. >> now, carla johnson who has been the driving task force for the mayor's office on disabilities. >> thank you, chair mar and supervisor christensen. i'm the supervisor for the mayor's with disabilities and 2 years ago we signed the americans with disabilities act and we had more than 500 people come and the theme was "it doesn't stop here" the reason is under the dream of the ada employment is really the portion that is unfulfilled. we really have not reached the numbers that i think the founders really expected when the ada was first signed and much of the public testimony back in 1988 and 1989 about the needs for this civil rights legislation focused on employment as an issue. people with disabilities is only 1/3 as likely to be employed from people without disabilities and their income is dramatically lower than a peer who doesn't have a disability. on average we only earn between 20 and $26,000 a year and nobody can live on that in san francisco. we can't truly lead independent lives until we have economic independence and meaningful jobs. i want to thank you, supervisor mar fo

i want to thank carla johnson and staff along with the many disabled peoples organizations for constantly raising aware snss and educating us. as a allah of the disability rights movement i learn from you every day. it is my pleasure acknowledge jessica lameen. the director of aids league rerl panels feowna [inaudible] independent living resource center who are leading in september a major pride event and state wide conference here in san francisco. marie joblong of community living campaign. kelly [inaudible] ihss public support and mark nelenson of community sevs of tool works. more information is all over the place. patient no more is the exhibit that was displayed. the ed roberts cams in berkeley gets it and san francisco state has it. direct action and organizing and making laws and implementing and enforcing laws. ada 25 bay area.org is when you can find information of the organizations we should support. at this moment i'll ask if carla johnson of the mayor office of disability and others would like to make comments. >> thank you so much president breed and supervisor mar for that

director, robert garcia and donna and ed wong and jonathan lions who i have done some work with, carla johnson and the others, the members of this group, i think you have a great initiative going here and we are more than happy to support it. we have done a lot of rework in our hiring program and there is a lot of opportunities to forward that work. so i look forward to doing that. >> thank you very much. are there any other speakers on this item? >> public speaker: my name is wendy and i'm a member of the public. i just wanted to say that i came up with some suggestions that if you could possibly implement quickly. for example, the sf mpa has a muni accessibility advisory committee. meets monthly. it would be nice if this was a stipend position. and i would also like the city to consider that any commission that is held should have some of us on their commission also again with a stipend. some outside contractors, the para transit coordinating council, they meet every other month or six weeks. 6 weeks. people are disabled and use the para transit and again, a stipend position. some of us have

i want to thank carla johnson and staff

you for all the work you have done and your colleagues and done an ed wong and special thanks to carla johnson for her leadership on this and i want to thank all of my colleagues on the advisory committee. too many to mention today because i will inevitably forget one. i want to thank all of them for their tireless work. many of them live day in and day out. i will go back to my job and that will have nothing to do with this. but these people have dedicated their lives to empowering people with disabilities. that's really what our members believe. we believe in empowerment through employment and that's what we believe the city and board of supervisors will continue with moving forward. thank you very much. >>supervisor eric mar: thank you and thank you to the fdr club as well iechl want to say for public comment we are going to limit speakers to 2 minutes, there is a softer buzzer that goes off. some people need more than 2 minutes and committee members can ask that question at that time. i have already called a few names. ann steiner, stephanie nichols, colleen stall eo, kerry goodwin. there

now we'll open up for public comment and thank you very much to monica and carla johnson, director of the mayor's office on disabilities. now we'll open up for public comment and the first speaker is jonathan lions. thank you very much for bringing awareness to this issue. >> thank you, jonathan lions, president of the democratic club for people with disabilities. first of all to be totally clear i am a proud city and county employee speaking on my time. i wanted to bring sincere gratitude from our members because of the support from you supervisor mar and the entire board of supervisors have added back in this budget go around to fund a position to actually mobilize and really be the sphere head, the czar for getting support for people with disabilities. a lot has been touched on already and i won't rehash them because i don't have the time. two of the biggest issues is we need to hire this position immediately. not to take anything away from the work of the department of human resources. but this issue is big enough to warrant a full time position to really sphere head this issue. 8

updates and my hope is that as the recommendations that people have gin today not only the four that carla johnson and others, but many others from the great recommendations from wendy on the stipends and commission and internship programs that i know we talked about in previous hearings that are a pathway to hiring to the entry level position expanding that to other ways that we are looking at rule 115 as only one role of the range of opportunities for people. i think it's an example of how much value the resources from the community there is in our city and what great department staff and departments that we have. so with everyone working together with a more permanent task force, i think we can accomplish a great deal more for this city. it was wonderful that for mr. rog an from the state council that we don't operate in a vacuole and we should be looking at state practice and how others will look to us to expand opportunities and civil rights and not just here but everywhere. i really appreciate the great work and i will again plug the disability festival for september 25th and 26 for californ
