melissa parra. melissa, i know you have information. can you share with us the latest that you have? >> yeah, first of all of this is unfolding and we're all trying to learn more about this. this happened very early this morning. what i can tell you is there is a total of 30 victims. this is a staggering amount. this includes three adults dead, many more in critical condition. we don't have a lot of information, you are seeing video that was taken from the scene this morning. baltimore police say this happened at a block party and the brooklyn holmes neighborhood just after 12:30. now that is south of the downtown waterfront, the iconic baltimore waterfronts. we're told it almost two dozen of those victims transported to local hospitals. now a short time ago we learned from baltimore's braydon scott whose held office since 2020. this morning, he's taking a moment to stress the need for more gun laws, asking anyone who knows anything to come forward because, katie, so far no suspects have been publicly identified. so far no one is in custody but katy the mayor was really, really stressing the fact that they are doing everything they can to -- we will find them. they put a number of different ways to contact baltimore police. again, you're seeing crime scene video from what unfolded this morning. so many questions are remaining open, and unfortunately not a lot of answers at this moment. we can imagine how many families are looking for answers, wondering how their loved ones are doing. remember 30 different victims. again, two adults dead, three in critical condition. katie, a lot tangs in the balance here. it would be great to find out what exactly unfolded at that block party. >> i know you get that information, melissa, you'll be able to share with your viewers. melissa, thank you for getting us started. just moments ago, i actually had a chance to talk to baltimore's mayor. >> joining me now is baltimore mayor, brandon scott. mayor, i appreciate you taking the time. it is a tragic morning for your city. these were joining me, you can give us a little more information than what we are having our viewers wake up to this morning. what can you share with us about last night's tragic event? >> well, listen, we have a mass shooting in the brooklyn home section of baltimore city. it was carried out by some coward who decided to open fire as they were celebrating brooklyn day an annual event that they have in the brooklyn homes every year. we have to folks who are deceased, 30 total injured, and three in critical condition right now. this is all of the information about the shooting that we have. the homicide detectives, who are the best in the country, are working. we will bring those responsible to justi

melissa, any thoughts? melissa: i remember from the argument -- i think it was justice kagan who when they were going back-and-forth on what the standard should be and what the standard may mean, said something along the lines of who has not written a dissent saying the majority completely misinterprets what the statute says, not a fair reading and so i think it is -- you are right it is and other standard that crosses over but sometimes it is in the eye of the beholder. erin: i will take a step back. this case really was -- everyone wants to focus on how do you take the cases that came out 6-3 and say those of the big cases and the court was 6-3 in all of the cases. this undermines that narrative completely. this is a huge case. if it had come out a different 6-3 with a different result it would be at the top of everybody saying this is one of the biggest cases of the term but because it did not come out that way and does not fit the narrative people put it by the wayside. i think it is important to think about all the big cases that came out this term and this is one of a couple that surprised. by the time of argument people had a sense of where it was going but there was a lot of talk at the getting of the term about it being a case that could be a 6-3 movement of the law in particular direction. if anything you see the chief justice aggressively holding together a majority with liberal justices in case that probably could pretty easily have been kicked on moot grounds. for those who are thinking about -- trying to process this court from a bigger picture perspective of where it is across-the-board. donald: we will turn it over to erin to get us started in our second round. each of our panelists will take a shorter time to summarize these next three cases. we are excited to learn about three more key cases. go ahead and get us started. erin: i will take us off with national corporatist counsel. this is one of the bigger surprises of the term. this is a dormant commerce clause case. those of you who follow the dormant commerce clause jurisprudence it is a little bit of a mess in part because there are multiple justices who don't think there is such a thing as a dormant commerce clause and those who do are not always on the same page. the court did reinforce the existence of the doctrine a few terms ago. they look like they were poised to breed some life into it again. the case involved what is known as the extraterritorial doctrine of the dormant commerce clause which constrains the degree to which one state can regulate either directly conduct in another state or in a manner that directly impacts conduct and takes place entirely in another state. the case involving california law that regulate the sale of pork in california, the lauper habited pork from being sold in california unless the sow was raised in compliance with a whole bunch of complex regulations which had a huge impact on the rest of the country. it accounts for 13% of the national market. produces almost none. it imports 99.8% of the pork it consumes. as a practical matter we are talking about a law that had the effect of forcing all the farmers who raise sows throughout the country to comply with regulations that don't exist in conflict with laws in other states. the law had been upheld by the ninth circuit and declared the supreme court's extra territoriality case as defunct. . it looked like the case was going to reverse instead it ended up reaffirming and while the vote count is complex here, you have different people disagreeing or agreeing on various different bottom lines for different legal reasons. there is one big take away and a secondary one. the first is the court unanimously agreed laws that have the effect of regular and conduct in other states are not subject to the virtually per se constitution of people that applies to the dormant commerce clause context. when you're talking about laws that have extraterritorial effects outside of the state, and they are actually discriminating against interstate commerce, that is the lens through which you are going to have to view a challenge to those types of laws. you then had a 5-4 decision on the second piece of the case which involved the pike balancing claim that argued the burdens of law imposed on interstate commerce out weighed whatever benefit the law provided to california and its residents. you had another more unusual lineup. the bottom line, just gorsuch offered the opinion. he was joined by justice thomas, justice sotomayor and justice kagan rejecting the pipe claim with dissenting justices being the chief justice, justice alito, justice kavanaugh and justice jackson. the majority concluded the claim could not go forward. a pretty bad decision all around for those of you like i do do a lot of dormant commerce clause cases. i will note a couple of quick silver linings. and then hear what andy and melissa have essay. a silver lining is the court did not throughout the clause entirely. there are some justices who want to do that. it looks like there is not a majority in the court that wants to do that. while the majority of the court rejected this pike claim, a majority reaffirmed the notion there are such a thing as pike claims and they can exist. sotomayor and kagan wrote separately to say we are not with the justices who would get. rid of the claims we just don't think this one succeeds. a motion to dismiss is hard to fathom. at least it is not dead. the third thing which to me is the interesting piece of this. this was not an ideal extraterritorial case. it was regulating the conduct outside. reglet in the conduct inside of california. it did not find the people raising the sows in another state. that seem to matter to the court. justice gorsuch's opinion did go out of his way to say this was not a law directly regular in conduct that took place in another state. in his view there a

melissa bell is also in lithuania. back to you, melissa. did we get any idea there about the die lemm mdilemma when it comes to ukraine membership in nato? will this incentivize russia even more? >> reporter: this has been the principal argument from those least favorable for membership. that any such decision, any such signal would surely escalate things further and really moscow beyond what they wish to do. what the more fervent stronger signal to the membership of ukraine, and i include of course the baltic states hosting this summit, that it is now time to go much further. and i think what you just heard was a lot of confidence that when the 31 members plus sweden meet later today, they will agree on that fairly maximus version of what the ukrainians could have hoped for. clearly what president biden set out was the impossibility of considering ukraine accession while the hostilities continue because nato by definition would be drawn into a conflict with russia and that was a nonstarter. but there are profound divisions on how strong the signal should be on when ukraine can join. what you just heard from jens stoltenberg was a very confident tone that they will be able to send the strongest signal that kyiv could possibly have hoped for. >> melissa bell, thank you. clare with us in london, what exactly does ukraine want bearing in mind what melissa just said about there being legitimate strategic concerns that actually give strong guarantees in the immediate but also in the future could escalate the condition flikt and r and avoid that? >> or saying that as soon as the war ends, that could incentivize russia to drag out the conflict. i think what they don't want is more of what they have heard thes last 15 years. lithuanian president called it more of those mansions that they could join some day. and frankly russia has invaded twice since 2008, so it is clear that that did not work as a deterrent. so they need something more concrete, they want a strong signal which is what stoltenberg is promising. ukrainian politician said millions want to hear the word invitation, they want to hear that, they have been waiting for that, are we going to hear that. and stoltenberg says just wait and see the text of the communique. so he wasn't

melissa murphy for ari starts right now. >>> welcome to "the beat," i'm melissa murphy. we begin with tantalizing reporting about the special counsel's coup probe and what it suggests about donald trump's criminal intent. jack smith has already sent trump a target letter and an indictment could come any day. today, "the washington post" reports the special counsel's team is scrutinizing text messages sent by trump's former chief of staff mark meadows. the texts are important because they appear to provide more evidence that trump's inner circle knew biden won the election. the texts in question show meadows joking about trump's election claims. referring to his son a lawyer having trouble proving trump's claims. in early december, meadows texted quote, my son found 12 obituaries and six other possibles depending on the voter roll accuracy. hirschmann said that sound more like it. maybe rudy can help him find the other 10 k. responding lol. such mockery of trump's claims was common place. quote, trump aides and other republican officials expressed deep skepticism or even openly mocked the election claims being publicly made by trump. the texts were sent about a month before trump's infamous january 2nd phone call with georgia secretary of state, brad raffensperger, here's what meadows said on that call. >> for example, mr. secretary, i can tell you, you said there was only two dead people that would vote. i can promise you there are more than that. and that may be what your investigation shows, but i can promise you there are more than that. >> remember, meadows also testified before a grand jury last month for jack smith. now, all of this is making trump world very nervous. trump and his allies have been, quote, feverishly speculating about the degree of meadows' cooperation with the smith probe. >> meadows has gone silent, and there are some big questions as to who special counsel jack smith really has. he may have some accolades of president trump who are in the only position that they can take, and that is the truth. >> the next texts could further undermine trump's ability to rely on the so-called costanza defense, made famous by "seinfeld," quote, it isn't a lie if you believe it. the texts are more evidence that trump insiders didn't believe the election lies. they build on what multiple witnesses have told the january 6th committee. trump didn't believe those lies either. >> he said words to the effect of, yeah, we lost, we need to let that issue go to the next guy. being president biden. >> and he was looking at the tv and he said, can you believe i lost to this effing guy. >> does the president really think that he lost, and he said, a lot of times he'll tell me that he lost, but he wants to keep fighting it. >> joining me now to break it all down is neal katyal, former acting solicitor general for the obama administration, and timothy, former chief investigator for the january 6th committee. tim, first to you, your committee first uncovered these texts from mark meadows, how do they fit into the broader evidentiary picture here, and how important are that? >> thanks for having me. your initial clip summarizes it perfectly. there was a lot of evidence in the days right after the election, and i think this text from mr. meadows to hirschmann was december 3rd. there was an acknowledgment that the election was lost. a lot of different people, as general milley, and alyssa farah and others said. over time, what's strange is that the evidence evolved, the rhetoric got increasingly disparate from the evidence. the claims keep getting repeated despite the fact that the evidence reinforced there was no fraud. president trump continued even at the ellipse to talk about dead voters in georgia when all the way back in december and throughout the pre-january 6 period, people rebutted and debunked that allegation. that's what's so curious. rhetoric and evidence don't match. you can imagine in the beginning, there's suspicion of voter fraud. they looked at it and did not find it. that does not square with the rhetoric. that's why it's important to jack smith. it's evidence of intent that he knew that what he was saying was false, nevertheless, continued to repeat it in an attempt to obstruct the official proceeding. that's essentially the theory or hypothesis that jack smith is investigating. >> with that in mind, neal, if this is going to the question of intent and what trump insiders knew when they were repeating these claims, how much more does jack smith need to really flesh this out if he is going to present this to a jury to perhaps establish the requisite mental state to establish a crime here? >> so, melissa, first of all, let me just begin by saying what a joy it is to see you in the chair and what a privilege to be with you today and have this discussion. i mean, i think my first reaction is just how sad it is for the country that right now we are on indictment watch for a former president of the united states, and honestly, it feels like just another monday. and i think it really speaks to the widespread nature of donald trump's criminal behavior. i think it's likely that we're going to see two more indictments of donald trump before barbenheimer leaves the theaters. it's really quite an astounding thing, and with respect to your question about criminal intent and this evidence, you know, we don't know everything that jack smith knows. i mean, that's the most important thing. we're getting, you know, certain reports piecemeal and the like, but what the january 6th committee already uncovered under tim's, you know, leadership, is, you know, evidence that donald trump knew that he lost t

"the new york times" reports that prosecutors have questioned multiple witnesses over the past few weeks, including jared kushner, and questioned them about whether trump had privately acknowledged in the days after the 2020 election that he had actually lost. the line of questioning suggests that prosecutors are trying to establish whether trump was acting with corrupt intent. remember, kushner also spoke to the january 6th committee last year. >> jared, are you aware of instances where pat cipollone threatened to resign? >> i kind of -- like i said, my interest at that time was on trying to get as many pardons done, and i know that, you know, he was always -- him and the team were always saying, oh, we're going to resign. we're not going to be here if this happens, as that happens. so i took it up to just be whining, to be honest with you. >> we also just learned moments ago special counsel jack smith requested a reply memo by trump and nauta to delay the documents trial until after the election. he said there's no reason for the delay and says the request boreds on frivolous. joining me now, christy greenberg and joyce vance. christy, what is your reaction to this breaking news about jared kushner and his interview and performance before the grand jury? >> well, according to that reporting, apparently jared kushner said it was his impression that donald trump believed that he had in fact had the election stolen from him. it's not surprising that jared kushner would say that, and it's not surprising that the special counsel would be interviewing everybody close to him to determine both witnesses that are credible and witnesses, i suspect like jared kushner, that were not so credible. >> so, joyce, jared kushner may or may not be credible, but he certainly seems to be very important to special counsel jack smith. why is he such a lynch pin to this potential prosecution? >> well, he could be important on a number of issues, melissa. for one thing, he was very involved in fundraising after the loss in the election, and if there are some indictment claims brewing about fraud in that process, he could be a very material witness there. but to christy's point, he's also a very interesting witness when it comes down to the president's state of mind, and of course i'll be a little bit legally nerdy with you -- under federal rule of evidence 704, witnesses can't offer their sense, their opinion on whether or not a defendant had a state of mind that's an element of the offense. but what kushner and other witnesses can testify to is what was the president told, who said it to them? what did the president say? and so the prosecution can elicit all of that evidence and they can argue to the jury what it means in closing argument. when you have a number of people who are present while the president is told he's lost the election and early on he seems to make comments, and there's testimony that he did about losing -- and it'

(paulo salta will present the item) welcome back. >> thanks. hello again commissioners. deputy director kaufman. program manager with office of community partnership. as noted this program was established for recommendation in the dignity fund community needs assessment process which revealed the need for service that allow older adults and adult with disabilities to interact with other community members, specifically youth and younger adults. these intergenerational programs create opportunities for these generations to recognize skills, needs and experiences with one another and help build and expand communities. i want to highlight a few benefits of intergenerational program called (indiscernible) opportunities for recally childhood senior intergenerational shared site programs in san francisco bay area. she included interviewed the grantees from the last term and participants. she notes, the most important benefit of intergenerational program for older adults is reducing loneliness. this leads to increased confidence, improved feelings of self-worse and decreased depression. these programs have also been shown to improve memory, cognition and social engagement. older adults engaging in activity report feeling happy, interested, loved, younger or needed. often older adults simply find joy in watching children. as mentors they are able to tap into a lifetime of experiences to guide the younger generation. they benefit from having a sense of purpose or responsibilities as rolemodels. in the term we will have 7 community based organizations provided intergenerational programming. two of which will be new providers, self-help for elderly and front porch. these organizations will provide programming and engage with 885 (indiscernible) one of the biggest challenges to intergenerational programming like all programs is funding and again it is great to see our department support this type of programming. i do want to end with a plug. there is wonderful video that the hsa communication team created on the das website and feature the executive director and bayview senior service and participants. it adds a lot of color to the documents you see in front of us. with that i seek approval and open to answering any questions. >> do we have any questions, comments from commissioners? >> i would love-how would we find the video? >> i can share the link with ravi and ravi can send it out to the commissioners. >> thank you. >> great. thank you. >> i'm completely supportive of this program and it was a very big and large and comprehensive document so dont mean anything by this, but could you give some examples of some generational programming? >> activities, story-telling is one of them. they all engage in that. sequoia living have a subcontractor where they talk about just events and challenges that different generations have gone through and there is a lot of similarities and they all talk about current events and injustice happening and there is a lot of camaraderie and deep conversations. there is also the fun events of painting crafts. in the video you will see engagement and there is gardening in that video. it is a wide array and great to see a wide spectrum of activities where deep conversations with happen and light, fun, airy out in the garden are also occurring. >> great. it seems some of the centers are places where both population groups gather for community centers and so it might provide a natural environment for this kind of programming? >> it is great to see just now a lot of the senior centers becoming community center where the doors are open and other generations are able to come and enjoy. >> thank you. >> i have one more question, because you know, i'm wondering how you do outreach to get intergenerational participation since it is generally through senior centers and i know my son is 21, he is in a completely different world even though he lives in the same house so wouldn't know how we would connect through some of the organizations? >> that is great. funding allows for that, as you can see. (indiscernible) is a subcontractor with one of these grantees as well. that organization has a well established cohort of volunteers that are younger and connecting these different organizations, the youth serving or older adult organizations and making sure there is financial connection and stability to make that connection happen is one of the ways we can be successful in that. >> great. >> any other questions comments from commissioners? do we have members of the public who wish to comment? >> any members of the public who like to comment on item f? moderator, please open the phone line for public comment. we'll allow time for callers to submit their request. moderator,b do we have caller in the queue? >> we have no callers in the queue. >> thank you very much. >> great. hearing no further request to speak, close public comment. is there a motion from commissioners to approve item 12f? >> so moved. >> moved by commissioner parker pinnington and seconded by commissioner bittner. can we please have a roll call vote?

(michael zaugg will present the item) it is all good. >> hello, i'm here. i have some more items for today. >> now that we have raised the bar, you will have a added dimension. it is big item so please go through it. >> this is big one so hoping to provide a graphic today. >> sorry, we need to make note of the fact one of the commissioners needs to recuse herself from this item because part is funding for a item she needs to recuse from. she will be doing that now. yeah, sorry. >> the map displayed here and included in your packet are the 41 community centers that this grant funds. each represented by a little pin on the map there of san francisco. this item are community service program, this is really one of our foundational kind of programs with das and really the city of san francisco. these are our community centers. this is kind of as a starting point of what this is, this is what we sort of know as senior centers or community centers. it is a service model that is sort of known everywhere and utilized throughout the world really. what we are doing here is each of these sites represents throughout the city, represents a dedicated space for older adults and adults with disabilities. a space that is reserved and to be filled with people and services designed to engage and enhance the cultural educational physical mental nutritional wellbeing of people visiting that site. across-these many community centers come in a lot of different shapes and sizes. we have kind of baseline offerings across them as reflected in the contract documents. that is our activities that are happening at the sites. we also offer translation services, helping people interpret documents, as well as social service component, which is allowing to have staff on site to help kind of typically with a quick transaction or phone call or quick coordination of something that maybe isn't requiring of a larger ongoing service we might offer elsewhere in the network of service. a new addition to this grant cycle, we have five pilot programs with the digital navigator process. this is five of the sites we are going to have a staff person on-site dedicated to assisting participants with digital or technology questions and that can mean things like one to one assistance, how do i do this, troubleshooting things, organized training for common requests, help subcribed to low income or reduced fee internet services to get that set up at their home, as well as helping them access other programs that are offered at das or city wide to access devices or other ongoing training or support for technology. the idea there is with this pilot is i think to just increase the avenues with which we address the digital divide, but also to kind of help identify our community centers as a place where someone can go with a tech nology question. maybe helping kind of answer one of those, where are the services or where do i go for service and identifying community centers as a place related to technology. beyond what is mentioned, there are many other things happening in the community centers. they are often colocated with many services we fund through different grants. these are aging and disability resource centers which provide information and referral for folks coming in. nutrition programs including congregate meal programs that were very popular pre-pandemic. during the pandemic served as a hub to transition to to-go meals like mubing in additional refrigerators or freezers to help adjust and meet that new pathway for services. we have public computer labs at some of the sites. exercise classes. intergenerational programs which we just talked about. we have choir programs which we just talked about. medicare counseling. naturalization. support and peer groups, lots of things happening colocated creating these spaces as offering services to meet a large amount of need and really engage in the community and bring people in. this was a big packet. there is a lot to go through with this one, so i want to just speak broadly about all these dollar figures and just deliverable's and how we make sense of all of them. i would say i alluded earlier every community center is a little different and as we go through the procurement and contracting prauz we have general guidelines around cost controls and what we allow as expenses and things like that. when we get down to each individual site, we are often negotiating directly with that site around kind of their needs and the different sort of resources and things they bring to the table and provide services. what i'm getting with that is some-everyone has a little of different situations. some folks own their building or in a much larger building offering multiple service that help cover rent. some people have owned their building, some are long-term renters and non profit or state or federal buildings. some people have moved just recently. pre-pandemic and have higher rental cost because of ongoing cost. at that individual level, we are looking at the cost of their service, assessing for reasonableness based on circumstances, as well as negotiating out service units that are consistent with past performance and a general sense of performance from other providers in similar situations. again, 41 sites in total here. some of the newest sites joining this time are booker t washington on presidio in district 5. buchanan ymca, bayview ymca district 10 and i think they opened i think believe last year, but more officially joining now. self-help for the elderly geneva community center which is on mission street in district 11. with that, happy to answer any questions the commissioners might have. >> thank you for the-and the map-we did get this in our pdf version and had a clans chance to look through it and the map was helpful so thank you for bringing in the presentation today. any questions or comments from commissioners before--? well aware of all the comprehensive programs. anybody from the public who would like to comment on this item? >> any members of the public that would like to comment on item 12g? please open the phone line for public comment on item g. do we have callers in the queue? >> no callers in the queue. >> thank you very much. >> we'll close public comment. is there a motion to approve item 12g from commissioners? >> so

melissa bell is in paris. a busy week for paris with the bastille day celebrations. what you are seeing? >> reporter: i'm melissa bell in paris, where the heat is sweltering. as it is over so many parts of europe. these next few days predicted to get even hotter still, with record temperatures never seen before on the european continent that are likely to be recorded. it isn't just one heat wave that has brought these temperatures but a second one that is now taking over. and already, we're seeing in some parts of europe, croatia to greece, forest fires beginning, that we saw cause such devastation last summer when more than 61,000 people across the continent are believed to have died as a result of the extreme heat. what authorities are predicting this time, not just globally the hottest june on record, but that here in europe, the next few days could bring temperatures that we simply have never seen before. >> it is not just the usual frying pan areas in the south, around seville and grenada, and temperatures are 104 degrees fahrenheit or 40 degrees celsius. spain's national weather agency says it is sizzling on mayorka in the mediterranean sea, 97 fahrenheit, 36 celsius, and even in parts of the normally-mild region of nuvara in the north, it has been 104 degrees fahrenheit. two spanish farmers in their 40s died recently in separate incidents while working in their fields in southern spain. according to spanish media. spanish officials have urged farmers to take precautions if they have to work during the hottest part of the day. they have had more than 11,000 heat-related deaths last summer. 18% of all the heat-related deaths in europe, according to a study just published in the journal nature and medicine. only italy had more. here in madrid, it's very hot. but at least overnight, it cools down to 68 fahrenheit. or 20 degrees celsius. but in some of the hottest parts of spain, the lows overnight have been 86 degrees fahrenheit. it's a rough way to start your day. >>> in rome, where temperatures are expected to continue to soar throughout this weekend and into next week. we've seen just an onslaught of tourists trying to take cover, trying to stay out of the sun, and the authorities here are telling visitors who flocked to the city during the summer to try to spend those hot hours, those midday hours inside museums, and we've seen people lined up outside the coliseum, throwing their coins into the treve fountain under the midday sun, and the temperatures are only going to get worse. >> thank you. >>> police in new york state believe they have cracked a decade-old serial killing cold case. they have arrested a 59-year-old architect for some of the gilgo beach murders. beginning in 2010, authorities discovered ten sets of human remain, most of them adult women, all found along a strip of long island's water over several months. >> it started wi the gilgo four. four women found in the bushes along a quarter mile stretch. each were found bound with camouflage burlap over a two-day period and the killings really baffled authorities for years. but miguel marquez explain, the case was broken open because of phones and pizza crusts and dna testing. >> i've standing here with my partners, to announce the indictment of the defendant rex andrew heuermann. >> sex workers tied up, their bodies wrapped in camouflage burlap dumped on gilgo beach on long island. >> when i took office in 2022, i made it a priority. >> the gilgo beach murders traumatized and can't vised long island, east of new york city for more than a decade. now the suspect as unthinkable as the murders themselves. >> this is a shock. 29 years here. i've seen some things, but this is something. >> rex heuermann, 59, charged with three murders today, and the investigation continuing, he faces a possible fourth murder charge. investigators say they identified heuermann using dna from the bodies of the victims, and from witness descriptions of him and the car he drove. investigators obtained hundreds of search warrants and subpoenas linking heuermann to temporary burner phones and fake email accounts. investigators allege he used them to communicate with his victims, taunt the family of one of them, and search for information related to the investigation into the long unsolved murders. >> we recognized that these crimes may have happened years ago, but that pain continues. >> reporter: investigators' biggest break came when they were surveilling heuermann at his midtown manhattan office. he was eating pizza and discarded it in a public trash can. dna from the pizza crust, say investigators, linked heuermann to the murders. heuermann has been charged with the murders of melissa and amberlin and megan waterman, all sex workers all in their 20s. the investigation is continuing. and he has also been named in the suspect of maureen barnes. in all, 11 bodies found around gilgo beach, only three and possibly a fourth now linked to one alleged killer, so far. investigators say they made the arrest now, because they feared heuermann could strike again. >> one of the reasons why we had to take this case down was we learned that the defendant was using these alternate identities and the alternate instruments, to continue to patronize sex workers. >> rex heuermann has pled not guilty and insists through his lawyer that he's innocent. he is an unlikely suspect. a husband, father of two, and architect, working in manhattan, dealing with arcane building codes. in february, 2022, he was even interviewed about his job for a youtube show. >> rex heuermann, an architect, an architectural consultant, troubleshooter, born and raised on long island. >> as for the several other v

>> re >> you have the chief of the county police department under investigation by the fbi, who was also investigating the district attorney. >> it meant that outside agencies like the fbi, who might be inclined to investigate this corrupt official, would be kept away from the case. >> reporter: another problem, some say, was that investigators lacked the motivation to solve these murders from the start. >> from the very beginning it was abundantly clear that if these murder victims had been college students r students or corporate workers that the case would have been taken much, much more seriously. it was very clear that there was victim blaming going on. it couldn't help but impact the case. >> i don't want anybody to think that we have a jack the ripper running around suffolk county with blood dripping from a knife. >> i think that it was very comforting when we found out he was targeting a speck grific gr of women so that it made it something that was removed from us. >> reporter: between the scandal-ridden police department, nearly a dozen sets of remains and a marginalized group of victims the gilgo murder case officially went cold, frozen it seemed for years, until a gradual shift in leadership opened the door to a fresh start. >> one of the great things about geraldine hart becoming commissioner in suffolk county is that she had spent her career at the fbi. and so this is an amazing moment where not only was she able to get people from the fbi and people from the suffolk county police department to work together on a regular basis on this case, she also was able to talk to folks in the fbi about dna analysis, all sorts of scientific techniques that a police department like suffolk just wasn't able to do. >> good afternoon and thank you for joining us. >> reporter: to many's surprise, in 2020 commissioner hart held an unexpected press conference on the case, revealing a new clue for the first time in years. >> a black leather belt embossed with the letters hm or wh was recovered during the initial stages of this investigation. we believe that the belt was handled by the suspect and did not belong to any of the victims. >> a short time after that press conference geraldine hart had another press conference announcing that they had successfully identified another victim. >> today we are announcing that jane doe number 6 has been positively identified as valerie mack. >> and that to me was a suggestion that this police department was starting to get serious and that they were really rolling up their sleeves and going to work. >> reporter: the work continued into the next administration. in 2022 nypd veteran rodney harrison replaced hart as the new suffolk county police commissioner, and one of his first moves was to launch an interagency task force dedicated to solving the gilgo murders. >> when you took office, why was it so important for you to start this task force? >> i wanted to make sure that we're working with all of our law enforcement partners. the objective was to put a dragnet out there, see what we could do to see if we could get as many people to participate, reach out to their networks and see if we could get closer to identifying a subject. and it paid off. >> reporter: one of the first important leads that caught the attention of the new task force came from a witness who told investigators that the night before victim amber costello's disappearance a client arrived at her home and they described him. >> 6'4", 250 pounds, a big mop of hair. giant 1970s type glasses. the witness said he was huge, he looked like an ogre. >> reporter: investigators also obtained costello's cell phone records, which revealed that a burner phone number contacted her that night, just before the client entered her home. the following night, on september 2nd, the same burner cell phone contacted costello again. shortly after, costello left her house, and a witness spotted a dark green-colored vehicle nearby. >> so the state police investigator started to work on the car, and she says i'm going to enter the search as a green pickup truck. and it comes back to chevy avalanche. it's in south carolina. registered to a guy. but it used to be registered right here. who was it registered to? rex heuermann. okay. who's rex? they run him. no criminal record. well, what does rex look like? he's 6'4". he's 250 pounds. he wears big round glasses. he's got a mop of hair. he's got a green truck. >> i'm not sure when i exactly said that's our guy, but i will say this. when we were able to track back that green avalanche is when i was like okay, we're getting close. >> the car. >> the car. exactly. >> reporter: investigators kept digging. and they discovered that just like costello cell phone records from victims melissa burner phones in the hours before they disap disappeared. but it was the locations where those burner phones pinged that was most interesting. >> what they were able to do is narrow down the area where the phones were pinging to an area in midtown manhattan around 5th avenue and 35th street, thereabouts, and another area in massapequa, massapequa park on long island. >> reporter: both are locations key to rex heuermann. his office in midtown manhattan and his home in massapequa park. just across the bay from the ocean parkway where the bodies of the gilgo four were discovered. >> i think the big breakthrough with the task force was the use of the cell phone records. >> reporter: nathan lentz is a professor at john jay college of criminal justice in new york city. >> that allowed them to identify the location in manhattan and the location on long island, and they were able to connect it to his cell phone pings as well. so he was using a burner phone, but in his pocket was his regular c

melissa? >> seema, thanks seema mody let's dive deeper into china with our next guest who says shine markets are poised for a breakout marco, great to have you with us >> thanks so much, melissa great to be with you >> i'm sure you heard seema's report why are you bullish? and is it predicated on the notion that beijing might have a stimulus program in sight. >> the investment bank community got china massively wrong since q4 of last year. first, they were extremely bearish, didn't think zero covid could be pivoted from within days china proved them wrong. it pivoted away from its policy. and then everybody turned massively bullish, completely forgetting what ails china is the overleveraged private sector their households are extremely indebted what china needs to do is pick up some of that leverage, put it on the public side, and we expect that to happen over the next several quarters. they're going to replicate basically the sequence of events that we in the u.s. used from 2010 to 2016 first cuts in interest rates, then qe, then fiscal and i think that's more important than geopolitics or chips. >> statement, let's say they got everything right in terms of the call away from covid zero. msc china was down 6% in the first half of the year it isn't like you would have got a great return you're still down 6% what do you see picking up chinese equities in the second half >> the investment banks were way too bullish, thinking that it's just zero covid. just removing zero covid was going to be enough it's not they need much more stimulus on the real estate side, but they also need to do basically fiscal stimulus over the next 6 to 12 months and i think what we're seeing is chinese policy makers starting to be pushed into that direction. they're starting to talk about like japanfication of china, the things that are permanent and secular, and fight against that with more significant stimulus what i would be doing is watching those stimulus announcements, more than like yellen's visit, because i agree with your report, which is that it's very difficult to have any movement in u.s./china relationship >> do you think the next couple of years are going to be -- in terms of u.s./china relations, are going to be more or less hawkish than you think consensus is >> i think probably less hawkish than the consensus, because the consensus is basically we're near world war iii however, at the same time, i don't see how we actually move before the u.s. election and you saw this, blinken made the visit, very high-profile visit. a lot of hope of talk. and president biden made the statement about president xi, which i don't think was a mistake. i mean, that was for domestic purposes in the u.s. i think u.s./domestic politics is driving this rivalry. and it's very difficult for president biden to pivot in any significant way before he secures his second term. >> so does it not matter what u.s./china relations are for your call to be bullish chinese equities does it matter do you start saying, that is a risk and it should be embedded in the valuation there would be a discount? >> well, so what i would say, melissa, is that it has mattered it has mattered massively over the last 18 to 24 months for example, performance of indian equities is in many ways related to the large pools of capital out of china so geopolitics has played its role but incriminate, it's already in the past now, all investors who are going to sell china because of u.s./china tensions have kind of sold it. what's waiting on the side llin are non-u.s. investors, and they're more than willing to buy chinese assets, if they see that our thesis is right. what's my thesis there will be stimulus in china. so, you know, those folks, middle eastern, large pools of capital, european, southeast asian, they don't care about yellen's visit or u.s. policy at all. they care about whether beijing stimulating or not >> so are you seeing in-flows from these areas, wanting to invest in china, asking you to -- >> no, no. because they're waiting for policy makers in china to actually do something. and everyone's lost a lot of faith in policy ma

melissa murray, prince -- nyu law school, and a law clerk to them judge, now justice, so minnesota mayer during her time in the u.s. court of appeal. thank you for joining me melissa, i never wanted a lot of blame, armed rainfall you're with me today. i wanted to start with something justice clarence thomas said visit then senator, joe biden about affirmative action during his confirmation hearing in 1991. let's watch that video and talk about it on the other side. >> you say, judge, that affirmative action preference programs are all right as long as they're not based on race? >> i said that from a policy standpoint, i agreed with affirmative action policies that focused on disadvantaged minorities. and disadvantage individuals in our society. i'm not commenting on the legality of the constitutionality. >> so, there are hours of video is of course of confirmation hearings from all of the justices, but reflecting on what's happened now with affirmative action, an abortion a year ago, do you think he and other conservative justices were a little disingenuous during their hearing? this >> one they're permitted to say whatever they like at the confirmation hearing. it's up to the senate to decide whether they're being genuine or not. you vote in a way that does provide the president with true advice and consent. when he's nominating a justice. but the real point of the question, the underlying issue i think is the idea that this court in the absence of any check from congress has arrogated so much power to itself that it no longer's fault as the presidents of earlier coats and essentially legislating in the way that likes the affirmative action decision is a key aspect of this and the court does not like affirmative action even though earlier coats blasted and confirmed it was constitutional. but this court has decided that it doesn't believe it's constitutional. and it disagrees. when you have six, they let you do you want. and this court is definitely doing what it wants. >> i don't want to be alarmist, but people should know what to expect, as we're looking at other precedents that they could overturn, are you concerned that game marriage might be next, what calais could be on the chopping block? >> wow, look, at every precedents on the chopping block because the courts made it clear that they're not bound by stare decisis, especially in circumstances when it comes to interpreting the constitution, they said repeatedly about last year, in dobbs in this year that they're free to look at these presidents -- and to correct what they believe are egregious errors,, yes everything is on the table justice thomas told us this last term, it is concurrence in the top. case there's grilled while versus connecticut, which legalize contraceptive. there's ingress virginia, he's let that one pass, it's raised here in this new case, and of course obergefell raises bigger questions. it's not clear that there's gonna be an immediate frontal assault on gay marriage. but the court's decision this week in 303 creative, the case about the website designer who refuses to provide services for frame same-sex weddings. that's a beginning over -- chipping away at the kinds of services, the expectation that same-sex couples may have in the public sphere. went to normalize the idea that you can treat same-sex couples differently, they're well underway to rolling back recognize rights. >> there was a right-wing group as you know that brought this affirmative action case to the supreme court after thursday's decision, stephen miller we all remember was an adviser to former president trump sent a threatening letter to 200 school saying that this group is prepared to see if they don't abide by the courts ruling. how is this in your view emboldened rattling likes to go after universities? how do you anticipate the will respond to legal challenges? >>, so i think this is the point the court made clear in the opinion that -- all questions of race at the table, the end of the chief justice says that an individual can discuss his or her racial background in their admissions, as long as they connected to individual characteristics. like leadership, or courage. again, that's because of the intervention that justice jackson made an oral argument asking whether or not -- talk about their family histories but whether it was still okay for black applicants to talk about their family history as well. this seems to be a compromise for the chief justice has brokered but stephen miller and other like i want to show all questions of race in college admission processes. going forward and so in this space where there is confusion perhaps, or uncertainty about what the court needs, and what this decision requires, he stepped into the breach to threaten these colleges, universities in the hope that these threats will chill what is actually still lawful conduct right now. i'd urge universities, colleges who are thinking about their admission protocols to -- look at the end of this decision. and be clear about it, the court says very, very -- you can invite applicants to talk about the family background. not just racial backgrounds but backgrounds more generally. and connected into the way in which shape the identity and the cultivation of personal characteristics. >> melissa providing a lot of clarity for us today. and stick with us, after the break i'll ask education secretary, miguel cardona, about the path forward for millions of people affected by the supreme court's decision on student loans and affirmative action. and later, the latest move americans now being singled out by the gop. by the gop moderate to severe eczema still disrupts my skin. despite treatment it disrupts my skin with itch. it disrupts my skin with rash. but now, i can disrupt eczema with rinvoq. rinvoq is not a steroid, topical, or injection. it's one pill, once a day. many taking rinvoq saw clear or almost-clear skin while some saw up to 100% clear skin. and, they felt dramatic and fast itch relief some as early as 2 days. that's rinvoq relief. rinvoq can lower your ability to fight infections, including tb. serious infections and blood clots, some fatal, cancers including lymphoma and skin cancer, death, heart attack, stroke, and tears in the stomach or intestines occurred. peop

melissa murray, and why you law professor and co host of the strict scrutiny broadcast. he's also an msnbc contributor. also with us is mark joseph stern, senior writer at slate. covering the courts and law. melissa, i'll start with. you just kind of the big picture takeaway of what we saw unfold today. people on the surface may think of these cases being very different on the issues that they tackle even though they are hypothetical as we said, with chris there. but there is a connective tissue between all of them, as i was sort of outlined there. do you see that as well, that there is a common theme between all of these cases? a common th>> i think is a come before tween the cases beside the storm and last term especially dobbs. basically we're seeing a court world back the protections that make it possible, indeed facilitate the process of a multiracial, multi ethnic democracy. education, reproductive rights, financial security, all of these things that we need in order to be in a democracy that is inclusive and includes everyone. and that seems to be the thing the court is railing against. and to be very clear we had a bar burner of a term last year. and particularly the rhythms of the supreme court are such that -- >> won? what >> we had a big, when you take a breather. but we had -- this year. it looks like a ship being off to have a barber and a return next year and one of the questions the american people have to ask is, how many bonds are there left to burn or is this court just intent on bringing it all down? >> to your point, this is marked the roberts court. so i guess my question to you is the legacy of the roberts court now going to be about undoing the progress that has been made throughout the 21st century? >> that will absolutely be a big part of john roberts legacy that not only will he [inaudible] but affirmative action and the very notion of diversity is a laudable and calling gold that the government can pursue through raised conscious measures and now through the 303 creative decision that gay and lesbian americans have a right to equal access in the marketplace, all of those principles have now been bulldozed in an extraordinarily short period of time. and i think that in addition to rolling back the clock, john roberts is reasserting himself and his court as the chief decision-maker in this country. the supreme court is very much the number one policy making body of the nation. and the chief justice through these decisions's remaining, as congress can pass whatever laws it likes the president can roll out whatever programs he wants. the states can experiment. but at the end of the day we will be the ones to decide what you can do. we will be the ones to say the meaning of the constitution and to overthrow andy contrary ideas that you try to implement in the name of democracy. and i think that is a frightening message that the chief could not have sent louder or clear in this term. >> i want to ask you specifically about the 303 case if i can and the free speech argument was. made and i understand that that is placed individuals but then when you get to the position of a business how does the business have a free speech right, so to speak? >> that's a terrific question, amen. just as gorsuch today spoke in the opinion -- that requires anyone doing business in the public sphere is akin to requiring them to adopt the states message in antidiscrimination. but that's not really the case. she can -- >> it's a bit of a stretch. >> lori smith if you were actually making websites for individuals which is still an open question, she could simply have her evangelical beliefs and she could talk about them and she could espouse them as she wanted to, but the point that colorado makes is, when you decide to enter the public marketplace and provide services, you must do it for everyone who seeks those services without fair favor for any particular group. and the court today said no that's basically antidiscrimination laws the state making you adopt and anti-discrimination message. so that should be chilling to anyone in the united states who's from a group that historically has been disenfranchised, that has been under represented, that has been discriminated against because it means that regardless of these anti-discrimination protections which exist primarily on the state level, there's not necessarily broad protections for sexual orientation on the federal level, all of these state level laws are now in question because simply individuals can say this violates my right to free speech, it's a compelled message that the state is making me adopt, and the court has essentially blessed that. >> mark, these justices weather again going through the confirmation process talked about how there are precedents and so many of these cases are settled law and they've totally abandoned a lot of that but the biggest one being roe v. wade. how dangerous, if at, all are the presidents being said by these cases? what implications do they have for other rights as melissa was just talking to? thinking about not just gay rights but other minority rights now. you could get someone who says it is their religious belief not to provide services because someone is involved in an interracial marriage, or because someone is muslim or jewish? >> exactly. there's no limiting principle in [inaudible] that restricts the scope of this decision to lgbtq people. it seems that it applies across the board to all kind of protective traits. and so one question justice scott mayer asked is, the famous case both on fire motel, when the motel argued that it had a right not to serve black people, would that case come out differently if the hotel had said, we feel that allowing black people to stay in our rooms is an expression of support for their identities and their lives. and i think that's very much a groping question. so we focus on these edge cases, the florist, the baker, whatever. but this decision patients way past that into the realm of all manner of public accommo

melissa grant, staff righter for the new republic. and dina bad ala from sirius xm and mia wiley president of the civil rights association. melissa, let's talk about this 303 case. because it seems to me that it is a case based on a completely pead up thing and in a man who didn't know he had any involvement with it and you're reporting on it. >> yeah. i started the reporting on it. this case is based on something even more made-up than this individual inquiry for a website. the main claim in this case was that their client was not allowed to even advertise her business making wedding websites, which did not exist, so there is a business, it doesn't exist, she's not allowed to advertise that business and they said alleged by because of an anti-discrimination law and then in the midst of that, they bring this inquiry from a same-sex couple. they're trying to say this doesn't matter, we brought this on bigger grounds but two things to know about that. the much bigger grounds are actually even more imaginary than this inquiry that is possible. she has yet to advertise for this service. and they're saying it is a preenforcement challenge and yes, and they exist, and so this is something that was meant to affirm the religious rights of this woman, lori smith and people like her at the expanse of queer and trans feel. they could spin it however they want, the person whose name is on the inquiry, stewart, he didn't make it. there is no genuine same-sex wedding inquiry behind this and she testified in court that there was. >> just to be clear, melissad you talk to stewart? >> yes. yes, i found stewart's contact information in the course of going through court filings. and when i spoke with him, i expected him to say, you know, oh, god, i've heard from a million reporters and here is another one. but he hadn't. no one had called him before. he had no knowledge that his name appeared in this court filing. he had actually heard of the case because by the time i called him, like last tuesday, the case had been argued at the supreme court and was in the news a little bit the end of the last year. so he knew about it in the context of his work as a designer. that is the other kind of ridiculous thing here. he's a designer. why would he be trying to hire another designer to make this nonexistent wedding website. so he's somebody who supports lgbtq rights and abortion rights and anything that adf is for and this case is about, he stands against that. and it is just a very disorienting experience for someone who is truly a private person to

off site services include the development of social networks and community volunteers for delivery of services while assisting with community service coordination. this model provides the same balance tear and educational activities as the village model with the added with the addition of a central location. uh the bridge model focuses service in district one but is open to residents of other districts. i request your approval to enter into this contract. are there any questions or comments? any questions or comments from commissioners. something's items . go ahead, sweetie, i just have 11

volunteers and offering this additional service of helping people identify where the you know helping them navigate the system whether that's medical providers, community resources or services or other things they may need either through the das program or other services. that sounds great. do you think? yeah potentially, that would be expanded to the theater grantees at some point to provide a similar service certain. yeah we'll certainly talk to him about that at the moment. just the villages doing it, though. sounds great. thank you. any other comments or questions from commissioners. yeah. i also thank you for noting that it jumped out at me as well. and it just seems like comprehensively , this is a much more enhanced. village community bridge model that keeps sort of enhancing on itself right through the whatever succeeding, lending those ideas to other areas of the city and other programs. and yeah, it seems very innovative. so i was happy to see how this was. explained in a sort of a comprehensive way through this. yeah, i hope that you know they do a good job so excitingly interesting thing to see how it pans out. yes. and on overall increased understanding and better outreach around us services as well. more of an integration. i noticed goal, trying to get the word out right about that coming through loud and clear and all that all that we're always asking for coming through from this this proposal , so we appreciated that. yeah okay. anything else from commissioners and do we have any public comment? are there any members of the public they would like to

comment? yeah. please yeah. perfect. yeah, it's better. my apologies. um madam chair members of the commission. i'm jacqueline zimmer jones. i'm the director at next village, san francisco and we're serving the seniors in the northeast part of the city. um, i just wanted to thank you for your support, and i wanted to mention some changes that have happened since this contract. uh was initiated three years ago. i want you to be aware that we do have a formal office. now it's located at 704 filbert street, and it has increased the number of people that come to our office. we've increased our membership and our volunteers as a result of having that building there. it's right next door to victoria's pastry, so we offer it's a dangerous location, but we like it so anyway, that's been really instrumental in helping us generate more recognition of the village and the village model. and, um, i wanted to also mention that we are the only village in the nation with a podcast. and that is hosted by two of our members who are volunteers, and it is a fantastic podcast cast. it's called not born yesterday, and it is starting to reach some real. it's got some real traction, and there's two new podcasts every month. so that's a piece of what we're doing that's innovative and brings attention to all sorts of topics that pertain to aging and in in in the united states, so i encourage you to take a listen to that. also um, this want to note that, um we are also serving with our own funds. uh, about 100. some odd people who cannot afford the membership that the city has required. everyone must pay at least $120 to belong to a village. and there are many people in the northeast part of town for whom that dollar amount is out of reach. our goal is to take the anxiety out of aging in place and approaching people for help . um so we fundraise three times a year so that we can serve those individuals as well and we don't have to turn anybody away. and the final note that villages are really unique. the city provides tremendous services for seniors and people with disabilities. but there are many things that the city can't cover in the villages fill that niche . a couple of quick examples. we had a member call us distraught on a sunday morning because their cat was very ill and needed to go to the vet. that's something where you need some support, and we have volunteers that live nearby that took care of that in a minute. and this through covid. we've had a number of people call us who have come down with covid and need the prescription and that that's a time when you really aren't supposed to be going out. and you're not feeling well. but also you didn't know you were going to be sick. so maybe you don't have groceries. you don't have tylenol. you don't have things that you need. and so we have really responded to a lot of people who are, um you know, the last minute needs that people have that they simply can't be fulfilled by the city. so it's a great way of collaborating with the city and providing services to folks. thank you. all right. well, thank you for taking the time to come today. we really appreciate it. and we really support the this enhancement of this model. and adaption and all of the innovations that are happening around this, and this is all about san franciscans living at home safely. uh and we're just really excited and want to support this as much as we can and hope that das provides that people know about the services that das provides as well and it's a way of getting the word out there. so there's a true integration of all of this, which is we do a lot of care care, navigating ourselves and it the department of aging and all its resources. i also brought you a copy of our newsletter. it's about 16 pages long every month, and many of our members still prefer a newsletter in print. um and then a copy of our brochure. terrific okay, we'll probably visit you that office now that you've tempted us with thank you. we'd love to have you what's what's near it, so thank you. yes. yeah, thank you. alright um thank you. er in items g. yes yes, um, that also requires a vote by the commission requesting authorization to enter into a grant with community living campaign for provision of community connector program for the period of july 1st 2023 to june 30th 2027 in the amount of 2,844,484 plus a 10% contingency total amount not to exceed 3,128,009. $132 and rihanna. albert will be presenting this item welcome. thank you. good morning. commissioners president concludes in an executive director demon. my name is rihanna, albert and i'm, an analyst with the office of community partnerships. the grant agreement with community living campaign will provide community connector programming to older adults and adults with disabilities. community connector programming is an important means of supporting social engagement within neighborhoods. historically the community connectors service model has been specific to neighborhoods that lack a dedicated community center space. this model aims to develop a sense of community and promote networks in which neighbors support each other services are led by community members and service location is community based and utilizes public and private space. through this model activities are managed by a local neighborhood resident serving as the community connector. this local resident or connector creates a welcoming space, organizes scheduled activities and encourages connections among neighbors. they also facilitate neighborhood outreach to develop a volunteer network. this network of volunteers, then helps to deliver programs services by creating volunteer opportunities and encouraging neighbors to assist each other. this helps individuals individuals feel seen and valued. the goals of the program include building community, developing volunteer networks and fostering age and disability friendly environments. the grant will help support eight neighborhood connector programs . those neighborhoods include cayuga crocker, amazon, the inner sunset merced extension triangle. midtown terrace, mira loma, potrero hill and sunnyside. activities will include a mix of exercise creative, educational and social activities. this includes exercise classes, neighborhood walks, writing groups, arts and crafts and classes on topics like healthy aging and safety and emergency preparedness. neighbors will also help each other with rights to doctors, dog walking and other small kindnesses. participants enrolled in the program report, feeling more connected to their community better informed about the availability of other senior and disability related programs and resources and report that program participation has helped maintain or improve their health and well being. we know that social connections are essential for the health and well being of older adults and adults with disabilities. these connector programs provide older adults and adults with disabilities with those needed opportunities for community engagement and social connection. community living campaign was the previous grantee for this service and was found to be in full compliance with all programmatic standards during the most recent monitoring, and we are happy to continue this important and beneficial programming with them. thank you, and i'd be happy to answer any questions. do you have any questions from questioners? push your score. i'm wondering, um, how the communities were selected. and curious because i think often to do something like this. you can do it with its been someone who's asked for it or if identified a need, but there's a lot of fun communities where there's not that ability to stronger. there's not a leadership and are we getting the communities that really needed these? these really came out of these were came out of neighborhood that lacked a dedicated community center space and we saw a need in those neighborhoods. so those neighborhoods came together and that is how this program model sort of evolved. and the gold is to increase it into other communities. the goal is to reduce social isolation, um and , um, create social engagement and bring the community together within those neighborhoods that otherwise wouldn't you know, because they lack a dedicated community center. wouldn't you know? necessarily otherwise? be able to create those connections with each other. thank you. one follow up question are their communities that lack neighborhood centers? that are still missing, or are we covering them all with this model? that is a great question . um, i so i'm not sure if there are others that are currently lacking. i do know that this program model covers, um district seven district 10. and district 11 out of all of the eight neighborhoods. so it is, um, quite a large area of san francisco that's covered currently, but, um, we could always look at see if there's you know any gaps in other neighborhoods. i just have one question, mr albert, um, under location and time of services is to reference made to a site chart by didn't say is that still being developed? no. you know that we do have a site chart. i have a copy of it here. um there is a site chart. um, and we can get that over to you. if you would like to be great. thank you. sure. questions. just one slight question. does this did this include expansion to new neighborhoods? does this so you mentioned the eight and you listed them are some of those new no. so those are all existing. um yeah, these are we're going into a new grant term, and these are existing neighborhoods that are being served great. um. and then there was one element of it that were . i guess you were targeting people in need of community connector program. that was one of the criteria. how would you define that? those that are in need? just um i mean, i guess sort of stood out as something i hadn't seen in right? i mean, folks that are think for folks that are in those neighborhoods that lack of dedicated community center space are kind of scene. as in need, because they might not otherwise, you know, go out and create social connections. um so just by being in that neighborhood could be seen as a need. okay, that that answers it. i just wondered if there was specific individual criteria or anything like that. not really. okay, okay. um alright. anything else from other figures? good morning, when you identify a location for you know, for the activities that you whatever activities you guys are gonna be carrying out what kind of outreach what method of outreach ? yeah so, um, community living campaign is doing a lot of outreach. um, they, for example , they mail out paper calendars to the community and to participants they have an email newsletter that goes out. um, they send emails and text messages. they make phone calls , um, some of their sites. have in person activities that are posted in in person activity calendars that are posted up. um they also hand out flyers and materials. they have a website, and then they also reached folks through social media, so a lot of different ways. thank you. and then i know because i get the community connector newsletter because it's such a comprehensive job of it. um if there was something i was interested in, there's a lot of programs that they advertise, especially their things on zoom. it's true that anyone could participate if they are otherwise. qualified right if there's a senior component to it, or just say, correct? yeah so that you just to qualify. you just need to be, um 60, older or 18 and above with a disability, right? so there there. i know that. their newsletter and outreach goes further than these districts, right? yeah. okay just to clarify. yeah okay. um any other questions from commissioners? than any other. do we have any members from the public who wish to comment? are there any members of the public they would like to comment and item g. i would like to come it. yep. commentary have three minutes starting now. thank you , jacqueline zimmer again with the next village, san francisco. um these community connector models are fantastic, and we are actually running a version of a community connector model in district three. and in district two. we have one will be before your next month. we call it just, uh we call it d to you. which is, um we're sort of a it's a little we do the same thing we provide. that's an area that doesn't have a dedicated spot for seniors to gather. and so we do outreach and we're providing programming about 300 programs a year. ah, it district to university for people in the northeast part of the city, and we do get people from all over the city that attend our events , and in fact, all over the world when it comes to a zoom, so there are programs similar to this in the northeast part of the town as well. okay and we'll see you next month. okay thank you. that's i kind of use that as an opportunity to say a lot of this is melding as much as we have to. we get it in a contract form. it has to be all delineated and separated out and itemized and budgeted and all those things but in a lot of ways to a senior citizens or disabled person in san francisco, there's sort of they don't they just see it as a program that's available to them more and more, which is great. yeah, yeah. okay. thank you. uh huh. um so do we have any that was public comment. do we have any further public comment?

terms of. um as rihanna said, there's a whole bunch of different ways that um, one of the most effective, though, is really worth of getting to come to an activity and a friend of him. um but we are very specific outreach. um for folks do we think like so reaching out. um congregations, uh, other organisms in my life thought pick up the connection. in terms of location. the that we have to point where it was killed, which started right before pandemic, and it's just starting back and um and all of them are ones that start with names against the thing that they want. uh and as rihanna does place where for the most part, there are not a lot of senior sense of ready we think we're pretty good coverage. we are working also with bolton institute connector months. that is in visitation valley. and we're certainly open to other ah peaceful victim funding. other thing that we've been hurt in person chinese language programming, which is something that might be it. if there's any other

self help for the elderly for the provision of a peter ambassador. er and senior escort services during the period july 1st 2023 through june 30th 2027 in the amount of 3 million $312,876. plus a 10% contingency, very tall amount not to exceed 3,644,100. and sarah harper berg. well would present this item welcome. thank you. good morning, president and commissioners and executive director german i'm sarah hoffenberg, program analyst with the office of community partnerships. i'm here today to ask your approval to enter into contracts with self help for the elderly for the pier, ambassador program and senior escort services. since 2019. the pier ambassador program has been promoting awareness of das funded services and programs in order to address the lower participation rates in dar services and the outer districts , including districts 124 and 11 . ambassadors create partnerships with a wide variety of organizations, businesses and individuals in the community who are likely to have contact with our knowledge of older adults and adults with disabilities. examples include nonprofit organizations, faith based organizations, healthcare providers, housing site coordinators, libraries and neighborhood markets. from these sites. pair ambassadors disseminate information about dallas programs and services utilizing methods such as community presentations, workshops and distribution of written materials. both older adults and adults with disabilities view their peers as a trusted information source and leveraging existing relationships and networks is an efficient and effective strategy to expand knowledge of services of current for current and potential consumers. ambassadors worked closely with the aging and disability resource centers in the identified districts to help facilitate referrals to dos programs and services. older adults and adults with disabilities benefit from enhanced knowledge of das services via the peer ambassadors trained and recruited in the program. in 2021 as a response to the rise and threats and violence against the asian, american and pacific islander, or api. community dust began funding the senior escort services program at self help for the elderly. this program provides escort services to other adults and adults with disabilities in order to increase protection and a sense of safety for participants. since the beginning of this program, the escort service has been utilized by a high number of consumers and has grown exponentially. clients not only utilize the program to attend medical and dental appointments or make a grocery run run to the bank, but there are also being used. for things like going to chemotherapy, dialysis, even things like taking a walk around the neighborhood so someone can get out of their house, get some exercise and companionship. um additionally, it's not uncommon for a person who may need support services, but it's resistant to those services to feel comfortable utilizing the senior escort services and by building trust and rapport with these clients, the senior escort program has successfully been able to link many of these hard to reach clients to additional supportive services. the senior escort program has proven to be vital to the community and has threatened violence against the aapi community, as well as other groups of older adults and adults with disabilities remain the need for a senior escort services continues. that's my presentation, and i will do my best to answer any questions you may have at this time. any questions from commissioners on this item. hmm. okay. i also thought this was very good and comprehensive. so i just, um one of the aspects especially kind of keyed into is preparing this. i'm talking about all this integration between what does provides and what people understanding what we provide and appear in basseterre. i think there was a part of it where they're talking about helping a specific person connecting to the benefits hub who could then get a more of an individual. uh i plan if they needed it for services. specific to them is that maybe that correctly the dusk club or an 80 r. c yeah. so um, the parent bassedas worked very closely with the 80 rcs. so there are you know up to date on programs and such things. so then when they meet someone out in public at one of their, um when they're out promoting awareness they're able to really like hone in on specifics, so if a client or potential clients as you know, i've got this going on or this going on the pier ambassador can say well, hey, let me connect you to the folks that can help you with that, so okay, that sounded like a very good integration system. um, and then something, uh, occurred to me is when this for the senior escort services this. i'm a san franciscan and it's uh are they also taking people on immunity busses and the reason i'm bringing this up is because i find some of these busses. frightening lately. i mean, i don't know if anyone's been on the 19 polk lately, um, but it's a frightening experience, and i'm very able bodied and capable and my first reaction is not to take a policy again. so okay personal experience, but i'm also wondering if those senior escorts take people on busses to make them feel safer or is community bus part of any of this or do they usually can be? i mean, there's also a way yeah , they also have drivers and vans and stuff like that. and so i am. you know, folks utilize those as much as possible. it's really i think. a combination of the escort and the client and what works best for them. and allah i'm saying is i would hope that as a person like a pure and as senior escort person they're trained. they're capable. they know about things if they could communicate some of these experiences to immune e. it might help improve things. i like that idea of like having official status and they have a job and they're trying to get you know, we said we want these people to travel safely. we're fine. ending this and yet we put them on a bus that is potentially very, very frightening and dangerous. and this is you know, i take busses during the day. so just saying i'm just going to leave it with that, but if there's some way we could also help to improve that. that would be great, and i think more helpful to people who are really particularly vulnerable more so by yards than myself, so um, just just saying, i think that's a great idea. i a brain lag were in addition to me calling uni you know that. i think it helps. okay um, any other comments from commissioners on this? yeah. good morning. um how many employees but ambassadors and the senior escorts are the are these programs going to be employing? and then? secondly, are they providing individualized? services or are they escorting them as a group? um great questions. uh the first one with parent babysitters there, at least for ambassadors so there can be at least one in bed ambassador per district. um and then there are some folks who work in a supervisory capacity who aren't necessarily full time with the program. but a portion of that program and then with the senior escorts. there are i believe five escorts to escort drivers and then a program coordinator of volunteer coordinator as well as against some additional support from like a managerial level and stuff at a portion of a full time and then your other question. um in terms of groups, they do both. they do group. escorts as well as individual escorts. thank you. any other comments from commissioners, right? do we have any public comments on on this item? are there any members of the public that would like to comment on item h. thank you. your time is three minutes and we'll start time now. good morning commissioners. my name is emily from self for the elderly and the director of social services . and this is even and my colleague who oversees this wonderful peer ambassador and senior escort program. so first i want to thank us for this funding that actually support these two programs and i personally and also this program is very vital. for our seniors. as you know, it's like since the pandemic senior face tremendous challenges and not only with covid but also with isolation and their fear being attacked on the street and, um, with this program, our senior able to feel safe again and being social again as well. and it was amazing to see the seniors who would be able to attend the long overdue. ical appointments that they didn't want to go, and they are able to attend the tai chi classes that they are able to go because many of them have experienced attack on the bus. um while they're waiting for the bus or at the park, so with this program, we're trying to be like very creative. we do both the trip. we have d. m v trips, passport trips, and then we have park trips. and so then the clients will be able to go in trips and also the individual medical appointment bank appointments that they need. um so the nature of the program allows us to go to their home and also be able to identify a lot of abuse and i met need for services. so um, we were able to make a different referrals through this program. so as of this point, we have already served 1500 seniors and 8000 escort. so thanks again for this funding to outlook. allow us to make our senior face safe, okay? thank you. any other public comment. moderator, can you please open the phone line for public comment? moderate or is there any colors in the cube? there are no colors. thank you. okay, then hearing no further, uh, requests to speak on the animal. close public comment. is there a motion to approve item h from commissioners and second. parker pennington, commissioner parker

thank you. every numbers vote. okay. thank you. thank you. um commissioners. the next order of business is agenda item i and requires a vote by the commission requesting authorization to enter into a new grant agreement with multiple providers for the provision of residential care facilities for the elder elderly . our cf services in san francisco during the period of july 1st 2023 through june 30th 2027 in the amount of 1,229,940 . plus a 10% contingency for a total amount not to exceed 1,000,352. $2943 and sarah chan will present the item welcome. good morning, commissioner. good morning. um executive director german my name is sarah chem program and this from office of community partnership as we all know that residential care facilities for the elderly are c. f s have long been a preferred community alternative for those who are unable to live on their own. but they are not super bowl for skilled nursing facilities and compelled to independent community living r c. f e s provide an increased level of care in super supportive and safe environment with 24 hours supervision for older adults. and in recent years due to increased regulation, increased labor costs, labor laws, uh and increase higher residents, care needs and adequate funding. the number of our cf s in san francisco has declined. and low income individuals often do not have the resources to ask as market rate r c. f e s in san francisco and, um this grant in front of you well support to nonprofit r c. f e s with their operational cost so we can retain the affordable our safety services in san francisco and, um. as we go into the following content, i'm going to summarize basic services. how a typical our cf he covers. then i would go into each of the grantees and a typical are cfe services include room and board, 24 hours , supervision and personal care services and three nutritious meal. a day and plus snacks and housekeeping laundry services. planned activities assistance with medication management and transportation escort services to medical appointment. and um so first i'm going to go into kim aci and chemo she founded in, uh and incorporated in 1971 . the key machi in has long time experience over 50 years of experience in our reaching and providing, ethnically and culturally relevant services to seniors and their families. the chemo cheese our cf. he's program is that kim ok home, which is in the japantown neighborhood of western edition , and it has, um has been a licensed rc f e since 1918 1 with 20 beds, capacity. eight of the a of the bad is single occupancy and 12 is double occupancy. and mochi hong follows and is in full compliance with all our cf program requirement entitled 22 . the program is oversight by camp, california department of social services, community care , licensing and the residents at rc f. g primary speak japanese and english. however the agency does have the capacity to provide multilingual and multicultural support for older adult from japanese, korean, chinese, filipino and vietnamese and, um. communities and, um, so besides the residents, the long term residents program there's a couple of high highlight. i want to mention about kim oci. where is their philosophy caring for their clients? clients they belong they believe in multi cultural involved the family members in the care. um so this is a great opportunity that the whole families involved in the care. and besides that chemo she also offer um besides the long, long term, they also offer respite program and the respite program provides a temporary short term 24 hours to supervise the care at the facility. this services is available for families in need of backup care for elderly member, especially during periods of cal, giving cal give a brand now that stress and or when a senior member is unable to travel with the family , and the program is also, um provide options for seniors who are being discharged from hospital or who have been recently year and need a temporary place to stay. and here they feel healthy enough to return home. and kim oci uses a sliding scare to offer subsidies to residents and um and their potential residents and who may not afford the, um for monthly rate. kimo cheese, a new grand tea with us to provide our cf services with this grand support the operation cost will allow chemo she to continue support residents with the subsidies and , uh next time going to into self help for the elderly, self help for the elderly has founded in 1966 again over 50 years 57 years. providing services in san francisco. the agency's mission , promote independence, well being and dignity for older adults through culturally aligned services and programs in san francisco and throughout the bay area, and in the past 57 years, self help has grown into organization that provides comprehensive range of multicultural and multi um lingual services. self helps. our cf program is that autumn growth alzheimer care home, which is also known as autumn growth, which is located in his valley. it's a three story victorian building, and it has, uh. 15 beds. uh three of the beds are single occupancy, and all the rest are double occupancy, and it was initially a self help for the elderly project funded by the us department of housing and urban development and the mayor's office of housing and also contracted with department of public health to provide our cf services. back in 1996 believe and, um, but in twenties in 2018 , the dph contrast transferred to the us where we believe this is a benefit within our department mission. um and, uh, autumn growth has been a license the rc f d since 2001 with 15 best capacity as i mentioned earlier, autumn growth is in full compliance with title 22 r cfb program requirements with community care license. and to provide care for individual with dementia and autumn growth also needs to meet additional title 22 requirement in this regulation, which include that they need to have provided staff with additional trend training. um and, uh, especially dementia related topics. um. medication management, how to handle wandering and aggression and inappropriate behaviors. um the facility also required to have a security feature. and um and also some physical plan modification may be required. so this additional regulation. um also require that the residents , health condition and cognitive condition being closely monitor and being communicated with the residents. primary care provider . um so the brand will support. um this additional operational cost for self help. residents eligible for the program must have a dementia diagnosis and um , and also be qualified as a tenant based on us. uh hard criteria. um 90% of the autumn growth staff is bilingual. they speak both english and chinese in different dialogue. self help for the elderly has the capacity to provide multilingual, multicultural support for older adult adults with disability in vietnamese, malay, galo, spanish and russia. um so i'm at this time, i would like to pass and like to, uh, see if you have any questions i can answer. thank you. thank you very much for that comprehensive explanation, though any comments from commissioners i do. i do have a question. thank you again for a comprehensive presentation. i just actually have some questions on the budget. very high level question. um one thank you. one has to do with the budget for, um, chemo key. i noticed that one of the line items in case there's amount budget for resident subsidy. can you talk a little bit more about that? okay yes, that's great. it's a really good question. chemo, she has been providing subsidy. program for their crying as we all know that longevity and, um, chemo, she residents. average age is about 94, and many of the residents has been in the facility for a long time. and there, um, saving depleted and at one point they won't be able to afford the rate and so at that time, kim oci do fundraising to help him with the subsidies. and so at this time, there is a few clark residents actually pay paying 50% of the rate. um so the funding is really helping them to continue to provide support for those residents and also potential residents who do not have the resource to assess the market rate. that's that sounds really great thing to be able to cover . the cost of my question has to do can generally i noticed with chemo key in terms of the budget ? it is indeed a budget that covers various operational expense. but when i look at the budget for self healthfully hourly, i noticed most of the funds goes to staffing. can you kind of explain the differences? both agency they they plan the budget a little bit different and four chemo. chee um there's a subsidy cities and they also have some operation costs for self help. as i mentioned they have additional staffing cost, so it's been so, for example, they have a medication management. so for people with dementia, the normally need additional assistance with their medication management. self health. have staff oversee that . and so the staffing cost is really high as self help, so the fundings really helping them to stabilize stuff. um the staffing costs so they need more help in terms of staffing and also dementia. client has, um, we need more staffing to support the needs. some ways went some mani's our one on one behavior. um support. so the staffing really support the program. okay thank you. you're very welcome. questions from commissioners. then do we have any members of
