>> commissioner. >> can i ask the representative from d h formulation you're ready to commit on that? >> we acknowledged the -- and we know from our own experience is maintaining the constricting psych beds is a difficult thing to do but i'm not prepared to make a position on that that. >> well difficulty doesn't have anything to do in the there a need for it? i understand the need we had a meeting we couldn't get into the police sections of the mental facility
4:01 am
but there was a lot of discussion about the great need for more community based services but at the same time the emergency room is over flowing so nights not just community stuff. there's a real need for something to take place in the hospital situation. that's all i'll saying >> i can give you a little bit of experience i know the c pmc could give you the experience. you're correct that our psych beds are full. however, their full not only with patients that require psych care but patients who are waiting for an appropriate place to go in the community.
4:02 am
they're not appropriate for the inpatient facility. so at any given time approximately half of our patients in the unit are eligible to go to other plays for care. so the relationship we had for door street would put a staff member to divert those patient to that lower level of care >> but - how can the situation that we're currently talking resolve the issue of 50 percent of your patients in those beds currently doesn't have access to the community; right?
4:03 am
and you're trying to is to me now that the arrangement will result in the 50 periods of time to be able to have the community based resources? >> i'm in agreement we need more community based mental health services to awe - >> i can't accept that because people spent all this time negotiating but i will accept the motion that we ask the board of supervisors to maintain the psych beds or net get community services provided for.
4:04 am
we're not going to negotiate tonight >> somebody comes to us and we want to see you, we don't go oh, maybe a. >> this is for whatever reason even with the community it's not perfect but for whatever reason psych beds were left out of this agreement. >> i feel the same way i won't want to change the agreement at this point. >> i think we have the power to do that or why are we sitting here? >> commissioners there's another motion and a second if you could forward me those comments. as a clarification.
4:05 am
did the rest of the board accept you're not condition but recommendation that the board take a look at this issue or not? >> that's part of the moths. >> that we're just seeing - >> we want to request of the board of maintaining 18 beds or finding more beds in the community. >> all right. >> okay. so on the motion commissioner (calling names) so move commissioner that motion passes unanimously 7 to zero. commissioners that will place

>> it's so great to see a full house like this. it means the world to us and to the whole cause of anti-trafficking. we are waiting for mayor lee. my name is nancy goldberg, cochair of the seven cisco collaborative against human trafficking. i wanted to introduce my past chair, and my new cochair. when i tell people of my involvement their shock to hear that san francisco is in
4:22 am
major definition of human trafficking. they think it is people from other parts of the world. there are also so many right here, from our own bay area communities. in the city that is out of human trafficking we are also committed to being an agent of change. i want to give you a brief history of sf cat, san francisco collaborative against human trafficking. in response to what we saw is a growing problem, four organizations formed up in 2008, the jewish coalition against human trafficking; national council of jewish women, jewish reel fund, --
4:23 am
we then realize would needed a wider coalition in order to be more effective we reached out to a large variety of the government sectors. in february 2008 the jewish coalition held a conference against human trafficking which included agencies such as the san francisco commission on the status of women, representative of the mayor's office and other nonprofits. this event also attracted members of the state assembly and a few congressional offices. at a meeting following our conference a i was asked to chair the larger group and my condition was that there be a cochair from the mayor's office
4:24 am
at that time was catherine dodd. the san francisco collaborative against human traffic was born. in 2010 - from the beginning emily morassie (sounds like) executive director of the san francisco commission on the status of women was always involved as well as theresa sparks, executive director of the human rights commission. they were not only the core of the beginning but also generously offered to help us and support us and today that is where we are housed. we have a membership of over 28 agencies public and private representing a wide area of government agencies, law enforcement agencies, service providers, educators and community members. we are committed to ending human trafficking through collaboration, education, outreach, raising awareness
4:25 am
and supporting survivors of human trafficking. how many cities have this kind of public private cooperation? i don't know but we are among the first and speaks about the efforts put forth in the city but isn't this the city where all things that are impossible can happen? i wanted to just a few people who are here. first and foremost the honorable mayor ed lee. and supervisor carmen chu, has been a great champion. the winners of the sf cat annual poster concert and the keynote speaker, -- a human traffic survivor and advocate. i want to say that other human rights commissioners are here, -- and vice chair doug chen,
4:26 am
-- commissioner, the president julie -- nancy kirshner rodriguez, police chief greg sur (sounds like) -- i will like to turn this over to mayor lee.diana are you here? he is on his way. well - thank you. why don't we do that? why waste a moment. >> nancy did mention that we will announce the winners of
4:27 am
the fabulous poster contest. i am the executive director of commission on the status of women. the mayor will be announcing not only the winners of the poster contest but also the winners of this year's abolitionist awards. fire commissioner -- is here and emily conroy from the department of justice is here. thank you for joining us. i want to bring up mayor lee so she can bring up the announcements of the honorees for today. apl(applause) >> thank you emily and thank you to the commission on the status of women to our human rights commission thank you for being here and the commissioners and staff as well. thank you police chief for being here
4:28 am
and certainly all the other department heads. wendy thank you for being here as well. members of the community. advocacy groups that have been so important to this movement. supervisor carmen chu, i know you and mayor newsom had this initial effort back some years ago to recognize the need to abolish human trafficking. an san francisco being such an international city, many of our roots are from immigrant families. we understand the problem. we did do something about it and continue that effort. i want to thank the us attorney's office for being here. and so many of you who have from the community done and continue to do what you can do to end human trafficking. this is such an important
4:29 am
challenge for all of us. and because we here at from immigrant families; we hear from immigrant women and girls. the stories are real. they come across international borders. and so san francisco being the city that is not only aware of this, and aware of international traffic that occurs we have to continue doing something about it. if anything, our goal is of course to educate our youth; to make sure they understand that they have partners in both city government and in the community to help. those that are lucky and can survive; all of this and when they end up on the shores of san francisco, if we can find them and provide them with support and help them change their lives. and then get to the business of the criminal acts involved
4:30 am
in exploiting our kids. we should do all of that and this trafficking. i want to thank everybody for being here today, helping celebrate this event recognizing the awareness month but also recommitting ourselves in every possible way to do what we can do to end this on a worldwide basis and to know the source businesses and individuals and groups of people organized to continue this effort and to do our best to end their activities as well. i want to make sure that i think both emily but also nancy goldberg for your interest as well not only interest but your work as a native san franciscan to do everything that you have been doing to end this too. i am privileged
