commercial tenants. the program will compliment the small sites program. which is preserved 26 buildings with over 184 units to date. the 4830 mission project, is a great example of this. this was a project that was acquired in july of 2018 by meta with a 13 million-dollar acquisition loan from the san francisco housing accelerator fund. the expected permanent take out through prop c includes financing of 9 and a half million dollars expected to occur in the spring of 2019. we also expect that that prop c funding may reduce the need for gap funding under the small sites program. >> before you go onto the next slide. this is a good example where we can explain it better.

so, small sites acquisition money will be used and it will help you more with the take out financing? in this example, that's what you are saying? is that how you anticipate utilizing this funding? >> yes, that's correct. >> take-out financing as well as acquisition is what we're calling direct acquisition. >> so you could have -- if this would have been proved prior you could have used this money to do the 13 million-dollar up front? >> that's correct. and, as you said, in this case, it's an estimated savings to the city of $2 million in small sites program funding which, you know, it's enough money to do another six-unit project. >> again, i'm just not familiar.

what do you mean by permanent take-out financing? i don't understand that term. >> permanent take-out financing is financing for the stabilization period. in mortgage and real estate, financing, you typically have different financing for the construction period, the period where there's work being done and then the stabilized period. so take-out financing is the financing that would occur after the project is completed and stabilized. >> what do you use that money for? >> it's to payoff the construction financing and -- >> so it's like a refund. >> it's like refinancing. >> i understand stuff like that. >> sorry. >> can i just -- >> the accelerator fund is loaning the money. >> just to follow a question

which is -- in the first slide or the beginning, there's been about 90 something million used. it was a loan program at the time? it gets repaid? does it mean that you always are going to have -- it's going to get reduced? >> the repayments under the existing program from 1992 as well as the revised program prop c, before you today, all of those repaymented go to payoff the bond issued by the city. they're not going to be recirculated or revolving to be lent out again. >> it reduces our debt long-term. >> exactly. >> thank you. >> go ahead. >> that was a great ex pom. exa. >> in terms of next steps, we're working with our other partners in the city to for the general

obligation bond, seismic safety loan program 1992, serious 2019-a and we're targeting an amount not to exceed $105 million. concurrently, we're working on operationalizing our loan program, rolling it out and marketing it to our sponsors. working with an active pipeline of 27 projects representing 312 units. >> reporter: are those mainly small sites? >> those are mainly small sites as well as a few big sites. >> that's a new one. big sites. go ahead. >> that concludes the presentation. >> thank you. >> any other questions from the committee? >> seeing none. we'll go ahead and do public

comment. >> please come forward. >> good afternoon, supervisors, peter cohen. small sites, big sites, medium sites, obviously we're very enthusiastic about this coming into effect. we want to thank all the folks involved, the mayor's office of housing, the advocates, our organizations and also the supervisors who led the charge. this is an example of creative way to find money and i'm going to give a lot of credit to whitney jones who kind of uncover it but we all worked to figure out how to make this happen. it's 72% of voters supported prop c november 2016. 72% of voters. most voters don't really under bonds and the narrative around that was to acquire housing and get it off the speculation market and make it permanent leah forward able to low and moderate households. that sold 72% of san franciscans.

i want to reminds us that this is something that makes total sense to folks. we can really build on affordable housing program and strategy on an acquisition platform as much as new construction. and i think that's what the voters really told us with that strong support. just in general, this is one tool we've been building a lot of tools to build this program. acquisition for folks who have been around this industry a long time was much stronger years past but it's kind of been rebuilt, if you will, almost from nothing in recent years. we're putting that back together. not only the funding and the kind of program tools the mayor's office of housing but the level of the organizations. we're doing capacity work. we have five organizations doing acquisition programs and three more trying to build that staffing ex and work with the housing accelerator fund to do capacity building. i just want to say this is a great piece of legislation. it's part of really building an effective and impactful

strategy. thank you for your support. >> thank you. >> next speaker. >> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is whitney jones. peter was too kind to say i was responsible for this. we're really excited to see these funds hit the streets. we've fought for this program and we fought for the repurchasing of those funds in this way. this is the program that will be one of the key tools we need for acquisition rehabilitation of at-risk buildings as a way that is the city's program for anti displacement of low income people. over our 41-year history they have acquired about 20 existing buildings with about 1800 units. so we're very familiar with this work. it is and has been crucially important in chinatown. we're planning on using the prop

c funds for a 73-unit sro building and our small sites work, which again, these are the fundamental programs we're using to keep low income people in place. we also worked with staff on the language for the use of these and we look forward to their being available as soon as possible. thank you, very much. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon, supervisors. carolyn fang from mission economic development agency. thank you for the opportunity to support this fantastic legislation that will leverage taxpayer dollars even further by having lower cost mortgages for us to be able to preserve and acquire buildings. to date, as supervisor safai knows we've been able to buy 22 buildings across the mission district and many parts of san francisco. more importantly, this will help us to take out seven buildings that we've already acquired including 4830 mission. we really hope you can support

this because this will be part of leveraging financing. what we need next is more equity. we need to find more permanent sources to leverage those taxpayers dollars. in addition to this bond, we want to be able to look for more dollars so we look forward to this and future support for more acquisition funding. >> thank you guys for all your hard work on this. next speaker. >> good afternoon, my name is daniel. i'm on the agenda for later. i work the the northern california community loan fund and i just wanted to express that affordability needs to be intentional and it's a market and we're super fans of the small sites program. this is such an innovative and important mechanism for insuring affordability in the city and also i wanted to note something else. i can't remember. i'm in support and thank you.

>> any other members of the public wish to comment on this item. seeing none public item is closed. any comment. colleagues. >> i'm just make one. i can attest to the importance of this program firsthand. we just worked with meta and we worked with the mayor's office, we worked with community advocates and we were able to do the largest small sites acquisition in the first non-rent control building. without these funds, these folks, families and lives are i am pacted. so having another tool in the tool kit in a creative way, i want to thank supervisor peskin. i remember when he put it on the ballot. i know the housing -- two years ago, sorry. housing advocates were paying attention and were responsible. it feels like last year. it was two years ago. it was very important because i know the small sites acquisition fund is running out of money or

might already have in the moment and so, we need to be able to replenish this and give additional funds to do this work. everyday we're able to identify these opportunities and these are real families that are being faced with eviction and displacement. this is an important thing. thank you guys for all your hard work and thoughtfulness and creativity and so i am a co sponsor. i'm just adding myself to everything. it's a lot of good stuff today. this is a really important one. so thank you. any other comments. seeing none, we'll make a motion to send this out with positive recommendations to the full board. >> mr. chair, would you like to adopt the amendments proposed by the city authority? >> right. sorry. can we make a motion to approve the amendments. >> moved. >> thank you. >> without objection. >> and we'll move this to the full board with positive

recommendations as amended. thank you. please call -- i think we did -- sunny, do you know where mr. eberling is? i thought i saw him here. can you send him back? thank you. we will take item -- hold on. we have five, six and seven left. why don't we go ahead and take item 5. >> item 5 hearing to consider a pointing one member term and one member term ending january 31st and 22 to the mental health board and there are two seats and four applicants. >> let's go ahead and hear from tony parks. please keep your comments to two minutes or less. >> my name is tony parks i'm a

long-term resident of san francisco. i am one of the many people that at one point have been evicted from my apartment. i'm now a consumer of baker places. i live in one their facilities. my interest is to try to be a bridge between the tech world and the city services that are in the city. i believe that two can help each other. rather than just fight each other on market street. and i want to say i only missed two meetings in three years. i am a reader of the "new york times" everyday and read with interest anything that helps us with information about helping this big problem that we have much. >> great. >> thank you so much. >> thank you for your service. >> any initial questions. we'll call you back up if we have any.

the next person mr. windship hillier. >> thank you, good afternoon committee members. on information and belief, i have been denominated as an international terrorist and or someone who willingly aids vets in conspires with international terrorism. as a result of the surveillance that goes along with this, it had been used to implement out patient psychiatric treatment on me. including involuntary dosing with antipsychotic powerful and debilitating medication and dangerous. chemicals substances, the intent is to cause extreme pain for

behavioral purposes. to cause asthma, inducement and sodium cyanide, which causes lethal in higher doses. if appointed to the board, i will work for full disclose your of the involvement with the war on terror. mental healing services provided through the city. i'd like to draw your attention to the graph i have here on the p.c. this shows a drastic increase in the number of mental health filings in san francisco superior court. beginning on 2001. it goes from 100 filings a year to 2,000 filings. that's the order of magnitude increase from two a week to 40 a week. i see that i'm out of time. i will investigate this if awe

apoint me to the board. >> my name is marcus dancer. i'm up for the seat for a family member of a consumer. my sister has been here for 25 years. my sister is in her 60s and she's been having mental illness since she was 20-years-old. over 40 years. i'm 53. i witnessed my sister for my whole life. she lives here. i'm up for this seat here in san francisco. i think i can bring my life experience in that regard and also some of my own work that i do. i'm a crisis intervention trainer of a cibhs. i was also set on that panel two

and a half years while we compiled for the training for the state of california. i worked with the homeless coalition when i first got here. i've been here 19 years. i worked with c.b.o.s, young community developers. i'm a minister here in the city. i am a associate minister at golden gate church of christ and i was a minister in fillmore at the uptown church of christ. my passion, my ministry has paced me in working with people that are in crisis for mental health. i think i can bring an experienced eye to the board if i am appointed. thank you for your time. do you have any questions for me? >> have you attended any of the meetings in the past? >> yes. >> so what has been your observation? >> i believe that reasonable experience can be brought to the table and making suggestions for

the actual board to act on. it's a lot of people on there. i met with elaine on several occasions and i've been to executive meeting as well. it's a place where reasonable implementation of policy can be started. i know we don't have the power to start anything but we do have the access to make a suggestion. i think i would fit great on that board. >> any other questions? >> we'll call you back up. the next applicant is virginia brasky. >> thank you for giving me the

opportunity to speak. i am applying for a family member feed on the board. i am a mordechai of a son who was diagnosed with skitso effective disorder. my son passed away in december of 2014. it's partly as a tribute to him that i am here today. he benefited from community and city agencies. he lived in oceanside and carlsbad. when he finally had been diagnosed and gotten the proper medication, he became an active member in his community trying to alleviate the stigma of mental illness. he went to a clubhouse that served consumers of mental health diagnosis. he worked as a social security advocate trying to help people get their social security

benefits. he also was a member of a panel that presented to police in san diego county. it was called purt. it was the psychiatric emergency response team and they trained police officers to understand the fierce and the problems that people with mental health have when police meet them on the street. i'm proud of that and i want to continue his work. i have come to a few of the mental health board meetings over the past six months. i have been gratified and inspired by the work that they do and also becoming knowledgeable about some of the things that go on here in this city. i just want to say, i'm sharing a little bit of my story because mike's story is what gives me my experience. when mike was -- before he became ill, he worked for hughes

aircraft. he had a masters degree in science. he worked at hughes aircraft in laser optics. it was at that the spector of mental illness took over his life. i want to say he was on the street for a number of years before he was diagnosed. he came in contact with a response team, a mobile response team and that's what helped him on his road to recovery. i just want to say i'm gratified for places like that. thank you. >> thank you. >> any questions? we don't have any other applicants in front of us. we have tough decisions to make when we have multiple applicants for the same seat.

public comments. >> david elliott louis. seat 12, tony parks. i previous served two terms on the mental health board. the last appointment was by london breed. i found her to be an important consumer voice. an articulate voice. she was an invaluable member. i'd love to see her get reappointed to a second and final term. i'm withel mental health association and tony perks has a lot to offer. i hope you will consider reappointing her. thank you, very much. >> thank you so much. >> next speaker.

>> i just want to introduce myself as executive director of the mental health advisory board and if you have any questions and want a second, tony is a fabulous member of the board. she didn't toot her horn for having department of public-health, through her research and advocacy implement the no-smoking policy at residential care facilities. they actually have now implemented it. in terms of the other position, the family member position, i think both applicants are strong but we actually need more males on the board. we have mostly females. we are also encouraging people to take seats who have family members that have been through our system here. so they're familiar with what we have to offer. >> thank you for that in sight. >> supervisor stefani has a question for you, ma'am. >> are there other appointments

coming up soon? or is the board full? >> not from the rules committee. let's see, supervisor malia cohen has a heat that's vacant. >> the president of the board has a seat to a point. >> yes. yes. >> district 5 and then we actually appeal to the rules committee, we have not had a supervisor on our board for since fiona mile left. we keep trying but we aren't inspiring someone to commit from the supervisors. we would love to have one of you. >> great. >> great. >> thank you. >> any other members of the public wish to comment. seeing none, public comment is closed. so my original remarks stand. i think that it's not an easy situation. >> i just want to comment that i agree that it sounds like

ms. parks would be a great reappointment and thank you for your service so far. the other two, of course, again, we're in a situation where we have two qualified people with stories that i'm sure would help their work on the board. i personally know marcus very well. i've worked with him and known him for years. i know he and his wife and i know he is an incredible person and someone who would do great work on the board. i do have to say that. i know him very well and i trust that he wants to do a good job on this board. your story, ma'am, just moved me. it's a hard decision to make but i just wanted to let everyone know that i do know marcus well and i think he with do a great job on the board. >> thank you. if i can ask a question to the director. >> it says here on the -- it says on the notice seat number 6

is vacant. seat number 12 is tony parks which is being -- >> it's considered vacant until she's reappointed. seat number 14 is a vacant seat. so do you have two openings? >> that was angela pond. maybe that's the one. >> that's the one that mark spencer and virginia. >> we have 12 and 14 but it also says seat number 6 exceeding eugene. >> that's malia cohen's seat. >> district 10 supervisor. >> got it. >> so that's an individual. 11 of the seats are appointed by each individual supervisors and then five of the seats are appointed by the rules committee and then the rules committee also appoints the supervisor the 17th seat. >> seat 12 and 14. >> correct. >> ok. >> thank you. >> thank you.

>> so, sounded like this is not an easy decision. i think that ms. brasssky as your story was gut-wrenching and i'm sorry for your experiences. i can't even begin to imagine. same with you mr. dancer, i know you are still continuing to live with that. ms. parks, i would be comfortable reappointing miss parks. sounds like a strong recommendation from the director. any other thoughts from supervisor stefani. i think the thing that tips the scale in my opinion is the director saying that we need more males on the board. and there's not as much male representation on the board. i think that's an important voice from the director here. i also understand both of them have their own personal experiences with their own family members and so, i would

love to see both of them be on the board. so this is not an easy decision. >> one other question about the supervisor seat. if the supervisor is not able to make it, can they send a proxy? >> the supervisor is send a proxy but you can't vote. you can send staff to be present and listen but you have to actually vote. supervisor peskin was a board member and actually attended most of the meetings and supervisor sue bearman was there when i first started with the job. it's very valuable for your it was if your staff attends. you will know issues. tonight we're hear about the lunch. transitional aids youth program in san francisco. >> i'm definitely interesting. i'll follow-up. >> great, thank you.

>> any other thoughts? did you make a motion? >> she did not make a motion. >> she just shared her thoughts. >> so, do you want to make a motion? >> well, based on my personal experience and what i know of mr. dancer and what the director said that i would at this time, feel comfortable moving forward marcus dancer to seat 14. i would like for virginia to stay involved. that would be my motion at this time. >> tony parks for seat 12. >> yes. we have agreement on that. we can do that without objection. >> thank you. so then that would be the motion. >> thank you. >> thank you, very much.

>> please call item number 6. >> members terms ending april 27, 2020 to the south of market community stabilization fund and community advisory committee. >> unless there's any comments from the committee, mr. lot, can you come forward. please, keep your comments to two minutes or less. hell oh again. than>> hello again.my name is d. as i mentioned previously, i am 'em employed at the community loan fund. i will take out and however, i am a fundraiser and a strategic communications person is my background. my husband and i live at sixth and howard street. i'm a fundraiser by profession. i am proud soma resident by

choice. we are both very active in the community. on the board of hospitality which you may be familiar with as a homeless service organization in the tenderloin and i also work there 11 years previously. i think, given my background and my interests in the soma c.a.c. are really about making sure that i think it's really unfortunate this community is defined by its challenges and there are so many community assets and such a entrepreneurial spirit in the community. something like the stabilization fund really provides the necessary resources to the non profits who are serving these folks and kind of illicitting that spirit. that's something i try and approach the community in that way and it's something i appreciate that the c.a.c. as well. perhaps two years have been fulfilling in service and i've learned a lot about my own community and the work that we do. so i just am very proud to be a

community member and help you serve in this way. thank you. >> thank you. >> do we have any questions. >> thank you, supervisors. i a apologize, i was across the hall at the other committee hearing tracking an important financial item for the central soma plant. i didn't realize you had jumped ahead that quickly. >> we were trying to jump around. >> and of course i worked south of market affordable housing for 41 years. we do have generational households in all our buildings, even senior housing. it's the three a lot of life in sareality of life.i would appreg continued on the c.a.c. i think i've been there four years. it's a vital group.

next year will be important because a fair amount of the central soma plant implementation will actually come to that c.a.c. for a input from the community. much more to do next year than in past years. i would appreciate very much. i do live on folsom street for 22 years too. i appreciate your support. >> quick question. how is your attendance? >> i believe i've made all but one meeting. >> you missed one? [laughter] >> they're both reappointments. >> ok. >> thank you, we'll call you back up if you have other questions. >> please come up to the mic. >> you are on camera and this is for later. >> sorry. i did miss two meetings for work

event that i had to attend. one was my own event was it was a fundraiser and it happened to be that night. now that it's meeting a block from my home it's fairly easy for me to get there. >> how often are the meetings? >> they're 90 minutes i believe is our agenda? >> how often. >> once a month. >> ok. >> we have one tomorrow. >> ok, great. >> any other questions? seeing none. supervisor yee. >> i'll go ahead and make the motion to -- >> i believe we need to have public comment. >> any members of the public wish to comment on this item come forward. seeing none, public comment is closed. >> i'll make a motion to a point daniel halak to receive one and john eberling to seat 6 with a positive recommendation to the full board. >> great.

we can do that without objection. call the last item. >> item number 7, hearing to consider a pointing one member term ending july 12,020th to the children youth and their family oversight and advisory committee. there's one seat and two applicants. >> unless there's any initial comments can we hear from naddia sharif. hello. good afternoon supervisors. my name is naddia sharif and i am a san francisco native. thank you for the opportunity for having me here today. i am extremely excited about the possible opportunities to serve on this board. as i am really passion at about working to improve outcomes for youth. just in general really passionate about the work that i do as an advocate. i have committed my life to advocating for policies and

funding for programs that improve outcomes for children in youth. over the past 13 years, i've worked diligently to ensure that varied experiences of youth, particularly paid youth are represented at policy and decision-making tables. i'm excited to know there's a seat filled on this committee. as a youth who grew up here in san francisco, i've participated in many youth leadership development programs funded by dcyl as well as work at several community-based organizations here funded by dcyf. my primary reason to wanting to serve on this board is just to ensure that the most vulnerable populations have exits and resources to opportunities by seeing that the community organization that's do the most effective work and saying the highest needs population continue to receive funding. >> great. >> any questions?

>> so your current work, i guess, is out of san francisco state. >> yes, i work for an on campus supported program for current and former foster youth. >> is it like a mentor-type program? >> it is a case management program. so we provide academic support, socially motional support, and over all just provide a safe environment for youth. or for foster youth. so that support comes in the way of just being there as a listening ear. opening up opportunities for them to fund their education. we support not only undergraduate students but graduate students as well. >> in your opinion, what's the greatest need for youth in san

francisco if. >> the greatest need? i would say probably access to quality and affordable housing. being that i was born and raised here, graduated, went to college. had i not been on my grandmother's lease and kind of got grandmotherred in but i'm not sure what the exact term is, i probably wouldn't be -- i know i wouldn't be able to afford to live in this city. i am a recipient of subsidized housing. i notice even with a lot of our students, their number one concern after college unfortunately is not getting a good-paying job but it's like, finding stable, secure housing. >> how does dcyf play no this? >> i think dcyf plays into this

by one, supporting programs that help young people reach a level of self-sufficien self-sufficiey reach 18. and also -- the biggest piece is the actual funding for these type of self-sufficiency leadership programs. as i mentioned, i've participated in many programs as a youth myself and found that those who are doing magnificent work often don't have the longevity because there's no money. >> thank you. >> any other questions?

>> thank you. call the next applicant. >> ms. powell. >> welcome back. >> thank you. hello supervisors. my name is joanna powell, i'm a candidate for dcyf seat 11. thank you for making time to hear from me and sticking around to the very end. i am interested in serving because dcyf's mission of improving outcomes for children and youth has been the corner stone of my adult life. after graduating from college where i major in poly sigh with a focus on inequality i was a second grade esl teacher in the broncs which was an eye-opening experience. it showed me how amazing and resilient students and their families were and how broken the systems were that we're supposed to be serving them. to make a bigger impact i went to law school where i focused on education law and policy. after graduating i clerk fo cled for a general judge and council council to school districts. i provide advise on all policy and legal issues that the

districts encounter. which their public agencies so you are probably familiar with a lot of them but also school district-specific issues like special education, student discipline and teacher administrator employment disputes as well as litigation. when not at work, i volunteer as a tutor and serve as vice president of the san francisco charter school. you should have a couple of letters of support from folks there. i believe that the result of my passion, experiences and skills, i have alberta to offer. i was asked to speak about my goals for the dcyf and i don't have the full context and perspective. based on the meetings i've attended and other conversations i've had, it seems as though communications with service providers is an area for improvement. i understand there was some confusion with time lines and requirements and connection with the switch to a five-year funding cycle and also at the september meeting, the service provider working group raised a concern regarding lack of

communication over the switch to a new data base and invoicing software. the last thing i wanted to mention is my connection to san francisco. of course, those people who grew up here have a very special and i remember replacement able leadership with the city. before san francisco i lived in every major city in the u.s. when i graduated from law school and it was time to start the rest of my life i chose sf because i love it here. and i want to make my chosen city better. >> thank you. >> ok. >> supervisor yee. >> so, you rattled off a lot of things. which is fine. if you were part of the oversight committee, what would you try to work on? so, as i mentioned, i have been to a few o.f. meetings and i found it to be in general a very functional organization. the meetings were efficiently

run and they do a lot to try to bring in the service providers into the process. so they have a service provider working it seems as though it's difficult to ensure that messages are getting across clearly from dcyf to the service providers and i think it's critical to dcyf. the service providers are on the ground serving children. that was what i noticed. based on my experience so far, that's what i focus on. they adopted a committee structure where they have a communications committee that seems like a prime opportunity to focus on this issue. >> what do you think dcys role is with the school district? >> education in general? >> my understanding is that they are providing wrap-around services. they do everything outside of school that children need.

they have focus on early education, after school. they focus on preparing kids for college and career readiness and they work with sfusd and make sure kids show up at school ready to learn and everything outside of their lives is supportive of that. >> what do you think the greatest challenge for our high school youth would be? >> i heard you ask that questions earlier and thought it was hard. there are so many. obviously housing. i think violence. in my work, i see a lot of kids with special needs. as i mentioned i'm an education lawyer and i represent school districts. i attend i.e.p. meetings and that is a group that i see that i think is consistently under served and misunderstood. so that personally is what i see as a great area of need and it's hard to say if it's the

greatest. >> you have a child add edson. >> i am a board member at edson. >> ok. you are a board member. >> i'm the vice president of the board at edson. >> you don't have a child? >> i do not have a child at all. >> ok. [laughter] >> i didn't mean to ask that. >> that's interesting. >> the edson board has certain seats for parents but i am not filling one of those seats. >> why did you chose it or someone asked you? >> it was similar to this. i just wanted to get involved. i live on market so it's in my neighborhood and i thought second grade so i wanted to get involved in a school and it was one of the largest charter schools that serves t.k. to eight so it seemed like a good fit. and i like it. >> thank you. >> i have a question.

have you reached out to dcyf and attended any of the meetings? >> i went to a meeting last july. so july of 2017. i was feeling like i wanted to get more involved and so i went to a meeting then. it seemed like it wasn't the right time for me. i was about to take on a new job i have now. i wanted to make sure i had the capacity to do it. i applied in dog. i meet with dory and the executive director and attended the september meeting. the most recent meeting. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> and i note -- i know that you had applied originally for another seat not in this particular body. office of early childhood education so you definitely have shown your desire to serve in some capacity. i wanted to remind the committee members of that.

ms. sharif, can i ask you a question. i don't know if supervisor yee asked this question. have you reached out to dcyf and attended any of the meetings? >> i have not attended any of the meetings. >> thank you. >> all right. ones again. >> it's always a tough decision. >> any members of the public wish to comment. please come forward. it would be good to hear from you. that would be great. >> dori. >> hi, dori. dcyf. i just wanted to note i did reach out to naddia sharif when we learned about her application. we had a great phone conversation yesterday. she has a lot of familiarity with dcyf as a program participant, staff member and advocate to i wanted to note that with the three of you. >> have you also spoken with ms.

>> yes, i did. we met in-person. i answered a lot of questions she had about dcyf and i invited her to attend a meeting and set up a meet and greet with our director maria sue as well. >> she did that. >> yes. >> ok. >> ok. >> thank you. >> any comments so far? >> well, this is the last item. you guys are not making it easy. you are both great, by the way. can we have another seat? i really. i think both of you would be an asset to the committee.

i think i'm in favor of, again, depending on how my colleagues feel, i can go either way. if i had to make a choice and it looks like i might have to make a choice, listening to the two present and answering the questions that i felt ms. powell was able to answer the questions more thoroughly to my liking. in terms of understanding the scope of what dcyf does and who it serves. both of you seem to be very active so that's also equalized on that. the slight edge ms. powell has for me would be her knowledge of what she does and some in sight into how it can be improved.

i would nominate her. >> i agree. the reason i wanted to state for the record ms. powell had been here for another committee. she's shown her desire to serve and that is not to take nick away from ms. sharif. i think your experiences and what you are putting forward also, i would encourage you to apply for something else. we have a lot of opportunities to serve. your experiences having gren up and the experiences you have and also the work you do, i think the transitional age youth population and those experiences are really important to this body and really important to the board of supervisors in general. i would also like to acknowledge that the fact when we often say please stay engage and apply again and come back. it's not that often we actually

see someone do that. so i want to acknowledge ms. powell when we say it we mean it. i actually had applied a long time ago to be on the commission and was rejected the first time. even though i probably had more experience than anybody else in early education. it was political for some people. i was encouraged and i went back and applied again and appointed. it does help to stay engaged. >> thank you. ok. can we entertain a motion >> my motion is to apoint ms. powell to seat number 1.

seat number 11. >> seat number 11. send it out with positive recommendation to the full board. >> ok. we can do that without object sex. object objection. >> any other items. >> no further items. >> motion to adjourn. >> >> usf donates 100-120 pounds of food a night.

for the four semesters we have been running here, usf has donated about 18,000 pounds of food to the food recovery network. ♪ ♪ >> i'm maggie. >> i'm nick. >> we're coe-chairs of the national led organization. what food recovery does is recover and redistribute food that would go wasted and redistributing to people in the community. >> the moment that i became really engaged in the cause of

fighting food waste was when i had just taken the food from the usf cafeteria and i saw four pans full size full of food perfectly fine to be eaten and made the day before and that would have gone into the trash that night if we didn't recover it the next day. i want to fight food waste because it hurts the economy, it's one of the largest emitters of greenhouse gases in the world. if it was a nation, it would be the third largest nation behind china and the united states. america wastes about 40% of the food we create every year, $160 billion worth and that's made up in the higher cost of food for consumers. no matter where you view the

line, you should be engaged with the issue of food waste. ♪ ♪ >> access edible food that we have throughout our lunch program in our center, i go ahead and collect it and i'll cool it down and every night i prep it up and the next day i'll heat it and ready for delivery. it's really natural for me, i love it, i'm passionate about it and it's just been great. i believe it's such a blessing to have the opportunity to actually feed people every day. no food should go wasted. there's someone who wants to eat, we have food, it's definitely hand in hand and it

shouldn't be looked at as work or a task, we're feeding people and it really means so much to me. i come to work and they're like nora do you want this, do you want that? and it's so great and everyone is truly involved. every day, every night after every period of food, breakfast, lunch, dinner, i mean, people just throw it away. they don't even think twice about it and i think as a whole, as a community, as any community, if people just put a little effort, we could really help each other out. that's how it should be. that's what food is about basically. >> an organization that meets is the san francisco knight ministry we work with tuesday and thursday's.

♪ ♪ by the power ♪ of your name >> i have faith to move mountains because i believe in jesus. >> i believe it's helpful to offer food to people because as you know, there's so much homelessness in san francisco and california and the united states. i really believe that food is important as well as our faith. >> the san francisco knight ministry has been around for 54 years. the core of the ministry, a group of ordain ministers, we go out in the middle of the night

every single night of the year, so for 54 years we have never missed a night. i know it's difficult to believe maybe in the united states but a lot of our people will say this is the first meal they've had in two days. i really believe it is a time between life or death because i mean, we could be here and have church, but, you know, i don't know how much we could feed or how many we could feed and this way over 100 people get fed every single thursday out here. it's not solely the food, i tell you, believe me. they're extremely grateful. >> it's super awesome how welcoming they are. after one or two times they're like i recognize you.

how are you doing, how is school? i have never been in the city, it's overwhelming. you get to know people and through the music and the food, you get to know people. >> we never know what impact we're going to have on folks. if you just practice love and kindness, it's a labor of love and that's what the food recovery network is and this is a huge -- i believe they salvage our mission. >> to me the most important part is it's about food waste and feeding people. the food recovery network national slogan is finding ways to feed people. it's property to bring the scientific and human element into the situation.
