i would like to take a moment it's been great to have the opportunity to speak if front of you so many times lately. it shows the commitment of san francisco's voters and legislators and strengthening and creating improved cities to support our children and families. it's inspiring to be here for people who are dedicated to early education in the city. today i'm here to talk on behalf of sandee blechman, [inaudible] the person must have a citywide perspective and understanding of the diversity of needs of early care and education in san francisco and has demonstrated leadership and experience in policy and planning. nominations were accepted, a

ballot created and sandee blechman was chosen, as a current chair of cpac and last year as a chair of our public policy committee, i am confident that she will represent cpac and be an asset to the committee. i wanted to note that half of our members of our committee are [inaudible] information shader will reach beyond cpac to our community at large. as i take minutes, these are shared with our lists that are sent out to over 500 people in our community. i thank you for your leadership and the community process in developing the office of early care and education citizen advisory committee and you appointing sandee blechman for

seat number 9. >> thank you, right on the bell. >> my name is lynn maris, i'm standing as director of the [inaudible] i wanted to strongly support fonda davidson to be on this committee, fonda has worked with me for the last 8 years but she has been a leader in early childhood education for 30 plus years. it is not an accident that fonda dividers and cross cultural family centers have taken on some of the centers in the city who have been in crisis and the city and the state department of education have called on fonda to serve this city and the title five families who go to those centers. she is one of the best leaders

in this city in early childhood education. it's been an honor to have [inaudible] as part of the model centers and we will continue to support her in all the work she does in all of the neighborhoods in this city. >> thank you. >> thank you very much, are there any other members of the public who would like to comment? no? anyone else who wants to come up, come up here by the wall too. thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisor tang and chair avalos, i'm barbara [inaudible] director of the [inaudible] education, i want to thank you for all your time and effort in working to appoint our committee and thank all of those who have applied. we couldn't have been happier with the pool of applicants, we look forward to the work. >> thank you, ms. carlson and i appreciate your work and coming here in san francisco to run the office, so with that, we will close public comment and

now we have the very hard part of going through our pool of applicants, for the mayor side, it's pretty easy, very qualified applicants and one person per seat, but for the appointments from the board of supervise source side, we have more of a challenge. before we start our discussion, i do want to mention some of the work of my office over the years with many people in the room to work with the mayor's office and kind of put it on the table to create the office of early care and education. it was about maybe 2010 or 2011 that we were meeting with some folks who are in this room, candace wong and erica bay baum who was working in my office at this time, september jarrett was part of the meetings, we

laid the ground work on how it would be light and put some decision making, and we had to hold meetings at the board of supervisor and is the budget meetings and it created this office where we can have the kind of coordination this city needs when we have so many different funding streams and so many different types of early childhood education settings so we can have a focal point of that. it was last year or two years a we started the office with barbara carlson who's here who just spoke, this meeting is coming full sickle that we were going to create this advisory circle of members who will be providing this kind of input on how we can have the finest network and coordination of early child care education services ins the kuntd ri that's going to happen in san francisco based on your work, so congratulations in getting us this far, now' eel go

through the difficult decision of who's going to serve on the advisory committee. supervisor tang? >> thank you all so much to all the applicant, combined and collectively, you bring so much experience to the table, it's just amazing and even if you're not appointed to this committee, you will continue to do everything you can in your very fields and jobs to provide for our community, so with that said, i agree with supervisor avalos, you know, no issues with the mayoral appointees for item 8, i think those were fine and wonderful. item 7, i know that we have seat 6, 7, 8 and 9 up and we had several people who withdrew their applications as well, made it slightly ease ye, i'll start with seat 9, sandee

blechman, i'll make a motion to put her in seat 9. over the years, i work witched candace wong, i could not speak more highly of an individual wall who dedicated her life to this work, so candace wong to seat 8, seats 7 and 6 are a little more difficult, i would say that again, i would be thrilled to the have any of these applicants take over seat 6 and 7, i would say that for seat 6, i am very compelled to appoint ms. kim garcia-meza to that seat, especially given my background, immigrant parent ts, chinese was my first language, providing for that cultural -- or bilingual opportunity for the young students, i think, is really

important tosh able to preserve that cultural heritage but allow them to assimilate into a new country, i appreciate that focus and i would be happy to see kim garcia-meza in seat 6 and in terms of seat 7, i'm really torn, i like both kathie herrera-autumn and fonda david son, they bring different experiences but both are good to this committee, so supervisor avalos? >> well, thank you, and you actually with the seat 7 was the one that was most difficult for me and i do appreciate the work and the experience of both patricia sullivan and kim garcia-meza and because of her background in bilingual education, i thought that was going to be a useful, important

aspect to have on the committee, on the advisory committee, and i'm familiar with her work as well, so but personally, so i was going to be supporting kim garcia-meza and it's tough because i felt ms. sullivan would be great on the committee as well, and then i was -- based on the work i did with candace wong to create the office of early childhood education, she was part of the planning effort, so i thought i would want to support her for seat 8, sandee blechman for seat 9 and seat 7 is the difficult part, and yes, ms. herrera-autumn has like wonderful experience within the child care setting and to be able to apply to a place where you work directly with students, you work directly

with teachers, you work with the families and you also have an understanding of the setting and all the requirements that are in the field as well and that is an incredible per specie to have on the body, and then ms. davidson has an amount of experience as well, it would almost be a coin toss, and my hunch would be to focus on center based care that kathie herrera-autumn experienced, that came loud and clear with someone that would be a strong asset to the advisory committee, so i propose that we support her for the seat. >> alright, i'll publicly say, i'm fine with that. >> so, if we -- our motion, if that's okay, to kim garcia-meza for seat number 6, kathie

herrera-autumn for seat number 7, candace wong for seat number 8, sandee blechman for seat number 9 and as proposed by the mayor, seats 1-5 to support those -- a motion to approve those. >> motion to approve. >> to amend and to approve those recommendations from the mayor as well as a motion to approve the ones i just mentioned -- >> coming out of this committee report. >> and coming out as a committee report. >> i second that. >> and we can take that without objection, thank you. madam clerk, do we have any other items before us? >> that concludes our business for the day. >> okay, we are adjourned. thank you for your support. (meeting is adjourned).

you would believe that's hand kofsh carved out of wood and it is a cast plaster sealing and the only spanish design in an arts building. there are no records about how many people worked on this building. the workman who worked on this building did not all speak the same language. and what happened was the person working next to the other person respected a skill a skill that was so wonderful that we have this masterpiece to show the world today. >> good morning everyone. welcome to san francisco budgeal supervisor, budget and

>> good afternoon everybody. welcome to the san francisco board of supervisors budget and finance committee meeting for wednesday april 22, 2015. i am mark farrell and i will chair this committee and joined by supervisor tang and eric mar and norman yee. i want to thank

the clerk of the committee linda wong as well as members of sfgtv covering this meeting. madam clerk do we have any announcements? >> yes mr. chair. please silent all cell phones and electronic devices and speaker cards and items part the file should be submitted to the clerk and items will be on the april 28 board of supervisors agenda unless otherwise stated. >> thank you madam clerk. so colleagues today we have two hearings and the first is by supervisor mar and we will ask him to do that. madam clerk can you call number one. >> item 1 is a establishing a permanent annualized non-profit cost-of-doing business increase and having the office of the controller to report. >> supervisor mar. >> thank you mr. chairman. i made a commitment to move through the first hearing as quickly as possible. i know we have a controller's report and lots of speakers from the city

so colleagues last year we passed a resolution at the board to prioritize approval of a submittal appropriation for non-profit organizations up to the amount of $3.4 million during the fiscal year 2014-15 to fund a very small cost-of-doing business alidation for companies that contract with the city and county of san francisco. we did this because from the years 2008 and 2009 to 2012 non-profits received flat funding from the city despite the huge housing and affordability crisis and the growing costs and also despite having to absorb the rising cost of health care and rent and other inflationary increases and this flat funding amounted to what i call a reduction for the hardest working and most effective organizations in the non-profit sector and i wanted to frame this as i worked as a
