what's listed on this sheet are a set of strategies that the work group proposed. they build off the notion, sort of the central findings of the work group that there's not enough capacity for low income residents and even for capacity that exist, low income residents of the city can't afford what's there without some meaningful supplements or patches. a contribution from someone else besides them. the strategies involved providing more supplements, they involve providing higher supplements for some folks that could gain access to more facilities that are out there now and primarily support slightly higher income market. they include notions of potentially either city building of facilities or making land available because land costs are very high. there are some recommendations that relate to better supporting the board and care sector over the market by helping with workforce, helping with collective purchasing of various things from insurance to potentially food. then, working to enhance the states assisted living waiver program to get more assisted living waive

group and the working group on general order 3.16. we're proud to be working with you on the community's coordinated response to sexual violence. thank you so much for this opportunity. >> commissioner mazzucco: thank you so much and thank you so much for everything you do, more importantly. thank you. miss upton? >> good evening and happy new year, commissioners. beverly upton, san francisco domestic violence consoretium. the work the language access group just gets more important every day as we know. anybody that watches the news knows that it's dire. we have the right people at the table. i think commander lozar, captain troy dangerfield -- of course zamira keeps us moving in the right direction, having the women at far, the sf domestic violence committee, just so committed to meeting once a month and committed to bringing new ideas at the table but also ideas that we've been trying to move forward and the goals that the work group have had are coming to -- coming to fruition, and they are. some of the things i think, just the sup

working groups. one of the things engaging with them, we wanted to provide more systematic feedback in our work so that everybody has an idea of what is the feedback what are the things we need and what are the challenges and successes. in terms of our next steps, that is already happening, principal professional development happens. every month, we have creator edr professional development. we are working with parents for public schools and then in terms of aligning budget and building support, we are proposing a budget to sales force. we're building the -- one of the things that's really important for us to understand, there's also capacity within the district. we are building out the project base learning team and building capacity within. so we don't have to rely on outside consultant to transform the education for our students. thank you. >> president cook: thank you. we do have a few speakers signed up for public comment on this item. >> hello. welcome commissioner lam. thank you all for the mi

so through a working group, they come up with different signs we need to put at the stations to let them know what is available. we're working with some of the technology, we're actually right now piloting on -- every officer has a samsung cell phone, and it has an app on it, where they'll be able to do video. so someone that is signing can look at this and then the person can talk to the officer. so we're piloting that right now. and then the education, all those myths, we have to get that out of the way. and we hope to do that by way of video. so the video will be like a longer video talking about myths and all the things about how you deal with everyone. and then we'll cut that video into pieces and it will be distributed on a regular basis during lineups at each of the stations. they'll clip those and have a conversation about it. and our language access officer will be there to answer questions and give quick scenarios and hopefully we'll bring people from the communities to give those snips. it will be have to be incorporated in the report writing, because it's a different techniqu

so the working group is still ongoing, and you're meeting how often? >> we meet every wetwice a mon. i think it's every second tuesday at the conference room. and the participants are not only the stakeholder groups, but also the captain and lieutenant from the special victims unit since they're working very closely with the victims and captain dangerfield and our staff at community engagement. >> commissioner hamasaki: mind if i join you? >> you're welcome, yes, of course. >> commissioner hamasaki: so i had a -- a couple calls this week. one, i -- you know, i know you from your time in district three, you know, excellent -- excellent -- you did excellent work there in addressing a lot of these concerns with the community there. i know this is something you care deeply about and have worked, you know, really hard to -- to -- to move the ball here, and i think that everybody is grateful for that. i wanted to check in -- there were questions that were asked of me. where are we on the recertification of officers? >> so we're doing the training on eight hou

it's reporting on theresa may appointing brexit hardliners to a working group to find what are beingop. the financial times now. its focus is on nissan pulling production of the x—trail car from the uk. let's look at the main story on french newspaper le figaro. it says president macron is considering a referendum on mps terms as a means of quelling the yellow vest protests. norway's nrk covers the story of a man saved by his apple watch. it detected that the 67—year—old had fallen and summoned help. and finally a story from hawaii news now. we don't look at this one often, but we are today. why a new measure to combat smoking could see the sale of cigarettes restricted to people over 100 years old. i'm not quite adult. —— that old. with me isjonathan charles — who is managing director of communications at the european bank for reconstruction and development. the irish times has been devoted to this issue for weeks now, the irish backstop and the fact that there seems to be no movement on this. and it is now the key issue, given what happened in parliament last week. the clock is tic

it has been over two years since we had information from that working group, and i would like to see its results and what it is doing. chairman powell: i have to look into that, i'm sure that we have a number of staff that work with that group and i will come back to you on that. do not know what they are doingi, personally. >> i would appreciate you following up that that working group and giving us a briefing, sharing it when you can. as you know come in a bank -- as you know, no banks failed last year. nation wenthen the to the longest without a single bank failure was 32 months, from 2004-2007, just before the financial crisis. then we had three banks collapse in 2007, 25 failed in 2008, 140 in 2009, 157 in 2010. created in 1933, so until that run-up in 2004, not a single calendar year had passed without a bank failing. do you agree that a long stretch lithout any failures can lul the public and financial market experts and regulators into a false sense of security? chairman powell: i think that we are talking about human nature, so yes. the bankingthat system is now so much bette

does beg the question that others did ask before this, will kim jung-un allow this to become a working grouprking level process. will donald trump want to keep meeting with kim jung-un. and if so, you know, what are the pitfalls of that. and we've seen that there are pitfalls. this needs to be highly prepared, highly technical. the negotiations are very technical. but f. it did flound der on kim jung-un asking for the entirety of sanctions to be lifted which is an extra ordinary thought, it means that he has not read the situation carefully at all and he overestimated what he could get out of the united states. >> a good point because there was a lot of reporting leading up to this and concern within his own administration that the president would overconcede and the president walked away. he said that it was a friendly walkaround, b aroun walkaway, but we are in the spin zone now and in the final analysis they could not complete upon all of the agreed upon steps. there was meant to be a working lunch, that was canceled. there was meant to be a signing ceremony ever something, even the low h

work with. we have a bond like any other group of employees that work for a specific agency in san francisco. we work closely on each case to determine the best cause of death, and we also interact with family members of the diseased. that brings us closer together also. >> i am an investigator two at the office of the chief until examiner in san francisco. as an investigator here i investigate all manners of death that come through our jurisdiction. i go to the field interview police officers, detectives, family members, physicians, anyone who might be involved with the death. additionally i take any property with the deceased individual and take care and custody of that. i maintain the chain and custody for court purposes if that becomes an issue later and notify next of kin and make any additional follow up phone callsness with that particular death. i am dealing with people at the worst possible time in their lives delivering the worst news they could get. i work with the family to help them through the grieving process. >> i am ricky moore, a clerk at the san francisco medical examiner's

joining me is john park, director of the working group at the john f. kennedy's school of government. thank you for being here. >> sure. >> what can we expect in terms whatever they will let news on, because we've heard from some of our previous guests, which don't even have a full accounting of their program. >> sure, ed. one thing to keep in mind is we're in the middle of a process. there is a lot of focus on a single event, upcoming is summ. if you look at singapore there was an agreement laid out with four principles, so in many respects, the idea of moving forward with working groups, time table, road map, the different sketches of those, the options for these conversations, that's the base says of the next steps so very much focused on the process opposed to a single event analysis that is important and what the north koreans will put on the table is directly tied to the sanctions relief or exemptions they're looking for. they need that to build up their economy. >> indeed, young bond, one of the nuclear facilities we believe they have, is constit

expect to see any work product it's been over two years since we had any information from that working group. i would like to see its results. >> i'll to look into that. i'm sure that we have a number of staff who work full-time. i can come back to you on that. it was 2001 to 2007 just before the financial crisis 157 banks failed in 2010 since the fda was created in 1833 until that run up in the financial crisis in 2004, not a single calendar year passed without a bank failing do you agree that a long stretch without any bank failures hold the public and even financial market experts and regulators such as yourself into a false since of security? >> i think really wii talking about human mayture here by making a system much more resilient. >> i appreciate your point about the importance of making sure the system is correct and capitalized. >> no we're not. >> have you changed the capital holding requirements on the issues and measures used in the stress test especially for things that under $250 billion threshold? no >> since when? >> before the crisis >> i'm speaking about the most recent y

the results of the coordination working group that met last week, specifically, i want to draw everyone's attention to the work that we're beginning to do in response to the mayor's executive directive, regarding air quality. as you may recall our november meeting was postponed because of poor air quality in recognition and consideration of people with disabilities who are affected by air quality. so the working group is currently looking at response specific to disability and lessons learned around the event. so if you're interested in being engaged in that conversation, please contact the mayor's office on disability and we'll make that connection with you. next i'd like to announce that since the last time we met in public meeting, the amendment to the waste reduction ordinance, or the plastic straw ordinance, i'm happy to report that the amendment that more specifically outlines requirements and guidance around plastic straw provision for people with disabilities was unanimously approved by the board of supervisors at their october 27, 2018 meeting. and that implementtation efforts ar

, i don't want to say a working group. working groups are overused, but they should really use the ability for people in the community to give feedback. the p.i.m. is offline on weekends occasionally for upgrading and things like that, and the faster the projects move through without the ability to get documents from the -- get applications. the planning department staff people all the time send me, when i request an application, they say they have a standard language saying look to the p.i.m. the p.i.m. is not the answer. when you want to have an application and forwarded to people in the neighborhood to understand what the project is. the application is really important. not go to the p.i.m., which is what the staff default is. so i'm asking people to be involved with the real world, you're the representatives of the public, and they should be the representatives of the public, as well. the public is having problems getting documents. thank you. >> president melgar: thank you, ms. hester. any other public comment on this

according to the environmental work group or. the key ingredient in roundup sweet killing poisoned life to say it is also found in popular. and several breakfast foods including cereals marketed to children that found that the ingredient is present in forty three of the forty five cereals they tested thirty one of those contained life estate levels well above the organization's health benchmark of one hundred sixty parts per billion i would like to say it was also found in organic although it was detected at a low level below the safe threshold but those that contain the highest levels of life estates were quaker oldfashioned with levels higher than a thousand parts per billion popular children's brands like cheerios and lucky charms also found extremely high levels to put this into perspective e.w. g.'s child protective health benchmark for daily exposure of life a say in food is one hundred sixty parts per billion quaker oats contains seven hundred sixty a statement from each says eat only a g.'s findings raise the prospect tha

national health care decisions day is april 16th, and the san francisco palliative work group, which i co-chair, palliative work group is interested and involved in creating some buzz around national health care decisions day. we are partnering with the libraries, so have events, a couple events at the main library, but we are also going to have events throughout the city at some of the branch libraries and ask some of the senior centers in various communities where we don't, are not partnering with the library that day to have advance care planning workshops to have some panel discussions maybe about thinking about preparing for death and chronic illness, you know, how do you handle that, you know, what do you want your choices to look like, you know. how do you plan ahead. and then we are also, we may be showing some films that day, so it's a national day and do something in san francisco. we want to do this well, and probably small, and then hope to do this every year in the future and maybe build on what we do this year. so, kind of going for some small successes this year and ho

i know this working group will be working with officials to examine and test these articles to see ifh we can pursue. as i say, the spirit of wanting to get things done, working constructively, is one that i welcome and we need to do that work and then proceed at an approach that can deliver. that was a justice secretary not exactly oozing confidence at the prospect this new working group will be able to come up with something thatis be able to come up with something that is palatable to the eu, because we heard from the eu's deputy chief negotiator overnight who said in a rather acerbic tweet, reality check on alternative arrangements, could they be an alternative to the backstop? short answer, they be an alternative to the backstop? shortanswer, not they be an alternative to the backstop? short answer, not anytime soon. i take it from that that the eu was unlikely to bite on this of relying on technology to get round the possibility of a hard border in northern ireland. and so, in that case, norman, do you see any alternative players coming in with a brilliant new unicorn idea? well

. >> i'm proud to stand here as a member of leadership in the democratic women's working group and as the democratic representative for the congressional caucus for women's issues. today we stand together wearing white in solidarity with the women of the suffrage movement who refused to take no for an answer. women had to march, make demands, and fight for right, for a voice and have the right for a vote. the women's movement was full of fighters who refused to be treated as second-class citizens but still today, 100 years after women received the right to vote, the battle continues. 2019 we celebrated historic number of women in congress. ut still we're only 25% of the decisionmakers who sit under this dome adorned by lady freedom. mrs. lawrence: when women today represents 50% of this country. throughout history, women have been resilient. but we will not stop fighting. we have no plans to stop now. we will fight against the forces that continue to hold women back. this white house administration has tried to close its doors on women, but we will not be locked out. to an administrat

what has really bothered me, they decide which organizations can be part of the various working groups. and sometimes organizations that i think are very important that should have a voice have not been able to sit on some of these working groups. when you have a member from the board of supervisors, member from the executive board, it brings ideas, it flags community members that should be a part of this moving forward. i think what is going on tonight is to practice exclusion. i don't know why. i think it's a bad way to start the year. it brings a lot of bad blood and is going to be difficult to work with a commission that has a power grab and just to assume and control the agenda, the committees, the working groups and to really stifle the voice of the board of supervisors' members. i think it's really wrong. before we make any decisions we should talk about how we want to structure this board and why do we want to share this leadership and not give a voice to the people who deserve a voice in community, in our different communities. i think that's a way to continue to establish tru

let's keep the working group going. i recommended having a working group where you didn't have elected officials make more recommendations. i don't think it's a nature that we really have a constitutional breech. this is a real constitutional issue. there are many republicans that feel that way and people that really strongly believe in the constitution feel that way. >> of course. >> no one should allow us to get mixed up with the other 50 something times the emergencies were used. they were totally different situations. it doesn't take the power of the purse a way from the constitution. >> as you said a moment ago you have taken sides when you think it's right and wrong. you were against it. cortez had a trillion dollars plus deal for a green change. >> exactly, we can't do it right now. i'm not sure if we will ever be able to do it. you spoke about the debt before. it's a serious issue. if interest rates rise the debt issue will be a huge problem. we fund in the united states of america through all of the interest we

or example this one particular working group working back in westminster at the moment to try to find some practical way of working around the backstop proposal to avoid a hard border and we weren't expecting any specifics here in belfast that was one intriguing part of the speech though where you know as you said in the in the introduction it's either get rid of the backstop or make a legally binding change to it and what promise to may said was i am not proposing to persuade people to accept a deal that does not include an insurance policy what parliament has said is that they believe there should be changes made now that is a very firm way of saying the backstop is here to stay she just wants a reform to it what we don't yet know is exactly what form that reform will take the big problem that she has is that the european union stands on all of this and sabine way and who is the deputy chief negotiator for the european union has said as follows we looked at every border on this earth every border the e.u. has with a third country and there is simply no way you can do away wi

, and i think right now the matrix group with mr. brady is working with the department to analyze staffing. i think the president of the board of supervisors spearheaded this to make sure there is funding. it is moving forward. i asked commissioner brookter to be the commission and work with the dpa and report back and let us know your view how things are going. finally, on saturday i did attend a celebration of black history month put on by the police department and the mayor's office. it was first annual. i thought it was terrific. i assume there will be a second one. it is not just for african-americans. it is a critical part of american history. i think it is important for all of san francisco to participate. it was a terrific display of history and culture. i appreciate the department taking the lead in that. derek brown who i think was the brainchild. i thank you for that. yes, commissioner ham sa. >> commissioner hamasaki: this will be a presentation next meeting from matrix consulting with the staffing study. they are trying to -- the departm

i know that the age and disability friendly work group is working extensively with you and it's encouraging that daas is very much in support of what you're doing. quite impressive that you've got five -- you had five focus groups talking to the disabled leaders in the city, that is all great. just two quick comments. one of the passions that i have centers around service animals, because i do have a guide dog. so i would recommend that as you go forward, you include a discussion with people who have guide dogs or disabled folks that have service animals, because that's a very, very important part of the disabled culture and arena. the other thing i just wanted to touch on lightly. i know funding is ultimately going to be a real important aspect of this. yes, i know you're in the very beginning stages. you know, you've got to put our report out first and then there is a whole lot of other things to do, have a steering committee and so forth. have you given some thought to how beginning funding would come for this? or are we talking stages? would daas play a major part? can you elaborate a l

it's been an honor to serve the commission and be assigned here and i really enjoyed the work i did and think as a group we've accomplished a lot. >> commissioner: commissioner mazzucco who couldn't be here today sends his congratulations and thanks. >> joo >> clerk: thank you. >> and people have no idea how much work you do in terms of managing us and our department and finding out where all the answers are. we do appreciate it and we know you workday and night. we know you guys come to our houses an d drop things off we can't replicate what you do for us and thank you enough. we'll miss you. >> clerk: thank you. >> commissioner: okay. with that we're ready for the first item. >> clerk: first, commissioner we need roll call. commission president hirsch. >> here. >> clerk: commissioner taylor. >> here. >> clerk: commissioner hamasaki. >> here. >> clerk: and we have paul hen der season and this is line item 1, presentation of certificate of appreciation ms. jody mccown. >> commission president, director henderson, esteemed members of the commission and community in attendance this evening. it gives me gr

for the utility careers how to bring them together and we've launched an internal working group across enterprises an bureaus and we'll reporting back to the executive team in february and will continue to work with city college to see what we can pilot at 1800 oak dale in alignment with the job opportunities that hopefully will build a strong foundation as we move into 1550 once that's complete. i know i'm out of time. lastly, on the workforce and skill building side we have the ssip internship program that's been successful and applications are open and we encourage everyone to apply and secured three valuable scholarships for residents of the community the mason awards. they're renewable scholarships so if anyone's gotten a scholarship they know what that mens for support and one is based on stem and one is on the life and legacy of he is -- espola jackson and one is for a bay view resident of latino dissent. >> commissioner: thank you. exciting to see it coming together. i'd like a sense of the time line and especially as it relate to partner. and when you assess interest and when

commissioners can see all meetings that are scheduled that have anything to do with commission, so working groups public groups, i guess, anything that a commissioner could be present, would be present, is participating so we can all see what's happening, and if you're interested in plugging in, you'll coordinate with the staff so we're not violating any statute or reg. the second thing i want to mention is that we asked a week or two ago to please get comments back to the staff by last friday. this was on the disciplinary matrix, and i don't think we got any comments, is that right -- or did we? >> i'm sorry. i thought it was two weeks. i have it open on my desktop. >> clerk: there were two things sent out. one was a disciplinary matrix, and one was dgo 3.09. disciplinary matrix was back to commissioner elias on the 18th. >> just keep in mind if we set a deadline and we don't meet it, it's gone because we've got to get information out to the public. okay. commissioner dejesus? >> all right. >> commissioner dejesus: so the community leaders from jamestown community center have formed a group call

this "alternative arrangements working group", which sounds like something from a factory in the 1960siteer is steve baker, marcus fish, tojoin the remain as damian green and nicky morgan, what alternative arrangements will bake come up with? this is a fantastic idea of ui theresa may because it allows you to pretend to bring both sides of the debate together, those who would like a soft brexit, hard brexit, levers and remain as. it is a displacement activity, it wastes time over the next week before she goes back to parliament on the 13th and then a possible vote on valentine's day. alternative arrangements, there is not a single alternative arrangement that has not been studied in great detail by the uk and eu officials over the last two years amid all the negotiations. it is very hard to see how this can make progress. we are hearing time and again, not just make progress. we are hearing time and again, notjust from irish politicians, as the irish times says, but also from politicians also all over the eu to be seven, officials in brussels, that theresa may's deal is the deal, they
