every member of the advisory board will be a volunteer. so, there's no compensation paid to the members of the advisory board committee. like yourselves, they're going to be members -- residents of the city who care about this issue and so want to volunteer their time. in terms of the cost to the human rights commission, because this legislation doesn't go into effect until the soonest nine months, we plan to work along with our co-sponsor supervisor kim who we put this legislation together with through the budget process this coming year to adequately staff the department to be able to adequately enforce this law. >> commissioner riley. >> hi. >> hi. >> you mentioned that you have not determined what kind of data you're going to collect. so, once you decided that, would you come back and show it to us? >> sure, absolutely. after the -- we're happy to do another presentation after the equal pay advisory board comes up with their final recommendations. we can also perhaps ask the board -- the board chair him or herself to come and present th

submit an equal pay report regarding compensation paid to employees; and establishing the equal pay advisory board to analyze and recommend the best methods of data collection that will identify wage gaps, and setting forth the membership and duties of the advisory board. ~ set forth members and duties of the advisory board. >> supervisor campos? >> thank you, mr. president. for us the idea of this law is something that first came up when we read that earlier this year. president obama issued an executive order requiring federal contractors to provide aggregate compensation data by race and gender. we thought it would be helpful to, and important for san francisco to emulate the federal directive at the local level and my office immediately reached out to the president of the commission on the status of women, nancy kushner rodriguez to see what she thought of the idea. she said she liked the idea and put us in touch with federal officials who were part of the process for implementing the president's directive. my office next reached out to [speaker not understood] who is a regional representative

the e.p.a.'s science advisory board for years. and the e.p.a. science advisory board reform act we believe addresses those concerns. mr. schweikert: currently the board is made of 52 members appointed by the administrator of the e.p.a. to serve three-year templets the large majority of these members are affiliated with academic institutions while private industry and other interested parties are unrepresented. the only state governments represented are california and vermont, while log tribal governments and local government -- local tribal governments and local government have no representation on the board. h.r. 1422 at least 10% of the board members, at least 10% of the board members will be from states, local governments, or tribal entities. the bill reinforces peer review requirements and reduces conflicts of interest while providing opportunity for disinterested panelists to make their views known. the science advisory reform act promises fairness, transparency, and independent pence to ensure unbiased -- independence to ensure unbiased adv

okay, as the advisory board? mr. leon schmidt? >> good morning, president james, commissioners, executive director hinton, the advisory council met on september 17th, we welcomed two new advisory council members benny wong who was voted in by the commission and madeleine brigham who was appointed by supervisor london breed from district five. the report forms were finalized and we had a council person who went to do a site visit to the western addition, and the report came back that everything was okay and all of the needs ever being met there. >> and the advisory council sent a letter to brown for the care giver bill and we are awaiting for the signature, and they have a new director, kelley dear man and will be invited to the october, advisory council meeting to present a short six month update. and the nominating committee has a full body and we now are in process of of finding a nominating chair person by november. and the advisory council is still looking for a volunteer to complete the (inaudible) four-year, california senior

five from the advisory board, and three from the commission. five plus three is eight. eight people make-up a committee. and you need 4 plus one for a quorum, which is five. we had five people there. and that is the quorum. okay? that is... there was a quorum. the long term care council committing, any other questions? >> good morning. >> >> and if it is... that is..., and now that i can't see you 5u8, this is jessica lehman and we are going to have a different member of the long term care council giving the report, this month we get me and so the council met on thursday september 11th and there were three major items on the agenda, and the first was the care task force, and which is about looking at the needs in the community and identifying resources and needs. and the council heard the recommendations from the four work groups. and over all, recommendation is to have a care advisory board, and that would operate under the long term coordinating council and one of the co-chairs of the task force is our very own anne hinton and if you have questions i am sure that she

if this ordinance just knishates the process and sets the equal pay advisory board who then over the next couple of months go through the process of getting all of this input, specifics on how we can treat nonprofits, how we can treat organizations with 20 to 50 employees or 20 to 100 employees, how we can treat larger organizations that may have a greater capacity to report, all of this will get worked out in the next several months. and the actual date by which we request these reports won't be until september 2015. so, i think being that this ordinance just sets out the process, i think that it's important that we start it as early as possible so we can give maximum time to the process to make sure that we can maximize our input from our stakeholders and make sure that we have a really good process in place by september by which we can collect this really important reporting. women deserve to be paid for the work that they do and they deserve to be paid at the equal rate that men do. and i feel like we just can't wait to get this process started so that we can make sure that those

the e.p.a. science advisory board. and i -- and the e.p.a. science advisory board, mr. speaker, considers rules that impact agriculture. by working together in the farm bill, my colleague, representative peterson, and i were able to ensure that farmers have a stronger voice when it comes to e.p.a. regulations. for the first time, agriculture interests will be represented within the s.a.b. i can report that e.p.a.'s made progress in standing up this ag related committee and i believe the voices and input provided by farmers and producers to the e.p.a. will make for more commonsense policy. h.r. 1422 will provide the public with more access to scientific information and more opportunities to comment onboard actions. this legislation also ensures that state and local government officials would be part of the science advisory board. as my colleague alluded to earlier, we cannot have a science advisory board made up primarily of individuals who receive grant funding from the federal government to make decisions that affect them. again, i rise in support of this bill. i thank

recommendations to be ready and for the process to take place in september that it makes sense to get the advisory board as much time as possible. ~. obviously i will defer to the author on this, but that's just my quip for why we should pass it today. but the recommendation that i would make is to change that seat 7 for a person that works in a nonprofit organization that contracts with the city. >> supervisor tang? >> thank you. i don't know if there is an opportunity to second that motion, but i fully agree with supervisor kim's suggestion and thank you for that. i also want to acknowledge that, yes, i did have an opportunity to speak with supervisor campos and really the goal is just to get a few more departments or commissions ability to provide some of those suggestions on this legislation. so, for example, the department of children youth and families, you know, were not consulted about this and i think they have a huge role in this legislation. so, i would actually like to withdraw my motion and make a motion instead to continue this item to the full board for the november 25th meeting instead,

are coincidentally because of the cultural competency requirement from the department of public health we are creating an advisory board for the community. this is a great opportunity from a learning process to have better engagement with our local neighbors and include them in the advisory board. >> hopefully we can differentiate with a child acting out. i went to boarding schools and i have seen many of my classmates jumping across the fence and there is another boarding school and they were girls jumping over the fence. we need to just be able to help, continue the engagement process to help neighbors understand how important a program like this and what it means to really offer a different alternative to psych emergency to our children. i don't have any additional questions. unless any other commissioners have comments. >> i have a comment. as a mental health professional there is not enough psychiatric hospital beds anywhere else in the state. the idea is that young children and their families are waiting in the emergency room. this is not a good place. that said, the pure led crisis alternatives as well as the ad

amendment i'm planning on macon page 13 on line 3 just asking that the advisor board have a consideration within 6 months we add in the advisory board within 6 months to simultaneously finds out the implementation process that is not the legislation noted preclude that from happening i want to make sure this is being implemented by the board of supervisors they they have a chance to provide feedback that maybe possible and again, i the say i don't appreciate my miss characterization it is an important issue i support and simply want to make it better and smooth process when it's implemented so with that, i make a motion. >> i neglected when supervisor campos asked for a second is there a second supervisor kim colleagues any discussion on supervisor campos amendment we'll take that without objection. that is adapt and supervisor tang a second second by supervisor kim any discussion with regards to them we'll take that without objection. that is adapted supervisor kim. >> thank you just want to again thank supervisor campos office but all the advocates and members of our community that are here to support this really important l

at that point they limited 75 parts per billion, but that's not as strict as the advisory board recommended. now the obama administration hopes to tighten it down to 65 to 70 parts per billion. here is are the counties across the country that will have the hardest time adapting to these proposed changes. you'll see that them in the darkest blue. dark--darkest areas. they'll put out a final rule next fall. >> what is the reaction in washington to the proposed rules. >> industry is pushing back. the petroleum institute is saying that pollution is getting better across the country, and that will hurt jobs. environment committees on capitol hill vowing to fight this, and house speaker john boehner saying this: >> reporter: the house speaker points out what this rule can do to the economy. the president thought about doing this three years ago, but begged off at the time. it was in the eve of his midterm election rather his mid election, his 2012 election, and the said that the economy could not take it at the time. environmentalists sued because that have delay and the courts said they had to c
