>> my name is will daley. i have been a resident of san francisco for the last 35 years and currently a front-line staff person in your district. our organization operates rapid rehousing and permanent housing. i have a deep background in the nonprofit world for the last 10 years. i've volunteered at various agencies like saint anthony's. and zen hospice project. there have been two occasions where i felt the clients were not being served, and i gave

notice i would go to the city agency. i did so at the risk of retaliation. i was instrumental in organizing a union representation because my job description has not received a raise since 2000. we got 93% of eligible people to sign a union card. i am frontline staff, and i care about the clients. >> three and four? >> and five. supervisor kim: ok. >> my name is deborah muse.

i like to take my name off of seat two and apply for 3, 4, 5, or 6. i believe i can be an asset to the committee for several reasons. i have experience with homelessness. i worked in the shelter, actually. you can find me every wednesday evening on sixth street giving out clothes and food to the homeless. with lazarus house. i have worked in some housing environments where the homeless are not exactly sheltered. it is a place where they can go and sit and watch tv in the

evening, get a good meal. i have a homeless knowledge. i have a passion to help those. i know how it feels. circumstances of all, and put us there. i believe i could also be a benefit knowing a good and bad of the shelter and what can be fixed. i believe that for those reasons i should be considered for the seat. >> i'm maxine paulson, i've applied for seat 2. i could fall under 4, 5, and 6. i did not get a nomination, but

i first took seat number one the first two years and my son is now 21. i timed out of that spot. i got a seat with the local homeless coordinating board. i chose to only apply for this board of supervisors spot because of the local homeless court matings but on the committee was always full and there are always pulls. since i have been a stable member and have not missed any meetings, i have been laid because i am coming from -- late because i'm coming from bayview. i have been working a lot with the homeless coordinating board and i have gone to their meetings. the rules committee had not been

as involved with the shelter monitoring. i am disabled and i live in public housing. i have been very involved with redevelopment in district 10. >> a good afternoon, supervisor kim. supervisors elsbernd and farrell. it is a pleasure to be here. i'm sorry.

patricia card farrell. i am applying for seat number two. i believe my current experiences with and the san francisco shelter system would greatly enhance the efforts of the shelter monitoring committee. the city of san francisco is constantly attempting to raise the level of operation and care of the homeless population. as a disabled client and a resident in the shelter system, i continue to gain valuable insight and understanding the needs and challenges in providing ongoing support service to our nation's homeless population. i have a client in the disability system of the city since my return to the bay area

in february of 2010. before this time, i have been afforded the benefit of experience in homelessness and shelter placement in 25 shelters and at least 25 different states beginning with my displacement home in atlanta georgia in 2007. this experience has afforded me the benefit of personally witnessing the day-to-day operation of many of our best and worst shelter operations. take away these experiences, and when given the opportunity to share with those bodies objectively and insightfully, i believe in services to the community can be enhanced and positively impact our nation's, as community. i believe my career experience in the late 7 d's into a 80's

have helped my understanding of those emigrating to our states from other countries and those less fortunate populations that continue to struggle with the barriers to acquire permanent housing in stabilizing their life situations. this experience has given me an acquired exposure for having a keen awareness of the verse groups of people. -- diverse groups of people. i have the challenge of raising my accomplished african-american children in the low-income affordable project-based section 8. this has been quite a challenge as we face drug activity and literacy on a daily basis.

i have many ideas for strengthening the positive growth of our homeless population that i believe would assist the streamlining of services. i believe these ideas will be viable as they will not attacked ec's resources or add to the already tight resources -- bc the's resources or add to the already tight resources. i hope you afford me the no. 2 seed on the shelter monitoring committee. -- number two seat on the shelter monitoring committee. >> howdy. my name is charles pitts. i apologize for getting you this

document lake. i was under the impression i was going to get another letter, but that did not materialize. it was a letter i received from the team, one of their members. she's one of the head members. i have been working with them the past year, one of the things where they give otut smoothies, vegetables, bread, and coffee. they got them put into stabilization rooms. the other thing i have been doing is volunteering at a place where they give suit to the homeless -- soup to the

homeless. i have been attending the monitoring committee meetings for about three years. i have been attending the sro task force meetings. i have attended several meetings so i feel like i have a rough draft as to what some of the problems are the homeless people face. i have served two tours of being homeless. i'm housed now. the other thing, too, is that i have read a lot of the documents regarding policy and

procedure regarding the shelter systems. my examples are the run-around report. the ordinance creating the shelter monitoring committee. i will review those documents as well. i understand the policy and procedure regarding the shelter systems. i definitely want to add our goal of -- our duties and responsibilities is not just to go look at shelters.

and just look at them. we are supposed to write of reports. -- out reports. part of the responsibility of the shelter committee is to talk about and make policy recommendations. those are some of the things that i would look forward to. i look forward to the idea that we can actually shape in a shift policy and procedure in a manner where we can improve people's lives and bring a wrap-around service motto. some of my theories are to do it in a fashion where it doesn't cost of the city much money.

my goal is to have them come to the shelter system. they also gave me an idea. -- an i.d. i will show that. they gave me an i.d. as well. it's like a subset of the sf team. are you familiar with the team? they kind of like just go all over the city and county of san francisco. they can pick you up and put you into a shelter or stabilization rooms. they are starting to help people live.

i have attended the meetings for the past three years, pretty much regularly. i read the policy and procedure. i have been homeless twice. and i am helping out in the community with the soup kitchen. i have attended several other meetings that would give me the knowledge of what could be done. supervisor kim: thank you. you are here for seats, two, three, and four? >> it's possible i could qualify for seats five and six. supervisor kim: was a nomination letter submitted? two, three, four, five, and six.

thank you. thank you. are there any questions for any of the applicants? i did not see there was another applicant. we will move to quarks i am so co-founder. i am here to support the application to be on the board to regard i have known charles for around four years. charles was a very familiar face at committee meetings. he often contributed with obvious passion and concern

about helping the homeless. he has already tried to improve its procedures to help homeless. i've brought this around three coasts he has probably been to 100 different meetings -- i brought this around because he has probably been to 100 different meetings. charles was featured in "the wall street journal" a year and a half ago in an article on computers and contributing. not too many people have a character done for them in "the wall street journal." he is an expert on homeless policy, and it is a shame he has not been appointed to a

committee yet in san francisco. i think this is really his seizure to be given an opportunity -- his year to be given an opportunity to show what he can bring to help a homeless, because he has a passion. he attends regularly, and he was not just talking the talk. he really does walk the walk as well. >> is there any other public comment since? >> ♪ our shel birdbaths in -- sheltered paths may never cross

again ♪ ♪ bring in the sheltered son mccain -- sunshine. won't you fix up the shelter world ♪ ♪ i am so glad this item added on for all regions -- did unfurl ♪ ♪ and i would not have missed this item for the world ♪ ♪ ever since this item did unfurled, take it up for everyone that needs it in the city ♪ and fixing up the shelter world, city ♪ >> good afternoon, supervisors.

i am not seeking reappointment right now you're your region right now -- i am seeking reappointment right now. if they are taken off because of the appointment with the board, that is good. moving on down the list, i want to give part of my recommendation. i had the privilege to years ago, and it is quite an experience.

she knows how to talk about the experience, and she knows how to connect with people. you notice she is also really involved, and she is also an activist in her own communities. i am very impressed by the consistency of another one of your eyes flicker and secure your -- very impressed by another one of your applications. hopefully, that can help you all out.

>> good afternoon. i am here to support maxine paulson. we met in o work group. they were passed by the board of supervisors. youthey were both up one time homeless. i think it would be done public policy for this committee to put

a shelter director on the committee. the committee is supposed to do oversight of its shelters common and i think they are dealing with a conflict of -- who do oversight of its shelters, and i think they are doing conflict of interest. this would increase the work load for the other members. they would have to do an additional inspections. i think it is bad policy if a shelter director would sit on the committee. >> public comment is now closed. madam clerk, please correct me if i am wrong, but i want to indicate that seats one will remain vacant because applicants

are withdrawing their application, so we are looking at seats 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. is that correct? >> can you repeat which people withdrew nominations? >> it would be linda, scott, elizabeth and her in -- anchor. >> thank you. >> we have four people saying they were applying for seat 5 and 34 seat six. -- 3 for 66. -- for seat 6. >> cathy only has a nomination

letter for seat 3, and she would need a residency waiver. the second is amanda, and there was no nomination letter s mr.ubmi region -- nomination letter submitted. >> what about will daly, who said he could apply for seat 5. deborah said she could be seat five and six, maxine said she could be seat five and six, and charles said he could serve on

feet 5 and 6. do we have the appropriate nomination forms for those seats democrats denomination and letters we received in your pockets -- for these seats. >> the nomination letters we received are in your packet. >> does that mean we do not have done? >> they could be potentially qualified for the seats they would like to apply for. they could submit a nomination letter to us for the board meeting, but currently we do not have a letter from don. -- them. perhaps the applicant himself could answer the question very good harks -- the question. >> i have feet two, judy for just see too, maxine for only
