supervisor ronen? >> supervisor ronen: sorry, thank you. i am -- i have been having hard time making a decision on this appointment. it's not about you ms. isen personally at all, it's about the fact that i consider the h.r. to be a broken department. what i would have loved to see is someone come in who hasn't been part of the department for so many years and hasn't been in leadership position for many years, that had a fresh pair of eyes and could look at starting and rebuilding something new. i say this it's broken, some of my colleagues mentioned, of course the scandal, which is awful and horrible for any of us to see. the disparities in wages and merits and promotions especially when it comes to black community. also, in the basic -- one of the basic and major roles departnt

i do see supervisor ronen? >> supervisor ronen: thank you. i'm so sorry. with computer issues. i wanted to give a little bit more context behind this hearing. these are the remarks that i made at the the rules committee and you want to thank the rules committee and president walton for supporting this effort. the proposed motion would establish the youth adults and family committee which will be brand new standing committee within the board of supervisors that will serve as a place for legislative and policy discussions focused on addressing the comprehensive needs for san franciscan children youth and their families. as it is, san francisco faces a sad reality that is home to fewer children than any other major city in the united states. with families fleeing the public school system in record numbers and crazy high housing cost, board of supervisors deserve a committee that can dig into -- in partnership with the university commission, and other youth focused entities. we have benefited from the prest on education over the last year, select committees th

[♪♪♪] [♪♪♪] i think it was in junior high and really started to do well in math but i faced some really interesting challenges. many young ladies were not in math and i was the only one in some of these classes. it was tough, it was difficult to succeed when a teacher didn't have confidence in you, but i was determined and i realized that engineering really is what i was interested in. as i moved into college and took engineering, preengineering classes, once again i hit some of those same stereotypes that women are not in this field. that just challenged

supervisor ronen. >> yes, thank you. colleagues i'm introducing a resolution and support of the california nutrition incentive program budget coalition request for state funding of $20 million in 2021-22. market match is a important program that doubles the purchasing powers and this past year has only shown how urgently this program is needed and how effective it can be in our communities. prior to the covid-19 pandemic, food insigh occur tee in san francisco was too common and dph reported 1/4 were at risk for hunger with impacts on long-term and physical long-term health. and the glaring issue that has defined the pandemic for san francisco is how disparity of wealth has determined how people have been individually effected. without question they have suffered the nothing further and across the san francisco there were quick mobilizations to expand food pantries and grocery and meal deliveries and an organizations like the mission food hub and any district have been life savers the farmer markets are opened throughout

. >> president walton: thank you supervisor ronen. supervisor safai? >> supervisor safai: thank you, mr. president. many of my colleagues said a lot of what many of the points that i wanted to say. one point in particular that was of concern to me. i will say this to you ms. isen. there's been a consistent practice in many of the departments to contract out certain services rather than work to hire full-time employees. we dealt with that issue with security guard at many of our museums. we have had to deal with that issue with regard to nurses in our hospitals. we're dealing with that now with the issue with e.m.t., private contracting services. it's a consistent practice over and over again. one in which i think from a fiduciary, just purely from a fiduciary perspective, the taxpayers of san francisco are losing out. it increases much more overtime. it increases much more turnover. it increases much more instability in these departments. i know it's an issue i know you will tackle head-on. this contracting out issue is one that's crucial for you to ta

supervisor ronen? >> supervisor ronen: thank you. colleagues, it's nice to be here with you during this historic day and moment. it's very heavy that, for once, having the right verdict. i don't know that many of us feel much lighter about the situation that got us here, but i do want to express some gratitude. i want to express my thanks to president walton who shows us every single day what leadership is about. i want to thank keith ellison, the attorney general of minnesota, who is an incredibly inspiring person, who not only had the bravery to prosecute derek chauvin but did so with -- with so much professionalism, so much care, so much exacting attention to detail, and i want to thank the jury for doing the right thing. and the only thing i'll say because so many of you have said this already with such beauty, is that the only way that we're going to wipe our hands of centuries of blood, because that's the reality of our country, is if we let this one trial and this moment of accountability, and it's not only being murdered by l

supervisor ronen? >> yes, thank you. thank you, ms. groffenberger. quick question, because of the radically changed budget news, has the mayor changed her instructions to the departments of the budget that is they should submit to her? >> no, so the department budgets were due february 22, and so that timeline has passed. we are now in the mayor's phase of the budget, so we did not ask departments to re-submit budgets, bring budgets back to their commissions. our office works really closely with departments to understand how what they've submitted has changed given changing fiscal outlooks, so it's a very dynamic and collaborative process between our office and the departments to understand what choices are now no longer needed given this updated financial news. >> i see. so every department still submitted a budget that we can look at with a 7.5 cut plus a 2% contingency? >> that's right. >> okay, and so what would be really helpful when the board considers all the department's budgets is if we could see that original budget submission from the depa

[applause] >> supervisor ronen: hello, everyone. we are having a great day in the mission.ination site just a couple blocks away, and now to cut the ribbon on 1950 mission is really, without exaggeration, a dream come true. i was looking up -- i don't know if they're still there, but there was two little girls peeking out at this press conference from one of those windows, and all i could think to myself is that's all we have to do is point to those two little girls and know why we're doing this work and why 1950 mission matters so, so much. i think it was eight or nine years ago, as a legislative aide to my predecessor, david campos, i testified at the legislation meeting, asking the city to swap this piece of land for another piece of land so that we could build this incredible place, and to still be here, to be able to cut the ribbon and to look at what has become, to know that not only do we have, you know, over 100 units of affordable housing, many for formerly homeless families, but that we have an art center and a child care center and a bike repair shop doing their
