to say one of the things we worked on last week as a department was doing a continuity work plan for the new mayor. the request from the office was to talk about two things we are doing in the next 30 days, the next six months, and the next year. and so i just wanted to give you just a very general idea of what we, what i sent over to the mayor's office. the first was talking about enhancements to the public conservatorship process, i mentioned before to you, but certainly we are working with other departments to try to streamline the process to make sure that people who are greatly disabled are able to access the services that we have. also, we have been working very closely with senator wiener's office on his bill, senate bill 1045, which would expand the powers of the conservator to

serve a broader population. the second thing is that we have been working on world elder awareness day, outreach, we want to do, expanded outreach in the city about elder abuse and i'll talk more about that in a minute. but that's what we sent also to them. and the six months, we talked about the reframing aging san francisco, which you know about already. that's a couple of things that we are going to be doing around really broadening outreach to san francisco, the vision i think is to make sure that we can all age well in san francisco and that everybody understands what that means. and the next thing is optimizing aging and dementia care. we are partnering with ucsf aging collaborative for best practices in dementia care. the front line workers, adult protective services workers have

or will receive training from ucsf and incorporate dementia screenings. both doing this via mobile application and when they find somebody who might need further follow-up they can follow that up. [please stand by]>> lisa, debra

oliver, tiffany, anne, lauren, mary, jamie, and rick. thank you. [applause] >> why don't all of you come up here so we can see you. [applause] this is a great group. so, while i'm talking, bridgette

will help me by handing out certificates to each of you. really, i wanted to talk about a couple different things great about the safety committee. intra, it involves different programs throughout daas and i think it's been a really good chance for people to get to know each other across programs and to work together. i also think it really kind of falls in line with our strategic plan. one of the things in our strategic plan is that we really support staff to in turn support clients and one of the things we need to make sure we do is provide staff with a safe working environment. and being such a big agency and in the big old buildings, and right in the heart of san francisco, you know, we are challenged sometimes with making sure things are safe for our staff.

and this group has really stepped up to find out what the safety issues are with staff across the department, and to make sure that they are tackling the safety issues when they can and also working to make us be better atping t keep our staff safe. so, i just want to thank all of you for that. and i also want to read who the person who submitted this, submitted you as a group, said, because it's really great, and much better than what i can probably say. but i also want to start by saying mary carbaras, thank you so much for being the chair and really taking leadership and cat, thank you so much for being the chair now and continuing the leadership. it's really been helpful to have you two step up. but right now i'm going to talk about all of you. so, the daas safety committee, employee led group focussed on employees from field safety,

workplace violence and disaster issues, to make a few. with representation from all daas programs, volunteers meet monthly and work on relevant issues to work on unicatn. emplees co-chair the meetings, create their own agenda and action items, regular presence at the daas leadership meetings. staff interest and a variety of safety topics, addressing training and safety issues from their respective programs, and creating documents like the field safety tips and reference guide for building a work-related safety issue. during the april 2018 daas quarterly leadership meeting, they share the current floor plans, striker chairs, fire extinguishers on easily referenced document. the daas safety committee is an example of the exceptional staff at daas who not only care about

serving our clients but also care about our work environment and are willing to go above and beyond the regular responsibilities to promote safety and awareness. this committee was formed after focussed after efforts by our management and supervisors and our innovations team really working together to address safety concerns and i really just am grateful to you for working on this now for what's been two years, and for sticking with it, and also for the managers here, who really support the staff to take the time to go to the meetings and do the work that it takes. because obviously that means coming out of their regular jobs to do that. so, thank you all, and you are all employees of the month for june. [applause]

>> thank you, and thaas an all-star cast indeed. next on the agenda is the advisory counsel report, eleanor. ok. >> commissioner. >> good morning, president, commissioners, executive director, the advisory council met on wednesday, may 16, and at that meeting we had an announcement that long time senior member dr. bruce spear

resigned. senior senator for c.s.l. for our area and he resigned after many years of service to the ty and county of san francisco and to daas. we have three other candidates who we take in its place, one of the persons will be taking dr. spear's will be, this is, her name is -- mrs. hammond, warren and allegra will be the person taking dr. spear's place. also at the meeting dr. edelman gave her report, and that's lgbt summit, summit held on, tomorrow, from 8:30 to 2:00 at

the milton mark conference center, and it's open to everyone. mrs. lawrence, diane lawrence a attended the senior rally on may 8, and hopefully she will give that. i was not there at the meeting, i was out, excuse me for kind of stumbling over some of this stuff. >> thank you leon for stepping in. >> president serina: comments or questions, hearing none, move on. joint legislative committee report, diane lawrence. >> good morning, commissioners and director. now that i've been called on to discuss senior rally day, it was -- there were about 600 seniors from statewide, san bernardino county was the largest represented. they had gotten on the busses late the night before and traveled to sacramento. there were speakers from the

legislature, from both houses, supervisor wiener, excuse me, state senator wiener spoke as did, i believe, assemblyman phil tang. those who spoke, spoke about their commitment to senior legislation and to seniors in california, and because they have realized that so many bills that impact seniors and their programs and funding go through so many varied committees, they put together a work group, if you will, from both houses, and from a number of those committees to see if they can streamline the process. we were actually handed a template of all of the agencies that touched senior issues and it began to look like the periodic table for those of you who took chemistry. and a little more colorful and, but -- and then there were some workshops on some members met

with legislators to advocate for certain bills. some met with, i went to a workshop on kind of process and that was very, very helpful. so, it was -- it was a worth while day. it was beautiful, and of course in may you have lots of school children traipsing the halls and so it was, it was just a nice event, and a lot of energy. then the following week we met in, as usual, with our joint legislative committee. again, we did not have a quorum, we were waiting approvals. we discussed 23 of the 33 we are following, and going to highlight about seven of those and then you'll have the detail in the minutes. eight new bills were added to the list. because we are winding down the legislative session, it will end at the end of this month, and will be the end of that two-year

session, so a whole brand-new bunch of legislation to begin looking at early next year. we are at that point where things are moving in and out of committees rapidly, where there's a lot of federal wording changes, you know, striking language and adding language. but there were, as i say, seven i would like to point out. one is ab23, 24 by assemblyman rubio, and on elder or dependent adult abuse, and it requires mandated reports and expands the definition of disorderly conduct to include looking through a hole or opening in the wall, concealed camera or concealed secret recording camera, and the bill would require mandatory reporting, it's a major change there. another one is on ab2877 by mathis, and this is on vehicular air pollution, and this was for

rural areas. help them get grants to get efficient vehicles with gas efficiency to reduce pollution in rural areas. nd whahe added this time was some, they set some dollar limits, the one in the bill in may is $25,000. senator wiener's conservatorship bill, sb1045, narrowed the focus of the bill to two pilot programs, sunset in january 1st of 2024, the counties of los angeles and the county of san francisco. so we'll continue to watch that one. ab2025 creates, we talked about it before, it's now called elders, and that's -- elders living with dignity, empathy, respect and support. it names a major change and it

will create a bond fund so there will be a bond on the 2020 ballot to create a $200 million bond found for housing. ab2021 by accosta, and added a pilot program for senior volunteers to encourage senior volunteer program and non-profit caregiver resource center, and that would create a pilot program, obviously, require reporting to sunset in 2024, before it moves forward. and then in assemblyman irwin's bill, ab2019, greatest social need to include cultural or social isolation caused by sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. and then lastly, senate bill 821

by jackson, it defines what is necessary in an emergency plan. we have spoken before where these, come out of the santa rosa fires and then the hurricanes where we saw some challenges in other jurisdictions over getting seniors out of residential care facilities. and as i say, defines emergency plan just for the purposes of emergency services. so, i'm sure, in the july report, a lot more changes given where we are in the legislative cycle and then in august tracking what's past and what's at the governor's desk. >> thank you, diane. one question, the adjustments or amendments that senator wiener made to the conservator bill to limit it to san francisco and los angeles county, does that improve the chances for passage? >> i'm not sure if it does or not. since it is narrowed down and

help refine someone in the department may have better insight. it probably does, yeah. >> thank you. >> two quick quesons. if you had more information, my understanding that two additional pieces of legislation from senator wiener also recently passed, one being extending drug prices to prevent price gouging for consumers, and two being, providing full dental coverage for low income people with developmental disabilities. i don't have a lot of background information. wondering if you did. >> i will put those as action items in report next month. >> commissioner pappas: thank you, mr. chair and director, i expressed to diane an interest to sit on this committee in addition to my work on the nominating committee, if that has -- if that's ok with you all, i would like to -- >> president serina: yes, that would be great. any comments or questions from the public?

thank you very much, diane. as usual, very thorough. >> thank you. >> president serina: long-term care coordinating council report. >> good morning, commissioners and guests. my name is jaycee coen, long-term care coordinating council, which i am a member to share highlights from our may 2018 meeting. when i'm not at council meetings, i am chief of strategic partnerships at the arc san francisco, adults 18 years and older. chair of the nominations committee work group of the long-term care coordinating council. this work group is charged with recruiting into long-term care coordinating members, interviewing candidates, and increasing the diversity of the

long-term care coordinating council membership. the dignity sun coalition april 26th mayoral town hall was a huge success. with 980 of the 990 seats filled at the theater and 440 individuals watching the live stream. it was the largest mayoral event to date. long-term care coordinating council member mark burns, on april 23rd, led a team at the scan foundation advocacy day at the capitol, collaboration with the 23 regional coalitions, collaborative for long-term supports. general conversation in support of the data study request listed as the top policy ask for the collaboration, followed by support for the more specific

asks around mssp, multi-purpose senior services program, the pace program, programs of all-inclusive care for the elderly, and the need to establish ihssmoe, maintenance of effort, balanced and fair to counties that provided them with incentive to continue support quality and choice in the program. members of the long-term care coordinating council steering and finance committees have held three energetic strategic planning and development meetings, with the fourth scheduled tomorrow to refine the long-term care coordinating council strategic framework, and set the tone for our work plan for next year. this is all in preparation for the june 14th long-term care coordinating council retreat. the joint committee drafted a revised long-term care

coordinating council, mission, vision statement and core values and principles for further discussion and review at the june 14th retreat, as well as agenda focus for the meeting. between january and march, a series of three presentations to the council on employment and work force challenges of older adults and people with disabilities. to help the members discuss and identify policy recommendations to put forward by the long-term care coordinating council. the council drafted the following work force policy recommendations. on work force, the san francisco long-term care system to be successful and meeting its vision, the long-term care coordinating council support long-term care work force policies, which develop and sustain and appropriately skilled work force of sufficient capacity to meet the needs of the long-term care population. on employment or san francisco

older adults and people with disabilities, to thrive in their hond communities, there must be sufficient employment opportunity for all those who wish to participate. therefore, the long-term care coordinating council support employment policies which help create and build employment equity for older adults and people with disabilities. on may 9 supervisor yee hosted a hearing about the gaps in employment and related services for older adults and adults with disabilities. the hearing included much public comment, both frustrations and positives. a number of suggestions, including a small group to look at local, state and federal level policies and programs, and identify best practices and look at disability and capability together. thank you for the opportunity to present today. >> thank you for that very comprehensive report. any comments or questions from the commission?

and the compassion, about compassion and choices with reverend bob drake, and that's to do with the california end of life options act. y might have been watching thef news, the act is now been overturned, and so the board and the members of looking at is there any advocacy we want to do around that adding additional options and choices for clients who are really at the end of life stage, and so we'll see what we do with that going forward. we do have a meeting on monday, june 11th, from 3 to 5. our meetings are currently held at stepping stone presentation adult day health care, at 301 ellis street. and this month we are having a presentation on justice and aging, fighting senior poverty through law. and we are having the executive director kevin prindellville do a presentation and offering continuing education units, something we have been able to do recently and are very

fortunate to have kaitlyn morgan helping us with that. so, that's my presentation. is there any questions? >> thank you very much, patty. one question on the compassionate care act. i think it was just a superior court judge in southern california that has ruled against it, but i don't think there's been any final court decision that completely overturns the act. >> that's something we are looking at. i've heard a couple different news reports about it, and so we are going to follow it as a board and as members and see where it goes and what we want to do, if it does actually get fully overturned. >> thank you, maybe you can let us know next month. >> president serina: comments or questions? anything from the public? thank you, hearing none, item 5, general public comment. opportunity for the public to comment on items not on the agenda. is there any public comment? seeing none, moving on to item 6, old business. any old business?

public? thank you. please come to the microphone. >> good morning, hi, my name is ali taal. i want to share with you the work happening on our front. we have been around for 43 years, we do naturalization. we are involved with a lot of immigration reform, especially san francisco county in the greater bay area. i want to share with you that many of the naturalization cases that we are confronted with have been much more complex now with the heightened attack on immigration in san francisco as a sanctuary city, specifically many of our l.p.r. seniors are sometimes confused when immigration says we are going to deport you and they don't know the laws, so then there is a rush to try to get naturalized. for a lot of folks who did not do that before, are now doing that. a lot of other services like the san francisco o.c.a., the office of civil engagement, all the

collaborative effort is to better serve the san francisco community. i want to share with you why it's so complicated, so, government has greater access to petitioners and record electronically, and more scrutiny on the clients, on the background, more time for attorneys to potentially address the issues, because of that, we have to do more freedom information act, research and background. there are a lot more increase in refusing or denying disability waiver for our adults, elder, and requires more detail. the failure to do more complex case, with i is much more needed, simple cases are easy, but complex are really hard when you are having seniors afraid, trying to track the record, means a lot more work and if you do it wrong, it means deportation. so, we can't have that here. so i wanted to share with you the breadth and the front line
