language was to allow for more public balanced appointment approach. however, if we strike this i think we'll be fine. so those are some of the highlights of the amendments and most of it really is about clarification and again to strengthen the notion of what this council should be made of and do. so any questions about that? >> supervisor tang. >> i think you clarified some of the questions i did have, but i think overall the changes you are making are good, especially when sometimes you have core issues it's good to cut down the number of members. although people want to participate i think it can be good to do that. i think your change on page 9, part c in terms of 30 days i think you probably want to move

more quickly on appointments so they can begin to do this work as part of the council. so overall i do feel i am comfortable with these changes. >> thank you. >> i'm fine with the amendments too. if there are no other comments from the committee we can go on to public comment. any member of the public who would like to come forward, please approach the podium. and if you are lining up, please line up behind the gentleman with the hat by the wall. >> hi supervisors, (inaudible) i'm also representing the children's funding community coalition. we've been really active in the development of this trailing legislation. i really want to thank supervisor yee and jen lo to the proposition of having

more seats as part of the public seats of the council. we're disappointed that it came at the expense of some other community seats. we understand there are a limited number of seats. we felt it was really important for there to be a robust youth voice on this council. we're really excited for this body to get started. better coordination among agencies is something that came up repeatedly in our stake holder meetings in the lead up to prop c, so we're really excited that parents, youth, and public officials get to sit at the table in an interagency and cross systems way so we're optimistic that that can happen and look forward to the council getting off the ground. >> very good, thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors, (inaudible) mejia with transitional youth san francisco here to speak today on behalf of the children's fund community coalition. again, thank you, supervisor

and your staff and everyone else who has been a part of this process for being inclusive and open to feedback and recommendations along the way. i have to also echo the last comment of appreciating the inclusion of young people from the perspective of tsf, this is something of value we hold closely is to be inclusive of young people with lived experiences and the issues we are working to address as a city. so that's going to be key moving forward. just a couple of last pieces of feedback from the coalition. we just want to emphasize, we appreciate that the mayor and the superintendent are going to be chairing this and we want to emphasize we want to have their continued leadership in championing the efforts to make sure there is follow through from various departments in terms of the goals that are going to be set forth in order to really make sure these things happen. the other is just, you know,

being clear about the outcomes and the benchmarks and the goals of what this council is set forth doing and especially when it comes to setting clear measurement for how we're going to be able to track success and that we actually had progress, you know, come out of this effort. and the last, i know this is just a little thing, but in the language it's just, you know, emphasizes children and families and we would like to, you know, be clear that it also is inclusive of youth and if that could be something that's clear in the language as well. but other than that, thank you very much, we are excited and look forward to staying engaged and making sure that this is a meaningful effort and a meaningful time spent. so thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> hi, good afternoon, supervisors, my name is erica

maybaum and i am the coordinator of the california child care advisory council, cccac i want to thank you for your commitment to having an open community process for the development of this legislation. i attended at least three meetings, i think there was a couple i was unable to attend and in between those meetings supervisor avalos' office was always open to receiving email and other communication from ccac we support this council and look forward to being a resource available to the council, its members and the work of the council. and i do want to also note and appreciate some of the last amendments that were made that include the use of data in informing the decisions and the service coordination. thank you. >> thank you very much. next

speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors, it's good to see all of you here and i want to echo erica maybaum's words -- (inaudible) killday speaking on behalf of providers, early childhood education providers throughout the city. erica just spoke to some of the hard work you have put into it, supervisor yee, jen lo, avalos, and i wanted to address that. but i wanted to speak to the spirit and intention of this city and speak to early childhood community's hope for breaking down those silos that so often get in the way of common interest that is we all have for family, youth and early childhood education and look forward to this committee being a place where departments and the unified school district and the early childhood family

and youth community can really move forward with bringing early childhood and development into the community. i want to say thank you for this. >> great, thank you very much. >> good afternoon, supervisors, my name is rosa chen, i am a youth commissioner. i want to thank you for the decision to include youth voice in the our children, our family council. we are especially excited to see you include our recommendation to include one youth commissioner, one student advisory committee member and one youth seat. my colleagues and i, we have worked a lot of, very hard and we have a lot of training on how the city and the school district really sets their budget. i am confident and grateful for everything that we have done and at the

same time i want to say that i'm confident that the youth commissioner and the student advisory committee member will definitely make an impact on the decisions and the insightful comments they will have on making impact on the children who are living in our district and our city. and i also want to give a recommendation that maybe we can have tsf to kind of help in selecting the tuc, since they really worked very hard with a lot of youth who are t youth. i want to say thank you for considering and adding in youth seats to make sure that youth voice is really heard in our city. i want to thank supervisor yee for really continuing to include the youth commission and other stake holders and including the youth in the council. so thank you very much.

>> thank you. >> thank you, i just wanted to say -- hydra mendosa, mayor's advisor who has been working with supervisor yee and jen lo and supervisor avalos. this is really an ideal council because these are the two entities that work informally side by side and this is our opportunity to bring them together. i wanted to take this opportunity to thank supervisor yee and supervisor avalos for the leadership role you took in helping pass prop c which gives us the opportunity to create this our children, our families council. the mayor is excited about institutional liezing the relationship we already have with sfusd in doing what's right for our youngest members and their families. the council will enable us to

have a structure we have never had, including bringing together the department heads whose work deeply impacts children and their families but have not been at the table necessarily including the city administrator, housing, mta, planning. these are not normally the departments you would see in our discussions when it relates to our families but have deep impacts how we get our families around, the housing availability for them and many of the deep infrastructures provided by our city. we are deeply grateful for this chance to create a policy agenda for our young people and we look forward to a collaborative council now and for many many years to come. thank you all for your deep, committed and dedicated work to this council and particularly to you, supervisor yee, and to your aid, jen lo. >> thank you, commissioner

mendoza-mcdonnell. if there are no other member s of the public who are here we can close public comment and we have this item live before us. i believe we have some amendments to accept. do you want to have any other closing comments? >> no, again, i want to thank the public for coming out and supporting this notion of a council and the amendments that we put forth. to me it's one of the most important things i could do as a member of the board of supervisors to form, help mold and form this council and see us as a city, you know, working to the to address the issues that we need to address to, you know, make the lives of all our children and our families a better place for them to live and to grow and to be successful and we want everybody to be successful, not just a few. thank you very much for supporting. >> thank you, supervisor yee, for all your work on this

measure. supervisor tang. >> thank you, i'm really excited to see the outcome of this council and i'm happy to make a motion then to accept all the amendments that supervisor yee delineated earlier on, which we have a copy here, and then if there's no objection afterwards then move forward with a positive recommendation to the full board. >> great, and that motion is seconded by supervisor cohen and we'll take that without objection. madam clerk, do we have any other items before us? >> that concludes our business for today. >> before we adjourn i'd like to thank sfgtv staff for their work broadcasting, jessie larson and herb paretti thank you.

>> we feel reflects a second systemic attitude and practice on the part of too many who claim to be law enforcement agents to keep the peace i beg you tonight i implore you don't limit us to two minutes give us the 3 minutes that afforded at the board of supervisors we have some serious things to share with this commission tonight and president of the san francisco naacp the pastor of the by that point church for thirty years i hope he'll we'll notice reduce the e impressions as some erroneously elected to

because of retaliation if they testify pubically we take the same risk regardless of the color of our skin is it fair that minority should be treated this way there's not been a schedule of this magnitude with the san francisco police department after the loss of which involved the creative in - which was sheltered in 79 it comes down to two things it's african-american officers and it's about our heritage and about our gender preferences despite the long history and contribution of african-american officers to the san francisco police department text messages by some of the members with disparking garage words referring to us as silver back comburldz and monkeys regardless

of the contributions to the police department it is all about race and gender i feel personally lbe traded by my loyalty and service not respected it is difficult to process this members of the sfpd has consistently lead the nation to building that the law enforcement agency is progressive and that the members appreciate differences and value diversities based on the text messages it is an abandoned concern i pgs the officers involved in the scandal. >> i'm sorry. >> i'm going to leave you with the remaining comments that you o fj wants to leave you with i of time you to help us eradicate this bigotry within the

department (clapping.) thank you. >> next speaker welcome. >> good evening. i'm felicia i represented the 1021 as the chairman of wealth and dispartsd within the black community i want to address around the horrific text messages imposed in san francisco even though it's a black woman we've known about the racism and discretion now since we have black and white i guess it is time to deal with the old you know issue that no one really n in san francisco wants to deal with not only do we see you not want to deal with with it one of the things that bothers me in the community is after everything hates been said

or done i'd like to know why didn't anyone come to the community. are we not worth having a community quorum to talk about it and have a dialog we're not worthy and so we do have a right to the city i want to say today right now that black lives matter even though we've been fighting for years and years over 50 years in san francisco alone for justice and equality it appears we have some liberties but definitely do not have equality and that's what we're standing together for we want justice and a equality for the black community i'm still think that you guys have the right and that you should be determined to come to the black community and every time we have to say something and stand up for our rights we have to come to you, you never come to the black community never where we

are to even apologize for the horrific things going on in san francisco i'm shamed i'm shamed of the police department and shamed of this commission not coming to the black community to apologize personally >> thank you, ms. jones (clapping.) >> next speaker. >> hello, everyone i'd like to use the overhead i'm paulette brown i'm here again southerner any brown that was murdered august 15, 2006 to a semiautomatic cabin put their gun into my son to this day i have no justice no enclosure and the case is a cold case i bring this with me because it says in the chronicle that the
