the item but first a little bit of background on the legislation i've been serving on the board for about a year and a half my honor to be chair of this committee. being chair of the rules committee is a front row seat how they function and you struggle we as a board can set them up for success i've talked with supervisor peskin a supporter the psychological and psychiatry between serving on small both sides and including the behavorial health commission that is large containing more seats to the board of supervisors and we were a small body my colleagues and i know how important it is to can be an

impasse if two members disagree. one person self show up we don't have a meeting miss the quorum and a absent has a less of an impact this is really one of the issues we're tackling with that sternum to meet the quorum so the changes will help to set this body up for success by roving the district areas appointments since the work of this body is citywide concern. and removing the district specific residents requirements for each seat makes it easier to recruit. my colleagues appoint excellent individuals to those commissions i hope every office will have interested candidates we work closely with the community to make sure this new

composition it compliant are the state requirement for the behavorial health oversight both sides and that nobody will lose their seat and appreciative the medical associate and i trust we have the person here to make brief remarks. >> thank you supervisor dorsey and supervisor safai. >> a special thanks to supervisor dorsey for sponsoring this legislation and working and my chance to speak i'm jessica brown the mvnl service act person and here on behalf of mary lasts behavorial health and the behavorial health commission who is out on vacation today.

i'm here to express sf support for the direction behind many legislation and castle welfare and institution code 5804 for all california county will have a behavorial health commission. the primary purpose of the county behavorial health commission serving in an advisory capacity with the local becoming initiative and in addition the behavorial health commission is also subject to a local san francisco ordinance. there have been recent changes to the california welfare institution code 5604 regarding the composition of the behavorial health health the current requirements for the county behavorial health commission are 50 percent of the board membership shall be a family member or consumers who

are receiving or have received market street services 20 percent shall be consumers and at least 20 percent family members and in one hundred thousand population one member of the board shall be a veteran or veteran advocate. counties are appointing individuals with experience with mental health and the proposed legislation will bring governing behavorial health commission in alignment with the updating of state law. in addition the behavorial health commission of san jose county xheemsz of 17 individuals difficult to meet the quorum in the last month and the proposed legislation from you 17 to 12 to meet quorum and making sure that all current commissioners will keep their seat and sfgov

supports this we hope you recommend to the full board i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> thank you so much jessica brown my apologies to missing middle this. and quite a few amendments this evening and i have on our desk this morning for the record add an additional seat must meet the requirements for 3er7z with experience in the mental health system and reducing the number with experience of the mental health system to two and requiring that too of the seats be persons from professions from shall be from the following prospects psychology and psychiatry and mental health social work and nursing and marriage and family

counseling and board administration of a hospital providing mental health services for the community mental health facility and all the seats to june of 2024 and members have substantive to continue one anymore time. colleagues any comments and questions? >> seeing none, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> mr. clerk open up for public comment. >> yes. members of the public who wish to speak line up at this time. each member will be allowed each person is allowed two minutes a soft chime and a louder chime when our time is about to expire. >> hi, my name is leah, i live in the district. um, as following this particular item i don't know this has been addressed i have not been

keeping or what have you i'm curious about the child advocates for the seats. to me that's a red flag i don't know the logic of or reasoning and if we can pubically discuss that i prefer it very much. being we've been through and going through covid pandemic. children have been seriously psychologically impacted in my opinion that means we should keep advocates for children for mental health issues. um, and as well as the rising homelessness own is revise that means more children are homeless and can't go to school, etc. and another reason i'm concerned about the seat requirements for the child advocates especially, when you're adding different seats for veterans. it is just really

the child advocate seat removal maybe been revolved in an amendment but for children who are very, very vulnerable you know, they're already (laughter) going through a lot of issues like protection repealed in children's rights (bell ringing) again i don't understand you'll take away an advocate for children. um, so again, if you work pubically discuss that or amend this to explain that i don't know, you, e-mail me if you want to that is what i'm curious about. thank you. >> you know, shall i again.

>> thank you mr. clerk. >> members of the board in the size of behavorial health commission is reduced as planned it will very badly damage the adversey those are required to be including in the commission by state and local law. currently the commission is all either black or white hispanic. and there is large proportion of the population that is asian has currently no representation among active members so if you refuse the size of the commission and make the current members 9 of the 11 you'll have to kickoff two active members in order to do that and not going to have members for a long time i know in asian applicants

before you but the better path forward to make an appointment to the commission rather than reducing it with two appointments that committee makes you understand have an equal impact on quorum agency shared with reducing the size of the commission. i think the it better pathway forward this is a big county and find additional tasks without assigning people to do them (bell ringing) we need people to do the task we need to get back to you mr. clerk. >> thank you. >> any other speakers own this matter? >> mr. chair. >> public comment is closed on item two is closed and a motion to amend this. >> i do have a question. i said

this is our legislation what is reason behind roman listens 14 through 16 a member of the commission shall be a child advocate for members for adult services. actually 14 and 15. >> on the legislation. >> i'm sorry page 2. >> wait um, yeah - page two. >> the part of having a child advocate. >> (clearing throat) and i see you put language in there any one of the members may satisfactory their reminders of subsection i think so you're adding a veteran that makes sense. the issue in working- >> (multiple voices). >> the department is here. >> (multiple voices). >> you can answer if you want to. >> i want to add in we currently will have a child

advocate on the committee jackson lane is one and also with the legislation with the language so i'm not sure continuation anyone with a mental health experience or knowledge a family member or someone that's why we are trying to streamline the language a little bit more but will include someone that has experience with mental health we currently have a member with a child advocate on the committee already. >> i see through the chair i see on page two at the top lines 4 through 7 it says as required by california welfare institutions codes section 4. and 6 members of the commission should be consumers or parents of the siblings and three members being family in family

of consumers. i understand that is captured in there but i was curious what the reason is behind taking out the language that says child advocate. >> (laughter.) >> in general terms. when we have a larger committee that is struggling with with to meet quorum i think looking at some of the things that not just the numbers but also areas where you know, overly proscriptive is hamstringing to recruit people as in this case we have a child advocate who is on the committee. so i think what this is- >> (multiple voices). >> no, no, i understand i appreciate one of the things we skrulgd with (clearing throat) did our oversight body here with

the department of supportive housing had general language. but the thinking was from my perspective insure to have someone direct for the youth often an afterthought i'm glad an advocate own this body but any things to leave the language that will continue to be prioritized? you understand we had a problem - we in quorum but i do have concerns about it this person were not appointed it would be difficult - someone can answer that but in the past filling (clearing throat) meeting the language have a child advocate or a family

member. >> good morning supervisor safai government affairs manager at dph and are working with folks to bring in alignment with the state law because of the requirements for 50 percent of membership to be either consumers or family members. we add one more seat we'll have to add another seat for advocates. >> no, no, i want to say if we had would it be difficult to leave that language in in that you could leave that language in and still have. >> we could but have to balance that with the state requirement. and that's why the legislation is as it is in front of you today. so that is - would be um, thinking behind that we discussed will be continued because those amendments are

substantive by that's the reasoning behind that as we stated early we have a current commissioner. you don't know i don't believe it is hard to recruit. to this but wanted to state the reasoning behind that. >> why not through the chair or the city attorney a way to put language in that honored the state welfare code and not add an additional seat maybe you thought about that. >> i do think ultimately this is a policy choice. the state code requires pointing out 50 percent of the code is family members a body of 6 and further an advocate or veteran and most of consumers and their family members need to have 20 percent it is proscribed whether there are some seats on the body have

anymore open edited qualifications could be limited to the one qualification perhaps this is is standing we can figure out between now and next time. >> would that is a substantive amendment? >> um. >> hard to tell. >> probably not. >> okay. great. why not talk about that i wanted to make the point that i think it is for that to think about the amount of mental health stress people have been put under and having a family member i see i maybe keep that there. >> thank you. >> thank you, supervisor safai. >> if we entertain a motion it will be substantive. >> city attorney thank you. i

i don't think that it would it is one of the seats we're restoring that no promises. >> i'd like to oh, supervisor walton. >> thank you supervisor dorsey i wanted to coincide any comments and my feelings to leave the language with supervisor safai. >> thank you supervisor walton. >> i'd like to make a motion to amend the file agency read into the record earlier and continue the item to the january 8th meeting of rules committee. >> mr. clerk a roll call. >> oh, yes on the motion to amend and continue to january 8, '24 supervisor walton, aye. >> supervisor safai, aye. >> domineered, aye. >> meetings without objection.

>> is amended and continued to january 8th (gavel). >> mr. clerk please call the next item. >> 3.

(city administrator) thank you, mr. chair we're joined by sophia from the administrations office and from the department of resources the city administrator has requested a continuation the floor is yours. >> . thank you very much. supervisor dorsey and supervisors i'm sophie from the office of city administrator as amended i want to summarize for

the record there are 4 basic changes that we escalated in the amendments and legislation by the way, it is essentially a list of things that are required to file before form 700 their hard to read but under animal control on page three operations manager. and on page 4 under contract monitoring division we added a deputy director position. under real estate on page 10 added the transaction manager and for tids we add the analyst and project manager and my understanding that is those are substantive amendment need to be heard at a later date and in addition dhr is giving them an opportunity to chime in and

business in a lifetime or the best. >> we created the oasis out of a need basically so other people bars and turning them into a space and when the last place we were performing wasn't used turned those buildings into condos so we decided to have a space. >> what the pandemic did for us is made us on of that we felt we had to do this immediately and created this. >> (unintelligible). >> where we would offer food

delivery services with a curbside professionalism live music to bring spectacular to lives we are going through and as well as employ on the caterers and the performers and drivers very for that i think also for everyone to do something. we had ordinary on the roof and life performances and with a restaurant to support the system where we are and even with that had terribly initiative and hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt had to pay our rent we decided to have an old-fashioned one we created club hours where you can watch to online and or be on the

phone and raised over one quarter of a million dollar that of incredible and something that northbound thought we could do. >> we got ourselves back and made me realize how for that people will show up if i was blown away but also had the courage but the commitment now i can't let anyone down i have to make the space serviceable so while this is a full process business it became much more about a space that was used by the community. and it became less about starting up a business and more about the heart of what we're doing. this building used to be a- and one

shorter and narrower than our older fire engines. they have cool things like recessed lights. roll up doors. 360 degree cam ares and more that is important as the city is moving toward slower and safer streets adding parklets and bulb outs and bike lanes we need to decrease our footprint to keep us and the community safer on emergency scenes. >> what's back there? >> when is not guilty fire engine. great question. i want to see, sure. >> let's go back and look at the equipment and the fire pump on the fire engine. >> this is a fire pump. it is cool all the colors and all that. this fire pump and this engine holds 500 gallons of water that is a lot. >> a lot of water. >> it is push out 1500 gallons a minute of water.

we can lose our 500 gammons quickly. why we use hoses like this to connect to a fire hydrant and that gives us unlimited amount of water to help put a fire out temperature is important we have enough fire engine in san francisco to put fires out. so we can reduce the injuries and minimize loss of life and minimize property damage.
