dedication is the reason that i have been so successful in a short amount of time in my work history and so thank you for this meeting and i hope that you guys will consider hiring more team with disabilities and i am an example of someone and i may not have a lot of work experience, but i have a darn good job with what i have done. >> thank you miss daniels. thank you. >> i see no other speakers, and let's close public comment. and supervisor yee? >> i just wanted to thank all of the speakers including the ones that were listed and the ones that from the public. and after hearing everybody's testimonies, i will be
12:01 pm
supporting the recommendations, i am particularly want to be supportive at the fiscal level of making sure that there is a budget process to include that position. certainly, would be supportive of deactivating the advisor group and in particular, i think that it was supervisor chiu's comment of one of the biggest reasons why i would like the supervisor to be put together again is to gather, or to come up with ideas in which we could as a city, legally, gather better data around people with disabilities and aging. and who is employed and who is not employed and that is where i would be standing, and once again, thank you, thank you for the public, for coming today. and thank you supervisor mar for hosting this hearing. >> thank you, supervisor yee. and i also wanted to acknowledge, i have learned a
12:02 pm
lot, i think that the stories that people have told have just shed tremendous light on the challenges and the ongoing discrimination and how much more the city needs to do to insure equality and diversity as is written into our charter. and i think that we have heard a lot of good suggestions for follow up, with alameda county and seattle and some other examples. and i wanted to say, in moving forward, i am going to do my best to convene the stake holder groups, johnson and the department of public resources folks and especially the community based center such a tremendous resource for our city and we need to be working together to achieve the vision that i think that came out of the movement of the 80s that established not only rule 34, and 115 and many other civil rights changes that we still have a long way to go to
12:03 pm
achieve. and so, with that, a lot of great suggestions and i will be convening those meetings and hopefully coming forward with other suggestion and looking carefully at the 2008 recommendations from the task force and also with miss simon and others, reestablishing a current task force that can address many of the challenges that we have all pointed out today. but tremendous, tremendous, comments from people, that i am just very, very happy for this is the first step to achieving better equality and dignity as carla johnson said for valuable san franciscans who are people with disabilities and everybody else as well. and so with that, mr. evans, can we let's see this is the hearing and could we table this hearing without objection? could we table this hearing? >> and is there any other business before us mr. evans >> there is no more business, thank you everyone for coming up. meeting adjourned.
