that is really a disservice to all of us and i will just mention, i am on the boar for the state-wide association that represents public co conservators. we have another bill that was mitted in the last legislative cycle supported with csac and to request state funding for the county operations of the programs. and there is not a home for the office of the public conservator at the state level which is unusual for programs we operate locally and that's because there is no dedicated funding for the public concouldn' conservator p. part of the budget proposal that is going forward is that the association would assist the state with data collection efforts moving forward and i wanted to highlight that proposal because i think any support we can provide would be really helpful. i think it's a very important proposal. so again, this was a survey that we did, a point in time survey, and i'm grateful they accepted the information we provided and we have saved these caseload standards through inquiry to colleagues. i will tell you that some of my colleagues are concerned about having their caseload numbe

counties across the state, and again, this is my antidotal knowledge based on working with the state association, counties are operating these programs on an absolute shoestring and that's why the budget proposal that i've referenced earlier is critically important. i mean, we have three programs that do not have designated state funding for the county operations. in san francisco, we are lucky. we know that. we have additional resources that our colleagues across state do not have. so i think that we already have some of the bills and they've been introduced. what we need to do is make sure that they pass at the state level and that they're funded appropriately because in order to actually implement them, it will cost the state and counties quite a bit of money. there's investments not just with staffing but the investments on the placement and treatment side. the state audit that campbell referenced earlier was a tremendous opportunity. we had state opportunities with us for three weeks and i am really, really looking forward to the recommendations that they will be publishing, that we should
