Provide an update to the commission regarding the status of the Municipal Services Building.(Devin Stenhouse,DEI
Officer)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended the commission be updated on the status of the Municipal Services Building.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The Municipal Services Building (MSB)closed to the public in late 2023 just before the opening of the Library |Parks
and Recreation (LPR)Building on October 28,2023.Prior to the opening of the LPR,the MSB had been primarily
utilized as the recreation division’s headquarters along with multiple meeting spaces,events,classes,and recreational
uses.This was also home to the SSF Police Department prior to the opening of the new Police Station in 2022.The LPR
was constructed to offer the same amenities as the MSB with up-to-date technological features,larger spaces,enhances
amenities, and the new location for the library (formerly W. Orange Library).
For several months,if not a year or two,prior to the opening of the LPR,there had been a lot of community concern
about what will happen to the MSB after the opening of the LPR.There have been a lot of rumors that have circulated
including:the space will be sold for low-income housing,the building will be demolished and rebuilt for a fire station,
and it is privately being leased to the LPR’s contractors for their private use (to name a few).There are no definite or
probable foreseeable plans for the MSB.
There have been organized,community efforts from residents who are advocating for the MSB to not be sold for low-
income housing and instead,be kept and maintained for a second senior center to be operated by the recreation
department.Community members have consistently advocated for this cause on a regular basis at city council meetings
for several months.At the March 13 city council meeting,Mayor James Coleman acknowledged the need for a
community forum (or similar)so city leaders can hear from community members to answer their questions,hear their
concerns,and take note of how they would prefer the city utilize the MSB.The commission will be informed as the
development of this potential meeting (or series of meetings) continues.
CONCLUSION
There are no definite or probable foreseeable plans for the MSB, however, future discussions between City officials and
community members will be planned in the future.

CALL TO ORDER

AGENDA REVIEW
There are no changes to the agenda.
ITEMS FROM STAFF MEMBERS
1. Presenta�on from Esri GIS so�ware provider (Mike Brown, Esri)
Engineer Brown gave a brief introduc�on to what Esri is. He presented and demonstrated how
the so�ware can be used to help advance equity. He showed how the tools can be used to
display demographic data on a map. In one example, the map showed concentrated areas of
where seniors who do not speak English well are located. In another example, the map showed
where children aged 0 to 4 living below the poverty line resided. Engineer Brown showed
samples of graphs from LA County.
Ques�ons
Vice Chair Perez: Can you analyze in real �me?
22
• Engineer Brown: Yes. It depends on how your metrics are set up.
Officer Stenhouse: How user friendly is this so�ware?
• Engineer Brown: There is a learning curve for configuring, but there is GIS staff in the
City. Esri can help configure if there are no GIS staff. There are templates.
• Officer Stenhouse: The City has a GIS analyst (Jus�n Anderson).
• Manager Gonzalez: The so�ware is included in the licensing that the City has. Most
customers only require Esri to help organize and configure. You can see the results and
progress over �me.
Commissioner Sanders: Is this available to us?
• Officer Stenhouse: This is to show you the capabili�es. If the Commission is interested in
specific data, this technology is there.
Commissioner Yee: What is the dataset?
• Engineer Brown: Data from Esri customers. Demographic data from Census. USGS and
Census are Esri customers and make their data public.
Commissioner Yee: Any AI driven capabili�es?
• Engineer Brown: “Business Analyst Assistant” can curate data.
• Manager Gonzalez: Neighboring ci�es are leveraging data from PD also.
• Engineer Brown: Our teams manage crime analysis tools and police transparency
solu�ons.
Officer Stenhouse thanks Esri for the presenta�on.
• Engineer Brown: We’d love to stay involved.
2. Presenta�on from SSF Youth Enrichment Services and Early Learning Program Supervisors
(Kimberly Morrison, YES Supervisor & Diana Gonzalez, ELP Supervisor)
Officer Stenhouse gives an introduc�on to the child care programs.
Supervisor Gonzalez hands out preschool brochures and gives an introduc�on to the preschool
programs. They are licensed. She explains that the wai�ng list is 3-4 years. There is a huge
demand. The programs are for ages 2-5. There is a one-�me fee to be placed on the waitlist for
mul�ple sites. Applicants are listed in order as they come in. Low fees and mul�ple schedules
(allowing flexibility) explain the high demand.
Supervisor Gonzalez talks about the grant-funded program, Litle Steps, which is funded by San
Mateo County’s the Big Li�. There is a sliding scale based on income and family size. There are
more age and schedule restric�ons with this program.
23
Supervisor Gonzalez has been involved with the preschool program in the City for about 30
years.
There are no closures over spring break or summer. The only break is winter break.
Currently enrolled preschool families have priority in ge�ng into a�er school programs.
Ques�ons
Vice Chair Perez: How many staff members are at each site? What are the cer�fica�on
requirements?
• Supervisor Gonzalez: There are 8 preschool teachers between the 3 sites (Siebecker has
3 full-�me, Westborough has 3 full-�me, and Litle Steps has 2 full-�me) and part �me
staff. We are licensed, which means we have to meet the 1:12 ra�o. For qualifica�ons,
course studies in early childhood educa�on, 4 core courses. A lot of part-�me staff are
qualified.
Commissioner Delgadillo: I’m interested in parents’ educa�on. Social services requiring parents
to do paren�ng educa�on. Any associa�on with Peninsula Family Services?
• Supervisor Gonzalez: No. Parents come to us with comments and concerns. We have
daily discussions and lots of informa�on and resources.
Commissioner Cansino: Is the wai�ng list public?
• Supervisor Gonzalez indicates that the list is not public. She explains her color-coding
method. Supervisor Gonzalez goes through the process once an applicant has been
selected. There is a virtual orienta�on to review the handbook, policies, and procedures.
There is paperwork to be completed. She encourages families to visit the sites, and
anyone can schedule tours.
Commissioner Cansino: Are there emergency spots?
• Supervisor Gonzalez: We have worked with agencies on foster care and adop�ons case
by case.
Commissioner Cansino: How do you verify people’s income?
• Supervisor Gonzalez: San Mateo County does not require us to collect any informa�on
from families, but we remind them if the County asks or is audited, families have to
provide the paperwork.
Commissioner Cansino: Is transporta�on available?
• Supervisor Gonzalez: No.
Commissioner Cansino: Are there any scholarships?
• Supervisor Gonzalez: Case by case.
24
Commissioner Cansino: Fundraising?
• Supervisor Gonzalez: We don’t generally do fundraising very o�en.
• Officer Stenhouse: Friends of Parks and Recrea�on, a nonprofit group, fundraises for
recrea�on programs in general. Preschool and Youth Enrichment Services fall under that
umbrella.
• Commissioner Cansino: People can donate to the school?
• Supervisor Gonzalez: Sure.
Commissioner Cansino: Any talks of expanding beyond preschools?
• Supervisor Gonzalez: Yes. That’s why the City adopted the Child Care Master Plan.
• Officer Stenhouse: The Child Care Master Plan can be a presenta�on by itself. It’s a thick
plan. It can be a series of presenta�ons.
Commissioner Cansino: If there is a family in crisis, who do you use?
• Supervisor Gonzalez: I reach out to San Mateo County for resources. The Big Li�, we
have internal people. Star Vista.
Commissioner Bedigian: You accept both residents and non-residents. Do you have a rough
es�mate of how many residents vs. non-residents you have?
• Supervisor Gonzalez: There aren’t many non-residents.
• Commissioner Bedigian: And do South City residents have priority?
• Supervisor Gonzalez: There is no priority. It’s first come first serve.
Commissioner Sanders: How large is the waitlist?
• Supervisor Gonzalez: We have roughly 400 students on the waitlist right now, but a lot of
them aren’t born yet, aren’t poty trained, or aren’t 2 ½ (minimum age).
• Commissioner Yee: What are the viable, actual eligible?
• Supervisor Gonzalez: I don’t know the actual number because poty training informa�on
is not required for the waitlist.
Commissioner Sanders: What is the expansion?
• Supervisor Gonzalez: Not sure if the district will expand Transi�onal Kindergarten (TK),
which would help provide more space to 4-year-olds.
Commissioner Bedigian: If the waitlist is 3-4 years, and many are not born yet, are there 2 ½-
year-olds who are poty-trained ge�ng in?
• Supervisor Gonzalez: Mostly 3 and up.
Commissioner Yee: I think it is important to have informa�on public. We don’t need to have
personal informa�on, but it would be helpful for the public to know the scope and the
25
opportunity. Who are we taking care of (resident vs. non-resident)? More details and
transparency would be very helpful to garner support.
• Supervisor Gonzalez: It is hard to gauge based on the size of the list how many will
actually be enrolled. Some may not be poty- trained, some may have moved, and some
may not be interested any more.
Commissioner Yee voices concern over the lack of priority when it comes to residents vs. non-
residents. The cost difference is nominal. He asks, “Is first come first serve fair?”
• Supervisor Gonzalez: Only for the Big Li� Program (Litle Steps) we ask for income
because it is grant-funded. Residents are based on school district boundaries.
• Officer Stenhouse gives examples of a few schools that are part of the South San
Francisco Unified School District but located in neighboring ci�es. There are students
who are not South San Francisco residents but qualify as residents for the preschool
program.
Commissioner Delgadillo leaves the mee�ng at 7:01 p.m.
Commissioner Sanders: Is there a reason for the designa�on between resident and non-
resident?
• Supervisor Morrison: Non-resident would be people who don’t fall into that (previously
described) category.
• Supervisor Gonzalez: O�en �mes, that would be City employees. Full-�me City
employees do have a priority.
• Commissioner Cansino: That’s so great.
Vice Chair Perez: There’s Head Start and other programs for families. Do you see a lot of lower
income families going through Head Start or do you s�ll see the demand?
• Supervisor Gonzalez: We see the demand. Others have a similar long wai�ng list. It’s a
demand across the county. There was a decline in enrollment and atendance here and
in other coun�es due to COVID. People who have lost their jobs due to COVID are now
at home able to take care of the child.
Commissioner Yee: Can you give a sense of revenue to expense? Are you breaking even?
• Supervisor Gonzalez: We’re not cost-covering at all.
Commissioner Cansino asks about staff speaking other languages.
• Supervisor Gonzalez: Yes, we have teachers that speak other languages (Spanish,
Cantonese, and Mandarin).
• Commissioner Yee: Since demographics are changing, how is that accounted for?
• Supervisor Gonzalez: Google Translate helps us a lot, and body language. Parents are
open and willing to learn English.
26
Commissioner Bedigian: The waitlist informa�on is in the recrea�on booklet. Is there other
outreach done?
• Supervisor Gonzalez: The majority of our families are returning families and word-of-
mouth families. We also provide informa�on at City-sponsored events.
• The group expresses concerns for people who are in need of child care but are unaware
of the long wait.
Supervisor Morrison introduces herself and the Youth Enrichment Services (YES) program. The
program is for TK-5th grade. There are 2 grant-funded programs, free for families, for children
struggling academically or socially. Priority goes to ones with teacher recommenda�ons.
There are programs for TK to 12-year-olds. There are teen camps for 13- and 14-year-olds. They
are recrea�on based programs in a play based environment. The licensing ra�o is 1:14, with the
programs aiming for 1:10 for the younger children or 1:12 for the older kids. Qualifica�ons for
teachers require units in coursework, but in a broader scope of topics.
Students transi�on from the preschool program to the a�er school program. They can volunteer
at 15 and become an aide at 16. Supervisor Morrison says they have a lot of staff members who
have been through the City’s programs.
All our programs are subsidized by the City. The City really makes an effort to provide affordable
services.
Supervisor Morrison shares that 4C’s offers parent educa�on classes. She says there is a need for
collabora�on between agencies.
Ques�ons
Commissioner Cansino: Since you have older kids, do you have counselors?
• Supervisor Morrison: We encourage healthy habits, but we do not have counselors in
our program. All the schools have a school psychologist.
• Officer Stenhouse clarifies that the coordinators and school district all work together to
serve the needs of the children. The a�er school program provides a�er school care, but
mental health would fall under the district.
Commissioner Bedigian wants to know how many available spots there are in the program
compared to how many students are enrolled in school (who are elementary age).
• Supervisor Morrison points out that the City is not the only provider for a�er school
programs. There is a childcare needs survey the Childcare Partnership Council conducts
every 5 years.
Commissioner Yee asks if there is a long waitlist similar to preschool.
• Morrison explains that it varies from school to school. Some have long waitlists, some
are not full.
27
Supervisor Morrison describes the registra�on process. Families enrolled in the a�er school
program have priority for summer camp. Students with siblings already in the program also have
priority.
Commissioner Delgadillo returns to the mee�ng at 7:26 p.m.
Commissioner Yee favors the lotery system in conjunc�on with the described priori�es. He asks
about cultural awareness/immersion (since there is a change in demographics) and how
technology is infused in the a�er school experience (in rela�on to the tech divide).
• Supervisor Morrison: We do not do any technology since they are exposed to so much
technology at school and at home. We expose them to everything else. We do
incorporate educa�on of other cultures from around the world via games, cooking, art,
projects, and ac�vi�es.
Commissioner Sanders: For those who do not get into these programs, what do the parents do?
What are their op�ons?
• Supervisor Morrison: We refer them to 4C’s. They keep a database of licensed providers
in the County.
• Officer Stenhouse: Community Care Licensing can be another resource for licensed care.
• Officer Stenhouse explains there is difference between a licensed child care provider and
an unlicensed provider.
• Supervisor Morrison: 4C’s also offers educa�on to parents on how to choose the right
child care provider.
Commissioner Sanders: Would you serve homeschooled children?
• Supervisor Morrison: Yes.
Vice Chair Perez: What does the curriculum look like for 4- and 5-year-olds in the program
compared to TK?
• Supervisor Gonzalez: I’m not familiar with what they are offering at the district level.
• Supervisor Gonzalez gives examples of different educa�onal topics and teaching
different skills. Looking at children individually to see what they need. All ac�vi�es are
goal oriented.
Commissioner Sanders: How do you handle LGBTQ related topics in your curriculum? Have you
had any safety issues?
• Supervisor Morrison: We do not incorporate any of that in our curriculum. We have not
had any issues. It’s case by case if we need to address in the curriculum or have a
speaker talk to the kids. Especially with the older kids, we work on conflict resolu�on
and social skills all the �me.
28
Commissioner Sanders: Do you ask for pronouns?
• Supervisor Gonzalez: There are some instances.
Commissioner Cansino: Educa�on ready assessment, is that available to families all year round
or only during registra�on?
• Supervisor Gonzalez: We provide feedback and updates to families year round.
• Commissioner Sanders: Is the informa�on you collect in a database?
• Supervisor Gonazalez: The informa�on is submited to the County. They use it for
repor�ng purposes.
Commissioners express pride in what South San Francisco offers and gra�tude towards the
speakers.
