great shirts and one of the calm it people i know in a world of work that isn't so calm that clients face their own dangers sometimes staff face those dangers the people you're working with really have to make lifelike changing decision; right? for people and which think o is an neermsz responsibility for any of us in the room if this were me we would like to have guiding people to make those decisions ron also has a great tie collection he has a plant in his office it needs watering but somehow is surviving because he

spends all his time focusing on the people in front of him and the issues they shall or they are presenting other thing about ronnie know from affair every time there is oh how to say it correctly anytime we have a major change in our political realm, anytime there's a huge issue that hits the paper, anytime there's a a problem that needs solving and seems to be no way to solve it i turn to ron they think conservatively people say going to be the answer to all the problems (laughter) and it's not it's not with a lot of grace and it's topple calm at

the office he's spent once a year almost 10 years explaining why and what conservatorships are for what they can and can't do and in the meantime in society we're left with those problems we haven't figure out how to solve we think the conservators office is going to take care of it ron knows the law really good at explaining and keeping his calm through it when people are seeking and does know are seeking answers it is hard in many offices and arenas to be able to tell that story and have people understand what it really is all about so i thank you so very much i'm going

to miss you sherry republican is going do say a few words before i get to the poetryy. >> morning ron and commissioners ronnie don't normally get to speak only ann gets to speak i worked with you you were here before i got here i worked with you for 12 years and had the pleasure of hiring you for the conservators office i've hired a lot of people and never had staff who come to me as a single voice and said this is the person we want to be our leader you all out there the public conservators staff people filed into any office and said it was ron they wanted it says a lot about you as a staff and people

(laughter). >> thank you all (clapping.) >> thank you congratulations next we have director's report. >> director. >> good morning commissioner president james and commissioners i really want to highlight any budget action that is happening at the state and

local level i'm going to start with what's happening in sacramento there were somewhat i call wins in our leverage book not nearly what people like ours and others to have happen but good news i think at the top of the list both the senate and assembly have said they'll put money into the program each in the same amount to the conference meeting that is good money we've been advocating for the association of our agency the caregiver resource center has money from the assembly but not the senate it goes all of

those go to conference committee because i think there is one that won't they either the money is not in agreement or one they'll have to discuss it there is going to do be it looks like from the budget passes 5 percent in medi-cal rate it is written as a restoration it's not clear all medal providers get the 5 percent e.r. people that lost the 10 percent we're looking at the details hsa both hours restored the 7 persecutes a couple of years ago that will go forward the thing that both the senate and the assembly alleged on to extend contribution timeline for the

medi-cal case management program not no all communities in the state but ours this is a language that they were able to get there of the also a discussion in the assembly about an increase for ss p folks it explicit happen in the senate there will have to be discussion there i think that really is it on the state level again a lot of the things we were asking for dollars for didn't materialize that whole packet that assemblyman brown put together nothing came of that work and most of the programs didn't happen especially for you that have been working in the legislation committee you've been following that hopefully the budget will

continue to be healthy and next year other programs will come back into the table locally the mayor just announced his budget you remember what we do in departments in concert with the mayor's staff we work from november until sometime in may around our budget and budget requests and additionally, we brought ours to you after it comes to commission we are in decision with the mayor's office what we might do this week the mayor submitted his budget to the board of supervisors and now they will go 0 low or through that budget with a fine tooth comic and looking to see if there is anything in there can be reduce or devefrtd of something, of course the board is looking for

dollars they can reassign in the community to give you a glimpse of what the mayor submitted certainly the department of aging & adult services he submitted a request one million 3 for nutrition, of course on top the additional money and additional for the living fund $300000 for the villages we're checking own this we got two different piece of information on that but it is million dollars this year for community services or a half a million dollars and next full million dollars for the senior centers activity centers we fund and then most of the positions that we have asked inform envisioning to the department were funded as

well now again in whole budget goes to the board and we'll see if it transpires the way it is laid out there is a few more smaller amounts of money added to the mayors budget for transition for the service connectors that is moving to the - there's new funding we needed money for the coming in the transition year there was a small maim of money for the tech council and i think that is about all sherry republican did i miss replying in that list. >> good morning, sherry reign money for seniors helping seniors 55 thousand dollars in

there to clarify there are two initiatives we're doing internally so some of the position one of them to center lists the case management wealthy system for the community case management services and the other big initiative it our quality clinical within dos that will helps e help us to provide nursing and consultant tanned we're reducing the nursing with the adult workers and putting our nurses in one place those are the two things primary i guess big changes. >> so i think we have quite a number the contractors we need

to discuss i'm going to end any report are there any questions? commissioner >> at the last h i ss meeting the position for preservation or prevention of suicide that whole issue may become something that concerns the densities with disabilities they fear they'll be pushed into making decision noted appropriate for them is that something on the departments road arrest screen or the did you want but we should be panes petitioning. >> so we're watching the legislation that he know that the medical society posted it and recently they're going to

stay neutral that's an unheard of them in terms of that kind of legislation we're following it in terms of what the language says and how it was implemented but neither the ledge committee more the department have taken a position on the lfblgs and more has it at that point the california association on aging unless rick knows i don't believe that as a city there has been a position taken on that piece of legislation either. >> thank you >> okay commissioners. >> how many villages are there in the city starting with the first one in north beach. >> there's 2. >> where's the over one located. >> citywide so the north beach is my understanding next village

is based in north beach primarily and the san francisco village is citywide. >> okay. >> thank you. >> any other commissioners, thank you. >> the advisory council report. >> no, we had public comment. >> not right now. >> we'll get to the next public comment. >> good morning commissioner james and commissioners on wednesday may 20th the ssi meet we discussed several issues one of the issues it came to the forefront was bylaws committee they brought a draft of the
