i am a second generation san franciscoian. and i support nancy tung because of the uncertain times. i feel that it's very, very important that we strike a balance for the community and to also to serve the needs of the community that live and work here. i am supporting miss tung for the fact that she's worked as a prosecutor and her job is essentially to fight crime. although there is much great social unrest in this country, i ask to consider that there's several residents here who have no (indiscernible) with the violence around the country and they find, for example, that their livelihoods and their family businesses are being vandalized for no apparent reason. i believe that nancy tung could be very, very effective in the role as police commissioner in enforcing discipline against wayward law enforcement. and i strongly encourage the commission to go ahead and to endorse miss tung for appointment to the san francisco police commission. thank you very much. >> caller: hello, my name is carey nixon and i strongly oppose both nancy tung and geoffrey gordon-creed for the police comm

and they need to make it good on their promise to san franciscoians that they will complete these reformshey should complete them as exditiously as possible. i would like to see at least half of them completed by the end of the year. and, certainly, there are time-consuming meetings that have to happen but people really need to work in order to deliver on these things. i mean, it's not merely a question of, you know, did you check it off your list but it's a question of credibility and building that trust within the community. >> thank you for that answer. and just a quick finish-up on that, because i agree that we have to implement those to build trust in the community and to build the police department that we know that we can in our city. what would you do to make sure that we do finish those reforms in a manner, like you said, that is much quicker than where we're at now? >> well, i mean, i think that we should be reporting them. the commission should be reporting back to the public because, certainly, there are groups that report to the commission. so the chief makes a report to the

a little bit of context, c.b.o.s and the youth serving field provided nearly 7,000 jobs for san franciscoians of which 4,000 of those youth workers made under 50% of the median income. this is extrap extrapolated over the course of a year's salary so many part-time workers will be hit harder during covid-19. additionally, in addition to this we have provided 3,000 jobs for young people and it's been highlighted the importance of providing youth workforce development for our communities. so we do ask that the department of children and youth and families and the board of supervisors and mayors fully fund programs that support youth and families and knowing that in previous years of 1819, the grant awards covered only 60% of the expenses in the field. and that this needs to increase in order for us to be fully sustainable with future threats, including cuts to the grant proposed in the may budget for the state of california. so i appreciate and i thank you for all of your work and we want to encourage you to keep up the good fight. >> clerk: thank you. next caller, please. >> caller: good after
