who is coming next has. he has been pastoring for a long time. he has dealt with people from the mother, the perpetrator, the victim from a perspective that nobody else has. there is no faith based representation on that list and not only that, which is unique of itself, there is inadequate community representation. that's been said and i want to echo that as well. even though i appreciate the clinician s and the psychologists there needs to be faces of people doing the work on the ground. our children are going back and forth to school afraid of to get to school and afraid in school they won't get home. our young people -- especially from where i am the church is between

sunnydale and the towers they're afraid to come from the tower side up to the church which is right in the middle because they don't want the violence so they're missing out and the people are sitting at home that won't go outside the doors so i urge the task force but let's have greater representation. thank you most of you know me i am pastor walker. [inaudible] i want to commend the supervisors. i want to commend the mayor's office for looking at the structure to begin a dialogue and a discussion but i agree 100% that that there need to be some community representations on the committee. i did see in the report something about faith based was(paused)thank you very

much. >> good afternoon supervisors and panel. i am the executive director of inner city youth and we received funding from dcyf and located in the omi. i got a call from my board -- one of the directors on my board to see what today's meeting was about. i am an executive director but i

am also a property owner in district 10 and my home is located on third and pa lou so everything that everybody is talking about i live right there. in june of 2013 i lost my brother to gun violence on harbor road also in district 10. i'm not too clear on everything the task force will be responsible or is charged to do. i do request that this task force is one that is action oriented. i feel like my brother's murder could have been prevented. there needs better coordination of everyone and it's also everyone's responsibility. until i lost my brother to gun violence i didn't understand the impact of the work that i did. excuse me. i

really haven't come back to the public eye since then. i have been very discouragedand the work in district 10 and district 5 has a profound impact on the other districts. i'm asking that this task force is very effective because it's one thing to sit on this side and it's another to be on the other side. thank you.

>> good afternoon and happy new year. i am jo jackson and president of the african-american dem club and some other offices and i'm a district 10 resident and homeowner. i won't preach to the choir. you're away of the violence and we're too great a city to have this continue. i think the task force is a great idea. i fully support it. i even offer myself to participate. the thing that we need to do though is address causes not just reactions. if we could culturally make people -- society competent, proficient and sensitive of the wonderful diversity that we have all human lives matter and until we take up the root that there are predatory practices that are

encouraging a nilation of generations and certain groups of people economic and race or ethnicity we need to address that so i fully support the task force. i think it's a great idea. definitely i would like to participate and please include cultural competency. it's vital that the police are trained that we ourselves are trained to know that me as a black woman that i have value. it's very hard when you're being taught everyday from the moment i was born that i am different or that i am put upon or i'm not as good or don't try or don't -- we have no expectations so these things are the root that really need to be addressed and i hope you take that into consideration.

>> and you have inclusion of the community rather than the exclusion of the community. >> thank you. any other public comments on this item?

seeing none. public comment is now closed. [gavel] supervisor cohen. >> thank you very much. there's a couple of points they want to reiterate that seven of the 13 seats are to be occupied by members of the community. seven. that's more than a majority on the board on this task force. the task force isn't attempting to reinvent the wheel but built upon the efforts to do better coordination of the previous and existing efforts that the city is going through. this -- to echo what supervisor campos mentioned earlier he said he was looking for something different. we're not looking to be duplicative and listening to the public comments the seats that are open, the seven that i mentioned, it's for -- i can go through the list again. it's for a resident, a current or

former resident of public housing -- excuse me, property owned by the housing authority. seat two is a member of a community based organization and includes the faith base communities. seat three shall be held by a clinician and can be a member of the community. seat four is by a parent who has been affected by gun violence and next seat by someone engaged in gun violence and seat six is a acthemmic and seven is a nurse or a person who works with victims or perpetrators of gun violence. again that could be a person in the community, and seat eight shall be held by an employee of the district attorney's office, public health seat nine, seat 10 human service agency. 11 is by a member of the police department. seat 12

is a member of the adult probation and 13 is a member of the san francisco unified school district. also seat -- the public health seat is important that person have a background in specifically in mental health. i think there are key components important for the task force. one is look from a step back and take a look at where we're spending our money and how we're spending the money and develop metrics for the programs. something i also want to inform the public on that on this analysis that was conducted it was conducted with the contribution from 11 city departments which contributes the entire universe of this report. adult probation, the city administrator's office, children youth and their families, the district attorney, human services, mayor's office

on violence prevention services, the police, public defender and public health and the sheriff and the commission on the status of women. the commission on the status of women receives a large share of money but their mission is focused and speaks specifically to domestic violence. . >> >> i think in closing the purpose of this task force is just to bring a better coordination of our city effort scption i think one thing that we heard universally there is little to nor coordination happening and there is a lot of money being spent. mr. chair that's all i have. thank you very much. >> well let me say that i want to join my colleagues and

thanking you for bringing this resolution to us and giving us an opportunity to support it. it's maybe about time, so supervisor campos. >> again i want to thank supervisor cohen, all of the members of the community that spoken to the mayor's office for their presentation, and clearly we have a lot of work to do and i think this is an important step and i appreciate the fact that it is grounded in community and that it will be driven by community so with that i make a motion to move this forward. >> [inaudible] >> so we make a motion to accept the amendments presented by supervisor cohen. >> okay. with no objection then the amendments are accepted. >> now i make a motion to move this item forward with a positive recommendation. >> without objection the motion is passed. [gavel] i want to thank the public once

again for being here and showing all your passion to make sure that we continue to improve the situation for san francisco. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> madam clerk can we have item five. >> item five is an ordinance is establishing a children, youth and their families oversight and advisory committee and working group. >> okay. we're going to continue the discussion and at this point we have staff member from supervisor avalos' office, beth rubenson to make a presentation of the legislation. excuse me. excuse me. we're still continuing with the meeting. if you need to i have

a discussion please do that in the hallway. >> hi supervisors. thank you so much. we're really excited to bring this ordinance to the committee on the oversight and advisory committee for the department of children youth and families. this ordinance is the trailing legislation for the charter amendment prop c passed in november with over 70% support from our city voters so we're excited about it. the ordinance speaks to the

service providers working group which is also a way to codify how we bring the expertise and experience of our service providers in the city to the department so we're excited about this ordinance. it's the work of many, many people. i want to thank lots of people. i want to thank the mayor's office and maria sue, the director of the commission and others that gave us advice, our city, children committee and finally the childrens' fund community coalition that worked for two years with hundreds of community members, parents, children, service providers to develop recommendations for the board of supervisors. and finally i actually want to thank my supervisor jenn in supervisor yee office. i think that's -- and also tom owen the city attorney who has helped a lot

of this language. >> okay. i want to thank beth ruben stein for working on this. i know you worked real hard and my own staff on this piece of legislation. as bev mentioned this past election in san francisco passed prop c with 74% of the voters saying yes this is very important to us. i believe this confirms our city's commitment to ensuring that youth and their families are given the best opportunities and we often hear that the number of families are in decline but we need to figure out how to off set this and one of the biggest factor would be of course see what we can do to help children and families. the renewable of the children and youth fund and the enrichment fund are steps in

the right direction and the department of children and youth and their families they play a critical role ensuring that every child and every corner of the city is provided support and resources and encouragement so we can succeed. we don't take this mission lightly, so we will find that it's important to have public input and transparency in the needs assessment as well as the budget allocation through this fund. after two years of town halls and meetings and discussions with staff and advocates and stakeholders and community groups i think we struck a great balance in community groups, advocates and staff and stakeholders and community groups. i think we will have very strong oversight and advisory committee as a result of the discussions that we have had and i want to thank

again supervisor avalos and beth and his office who put this draft together and in the coming months we will be discussing beyond this and as we promised from all discussion about prop c that there would be three trailing legislation. we passed the first one which is the one for the office of early childhood care and education. this is a second piece we're looking at and we look forward to passing this one, and real soon following we're going to start talking about our children and our families council, the legislation that will create that so this is going to be several amendments we would like to have with this piece of legislation, but before we do that and i will talk about it

as long as supervisor tang. she has one amendment. i will talk about it after public comments if there are public comments on this item so at this point are there any public comments? come on up. just line up on this side of the room. >> hello supervisors. my name is chelsea from children advocates and children and youth and it's exciting to be here. it seems like we spent two and a half years, the last two and a half years really to reiterate what supervisor yee just said really kind of working together and sometimes struggling together to create the strongest possible legislation and we got prop c passed by 74% of the voters in san francisco and we now kind of -- this the second of the three steps and trailing

legislation, and this really was a collaborative process, and both of what the charter amendment that was prop c as well as the trailing legislation there's been a lot of thought and effort put into making sure there is the strongest possible legislation in terms of the oversight committee that will ensure transparency and accountability and oversight and support to make sure that the funds that dcyf is spending go to the quality programs and oversight and evaluation and all that, so we are really, really excited. i want to thank supervisor yee and supervisor avalos and their offices for making this happen. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> hi. i am sandy blackman and the executive director of childrens' council and the 2015 chair of cpac and a member of

advisory council and from the childrens' coalition from the inception. i want like to thank supervisor yee and supervisor avalos and offices for their leadership in the prop c putting prop c reauthorization effort and putting together the trailing legislation as well as my colleagues on the childrens' fund community coalition for many years of deliberate and thoughtful conversation. so i am here representing the views of the early childhood and care community and i want to say that we're very pleased that the trailing legislation that creates the oversight and advisory committee calls for the inclusion with one person in expertise of young children and seat four and a parent which is seat nine. we hope that the other seats will filled with expertise from these people. i

know we create the office of early care and education but the -- [inaudible] for early care and education but it's important that people that understand the needs of young children be the oversight and advisory committee. and anyway it's very important that people with that background are there as the needs assessment planning and service allocation strategies for the childrens' funds is being considered and thank you and i just want to ask that as we go forward. >> thank you. >> good afternoon supervisors. i'm the coordinator of the child planning council cpac. i don't

have much to add but happy new year and i wanted to thank each of you and your staff for not only this trailing legislation but for the tremendous amount of work that went into all of prop c and for involving community every step of the way. i am here to speak in support of the oversight and advisory committee and the composition of its membership. as proposed there are two seats that represent the 0-5 community with other seats that potentially represent this community. as of the last census 38% of san francisco childrens' 0-5 and imperative with the increase in this fund and the city's commitment to supporting a more family friendly city that the allocation is really carefully examined in order to serve our city's families. again i thank you for your work and supporting the legislation as it goes through the process and

supporting the work of the oversight and advisory committee. thank you so much. >> hello good afternoon prefer supervisors. i am a member of the community coalition and i wanted to start off by thanking all for your work. >> in building up to prop c and all the way through with the trailing legislation. similar to how the community and young people are engaged in the process leading up to the legislation we want to make sure that that continues all the way through and is something that carries over and is sustainable in something which this oversight committee is aimed to accomplish. in particular i am pleaded with the involvement of the youth commission and the

advisory board played a role in this and others played a role in this and will have the representation of young people as well and i want to thank you you for that and that we prioritize and as the previous item with the task force we want to make sure that policy making and that the people with experiences are at the table and at the center of the conversations which the composition of this oversight committee does so thank you for all of your work and we look forward to work with you through the coalition and young people. thank you. >> thank you. >> i am molly brown and from huckleberry programs and this is good it follows the preceding conversation because it's about making san francisco a better

place for families and children and keeping them safe and this legislation is trying to do that really making providing support in schools, support in communities, trying to provide a lot more accountability and i think as you can see the painstaking detail of the legislation who should be on this oversight committee is really trying to speak to that to make sure that you have the right people advising both the allocation process and the planning process, so i want to thank you supervisor yee for your diligence in keeping this going and for letting jenn spend so much time on this and supervisor avalos in his absence and beth's time. i know it was a challenge to a piece so many people and i want to thank maria and her staff for doing a really stellar job of trying to help the different cbos work together and i think the challenge for

you supervisors is really to have the city departments do the same thing and i am hoping that the larger committee can do that because i think that is one of the stumbling blocks that we face and not having enough cooperation with the city departments and the cbos and making things better here in san francisco. >> thank you. i had no choice about letting jenn work on this. [laughter] she's everything -- my time. maria, executive director of dcyf, did you have any comments you wanted to make? >> good afternoon supervisors. i am director of the department. i just want to say first of all happy new year but i want to echo all of the sentiments and acknowledgments and thanks that everyone has said already. i

do also want to emphasize that just how hard jenn and beth worked on this particular ordinance and then jenn on just the charter with the other supervisors. i think she's done a phenomenal job and she's been very easy to work with so i really appreciate that. in terms of just making sure that we have an ordinance that is reflective of the community and making sure that the council will be able to support dcyf and the way that we administer and reach our constituents in a more transparent and accountable way i welcome that so thank you for that. i look forward to working with my new oversight and advisory council. i assume that it's going to be lively conversations as with all of our conversations that we have within dcyf there is always a

balance of fierce conversations but it's all coming from a place of dedication and passion for children so i look forward to working with the new councilmembers so thank you. >> thank you. so not only this piece of legislation but others it's been a real good example of how the community and the departments, the city family can work together and come up with a great product. in fact we thought we had a pretty great product when we put it together to put on agenda but the discussion continued and so until 330 or so there was discussion between community and the department, and so this is
