b) Due to rainy weather, there are still reports coming in of leakage problems from all three facilities: Southeast Community, Martin Luther King and EP Mills Childcare Centers. DPW is in the process of patching roofs and repairing gutters. We are still working closely with DPW to resolve these matters, which has substantially impacted our budget.

c) Mr. Leamon Abrams will be the new Community Liaison to Southeast Community Facility. Mr. Abrams will make himself available to SECF anytime he is needed.

d) As requested by the Commission, Mr. Jim Jefferson will present to SECFC on January 22, 2003 regarding the History of Southeast. We will also be inviting back as guests Ms. Expanola Jackson, Ms. Shirley Jones, and Mr. Bill Keaney. Additionally, we will again extend an invitation to City Attorney John Roddy, who is also knowledgeable on this subject. All of these individuals are aware of what transpired during the time in question and will be able to provide more information.

_ FYI: Effective immediately, SFPD has just issued a new ruling requiring all city-owned facilities to possess an Entertainment Permit for ALL social events. The cost of the permit is approximately $1,400. Once all paperwork has been completed, we will bring it to your attention so that we can go through the Facilities Committee for final approval. In the mean time, we are trying to determine if we can secure a temporary permit. We will keep you informed.

_ We have had a staffing change. Our "as-need" temporary clerk typist is no longer with us. Her last day of work was today, 1/9/03. We will begin the process of interviewing for a replacement in the near future. However, the next person hired for this position will be full-time and permanent, as the hiring freeze has been lifted.


Commissioner Hardin asked with regard to the roofing problems at EP Mills, are these repetitive repairs that are needed? Dr. Moses explained that MOCD wrote grants for several non-profit organizations and EP Mills was the recipient of one of those grants. As a result of that grant, EP Mills hired their own contractor to replace the roof. We are now in the process of trying to locate the contractor through MOCD's project manager to determine if any warranty exists. Once we determine that, will be able to move forward. In the mean time, we still must do whatever is necessary to repair said leaks. We will keep you updated on our progress.

Henceforth, we will insist from MOCD and any other organizations that SECF be kept in the loop when hiring contractors to work on Southeast facilities.

Commission Looper moved and Commissioner Brown seconded to accept the Director's report. Motion passed unanimously to accept report as presented.
