time and i think up to six different applications one of which the first one in was the first one complete and the only one complete and then it was in the intervening time that because of the dispute resolution mechanism that was invoked with the contract the board of supervisors authorized the city to enter into with motivate and then dc that we arrived at the settlement agreement. the settlement agreement essentially what it says is that motivate will not object on the basis of their information of the excusivity provision in the

contract -- exclusivity provision issuing a permit for e-bikes for the others there. our signing the agreement did not preclude us from issuing our permits legally. it's just an agreement acknowledging our ability to issue this one-e-bike permit not specifying who the provider would be without compromising the exclusivity clause. that was the resolution of the dispute resolution process that was invoked i don't remember fit was invoked by motivate or ntc. throughout the process we were communicating closely with folks in the mayor's office because the whole contract came about through the mayor's office and approved by the board of supervisors. we wanted to make sure we were

keeping in line with the policy intent of the motivate contact to be the region's bike share provider recognizing the industry had significantly change from 2015 to where we were in 2017. so the time lag from the signing and the authorization of the single permit and the notification to the rest of the providers that that was our intent to finalize our deliberations whether we wanted to issue just one permit or more and we were engage the mayor office and undergoing changes of this administration and that's the lag between the settlement agreement was approved and

notified all the providers at the same time this was our intent. we did not have a requirement for e-bikes at the start but after we approved the settlement agreement we decided the best panel with you to start slowly and modestly and it was the one permit application that was complete it was e-bikes that distinguished themselves and the bikes locked to an existing bike rack and that was the basis and we notified the industry of that information all at the same time. >> director, are you saying you did notify or communicate the decision to the people analyst

-- in the queue. >> to everybody in the beginning of january. >> i actually now compared the december 11 and january 8 memoranda together. do i have permission to do that? >> yes. >> there's one line that's different and the one line is "so this is table one on page 3, summary of stationless bike share permit applications and there's a list of the six operators where they have an e-bike, yes or no and locking mechanism, yes or no and the status and the one thing that's different is for the second one line bike it indicates on december 26, 2017, advise application was received. was that substantially different

than their original application from july? in other words, did they get a memo to be competitive they need to have e-bikes? >> they made a number of changes to their application with the december 26, 2017 submittal. the data sharing they were suggesting a different way that wouldn't allow us to access the data. they were some of the lab testings related to the safety of the bicycles and insurance requirements they did not submit as well. it was revived substantially but still did not meet all requirements.

>> supervisor safai waiting patiently. >> it's been good to listen and have the settlement agreement in front of me. the real problem i have with all of this is it seems like it start started with an outcome you tried to back your way into it. this is the problem when have you an exclusive monopoly for one group and that's fine, that was negotiated 2015. but here we are very with one company with technology with removing from private spaces and since then the technology has changed rapidly and there's multiple companies doing this around the world not only in the public right of way but sidewalk. one question i have is how many of the other companies doing stationless bikes are electric? >> currently zero.

>> so they've expressed an interest. according to the says settlements were made to they'll be competitive in the 18 month period. it doesn't seem to me, who i represent, which is the public, which is the people who put us in this seat. it doesn't seem like a good deal for the public but ford go bike and maybe the msnts but not the general public trying to gain access to bicycles. what i don't understand is if you had an intended outcome and wanted to choose one group why not have everyone apply and have a certain date and choose the company on the parameters you set but what i heard from

colleagues based on information and other information provided to us you continued to adjust until you finally got to where you wanted to be. that does not seem fair to anyone, the public, other companies, other organizations, and then that gets me to my last point. supervisor peskin and i put forward a charter amendment to put forward a way to deal with things exactly like this. it seems to me this was being driven by one branch of government to appease a contract before i was even on the board and now we're faced with choosing and jump might be the right company. they might be the best one. they may be the one the public deserves to have and have access to but the process by which you got to this point does not seem defensible. i've listened for 35 minutes, the same question was asked by

all of us and all the answers should have been was no. that's what the answer should have been instead we have different explanations to get to the point where you started at the conclusion you wanted to back into is what it seems like to me. and i understand have you an exclusive agreement with one company you're trying to avoid litigation but the sidewalks are the sidewalks. maybe you need to litigate that and we need more competition and choice for the general public. we put forward a piece of legislation now interim to our charter amendment that allows or an appeal process on curb management and right-of-way. i would encourage you to not approve this and go back to a better process and allow all the companies to apply and you still may end up with the same

conclusion and that would be more defensible. >> thank you, supervisor safai. supervisor peskin. >> thank you, madam chair. one over arching question while i have you on stationless and station bike share. insofar as we're put premium on the safety. one thing that occurs to me when i see this is none of these stationless or stationed facilities come with helmets. i know we want the bicycles to be safe but no one has a brain bucket that rides them and what's the response to that? >> in general, we encourage everyone to wear a helmet but the reality is it's not required

by law. it's a recommendation for your own personal safety and there are a lot of public benefits to bicycling regardless of whether you're wearing a helmet. we have educational programs around bike sharing and there's way to get helmets for free or low-cough dorn low-cost but the benefits of the bike sharing is something we saw as the public interest. >> the scuttlebutt is jump is to be purchased by uber. do you know anything about that? >> i don't know anything about that. everybody in capital society has the right to buy anything for sale so i'm not challenging that but i am to the extent that could happen worrying one mode share interest may sabotage

another mode share interest in order to stifle other modes of transportation. so to the extent this is true or for that matter not true but could become true you may want to structure whatever permits you have whether it's for jump or any other type of stationless or of that matter, stationed facility to make sure you don't end up with what big oil, car manufacturers and tire manufacturers did what was colluded to make sure everybody would buy cars and gasoline and tires by ripping out the system. so keep that in mind. the caveat emptor.

>> thank you, supervisor cohen. >> i'm going to ask we move to public comment at this time. i have two cards but if there's any member of the public that would like to speak and hasn't filled out card and if there's anyone else that wants to speak feel free to speak after sam. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i'm sam joanin on behalf of wine bike in san mateo we serve 40 counties including washington, d.c., seattle, dallas and many communities around the bay area such as almeida, walnut creak

and south san francisco and burlingame and would like to provide a comprehensive responsible and truly dockless bike sharing program. we submitted several application for regular pedal dockless bikes and electric assist pedal bike with the hope we can immediately serve community do not have and will not have access to bike sharing in the near future. we meet the requirements the sfmta put forth including providing property insurance, testing certifications and a willingness to share data which we already do in the 40-plus communities in which we operate. we were also never notified of the electric bike requirement or preference for electric bikes even after asking multiple times. as a local company, we understand the unique environment that is san francisco and the challenges that lie ahead for dockless bike

sharing. we were commit to hiring locally and enacting a robust outreach campaign and would work with the community. our bikes and operations are changing the way people are moving around. wherein the last six months of 2017 we supported half a million users that have taken over a million trips over 40% of which started or ended at a mass transit showing they are being used to solve first and last mile transportation challenge and ready to support san francisco the same way. on behalf of line bike i urge to you reconsider the process and move forward with the permit -- >> when you're mike cuts off it means your allotment of time is up. >> three minutes, correct? >> two minutes. >> i'll be brief. >> there's a timer in front of. >> i'm matt sheehan.

i'm just an interesting citizen and fourth generation in the bay and spent time in china as a journalist and saw the rise and fall there and since returning back i've been interested in the proliferation of bike share. in china i saw dockless and shareable and they had something like ford go bike and you move it from station to station and lock it up and it was okay. i probably used it three times in a year and after six months after that you saw the explosion of dockless bike share and it was the best thing that happened to transportation in the five years i was there. it changed the way you get around on public transportation and short distances it provided the last mile resolution that made public transportation the choice rather than hailing a cab and getting stuck in beijing traffic. i've been a big fan of the dockless bike sharing and over the last year the streets have

been flooded because a lot of money has rushed into that in china. there's been clutter and blocked up some sidewalks and stuff like that. on balance it's still a great thing but i think it's a solvable problem through resolution. simply limiting the number of bikes. those three faces of docked bikes and dockless bikes and i think the middle phase is perfect. dockless bikes that open up the city in a new way and regulated in terms of number. i think the number i heard of 250 for the city of jump bikes. which is not enough. people need to be confident they can get a bike to resolve their problems. i hope the supervisors will get enough bikes on the street to make it useful without overcrowding. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> i'm from bay city bike

rentals and parkway bike rentals. i'm here representing the didn't. in 2011 we were strategically omitted in the establishment of a city-condoned bike share program. all we were promised is it was a transportation solution and we have come to the table to co-exist with the motivate program. when the city got into a contact with motivate it didn't anticipate the new sponsor would be ford and when it got in the agreement with ford it didn't anticipate the new sponsor would be uber. it's time to create real protections for small businesses. you need to be mindful of the small business industry already exist before skrauquashing themh big technology in and it didn't

want to get sigh -- sidelined with the tncs. like the laws for formula retail, you can now legislate this and find a way to control the disruption of a small business market. you can bring us all to the table, bike share and bike rental and find a way for us to co-exist fairly and preserve locally owned small businesses in the process. thank you. >> good afternoon. blazing saddles bike hen -- rental. we have been told for years that the city condoned bike-share

program was a transportation solution. we wanted to co-exist and it would not compete with small businesses and be a different product from recreation. a non-compete agreement was made between the port of san francisco and go ford bike to keep the industry from being wiped out and the jump map excludes fisherman's wharf suggesting they recognize the distinction between recreation and short-term bike share. city sponsored bike share cannot be a transportation solution if it's cannibalized by bike share and we in the bike rental industry have been meeting with motivate, supervisor peskin and his staff and the mayor's office

to ensure our small businesses will not be obliterated by the city-response city-responseed -- site-sponsored city-sponsored companies. all bike share companies need clear guidelines. we need your help to differentiate to the public the difference between transportation and recreation product. please continue helping us. thank you. >> i'm with a local bike company, san francisco bike rentals. i don't have real organized prepar prepared comments but it may

seem to those of us present i think the discussion was called because a brewing conflict between large actual billion-dollar companies such as ofo, jump, slash, uber and ford. so here we are, the small bike rental industry. i just want to re-er reiterate this agreements in place such as between the port of san francisco and protect and honor a natural distinction between the bike rental and bike share market and ford is doing its best to honor and we're meeting regularly to make sure it's honored but nonetheless they're trying to honor it and we're hopeless

introducing ourselves to this discussion how are we going to deal with uber, ford, ofo, how are we going to handle the needs of the bike share market. we think there's a natural distinction. it comes down to a long-term recreational transit option such as bike rental, two hours-plus and two hours under. those are basic principles. we hope we'll be invite head to table and confident a fair solution can be reached for everyone here. thank you. >> i'm here on behalf of broader issues of coordination of mta technical implementation team. beyond bike share i believe there's quality control and capacity.

it's my understanding plans go from the lead planner like the lean forward plans to the mpa engineering committee reviewing a review by senior staff. this could have a significant impact on quality control and be the root cause of mta missteps and examples the mta has reconfigured the area for the third time. i urge the committee to conduct a hearing on quality control with mta checks and balances issues. on the issue of capacity, the chair of the bond oversight committee asked staff if there was adequate capacity to manage the large new mexico of capital projects the agency is implementing concurrently. though the response is yes, that could be question. the mta posted signs however

they weren't prominently post. people parked and when they came out the cars had been towed. this could be an cation -- indication of major issues. >> thank you very much. any other members of the public who wish to speak? seeing public comment closed. all right so this hearing has been held. our sponsor of the hearing has departed the hearing but i think our main point is we just wanted to ensure there was fairness and transparency in terms of the process in which the permits were issued around bike share especially the dockless or semi-dockless bike sharing. i was excite about the types of new bike sharing that would be rolled out in the city especially because with the

current contract we have we found in the west side districts would not have seen bike share for years and years on out and i think many of our residents would like to see bike sharing out there just the same as those on the eastern side of the town. with that said i think we have gotten many questions answered here however, i think the korchks will still need to continue. colleagues, do you have further questionses or comments on the hearing item? okay. so supervisor cohen requested it be filed. can we get a motion. okay. all right. so we'll do that without objection the hearing is filed. mr. clerk are there any other items? >> the clerk: that completes the agenda for today. >> commissioner: thank you, the meeting is adjourned.

- working for the city and county of san francisco will immerse you in a vibrant and dynamic city that's on the forefront of economic growth, the arts, and social change. our city has always been on the edge of progress and innovation. after all, we're at the meeting of land and sea. - our city is famous for its iconic scenery, historic designs, and world- class style. it's the birthplace of blue jeans, and where "the rock" holds court over the largest natural harbor on the west coast.

- the city's information technology professionals work on revolutionary projects, like providing free wifi to residents and visitors, developing new programs to keep sfo humming, and ensuring patient safety at san francisco general. our it professionals make government accessible through award-winning mobile apps, and support vital infrastructure projects like the hetch hetchy regional water system. - our employees enjoy competitive salaries, as well as generous benefits programs. but most importantly, working for the city and county of san francisco gives employees an opportunity to contribute their ideas, energy, and commitment to shape the city's future. - thank you for considering a career with the city and county of san francisco. today is january 25, 2018. and this is the regular meeting of the san francisco human

rights commission. it's 5:41 p.m. madam secretary, will you please read the roll call? [roll call] >> you have a quorum. >> thank you. now we'll go to public comment on items not on the agenda. this is an opportunity for members of the public to address the commission on matters that are within the committee's jurisdiction, but not on today's agenda. we would ask public comment to address any comments to the commission as a whole and not to individual commissioners or department personnel. pursuant to the rules of

government, the commissioners will not enter into debate or discussion with speakers on items related to public comment. please note that a lack of response is not necessarily a sign of agreement or support with the statements made during public comment. with that, is there public comment on items not on the agenda? seeing none, we'll move to the next item on the agenda. >> number 2, adoption of minutes dated january 11, 2018. >> colleagues, these minutes were circulated and i will entertain a motion. >> motion to approve. >> second that. >> thank you. is there any commissioner comment on this? seeing none, is there any public

comment on this item? seeing none, madam secretary, would you please read the roll? [roll call] >> motion passes. >> text item? >> number 3. presentations on data collection policies and practices. exploring the strategic role that data and its collection play in creating a diverse, inclusive and equitable society for all. burns institute. department of health, unified school district. public defender's office. san francis

san francis san francisco sheriff's department, police department, and coleman advocates. >> first, we'll welcome james bell, burns institute, who will discuss national best practices. welcome back, mr. bell. >> thank you for extending time for me for future remarks before we hear from people that are decision makers in the city and county of san francisco. as resident of san francisco for over 35 years. i've never experienced this kind of conversation since the displacing of residents in what used to be called the fillmore and other neighborhoods during the "urban renew alloy --

renewal"phenomenon. we know that neighborhoods change, but now we're called to monitor that change not withstanding market forces. market forces care little about equity, but i believe that government should. so how do we apportion goods and services and maintain communities in this context? obviously for me, i believe that equity is how any county must proceed. and in this gumbo of multiple interests, we must be informed of cross sectors by data so we're not relying on what we see in our individual experiences but what we know across experiences. for example, in neighboring los angeles regarding the problem of homelessness, i want to read an excerpt from "the new york times" yesterday, where it says, "as the homeless population has

grown, the old stereotypes of single men, mentally ill or addicted have been upended. now the crisis not just in los angeles is connected with another of the state's challenges -- an overheated housing market. many of those falling into homelessness have jobs but pushed to the streets by skyrocketing rents." this, i ahmading, is data, that they're using for tackling a problem by bringing new facts to light, this as they seek 8,000 volunteers to go out and count homeless people. ucla has done a recent study of

highly segregated schools by school district. you can go on-line and see this analysis they find that san franciscans are as separated in their schools as jackson, mississippi, and i'm sure many times san franciscans don't compare themselves to folks in jackson, mississippi. but once again, the data should inform how we engage equitable solutions to this problem, data done by the ucla study, has revealed. in rochester, minnesota, the board of supervisors is gathering data on the impacts of incarceration on the families left behind by assigning health workers to the families and children of the incarcerated parents. we know who's going off to do time. why don't we give counseling to the families and children of the incarcerated parents. we all know -- nadine burke's

book coming out this week, about trauma and how incarcerated parents can bring trauma. in kansas, officials are examining a 20-year difference in the life expectancy for neighborhoods that are only two miles apart. two miles apart, 20-year difference between 63 and 83 in those neighborhoods. yet data, yet again. we have commissioner carter here that will discuss what is happening in ramsey county as a supervisor. there they're called commissioners. we know that equity will not happen without common facts upon which we can rely upon to make difficult decisions. we cannot have uncommon facts about how we're going to divvy up these resources. we're supposed to be the city that's forward-looking,

experimental, and innovative. why on earth, i keep asking, 2 we not combine cross systems, indicators of well-being, to determine resource allocation? why don't we have equity metrics in each department? we'll hear more about that, i think, from commissioner carter. so before i take my seat, i want to read an excerpt, an op-ed from david brooks in this week's "new york times" that i considered to be earnestly naive, but something i hear in san francisco all the time. "but there are some of us -- i'm quoting -- that are uncomfortable with the whole identity-politics drill. we believe that while racism is the central stain on american history, racial conflict is not inevitable." he goes on to say, "so by reducing inequalities -- show me

any place in america that's done that -- by integrating in daily life, san francisco is one of the most segregated cities in terms of housing and schooling -- we can etch endly make our humanity more salient and differences less so." he continues, "we believe that america has made strides in this direction." i don't know where. that's my editorial comment. "and it's everyone's responsibility to make racial diversity a creative spark and not hositility." earnestly naive. san francisco is on the verge of permanent racial hositility. and without equity metrics, what's left of communities of color in this count yy will not

believe any agenda conservative or progressive are in our interests because we don't know what the equity metrics are. and i hope that we can stop that from happening and i hope that tonig tonig tonight's presentations to this body can make these words live in action. thank you very much for your time. >> thank you, mr. bell. [applause] next, we'll invite commissioner toni carter, elected commissioner from ramsey county, minnesota, to the podium. welcome. >> thank you. let me see if i can get my bearings a little bit. it's wonderful to be here with you. i've had the opportunity to come last night, to see the city, to feel the warmth of people. and many of whom are working

together with a focus on escalating the work you are doing to make sure that san francisco is a place where all can grow and thrive. and i say that knowing that that is not easy work. i come to speak with you about the work we do in ramsey county minnesota, and see if i can figure out how the slides work. okay, thank you. great. i will come over here a little bit -- i don't have to do that. >> mr. miller will. >> so i'll tell you a little bit about where i come from. it is my hope in sharing with you some of the characteristics of my county, whose central city is st. paul, minnesota, ramsey

county, and sharing with you our motivation then to not only be a diverse community, but to being a community that works for all. sharing with you that we have many of the same dilemmas that present here in san francisco and that we are determined to move our work forward so that we can dispel the story that there will always be a bottom and so that we can ensure that all within our community can grow and thrive. st. paul is the county seat and the capital of my county, ramsey county. the population of ramsey county is 540,000 people. half of the county's residents actually reside in the city of st. paul. and my work as a commissioner is elected out of a community of

about 80,000 people in a diverse section of st. paul. in 2013 in ramsey county, we began to focus our deeper understanding of our characteristi characteristics, our strengths, our needs, our assets, and on population data as critical to informing the work that we do to ensure that we have a healthy and vibrant community. that would be in public safety. in employment. in health. in justice in housing. in all areas of life in our county. our foundational document, which was called "building our future," drew four simple, but pervasive conclusions. first is that our people are our future. the second is that we needed to employ intensity of land, that

that would matter as we worked to serve our people. that new partnerships, different than the traditional partnerships we've held on to for a long time. and in addition to many of those partnerships would make a difference in our ability to change. and that we would build on the existing foundation of work and relationships, assets, needs, and understanding of our community. so amongst minnesota counties, ramsey county, you should also know, is the very smallest in land mass. it has the capital city. it is the most densely populated. it has the greatest percentage of people of color. and we are also home to the region's most racially and ethnically diverse community, with the largest share of skilled workers who have languages that are other than

english. we consider that an advantage. and are working toward ensuring that we utilize our diversity advantage in this global economy. the slide shows ramsey county in 2016. there's a much bigger regional picture that impacts us as well. the minneapolis-st. paul greater twin city's region population of color will more than double by 2040. that's our projection, a little different than here. while the nonhispanic white population will remain about the same, as it is depicted on the slide today. the region is depicted as an immigration gateway and it's expected that we will grow by thousands of new residents through international immigration through 2040. as i said, we welcome this growth, as we do believe that diversity is a strength in the global marketplace. i want to share just a few more statistics then about our

demographics. overall in ramsey county, we are home to colleges and universities, more than any other county in minnesota. and ramsey county's education statistics look pretty good. of residents 25 and over, 16% have a graduate or professional degree, as compared to 11.2% nationally. 90% have completed high school. 40.4% have a bachelor's or higher degree. the national averages are 86.7% and 29.8% respectfully. however, as the slide shows, significant racial disparities also exist in education. 95% of the white population has a high school diploma, only 82% of black or african-americans in the population do and just 68% of the asian population has a

high school diploma. that's a difference of 13% and 27% respectively. and these disparities exist at the higher education level. with 47% of whites, 37% of asians. we recognize that our future economic growth will depend on an educated, highly skilled population. in income, 2016 median householdin come was $56,104, compared to the u.s. median of $53,889. 11.4% of families in ramsey county live below the poverty level. and nationally, 11.3%.

so just about the same. with higher average incomes in ramsey county and with poverty rates on par with the national level, significant racial and economic disparities also exist. you will see on this slide, or on this slide, okay, that racial disparities in income and poverty rates exist. so there's nearly a $23,000 annual difference in the average incomes earned by nonhispanic whites and people of color and 22% difference in the poverty rate of people of color versus nonhispanic whites. a recent report showed that employed blacks in ramsey county actually earned just 39 cents on the $1 earned by whites. [please stand by ]

swee within ramsey county. all are involved in achieving all of these goals, boldly for all people in ramsey county. and they are wellbeing, health and wellbeing at the center of all decision making. we are envisioning the opportunity to strengthen individuals, families and our entire community through effective safety net, services and innovative programming and working with our community to focus primarily on prevention and intervention, clearly services that are needed and even deepen services appropriately to help all. and with the focus on

environmental stewardship. the second, prosperity is a goal that we developed from an initial determination we had to address our demographics. in a community where our population of color is 35% and doubling by 2040 and where we are impacting by what we in minnesota call the silver tsunami. the white men who have traditionally been our work force are aging out and we are not able to, based on our demographic projections, see a work force given the fact that people of color have so traditionally been not included and not prospering. that will drive us forward. it is an economic imperative and of course the right thing to do to make certain that those who have not typically been included

are. we can only grow and prosper if that is the case. the prosperity measurement came from our determination initially to combat communities and neighborhoods of poverty. we realize looking up one day that ramsey county had the greatest number of racially concentrated areas of poverty. but knowing what we know, about the diversity advantage, and the opportunity to have a work force that can be globally competitive in this global economy, we determine that cap actually means real capitalist areas for prosperity. our initial goal of combatting economic poverty turned into a realization that we could create economic prosperity in

communities typically deprived. the opportunity goal is about enhancing mobility and ensuring opportunity for all residents through our program, through education, employment and economic development that focuses on those areas and people most needing that opportunity. and finally, we know that we can only do this work if we can see and understand what our realities are today. if we can envision the future that we want to achieve and if we can keep our eyes on the progress that we need to achieve as we go. our organization, based on this bold vision, our mission and the goals that have been described has been combined into four service teams to focus on the

four goals we talked about, to sherri sources, to be able to get out of the silo mentality of only having a resource in one department, able to address a client in that department. to sharing inside those service teams and even across the walls of those service teams with our county manager and strategic areas of the county manager's finance, human resources and policy and planning work serving all of those areas. the goal here of course is to tool ourselves to better meet the needs of our community. i want to share with you, and i'm not going to keep you all night, and then i promise i'll go unless you want to see all the data that backs this up. i want to share with you that ramsey county's strategic plan mirrors the vision, mission and goals that you just saw. it also includes for the time

and this past couple of years, strategic priorities that outline the deep work that we need to do. focusing on data, organizing that data, translating it across departments and also together with our community partners to ensure we're talking about the same thing and measuring the same thing. and within ramsey county, utilizing those levers of our work to drive equity. with a strong focus on community engagement. these are our strategic areas of focus right now. i won't read through them all, i know you can see them. but we are focused on equity, with community engagement, although you see it as one line, embedded, equity and community engagement throughout every strategic area. yes, we're looking at ensuring we're bringing in talent and that our employment is

equitable. that we're attracting and retaining. we're focused on procurement, we're focused on ensuring that our continuum for young people and for their families is as it should be to address their needs and our opportunities to grow a vibrant community. we're integrating data across platforms together with our partners again to ensure we're talking about the same people, the same goals and able to address the data practices concerns. which are many for us in minnesota to ensure that we can help our families progress. overall, we are focused on ensuring that in each area we have measurements that will help us to understand the work that we are doing for equity and for all. finally i'll say, i'm not going to go through these pieces but let me stop on open and accessible public data.

finally i will say that it is so important to us to know and to share data and information that we have committed to an open data portal. now, the information that we need to make decisions based on critical decision points across all areas, first of all, is not all there, but as we build it, will be shared with our community. and so the information we have collected, working with the -- with james bell and our juvenile initiative, just as you have built your juvenile detention initiative, have helped us reduce young people who spend time in detention facilities and help us to reduce the number of young people who actually are in

out of home placement for correction purposes. that data is disaggregate, as is much of the data across units of service by race and ethnicity and will be shared on our open data portal. that is so we can be sure that in working with our partners, we are talking about the same things and accomplishing for our community, our goals. i will leave you with this thought... we cannot address what we do not look at. and so of course your work to ensure that data is collected, to know those who are most in need, and to mind the opportunities you have for prosperity, from what could have been positive and disparity.

your opportunities are great. i look forward to partnering with you and san francisco from minnesota and the more partners we have, the more vibrantly we address the work together, the better opportunity we all have to succeed. thank you. (applause) >> thank you so much. we have a speaker that has a time constraint. i just want to check in. you're fine. okay, good. so happy to welcome theodore miller from hope sf and senior advisor to the mayor. welcome. >> thank you madam chair and director davis. theodore miller, tremendous to follow commissioner carter and my friend mr. bell. i'm here on behalf of the mayor.

i'll try to be as quick as possible. i want to say loud and clear we at hope fs believe in common equity methods across the common. just underscoring what commissioner carter said, we need an entity like human rights committee to make sure the city has bold policy for that it's ground in data and all data is not created equally. there's a specific type of data we need to focus on, this was underscored in commissioner carter's comments. if we go to the slide here, first, a quick word on hope sf, the first program creating vibrant mixed income communities, we represent sort of growing force of four neighborhoods across the
