Already, the city has said it is working to get 7,000 hotel rooms under contract. Paul Monge, legislative aide to Supervisor Hillary Ronen, called that earlier commitment “the good news.” The city had already put together staff and a plan to reach that 7,000 room tally last week, he said. “The difference here is really 1,200 rooms, so the bulk of what the city is committing to today is reflecting on these numbers.” But District 6 Supervisor Matt Haney said today’s legislation was necessary because the city’s plans are “not clear enough [and] not fast enough.” “We have tried to do this through partnership but legislation is absolutely required,” Haney said. The legislation was introduced and passed quickly following the aftermath of an outbreak at MSC South shelter, where more than 100 people have already contracted COVID-19 — which, according to Haney, is now the biggest outbreak in any shelter across the country. District 9 Supervisor Hillary Ronen added, “we have turned our city upside down fiscally. It was the right thing to do, because saving lives matters more.” But “we have simply not done that for the unhoused population. We have not gone all out.” Of the 8,250 hotel and motel rooms, 7,000 rooms will be used to shelter unhoused individuals, 750 rooms will be set aside for first responders, and 500 rooms for other individuals needing to quarantine after getting discharged from hospitals. At present, the city has 2,082 hotel rooms under contract, according to Trent Rhorer, the director of the San Francisco Human Services Agency. Of those, 880 rooms at two sites have been set aside for first responders. The remaining 1,202 rooms already in the city’s grasp are for vulnerable populations, including residents from shelters that are undergoing thinning, homeless people who are 60 years old and have underlying health conditions, and those who have been discharged from hospitals and have nowhere to go. Of the 1,202 rooms, Rhorer said at a Monday briefing, 751 had been filled. Rhorer said Wednesday that the city was working to get 7,000 under contract. According to Tuesday’s legislation, it would cost $58.6 million to acquire 8,250 rooms for one month, including security, food and personal care and room cleaning expenses. An additional $1.67 million per month might be needed to pay for onsite management staff at the hotels and motels. Supervisors emphasized that the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the California Office of Emergency Services could reimburse the city for up to 93.75 percent of emergency costs that it will incur in implementing the legislation. “We have approximately 5,600 people that are living on the streets and in shelters that couldn’t care for themselves,” said Ronen. The emergency legislation is now awaiting approval from Mayor London Breed. As an emergency ordinance, today’s legislation required eight votes to pass — a veto-proof majority. It received 11. In San Francisco, however, whether eight or even all 11 supervisors vote for legislation, it remains the mayor’s purview to not spend the money that would enable it. What’s more, questions remain about the operational feasibility of the emergency hotel legislation, especially on an expedited timeline. Even if the city repurposes employees normally working in a variety of departments into staffing these hotels, any number of them may decline to do so and go on leave (city sources noted that a similar inability to field enough drivers was a large factor in Muni service being cut to a bare minimum, and there are fears that COVID hotel staffing could suffer a similar fate). Multiple contracts involving multiple departments would need to be finalized to enable this legislation— also a bottleneck. “Passing something at the board,” one City Hall source tells us, “does not, in and of itself, constitute a plan.” So, today’s legislation may not be enacted on a timetable that would please its backers. “The fact that we haven’t had the urgency,” said Ronen during today’s meeting. That the city hadn’t been hustling to place vulnerable homeless people into hotels for the past month, she continued, was wrong — “wrong from every which way you look at it.” Joe Eskenazi contributed to this report.

[et_pb_section bb_built=”1″][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.19.5″] Otvorenje izložbe Monoliti autora Domagoja Rogine održat će se 1. veljače u 20 sati. Izložba će biti otvorena do 16. veljače, a radno vrijeme galerije je radnim danom od 12 do 20 sati te subotom od 10 do 13 sati. Osnova vedantske filozofije može se pronaći u pojmu advaita, koji znači nedvojnost, a odnosi se, ukratko, na jedinstvenost pojedinca i bitka (osnove postojanja). Svaka pojedinačna svijest je prema tom učenju nerazdvojiva od svega ostaloga što postoji – od drugih svijesti, ali i od cijelog svemira. Na tu nedjeljivost podsjetile su me slikarske težnje Domagoja Rogine iskazane u ciklusu koji je naslovio Monoliti. Već samim tim imenom koje označava strukturu načinjenu od jednog kamenog bloka, pa i lapidarnim potezom, te gustim i slojevitim nanosima boje kojima oblikuje senzacije na platnu, on nas podsjeća na stoljetnu težnju slikarstva ka postizanju jedinstva promatrača, autora, prizora, forme kojom se taj prizor prezentira, materije koja ga tka i asocijacija koje on budi. Sve izrečeno na ovim slikama izrečeno je u intenzivnom jeziku boje – predmeti poput čajnika ili buketa cvijeća, tijelo morske nemani, doživljaj jutarnje atmosfere ili autoportret kojemu se sjena naviruje preko ramena. Čini se da autor svemu odbija dati narativni razlog izvan same slikarske fascinacije. To su prizori njegove osobne svijesti, njegovi osjećaji i demoni koji dobivaju vlastite oblike i usisavaju nas. Mi smo, tako, zajedno s njim u tom vječnom trenutku jutra u atelijeru, kada je zrak svjež i gust, a dan obećava brojne prilike, a također s njim plovimo kroz prazan prostor njegovih snoviđenja u utrobi životinje slične morskome psu, sjajne kože i golemih usta, koja sugeriraju neobuzdano gutanje. To proždiranje ide u dva smjera: ono je i slikareva pohlepna konzumacija svijeta, kojega probavljenog izbacuje na platno, ali i gutanje gledatelja koje čini slika, njezina asimilacija naše pažnje i budnosti, te pretakanje cijele naše ličnosti u mentalni proces čuđenja i divljenja. Zato kažem da s Roginom putujemo u samoj utrobi zvjeri, to jest u utrobi slike. On nam ne želi dopustiti da se od njegovih slika odvojimo i da ih gledamo kao nešto izvan nas. U tome je njihov silni intenzitet, koji je imenom ciklusa povezan s osjećajem divljenja pred megalitskim konstrukcijama, prapovijesnim uspravnim kamenjem posijanim po svijetu s magijskim i obrednim svrhama poistovjećenja čovjeka s kozmosom i prirodom. Pored ovih slika svjedoci smo ekspresije tvari i stvari, transformacije površine slikarskog platna u prostor osobne nedokučivosti i čistog estetskog djelovanja (što svoje povijesne korijene ima u enformelu ili apstraktnom ekspresionizmu). S tim u vezi nameće se i spoznaja o arbitrarnosti doživljaja i o proizvoljnosti značenja koja pridajemo formama: svako tumačenje koje upisujemo u neko umjetničko djelo plod je sinergije našeg iskustva sa iskustvom stvaraoca. Domagoj Rogina je svoj osjećaj raznovrsnih predmeta i prostora izrazio u istovremeno nijemoj i rječitoj umjetnosti slikarstva, a ti izrazi za senzibilnog promatrača postaju poput sjene na njegovu autoportretu – tamni obrisi našeg lika, koji se nekim čudom otimaju pokretima koje bi trebali slijediti i žive svoj vlastiti, neobičan život. Stihovi Eliotove Puste zemlje obećavaju: „Pokazat ću ti nešto drugačije od / Tvoje sjene u jutro dok korača za tobom / Tvoje sjene predvečer dok ti hrli u susret / Pokazat ću ti tvoj strah u šaci prašine“. Slikarstvo je, također, svakako nešto drugačije od sjene ili oponašanja svijeta. To je odlamanje komada stvarnosti i njihovo klesanje u nove monolite ljudskih strahova, želja i fascinacija. (iz predgovora, Feđa Gavrilović) Domagoj Rogina rođen je 1989. u Varaždinu. Diplomirao je slikarstvo u klasi prof. Damira Sokića na Nastavničkom odsjeku na Akademiji likovnih umjetnosti Sveučilišta u Zagrebu 2017. godine. Izlagao je na nekoliko samostalnih (2017. U ogledalu, Galerija Greta; Plivač, Galerija V. Filakovac i 2014. Fragmentologija 2/2, Galerija 3,14) i tridesetak skupnih izložbi (2017. Bijenale slikarstva, HDLU; 13. Erste fragmenti, Galerija Kranjčar; 2014. Salon mladih, HDLU i dr.) Boravio je na rezidenciji u Belgiji 2015. godine. Od 2018. godine radi kao profesor likovne i tehničke kulture u Centru za odgoj i obrazovanje Slava Raškaj u Zagrebu.
