ni nammy name is terrence hong, and i'm weren' one of the food program managers in san francisco. current history: in 2004, the current system was adopted. this system, for the better part of two decades, had served its purpose. iit has reported to the public a number based score, with both food safety, administrative violations and the structural violations. unfortunately, the current system, as mentioned, has outlived its usefulness. to share with you what all food inspectors know: we're not the most important person in term of food safety. the most important people are the operators. we're just the checkers of the checkers. it pales in comparison to the 365 days a year that the operator is there in his or her facility. because this scoring system can be too heavily influenced by non-food safety incidents, i already mentioned the administrative and structural, it doesn't necessarily reflect the current score of the conditions the patron might go into. as a result, too many of the partners, too many of the operators, have lost faith in the system. so the san francisco department

food insecurity are at high risk for preterm birth. the cost of not being able to eat today can have permanent negative health consequences. despite the programsilable to address the issue, food insecurity remains high and continues to rise. in a survey of san francisco families on wick more than half were food insecure. in the face of this growing problem, it's important to prioritize the issue and take stock of all the available resources. as a follow up to the hearing i held, i'm submitting a request to the budget office to do analysis of our current resources in programming and to assess what our departments are doing to track this increasingly important issue, including assessing what data is collected on food insecurity and ascertaining what further data we need. analyzing what other cities are doing. understanding what the tools the city is using to measure the success our current -- of our current food insecurity programs. and determining what program and resources it would take to make all of our families food insecure. i look forward to the results and for making any changes as needed. also, colleagues, i want to thank you again for
