together the people served their counsel row. they came home. my brother came home as a heroin addict from vietnam if you were not buzzed by 9 in the morning you did not survive. they needed the help and should not be denied the help. never if there was a way to make that bill effective immediately no veteran would be turned away for anything. >> i will show that you bill. it is in there what we need to do is let people than it it is in there. >> i done know this. you tuesday today. i'm learning. them is important. get together and talk you pleasure you share and that's how you roach out to help others. i thank you for this. >> yep >> absolutely. >> very important. >> your approximation you know i have been watchingior passion with when you were speaking to 200 veterans navy veterans and

>> right. we can function and still do our jobs but have the depression and have ptsd. we need coping skills. >> you know. >> but we are still an active part of getting the job done and the mission done. and so that's what i would tell you is -- you know don't be afraid to go in and talk to them and say, tell them what is going on and stuff like this. or each your fellow veterans. just get in a group. we used to -- play quarters and talk. after -- and but -- we never got too far gone with drinking. where we couldn't help our fellow veteran. and that comradery -- is you

have it while you are in and you got it when you are out. we are here also. >> so. >> i recommend if you have access that you go years ago, if you said, you mention it, put this person at the end of the line buzz they are nuts. it is not we are nutings we have emotional problems. and being active person there is in reason why you should in the got on person and say, i'm having a problem can we have a talk. you should have that instantly. because he went through a lot he was tough. got the help. i would not like to see you where you are like, they didn't care. no that should not being you are active they should take care of you immediately and retired vet

residence should be no questions asked if you need help. get this instantly. absolutely. when you deny veterans this is a slap in the face to the veterans in the country. i had a friends this every veteran should have free medical and go it dental. i echo that. every veteran who serves free medical. period. >> and one more thing. we heard in the news people come to the country flowing from country the persecution and they are willing to serve our country. by god if you take your head and swear an oath to the country i think you should become a citizenship. it is sad we see you served now it is up 3 them back that is

wrong if you are willing to serve of the cubs row this country for the military by god the minute you take you were hand and say, iup hold, you say, yes i'm a citizen. and that law should be in ascii. and if there was a way to get this law enacted today i would be so happy. i seen where families are torn apart you did your job, get out. you served this country and deserve to stay and be a citizen immediately. >> yep. i see that. >> >> so it has been more recent since i have been out in 2017. transition is ridiculous. you gentleman from having absolutely your entire life is schedule and maintained you don't think you will just do it. and then you show up in the civil yen world and everything is different. everybody islet. it is like --

[laughter] not like you don't have to show up exactly on that specific time. but like even now i still show up early to things. i thank you is helps me as a person. remember but mriek you always still carry that sense of urgency and the stress this come with temperature you manage it now and talking to the psychiatrist and getting help is something that is a necessity. dwro especially you know we are coming out of covid this hit everybody hard. i'm still coming become with my social skills you don't talk to anybody for 2 years. especially in the civilian side and going to college. you know that was really rough. a rough time. i got help through that. and that is -- is needed.

so funny enough in the marines we called the psychiatrist. to me like a no-no word. they are loishg, no, no, no don't talk about this stuff. we called them wizards. [laughter] they do magic. [laughter]. yea. when we have like our marines and when i picked up sergeant i tried talk to my marines to get them help of the prior they were not like that. you know they would almost see everything in the opposite to keep you away from medical or psychiatrists or anything. it is not a sign of weakness. it is more a sign strength on you. you are able tom recognize

that -- something is off and i need help. and lastly the last question, and thank you for sharing i know it is a tough but accepted topic to talk about. if we are not experts and don't know how to talk about mental health it is a great conversation to have. especially hearing from fellow veterans. lastly, so, knowing what you know now, y'all experiences good and bad, would you do it all over again? yes. absolutely. >> in a heart beat >> yes. >> i think so, too. >> i think i always say, there were a lot more negatives than positives but came out a better person. and you know and something like that, i -- would have -- something you can't take away and like -- i could not imagine myself my life if i never went in. and served i feel like you

know -- of course there will be negative with every experience whether college, marriage, you know different chapters in your life but what you learn from it or who you met. and friendships and all the things that all of the other positives. we pay attention to negatives this sticks with us more. but would do it again. anyone elsement to comment. i would do it again the u neefk part of i went in as an old man.

putting your name forward. come on up. if there is anything you would like to say, i do have some questions not for you, but really for this panel relative to the motion that is before us that makes representations on the mayor's behalf i'm not willing to make but we can figure that out. that is just a technical issue. >> good morning chair peskin, vice chair mandelman, supervisor chan. thank you so much for your consideration of my appointment to the children and family first commission. as background, tomorrow marks my 30 year working in public libraries, and i had a charm ed career, in particular since about 1998 i have been working with youth and families to prepare young people 0-5 to enter kindergarten ready to read and learn and succeed in life through my prior

experience in san mateo county library i have lots of experience working with first 5. since i have been with city and county of san francisco i served on the our children our families council so i have a lot of experience working in this area, and i would be proud to serve and contribute as best i can in this capacity. i do appreciate the mayor's nomination and i appreciate the board of supervisors consideration of my candidacy. >> seems like a good fit for seat number 5, which requires you to be a department representative, and thank you again for your service not only to this body but to our libraries. are there any questions or comments from committee members? alright; seeing none, any public comment on this item? >> members who wish to

speak on the item and joining in person should line up to speak at this time. for those listening remotely call 415-655-0001, enter meeting id 2 (488) 987-7754 then press pound and pound again. once connected you will need to press star 3 to enter the speaker line. for those already in the queue please continue to wait until the system indicates you have been unmuted and that is your queue to begin comments. f i do not see anybody in the room for public comment and there is one person on the line for public comment. >> first speaker, please. >> can you hear me now? >> please proceed. >> excellent. david pillpel, good morning. happy to speak in support of michael lambert to the children families first commission. director lambert is a

excellent city librarian professional and caring and think he will serve well in this capacity. one of my not sure how to say this-one of my favorite department heads. there are many, but he is one of my favorites. i'm sure you will have to tweak page 1 line 17 to page 2 line 6 to remove the reference to the residency waver, but i would urge you to support and approve the mayor's nomination of michael lambert to the children and families first commission. thanks for listening. >> are there any additional speakers on item number 2 mr. young? >> there are no additional public commenters for this matter. >> alright. public comment is closed. mr. young-this might take care of my technical problem

indicated at the beginning of this item that a residency waver was not required, is that correct? >> yes, can amend it to remove any-remove reference to residency waver. i thought mr. lambert lived in the city but i verified he does live thin city. >> there we go. a department head who lives in the city. alright. in that case, because i was not going to be willing to do the representation on page 2, line 3, subsection 4, because i was not going to say that this board of surprisers exercised due diligence and concluded there was no other possible representative that would be on the mayor, not on this board of supervisors, so i was not go toog do that but it sounds like

that matter is mute and i would therefore suggest at line 3 we remove residency requirement waived in the long title. at line 12 and 13 remove the same language, and then eliminate line 17 through-on page 1, through line 6 on page 2 and at line 7 on page 2-actually, we can remove that entire-we can remove everything on page 2. do you agree madam deputy city attorney? that further moved is only relevant to the residency waver.

>> i can verify that myself. the second page regarding the further moved is only language regarding the residency waver. >> yep. i think we can just make those two changes and remove the rest of the motion starting on page 1 at line 17. i mean, you could keep the first 2 representations. i don't know we have to do that. we do not center have to do that so i make a motion to amend the motion by removing everything from line 17 on in the motion and taking out the residency waived in the long title and remove word rejecting in the long title and remove the word reject

at line 12, and send the item as amended to the full board with a positive recommendation on that motion a roll call, please. >> yes, on the motion- [roll call] >> motion passes without objection. >> thank you mr. lambert. do right by our children and our families. next item, please. >> yes, item 3 is hearing consider aopponenting one member term ending october 8, 2026 to children and families first commission. one seat, two applicants. >> thank you mr. clerk. we will hear from these individuals both of whom are for seat number 7, both of whom would require a residency waver. we'll hear from them in the order they appear on our agenda starting remotely i

believe with cesnae crawford and going on to lilli milton. >> good morning everyone. appreciate first of all the flexibility as i deal with covid and recovery from that. thank frz the flexibility and thanks for allowing me to attend remotely. i appreciate it. it is a honor and privilege to be considered for this important role. over the last 25 years i dedicated myself to education and professional experience and supporting diverse communities represented in san francisco. i'm currently the senior executive directive of urban service ymca committed to children family and communities. in my work i oversee the reflection of the organization which includes our 3 family resource centers within the city county of san francisco. our truancy program, youth development program, wellness and many many

more. i had the good fortune to serve community in many ways and come to the recognition without the establishment of relationships and goals of inspiring the voices of community is embedded in everything we do. we will be doing nothing more then making symbolic gestures and not informed action. much of my experience is k-12 non profit justice involved experience. have a proven track record (inaudible) sound evaluation process and implementation of goals and ideas to completion. given the wide range of services and city wide lens of my work across all populations we serve in san francisco i do believe my experiences would be a great asset to the work ahead. if

given the opportunity to serve as a board member i look forward continuing the mission of putting our children and families first in all decision making moving forward. once again, i like to thank the respective board for their time and appreciate the consideration. thank you. >> thank you mr. crawford. now we'll go on to lilli milton. >> good morning. thank you so much supervisor chan, vice chair mandelman and chair peskin. happy to be here. my name is lilli milton and i along with cesnae am honored to put my application forward for children and families first commission. i sit on the (inaudible) been there over 14 years and hpp is a paramount resource center in the city serving the most vulnerable families focus on pregnant and

families 0-5. homeless suvs housing wellness, everything to break the psychof of poverty and further the mission of family resource center. also the core part of fabric in san francisco and implementing integrative family centered services is the parts this is aiming to do so exciting to put forth my application because i feel the opportunity to bring the voices of the providers and families to the board in a dynamic and innovative way is a great opportunity for me and wonderful opportunity for homeless prenatal. i feel that i bring to the commission an ability to articulate how working together to further the mission of children and families first commission. i feel we have a long way to go in terms of improving our systems and making them more family centered. right now

our systems continue to be siloed and while we are a community of great weth we find some of the most core services are underresourced, under staffed and there are a lot of things our community can be doing and commission can be doing and alliance can be doing to further that mission. so, i am thrilled. i think cevnae is a wonderful college and (inaudible) out to the community and make sure the city is putting families first. there are so many systems serving families but not all working together and feel my role on the commission would really create a opportunity for more voice and more integration. thank you for your consideration. >> thank you. are there any members of the public who would like to comment on this appointment by the board of supervisors to the children and families first commission for seat number 7? >> yes, members of the public who wish to speak on this item and joining in person

(inaudible) 6 o'clock in the morning he is out there helping set up for community events. (inaudible) saying no we cannot do that, because it isn't for the greater community. i think he would be really good at being fair and compassionate and he brings a lens of being very open-minded and not having tunnel vision. think outside the box to be able to elevate families and to help them achieve what they are trying to achieve in a way that is very compassionate (inaudible) i live in potrero hill public housing (inaudible) very dear to what he

does and is true to his word and very compassionate as well as stand his ground when there is a lot of push-back when people dont want to do something but it is for the greater community (inaudible) i thank you very much for letting me speak and you could not get a better person then cesnae. >> thank you. can we have our next caller, please? >> good morning. thank you so much for the opportunity to speak. i am-my name is (inaudible) and i am calling in support of my colleague ms. milton. we both work together at (inaudible) i have known her the past all most 7 years and just like to say that i have never worked with a more innovative inspiring and compassionate colleague in my life. i wholeheartedly would

support and consideration of ms. milton. thank you so much. >> thank you. that completes our list of public commenters for this matter. >> public comment is closed. i want to thank both of the applicants who are both committed and qualified and want to hear from my colleagues. i would just offer this, which is just looking at the 9 seats, all of which now with mr. lambert would be occupied, that it is as we seek to balance by gender and ethnicity and other criteria heavily weighted to women and for that reason i would lean towards mr.

crawford but would love to hear from my colleagues. supervisor chan. >> thank you chair peskin. >> preston, peskin, it is all good. >> i'm sorry (inaudible) >> i have much more followers on twitter. >> i concur with your sentiment chair peskin and about just overwhelming right now the appointees on this body is women. i also see that there is a vacant seat that is a mayoral appointment but love to encourage the mayor's office to consider ms.- >> the vacant seat is the seat we just filled with mr. lambert. >> that was number 5?

>> which i think would make him the only other male out of 9. >> in deed. okay. >> vice chair mandelman. >> one of the items where i don't love being on the rules committee. both of these candidates are excellent. my staff had the opportunity to talk to mr. crawford. very impressed. we haven't had the opportunity to talk directly to ms. milton but heard very good things about her so i could support either of these applicants. >> alright. of course there will be future opportunities on this body and other bodies that work for our children and families, so i will make the difficult choice and make a motion to send mr. crawford with a

residency waver to the full board with a positive recommendation. on that motion, mr. young a roll call, please. >> yes, on that motion- [roll call] >> motion passes without objection. >> next item, please. >> next on the agenda is item 4, hearing to consider aopponenting one member term ending october 8, 2024 and one member term ending october 8, 2025 to early childhood community oversight advisory committee two seats, four applicants. >> alright. here is one of those potential opportunities. why don't we hear from the applicants. there are four of them. however, one of them is the only applicant for seat number 9, that is monique guidry

not able to attend today but there is only one applicant for that position for which she is qualified and has a specific requirement that it is representative of the child care planning advisory council and so i let her know that we could hear the item today with her absent, which gives us the three remaining applicants for seat number 8, and we'll hear from them in the order they appear. cindy lopez-chastain, isabela hill, savitha moorthy that requires a residency waver for seat number 8. is cindy lopez here? >> thank you, good morning everyone. thank you so much for permitting me to be online. i'm currently

a speech therapist and working in practice today so i'm jumping on this call in between appointments. board of supervisors thank you for your consideration. i am wanting to state very briefly that my passion for early childhood education stems from my professional work of 20 years as a speech therapist in san francisco, but the deeper commitment is born and raised san franciscans myself, first generation immigrant family from el salvador-as a professional i have been deeply committed and in the groundwork of early childhood supporting not only the children in their speech therapy work with me, but their families, colleagues and develop my own

program in the connection in 2008. as response to working in the school systems and seeing a huge need for our spanish speaking families, our families of color and families of low income to receive and access services in the community in a timely manner and a way that worked for them. since 2008, i have done not only that work as a practice, but created teams, worked in countless child care programs, preschool centers, collaborated with non profit agencies, the school districts, the golden gate regional center to name a few and in that time i not only provided the direct service to children and families and professional, but also developed different programs and different models to provide screenings for children, early intervention

approaches and favorite part of the work is working inside the community to like the other colleagues said, to integrate our systems and stop working in silos, which has been something to the detriment of our community in early childhood. i come to you today just to share my passion and to want to bring my expertise, my commitment, my stories every day lessens i have from families and colleagues to bring to the table to work together with the city, with the board of supervisor, with committees to come up with solutions because i have been working pre-pandemic, during pandemic and now at this recovery stage of the pandemic with the families that need it the most and i want to be able to come up with solutions that all integrate together. >> thank you. next we'll go to isabela

hill. good morning. >> hello, supervisors. my name is isabela hill also a born and raised san franciscans and so exciting to be in the room and participating in the process. a early childhood educator 10 years and working in the classroom at c5 children school next door in the state buildsing. the call to action came during the pandemic when i was on unemployment and making more money then i had been as a full time teacher in the classroom. if up to me i would be a pree school teacher for the rest of my lif, but that seems unrealistic in the current economic environment of our city. my career depends on creating a more sustainable future for educators in the city. this is

such an inspiring and hopeful time to be involved in early (inaudible) move to universal preschool and i'm so in ah of the advocacy the city members of this committee have done to get us to this point. however, i believe i would be-if on the committee i would be the only one currently working in the classroom. as someone working in the classroom i can speak to lived experience how policies and funding impact educators and families. experience first hand the economic social cultural realties working and the first point of contact for children and caregivers in the community. in order to provide recommendations and expanding early childhood programs in a way equitable high quality and sustainable i believe it is essential to have teachers in the field represented. my goal is advocate for policies that (inaudible) diverse

qualified early childhood edge s who empower the communities they serve. thank you for your time. >> thank you ms. hill and thank you for your work and sorry that it is not compensated as it should be in this society, but we have tried i go back 20years and it was-we did child care plus and all sorts of things and yet it has fallen behind again. >> we very much appreciate the cares program that has been a tremendous boom to us and so excited to see what changes continue to be implemented. >> thank you. next we'll go to savitha moorthy. good morning. >> good morning. good morning, rules committee. i'm so so honored to be here so thank you so much for having me here and giving me the opportunity to talk to you about my application and interest in serving on

the early childhood citizen advisory oversight advisory committee. over the last 2 decades, my work has been in early childhood education. i have been a etch toer, researcher and non profit leader. my story and my history with early childhood education is personal. i wasn't able to attend college directly after high school so i took a vocational course. i worked entry level jobs thin service industry for 3 years and then facing burn-out in early 20's and took up a job as paraprofessional in a early childhood classroom and it changed my life. it lead me to complete my college degree, get teaching credential. teached in the clasroom a decade and go on to grad school and work as a researcher and end up where i am today. because of my diverse experiences as a parent, as a educator,

as researcher, non profit leader i'm familiar with the field of early childhood education, variety of learning context. the preschool classroom, head start agencies, family child care homes, family resource centers and parent of young child and because of this history this work is personal to me. the child is the center of my work and i'm passionate promoting high quality urldy childhood experiences and the urgency to do that for marginalized communities so all children arrive in kindergarten ready to learn. i'm the executive director of (inaudible) early learning. we are small but think mighty non profit working at the intersection of social justice and early childhood education. we serve about 7,000 children and families in the city and county of san francisco so our programming is present in every preschool and

transitional class room in san francisco unified. we serve all the major head start agencies, we partner with 101 family child care homes and several family resource centers. i bring this up because i don't live in san francisco and i need a residency waver but i assure through my work i'm closely connected to this community and care so deeply about it. i made it is a point and priority to be present and to build deep relationships with partners and families. i attend community meetings, community events, support programming and really hands on way. i'm seated on the child care planning advisory council through supervisor chan office and serve on the board of directors for the third street youth center and clinic lead by my wonderful colleague joy jackson morgan and offer this as additional evidence of my commitment and connectiveness to the city of san francisco. thank you so--you're in a tough position

because you have three amazing chan candidates to choose from so don't envy the decision you have to make but honored and humbled i got to be here today and tell about myself and work we do. thank you for your time. >> thank you for your presentation and thank you for your work and for your applying this morn ing. why don't we go to public comment mr. young? >> yes are. members of the public who wish to speak on this item and joining in person should line up to speak at this time. for those listening remotely call 415-655-0001 enter id 24889 aket 77754 and press pound and pound again. once connected you need to press star 3 to enter the speaker line. those in the queue please continue to wait until the system indicated you are unmuted and that is your queue to begin comment. there is nobody in the room for public comment at this time. just checking, and there is nobody on

the telephone line for public comment at this time. >> okay. public comment is closed. this is a tough decision. i will note that there are no men on this body. there does not appear to be any-but could be wrong asian nor latinx representation on this body, which is 9 seats. nor does there appear to be any representation from somebody with current lived experience, so there you have it. comments from committee members? i'm at a loss with three perfectly qualified candidates. supervisor chan. >> um-yeah, i think that it is a very

challenging decision. i'm looking at purely-i always really just want to thank of course our d1 appointee, savitha moorthy for her service across. i think it is a great opportunity for someone like a educator like isabela hill and bringing the perspective educator to the body. it is a tough decision, but it is definitely great to have someone who is bilingual and understanding having cultural and language competency to one of the largest community in need of early childhood services in the city and typically just from my experience with children council, that is a great need in a city like ours when

child care cost is extremely high for immigrant and community that are mono lingual. we have some decision before us. i am probably in a space where leaning toward an educator like isabela hill for this reason because the lack of educators perspective while seeing that ms. moorthy has been involved in many other bodies related to child care already. that is probably where i'm leaning towards. >> i should note that ms. lopez chastain chimed in online, that she too is a practicing educator in classrooms and home based work for the committee edification. vice chair mandelman. >> thank you chair

peskin. i also have a very hard time with this decision. i will say i heard positive things about supervisor chan's appointee, mrs. moorthy. and beyond that i'm not sure i have a ton to contribute. >> alright. sure is great being chair, isn't it? colleagues, for a number of reasons i am going to suggest that we make a tough decision and i will suggest cindy lopez chastain for seat 8 and monique guidry for seat 9. supervisor chan. >> i do want to

actually speak on monique guidry for seat 9. i want to say i know her for a very long time, two decades now, and she has been dedicated in this work and she has alongside-her service does reside in district 7 alongside with former board president norman yee have done a lot of work around child care so i know her work speaks for itself and it is the reason why i did not question the fact that while she is not physically present and make a presentation i know her work a long time so more than happy to appoint her for seat 9. because again all three legally qualified in outstanding candidates i think i respect chair peskin's decision for seat 8 with cindy lopez-chastain. thank you.

>> again, as i said in the last item, there will be other and are more opportunities for your expertise and involvement. mr. clerk, please call the roll on that motion for item number 4. >> yes are. on the motion to appoint cindy lopez-chastain to seat 8 and monique guidry to seat 9- [roll call] >> motion passes without objection. >> next item for i don't know, 4, 5 time. >> item time ordinance amending the administrative code to require the board supervisors approval of policy governing the funding acquisition and use of certain law enforcement equipment consistent with the criteria set forth in state law and

approving the police department use of equipment policy. >> i want to thank you and public and police department for your patience as we heard this repeatedly. the good news is the department has evolved their ab481 military equipment policies largely in line with the comments that i made a couple weeks ago . i don't know if i'm the only one, but i generally delve into these things on sunday evening and by the time i delve through the entire grid that the police department provided us late last week, maybe friday or so, it was like 10 o'clock and i thought too late to call the pd and start negotiating. so, i want to make some

comments based on the responses and i think we are all in receipt of this fine good work the department for laying it all out and you can see who made the suggestion, which is largely me. some from the pd, and you can see that some of them were accepted in whole and some accepted in part and some declined in whole. but a lot of progress, and this is a first time that any of us are doing this. i actually noted that this is a law that was sponsored by our now city attorney and former state assembly member david chu so if we want legislative intent we can walk down the hall and find

out first person. with that, what i like to do is just go through some thoughts that i jotted down last night too late to call and then i have arranged for a meeting between myself and the department on wednesday morning to discuss these at length and then hopefully we can finally, we are past the 180 day deadline but we are not the only in the state of california to be wrestling with this. so, in order that they appear on this-i note that as it relates to robots, the-i asked a question at a previous meeting whether or not robots could be used

for deadly force. the department has responded that yes, they can under prescribed limited circumstances, so i think that is a question for us relative to ab481 whether or not we agree with that, so we can-that's something-this would be a good opportunity because we cannot talk about this off-line, if you have any sentiments as to that you might want to express them during the course of this meeting. there was relative-this is r3 page number 5. whether or not it should be command staff which is what i recommended the department suggested commissioned officers which are lieutenant or above. i note that oakland i believe in their policy they are

a little ahead of us, landed i think on command staff could only authorize deployment in these instances. something to think about and discuss. as to the bear cat, i guess the question that i was left with is, really defining what is a high risk tactical situation. i think we all have a sense of it, but it is not for the sake of the policy defined. obviously i think we all want de-escalation when ever and where ever policy. i think the policy speaks to the fact that de-escalation is deemed to be futile, but anyway that's some

food for thought. jumping all the way to my favorite device, the l rad. it's actually you included language which i appreciate that said it would not be used for crowd control, and so i think that in authorized use we should say that isn't a authorized use because this-i just restating what you guys were saying, but we can figure that out wednesday. and by the way, there also is and not yet looked into this another new california law, i think ab48 we need to look at in light of l-rad. we can talk about that further on wednesday. jumping to

specialized fire arms. i think the city attorney said that can be deleted in entirety or not. that is a policy call for us. any thoughts that colleagues have as to whether or not we want to delete that, speak now. that does not mean you need to forever hold your piece. but it is a place where we have a opportunity again to emphasize and speak to de-escalation if it is in the policy whereas, if we make the line call say and it is not in the policy those words don't is a place. i lean towards keeping it in the policy, which is our call. jumping to r24, i are think we have ab48 questions, which we need to get our arms around and figure

out. r26, i just have some questions about destruction of property as it relates to the definition of exigent circumstances. i am reluctant to -unless it is better defined say that destruction of property could trigger . i mean, if a person is smashing a window which is not good, i don't know that it's okay to shoot them, but i'm not saying you would do that, i'm saying the way destruction of property is listed in here gives
