>> the 100% attendance for our mediators who are able to get some training in terms of subject matter expertise, doing the work that we do in public safety with our mediation cases. any way, so that's the outreach. i have a substantive announcement in terms of the work that we do, before the quarterly report. in terms of the work that we do, this is the first time ever that we have hit this new milestone, that the average caseload is now 14 cases perinvestigator, which is a big deal for our agency. it's been well over 20 cases for a number of years. this time last year, it was at

23. so the most recent report that had been critical of the agency a few years ago talked about the best practices number for the investigators. we've never been at that number. i believe it was 16 perinvestigator, so this is the first time we have been there, and -- as long as anyone who's been keeping records, where we are actually at the property caseload for the investigators. we're still in the process of bringing in investigators. this number was achieved by bringing in the latest wave of investigators, having them trained and having been finally able to spread out the cases appropriately. the other big milestone for the agency is our average case closure has finally dropped significantly in terms of the length of time that the investigators are able to complete their investigations. we are currently at 140 days for the average case closure.

that's 4.5 months. this time last year, we were at 266 days, which is over nine months, and the numbers were bigger than that in past years. so we are becoming more professional in addressing the length of time that it takes for us to both investigate our cases and the inclusion of 343 cases where the organization

lost jurisdiction, so that number's even bigger if we count those cases. and again, as a reminder, we have had no 3304 cases since i came on in july. we've been able to address those. in terms of the -- it's been included in the material, and i think this is the second part of the report. the monthly stats, what we've done in the past as i read them -- and i think i announced this last year -- or last month, that we were no longer going to be doing the older reports that you guys were used to getting the e-mails on, the ten-page summary with a number of charts, but i want to walk-through a little bit about what the new charts are, how they are and what they mean. we made a number of important

changes. many of the reports that are duplicitous. all of the charts will have all the same information, just new reports. what we've added is a side by side comparison of the cases that have been received each month versus last year. we've also added a five year comparison to add more information and greater transparency about the work that's been done. we've also divided how the complaints have been received into color coded tree graphs. i don't know if you can see, it's in color, but it's in black and white. you just have to trust me. i'm color blind, but it's -- trust me, it's in color.

trust the color blind guy. they tell me it's in color. i believe them. hopefully, they're telling me the truth. the other thing we did was we took out the dispositional sustain complaints -- well, we didn't take it out, but it's in the quarterly report. you're having a more thorough analysis in the quarterly reports, and we're going to go over those in a second, as well. the other thing, we want to give more explanation, we're looking at the 1421 compliance to figure out what we're allowed to put in that information, so that's a flag for what's to come. the other big thing that's important i think is our six month goal.

in the next six months, what i'm trying to do is get all this information available on-line on an interactive on-line dashboard, so you'll be able to click on the graphs and filter by date to see the number and types of complaints that are filed whenever you want. i will note what i did not change or modify was the information about the types of cases or complaints that are coming in so you can still see all of that information. you're not losing any information from what we've presented. in the pa -- presented in the past. it's just a little bit hopefully easier to read. i'll leave that to you to see if that's true, but everything you looked for in the reports should still all be there. and just by recognizing that if anyone has commentary about the

organization here present in the room are two of my staff, who are here and able to answer questions, as well, for anyone. >> thank you. that wasn't that long. commissioner elias? >> commissioner elias: thank you. i do like the visuals. one thing i was going to ask, i had asked last time numbers with respect to -- and i don't know if this was going to be in the quarterly report, but sort of your recommendations when it comes to discipline and then what happens when it goes to the chief and how you're tracking that data because i think that data is very important for us to also analysis -- analyze and review. >> that's going to be in the quarterly data, and it's going to have tracking discrepancies versus what was reported and what was ultimately decided onto the agree versus what i recommended and the department imposed. >> commissioner elias: yes -- yeah. >> commissioner mazzucco: commissioner hamasaki.

>> director henderson, regarding outreach, have you or anyone in your office done anything to coordinate -- looking down this dais at all of our criminal defense and prosecutors, have you coordinated with the public defender's office and district attorney's office to help distribute materials to people that are on the front lines, the victims, witnesses, defendants in the system? it would seem like those are some people that definitely had an interaction, maybe positive, maybe negative, just neutral. >> i'm glad you asked that because i forgot to talk about it. it was on here, and i forgot because it just happened today. so today, d.p.a. staff went out to the public defender's office and made those presentations and did a training for the entire staff out there about both how

the organization works and how complaints and information can be sent to the d.p.a. i will say that -- that same thing was already done or is included in the m.o.u. that the organization drafted and signed with the district attorney's office, as well. so i think there's still some -- some areas that i'd like to flush out in the future, both with the courts, because i think there's an opportunity for us to have, if nothing else, a better relationship about how each other is operating and when there are instances for us to work together and share information. but literally, it just happened a few hours ago. they just finished it. >> great and are they provided with the materials to distribute? >> they were left with material both for the organization and for them to share with their clients. >> thank you. >> that's why -- it just

happened a couple of hourgz. that's why i forgot. >> thank you. i can remember as a young d.a., the o.c.c. and the public defender's office shared the same building, it was one stop shopping. their public defender's would send them down stairs, and they would make a complaint against the police officer, and one would wonder about that motivation, so i just wanted to put that on the record, they would meet with the public defender and literally walk down stairs and file their complaint. >> there were issues that came up that many of the public defenders had and wanted to know, like whether or not they had to make their client available for interview when and if they could say information and what would happen to their clients. >> it was interesting dynamic. >> that was years ago, i mean, right? >> it was a long time ago. >> thank you, commissioner

elias. yeah, long before. >> i did have one other thing to mention in case i didn't mention it during the changes that we were making, these files and forms that you were getting contained some obsolete information that is no longer relevant, the old one. used to contain information like complaints that had been withdrawn and they were tracking weird stuff. these forms and reports have not been updated to this commission in over ten years, so i just wanted to give some context to -- >> commissioner mazzucco: i just want to put on the record, commissioner dejesus, who was in the public defender's office at that time, did refer clients to the o.c.c. >> thank you very much. >> commissioner mazzucco: thank you. please call next line item. >>clerk: commissioner items and

reports. commissioner discussion will be limited to any issues raised for a future meeting. commissioner's reports, commission president's reports. >> commissioner mazzucco: i don't have anything to report. commissioners? call the next line item. >>clerk: commission announcements, line items, ideas for future meetings. >> commissioner mazzucco: do we have an announcement? >>clerk: we do. next week, the commission will be attending the sfpd commission of valor at 6:00 p.m. the commission will be dark for november 21 and november 28 and meet again here at city hall december 5, 2018, room 400, at 5:30. >> commissioner mazzucco: thank you. commissioner hirsch? >> commissioner hirsch: yes, thank you. we received yesterday a 96-a report, the quarterly report,

and it's 130 pages long, and there's an executive summary that's about 19 pages long. i find that stuff fascinating. it's important data for us. it has arrest data, it has use of force data, it has the demographics of the population that's involved, it has the demographics of the police officers. and i know the department had gone to an outside agency, maybe a university, to help us analyze that. and i'm really anxious to hear a report on that. i need help -- because there's some data in here that's really promising, and i think there's data in here that's disturbing, and i really can't decipher it. so i hope we can get somebody in the next meeting or the meeting after that that can come and make a presentation on 96-a. the other request i'd make is we get it more than a day in advance of the meeting. i'm reading it now as i go

along. i read the executive report earlier this morning, but i'm reading the full report now, but i need help. >> commissioner mazzucco: if we can put that in the second meeting in december. i know when it came in the mail, it was 3 megabytes. >> chief, do we now have a university group that has given us an opinion or an evaluation of the reports? [inaudible] >> it would be great to hear either from them or somebody in your department who has the expertise to explain what they've received, but i'd really like to hear from somebody to

help us decipher what we're seeing. >> we can definitely do that. >> commissioner mazzucco: thank you. commissioner hamasaki. >> commissioner hamasaki: thank you, president mazzucco. i'd like to schedule a hearing to discuss what the department is doing to address and combat the rise and the proliveration of white nationalism and right wing violence in our community. we've seen a lot of things at the national level, the terrorist bombings that were sent to our local politicians, including kamala harris. we've had a synagogue massacre of our jewish brothers and sisters. i know we had a some incidents a few years back relating to some demonstrations, and i think there was an article in the new york times a few days ago about

law enforcement's addressing white nationalism. i'd like to hear what the department's doing to address this, obviously, within the confines of dgoa 10 of course, but i'd like to hear that. >> commissioner mazzucco: when would be a good time to schedule that? it would be when our special investigations unit would be involved, along with the f.b.i. >> yes. we can do that through operations and f.o.b. >> commissioner mazzucco: okay. maybe we can do that along the 5th of december? [inaudible] >> commissioner mazzucco: all right. commissioner dejesus? >> commissioner dejesus: and i'm sure the people saw that the building 606 raised its head again, the e.p.a. said the navy is using antiquated or obsolete

technique for testing, and that they don't trust it and they're very upset with the navy. i did discuss it with commissioner mazzucco, and we were going to put it on today, but i think we're going to delay that and have it a little bit down the road so we can find out what we're doing, and if we're able to move our personnel there. given the fact that the two government agencies, they're having a discussion, and given the fact that the e.p.a. is very concerned about the obsolete way it's being tested. >> am, and we were still working, still waiting on some testing results. but in the meantime, we're preparing for that report, so -- >> commissioner mazzucco: i will say i did speak to the chief and the p.o.a. about it, and suffice it to say, it's not ripe for tonight, but there are plans being put in place to do what's necessary. >> commissioner dejesus: and also distributing the information to the beat officers. when we visited the local district stations, that was a concern that some of the

officers had. that question arose, and commissioner hamasaki and i -- it was after the meeting where commissioner mazzucco and commissioner dejesus had addressed some of the issues and we had a presentation, so i just want to make sure that information is being trickled down to the local district stations so they have that information with respect to the status of the building. >> commissioner mazzucco: and also present with us is matt brave with the p.o.a. regarding that situation. anything further? please call public comment. >>clerk: public comment on items 3 a through 3d? mr. jones? >> good evening. my name is john jones. i'd like to comment briefly, if i may, on commander lozar's

report. i mean none of this discourteously. an alternate strategy is described in michael moore's movie. i don't remember the name of the movie, but he went around to various countries around the world, and one country he went to, as i recall, was portugal. and there, they don't use the criminal justice system to deal with drugs, and there was some information how it worked, and it worked out well. i'll get the name of the movie if you're interested. commander lozar's report i think leaves out various aspects of the drug situation. the burden of incarceration, our government activity supports high drug crisis, and most importantly and rarely

mentioned, the chaos inflicted on mexico by american drug habits. but one thing that this -- commander lozar's report cannot describe because it is indescribable is how good this drug makes you feel. i had an operation maybe 30 years ago, and i had access to demerol, synthetic heroin, and let me tell you, the first time i had a shot of demerol, i knew immediately why people would live that lifestyle just to get access to that drug. i think it is unreasonable to request a typical -- [inaudible] >> -- not to get access to heroin if in fact it were available. >> commissioner mazzucco: thank you very much. any further public comment? >> thank you.

>> commissioner mazzucco: hearing none, public comment's now closed. please call the next line item. >>clerk: item four, discussion and possible action to recommend that the board of supervisors adopt a resolution authorizing the chief of police to accept and expend a grant in the amount of $5,304,000 from the bureau of justice statistics to implement the national incident based reporting system for sfpd action, and i would like to announce that director mcguire's powerpoint was made available to the commission just prior to the start of the meeting. there are copies here for the public, and the commission will post this powerpoint on its website tomorrow morning. >> commissioner mazzucco: good evening, mr. mcguire -- director mcguire. >> vice president mazzucco, chief, members of the department. my name is kathrin mcguire, i'm

the chief financial officer for the police department, and i am glad to meet all of the new commissioners. you'll be seeing me coming this new budget season and perhaps sooner. today, we are asking for your consideration in the process to move forward to an accept and expend process with the board of supervisors to accept a $5.3 million grant from the bureau of justice statistics in order to get the department compliant with the new nivrs system. so with that, i'm going to give you a previous overview of what that is, the resources that will be needed to comply, and then of course, lastly, a little bit about the grant that we applied for and have been awarded to get to compliance. so nivrs in general is going to

be the u.c.i. replacement. this system, nibrs, national incident based reporting system, will be replacing that method. so it is incident based rather than summary based, so when we submit reporting to the federal government, our reporting is tallied up into categories and submitted as a package, as a total number. and so in this case, we would actually be sending every incident that happened and some of the high-level information about those incidents to the federal government rather than a summed total. this -- nibrs is always all offenses -- all offenses in an incident based system.

this is all very technical, so when we send a crime to the f.b.i., we are tallying only the most severe crime that happened in any incident, and many crimes may have actually occurred in each incident. so you may have an assault and theft and many other things that occur in one incident, but we only send the most severe type of crime when we report. so how does nibrs help the department? eventually, it allows for more granularity. it allows for better data collection which allows us to better analyze data in the long run. and then, the question becomes how do we implement this? so the resources that we really need are we need a lot of planning and -- 'cause we don't

know what we don't know yet, and one of the things we need to do is assess the impact to both our crime data warehouse and our records management systems of varying types and sizes, and we have to be able to then design a business process as well as design a system that then will being compliant with nibrs. so get back to our system and other systems, i'm referring to other agency systems that plug into our system. so juvenile probation, for instance, has a system that connects to us. we would need to understand how nibrs affects us and the system and, say, juvenile probation. and then, the protection side, we would also need systems development, and this -- as you can imagine, planning is going

to be a very big component of this grant. and the actual systems development once the planning is over should be relatively easy. the testing and go live also is another component that we would need resources to get us fully compliant. so this grant that we have been awarded gets us there. it gets us essentially all of the things that i just listed out -- the planning, the scoping, the business design, the actual development of our system, it gets us those things. so the total being $5.3 million. it is over the next three years, going from october 2018 to september 2021. and that's the general -- just

the high level information about this grant. some other information is we believe that this is the last year that this funding will be available, so the ex-banding this money at the federal -- expanding this money at the federal level. finally, this is a contribution of nongeneral fund dollars that we don't have to -- we have now obtained. we've obtained this money, we've been awarded it. if we were to go and ask these funds from the general fund or from the city, the chances of us getting the money is a little -- we're competing for a lot of technology dollars all around the city, so this $5.3 million really represents a significant investment for the police department. and then, finally, the things that are in scope and out of scope. finally, all of the implementation things listed

above, and out of scope are any development required in other departments. as i said, we don't know what we don't know yet. the grant helps us understand what we don't know yet, as well as actually doing the development in the police department. with that, i will conclude. >> commissioner mazzucco: commissioner hamasaki. >> commissioner hamasaki: any concerns, downsides to accepting this or any limitations on the funds, other than the ones you mentioned, that in scope and out of scope? >> i'm not aware of any limitations or downsides. we are looking at all of the terms and conditions and doing a final review of the terms and conditions in the grant agreement. >> commissioner hamasaki: thank you.

>> commissioner mazzucco: commissioner hirsch? >> commissioner hirsch: last year funding means going forward, you're going to have to go and ask city hall for money, and the costs will increase or remain the same incrementally. >> that's correct. >> commissioner hirsch: so this is not something that we will be -- that will be getting less expensive going forward? >> that's correct hirsch hirs. >> commissioner hirsch: that's a problem going forward. >> yes. technology seems to get more expensive as we go along. >> commissioner hirsch: is the current funding being cut because of the administration in washington or you're not sure? >> i think nibrs, there is a deadline of 2020. i really couldn't speak to what the logic at the federal level was on this particular funding stream. >> commissioner hirsch: okay. thanks. >> commissioner mazzucco: any further questions? do i have a motion to accept $5.3 million for our reporting,

which is actually required by the d.o.j.? >> so moved. >> commissioner mazzucco: do i have a second? >> second. >> commissioner mazzucco: is there any public comment regarding these funds? hearing none, public comment is closed. all in favor? [voting] >> commissioner mazzucco: thank you very much. please call the next item. [agenda item read] >> commissioner mazzucco: good evening, mr. jones. >> i'd like to allude briefly,

if i may, to the iacp police chief community police policing strategic plan, which was introduced last week. the plan is flawed, and it's flawed for a basic reason by city government and government in general. that is if the society that you're dealing with lacks social capital, the way to improve that social capital is not through the action of government, especially the police department what this plan describes is how members of the san francisco police department interacts with the community. it is fraught with failure.

that's not what police departments are for. i'd like to make a comment with regard to folks who live in the tenderloin. if you're dealing with someone whose life has devolved, living on government grants on skid row, it is not reasonable to expect that person to abstain from the use of illegal drugs. >> commissioner mazzucco: thank you, mr. jones. is there any other public comment? hearing none, public comment is now closed. please call the next item.

[agenda item read] >> commissioner mazzucco: any public comment regarding our closed session matter? hearing none, public comment on closed session is now closed. next item. [agenda item read] >> commissioner mazzucco: do i have a motion? >> so moved. >> second? >> second. >> commissioner mazzucco: all in favor? [voting] >> commissioner mazzucco: thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen. we're now moving to closed session. >>clerk: commissioner, we're back on the record in open session, and you still have a quorum. >> commissioner mazzucco: all right. please call the next line item.

[agenda item read] >> commissioner mazzucco: do i have a motion for nondisclosure? so moved. >> second. >> commissioner mazzucco: all in favor? [voting] >> commissioner mazzucco: okay. thank you very much, please call the last line item. [agenda item read] >> motion. >> commissioner mazzucco: all in favor? aye. [voting] thank you very much. >> commissioner hamasaki

>> the hon. london breed: well, i know the road to get here wasn't easy, but we all came together to make sure that we provide the support that will make hopefully a difference in what you receive in your paychecks. this discussion started over a year ago at the board of supervisors and it's one that i'm committed to. thanks to the tireless work and dedication of everyone here today, we now have an ordinance that will create a path to success for those who take care of our most vulnerable communities. this starts first with our in home support services workers. these are people who support our

seniors and persons with disabilities so they can remain in their homes and in their communities. they help with tasks that we often take for granted, like getting groceries or taking a bath or going to the doctor. i know personally about the importance of this difficult work and how challenging it can be. it was in home support services workers who took care of my grandmother when she could no longer take care of herself. we have more than 20,000 workers who support 22,000 low-income seniors and people with disabilities in san francisco. and if it was not for this important work, these individuals do every day so many of our seniors and difficults living with disabilities would not be able to stay in their homes and get the care that we know they need. in addition to our in home

support services workers, we have many nonprofit organizations who provide essential services in san francisco to those of all income levels and backgrounds. this ranges from homelessness to workforce development, housing, domestic violence prevention to child care and so many others. these workers are on the front lines of taking care of our most vulnerable communities, our in home support services and nonprofit workers provided tremendous support and care for so many throughout san francisco, but they often are paid the least and, like so many of our residents, are too often struggling to get by in an expensive city like san francisco. san francisco has always demonstrated a commitment in supporting our lowest wage workers. when the governor significantly reduced financial support to counties for in home support

services programs, san francisco stepped up to fill in that gap. we have led the way in raising our minimum wage to one of the highest in the country, and we are continuing that leadership today with this legislation. the negotiations were difficult, very difficult, and they were long, but that's because we all knew the importance of making sure that everyone had a seat at the able in this conversation. as a result, we have an ordinance that reflects our commitment in taking care of what are the lowest wage earners in san francisco and moving them to a better place although we know they deserve a lot more. our in home support service workers will see a wage increase of $3.75 from their current wage over the course of next five years. [applause]

>> the hon. london breed: the minimum ordinance will also raise the wages of our cities, contracted nonprofit workers for $1.50 over their current wage effective july 1 of 2019. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: and we should also mention the minimum compensation ordinance and how it's impacted the airport workers and their increase. this is part of my commitment as mayor to make sure that all san franciscans have equal access to opportunities and can live in the communities they serve. san francisco has some of the highest paying jobs in the nation, but we need to make sure that our economic success doesn't leave low and middle-income families behind. by harnessing our thriving economy, we can lift up those communities who have been left behind for far too long and give them opportunities to succeed.

this includes investing in why we are here today, and i am just really grateful for your hard work and the work that you continue to do to take care of so many of our elderly and disabled folks throughout san francisco. and at this time, i'd like to bring up supervisor sandy fewer, who was a lead sponsor on this legislation. [applause] >> supervisor fewer: thank you, mayor breed. i'd like to thank a couple of people here today that actually helped to make this happen. of course our labor partners and their leaders here today. suiu 1021 and 1015. without their urging and direction, i don't think this would have happened, and their tenacity, actually to stay at the table. i'd also like to thank my cosponsors, supervisor ronen, yee, and kim, and to recognize with us today supervisor jeff

sheehy who actually started this conversation. [applause] >> supervisor fewer: and then, i would also like to take a moment to thank our mayor, mayor breed, and her wonderful staff who came back again and again and again at the table to come to an agreement to serve these workers in san francisco. i am honored to have helped create this legislation and to be part of this historic moment. this legislation is important for three reasons: one, the immediate relief that it will give to over 20,000 of our low wage workers. these workers who take care of our elderly, our disabled, people who staff our nonprofits, they are struggling to make ends meet in this city, and who are they? they make $15 an hour in our city. the average age of 58 years old, and 78% of them are women, and

almost 80% of them are people of color. they are on the verge of homelessness themselves. second, this legislation demonstrates that we value this workforce. they do important necessary work that binds our community together, at that allows our seniors and disabled to age in their own homes and with greater health out comes and also to greater mobility. and so i think it's so important that this legislation actually lifts up the work that they do, and the city as a whole recognizes how important that work is. and third, this reinforces our commitment to seniors and people with disabilities, children and their families, and we are planning for the future of our senior population that will increase 69% from 2010 to 2030. this, to be frank, is not a living wage in san francisco. this will give workers some relief, but this is definitely not a living wage in san

francisco. we are experiencing the largest wealth gap that we have ever had historically in san francisco, and these workers will continue to struggle as they do their hard work. this legislation today actually gives them some relief, but let's just be frank. it is not a living wage here in san francisco. i think it's important to do this, because this is the right thing to do. in a city where the economy is booming, where some of our low-income and moderate wage workers wh workers should have a piece of the pie. we don't leave anyone in this city behind, people who makeup the fabric of what san francisco is and who we are. this is a bold statement, and i just want to honor everyone who was at the table and thank you to mayor breed and her staff once again for coming to this agreement. i'd like to take a moment, also, to introduce my colleague, hillary ronen, who was so

instrumental working with me on this legislation. supervisor ronen? [applause] >> supervisor ronen: thank you so much, supervisor fewer. i just wanted to make two quick points. thank you to the mayor. one of your biggest budget commitments that you've made to this workforce says a lot about your values, and we just want to thank you so much for that incredible, incredible commitment. and then, number two, this piece of legislation really shows and reminds us what san francisco is all about. not only do we do the morally right thing by our incredible workers who give so much love and support to our seniors and our homeless population, and so many who are struggling to survive here in san francisco, but this legislation is smart planning. we have an exploding senior population in san francisco, and we don't have the infrastructure

to take care of this population. we have a homeless crisis raging in our streets, and we depend on nonprofits who aren't able to hire the workforce to take care of those struggling the most. this legislation is so forward thinking, and that's what san francisco is known for. we have the heart but also the brain to do the right thing and to think about our future. so congratulations, everyone. this is a wonderful, wonderful day, and a huge round of applause to my colleague, supervisor fewer, who is a fighter through and through. and it was so fun to work with her on this lemgislation. >> supervisor fewer: and now i'd like to introduce from the labor council rudy gonzales. [applause] >> good morning. i have to tell you that there are a lot of things that are left unfinished. it's important, coming from the labor movement where miners and

long shore men were murdered in this city for standing together. wow, is it a sign of the times that our workers were able to stand together from electricians to teachers, airport workers, everybody stood shoulder to shoulder to make sure this important legislation was realized. i want to take a moment to recognize the leadership of our labor council. without their leadership and mentorship of this council, we wouldn't have been able to do this. we're used to be attacked, or used to being the resistance in a moment of resistance. it's okay to celebrate these wins. we have a lot of thing that we disagree on policy wise, but this is a statement of value, and a time to celebrate because the lowest paid people in our city are getting the attention and commitment of this fine government, and this is an example of people coming to a table with leadership, an initiative that was started 18

months, when some people weren't even in elected office at the time and coming together and saying we're going to pick up the pieces, we're going to do our hard work and commit our staff, our hard work, our budget, and our values to the people who need it the most. when i say the people who need it most, i want to talk about the clients. we talk about our ageing population, but there are disabled children that need care. some of the most null verbal in our city who need -- vulnerable in our city who need addiction treatment and housing services and supportsive services, they're being supported not only by our city workers in our city, but our nonprofit workers. i want to take a moment to recognize the incredible leadership of our mayor, mayor breed, who took this issue head on. [applause] >> supervisors fewer and ronen and supervisor yee, and everyone who voted to support this.

supervisor kim, obviously. without people at the team and everybody in the supervisors' office who are dedicated to seeing this thing through, and all the courageous workers, that would not have been possible. i want to introduce you to one of the courageous workers, one of the people who gets this work done, claudia, will you join me? claudia is a 25 year inhome health worker, and i wanted to let her say a few words about what she does. >> yeah. [speaking spanish language]

[applause] [speaking spanish language] >> i also want to recognize the incredible and fierce leadership of several boards of supervisors who because of their leadership, we were able to get to this

final deal. i feel like as a home care service worker that finally our work is being recognized, that we do have dignity and respect. [applause] [speaking spanish language] >> i remember when mayor breed met with many of us workers of home care, and she actually has a home care story, as well, and she understands how difficult this work is, so i was not surprised when she made a decision to support this legislation. [applause]

[speaking spanish language] >> and i just want to remind everyone, without a doubt, this has a tremendous impact on the roughly 20,000 home care providers here in san francisco, but the day after the election, this also sends a message that the city and county of san francisco has created a new standard for home care providers. that message will be sent across the country, across the region and throughout the state of california. thank you, si se puede.
