transgender out in the community that's gonna be out to celebrate. the hotels know crimes that were committed in the hotels -- the owners of these private hotels tell law enforce /-pl force [inaudible] do not warrant any additional investigation for being [inaudible] on some shelf over in the evidence room is not sent to the state crime lab for analysis. these are the crimes that take [inaudible] that do not warrant notice. education, education is the key to a lot of intervention and prevention

and that's what we need. the community do not communicate with the police. there's another group of crime that's talking place. blacks committing blackings committing crimes against other african american and they all [inaudible]. >> thank you. next speaker. >> i'm the deputy director over at lyric and i have to echo our community partners and say we've been around for 25 years and this epidemic has been unchanged. it persists because of'slation, over the years have

been attacked and assaulted in the streets because they are transgender. our youth are abused in their homes. they're threatened with weapons in the schools. this is an ongoing problem and it hasn't changed. i think one of the key things to focus on is what are some of the solutions and it's about getting behind the februarys actually we have a team of youth and [inaudible] their launching a campaign to make their school transgender inclusive and to have transgender bathrooms. they weren't aware their school had policies around it, weren't aware that there were resources

available. it's their queer brothers and it's their fierce straight allies. we see this in the community as well and it's been the partnership with groups like the domestic violence [inaudible] so i thank you for making space for this conversation and i'm excited to take meaningful steps forward that will stop this violence. >> good afternoon supervisors. beverly [inaudible] first i

last year shocking and absolutely upsetting about the level of fear and violence towards our transgender students in the school district. we applaud this work for being done and presented. we do know it's the first in the country, but it really presents both the responsibility and the call to action to san francisco. we also want to be a part of that as well. we think that we can do better and should do better.

i think one of the other issues we heard sparks address is that secure communities and immigration issue. i just think that it puts all immigrant survivors of any kind at risk, but you can only imagine if you -- maybe your id does not match what you are appearing to be in public. also the language access issues when you couple that with just repressive secure communities policies, we are looking at just a terrible cross roads for this community and so many other communities trying to dig their way out of violence towards safety and dignity. so with that i'll say thank you for your work on this. i hope we see unanimous support on

this issue. >> thank you. is there any other member of the public who has not spoken who would like to speak. seeing none, public comment is closed. i do have some closing remarks, but i want to give supervisor yes yee to speak. >> i want to thank you supervisor campos for shining some light on what's going on with this population. it's obvious we have a lot more work to do to protect these citizens and that when the opportunity comes up for us at the board of supervisors to provide more resources for those efforts i will be supporting it.

>> thank you supervisor yee. i want to thank all of the agencies who have been here today -- da, police department, our school district, our human rights commission and i also want to acknowledge and appreciate the work of the domestic violence consortium because they have really 'em embraced this issue and i think there are many things we can do here. i would like to continue this item to the call of the chair so we can bring it back in a few months to see where things are, but i think that the most immediate thing -- and i would like to set up a meeting with some of the key play ers here to make sure that we have a comprehensive strategy about the budget in terms of what additional resources that are needed.

clearly there are resources [inaudible] efforts that are funded, whether it's ella, lyric, so i think that's one piece of the puzzle that we need to create domestic violence funding for the transgender community. we need to look at the police department to see if we need more support in the hate crimes unit. i think we need to look at funding. like wise with the district station. i think the human rights commission is really key. my understanding is that you don't have a hate crimes unit so i think that's really critical because it's not enough for these other agencies to have that funding.

the hfc plays a very important role in making sure that we as a city are /tkoupbg doing this. and then there are other policy issues that need to be addressed and then larger issues around services that need to be provided for this community. but i thank you all for being here and i want to thank the women who have come out to share their stories. i want you to know that the city is committed and we are committed to see action. so

with that i want to thank all of you. i want to thank stephanie ash ashley at my office in helping to coordinate this item, i want to thank our police department again, or da, and all of you for being here. let's make this hope. with can take the motion to continue to the chair without objection. >> that concludes today's agenda. >> thank you. the meeting adjourned.

i'm nicole and lindsey, i like the fresh air. when we sign up, it's always so gratifying. we want to be here. so i'm very excite ied to be here today. >> your volunteerism is appreciated most definitely. >> last year we were able to do 6,000 hours volunteering. without that we can't survive. volunteering is really

important because we can't do this. it's important to understand and a concept of learning how to take care of this park. we have almost a 160 acres in the district 10 area. >> it's fun to come out here. >> we have a park. it's better to take some of the stuff off the fences so people can look at the park. >> the street, every time, our friends. >> i think everybody should give back. we are very fortunate. we are successful with the company and it's time to give back. it's a great place for us. the weather is

nice. no rain. beautiful san francisco. >> it's a great way to be able to have fun and give back and walk away with a great feeling. for more opportunities we have volunteering every single day of the week. get in touch with the parks and recreation center so come >> the court is now accg applications for the civil grand jury. this investigative watchdog body is comprised of 19 public spirited citizens. >> we are seeking candidates from all walks of life, 18 or older, who will bring to the grand jury a wide spectrum of talent, ideas, and issues of concern. >> for more information, visit the civil grand jury website at

sfgov.org/courts or c >> we're back. motion to reveal? >> motion not to disclose. >> president torres: all those in favor? >> we are announcing action was taken on items 16 and 17. any other business? >> we referenced the communication received from the san francisco labor council, item cca hearing on the agenda. i wanted to make a reference because i am an elected member of the san francisco labor

council. i was not in attendance at the executive meeting nor at the meetin glast night where the item was authorized by the elected body. there have been a lot of changes, i've myself clear about the changes. there has been a lot of support form the advocates, the kids here today,

evaporating. it would go a long way to gettting us to where we need to be by staffing picking up these 3 short items. >> president torres: without objection that should be the oder. >> i have a quesiton. it doesn't say here, they are asking us to reject the contract with shell. i don't know the origin of that. i don't know if the staff could uncover what some of the reasons are for the labor council taking that position. is there some issue they have with shell?

>> that should be the order. >> i intentionally avoided asking any conversation because we have the obligation to continue these negotiations in aith and wanted o on those principles. we are trying to move the ball forward. i understand those comments. i'd be fine if we didn't open that door. >> it may be open by testimony at the public hearing. >> that should be the order. we are adjourned.

would you please call the roll. >> commissoner courtney: here

>> commissioner vietor:here >> commissioner moran:here >> commissioner moller caen:here >> before we proceed, i would like to ask the indulgence of the commissioners to move item 13 to a time where we can have a joint beating with -- since they have been a very ardent partner. whenever we can organize a meeting, i know schedules are always a problem but i do think that there are so many issues that i still have to review that i would like to entertain that is an alternative. commissioner vietor? >> commissioner vietor: i would support that motion but i would like to go on record saying that time is of the essence. i have heard their eagerness to get cca launched as quickly as

possible. so i would support the motion if we can find the time to schedule that in all due haste, hopefully in the next one or two weeks, and hopefully everybody's prepared to vote one way of the other. >> president torres: i would like to do more diligence on sonoma, and finding answers that perplexes many. i was talking to commissioner moran, this issue has been around for decades and how to find the right approach on the right rate is important but also whoever is listening this is not an effort to destroy the program or stop it. i will continue church pg&e to come up with a maternity of. will not abandon our approach in this matter.

>> i would ask in the interim it's that could put together an articulation of our offering that makes it is rich and appealing an alternative as possible. and i think that we have been kind of down in the weeds; this is why you need to put your money with us, why you invest in the city. the set of values that you want to incorporate as part of your power of purchase. if we can get some of the messaging people involved in that, i think that would be very helpful. >> commissioner vietor expressed that concern as well in the past and recently. >> all of us have to make an effort to find a meeting date.

it seems to be a problem. i think we all have to be a little flexible and try to find a meeting date. >> right. and will proceed with all due diligence with the notice of public hearing which under our ordinance may take up to 15 days; it may be two weeks. we will move with haste. any other comments? >> i would add that we need to balance faith with our obligations. tn particular a request from staff or flowchart that shows us where we were two years ago and where we are today. we have a lot of men and women in this room right now interested specifically in the jobs and the employment component. that's been something that has been causing me a little bit of distress so i do want to balance our need to have that information readily available to us in advance of this meeting and scheduled that meeting and i supported.

>> without objection that should be the order and we will move on to the reading of the minutes. any comments from members of the commission with respect to the minutes? >> i will move approval. >> seconded. public comments on the minutes? there being none, without objection that should be the order of approve. alif all those in favor?opposed? motion is carried. number four, doctor jackson wanted to make a statement on public comments. >> thank you very much. that was a quick meeting of my committee over the weekend because of statements that have been made; i want to say zip code map for 124, because that is where the sewage plant is and that the requested me to bring that to

you today, that was a discussion. i brought a budget. the budget says, -- community outreach, and you will be able to discuss that later. i would like to say that commissioner moran - i have known him for quite a few years. he was a part of zip code 94124 with what we were supposed to do as a commissioner, and do what was involved. i just learned last week that one of our buildings is called 100 whitney young circle, the community building. without that under the redevelopment back in 68, community building and day care center for retarded children. >> president torres: excuse me doct j
