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

a solemn sacred and sad moment when deacons of officers of 3rd baptist church recessed out of the sanctuary 2 of your officers came to our fellowship called hall after they had told one of my deacons -- and here's her tonight forgot begin fred thomas he can stand up there in the back -- and said, we got a complaint. that you are drummers are making too much

noise. it has come to the point in this town that certain people can have their chinese new year and there's no pejorative statement against the chinese they drums, firecrackers, and noise everywhere. when the -- have their event the inconvenience us in our sacred worship. when you have the gay pride parades, the same is done. when we have fleet week airplanes are flying all over the place keeping out noise but at 215 p.m. when people are in a state of sadness and bereavement, 2 of your insensitive officers have the unmitigated gall to come and tell us a cup hush.

shut up. your keep it up too much noise because the neighbors are complaining. your officers have the judgment of a cat to ignore whatever any neighbor said and came and salted this black faith community. we need -- that's why chief -- not tomorrow -- we need like yesterday that the police sensitive sensitivity training that you are dragging their feet on right now and we are sick and tired of being sick and tired of your acting like we don't have a serious problem in this town. thank you. >> presidentthank you. your time is up.

>> testifier: my name is rené davis and i'm here to speak aboutthe most unfortunate cops and robert chase that happened last friday night. there've been a series of these and every time i hear that i am horrified. i am angry. they make no sense to me that people walking on the street buck up driving in a car stuck up are likely to be victimized by out-of-control pursuit and out-of-control pursuers. the people being pursued. it became personal last friday when my daughter was in one of the cars that was involved in an accident. so, i determined to come here tonight to ask, to plead, that you seriously consider changing the chase policy. after the 1st woman was

struck and then later died, that should have been enough. for the officers to exercise some common sense and say we can't catch these people without endangering everybody else melt we encounter on the roads. i really am not familiar with what the policy is, but if that does it they were following policy to policy needs to be change in my opinion. if they were not following policy, then i really believe that they need to be disciplined. and i'm not in favor of discipline. i prefer to exercise other ways of teaching people things sentence them to community service it needs a, but please stop the idiocy of car chases like that. thank you. >> president: thank you ms. davis. next speaker. >> testifier: hello. but tom sullivan i been here many times before. a huge crowd is not a

good sign for. that's a sign that the public is not happy satisfied with your performance in your job. it may even be a sign of worse things that it could be a sign of social unrest. you're not doing your job did you not holding police accountable. not exercising transparency in your positions that's where the people are so outraged as your behavior. okay. i came here for a half years ago with 4 things on my agenda. i added one thing sense. where the heck are the bad scans? even -- was a criminal as bad scans on his people. i hear the airport has them. what is still taken so long? what do you have to hide as what would your officers had to hide speaking of hiding little is all the officers then sent to the pokey recently. the 3 down to -- the other 18, a them were on a mission 2nd i came one was

mission station corruption to, patrol special conducted 3 was all 3 have pretty much been resolved the 4th was corruption. i can did you articles last week and i handed you articles a month ago. 2 articles about -- attorney general who's been held -- let's put it this way -- the federal courts it in no uncertain terms or corrupt prosecution of people using false evidence and contrived by criminal prosecutors is not going to be acceptable and input so there are 4 ways to control police corruption. one way is through the eda. he's not doing his job. one way through the atty. gen. she's not doing objective another way is to the occ. they're not doing their job. report ways for you all. and apparently judging by the crowd they keep showing up every week but you're not doing your job properly either. please do it. thank you. >> president: thank you mr. fella. next speaker, please.

welcome. >> testifier: david elliott lewis. good evening. i think i actually think you have a difficult job and i think you're doing the best in a difficult situation. i think as a pd has a difficult job. they're doing the best they can get that doesn't mean every officer is assuming that a lot of other cities i think we have a lot of great officers in the city. but i'm here to talk about my remaining minute and a half his crisis intervention. namely the upcoming award ceremony. on may 12 and i want to thank -- keeps her for making a donation to our think some of the commissioners for supporting it. i think it's a really important event. for some ever we've ever done anything like this. recognizing police officers done outstanding work in handling a mental health crisis issue with de-escalation not with force.

this is the kind of behavior we want to reward and recognize and shine a bright light to the community and show that there is alternatives to the use of force. when dealing with mental health crises. i think this award ceremony the 1st time ever, which i'm helping to organize to the oversight committee, that i participate in and speaking at the event as well is one of the speakers, i'm just grateful for it. i'm grateful for your support and grateful for the cheap support of a period that's all i wanted to say that. thank you so much. >> president: thank you mr. elliott lewis. next speaker, please. >> testifier: my name is cw johnson did, person lived in the tenderloin committee for 30 years off and on. also a community organizer. the -- have worked with you guys on redistricting and we know there's a necessary evil. so one of the things that we think we both work together and that's what we've done. so what we really hope that you listen

to us and that you will -- thank you and have a good evening >> president: thank you so much mr. johnson. next speaker, please. good evening welcome. >> testifier: my name is kevin saul. i'm actually here with the rest of the central city collaborative in support of the redistricting lines, actually here to talk about the high-speed chase over the weekend that killed the poor defenseless woman who should not have been killed at all. there's too much people driving in the city that don't even care about the human life and about anything those people are just trying to exist in the city without having to worry about their lives. if it can be cut short. just today tomorrow or whenever. i hope that these people who committed this crime will be caught and prosecuted to the full fullest extent of the law. i hope the other victim, was not killed by this

in is in the hospital. gets better real soon because nobody deserves to be a victim of this senseless be the heck you were crimes in the city. so i just want to thank you for doing the best you can to bring these dangerous drivers to justice. so thank you. as would: thank you mr. starr. next are, please. welcome by. >> testifier: personal i want to thank the community for getting involved. it's up to us. we are the voters did we speak up and people listen. now let's got down to my -- [inaudible] everyone has bite. yes we do i i hate spinach. let's talk about the bus that tenderloin. 34 people arrested for selling
