staff by adding 3 part-time therapists to provide drop in services as well as individual treatment before i turn this back over, i just want to add that although trauma can be challenging and difficult and people seek help in many different ways with a trauma informed system children adults will heal and find resiliency. >> colleagues, i just wanted to take a moment to call out -- she is called and unseen not just for this incident she has an un paralleled level of the professionalism and compassion and i want to take a moment your work is so tremendous and i know it goes un thanked. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> so i'd like to highlight some some of some of the next steps. >> supervisor campos. >> one of the hardest things you deal with when violence h

we had a group get together in little rock to discuss reimbursement to providers that have provided outside care. you'll have situations that arise, now with this 40-mile rule that the v.a. owes this money, it appears the v.a. owes a lot of people in arkansas a lot of money. and has not been very forthcoming in paying those bills. it's another thing that makes it such that the trust issue that we talk about. the other problem is, if you don't pay your bills, they're going to quit dealing with you. and then, that's the greatest thing. and that really is going to affect quality of care. can you quickly mention that? >> i will, and maybe i'll ask carolyn to comment. i talked about the five strategies from my v.a. one of them i talked about was improving our internal support services. and going to assured services model where we centralize the bill paying. so that's all the people do is something that we're in the process of doing. we're not done yet. we have more work to do. carolyn? >> yes, i would just add that we are tracking this rates of payments and how old the claims are on a weekly bas

tasked with providing those services. this rule provides that any member of this chamber republican or democrat, senior or junior, freshman or retiring, has an opportunity to have their ideas heard. it's the best of what we do in this chamber, mr. speaker. we're going to do it on h.r. 2029. this rule also provides for consideration of h.r. 202. that's the energy and water development appropriations bill mr. speaker. again, i dare say that there's any one, particularly east of the mississippi, that has a district that is not in some way impacted by the army corps of engineers. the army corps of engineers funded in this legislation. individual projects funded in this legislation. and what this rule provides is that any member of this chamber that has an idea about how to better appropriate these dollars these dollars that belong not to us as individual members, but to the american taxpayer, how to better be accountable, be effective, be efficient with these tax dollars, mr. speaker. they can come to this floor and have thei

i'm stacy degoir, a small business owner as a sole provider in the city. i was very happy and thank you supervisor tang for that layout of the different establishments. part of what's been mentioned is this is a very complex issue. i had a handout describing the four different establishments. the first one being general, the second one is this category of declaration of exemption group and then we have the sole fix or out call establishment and out call only establishment. this currently exist in the code right now. what i would like to propose so that this regulation will not just address human trafficking but will address compliance of massage therapist who are being treated as professionals. this category the declaration exemption group become certified establishment category. they will be zoned as medical and only for those that are camtc owners and providers. this is what other cities are doing and it creates that, takes care of some of the zoning issues, a lot of what impedes massage professionals from wanting to step forward. right now the group of

base customers today will continue to be provided by pencil and paid for by those recite payers the one that his they'll not be paying for and per diem is not providing is the supply that's the piece we're proposing to provide. >> if we move towards the build out is there a possibility we'll ever dwell on the distribution i mean there will be complaktsdz. >> there's always a possibility if we're doing our own distributions it no longer a cca program. >> that's an i o u throughout the state. >> yes. the state of california they adopted the law for the program said to the utilities you must at that particular time this program and must provide the distribution meeting and billing serviced and work with the local jurisdiction to bill the consumers and allow them to provide the supply that's the foundational contract. >> and that public good feeds is not going to sunset any time. >> it comes up for renewal occasionally not terminate yet for the electrical customers. >> okay. thank you. >> you're welcome. >> a couple of questions thank you slide 8 you make reference to the energy meeting

the profile of the providers veryies. some provide preschool only and some have larger operations and some get rent from the city in terms of where they are loidated so it is very different but we are aware of all the profiles of how the providers are trying to survooiv. for most of them they can't clarj enough to pay for the cost of infant care, they pay for 234fants are preschool enrollment and sometimes they have school age care and pay for preschoolers infants with school age enrollment >> supervisor yee. >> 1573 is pretty much market rate? >> in 2011 >> yeah. >> it is 85 percent of the market >> if people were to get that we probably can actually meet-we will probably need help with minimum wage in these centers if these centers operate state funded or get 1500 per child. i guess in converse as we move further along and the state isn't giving much of a increase and still giving pretty much about 800 dollars per month per child, and some of this you may or may not know, regardless of the rate you get unlike other fiel

was created to provide. this is a bad bill for veterans and anyone that votes for it should really take a second look. let me just say one other thing. i often say if you're not in the room, you're on the menu. and i am sure that veterans never thought that the republicans would put them on the menu. i yield back the balance of my time. the chair: the gentlelady yields back the balance of her time. the gentleman from georgia reserves. and the gentleman from pennsylvania is recognized. mr. dent: i just wanted to respond to the gentlelady from florida's comments. a lot of people have been saying that we've cut spending in this bill. the president requested 8% increase. we provided for 6% increase. because the president makes a request does not mean that congress has to behave like potted plants and simply exceed every item that the president has asked for. that's not our role as members of congress. our job is to provide some real serious oversight over a department that has failed in many respects. members on

harris: we provide -- we do not like to think of it as a script, but we provide a set of questions to help facilitate the conversation -- everything from how the veteran grew up and was raised and then through things like basic training, shipment overseas, keeping in touch with family members, even questions such as how was the food can really provide insight into that social, cultural experience into serving in the military, which is what our project is about. rios: do you have any guidance for prompting veterans that might be more reluctant to provide their experiences yucca best experiences -- experiences. harris: i would say to the interviewers to be patient. it takes some practice and it also requires one to be a good listener. to provide that space for someone to really share that story that might be difficult to share. rios: you collect audio as well as video oral histories. what other material do you have in the collection? harris: we collect audio and video oral histories, but we also take original material such as letters, diaries, military papers, memoirs, even like creativ

making sure the service we already provide continues to be provided in the future i think everyone that rides bart regularly notices it is not as 1r50ib8 and i get it the other thing ou were talking about the extra toll that was put in places for the busses other people i incorrect you said there was something added - >> oh, so in 2004 the voters of the san francisco county and other san francisco bay area county voted to increase the bridge toll by one dollar. >> right of the late night buses if do you know first hand if you said you want to invest whether they'll be utilized in the same way they were years ago but do you know if they're still unit ever their entry into they not run with an entry ridership and if so where's the money. >> the sfmta metropolitan commission and their wing it's called the toll authority i think it is called administrator the program and set different criteria i think that is you know a farebox recovery ratio you need to continue the services is it depends on the fees and they were cut from the program baselines they're not counterfeiting the standard my un

telecom providers traditionally pay a higher rate than nontelecom providers. the fees are going to go up additionally because pole attachment rates are going to go up. right now a lot of broadband providers pay a lower rate. that will go up. that cost has to be born by someone. it's going to be born by the consumers. that's just the bills. in terms of the actual service, in rural america it is going to you've heard our exchange about how some smaller isps in particular will have to suck up the costs or go out of business altogether. some of the larger providers will have to include a line item. will the commission employ section 201 authority to second-guess the infrastructure we're putting into place for interconnection? the three routes that traffic has to go over could be second-guessed by the commission. all of these things now go through the fcc as gatekeeper. third, consumers are going to suffer as a result of the second-guessing the fcc will do through the internet conduct standard. as the chairman pointed out, we don't really know where this is going t

or is it to provide additional services? and there is tension there. the city in the last three budget cycles the mayor and the board authorized 5% cumulative cola over those three years for non-profit organizations to address organizational cost increases whether wages, benefits or non salary increases so the difference between the 13% growth that you see here over this six year period and the 5% cola -- one way to think about it that increased investment represents increased services that the city is asked of them during the period. as i indicated earlier this is a very diverse group of providers of course, not just the services they provide and not just the departments they contract with, but also just in terms of the makeup of the organizations. one of the variances is the size of the different non-profit organizations so we often talk about them in one breath but they're a varied group. this chart is showing the bars here reflect total spending by the city on contracts in these different tiers so you can see we spend $102 million on contracts of l

that have provided outside care. you'll have situations that arise, now with this 40-mile rule that the v.a. owes this money, it appears the v.a. owes a lot of people in arkansas a lot of money. and has not been very forthcoming in paying those bills. that's a real concern, really for a couple of reasons, in the sense it is another thing that it makes it such that the trust issue that we talk about. the other problem is, if you don't pay your bills, they're going to quit dealing with you. and then, that's the greatest thing. and that really is going to affect quality of care. can you quickly mention that? >> i will, and maybe i'll ask carolyn to comment. i talked about the five strategies from my v.a. one of them i talked about was improving our internal support services. and going to assured services model where we centralize the bill paying. so that's all the people do is something that we're in the process of doing. we're not done yet. we have more work to do. that will improve the rates with which people get paid

can you tell us about the guidance you provide? harris: we do not like to think of it as a script, but we provide a set of questions to help facilitate the conversation -- everything from how the veteran grew up and was raised and then through things like basic training, shipment overseas, keeping in touch with family members, even questions such as how was the food can really provide insight into that social, cultural experience into serving in the military, which is what our project is about. >> do you have any guidance for those and might be more reluctant to provide their experiences yucca harris: i would say to the interviewers to be patient. oral history takes some practice, and it also requires one to be a good listener. to provide that space for someone to really share that story that might be difficult to share. >> he collect audio as well as video oral histories. what other material do you have in the collection? >> we collect audio and video oral histories, but we also take original material such as letters, diaries, mil

we are a diverse group of non-profit providers that provide an array of services and i think having both some mechanism for looking at how best to do that over time while addressing the immediate need for this budget upcoming year and the year following it to have some stability for the non-profit sector, so to have a cost-of-doing business increase -- i will go with john and 5% and api and have a process that actually addressing all of the issues that come up when we try to have this dialogue and i support and appreciate this opportunity and look forward to continued dialogue. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon supervisors. i am jonathan vernic and the executive director of baker places. i want to thank you again for having this hearing this afternoon and better than june 20 something and at that point normally this room is filled with people and there is a human cry and decisions are made, not really in the light of day but in the rush of too many need and too little time. i have worked for baker for over 30 years and baker places has been around for 50 years and

and especially if they're providing the same service and better to provide a narrative and make it clear and concise that way so we tend to cluster services that are the same and provided by multiple vendors so and it's been my experience in serving the commission in the past and serving the dhs commission as well and one less paper to read is to your overall benefit unless you think otherwise and the purpose is eliminate the amount of paper you have to read when approving multiple contracts for essentially the same service and we leave it up to the staff and anne as well to explain to you the nuisances or differences between the vendors and they're collective approach, but essentially it's to make it easier and minimize the reading you have to do in order to prepare for the job you have to do. >> thank you. >> thank you for that. i guess my only follow up question. in this case these are two stellar providers with tremendous reputations to the community and to daas but one of the concerns from my point of view is accountability and the metrics and if we're approving one program budget a

we provide -- our staff helped child care providers establish their businesses, we provide basic and ongoing training in child development, health and safety, business management and other topics and provide coaching and technical assistance and the city's quality network which is designed to design quality options for low-income children. in my four years at children's council, i have become a strong advocate for public investment in child care and early education so all children will have the opportunity to succeed. i've developed deep knowledge of the system, the support for families and people carrying for and educating their children as well as the gaps. for the past three years, i've been ak timely involved in the community coalition that helped with the prop c ledge slaix, i played a legislative role with cpac, i'm excited about the work that oece will be leading this year in collaboration with first five and the ece community that will serve as a road map toward our collective goal, a system of quality ece for all san francisco children. thank you for your leadership and cons

addition to prosecuting cases before the police commission or defending at chief level hearings and provide sustainability reviews and sustained reports meaning that when the occ fine finds there is neglect or misconduct of duty and reports have to be written and some are in excess of 50 pages and forwarded either to the chief for chief's level discipline which is discipline which is 10 days suspension or less or to the next level and up to and including termination but in addition to the two attorneys there is an additional attorney that does policy work for the occ and .75 position that handles the mediations and outreach. the occ conducts policy work and makes policy recommendations to the san francisco police department. last year the policy attorney completed the training video with the department on detecting and overcoming language barriers and wrote the script and worked on the production of this training video as well as another training video for on the department general order of children of arrested parents and involves looking nationally for best practices as well as working wi

for ongoing engineering support, to provide engineering services for rye vicements or review. i just want to make sure in the future that hopefully this department has learned where there may be some troubled issues to try to address that in the beginning. but again, i do express this is a shared nature of then credibly big project. >> okay. all right. at this point, we'll open up to public comment. anybody wish to comment on item number 8? we're on item number 8. >> (indiscernible). >> speak in the podium. >> (indiscernible). >> sir, do you have any comments on item number 8? okay. thank you very much. seeing none, public comment is closed. >> i would like to send forward item number 8 with a positive recommendation. >> okay. we have a motion from supervisor tang. we can take that without objection. madam clerk, item 9, please. >> item 9 is the assures and deliver on the housing development not to exceed approximately 61 million for the purpose of providing financing and the acquisition of a two hundred multi rental housing project located in the city at 588 missionmission bo

amazon received $600 million to provide intelligence cloud services for the cia. so there is kind of an uncomfortable link between a company that markets data on its customers and a government intelligence arm whose business is foreign and more often these days domestic surveillance. so there are growing concerns about privacy and surveillance. >> dr. mosco you mentioned the nsa and you talk in, "to the cloud," about the nsa's data center in utah. what is that and how is it being used? >> it is still under construction and it being the nsa we don't know a great deal about it but that it is enormous. it will store the bulk of the nsa's files on individual and manage data stored elsewhere. so in a sense it will be the information capital of the nsa and, as i mentioned it is built in a mountain. it is a very secure facility. only a few people have reported on what will likely go on there but suffice it to say it will likely be the center of the nsa's data storage processing and information management. >> so if somebody is using a mobile phone or an ipad, a tablet, ar

and non-profit providers are all continuously engaged for how we provide the back end support for potential victims, how it is we really address some of the cases that do arise. again, dph is only given a set of tools to work with. >> if i can add, i know the process of getting a permit and i'm all for going through permitting process if that's in line with the similar industries in the profession. the only thing we all know that small business conditional use is a killer. >> what is that called? >> cb 3p. >> if that qualifies for the expedited conditional use process. for me that would be the biggest thing. the fee is part of the cost of doing business special fully san francisco. but with cu and the rents rising and the landlords having the opportunity to rent to so many people, the c u is a place for business. i know supervisor tang you have done an amazing job on your outreach. i wonder if we can explore that further. >> to expedite the program, they had set certain types of businesses or types of businesses to be able to go through that expedite process. currently massage is not in the

funding for this program was provided by... for a thousand years or more the tanners of morocco have sorted, processed and sold the skins of animals.

who is providing the services right now. >> cypress security. >> so cypress is providing that right now? >> that's correct. >> and you extended that contract before? >> we have extended before through this board, yes. >> okay. so the question i have and this is why i appreciate the time that the additional time but i don't know that additional time necessarily cures the problem i have with the process because if you are taking armed services out of the contract which i think makes a great deal of sense then it's not clear to me that the competitive process that you followed necessarily gets you to the best result. the reason why you go through a competitive process is because you want the taxpayer's money to go to the better than giving you the best deal but you're talking about a different service. if all you're talking about is unarmed services so my question to our budget and legislative analyst is there a way to know that if we're going to take the armed services piece of this contract that in fact this is the company that would have given us the best deal? >> madam president, madam

much of the sellout they provide service to bury -- various countries. on the commercial side they are supporting the u.s. defense department in ways you never dreamed from 30 years ago. they are back on for communication. it is an international world that we live in, and we are getting ready for the next radio conference in late october early november of this year. those agreements will be reach. we have relationships with canada and mexico, agreements with them on how to share certain bands. there are other bands, where we have cell phones on both side of the borders. the bands themselves -- somebody passing through the border, their cell phone service is seamless. and there are sometimes differences on the two sides of the border. there is a great amount of working together, too. >> some of the broader spectrum management proposals, one problem with the u.s. is that we have a life or catered system. fcc is responsible for nonfederal. others people say you should have a -- closure commission. use that framework that identifies brett them -- spectrum. i

pine can speak about that. >> i am sure they would provide more detail. all of the capital projects have some of the very same issues and we work with the same people and do our best to work it out as best we can. this wasn't on the plan but in the short time with the puc everything has turned and waterways and land west has been purchased in some cases by the open space trust, a nonprofit organization and [inaudible] and folks heard most about [inaudible] and currently open to the public and if you often don't see where the boundaries are but some of the roads on the property go right to our property and right now there is a gate and it's closed and we're talking with them and the san mateo county about the responsibilities to take care of

the einstein program was intended to provide d.h.s. situational awareness snapshot of the health of the federal government's cyberspace. based on -- based upon agreements with participating federal agencies, d.h.s. installed systems at the internet access points to collect network flow data. einstein 3-a is a new program. this groundbreaking technology uses classified and nonclassified information to block cyberespionage and attacks. e-3-a is painting a wider and overall picture of the cybersecurity threat landscape. enabling strong correlation of events and the ability to provide early warning and greater context about emerging risk. cutting edge programs such as einstein can serve as a groundbreaking tool to stop criminals and nation states from harming the american public and government. i urge my colleagues to support codifying the e-3-a program and vote in favor of this amendment. mr. mccaul: if the gentleman will yield? mr. hurd: yes. mr. mccaul: i thank the gentleman. i support this amendment which would authorize and codify the
