00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.000


00:01:29.340 --> 00:01:31.340
>> good morning to start the

00:01:40.111 --> 00:01:42.312
meeting.
>> I think you.
I would like to let members of

00:01:46.983 --> 00:01:49.200
the public know that we are
having a long hearing today for
items number 1 and 2.

00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:51.186
If you are here for other our
items it might be another two

00:01:54.824 --> 00:01:56.559
hours before are heard.
But I want to thank everyone for

00:01:59.997 --> 00:02:01.631
being here today.
I want to acknowledge the

00:02:03.967 --> 00:02:05.967
sponsor of this hearing

00:02:10.173 --> 00:02:12.575
>> thank you supervisor kim and
thank you everyone for being
here today on this particular

00:02:26.689 --> 00:02:29.910
item.
Who is going to go first?
I will call you when it is your
turn.

00:02:29.910 --> 00:02:31.459
Collects, today were discussing
our cities workforce development
program and the disparity

00:02:35.831 --> 00:02:38.298
between american -- the city
boasts a 3% unemployment rate
while it's african-american rate

00:02:42.471 --> 00:02:44.872
is 17%.
In some areas in the western
addition where I grew up it's

00:02:46.283 --> 00:02:48.283
even higher.

00:02:57.885 --> 00:02:59.887
It's unacceptable that we talk
about this economic prosperity,
technology, hospitality,

00:02:59.887 --> 00:03:02.255
construction all of this
incredible prosperity in san
francisco as it relates to

00:03:03.124 --> 00:03:05.193
employment yet, we have one of
the highest disparities in the
nation.

00:03:13.934 --> 00:03:16.690
Only second to detroit.
We need to take -- we need to
wake up to this crises and talk

00:03:16.690 --> 00:03:17.670
about poverty, unemployment,
consist of the uncircle

00:03:21.474 --> 00:03:23.510
population the migration of
african-americans and the fact
that we now represent less than

00:03:23.510 --> 00:03:25.510
6% of the population.

00:03:26.778 --> 00:03:28.514
These are facts.
Despite the crises we have moved

00:03:31.216 --> 00:03:33.216
to the fun these programs and

00:03:35.620 --> 00:03:37.355
seems to lack transparencies,
innovation and real strategies

00:03:39.825 --> 00:03:42.259
to actually address it.D these programs and
seems to lack transparencies,
innovation and real strategies

00:03:52.504 --> 00:03:54.738
to actually address it.
Some people think it's too late
to keep african-american in san

00:03:54.738 --> 00:03:56.473
francisco and I cannot speak for
everyone else but if there is a

00:04:03.481 --> 00:04:05.584
small chance to do anything
effective to change that, this
is why we are here today.

00:04:05.584 --> 00:04:07.284
To have this discussion and talk
about real solutions to talk

00:04:08.252 --> 00:04:09.986
about great programs what are we
going to invest in the necessary

00:04:19.495 --> 00:04:21.665
resources to do better?
We are one of the city's largest
employers but the work with do

00:04:21.665 --> 00:04:23.399
intersect with every booming
industry and san francisco like

00:04:24.268 --> 00:04:26.669
that healthcare and I want to
acknowledge our many city
departments and have been doing

00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:30.372
their part to contribute to work
first.

00:04:34.110 --> 00:04:36.478
The public utilities commission
the department of families and
public health and human

00:04:39.349 --> 00:04:41.750
services.
They all have workforce programs
and to be clear, not all of

00:04:45.121 --> 00:04:46.821
these work force programs are
actually doing a great job so

00:04:49.758 --> 00:04:51.758
there are room for improvement

00:05:01.135 --> 00:05:03.438
across all departments.
In 2014 I cosponsored
legislation that created the
committee on city workforce

00:05:03.438 --> 00:05:05.572
alignment.
We wanted to ensure that these
apartments were working together

00:05:05.572 --> 00:05:07.572
and aligning with the city

00:05:11.312 --> 00:05:13.448
employments need.
There were tasked with creating
and adopting a five-year

00:05:13.448 --> 00:05:15.448
strategic plan and today we have

00:05:16.951 --> 00:05:18.718
the draft for the five-year plan
before us and we hope that this

00:05:21.555 --> 00:05:23.990
conversation helps to shape the
outcome of this plan as well.
But we are here to talk about

00:05:31.899 --> 00:05:33.633
today is the task with workforce
development it's helping this

00:05:34.835 --> 00:05:36.835
type of work.

00:05:47.947 --> 00:05:49.949
The office of development is
spending $21 million on
workforce programs citywide and

00:05:49.949 --> 00:05:51.949
yes, 38% of their budget is

00:05:59.925 --> 00:06:02.127
serving african-american and
yes, they have had thousands of
job placements but how many of

00:06:02.127 --> 00:06:04.928
those african-americans actually
got a job?
And actually kept that job and
how many of those served have

00:06:09.568 --> 00:06:12.304
moved out of poverty enter
brighter futures?
How many of them are moving up
the economic ladder because we

00:06:12.304 --> 00:06:14.605
all know how expensive it is to
live in san francisco.
Clearly what were doing is not

00:06:27.118 --> 00:06:29.153
working.
That is why this conversation
cannot just be about job

00:06:29.153 --> 00:06:31.621
placement, it has to be about
targeted outreach about barrier
removal about job readiness and

00:06:34.580 --> 00:06:36.660
about retention.
We have to be created and look
at different ways in order to
address the problem.

00:06:36.660 --> 00:06:38.660
I look for to having this

00:06:42.932 --> 00:06:45.350
discussion today and hope to
that end we will look at some
recommendations of next step.

00:06:45.350 --> 00:06:47.470
We have a long way to go and
today, organist start with and
this initial conversation we

00:06:59.515 --> 00:07:01.684
will have three members were
going to be presenting to us
today and then we will open it

00:07:01.684 --> 00:07:03.986
up to questions from committee
members as well as public
comment because we also want to

00:07:03.986 --> 00:07:06.855
hear from members of the public.
I'm glad to see each and every
one of you here today.
We will start with a

00:07:14.596 --> 00:07:16.698
presentation by michel davis
sousa director of the human
rights commission then we will

00:07:16.698 --> 00:07:19.330
move on to michael carr whose
executive director of office of
economic and workforce

00:07:20.735 --> 00:07:23.300
development, finally,
presentation by rev.
Amos brown who is the President

00:07:27.642 --> 00:07:29.710
Of the san francisco and a -- and
a acp branch.
With that, Ms. Davis come

00:07:29.711 --> 00:07:31.711
forward.

00:07:34.482 --> 00:07:36.482
>> thank you.

00:07:41.455 --> 00:07:43.156
Thank you President, on the use
of powerpoint so we can bring

00:07:45.292 --> 00:07:47.260
that up that would be awesome.
I do want to preface by saying I

00:07:48.462 --> 00:07:50.462
know you only-I've know me in a

00:07:50.763 --> 00:07:52.763
different capacity and one of

00:07:57.537 --> 00:07:59.537
the reasons why I took the role

00:08:02.701 --> 00:08:04.380
that the human rights commission
was really to make sure to start
humanizing and bringing some of
the committee's concerns to this

00:08:06.713 --> 00:08:08.714
role into this position.
It goes without saying that
everyone in san francisco does

00:08:08.714 --> 00:08:10.714
not have same access an

00:08:25.230 --> 00:08:27.666
opportunity and pathways to
success.
One of the things that the
challenges that I've been faced

00:08:27.666 --> 00:08:29.767
with, how I make sure that we
just not get the data that
everyone doesn't have access but

00:08:29.767 --> 00:08:32.570
we find out why people don't
have axes and drill down a
little deeper.
Even though things are bad I

00:08:35.307 --> 00:08:37.641
don't think we are beyond hope
so this is about how do we begin
to provide that space.

00:08:45.810 --> 00:08:47.718
Some of the things were working
on right now to address
disparity issues one, were
trying to champion and move

00:08:47.718 --> 00:08:49.854
forward this engineering for
equity conversation and talk
about what it looks like to have

00:08:49.854 --> 00:08:51.854
equity applied in the various

00:09:06.336 --> 00:09:08.471
departments.
The human rights commission is
gonna be leading trainings and

00:09:08.471 --> 00:09:10.607
workshops and do technical
assistant to make sure that the
equity principles and that

00:09:10.607 --> 00:09:13.509
equity land is applied but also
make sure that the committee
voice is heard.
There are some frameworks listed

00:09:15.569 --> 00:09:18.213
there in terms of howard doing
that one of the projects that
were partnered when is a black
to the future collateral which
they are funny.
It is giving us a real
opportunity to look up with the

00:09:23.953 --> 00:09:26.550
real problems are and to develop
strategies to address them not
just based on numbers but really

00:09:26.550 --> 00:09:28.550
thinking about people and

00:09:30.124 --> 00:09:32.559
humanizing people.
To have a shared vision and
language around what it means to

00:09:35.362 --> 00:09:37.764
have equity in the city which I
don't think we have I think
every department May define it

00:09:42.103 --> 00:09:44.172
differently.
I think the committee's
perception of what equity is is

00:09:44.172 --> 00:09:46.173
not always played out within
city department and city
agencies.

00:09:46.374 --> 00:09:48.400
The things that I really
suggesting and recommending

00:09:52.647 --> 00:09:54.381
today first and foremost
encouraging moving beyond number

00:10:00.540 --> 00:10:02.256
crunching to responsive data
evaluations to think about what
the numbers are telling us in

00:10:02.256 --> 00:10:04.256
terms of the story and I just to

00:10:13.934 --> 00:10:16.503
kind of talk about the numbers
and what that means, knowing the
demands are put on the service
provider.

00:10:16.503 --> 00:10:18.605
Understanding what the service
providers are expected to do
with their limited resources

00:10:18.605 --> 00:10:21.174
they are given and taken into
consideration and revamp app if
needed.

00:10:21.174 --> 00:10:23.209
Understand the need of the
client and understand who
they're serving and what their

00:10:23.209 --> 00:10:25.209
needs are and whether the

00:10:25.877 --> 00:10:28.346
resources actually cover that
and then after we do all of that
if we find that it's not working

00:10:29.315 --> 00:10:31.315
to modify as needed.

00:10:34.386 --> 00:10:36.386
I think I should say I not -- 

00:10:39.957 --> 00:10:41.957
>> valencia we can get some

00:10:44.195 --> 00:10:46.195
member of the member said we can

00:10:51.102 --> 00:10:52.835
have them standing.
I just want to show that as many

00:11:02.181 --> 00:11:04.581
members of the public can set.
If you are a member of the
public and your standing please

00:11:05.650 --> 00:11:07.417
do find a seat.
Otherwise we do have to ask you

00:11:08.419 --> 00:11:10.419
to leave chambers and start an

00:11:13.956 --> 00:11:16.580
overflow room.
Thank you so much Ms. Davis.
>> no problem.

00:11:18.528 --> 00:11:21.196
I do want to say that this will
not be a traditional
presentation this is not about

00:11:22.798 --> 00:11:24.798
graphs and charts is not going

00:11:30.273 --> 00:11:32.642
to be a typical because again
I'm bringing into my history
committee.
The need for storing what I

00:11:32.642 --> 00:11:34.309
think we need to do more.
For some folks it's hard to

00:11:44.820 --> 00:11:47.355
grasp to not have things done in
the traditional way but clearly
the traditional way has not been
working.

00:11:47.355 --> 00:11:49.900
I start with this image here
because when they come into some

00:12:00.434 --> 00:12:02.604
of our workforce provider spaces
they are challenged with helping
people follow a path and the

00:12:02.604 --> 00:12:04.806
path is and always we wanted to
be.
That's because we don't know
what the story is.

00:12:04.806 --> 00:12:07.273
I really challenge the city to
think about when people come in
to understand what the needs are

00:12:14.682 --> 00:12:16.751
what were asking people to do.
One of the things this woman
that I'll be talking about in

00:12:16.751 --> 00:12:18.886
the store today is actually
somebody that's been through
three different work services

00:12:18.886 --> 00:12:21.354
providers and still has not had
a job.
She sat placement which is not
that job she sent issues and

00:12:21.354 --> 00:12:23.560
challenges come up and they were
not supported as part of the

00:12:27.227 --> 00:12:29.296
workforce provider program.
One of the things that we
learned is, even though people

00:12:29.296 --> 00:12:30.629
need jobs, they need other
support.

00:12:33.366 --> 00:12:35.968
The first thing that we've seen
it has been around family
support.
That means about housing

00:12:44.430 --> 00:12:46.511
sometimes what is it mean that I
get a job is economics up my
benefit.
Does that mean that I cannot

00:12:46.511 --> 00:12:48.881
afford or can afford to pay for
my housing or no don't have
money for food or
transportation.

00:12:48.881 --> 00:12:50.881
This is been a huge piece that

00:13:03.362 --> 00:13:05.597
has come up as a high priority.
The approach is what were asking
for and what were saying is that

00:13:05.597 --> 00:13:08.365
it can be isolation we can ask
workforce development to do it
alone.
Any sabia comprehensive program.

00:13:09.701 --> 00:13:11.435
The other pieces, this name is
not being shared but the story

00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:20.543
is.
The timeline of a person this is
real.
It May not be the story of
everyone but his interest dean
to find out how many have

00:13:23.281 --> 00:13:24.947
passive this.
First and foremost thinking

00:13:29.987 --> 00:13:31.721
about the impact of poverty,
generation poverty the impact of

00:13:34.390 --> 00:13:36.859
racism the impact of going to
school and not being supported
or getting the things that you

00:13:39.228 --> 00:13:41.697
need.
We can say all that long that we
want this young woman to get a

00:13:49.239 --> 00:13:51.774
job a week.Not know her story
and understand we can support
her in that.
She will do like she has arty

00:13:51.774 --> 00:13:53.943
done to get a job, and lose that
job or something will happen

00:13:53.943 --> 00:13:55.943
that will cause it to be keep

00:14:01.817 --> 00:14:03.985
complicated.
All we talk about trauma and we
talk about reality and I know

00:14:03.985 --> 00:14:05.720
sometimes people have a hard
time with this picture, imagine

00:14:06.355 --> 00:14:08.560
living this life not just
looking at the picture but be

00:14:10.920 --> 00:14:11.825
the young person that catches a
family member that's just been

00:14:15.797 --> 00:14:17.966
murdered.
And having to go through life
and not have an address and the

00:14:17.966 --> 00:14:19.966
next thing you do is you start

00:14:21.436 --> 00:14:23.771
school and it still hasn't been
dealt with and I you have
behavior problems in school

00:14:27.275 --> 00:14:29.377
you're getting in trouble you're
not getting the support that you
need and still no one knows that

00:14:29.377 --> 00:14:31.377
you witness a homicide.

00:14:34.115 --> 00:14:35.849
Now you have multiple drama and
everything that's happening in

00:14:40.454 --> 00:14:42.889
the classroom as to this person.
Another trauma another tragic
event, the mother goes missing

00:14:44.623 --> 00:14:46.359
and never comes home again.
So now, she's witness a homicide

00:14:48.795 --> 00:14:50.529
she's had problems in school and
she has lost her mother and yet

00:14:57.537 --> 00:14:59.905
people are still expected her to
act normal whatever normal might
be.
The trauma has never been

00:14:59.905 --> 00:15:01.905
address of the issues intervened

00:15:03.910 --> 00:15:05.944
out with because people are
afraid to admit that what's
going on in home because now

00:15:05.944 --> 00:15:07.944
were worried about cps our

00:15:10.316 --> 00:15:13.183
people to find our families.
The study talks about adverse
side effects.
There been study of the impact

00:15:14.253 --> 00:15:16.253
of trauma about trauma and how

00:15:18.358 --> 00:15:20.358
it leads to healthy -- risky

00:15:21.260 --> 00:15:22.826
behavior.
We see someone being

00:15:23.729 --> 00:15:25.729
incarcerated which is another

00:15:36.140 --> 00:15:38.276
layer to trauma.
Again complicating the ability
and then she has a child and

00:15:38.276 --> 00:15:40.743
she's trying to get a job and
people wanted to do a six-week
program and think that six week

00:15:46.951 --> 00:15:48.618
will undo 20 years of trauma
she's going to be able to

00:15:50.672 --> 00:15:52.248
maintain and keep a job.
It's not possible and its undue
hardship to put on a service
provider and expect them to get

00:15:56.493 --> 00:15:59.195
someone job ready.
Then you add another child to
that.
So now we have an additional

00:16:00.230 --> 00:16:01.897
stressor on that young woman.
And still the idea that she

00:16:09.205 --> 00:16:11.274
supposed to get a job but she
doesn't have child care she
still hasn't finished high

00:16:11.274 --> 00:16:13.800
school she still is having to
live in a committee that has not

00:16:13.309 --> 00:16:14.976
a lot of support and she still
dealing with her own stigma

00:16:23.285 --> 00:16:25.287
around mental health.
Let's say she finally does, she
goes and takes a class and not

00:16:25.287 --> 00:16:27.356
her chosen school.
Another getting phone calls
nausea no longer to finish a

00:16:27.356 --> 00:16:29.560
program she can keep her job
because she has to leave the

00:16:29.758 --> 00:16:31.758
program to go and handle things

00:16:42.136 --> 00:16:44.205
at the school.
Or even we've seen where
families are being told maybe

00:16:44.205 --> 00:16:46.675
you should just homeschool your
child.
How can I get a job, how can
they manage and do all this work

00:16:46.675 --> 00:16:48.275
without the additional support?
It's not just about the

00:16:51.780 --> 00:16:53.546
workforce piece of were not
looking at it comprehensively we
will not be able to address the

00:16:53.748 --> 00:16:55.748
issue.

00:17:11.998 --> 00:17:14.670
For me the recommendations the
first one is for your clients a
deeper work understanding who

00:17:14.670 --> 00:17:16.769
were serving and who the
organizations are serving.
If you have two of the
organization there both asked to

00:17:16.769 --> 00:17:19.205
serve 100 clients and get them
place, one of the organizations

00:17:19.205 --> 00:17:20.938
only has two people with extreme
trauma and the other one has 50

00:17:22.208 --> 00:17:24.208
people it's not really, it's not

00:17:33.185 --> 00:17:35.721
fair.
This need to be taken into
consideration.
A better understanding of why

00:17:35.721 --> 00:17:38.322
people are unemployed and been
able to build that into the
program.
Deeper partnership with

00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:44.361
community it's really easy to
get folks who know how to write
about doing the work it's

00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:50.834
different to have people do know
how to do the work and have the
relationship and community.

00:17:52.704 --> 00:17:54.438
We need to have better
communications with them to form

00:18:07.384 --> 00:18:09.686
what the proposals look like.
Consider the support needed for
client success.
Stronger relationships within

00:18:09.686 --> 00:18:11.722
departments.
I know you have the workforce
alignment piece but that

00:18:11.722 --> 00:18:13.825
specifically around workforce
what are we doing about the
support center needed in order

00:18:13.825 --> 00:18:15.491
for that workforce involving
other people and then just

00:18:16.580 --> 00:18:17.760
lastly I would say the idea
notion about modify as needed.

00:18:18.361 --> 00:18:20.361
I have been our office is a lot

00:18:22.898 --> 00:18:24.898
of work which look at

00:18:30.673 --> 00:18:33.574
african-american from 1964-1990
and looking at the outmigration
report from 2009 and all the
ones in between.

00:18:37.313 --> 00:18:39.315
There is tons of data this is
what's happening to black folks
in san francisco.

00:18:39.315 --> 00:18:41.315
There's very little to be done

00:18:42.985 --> 00:18:45.420
to change what's happening to
black folks in san francisco.
It's what you been doing which

00:18:49.657 --> 00:18:51.726
is not working.
Then we need to change it.
That is where I kind of leave

00:18:51.726 --> 00:18:53.726
and it's not working if you're

00:18:54.895 --> 00:18:57.598
not happy what it does it look
like to change it and make it
work.
Thank you.

00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:01.000
[Applause]

00:19:03.171 --> 00:19:05.171
[Applause]

00:19:08.375 --> 00:19:10.375
>> thank you Miss Davis.

00:19:14.854 --> 00:19:16.388
You and I worked very closely in
the community for years together
and a lot of the work that we

00:19:22.155 --> 00:19:24.258
had to do was really handhold
young people and when I say
young people we are talking

00:19:24.258 --> 00:19:27.590
about kids who are 18, 19 and 20
who never worked a job in their
life.
Basically were now asked to show

00:19:35.680 --> 00:19:37.169
on time learn how to develop
relationship with her boss so
they understood how that work

00:19:37.169 --> 00:19:39.639
and what the rights work and
more importantly, how to adjust

00:19:39.639 --> 00:19:41.740
to showing up to something every
single day.
Doing a job and what that all

00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:46.810
meant in terms of them and their
interaction with the people they

00:19:53.285 --> 00:19:55.788
work with, their boss with their
need for even transportation to
get to and from work.

00:19:55.788 --> 00:19:57.788
Even having the money and

00:20:01.590 --> 00:20:02.760
understanding just the need to
balance a checkbook or have a

00:20:17.541 --> 00:20:19.744
bank account or purchase a card
and all these things that people
sometime assume that people know

00:20:19.744 --> 00:20:22.179
that this is what they need to
do.
The handholding that went into
the work that we had to do was

00:20:22.179 --> 00:20:23.880
more so because of course, we
cared about the young people

00:20:28.952 --> 00:20:31.870
were working with.
We want them to succeed and we
knew that many of the programs

00:20:31.870 --> 00:20:33.556
that were getting funded to
provide this level of support
were not doing exactly the work

00:20:35.425 --> 00:20:37.159
that they were funding to do.
That was a friend nation that we

00:20:38.395 --> 00:20:40.362
shared.
Thank you for your presentation.

00:20:46.803 --> 00:20:49.237
Also sadly, the situation that
you explained about the young
lady who I know you been working

00:20:54.443 --> 00:20:56.511
with for many years is silly to
comment.
But the difference here is, she

00:20:59.783 --> 00:21:01.917
also had a carried advocate for
her so the people that are out
there working in the community

00:21:01.917 --> 00:21:03.917
the ones especially who are

00:21:03.955 --> 00:21:05.685
being funded they have to be
people who actually care about

00:21:07.589 --> 00:21:09.323
the people there serving.
And that is definitely something

00:21:17.632 --> 00:21:19.701
important to talk about.
We're going to get into some of
the nitty-gritty and again,

00:21:19.701 --> 00:21:21.435
there's a lot of different
layers of this whole workforce

00:21:26.140 --> 00:21:28.476
funding and program in the city.
The reason why this hearing came
about is not just because of the

00:21:28.476 --> 00:21:30.476
unemployment numbers which we

00:21:34.470 --> 00:21:35.715
know are really embarrassing for
san francisco we should be

00:21:36.316 --> 00:21:39.218
embarrassed by these numbers and
the african-american committee.

00:21:42.956 --> 00:21:45.124
But this particular department
department-haven't department is

00:21:45.124 --> 00:21:47.560
one that I'm concerned about.
I'm concerned about the funding
I'm concerned how it's

00:21:48.361 --> 00:21:50.361
distributed and whether or not

00:21:54.200 --> 00:21:56.200
this department is prepared to

00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:01.573
do more innovated and changing
and something that can actually
lead to the results that we want

00:22:05.243 --> 00:22:07.346
to see.
Next step will be a presentation
and discussion with the office

00:22:07.346 --> 00:22:09.346
of economic and workforce

00:22:12.483 --> 00:22:14.483
development the direct, Mr.

00:22:15.886 --> 00:22:17.388
Corser to do the presentation.
Welcome Mr. Carr.

00:22:28.365 --> 00:22:30.468
>> thank you.
I want to thank you for this
opportunity and others are in

00:22:30.468 --> 00:22:32.703
this audience were passionate
about the plight about
african-americans in san

00:22:33.238 --> 00:22:35.572
francisco.
Being a black man I deeply
troubled by the numbers and

00:22:38.209 --> 00:22:39.943
deeply concerned and I've been
in this role for a little over a

00:22:41.244 --> 00:22:43.244
year and we made some really big

00:22:44.515 --> 00:22:46.115
changes to our problem attic
 -- programs and how are

00:22:51.588 --> 00:22:53.757
approaching this.
In this presentation I would
like to offer you several things

00:22:53.757 --> 00:22:55.757
and an overview of the workforce

00:22:58.940 --> 00:23:00.596
programs, some of the recent
programs are pushing out and how
we are introducing support into

00:23:01.331 --> 00:23:03.650
the committee.
Which you go ahead and put the

00:23:11.107 --> 00:23:13.107
slide up for me?

00:23:18.679 --> 00:23:21.481
Thank you.
I want to say thank you to
cheryl davis.
The things that she did, she

00:23:25.187 --> 00:23:28.121
identified when you're and
workforce a lot of the barriers
and people that we run into that
have barriers.

00:23:34.529 --> 00:23:36.698
When you saw her slide there
were telling and impactful and
those are some of the barriers

00:23:36.698 --> 00:23:38.432
and things that we deal with
what we have clients that come

00:23:38.999 --> 00:23:40.734
in and some of the neighborhoods
that have the highest level of

00:23:45.380 --> 00:23:47.474
poverty and barriers she talked
about a couple of things and
we've talked about these in the

00:23:48.309 --> 00:23:50.309
past.

00:23:56.583 --> 00:23:58.917
Some of these families lack
support they lack the
educational attainment they lack

00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:02.822
the health and wellness services
they need the workforce
development peace and balance

00:24:02.922 --> 00:24:04.922
prevention.

00:24:06.993 --> 00:24:09.528
All of that needs to be in place
we're going have someone to get
into the workforce.

00:24:11.731 --> 00:24:13.731
From a workforce area we been

00:24:16.436 --> 00:24:18.170
working with the urgency to
align all of our city workforce

00:24:23.209 --> 00:24:25.676
departments.
We just spoke about the chapter
30 alignment and in the past

00:24:31.884 --> 00:24:33.885
year, we've made great strides.
Not enough but enough to align
the workforce departments.

00:24:33.885 --> 00:24:35.885
Some are seen here today.

00:24:38.230 --> 00:24:40.925
I want to thank the director,
nicole simmons.
One of the biggest challenges is
getting people ready to go to

00:24:43.928 --> 00:24:45.995
work.
And looking to increase her job
skills.

00:24:59.744 --> 00:25:01.946
Not just enough to pick people
in entry-level low-paying jobs.
We need to put them in job to

00:25:01.946 --> 00:25:04.414
provide careers and that's what
our strategy is changing to do.
Again it's not quicken us but we

00:25:04.815 --> 00:25:07.250
are moving in that direction.
If you go to the next slide.
In recognizing that some of the

00:25:09.152 --> 00:25:11.753
things that the h are c has done
we put a work force transmit

00:25:14.570 --> 00:25:16.570
matt.

00:25:19.262 --> 00:25:20.896
 -- map we recognize that there 17
city departments that do

00:25:23.933 --> 00:25:25.933
workforce and up until a year

00:25:30.172 --> 00:25:32.540
ago we did not talk to each of
the work that we were doing and
how were doing that work.

00:25:32.942 --> 00:25:34.942
The chapter 30 alignment we got

00:25:35.811 --> 00:25:37.811
the workforce division, the p

00:25:49.570 --> 00:25:51.592
you see, public works and their
family.
We sat down and look at all the
workforce programs that we had

00:25:51.592 --> 00:25:53.592
and how they work together and

00:25:56.664 --> 00:25:58.664
we drew a map.

00:26:05.373 --> 00:26:07.841
We now know where they enter
into the system, we can put them
on the system and put them into

00:26:24.558 --> 00:26:26.292
careers sustainable careers.
If you look at the slide the

00:26:29.629 --> 00:26:31.663
african-american and the
unemployment rate and it
fluctuates.

00:26:47.120 --> 00:26:49.615
If you look at the employment
rate allowed to get happy when
they say san francisco's apple
employment.

00:26:49.615 --> 00:26:51.817
Let's not forget about those who
are left behind and that's who
we are talking about today the

00:26:51.817 --> 00:26:54.252
african-american population that
has a unemployment rate of
16.3%.
We looked at the data based on

00:26:54.252 --> 00:26:55.920
the people that are here in the
city were african-american

00:27:05.530 --> 00:27:08.498
descent 39,000 are ready to go
to work right now.
Of that 39,000, we actually have
about 20,000 that are in the

00:27:12.203 --> 00:27:14.704
workforce right now.
Of those 20,000 if you take that
16.3% unemployment rate you come

00:27:16.907 --> 00:27:18.907
up up in the county of san

00:27:32.322 --> 00:27:34.990
francisco about 3200.
We served 67% that were in the
unemployment rate.
That does not tell the whole

00:27:34.990 --> 00:27:37.127
story their solos are not in the
unemployment rate were not
looking for work and we have to

00:27:37.127 --> 00:27:39.328
identify ways to reach out for
them.
Then this picture there's a lady

00:27:42.565 --> 00:27:44.966
in the left her name's patricia.
Several years ago, she was
working at a company here in san

00:27:47.403 --> 00:27:49.137
francisco and she can solely see
that the company was shutting

00:27:51.540 --> 00:27:53.942
down moving jobs overseas.
After they shut down, patricia
said I will get a job very

00:27:59.281 --> 00:28:01.783
easily.
Three years later she was
unemployed.
One of them she did, she went to

00:28:01.783 --> 00:28:03.783
one of her access points and she

00:28:04.886 --> 00:28:07.655
came in and we determined that
she didn't want to go
construction but she want to go
to healthcare.

00:28:11.825 --> 00:28:13.560
We put them into a program which
had a paid internship for four

00:28:15.897 --> 00:28:17.531
months so patricia, she worked
on her skills went to the

00:28:18.800 --> 00:28:20.534
program she impressed yourself
she impressed the colicky's and

00:28:23.504 --> 00:28:25.572
now she's working in the general
hospital.
Those of the kind of stories

00:28:26.173 --> 00:28:28.173
that we love to hear.

00:28:28.976 --> 00:28:30.976
Again the gentleman on the

00:28:38.885 --> 00:28:40.885
right.

00:28:44.223 --> 00:28:46.223
This gentleman was in the

00:28:55.568 --> 00:28:57.670
program and now he worked for an
art school he did internship and
comcast know he works as a

00:28:57.670 --> 00:28:59.771
production engineer and apple.
These are some the things we
want to do.

00:29:01.874 --> 00:29:03.874
Please.

00:29:05.114 --> 00:29:07.114
Strategic priorities.

00:29:07.479 --> 00:29:09.479
Our first and foremost is

00:29:25.290 --> 00:29:27.290
hardest to serve.

00:29:34.380 --> 00:29:36.400
Everybody here talked about we
understand that the
african-american population has

00:29:36.400 --> 00:29:38.420
a lot of barriers and their one
of the hardest to serve.
our goal is to make sure we put

00:29:38.420 --> 00:29:40.244
access points in the right
place, we have the right program
in place and make sure we have

00:29:40.244 --> 00:29:42.345
access points and availability.
We are sensitive to the fact
that sometimes it takes somebody

00:29:42.345 --> 00:29:45.150
more than one chance to go
through the program.
As a go through and they get
into an entry-level job, we do

00:29:45.150 --> 00:29:47.150
not want to leave them there.
We want to move them up into
better career so they can have a

00:29:47.150 --> 00:29:49.384
family and live here and be
proud.

00:29:51.454 --> 00:29:53.122
This is a way to slow down our
migration is to get people

00:29:55.230 --> 00:29:57.230
careers well-paying careers in

00:29:57.160 --> 00:29:59.795
san francisco.
And we are changing as you said

00:30:08.170 --> 00:30:10.239
I heard earlier we have been
doing some of the things for a
while it's difficult to make

00:30:10.239 --> 00:30:12.373
change and we are making
systematic and slow changes in
our program.

00:30:17.880 --> 00:30:20.548
For instance, we have neighbor
access points.
One of the things that we
identified they overlap.

00:30:21.116 --> 00:30:22.850
One of the changes that is
coming from the new program we

00:30:26.923 --> 00:30:29.490
are putting in job awareness
training.
Because with our funding
sometimes a goes from

00:30:41.501 --> 00:30:43.537
year-to-year it takes more than
a year to really go through and
get ready for a job.

00:30:43.537 --> 00:30:46.600
We have put in programs and put
in markers to make sure that we
are following these folks
through the job.

00:30:46.600 --> 00:30:47.774
And increase coordination.
Again, we are talking to hs age

00:30:50.544 --> 00:30:52.544
and we are open to help the

00:30:52.946 --> 00:30:54.946
uniqueness of the communities.

00:30:58.850 --> 00:31:00.850
San francisco bay area is 49 mi.

00:31:00.654 --> 00:31:03.880
.We are open to help the
uniqueness of the communities.
San francisco bay area is 49 mi.

00:31:03.323 --> 00:31:05.900
.Uniqueness of the communities.
San francisco bay area is 49 mi.

00:31:08.628 --> 00:31:11.300
.
We are trying to understand the
needs of each one of those

00:31:14.967 --> 00:31:16.635
communities.
This slide talks about her

00:31:28.313 --> 00:31:30.982
approach.
This is kind of the service
coordinator were looking at
locally regionally and

00:31:30.982 --> 00:31:32.982
nationally with her workforce

00:31:37.556 --> 00:31:40.126
partners.
We are kind of the closest to
getting people into unsubsidized
employments.

00:31:40.126 --> 00:31:42.593
We understand what employers
need and want and were pushing
that back down to her work city

00:31:45.396 --> 00:31:48.165
workforce department to make
sure that when clients come into
one of them they understand
that.

00:31:53.404 --> 00:31:55.805
In san francisco we all know
that there's four big sectors
that produce job healthcare,

00:32:11.354 --> 00:32:13.491
hospitality, and construction.
And were pushing folks into all
those areas were even looking

00:32:13.491 --> 00:32:16.192
out of the box and looking at
the future of work.
When you think about automation,
self driving cars electrical

00:32:16.192 --> 00:32:17.926
cars were working on a plan to
make sure that we are ahead of

00:32:19.595 --> 00:32:21.631
the curve they were planning for
those new features and we can
get people that are really in

00:32:21.631 --> 00:32:23.932
these hard to serve areas
trained and into those areas
savor in the automotive

00:32:28.771 --> 00:32:30.906
industry.
You can work as an auto mechanic
making around 54,000 a year but

00:32:30.906 --> 00:32:32.906
that can go up as high as

00:32:33.374 --> 00:32:34.876
$100,000 a year plus if you
train technically.

00:32:40.515 --> 00:32:42.751
You and adults.
we have a job readiness program.
Some of the old program that we

00:32:42.751 --> 00:32:44.751
had were not working as well and

00:32:45.120 --> 00:32:47.120
we have other programs called

00:32:47.956 --> 00:32:49.956
job readiness program.

00:32:53.528 --> 00:32:55.996
We put a new access point in the
neighborhood that didn't have an
access point to make sure that

00:32:56.230 --> 00:32:58.731
residence of that neighborhood
are being served.

00:33:08.774 --> 00:33:10.810
Please I have another story that
I want to talk about and these
are the numbers from our

00:33:10.810 --> 00:33:12.810
workforce from program your

00:33:15.482 --> 00:33:17.584
15-16.
If you look at them we served
over 6000 clients with the

00:33:17.584 --> 00:33:19.584
budget that we had and were very

00:33:27.794 --> 00:33:30.363
effective.
In 16-17 we aren't has to meet
that budget.
It's very important as we serve

00:33:30.363 --> 00:33:32.731
people you just don't look at
the numbers.
You personalize it are they

00:33:32.731 --> 00:33:34.990
serving the client they need to
be serve?

00:33:35.533 --> 00:33:37.533
I do have a story about if you

00:33:39.380 --> 00:33:41.380
go into a d5 or d10 neighborhood

00:33:43.709 --> 00:33:45.810
and you're working with an
individual and they're not
meeting the numbers one of the

00:33:45.810 --> 00:33:47.810
first things I was confronted

00:33:48.914 --> 00:33:50.648
with, my staff was tommy that
were issuing corrective action

00:34:00.725 --> 00:34:03.329
notices and one neighborhood.
They wanted to move them out and
the fund them.
One of the things I wanted to do

00:34:03.329 --> 00:34:05.280
was going to the neighborhood
and hear the stories of that

00:34:05.396 --> 00:34:07.898
particular organization.
It took me several tries to sit
down with the executive director

00:34:07.965 --> 00:34:09.699
and once we sat down and we
listen to what that person was

00:34:21.878 --> 00:34:24.581
saying they explain to us the
plight of having
african-american your talk into
one minute he looks across the

00:34:24.581 --> 00:34:26.315
parking lot and he sees somebody
that is really threatening his

00:34:32.210 --> 00:34:34.890
life and he takes off running.
And we recognize and understand
that there are challenges with

00:34:34.890 --> 00:34:36.792
the community in these
neighborhoods.
And after having that
conversation she gave several

00:34:44.734 --> 00:34:46.869
more examples.
We lord the requirements that
she needed because we knew she

00:34:46.869 --> 00:34:49.400
had a tough job ahead and she
was the one that was making that
touch point in that community.

00:34:49.400 --> 00:34:51.140
That is very important to us.
This is not about numbers this
is really about changing lives.

00:34:51.140 --> 00:34:53.140
And we are going to do and

00:34:57.790 --> 00:34:59.547
listen to offers at the board
have we listen to our partners
we have a team of people who are

00:35:00.182 --> 00:35:02.182
passionate and dedicated so we

00:35:02.550 --> 00:35:04.550
are opening we are just not here

00:35:05.420 --> 00:35:07.154
for achieving goals.
The next slide is very hard to

00:35:14.162 --> 00:35:17.970
see.
President, you talked about the
people you serve.
But, 38% of the client so we

00:35:22.703 --> 00:35:25.571
serve our african-american.
Probably 90% of the people that
we serve are between the ages of
18-59.

00:35:32.479 --> 00:35:34.914
This is kind of like our
wheelhouse and this is where we
want to really increase these

00:35:36.283 --> 00:35:38.918
numbers and outcomes to a
greater level.
.

00:35:42.755 --> 00:35:44.755
Make sure that if you keep doing

00:35:53.132 --> 00:35:55.801
the same thing over and over
it's just insanity.
We realize and we have gotten a
lot of conversations and push

00:35:55.801 --> 00:35:58.237
back on this that we need to
make changes to produce results.

00:35:58.237 --> 00:36:00.300
Bear in mind that we are
listening to our partners in the

00:36:03.607 --> 00:36:05.910
neighborhood were telling us
this is not working we would do
better by doing this.

00:36:13.151 --> 00:36:15.320
Some of the things that we heard
is retention.
For us retention is very
difficult.

00:36:15.320 --> 00:36:17.354
There is two ways that we can do
retention.
We can go through the state

00:36:18.423 --> 00:36:21.123
department of employment and
development and it takes 69
months to get data back from
them.

00:36:21.759 --> 00:36:23.759
All we can have our individual

00:36:25.930 --> 00:36:28.665
ended and try to track people-9
months to get data back from
them.
All we can have our individual

00:36:29.600 --> 00:36:31.334
ended and try to track people
one thing that were doing, let's

00:36:37.307 --> 00:36:39.442
say that were going into
somebody that's going into the
workforce for the track that

00:36:39.442 --> 00:36:41.442
person and make sure they can

00:36:44.981 --> 00:36:47.170
work in that job.
Were going to assign a case
manager and work with them

00:36:47.170 --> 00:36:49.170
one-on-one to make sure that

00:36:49.719 --> 00:36:51.453
they stay in that job and so
this is something new that we

00:36:58.427 --> 00:37:00.496
are trying.
Again, I alluded to this earlier
a lot of people in the

00:37:00.496 --> 00:37:02.197
communities who have barriers it
takes a more than one year to

00:37:02.999 --> 00:37:05.734
get ready for a job.
With this job readiness training
will work with them over and
over.

00:37:11.273 --> 00:37:13.640
You and adults and subsidize
employment.
That's something that's
important.

00:37:27.721 --> 00:37:29.824
We brought on some new contacts
in the business community.
What this will do it will allow

00:37:29.824 --> 00:37:31.958
us to put these folks into paid
internships a temporary job and
start working with the hopes

00:37:31.958 --> 00:37:34.950
that once they conclude that
internship they will move into a
permanent job.
These are new and different

00:37:34.950 --> 00:37:35.761
ideas.
This is the private sector

00:37:36.864 --> 00:37:38.365
holding us and working together
to make a change.

00:37:43.700 --> 00:37:45.672
The last thing or slide, I want
to referred to the chapter
workforce development plan.

00:37:48.208 --> 00:37:49.876
The major priority here is to
make sure that we break the

00:37:55.150 --> 00:37:57.682
cycle of poverty.
And this just not start with a
job.
It starts with some of the

00:38:00.186 --> 00:38:02.520
things that the human right
commission mentioned.
Is making sure that from the age

00:38:03.890 --> 00:38:05.756
of three the african-american
kids and families have that

00:38:09.361 --> 00:38:11.129
mentorship and right guidance.
And even if they don't and they

00:38:14.433 --> 00:38:16.100
get to us the five city
departments are working on

00:38:25.611 --> 00:38:28.246
aligning our resources, human
services agency has been a very
help to us.
We are letting them know what we

00:38:28.246 --> 00:38:30.246
need to kind of see to make sure

00:38:33.218 --> 00:38:35.286
that these folks have a vision a
lot of these kids live in
neighborhoods and they don't

00:38:35.286 --> 00:38:36.919
know that they can work at tesla
or get some other places.

00:38:42.427 --> 00:38:44.562
Were trying to ensure from a
workforce that point that we
provide that vision that we also

00:38:44.562 --> 00:38:46.630
provide the local and needed
support to those communities.

00:38:46.630 --> 00:38:48.630
With that I will conclude my

00:38:50.801 --> 00:38:53.570
presentation.
I want to thank you for the
opportunity to make this
presentation.

00:38:55.739 --> 00:38:57.507
>> thank you.
I will ask a couple of questions

00:39:05.615 --> 00:39:07.617
and then as I said I'm gonna let
rev.
Brown do a presentation that
were can open it up to public

00:39:07.617 --> 00:39:09.317
comment.
After public comment once we

00:39:10.319 --> 00:39:12.721
hear from member the comment
they May have questions so I
will be writing those things

00:39:13.955 --> 00:39:15.691
down in order to maybe ask the
workforce director or Ms. Davis

00:39:22.465 --> 00:39:24.866
as well.
I want to go back a little bit
because I hear what you're

00:39:28.904 --> 00:39:30.671
saying but what you're saying
like for example anomie just go

00:39:34.943 --> 00:39:36.711
back to your recent comments.
New services you're saying that

00:39:42.820 --> 00:39:44.785
they're innovated like job
readiness including barrier
removal.
That is not new that is
something that is already
happening.
It's happening at the success in

00:39:45.587 --> 00:39:47.921
the western division.
It's happy with lawyer
committees for the rights they

00:39:53.600 --> 00:39:55.295
been doing it for you years.
That is not a new thing.
Part of what I don't see

00:39:56.497 --> 00:39:58.497
happening is how this department

00:40:01.735 --> 00:40:03.503
uses its ability to distribute
money to these organizations and

00:40:06.573 --> 00:40:08.908
try to make sure that people are
aware with barriers in
particular just what the rights

00:40:16.549 --> 00:40:18.718
are and more poorly that they
cannot be discriminated against
because of a law that we pass

00:40:18.718 --> 00:40:20.854
led by supervisor kim that makes
it illegal for anyone to require

00:40:20.854 --> 00:40:22.854
or ask for someone's criminal

00:40:31.697 --> 00:40:33.799
history.
Part of what's missing here is
yes, there are people who have

00:40:33.799 --> 00:40:35.901
had challenges but their
stillness assumption out there
that people are going to be

00:40:35.901 --> 00:40:37.901
discriminated against because

00:40:38.971 --> 00:40:41.806
they commit a crime they serve
their time and May or May not
committed the crime but they did
serve time.

00:40:43.442 --> 00:40:45.442
Now, they're looking for an

00:40:46.812 --> 00:40:48.812
employment opportunity and there

00:40:48.847 --> 00:40:50.847
is not a lot of education about

00:40:56.821 --> 00:40:59.523
what's possible within not just
this department but other
departments.
I think that needs to be

00:41:02.527 --> 00:41:04.894
included and it should also,
it's not in a workforce
alignment program is why I'm the

00:41:10.601 --> 00:41:13.468
only member who has not approved
it because were not even talking
about it.
Were not even mentioning that as

00:41:13.869 --> 00:41:15.571
a barrier removal issue.
Education is key but it's not

00:41:16.807 --> 00:41:18.807
anything.

00:41:28.985 --> 00:41:31.954
The other thing is again, the
programs I mean we have a
program that is working with one
of the most challenging

00:41:33.122 --> 00:41:35.122
populations in the city job now.

00:41:41.697 --> 00:41:43.799
What I don't understand is why
in job now programs, why haven't
done more coordination?

00:41:43.799 --> 00:41:45.799
These folks are pretty much a

00:41:50.639 --> 00:41:53.700
job ready, why can't they get
prioritize for the sector
academies or prioritize for the

00:42:00.347 --> 00:42:03.830
next layer of opportunities
through the services that we
offer?
I'm trying to understand, it's

00:42:05.653 --> 00:42:07.787
one thing to talk ensure data
and connect and have discussion
but why are the departments

00:42:07.787 --> 00:42:09.787
still not working together and

00:42:13.160 --> 00:42:16.960
why isn't them as a lead
department for workforce taking
on the leadership to coordinate
these programs?

00:42:19.633 --> 00:42:21.867
I just don't understand.
It looks like everyone is
operating in their own

00:42:26.873 --> 00:42:29.409
departments.
Can you help me understand that?
>> sure.
I want to go back to one of your

00:42:29.409 --> 00:42:31.409
earlier questions about job

00:42:32.612 --> 00:42:34.380
early program.
It's something that we feel that

00:42:34.714 --> 00:42:36.448
we nor of.
The second part that you brought

00:42:39.953 --> 00:42:41.953
up around incarceration we have

00:42:45.910 --> 00:42:47.525
a program and we deal with fully
incarcerated and we make sure
that employers a we deal with

00:42:52.798 --> 00:42:55.134
know that that is not legal or
the thing to do to kinda
question somebody's
incarceration.

00:42:55.134 --> 00:42:56.867
>> there are people that don't
go through this program and they

00:42:59.471 --> 00:43:01.541
do not know.
What I'm saying, we need to make
sure that there's more

00:43:01.541 --> 00:43:03.541
communication about that as it

00:43:05.443 --> 00:43:07.579
relates to barriers.
Again in the workforce alignment
report and in any of the

00:43:07.579 --> 00:43:09.579
programs that are funded by your

00:43:12.717 --> 00:43:15.152
department that serve
communities because were not all
going through that program.

00:43:23.194 --> 00:43:25.249
>> I will make sure that we put
double emphasis on getting that

00:43:25.249 --> 00:43:28.970
word out, thank you.
The last piece was, please
refresh my memory?
>> coordinating better with city
departments and making sure

00:43:29.265 --> 00:43:31.265
that, to share data.

00:43:45.581 --> 00:43:47.717
How are you helping each other?
Because, there are different
programs for different people

00:43:47.717 --> 00:43:49.719
from different departments but
how are we making sure that
there is open lines of

00:43:49.719 --> 00:43:51.888
communication so that we are not
duplicating efforts or trying to
figure out what we do for this

00:43:51.888 --> 00:43:53.522
particular thing when in fact
it's already been done by

00:43:56.240 --> 00:43:58.827
different departments?
>> right.
One of the questions, we are
coordinating and we have tried

00:43:59.861 --> 00:44:02.697
to coordinate with them on their
pst to help people in their
programs they can come into a

00:44:16.944 --> 00:44:19.470
class -- bam but they do not have
dedicated slot, no guarantee.
>> we do have enough slot with a

00:44:19.470 --> 00:44:20.780
don't need dedicated slots.
Especially in some other areas

00:44:21.181 --> 00:44:23.617
we do have enough slots that if,
a particular city department
would direct them to one of our

00:44:32.360 --> 00:44:34.929
academies nobody has ever been
turned away.
We are not at the point were
maxing out her classes to have

00:44:34.929 --> 00:44:36.629
dedicated slots but we do have
slots that are available and

00:44:41.769 --> 00:44:43.804
often times although slots as
much as we do outreach although
slots do not go filled.

00:44:43.804 --> 00:44:46.500
We struggle some time because
unemployment rate is so low say,
construction.

00:44:48.442 --> 00:44:50.176
If you look at the numbers
before our partnerships were a

00:44:50.744 --> 00:44:52.744
very high number and coming

00:44:54.780 --> 00:44:56.780
through the city and now parish

00:44:57.650 --> 00:44:59.318
of numbers are going down and
the numbers are coming up.

00:45:02.188 --> 00:45:03.889
We are looking for more people
from any other department to

00:45:08.494 --> 00:45:10.929
come into her classes.
There is not a boy there and
there is no need to -- bam hottie

00:45:13.365 --> 00:45:16.990
recruit?
I personally do not hear a lot
about it.

00:45:22.400 --> 00:45:24.340
I'm in close connection.
I get a lot of information from
them about so many

00:45:25.710 --> 00:45:27.710
opportunities.

00:45:28.146 --> 00:45:30.146
I never hear anything nor do I

00:45:46.797 --> 00:45:48.531
get any emails about city built.
>> we do have some of the city.

00:45:49.666 --> 00:45:51.666
Maybe we knew a better job that

00:45:54.771 --> 00:45:56.505
we have outreach to a small
access point where people can

00:46:01.311 --> 00:46:03.378
come in and those
committee-based organizations
will sit down and ask the

00:46:03.378 --> 00:46:05.114
individual what do you want to
do and in its construction they

00:46:07.984 --> 00:46:09.384
are pushed from a city built
standpoint.

00:46:10.452 --> 00:46:12.452
We use that organization.

00:46:12.654 --> 00:46:14.654
Like I said, the most-I've been

00:46:16.225 --> 00:46:18.225
in the last year has been nd-10

00:46:18.727 --> 00:46:20.582
nd-ten.
A lot of them are interested in

00:46:23.931 --> 00:46:25.666
construction.
>> I kind of think the opposite

00:46:31.540 --> 00:46:33.675
of what I'm hearing.
It's not that a lot of folks are
interested in construction I

00:46:33.675 --> 00:46:36.510
think is just construction is
the industry that continues to
get pushed more than any other
industry.

00:46:43.685 --> 00:46:45.987
That is why it's important that
we diversify.
The healthcare industry and the
city is booming.

00:46:45.987 --> 00:46:48.156
We talk about hospitality
particular and I know that there
was a program that primarily

00:46:48.156 --> 00:46:50.156
serves african-americans that

00:46:50.858 --> 00:46:52.858
requested funding from this and

00:46:53.627 --> 00:46:55.627
they were -- again what you're

00:46:55.895 --> 00:46:57.895
saying and what is happening

00:46:58.766 --> 00:47:00.766
with the department it's not

00:47:09.242 --> 00:47:11.344
assuring me that the apartment
is doing what it should as it
relates to allocating dollars to

00:47:11.344 --> 00:47:12.978
programs that are a diverse
grouping of programs that

00:47:16.115 --> 00:47:18.951
provides employment
opportunities that actually show
numbers and serving
african-americans.

00:47:22.722 --> 00:47:24.489
I'm trying to understand that.
It appears, and you can correct

00:47:25.992 --> 00:47:27.726
me if I'm wrong.
Proposals came in a committee of

00:47:29.395 --> 00:47:31.395
people random whatever look best

00:47:33.165 --> 00:47:35.165
was awarded money and other

00:47:43.800 --> 00:47:45.377
programs were kind of left out
and I guess, I'm trying to
understand how that process
worked.

00:47:45.377 --> 00:47:47.111
Were there any site visits?
Any follow-through questions to

00:47:47.512 --> 00:47:49.812
ask for data and ask for these
programs especially with those
programs specifically

00:47:50.615 --> 00:47:53.116
highlighted that they serve
african-americans and especially

00:47:54.180 --> 00:47:56.852
when -- 
[Applause]

00:48:00.690 --> 00:48:02.425
[Applause]
Especially when those programs

00:48:06.497 --> 00:48:08.965
were in specific neighborhoods.
I'm trying to understand, what
you're saying and what I know is

00:48:15.105 --> 00:48:17.340
happening is not, they do not
meet one another.
I just do not get it right now.
I need you to help me understand

00:48:17.340 --> 00:48:18.707
it.
[Applause]

00:48:20.760 --> 00:48:22.760
[Applause]

00:48:27.984 --> 00:48:30.153
As we go through the cities
process by law there certain
things that we can and can't do

00:48:30.153 --> 00:48:32.153
but to answer your question we

00:48:33.189 --> 00:48:35.689
do go through the process a
staff of enter departments read
them so my team for working with

00:48:36.900 --> 00:48:38.900
them on a day in and day out

00:48:41.498 --> 00:48:43.129
basis understand the work that
they are currently doing.

00:48:44.165 --> 00:48:46.165
And the way that it is created

00:48:47.869 --> 00:48:49.569
or scored partners that are
currently working with us we

00:48:53.275 --> 00:48:55.709
look at the work that we've done
in the past and they can get
credit for the work that they've

00:48:56.978 --> 00:48:58.378
done in the past and we can
understand.

00:48:59.714 --> 00:49:01.714
It makes it difficult or hard to

00:49:09.557 --> 00:49:11.692
fund organizations if they don't
complete the application or
something else but in most parts

00:49:11.692 --> 00:49:14.561
we try to work with throughout
the year as I keep the example

00:49:18.432 --> 00:49:20.833
with organizations that May have
or need technical assistance and
other areas that they need

00:49:35.381 --> 00:49:37.450
support in.
We are not just looking at
numbers and saying, if you write

00:49:37.450 --> 00:49:39.752
the best proposal that were
gonna give you money.
we do not work that way.
We take several factors into

00:49:39.752 --> 00:49:42.860
consideration.
>> based on some of the
decisions have been made that's

00:49:45.323 --> 00:49:47.426
it looks like to me.
Part of what you said, he told a
story have you even visited the

00:49:47.426 --> 00:49:49.428
location to get a better
understanding of exactly the
challenges that this

00:49:49.428 --> 00:49:51.128
organization was facing and that
you made some changes to the

00:49:53.164 --> 00:49:55.164
requirements to comply.

00:49:58.570 --> 00:50:00.871
I'm trying to understand why
that is not happening as it
relates to how funds are

00:50:06.945 --> 00:50:09.413
allocated by this department.
Because again, it's based on the
decisions that have been made

00:50:10.680 --> 00:50:12.416
the decisions have been made
make it clear to me that there

00:50:19.657 --> 00:50:22.910
is a disconnect.
I get, we have certain basic
requirements like you have to

00:50:23.126 --> 00:50:24.894
complete the application, many
of these organizations are doing

00:50:26.664 --> 00:50:28.664
the work the application process

00:50:40.842 --> 00:50:42.979
requirement become more
stringent where is the technical
support were is a services?

00:50:42.979 --> 00:50:45.148
It were talked about compassion
if we are talking about the most
challenging population to serve

00:50:45.148 --> 00:50:46.848
and these organizations habit
demonstrated track record of

00:50:47.482 --> 00:50:49.217
actually doing, why are we
taking away from their ability

00:50:49.852 --> 00:50:51.852
to do it?

00:50:51.920 --> 00:50:54.222
I think part of -- 
[Applause]

00:50:54.824 --> 00:50:56.824
[Applause]

00:50:59.995 --> 00:51:01.995
I know supervisor: adjust join

00:51:06.340 --> 00:51:07.702
the conversation.
What you're saying and what

00:51:08.970 --> 00:51:11.505
you're doing from my perspective
perspective, and I feel like I'm

00:51:14.676 --> 00:51:16.977
pretty smart is these two things
are not reconciling.
They do not make sense.

00:51:21.115 --> 00:51:22.849
[Applause]
And I think my goal here today

00:51:28.589 --> 00:51:31.910
is to make some changes.
I want to see the department
change.
I not here as you know to say,

00:51:31.910 --> 00:51:33.910
you need to pick this group for

00:51:35.829 --> 00:51:38.264
funding I want you to look at
the data, the numbers and make
better decisions about who is

00:51:39.366 --> 00:51:41.100
funded.
What I see, that does not exist

00:51:42.903 --> 00:51:45.304
right now.
I have a whole bunch of other
questions I want to ask but

00:51:51.644 --> 00:51:53.678
again, I want to get to members
of the public and their comments
and I want to allow my

00:51:53.678 --> 00:51:55.678
colleagues here to have an

00:51:56.810 --> 00:51:57.983
opportunity to ask questions as
well.
Again we are joined by

00:51:59.452 --> 00:52:01.152
supervisor who is the
representative from district

00:52:02.520 --> 00:52:04.520
ten.

00:52:06.192 --> 00:52:07.892
>> supervisor?
>> good morning everyone and

00:52:11.595 --> 00:52:14.310
thank you for coming.
Mr. Carr I know you the hot seat
right now but what I've been

00:52:16.969 --> 00:52:18.602
able to observe first of all, I
want to echo a few things.

00:52:25.275 --> 00:52:27.345
I want to thank the President
For stepping up and call the
hearing and really taking the

00:52:27.345 --> 00:52:29.112
concern and initiative and
pushing the city agenda forward.

00:52:38.154 --> 00:52:40.191
Thank you President.
To the representative of the
various organization within the

00:52:40.191 --> 00:52:41.858
afferent can american
organization, thank you for

00:52:45.863 --> 00:52:48.131
showing up.
One of the things that I want to
hear is that the acknowledgment

00:52:48.131 --> 00:52:50.767
that things are not working and
we need to make a correction any
change.
We need to stop doing what were

00:52:50.767 --> 00:52:52.767
doing and just address the

00:52:55.637 --> 00:52:58.173
problem.
Also, acknowledging the fact
that there are organizations

00:52:59.642 --> 00:53:01.642
that are, need technical

00:53:03.613 --> 00:53:05.348
assistance and need help to
begin to move in a more positive

00:53:07.216 --> 00:53:09.216
direction.

00:53:09.785 --> 00:53:11.386
And two, that the city recognize
the cities making this

00:53:14.790 --> 00:53:16.524
investment.
We have some success I want to

00:53:20.929 --> 00:53:22.595
acknowledge that.
In identifying telling and

00:53:23.197 --> 00:53:25.197
moving resources.

00:53:28.503 --> 00:53:30.503
But he is only one element of a

00:53:31.672 --> 00:53:33.672
very important process.

00:53:35.777 --> 00:53:37.511
I'm glad to see Dr. Marie here
because they are also funding an

00:53:40.782 --> 00:53:42.782
organization.

00:53:47.880 --> 00:53:49.489
The answer doesn't lie slowly in
one department it has to do with
the direction of the entire

00:53:53.527 --> 00:53:55.994
mayor's office and the budget.
This conversation is helpful and
well-informed my decision-making

00:54:00.133 --> 00:54:02.135
process as we go forward through
this budgetary process.
I want to show the public has

00:54:02.135 --> 00:54:04.203
just begun the mayor will be
submitting his budget and his

00:54:15.480 --> 00:54:17.183
priorities June 1st of the board
of supervisors and is a way to
let you know how the process

00:54:17.183 --> 00:54:19.517
work, he will turn it over to
the board of supervisors then we
the board to the budget

00:54:20.486 --> 00:54:22.821
committee will begin dissecting,
analyzing and making
recommendation changes and even

00:54:23.154 --> 00:54:25.154
accepting what the mayor's

00:54:26.892 --> 00:54:28.626
office is proposing.
No way I want to give the sense

00:54:36.268 --> 00:54:38.869
that this is a done deal.
What that said, we have worked
the need to be done.
All in here today is

00:54:38.869 --> 00:54:40.869
acknowledgment that what we have

00:54:42.673 --> 00:54:45.476
been doing has not benefited the
african america committee and
were gonna move in a different
direction.

00:54:53.851 --> 00:54:56.287
That's it.
>> thank you.
Mr. Carr thank you.
Right now we are going to move

00:54:56.287 --> 00:54:58.287
on to a quick presentation from

00:55:01.558 --> 00:55:03.292
the rev.
>> thank you for the opportunity

00:55:06.630 --> 00:55:08.630
to percent.

00:55:09.966 --> 00:55:11.966
 -- pre-present.

00:55:57.312 --> 00:55:59.312
President, supervisor, and

00:55:59.781 --> 00:56:01.781
supervisor kim.

00:56:03.149 --> 00:56:05.149
Members of the departments,

00:56:06.288 --> 00:56:08.288
members of the audience as

00:56:09.223 --> 00:56:11.223
President Of the san francisco

00:56:12.259 --> 00:56:14.259
branch of the national

00:56:14.561 --> 00:56:16.561
association for advancement of

00:56:20.967 --> 00:56:22.967
colored people and his pastor of

00:56:24.337 --> 00:56:26.337
third baptists church for now,

00:56:28.608 --> 00:56:30.608
41 years.

00:56:33.144 --> 00:56:35.144
I very troubled that again we

00:56:37.884 --> 00:56:39.884
have made the african-american

00:56:40.219 --> 00:56:42.219
community a paralysis of an

00:56:45.958 --> 00:56:47.958
analysis.

00:56:50.996 --> 00:56:52.996
I think that the -- john brink

00:56:56.835 --> 00:56:58.835
water very ably describe our

00:56:59.503 --> 00:57:01.503
predicament.

00:57:03.342 --> 00:57:05.342
When he prayed one day knowledge

00:57:07.412 --> 00:57:09.412
we asked not, knowledge about

00:57:14.452 --> 00:57:16.452
has lent, but lord, the wills

00:57:17.521 --> 00:57:19.521
there lies are bitter need give

00:57:21.525 --> 00:57:23.525
us to build above the deep

00:57:26.930 --> 00:57:28.930
intent, the deed, the d.

00:57:31.868 --> 00:57:33.868
The deed.

00:57:37.207 --> 00:57:39.207
My very direct comment before I

00:57:43.545 --> 00:57:45.280
sit down this city doesn't have
the will to do anything right by

00:57:49.251 --> 00:57:51.251
the black community.

00:57:55.157 --> 00:57:57.157
We do whatever you want to do.

00:57:58.844 --> 00:57:59.997
If you want to make this a
sanctuary city as we ought we to

00:58:01.563 --> 00:58:03.563
it.

00:58:08.670 --> 00:58:10.404
We want to give amenities,
benefits and opportunities for

00:58:11.840 --> 00:58:13.840
the committees we do it.

00:58:19.914 --> 00:58:21.615
But now we must be reminded that
what we are doing with today

00:58:23.117 --> 00:58:25.117
this lack of will is something

00:58:26.253 --> 00:58:28.253
that was fashioned many years

00:58:29.560 --> 00:58:31.560
ago.

00:58:36.296 --> 00:58:38.696
in 1948 immediately one
according to one arthur when
they didn't need the niekro

00:58:41.168 --> 00:58:43.168
anymore they didn't need us

00:58:45.572 --> 00:58:47.306
anymore to unload the ships they
didn't need us anymore to build

00:58:50.142 --> 00:58:52.944
the ships they didn't need us
anymore to provide a personnel

00:58:55.748 --> 00:58:57.815
for the railroadunload the ships they didn't
need us anymore to build the
ships they didn't need us

00:58:57.815 --> 00:59:00.252
anymore to provide a personnel
for the railroadanymore to unload the ships they
didn't need us anymore to build

00:59:00.252 --> 00:59:02.655
the ships they didn't need us
anymore to provide a personnel
for the railroadunload the ships they didn't

00:59:02.655 --> 00:59:05.230
need us anymore to build the
ships they didn't need us
anymore to provide a personnel

00:59:05.230 --> 00:59:07.192
for the railroadanymore to unload the ships they
didn't need us anymore to build
the ships they didn't need us

00:59:07.192 --> 00:59:09.494
anymore to provide a personnel
for the railroadunload the ships they didn't
need us anymore to build the

00:59:09.494 --> 00:59:11.964
ships they didn't need us
anymore to provide a personnel
for the railroadanymore to unload the ships they

00:59:11.964 --> 00:59:14.132
didn't need us anymore to build
the ships they didn't need us
anymore to provide a personnel

00:59:14.132 --> 00:59:16.234
for the railroad league and they
said they couldn't trust black
folks who fight in the front

00:59:16.234 --> 00:59:19.169
line to fear that we would
affect to the enemy.
And they even set that we didn't
have the sense neither the

00:59:23.740 --> 00:59:25.740
brains to fly an airplane.

00:59:26.744 --> 00:59:28.744
But that's how we got the airmen

00:59:42.658 --> 00:59:44.693
created by elinor roosevelt.
What does that have to do with
vision?
It has everything to do about

00:59:44.693 --> 00:59:46.797
it.
For as we moved from an
industrialized to communication

00:59:46.797 --> 00:59:49.165
information age they didn't need
the niekro anymore.

00:59:51.768 --> 00:59:53.768
and in san francisco we began to

00:59:56.639 --> 00:59:58.639
reflect, mayor the same kind of

01:00:00.276 --> 01:00:02.478
discriminatory actione anymore.
And in san francisco we began to
reflect, mayor the same kind of

01:00:02.478 --> 01:00:04.680
discriminatory actiong anymore.
And in san francisco we began to
reflect, mayor the same kind of

01:00:04.680 --> 01:00:06.716
discriminatory actionr anymore.
And in san francisco we began to
reflect, mayor the same kind of

01:00:06.716 --> 01:00:09.850
discriminatory action
o anymore.

01:00:09.850 --> 01:00:11.652
And in san francisco we began to
reflect, mayor the same kind of
discriminatory action against
black folks.

01:00:11.652 --> 01:00:13.652
And my brother, you don't carry

01:00:13.654 --> 01:00:15.654
this burden.

01:00:19.962 --> 01:00:21.694
There is collective systemic the
wrong that have been perpetrated

01:00:23.899 --> 01:00:26.700
against blacks and we have
departmental heads over here,

01:00:29.437 --> 01:00:31.437
you don't talk to each other

01:00:32.206 --> 01:00:34.206
you'll come to the community you

01:00:36.310 --> 01:00:38.440
connect with the people even
people in organization behavior

01:00:40.648 --> 01:00:42.648
friends the experts say that 80%

01:00:46.287 --> 01:00:48.210
of success is relational.
We have shut it black folks into

01:00:52.826 --> 01:00:54.560
enclaves of hopelessness.
And I recommend that all of us

01:01:00.600 --> 01:01:03.534
would read a little book and
 -- all this technology, get some
of the old copies of it.

01:01:07.172 --> 01:01:09.172
Lord of the flies.

01:01:14.412 --> 01:01:16.412
And even according to megan's

01:01:21.987 --> 01:01:24.454
they editor of the baltimore sun
lead editor as he called them
that moron that's in the white

01:01:26.558 --> 01:01:28.558
house would read lord of the

01:01:33.632 --> 01:01:35.331
flies.
He would benefit from a cliff

01:01:36.768 --> 01:01:38.768
note course and discover that

01:01:42.108 --> 01:01:44.108
those pristine, proper british

01:01:50.847 --> 01:01:52.515
choirboys during world war ii
and unfortunate that plane

01:01:54.118 --> 01:01:56.118
crashed in the south pacific.

01:01:57.421 --> 01:01:59.122
A pilot died.
Those choir boards were left

01:02:04.795 --> 01:02:06.795
there to their own devices.

01:02:08.330 --> 01:02:10.330
They began to worship and

01:02:11.401 --> 01:02:13.936
ultimately they evolved into
savages.

01:02:16.772 --> 01:02:18.507
And destroying each other.
Give Mr. Trump and allis score

01:02:25.514 --> 01:02:28.160
hearts and cousins out here to
would read that book they would
know that the hopelessness that

01:02:30.510 --> 01:02:31.786
is expressed in chicago,
illinois in the south and west

01:02:34.389 --> 01:02:36.757
sides only came about because
they have been relegated to

01:02:38.460 --> 01:02:40.460
being an island.

01:02:47.235 --> 01:02:49.937
Of black -- lack of opportunity,
healthcare, education, of
housing, cultural celebration
etc.

01:02:55.109 --> 01:02:56.543
My friends I have my little
appeal to you.

01:02:58.779 --> 01:03:00.347
Let's stop this nonsense of
studying black folks.

01:03:09.288 --> 01:03:11.657
Let's stop these hearings lets
us stop the paralysis of
analysis and work with lovingly

01:03:11.658 --> 01:03:13.658
and respectfully our staff.

01:03:17.162 --> 01:03:18.898
In all departments hold them
accountable that they would do

01:03:20.200 --> 01:03:22.200
the right thing.

01:03:26.572 --> 01:03:28.974
And if they do the right thing,
we will not come back here
regurgitating the fact that we

01:03:30.576 --> 01:03:32.310
had an unfinished agenda, and
outmigration test fork and are

01:03:36.749 --> 01:03:38.917
hearing that's what's call to
discuss the black, the colored,

01:03:40.885 --> 01:03:42.885
problem.

01:03:50.896 --> 01:03:53.310
Less just do it.
And once we do it and stop
talking about it, stop chewing

01:03:53.310 --> 01:03:54.698
about it stomp editorial about
it and make sure that it's

01:03:57.435 --> 01:03:59.435
published to the world that san

01:04:02.707 --> 01:04:04.875
francisco is doing a new thing
and it's really going to be the
city of st.

01:04:05.900 --> 01:04:07.900
Francis were all persons will be

01:04:08.512 --> 01:04:10.512
respected have a job celebrate

01:04:18.655 --> 01:04:20.757
their culture and enjoy the
amenities of the city and be
able to say as I always say,

01:04:20.757 --> 01:04:23.259
will be able to say I'm black
and I'm proud, I'm brown I'm

01:04:27.264 --> 01:04:28.998
sound, I'm yellow and a mellow,
I dread but I'm dead white but

01:04:30.467 --> 01:04:32.467
I'm all right.

01:04:34.202 --> 01:04:36.202
I gave but I'm godly I'm

01:04:39.275 --> 01:04:41.275
straight but I'm sensible I a

01:04:43.212 --> 01:04:44.946
woman but unwise I an immigrant
but I'm industrious when we stop

01:04:53.655 --> 01:04:56.123
just talking people will be able
to say that and we won't have
another hearing to come back and
analyze the problem.

01:04:56.123 --> 01:04:58.592
>> thank you rev.
Brown.
[Applause]

01:05:01.896 --> 01:05:03.896
[Applause]

01:05:05.999 --> 01:05:07.734
>> thank you.
Thank you rev.
Brown.

01:05:17.445 --> 01:05:19.546
Supervisor kim?
We are having church today.
Thank you rev.

01:05:21.549 --> 01:05:23.160
Brown!
Supervisor kim?

01:05:25.886 --> 01:05:27.620
>> thank you.
My parents will be happy that I

01:05:37.464 --> 01:05:40.100
went to church this morning.
I want to first of all before we
began public comment make brief
statements.

01:05:40.100 --> 01:05:42.568
The present and the supervisor
articulated what were trying to
do here today but I do want to

01:05:53.379 --> 01:05:55.414
thank our two supervisors for
leading the hearing.
I think here in san francisco we

01:05:55.414 --> 01:05:57.449
often pat ourselves on the back
for being one of the most
progressive cities in this

01:05:57.449 --> 01:05:59.585
country and our social policies,
we make it work whether it's
around century cities as rev.

01:05:59.585 --> 01:06:02.860
Pointed out for gay marriage but
when it comes to economics, and

01:06:04.122 --> 01:06:06.122
in equity we are far behind even

01:06:07.893 --> 01:06:10.270
the cities that we think that
were ahead of.
I'm highlighting the hearing

01:06:15.300 --> 01:06:17.636
that's coming up in equity when
we read about cities like
ferguson we think that san

01:06:18.369 --> 01:06:20.103
francisco is different but we
found the researches that were

01:06:20.637 --> 01:06:22.637
similarly and proportionally and

01:06:28.512 --> 01:06:30.947
passionate and african-american
committees when our an equitable
system as a way of paying for

01:06:37.988 --> 01:06:40.190
government services.
We live in a city that has the
fastest growing income gap in

01:06:40.190 --> 01:06:41.924
the country, a well staff that
is comparable to the country of

01:06:46.795 --> 01:06:49.231
rwanda and in a gap which is one
of the largest in the country
here in the state of california

01:06:57.600 --> 01:06:59.175
african americas in the south
and on the east coast I think we
have a lot of work to be done

01:06:59.175 --> 01:07:01.509
and so I just want to thank the
President For calling this
hearing I also represent a

01:07:02.578 --> 01:07:04.345
district with actually the
second largest african-american

01:07:09.618 --> 01:07:12.860
community here in san francisco
and I think that it's incredibly
important that we work not just

01:07:16.958 --> 01:07:19.693
towards feeding people and
housing people but that were
also working to employ people as
well.

01:07:21.296 --> 01:07:23.630
I look forward to supporting
these efforts to not just make

01:07:29.771 --> 01:07:32.506
this a hearing but make this
action in the budget process
this coming next two months.
Thank you.

01:07:32.840 --> 01:07:34.241
>> thank you supervisor can.
Supervisor:?

01:07:36.544 --> 01:07:38.544
>> there's something I want to

01:07:43.170 --> 01:07:44.749
highlight we have director car
here today the phase receiving

01:07:50.657 --> 01:07:52.893
the ire of our frustration but I
also want to be cautious and
just acknowledge that director

01:07:52.893 --> 01:07:54.660
of the department is not here.
That this process has been very

01:07:56.763 --> 01:07:58.763
knowledgeable for us and

01:08:02.434 --> 01:08:04.437
unfortunately for whatever
reason they're unable to join us
us.

01:08:04.437 --> 01:08:06.171
He did is give us notice at a
time but I think it's a little

01:08:13.311 --> 01:08:15.414
bit of slight import judgment.
He was the one that has a direct
correction to the job and

01:08:15.414 --> 01:08:17.983
employers and to the ones that
are hiring so I just want you to

01:08:17.983 --> 01:08:19.851
be mindful that when you're
doing your public comment this

01:08:21.190 --> 01:08:23.190
man is here for fulfilling his

01:08:33.331 --> 01:08:35.331
job the leadership is not.

01:08:37.735 --> 01:08:39.503
I want to make sure that we are
certainly informed that everyone

01:08:41.172 --> 01:08:42.639
understands how the process
actually works.

01:08:43.875 --> 01:08:45.307
Thank you.
>> thank you.

01:08:50.381 --> 01:08:52.815
With that, I want to also
mention that the leadership of
the department is employed by

01:09:00.570 --> 01:09:02.570
the member were going to hold

01:09:05.795 --> 01:09:07.797
dollars accountable as it
relates to this issue.
You being here in the comments

01:09:07.797 --> 01:09:09.797
that you make are going to be

01:09:15.171 --> 01:09:17.572
helpful with that decision.
With that I will open it to
public comments I will call a

01:09:20.142 --> 01:09:22.644
few names at a time so you can
just line up to your right.
Starting with anthony.

01:09:28.500 --> 01:09:30.500
John mohammed, marcus bailey,

01:09:36.240 --> 01:09:38.126
queen vanessa banks, ken
johnson.
You do not to speak in that
order but just come forward.

01:09:38.126 --> 01:09:40.160
Right away.
We have a lot of speakers.

01:09:40.695 --> 01:09:42.695
Regal hamilton.

01:09:45.265 --> 01:09:47.265
Kimi.

01:09:48.703 --> 01:09:50.703
Rafael newport humid.

01:09:55.743 --> 01:09:58.178
Mr. Johnson?
>> good morning supervisors my
people came to san francisco

01:10:04.685 --> 01:10:07.119
from the south and built the
fillmore into what was a black
market street which is called

01:10:07.421 --> 01:10:09.421
the west and the city destroyed

01:10:12.825 --> 01:10:14.461
that.
When you destroy a small

01:10:16.496 --> 01:10:18.496
business you destroy the role

01:10:25.838 --> 01:10:27.572
model for young people.
Can I get some respect her, can

01:10:36.181 --> 01:10:38.382
y'all -- bam we are listening.
>> you said you want to change
the direction I think you can

01:10:38.382 --> 01:10:40.382
change the director by stopping

01:10:43.689 --> 01:10:45.757
the sale of the addition and
turning that into training
program so that we can train

01:10:45.757 --> 01:10:47.757
some of these youngsters and

01:10:52.960 --> 01:10:54.198
some of these skills that it
takes to run the addition.
I was at a recent city meeting

01:10:54.198 --> 01:10:56.198
with are going to build 30 new

01:10:56.601 --> 01:10:58.335
hotels now those hotels along
with all this other construction

01:11:00.671 --> 01:11:03.390
their building.
All those constructions are
gonna need people to run the

01:11:10.948 --> 01:11:13.450
kitchens to do the janitorial
all those types of jobs can be
created and trained in that
addition.

01:11:13.450 --> 01:11:16.352
Instead of selling to somebody
that don't -- sign it for another

01:11:20.560 --> 01:11:22.560
purpose.

01:11:24.494 --> 01:11:26.494
 -- sell it.

01:11:27.297 --> 01:11:29.297
>> thank you Mr. Johnson.

01:11:38.940 --> 01:11:41.443
Next speaker please?
>> hello.
I'm the director of committee
programs and workforce of the

01:11:41.443 --> 01:11:43.443
women's committee clinic where

01:11:45.800 --> 01:11:48.490
we have a 20 years history of
workforce programming.
This month were celebrating ten

01:11:50.485 --> 01:11:52.186
years of our western addition
that was created to meet the

01:11:57.250 --> 01:11:59.928
workforce and health needs in
the western addition.
That would not have been
possible without the critical

01:12:01.529 --> 01:12:02.963
support of the supervisor and
cheryl davis.

01:12:13.574 --> 01:12:15.910
I'm very thankful to be here.
From the onset we've known that
are poached needs to be
exceptional.

01:12:15.910 --> 01:12:18.780
We have always paid our
participants to receive training
we prioritize black staff we

01:12:18.780 --> 01:12:19.679
engage workforce development and
our program is always

01:12:21.348 --> 01:12:23.348
intentionally focus on depth

01:12:26.787 --> 01:12:28.521
versus volume.
We have shaped our programming

01:12:30.390 --> 01:12:32.910
to our participants knowing that
our participants have primary

01:12:35.695 --> 01:12:37.695
caretakers and they have also

01:12:42.168 --> 01:12:44.170
been victims of gun violence.
In our program we struggle
together and partnership that

01:12:44.170 --> 01:12:46.170
burden is just not on the

01:12:53.446 --> 01:12:55.514
participants so we work with
them to figure out how to
incorporate the fact that you

01:12:55.514 --> 01:12:57.615
might have just been jumped on
the way to work but he also have
to learn how to build an

01:12:57.615 --> 01:12:58.916
electronic health worker system
today.

01:13:05.624 --> 01:13:07.792
We also taken acid-based and
wisdom-based focus because we
know that our participants are

01:13:07.792 --> 01:13:09.895
some of the most brilliant and
innovative folks that we've ever
work with.

01:13:11.663 --> 01:13:13.397
And we also have a lot of the
answers a lot of questions are

01:13:17.734 --> 01:13:20.705
reposing today.
We are working abound that
workforce development so they
know how to go into the

01:13:27.311 --> 01:13:29.513
healthcare setting.
And work in teams and also to
deal with the racism that are

01:13:29.513 --> 01:13:31.881
play folks experience in these
settings.

01:13:35.850 --> 01:13:36.818
I wanted to say that that works
our graduates have been employed

01:13:37.487 --> 01:13:40.455
since he completed our program.
And have read the ranks of
health worker.

01:13:42.658 --> 01:13:44.658
Coordinators and our first

01:13:46.563 --> 01:13:48.563
graduate now is also there.

01:13:53.169 --> 01:13:55.169
>> thank you.

01:13:55.438 --> 01:13:57.438
Good morning.

01:14:02.411 --> 01:14:04.879
i also employed at the women's
committee clinic and I actually
run the western addition health

01:14:05.613 --> 01:14:07.613
training.

01:14:07.716 --> 01:14:09.716
The only piece I want to add

01:14:10.185 --> 01:14:12.185
that she spoke to is the peace

01:14:12.853 --> 01:14:14.853
around desperate work.

01:14:17.225 --> 01:14:18.926
And the young women that I work
with in the last three years

01:14:27.401 --> 01:14:29.604
I've been running the program
have faced incredible barriers
to just being in our program and

01:14:29.604 --> 01:14:31.304
that is included issues around
childcare, domestic violence,

01:14:37.778 --> 01:14:39.947
self-esteem and even something
as what we've been calling basic
is knowing how to balance a

01:14:39.947 --> 01:14:41.947
checkbook or what to do once he

01:14:45.986 --> 01:14:48.522
finally get that first check
putting it in the bank.
I do not have direct deposit,
can I get my check?

01:14:48.522 --> 01:14:50.522
Will someone stood on my way
home.
In addition to that which is

01:14:54.360 --> 01:14:56.930
great I have been able to
continue to work with the young

01:15:06.138 --> 01:15:07.872
women who our program.
I still get calls from the young

01:15:14.379 --> 01:15:17.148
women that we work with and ask
my dad just got hit by a car and
died.
I need to support my siblings do

01:15:31.396 --> 01:15:33.897
something really painful and me.
I have worked with small numbers
of young women and continue to

01:15:42.139 --> 01:15:44.642
mentor them and address the
needs that keep coming up even
once they have gone past our
program.

01:15:44.642 --> 01:15:46.642
In addition looking into adam a

01:15:49.580 --> 01:15:51.682
alumni program so they can help
each other and support each
other and network with each

01:15:51.682 --> 01:15:53.682
other so that is just not on us.

01:15:59.189 --> 01:16:01.189
Thank you.

01:16:05.395 --> 01:16:07.128
>> just a quick announcement I
learned that our overflow room

01:16:11.366 --> 01:16:13.340
at 263 is now full the clerk has
opened up north court as a

01:16:15.271 --> 01:16:17.500
second over flow room.
These members are listening and

01:16:22.440 --> 01:16:24.213
some folks want to exit the
chamber because you spoken and
watching the overflow room so

01:16:24.213 --> 01:16:26.213
other folks can come in to speak

01:16:27.783 --> 01:16:29.449
you're welcome to do that.
If you are a member of the

01:16:33.922 --> 01:16:35.589
public and you want to speak
please listen for your name.

01:16:38.493 --> 01:16:40.260
>> good morning.
I anthony harden and I'm here to

01:16:42.997 --> 01:16:44.997
express my concerns.

01:16:50.938 --> 01:16:52.938
Unemployment -- this is important

01:16:55.443 --> 01:16:57.443
to me in my committee because it

01:16:59.913 --> 01:17:01.913
it -- we having a lot of voices

01:17:03.784 --> 01:17:05.518
are calling is evil to do wrong
that they used open we have the

01:17:08.588 --> 01:17:10.588
voice a gang bang some that

01:17:13.593 --> 01:17:15.294
 -- divorce, poverty, anger and
unemployment has been a voice

01:17:17.463 --> 01:17:19.463
that allows a person to have

01:17:22.535 --> 01:17:25.200
opportunity to express himself
and become vital members of the
committee and really grow and be

01:17:26.339 --> 01:17:28.339
successful in life.

01:17:32.478 --> 01:17:34.679
I think we must support this
because the other voices are
calling us israel.

01:17:36.247 --> 01:17:37.983
We see it going on today.
Is not been address and I think

01:17:41.885 --> 01:17:43.988
it needs to be addressed.
There is a strong voice in our
committee.

01:17:45.423 --> 01:17:47.423
There's only one voice.

01:17:47.724 --> 01:17:49.724
We need to support that because

01:17:51.696 --> 01:17:53.430
it is a battle.
You are sitting up in here but

01:17:58.669 --> 01:18:00.669
out there, there is a battle.

01:18:02.973 --> 01:18:04.774
We are asking to support that,
thank you.
>> thank you.

01:18:09.680 --> 01:18:12.800
Next speaker.
>> good morning I'm john
mohammed and I'm here on behalf

01:18:26.863 --> 01:18:29.432
of -- I'm a resident as well.
I look in the audience and I see
diversity that's what san
francisco is.

01:18:29.432 --> 01:18:31.900
It's a tour city everybody loves
san francisco everybody wants to
come to san francisco but what

01:18:32.635 --> 01:18:34.369
happens when you targeted
community or communities and you

01:18:34.637 --> 01:18:36.637
take funding from them?

01:18:40.841 --> 01:18:42.843
You're throwing a rock and upon
and when you throw the rock
there's a ripple effect.

01:18:42.843 --> 01:18:44.843
That comes in the form of crime.

01:18:47.810 --> 01:18:49.550
In the form of homicide but
these crimes are not going to
take place in a committee there

01:18:50.819 --> 01:18:52.553
being deprived to take place
once upon the are going to take

01:19:00.128 --> 01:19:02.462
place what is it, mill valley,
russian hills pacific heights.
That's where the money is.

01:19:09.360 --> 01:19:11.138
If you take the money from
bayview, from the mission
district were black and brown

01:19:11.138 --> 01:19:13.138
and even poor white people live,

01:19:17.100 --> 01:19:19.546
what you things can happen.
You're messing with the
opportunity for the people to
provide for their families.

01:19:19.546 --> 01:19:21.546
It's a ripple effect.

01:19:24.784 --> 01:19:27.354
I'm not here to ask you to give
us more money.
I'm here to ask you to think
because the city is going to be

01:19:27.354 --> 01:19:29.288
affected by funding being cut
off.
I don't understand that it

01:19:32.692 --> 01:19:33.992
reminds me of egypt and the
bible.

01:19:35.995 --> 01:19:37.729
A federal was like that too.
He give the children of israel

01:19:39.197 --> 01:19:41.197
nothing.

01:19:45.471 --> 01:19:48.720
But guy destroyed egypt best
best-I've been based on him
depriving God's people.

01:19:48.273 --> 01:19:50.273
Here we are right here.

01:20:01.553 --> 01:20:03.621
You can deprive the black and
brown committee but all people.
San francisco is diverse.

01:20:03.621 --> 01:20:05.354
Asian people, latino people,
white people who live in these

01:20:11.162 --> 01:20:13.830
little -- low community.
Don't stop the funding don't
like farrell.
don't be like that.

01:20:19.603 --> 01:20:21.603
>> thank you.

01:20:26.777 --> 01:20:28.777
Next speaker please.

01:20:29.246 --> 01:20:31.246
>> thank you President.

01:20:35.418 --> 01:20:37.686
I'm the President Of united
local two we represent 12,000
workers and hotel and

01:20:38.210 --> 01:20:40.210
hospitality in san francisco.

01:20:41.957 --> 01:20:44.393
I'm here to speak on behalf of
our unit and our members and a
program that we are currently

01:20:45.794 --> 01:20:47.794
working on in partnership with

01:20:49.197 --> 01:20:52.320
the hotel industry.
I want to say what it means to
be a member of our unit.

01:20:55.104 --> 01:20:56.837
To land a union job in san
francisco is a game changer for

01:20:58.700 --> 01:20:59.741
a working person.
It means that you have access to

01:21:03.312 --> 01:21:05.460
family healthcare fully paid.
You have steady income, you have

01:21:08.315 --> 01:21:10.500
job security a steady schedule
at work you have a penchant for

01:21:12.854 --> 01:21:14.553
retirement.
And that's a result of many

01:21:17.190 --> 01:21:18.926
years of struggle and fighting
to achieve that kind of standard

01:21:20.393 --> 01:21:22.393
and much of that work was done

01:21:26.100 --> 01:21:28.468
our union was really built by
african-american workers.
We have also seen a decline in

01:21:29.270 --> 01:21:31.400
our membership of
african-american workers and on

01:21:35.742 --> 01:21:37.443
this point, while the union and
the industry fight over many

01:21:39.311 --> 01:21:41.311
things on this point there is no

01:21:41.815 --> 01:21:43.514
space between us.
We are fully committed we are

01:21:49.289 --> 01:21:51.789
fully committed to a program to
bring african-american workers
into the hotel entry street and

01:21:51.924 --> 01:21:53.659
union jobs.
To that and we been partnering

01:21:58.998 --> 01:22:00.732
with a program quality and
hospitality that over the last 3

01:22:05.470 --> 01:22:08.600
or 4 years has actually placed
members of the african committee
and hotel jobs not just trained

01:22:12.578 --> 01:22:14.979
and place but retained we had a
program through go back to
mentor, retain members in this

01:22:16.248 --> 01:22:18.248
committee and hotel jobs we are

01:22:19.149 --> 01:22:21.149
committed to that program.

01:22:22.887 --> 01:22:24.587
We are committed we will put the
resources necessary into that

01:22:27.190 --> 01:22:29.190
but, we can be doing a whole lot

01:22:32.497 --> 01:22:33.930
more with the partnership.
>> thank you.

01:22:36.000 --> 01:22:38.000
Next speaker please.

01:22:41.380 --> 01:22:42.739
Thank you.
Thank you very much for next

01:22:45.609 --> 01:22:47.609
speaker.

01:22:48.780 --> 01:22:49.812
>> hi.
Too bad the district supervisor

01:22:54.349 --> 01:22:56.886
had to leave because you need to
this message that I'm sure
somebody will relate back to her
her.

01:22:56.886 --> 01:22:58.886
I'm a 47 woman from san

01:23:06.696 --> 01:23:08.698
francisco.
First thing is you need to quit
picking insurance we want to

01:23:08.698 --> 01:23:10.430
work with in the city.
And I'm talking about the black

01:23:10.900 --> 01:23:12.900
folks their imposition because

01:23:14.770 --> 01:23:16.938
some of you all are in the
cabinet and some of us are still
out like me.

01:23:17.740 --> 01:23:20.410
I'm one of them.
I've been out here organizing
and doing stuff in this

01:23:22.109 --> 01:23:23.844
community sure they Miss You
know, inviting me to the back to

01:23:26.782 --> 01:23:28.449
the future I haven't heard you
when I get invited to this

01:23:29.550 --> 01:23:31.285
minute girlfriend?
And back to what I'm trying to

01:23:33.221 --> 01:23:34.488
say, I'm not gonna keep saying
it.

01:23:36.357 --> 01:23:37.891
This is a great opportunity and
to the black folks.

01:23:40.795 --> 01:23:42.795
In the city in position don't

01:23:46.300 --> 01:23:47.934
start doing right everything you
touch everything you see

01:23:49.136 --> 01:23:51.838
everything you do is going to go
all bad and put that in caesar's

01:23:59.460 --> 01:24:01.214
name.
Talk about leadership she has
not gotten a letter should be

01:24:01.214 --> 01:24:02.947
there she does support my thing
i did last year for the kids in

01:24:05.819 --> 01:24:08.287
the park.
You might slow me down but you
will never stop me because I'm

01:24:08.587 --> 01:24:10.587
thinking off the summer again

01:24:12.291 --> 01:24:14.291
and hunter points.

01:24:15.895 --> 01:24:17.896
I have a lot of supporters.
And none of them are city
officials.

01:24:25.503 --> 01:24:27.972
>> thank you.
>> before moved to next speaker
I want asked member the comment

01:24:30.375 --> 01:24:32.710
if you can refrain from the
clotting during the time that
member of the public are

01:24:33.143 --> 01:24:34.779
speaking so that we can all here
have to say that would be

01:24:38.160 --> 01:24:40.117
appreciated.
If you very much.
Mr. Hamilton, thank you.

01:24:43.288 --> 01:24:45.722
>> hi.
I'm a native of san francisco
born and raised in the western

01:24:47.792 --> 01:24:49.559
addition.
One of the things that I've been

01:24:50.428 --> 01:24:52.428
very frustrated with was the

01:24:52.897 --> 01:24:54.897
office of economic even before

01:25:01.380 --> 01:25:03.339
Mr. Carr was -- the mindset is
going to be pretty much
impossible to change a lot of

01:25:03.907 --> 01:25:05.907
the stuff unless leadership

01:25:08.143 --> 01:25:09.879
changes their mindset in 1000
meeting of how we can change it

01:25:12.649 --> 01:25:15.170
the innovated idea that the
committee brings a fourth I
still haven't seen anything

01:25:16.820 --> 01:25:19.254
change.
It is very frustrating to work
with a population that we all

01:25:24.227 --> 01:25:25.927
work with who are adults and
them off to people where the

01:25:26.861 --> 01:25:28.861
program is amazing but the

01:25:30.666 --> 01:25:32.434
actual box after second is
impossible to get these people

01:25:36.938 --> 01:25:39.339
placed into jobs that are really
for the future or can support
them in a way where they can

01:25:39.374 --> 01:25:41.108
really provide for the family.
The programs are set in this box

01:25:57.657 --> 01:25:59.657
were giving them

01:29:49.579 --> 01:29:51.980
thank you.
And if you can submit your
comments and also to the members

01:29:57.850 --> 01:29:59.155
of the public, I have a pile of
cards here if I recall your
names if you can hold off.

01:29:59.155 --> 01:30:01.155
I want to call the cards in the

01:30:06.928 --> 01:30:09.330
order that we receive them to
give individuals an opportunity
to speak as well.
If you can keep your comments

01:30:09.330 --> 01:30:11.650
for two minute.
We have a long way to go and I

01:30:11.834 --> 01:30:14.302
would really appreciate that.
With that, you can submit your
comments that would be helpful.

01:30:22.110 --> 01:30:24.514
Thank you.
Unfortunately, we cannot do
that.
But thank you for your service

01:30:24.514 --> 01:30:26.409
and we really appreciate you
being here today.

01:30:30.251 --> 01:30:32.251
I will call the next card.

01:30:34.155 --> 01:30:36.155
Mattie scott, margin tucker.

01:30:51.672 --> 01:30:53.572
Jesse martinez.
And kevin carol.

01:30:59.645 --> 01:31:02.414
Next speaker please.
If you heard your name and dozen
auto what order just come on
forward.

01:31:16.620 --> 01:31:18.620
Ms. Scott?

01:31:20.320 --> 01:31:22.320
Good morning.

01:31:23.235 --> 01:31:25.235
Supervising kim and the

01:31:26.238 --> 01:31:28.238
audience.

01:31:32.770 --> 01:31:34.745
I would like to thank you and
all of you are present for
allowing us to talk on this
issue.

01:31:38.516 --> 01:31:40.516
I'm the -- we support individuals

01:31:40.884 --> 01:31:42.884
and families and their families

01:31:46.991 --> 01:31:48.959
are impacted by violence with a
gun.
The city of san francisco now

01:31:52.296 --> 01:31:54.296
feels like jim crow is in san

01:31:54.932 --> 01:31:56.932
francisco the barriers of racism

01:32:00.700 --> 01:32:02.706
choose to ignore the barriers
that are taking place in our
communities.

01:32:02.706 --> 01:32:04.706
Who will help make the city

01:32:05.800 --> 01:32:07.800
great with diversity and who

01:32:07.944 --> 01:32:09.944
help the city make the city who

01:32:10.513 --> 01:32:12.815
we love.
It doesn't feel like diversity

01:32:23.124 --> 01:32:25.261
anymore or hayes valley.
And even in the bayview, I have
a deep concern for a black and

01:32:25.261 --> 01:32:27.261
brown populations which are

01:32:28.330 --> 01:32:30.398
diminishing.
I just placed to mothers whose
children were murdered this year

01:32:30.398 --> 01:32:32.100
outside the city of san
francisco because they had

01:32:38.307 --> 01:32:40.307
nowhere else to go.

01:32:41.435 --> 01:32:43.577
It's a sad state and a disgrace
and I know that were a city that
can do better with the
leadership that we had.
I appreciate you so many -- so

01:32:45.515 --> 01:32:47.181
much.
And I know that we can do

01:32:48.682 --> 01:32:50.417
better.
Now is the time to roll up our

01:32:51.486 --> 01:32:52.819
sleeves stop blaming one
another.

01:32:55.590 --> 01:32:57.590
I'm proud to be black to the

01:33:04.997 --> 01:33:07.799
future.
And all of us are working hard
in this leadership.
It takes all of us.

01:33:08.836 --> 01:33:10.570
This is about all of us.
Let's leave here with a plan of

01:33:14.174 --> 01:33:16.174
action that can help support.

01:33:18.912 --> 01:33:21.780
To get a gun onto someone hand
to help those who suffer from
mental illness.

01:33:22.815 --> 01:33:24.249
Thank you.
>> thank you.

01:33:24.817 --> 01:33:26.817

She lives in public housing she

01:34:06.570 --> 01:34:08.570
has a young friend who is

01:34:08.526 --> 01:34:10.526
working for us and making

01:34:19.403 --> 01:34:21.471
$48,000 a year.
She has a right now has been
increased sixfold to run $1500 a

01:34:21.471 --> 01:34:23.172
month and public housing.
She came to us seeking health

01:34:30.980 --> 01:34:33.150
care for her son.
Cover california was going to
increase the rates of $2000 were

01:34:33.150 --> 01:34:34.616
able to bring them down to run
500 a month.

01:34:42.458 --> 01:34:44.560
But let's do the simple math.
A third of that goes to taxes
and half of that I believe

01:34:44.560 --> 01:34:46.560
leaves or $3000 have that goes

01:34:51.100 --> 01:34:53.202
to rent another $500 goes to her
medical care leader less than
$1000 to sustain yourself for

01:34:53.202 --> 01:34:55.202
the rest of the month.

01:34:57.572 --> 01:34:59.340
Where is the incentive to work?
As we create these policies were

01:35:00.442 --> 01:35:02.442
not taken into account the work

01:35:03.311 --> 01:35:05.311
and it's a happen at the top.

01:35:08.550 --> 01:35:10.283
It is very difficult very
challenging but I just challenge

01:35:12.687 --> 01:35:14.388
the city to think about this
when you policy that came to

01:35:15.723 --> 01:35:18.224
bear is about child care or
providing childcare for homeless
families.

01:35:21.695 --> 01:35:24.597
But we are working families who
have children in school for
afterschool care.

01:35:31.438 --> 01:35:33.380
That's an oxymoron.
>> thank you very much.

01:35:36.643 --> 01:35:38.643
Next speaker.

01:35:40.712 --> 01:35:42.447
>> before we continue.
I need to remind the public here

01:35:46.180 --> 01:35:48.120
we need to maintain no applause
please in the chamber.
The support they want to get to

01:35:48.120 --> 01:35:50.120
speaker please displayed

01:36:02.134 --> 01:36:04.303
visually we will keep on track.
>> a part of that is that it's
an effort to get to the here and

01:36:04.303 --> 01:36:07.238
I know a lot of of you waited
patiently we want to try to
allow everyone an opportunity.
Next speaker please.

01:36:23.854 --> 01:36:25.854
>> hi am a supervisor

01:36:28.159 --> 01:36:30.294
my heart
is kind of beating because I
have 20 employees that I work

01:36:30.294 --> 01:36:32.563
with call family we are brothers
and sisters.
Tomorrow the and asked me is our
job at risk?

01:36:32.563 --> 01:36:34.563
What we do, we clean up the

01:36:36.867 --> 01:36:38.867
tenderloin.

01:36:41.304 --> 01:36:43.380
It is so important and it feels
so good when I have a homeless

01:36:44.474 --> 01:36:46.474
person come up to my guys and

01:36:47.177 --> 01:36:49.177
say thank you because are

01:36:51.140 --> 01:36:52.681
building relationships.
For me to hear that that's

01:36:54.450 --> 01:36:56.150
threatened an optical back to my
family tomorrow because they

01:36:57.986 --> 01:36:59.986
will asked me do we still have a

01:37:03.325 --> 01:37:05.927
job?
For some of them, this is all I
have.
I understand there's

01:37:07.363 --> 01:37:09.630
opportunities for tech
industries and construction

01:37:14.603 --> 01:37:16.771
workers but some of the people
when you grew up around murder
and drugs all your life lesson

01:37:16.771 --> 01:37:18.839
your thinking about is going
into the tech industry or
construction.

01:37:21.576 --> 01:37:23.309
You have to start at the bottom.
We build and raise leaders and

01:37:23.944 --> 01:37:25.944
that we teach them to lead other

01:37:29.984 --> 01:37:32.385
people.
I cannot tell my other guys go
get a job in construction after

01:37:32.385 --> 01:37:34.120
train them how to maintain job.
And I'm excited when I get up in

01:37:36.490 --> 01:37:38.223
the morning.
And I go to visit them and work

01:37:40.494 --> 01:37:42.227
with them.
Please, reconsider whatever it

01:37:44.231 --> 01:37:46.299
is that you're doing because I
have to work, live and talk with
them.

01:37:46.366 --> 01:37:48.366
Thank you.

01:37:52.572 --> 01:37:54.774
>> thank you.
I don't know what extent public
comment but thank you and your

01:37:54.774 --> 01:37:56.774
organization for the work that

01:38:02.715 --> 01:38:04.715
you're doing your folks to an

01:38:07.853 --> 01:38:10.187
amazing job.
Our residents and thank me all
the time for your work.

01:38:11.457 --> 01:38:13.457
Thank you.

01:38:20.532 --> 01:38:22.532
>> hi.

01:38:22.701 --> 01:38:24.701
I want to say thank you

01:38:30.375 --> 01:38:32.341
President And cheryl davis for
being such a role models for
use.

01:38:32.644 --> 01:38:34.644
It's made my job much easier.

01:38:34.679 --> 01:38:36.679
I was listening to Mr. Carr and

01:38:44.722 --> 01:38:46.857
what he does with district 10
ten
and I didn't hear anything about
district five.

01:38:46.857 --> 01:38:48.892
And extra five we have the
highest unemployment rate in the
city.

01:38:51.595 --> 01:38:53.595
Our unemployment is at 65% so

01:38:58.435 --> 01:39:00.169
when I look at the contract and
I think okay we need to get 100

01:39:02.439 --> 01:39:04.173
people employed in a year's time
then I look and say well let's

01:39:06.276 --> 01:39:07.942
try.
We started doing it because

01:39:09.120 --> 01:39:11.120
we're so adamant on getting our

01:39:16.252 --> 01:39:18.753
job done and meeting our quota
so it came to a point that were
getting phone calls and saying

01:39:20.621 --> 01:39:23.124
what happened to you young guys.
I have to go back and say wait a
minute this is not working for

01:39:27.229 --> 01:39:29.630
us.
We're not lower and learning who
the young man or lady is.

01:39:33.368 --> 01:39:35.136
And how do we do to help him?
We need to take a step back and

01:39:36.303 --> 01:39:38.303
say okay, we need to make some

01:39:44.412 --> 01:39:46.647
changes in what we do but we can
do it all in a year so it's like
that we spent first of all when

01:39:46.647 --> 01:39:48.883
a young man comes and sees a new
job it's like first of all i

01:39:48.883 --> 01:39:50.883
have a job you right now can you

01:39:52.586 --> 01:39:55.880
pass a urine test.
I have to make sure you can pass
a urine test and then I have to

01:39:57.256 --> 01:39:58.992
make sure that your job ready to
a point where you actually can

01:40:01.260 --> 01:40:03.696
go down there and sustain a job.
You have to make sure they are
able to go in that area work

01:40:04.640 --> 01:40:06.640
that job.

01:40:12.672 --> 01:40:14.707
It so much that comes with this
and putting a person to work.
You know have to know the

01:40:14.707 --> 01:40:17.676
history and what they been
through.
Thank you.
>> thank you.

01:40:20.413 --> 01:40:22.413
Next speaker please.

01:40:25.510 --> 01:40:26.785
>> good morning.
I'm a chef graduate here in san

01:40:33.250 --> 01:40:35.194
francisco.
I moved to san francisco a year
and half ago without getting

01:40:35.194 --> 01:40:37.194
into history I was in a real bad

01:40:37.294 --> 01:40:39.664
place when I got here.
An opportunity open up with
mentorship program and I jump

01:40:45.300 --> 01:40:47.171
right into it working with the
organization.
After graduating, I started my

01:40:50.942 --> 01:40:53.243
own catering company and our
motto is you can't get full if
your soul is in fact.

01:40:55.346 --> 01:40:57.346
I'm an unsure for newer to

01:41:00.718 --> 01:41:02.718
empower women and will more

01:41:07.791 --> 01:41:09.457
people-I've been sushi served as
a mentor program for those

01:41:14.932 --> 01:41:17.100
interested.
In addition to creating full
surface for women I also promote

01:41:17.100 --> 01:41:19.100
self-care in an effort to let

01:41:22.572 --> 01:41:25.440
other women know that they are
seen and heard.
I have responsibility of a woman
and particularly a woman of

01:41:26.174 --> 01:41:28.210
color to serve that come after
me to let them know I support
them.

01:41:29.746 --> 01:41:31.746
Our vision and focuses in the

01:41:33.950 --> 01:41:35.450
service sector it is critical to
pay and get back.

01:41:47.262 --> 01:41:49.264
We created a motivation and
goals for young women.
My hope is that I serve as a

01:41:49.264 --> 01:41:51.299
vessel so young women will have
a lot knowledge, preparedness
and opportunities to develop

01:41:51.299 --> 01:41:53.670
into what they want to be.
My situation is unique but it's

01:41:55.570 --> 01:41:57.938
not impossible.
People are not looking for a
handout the looking for an

01:42:04.145 --> 01:42:05.912
opportunity.
>> I just want to say those are

01:42:11.686 --> 01:42:13.788
line up I call your name please
submit a card but I do have a
pile of people here that have

01:42:13.788 --> 01:42:15.788
been here since the beginning

01:42:19.260 --> 01:42:21.627
and the waiting.
Please let me call the name and
the orders that they are

01:42:22.996 --> 01:42:24.729
received.
>> good morning members of the

01:42:28.435 --> 01:42:30.435
board.

01:42:34.808 --> 01:42:36.942
I the founder and ceo of the
academy and have my staff and
students here.

01:42:42.181 --> 01:42:45.150
You can get up and say hi.
The economy is a national
critter school for medical
technicians that have been

01:42:49.321 --> 01:42:51.656
providing occupational skills
for san francisco unemployed low
income and marginalized

01:42:55.861 --> 01:42:58.229
populations for 11 years.
25% of her students are
african-american, 29 latino, 18%

01:43:00.999 --> 01:43:02.666
are asian ends 7% are white.
Largest percentage of her

01:43:06.738 --> 01:43:08.738
students come from hunters point

01:43:11.808 --> 01:43:14.144
point.
As an immigrant and a single
mother myself, I know and

01:43:16.914 --> 01:43:18.647
understand the struggles that my
students go through to make ends

01:43:22.319 --> 01:43:24.200
meet in san francisco.
While medical facility sought

01:43:27.810 --> 01:43:29.760
the bay area hire our graduates
and partner with us to prepare
our students from work they have

01:43:29.760 --> 01:43:32.461
been shunning us for funding for
years.

01:43:32.996 --> 01:43:34.996
We receive funding from the

01:43:39.968 --> 01:43:41.670
council work the futures and
other organizations and nine

01:43:53.616 --> 01:43:56.152
from our own cities.
You're the only provider in the
healthcare I was not selecting
for funding.

01:43:56.152 --> 01:43:58.119
Despite the fact that we
provided support letter from san

01:43:59.655 --> 01:44:02.457
francisco general hospital
little, aids foundation projects

01:44:19.730 --> 01:44:21.730
and one medical group.

01:46:10.278 --> 01:46:12.470
Good morning a morgan talker.
I wanted to say that when I look

01:46:15.217 --> 01:46:16.918
at the numbers it becomes
unrealistic to me because, I

01:46:18.719 --> 01:46:20.488
have to enter these numbers but
these numbers are not adding up

01:46:29.963 --> 01:46:32.330
with the work that I have to do.
You're getting the calls out one
the morning because they need

01:46:32.330 --> 01:46:34.235
support with something
predestinate take an all day
job.
Just for that person.

01:46:34.235 --> 01:46:36.235
Think of trying to help 100

01:46:36.590 --> 01:46:39.273
people do that.
That's not a years worth of
work.
That's ten years.

01:46:41.750 --> 01:46:43.750
In supporting these people that

01:46:49.650 --> 01:46:51.785
come in I have people call me at
two in the morning then on top
of that when I have to go to

01:46:51.785 --> 01:46:54.654
court with some people, court
takes all day.
It's a lot more work than just

01:46:58.492 --> 01:47:00.559
putting in these hundred people.
I want you to understand that
it's more work than just what

01:47:00.559 --> 01:47:02.559
you guys are trying to fund

01:47:03.162 --> 01:47:05.531
press.
I would hope that you would take
this a challenge and do

01:47:06.700 --> 01:47:08.700
something different and focus on

01:47:11.204 --> 01:47:13.204
what everything else is doing.

01:47:16.721 --> 01:47:17.987
It's just not construction,
people want to get into other

01:47:19.779 --> 01:47:22.514
things.
Just make sure that you have an
open mind and positions that
people May want to be into.
>> thank you.

01:47:27.953 --> 01:47:29.687
Next speaker.
I'm going to call a couple more

01:47:46.360 --> 01:47:48.360
cards.

01:48:10.227 --> 01:48:12.829
Ms. Williams welcome.
>> good afternoon and thank you
so much for your leadership on
this issue.

01:48:12.829 --> 01:48:14.864
This is one that I'm passionate
about and serve on the city
college board of trustees and we

01:48:14.864 --> 01:48:16.567
serve around 70,000 san
francisco ends who want to

01:48:22.705 --> 01:48:24.872
pursue their education as well
is fine pathways.
I want to identify ways to

01:48:28.544 --> 01:48:30.979
leverage the resources available
now with the help of supervisor
cam, we will be free for san

01:48:40.955 --> 01:48:43.591
franciscans this fall.
That is huge.
First city in the country to do
that so it's, we have a great

01:48:43.591 --> 01:48:45.992
opportunity here to leverage we
have at city college of san
francisco where programs such as

01:48:50.365 --> 01:48:52.534
extended opportunities.
We have a guardian scholars we
have many programs that will

01:48:52.534 --> 01:48:54.534
address some of these barriers

01:48:55.503 --> 01:48:57.938
and I really want to honor the
leaders that I've been doing
this work for many years like

01:48:59.907 --> 01:49:01.608
alyssa jackson and others from
the women's committee clinic.

01:49:09.950 --> 01:49:12.453
They're doing amazing work.
It's a huge job.
We mention about a collective
effort that would be very

01:49:12.453 --> 01:49:14.187
important because it takes a
village to address this issue.

01:49:22.162 --> 01:49:24.564
I'm a san francisco native and
fortunately I've had
opportunities to be able to
accelerate in my career and

01:49:24.564 --> 01:49:26.165
sustain myself.
but not everyone has an

01:49:28.268 --> 01:49:30.736
opportunity and we really need
to work hard and look at the
numbers and see how we can work

01:49:31.938 --> 01:49:34.406
on this together.
City college of san francisco
where willing to be your partner

01:49:46.350 --> 01:49:48.454
in this and whatever we can do
to get people in training
getting access to scholarships

01:49:48.454 --> 01:49:50.454
and financial aid to some stain

01:49:55.993 --> 01:49:58.463
themselves I'm committed and I'm
here to partner with everybody
to look at ways to address this
issue.

01:49:58.463 --> 01:50:00.598
Thank you so much for your
leadership and I'm happy to see
this happen.

01:50:02.734 --> 01:50:04.734
>> I want to thank you so much

01:50:06.670 --> 01:50:08.438
for being the swing vote.
Thank you for your vote and your

01:50:09.741 --> 01:50:11.741
support.

01:50:12.176 --> 01:50:14.176
>> good morning supervisor I

01:50:21.350 --> 01:50:23.820
hotel council.
Three years ago in response to
the request and making sure that

01:50:29.391 --> 01:50:31.861
we reckon nice an issue applying
and being hired by hotels we
started a partnership you heard

01:50:33.629 --> 01:50:35.629
about earlier from the weber and

01:50:35.865 --> 01:50:37.566

01:50:53.316 --> 01:50:55.683

01:51:01.523 --> 01:51:03.523
developing for the last three

01:51:03.725 --> 01:51:05.459
years.
Through the education funds that

01:51:11.265 --> 01:51:14.168
are supported through the hotels
and council that organization
help fund the start of two
different programs.

01:51:14.702 --> 01:51:16.336
One was to find ways for people
who work part-time at the

01:51:20.707 --> 01:51:23.176
ballpark and mostly
african-americans to find a way
for permanent employees within

01:51:24.679 --> 01:51:27.800
the hotel industry.
We have been doing that for
three years now and that program

01:51:28.849 --> 01:51:30.617
has been headed up by -- coming
of that program we were able to

01:51:32.920 --> 01:51:34.554
start is a hospitality.
Which I'm really happy to

01:51:36.456 --> 01:51:38.456
announce that it was established

01:51:50.370 --> 01:51:52.438
this year as a nonprofit.
That program is a three
performance program surrounds

01:51:52.438 --> 01:51:54.506
the employees and the potential
employees would support and
speak to the retention issues

01:51:54.506 --> 01:51:56.241
I've been hearing about when
they start with the hotel the

01:52:04.650 --> 01:52:06.819
program finds him a mentor to
help them navigate within the
work that they're doing as well.

01:52:06.819 --> 01:52:08.954
We attended the graduation all
the graduates that were at the
graduation had either already

01:52:08.954 --> 01:52:10.954
been hired or hotel directors

01:52:11.657 --> 01:52:13.657
were handing out business cards.

01:52:16.528 --> 01:52:17.962
There develop people to work -- 
>> thank you.

01:52:22.567 --> 01:52:24.535
Next speaker please
>> good morning.
I jesse martinez.

01:52:27.538 --> 01:52:29.139
I'm speaking for the office of
economics and workforce

01:52:31.275 --> 01:52:32.876
development.
I'm in training as well.

01:52:34.780 --> 01:52:35.779
I want to share how thankful and
how I've benefited from the

01:52:39.116 --> 01:52:41.583
program.
In the beginning, I dealt with
the loss of my father who was

01:52:41.952 --> 01:52:43.385
shot and murder in a san
francisco st.

01:52:47.758 --> 01:52:50.159
Bike gang member and I think
about why my father was there
and that time and place it

01:52:53.462 --> 01:52:55.565
happen.
Maybe it's from his upbringing
where he did have a lot of

01:52:55.565 --> 01:52:57.565
opportunity from the city to

01:53:03.873 --> 01:53:06.140
become a quality person that he
did it become to be.
i'm thank you for because they

01:53:13.415 --> 01:53:15.484
get people like me who are
minorities different genders no
matter what or you come from

01:53:15.484 --> 01:53:17.653
opportunities to become
something more.

01:53:17.653 --> 01:53:19.653
I want to thank city bill

01:53:26.940 --> 01:53:28.960
program for that.
For making that possible.
I understand Miss Davis.

01:53:28.960 --> 01:53:30.960
You're doing everything you can

01:53:32.367 --> 01:53:34.602
for us.
I want to say they want everyone
to be a bill collector and make

01:53:34.602 --> 01:53:36.602
better decisions for everybody

01:53:40.107 --> 01:53:42.476
as a group.
And it's keep san francisco what
it is.
>> thank you Mr. Martinez.

01:53:42.476 --> 01:53:44.476
Next speaker please?

01:53:47.915 --> 01:53:49.682
If I have not called her name I
still have cards if you haven't

01:53:51.118 --> 01:53:53.118
submitted one please submit one.

01:53:56.256 --> 01:53:57.957
>> good afternoon.
I represent myself but I come

01:54:03.363 --> 01:54:05.731
from an agency as well.
No one mentioned the tl and
that's were all the funding

01:54:14.800 --> 01:54:16.141
starts.
We are being left out for some
reason this is where all the

01:54:16.141 --> 01:54:17.842
mental health and the mental
activity starts from and the

01:54:18.611 --> 01:54:21.113
homeless.
I've been here 17 years my son
will be 18 January.

01:54:21.113 --> 01:54:23.113
I had him at the general

01:54:25.250 --> 01:54:26.918
hospital I went through all the
shelter programs homeless

01:54:32.456 --> 01:54:34.910
coalition I did it all I that
person that person you're

01:54:35.894 --> 01:54:37.628
talking about that has failed.
I work for local 16 I make $49

01:54:39.764 --> 01:54:41.764
an hour I have bailed because I

01:54:43.968 --> 01:54:45.968
cannot keep it is just a

01:54:48.390 --> 01:54:50.840
seasonal job I go to local 510
$25 an hour.
I have six kids.

01:54:56.914 --> 01:54:59.682
I'm 43 years I look young but am
old.
i still want to pick cotton.
I don't care what ever make

01:55:02.786 --> 01:55:04.786
money I a good person it is what

01:55:07.557 --> 01:55:10.526
it is I a good -- you take this
funding away it will be

01:55:20.603 --> 01:55:22.705
revolution time my grandmother
little brother it will be
revolution time if you take that

01:55:22.705 --> 01:55:24.439
funding away because it does not
affect san francisco it affects

01:55:25.750 --> 01:55:27.750
oakland it affects sonoma.

01:55:27.210 --> 01:55:28.877
It affects everywhere.
San francisco is the main

01:55:32.748 --> 01:55:34.349
funding from the bay area.
Not just san francisco.

01:55:39.210 --> 01:55:41.254
The bay.
They have to move.
Your game is section eight I can

01:55:43.158 --> 01:55:45.659
do nothing with it.
I have a four bedroom boucher
went to homeless coalition and

01:55:55.135 --> 01:55:57.604
file for it the shelter
separated my kids for me because
I cannot have them on my lease

01:55:57.738 --> 01:55:59.738
and I have to wait and wait -- 

01:56:03.310 --> 01:56:05.778
thank you.
Thank you.
Next speaker please?

01:56:08.349 --> 01:56:10.349
Thank you

01:56:17.357 --> 01:56:19.900
>> I jaclyn henderson.
I remember moving here 60 years

01:56:21.361 --> 01:56:23.940
ago when I was 12 and 1 of the
most important things that was

01:56:25.931 --> 01:56:27.931
noted by myself and my mom was

01:56:28.468 --> 01:56:30.468
at san francisco had some of the

01:56:32.205 --> 01:56:34.205
number one schools in the city.

01:56:41.680 --> 01:56:43.413
In the nation I cannot find any
rankings on the been school list

01:56:48.186 --> 01:56:50.222
for san francisco now.
And that's appalling to me
because to me, that's where

01:56:50.222 --> 01:56:52.724
everything starts about her
black children.

01:56:52.724 --> 01:56:54.724
Institutional racism starts in

01:56:57.595 --> 01:56:59.963
the schools.
It starts in other places down
the line that are street

01:57:01.866 --> 01:57:03.600
children in counter any of your
home life is in a good life and

01:57:03.967 --> 01:57:05.967
it's not stable, there's a

01:57:10.875 --> 01:57:13.343
racism there.
Your parent might favor one of
you than the other that to me is

01:57:13.878 --> 01:57:15.278
a sort of racism and being
particular.

01:57:17.981 --> 01:57:19.981
Your child is a most important

01:57:20.551 --> 01:57:22.285
thing as they are growing up
what you tell them and what you

01:57:27.224 --> 01:57:28.958
teach them is fortified if the
school system is not right then

01:57:29.793 --> 01:57:32.940
it's not right.
Because of most of our black

01:57:42.939 --> 01:57:45.340
children are 13 more time likely
to be suspended in school.
13 times more to fail in their

01:57:48.944 --> 01:57:50.712
grades.
If this continues there will be

01:57:54.816 --> 01:57:56.818
no one who has any goods backing
them.
How can you get a good job if
you haven't had a good

01:57:56.818 --> 01:57:58.818
education?

01:57:59.486 --> 01:58:01.870
Some other reasons for this are
the destruction of the

01:58:04.225 --> 01:58:06.526
african-american neighborhoods
due to urban renewal.
We have all these big company

01:58:07.562 --> 01:58:09.163
bringing in the money but are
they employing her kids?

01:58:17.380 --> 01:58:19.539
No.
>> thank you.
Thank you very much for your
comments.

01:58:23.770 --> 01:58:25.545
Next speaker please and again if
I haven't con your name and your
line if you can just fill out a

01:58:27.446 --> 01:58:29.150
speaker card submitted to us
that we will get you.

01:58:36.356 --> 01:58:38.356
>> hi.

01:58:42.772 --> 01:58:43.923
Like I said employment team we
work with small group of three.

01:58:45.542 --> 01:58:47.771
And a tenderloin we get
everybody from the western

01:59:03.115 --> 01:59:05.115
addition

01:59:05.851 --> 01:59:08.186
bayview, oakland,
richmond everybody flocks to the
tenderloin.
Where on the street corners

01:59:08.186 --> 01:59:10.355
targeting everybody.
The people there selling drugs
to let them know that this is

01:59:10.355 --> 01:59:12.791
not the quickest way to make a
dollar because you're going to
jail.
Were talking to the people that

01:59:12.791 --> 01:59:14.858
are sweet been this streets
every day.
To let them know that this is

01:59:15.827 --> 01:59:18.695
not the end you don't have to
sleep on the street.
We can get you shelter or
employment which we have done

01:59:20.732 --> 01:59:23.165
for a number of people.
I have a client 63 or so with a
client who is out there still

01:59:23.334 --> 01:59:25.334
working and sleeping on the

01:59:27.403 --> 01:59:29.105
streets.
I call these people my family

01:59:30.274 --> 01:59:32.274
and the reason why is because

01:59:33.210 --> 01:59:34.978
every morning I walk to work I
see them sleeping on the street

01:59:41.484 --> 01:59:44.154
corner.
I know where they sleep, I know
where the eight.
I know what the gonna do every

01:59:44.154 --> 01:59:46.154
day because are coming into my

01:59:49.626 --> 01:59:51.694
office for help.
And to tell my family that we
cannot provide the services of

01:59:51.694 --> 01:59:54.162
their being cut, that is
horrible.

01:59:54.162 --> 01:59:56.162
What are we going to do?

01:59:57.767 --> 01:59:59.501
This is horrible.
I just don't know at the end of

02:00:01.771 --> 02:00:03.771
the day what I'm gonna do.

02:00:06.742 --> 02:00:08.476
And it sat.
>> thank you for your comments.

02:00:13.115 --> 02:00:16.500
Next speaker..
>> thank you for your comments.
Next speaker.D.
>> thank you for your comments.

02:00:22.791 --> 02:00:25.359
Next speaker.
>> thank you.
I want to show you something I
want to bore you with this.

02:00:25.359 --> 02:00:27.960
You see this card I have in my
hand I'm an american disabled

02:00:31.532 --> 02:00:34.267
veteran I was overseas to one
month when I came home the first

02:00:38.606 --> 02:00:40.340
thing I learned was black people
couldn't get into the union to

02:00:41.800 --> 02:00:42.709
drive trucks.
My father was with me and he

02:00:44.512 --> 02:00:46.512
said, what you by your own

02:00:47.790 --> 02:00:49.849
truck.
That's how I got in business and

02:00:52.190 --> 02:00:54.190
from that big tall girl back

02:00:56.522 --> 02:00:58.857
there she took the business from
me now she's running it.

02:00:59.893 --> 02:01:01.893
And I'm saying to you

02:01:03.263 --> 02:01:05.263
particularly black people quit

02:01:05.331 --> 02:01:07.331
going to these ballgames like

02:01:10.469 --> 02:01:12.170
the warriors are the stars of
the team but we can work out

02:01:14.673 --> 02:01:16.407
there that people can work out
there whether building the new

02:01:24.816 --> 02:01:27.251
stadium you're talking about
this and other and all the work
is right there at the foot of

02:01:30.188 --> 02:01:32.256
bayview and out one black person
is working and that ain't
nothing new.

02:01:35.593 --> 02:01:37.327
Look at this town the way they
are remodeling and look at the

02:01:41.320 --> 02:01:43.366
jobs there are no black owners.
We got to come to an
understanding racism is here to

02:01:45.603 --> 02:01:48.471
stay and why people are never
going to forget it we have to
get used to it and we need to

02:01:52.776 --> 02:01:55.345
get together and say it we can
have none a no one going to have
known.

02:01:58.348 --> 02:02:00.348
>> thank you.

02:02:14.564 --> 02:02:17.660
Next speaker please.
>> hello.
On the andre hall I would like
to thank the office of workforce

02:02:17.660 --> 02:02:19.101
development and city belts.
I'm a part of the program of
which the program created to

02:02:19.101 --> 02:02:20.834
hire local residents and
minorities to work on stadiums

02:02:27.910 --> 02:02:29.644
like oracle and bring us jobs.
This is something that's been

02:02:32.214 --> 02:02:34.514
largely beneficial they always
told us that we had to go to
college in order to be

02:02:41.246 --> 02:02:42.402
successful.
I have some knowledge of the

02:02:48.429 --> 02:02:51.650
trade.
This is something that I kind of
want to reiterate.
We want to help them and

02:02:51.650 --> 02:02:53.868
motivate them and let them know
that this is an opportunity that
they can go for.
A lot of us cannot go to college

02:02:53.868 --> 02:02:55.602
college.
So the trades that cover all

02:02:56.236 --> 02:02:59.710
different types of field are
things that we can go into and

02:03:02.509 --> 02:03:04.177
help increase not just the
status of our cells but our

02:03:08.982 --> 02:03:11.884
communities and our cities.
That's what I wanted to say
today so thank you.
>> thank you Mr. Hall next

02:03:13.530 --> 02:03:15.530
speaker please.

02:03:17.189 --> 02:03:19.189
>> hi I david.

02:03:23.229 --> 02:03:26.131
I want to say thank you and I'm
also a student in the city bill
program.

02:03:32.605 --> 02:03:34.605
I want to say that -- growing up

02:03:36.942 --> 02:03:38.708
a rough environment when I was
going up my mother passed away

02:03:41.847 --> 02:03:44.348
before I can go to middle school
I had three brothers and no dad.
It to my brothers were murdered

02:03:46.150 --> 02:03:48.751
in the streets and one thing I
would like to say is thank you

02:03:52.490 --> 02:03:55.259
for the opportunity to's stop
working at a job and move on to

02:03:56.827 --> 02:03:58.827
a career because I have three

02:03:59.864 --> 02:04:01.864
kids of my own and I can never

02:04:02.900 --> 02:04:04.200
afford to stop working after
work.

02:04:06.170 --> 02:04:08.670
40 hours a week.
When I found out to this program
that I can do my train on the

02:04:13.709 --> 02:04:16.780
weekends that's perfect.
My first second day off since
easter and I came here to

02:04:21.180 --> 02:04:23.180
support city build for that

02:04:31.461 --> 02:04:33.463
reason because I can move on
from working a job and having a
career in providing a better

02:04:33.463 --> 02:04:35.263
future for my family.
Thank you.
>> thank you.

02:04:39.802 --> 02:04:41.802
next speaker please.

02:04:46.375 --> 02:04:48.108
>> hi we have a apprenticeship
program that helps you get a job

02:04:51.446 --> 02:04:53.915
in the construction industry.
I knew early on that I did not
want to push paper rollers or

02:04:57.252 --> 02:04:59.687
work in the hospitality industry
or work with a lower or go to a
four-year college what I did

02:05:00.689 --> 02:05:02.689
know is that I can get paid.

02:05:05.693 --> 02:05:08.528
I'm a little bias I think one of
the engineers of the best union
but there's thousands of units
out there.

02:05:11.966 --> 02:05:13.700
They do not pay you.
I have to be at work sometimes

02:05:29.783 --> 02:05:32.384
at four in the morning but it
pays very well.
And because of city build I have
a very good paying job with a

02:05:32.384 --> 02:05:34.554
pension and a retirement plan
and I can support myself, myself
I can travel I have a house I

02:05:34.554 --> 02:05:36.790
have all these options because I
joined city bill.
Construction is not for
everybody but it's for me.

02:05:36.790 --> 02:05:38.790
And I love it.

02:05:42.427 --> 02:05:44.129
They do employ a lot of women
but they do not employ enough.

02:05:45.431 --> 02:05:47.165
That needs to change.
That is something that we need

02:05:51.203 --> 02:05:53.605
to work on and something they
are working on and something
that the union is working on

02:05:55.700 --> 02:05:56.741
two.
I wanted to support and say that

02:06:03.181 --> 02:06:05.649
I love city build and good luck
with this.

02:07:54.587 --> 02:07:56.121
I derek at words and I a product
of the organization.

02:08:00.693 --> 02:08:02.693
I'm a security card and what

02:08:04.564 --> 02:08:06.564
offer today is you guys don't

02:08:07.800 --> 02:08:09.499
have proper training.
These two women have over 30

02:08:10.904 --> 02:08:12.637
years and hr.
And you're giving people money

02:08:13.206 --> 02:08:15.206
and they're not getting coached

02:08:17.509 --> 02:08:19.509
well enough to get a good job.

02:08:22.580 --> 02:08:24.580
The first thing you have to get

02:08:25.500 --> 02:08:26.684
past the interview.
You have to learn how to

02:08:29.190 --> 02:08:31.155
interview.
And I think that's what you guys
are missing.

02:08:35.293 --> 02:08:37.294
That's it.
>> thank you.
Next speaker please

02:08:37.728 --> 02:08:39.728
>> hello I rosie and I'm

02:08:42.466 --> 02:08:45.334
graduate of the program the lady
who spoke before derek I

02:08:47.400 --> 02:08:49.400
graduated recently and I

02:08:49.730 --> 02:08:51.730
gainfully employed at the

02:08:57.247 --> 02:08:58.981
fairmont hotel at the a there.
I am very grateful for these two

02:09:04.821 --> 02:09:07.122
ladies and rashida and their
program.
Thank you very much.
>> thank you.

02:09:08.925 --> 02:09:10.925
Next speaker please?

02:09:26.677 --> 02:09:28.677
>> good afternoon everybody.

02:09:31.847 --> 02:09:33.915
I'm from the west side committee
services.
I'm a clinical case manager and
a counselor.

02:09:33.915 --> 02:09:35.650
It bothers me because
african-americans make up 6% of

02:09:37.337 --> 02:09:38.704
the population but we make up
64% of the jail population and
56% of the unemployment

02:09:43.352 --> 02:09:45.850
population.
The few jobs they do have
through job nouns are limited to
six months.
Or have been cut back on the

02:09:45.960 --> 02:09:47.693
used to be a year once he's kids
and young adults are finish with

02:09:52.990 --> 02:09:53.867
their six month project they
don't have stability to continue

02:09:55.302 --> 02:09:57.360
to work fall back straight it's
easy to fall and gets up in the

02:10:00.941 --> 02:10:02.642
street and pick up a gun.
I have lost over 200 friends

02:10:07.113 --> 02:10:08.813
associated family members.
I've lost a brother that was

02:10:10.817 --> 02:10:12.518
homicide, murdered and 2003.
Our kids have no serious role

02:10:15.210 --> 02:10:17.254
models they feel like their
backs are against the law no one

02:10:23.940 --> 02:10:25.129
loves them so they look for gang
violence and gangs to build
families.

02:10:27.633 --> 02:10:29.367
And then they fall to the fear
ship of peer pressure from their

02:10:31.604 --> 02:10:33.604
peers we need more programs not

02:10:36.675 --> 02:10:39.770
only beckon training for
interviews but they have to be
trained and taught how to

02:10:43.181 --> 02:10:45.716
maintain stability these kids
and young adults as well of
older adults they have been

02:10:50.421 --> 02:10:52.856
blindsided for the
african-american not all but
some of them there nothing but

02:10:54.158 --> 02:10:56.560
puppets.
And they feel like you push this
black face in front of the

02:10:56.828 --> 02:10:58.828
people then you can get the

02:11:03.267 --> 02:11:05.767
people to stop complaining and
quiet down but we need to step
up to the plate as a community

02:11:07.705 --> 02:11:09.705
all over the city and push the

02:11:16.146 --> 02:11:18.781
hard line.
>> thank you.
Before, you can come on up to

>> please excuse me I'm a little
anxious but it's a privilege to

02:13:05.851 --> 02:13:08.252
be here and speak to.
Ma'am, I do not know your name
but I really appreciate the

02:13:11.189 --> 02:13:12.922
passion that you spoke earlier.
I hear to speak on behalf of an

02:13:21.785 --> 02:13:24.366
owner points family my concern
about some the cuts and funding.
I believe God put that man in
front of me because what we're
doing at hundred pouring is
that.

02:13:24.368 --> 02:13:26.368
A little quick history.

02:13:29.239 --> 02:13:31.239
I spent years in prison for a

02:13:35.844 --> 02:13:37.847
comic to commit I wanted to come
out and be of service.
Hunters point family actually

02:13:37.847 --> 02:13:39.847
took me and showed me the way.

02:13:45.622 --> 02:13:47.756
From resumes to saying this is
not even a career.
The sketch is a something

02:13:52.940 --> 02:13:54.130
further talk about education.
I have an aa degree and working
towards my bachelors.

02:13:54.130 --> 02:13:55.597
My son is a police officer and
it's a blessing.

02:14:03.300 --> 02:14:05.342
I work for pitstop I believe in
that model we have an
opportunity to change lives with
smiles.

02:14:05.342 --> 02:14:07.342
Hunters point has always been

02:14:12.981 --> 02:14:15.820
said and it's interesting they
say that it's too black.
It blew my mind when I heard it

02:14:15.820 --> 02:14:17.317
because I thing I saw and there
was too much love.
It were doing something for the

02:14:18.353 --> 02:14:20.353
black community that were doing

02:14:22.922 --> 02:14:25.425
it to them and not for them.
Hunters point is for us with us
and they have actually put their

02:14:27.261 --> 02:14:29.261
own label and said what are your

02:14:29.362 --> 02:14:31.362
best interest?

02:14:36.503 --> 02:14:38.971
I'm here to say that humans that
they do matter and it is affect
our lives and I would appreciate

02:14:39.540 --> 02:14:41.239
your concern towards at thank
you and I appreciate serving

02:14:42.343 --> 02:14:44.760
you.
>> thank you and thank you for

02:14:44.578 --> 02:14:46.578
your comments.

02:14:48.948 --> 02:14:50.948
>> thank you.

02:14:52.753 --> 02:14:54.753
Supervisor kim thank you for

02:14:55.822 --> 02:14:57.822
your leadership this is

02:14:59.393 --> 02:15:01.826
something that I have been
involved in this kind of work

02:15:03.729 --> 02:15:06.396
for 50 years and this is the
first time that we have come

02:15:14.273 --> 02:15:16.707
here to speak specifically about
the issues that affect the
african-american community as it

02:15:20.878 --> 02:15:23.140
relates to employment.
And it's long overdue and I
believe it took courage for you

02:15:23.140 --> 02:15:25.715
to do it and I thank you for it.
Very quickly and briefly with

02:15:26.917 --> 02:15:28.917
only two minutes and 50 years of

02:15:31.189 --> 02:15:33.423
history I will tell you a couple
of things that I see that's
wrong.

02:15:35.626 --> 02:15:37.626
Number one.

02:15:48.838 --> 02:15:51.410
If this problems can be solved
you heard speaker after speaker
said you have to work with the

02:15:51.410 --> 02:15:53.750
people that know the problem and
have been involved with the
problem and to do that san

02:15:53.750 --> 02:15:55.345
francisco's gonna have to do
something that it has never done
before that I know of and san

02:15:55.345 --> 02:15:58.312
francisco is going to have to
learn how to trust black people

02:16:07.490 --> 02:16:09.557
with money.
We do not do this in the city
even when we apply for funds

02:16:09.557 --> 02:16:11.293
sometimes they give them to
other people to administer for

02:16:15.640 --> 02:16:17.532
us and once again and then the
problem is done to us not for us
and more importantly not with

02:16:19.735 --> 02:16:22.235
us.
That has to change it were going
have any success whatsoever.

02:16:24.639 --> 02:16:26.374
That's all.
There is so much more you have

02:16:29.578 --> 02:16:31.178
to go back and do an actual
physical monitoring of

02:16:34.482 --> 02:16:36.250
construction sites where you
send people to look into because

02:16:38.386 --> 02:16:40.822
you can put anything on paper
but if I was teaching a class a
state college out half the

02:16:43.356 --> 02:16:45.910
students do photographs of every
job site in the city and show

02:16:48.194 --> 02:16:49.929
you all in one of your hearings
who is working on the sites and

02:16:56.690 --> 02:16:57.503
who's not.
>> thank you.

02:17:05.711 --> 02:17:07.379
Next speaker please.
>> hi I have a company name

02:17:10.717 --> 02:17:12.349
yolanda's construction and
traffic control I provide

02:17:19.793 --> 02:17:21.894
services on construction sites
for traffic monitors such as
flaggers and sometimes put

02:17:21.894 --> 02:17:24.596
people in a trainer to provide
the support.
There are too many projects

02:17:29.680 --> 02:17:30.802
going on in my district and I'm
not going to call out no funds

02:17:34.106 --> 02:17:35.806
because they know who they are.
If you stand outside of those

02:17:39.844 --> 02:17:41.578
jobs at 315 you won't see but
maybe 1 or 2 african-americans

02:17:44.315 --> 02:17:46.490
come out of those jobs.
I have talked to michael carr of

02:17:47.785 --> 02:17:49.486
talk to several departments and
I've said over and over as a

02:17:56.600 --> 02:17:58.194
small company I have 60 people
and local 261.
30 marceau working on other

02:17:58.195 --> 02:18:00.195
projects but for business owner

02:18:05.535 --> 02:18:07.537
such as me they don't want to
give me an opportunity because
in a given opportunity means

02:18:07.537 --> 02:18:09.537
given a black person

02:18:25.210 --> 02:18:27.210
opportunity.

02:18:29.859 --> 02:18:31.859
They are not high in the

02:18:33.262 --> 02:18:34.763
minority individual that I can
hire my community.

02:18:40.802 --> 02:18:42.837
Thank you.
>> hi.
I'm with the mayor's office of

02:18:44.705 --> 02:18:47.242
haas housing I served in the
citizen committee of

02:18:51.545 --> 02:18:53.814
development.
I would like to come in a
paragraph nine about the

02:18:56.618 --> 02:18:58.351
appearances of the application I
would like to say that it really

02:19:00.521 --> 02:19:02.521
didn't matter because it was our

02:19:02.957 --> 02:19:05.358
duty to review applications and
make site visits.

02:19:07.695 --> 02:19:09.695
The director of the mayor's

02:19:14.735 --> 02:19:16.735
office of housing he took my

02:19:17.838 --> 02:19:19.838
vote away and he decided to

02:19:22.420 --> 02:19:24.420
award funding to an organization

02:19:29.882 --> 02:19:31.616
that were asian, latino white
organization and when I question

02:19:33.554 --> 02:19:35.185
him he said san francisco was a
century city and african

02:19:36.789 --> 02:19:39.257
committee was dissolved
african-americans consists of 6%

02:19:40.459 --> 02:19:42.459
and he was not funding any black

02:19:48.466 --> 02:19:50.294
organizations.
He said he was only interested

02:19:50.602 --> 02:19:52.602
in committees of color.

02:19:52.703 --> 02:19:54.703
Asian and latino.

02:19:57.341 --> 02:19:59.760
And that's what he funded.
And this went on for two years

02:20:05.116 --> 02:20:06.782
all the way to March 2017.
He is director of community

02:20:15.659 --> 02:20:17.928
development and kevin -- is a one
that gives a property he will
not give property to

02:20:18.661 --> 02:20:20.661
african-american nonprofits.

02:20:23.100 --> 02:20:25.100
>> thank you.

02:20:29.705 --> 02:20:32.700
Next speaker please?
>> good morning on victoria
westbrook on the director

02:20:36.646 --> 02:20:38.815
programs.
As a workforce development
organization that targets people

02:20:38.815 --> 02:20:41.650
with employment barriers and
works with a large number of

02:20:44.387 --> 02:20:46.387
african-americans I mayor what

02:20:50.292 --> 02:20:52.260
we heard this morning.
Looking at numbers is just not

02:20:56.332 --> 02:20:59.990
sufficient we found the depths
is much more important than
quantity.
When you're working with people

02:20:59.668 --> 02:21:01.235
who have been incarcerated some
have been in solitary

02:21:05.207 --> 02:21:07.641
confinement for over ten years
you can't just fix a resume and
send them on a job interview.

02:21:07.842 --> 02:21:09.576
It doesn't work.
We have found that you have to

02:21:16.583 --> 02:21:18.252
do with people whether at
whether barriers of reentry

02:21:22.957 --> 02:21:25.191
minting and behavioral issues
and it takes more than just a
job readiness piece.

02:21:30.130 --> 02:21:32.465
Were not case managers like
functions with people are
program partners are partners

02:21:36.670 --> 02:21:38.839
for life because we felt that
even we give people employment
sometimes we have to get them

02:21:38.839 --> 02:21:41.573
into a second job or third job
and that's a job that they start

02:21:51.816 --> 02:21:53.816

02:23:04.652 --> 02:23:07.555

other resources to help people

It's always a lot of

02:23:15.597 --> 02:23:17.599
construction and signings in
nursing and training and a lot
of cooking training.

02:23:17.599 --> 02:23:19.636
There's other people want to get
into other feel so you all need
to start to put more effort into

02:23:19.636 --> 02:23:21.603

Help them get jobs.

02:25:40.680 --> 02:25:42.680
old native san francisco in.

02:25:44.105 --> 02:25:46.105
Member of the pen and paper's

02:25:48.376 --> 02:25:50.813
union for whatever that's worth.
My grandfather taught me when I
was a kid how to cultivate the

02:25:50.813 --> 02:25:52.813
land.

02:25:56.449 --> 02:25:58.449
Now if you want fruit to grow

02:26:01.589 --> 02:26:03.324
then you must plant seeds.
If you don't cultivate the land

02:26:04.758 --> 02:26:06.459
if you leave it alone and
unattended is going to grow

02:26:13.333 --> 02:26:16.235
weeds.
i'm 49 years old in america do I
feel like I fit in this place?
I really don't.

02:26:16.568 --> 02:26:18.568
I do not feel a part of the

02:26:22.700 --> 02:26:23.742
system that device.
I'm trying to figure out at 49

02:26:26.747 --> 02:26:28.790
years old how do I fit in to the
society.

02:26:38.723 --> 02:26:41.125
Nb of good services.
Be a pillar of the community.
How do I help aid how do I help

02:26:41.125 --> 02:26:43.125
myself help others if I do not

02:26:44.663 --> 02:26:46.397
fit in?
My grandfather taught me how to

02:26:50.400 --> 02:26:52.136
cultivate the land and if you
want to grow fresh vegetables be

02:27:01.279 --> 02:27:03.414

>> yes.
I'm part of the hundred points
family.

02:27:31.541 --> 02:27:33.976
I want to talk a little bit
about the family for me, for me
and the people that I know it

02:27:36.878 --> 02:27:39.790
has become a barrier blocker
 -- barrier breaker.
Has broken something barriers

02:27:41.317 --> 02:27:43.684
for the people that I work for
for the people I work with
across the street and they're

02:27:49.523 --> 02:27:51.661
doing the redevelopment for the
people have got out of jail for
the people have issues like me I

02:27:51.661 --> 02:27:53.394
will not go over them but a
support system that is there is

02:27:57.699 --> 02:28:00.134
like overwhelmingly bomb.Com.
And I was have this position
anywhere else with the issues

02:28:01.269 --> 02:28:03.269
and I had another people had I

02:28:03.437 --> 02:28:05.139
would've been fired.
i have to thank my boss Miss

02:28:10.111 --> 02:28:11.778
Melody and the people that have
work with me so that I can

02:28:15.682 --> 02:28:18.485
achieve my goals I started with
hunter points family last August
and I was employed through a

02:28:24.424 --> 02:28:25.858
work program I was hired through
this program.

02:28:30.970 --> 02:28:32.465
I've been working since-I've
been since October and this
October coming up will be my

02:28:33.500 --> 02:28:35.234
year but the thing that I'm
worried about is I still have my

02:28:36.835 --> 02:28:38.835
job over the after the program

02:28:44.777 --> 02:28:46.777
is over -- my question is what

02:28:50.182 --> 02:28:52.450
you guys continue funding I've
been working on the program
since reporting on the

02:28:53.352 --> 02:28:55.352
redevelopment I would just like

02:28:55.720 --> 02:28:57.720
to have one of these stay on my.

02:29:02.940 --> 02:29:03.760
>> thank you.
>> good afternoon President

02:29:10.502 --> 02:29:12.502
Breed.

02:29:25.282 --> 02:29:26.983
I run a grassroot organization
with a very few are partners

02:29:29.486 --> 02:29:31.221
I've been able to survive up
there along with funding my own

02:29:36.293 --> 02:29:37.960
program.
Recently for years ago we

02:29:41.831 --> 02:29:43.565
started a culinary program and
at that time we had one of the

02:29:47.904 --> 02:29:49.904
largest facilities that could

02:29:55.712 --> 02:29:57.712
use some help graduated three

02:30:03.285 --> 02:30:05.789
programs and we just submit
another request to the rfp that
just came out we didn't get that
funding.

02:30:05.789 --> 02:30:07.789
Were still here we can adore

02:30:08.724 --> 02:30:10.724
jobs but it's unfortunate that

02:30:12.728 --> 02:30:14.994
grassroot agencies do not get a
chance and I've seen it over the

02:30:20.301 --> 02:30:22.200
years we have been passed up as
committee members as far as

02:30:23.505 --> 02:30:25.505
businesses as far as jobs and

02:30:32.712 --> 02:30:35.215
rfps as committee members but
you give, funding and contracts
a lot of people that have came

02:30:40.540 --> 02:30:42.322
into her committees.
Hopefully from this dynamics
that the committee can finally
get is just too.

02:30:42.322 --> 02:30:44.524
Thank you.
>> thank you.
Next speaker please.

02:30:49.930 --> 02:30:51.930

I appalled

02:31:21.293 --> 02:31:23.293

Their successful black men

02:31:41.379 --> 02:31:43.379
because of their mother.

02:31:59.162 --> 02:32:01.162

02:32:19.215 --> 02:32:21.683
I do over and left at 49 years
old I'm to make sure that all my
kids are successful because we

02:32:23.384 --> 02:32:25.153

Thank God I went to college and

02:32:36.765 --> 02:32:38.933

We haven't talked about mental
health I have a son coming out

02:33:30.349 --> 02:33:32.349
>> good afternoon.

02:33:47.899 --> 02:33:50.300
Going to my voice
I did 27 years
in prison and there's no other

02:33:52.136 --> 02:33:53.870
program in the city because of
down the box the one higher next

02:34:10.254 --> 02:34:12.254
felon.

02:34:58.833 --> 02:35:00.534
They offer opportunity for
anyone coming as long as your

02:35:05.873 --> 02:35:07.873
way to put the work.

02:35:10.780 --> 02:35:12.780
>> hello supervisors I'm a long

02:35:22.890 --> 02:35:23.789
time san franciscan I'm here to
express my concerns about the

02:35:41.907 --> 02:35:43.907
hunter views pointer foundation.

02:35:49.148 --> 02:35:51.315
hopefully that will change with
the decisions you guys are gonna
make today.

02:35:51.984 --> 02:35:54.552
I've also known for a hunters
point family to be a big

02:35:59.424 --> 02:36:01.570
advantage they tell people or
how people remove several

02:36:10.568 --> 02:36:12.736
barriers.
I've been able to take advantage
of that and when you're there

02:36:12.736 --> 02:36:15.238
you see them all over the place
whether it's employees walking
around for their bands driving

02:36:31.621 --> 02:36:33.621
around.

02:36:33.656 --> 02:36:35.656
Children that are gonna also not

02:36:42.632 --> 02:36:44.801
be able to continue as well.
Hopefully you guys take
consideration into making sure
this continues.

02:36:44.801 --> 02:36:46.234
Thank you.
>> thank you.

02:36:48.671 --> 02:36:51.106
Next speaker please.
>> yes, I Mr. Gilbert and I'm a
supervisor for hunter points

02:36:52.208 --> 02:36:54.208
family.

02:36:58.113 --> 02:36:59.847
As everyone knows it's filled
with daily and human waste a lot

02:37:00.249 --> 02:37:02.583
of needles and we do address
that.

02:37:07.590 --> 02:37:09.323
The public that's in the area
and hunter points family so we

02:37:15.597 --> 02:37:17.765
provide that in the community to
help change the coaching and
look out for people who cannot

02:37:17.765 --> 02:37:19.801
use a restroom who cannot go to
mcdonald's.

02:37:19.801 --> 02:37:21.533
And the kids who walk back and
forth from school can step in a

02:37:29.410 --> 02:37:31.478
needle or human waste.
We take her of all of that.
The reason we can take care of

02:37:31.478 --> 02:37:34.180
all that is because of the
funds.
The funding is very important.
And that's a were asking you.

02:37:36.117 --> 02:37:37.551
Please continue to fund this.
>> thank you.

02:37:43.857 --> 02:37:46.258
Next speaker please
>> I'm here because I want to
speak of what we often talked

02:37:48.262 --> 02:37:50.662
about.
Funding is very important
because it's just not a program

02:37:53.633 --> 02:37:55.332
to give us some jobs it's an
opportunity to set goals for

02:37:58.171 --> 02:37:59.904
everybody.
I have friends of been in jail

02:38:01.874 --> 02:38:03.574
come out and first thing he got
a job from the hunter points

02:38:04.310 --> 02:38:06.310
family.

02:38:07.313 --> 02:38:09.313
It's just been so good want to

02:38:12.618 --> 02:38:15.190
keep this thing going keep this
part of the mindset of keeping
this not just hundred point

02:38:31.435 --> 02:38:33.435
family but

02:38:34.672 --> 02:38:36.907
a lot of these other
programs going.
That's all I wanted to say.
>> thank you very much for your

02:38:36.907 --> 02:38:39.409
comments.
Next speaker please.
>> hello supervisor.
Thank you very much for holding

02:38:39.409 --> 02:38:41.512
this hearing and fighting for
the needs of our community.
I had comments prepared but a

02:38:41.512 --> 02:38:44.140
change a little bit once I heard
some of the conversations that
we had.
One of the things I wanted to

02:38:44.140 --> 02:38:46.415
clear up is this misperception
that her agency does not have,
is not prepared technically.

02:38:50.754 --> 02:38:52.487
That somehow we rolled a
proposal that wasn't up to par

02:38:55.326 --> 02:38:56.891
did not include information.
That is not the case.

02:39:00.328 --> 02:39:02.640
Our performance is not the case.
The day after that we got the

02:39:04.867 --> 02:39:06.867
notice were cut 100% to serve we

02:39:06.903 --> 02:39:08.903
had auditors out that did a

02:39:11.205 --> 02:39:13.205
fiscal audit of our program.

02:39:18.646 --> 02:39:20.682
They were shocked.
There were shocked to hear that
we got cut I was shocked to hear

02:39:20.682 --> 02:39:22.416
that we got caught.
300 people we served and this is

02:39:24.353 --> 02:39:26.353
part of the city strategy to

02:39:30.892 --> 02:39:32.626
support young people right now,
the family is the lead in the

02:39:33.361 --> 02:39:35.361
phoenix project which occludes

02:39:36.164 --> 02:39:38.164
seven organizations in all of

02:39:38.599 --> 02:39:40.599
hope.

02:39:42.300 --> 02:39:43.670
In addition we serve folks all
over the area that's all a

02:39:51.612 --> 02:39:54.581
public housing in addition we
are the lead for back to the
future -- black to the future for
that collaborative.

02:39:57.651 --> 02:39:59.351
To cut all of our funding which
we use to leverage in those

02:40:00.954 --> 02:40:02.588
programs makes no sense to me.
It is not because we had

02:40:04.122 --> 02:40:06.122
substandard proposals or that

02:40:07.600 --> 02:40:09.600
somehow we let -- left things out

02:40:16.736 --> 02:40:19.305
of there.
They said that there was a lot
of problems with the system that
we entered.

02:40:19.305 --> 02:40:21.339
>> thank you Miss Miller and
thank you for the service to the
city.

02:40:28.313 --> 02:40:30.781
Next speaker please
>> hello I'm speaking here on
behalf of hunters point family.

02:40:33.752 --> 02:40:35.453
I've been a member and someone
who's benefited from the mary

02:40:41.626 --> 02:40:43.362
many services that offered one
that leads the nation in terms

02:40:47.650 --> 02:40:49.650
of social opportunities and

02:40:50.535 --> 02:40:52.535
fighting displacement I think

02:40:53.202 --> 02:40:55.202
the city would be following that

02:41:01.712 --> 02:41:03.412
case by cutting these funds.
Not only have I benefited a

02:41:04.114 --> 02:41:06.114
group of my peers bridge the

02:41:12.989 --> 02:41:14.989
caps a lot of it starts with you

02:41:15.123 --> 02:41:17.123
and me being a youth and also

02:41:21.230 --> 02:41:24.164
with my peers.
And getting hired from the these
bigger programs that they have
created for us.

02:41:32.908 --> 02:41:35.344
I think it would be taking out
of a serious investment that you
make to the community.
Thank you.

02:41:35.344 --> 02:41:36.878
>> thank you for your comments.
Next speaker please.

02:41:40.616 --> 02:41:42.350
>> hi.
I the program director for the

02:41:46.320 --> 02:41:49.190
workforce division I very
surprised that we have been cut

02:41:53.127 --> 02:41:54.828
from the funding we have been
one of the agencies that has

02:41:55.162 --> 02:41:57.162
provided services for the

02:42:00.340 --> 02:42:02.340
families through various options

02:42:02.269 --> 02:42:04.200
for around 6 or 7 years.
And we have been successful with

02:42:10.377 --> 02:42:12.677
finding the employment when it
was, we had just a summer
funding and once we started

02:42:20.166 --> 02:42:22.149
receiving the your own funding
that funding has also been
successful to her agency with
the help in finding training

02:42:25.157 --> 02:42:26.892
programs or just employment I do
think that they are one of our

02:42:33.666 --> 02:42:35.399
more difficult funding that we
have that come through hunters

02:42:38.337 --> 02:42:40.370
point family because it is very
outcome driven about numbers,

02:42:48.213 --> 02:42:50.415
education it's a lot of tracking
but it's also a way to really
try to stay on the market but I

02:42:50.415 --> 02:42:52.216
do agree with a lot of the other
speakers early a lot of times we

02:43:05.630 --> 02:43:07.231
are working with individual to
not just be focus on our ours
but focused on dividing direct

02:43:07.231 --> 02:43:09.267
services to make sure that the
barriers are being removed.
To bill on the relationships

02:43:09.267 --> 02:43:10.799
that will allow them to be
successful in life.

02:43:11.669 --> 02:43:14.139
I thank you for pushing to have
this hearing today and hopefully
the city will look at the

02:43:14.139 --> 02:43:16.139
funding decisions that they have

02:43:22.350 --> 02:43:23.592
made and restore the funding for
the family.
Thank you.
>> thank you.

02:43:30.320 --> 02:43:32.930
Next speaker please
>> hi supervisors I robert gray
and I'm here behalf of 100
points family.
This is the first job I've ever

02:43:47.403 --> 02:43:49.403
had.

02:43:50.739 --> 02:43:52.874
Being in the committee I've
never been able to take pride in
my job or anything of that

02:43:52.874 --> 02:43:55.276
nature and becoming a part of
hunter points family has given
me that.
I'm able to interact with the

02:43:55.276 --> 02:43:57.276
committee and tell about

02:43:58.747 --> 02:44:01.582
exhibits in the living exhibits
around communities things I've
never had.
I've taken much part of that and

02:44:05.200 --> 02:44:07.488
to find out at the funding has
been cut will be cut is really
disheartening because there's a

02:44:08.189 --> 02:44:09.857
lot of people that have no hope
and I was once one of those

02:44:10.825 --> 02:44:12.825
people and it's been a privilege

02:44:16.931 --> 02:44:19.232
to come in here and get my point
of view.
Thank you.
>> thank you for being here
today.

02:44:19.232 --> 02:44:21.232
Next speaker please.

02:44:24.638 --> 02:44:26.372
>> good afternoon.
I also a supervisor for hundred

02:44:28.740 --> 02:44:29.809
points family.
I started in the pitstop program

02:44:34.749 --> 02:44:36.749
I worked on we know the

02:44:38.510 --> 02:44:40.510
environment but one of the

02:44:41.688 --> 02:44:43.354
things that I understood what my
job position was is that it

02:44:44.900 --> 02:44:46.900
showings the culture from what

02:44:46.560 --> 02:44:48.560
people know it to be to what it

02:44:48.661 --> 02:44:50.661
is now.

02:44:52.430 --> 02:44:54.132
And now I'm a supervisor and we
supervise right here in city

02:44:59.972 --> 02:45:01.972
hall we also change the culture

02:45:03.274 --> 02:45:05.977
of that place a lot of you
travel to work through there and
you know that is a difference

02:45:10.116 --> 02:45:12.816
now and hunters point family has
allowed me to see the
opportunity to become a part of

02:45:24.328 --> 02:45:26.464
that community.
There was a bunch of interaction
with the people that come here.

02:45:26.464 --> 02:45:28.464
From different cities and

02:45:39.143 --> 02:45:41.611
countries.
Even though not from here but
this is my committee because I'm

02:45:44.614 --> 02:45:46.850
here.
And I want to make a difference
and I want to continue to make a

02:45:46.850 --> 02:45:48.850
difference unlike marcus bailey

02:45:50.185 --> 02:45:51.920
said I supervise 18 people and
the question tomorrow is going

02:46:00.730 --> 02:46:03.650
to be do I have a job so I would
like to be able to tell yes
because the funding continue.
Thank you.

02:46:03.650 --> 02:46:04.599
>> thank you Mr. Turner.
Next speaker please?

02:46:05.101 --> 02:46:07.101
>> good afternoon.

02:46:10.874 --> 02:46:13.341
I terrence blake and I to have
spent a lot of time in prison
and I'm speaking for the hunter

02:46:15.577 --> 02:46:17.345
point family.
I have been out 16 months and I

02:46:24.319 --> 02:46:26.786
had a lot of dead-end jobs here
but the hundred points family
gave me job and I to work in the

02:46:26.855 --> 02:46:28.855
civic center helping people it's

02:46:29.790 --> 02:46:31.790
great down there there was a

02:46:33.361 --> 02:46:35.610
drug infested area today it's
not because of hunter points

02:46:35.997 --> 02:46:38.864
family.
We help a lot of people tell

02:46:45.500 --> 02:46:46.739
them were to go in the community
were good places always share go

02:46:48.507 --> 02:46:50.177
to alamo parks to go down so
I've learned a lot for just

02:46:56.616 --> 02:46:58.350
being there for me it's scary
like the brother said I've never

02:46:59.619 --> 02:47:01.619
had a job first resume first

02:47:02.756 --> 02:47:04.489
everything for me.
I grew up here in the streets of

02:47:09.128 --> 02:47:11.563
san francisco for the homeless
point family it gave me hope.
What do you do when brothers go

02:47:13.665 --> 02:47:15.666
to prison you know and they
don't have the jobs?
Are they have the jobs and it's

02:47:15.666 --> 02:47:17.666
gone then you thrown back into

02:47:19.638 --> 02:47:21.304
the streets no drugs, violence
and alcohol that's all they

02:47:25.911 --> 02:47:28.800
know.
To take this funding away from
hunter point family it'll be

02:47:28.800 --> 02:47:30.800
doing the city and on justice

02:47:36.386 --> 02:47:38.456
because what are we going to do?
You all don't go out there but
what are they going to do?

02:47:38.456 --> 02:47:40.456
i help people, families find

02:47:44.950 --> 02:47:46.563
housing by sending them to the
resources that you have but I
learned through hundred points

02:47:49.166 --> 02:47:51.634
family.
Y'all have to think about it
people need help and we have to

02:47:59.109 --> 02:48:00.643
help them.
Mr. Richard welcome.

02:48:02.512 --> 02:48:04.512
>> hi I am shaun richard.

02:48:08.840 --> 02:48:09.852
Thank you supervisor.
Let me just say this more poorly

02:48:12.555 --> 02:48:14.555
is that is not just about one

02:48:17.493 --> 02:48:19.562
organizations about all of them.
That are not being accurately
funding the right way because

02:48:19.562 --> 02:48:21.631
her proposal don't pick the
standards and we have to

02:48:21.631 --> 02:48:23.631
understand that we have to do

02:48:23.966 --> 02:48:25.966
better or you would be getting

02:48:31.174 --> 02:48:33.375
what you're getting today and
people complain about not being
able to fund the program so they

02:48:33.375 --> 02:48:35.375
can employ folks in the right

02:48:38.579 --> 02:48:41.282
way.
I've been doing this work for 22
years.
22 years and we came to the

02:48:43.852 --> 02:48:46.320
mayor's office and they have
been in this office have found
an organization to employ young

02:48:46.921 --> 02:48:48.656
folks.
And to see how this funding is

02:48:49.924 --> 02:48:51.924
been actually taken away I was

02:48:53.728 --> 02:48:55.461
reading an article last night
how african-americans are in the

02:48:55.830 --> 02:48:57.830
low totem pole unemployment it's

02:48:58.650 --> 02:48:59.799
not acceptable.
And I want to say to everybody

02:49:05.500 --> 02:49:06.738
here that has a position in
leadership understand your role

02:49:11.312 --> 02:49:13.446
and I want to see the supervisor
you guys need to start looking
at the apartments or funding

02:49:13.446 --> 02:49:15.147
these organization and making
sure that these organizations

02:49:18.160 --> 02:49:20.180
are up to par and are doing the
work that they're supposed to do
in the community.

02:49:20.180 --> 02:49:22.180
There are organization that does

02:49:23.560 --> 02:49:24.790
the work and it works very well
but they're not getting funded

02:49:26.257 --> 02:49:28.659
and they're not being recognized
and presented in the right way
to do the work that they're

02:49:29.996 --> 02:49:31.596
doing.
All I'm saying is that

02:49:37.169 --> 02:49:39.371
understand the work is not easy
it's hard but at the same time
you can give a young man a job

02:49:39.371 --> 02:49:41.973
and expect them to work for six
months and then tell him six
months later you don't have a

02:49:43.974 --> 02:49:46.576
job.
What is he going to do?
He's going to go to the streets

02:49:49.179 --> 02:49:51.179
and I deal with the high risk

02:49:55.320 --> 02:49:57.655
I'm telling you and along with
folks out there that make
decisions do what's right for

02:49:58.623 --> 02:50:00.357
the community.
>> thank you Mr. Richards next

02:50:03.861 --> 02:50:05.861
speaker please?

02:50:06.364 --> 02:50:09.265
>> I want to express my concern
of the funding.

02:50:13.170 --> 02:50:14.904
One thing I can say about the
program is that they help me get

02:50:16.390 --> 02:50:18.390
my first job and build and they

02:50:23.812 --> 02:50:25.547
also help me build character
>> thank you for your comments.

02:50:26.885 --> 02:50:28.885
Next speaker please?

02:50:30.920 --> 02:50:32.653
>> good afternoon commissioners
I'm oscar james and I'm native

02:50:35.291 --> 02:50:37.291
resident a lot of programs we

02:50:39.629 --> 02:50:41.629
started in 1970 such as yet

02:50:45.634 --> 02:50:47.302
committee developers we had a
program out there that was

02:50:50.906 --> 02:50:52.640
funded which was called manpower
and it was funded by the unions

02:50:54.676 --> 02:50:56.676
I think this committee should

02:50:56.745 --> 02:50:58.745
make the unions put money for

02:50:59.748 --> 02:51:01.748
the training programs I went to

02:51:05.587 --> 02:51:07.587
for training programs myself to

02:51:10.580 --> 02:51:12.626
get black folks to be hired in
the city and san francisco into
the going to it not to work.

02:51:15.196 --> 02:51:17.196
It takes money that's coming

02:51:18.165 --> 02:51:19.866
from committee development and
many that's coming from every

02:51:22.469 --> 02:51:24.105
area they should have their
monies coming into these

02:51:26.240 --> 02:51:28.674
training programs when they
finish these programs make sure
the unions keep the people

02:51:30.377 --> 02:51:32.111
working in these particular
programs when you come out of a

02:51:32.913 --> 02:51:34.913
training program annually work a

02:51:35.716 --> 02:51:37.716
year or two that is detrimental

02:51:39.319 --> 02:51:41.510
to the family.
We need people need permanent

02:51:42.388 --> 02:51:44.890
jobs in construction you work
nine months of the year you

02:51:45.290 --> 02:51:47.290
should make sure that 50% of all

02:51:56.168 --> 02:51:58.804
work in the city.
Percent citywide.
That way you guarantee the
people who live in the city get

02:51:58.804 --> 02:52:01.139
these jobs in the people coming
in taken a job from the

02:52:01.139 --> 02:52:02.840
community.
You have very few people from

02:52:03.242 --> 02:52:05.242
the communities working on these

02:52:06.770 --> 02:52:08.770
jobs if you fight and get them

02:52:11.150 --> 02:52:12.549
on these jobs these people can
work all year long.

02:52:15.820 --> 02:52:17.955
I've seen san francisco families
outworking I don't know too much
about him but I do see him out

02:52:17.955 --> 02:52:19.288
there on the street doing
things.

02:52:19.992 --> 02:52:21.992
Helping people to keep our

02:52:26.960 --> 02:52:28.765
people working criminal from the
prison system and working we
have to create jobs and it

02:52:31.535 --> 02:52:32.968
starts here.
>> thank you.

02:52:50.720 --> 02:52:52.720
I'm gonna call the last cards.

02:52:59.295 --> 02:53:01.295
Those are the last cards I have

02:53:05.760 --> 02:53:07.760
severe been heard your name and

02:53:08.700 --> 02:53:10.305
you want to speak please submit
a speaker card.
Next speaker please.
>> hi I brandy.

02:53:10.305 --> 02:53:12.730
And I'm here to voice my concern
about the funding being cut with

02:53:14.910 --> 02:53:16.978
hundred points family.
That is important to the
committee because it allows a

02:53:16.978 --> 02:53:19.680
community to interact with each
other whether they're good or

02:53:24.252 --> 02:53:25.986
bad.
And work through a common call

02:53:28.856 --> 02:53:31.591
with out there it's isolated.
Hundred points family is and has
helped the majority of the

02:53:34.280 --> 02:53:35.795
people living in the area of the
funding is cut what are we gonna

02:53:39.233 --> 02:53:41.335
do?
Thank you.
>> thank you for your comments.

02:53:41.402 --> 02:53:43.402
Next speaker please?

02:53:48.410 --> 02:53:49.742
>> how are you doing today.
I'm a san francisco resident

02:53:50.442 --> 02:53:52.442
born and raised.

02:53:56.282 --> 02:53:58.282
My concern is hundred points

02:54:00.420 --> 02:54:02.420
family has always been there for

02:54:05.625 --> 02:54:07.392
me I like to thank my supervisor
they have always been there for

02:54:11.130 --> 02:54:12.664
me.
From the bottom up.

02:54:15.100 --> 02:54:17.768
But now, it's just a concern
that we need to funding to keep

02:54:19.738 --> 02:54:21.738
us going because like the said

02:54:25.343 --> 02:54:27.430
we might not have a job please
don't take this funding away

02:54:28.313 --> 02:54:30.313
from us we need it.

02:54:30.582 --> 02:54:32.582
I just want to say I just got

02:54:33.651 --> 02:54:35.651
out of jail like eight months

02:54:37.921 --> 02:54:39.256
ago they gave me an opportunity
to work.

02:54:41.359 --> 02:54:44.227
And I really take that I really
work.
I work my butt off.

02:54:45.329 --> 02:54:47.329
I come to work and I get things

02:54:50.568 --> 02:54:53.360
done.
I just want you all, don't take
the funding from us we need it.

02:54:53.971 --> 02:54:55.971
Thank you.

02:54:57.439 --> 02:54:59.439
>> hi I the employment and

02:55:03.580 --> 02:55:05.815
retention manager for venice on
parent success.
We have never received a lot of

02:55:10.118 --> 02:55:11.853
funding, however, I can assure
you that the work we do in the

02:55:14.522 --> 02:55:17.250
committee no one else can do.
We take people off the corner we
give them and there we give them

02:55:24.799 --> 02:55:27.269
jobs in our office we do to help
him.
We have them in school.
we babysit for them to go on

02:55:27.269 --> 02:55:29.269
interviews.

02:55:33.640 --> 02:55:36.176
We do not get enough money.
We buy interview close for them.
We do whatever it takes for them

02:55:37.878 --> 02:55:39.580
to be successful.
And you comment on retention

02:55:41.849 --> 02:55:43.517
rate these are junk people how
many of you when you're 18

02:55:44.385 --> 02:55:46.118
exactly which were going to do
that you know what you're gonna

02:55:49.757 --> 02:55:51.524
do.
We have people that went to the

02:55:53.159 --> 02:55:55.159
program we just had a young man

02:55:57.640 --> 02:55:58.797
receive his bs from civics but
that's on another report you're

02:56:02.601 --> 02:56:05.360
not tracking that today.
We have people who got their
master's degree in social work

02:56:05.172 --> 02:56:07.172
from state but that's a whole

02:56:10.944 --> 02:56:12.811
another program none of you can
do what we do.
None of you.

02:56:15.915 --> 02:56:17.649
We have people in this office I
write a proposal with the baby

02:56:20.753 --> 02:56:22.954
on my lap so is mama can go down
to go to school.
Don't talk to me about something

02:56:25.658 --> 02:56:27.392
that's incorrect.
We serving the people were not

02:56:37.402 --> 02:56:39.700
serving anybody else there out
there looking for a job in

02:56:41.720 --> 02:56:42.506
school looking for housing.
>> thank you.

02:56:46.677 --> 02:56:48.677
Next speaker please.

02:56:52.584 --> 02:56:54.951
>> hi am a board member for the
new community leadership.
I want to thank Mr. Carr for his

02:56:58.889 --> 02:57:00.889
honesty I know that is not easy

02:57:01.892 --> 02:57:03.892
to do but I still think that

02:57:06.830 --> 02:57:08.498
when he said that there is 17
departments and they just

02:57:09.633 --> 02:57:11.400
started communicating a year ago
that lets you know that that's a

02:57:12.700 --> 02:57:14.700
culture that they created within

02:57:14.436 --> 02:57:16.436
their own entity of

02:57:21.945 --> 02:57:23.947
non-accountability there is
vision among their own self and
complacency that's a culture

02:57:23.947 --> 02:57:25.947
that they created for

02:57:26.649 --> 02:57:28.383
themselves.
And this is reaps possible for

02:57:31.953 --> 02:57:34.856
how they give out money.
For deciding the our fp
processes the accountability and

02:57:37.292 --> 02:57:39.628
when you look at while these
money is going to two different
committees and you still see

02:57:39.628 --> 02:57:41.628
problems that starts from the

02:57:48.970 --> 02:57:51.540
top if you have a culture and
even talked themselves to be
havoc on a culture that trickles
down.

02:57:51.540 --> 02:57:53.240
No wonder when the rfp comes out
they create division in the

02:57:56.378 --> 02:57:58.780
community.
There shall be a culture of

02:57:58.746 --> 02:58:00.447
unity but that does not exist
because no one talks to each

02:58:03.651 --> 02:58:05.385
other.
That's not even including the

02:58:06.352 --> 02:58:08.352
office of housing or economic

02:58:12.359 --> 02:58:14.359
development.

02:58:21.435 --> 02:58:23.571
I have serious concerns that
they have the capacity to decide
who gets the money.
That they have the process to
decide who gets the money.
I don't think they have the

02:58:23.937 --> 02:58:25.937
capacity to give out money and

02:58:27.574 --> 02:58:29.273
create accountability.
If you have no accountability

02:58:30.509 --> 02:58:32.509
then how, that's gonna hurt the

02:58:42.288 --> 02:58:44.423
organization.
They figure they just cut all
the money and thus can solve the

02:58:44.423 --> 02:58:46.423
problem.

02:58:52.564 --> 02:58:54.564
Thank you very much.

02:58:54.734 --> 02:58:56.734
>> hello I'm the executive

02:59:01.406 --> 02:59:03.400
director of the family.
I would like to take this

02:59:04.776 --> 02:59:06.509
opportunity to thank everyone
for this hearing and personally

02:59:12.116 --> 02:59:14.350
thank supervisor kim before you
leave for pointing me to the
mental health board.

02:59:14.485 --> 02:59:16.485
Thank you.

02:59:16.786 --> 02:59:18.786
What I wanted to say the

02:59:25.729 --> 02:59:27.729
relationship between -- and its

02:59:28.198 --> 02:59:30.198
direct relationship to other

02:59:35.671 --> 02:59:37.671
city departments and economic

02:59:44.714 --> 02:59:46.347
development.
They had some of the most

02:59:47.617 --> 02:59:49.617
different desperate economic

02:59:55.458 --> 02:59:57.792
factors what I mean by that we
have been in business 27 years
and so large number the

02:59:58.861 --> 03:00:00.861
population across a year have

03:00:01.797 --> 03:00:03.797
now become between 19-22 years

03:00:19.180 --> 03:00:21.180
of age.

03:00:22.483 --> 03:00:24.483
They are mental with dealing

03:00:26.386 --> 03:00:28.121
with mental health issues and we
talked about the fact that there

03:00:28.788 --> 03:00:30.788
is a crossover so we need to

03:00:37.397 --> 03:00:39.533
realize is that in the course of
doing economic development for
them because they need a future

03:00:39.533 --> 03:00:41.533
we also need to do with the

03:00:56.916 --> 03:00:58.916
trauma.

03:01:02.822 --> 03:01:04.822
>> thank you.

03:01:09.128 --> 03:01:12.970
Next speaker please
>> good afternoon I'm speaking

03:01:14.566 --> 03:01:16.566
on behalf of of tiffany want to

03:01:18.370 --> 03:01:20.370
leave.

03:01:24.109 --> 03:01:25.843
We are all members black workers
just don't need access to jobs

03:01:28.680 --> 03:01:30.448
we need good jobs even though we
had organize a union insecurity

03:01:31.415 --> 03:01:33.150
a one better wages and health
care we saw have a long way to

03:01:34.485 --> 03:01:36.252
go.
One fact you need to know in san

03:01:41.824 --> 03:01:43.493
francisco income for families so
hundred 4000 for family and

03:01:46.563 --> 03:01:48.931
20,000 for black families.
The starting weight for black
security offers is now than

03:01:49.333 --> 03:01:51.333
lesson begin income.

03:01:58.875 --> 03:02:00.977
It is 14.25 per hour.
Security offers in san francisco
are still struggling to get by

03:02:00.977 --> 03:02:03.445
to raise a family in san
francisco each parent would have
to earn at least an hourly wage

03:02:07.316 --> 03:02:09.316
of 18.52 to just make ends meet.

03:02:09.885 --> 03:02:11.885
Our solution and our current

03:02:18.594 --> 03:02:21.280
city of negotiation where
demanding wages and benefits
that will allow us to raise our

03:02:25.499 --> 03:02:27.569
families out of poverty.
we secured the buildings here in
san francisco downtown san

03:02:27.569 --> 03:02:30.171
francisco belonging to the
wealthiest companies in the
world.
It is time for the banks

03:02:33.908 --> 03:02:35.643
corporate real estate and tech
companies to play black workers

03:02:37.345 --> 03:02:39.460
teaches wages in san francisco.
Please stand with us in this

03:02:41.616 --> 03:02:43.500
fight.
>> thank you.

03:02:45.453 --> 03:02:47.219
Next speaker please.
>> good afternoon I'm a security

03:02:51.992 --> 03:02:53.726
officer as well.
I became a security officer 26

03:02:57.631 --> 03:03:00.980
years ago.
It's not what I planned on doing
with my life this is where I

03:03:00.367 --> 03:03:02.367
ended up I have a child going

03:03:09.800 --> 03:03:11.110
off to college but this is not
what were here for were not here
about me worry about the

03:03:11.110 --> 03:03:13.578
committee and that's what you're
here for.

03:03:13.578 --> 03:03:15.313
To have the committee continue.
My grandfather came out of the

03:03:16.115 --> 03:03:18.750
depression where they had to
struggle try to make ends meet

03:03:20.860 --> 03:03:22.860
trading close families getting

03:03:24.223 --> 03:03:26.223
together we should not as black

03:03:30.294 --> 03:03:31.929
people feel like now the
depression is on us alone.

03:03:32.432 --> 03:03:34.432
That is just not right.

03:03:35.467 --> 03:03:37.467
Like my sister said how can some

03:03:41.473 --> 03:03:43.707
people make one third more than
other people who are in the same
exec committee.

03:03:43.741 --> 03:03:46.677
How is it that one third of the
homeless are black why is it

03:03:47.777 --> 03:03:49.777
that one third of black people

03:03:51.749 --> 03:03:53.483
are unemployed?
Education system are not set up

03:03:54.585 --> 03:03:56.585
for it.

03:03:59.255 --> 03:04:01.557
Me and my wife are struggling to
pay for this college for
daughter because we do not

03:04:06.290 --> 03:04:08.764
qualify.
But what is making too much
money.
i make 60,000 your tummy because

03:04:14.571 --> 03:04:17.500
I make $60,000 a year I cannot
 -- we do not qualify for anything
$60,000 in san francisco is

03:04:17.807 --> 03:04:19.807
nothing.

03:04:21.278 --> 03:04:23.110
That's all I want to say.
>> thank you for your comments.

03:04:37.993 --> 03:04:39.727
Next speaker please?
>> we will like you for taking

03:04:42.731 --> 03:04:44.432
the stand and making a black
unemployment as you know our

03:04:45.467 --> 03:04:47.467
quarter james reached out to

03:04:48.535 --> 03:04:50.535
your offices because we wanted

03:04:51.639 --> 03:04:53.707
to work together for this
especially with the security
industry.

03:04:55.744 --> 03:04:57.744
Thank you.

03:04:57.912 --> 03:04:59.912
Welcome.

03:05:08.355 --> 03:05:10.757
>> good afternoon.
There are fundamental issues
that are raised here and I'm

03:05:13.227 --> 03:05:15.227
glad because when through the

03:05:18.665 --> 03:05:20.834
entirety and here we are.
I just want to commend you for
hauling this hearing I think

03:05:20.834 --> 03:05:22.834
there are certain things that we

03:05:23.368 --> 03:05:24.903
need to establish the mission is
really a great one.

03:05:27.740 --> 03:05:29.740
I remember when the mayors

03:05:32.345 --> 03:05:34.345
development was eliminated

03:05:41.787 --> 03:05:43.787
several decades ago.

03:05:44.957 --> 03:05:46.657
I think we need to get back to
the drawing board what is at

03:05:49.127 --> 03:05:51.127
issue how a department with 120

03:05:52.464 --> 03:05:54.464
programs and then we have this

03:05:54.732 --> 03:05:56.732
huge disparity I think

03:05:57.136 --> 03:05:59.136
reassessing that we have ever

03:06:01.339 --> 03:06:02.972
produced I can pull them out we
know what's on the ground.

03:06:06.878 --> 03:06:08.545
I'm a long time resident.
We need to establish with a

03:06:11.648 --> 03:06:13.983
supervisor the job that are in
the private sector so your
engagement with the private

03:06:18.422 --> 03:06:20.156
sector training it has to be a
course a key part moving forward

03:06:21.526 --> 03:06:23.192
before we are here today.
My suggestion is that this

03:06:31.670 --> 03:06:33.268
hearing is great but for you
going to go and all of this any
to be measured.

03:06:36.105 --> 03:06:37.839
Because again we have access to
the unemployed and we know the

03:06:38.607 --> 03:06:40.242
demographics so there is nothing
you and we don't have to

03:06:42.345 --> 03:06:44.345
reinvent the wheel.

03:06:44.446 --> 03:06:46.446
I interested as everyone to go

03:06:47.750 --> 03:06:49.750
back to see how were gonna do

03:06:52.655 --> 03:06:54.287
this job training and again all
the stakeholders with her

03:06:57.492 --> 03:06:59.661
nonprofit with the city and the
private sector.
That's gonna be the solutions

03:07:06.635 --> 03:07:08.703
that we need to pursue.
Thank you
>> thank you.
Next speaker please.

03:07:08.703 --> 03:07:11.171
We have any other members of the
public like to comment on this
particular hearing please get in

03:07:11.839 --> 03:07:13.574
line.
We're gonna be closing public

03:07:15.511 --> 03:07:17.511
comment momentarily.

03:07:26.221 --> 03:07:28.887
>> hi am gwendolyn brown
inner-city youth is a located in
the omi.
I don't think there's a

03:07:32.250 --> 03:07:34.526
neighborhood in san francisco
black community in san francisco
that's more disenfranchised in

03:07:34.727 --> 03:07:36.462
my community.
I'm here advocating on behalf of

03:07:40.966 --> 03:07:42.701
my clients.
16 to 24 years of age I think is

03:07:47.405 --> 03:07:49.141
very enlightening for me when
they mentioned that they are 17

03:07:54.180 --> 03:07:55.880
organizations or agencies that
have work force development.

03:08:00.152 --> 03:08:01.685
How many have access to -- to
these.
?

03:08:02.256 --> 03:08:04.256
I don't think there's one.

03:08:06.658 --> 03:08:08.658
It's problematic for me

03:08:09.610 --> 03:08:11.610
historically young people from

03:08:13.163 --> 03:08:15.163
my neighborhood would or clash

03:08:15.200 --> 03:08:17.200
with that neighborhood recently

03:08:18.837 --> 03:08:20.572
there was a homicide the
speculation that it's related to

03:08:28.714 --> 03:08:31.147
those issues.
Job announcements are great.
inner-city youth works very hard

03:08:32.816 --> 03:08:34.816
we been doing this since working

03:08:34.884 --> 03:08:36.884
2011.

03:08:40.240 --> 03:08:41.757
Because we saw that that was a
population that was not being

03:08:43.327 --> 03:08:45.327
served and missing every agency.

03:08:50.101 --> 03:08:52.135
Whether it was cps juvenile
nobody caught these kids and
unfortunately there were

03:08:52.135 --> 03:08:53.769
homeless in the neighborhood
that does not have public

03:08:55.371 --> 03:08:57.720
housing we have a lot of
residential housing so we do

03:08:58.107 --> 03:09:00.107
that get recognized.

03:09:00.429 --> 03:09:02.429
It's been difficult and were

03:09:03.312 --> 03:09:05.312
trying to make referrals I have

03:09:06.881 --> 03:09:08.881
been able to place when youth in

03:09:08.985 --> 03:09:10.985
a job from those announcements

03:09:11.687 --> 03:09:13.687
it would be great that we could.

03:09:14.722 --> 03:09:16.458
He was sent parents but it's
been a process trying to even

03:09:21.664 --> 03:09:23.397
get acknowledgment.

03:11:09.432 --> 03:11:11.432
President Is always on very

03:11:16.506 --> 03:11:18.907
proud of you and all the work
you do I'm proud today because
of you bringing this matter

03:11:24.213 --> 03:11:26.581
before us am proud because it's
really important that we get
reports that our community

03:11:28.951 --> 03:11:30.651
african-american community is in
such a desperate need to meet

03:11:35.891 --> 03:11:38.125
some basic standards and the
leadership of you mme.
President Is so important.

03:11:38.226 --> 03:11:40.226
I want to remind everyone that

03:11:40.862 --> 03:11:42.862
when we started we started it on

03:11:44.132 --> 03:11:46.132
the basis of a collective

03:11:52.775 --> 03:11:54.508
community with the city.
That meant that each and every

03:11:55.909 --> 03:11:57.909
one of them I was already doing

03:11:58.846 --> 03:12:00.846
some work needed to be continue

03:12:01.382 --> 03:12:03.382
to do work but it needed to be

03:12:05.219 --> 03:12:07.219
maybe cultured May be supervised

03:12:07.622 --> 03:12:09.321
maybe help.
But it didn't mean that they

03:12:13.192 --> 03:12:15.192
should be the spell.

03:12:15.394 --> 03:12:17.394
I want to make this a point to

03:12:19.466 --> 03:12:21.466
all of us that when you're

03:12:21.668 --> 03:12:23.668
hitting numbers like we have and

03:12:27.400 --> 03:12:29.941
there in the paper that is a
kind of desperate needs a

03:12:32.878 --> 03:12:34.878
committee has than that

03:12:35.150 --> 03:12:37.150
apartment was a resources should

03:12:38.517 --> 03:12:40.517
then say you know what, we

03:12:42.200 --> 03:12:43.587
redirect those resources to
what's really needed.

03:12:47.325 --> 03:12:49.325
I encourage city build to look

03:12:51.829 --> 03:12:53.829
at the big picture the

03:12:56.467 --> 03:12:58.202
perspective of the collector.
I came out of five district 5,

03:13:00.238 --> 03:13:02.500
10 and 11 and I expect that
those districts which have that

03:13:02.974 --> 03:13:04.974
special need to be given that

03:13:12.483 --> 03:13:15.180
need and then direction once
again thank you very much.
>> thank you.
Do you have any other members of

03:13:15.180 --> 03:13:17.180
the cop public the would like to

03:13:17.554 --> 03:13:19.788
speak?
Plot comic is not close just to
wrap this or not.

03:13:20.570 --> 03:13:22.570
I want to say thank you to the

03:13:25.195 --> 03:13:27.663
members of the public the
committee that came out here
today to advocate for what they

03:13:29.700 --> 03:13:31.400
want to see happen with the
decision that we make here at

03:13:34.837 --> 03:13:36.973
city hall every single day.
It means a lot to me to hear the
stories to hear about the

03:13:36.973 --> 03:13:38.973
program that I personally know

03:13:39.707 --> 03:13:41.444
are working but to hear directly
from the people whose life we

03:13:45.414 --> 03:13:47.815
want to change.
This is what this is about.
I don't want to see my community

03:13:50.853 --> 03:13:53.321
continue to lose in this battle
with the wealth that continues
to overwhelm the city time and

03:14:01.496 --> 03:14:03.632
time again we are fighting just
for a small dollar amount in
order to try and support and

03:14:03.632 --> 03:14:06.990
sustain a community that's been
here for really long time and
that continues to get the short

03:14:08.680 --> 03:14:10.537
end of the stick.
To have them come out here and
talk about some amazing things

03:14:13.207 --> 03:14:14.941
that they are doing to see the
expressions on their face about

03:14:17.278 --> 03:14:19.120
employment opportunities and
serve other people that means a

03:14:35.362 --> 03:14:37.362
lot to

03:14:39.433 --> 03:14:41.866
me I am overwhelmed by
the public comment but I was
also happy to see so many people

03:14:43.603 --> 03:14:45.337
come out.
I hope even it was a first time

03:14:46.172 --> 03:14:48.172
as I know much of them was I

03:14:51.542 --> 03:14:53.542
hope this is their last time.

03:14:59.170 --> 03:15:01.886
This is a discussion about
unemployment.
We haven't even scratched the
surface on the discussion about

03:15:06.858 --> 03:15:09.940
housing.
And access to affordable housing
housing.

03:15:09.940 --> 03:15:11.460
Were still having those
discussions as we speak.
But I want to make sure that we

03:15:11.696 --> 03:15:13.330
take this momentum and have
members of different see

03:15:16.435 --> 03:15:18.870
department.
I know karen from child support
services you are proud of the

03:15:24.809 --> 03:15:27.430
young man who has a job this is
what this is about.
What side that instills in a

03:15:29.140 --> 03:15:30.745
person that is employed able to
pay their rent and take care of

03:15:32.381 --> 03:15:34.850
their families were trying to
apply accomplish some basic

03:15:41.223 --> 03:15:43.693
things here.
There are some next steps and I
know that there are other items

03:15:47.262 --> 03:15:49.264
on the agenda and my colleagues
and waited patiently.
I want to say briefly the next

03:15:49.264 --> 03:15:51.264
steps are clearly there is a

03:15:58.974 --> 03:16:01.177
problem with funding and we need
to fix it we need to develop the
retention job plan even further

03:16:01.177 --> 03:16:03.612
so were not just getting people
employed but were keeping him
employed.

03:16:03.612 --> 03:16:05.612
We need to look at what Miss

03:16:05.849 --> 03:16:07.849
Davis talked about and what were

03:16:14.389 --> 03:16:16.491
doing to make sure and some of
the public commenters make
comment about mental health and

03:16:16.491 --> 03:16:18.225
drama and some the challenges
that many of these families are

03:16:19.294 --> 03:16:21.729
going through and were expecting
them to show up to a job that we
want to be upset that they're

03:16:23.164 --> 03:16:24.897
not making it on time but we
don't understand what is a hold

03:16:34.908 --> 03:16:37.277
up and why.
Trying to make sure that we
develop better relationships

03:16:44.817 --> 03:16:47.190
with these companies so that
come up part of being a partners
not just giving money to things

03:16:47.190 --> 03:16:48.754
it's also saying were going to
add internship were gonna work

03:16:49.323 --> 03:16:51.550
with you were going to hire from
city build working to continue

03:16:51.891 --> 03:16:53.891
to make sure that people who

03:16:54.728 --> 03:16:56.495
have been a part part of that
and the neck like that committee

03:16:58.398 --> 03:17:00.398
of the city are finally going to

03:17:03.200 --> 03:17:04.769
get treated like they deserve an
opportunity to advance than just

03:17:06.105 --> 03:17:08.105
construction.

03:17:08.540 --> 03:17:10.540
I want to thank folks again the

03:17:10.643 --> 03:17:12.643
work that you are doing the list

03:17:14.178 --> 03:17:16.647
goes on.
Local two and others just some
of the new programs I've heard

03:17:17.483 --> 03:17:19.250
about.
We have work to do to make sure

03:17:21.553 --> 03:17:23.287
that the funding and we will be
looking at this at the funding

03:17:28.793 --> 03:17:31.229
cycle this is allocated to keep
those folks employed in support
other programs are doing the

03:17:33.832 --> 03:17:35.832
word -- work.

03:17:38.202 --> 03:17:40.637
Again look at job retention and
look where we need to be more
innovative in developing this

03:17:44.642 --> 03:17:47.110
program so that it works and so
that we go after and target the
folks that we know needed the

03:17:50.781 --> 03:17:52.515
most.
Where that this is a first is

03:17:56.860 --> 03:17:58.554
not the last I have a whole
other list suppression but again
that this is been going on for

03:17:59.389 --> 03:18:01.125
far too long over three hours
and I know we have other items

03:18:02.759 --> 03:18:04.259
on the agenda and people waited
patiently as well.

03:18:06.830 --> 03:18:08.496
With that I don't want to close
this hearing out I want to

03:18:14.638 --> 03:18:17.137
continue it.
>> I know that we had some
closing comments.
>> I do.

03:18:21.343 --> 03:18:23.343
Opening comments my name is been

03:18:26.114 --> 03:18:28.583
on the roster for three hours
but I will delay them until the
next hearing given the backlog

03:18:29.251 --> 03:18:31.251
of items that we have I would

03:18:33.321 --> 03:18:35.321
like to know Mr. Carr to what

03:18:40.428 --> 03:18:42.620
extent I concur -- from the
funding issue that's been

03:18:44.198 --> 03:18:46.198
brought up I do really worry

03:18:50.104 --> 03:18:51.805
about the reality and all these
departments so I look at your

03:18:53.207 --> 03:18:55.207
first slide and they have a huge

03:18:55.209 --> 03:18:57.209
number of different

03:18:57.845 --> 03:18:59.845
responsibilities but you also

03:19:04.951 --> 03:19:06.719
look at age is a not to mention
agencies that could easily be on

03:19:13.428 --> 03:19:16.395
this list the sheriffs
department and the school

03:19:20.266 --> 03:19:22.968
district public health they're
all sorts of aspect is there any

03:19:27.440 --> 03:19:28.807
regular cross departmental
meetings?

03:19:32.144 --> 03:19:34.611
Because get together and talk
this problem I have been on and
off the sport since willie brown

03:19:38.249 --> 03:19:39.984
has been mayor.
This is not new news but we keep

03:19:42.870 --> 03:19:43.721
repeating the same thing without
any better result it's a

03:19:50.229 --> 03:19:52.397
definition of insanity.
When I first was a member of
this board the african-american

03:19:52.397 --> 03:19:54.397
population was almost twice as

03:20:10.614 --> 03:20:12.614
high day as soon.

03:21:57.490 --> 03:21:58.783
To do the job.
Miss Davis anything you want to

03:21:59.152 --> 03:22:01.152
add?

03:22:03.622 --> 03:22:05.922
>> I would like to agree with
you and the struggle is the idea
of capacity building.

03:22:07.293 --> 03:22:09.260
We've heard that there is a
range of service providers are

03:22:10.629 --> 03:22:12.629
doing the work but my struggle

03:22:14.266 --> 03:22:15.999
is what's the capacity that's
happening with city agency as

03:22:17.134 --> 03:22:18.835
well.
We'll talk about the service

03:22:24.741 --> 03:22:27.760
provider in order to bridge the
divide and have honest
conversation about what success

03:22:29.681 --> 03:22:32.114
looks like.
I will continue to stress it.
Is just not about the workforce

03:22:33.784 --> 03:22:35.518
component but the piece around
the other services that need to

03:22:36.988 --> 03:22:38.988
be happening I don't know that's

03:22:39.220 --> 03:22:41.220
building out chapter 30 or

03:22:44.610 --> 03:22:45.794
anything but I'm hoping that
there's a will to push some of

03:22:46.962 --> 03:22:48.962
that forward and hopefully you

03:22:49.660 --> 03:22:51.660
can help with that.

03:22:52.468 --> 03:22:54.468
>> I will love to have her sit

03:22:55.504 --> 03:22:57.504
on this committee and the

03:22:57.940 --> 03:22:59.674
knowledge that she brings
thinking about that chapter 30

03:23:03.779 --> 03:23:05.546
alignment.
>> maybe for another hearing it

03:23:08.250 --> 03:23:10.250
would be nice to put some

03:23:20.828 --> 03:23:23.231
numbers with it.
We have a hearing on
benchmarking and performance
scorecards.

03:23:23.231 --> 03:23:24.997
It would be nice to put able to
put numbers around these things

03:23:26.701 --> 03:23:28.701
this is a small population.

03:23:30.738 --> 03:23:32.338
We can get numbers on youth
employment programs and

03:23:35.542 --> 03:23:37.542
apprenticeships and youth work,

03:23:43.850 --> 03:23:46.352
that would be helpful
>> the thing that I struggle the
most is that to get real honest

03:23:48.956 --> 03:23:50.956
authentic I don't know what that

03:23:52.125 --> 03:23:54.125
is -- as you do this this hearing

03:24:07.906 --> 03:24:10.740
is great but some of these it's
just not about who's been in
that program is can the schools

03:24:10.740 --> 03:24:11.843
they need so that when they're
finished they're willing to the

03:24:14.120 --> 03:24:16.120
program I think it's a dr h

03:24:28.459 --> 03:24:30.159
question as well how come some
of these folks are doing the

03:24:36.670 --> 03:24:38.535
work with how come they're not
rolling into some of these other
positions I think that it can be

03:24:40.504 --> 03:24:42.504
tied

03:24:47.110 --> 03:24:49.110
>> one last comment.

03:24:52.282 --> 03:24:54.160
Thank you.
The board of supervisors is not

03:25:03.860 --> 03:25:05.860
on a copy it?

03:25:06.263 --> 03:25:08.263
>> if you want to get permission

03:25:08.965 --> 03:25:10.965
I be happy to do so.

03:25:11.602 --> 03:25:14.602
>> I have one last comment
relative this is kind of budget

03:25:22.344 --> 03:25:24.344
thing I want to say that I share

03:25:32.587 --> 03:25:34.988
residence bree frustration.
As it relates to similar types
of services district that I

03:25:35.423 --> 03:25:37.423
represent.

03:25:38.930 --> 03:25:40.930
That's made clear but I just

03:25:41.529 --> 03:25:43.796
wanted to say public.
>> offered as well, sir, and
were looking into it.

03:25:45.500 --> 03:25:47.200
>> thank you.
>> again I just want to thank

03:25:50.804 --> 03:25:52.804
President Bree and:-haven't

President To bring it to us.

03:26:01.810 --> 03:26:03.817
For presenting today hundreds
came to speak on this important
issue.
I'm hoping that over the next

03:26:07.854 --> 03:26:10.289
couple of months to the project
process that we will have a
meaningful and robust discussion

03:26:18.130 --> 03:26:19.865
of how to invest.
I look forward to working with

03:26:28.841 --> 03:26:30.575
you and I know many members I
know the great work that you're

03:26:46.925 --> 03:26:48.925

>> thank you Mr. Clark.

03:27:03.874 --> 03:27:05.874
My apologies we thought there

03:27:06.440 --> 03:27:08.440
were gonna start this run at 11

03:27:08.645 --> 03:27:10.645
11:30 A.M. I know many members

03:27:12.782 --> 03:27:15.252
have had to leave but what I'm
gonna do for this hearing where
going to call public comment

03:27:16.252 --> 03:27:18.454
first.
For item number two.
I didn't want to give our

03:27:26.329 --> 03:27:28.497
treasure an opportunity to say a
few words before we began of
course I want to make a very

03:27:28.497 --> 03:27:30.230
brief introduction remark.
When supervisor john call for

03:27:37.606 --> 03:27:39.606
this hearing the potential

03:27:41.577 --> 03:27:43.577
inequity that it impacted

03:27:46.415 --> 03:27:48.415
honestly I was not sure but I

03:27:52.253 --> 03:27:54.253
just have to think mason our

03:27:55.890 --> 03:27:57.890
organization for the homeless in

03:27:58.126 --> 03:28:00.126
particular their office for

03:28:03.998 --> 03:28:05.699
ensuring that we spend time over
the last year coming up with

03:28:06.600 --> 03:28:08.600
proposals that we can

03:28:13.874 --> 03:28:15.174
effectively put our residents
more.

03:28:17.440 --> 03:28:19.440
I said it before san francisco

03:28:21.146 --> 03:28:22.747
should not be in the business of
impoverishing poor and

03:28:39.398 --> 03:28:41.398
working-class families.

03:28:43.435 --> 03:28:45.435
I look forward to working with

03:28:53.744 --> 03:28:55.814
all of you and I learned a lot
about the city I did not know
that san francisco court has

03:28:55.814 --> 03:28:57.548
stopped suspending drivers
license in conjunction with lack

03:29:15.432 --> 03:29:17.432
of payment on fees and I'm glad.

03:31:22.219 --> 03:31:24.219
Second the recommendation that

03:31:25.123 --> 03:31:26.723
we have in this report we put
forth the ones are more

03:31:33.630 --> 03:31:35.630
realistic.

03:31:37.768 --> 03:31:39.502
Finally some of the
recommendations we put in here

03:31:49.279 --> 03:31:51.120
would delineate disparities.
201640.7 of all the failure to

03:31:53.383 --> 03:31:55.383
pay arrest that we studied were

03:32:01.591 --> 03:32:03.591
for blacks in san francisco.

03:32:06.395 --> 03:32:08.395
This is needed.

03:32:11.267 --> 03:32:12.967
>> thank you and I want to thank
for all the work that you've

03:32:19.773 --> 03:32:21.773
done Mr. Brian?

03:32:22.811 --> 03:32:24.811
>> how are you doing.

03:32:25.212 --> 03:32:27.212
This is almost as important item

03:32:30.385 --> 03:32:32.586
that talking about as
child-support debt.
This is important as all of

03:32:34.454 --> 03:32:36.454
those people that you think of

03:32:40.894 --> 03:32:43.263
here with you before today.
You probably would've seen as
many folks come as we did

03:32:44.164 --> 03:32:46.164
organize an effort on some of

03:32:49.369 --> 03:32:51.370
these issues.
I was gonna say ladies and

03:32:53.607 --> 03:32:55.607
gentlemen this has so much

03:33:01.114 --> 03:33:02.848
impact on our communities
specifically people of color of

03:33:03.683 --> 03:33:05.683
the gonna say african-americans

03:33:06.352 --> 03:33:08.352
but I will say people of color

03:33:23.836 --> 03:33:25.769
this impacts.
They returned and filled of

03:33:29.709 --> 03:33:31.709
these steps and then pops up 25

03:33:33.811 --> 03:33:35.811
years later guess what your

03:33:37.115 --> 03:33:38.882
first check someone cause
utility by the way we have your

03:33:40.151 --> 03:33:41.885
money.
And if you want to continue were

03:33:42.987 --> 03:33:44.987
gonna work out a deal with you

03:33:46.570 --> 03:33:48.570
when the kids look at that they

03:33:49.270 --> 03:33:51.270
can see 30, $40,000 a go this is

03:33:52.496 --> 03:33:54.496
impossible.

03:34:08.745 --> 03:34:10.479
So ict as board members this is
really great I can only speak

03:34:12.247 --> 03:34:13.916
for one item.
But I support your efforts.

03:34:14.817 --> 03:34:17.719
Please pass this item.
Thank you very much.

03:34:21.224 --> 03:34:23.224
>> thank you.

03:34:25.695 --> 03:34:27.695
>> greeting supervisor I'm a

03:34:30.132 --> 03:34:31.833
native of san francisco this
pilot program is accepted it

03:34:36.104 --> 03:34:38.507
will give me the opportunity to
receive back the income that I'm
being conducted out of each

03:34:43.243 --> 03:34:45.413
paycheck.
It would give me the opportunity
to get my income tax back in

03:34:45.413 --> 03:34:47.413
becoming homeowner and allow me

03:34:49.350 --> 03:34:51.520
to get passport just this year I
pay child support and whistle

03:34:52.120 --> 03:34:54.120
provided for my child but before

03:34:54.755 --> 03:34:56.755
I can pay it all a continues to

03:34:57.559 --> 03:34:59.259
add these there are so many is
not to work because they can

03:35:01.662 --> 03:35:03.296
afford to and the amount they
will take other paycheck.

03:35:16.510 --> 03:35:18.211
Please support this program.
Rather have my license taken

03:35:34.827 --> 03:35:36.827
because child-support.

03:35:48.173 --> 03:35:50.173
>> thank you.

03:35:53.178 --> 03:35:55.178
Good afternoon.

03:35:56.147 --> 03:35:58.147
I'm a senior program officer I

03:36:15.164 --> 03:36:17.164
manager economic photo.

03:36:18.169 --> 03:36:20.169
Have been a handful of I thought

03:36:20.971 --> 03:36:23.773
this really and truly has the
potential to address

03:36:27.944 --> 03:36:29.944
heartbreaking poverty to the

03:36:31.314 --> 03:36:33.150
core issue.
The financial justice in the

03:36:36.152 --> 03:36:38.587
recommendations to develop you
peel back the layers because the
core I think that these were

03:36:39.188 --> 03:36:41.188
conditions are also just it we

03:36:41.691 --> 03:36:43.691
think about it in terms we

03:36:44.270 --> 03:36:46.270
cannot possibly help consider

03:36:46.862 --> 03:36:48.862
economic success if we trap them

03:36:49.531 --> 03:36:51.531
in cycles.

03:36:52.135 --> 03:36:54.135
Imagine the possibilities we

03:36:54.602 --> 03:36:56.602
give them the opportunity to let

03:36:57.506 --> 03:36:59.506
them dollars go to their

03:37:14.921 --> 03:37:16.921
children.

03:39:00.856 --> 03:39:02.524
His vehicle was towed he ended
up going the wrong hearing

03:39:04.827 --> 03:39:06.241
location because the process is
complicated.

03:39:09.232 --> 03:39:11.399
He lost his housing and was put
on the street.
Another client I worked with was

03:39:14.336 --> 03:39:16.336
applying and he was distracted

03:39:19.741 --> 03:39:21.474
from that process ticket he
received by sitting on the steps

03:39:25.880 --> 03:39:27.581
of the san francisco library.
I just want to say that these

03:39:33.753 --> 03:39:35.753
other recommendations.

03:39:50.437 --> 03:39:52.104
>> thank you.
Thank you for giving me the

03:39:56.409 --> 03:39:58.430
opportunity testimony today.
We know that through the

03:40:03.583 --> 03:40:05.583
research that often time very

03:40:05.651 --> 03:40:07.651
governments impose fines and

03:40:10.289 --> 03:40:12.289
fees that cannot lose.

03:40:14.560 --> 03:40:17.462
We also know specifically
exclude building of color.
Leaving them vulnerable to

03:40:20.766 --> 03:40:22.500
practices.
From a policy report that more

03:40:24.200 --> 03:40:26.200
than $50 billion and that is

03:40:29.607 --> 03:40:31.607
house and eyes and sees.

03:40:32.477 --> 03:40:34.477
Type of activities be charged on

03:40:36.247 --> 03:40:37.914
for minor offenses like parking
tickets fees and other fees

03:40:38.816 --> 03:40:40.450
associated with children.
Much of this step is not

03:40:42.119 --> 03:40:44.119
collected because they do not

03:41:12.887 --> 03:41:14.887
have the money to pay fees and

03:41:15.856 --> 03:41:17.556
in turn causes state and local
government to cause more and

03:41:20.727 --> 03:41:22.727
collect what they can do.

03:41:24.964 --> 03:41:26.964
Tosses most financial insecurity

03:41:27.133 --> 03:41:29.133
too low, and household he also

03:41:34.941 --> 03:41:36.675
played a role quality and should
be since the network focuses on

03:41:42.247 --> 03:41:44.547
helping the families taking all
these issues as one of her
spotlight reports to help

03:41:46.219 --> 03:41:48.219
educate the community.

03:41:48.654 --> 03:41:50.654
Were developing a webinar to

03:41:51.388 --> 03:41:53.388
highlight the issue including

03:41:53.658 --> 03:41:55.292
highlighting some the finding of
the brief a new financial

03:41:58.930 --> 03:42:00.930
justice.

03:42:02.333 --> 03:42:04.660
>> thank you.
I see more people have come up

03:42:20.617 --> 03:42:22.617
in of call them.

03:42:26.690 --> 03:42:28.690
>> good afternoon.

03:42:29.192 --> 03:42:31.192
I pamela and I business

03:42:32.395 --> 03:42:33.695
partnership manager in the bay
area.

03:42:37.100 --> 03:42:39.100
As most of you be aware of the

03:42:39.335 --> 03:42:41.335
united way provides our way to

03:42:43.439 --> 03:42:45.439
the research that have economic

03:42:46.475 --> 03:42:48.475
excess.

03:42:49.343 --> 03:42:51.790
We say that we live in the cycle
but that is almost impossible to

03:42:54.160 --> 03:42:56.151
do we have to break that.
We do that with a number of
programs which is an education

03:42:56.151 --> 03:42:58.151
center across the countries that

03:43:01.890 --> 03:43:03.457
we serve we provide street
services for individuals who
need it and fall within the

03:43:05.994 --> 03:43:07.694
parameters.
211 as a helpline to connect

03:43:09.497 --> 03:43:11.263
callers.
And I have a team of people who

03:43:14.469 --> 03:43:16.469
help to work with transition

03:43:19.840 --> 03:43:21.608
cues between 16-24.
As we face breaking the cycle of

03:43:26.113 --> 03:43:27.880
poverty there are successes a
traffic ticket or even a public

03:43:29.381 --> 03:43:31.381
transportation violation if not

03:43:31.752 --> 03:43:34.688
paid multiplies because of the
fees.

03:43:36.590 --> 03:43:38.590
You probably saw the front page

03:43:39.626 --> 03:43:41.259
the woman that talked about a
$76 ticket which is now

03:43:46.566 --> 03:43:48.566
thousands that she has to pay.

03:43:49.763 --> 03:43:52.270
People prioritize the way in
which they spend their money.
They look at all the fees of

03:43:56.909 --> 03:43:59.342
accumulated in violations they
make the decision to eat and
then say it's too much and they

03:44:00.713 --> 03:44:02.413
cannot pay.
It affects the ability to get

03:44:16.995 --> 03:44:19.430
jobs and drivers license.
On behalf of united way we
support the recommendation thank

03:44:24.501 --> 03:44:26.501
you.

03:44:28.338 --> 03:44:30.338
>> hello.

03:44:34.745 --> 03:44:36.479
I'm equal justice an attorney.
I represent a low income and

03:44:52.195 --> 03:44:53.862
homeless youth use.
There is huge problem with

03:44:55.310 --> 03:44:57.310
racial disparities in policing

03:45:12.481 --> 03:45:14.481
our actions.

03:45:16.586 --> 03:45:19.186
When my clients get pulled over
other giving tickets and the
understand these fines are

03:45:22.390 --> 03:45:24.125
absolutely big large it makes
him less likely for them to go

03:45:27.795 --> 03:45:29.429
to court and do with them.
Some example is one of my

03:45:31.298 --> 03:45:33.298
clients is years old she was a

03:45:35.335 --> 03:45:37.335
failure to yield her ticket was

03:45:41.750 --> 03:45:42.809
almost $2000 when my clients is
17 driving with no license and

03:45:46.380 --> 03:45:48.114
no registration and insurance
the things that were seen in the

03:45:49.750 --> 03:45:51.450
adult traffic courts often are
not reflected in the juvenile

03:46:07.967 --> 03:46:09.967
traffic courts.

03:46:51.242 --> 03:46:53.344
San francisco county is the only
county in california that's
never charge of these fees to

03:46:53.344 --> 03:46:55.344
families youth in the juvenile

03:46:56.480 --> 03:46:58.213
justice system.
San francisco has an opportunity

03:47:02.519 --> 03:47:04.987
to do more.
I have some the highest rates of
enforcement of anti-homeless

03:47:11.920 --> 03:47:13.920
loss in the state.

03:47:13.896 --> 03:47:15.896
Researchers shown that

03:47:17.990 --> 03:47:19.990
interaction with the justice

03:47:19.235 --> 03:47:20.936
system and corporate and that's
drives low income people into

03:47:22.471 --> 03:47:24.471
poverty because of this of

03:47:25.174 --> 03:47:27.174
people of color at all stages of

03:47:27.443 --> 03:47:29.443
our criminal justice system they

03:47:37.319 --> 03:47:40.187
find fees only exacerbates this
much more.
They should be proud to have the
foresight to create a financial

03:47:43.358 --> 03:47:45.759
justice program and examine the
ways work fines and fees impact
some of the members of our

03:47:47.161 --> 03:47:48.895
community.
It should be noted that they are

03:47:50.898 --> 03:47:52.632
costly for local government.
In fact our research has shown

03:47:53.701 --> 03:47:55.701
that local jurisdictions often

03:47:56.369 --> 03:47:58.369
spend money trying to collect

03:48:00.206 --> 03:48:02.207
call-I've been court related
debt.
Resulting in a high pain low

03:48:05.444 --> 03:48:07.146
gain with little benefit to
anyone.
Thank you.

03:48:09.983 --> 03:48:11.983
>> thank you so much.

03:48:12.953 --> 03:48:14.953
>> hi.

03:48:16.156 --> 03:48:18.156
I am the director of ration eat

03:48:22.727 --> 03:48:25.197
equity and a profit.
I want to start by thanking you
for taking the time to here on

03:48:27.633 --> 03:48:30.101
this very important issue.
I know firsthand what it is to
received a traffic ticket that

03:48:30.536 --> 03:48:32.536
you cannot pay.

03:48:33.305 --> 03:48:35.305
That due to on paid traffic

03:48:38.144 --> 03:48:40.144
tickets affects many

03:48:48.420 --> 03:48:50.154
californians.
The issue is compounded due to

03:48:51.656 --> 03:48:53.656
over policing and law

03:48:53.758 --> 03:48:55.758
enforcement is there pulled over

03:48:56.361 --> 03:48:58.361
at a rate.

03:48:59.464 --> 03:49:01.232
Our analysis was very similar to
that and we echo the reforms and

03:49:03.300 --> 03:49:05.300
we asset the first to be

03:49:05.669 --> 03:49:07.669
instituted in a statewide

03:49:09.540 --> 03:49:11.540
ability that basis track pick

03:49:15.746 --> 03:49:18.214
fines and fees on their needs.
It is ludicrous that a person
making 6 or 7 figures paying the

03:49:25.456 --> 03:49:27.189
same amount.
It does not work various success

03:49:30.660 --> 03:49:32.761
shown that I leslie
uncollectible that that is over
two years.

03:49:35.640 --> 03:49:36.798
It is heartening to see this
taking steps to come up with a

03:49:41.237 --> 03:49:43.237
permanent solution thank you.

03:49:45.408 --> 03:49:47.408
>> thank you.

03:49:51.546 --> 03:49:53.981
>> good morning.
I work at committee housing
partnership and was a member of

03:49:58.820 --> 03:50:00.554
the task force.
I'm here today to echo some of

03:50:01.722 --> 03:50:03.722
the recommendations that I found

03:50:03.858 --> 03:50:05.858
to be particularly important.

03:50:06.760 --> 03:50:08.760
First I want to urge the board

03:50:09.330 --> 03:50:11.660
to do everything in its power to
pay evaluations facing traffic

03:50:12.633 --> 03:50:14.633
violations specially to quality

03:50:16.137 --> 03:50:18.137
of life.

03:50:23.143 --> 03:50:25.143
We learned the collections

03:50:25.779 --> 03:50:27.779
increase when people fights are

03:50:38.892 --> 03:50:40.892
based on their inability to pay.

03:50:48.100 --> 03:50:49.868
And also all the turn attempts.
Of course permanent practice of

03:50:51.804 --> 03:50:53.804
not referring to pay violations

03:51:03.815 --> 03:51:06.283
to the dmv.
And finally, this is all about
more than just financial justice

03:51:06.852 --> 03:51:08.852
it's about social justice.

03:51:09.854 --> 03:51:11.854
We know that homeless people as

03:51:12.355 --> 03:51:14.355
well as people of color are over

03:51:15.727 --> 03:51:17.727
representative and then been

03:51:18.863 --> 03:51:20.863
affected resulting from failure

03:51:35.579 --> 03:51:37.579
to appear and pay.

03:51:44.421 --> 03:51:46.456
Hi I'm janice lee when it comes
to advocating of our user in our
street we have experts.

03:51:46.456 --> 03:51:48.456
We are demanding we use our

03:51:51.727 --> 03:51:53.462
people power especially the tens
of thousands who bike every day.

03:51:53.930 --> 03:51:55.930
But when it comes to things

03:51:56.533 --> 03:51:58.533
outside and advocating for

03:52:01.737 --> 03:52:03.506
everyone it has been
historically painfully silent on

03:52:06.241 --> 03:52:08.475
this issue.
We want to change that.
That is why I'm in strong

03:52:09.177 --> 03:52:11.177
support of the recommendation by

03:52:26.695 --> 03:52:28.695
the task force.

03:52:43.275 --> 03:52:45.275
After learning more about the

03:52:46.712 --> 03:52:48.712
task force what I came away with

03:52:50.483 --> 03:52:52.483
if you seek safe streets and

03:52:53.654 --> 03:52:55.388
transportation justice you
cannot compromise on other forms

03:52:57.891 --> 03:52:59.658
of justice.
Will the bill to authorize this

03:53:01.294 --> 03:53:03.294
pilot has been put on hold we

03:53:04.697 --> 03:53:06.398
continue to ensure an equitable
fee structure that can ensure

03:53:15.207 --> 03:53:16.974
safety streets.
We look forward to establishing

03:53:17.743 --> 03:53:19.743
a divergent program for people

03:53:35.294 --> 03:53:37.294
who are ticketed.

03:53:42.600 --> 03:53:44.267
>> good afternoon.
I'm an attorney with legal

03:54:00.949 --> 03:54:03.385
services proud member first of
all and tickets are not from the
outset charts an amount that

03:54:03.552 --> 03:54:05.552
people are able to pay families

03:54:07.989 --> 03:54:09.989
are forced to choose to pay rent

03:54:11.600 --> 03:54:13.600
for food consider for and sent

03:54:14.563 --> 03:54:16.931
michel a mother of two
supporting her family on a
limited income as a nonprofit

03:54:17.733 --> 03:54:19.733
caseworker a few years ago she

03:54:25.140 --> 03:54:26.808
got a couple of tickets when she
couldn't find the time her

03:54:30.779 --> 03:54:32.446
balloon ticketed to almost $2500
and her drivers license was

03:54:33.415 --> 03:54:35.415
suspended.

03:54:35.684 --> 03:54:37.684
In the end she overpaid from her

03:54:39.220 --> 03:54:41.220
tickets and cost her to be late

03:54:42.924 --> 03:54:44.691
on rent and other bills.
Michel was rejected because her

03:54:48.363 --> 03:54:49.996
wages were garnished.
Other people before our

03:54:56.971 --> 03:54:59.173
colleagues have mentioned they
can cause them to loser jobs and
therefore counterproductive to

03:54:59.173 --> 03:55:01.173
getting them to pay off their

03:55:13.860 --> 03:55:15.187
traffic court.
It creates unique barriers for
people that are re-entering

03:55:15.187 --> 03:55:17.623
society for instance we spoke
with a young person how to drive
a son to the hospital to get

03:55:30.836 --> 03:55:33.137
chemotherapy peers pirates the
board to make san francisco a
leader on this issue.

03:55:33.872 --> 03:55:35.872
Thank you.

03:55:55.560 --> 03:55:57.560
>> thank you.

03:56:05.101 --> 03:56:07.250
hi.
I lisa and the ceo of a

03:56:13.810 --> 03:56:15.411
nonprofit I'm here today to
speak in support of the

03:56:19.716 --> 03:56:21.417
recommendation and the impact in
this case in the form of high

03:56:33.195 --> 03:56:35.263
cost penalties and fees have on
our community.
Over 50% of san francisco
residents are considering

03:56:35.263 --> 03:56:37.333
fragile.
This means they like enough
savings to cover a $500 expense

03:56:37.333 --> 03:56:40.134
without going into debt in
addition, working people are

03:56:45.730 --> 03:56:47.508
suffering the working depth.
Studies show swings between
income and expenses as high as

03:56:48.310 --> 03:56:50.440
30%.
It is not difficult to see that

03:56:53.448 --> 03:56:55.181
in the face crippling financial
a ticket could set in motion a

03:56:57.784 --> 03:56:59.453
downward spiral from which it is
almost impossible to cover.

03:57:04.358 --> 03:57:06.920
The irving institute cost city
hall's and taxpayers as much is

03:57:07.228 --> 03:57:09.228
54 million each year due to the

03:57:24.845 --> 03:57:26.845
cost of unpaid bills.

03:57:36.456 --> 03:57:38.456
The number one reason they're

03:57:38.857 --> 03:57:40.857
not accessible is an unexpected

03:57:44.296 --> 03:57:46.296
expense results these fees cost

03:57:59.176 --> 03:58:01.176
more of a price of the ticket we

03:58:09.487 --> 03:58:11.487
urge you to work on solutions.

03:58:16.594 --> 03:58:18.995
Good afternoon.
The criminalization of homeless
people have been recognized

03:58:19.963 --> 03:58:21.963
nationally as a huge civil

03:58:24.235 --> 03:58:26.702
rights issue the federal
government has local application
when they apply for federal

03:58:31.375 --> 03:58:33.642
funds if they do not in cage and
try to move away from
criminalization the justice

03:58:37.747 --> 03:58:40.149
department of unusual punishment
yet san francisco have the
highest number of the laws of

03:58:45.488 --> 03:58:47.222
the state.
Over the past year what happened

03:58:48.991 --> 03:58:50.991
before there were homeless

03:58:51.794 --> 03:58:53.794
people who can pay their fines

03:59:01.270 --> 03:59:03.737
they can get court dates unless
they pay the original finds it
warns also civil assessments the

03:59:05.240 --> 03:59:07.240
warns of leads to arrest they

03:59:08.410 --> 03:59:10.110
remove the warns now the courts
so were no longer arresting

03:59:16.817 --> 03:59:19.186
homeless people for me to for
portable were still putting
civil assessments on unpaid

03:59:21.655 --> 03:59:23.323
fines about $300.
Last year homeless people

03:59:27.595 --> 03:59:29.595
receive just for sitting or

03:59:29.763 --> 03:59:31.763
lying arresting some form of

03:59:42.276 --> 03:59:44.900
rest.
It still a lot of time of energy

03:59:56.540 --> 03:59:58.255
spent on this.
There is a specific
recommendation that allows

03:59:58.758 --> 04:00:00.758
people to be in services as a

04:00:05.497 --> 04:00:08.331
way of getting credit for their
fines paid.
It would simplify process that
arctic cyst with the district

04:00:10.735 --> 04:00:12.735
attorney so people have to go to

04:00:13.538 --> 04:00:15.538
court back in different times.

04:00:21.646 --> 04:00:23.646
>> thank you.

04:00:27.180 --> 04:00:28.785
>> I'm scott nelson I'm a member
of the task force but I want to

04:00:32.990 --> 04:00:35.290
thank you first answering the
task force and I want to speak
about when item about

04:00:36.193 --> 04:00:38.193
recommendations we recommended

04:00:41.633 --> 04:00:43.866
in section 4
four the committee
service option be expanded to

04:00:44.568 --> 04:00:46.568
make it more accessible and

04:00:54.744 --> 04:00:57.211
finds.
This started out in 2010 the
board to pass a resolution that

04:01:13.796 --> 04:01:15.796
there would be $15.

04:01:20.235 --> 04:01:21.903
What's interesting is that
presently someone has a $50

04:01:25.307 --> 04:01:27.410
ticket and they wanted to
committee service I have to pay

04:01:28.743 --> 04:01:30.445
a $75 fee.
One of the things you should

04:01:32.614 --> 04:01:34.381
look to especially since it's
gonna go into effect in a couple

04:01:41.389 --> 04:01:43.889
months and I hope you accept the
recommendation of the tie report
and thank you again for allows

04:02:00.606 --> 04:02:02.606
to serve on the task force.

04:02:13.186 --> 04:02:15.186
I wanted to recognize all the

04:02:16.622 --> 04:02:19.890
stores were not here today
because there's concerns about
putting their faces forward on

04:02:19.625 --> 04:02:21.625
the issue.

04:02:23.162 --> 04:02:25.162
The issue has impact people who

04:02:25.763 --> 04:02:27.763
are in progress.

04:02:32.371 --> 04:02:34.380
Myself, I have an income and I'm
hit with a fee I can absorb

04:02:50.388 --> 04:02:52.388
that.

04:02:57.394 --> 04:02:59.394
We hope that support the

04:03:02.660 --> 04:03:04.660
recommendations of the cycle of

04:03:04.468 --> 04:03:06.468
poverty at this court finds that

04:03:12.609 --> 04:03:15.110
are keeping people and our
mission is to help our residents
achieve self-sufficiency and is

04:03:15.378 --> 04:03:17.378
the crucial tool for housing our

04:03:18.781 --> 04:03:20.816
residents and getting them out
from underneath this burden of
debt.

04:03:21.918 --> 04:03:23.918
Thank you.

04:03:26.489 --> 04:03:28.121
>> thank you.
>> good afternoon I'm an

04:03:30.226 --> 04:03:32.226
attorney.

04:03:32.828 --> 04:03:34.828
I run a legal clinic and we have

04:03:48.376 --> 04:03:50.376
plans other people talk about

04:03:50.745 --> 04:03:52.745
the burden but we have heard

04:04:08.228 --> 04:04:10.228
many stories

04:04:20.807 --> 04:04:22.474
>> thank you.
I'm in a call a couple more

04:04:41.930 --> 04:04:43.930
speaker cards luis gonzalez.

04:04:48.967 --> 04:04:51.402
James to me about this issue
about this morning other than
that I would've known anything
about it.

04:04:51.402 --> 04:04:53.170
And a lot of people in my
committee come out and spoke on

04:04:54.372 --> 04:04:56.372
behalf of of the task force and

04:04:58.743 --> 04:05:00.511
recommendation family members
personal family members are came

04:05:01.813 --> 04:05:03.813
out and spoke I don't have any

04:05:05.550 --> 04:05:07.284
tickets of them plast to not
have any tickets I did get one

04:05:19.763 --> 04:05:22.197
ticket and I paid for it it
would help them in clearing
their tickets and help them get

04:05:36.547 --> 04:05:38.547
a job.

04:05:41.916 --> 04:05:43.517
am I am kelly cutler and I'm
here in support of the

04:05:46.288 --> 04:05:48.288
recommendations as a social

04:06:05.740 --> 04:06:07.975
worker I can tell you
that a
gentleman came to the office a

04:06:09.276 --> 04:06:11.276
few weeks ago and he had an

04:06:11.880 --> 04:06:13.880
unusual citation for eating a

04:06:15.315 --> 04:06:17.315
slice of pizza and a muni bus

04:06:17.618 --> 04:06:19.618
stop.

04:06:20.721 --> 04:06:22.721
I saw that I said I've seen a

04:06:23.691 --> 04:06:25.691
lot of very interesting ones

04:06:26.493 --> 04:06:28.493
he's a senior he's very just

04:06:29.395 --> 04:06:31.130
such a mellow sweet guy and he
was really embarrassed when he

04:06:36.503 --> 04:06:38.971
came in.
He was taking responsibility for
this but having to go through a

04:06:43.510 --> 04:06:45.978
lot of hoops to do that.
I think a reaction, help them to
a little better because we were

04:06:47.480 --> 04:06:49.214
like this is ridiculous.
And that's a perfect example of

04:06:53.587 --> 04:06:55.320
a situation where a warning he's
eating a slice of pizza and a

04:07:05.898 --> 04:07:07.898
bus stop he said my buddy got a

04:07:19.109 --> 04:07:21.109
citation for drinking coffee.

04:07:22.981 --> 04:07:24.981
Thank you.

04:07:27.184 --> 04:07:29.184
I have one more speaker card.

04:07:44.601 --> 04:07:46.601

these policies changes it's a

04:08:43.357 --> 04:08:45.910
correlation of organization for
the rights and organizing across

04:08:51.333 --> 04:08:53.665
the west coast.
We receive these trends
everywhere across a was close in

04:09:04.978 --> 04:09:06.712
la and portland.
i think that is folks have been

04:09:07.980 --> 04:09:09.980
talking about the trend in

04:09:25.262 --> 04:09:27.262
california has been pretty awful

04:09:42.647 --> 04:09:44.647

>> thank you supervisors

04:10:31.927 --> 04:10:33.627
>> thank you so much what a day.
We really heard from a lot of

04:10:35.764 --> 04:10:37.365
folks about some critically
important issues in our

04:10:42.237 --> 04:10:43.937
community it's been a very
important day for all of us I

04:10:47.442 --> 04:10:49.442

I want to thank everyone who

should upper public comment.
To the supervisors I want to
know that there were around 40

04:11:04.958 --> 04:11:06.958
so folks here who wanted to

04:11:09.496 --> 04:11:11.230
speak on this issue earlier and
I'm really grateful for so many

04:11:27.880 --> 04:11:29.880
folks who stuck around.

04:11:41.930 --> 04:11:43.460
Okay there it is.
I really like this pattern of
having so many people speak

04:11:44.862 --> 04:11:46.862
before me so many folks at this

04:11:49.700 --> 04:11:51.700
better than I could art task

04:11:52.237 --> 04:11:54.237
force was made up of about nine

04:11:55.173 --> 04:11:56.907
city and county departments we
had the san francisco superior

04:11:58.943 --> 04:12:00.943
court at the table and we had a

04:12:01.212 --> 04:12:03.212
run for community groups.

04:12:07.985 --> 04:12:09.720
Representatives of that.
Our charge was to develop a put

04:12:11.389 --> 04:12:13.389
forward the reforms to the

04:12:14.625 --> 04:12:16.625
burdens that many fine fees and

04:12:18.894 --> 04:12:20.894
tickets have a low con people in

04:12:22.298 --> 04:12:23.999
our committee.
We've all done a lot of work

04:12:26.690 --> 04:12:27.770
over the last six months I feel
like all the departments and

04:12:28.405 --> 04:12:30.405
committee groups came to the

04:12:38.114 --> 04:12:40.249
table with open minds and a
constructive spirit and ready to
roll up your sleeve and I'm

04:12:40.249 --> 04:12:43.160
really proud of the work that we
did and the recommendations that

04:12:53.562 --> 04:12:56.300
we have forward.
I get asked how did it come
about and it really grows all of

04:13:12.713 --> 04:13:14.713
our financial empower work

04:13:31.465 --> 04:13:33.199
I was
looking at this with this ticket

04:13:34.733 --> 04:13:36.733
and it was, is a few hundred

04:13:36.970 --> 04:13:38.970
dollars.

04:13:41.875 --> 04:13:43.875
At the time I was helping them

04:13:44.811 --> 04:13:46.410
to automatically open the
savings account for all

04:13:48.581 --> 04:13:50.315
kindergartners and I've been
looking at this research study

04:13:52.500 --> 04:13:53.650
that shows that if americans had
to come up with $500 in

04:13:57.489 --> 04:13:59.550
emergency that 60% of them
simply couldn't do it.

04:14:05.163 --> 04:14:07.598
They lack the savings.
I was thinking I can pay this
but I know there's people who

04:14:07.731 --> 04:14:09.731
can't and what happens when

04:14:16.642 --> 04:14:18.642
people can pay.

04:14:20.210 --> 04:14:21.912
When ferguson happened and
michael brown was tragically

04:14:27.284 --> 04:14:28.918
shot and killed unarmed.
We saw this form of cash

04:14:33.857 --> 04:14:35.591
register justice I think that
really helped start a national

04:14:39.429 --> 04:14:40.996
conversation
>> mem I'm so sorry.

04:14:43.900 --> 04:14:45.834
For the sake of time because
were only in item 2
two of six.

04:14:46.638 --> 04:14:48.638
We can go directly to the

04:14:57.146 --> 04:14:59.146
recommendation.

04:15:00.216 --> 04:15:02.216
No problem.

04:15:02.952 --> 04:15:04.952
We made recommendations in six

04:15:07.156 --> 04:15:08.823
areas.
These work collaboratively

04:15:10.459 --> 04:15:12.459
decided upon by the task force

04:15:16.898 --> 04:15:18.531
and we tried to look at what was
causing the most pain and

04:15:19.901 --> 04:15:21.901
community and then really back

04:15:30.144 --> 04:15:31.878
into solutions that were doable
the areas on the slide are the

04:15:32.880 --> 04:15:34.880
ones that I'm going to kind of

04:15:37.351 --> 04:15:39.552
go through right now.
And again we made
recommendations in six areas.

04:15:40.655 --> 04:15:42.655
The first is the ability to pay

04:15:46.426 --> 04:15:48.940
that whenever possible we base
the amounts on people to my

04:15:53.765 --> 04:15:56.201
ability to pay.
So that they don't I have an and
in eckel burden on people and

04:16:01.641 --> 04:16:03.975
people of color.
We heard from a lot of
researchers looked a lot of what

04:16:07.513 --> 04:16:09.513
was happening in other cities

04:16:10.448 --> 04:16:12.448
and there is research and they

04:16:16.155 --> 04:16:18.623
spoke to it that when you make
fines and fees more reasonable
that people are more likely to

04:16:22.761 --> 04:16:25.330
pay them.
And what some of these court
pilot program showed is
fascinating.

04:16:25.330 --> 04:16:27.330
The overall revenues that came

04:16:28.667 --> 04:16:30.366
mean when up and the
disproportionate impact when

04:16:32.837 --> 04:16:34.837
down.

04:16:37.475 --> 04:16:39.142
Think about it, and makes sense.
We know that a fee can hit

04:16:45.216 --> 04:16:47.251
people very differently.
Inc.
About that stop sign in my
neighborhood.

04:16:47.251 --> 04:16:49.251
Every doctor gets the same

04:16:58.528 --> 04:17:00.262
ticket it can be an annoyance.
We are recommending and we work

04:17:04.667 --> 04:17:06.869
very hard to develop recommended
standards for ability to pay
that are in these

04:17:08.137 --> 04:17:10.137
recommendations we want them to

04:17:11.606 --> 04:17:13.606
include flexible payment plans

04:17:15.911 --> 04:17:17.911
and community service options to

04:17:19.849 --> 04:17:21.849
participate in we want to make

04:17:24.853 --> 04:17:26.853
this easy for department courts

04:17:31.590 --> 04:17:32.759
so we talked a lot about how can
we make it easy for people to

04:17:36.464 --> 04:17:38.466
prove what their income is and
we would really like to move
towards having the same

04:17:38.466 --> 04:17:40.466
standards throughout all city

04:17:41.770 --> 04:17:43.770
county and clerk proceedings.

04:17:47.983 --> 04:17:49.137
The next area drivers license
suspension you've heard a lot

04:17:56.784 --> 04:17:59.530
about this when people formula
and adults getting their
licenses suspended for inability
to pay.

04:17:59.530 --> 04:18:01.530
That 70% of the adult

04:18:16.502 --> 04:18:18.502
population.

04:18:22.440 --> 04:18:24.910
We want to applaud the court
they have showed such leadership
in the space of being the first

04:18:25.440 --> 04:18:27.440
superior court to stop

04:18:42.760 --> 04:18:45.529
suspending drivers license
you
heard earlier there some reforms

04:18:47.598 --> 04:18:49.598
that we need to all traffic

04:18:55.506 --> 04:18:58.375
court as well.
We need disability to pay,
process and be present
throughout all traffic

04:18:59.744 --> 04:19:02.145
proceedings.
I do want to say that I'm going
very quickly through these

04:19:18.695 --> 04:19:20.695
recommendations

04:19:23.166 --> 04:19:24.833
our goal is that
we don't want to be in the

04:19:29.372 --> 04:19:31.720
business of simply punishing
people for being poor and we

04:19:33.342 --> 04:19:35.750
want to take away the barriers
to employment and housing that

04:19:36.312 --> 04:19:38.312
these citations we heard about a

04:19:41.830 --> 04:19:42.850
lot of workers often just when
someone was about to get into an

04:19:46.922 --> 04:19:48.922
apartment or to get a job this

04:19:57.998 --> 04:19:59.733
payment is a problem.
These tickets sometimes jump to

04:20:16.500 --> 04:20:18.500
$500

04:20:53.919 --> 04:20:55.919
leslie we had many

04:21:01.260 --> 04:21:03.460
conversations with police and
what we heard was the felt like
they can often accomplish the

04:21:05.163 --> 04:21:07.163
same thing in the moment with a

04:21:11.690 --> 04:21:12.803
written admonishment.
We really want to work with the

04:21:29.186 --> 04:21:31.186
police

04:21:55.945 --> 04:21:57.945
this is where people are

04:22:01.850 --> 04:22:03.885
struggling with getting the car
style.
No 10% of san francisco ants who

04:22:04.453 --> 04:22:06.453
get the cartels cannot afford to

04:22:07.550 --> 04:22:09.550
get those back.

04:22:11.293 --> 04:22:12.960
we heard a lot about people
wanting to access committee

04:22:23.805 --> 04:22:25.539
service or payment plan I want
to say that they were actively

04:22:35.115 --> 04:22:37.284
at the table and their presence
and participation in this tops
force was really constructive we

04:22:37.284 --> 04:22:39.852
look forward to continuing to
work with him.
Our recommendation specifically

04:22:41.521 --> 04:22:43.521
include expanding committee

04:22:45.125 --> 04:22:46.824
service and payment plan options
make it a more accessible and

04:22:53.600 --> 04:22:55.934
affordable.
We have very specific
recommendations on how we think

04:22:56.135 --> 04:22:58.135
we should expand towing and boot

04:22:59.405 --> 04:23:01.405
release.

04:23:05.377 --> 04:23:07.377
Also to base citations on

04:23:15.620 --> 04:23:17.620
people's ability to pay.

04:23:18.757 --> 04:23:20.757
Our next area is bale I'm

04:23:22.426 --> 04:23:24.426
gonna's not going to speak on

04:23:24.796 --> 04:23:26.796
this because reagan have a

04:23:42.413 --> 04:23:44.413
hearing on this later.

04:23:54.910 --> 04:23:56.910
If two people are in jail charge

04:24:01.164 --> 04:24:03.599
with the same thing and the
wealthy person can get out but
the poor person need to stay

04:24:17.680 --> 04:24:19.414
behind, that is just unfair.
The last area of recommendations

04:24:23.852 --> 04:24:26.219
that I want to mention is in the
area of child support that.
We heard some folks speak to

04:24:31.693 --> 04:24:34.128
this earlier.
Specifically I'm talking about
child support that is owed to

04:24:34.129 --> 04:24:36.129
the government to reimbursement

04:24:38.990 --> 04:24:40.990
of the government.

04:24:40.802 --> 04:24:42.802
This was put into place by the

04:24:44.704 --> 04:24:46.406
federal government and I think a
lot of people don't know how

04:24:48.509 --> 04:24:50.509
this works which is that often

04:24:51.110 --> 04:24:53.110
times usually a young woman a

04:24:55.115 --> 04:24:56.816
mother if she needs help taking
care of her child and applies

04:25:00.819 --> 04:25:02.819
for help the state starts to

04:25:06.580 --> 04:25:08.580
bill a father and then to

04:25:11.631 --> 04:25:13.631
reimburse the government.

04:25:14.233 --> 04:25:16.233
And then, unfortunately what

04:25:17.403 --> 04:25:19.403
happens those payments are due

04:25:20.390 --> 04:25:22.390
whether or not the father is

04:25:26.145 --> 04:25:28.613
unemployed they can really grow
as we've heard in san francisco
there's $120 million of child

04:25:33.685 --> 04:25:35.818
support that's owed to the
government that's been deemed
uncollectible.

04:25:36.220 --> 04:25:37.955
There's 12,000 families are so
in san francisco the majority of

04:25:41.593 --> 04:25:43.593
whom are less than $10,000 a

04:25:45.950 --> 04:25:47.950
year.

04:25:50.468 --> 04:25:52.202
We want, we are so lucky that we
have an incredible department of

04:25:52.670 --> 04:25:54.670
child support services under the

04:25:55.974 --> 04:25:57.974
leadership that it is really

04:25:58.343 --> 04:26:00.343
forward thinking so we are

04:26:01.312 --> 04:26:03.312
looking forward to working with

04:26:05.315 --> 04:26:07.717
karen and their departments to
implement reforms to make sure
that when people pay child

04:26:09.186 --> 04:26:11.186
support that it actually lives

04:26:11.988 --> 04:26:13.988
up to its name and goes to

04:26:17.260 --> 04:26:18.761
people's children.
They are already doing so much

04:26:25.133 --> 04:26:27.570
in this area of their developing
and have been experimenting with
other options allow people to

04:26:28.937 --> 04:26:30.937
pay down this child support that

04:26:31.807 --> 04:26:33.475
that's owed to the government
and we want to continue to

04:26:39.883 --> 04:26:41.984
support them in their reforms
and to do more of things that
they already doing putting

04:26:41.984 --> 04:26:43.984
forward realistic child support

04:26:44.286 --> 04:26:46.286
orders.

04:26:47.489 --> 04:26:49.223
Reinstating drivers license and
in san francisco I'm very proud

04:26:53.928 --> 04:26:55.662
that we don't jail people we
don't send people to jail when

04:26:58.766 --> 04:27:00.766
they can't pay child support

04:27:03.370 --> 04:27:05.337
that is owed to the government.
That is a body of our
recommendation I really want to

04:27:06.400 --> 04:27:08.400
encourage you to read the

04:27:10.678 --> 04:27:12.412
reports look been at the table
with so many folks over the last

04:27:17.784 --> 04:27:19.784
six months this is tough stuff.

04:27:23.923 --> 04:27:25.656
It was not easy we get into the
issues of revenue and equity of

04:27:29.662 --> 04:27:31.662
fairness of injustice of crime

04:27:34.801 --> 04:27:36.801
and punishment some time but

04:27:38.704 --> 04:27:40.405
it's important given how many
people are struggling in san

04:27:43.309 --> 04:27:45.743
francisco and again we quote
from those folks and given what
is happening at the national

04:27:47.146 --> 04:27:48.812
level in our country.
I cannot tell you how many

04:27:53.250 --> 04:27:55.989
people other cities have reached
out to us

04:28:02.393 --> 04:28:04.127
>> thank you.
Thank you so much for that very

04:28:07.198 --> 04:28:09.198
passionate presentation from a

04:28:10.133 --> 04:28:12.133
year of work and many varsity

04:28:19.877 --> 04:28:21.877
agencies.

04:28:25.148 --> 04:28:27.148
I also want to acknowledge mark

04:28:28.219 --> 04:28:29.851
who had also participated in all
of the meetings with you.

04:28:32.870 --> 04:28:34.870
I look forward to making

04:28:35.592 --> 04:28:37.592
permanent policies to re-feud,

04:28:38.862 --> 04:28:40.862
refer and hope that we can all

04:28:43.900 --> 04:28:45.500
be unified in our position which
will make a tremendous

04:28:49.570 --> 04:28:51.570
difference throughout the state.

04:28:54.677 --> 04:28:56.444
I want to recognize the director
who was here from child support

04:28:58.247 --> 04:29:00.247
this is a huge piece of the pie

04:29:02.417 --> 04:29:04.151
in terms of what were saying
around five's and fees I look

04:29:08.592 --> 04:29:10.991
forward to partnering with you
and the task force on your
recommendations and proposals to

04:29:12.627 --> 04:29:14.627
really relieve so many

04:29:15.960 --> 04:29:17.960
individuals are burdened by this

04:29:18.131 --> 04:29:20.131
and just unfair law that was

04:29:21.968 --> 04:29:23.968
passed under making welfare

04:29:24.538 --> 04:29:26.538
recipients more accountable and

04:29:27.708 --> 04:29:29.342
bringing more people under ms
steps and other types of

04:29:31.979 --> 04:29:33.979
financial pressures.

04:29:35.830 --> 04:29:37.830
Colleagues on this report it's

04:29:47.726 --> 04:29:49.896
incredibly rich in information.
I'm impressed with all the work
and how was put together in a

04:29:49.896 --> 04:29:51.896
format for everyone to focus on

04:29:53.666 --> 04:29:55.666
a couple of different areas.

04:29:56.502 --> 04:29:58.502
This is a larger source of

04:29:59.271 --> 04:30:01.271
conversation that we have how do

04:30:03.142 --> 04:30:05.142
we raise revenue can we pay for

04:30:06.879 --> 04:30:09.245
services that we provide to you
and I think that were seen
cerney to the ferguson report

04:30:16.540 --> 04:30:18.189
and our own report that they are
a way for us to deliver services
to our residents and while we

04:30:18.189 --> 04:30:20.991
want to ensure the people are
fun the roles and that we have a

04:30:22.627 --> 04:30:24.326
good community and society that
we wanted to do it in the way

04:30:30.434 --> 04:30:32.902
were it's a deterrent but not
putting people out of housing or
making it physical for them to

04:30:33.904 --> 04:30:35.904
their jobs.

04:30:37.341 --> 04:30:39.742
Since overheard public comment I
want to let my colleagues if
they want to make any closing

04:30:46.482 --> 04:30:48.985
remarks?
What I'm gonna do some and asked
that we continue this item to

04:30:49.352 --> 04:30:51.352
the call of the chair I'll be

04:30:54.257 --> 04:30:56.257
working very closely and was

04:30:57.193 --> 04:30:59.193
freed.

04:31:00.930 --> 04:31:02.631
To follow up with either some
amendments for the work they

04:31:09.638 --> 04:31:11.940
were doing.
To implement the
recommendations.
Thank you so much this is so

04:31:11.940 --> 04:31:14.575
incredibly important and
honestly it's very good work.

04:31:16.479 --> 04:31:18.212
Thank you.
I made a motion to continue this

04:31:23.251 --> 04:31:25.654
autumn to the call of the chair
and I can do that with
opposition.
Again thank you for when he

04:31:25.654 --> 04:31:27.821
showed up patiently waited for
many hours and we will have this

04:31:32.600 --> 04:31:33.794
urine again.
Mr. Clark can you please call

04:31:41.435 --> 04:31:44.710
item number three.
>> resolution urging the
retirement port of the
employer's return system to

04:31:44.710 --> 04:31:46.710

driven if we do not collectively

04:37:00.905 --> 04:37:02.905
Okay.

04:37:06.645 --> 04:37:09.790
Thank you in the essence of time
we had to separate presentation
and we combine them into one

04:37:10.815 --> 04:37:12.548
slideshow.
If some of the numbering is out

04:37:13.518 --> 04:37:15.518
of order that is why.

04:37:16.321 --> 04:37:18.321
Again record to present the

04:37:36.505 --> 04:37:38.505
audit results and plan

04:37:58.761 --> 04:38:00.761
a single

04:38:02.463 --> 04:38:03.998
audit for san francisco the
office of comedian

04:38:06.201 --> 04:38:08.201
infrastructure which is also

04:38:23.984 --> 04:38:25.984
know the agency for the rda.

04:38:26.190 --> 04:38:27.754
We will move forward to going
over the audit result from the

04:38:28.790 --> 04:38:30.790
fiscal year before we go into

04:38:35.296 --> 04:38:37.296
the other plants the city's

04:38:42.636 --> 04:38:44.636
comprehensive report or issued

04:38:46.106 --> 04:38:48.106
on time they had modified

04:38:49.341 --> 04:38:51.341
opinions which is a higher ones

04:38:52.578 --> 04:38:54.313
that you can achieve we had a
qualified opinion for two of the

04:38:55.649 --> 04:38:57.649
programs and modified opinions

04:38:59.919 --> 04:39:01.553
for others.
In our report we included

04:39:03.556 --> 04:39:05.556
reports on internal controls

04:39:17.770 --> 04:39:20.238
over financial reporting in your
packet you have a report call
the report government audit and

04:39:21.573 --> 04:39:23.307
oversight committee and that
particular report includes the

04:39:25.376 --> 04:39:27.770
required agent under
professional standards and it

04:39:28.130 --> 04:39:30.130
highlights the e quality affects

04:39:31.616 --> 04:39:33.616
of the audit.

04:39:35.687 --> 04:39:37.419
With that I will go into the
current year recommendation from

04:39:37.922 --> 04:39:39.922
the fiscal year.

04:39:41.257 --> 04:39:42.993
There were no audit findings
from this audit but we did have

04:39:44.128 --> 04:39:46.128
three findings related to the

04:39:53.904 --> 04:39:55.505
single findings the first item
relates to procurement

04:39:56.739 --> 04:39:58.739
requirements for the

04:40:00.976 --> 04:40:02.976
firefighters grant the

04:40:04.547 --> 04:40:06.248
particular fire meant
requirements for specialized

04:40:07.984 --> 04:40:09.984
equipment the department needed

04:40:10.853 --> 04:40:12.487
to obtain in terms of the
equipment they did obtain

04:40:14.991 --> 04:40:16.991
approval for a contract with

04:40:20.495 --> 04:40:22.495
equipment provider what happened

04:40:23.640 --> 04:40:26.333
is that there was two different
companies that were authorize
and because there was a source

04:40:30.572 --> 04:40:32.840
contract they needed to go
through the particular
procurement process and the

04:40:49.456 --> 04:40:51.456
department did not do

04:41:00.567 --> 04:41:02.934
so
>> the individual that was
responsible is no longer with

04:41:06.572 --> 04:41:08.572
the department.

04:41:09.409 --> 04:41:11.409
>> that is news to me.

04:41:14.647 --> 04:41:16.281
The second finding and it
relates to you a special

04:41:18.151 --> 04:41:20.151
requirement for the partnership

04:41:21.354 --> 04:41:23.354
program and is called the

04:41:36.235 --> 04:41:38.369
maximum per unit.
In this particular incident when
you that the loan exceeded the

04:41:38.369 --> 04:41:40.369
required structural of $1.2

04:41:47.679 --> 04:41:49.881
million and originally the loan
in the shown amount what was in
there but because of time that

04:41:49.881 --> 04:41:51.881
it took to actually execute the

04:42:05.863 --> 04:42:07.597
project with the provision but
because of requirement that it

04:42:08.666 --> 04:42:10.666
can never exceed the limit with

04:42:26.248 --> 04:42:28.248
the federal funding

04:42:37.292 --> 04:42:39.292
the third

04:42:41.630 --> 04:42:43.298
finding is on reporting and as
it relates to the community

04:42:44.700 --> 04:42:46.700
development block grant as well

04:42:52.441 --> 04:42:54.441
as a home and investment program

04:42:56.111 --> 04:42:58.111
the report was not correct

04:43:00.348 --> 04:43:02.683
because of that.
My understanding is that
department already contact to

04:43:09.657 --> 04:43:11.358
correct it that they were doing.
And then with that I will go

04:43:13.494 --> 04:43:15.940
over the prior your
recommendations as well.

04:43:18.298 --> 04:43:20.700
As part of his our process we
follow up on any recommendations
that we May have had from a

04:43:37.217 --> 04:43:39.217
previous audit.

04:43:41.521 --> 04:43:43.521
Now with the audience as we said

04:43:45.570 --> 04:43:46.758
we audited for entities in the
reports for all form received

04:43:51.129 --> 04:43:53.129
unmodified or a clean bill of

04:43:56.635 --> 04:43:58.635
health we did have one finding

04:43:59.538 --> 04:44:01.538
on the compliance audit for m

04:44:03.375 --> 04:44:05.109
ta.
We tested general controls over

04:44:07.779 --> 04:44:10.246
time control and we had findings
of over system access and change
of management for example out of

04:44:11.349 --> 04:44:13.349
38 out of 400 users there were

04:44:15.530 --> 04:44:17.530
able to bypass settings for the

04:44:32.100 --> 04:44:33.636
timesheets a couple of times
where user access is not

04:44:35.372 --> 04:44:37.372
activated timely and the

04:44:38.942 --> 04:44:40.942
standard policies and procedures

04:44:44.581 --> 04:44:47.150
are not formally documented
there's also no formal review of
existing and new users as it

04:44:48.351 --> 04:44:50.351
relates to time control so mta

04:44:51.988 --> 04:44:53.988
agreed with the findings at have

04:44:55.924 --> 04:44:57.592
implemented actions to remit
payment those findings were

04:45:00.529 --> 04:45:02.162
currently testing it in the
current year to see those

04:45:08.337 --> 04:45:10.710
findings have been corrected.
Moving on to the 16, 17 audit

04:45:12.541 --> 04:45:14.541
plans we have one slide of the

04:45:15.610 --> 04:45:17.344
audit.
High-level objectives were audit

04:45:21.490 --> 04:45:22.783
is to express an opinion what
the financial statement has been

04:45:23.718 --> 04:45:25.718
prepared by management are

04:45:43.402 --> 04:45:45.402
presented fairly.

04:45:51.344 --> 04:45:53.746
Next, management is responsible
for the preparation and press
has raised of the financial

04:45:54.147 --> 04:45:56.147
statements they are responsible

04:45:56.849 --> 04:45:58.849
for the design of internal

04:46:05.791 --> 04:46:08.126
control they need to assure that
the city operations are
conducting with the provisions

04:46:08.861 --> 04:46:10.861
of law and regulation actions at

04:46:16.635 --> 04:46:18.169
stipulated.
they say they take

04:46:19.938 --> 04:46:21.938
responsibility for all the noted

04:46:24.743 --> 04:46:26.475
here.
Moving on which is the oversight

04:46:42.893 --> 04:46:45.728
committee
also management and
the oversight committee are
responsible for setting the

04:46:51.335 --> 04:46:53.803
proper tone to maintain a
culture of honesty and standards
as a reminder on audit does not

04:46:53.904 --> 04:46:55.904
really management and the

04:46:57.239 --> 04:46:59.800
committee of that.
Moving on to the responsibility

04:47:04.247 --> 04:47:05.981
of the auditors we are
responsible for performing our

04:47:07.984 --> 04:47:09.684
audit using professional
standards to ensure that they

04:47:12.989 --> 04:47:14.689
are free of maternal mistake.
Conduct our audits with those

04:47:19.428 --> 04:47:21.428
standards issued and government

04:47:23.197 --> 04:47:24.899
audit team standards and a gap.
At the end of the yacht that

04:47:27.336 --> 04:47:29.700
were responsible to communicate
the information to the oversight

04:47:30.872 --> 04:47:32.872
committee and management.

04:47:33.874 --> 04:47:35.874
There is some supplemental

04:47:37.946 --> 04:47:40.180
information here's a
there is supplemental
information included in the

04:47:47.321 --> 04:47:49.755
financial statement we do not
 -- we apply some procedures to
that information that is bound

04:47:52.927 --> 04:47:54.661
in that report.
We have independent matters we

04:47:58.465 --> 04:48:00.465
have a responsibility to access

04:48:02.602 --> 04:48:04.303
the independence we wanted to
confirm that we are in fact

04:48:05.772 --> 04:48:07.772
independent and audit fees from

04:48:08.375 --> 04:48:10.375
previous audits have been paid

04:48:12.178 --> 04:48:14.178
and therefore none independence

04:48:15.480 --> 04:48:17.480
issue.

04:48:18.170 --> 04:48:20.170
Moving on to our scope.

04:48:21.887 --> 04:48:23.887
No as I mentioned we audit four

04:48:25.291 --> 04:48:26.990
of the departments over the four
departments we also conduct

04:48:34.632 --> 04:48:36.300
single audits there are several
agreed-upon procedures and

04:48:42.374 --> 04:48:44.842
reports a we also issue in
addition to that we also issue
an opinion on the statement of

04:48:46.578 --> 04:48:48.578
changes and then right now were

04:48:49.881 --> 04:48:51.881
talking about them to see her

04:48:52.949 --> 04:48:54.949
going to do an agreed procedure

04:48:56.253 --> 04:48:58.253
and on their bonds that we do

04:49:03.360 --> 04:49:05.461
with the other ones.
We audit
>> ten different components for

04:49:06.864 --> 04:49:08.864
the city which are on the slide.

04:49:09.432 --> 04:49:11.432
The rest of the presentation

04:49:14.971 --> 04:49:16.971
will be presented by lisa

04:49:17.807 --> 04:49:19.807
applies to the audit.

04:49:21.644 --> 04:49:23.644
>> we have to take several

04:49:25.810 --> 04:49:27.810
factors into consideration there

04:49:31.320 --> 04:49:33.220
no longer -- there several
qualitative and quantitative

04:49:34.723 --> 04:49:37.250
factors that we have to consider
as into what's important the
user of these financial

04:49:39.940 --> 04:49:41.428
statements.
As part of our procedures the
excess risk of certain

04:49:44.133 --> 04:49:45.832
statements line items so those
line items and involve a high

04:49:47.302 --> 04:49:49.302
degree of judgment tend to be

04:49:52.841 --> 04:49:54.507
riskier and higher risk of Miss
Understatement for example

04:49:57.612 --> 04:49:59.313
workers, and general liability
there reserved for claims and

04:50:01.147 --> 04:50:03.147
health services pensions at the

04:50:04.510 --> 04:50:06.510
citywide level.

04:50:07.488 --> 04:50:09.488
Both firms have specialist to

04:50:10.390 --> 04:50:12.390
help to work through the

04:50:16.563 --> 04:50:18.264
significant areas of the city.
On the next slide we have our

04:50:20.701 --> 04:50:22.467
audit plan and timeline and this
is just kind of high-level that

04:50:23.739 --> 04:50:25.739
shows what we do our work what

04:50:26.673 --> 04:50:28.673
we do during the audit

04:50:30.309 --> 04:50:31.977
conducting our procedures are
wrap up but the more detail

04:50:33.381 --> 04:50:35.381
timeline is on the next slide.

04:50:36.849 --> 04:50:38.483
We can talk our work and her
final full work starts in

04:50:39.919 --> 04:50:41.919
September and it ends around

04:50:43.388 --> 04:50:45.388
January as we are sure our final

04:50:46.358 --> 04:50:48.590
report.
We spoke about the different

04:50:52.731 --> 04:50:54.464
entities that we audit for our
department are targeted deadline

04:50:58.637 --> 04:51:01.710
for the financial statements for
the single audit report the goal
is to get those issues before

04:51:02.440 --> 04:51:04.141
January 31st.
>> and in terms of the other

04:51:18.722 --> 04:51:21.570
audits they also apply.
The main points actual
statements will be completed by

04:51:21.725 --> 04:51:23.725
thanksgiving and the single

04:51:25.996 --> 04:51:27.730
audit which is a federal
compliance would be completed by

04:51:30.567 --> 04:51:32.601
2018 January.
>> okay.
The next slide is just some

04:51:34.437 --> 04:51:36.437
consideration for the and

04:51:37.340 --> 04:51:39.340
accounting matters that could be

04:51:42.979 --> 04:51:45.480
considered by management and
essence of time I will not be to
them but you have them here to

04:51:46.649 --> 04:51:48.382
look at.
And then one final thought here

04:51:54.723 --> 04:51:56.824
on independence.
Just a reminder that any work
processing that we do for the

04:51:56.824 --> 04:51:58.894
department is considered a
non-audit service and we are

04:51:58.894 --> 04:52:00.894
independent that's just the

04:52:01.951 --> 04:52:03.951
final thought.

04:52:06.602 --> 04:52:08.335
Any questions?
We have no questions and thank

04:52:15.760 --> 04:52:16.677
you very much.
We have also call the

04:52:24.719 --> 04:52:26.719
controllers year-end report or

04:52:31.224 --> 04:52:33.224
was at all -- a tosha from the

04:52:40.200 --> 04:52:42.334
city services performance and I
don't know you have any openings
or remarks.

04:52:45.972 --> 04:52:47.972
>> thank you Madam Chair I think

04:52:48.940 --> 04:52:50.940
giving the late hour I will be

04:52:53.212 --> 04:52:55.212
very brief this is a very

04:52:56.781 --> 04:52:58.483
impressive array of data
collected by the controller's

04:53:07.192 --> 04:53:09.727
office and departments that is
worth everyone in san francisco
accessing and taking look at and

04:53:10.861 --> 04:53:12.196
with that I will turn over to
natasha.

04:53:13.632 --> 04:53:15.632
>> thank you.

04:53:18.770 --> 04:53:21.171
I natasha in the program manager
and the city services auditor
division of the comptroller's

04:53:24.409 --> 04:53:26.843
office.
They have a mandate to report on
performance measures for all

04:53:29.914 --> 04:53:32.649
city departments.
Thank you for calling this
hearing.
What they were trying to do is

04:53:34.285 --> 04:53:35.919
do more outreach on reporting so
were improving the tools

04:53:38.889 --> 04:53:40.557
accessible to the public we are
welcome to come anytime and

04:53:43.727 --> 04:53:45.460
answer any questions.
Just to give you a little bit of

04:53:47.764 --> 04:53:49.764
an over you.

04:53:52.536 --> 04:53:54.536
One is our annual report those

04:53:57.600 --> 04:53:59.600
are published twice a year we

04:54:03.212 --> 04:54:04.913
also watched last year the
website and on that we have a

04:54:10.353 --> 04:54:12.787
policy scorecards we have
livability from which is from
street cleaning, street safety

04:54:15.857 --> 04:54:17.592
and we have eight of those and
then the third product will be

04:54:25.167 --> 04:54:27.402
talking about today is the first
annual sitting benchmark report
that we did proceed he had taken

04:54:27.402 --> 04:54:30.380
one topic area and kind of dived
pretty deeply and here he wanted

04:54:30.380 --> 04:54:32.380
to take a look at policy areas

04:54:40.448 --> 04:54:42.583
across the city we issued a
report with seven areas and
measures a couple months ago so

04:54:42.583 --> 04:54:44.785
just to give you little bit of
an overview of what the
scorecard looks like.

04:54:44.785 --> 04:54:46.152
This is an image of what they
look like.

04:54:49.523 --> 04:54:51.991
They're organized by policy area
targets a set by departments we
also help facility the mayor's

04:54:53.920 --> 04:54:54.760
office of targets with the
departments as part of the

04:55:02.836 --> 04:55:05.771
budget and report on this on a
fiscal year basis.
If you are into any of these
measures will find out what it

04:55:06.206 --> 04:55:08.206
is what's important and what's

04:55:09.142 --> 04:55:10.876
impacting performance.
It's a good way to learn of what

04:55:12.478 --> 04:55:14.146
government is doing.
The slide which May look a

04:55:19.151 --> 04:55:21.151
little crazy -- yes, sir, about

04:55:23.889 --> 04:55:25.889
that.

04:55:26.691 --> 04:55:28.691
Each.

04:55:29.728 --> 04:55:31.728
Indicates a measure.

04:55:47.410 --> 04:55:50.470
>> hold on just a second.
Can you hold up to the camera?

04:55:50.470 --> 04:55:51.413
>> I can talk briefly before
comes up.

04:55:55.352 --> 04:55:57.787
Under each of the scorecards we
have a writer measures anywhere
from 8 to 13 with different

04:55:58.455 --> 04:56:00.455
measures and we have an

04:56:04.862 --> 04:56:06.862
indicator color which is like a

04:56:08.310 --> 04:56:10.310
stoplight we have green that are

04:56:10.901 --> 04:56:12.901
meeting the target yellow where

04:56:15.472 --> 04:56:17.940
they need improvement to the
target rat is not meeting target
and white is where there is no

04:56:19.108 --> 04:56:21.760
target and those are the things
that were counting like
graffiti.

04:56:21.944 --> 04:56:23.944
You can see here that the

04:56:25.581 --> 04:56:27.581
performance varies across a

04:56:35.570 --> 04:56:36.758
different policy area
>> do you want to tell us why

04:56:41.797 --> 04:56:43.797
the economy scorecard is blank?

04:56:44.833 --> 04:56:46.500
>> it is based on the economic
product that we've had for

04:56:47.869 --> 04:56:49.869
several years we don't set

04:56:51.573 --> 04:56:53.573
targets for things like

04:56:55.800 --> 04:56:57.800
employment market rate, rent or

04:56:58.645 --> 04:57:00.947
anything that's on there.
Because we can really control
control those things

04:57:03.484 --> 04:57:05.151
>> that's part of it I think we
would be making some policy

04:57:08.870 --> 04:57:10.870
calls on that.

04:57:11.225 --> 04:57:13.225
And then relative to the

04:57:14.828 --> 04:57:16.828
category of things that we heard

04:57:17.799 --> 04:57:19.799
from the last three hours, as it

04:57:23.368 --> 04:57:25.368
relates to workforce development

04:57:27.107 --> 04:57:29.107
and job placement were with that

04:57:30.760 --> 04:57:32.760
fall?

04:57:33.346 --> 04:57:35.346
>> I did take a look in your

04:57:36.315 --> 04:57:38.315
measures and we do have one

04:57:40.753 --> 04:57:42.486
measure that the group of
placements from adults of been

04:57:44.423 --> 04:57:46.758
in job training program I will
have to follow up with the
programs on where they fall

04:57:47.292 --> 04:57:49.292
within that measure.

04:57:51.563 --> 04:57:53.998
One of the things that we have
going on that's working with
individual departments to revise

04:57:56.668 --> 04:57:58.668
a performance measure that's one

04:58:05.176 --> 04:58:06.877
area where we can dig in.
Not a give you little bit of

04:58:08.212 --> 04:58:10.212
overview of our benchmarking we

04:58:16.285 --> 04:58:18.210
modeled it over the scorecard
the graphic that you can see on

04:58:21.225 --> 04:58:22.959
the slide is just one of the
cover page highlights that we

04:58:24.561 --> 04:58:26.295
have for comparing ourselves to
the peer average and say are we

04:58:29.666 --> 04:58:31.365
higher or lower sometimes it's
better ever higher sometimes

04:58:34.200 --> 04:58:36.371
it's better it were lower but
there is a wealth of information
if you want to see her

04:58:37.340 --> 04:58:39.340
scorecards the web address is

04:58:42.178 --> 04:58:44.546
there.
Then I thought it would be
interesting to dig into feud

04:58:46.480 --> 04:58:47.816
individual measures that is
where the fun part comes out the

04:58:52.856 --> 04:58:55.121
first want to talk about is the
volume of requests.
Requests for potholes come from

04:59:09.237 --> 04:59:11.638
citizen request through 311 year
to date there meeting that
target and you can see in recent

04:59:13.775 --> 04:59:15.775
months there was a huge influx

04:59:19.814 --> 04:59:22.281
of requests that really have to
do with the rain from December
to March the requests are really

04:59:24.251 --> 04:59:25.885
high.
What public works debt to

04:59:27.154 --> 04:59:29.154
increase the number of pothole

04:59:30.559 --> 04:59:32.559
patching crews which normally

04:59:34.227 --> 04:59:36.227
they have to.

04:59:44.700 --> 04:59:46.700
During the season they had five.

04:59:49.709 --> 04:59:51.442
>> I note that this is pretty
close to real time and it goes

04:59:53.450 --> 04:59:54.513
to the end of February?
I end of March.

04:59:58.551 --> 05:00:00.251
>> okay.
As compared to the scorecard

05:00:05.591 --> 05:00:07.892
results which are for the.
ended June 30 16
, '16 is that
right?

05:00:11.329 --> 05:00:13.329
>> 17.

05:00:14.933 --> 05:00:17.368
On the scorecard we have results
that are for this fiscal year so
be July through in this case

05:00:22.373 --> 05:00:25.800
March.
But that per the slide had 15,
16?
True but that was a very

05:00:27.111 --> 05:00:28.877
high-level view of for the
scorecard measure landed in our

05:00:37.421 --> 05:00:39.922
yearly report.
On the slides of included last
fiscal year as well as anything

05:00:41.859 --> 05:00:43.593
we have up till now.
Generally were updating the same

05:00:45.929 --> 05:00:47.929
monthly but we try to have

05:01:00.475 --> 05:01:02.177
real-time information this next
>> how many people visit your

05:01:04.479 --> 05:01:06.479
website for this part of your

05:01:10.152 --> 05:01:12.152
website?

05:01:13.489 --> 05:01:15.256
>> I cannot remember offhand.
It has been growing and we have

05:01:17.558 --> 05:01:19.293
a lot of unique visitors which
is exciting and I'm gonna give

05:01:20.794 --> 05:01:22.794
the wrong number but I can

05:01:23.698 --> 05:01:25.698
follow up on that one.

05:01:27.834 --> 05:01:29.470
The score is a program that is a
partnership between the

05:01:31.107 --> 05:01:33.107
comptroller's office and the

05:01:34.175 --> 05:01:35.942
recreational parks department we
develop standards to measure the

05:01:37.979 --> 05:01:39.979
appearance at city park so our

05:01:41.816 --> 05:01:43.515
staff go out once a quarter to
evaluate the park what you're

05:01:44.919 --> 05:01:46.919
seeing here is we have honor

05:01:48.754 --> 05:01:50.754
scorecard you control down and

05:01:52.893 --> 05:01:55.610
look at your individual parks
you can look at items parks by
district the results and it's a

05:01:55.610 --> 05:01:56.429
great resource that we update
quarterly.

05:01:59.332 --> 05:02:01.332
>> is this controller staff or

05:02:03.403 --> 05:02:05.836
self purported analysis
>> it's a combination of both.
We manage the data and we do

05:02:09.575 --> 05:02:11.977
validation work and we have over
the years look at what the
difference might be between eval

05:02:12.745 --> 05:02:14.745
and there's as well as

05:02:15.781 --> 05:02:17.416
comptroller's office and over
the years we have really

05:02:18.950 --> 05:02:20.950
narrowed it down so there's no

05:02:22.321 --> 05:02:24.321
difference between our staff and

05:02:25.424 --> 05:02:27.580
their staff.
There is a little bit of

05:02:30.128 --> 05:02:32.530
interpretation error but the
recreation park apartments
really uses these results as one

05:02:43.508 --> 05:02:45.676
of their corner stores we have
911 call volume in response
there's a national standard that

05:02:45.676 --> 05:02:47.677
all calls should be answered
within ten seconds.

05:02:50.248 --> 05:02:52.248
You can see the blue line.

05:02:53.950 --> 05:02:55.950
Currently there is an initiative

05:02:57.488 --> 05:02:59.488
going on -- going on the mayor

05:03:00.424 --> 05:03:02.424
created a working area to

05:03:08.600 --> 05:03:09.630
improve and speed up the hiring
and retention and training of
new operators and the goal is to

05:03:14.237 --> 05:03:16.400
have the response rate of 290%.
>> I'll believe that when I see

05:03:25.648 --> 05:03:27.382
that.
Moving on to vision 0 which is

05:03:34.523 --> 05:03:36.257
the city's policy here were
actually showing the results by

05:03:39.226 --> 05:03:41.962
condor year by fiscal year
because we want to be consistent
with the recording that's going
on.

05:03:42.998 --> 05:03:44.565
This year so far there have been
four fatalities three

05:03:50.470 --> 05:03:52.470
pedestrians yes three by walking

05:03:53.707 --> 05:03:55.442
and one by driving.
This is a lower pace until the

05:04:00.281 --> 05:04:02.281
last three years this is a

05:04:03.784 --> 05:04:05.784
citywide approach there many

05:04:07.421 --> 05:04:09.121
agencies are working on this
some examples are the police

05:04:13.460 --> 05:04:15.161
apartment where they want 50% of
their citations to be around

05:04:17.497 --> 05:04:19.497
those driving behaviors that

05:04:26.739 --> 05:04:28.473
impact fatalities the most they
can see which improvements they

05:04:30.443 --> 05:04:32.443
made as well as address new

05:04:34.814 --> 05:04:36.814
areas.

05:04:39.183 --> 05:04:40.885
Transit trips.
we tend to talk about on-time

05:04:41.286 --> 05:04:43.286
performance for the transit

05:04:47.825 --> 05:04:49.560
system let me just give you a
little example if your buses six

05:04:53.798 --> 05:04:56.200
minute late every single time it
has a 0% on-time performance
rape at a passenger it feels

05:04:59.903 --> 05:05:02.390
fine because it's coming every
six minutes.
What this measure is looking at

05:05:08.779 --> 05:05:10.881
the rat is a gap between buzzes
and the pink is a bunching.
When you're sitting there and

05:05:10.881 --> 05:05:12.615
three buses come in a row and
there's 20 minutes and another

05:05:15.486 --> 05:05:17.185
bus comes this is what we think
is one of the key metrics to

05:05:18.121 --> 05:05:20.990
reliability and regular service.
The moving forward program is

05:05:24.995 --> 05:05:26.729
one of the areas where they're
using to address some of these

05:05:43.212 --> 05:05:45.212
service issues

05:05:53.155 --> 05:05:55.155
this year were

05:05:57.559 --> 05:05:59.293
gonna be a little bit lower on
the compared target on some of

05:05:59.660 --> 05:06:01.660
the permanent supportive housing

05:06:02.597 --> 05:06:04.597
through the low threshold

05:06:05.533 --> 05:06:07.167
program.
Part of the issue is that

05:06:07.936 --> 05:06:09.936
empires over several new hundred

05:06:21.916 --> 05:06:23.916
center new units placed just to

05:06:24.618 --> 05:06:26.618
give you some highlights.

05:06:33.459 --> 05:06:35.528
The condition index is national
standard would gives an overall
rating of all of san francisco's

05:06:35.528 --> 05:06:37.528
almost 13,000 blocks.

05:06:39.159 --> 05:06:41.159
Currently in 2016 our score is

05:06:42.936 --> 05:06:45.270
69.
You can see the benchmark
comparison that were done for

05:06:48.608 --> 05:06:51.900
2015.
The prior were 68 but compared
to the city as we got this

05:06:54.680 --> 05:06:56.414
information.
>> he sure wouldn't know it by

05:07:03.689 --> 05:07:05.256
driving around.
But we can see direct

05:07:07.658 --> 05:07:09.658
improvement whether two general

05:07:09.794 --> 05:07:11.794
fund funding on the 2011 street

05:07:21.105 --> 05:07:23.874
repaving bonds.
an example how cities can
develop targets.
This life-support is about

05:07:27.345 --> 05:07:29.813
life-threatening emergencies and
we have set our target that we
want to respond within seven
minutes.

05:07:29.813 --> 05:07:32.282
We are the graybar towards a
great site.

05:07:37.219 --> 05:07:39.219
We have a much lower target when

05:07:44.629 --> 05:07:47.940
you set the target you want have
other factors when there was a
working group back in 2015 on

05:07:47.597 --> 05:07:49.331
these areas for this measure
needed for but for this one they

05:07:52.100 --> 05:07:53.734
set seven minutes and we are
exceeding the threshold of the

05:08:03.813 --> 05:08:06.114
90% national standard is another
interesting one air quality
index this is the epa's

05:08:11.386 --> 05:08:13.386
measurements we only have good

05:08:17.425 --> 05:08:19.892
and moderate days if you
continue down the list you can
see other cities where it isn't

05:08:24.320 --> 05:08:26.466
as great and you know
air-quality can have an impact
on how it is not to see that

05:08:28.469 --> 05:08:30.135
were higher than most others.
Finally we had a section on

05:08:32.139 --> 05:08:33.874
demographics I just wanted to
pull out one of these with this

05:08:34.374 --> 05:08:36.374
is showing you in the bar and

05:08:37.111 --> 05:08:39.111
the columns is that what is the

05:08:41.115 --> 05:08:43.115
average household if an

05:08:46.787 --> 05:08:49.121
individual but your household.
Their circles represent what
your housing cost is as a

05:09:00.330 --> 05:09:02.330
percentage of income.

05:09:06.571 --> 05:09:08.972
There is a variety of reasons we
generally have an older
population have people with low

05:09:08.973 --> 05:09:10.973
mortgages rent control will help

05:09:11.210 --> 05:09:12.911
in this town a little bit
because that is a much lower

05:09:21.954 --> 05:09:24.355
rate of those are some of the
measures I want to pull out
today I don't know you have any

05:09:25.724 --> 05:09:27.490
additional questions.
>> I do not but I do want to say

05:09:28.126 --> 05:09:30.126
that I went through the

05:09:30.962 --> 05:09:32.962
three-part report and it's

05:09:33.130 --> 05:09:35.130
actually really interesting.

05:09:40.338 --> 05:09:42.639
I think most people in san
francisco would be pleased and
compared together 15

05:09:42.673 --> 05:09:44.673
jurisdictions.

05:09:51.749 --> 05:09:53.383
In makes you feel pretty good
george miller and you are

05:09:56.353 --> 05:09:58.621
watching, you should get online
and read the reports.
You'll fill better about san

05:09:58.989 --> 05:10:00.356
francisco.
Thank you.

05:10:10.466 --> 05:10:12.466
>> thank you so much.

05:10:14.404 --> 05:10:16.404
We are meeting our range whether

05:10:21.577 --> 05:10:23.577
it's maintenance potholes.

05:10:30.285 --> 05:10:32.285
It is really good to see this.

05:10:33.855 --> 05:10:35.855
We're moving at a slower and all

05:10:47.101 --> 05:10:49.101
three can I see no further

05:11:04.351 --> 05:11:06.786
comments.
>> a lot of good metric I was
also surprised to see how well

05:11:07.887 --> 05:11:09.887
were doing on statements

05:11:13.693 --> 05:11:15.829
prepared it does not appear that
way on to the average driver
walker and cyclist what is good

05:11:15.829 --> 05:11:17.829
to hear that were hitting our

05:11:19.332 --> 05:11:20.866
marks on this time I'll open up
for public comment.

05:11:27.205 --> 05:11:28.974
On items 4 and 5.
I'm so sorry been would like to

05:11:31.779 --> 05:11:33.511
speak?
At this time will open up for

05:11:35.347 --> 05:11:38.116
public comment.
Public comment is now closed

05:11:42.286 --> 05:11:44.286
>> I did want to say that it

05:11:48.360 --> 05:11:50.395
does seem like this last fiscal
year we had more material
weaknesses that we did in the

05:11:50.395 --> 05:11:52.395
previous year granted the

05:11:53.310 --> 05:11:55.310
previous year we had some

05:11:56.366 --> 05:11:58.101
significant deficiencies but no
material weaknesses they're not

05:11:58.903 --> 05:12:00.903
in the same department but I

05:12:02.106 --> 05:12:04.106
just want to note for the record

05:12:05.409 --> 05:12:07.409
we see material weaknesses.

05:12:07.811 --> 05:12:09.811
>> thank you.

05:12:11.115 --> 05:12:12.749
It is also good to hear what the
auditors have found the

05:12:13.450 --> 05:12:16.185
department are working to
rectify.

05:12:19.220 --> 05:12:21.220
We'll looks to be one-time

05:12:24.294 --> 05:12:25.928
mistakes that they are still
working on improving that.

05:12:28.998 --> 05:12:30.732
I think in particular were very
lax of who axes our technology

05:12:35.138 --> 05:12:36.504
system as administrators with
passwords.

05:12:45.848 --> 05:12:47.848
It be good to tighten that.

05:12:54.890 --> 05:12:57.124
>> thank you.
We do have department
individuals if you have specific
questions.

05:12:57.124 --> 05:12:59.124
>> thank you so much.

05:13:02.300 --> 05:13:03.763
We do not have any questions
thank you for sitting through

05:13:06.634 --> 05:13:09.690
this very lengthy committee.
>> I will say the one that
actually was a one that was most

05:13:13.307 --> 05:13:14.607
troubling was -- I know that
capt.

05:13:17.778 --> 05:13:19.778
Rivera had to go and I've done

05:13:20.514 --> 05:13:22.215
my research on it and I'm
satisfied that it will never

05:13:23.820 --> 05:13:25.820
happen again but that one was

05:13:26.153 --> 05:13:28.153
actually troubling that you have

05:13:30.824 --> 05:13:32.224
not of happen.
>> present.

05:13:33.493 --> 05:13:35.493
I also sorry to interrupt also

05:13:36.620 --> 05:13:38.597
want to add one of the things
that were looking at at this

05:13:40.330 --> 05:13:42.330
particular committee in

05:13:42.368 --> 05:13:44.368
reviewing these audits and also

05:13:46.205 --> 05:13:48.205
reviewing lawsuits the specific

05:13:48.407 --> 05:13:50.407
departments is a possibility of

05:13:52.845 --> 05:13:54.579
taking lawsuits the settlements
another things out of department

05:13:57.249 --> 05:13:58.950
budgets in order to use that as
a tool to get departments to

05:14:00.518 --> 05:14:02.518
comply and do things a lot

05:14:05.390 --> 05:14:07.757
better it seems as though sadly
one lawsuits are broader
settlements are brought to this

05:14:14.197 --> 05:14:16.667
body we see a pattern and we see
things that can be avoided for
the future I would like us have

05:14:18.435 --> 05:14:20.170
more of a discussion that can be
a helpful solution and getting

05:14:20.972 --> 05:14:22.972
departments to move more swiftly

05:14:24.800 --> 05:14:26.800
in the right direction of try to

05:14:41.658 --> 05:14:43.926
put the right safeguards
I think

05:14:49.499 --> 05:14:51.900
that some hr related issues in
terms of management and some
decisions and to been made or

05:14:52.535 --> 05:14:55.504
lack thereof in terms of getting
the proper training or the

05:14:59.708 --> 05:15:01.442
proper oversight or response to
staff members and other things

05:15:04.446 --> 05:15:06.800
are something that plays a role
or should play a role and

05:15:08.150 --> 05:15:10.150
auditing and overseeing the

05:15:11.190 --> 05:15:13.190
kinds of issues and possibly

05:15:14.550 --> 05:15:15.789
making decisions that will help
our departments complies so that

05:15:16.691 --> 05:15:18.691
we are not spending more money

05:15:21.429 --> 05:15:23.463
than we showed unsettling those
cases.
I just wanted to bring that up

05:15:24.866 --> 05:15:26.299
as a side note.
>> thank you.

05:15:29.503 --> 05:15:31.271
I see no further comments May we
take a motion to file item 4 and

05:15:32.973 --> 05:15:34.574
5?
We can do that without

05:15:38.479 --> 05:15:40.780
objection.

forming this.

05:18:35.180 --> 05:18:37.582
>> thank you.
Just have a few brief remarks
for the last five years of at

05:18:37.716 --> 05:18:39.716

05:18:41.119 --> 05:18:43.119
supporting the the japan town

05:18:45.422 --> 05:18:47.157
through the initiative.
It obviously is one of three in

05:18:50.161 --> 05:18:51.895
the nation this committee
benefit district is one of the

05:18:53.663 --> 05:18:55.663
recommended strategies of a plan

05:19:00.971 --> 05:19:03.439
that was published in 2013 I
want to quickly acknowledge the

05:19:06.542 --> 05:19:08.542
dedicated work of the test fork

05:19:11.548 --> 05:19:13.282
and a steering committee they
worked tirelessly to implement

05:19:13.817 --> 05:19:16.218
the committee's vision and a
strategy.

05:19:21.570 --> 05:19:22.823
And make sure that the date from
2013 was just on a plan that sat

05:19:25.861 --> 05:19:27.861
on the shelves but accomplish

05:19:29.365 --> 05:19:31.990
some pretty big milestones.
Just quickly I'm gonna recognize

05:19:33.902 --> 05:19:35.902
chris for guiding them in this

05:19:50.752 --> 05:19:52.253

I've been going through these

05:20:33.226 --> 05:20:35.659
meetings regarding the committee
benefit districts and has been
very helpful in informing us

05:20:37.300 --> 05:20:38.764
about the different ways that we
can improve japan town and the

05:20:39.565 --> 05:20:41.565
community.

05:20:42.768 --> 05:20:44.768
I live want to have a block away

05:20:47.106 --> 05:20:48.773

Although I not within the

and the residents everybody has
two things at the very concerned

05:21:22.973 --> 05:21:24.973
support to people coming in the

05:21:27.644 --> 05:21:29.644
businesses work very hard to

05:21:31.380 --> 05:21:33.380
attract and to come in and serve

05:21:38.121 --> 05:21:39.822
the community the second thing
is willingness to be able to

05:21:40.490 --> 05:21:42.490
provide cleanliness for security

05:21:50.399 --> 05:21:52.601
i wanted to thank you for having
