all up first >> next person is joyce pierson. >> oh, i'm expressing my appreciation today to meet with the supervisors here today regarding my application to become a minute of the lgbt senior task force. i'm a resident of san francisco and have lived in the bay area since the 1980s. i've worked in community services funded by age act. my most recently employment bylaw before i become semi retired i was the consultant with the national center for lesbian rights which established

the first elder law for lgbt people. i was trained as a legal advocate in the 1970s in a special project by the california department of aging to are a parallel and community organizer for seniors in general and i worked in that capacity for many years. i came out as a lesbian in my 40s and when i moved here in 1988 i was pressuring my gratuidegree. i would like to say i served in another position and was active

and traveled around the country for the educational advocacy for the rights of lgbt people and during that period i spoke with numerous national organized having to do with help and serves for elders such as the american society on aging and task force for lblt and national alzheimer's association. so i was had the great opportunity to bring to attention the unmet needs of a very large invisible population not only in california but throughout the country. which became some of the great work that was later recognized by the state department of the aging and other organizations throughout the country and with the federal officer on aging.

i'm now semi retired i live at a senior complex in san francisco. i continue to volunteer for the lgbt seniors. i'm now a representative that the health and aging program. and now that i'm a senior myself i'm getting to know what it feels like to be on the other side of the table. i remembered when i had the first legal interview how it felt so, now i know. i also want to mention i'm a licensed marriage and a family athlete and i special in working with older people. i'm still active in my retirement years and would be very interested in becoming a member of this group. so if you if you have any

questions, we'll be happy to answer them >> i have a question. have you ever attended any of the task force meetings and a no, i have not. i wasn't aware of the task for the force i retired in 2009 i went through the loss of my partner and went into the background for a couple of years. i'm active with the old lesbians which is a laurg group of three to four hundred women we have mostly support meetings and do a lot of legal and health education and i'm actually. we're planning a national conference here next year. so, you know, i'm still involved.

in 2010, the open house lgbt organization awarded me with what they call their trail bel-air's award. i was one of the people there that i submitted an application at that time, >> thank you. craig. james wagner. marsha merrifield man >> good afternoon, supervisors. i have bring 25 years in community health work in the lgbt and for the last ten years i've focused on the mental health and psych needs. i've been actively participated in the lgbt task force that the

city had that produced a successful conferees and i developed a training called stonewall and it was well received at the convention as well as with the number of graduate programs throughout the city and a at the melbourne australia conventions. i've developed a support group for gay men over the age of 50 that's been successful. i work in >> community mental health agency and i'll aware there's a lot of good work. my hope i can bring my

expertise. i've reviewed the survey and hope i can contribute my expertise to implementation of the work that's gone. thank you >> okay. any questions. >> i think my question is from the city attorney i was trying to look in my notes. is there a - can you tell me what the make up of the task force is now >> what was the question? >> i can locate it. >> the make up of the task for now. >> right now there's 11 men on the task force. >> any other questions. >> nope. >> thank you any public comment on this item? >> supervisors open government. from the comments - excuse me.

the comments made here today i believe there's no question that ms. pierson and mr. feldman have the greatest qualifications. as a gay elder myself i think that having a person who is sufficiently aware to attend this meeting is a key criteria. one of the things unfortunately attending a lot of meeting the police and library commission etc. there's a real problem with attention at the meetings. if someone can't bring themselves to come to the meeting i think that is an unfortunate messages there might

be some attention. it's easy to say, you know, i'll do what i have to do but it's a lot harder to get people to do that. unfortunately for example, on the library commission we have at least 2 library commissioners that miss more than they attend pea the mayor's office has a policy when their absent they should be recommended for replacement that was put in place by mayor nooum. so again, i would say that ms. pierson and mr. feldman would bring the most experience to this body >> thank you any public comment on this item?.

sooendz. first of all, i want to thank the 3 candidates for showing up today and making the effort. i want to remind the public i guess this seat was vanth because of the death of jazz i didn't collins as note by supervisor breed. the current make up is 11 men and 3 women and i personally would like to see inasmuch as mr. feldman you're very qualified it's a personal entire on my part to see this committee to be as balanced as possible. so by - for me ms. pierson was the most qualified to really -

there's nobody going to replace the shoes but you're the most qualified in my mind to at least make an attempt to do this. that's where my views are >> i definitely was expressed with the qualifications of ms. pierson and mr. feldman which evenly because of the different reasons i think that they both bring something to the table that's missing with their advocacy and also their overall experience in various field. i think one of the things i'd like to explore is this attention record of the counter member and looking at the possibility of making sure that the people who are on the committee they're there and committed and showing up for meetings so we can make room for

those who want to serve. i want to move forward and make a motion to move ms. perry as opposed to name with a positive recommendation and i also want to acknowledge that there are no members of the transgender on this prairie task force so i think we should look at the attendance and make sure the folks are committed to servicing and take into account we want to have a balance and personally i'd like to see mr. feldman serve in one of the capacities in the future and there's a motion on the table >> second and any comments and a i'm not going to social myself with the comments.

>> so no objection so the that motion passes. thank you ms. pierson and mr.field man for coming today >> madam clerk item number i think number 7. >> excuse me. mr. chair what you like for me to read items 8 through 10. >> i'm sorry. >> would you like me to read items 8 through 10 it is my understanding that supervisor campos wants to be here for the next item. >> for my colleagues we'll move item 7 when mr. campos is ready to attend. so madam clerk my colleagues the next 3 items are all repelled

and there's multiple applicants that's applied for 1 or two or three of those. so what i'd like to do is take ail 3 items 8, 9, and 10. so madam clerk, please introduce 8, 9, and 10 >> having appointed two members to the assessment court number one there are two seats and item want is to consider appointing 3 members terms ending to the assessment board there are 3 seats and 8 applicants and the next is the ending of september 5th to the assessment appeals court number 3. >> i believe don is here. i
