to our special rules committee meeting for wednesday december 3, 2014. i am supervisor norman yee and chairing this meeting. i am joined by supervisor tang and supervisor campos. the clerk today is alyssa samara. the committee would like to acknowledge the staff of sfg tv. who record each of our meetings and make the transcripts available to the public online, so happy post thanksgiving. madam clerk are there any announcements? >> yes, please make sure to silent cell phones and electronic devices and speaker cards to be part of the file somebody committed to thed clerk and will be on the december 9

board of supervisors agenda innocence otherwise stated. >> okay. can we have item number one. >> item number one is an amendment to amend the administrative code to establish the duties of the office of early care and education and create the office of early care and education citizens' advisory committee. >> thank you. so let me speak a little bit on this item. our city established the office of early care and education to help us meet the growing needs of our city especially with the rising infant asked to her population. this office will help us align and coordinate our city's efforts to provide early care and education for ages zero -- children for ages 0-5. this includes meeting the goal of the city wide plan for early care and education and out of school time. and the legislation that just passed by voters by margin

of 74%, proposition c, within that legislation was asked for the city to establish the office of early care and education citizens' advisory committee. this ordinance we are reviewing days serves to reinforce the office of early care and education and to establish a citizens' advisory committee to help with the development of a strategic plan to improve access for our young children to high quality early care and education. with the passage of prop c in november the office of early care and education the task was developing this strategic plan by 2016. the office of ecc citizens' advisory committee will be a nine member body appointed by the mayor and

the board of supervisors that will represent a cross section of parents, early care and education providers, experts, and advocates to help advise the director and the office to help our city expand our early care education for all, and to offer expertise in the areas of policy, planning, collaboration and strategic partnership. the development of this body was a collaborative effort with the staff at the office of early care and education, the child care planning and advisory committee, and other entities such as the department of children youth and family, san francisco first five and the san francisco unified school district, so i really want to give a lot of thanks for all the people that were a part of this important discussion including supervisors avalos and kim, and

for some of you we already know it was supervisor avalos who pushed for developing this office before i got on board,. i was outside at the time trying to push so i want to give him a -- acknowledge his effort in regards to where we are today. our office also acknowledged beth rubinstin from supervisor avalos' office and sunny a grelo from kim's office and my own aid jenn who worked tirelessly to put this together and acknowledge barbara, the director of the office of early care and education. erica mabum coordinator of cpac or the child

care planning and advisory council and ken eghtd and other members of the council. i also want to acknowledge the members of the childrens funding community coalition and also the director of first five laura plumack and carla bryant from the early care and education director and jim brooks also from the san francisco unified school district as a liaison and there are many other members from the early care and education community that has provided input into this process and very important for them to have done that just because we want to make sure that the legislation we put together it will be relevant to everybody that would be involved. since the introduction of this ordinance we have made minor amendments to help strengthen the language describing the

duties of the citizens' advisory committee. there were amendments to further clarifying the role of the cac on page seven section 5.1 two four. that includes the duties of the committee and we also more recently changed some of the dates in terms of deadlines and so forth to make sure that whatever we ask for in this ordinance that we will be able to accomplish it. the other thing that was asked for amendment was the issue of whether or not the mayor's appointment should go through to board confirmation process, and originally when i had put it in there i thought it was a good idea just to bring more --

bring -- just highlight the office more, highlight the cac and so forth in a very public way, but after further discussion about this issue and also realizing that that generally speaking for cacs the mayor's appointments really doesn't go through the rules committee and after talking to people from there i said okay maybe we could forgo this process and still highlight our efforts. i think maybe it was important for me because this issue is really important for me, so i am always taking -- trying to find any opportunity to talk about this issue because i don't feel we talk about it enough in this city, so one of the amendments that is not in the package would be the elimination of -- oh, it would

be to eliminate lines seven through 11 for section four in the section that i noted and to indicate that charter section 3 .100-18 shall apply. okay. do you know what it is? do you have any questions? >> deputy city attorney, job gibner so just to clarify under this proposed amendment the board will appoint four members, and the mayor will appoint five members and the mayor's appointees can be rejected by a 2/3 vote of the board under 3.1

hundred. is that the intent the amendment? >> the intent of the amendment would be -- if we choose -- if the board chooses to have a hearing on the appointment we could have it within 30 days. >> and the board could reject the mayor's appointment by a super majority under -- that's the general default rule that applies to decision making bodies created by the charter so you could set it up either way where the board has the opportunity to reject the amendments and what that reference means or the board doesn't confirm or reject the mayor's appointment. >> my intent was not to reject the mayor's appointment necessarily but have the hearing if we think there is something questionable. >> and would the board at

that hearing have the opportunity to act on the appointment or just an informational hearing? >> it would be an informational hearing. >> okay. we can prepare that amendment and provide it to the clerk after the meeting. >> thank you very much. supervisor tang. >> thank you. so i definitely understand your intention commissioner yee. i think maybe just to mimic what is in charter section 3-100 will make it consistent so we don't have one advisory body or commission that stands out and has different requirements and although we don't intend to reject the appointees from the mayor's office we have the opportunity under this section which i have here and again i think it's best to make it consistent so we're not confused about the different requirements are. >> okay. which is basically what it says; right? okay. we

will take the language. thank you very much supervisor tang. supervisor campos. >> thank you mr. chair. i just wanted to concur with what supervisor tang said. i think that by referencing this section of the charter we basically saying we will follow the normal procedure which makes it very unlikely that an appointment is rejected. that's why there is the requirement to have a super majority instead of doing a simple six member majority, so i think that's probably the best approach, so i support that. >> okay. thank you. thank you for the clarification. let's see. i didn't have any presentations on this particular item, and i think quite a few people will be here just to come up in public comments to make their comments, so without any

other questions then i will take public comments in the order that i have which is barbara carlson. would you like to make any comments? this is a two minute general public comment. and then for laura kumack to follow and candace from cpac and sandy blackman after that and monica walters and rosy kennedy if you would follow monica. okay. go ahead. >> thank you very much for all your work commissioner yee and other members of the board of supervisors here, and others who are not present today. we look forward to working with the cac and continue doing the good work of the office so thank you. >> thank you.
