>> good morning, chair mandelman. i'm chair of the community advisory committee and i'm here today to report on the c.a.c. meeting held virtually september 22nd. the only item on your discussion agenda today that has substantial c.a.c. input is item 9, a motion of support to approve the 2022 prop aa vehicle registration fee strategic plan policies and other related project matters. in response to a c.a.c. question about this seeming cost escalation of the paving project for which unused fillmore project funds are reprogrammed, program staff explained that the mission project costs had increased because public works added block to the project on the avenue to better coordinate with the safety project. so, it wasn't entirely owing to just cost increases over the last five years. during public comment, a question was posed about what was meant by more legible signage, quote, unquote, in the transit stop. sfmta staff explained that every stop would have at least a color-coded flag sign and small solar light to help readin

i see supervisor mandelman. >> supervisor mandelman: thank you, chair preston. i think the other -- in the sort of non-city hall context, i mean i do think there is potentially a good purpose or use of things like transferrable development rights and ensuring that buildings that otherwise would have development potential, but where that would be a, i think, from public policy perspective, a bad thing, we don't want to see that historic building demolished and replaced with a tall building, that there is a structure that allows for those churches or owners of those historic properties to, you know, get some of the value that they would get by plowing down a historic resource without plowing under the historic resource. so -- it is ingenious, it's weird. it's not exactly democratic socialist, or not even close [laughter], but it is, i think, a thing that does some good in different places, so... >> thank you, supervisor mandelman. yes, i have not landed on the right adjective to describe it, but one thing for sure, it's revenue-generating for the positive purpose

supervisor mandelman. >> supervisor mandelman: thank you, chair peskin. and thank you, colleagues, for hearing this again after it -- as the chair just indicated after this had been forwarded from this committee to the full board, the department of human resources identified an item that needs to be changed or set of items that needs to be changed. the legislation that we previously forwarded provided for the anonymous collection of data about people working for the city or applying with the city, that would be inconsistent with the city's practice for other demographic so those are the changes that the board made on the 5th. and so i hope to say that we can take public comment and then, again, move it forward to the full board with a positive recommendation as a committee report. >> chairman: all right. why don't we open up item number one to the members of the public. is there any members of the public who want to comment on this item. >> clerk: yes. members of the public call (415) 655-0001. the meeting id is 24810239510. and press pound and pound agai

supervisor mandelman? >> supervisor mandelman: i think it makes sense to open this up for public comment, and then, i will have to leave. >> chair preston: thank you. mr. clerk, let's open this up to public comment. >> clerk: thank you. mr. chair, we're looking to see if there are any callers in the queue. for those of you, if you were watching on cable channel 26, sfgovtv or other streaming link, dial 415-655-0001, enter meeting i.d. 2484-263-4825, and then press pound and pound again, then star, three to enter the queue, and operations informs me that there is one caller in the queue. >> hello. can you hear me now. >> clerk: please go ahead. >> thank you. david pillpel. in the past, not all civil grand jury reports have been thorough or meaningful, and some have been fairly disregarded by city staff. i think that's not the case this year. i think there was a great job done on all of these reports, and the staff and city responses have been pretty thoughtful and nuanced and the work that everyone has done

supervisor mandelman? >> i'm sorry if i missed this in the presentation but how does the city as the provider of these health plans ... how do we know ... how are we gathering information from our producers about the challenges they may or may notface ? we know there's a problem in behavioral health . internationally and in california. and we also know we hear stories about different providers including kaiser permanente. do we have a way of ... it's hard because we have so many people participating in our system but how do we think about how these wait times are impacting the employees or retirees or theirfamilies who are trying to access behavioral health services . >> thank you forthe question . i think in my tenure here at hss we become more sophisticated about what we measure and how we measure it. indeed, this year we are in the throes of having conversations withall our plans about what a measurement plan is . in the field of mental health however and the purchaser world a very large healthcare purc

over to supervisor mandelman. >> supervisor mandelman: thank you, chair preston, and i want to begin my extending my thanks to the members of the civil grand jury. i especially want to thank the foreperson, who somehow found time to do work on these grand jury reports while saving all of us from covid as part of the city's emergency response, so extraordinarily lucky to have ellie shaffer in our city and fortunate to have the grand jury tackle a problem which has come to symbolize a problem that the city once knew how -- some of the challenges around capital delivery, and i think it undermines confidence in city government, and of course in our ability to get good projects done, but really beyond that. so this is a very important grand jury report, but it is also complicated for our consideration in that conflict with the contractor's on going, and as i look at some of the responses that have been prepared by other departments -- and i look forward to hearing from them today -- and as i think about our engagement with the findings, recommendations, and the city's responses, it seems

>> chair: supervisor mandelman. >> thank you, mr. chair. colleagues, thank you for considering this ordinance. lgbtq people, until recently, have largely been ignored in the collection of information by all levels of government. thanks to legislation in (indiscernable) san francisco now requires many city departments to collect sexual orientation or gender departmentcation idenn on their clients. it will help us to determine if we're effectively and equitably meeting those needs. the ordinance today will expand (indiscernable) to collect sogi data. the city and account of san francisco is the largest employer in san francisco, with approximately 37,000 employees who reflect the diverse communities that constitute san francisco. the city currently collects certain anonymous demographic information, but we do not collect data about the sexual orientation or gender identity. this is due in large part to chapter "e" of the city's code which prohibits it city from inquiring into sexual orientation, practices, or habits of city employees. chapter

supervisor mandelman? >> supervisor mandelman: this is a good and important piece of legislation. but in the time between getting voted out of committee and coming before us, department of human resources realized in conversation in departments that we ought to make changes to it. those changes are substantive. i will ask that we move amendments. then send it back to committee and it will come back here. the issue is that the legislation that we had been considering refer to the anonymous collection of that data. if we're doing this consistently, it needs to be confidentiality. there are some changes related to that and clerical cleanup item in there. the amendments are before you. i like to move the amendments. >> president walton: do we have a second? seconded by supervisor ronen. on the motion to amend. >> clerk: on the motion to amend item 31.
