accept a $100,000 grant. it will help with our survey of on-demand workers. this will be the first time in history of san francisco lavco that the agency accepts outside funding. we will be able to develop partnerships with outside funders to support the work we do at lavco. it is made up of funders, workers, advocates, and employers, who are working together to build an equitable regional economy. the san francisco foundation, as i'm sure you know, is one of the largest community foundations in the country, and committed to expanding opportunity. and when i first met and presented to them, they were really excited about the study.

the grant is going to support the survey team's work in phase 2, which is the actual data-gathering and survey of thousands of on-demand workers in san francisco. not only will it be one of the largest surveys, we're hoping it will provide the first truly representative survey of platform work anywhere in the country. we're going to get some unique insights into the economic circumstances of people working on these platforms. i'll be getting into a little more detail in my executive officers' report. i just want to thank rob hope and kaila at the san francisco foundation, as well as the work force funders collaborative for their investment in our efforts to help improve the lives of on-demand workers. for early advice, when i was just starting the fundraising, i want to thank carmen rohas, and rudy gonzalez, and a big

thank you to our survey team who have just been wonderful. thank you, commissions. >> chairwoman: any comments or questions from mr. global? seeing none, let's open this up for public comment. any members of the public that would like to comment. i see a thumbs up from mr. brooks. public comment is now closed. i'd like to make a motion to move this with a positive recommendation. second. >> chairwoman: seconded. take that without objection. thank you very much. good work. and mr. clerk, will you please call item number six. >> item number six is the executive officer's report. >> chairwoman: mar global, havmr. global, you havea presentation for us? >> yes. thank you. i have a couple of items. i would like to give you an update on the budget and fundraising progress for our study of on-demand

workers. the team is putting together a revised budget, and it is very possible that the budget is going to increase -- actually, we're hoping it will increase and be somewhere in the neighborhood of $450,000. we have been planning and seeking funds for a budget of $300,000. why the higher cost? it has to do with the options that they're considering for the survey. the first option would be an online survey. and there are some pluses and minuses to it. it would cost less, but the downside is they really couldn't guarantee a representative survey. even though it could potentially cover a larger amount of workers. the second option would be to hire survey administrators, and these would be students who would be paid $15 an hour to do in-person interviews by using the services of, say, the top 12 platforms.

so, for example, they would order food on door dash, and when the food arrives, they would invite the worker to complete the survey. and the worker would get paid for their time. so the cost of this option would increase because we're paying students, we're paying workers, we're paying for the services. and they would interview thousands of workers. the exciting thing about this option is that even though it is more expensive, it would be a representative sample. and as i mentioned earlier, based on the review of the academic literature, it would be the first truly representative survey of platform work anywhere in the country. so the team is going to do some pretesting, try it out, and we're hoping it is a strategy that will prove affective. if it doesn't, we'll revert to the online survey. i am fundraising for a budget of $450,000.

i'm confident that we will raise the funds. as you know, somewhere e a great relationship with the san francisco foundation. and generally speaking, the steady is garnering a lot of interest. this week i received two media inquiries, including one from a national online publication. so i'll keep you posted on that and provide an update -- what i think will be a significant update at the next meeting on september 20th. i'm happy to answer any questions about this, if you have them. >> chairwoman: great. >> the other item that i have for you today is and update on our r.r.f.q. this would allow lavco to add some expertise to staff for the local

build-out of energy projects. completing this has taken a little longer than i expected, but i am in conversation with s.f. p.'s staff, with the advocates, and i hope we can come to an agreement on the exact language and scope of the work, and i expect to have the r.f.q. posted in the next few weeks. >> chairwoman: any comments or questions from leagues. >> i do. >> chairwoman: commissioner singh. >> i just have a question -- this might be putting the cart and horse in the wrong order, but in terms who actually -- in terms of who actually makes the final decision between how you envision that going down between, like, lavco and p.u.c. and the advocates -- in terms of where the buck stops, how are you going to get

to that decision, collectively? >> right. i'm working with the chair's office to convene a meeting of p.u.c. and the advocates, to where i'm hoping -- there is some disagreement, and i'm hoping we can reach a compromise. and i will be reaching out to all of you for your input. the r.f.q. -- correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe the language does not come back to lavco for approval. is that right? >> in general, the commission does not approve r.f.q.s, but any final contract would come before you before approval. >> chairwoman: thank you very much. any other comments? any public comment? >> good afternoon again, commissioners. eric brooks, san francisco clean energy advocates, and californi californians for

energy choice. this second item is really crucial for all of the reasons that i previously stated on the previous item. especially now that we see there is a disagreement with what the s.f. p.u.c. wants, and what advocates like myself and jed and others are looking for that is much more aggressive. and that brings me to repeat the same thing i said about this r.f.q. previously, which is that the person we hire for this task needs to have as their number one job putting together the r.f.p. to hire a contractor to do a city-wide local build-out plan, that will build regional and renewable energy and battery, so that we're energy-independent 10 years from now with 100% clean flearg. anenergy.and we need to follow t

with transportation as quickly at possible. just to drive home part of the reason, i talked about hydro. if you remove hydro to what was presented to us bibby the s.f. p.u.c. that brings out down to delivering 50% renewables by 2030, that is half of what we need. this clearly needs to be a process that is driven by the public, by the elected body, the board of supervisors, and by the agency that has done the most over the last 15 years to make sure the board of supervisors has the information and the tools that it needs, and that's the local agency formation commission. this commission has driven the whole process. this is the commission that will get us to 100 particulars local clean energy in 10 years. >> chairwoman: thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> hello, jed holtzman,

350 bay area. i wanted to provide a little bit of, i guess, context for folks who maybe weren't dealing with this over the last several years. when we talk about -- you know -- this is the first time hearing that there is a disagreement. i can only imagine what it may relate to. i would just like to say that the last time the s.f. p.u.c. was doing their intergrated resource planning process, which only happens every two years, and the last time they were involved in capital planning, they also told us we needed to delay our discussion of local integrative build-out that we'd been talking about before i got involved in 2013, until that was done. those were done. it didn't happen. and we're now on the next cycle of those. and i can only imagine that we're going to hear folks wanting to wait for the first s.f. p.u.c.

plan, and for them to put out their getting to 2030 i.r.p., before we start looking at what we might like to do. you know, if we take over pg&e's infrastructure, clean power s.f. won't even exist. so all of the stuff they're doing will be for naught. we as the city, including s.f. p.u.c., but external of silos, like clean power s.f., we need to be looking at what we want to get to. [buzzer] >> and how all of the cylinders of the city can work to get there. that will be the same whether it is clean power s.f., whether it is public power. i think it is time to break out from letting one part of the city government to sit on this issue, which has been happening for six, seven, eight years. we need to have this happen at the 30,000-foot view. i'm hoping that the --

[buzzer] >> chairwoman: thank you very much. any other public comment? seeing none, the public comment is now closed. mr. clerk, can you please call item number seven. >> item seven is public comment. >> chairwoman: any members of the public like to make comment? seeing none, public comment is now closed. mr. clerk, item number eight. >> item eight is future agenda items? >> chairwoman: any future items to note? mr. global. >> i want to bring it to everyone's attention that i am expecting a fairly long agenda at our next meeting on september 20th. we're going to have several presentations, including some of the work that lavco's interns have been doing around programs for communities of concern with clean power s.f., and also some of the local build-out projects that have been previously considered, and we'll be bringing a presentation to you on that for background. >> chairwoman:

colleagues, please note on your agendas that that meeting will take at least three hours, and to allot that amount of time so we can give our full attention to all of the work the interns have been doing. any other items on a future agenda. seeing none? how about public comment on this. >> the september meeting sounds like my kind of meeting. eric brooks with all of the groups i mentioned before. now i want to talk about you may need to call a special meeting in august. and that will be around legislation. as you heard, ab1054 passed, along with a companion bill, ab111. you should take a look at both bills. ab1054 does not just outrageously block public power. what it does is even when

the monopoly utility like pg&e, even when its equipment is at fault for starting a fire, it guarantees that there will be a $21billion fund that rate-payers will pay half of to pay for fires. that's not the way it used to be. the way it used to be, whenever it was pg&e's fault or their equipment, pg&e paid, and had to work really hard to get any rate increases to pay for part of that. that's not even the worst part. once that $21 billion fund is exhausted, and we spent in the last two years $30 billion on the current wildfires that just happened in two years. if we go above the $21 billion, 1054 allows the monopoly utilities to do their own private bonds and link those to rate-payer increases to pay any further wildfire costs.

[buzzer] >> so consumers, costumers, rate-payers will end up paying more than 50% of costs they are not responsible for. the reason that matters to our local build-out is that the more -- and to other community choice programs starting up -- the more rate-payer have to pay, the less they're willing to do clean power s.f. [buzzer] >> chairwoman: any other public comment. any other items before us? >> madam chair, there is no further business. >> chairman: thank you very much. this meeting is adjourned.

>> i went through a lot of struggles in my life, and i am blessed to be part of this. i am familiar with what people are going through to relate and empathy and compassion to their struggle so they can see i came out of the struggle, it gives them hope to come up and do something positive. ♪ ♪ i am a community ambassador.

we work a lot with homeless, visitors, a lot of people in the area. >> what i like doing is posting up at hotspots to let people see visibility. they ask you questions, ask you

directions, they might have a question about what services are available. checking in, you guys. >> wellness check. we walk by to see any individual, you know may be sitting on the sidewalk, we make sure they are okay, alive. you never know. somebody might walk by and they are laying there for hours. you never know if they are alive. we let them know we are in the area and we are here to promote safety, and if they have somebody that is, you know, hanging around that they don't want to call the police on, they don't have to call the police. they can call us. we can direct them to the services they might need. >> we do the three one one to keep the city neighborhoods clean. there are people dumping, waste on the ground and needles on the ground.

it is unsafe for children and adults to commute through the streets. when we see them we take a picture dispatch to 311. they give us a tracking number and they come later on to pick it up. we take pride. when we come back later in the day and we see the loose trash or debris is picked up it makes you feel good about what you are doing. >> it makes you feel did about escorting kids and having them feel safe walking to the play area and back. the stuff we do as ambassadors makes us feel proud to help keep the city clean, helping the residents. >> you can see the community ambassadors. i used to be on the streets. i didn't think i could become a community ambassador. it was too far out there for me

to grab, you know. doing this job makes me feel good. because i came from where a lot of them are, homeless and on the street, i feel like i can give them hope because i was once there. i am not afraid to tell them i used to be here. i used to be like this, you know. i have compassion for people that are on the streets like the homeless and people that are caught up with their addiction because now, i feel like i can give them hope. it reminds you every day of where i used to be and where i am at now. >> hi. welcome to san francisco. stay safe and exploring how you can stay in

your home safely after an earthquake. let's look at common earthquake myths. >> we are here at the urban center on mission street in san francisco. we have 3 guest today. we have david constructional engineer and bill harvey. i want to talk about urban myths. what do you think about earthquakes, can you tell if they are coming in advance? >> he's sleeping during those earthquakes? >> have you noticed him take any special? >> no. he sleeps right through them. there is no truth that i'm aware of with harvey that dogs are aware of an impending earthquake. >> you hear the myth all the time. suppose the dog helps you get up, is it going to help you

do something >> i hear they are aware of small vibrations. but yes, i read extensively that dogs cannot realize earthquakes. >> today is a spectacular day in san francisco and sometimes people would say this is earthquake weather. is this earthquake weather? >> no. not that i have heard of. no such thing. >> there is no such thing. >> we are talking about the weather in a daily or weekly cycle. there is no relationship. i have heard it's hot or cold weather or rain. i'm not sure which is the myth. >> how about time of day? >> yes. it happens when it's

least convenient. when it happens people say we were lucky and when they don't. it's terrible timing. it's never a good time for an earthquake. >> but we are going to have one. >> how about the ground swallowing people into the ground? >> like the earth that collapsed? it's not like the tv shows. >> the earth does move and it bumps up and you get a ground fracture but it's not something that opens up and sucks you up into haddes. >> it's not going anywhere. we

are going to have a lot of damage, but this myth that california is going to the ocean is not real. >> southern california is moving north. it's coming up from the south to the north. >> you would have to invest the million year cycle, not weeks or years. maybe millions of years from now, part of los angeles will be in the bay area. >> for better or worse. >> yes. >> this is a tough question. >> those other ones weren't tough. >> this is a really easy challenge. are the smaller ones less stress? >> yes. the amount released in small earthquakes is that they are so small in you need many

of those. >> i think would you probably have to have maybe hundreds of magnitude earthquakes of 4.7. >> so small earthquakes are not making our lives better in the future? >> not anyway that you can count on. >> i have heard that buildings in san francisco are on rollers and isolated? >> it's not true. it's a conventional foundation like almost all the circumstances buildings in san francisco. >> the trans-america was built way before. it's a pretty conventional foundation design. >> i have heard about this thing called the triangle of life and up you are supposed to go to the edge of your bed to

save yourself. is there anything of value to that ? >> yes, if you are in your room. you should drop, cover and hold onto something. if you are in school, same thing, kitchen same thing. if you happen to be in your bed, and you rollover your bed, it's not a bad place to be. >> the reality is when we have a major earthquake the ground shaking so pronounced that you are not going to be able to get up and go anywhere. you are pretty much staying where you are when that earthquake hits. you are not going to be able to stand up and run with gravity. >> you want to get under the door frame but you are not moving to great distances. >> where can i buy a richter scale? >> mr. richter is selling it. we are going to put a plug in

for cold hardware. they are not available. it's a rather complex. >> in fact we don't even use the richter scale anymore. we use a moment magnitude. the richter scale was early technology. >> probably a myth that i hear most often is my building is just fine in the loma prieta earthquake so everything is fine. is that true ? >> loma prieta was different. the ground acceleration here was quite moderate and the duration was moderate. so anyone that believes they survived a big earthquake and their building has been tested is sadly mistaken. >> we are planning for the bigger earthquake closer to san

francisco and a fault totally independent. >> much stronger than the loma prieta earthquake. >> so people who were here in '89 they should say 3 times as strong and twice as long and that will give them more of an occasion of the earthquake we would have. 10 percent isn't really the threshold of damage. when you triple it you cross that line. it's much more damage in earthquake. >> i want to thank you, harvey, thanks pat for >> my name tom hewitt.

first of all, i would like to welcome everyone to come to this fair. this safety fair, we trying to educate the public regarding how to prepare themselves during and after the earthquake and then to protect themselves for next 72 hours. >> hi. my name's ed sweeney. i'm the director of services at department of building inspection, and we put together a great fair for the city of san francisco to come down and meet all the experts. we've got engineers, architects. we have builders, we have government agencies. >> well, we have four specific workshops. we have the accessible business entrance. >> my name is leah, and i am the

assistant manager with the department of small business. i am leading the new accessibility ordinance that helps existing owners better comply with existing access laws. so all buildings that have places of public accommodation in san francisco, they must comply with this ordinance. >> the a.d.e. was setup by the board of supervisors, and the ordinance was passed about a year ago. >> one of the biggest updates that we have is that the deadlines were extended, so all of the deadlines were extended by six months. >> and it's really to help the public, the business community to be specific, to cut down on the amount of drive by lawsuits. >> so on this workshop, we're going to be covering what the compliance looks like, what business examiand property owne

need to know how to comply with the ordinance. we'll also talk about the departments that are involved, including the office of small business, department of building inspection, planning department, as well as the mayor's office on disability. >> hi. i'm marselle, and i manage a team at the building department. today, we'll cover the meaning of a.d.u.s, more commonly known as accessory dwelling units. we'll talk about the code and permitting processes, and we'll also talk about legalizing existing dwelling units that are currently unwarranted. >> this is the department of building inspection's residential remodelling workshop. my name is senior electrical inspector cheryl rose, and at this workshop, we're going to be

answering questions such as do i need an electrical permit when i'm upgrading my dwelling, when do i need to have planning involved in a residential remodel, and what's involved with the coerce process? we're going to also be reviewing inspection process, and the permitting process for residential remodel in san francisco. there's always questions that need answers. it's a mystery to the general public what goes on in construction, and the more we can clarify the process, the more involved the consumer can be and feel comfortable with the contractors they're working with and the product they're getting in the results. if you have questions that aren't addressed in this workshop, you're always welcome to come up to the third floor of 1660 mission street, and we're happy to discuss it with you and find out what you need to do.

>> the program is very successful. the last piece is already 60% in compliance. >> well, we have a very important day coming up. it's sept 15. last four has to be compliance, which means that the level four people that have to register with us and give us a basic indication of how they're going to deal with their seismic issues on their building. >> i'm francis zamora, and i'm with the san francisco department of emergency management, and today we talked about how to prepare for emergencies in san francisco. and so that's really importantiimportant. in san francisco, it's no secret. we live in earthquake country. there's a big chance we will be involved in a major earthquake in the next 30 years, but we don't have to be afraid.

these are going to be your first responders outside of the police officers, paramedics, first responders, these are going to be the people that come to your aid first. by getting to know your neighbors, you're going to know who needs help and who can help in case of an emergency. one of the great ways to do that is for signing7for nert, san francisco neighborhood emergency response team. it teaches you how to take care of yourself, your loved ones, and your neighborhood in the case of an emergency. information is just as important as water and food in an emergency. san francisco has an emergency text message alert system, called text sf. if there's some kind of an emergency happening in san francisco or your neighborhood, it could be a police action, a big fire, a tsunami or an earthquake. all you have to do is text your citizenship code to 888777, and your mobile phone is

automatically registered for alert sf. >> my name is fernando juarez, and i'm a fire captain with the san francisco fire department. we have a hire extinguisher training system. you want to pull the pin, stand at least 8 feet away, aim it at the base. if you're too close, the conical laser that comes out, it's too small, and the fire won't go out on the screen. if you step back, the conical shape on the screen is bigger, and it will take the fire go out faster. so it can tell when you're too close. >> my name is alicia wu, and i'm

the director of a san francisco based nonprofit. since 2015, we go out to the public, to the community and provide training in different topics. today we're doing c.p.r., controlling external feeding and how to do perfect communications in each topic, and also, i hope that they can bring it home and start gathering all the supplies for themselves to. >> on any given day in san francisco, we're very well resourced in terms of public safety professionals, but we all know in the event of a large scale disaster, it will be hours and days before the public safety professionals can get to you, so we encourage people to have that plan in place, be proactive. there's websites. we have a wonderful website called 72hours.org.

it tells you how to prepare yourself, your family, your pets, your home, your workplace. we can't emphasize enough how important it is to be francisco. >> my name is fwlend hope i would say on at large-scale what all passionate about is peace in the world. >> it never outdoor 0 me that note everyone will think that is a good i know to be a paefrt. >> one man said i'll upsetting

the order of universe i want to do since a good idea not the order of universe but his offered of the universe but the ministry sgan in the room chairing sha harry and grew to be 5 we wanted to preach and teach and act god's love 40 years later i retired having been in the tenderloin most of that 7, 8, 9 some have god drew us into the someplace we became the network ministries for homeless women escaping prostitution if the months period before i performed memorial services store produced women that were murdered on the

streets of san francisco so i went back to the board and said we say to do something the number one be a safe place for them to live while he worked on changing 4 months later we were given the building in january of 1998 we opened it as a safe house for women escaping prostitution i've seen those counselors women find their strength and their beauty and their wisdom and come to be able to affirmative as the daughters of god and they accepted me and made me, be a part of the their lives. >> special things to the women that offered me a chance safe house will forever be a part of the who i've become and you made that possible

life didn't get any better than that. >> who've would know this look of this girl grown up in atlanta will be working with produced women in san francisco part of the system that has abused and expedited and obtain identified and degraded women for century around the world and still do at the embody the spirits of women that just know they deserve respect and intend to get it. >> i don't want to just so women younger women become a part of the the current system we need to change the system we don't need to go up the ladder we need to change the corporations we need more women like that and they're out there. >> we get have to get to help

them. we spoke with people regardless of what they are. that is when you see change. that is a lead vannin advantage. so law enforcement assistance diversion to work with individuals with nonviolent related of offenses to offer an alternative to an arrest and the county jail. >> we are seeing reduction in drug-related crimes in the pilot area. >> they have done the program

for quite a while. they are successful in reducing the going to the county jail. >> this was a state grant that we applied for. the department is the main administrator. it requires we work with multiple agencies. we have a community that includes the da, rapid transit police and san francisco sheriff's department and law enforcement agencies, public defender's office and adult probation to work together to look at the population that ends up in criminal justice and how they will not end up in jail. >> having partners in the nonprofit world and the public defender are critical to the success. we are beginning to succeed

because we have that cooperation. >> agencies with very little connection are brought together at the same table. >> collaboration is good for the department. it gets us all working in the same direction. these are complex issues we are dealing with. >> when you have systems as complicated as police and health and proation and jails and nonprofits it requires people to come to work together so everybody has to put their egos at the door. we have done it very, very well. >> the model of care where police, district attorney, public defenders are community-based organizations are all involved to worked towards the common goal. nobody wants to see drug users in jail. they want them to get the

correct treatment they need. >> we are piloting lead in san francisco. close to civic center along market street, union plaza, powell street and in the mission, 16th and mission. >> our goal in san francisco and in seattle is to work with individuals who are cycling in and out of criminal justice and are falling through the cracks and using this as intervention to address that population and the racial disparity we see. we want to focus on the mission in tender loan district. >> it goes to the partners that hired case managers to deal directly with the clients. case managers with referrals from the police or city agencies connect with the person to determine what their needs are

and how we can best meet those needs. >> i have nobody, no friends, no resources, i am flat-out on my own. i witnessed women getting beat, men getting beat. transgenders getting beat up. i saw people shot, stabbed. >> these are people that have had many visits to the county jail in san francisco or other institutions. we are trying to connect them with the resources they need in the community to break out of that cycle. >> all of the referrals are coming from the law enforcement agency. >> officers observe an offense. say you are using. it is found out you are in possession of drugs, that constituted a lead eligible defense. >> the officer would talk to the individual about participating

in the program instead of being booked into the county jail. >> are you ever heard of the leads program. >> yes. >> are you part of the leads program? do you have a case worker? >> yes, i have a case manager. >> when they have a contact with a possible lead referral, they give us a call. ideally we can meet them at the scene where the ticket is being issued. >> primarily what you are talking to are people under the influence of drugs but they will all be nonviolent. if they were violent they wouldn't qualify for lead. >> you think i am going to get arrested or maybe i will go to jail for something i just did because of the substance abuse issues i am dealing with. >> they would contact with the outreach worker. >> then glide shows up, you are not going to jail. we can take you.

let's meet you where you are without telling you exactly what that is going to look like, let us help you and help you help yourself. >> bring them to the community assessment and services center run by adult probation to have assessment with the department of public health staff to assess the treatment needs. it provides meals, groups, there are things happening that make it an open space they can access. they go through detailed assessment about their needs and how we can meet those needs. >> someone who would have entered the jail system or would have been arrested and book order the charge is diverted to social services. then from there instead of them going through that system, which hasn't shown itself to be an effective way to deal with people suffering from suable

stance abuse issues they can be connected with case management. they can offer services based on their needs as individuals. >> one of the key things is our approach is client centered. hall reduction is based around helping the client and meeting them where they are at in terms of what steps are you ready to take? >> we are not asking individuals to do anything specific at any point in time. it is a program based on whatever it takes and wherever it takes. we are going to them and working with them where they feel most comfortable in the community. >> it opens doors and they get access they wouldn't have had otherwise. >> supports them on their goals. we are not assigning goals working to come up with a plan what success looks like to them. >> because i have been in the field a lot i can offer different choices and let them

decide which one they want to go down and help them on that path. >> it is all on you. we are here to guide you. we are not trying to force you to do what you want to do or change your mind. it is you telling us how you want us to help you. >> it means a lot to the clients to know there is someone creative in the way we can assist them. >> they pick up the phone. it was a blessing to have them when i was on the streets. no matter what situation, what pay phone, cell phone, somebody else's phone by calling them they always answered. >> in office-based setting somebody at the reception desk and the clinician will not work for this population of drug users on the street. this has been helpful to see the outcome. >> we will pick you up, take you

to the appointment, get you food on the way and make sure your needs are taken care of so you are not out in the cold. >> first to push me so i will not be afraid to ask for help with the lead team. >> can we get you to use less and less so you can function and have a normal life, job, place to stay, be a functioning part of the community. it is all part of the home reduction model. you are using less and you are allowed to be a viable member of the society. this is an important question where lead will go from here. looking at the data so far and seeing the successes and we can build on that and as the department based on that where the investments need to go. >> if it is for five months. >> hopefully as final we will

come up with a model that may help with all of the communities in the california. >> i want to go back to school to start my ged and go to community clean. >> it can be somebody scaled out. that is the hope anyway. >> is a huge need in the city. depending on the need and the data we are getting we can definitely see an expansion. >> we all hope, obviously, the program is successful and we can implement it city wide. i think it will save the county millions of dollars in emergency services, police services, prosecuting services. more importantly, it will save lives.

>> i call the health commission meeting to order. >> a commissioner chow. >> present. >> a commissioner green. >> a present. >> the second item on the agenda is approval of the june 18, 2019 minutes. commissioner, the minutes are in your hand. if you have any corrections, edits, or additions, please say so now. >> move to approve. >> we have a motion. do we have a second? >> a second. >> an
