the dedicated staff of the sheriff's department exit think the her leave cost if to accommodate schedules after hours, it is low approximate we have city attorney and sheriff's council who have offered training. i want to be mindful of this and have you review that number. >> okay. >> i will take that in consideration. why i appreciate so much your hard work. the city attorney's work. sheriff council but dpa and the support than i have been begin we do hire inspector zrnl we want that person to be successful. i expect the transition period mitake a year depending because the staffing would be civil service. we than at in point in time silv service hires take a longer time. but i'm thankful for director

henderson attorney here and nicole armstrong on budget special facilities to gives ape handle on the budget and on going support. >> i echo, thank you. >> any members have questions. yea. and since are in the doing another i like to add more on your plate. hasaturday possibility in the budget to allow for members when we drive here to have a stereotypen for park or sticker or something? we will have to look into this i will get become to you on that. why i think if i'm not misestablish they are supposed to wee be zee not had it processd and difficult sewe are named different entities on the budget than when we are on the charter that made it doyle draft documents.

i don't know secretary, if you have a schedule of when stipends may come through >> left member was process said through. so now it is waiting approximate with the kreller's office. you should get that and your back pay. >> combebls have questions. >> i have several, you mentioned that the evidence.com. is there an estimate hathat cost will be? >> we are still looking we started to explore that. could this be added in at a later date? >> this is in the final yet this is still a draft when we get numbers together we will put those in there. >> okay. >> and i know this indicates adding 7 positions and that would saul row savings cover the

budget cuts for this fiscal year but what about the fiscal year next july assuming the upon 7 people are in place in >> right when we estimate the budget for the positions we estimate the highest level. we don't anticipate having to hire all of them at the top step. and also -- we will not bring all this positions in at the same time. so we will have salary savings that way. i don't anticipate given the hiring of the ig is take long are than expected. i don't expect we would be hiring any staff that soovenl probably not until the second or third quarter. member soo mentioned 80 hours of training from the sheriff's departmentful men there men information about the status of

this. my understanding was this it was going to be 20 hours. i have not heard anything else about receiving additional mandatory training. >> i don't have knowledge of the training proposals. [no microphone]. >> okay. and this initiative is 7 added positions how many does the budget cover? >> i'm sorry. how many i know this list 7 additional positions how many existing are in this budget is this i believe well is 13. >> okay. can you give us a break down had they are? >> it will be i did not fwring ha. i know there is -- 11 -- 11 investigators dp a senior attorney. and a chief position. >> and a cho position.

and i believe there is -- support, too. there is -- admin position and a budget person. which was -- we need now. >> i'm sorry when you say cho position what is that? >> chief attorney position to over see the -- assist the oig. >> would be 3 attorney positions? >> no. it is the oig chief attorney position and the 7 investigators. and this additional naern in budget? >> right. >> i'm not aware of agencies that small having a chief attorney usually they supervisor other attorneys. i don't know about the need for both a media person can communities out reach personful seems like that could be the

same position? i'm going to move we approve this -- removing those 2 position the chief attorney position and the media officer. >> okay i'm sorry -- you know with budget i think it is better to ask for more can let the mayor take the positions away. i believe what the budget cuts she will take a lot, way and will not approve the 7 but it is more prudent to ask for more. but -- i will -- we will consider your comments. >> i don't think those positions are necessary because given budget situation the city findses itself in and the need to miles per hour miles an hour mraum officers for the upon plea come should have been's department. emergency dispatchers. i don't see these having that level of priority.

correct but we are trying to build a department it is better to ask for more to have successful full department. and we can change the positions around if needed. >> just my thinking is. >> thank you for your comment. >> president wechter a request to speak. as an attorney, and as machine this worked with different chiefs, in the san francisco da's office, when i was i practice cuter i think that a chief is an essential leader in an organization especially a new organization where it has so much staff. a chief not only deals with the attorney work and the daily they go in the daily fungsz of what that department does. here we have a slew of

investigators. which i, soup the chief would work with as well. i think to have the -- want to -- make sure we dispel misconception a chief assistant attorney position would just be limited to prierzing one attorney's work temperature is a lot more complex and a lot more involved. and i think we as members soo indicated we want to do everything in our power to ensure that our ig succeeds in performing the amounts of work that will be required of this department. i hear you and response i will change my motion to approve this changing the chief attorney position to staff attorney position give the ig2. i worked at 2 oversight entities either of them did not have a

chief attorney position. staff attorneys were capable. revowing the investigations and handling public record's requests and we did not need a chief position. so. i'm amending my motion. >> and may i speak. i am a staff attorney and senior staff council for a state agency. well is a difference with a bureau chief. general council and staff attorney. i think we learned that well from attorney kinds. well is a position where someone can approve things, make budget and a line staff attorney you don't have that authority. i think it is important to have attorney at a chief level. of am i mode why receive and community liaison would be rep did you understandant. i think member palmer would know we discussed about community out retch we need bhon is strategy in the community with life

experiences. also knowledgeable about the community. the modia person handles modia for the department may handle crossover mead why as limp i believe that is important. i do have a follow up question and i know we have been hamper in the this. and member palmer added, secretary leung could we have to aleave i didn't the hats you wear and dpa assisting us in having a staff person start to build up the infrastructure of the office? so i said, we don't want an ig coming in here and being overwhelmd and there will be a learning press a transition process. is there a possibility that dpa assist us in hiring another upon person at this point? i don't know if nicole armstrong could other thans that or

attorney kind? thank you. i don't have an answer to that question. with is all throughout mayor's budget office and hr. we have submitted requests for i budget person to able to help you all this is in the press now. but that is out of our hands we want to make surety process is correct. we would love to hire additional support. i want to make a correction. approximate dan's the only position we're asking for now with the attorney it is a new attorney position the chief attorney it is already on the fwhj is in the something we are it is an additional attorney to help with casework to manage the load and ground w we need in research needed. that is the approximate suspicion on the budget at this time. >> other questions and we do

have on the ids report we kept in the approximate sheriff's durpt see there is 40 grand there. we dhept if the sheriff does have training we can make sure you have training. not just the 1300 there is additional 40,000. than i know you need your train and there will be change overs. whatever helps we want to make sure you are trained and ready to g. >> i understood from the beginning of training we were receiving 25% television and that's why i estimateed be 80 hours we had 20 hours. joy was not part of the training i don't know the hours i want to make sure what you need you have funds and dan has it to do it. and dan is correct they are working on your appointments. there are things i will follow up.

so you will be receiving e mill from dan approximate asking for more information to make sure things are done so you receive stifle ends. >> there are oftentimes additional cut its better to ask for sxhr i would expect them members make themselves visible to appear before the board of supervisors to ask for add backs if there are cuts. and oftentimes the budget is made whole by supervisors. i suspect the experience of this charter would walton would advocate to have a whole budget and when we need to do. >> thank you. >> thank you. being an executive director of nonprofit positions fihad a dhoons ask the mir for a binge

would ask for as many positions and accomplices to be filled. i think it it is in line with our office to ask for more and then take when we get and we will be asking for more after. i would like to see this ride through. >> in response. i will with dru my motion. >> i want to add is that the number of investigators goes with the staffing and the number of deputies and so hopeful low we can attract more deputies that requires investigators as well. >> i do have a follow up question in terms of process. for the purposes of moving forward what are the next steps? the next step is we are going to

reports for our -- our -- -- invoices today. our final reports approved we'll rung the numbers for this fiscal year. final numbers the end of fiscal. we have an estimate q within expect 2 and we can the mayor's budget is due february 21st. >> in order to move forward, do you need an approval of the draft budget today to meet that deadline. with the comments or we will have a some meeting or how is this next step some >> i think the add voice from the city attorney we should vote to which approve >> right y. vote on this draft and we'll work on the final. >> thank you.

into account. my understands is the training you keep talking about is in ordinance of the city attorney can find it and put what is required to your budget. defer to her on that. i think that -- you are required to do a formal public hearing on the budget i think this was noticed but not a community forum. and um -- all of our city departments now do that. i would ask that you do that as well. um, i know that um -- we are very interested get oig position filled and it takes a long time this was on the agenda and would love to figure out a way to ghaet pushed forward so it happens as quick low as possible even if includes adding monnet

attorney and -- human resources our j.w. is finished rather than having i committee and notice further work it is of the board in a regular low meeting. i don't know if we need to disban the committee? >> i don't think you need to but you could. >> this is a first draft and we really wanted to also thank the presentation florez from the wisconsin inspector general's office for their police department. some of that was taken from the questions and i know this there might have been occurrence there were questions out in the penalty written questions will review someone's thoughtfulness and the ability to community clear in writing. i say that newer attorneys and may be it is generational are

not as solid writers we hoped. that offers an opportunity. and a question i will ask of hr and been to training i went through the interview process for the department on status of women, is that we as board members receive training in terms of per missable question and signing the confidentiality and how we handle interviews in closed session. there will be official. i believe we will ask in i fashion to all candidates. not like we let the cat out. there will be questions and not out in public.

i would like to thank member soo. for all of the work in creating a thoughtful job description. that incorporated you know a lot of information. that was not morely a cut approximate paste but a very thoughtful job description which i think incorporates the issues we have discussed. it is unfortunate we delayed so long in being able to move forward. and i'm happy to address that further later.

>> good afternoon. sean with the d. human resources. i want to thank the president and voip for inviting me to join you today. and thank you for being amenable for having mow join virtually. i would like to acknowledge the w the board has taken in puts forward a draft. job description. at this point. dhr to take on a greater

irrelevant we want to [inaudible] get it done right the first time. export to put our best not forward. so what i'm looking to the board for in term it is of direction is wield like the ability to take this draft job description. go back with my team, working with each one of you as members to get an nltdzing of what the job in your mind entail and what an i deal candidate profile would be and redraft the announcement. bring it become to the full board. and move forward.

that would be our recommendation not sure if you have questions or things i can comment on. but that is how we irrelevant want to approach this and move it forward so we can finds the best oig for the sheriff's department board.

when you meet individually with each member to solicit our input on the qualifications of the inspector general you will ask us for suggested accomplices to post and publicize the announce and want professional or other organizations or job boards to get the widest number of places to disseminate when it is done. correct. il take any inmutt now during our individual meetings and as we move ffrmd i need you all to source out where the candidates will be. gi want to thank you and i hope they offered at least a foundation and taken a lot of burden, i know that department of human resources is short

staffed. and i created a time line tasks and bench marks. it is meant to be a dynamic list not of the ig butt tasks necessary with quarter low reports and the like. i have included the possibility of 4 community meetings. input on qualifications of inspector general and that in tandem as your team as well as the consultation and labor team worked finalize the inspector general's job posting. i wanted to let you know that florez indicateed me she would

send me the list of organizations and trade associations she at the madison, wisconsin office of police oversight sent out. we do have additional resources. and i like you to review that time line and let us know if they are realistic deadlines. thank you y. thank you. i like to mention that i gathered 12 j.w. descriptions for somewhere director positions around the united states. i had done a revision i will forward to you incorporates elements.

again, thank you member soo for even without a title doing the person w. numerous members of the board have been asking for time table and asking for the work to get done. i mroesht you stepping up in that leadership role. even though this is not your task and thank you for create and taking time above and beyond what i think is expects of a regular board member to permit work. will i. welcome input from other members and looking pardon to working with the upon community and having community input.

i already it members of the community i do think we -- should have 4 community meetings. if necessary language interpreters. in the draft job posting i do include that we as a city and county subskroib to -- culturally rope delivery of services from what was called the equal access of service now the san francisco language ordinance. i want to make sure we are inclues exist get input.

ip support commune meetings and think these are our first meetings in the community they should have a focus on the charter. biholding public meetings and soliciting input from importance incarcerated in the city. and receive operations and jail conditions. . president wechter i want to be focused and so we will have those meetings but i want to issue sensitive we are focused on qualifications of the inspector general and the extent we -- go to a facility and solicit comments and family

members of those inparseerated we should guff but focused of getting i job posting out there. i don't want to get distracted by having more than one topic. i am make a motion we ask dhr to move forward with the process. meeting with each us to solicit our opinion. on hashould go in the job description and gather information about places to post it. >> i have a follow up question. >> for sean do you believe a

draft can be presented by next meeting? thank you. that is my hope. there are factors. i think that leads to another question that i would hope you can provide me, which is is there a point person i can work with on the board to have discussions and ask questions. and what manner if i am not able to get a hold of member or questions somebody i can have that discussion with? would be helpful and informative. why i'm happy to serve in that capacity. i would recommend that member soo and myself since we were part of the committee and specific low -- member soo did the work. and drafting this and have been

doing this work. i think that -- if want to have a point person given the amount of work of creating a work product. i would believe that -- member soo would be the best individual. have a first community meeting this month but this mr. shellborn you indicated you prebl have an hr version of the ig job description and pair 3 that we would have -- a second and third community meeting. so -- and i welcome anything other questions or anything you need -- to make sure we are on

the time line for the process. i think the board should vote on we have a motion before us. >> could you restate that motion? that we move forward authorizing dhr to move forward on encrewment of the ig middle easting with each of us to solicit our thought qualifications and suggests to post thing job description. >> second >> public comment.

we have no callers. thank you for being presents to answer questions and lend assistance. >> we will take the vote on the motion for dhr to move forward. vice president carrion. >> aye. >> member nguyen. >> aye. >> member palmer. why aye. why member soo. why aye. >> president wechter. why aye. >> motion passes. i like to make a motion i serves

a point person to coordinate. and incorporate input from all board members. you and member so to work together as the point person. can we do that? >> the city attorney? >> it is 2 of you were to work together this would be a committee. so that would trig are public meeting notice requirements. >> i would like to request to speak. at this point i do believe that the appropriate person should be member soo. since august the members had been requesting president week her create priorities. work on citying community member

meetings. these have been battles that have been fought to the downfall of what we are supposed to do. now after, after able to fight toward getting w done. having member soo doing the work. i don't think tell be appropriate for president wechter to come in. my perception hoe is an obstructionist in this regard in allowing us to wanting us to move forward with the actual work we are supposed to be doing. it is unfortunately. my interactions have been

negative. and bills respectful. i believe i'm not the only woman of color who had this experience. at this point, i don't have the confidence in president wechter to move us forward in the direction to hire an ig i don't think it has been demonstrated the past 6 machinings of failed leadership since august and ask our board members rescue noise where the work is getting done. it is common women of color attorneys doing the w and someone swooping in. we have an experienced attorney who has experience draft and i reporter. part of recruitment for

executive director position in a commission for status of women this is when we want to mack myself the skill set we have which is personal. i understand the argument may be that president wechter had experience in oversight boards for a time but here we near a new oversight board and post floyd era we have thankfully more diversity, more diverse perspectives being shown. things are changing because the things the way things were done before in the past 10-20 years have been a problem. so i scholarship the members to recognize the work and the skill set and the specific knowledge base that member soo has.

we have been waiting since august and asks for things. i can give a list but rather focus like i keep sigh saying on getting the work done that the votersment us to get. member soo demonstrated a commitment to doing so and for that reason i would reject that vote. >> i don't want to get in a personal dispute i'm sorry you foal had way about me. i will state they have spent significant conditional amount of time doing research off this issue. gathering the 12 job descriptions of similar positions i sent to all board members several months ago and at your request finding someone who can speak had not used the recruitment firm and i did thought i made it clear that i

wanted to participate and would be happy to work on deteriorating the job description but was not does not have an opportunity to. i don't believe i have not put in effort on this i don't think i become and forth is useful. i think that if other members have comments i would like to hear that and then. no audio. at this time. it took months get to this point. we don't need any of this we need to move forward with the work. also at no time during the last meeting recording will

demonstrate for those interested in learning exactly what happened. review the recording and not take it from bheem were not involved or -- who especially not present for the entirety of the meeting. it is obvious and clear that no time president wechter asked to join. i mentioned you would be great on it. there has been and in fact he did participate as an bencher. i like to have those 2 factual situations clear. the record speaks which is the recording of these proceedings. dooring members have comments on this issue? gi understands board member soo

and president wechter both doing good work and trying to get the oig job description out and hired. so -- i understand -- board member soo wants to participate as the point person and also president wechterments to as well. i would recommend we talk about that subcommittee again so everybody can have a voice in it. >> the subcommittee. >> so. since you want to participate point person and board member soo has an interest we should recontract subcommittee. i believe the issue raise exclude had issues with and the city attorney mention if we have 2 people we need have one person only if we have 2 people we have all the notice requirements.

sthal stop us from being able to dot work individual low that point person will do because every time thereupon is a meeting every time there is an e mail anything drafted needs to be specially noticed for a meeting. we need to select one in order to move forward. and not have any issues with sending one e mail or -- to sean. if there is 2 members on that is a meeting that is an unlawful act. we can't do this. >> i think -- board member approximate afuhaamango volunteered be a part of that. that woulding bring it to 3. right? >> that's community meeting this is is only from my understanding, this is only to

be the point person. this with sean and hr. this is in the to say each individual member will not have an opportunity top meet with dhr regarding their comment specials statements. so each us will have independent process. i believe that the rolled be to ensure it is a lodgist cal tracking moving and pushing it forward. forward. substantively the board has to make a collective decision. we have to have an approval and motion. and that would be i think a way where we could support member soo in the work that she has. approximatements to continue to do. that each person opinion and especially going become to the constate wents and getting them.

my thoughts on this is leadership has to also galvanize the group example delegate as well. these are 2 important factors in being a good leader. president is diligent in his focus on making sure we get the right inig but i think this is an opportunity for to you trust your colleague and board member and allow her to proceed with the work she has developd and developed in a timely fashion and would allow her to move this part of our collective responsibility forward. and then could be other agenda items and issues you and the rest us could w on as limp that

will give you an opportunity to delegate just different issues and topics and -- and -- other members. we show up as a team and move this forward. we have been waiting for a language time to get this ig right? and so whatever we can do to stream line the process and move it faster in our interest and those we serve. gi appreciate the sincerity of your thoughts and the manner, i will follow your add vice. member palmer. >> i would like to say thank you to my fellow board members, i don't need a title to dot work

i'm a very busy public attorney and schedule 4 hearing in this first quarter and issued pleadings my interest is being efficient and having as few meeting and getting enough public input this is my interest. we waited for a time line. that's why i say drafted a time line of our obligations among low exit don't minds being a point purn know i have been a lead cochair of standing committee for the california democratic party and managed twine writers every other year sometimes not continuing member and turn out a work product. il say if i have to sacrifice slope i do i had a lead cochair who did not dot w and spent 70 hours a week before alone on that plat form in addition to my

workir slept in front of my report of i report work of hr i have experience in interviewing and qualifications of a department head as well and i understands the difficulties with civil service. of but approximate in her other appointee in member brook upper and killer concern approximate she has been supportive of the budget and offered members of her budget office to give us guidance. i will offer up moiz to continue to do the work i fully continued is easier to have one point

person had it come to finalize language and does in the mean that any board member comment and thoughts are ignored but president, this is had i tell junior upon attorneys or lustudents you can't kept on pulling more information without solidify and documenting. you could get yourself in an a cycle looking over documents. i rescue noise other jurisdictions have documents but that is why i have been electric to other jurisdictions who have someone established. because we were turning back and forth for the documents and carrying over agenda items. i notice we have not hit 2 hours yet and got all the items i wanted get on the agenda done when i sought draft of the agenda and the budget was last that did not make sense that is

a prior we need push forward. i'm happy we got everything. next is business cards id and photos we have not didn't basics. i'm willing to volunteer and like to we don't need to do this as a committee but also have the community meetings set in parallel with deteriorating and until it is final the posting goes tout is i dynamic document for input and thank you for the confidence. i don't know if we need a motion i would be human ordvice president carrion if you make it. why move toville member. why i'm sorry well is a motion mr. chairman president wechter do you with draw your motion. >> yes and thank you member soo for your willingness to take on this responsibility.

bit outside the described scope should be sdefred a later meeting. but the socialing mode why policy you provided the draft could be discuss in the this item. does that make sense. thank you. i think at this time i would like to continue the social modia policy discussion and put it in a broader media policy. and i say this because i was quite taken aback by the things articles that were forwarded to me about our board and alining vice president carrion and myself. that to me brings dishumanor toor board. and i'm not and the quotes i don't need to say their name its is in the article. that's why i had spoken up early

be in simple black? i think it would be consistent with if we were to choose design one it have the code in black. approximate i thinkien if it make its easy i have an old black berry reading these code system challenging for my little black berry. [cannot hear speaker] >> we would be consistent with the gold seal like the other cities and a raised gold. >> secretary, i had a gold emboss exclude over the years it became flat if there is a cost that matters to people they have

next item. thank you member soo for future meeting i appreciate this and i would like other members to also make suggestions for either specific topics or generalized goals and like to see us move toward. obviously things may mum that will be priorities that will want to put on the agenda. but i feel we are limited meeting witness i among. i'd like to move considering apointing committee and like you exalt also member brookter and afuhaamango to community with dan since can't with mow on suggestions for potential committees you might want to

serve on. so i think we are a small board and having committees requires you to have notice. and -- i then and there early on you talked about having additional meeting i was that premature unless we knew when he had to do and how time was

spentful feare efficient like today. we don't need committee and if we do take that at a timer. it behoofs us to be well verseod jail operations and site visits i don't think we need to consider committees. our focus is on the ig job posting i don't want to get ahead and i like to follow step by step until we get to the tasks. i will talk about that and if we are finished like to suggest other future item theorys for mr. leung's plate. i didn't will say we can have committees if nobody is interested in serving if members are interested in serving. let me know. i can, point something to form committees. i will let you all speak with

your feet. >> i will say i do value have the per spektdive of my community or board members. i think that it brings i bit more texture and more perspective we would not have. i thank you is personal. had it come to the issues i think that we are discussing incarceration and all of the press being issues. i think it is important for us to work together i'm happy to work with each one of you. and moving forward you know i hope that this is a moment in this board where we are moving forward and getting things done it seems we are. it took a minute. we are here i'm looking forward it working with everyone of you. and this moment i grief agree,

prein tour given when our tasks are priorities are. . and this we. i don't see community members should meetings should be stopping. we should have regular community members on all of these issues and manage this we continue going of i don't find right now, this time, the need of committees can be valuable at certain points. >> yea. joof when the time come i would love to be proactive in jail condition and able to roach out to the people residing in those place and upon getting their feedback for social mode why approximate out reach.

commencements being made we should have a point person to make comment to the media so far weave agree on our voice. i think theuneified voice makes a unified team temperature makes us better and more efficient and builds trust with the communities to stay on message that is important we are -- solid. >> would you like to be that point person? on the social combleefd and stuff? >> that is something we discuss a bit further. but you have a certain expertise. that would be valuable in that role. i than we will consider that -- at a different agenda item. but i agree with member soo for

the sake of time, it a benefit for us to focus that before the committees. men later but i agree with her now at the present moment we focus had we have before us we have a lot on our plate. [cannot hear speaker].

less i think we need to do that and a discussion of id badges. if we have plastic if we have a badge that looks like the worn officer although we are not or a baby star. but down the road had we do facility visits. it is important we have photo id's ready. the hr person asked them on put it in. i of course you said you were looking bo it. he said he would ask thoim if you in i will check with him again. >> i think there is we use air model with the other boards that have in place and go with what they have. we stream line the process. in terms of credentials. >> i agree with you. member leung we were not able to

take our photo and the sensitivity of doing the facility we modify to have additional identification. thank you. we had an agenda item postponed report if the historyy department we need to put back on the agenda i had community members talk to mow about issues they are concerned about regarding the jails. like to get the sheriff's department and making regular reports to us on the sheriff's department activities. staffing and -- programs. and issues. >> and so -- president wechter that's had i had on the time line. recognition of reports from the history's office as we gear toward the quarter low report and buffer continue welbe back to another annual report.

i understand there were complaints and other things and disciplinary actions that might have been sustained. secretary leung we may want to incorporate the things from the history's office intt report so we are not ignoring what d ph and the sheriff's office has done. next among member palmer afuhaamango and care yen their terms xroir and hope you reapplied again. i value all of your inmutt and think we have only beguvenl i hope that will make this public now i hope you are all reappointed so we can continue.

and i would be help to speak on your behalf if we need to have that. because we took offlet and the hiccups it would serve the city that we stay together. and until at least our term allows the inspector to take office. upon then we can cook and then but you know, i'm -- selected in pointed sf in our -- so by the people if they feel there is somebody else better than me, i can concede to that. >> i think you if you remember when i came up with mules. i said if they were making the choice.

i'm happy you are here. irregularities head of jail i believe it is fortunate have michelle phillips open to come before us.

in her first year she gotten riff revows how she handled the office. and that's a hard seat. oakland had a lot of difficult ies. i'm sure she is busy now. with the issues with another police chief. on the approximate in the hot seat 10 police chiefs in the last 10 years is not good. i feel strong low we have michelle phillips speak at the next meeting. i will consider there are other practical tigzers with the similar level experience involving investigative model agencies the oig will be who could speak to how they established offices. gee understand that i think this

come with staffing the office down the road. i want to keep the folk xus be fortunate. in the past if we had a meeting like tonight we could accommodate 2 speakers. i want time exactly have more community feed become. soip want time for community and public meant. and include kathy lee if berkley has 33 years experience the last 7 years was with accountability and the director of accountability and spent time as innerim or police rerowel officer and time as the director of the police accountability. they are priorities there. and i think that in april tell

be a complimentary to have a report on jail healing. down the road you notice once we have the inspector general's posting out there i want to begin a cycle of community engage and want have assist annual chief carter because she does a lot of community out roach. and so i would expect this we can participate in cal dpars because they are social we would not have to notice if there are more than -- a quorum. >> okay. public comment. was there other discussion.

>> it's great to see everyone kind of get together and prove, that you know, building our culture is something that can be reckoned with. >> i am desi, chair of economic development for soma filipinos.

so that -- [ inaudible ] know that soma filipino exists, and it's also our economic platform, so we can start to build filipino businesses so we can start to build the cultural district. >> i studied the bok chase choy heritage, and i discovered this awesome bok choy. working at i-market is amazing. you've got all these amazing people coming out here to share one culture.

>> when i heard that there was a market with, like, a lot of filipino food, it was like oh, wow, that's the closest thing i've got to home, so, like, i'm going to try everything. >> fried rice, and wings, and three different cliefz sliders. i haven't tried the adobe yet, but just smelling it yet brings back home and a ton of memories. >> the binca is made out of different ingredients, including cheese. but here, we put a twist on it. why not have nutella, rocky road, we have blue berry. we're not just limiting it to just the classic with salted egg and cheese.

>> we try to cook food that you don't normally find from filipino food vendors, like the lichon, for example. it's something that it took years to come up with, to perfect, to get the skin just right, the flavor, and it's one of our most popular dishes, and people love it. this, it's kind of me trying to chase a dream that i had for a long time. when i got tired of the corporate world, i decided that i wanted to give it a try and see if people would actually like our food. i think it's a wonderful opportunity for the filipino culture to shine. everybody keeps saying filipino food is the next big thing. i think it's already big, and to have all of us here together, it's just -- it just

blows my mind sometimes that there's so many of us bringing -- bringing filipino food to the city finally. >> i'm alex, the owner of the lumpia company. the food that i create is basically the filipino-american experience. i wasn't a chef to start with, but i literally love lumpia, but my food is my favorite foods i like to eat, put into my favorite filipino foods, put together. it's not based off of recipes i learned from my mom. maybe i learned the rolling technique from my mom, but the different things that i put in are just the different things that i like, and i like to think that i have good taste. well, the very first lumpia that i came out with that really build the lumpia -- it

wasn't the poerk and shrimp shanghai, but my favorite thing after partying is that bakon cheese burger lumpia. there was a time in our generation where we didn't have our own place, our own feed to eat. before, i used to promote filipino gatherings to share the love. now, i'm taking the most exciting filipino appetizer and sharing it with other filipinos. >> it can happen in the san francisco mint, it can happen in a park, it can happen in a

street park, it can happen in a tech campus. it's basically where we bring the hardware, the culture, the operating system. >> so right now, i'm eating something that brings me back to every filipino party from my childhood. it's really cool to be part of the community and reconnect with the neighborhood. >> one of our largest challenges in creating this cultural district when we compare ourselves to chinatown, japantown or little saigon, there's little communities there that act as place makers. when you enter into little philippines, you're like where are the businesses, and that's one of the challenges we're trying to solve.

>> undercover love wouldn't be possible without the help of the mayor and all of our community partnerships out there. it costs approximately $60,000 for every event.

undiscovered is a great tool for the cultural district to bring awareness by bringing the best parts of our culture which is food, music, the arts and being ativism all under one roof, and by seeing it all in this way, what it allows san franciscans to see is the dynamics of the filipino-american culture. i think in san francisco, we've kind of lost track of one of our values that makes san francisco unique with just empathy, love, of being acceptable of different people, the out liers, the crazy ones. we've become so focused onic maing money that we forgot about those that make our city and community unique. when people come to discover, i want them to rediscover the

magic of what diversity and empathy can create. when you're positive and committed to using that energy >> be successful without working with the surrounding bay area counties to address a global pandemic that impacted our city state country and entire world so significantly. i am so proud of our public health response and what we were able to do to lead the way in san francisco. in

fact, we are one of the most dense cities in the country and we saw one of the lowest death rates for covid anywhere and we should be proud of that. [applause] sunday was the 50 anniversary of roe versus wade and why are we here? why do we have the district attorney, diana beckten here and state senator from another county and our district attorney brook jenkins and other representives from our local to our state to our many of our officials from all over the bay area region. why are we here today? we are here because we understand we just celebrated the 50th anniversary of roe v wade last year, the rights of women to choose how they take care of

their health by not granting access to abortion in places all over the united states is absolutely a direct threat against women's health, period. [applause] so, we are here because kimberley ellis, the director of the commission on the status of women came to me and to other women throughout the bay area to talk about how are we going to respond. as places like texas deny women the right to get an abortion and to take care of their health and to make decisions about their bodies, what happens when those women need help? they come to places like california. what is going to be our response not just in san francisco, but what's going to be our response

in california? last year women came together and proposition 1 was passed. solidifying in our constitution [applause] solid ifying in our consitution in california as a whole we will not take away a women right to choose and what does that mean for various counties and the work that needs to be done? it wasn't just be the work of major cities like san francisco, los angeles, it has to be our collective responsibilities to deal with the challenges for any woman that comes to us and expresses a need for support. that is where organizations like planned parenthood come into play and so grateful guilda gonzalez is joining us today as well because of they work, fight, advocacy and i remember guilda time when people were like, couple years back, why are we still fighting so hard

to protect roe v wade, it is a done deal? we see as of last year, it is not a done deal and we have to fight every single day to protect it so we are so grateful for partners like planned parenthood who continue the fight all over our country. today [applause] today i'm proud to announce that this bay area response, this bay area collective and what we are going to do to make sure we are all working together to provide solutions, to make sure that our state-wide organization is supported so they can provide a comprehensive solution to addressing this challenge, this is why we are here today. this is why this is important and i again, introducing kimberley ellis want to thank her for her work and leadership because she recognized under the commission on the status of women working with the san francisco department of public

health, we can't just do it alone, we need bay area partners, we need to come together and so she helped to lead the way in developing this partnership so we can work collaboratively together with investments with resources, with political support, with policy, and with the things that are necessary to insure that women's right to choose and the healthcare of women in the city of san francisco and the bay area and in the state of california will continue to be protected. ladies and gentlemen, please welcome kimberley ellis to talk about this collaborative. [applause] >> thank you madam mayor. as one of the most prominent city leaders in the country, particularly as a black woman, your voice is critical to supporting women and pregnant people's right to access the full range of

reproductive healthcare services. we are deeply grateful for your continued and unwavering support from day one. [applause] good afternoon everyone. i'm kim berley ellis. my remarks today will be dedicated to those individuals who lost their lives to senseless gun violence in monterey park, in san mateo county and a couple days ago in oakland and their families. whether we realize it or not, all of these issues are connected and intersectional. i am honored for the opportunity to be in community with you and to welcome all the reproductive justice leaders who joined us today. we are here today for three reasons. number one, to commemorate this past

sunday, which would have been the 50 anniversary of roe v wade by officially launchish ing the san francisco bay area abortion rights coalition. [applause] this is the very first ever bay area regional collective of municipal and county governments and reproductive health justice stakeholders who are committed to working together to reinforce and reimagine the local reproductive healthcare system in this new post-roe era. number two, we are here to visually demonstrate the collective commitment of this coalition. take a look around the room, folks. our squad represents the beautiful diversity that is california. it is both deep and broad, hailing from all 9 of the surrounding bay area counties. and finally, we are here today because the fight for

abortion rights and reproductive freedom and justice was never about abortion. the fight for abortion rights and reproductive freedom and justice has always been about power and control over women and girls agency and bodily autonomy. we are here today to state loudly and unappall jtically, we will not back down and we will never go back! [applause] and the launch of the bark coalition is just the beginning. we are in this fight together and this time we are playing for keeps. i would now like to welcome guilda gonzalez the ceo of planned parenthood, northern california. guilda. [applause] >> good to see a lot of friends here today. thank you

kimberley. and planned parenthood northern california is proud to be here today and proud to be a coalition member. as we were heading into this last weekday, i had advised my team to take the time on sunday to reflect and get some rest, because we needed to be clear-minded and strong as we advance the next phase of reproductive freedom while providing high quality healthcare to all patients coming to us. because the truth is, roe was never enough. so, we should not spend our time working just to restore it, instead, we must be on a bolder path aiming higher to achieve true standard of reproductive freedom

that the insure access to care that is equitable, affordable and safe for all. [applause] our reprotective freedom movement must also be pro-democracy, pro-civic engagement, pro-voter turnout, because the overturning of roe, was a direct result of election outcomes from school board to the president of the united states. every election matters to secure reproductive freedom. i believe our movement stands on the right side of history and that is why i know we can do this. together we are stronger, together we can fight harder and longer, together we win.

thank you again for including us in this coalition and in this announcement today and i'm honored to introduce senator waha. [applause] >> thank you guys. so, my name is (inaudible) and i'm very proud to be here to stand with our brave mayor london breed, our director kimberley ellis and so many other women here as well as alleys in positions that really do make a difference and all here today. this issue is about choice, but it also incompasses everyone's choice. it is about men, women, children, the lgbtq community, transmen and women and all of us sitting here together to understand what choice really mains. i stand in front of you as a

former foster child and when we talk about that and we talk about the issues that really plague our communities, we don't get at the root of it. we don't have paid family leave. we don't have safetynets. some of us don't have health insurance, so we are standing here with activists and allies that provide healthcare, that receive healthcare and at the same time i want to make sure it is not lost upon any of us when we talk about choice and freedom and democracy. i'm also the first (inaudible) elected to the california state legislator and you see what is going on there. [applause] thank you. women's rights are being stripped away and when we saw roe v wade fall that is just the first step in individuals trying to take other people's rights away and when we talk about equity and inclusion, giving

somebody more rights does not take anything away from you. so, as we celebrate our diversity, as we come together, we also need to understand that every single election does matter. we in the city of hayward, i was a former hayward city council member, we have planned apparent hood in the city. there is protest in front of the planned parenthood weekly. why? in the heart of the bay area we should not see this and we like to say these issues and problems are somewhere else. they are in our backyard. if we continue to allow them to speak more then us, to be at the table more then us and these individuals destroying our rights, toppling our progress, we have a problem and so the work isn't done, and i really want to thank the san francisco leadership, the department of women and children and director

kimber ellis just to take a stand on this in particular. no other city has done that so i want to thank mayor breed and director ellis for your leadership and i want to highlight the importance of us coming together and consistantsly raising our voices and we are united together and stronger together and i really appreciate being here. thank you. [applause] >> so, before we have san francisco district attorney brook jenkins come up i are did want to share sh oof the distinguished guest. we have a lot so i'll break it up. i think it is really important to speak the name into the record of those who are here today, because the fight for abortion rights despite the false narrative woven into the fabric of this nation are not a woman's issue. abortion rights is everyone's issue. [applause] and so it is important

to demonstrate who is in the room. in addition to our speakers that we have lined up, we also have assembly woman kayhan. california commission on status of women chair lauren bab. california commission on the status of women executive drether holly martinez. access reproductive justice executive director jessica picny. california state director shannon (inaudible) we also have san francisco supervisor joel dario. san francisco city attorney and also the cofounder of legal alliance for reproductive rights, david ch i. san francisco city

administrator, carmen chiu. the office of hillary ronan, san francisco supervisor. we also have san francisco supervisor connie chan. san francisco human rights commission executive director dr. cheryl davis. san francisco human rights commission chair, karen clapton. san francisco status of women commissioner (inaudible) status of women commissioner (inaudible) zuckerberg san francisco general hospital women's option med ical center dr. eleanor drake. that was a lot. [applause] we also have marin county health human service director (inaudible) i will let our da come up and then start the list

again. madam da. >> thank you director and thank you mayor breed for putting not only this coalition together but bringing us together today to promote the awareness of the issue and i'm glad to be a member of this coalition to do what i can to make sure that women and others have the right and access to this type of healthcare that they need. what we know is as much as we can try to protect the right, we have people who are working as we just heard to intimidate women from gaining access to the healthcare that we have made legal for them in california. that we have healthcare providers receiving threats that are the target of vilnsh and we as a city and as a state have to do more to protect those who are trying to gain access to their rights as patients and those who

are providing the care to them. [applause] and today as a part of the coalition is to make sure as a san francisco da office we are doing watt we need to do to let it be known loud and clear intimidation and violence and anyone who tries to get in the to provide these reproductive service will not be tolerated and held accountable because that is what we have to do. we can't just saying it we have to make sure we allow people to gain access without feeling they will be attacked or the subject of violence and so that is my commitment to our city and to our state and now i want to introduce my fellow district attorney from contra costa county diana beckton. >> thank you so much district attorney brook jenkins

and also thank you to our mayor for the vision as well as director ellis. i'm diana beckton, district attorney for contra costa county. after the dobbs decision june last year i took a pledge with 80 other prosecutors in the united states to protect a person's right to make their own reproductive choice. today i am here to state the pledge that i took is part of a plan. it is a unwavering commitment to use our expertise to insure that in the bay area and in california that this is a safe place and a accessible place for those who are seeking or providing reproductive care. it is a plan to strengthen our healthcare system in the bay area. it is a plan to

help manage the arrival of those from other parts of our country seeking reproductive care. it is also a plan that details the patient capacity of bay area clinics and hospitals, and a plan to help those with expenses who travel to the bay area seeking reproductive care. part of the reason why i took the pledge last year and why i i'm here standing today is because reproductive rights are also economic rights. reproductive rights are the rights of personal liberty, and reproductive rights are human rights. [applause] every person seeking reproductive healthcare and every person providing that care should have safe access. today i'm proud to stand with

my colleagues at the bay area abortion rights coalition as we lead the way in securing our liberties and seeking justice for everyone. we are stronger together and i stand with the same stance as district attorney brook to pledge that the district attorney's office will stand alongside all our other partners to protect those rights. and now it is my pleasure to introduce dr. grant cofax, director of san francisco public health department. [applause] >> good afternoon. it is a pleasure to be here and i want to thank mayor breed for her leadership and the leadership and vision of director

ellis and look forward to continued partnership with you as we work together. thanks to our proactive work and in anticipation of the unfortunate supreme court ruling the bay area is positioned as a regional collective leader in insuring reproductive healthcare and i'm so appreciative to the local and are regional leaders who are making this commitment. this is so important. in san francisco we recognize that abortion care and safe abortion services as a human right and essential to healthy living. whether or not you live in california, regardless of immigration status, there are options to access this vital healthcare service. restrictions on abortion care heighten gaps and health

disparities that have always existed. yet the san francisco department of public health under mayor breed continues to be a leader in serving people seeking abortion care and working to insure access to safe and timely abortion for san franciscans as well as others seeking care. our women's options clinic at zuckerberg san francisco general hospital lead by medical director dr. dry in conjunction with one of the other key leaders in the health department, dr. holly hammer, the director of ambulatory care has long been a leader insuring access to abortion for pregnant people in the bay area and nationally. the department remains committed to providing low cost low barrier abortion in other reproductive health services to all who rely on us for healthcare. dr. (inaudible) and colleagues stepped into the gap

in recent months to insure safe and affordable abortion care is accessible to all. in san francisco support is always available for people who need help. even covering cost, including people traveling from out of state and people with limited or no insurance. california offers medi-cal coverage for abortion rights through the eligibility for pregnant women program. abortion providers also offer free or discounted services or payment plans and connect people to financial assistance including such barriers to healthcare and abortion care, lodging, meals, child care, transportation and more. this is not only about our healthcare delivery system, this is making sure we support people wrap around services so they get services they need. [applause] what we know is that

reproductive freedom is essential at the local level, which is why i'm proud to be here today and reinforce of commitment with bay area abortion rightss coalition for critical abortion care access to maintain resilient reproductive healthcare delivery in spite of uncertain future. i on the behalf of the department am i committed to partnering with bay area neighbors to insure access to abortion care and comp rehensive reproductive healthcare for all. thank you. now i'll invite director ellis back to the podium. [applause] >> thank you dr. colfax. in closing i want to continue to share who is with us today. we have san francisco city assessor recorder (inaudible) director of communication for california on status women and girls darcie (inaudible) is here as well. we also

that went into getting everyone here today. i want to thank all the speakers. ypt to thank our incredible always there always on the right side of justice and equity and fairness and women, madam london nicole breed . your unwavering commitment to insuring that the least among us and those who don't have seats at the table, who's voices are not represented are brought into the room one way or another and so we want to thank you on behalf of everything you do every single day on behalf of this city. [applause] as you can see reproductive freedom starts at the local level. the groundwork of the initiative lays the foundation for critical abortion care access today and resilient reproductive healthcare delivery system for tomorrow.

we are inspired and fired up that each of you have prioritized the success of regional system coordination efforts in order to protect the health and safety of patients and their families in this post-roe era. onward together towards our radical reproductive justice and freedom. and now, i would like to ask all our guests to remain in their seats until after the speaker photo. i like to invite mayor breed and all the speakers to remain at the podium for a photo. staff will soon direct you with how you can line up for our first group photo. again, thank you all so much for being here today. onward.
