Twinbrook hosts Bicycle Drive on Sat., June 11
The Rockville Bike Hub (RBH) will host a bicycle drive on Saturday, June 11, between 3 and 6 p.m., during the Bikes, Brews and Barbecue event outside Revolution Cycles at 5750 Fishers Lane adjacent to the Twinbrook Metro. All bikes will be accepted but the critical need is for bicycles for children in first through fifth grade. Adult bikes will be used for education and volunteer training or donated to Bikes for the World.
In partnership with the City of Rockville, the non-profit, RBH recently gave away more than 30 bicycles to local elementary school children as a reward for performing a small service project. "In general, a bike gives a child a sense of independence and freedom and the ability to broaden the area that they can explore in their neighborhoods," said Rockville Bike Hub Board President Steve Andruski. "Our hope is that, it turns into a lifelong activity and they become connected to the bicycling community."
In addition to collecting bikes, the Rockville Bike Hub will be Continue reading →
MoCo Beat Podcast Launched
Rockville residents Tom Moore and Dana Tofig recently launched MoCo Beat, a podcast about "the news, the politics, and the life of Montgomery County." Moore is an attorney with the Federal Elections Commission and recently concluded four years of service on the Rockville City Council. Tofig works in the research arm of the US Department of Education was formerly the Public Information Officer with Montgomery County Public Schools. Their first episode looks at the Rockville Pike Plan, the recently adopted Montgomery County budget, places to buy beer, and new restaurants in downtown Rockville. The first podcast is just short of 40 minutes and looks like it might be a weekly production.
With the demise of the Gazette newspaper and spartan coverage by the Washington Post, it is difficult to locate news about Rockville but here are the ones I know: Continue reading →
Rockville Pike Traffic Solutions Appear Confusing, but 252′ Width Seems Right
On Monday, May 9, the Rockville Mayor and Council will continue its worksession on "Rockville's Pike Neighborhood Plan." Along with building heights and pedestrian crossings, traffic congestion is a major controversy and the conversation has become terribly confusing: widening or narrowing the road, keeping or eliminating the access roads, extending adjacent roads, increasing Metro service, and incorporating bus rapid transit (BRT). Some of these solutions are beyond the control of the City (such as Metro service), some benefit one group versus another (such as businesses or nearby residents), and others are so expensive or far in the future that their feasibility is unclear (such as the BRT). What's become incredibly confusing are Continue reading →
Fine Art Festival Comes to Rockville Town Square
The Fourth Annual A-RTS at Rockville Town Square Fine Art Festival will bring together more than 160 artists who are creating the most exceptional art found in America today. A-RTS, a premier outdoor art festival, takes place Saturday, May 7, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday, May 8, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.
The jury-selected artists from across the U.S. will exhibit in an outdoor art gallery brought to life on the streets of Rockville Town Square. All participants were selected based on the creativity, innovation, and exquisite execution of their original works. A list of artists is available at http://www.a-rts.org.
These acclaimed artists represent the country's highest calibre of art in a wide range of media including ceramics, digital art, drawing, fiber, glass, graphics/printmaking, painting, photography, and sculpture, among others. Also highlighted are the wearable arts – from fashion to jewelry – perfect for last minute Mother's Day or graduation gifts.
According to A-RTS Festival Director Robin Markowitz, who also heads the Bethesda Row Arts Festival, A-RTS is a rare opportunity to meet outstanding artists and discover their work first-hand. "We've created an extraordinary and accessible show – one that has something for everyone – from college students to moms, whimsical collectors to fine art patrons."
New this year, visitors to A-RTS can sample creations of another kind – Maryland wines and distinctive craft beers – all served in commemorative glasses. Local food purveyors will offer artisanal foods from hand-made chocolates to olive oils. And, A-RTS starts and ends on a high note with live music from bands including the popular 19th Street Band.
A-RTS will take place rain or shine. Sponsors include Bethesda Magazine, Rockville Town Square, Federal Realty Investment Trust, and Cambria Hotel & Suites Rockville.
Rockville Town Square, located in downtown Rockville between Hungerford (#355), Middle, Washington, and Beall streets, is within easy walking distance of the Rockville Metro Station. Parking is available at numerous garages located around the Festival site.
More information about A-RTS is available at http://www-a-rts.org or by visiting A-RTS on Facebook. More information about Rockville Town Square, one of the area's most popular destinations for shopping and dining, is available at http://rockvilletownsquare.com.
Opposition to Carver Bus Depot Grows
The effort to stop the creation of a school bus depot at the Carver Center in Rockville continues to grow with community meetings, presentations at City Council meetings, collecting more than 1,700 signatures on petitions, and hiring an attorney. Montgomery County Public Schools wants to consolidate several bus depots around the county that provide parking, equipment storage, and maintenance for school busses to one central location in Rockville. It doesn't make sense considering the size of the county—should 100+ busses come and go from Rockville to transport students in Poolesville and Silver Spring?
If you'd like to learn more:
- Visit the Carver Coalition web site at CarverCoalition.org
- Attend the Community Meeting on the plans for the depot hosted by Montgomery County Public Schools on Wednesday, May 11 at 7:30 pm at College Gardens Elementary School
- Attend the Carver Coalition meeting on Tuesday, May 17 at 7:00 pm at the Rockville Unitarian Universalist Church at 100 Welsh Park Drive.
- Read the latest flyer from the Carver Coalition.
There's a bigger issue that continues to gnaw at me, however. MCPS is one of the largest school districts in the country with a billion-dollar budget. It's considered one of the best in the nation by U.S. News and World Report, but does that mean it's also well governed? The school board seems to be continually tone-deaf when it comes to local issues, such as the bus depot, and the County Council seems to be unable to have any influence, despite being the major funder. Is it time to split the school district into manageable parts and have more local control?
Rockville Violated Open Meeting Law, Says State Board
The Open Meetings Compliance Board for the State of Maryland has determined that the City of Rockville violated the Open Meetings Act, according to a seven-page opinion issued today to Lois Neuman, Chair of the Board of Supervisors of Elections in the City of Rockville:
We have concluded that the [Mayor and] Council and the Elections Board did not timely adopt meeting minutes for meetings in 2015, and we have noted that the City will be adding staff to enable these public bodies to do that more quickly. We have also concluded that the Elections Board's practice of providing notice through its agendas did not always convey the required information reasonably in advance of each meeting.
All "public bodies" in Maryland, which includes most state, county, city, school, and other boards and commissions, should "hold their meetings in public, to give the public adequate notice of those meetings, and to allow the public to inspect meetings minutes" in order to "increase the public's faith in government, ensure the accountability of government to the public, and enhance the public's ability to participate effectively in our democracy."
I've noted the inconsistency of minutes for city boards and commissions previously and it's received attention at times by the City, but with the truly awful delays with the Board of Supervisors of Elections during an election year in 2015 (by the end of the year, missing minutes stretched back to March), I felt I needed to Continue reading →
Is Rockville Moving Towards or Away from Transparency?
This week the City of Rockville responsed to my complaint that the City held nearly two dozen meetings last year without documenting their decisions and sharing them with the public. Among my complaints was that the Board of Supervisors of Elections failed to post minutes on a regular basis since March 11, 2015 and the Mayor and Council failed to post minutes of a closed Executive Session on January 25, 2015.
The City approved most of the missing minutes last week, which meant that it's taken more than a year to provide minutes for some meetings. (If you watched the March 21 Council meeting, you probably didn't notice it because it was part of the Consent Agenda and approved with no discussion.) That's probably unacceptable under Maryland's Open Meetings Act, which requires that minutes be provided "as soon as practicable." The issue is now in the hands of Open Meetings Compliance Board, who is expected to announce their opinion next month. Although the Board doesn't have the ability to compel the City to follow the law, it is incredibly embarrassing because it publicly and independently confirms that the City isn't meeting openly and transparently, which is the basis for a genuine democracy.
The City says it wasn't able to prepare the minutes because the City Clerk's office prepares the minutes for both the Mayor and Council and the Board of Supervisors of Elections and "the City Clerk's Office has been extremely short staffed." That begs the question, so why was the City Clerk's office short staffed? It's because Continue reading →
Hometown Holidays on Memorial Day Weekend Features 30 groups across 6 Blocks
More than 30 groups will take to four stages across six city blocks in Rockville Town Center for the city's Hometown Holidays Music Fest on Saturday, May 28 and Sunday, May 29, 2016.

Additional acts include rock band Radio Birds, reggae favorite Jah Works, the roots rock of The Alternate Routes, and the U.S. Navy Band Country Current, playing country and bluegrass. Find a full schedule of performances at www.rockvillemd.gov/hometownholidays.
The festival is just a five-minute walk from the Rockville Metro station. Festival-goers who drive or bike will find parking in the City Hall lots, Montgomery County Council office building garage on Fleet Street and the Metro station lots.
Learn more at http://www.rockvillemd.gov/hometownholidays or at "City of Rockville Hometown Holidays" on Facebook.
State Compliance Board Investigating City Meeting Records
The Open Meetings Compliance Board of the State of Maryland is investigating Rockville's Board of Supervisors of Elections (BOSE) for failing to maintain its meeting records in accordance with state law. BOSE is a five-member body appointed by the mayor with the approval of the council and charged with the conduct of all City elections, the registration of voters and the keeping of records in connection with these functions. The state's Open Meetings Act requires that all city boards and commissions provide either written minutes or a video recording of their meetings so that the public is aware of their actions and decisions.
Other city boards and commissions have had a spotty record over the past few years, but BOSE is exceptional. BOSE did not maintain records for nearly half of its meetings last year, with missing minutes stretching back to March 12, 2015 and no minutes available after October 21, which was the most intense and competitive period of the last Mayor and Council election.
BOSE has until mid-March to provide a written response to the Compliance Board, at which point they will render an opinion. I'm not sure how BOSE will be able to review and approve so many minutes by the deadline, but even if they do, it suggests that the Supervisors of Elections need supervision as well. If you're concerned, please let the Mayor and Council know at firstname.lastname@example.com.
What is Senator Kagan Doing in Annapolis?
The Maryland General Assembly is about halfway through its 90-day annual grind through more than 2,500 pieces of legislation along with the State's budgets. State Senator Cheryl Kagan provides a regular email that lists her current activities, but it's incomplete because so much is happening. To see the entire picture, you have to visit the General Assembly website to discover that she's shepherding 78 bills, 10 of which she is sponsoring and 67 she is co-sponsoring. As a sponsor of a bill, she's the one who introduced the legislation. Sen. Kagan is the primary sponsor of the following bills but note that they are subject to numerous revisions in the legislative process (so what you read here may change):
SB0001: Health Insurance – In Vitro Fertilization – Use of Spouse's Sperm – Exception. This bill alters the required conditions for health insurance coverage of in vitro fertilization (IVF) by creating an exception to the required use of the spouse's sperm. For a patient whose spouse is of the opposite sex, the patient's eggs must be fertilized with the spouse's sperm, unless (1) the spouse is unable to produce and deliver sperm and (2) the inability does not
result from a vasectomy or other method of voluntary sterilization. According to the Department of Budget and Management, State plan expenditures increase by an estimated $216,310 in fiscal 2017, or approximately 0.025% of annual State plan spending. The State plan currently covers IVF. Expenditures reflect increased utilization of IVF and medical claims associated with the resulting pregnancies.
SB0028: State Government – Web Sites – Language Access. This bill requires specified State departments, agencies, and programs to take reasonable steps, beginning October 1, 2016, to operate and maintain, for Continue reading →

Young Barnstead man dies in Wednesday car crash
BARNSTEAD — A 20-year-old local man died Wednesday night in a single-car accident on South Barnstead Road (Rte. 126) near Hannah Nutter Road.
The man, who is not being identified until members of his extended family can be notified, was the only person in the car.
Police said the car appears to have left the road and stuck a utility pole causing major damage to the driver's side of the car.
He was extricated by Barnstead Fire Rescue and taken to Concord Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Police continue to investigate and believe speed and alcohol were factors.
Rte. 126 remained closed to all non-emergency traffic through early yesterday while power crews replaced the transformer and pole.

What could prevent this? It seems my script does not scale very well.

statusCode, and
headers, what is causing the key with a

EDIT: Bug is found. Answer below.

A fortune on DSLReports.com. This old is ant is ready for that good forever rest even though recent rests sucked like today's overnight ~5.75 (couldn't sleep more) hours sleep and a couple hours nap.
Crazy weather.Submitted by ant on Thu, 02/04/2016 - 5:10pm.
A few days ago, it was very cold (down to under 40F degrees). Next week be almost 90F degrees! Too crazy of the change. Where's the predicted intense El Niño's rain? :/

It seems like every time this insect get an afro cut, it is cold and wet like the last couple months and maybe again for the end of this month (already?) too. :(
What a crazy Sunday so far.Submitted by ant on Sun, 01/31/2016 - 3:26pm.
This ant got wet from the predicted crazy El Niño rain outside (got pants, shoes, and socks all wet) when going to church (meh at the old guy's sermon even though many old people liked it), a fish store (why more goldfishes parents?), two/2 Italian restaurants ((fir/1)st was BUSY with a 45 minutes wait [frak that]. It was so cold, wet, etc. :( Will this ant get sick again? Ant should had stayed home in the nest instead! :P

Also, it didn't help that this old tired insect passed out to nap for almost a couple hours after work and before dinner. Ant needs a time machine or be able to freeze time.

Even though this worker ant wanted to work today due to lots of work and the quarter contract ending in about five/5 days (exactly a year since being let go from the previous employer) and waiting to be renewed, both bosses said not to work and get paid due to the American's Martin Luther King, Junior's birthday (a week after Ant's) holiday.

My doctor is fine with me flying, it's only a 45 minute flight, but she said everyone reacts differently to the change in altitude. Has anyone else traveled to a higher altitude while pregnant? Did you have any reactions or sickness? It's a 4 day trip and I have until 60 days before to cancel, looking for some feedback.

WALTHAM -- Celtics coach Doc Rivers said Friday afternoon after practice that he understands his players will be motivated to play the Heat and the Heat and Ray Allen will likely be motivated to play Boston in the season opener Tuesday night in Miami.
"I don't mind that," Rivers said. "I don't think it's Ray, honestly. I've said it before. There may be several guys who want to play against and Ray may want to play against several guys. This is not going to be a 'Ray-versus-the-Celtics' game. If it becomes that, we're going to lose by a lot of points because as good as Ray is, I know of two guys for sure, probably three guys on that team that are a lot better on that team. If we're focused on Ray, we're going to lose by 40."
Kevin Garnett is one of the players Rivers realizes will be focused, as Garnett made a point early in training camp of telling everyone that he had deleted his number from his phone when Ray rejected the Celtics offer and went to Miami to join forces with the champion Heat, led by LeBron James and Dwyane Wade.
Rivers said he's also not using last year's loss in seven games to the Heat in the Eastern finals as the ultimate motivation for one game.
"Honestly, it'll be nice to win because we'll be 1-0," Rivers said. "But honestly for me, it goes no further than that."

2016 Community Leadership Awards Sponsors
"Being recognized by Invest in Others brought awareness to my cause and let people know I was in it for all the right reasons. If you're an advisor already doing great work, then this recognition is hands down the best one you can get."
— Andy Seth, LotusGroup Advisors
For Michael Skrynecki, winner of the first-ever Invest in Others Catalyst Award in 2014, helping others was never about recognition. "None of us who are nominated for what we do, do it for the accolades," said Michael. "Recognition was never the primary motivation for me."

This year is our 10th anniversary, a milestone for us as we reflect on our impact over the last ten years.

Relationship, marriage classes can help families, especially low-income families — if they know about them
Marriage and relationship classes are a promising public policy tool to strengthen families, particularly those that are disadvantaged or otherwise vulnerable. But they are not an option that is well-known and not everyone can access them, according to researchers from BYU and the National Healthy Marriage Resource Center.
Such education efforts help individuals form healthy relationships and bolster existing marriages, said Alan J. Hawkins, professor of Family Life at Brigham Young University, who co-wrote a report on the subject with Theodora Ooms, a couples and marriage policy consultant with the national center. Developing skills like aligning expectations, understanding what a healthy relationship is, and learning basic relationship skills are believed to especially help those who have had little exposure to what a healthy, long-lasting marriage is, he noted.
Their article is part of the State of Our Unions 2012 annual report released in mid-December by the National Marriage Project and the Institute for American Values.
Marriage in "upheaval"
Marriage as an institution has been in a state of "upheaval," Ooms said, prompted in part by shifts in both sexual mores and in gender roles, such as changes wrought when women began entering the work force in large numbers. And marriage has lost significant ground in terms of numbers, with more people choosing to forgo it or to live together instead of marrying, although research consistently shows marriage to be the most stable state for families.
"It seems logical people should prepare for relationships and find out what we know about this and how we can make relationships work better," Ooms said. "We prepare for child birth and driver's education."
Education on relationships is not a new concept; starting in the late 1990s, a few states put money into healthy marriage and relationship education programs and other services designed to bolster families, reduce divorce, raise families out of poverty and make life better for children. Even before that, churches were a major provider of such education classes across the country, Hawkins said, traditionally targeting couples about to wed. Some denominations, such as the Catholic Church, require education classes to marry a couple within the auspices of the church. Increasingly, though, such classes are being offered in other settings and sometimes target individuals who are not even yet in a relationship, such as high school or college students or single parents or those who are incarcerated.
The Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 included the Healthy Marriage and Responsible Fatherhood Act, offering $150 million a year for five years in the form of grants to community groups to set up demonstration projects on relationship education. In 2011, the money was renewed for three more years.
Still, efforts don't always reach those who would most benefit from them, Ooms and Hawkins said.
Poverty and Marriage
"The problem for many, particularly the less-educated, lower-income couples, is they are less likely to be connected to a college or university and less likely to be connected to a local congregation. Many of these classes are done through community service agencies that are already helping the poor through the other needs they have going on. They are adding them to their portfolio of services," Hawkins said.
Class offerings vary, but they typically provide relationship skills, including positive communication skills and more effective problem solving. The other common piece, said Hawkins, is dealing with and meshing expectations. "Those are often kind of misaligned," he said, "and people have a tendency these days to slide into relationships rather than slow down and find out more about each other."

I don't think we need a DM - the back of our midfield can be held up by Palacios, Hudd, King if necessary... I'm sure some others too, that's off the top of my head. Don't particularly want an ex-goon, but I'd probably get over it fairly quickly and I imagine that'd be general reaction.

Good step from Himachal Pradesh tourism department to rescue people from certain incidents that happen usually due to traffic jams and untrained drivers.
Non Himachal registered cars have been banned to travel to Rohtang Pass. Reacting to massive traffic jams and numerous accidents on the Manali – Rohtang Pass route, the district administration of Kullu banned movement of all private and tourist vehicles registered outside of Himachal Pradesh on this route.
All such vehicles have been banned to ply beyond Kothi which is at a distance of 15 km from Manali.
Deputy Commissioner Kullu BM Nanta said the decision has been taken after looking at the increased number of accidents in the hilly region, as drivers are not well trained.
He further said the decision that all the vehicles registered other than Himachal Pradesh will not be allowed to go beyond Kothi village and we are trying that those tourists are ferried through the vehicles registered in Himachal Pradesh because the drivers who come from other states are not much trained to drive in hilly region, which leads to accidents.
Now tourists coming through private and tourist vehicles registered outside Himachal Pradesh will have to hire Himachal registered taxis to go till Rohtang Pass as Himachal drivers are considered more proficient in hill driving than those from the plains.
The new regulation means that vehicles traveling to Leh and Kaza will now have to apply for a permit at the SDM office in Manali failing which a penalty will be imposed.
Movement of trucks have been banned on Rohtang Pass between 6 am to 6 pm.
As earlier, entire traffic to Rohtang Pass will remain closed on every Tuesday. All vehicles including Himachal vehicles are not allowed to go to Rohtang Pass on Tuesdays.

Good step from Himachal Pradesh tourism department to rescue people from certain incidents that happen usually due to traffic jams and untrained drivers.
Absolutely right Mellisa, You have a point. They cannot generalise that all the drivers from the plains are ineffcient to drive in hills. This is pethetic and illogical.
But this is also true that most of the roudy people are from Punjab, Haryana and Delhi (or a few more states which i am missing) and these people are a curse to the roads. I have seen people driving in Delhi and you feel like spitting on their faces because of their wrong, lathargic ,rough, rash and illtrained driving also leads to massive traffic jams specially at bottlenecks and accidents.
Driving in Delhi is like u ill feel guilty of taking out ur car even if u have an unavoidable work to do.Many people in Delhi specailly are just into showoff and driving when they have no other work to do. There is so much missmanagement in Delhi and the one who is the most patient driver in the hills where even roads are not good will be abusing on Delhi roads. Basically it a fucking CHOOTIYA capital of India with a ditch of problems.
So, even if Himachal Government has stopped these shits from Delhi and other regions to visit a place which is very critical in terms of traffic and envirnment.
I think Himachali drivers are not good drivers in the plains of Chandigarh, Punjab, Harayana, Delhi or rest of the India. I am sure that most of them will fail in the driving test conducted by the Chandigarh Traffic Police. They do not have lanes in Himachal so not expert in lane driving, which can lead to accidents.
All the drivers whose vehicle is register in Himachal Pradesh or own a Himachal state driving license should be banned in the rest of the India, in the circumstance, as decided by the Himachal Pradesh Government.
This is discrimination. I don't think that it is legal according to the constitution of India.
As far as i know himachal pradesh, 60% driver's in himachal pradesh drive after consuming multiple drugs. I mean they take afeem & then whisky & then gaanja. After having all these they drive. If himachal govt. conduct a test then i m 100% sure that 60% drivers will be disqualified. Also when himachali drivers either private or taxi when they see the number plate bearing other states number they show themselves that thay are the best & start misbehaving. They never give paas to vehicles bearing other states number. This is my experience as for the past 14 years i have been visiting himachal frequently. My in-laws house is in nankheri-rampur- district shimla. I did'nt mean to hurt anybody sentiments.
Holiday Cottages over the years have become synonym to a perfect gateway for a refreshing and enjoyable holiday in Manali. The property initially started with 4 Cottages is now a 45 room Resort and has been suitably renamed as Holiday Cottages and Resort. The resort offers superb views of the snow clad mountains and the valley probably […]

This is my requirement. I have set of audio files(mp3, wav mostly). My app's interface will have a list of these sound names and a toggle ON/OFF switch for each of the sound item. On switching a sound ON it should start playing and vice versa. If more than one sound is ON then they should be played simultaneously. I can switch any sound ON/OFF while the sound is playing and it should switch off instantly.
What classes are best suggested for this behavior ? Do I need to mix the sounds etc or just instantiate multiple AVAudioPlayer instances ???
Please guide me in making an efficient app.

>> good afternoon, council, marc trotz, housing and urban health. thank you, raj for that sweet introduction and comments. i feel really happy i get to be here today. i've come to the council, i don't know, half a dozen times probably over the last 22 years that i've worked for the city so it's just great that the stars aligned in my last couple weeks i get to come back one more time to see you all and share what we're doing. i also want to just formally introduce you to margo antonetti, she's currently the director of housing and urban health and in a couple weeks will be the acting director. everything i'm going to describe today has really been a partnership as well with margo and raj and other people. i came to the department from the mayor's office in 1996 and
2:01 pm
margo was the first staff person we hired so it's really been a joint effort, 100 percent, really. so you are going to be in great hands with her. we did a powerpoint presentation to our health commission a couple days ago, so i brought that with me. i don't know what the protocol is for projecting it, but here's hard copies for you guys if anybody wants them. >> (inaudible). >> yeah, i planned to do that, this is just something for your record. so much of what raj was just talking about was very much true for san francisco, that many years ago when the supportive housing movement had just started and the idea that you would do housing with support services to help people stabilize in housing, people who have been homeless, people
2:02 pm
with disabilities, san francisco jumped on that. and we had been doing it for maybe half a dozen years or so, but i think we were, like many other places in the country, still in that old mold and still kind of fresh off the sheltering experience and so forth. and while we were saying we were doing homeless housing, we were, you know, weeding out and screening out the very folks that needed to get into housing. and so that's actually when sort of coincides with me coming over to the health department and colluding with the then-director, sandra sanchez, saying what do you think you're doing with your supportive housing. i don't see our people in the health department who are chronickly cycling through emergency care getting into this housing and that really got our gears thinking and sort of changed
2:03 pm
our headset on what we were trying to do and that's when we pulled together probably hundreds of stake holders, i still remember these meetings, it was very exciting, it was like what if we would do housing that's totally different from what we have in town now, what would it look like, who would get in and who would be ineligible. that's what we came up with and birthed direct access to housing, which is just our brand name for supportive housing in san francisco. we were like how do you do housing that you can actually let people in. so that's what we tried to do. and at that point, you know, the mainstream housing developers, the affordable housing producers which this town has many incredible affordable housing producers were well-known for as small a town as we are the number of
2:04 pm
good housing, affordable housing producers, they weren't at all convinced that having people who had been homeless for 10 and 15 years and who have 3 and 4 chronic health issues on top of it were appropriate for housing. so we took the step at that point of sort of putting them off to the side and saying, okay, this isn't going to work, you don't want to house this population and we master leased a bunch of buildings. that's really how we got our start, we master leased the very first building that we did, we still is, pacific bay inn, 84 units on jones street. we were able to fill up that building with this new target population in a couple months as opposed to 5 years sort of the process of developing new housing and convincing everybody that we could house the people we were aiming to house. and then we just went on a roll from there and leased 5 other hotels in the tenderloin,
2:05 pm
names that you probably know, have visited people in and so forth, the windsor hotel, the empress, the plaza -- not the plaza, that's not master leased -- the star, the camelot, and before we knew it we had 450 units of what's now known as housing first type housing. and it was all experiments and we i'm sure made many mistakes along the way, but we were very gratified that we were housing folks who had traditionally been not able to get housing. along the way we had some learning in terms of what it takes and what the support services really should be in the housing. and up until that point, really the notion was you just had a couple kind of case managers and everything would be okay. and that was an understandable, you know, beginning to supportive housing
2:06 pm
because it was a reaction against more institutional care so we didn't want to recreate skilled nursing facilities and so forth in the community, but as we got into it more and realized what we could also do additionally with more enhanced health care services on site, we really began to hit our stride more and really see how you could stabilize people in housing and so then we hooked up with dr. josh bamburger, the medical director of our section. we started introducing, you know, some nursing hours within the building so we could do medication adherence, so we could do wound care and so forth, then we layered on some psychiatric care in our buildings and then we opened up a clinic in the neighborhood that the residents of supportive housing have very easy access to. so that was kind of our journey. as we worked through this, the housing development community was beginning to see that actually in fact we can
2:07 pm
support people in community-based housing this way and we sort of reconnected with them and probably maybe 8 years ago we started doing these really fabulous new buildings, which is what we -- what people want, not the new, but the high quality housing. admittedly our master lease buildings aren't the most beautiful sites in the world and in some of them they don't have cooking facilities and don't have accessible bathrooms and so forth. they are important and we're housing 400 people in there who otherwise wouldn't have housing, but reconnecting back with the affordable housing community then allowed us it really do the kind of housing that i think is healing and helps people really relax and come home and start a life and cook and reunite with their family and so forth. so really in the last 8 or so
2:08 pm
years the buildings we've been focusing on are these studio units or one-bedroom unit apartment complexes that look and are as nice as market rate housing all over the city. some examples of that, our most recently opened building is the richardson apartments, which is right behind this building, i love the symbolism of that, we have 120 units of chronickly homeless housing, i don't like that label but it's what it is known as, but it's housing for people who have not had any stability for many years. while we got our start talking about housing for homeless people, that's not really our, you know, our slogan any more. it's really housing for people who have been homeless, who are in levels of care that they no longer need, aren't appropriate for them, aren't the best for them, are high utilizers of
2:09 pm
health care services and if they don't get housing, as the literature shows, will be dead in their 50's. that's what this housing is about. so the richardson apartments, if you haven't seen it, is that beautiful building, i think, if i'm oriented correctly, that has that big green, lime green column. inside it has this amazing court yard, it has tremendous accessibility and light and the units are beautiful. i'm just going to look at my chart for a second to give you an idea how many units we have. we have, like, 30-some odd sites now and with the richardson opening it's about 1300 units that we have added. now, not every building is 100 percent direct access to housing site. we have a lot of sites that are 100 units or a
2:10 pm
few sites, 100 units with 20 of the units being direct access to housing with the rest of the units being straight-on affordable housing, which is a very nice mix. 990 polk street up at 9th and geary, owned and operated by tndc is roughly 100 or 110 units with 50 or 60 -- and these are all seniors, people over 55, actually -- of them being daas. so you have formerly homeless seniors, people who have been in laguna honda living with other folks who may still qualify for affordable housing so have more means, but also have aging issues and other service needs that the building addresses. so when we do services in these buildings it's not just
2:11 pm
exclusively to direct access to housing tenants. the access points, just to give you an idea who gets in and where we are looking for people, access into direct access to housing is through acute and psychiatric hospital, long-term care, so laguna honda and other places, intensive case management programs that work in the community, our primary care clinics, our sobering and respite center and our fabulous street outreach program. one of our biggest clients and trusted partners. and, you know, the reason we do this and the health department is doing this is, one, because we think it's the right thing to do and we have spent so many dollars and so many years spinning our wheels with trying to help people
2:12 pm
recover, only to realize the obvious, that it's ludicrous to do it without housing. how does someone recover from chronic health issues in a shelter on the street. it's not even possible to any degree. and so that's sort of the, i think, the bottom line where the health department is interested in doing it. and there is a financial argument about this, too, that many people have made, many national researchers and so forth with made, and there's huge studies that come out of new york city and upenn and so forth that demonstrate over and over again it doesn't cost any more to house someone in supportive housing than to leave them homeless when you factor in the hospital care costs, the ambulance costs, the jail time costs and so forth. and those aren't easy things to just neatly unravel and get
2:13 pm
the jail to start giving us all their money and the hospital to start giving us all their money. it's not as simple as it sounds but when you do look at that, that is the fact that in many cases it doesn't cost any more to house someone decently in housing than to leave them homeless. and if you just look at what our average cost per month to house someone in supportive housing, it's about $1500, and that equals -- that's one month in supportive housing, or two days at san francisco general hospital inpatient, less than one day in the icu, 3 visits to the ed, and 5 days in residential drug treatment. and in many of these places, well in almost all of those, even when you do incur all those costs, the person is still homeless afterwards. it's not like, okay, we have them in icu for 3 days, we're all set, they have somewhere to
2:14 pm
go. so really what we see and what a lot of the effort of the health department is to tray to intervene in that, you know, really harmful to the client and expensive ricocheting through the system and never really landing anywhere. some of the other sites, it works better when you are showing them up on the screen but we're just going to have to visualize for a second here. in case you've seen them and wondered about them, these are more recent sites i'm pointing out like in 2010 the 149 mason street site, it's owned by glide, it's got that ceramic mural on it. 55 units, beautiful housing right on the edge of union square. so people come out of their apartments, hopefully they head that way towards union square versus the other way towards the tenderloin and they can sit and enjoy san francisco just
2:15 pm
like everybody else does. other, you know, sites that we're particularly proud of, edith whit senior community is a direct access to housing site right there on 9th and mission street. it's 107 units, 27 of them are direct access to housing. the reimagine coronet theater which is now housing on gary street, big housing complex, a proportion of those are direct access to housing. armstrong in bayview, it's 116 units, 23 of which are direct access to housing. and our blockbuster that's in the pipeline right now is the ymca at 220 golden gate. almost everybody in san francisco has
2:16 pm
done something in that building since the early 1900's. a lot is basketball, some is dropping people off at the children's center that was there forever, and so forth. and this is going to be by far the largest supportive housing that the city's ever done. it's also, i think, one of the most impressive and interesting buildings. it's going to be opening at the end of this year. it's a 6-year project, it's a 90 million dollar project so i think that says a little something about the city's commitment to supportive housing. it's going to be 172 studio units, fully accessible all throughout the building. it's going to have an 11,700 square foot health clinic, the department of public health health clinic on the ground floor. it has a full court gym on the fifth floor that we're
2:17 pm
keeping because physical activity and wellness and space to just be is at such a premium in the tenderloin, we didn't want to get rid of that. everyone thought we should cram more housing units into that space and we thought, no, we need this recreation space. so we have that. it has a 200-plus seat historic auditorium that the community can use. many people know that auditorium, wait till you see it again now that it's been restored back to its original historic look. it's quite something. and full complement of support services for the tenants who are living there. so the health clinic is a community health clinic and then it's also going to have the support services for the 172 residents up on the second floor around this kind of light court. it's really something. i
2:18 pm
think we're all really proud to have been a part of it. tndc is the owner with a lot of coordination and collaboration with the department of public health, the mayor's office of housing, tons of state and federal agencies are part of that mix. and really that, i think, is the direction, you know, we want to be going. you can't always come across a building of this scale but the building will be very alive, very vibrant, there's a lot of con gregant space where people can hang out and get coffee. a lot of this is about helping people not just get housing but have a life and have neighbors and friends and i think this building is going to provide a lot of that. it did have a pool, which i really wanted to keep, but we weren't able to in the ground
2:19 pm
floor. it's now this humongus space -- no, it's a preserved pool. some day the covering will be taken off and the art deco pool will be found, short of being able to keep it there as another recreational opportunity for the people in the building, we couldn't because of the earthquake issues and safety issues and so forth. it's now, it's just huge recreation -- multi purpose room. so you could probably have a meeting of 500 down there, you know, with av and all of this kind of stuff. so the whole thing i think will be quite a resource for the central city area. and that's what we're really up to.
2:20 pm
we've got about another four or five hundred units in the pipeline, including this really fantastic unit that will be springing up soon or starting to spring up in the new transbay area. the first building to come up in the area of the demolished transbay terminal and the housing area is a direct access to housing site, another 120-unit site, owned and operated by the agency that ownd richardson so it should look every bit as nice as richardson and the services should be every bit as good, and some other buildings sprinkled throughout. so that's what we're up to. i hope and i know that under margo's leadership and all of your advocacy that the city will continue to produce these types of sites. it's been a pleasure talking to you guys. >> thank you, marc, do we have any questions from the council?
2:21 pm
ken? >> while we're waiting for the council to weigh in if they have questions, one thing that you brought to mind that i had forgotten, just to let people know what an incredible facility richardson is, that was the one i had the pleasure of visiting, the architect for that were the same people who did the ed roberts campus. so you know these guys aren't skimping. the other thing was that, as someone who had adult life long issues with environmental concerns, to see that nobody had to tell them to do non-voc stuff, two years ago i didn't even know there was carpeting that didn't off gas and they have it in little squares so if there's a problem they don't have it reduce the whole carpet, they just replace the square. that's the kind of
2:22 pm
attention to hidden disabilities that i appreciate myself. >> harriet. >> hi, good afternoon, thank you, mr. marc trotz and dr. raj parekh. you said no id's were required. i'm wondering since the people are from different backgrounds, different history, different medical needs, how do you prevent harm to another client and would there be like a resident advisor in the same building or on the same floor and especially in these older units also would there be elevators and any type of security? >> well, we can answer from
2:23 pm
both of our perspectives. in the housing, all the sites have 24 hour desk clerking and especially in neighborhoods where we feel like the straet activity would require that. strangers can't come into the building. this is a person's home. when people get housing, permanent housing, raj was talking more specifically and he can elucidate more on the stablization rooms, but with the housing, people don't get into housing without providing some documentation and a application process because we have to be sure it's going to work and it's a community building process. we're not taking this information to screen people out, it's more to understand where they are coming from and making sure they will be okay in the housing, but people don't get into permanent housing without some level of knowing who they
2:24 pm
are and so forth. >> and in the stablization rooms, again, we want to make it as low threshold as possible to get people off the streets. but the kind of supports you have to provide also go up with regard to that. so, for example, everyone in a stablization room must agree to access the stablization room to agree to have case management as part of it. so it's not simply a room that you get and no strings attached, you have to agree to participate in our case management program and that generally means meeting with your case manager once a week whether it's in the room, whether it's in our office, whether it's in a cafe somewhere, wherever it's convenient and appropriate. on top of that we also have room monitors that by design are other case managers so there is a cross check. so these rooms are things that you don't have tenancy rights to, they are like treatment spaces. so our room monitors will go once a week and check these
2:25 pm
rooms, 1, it make sure the condition of the room is okay and if the person happens to be there, that the person is okay. but the person is really the responsibility of the case manager and the room is the responsibility of the room monitor. on top of all this, we have connections, we maintain good relations with the hotel owners and the hotel managers because they are taking on a bit of risk having us bring in people that they have not cleared. so whenever there are difficulties, issues that arise, we know that we need to support them with respect to possibly moving that individual to another room, to another hotel, and since we have 8 hotels we have some luxury to do that. secondly, that person may need to perhaps be in a shelter bed for a little while, while there's 24/7 staff coverage there, to help them with whatever issue is going on. so it's a very flexible program and we provide a lot of support.
2:26 pm
and because people don't have tendency rights to those rooms, people sign agreements saying we will observe hotel rooms otherwise we will be asked to leave. it does come to that, but sometimes. we try to make provisions for them to go to a shelter situation or possibly another hotel. we try our best it keep people in as safe a situation as we can but obviously there is no perfect situation. if there is assaultive behavior we have to ask people to leave. there are times we have had to use san francisco police department for emergencies. in 8 years we have had thousands of these rooms we have had to involve the police officers 5 or 6 times, literally. people are very grateful to be in these rooms, people are very happy we are providing the support we are providing. people tend to be on their best behavior. in fact, sometimes if people have
2:27 pm
a history of eviction this is a way they can demonstrate i can do well in this environment. we get letters from hotel management says, no, no, this person did well, they were perfectly fine. we use that as a way to get people back in permanent housing. but we want to keep the threshold as low as possible to help people who have been on the streets sometimes for years to get into housing. >> (inaudible). >> denise, you had a xwe. >> i will thank you both for being here. i was curious, i want to hear from the client perspective, what kind of feedback do you get from your clients that go through this program? >> i guess we can address it both ways. >> yes, whoever, thank you. >> for the stablization program overwhelmingly it's a positive response. people are happy to have a room that, we
2:28 pm
ask paepl to save up money but they don't have it pay for the room. there are complaints, there are complaints about bedbugs, there are complaints about people in the space using drugs and alcohol. these are private hotels and we don't have control over every single unit in the hotel. there are people that come into the hotel to sell drugs. this is a reality in the area we're talking about. there are neighbors that are using and it's tempting it use with them. we don't have as much control over the situation as we would like, but at the same time if you want to expert more control then you have to have a higher bar. so it's a dynamic that we struggle with all the time. but by and large, over 95, 97 percent of people are extremely happy to have a space that they can actually, they get a key, they can lock the door, they can have a place that's private for them and a place where they can store their belongings and
2:29 pm
just feel safer. overwhelmingly it's a positive response but by no means is it perfect. >> i would say for the permanent housing, you know, 97 percent or 98 percent of the people are extremely happy and i mean we have a much easier environment than what raj is dealing with in the sense that we have our support services on site, we have 24 hour desk clerking, we run the show. and so, you know, certainly issues come up and people become dissatisfied and want to laefrb or want to move and so forth, but i'd say the norm is that people become tearful and kind of a little overwhelmed when they are moving into a place like the richardson and what that says about who they are and that they do deserve a place to live like this that doesn't smell, that is light, that is clean, and in most cases it's, you know, b

Public-Private Policy Partnerships / Edition 1by Pauline Vaillancourt Rosenau, Pauline Vaillancourt Rosenau
View All Available Formats & Editions
Pub. Date: 05/30/2000
Publisher: MIT Press
Partnerships between the public and private sectors to fulfill public functions are on the increase at every level of government. In the United States and
Canada they currently operate in most policy areas, and in the U.S. trial programs are planned by the Internal Revenue Service, the Census Bureau, and the Social
Security Administration.Partnerships
Partnerships between the public and private sectors to fulfill public functions are on the increase at every level of government. In the United States and
Canada they currently operate in most policy areas, and in the U.S. trial programs are planned by the Internal Revenue Service, the Census Bureau, and the Social
Security Administration.Partnerships represent the second generation of efforts to bring competitive market discipline to bear on government operations. Unlike the first generation of privatizing efforts, partnering involves sharing both responsibility and financial risk. In the best situations, the strengths of each sector maximize overall performance. In these cases, partnering institutionalizes collaborative arrangements in which the differences between the sectors become blurred.This is the first book to evaluate public-private partnerships in a broad range of policy areas. The chapters focus on education, health care and health policy, welfare, prisons, the criminal justice system, environmental policy, energy policy, technology research and development, and transportation. The contributors come from a number of fields, including political science, education, law,
economics, and public health. They merge experiential and social-scientific findings to examine how partnerships perform, to identify the conditions in which they work best, and to determine when they might be expected to fail.Contributors : Ronald J.
