jorgensen and jenny. i think these are working.ank you. that working better? you can hear me? great.r's office on inviting us here. we are pleased to share a how we integrate access and functional needs into our emergency planning efforts. we will general overview of what it means to planning and training and new emergency operation's plan.ted about so she'll talk about that a bit. first, to-- really briefly of the efforts that we are doing in we have the responsibility of watching over training, our exercising drills, our credentialing efforts and then of course, our plans.kinds of plans that are efforts done across the city. this is specific to plans, so just to keep that in mind. training does provide knowledge

skills and abilities us to understand and perform tasks as we our capabilities. our exercises and s, and it also helps to validate the plans, so we know we've-- >> sorry. >> there we go. a way that people understand them and s we documented. we do have a credentialing prtrain our people to be respond to our emergency operations center and m the tasks at hand, and the plans document, how we will , and the concept of operations. to jenny to talk about emergency planning. >> next in the city. we will talk today specifically our emergency operations plan or eop, the core base plan for emergency management as coordinated by depaergency

management in partnership with all our citypartners across the whole community. attachealso have some 18 emergency support also speak to a bit. for the eop in particular, so we did want to lay the groundwork is. it is our core base plan that speaks to responds to any type of incident or event thata no notice incident, anything from what you flooding to earthquakes to type of pre-planned events like the pride parade events coming up or any wide event. that eop described veryo was involved in the city and the use to coordinate activities and actions across our city whole community partners. this is very broad. it isn't detailed exactly how something will happen, but it the actions that different city departments to include a big piece of it, we'll talk about this as well, but a large speaking how we city emergency operation

center, eoc, which is our central coordinfor multi-agency response operations in the city. and we there is any sort of incident or event ayxcwide impacts so we'll speak to that a bit later in the presentation, but pin a nutshell, that is eop describes is how we might respond to any sort of incident and then, as i mentioned, we have these esf the base described discipline specific concept of operation.eop broadly describes the who, of response operations, these go into more about different disciplines. we'll go through a couple of them as wellin a bit that really detail about different aspects of response operations. >> great. through these three slides rather quickly. to capture all this in because the emergency operation base plan is ed about authority and other things that are important to

all of our there's so much information in a city our size that we aking it out into other emergency support fuguide that fema gives us, which agency. esf1 is around transportation, esf2 is communication, esf3 is publ works and engineering is fire fighting. to continuf8, which is our public health and medical annex.rescue is esf9.that esf8 and should have said esf5 are the next plans we will be working carefully on, because a lot of these plans have been languishing a bit because of response to so we are trying all the plans refreshed. we learned a lot from our esf10 is oil spells. 11animal response, 12, water and utilities and 13, law a lot i should mention, many of these annexes, we write our partners who are the subject matter exserts

so we do this in a vacuum and that is partly what talk about today is how we incorporate other agencies and particularly to continue on, esf--did esf14 is recovery annex. which is really important plan becaaging to everyone is critical so that is community ge understands what the city is doing. esf16, community 17 is volunteer donation management and 18 is cyber-unified command are unique to sactions in the country and in the state that do this a differently and have added other annexes to their eop, but e have been very important to add. i think i will pass over to jenny. we want to talk about how we involve >> thanks andrea. so, to-as we talked about the emergency plans, mentioned we involve partners. a joint collaborative effort to

update plans, to also train anexercise on plans. when it to involving our part ners to access and functional need partners we do this in a couple different ways. partners specific to the development of nt update to the emergency operations plan. dem are advisory groups to provide targeted input.up disability access and functional needs advisory committee thank you debbie and alicia for being on that and bring other partners into the group as well. we stood a community advisory group that brought some representatives from dibased organizations together as well. so, those two groups, the last couple of to look at the draft eop provide and just collaborate on what went in there to insure we really prioritizing responding to the needs of our most vulnerable populations in a emergency.

as a city thad would beour first priority because we understand great majority people can sort of--would to a incident and be able to sort of with the resources on hand and we want to make suare prioritizing any communities or indiface additional challenges in response in recovery. the two advisory committees to insure our plans are inclusivedifferent diverse community needs. california state requirements with that as well. the next way we engaged community partners is through city wide efforts,whole community also means all our different city departments that come together ina emergency. the city has a disaster preparedness coordinator program that identify individuals departments to regularly meet and engage we also have other city work groups that tarand focus on

specific emergency issues to include evacuation that we are working and lastly we wanted to touch on how we gency operations center, eoc.activate our eoc when there is a city wide impact. either events, the severe weather events like jor-like the winter stoms we had in the last or extreme heat days. we also activate for the large pre-planned event like we activate for apec last year. that was as a city. th structure, we do include a really critical positions. one equity officer eoc management section as well as a disability access functional needs advisor. those two positions sit in that management insure those issues and considered across all the kinds of in the eoc.

we also have stood up community branch within our eoc. the intention of branch is to have a team really focuses establishing two way communication when there is a emergency. one was community support annex and that is very unique to san francisco, city is really proud of, it prioritizes and pushing to for front that communication and engage ment with our community members. >> grailt. lastly i want to talk about improvement things we discovered and while jenny was community partners there are things improvement work, we often discover we missed things atthe work that needs to be done, so we can correct time we have to respond to something. some of those gs we know still need improvement. i think we have done a job in progress towards things like languaz understanding debbie and her team have

been wor understand that durable medical equipment is priority for they have to evacuate. do they take it with them or leave hind and the city helps find another resource? these are things we having constant conversations about, because we action or improvement planning work. when we have a actievent or like a special event that isit is a storm or no known event we have a after action meetingin the response can talk about things both that went well, because we document the things that go well so we continue to do this, but the gone as well. in apec, we obviously noted some fencing issues that had gone up and the people that access their rides for instance, paratransit or something like thto do so or didn't know they wouldn't be able get an appointment they had scheduled, so those are things we cabkn through the community branch and also through documentation of the exist. we try to be very honest not white wash them and make sure they are brought to the policy groups or have some sort

of authority to make change. and that is called the corrective we document those, try to assign to a particular department to help make those changes and we to assign a date when we expect those changes our plans are really living documents, we just completed this eop is about attachments. it is very involved document and it is going the approval process now, but even document once the stamp is on there and the director of department, mary ellen carol says it is good tago and mayor sto go, even then we can still make adjustments, so why we wantsure we constantly do improvement documentation and adding to our ng changes as needed. i think that is everything for i don't know if you want to do questions? >> yes, we have someone in-- >> hold on one sec. thank you. we are going to do a public comment t now.

instructions for blic comment. >> so, we are going ow. one person from the public. control, please unmute. mrs. sheila gunn, go ahead. >> is this me? >> yes. okay, hi. i am not at webexat all. my one experience with itago and i dreaded this. ied it on a computer though. emergency preparedness coordinator at center for independent in berkeley. i'm working from homemy office say hello and i came francisco's emergency planning as regards folks with disabilities anand functional needs, and older other folks who fall the category. assuming nothing.

i didn't know where this was in the process if it had been seen by this mayor's disabilitor not. by the way, helli worked in regarding power outages, so haven't seen you in least hear your voice. but, i stand center for independent living is org to the independent living resourof san francisco, which i'm sure you of. i'm not interested in over or any tcan all learn from each other and maybe san fran is doing stuff that cities in alameda d be doing that aren't and maybe we are doing stuff that you just think that never a bad th the one thing the folks at departments

probably already know is folks with disabilities functional needs can very much be a resource in many ways during emergencies.of resources, we know a lot about mutual aid-have 30 seconds left. put my e-mail and phone number in the chat and i will also send it to the e-mail recommended. [indiscernible] you to reach out. i'm done. thanks. >> thank you for do we have another public comment at more comments council member. >> thank you. now we're going to ask members questions? . hello your

presentaday. i know that this is a new area for us and i have the content grow. one thing i still have concerns ted with electrical power outages, especially dependent on technology and cannot communication that way and a siren and who might not know if this is have that information, so it can be real challenging for deaf individuals in the community who either of those contexts. i am concerned that don't have enough information, context, feel that it might be part of equality and equity g set up. soearth day we didn't have any access and that was funny because it was a put on the police department, the fire department, everyone there, but kind of access for a public event, so that was one have a concern for. for the residents here francisco, and another part is i am city employee, and the daw does

quire me to have that part of my job, so i'm hoping-they have not been able to provide access either, so we can do and we are kind in a the city and-hf-cut out] or training and i feel individuals have been left behind and how can eliminate that and at this point it is a little murky but we need to start thinking how we choices we have. for example,able to work with dsw, so what do we what will requirements look like for that? it is becoming a little convoluted for who is possible and what versus what we are told we can'that might effect the policy and we might need to do k dsw does not have all that information and more

in depth then we are looking as far as break down those categorihave a dsw in one and the residents context, how are we making sure that those connected and we are getting because, in all honesty, they we just don't have the dark ages with that and i wanted to put yo thought. >> do you have >> for my part, we the department of human servback and have more conversation with them. i'm not sure the dsw training is directly in my wheel house, but who are there and oryou and i worked some together during the u taught me so much, because there were things i that i learned by working directly with you, so these are thof relationships that help make progress. our leadership and i know that jenniffuther

conversation about this and so this really important information for me to hear and to bring back to so thank you. >> thank you >> the next one is denise. cochair madrid. my information more historical around years ago, pre-covid, the subcommittee in dealing with diedness, and on the subcommittee, we advocates for different agencies that provide pra variety of clients with disabilities, and at that g on a communication plan. na where it is happening and what's going on and at that time by the time i left the committee, but they were putting a key communication plan around how to deal with depending on of the disaster how to dealthin the shelters, but the hearing for them to get information. i think at that time there was remember the

name, database, where people could sign up to receive text alerts or an event of of the plans they were looking at to have people register.anged. it was years ago.things we dealt with is on the plans you have we had different drills for say it, active shooter and participation bepart that. we kind of drills around what disasters natural or otherwise.we also dealt with the advocates in dealing with people that would placed in shelters, and the people with different types of disabilities.vision impaired to mental health issues and if ce animals or support animals, et cete i don't know if that is helpful. that was at the time. we also dealt with all having evacuation chairs for people that needed at that time, if the whdidn't have access depending where they are in the we had evacuation chairs. i don't know if that is appreciate you revisiting this and coming to council and if we can

and give input more then happy to reach out. and listening. >> you are absolutely welcome. it reall good to know we have you a resource.brought this to light and same with alicia. i think ouefforts improved greatly over theest layear. some things you are talking about pre-dated my work in this particular area of emergency work, but i am familiar with it. i know that carla joworked on the evacuation chairs and i will say like to be-the registrations have always been a change so rap idly we can't necessarily count does come up periodically.of people who have rely but honesty, with i'm not always sure we'll get that list. there are other lists.s that have to be gone through. department of health is usually type of efforts, because of health cetera, et cetera. having you all as a work as closely as we started to do over , it does

help us, so if you look at our think i was looking at the census data, i are want to say it e. fairly large number of people in the city an9id,d people that live here, because we have so many torests and and you know, commuternot familiarity with but still need to support during a emergen let's continue the conversation and the more you speak out and we'll be good listeners and carry that through and that would be my this moment. >>--do you have or comments? my first introduction ever to emergency plani guess my question would be on a very l level. let's say someone is disabled and in a house and they have stair lift and all the-there is a a storm or tsunami

are stuck there. can't get out of the house and they have no way contact anyone. could you talk about a situation like your emergency -my response is that weto make more effort to for themselves-there is self-preparedness we expect from our residents because we know -for instance city workers could also be effected so we don't how quickly or how many will be able to respond.in place with human services agency and adult services that will do some wellness checks with pe are already engaged with, as far as day to day services, but i think our preparedness is really important.we can possibly get prepared in small a cash of some water and some food. your prescriptions, to s of

contacts you need, a big difference, but you are right, there are going to be are stuck in their home and without help. the fire department is our primary go-to as they are every day if we have a fire and needs rescue, and it is a situation that we the more that you can prepare for yourself, the better. everybody can do that and that even if you are mentioned durable medical equipment, if you are prepared but you may not be able to carry the heavy bat get your wheelchair down the stairs, so there are efforts that stillbe done to determine how we respond. some of this will happen the moment, depending on the incident. that is the other thing, a earthquake is different from a storm, very different a potential off electricity, so there is still lots of work to do and the good thing francisco as a whole is always making we dont ignore it, we keep i would offer we can come talk again or determine how to fix some of these things. just to follow-up--what

if disabled wants to get in touch with your office? >> we would invite you to through the mayor's office on disability and then we have work groups propriate for that individual to join for instance.to me and our contact information i think is talk about work groups that are often the work groups are up rather then individuals, they are made up of so connecting with a organization is usually a really good to the city. >> okay, thank you. i go to the staff, i lot of questions. i'm going to 3/yqone by one. one basic with a emergency, as

know, shelnot wheelchair accessibility to the city, so do you mitigate and what is the lan to insure those places that su to be accessible? >> so, we work with human service agencies when they celt up a er that is a requirement is they have been checked for accessibility. we are working on project that identifies all kinds of locations might be used for shelters, or other points of distribution, or had vaccine locations, that type of we are developing will have check lists on it we can quickly go and see that they vechecked with accessibility. but bef shelter they will do oo just in time check it is very much on their list. they use a reup a shelter so we

are lock >> so you don't do it--someone does it for you? >> to >> yes. >> someone with better accessibility will check the facility. >> your department-- >> our department does not do that. the human service agency will check accessibility. >> okay. the second one i have is, curious-- you guys-ythat thereis no individualis only organizations sits on working how many--just on all kinds of people with di all kind i will last thing

curious how often you guys practice--how many of those-- that invol with disability to identify those-- a minute ago. there is always gaps. it would be good to identify those gaps while--correct? >> yes. your first question was about a individual, sood >> yes. >> we did work with the mayor's of on disability to identify organizations that represented a wide group of so we invited-i can't say everybody we but we invited those who are deaf or hard of hearing.were from the senior community. we rom you know vulnerable populations that

have ing. we tried a-everybody is very busy now so grateful to have a number of people. >>-- >> well, debbie help me remember. group that represen we had independent living center. >> [indiscernible] >> okay. >> yeah, and we been working closely with debbie too to try to make sure we of people. there is to increase that group and the advisory group for us should be ongoing group, so we are happy to talk who you think should be representing that. and then the second about gaps and whether we've some gaps? >> >> during exercises? >> yeah. >> we have >> how many >> do we do? >> yeah. >> we do many many exercisare focused

on san francisco fleet week, which is coming up. that military and the department of defense are overwhelmed and the state is overwhelmed en the federal government, when they need to reach out to department to send the things you see at fleet week like the ships and that sort of doing that now, but regularly exercise the plans emergency operation plan is the new one, so at year we will probably start doing exercises things we put in accurate and yes, there is a portunity to invite people who have disability to be a part that. >> going back to my question, have guys identified those gaps? >> we identified e response or the exercise. so, we of the exercise and exercise is scenario, so generally we use earthquake or a storm, something that is likely to happ we call, players who are the people who and then afterwards, that after action meeting i ybe a week

later or two weeks later we gather players and we sit them and talk about, how did this work? how did this other thing work? what did you see that was a problem and together in a master improvement plan and assign let's say they set up a shelter that was after action meeting, we would say, did not have access for wheelchair users and to make those corrections the next time. a very simplified way to explain that, but that is kind >> thank you for next we can-- -- you guys have a plan in place. i just curious, is there any inforyou have any issue any questions about

any , you need call x, y or z? i follow the question. >> you mean when the eoc to respond to incident? repeat the question. for example, next week is you mentioned that ork with those big events just in case if an issue or anything like that, right? with those events, are there any at says if someone, like about how access accessibility or--let's say i'm new to and i have only are there any information that i i can contact?

>> yes. like this is, genera but another department works with event-there is generally a event planner that is coordinating all of those activities. so, there ent planner, and our city representative requput out messaging and put i can't speak for every event, but at has those sort access information that information you are looking for. that be my answer. the city does work with these planners to make sure and i site on our city site, there are guides for need to set up, what pathways you , our that type of thing, so ou planners to follow those directions, but thereat isn't our department. thank you. any follow-up questions? i think my input or my suggestion, i if your policy would apply to this, but i feel like considering it, maybe the emergency department might want consider

another priority for example the housing--perhaps we to think about prioritizing seniors if we are concerned about the housing not able to come down the stair in a emergency, so it specific number, but important we think of some kind of e know that would be a challenge, and i don't to be difficult, but for me it is red cross. to be resisant. i knowide a lot of things, but at the same time, there are i hear other people who do use red cross and it caused a with the plan or. for example, if there is housing fire and where do i go?lly stuck. that's one good thing to think about or prepared on the back-end to have that community involvement with. and i think it would be good to have the community involvement the feedbacks for your plan. just putting it out there, i think it is i think for fleet week, it doesn't have it it is just like a last minute thing.g like

that? >> okay. i think you are right, we need to conversation, and this-jenny and i can bring back for fleet week there should be accessibility and should be information on the site and because we are planning with them, i have been told there is not. back in our next planning meeting to talk to so, those again, these kind of coare great for that. >> thank you. >> did >> yes. now we ing to go to b >> i don't have any. thank you for coming. reach out to us any support and help that we might do something for you. >> this has been a really good opportunity and excited to meagain, our interaction with each other will really make this talk to director

johnston and get more stuff down the pipeline. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. >> th >> now we'll going item, 6. the mod director's report. before i introduce, i like to introduce council members. you have ortunity to meet with us. i'm going to start with patricia. little bit abou?directors can know a why you joined council? >> control, would you unmute patricia. >> i'm patricia a member of the counptember. i joined the council because i'm concerned about disability ancisco and i felt there was a lot of things that needed to be done.

everybody. my name is madrid, the cochair for the ty today is friday.to item number 7, next steps implementation of electric wheelchair charging presented by deborah and county of san francisco,office you may recall, in the april ing, you heard from th san francisco fellows, who had into the

feasibility in th they have done research and i have a few sliyou to review what you heard from them in they made several recommendations that were directed at you, the mayor's disability council to determine so, what i've done some of their slides to just and remind you of what they found their recommendations are and then i'll wind ecific questions for the end of this part of the we'll have some direction of where we need to go next to bring this ept closer reality. ]krecall, several

community members submitted y it would really make a big difference in their and the options that they have for being able to in the community to have accessible wheelchair and, i of us who use x/it's no that the devices don't always take you where you want to goave you enough electricity to get back to where you battery life can be sometimes i had this happen to me, you then you realize, oh, it didn't or, the charge is lower then i thought. so, in order to meet that need and provide for better safety for people with mobility this concept is

there is one producer wheelchair char it includes a charger and other equipment in order to make it for publ $750 per ging station. doing case study research, fellows found that have been successful wheelchair arging station programs in new york, washington and mississippi.ler jurisdictions this idea definitely has proof of behind it. so, the fellows conducted outreach to many different san francisco departments. the mta, the

port, public utility library, department of emergency meand supportive housing, recreation and parks, department of public health, and also the fellows talked with the office supervisor melgar. there was a great deal they also met with the community of disability advocates and they d a survey of the and received 82 responses, including 45 people who are el mobility device users. and what they found from their research is, people were door and there is support for the widespread throughout the city, and more communoutreach would be for making sure that all

locations are in alignment with of the key take-away the fellows because of their redifferent city departments, it would really be a lead agency to regarding ownership over d maintenance, and to turn it into a program, rather then just individual instilss the city somebody carefully coordinating and monitoring how it is going. there is interestin pursuing legislative action looking for support from the board of supervisors. [indiscernible] allow for broader

platform for city departments participate in. and there is a gap, especially during the energy people are into budgets is to find money to cut, not looking for ways to add new projects, but several the programs that exist sdictions made use of grants for their programs, so that is a possibility. and then as i said earlier indoor due to concerns for safety, better ability higher potential to have staff nearby to provide assistance. door locations are less feasible, however, there are pe want outdoor locations, because they might have a need for

recreation where it is location or not during business hours. there are concerns several people about safety ndalism as something that needs to be takedesigning the recommendations that came to you from the fellows are have individual agency multiple agency implementation. individual agencies that expressed interest in the program and taking it on mta, recreation and parks and e public library, and individual p would allow for moreof the project without having to take into different ways of doing things erent departments

with diand faster implementation if it is just one entity involved in decision making, individual department running a project, there is lack of city wide approach, and some e wheel by individual agencies same project themselves, rather then in coordinated way. multiple would include more departments the possibility of adding more depaorder to expand the network more readily.ad agency to oversee the projein terms of funding a weakness of this approach is, there would meetings involved

basically and need for more coordination and communication. and then, there were some slidthe presentation different commitment of specific departments. the mta is strongly committed to the and has several locations to place charging stations. recreation and parks is also inlocations at different parks that would be suitable. and public library, particularly interested in having something the and then, 4of the research that was done the bellevue washington implementation the project. they implemented 6 stations s done by their office of

management for disaster preparedness for and similarly, the san emergency managemd be involved, possibly as a lead emergency management aspect of project like this. some of the depa interested in the project anyhow, library, are also acting emergency shelters du pursuing multi-agency implementation could occur the auspices of the a public hearing could incentive for collaboration different entities involved in the project, and an ordinance or legislation would insure more and structure for a project.is not

likely during the current funding season that funds would be found from the current budget.nce the cost the individual units is not very high, it would be worth looking into the possibility money from existing programs. so, the recommendation from the for further research included, looking into additional locations, understand the feasibility, contireach with city agencies, organizations and looking at whether there are jurisdictions that have projects or considering like this.putting together a icted maintenance needs and costs and devea funding strategy.

so, for you. which approach do you prefer?individual agency implementation, or agency implementation? should the asked to hold a hearing, and steps do you recommend being taken a meeting of interested departments, development of a more specific project proposal, research into potential or other research or other at's where we are. >> are you looking for-- >> lookin for multiple agency-- so there

no confusion who is doing what. comes to funding, multiple agencies --i thinki'm together and when we down with mod to some kind of ideas, implementation. i think i want to advantage having a-- city administrator, be

beneficial what the or can do--i think what . denise. >> thank you cochair the after reviewing the different and recommendations i was trying to find a happy medium with all three plans, because at a legislative perspective getting buy in i know funding is a tabu.that may have access to alternative funding. so, i gues one, i would probably think of the

multiple agencyget city departments, such as-nottop of my head, having conversthe department of emergency management and then those individual agciki your recommendation into forming a partnership with them and then legi board of supervisors or any of the departments from the who are have legislative buy-in this is worst possible time during the budgetsince the agencies might have other avenues getting some sort ing, because that will be the key thing getting legislative buy-in is where the money comes from and who will and the agencies can maybe come to ads who says who wants to spearhead thisgive input and have a plan in place. those decisions can come latercan think about it at this time. i probably will ha thought later, but thank you. >> patricia. you have any thoughts? ank you alex.

i agree with denise. be a multi-agency pursuit.agencies are responsible they are kuown little silo and there ould be uniformity related this project, so i would definitely go with the multi-agency plan to it might take a little more time, but sense there is not a highly expensive project, it might go little faster and might be easier to find money when these agencies working together. thank you. >> -- >> say again? >> backebbie. what's yoursteps and suggestions the questions? what to do next? >> i thinkwhat

you said alex.interpret it as, making sure that there's a lead that there's one department that is whole thing. think that's possible with a-and it essential with a multiple is really encouraging that there are want to be involved and want to figure out to do this, know, another reason for having a agency approach is, that e way that the a user perspective should be uniform because went to one site and it worked this way and these were the rules, another one, and it is a use it. and so, i think that's just another take

i think kind of project because ally low cost, it might be possible to ry small pilot with work it into a larger while that's going on in order not to wait until set in stone. >> is it to have a mod to the lead and have those three agencies planning? >> i differ to the interim director. [laughter] >> i'll speak to that. ththank you cochair for raising that. i do think at the very least mod does need to pull the information much it cost, how it is installed, because i that, but

it may be simple as understanding where these have been deployed, where the policies shed be kind of guidance and then if we have agen library, understanding where they lrb and having regular maintenance and expectation. given the fact they are so low in cost i think it manageable trying a pilot absolutely, and we are happy to resources, because frankly, the agencies are not going to be willing they have a better understanding of you this all mean. i think that is manageable and can try to focus on. >> thank you. >> >> are there--so back to the do you have anymore discussion questions? >> no. we haven't yet gotten this and there may be some, and i think it be very interesting to hear what people think. >> if yoread that information. >> we'lha if people joined recently to

connected the emergency depart going to say, i raised foreshe said that, that the of emergency has a that's the spanish word for ready, and work folks who are adversely impactedin emergencies. basically folks d functional needs or this funding, it is pretty open or be, and i recommend two cbo's to start with that i know not well versed in all things san francisco. i would recommend the action network and i also recommend, ilrcsf.

i don't know much about [indiscernible], but it would be a ally i think that other agencies and orgs could get the funding and fema related possibly dhs funding state and federal, but i don't know all the if, those things so i guess studying would have to be done,would i want to comment at the end of everything, because i is not accessible. that is for another meet that's all for now. >> thank you for your comment. are this time? >> there is control, please unmute mrs. allison lehear me okay? >> yes, we can. >> great. my name is allison working for department of aging and adult services this topic here. i am attending as a guestthe presentation it was

>> i don't want to be involved process after it happens. i want to be the front end to help people with something in my mind from a very early age. community is the important way to look at things even now. george floyd was huge. it opened up wounds discussion on something festering for a long t before rodney king. you can look at all the instances where there are calls for change. i think we are involved in now in this moment that is going to be longit is very challenging. i was the victim of me when

i was in middle school. some kids at pe class and came to tried to steal my watch and physically assaulted helped afterwards went out of his ve i like to have inriff's office regardless of circumstance. that influenced me a lot. some changed. what is mys is that i that trigger memories. thed the shoe store is another one that remember buying shoestrings and getting my boots fixed. we would see movies after the and i would go there. itit is if you keep walking down takes you to japan town. that where my grandparents were brought is the traditional foods or able to celebrate the

culture in that community. family also had a dry-cleaning hard work. the family grew up with apartments above the business. we a built-in work force. 19 as -- 1941 as soon as that happe entire community was fixed. >> determined t democracy should with real consideration for the people >> the decision to take every one japan niece american o japanese from their homes. my family went to the experienced winter and summer and springs. make their home home. the community came together to share.ed to infuse each home are littlehings. i remember my grand mother saying were very scared. they were worried. they also felt the great sense

me first. it was not just me in that moment itryone. it wasn't me looking at the crowd. it was all of together. i was standing there everyone standing next to me. it. it is not about me. it is f father. my father couldn't be there. the first person i saw was him. i still am surprised by the fact i see my nampy to be in the position i am in to honor their memory doing what i am doing now to help comment. when i say that we want t especially focused on ma coming from my background and my family experienced that didn't happen in a decision made by thevernment. nobody raised their voice. now, i think we are in a better place country and community. when we see

have change agents step up to help the community affected. that is to continue to do. about change and being a leader in change not knowing whether you have successes oract of the matter is by choosing to have already changed things. through inspiration for take up the matter or whether it is throughctional change as a result of your voice being heard. i think you have already path to change by choosing that path. that in april of itself creates service for my family. something i hope to my children. i have a pretty five children one will go into some sort of civil service. continue that legacy. am paul sheriff of san

later that women clarissa mcman served in the board of supervisors. since then women have continued to make significant contributions to the board of isors. so who are these women? and what impact have made with their time on the board. >> to be honest it came rise when i became as a supervisor. i was working a deputy director in the mayor's office and there were some supervisor and that supervisor from office. i was asked to serve on the it was a quick transition, but i got into publ because i really believe that government is a place where you rtunities and level the playing field. >> madam clerk, would you i was on the board of supervisors from have been involved in working my community, there was scheduling to be a redevelopment area plan and people. so because to be a committee formed of all
