san francisco county jail, san francisco juvenile justice system out of home placements, the california department of corrections and rehabilitation facilities, and the united states federal bureau of prison facilities. so currently -- excuse me. so there are seven members of the reentry council who are formerly incarcerated persons, but none of them are allowed to serve as an officer of the council who can chair the meetings. currently, all of the officers who are responsible for chairing the reentry meetings are criminal justice department heads and members of the mayor's office. so this would allow one of the formerly incarcerated members to chair the meeting. jose bernal, a formerly incarcerated member, and the other six members, proposed that one of the members be allowed to chair the meetings, and it was supported by the other members. the council decided since they were seeking an amendment to the officer clause, that they should also focus on cleaning up the other language in the ordinance. this is in line with supervisor fewer's resolution to adopt person-first language, which was adopted unanimously by the board of supervisors this year. so if it's okay with you, chair ronen, i'm going to turn it over to joffrey, who can speak a little more about this ordinance and can answer your questions. so thank you for your time, and we hope to have your support. >> chair ronen: thank you so much. >> hello, supervisors. i also wanted to give you one more clause that was added is, like, a conflict of interest clause. so one of the beautiful things is that our seven formerly incarcerated individuals got a job with a law enforcement agency, and so it appears to be, like, two votes because she now works for a law enforcement agency, and one of those clauses is if you are hired by any of the city departments that sit on the board, within 90 days, we're -- the -- according to the update, we're asking you to resign. but that 90 days gives the person a chance to resign. we don't want to discourage people from taking city employment while they're on the council. ian did not speak to that, but i wanted to know that. because she works for adult probation, and it look like adult probation may have two votes. she's a very hard advocate. she doesn't care who she works for, but we don't want a conflict of interest. while we opening it up, we might as well clean it up. so that is the reason for that. so if you have any other questions? >> supervisor stefani: i just have one quick one. in terms of the conflict of interest, can you just expand on that a little bit more? like, what would be the conflict of interest if someone was taking their experience being formerly incarcerated and now working for the city in any capacity? i understand that it's adult probation, but i just don't understand where the conflict is? like, where is the division that would arise? >> so you can work for the city, just not one of the departments that sits on the council, so if one is a member who came -- if she got a job at the library, it wouldn't be a conflict. but when they vote, our vote, especially when -- in april, when we look at criminal justice reform bills, it could look like adult probation, they could vote in line with law enforcement. members were questioning that. >> supervisor stefani: okay. >> so like any board, the port, the p.u.c. is not on our board. it's 13 boards, like criminal justice, department of health, all that stuff. people want it to be nonbiased. >> supervisor stefani: okay. thank you. >> chair ronen: thank you. is there any other member of the public who wishes to speak on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. i think this makes a lot of sense and would love to be added as a cosponsor, and with that, i will make a motion to send this item forward with a positive recommendation, and without objection, that motion passes unanimously. [gavel]. >> chair ronen: thank you. mr. clerk, can you please read item 4. >> clerk: item 4 is an ordinance amending the police code to make an existing exemption to the paid parental leave ordinance to employers with fully paid family leave policies consistent with recent changes to state law. >> chair ronen: thank you so much. supervisor stefani, do you want to make any opening remarks? >> supervisor stefani: yes, thank you. colleagues, before you is a small technical change to our city's paid family leave program. in 2016, san francisco became the first city in the country to ensure that employees receive 100% of their salary when they took paid parental leave. so san francisco's program works like this. under california law, in 2016, workers could take up to six weeks of partial paid parental leave. in san francisco, employers are then required to pay the difference of these employees' salaries so they are making 100% of their salary up to a certain limit. and last year, i think we all know that governor newsom extended the partial paid leave by two weeks to extend to eight weeks of partial paid program. our city's current policy has an exemption for employers that provide more generous leave than required by city law. if an employer zoo giving fully paid leave to an employee for a number of weeks equal to or more than what is required by san francisco's current law, they are exempted from the law because they are doing more than we require. when the time was extended from six weeks to eight weeks, a looph
