nickel, jim illig, michael costa, dr. edellman. but i was asked to speak on behalf of stu smith. he, like me, he's a native san franciscan. you know, he has seen the tra trajectory of our community, has seen what has gone on in the history of the gay community here in san francisco. and i think that perspective is important. i don't come out here a lot to speak on behalf of anybody but i'm delighted to be here to speak on his behalf. he's a member of the disabled community, the hiv community, he's a small business leader, understands housing, is a wonderful volunteer at shanti, just is an incredible human being and i'm thrilled to speak on his behalf and also offer my recommendation to the folks i already mentioned. thanks so much. >> chair kim: thank you for being here. >> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is martha knutson chairs of the democratic club. i want to thank you for creating this important task force. i got to sit here for a while and it's just awesome what is happening here in this historic moment. i want to acknowledge we're sharing that feeling today and i'm su

i'm proud to speak in support of michael costa who has served on our executive board as our treasurer for many years. from direct experience, michael will be an effective and conscientious task force member who brings his passion and ability to every service he undertakes. his application rÉsume i think were excellent. he'll bring his experience as a healthcare policy consultant to the task force, in addition to all the years that he's had as a healthcare activist in the lgbt community to which i can directly attest. getting healthcare for the lgbt community has been and will continue to be a daunting challenge. our community has faced the challenge of support for hiv illnesses, addressed the special health needs of less beans and transgender people and must ensure fair treatment of elders whose relationships have gone unrecognized for years. michael will bring actual work exheerns on these issues to the tax force, will bring thoughtful legislative solutions on senior, lgbt healthcare policy and i hope you will appoint him to the lgbt senior task force and now my cochair will speak fo

michael costa is subpoena tha cd love to see on this committee. do you want to start with a motion?>> it would make sense to get to 15 and then make a motion but i certainly agree with all of the recommendations that were made. i think stu smith, very impressive presentation and the level of support from the community as well as larry saxxon, michael costa. i think he probably will play the role of the policy wonk and i think that's something you want to see as well. someone that i've always been very impressed with, because of what she means to the community, is felicia elizondo. i think it's important to have representation from all sides of san francisco. i also want to add jorge rodriguez. supervisor wiener probably has some. >> supervisor wiener: i can crash the party. there are a few i want to mention. one is bill ambrunn was in a lot of ways wasn't the only moving force behind this but he was the one who cracked the whip on all of us from the very beginning and made sure this happened. so i think he would be a phenomenal addition. daniel redman, who is just done tremendous wo

i'm mik michael costa. i got a masters in public policy from university of michigan and spent most of the last 30 years designing, implementing and evaluating innovative programs in the healthcare area. as someone who just turned 60 a few months ago i'm looking forward to another 30 years of doing that. and most of what i've been doing and continue to do is involved in increasing access to affordable coverage. and unlike most i'm a -- i think i would be the wonk on the task force. i've had the opportunity to actually get involved in implementing innovative programs, pilot program in manhattan on the west side of manhattan from the west village up to the upper westside that was targeting lgbt who didn't have access to healthcare. and also i helped bring -- steven market, which are two drugs which have become important to our community, especially as hiv has become a chronic disease. and that involved basically thinking of innovative ways to get public and private partnerships which i think is important for t

redman, felicia elizondo, jazzie collins, jorge rodriguez, kaushik roy, larry saxxon, lawrence michael costa, marcy adeleman, michelle alcedo, larry lange, scott haitsuka, tommi, and william ambrunn. do i have all of the 15? >> chair kim: so we have a motion to move forward these 15 names with positive recommendation. >> second that. >> chair kim: we have a second to that. supervisor wiene. >> supervisor wiener: this is a strong list and there are additional people who i think were disappointed on there. but to reiterate we said at the beginning i assume there will be an advisory committee so other people can be involved. in addition to -- we have various ways of measuring diversity but i think one of the important ways of measuring diversity here is political diversity. this town, and city hall, you know, it's a very diverse place in terms of people's politics. and as we saw with the housing trust fund, when we get a broad spectrum together and come up with a product, maybe not everyone's thrilled with everything, but everyone can get behind, we have a lot of strength. so i think on this ta
