Im asking the board to give me more than two minutes. One, that wealth and disparities in the black community, we have packets for you that will show you a lot of the information that chief scott brought to you, we have taken the time to put materials together. We have been to the county attorneys office, and lately, officer scott has invited us to the table to work with them. Lisa, how do you want us to give you the packets . Clerk you can leave them right there. Okay. Thank you, lisa. One of the things for me is that even though the San FranciscoPolice Department is working tirelessly on the recommendation, there is a lot of discrepancies, and one is that the use of force of black people is still up. Black people use of force within the San FranciscoPolice Department is ten times that of whites, five times that of hispanics. When you look at the arrest records, its the same exact thing. Some of the recommendations within the report now, hillard and hines is a contracted agency, that the external review of the recommendations goes to hillard and hines. Actually, its only been 29 substanti substantiated that the d. O. J. Has approved in their april report. 71 of these recommendations, which is 26 , is still at hillard and hines. President yee thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. [inaudible] president yee maam, were trying to give everybody equal time. [inaudible] president yee thank you, maam. [inaudible] president yee thank you, maam. [inaudible] president yee maam, i need to ask you to stop. Okay. Ive already given you time. Deputy, could you ask her to leave. [inaudible] president yee excuse me. Youre out of order. [inaudible] president yee okay. Id like to use the overhead, please, and id like to echo the sentiments just said by this gentleman and Felicia Jones. Clerk excuse me, maam, im starting your time. Wealth and disparities, justice for mario woods. She said we meet with supervisors, many of you in this chambers, as well as sfpd, and i have to say that the chief himself is more critical of the department than hillard and hines. You have the duty to oversee this process. I want to show these data these are in your packet. This is the data that sfpd itself produces, and this is where you can say that theres no improvement see that theres no improvement in Racial Disparity and use of force. This is up to the most recent quarter. If you look to the long black line there, thats black people. The little line, thats white people, and you see the arrests and the use of rforce. We want to demand its been more than two years on use of force on reporting of this issue, and we want to demand to look at this. We want to insist on per capita reporting by race such as you see in the packet. Thank you. President yee thank you. Next speaker. Good afternoon. Magic altman with the Justice Committee of the d. S. A. So first of all, its very telling that commissioner hirsch couldnt be here, the entire commission should be here. I was glad to see cindy elias here. Appreciate that. So also, its, you know, so interesting that the chief chose one example of an actual incident, and it was a black woman. Wow. I would call that implicit bias, that that was the one story he chose. Also, there were no statistics about women at all in the whole report, even though they are the least to commit crimes. Also, i really agree with what supervisor haney said, that it is absurd anybody with common sense can see that if you are working for the department that is getting investigated and the department that is investigating, that is not independent. I mean, its common sense. And also, this is a company that is trying to make money, and i just heard the praise for the Police Department throughout her report because she wanted to get hired for the next job with Police Department. Obviously. Okay. So also, where is the California Department of justice . They should be here, not this private company thats making money to work both sides of the story. So one of the things that really bothers me is the endless tickets for the unhoused and the mentally challenged. And its not a crime for you to be ill or unhoused. In oregon, we have the cahoots program, that 20 cities are now observing to create a force that is called first before the police in all of these incidents. Ive called the police for years. They dont want to do this job, either. Its not what theyre trained for, and we need to have a special division that goes out and stop giving them tickets. They cant get the notifications, they have no mail, and then they get warrants, and they get in jail, and get out, and its an endless cycle. President yee thank you. Next speaker. Im karen fleshman. I would like to thank Felicia Jones and the black Justice Coalition and justice for mario woods for forcing this hearing and keeping this fight alive. I was here in 2016 when judge cordell implored you to ensure that the reports did not collect dust on the shelf, and she recalled 80 years to fix sfpd that have resulted in nothing. I serve on the bias work group, and since Hillard Hines took on this role, weve been instructed that we have no input into the recommendations. Were just there to listen. Theres no local oversight. Why is someone coming from chicago . Id like to point out debra kirbys background. She spent 20 years in the chicago Police Department, retiring as chief of training. Shortly after her retirement, Laquan Mcdonald was killed by chicago p. D. , and the u. S. Department came in finding every five days a Chicago Police officer fired a gun at someone, and 435 shootings over a sixyear span. And that and perhaps the most damning sweeping critique of the chicago Police Department, they concluded that the citys Police Officers are poorly trained and quick to turn to deadly and unreasonable force, particularly black and latino, without consequences. Its a 164page report. So why is she here providing oversight on how to fix San Francisco . What experience does she have . President yee thank you. Next speaker. Hi. My name is marty jay. I also am active with black justice disparity and justice for mario woods. Community stakeholders such as wealth and disparity should be given more time equal to the other socalled stakeholders. I would also like to echo that with the Statistical Analysis that we did in our group, we found as was stated before, discrepancies and misleading information being reported by the sfpd on use of force and arrests against african americans. Our analysis, as you will see in your packet, revealed no significant change, and this is per the report from 2016 to 18 im sorry, quarter 9 2019 from the sfpds own admin, 96a statistics. Second thing id like to bring up is transparency regarding Community Work groups, and the Community Input was reiterated again and again in hillard and hines and chief scotts presentations. With all due respect to the work that the Community Groups have done, where is the transparency on who is chosen for these groups and where do they come from, the communities . Bayviewhunters point are stakeholders and even more important than sfpd, the police commission, and d. O. J. Thank you. President yee thank you. Next speaker. Good afternoon. My name is kevin bogus. Im the political director at coleman advocates for children and youth and i want to thank the supervisors for calling this hearing today and bringing more attention to this issue. I dont have confidence in the police to reform themselves to stop disproportionately harming black people. And i dont think its realistic for any of us to have that idea that they can do that. Their job is to police people, not to create equity in the city, so i really want to call on the board to figure out how you can do more to address these issues. How can you get us off your need to always constantly call the police, especially if a black person is involved. We do a lot of work in schools, and we see students in schools getting the Police Called on them for things that are school offenses, that are minor offenses. We need to decrease the amount of contact in our community. We have all this police, but we still dont have any updated involved. As a board of supervisors, we look to you for leadership, and we need you to step up and resolve this issue. We dont have a lot of time. We need it to happen now. Our whole lives, we deal with black people being targeted and harassed by police. Not only in San Francisco by across the whole country. How are we going to transform this system into Something Else so that people dont need to call police when theres someone with a housing crisis or a Mental Health crisis or a job crisis . What are we going to do versus waiting for these reforms that might never happen . [applause] president yee thank you. Next speaker. Good afternoon. Im father richard smith. Im an episcopal priest and ive lived and worked in the mission for many years. There are fewer deaths at the hands of police. Officers are receiving implicit bias training to purge the department of any traces of racism, but as for me, i am still wondering, where are the reforms . And heres an example of why i feel this way. Over the years of my church in the mission, weve been blessed to share our sacred space with a largely latino Faith Community observing their beautiful native traditions. Youve probably seen them perform many times, so beautifully arrayed in their native regalia. They would gather every friday night at their church to perform their ceremonies and celebrate their special feasts. And then one night as they were praying, six officers barged into their midst with guns drawn and swept through the room. Apparently someone from outside the group had stolen a cell phone, and the officers were in pursuit. But the sheer disrespect and insensitivity that they approached these people in prayer left small children in tears, elderly in shock. Think about this. If this had happened on a sunday morning when the largely anglo congregation at my mass were present, do you think this would have happened . I doubt it. It makes me wonder if we have addressed the racial insensitivity that has hounded this department for years. So i ask you, where are the reforms . Thank you. President yee thank you. Next speaker. My name is sandra campbell, and im not sure if this is the right place for me to bring this to, but im at the witnesss end with the muni and their staff on president yee excuse me, maam. Were going to have another opportunity for general Public Comments. This is really specifically addressing the report that was presented earlier. Everybodys talking about that, so you have to wait until general Public Comments. Thank you. Okay. President yee next speaker. Good afternoon, supervisors, chief. Thank you very much for the report today. I commend, thank you, and ask for more of these sessions looking at where we are moving on these reforms. My name is john talbot. I am currently serving on the accountability eswg, and i think it is important to point out at the beginning that the numbers about decrease in officer involved shootings are important. There are people in the room behind me who have lost their children to these shootings in the past, and we want that to happen less, and thats good. However, i do want to point out that the comments that have been made about the amount of input that these working groups can have are somewhat true. There is no way for us to see if our if our recommendations get into the process, but since we eventually see what comes out, we know that they generally dont, and its important because there is no transparency as to why that happened. Weve asked for it, and were told by the officers with whom we work, well, you need to get more involved in the process. Were not being paid for this work. You know, were volunteers, and asking us to apply through the process has not worked very well. The other thing which we need to have from the supervisors specifically is we need to make sure that the funding aligns with the reforms, and that as you put the budgets together, that we make sure that it gets in place what we need to have in order to do this. The i. T. System in the Police Department when this first started was not sufficient. Weve added a whole lot of elements do it. The director has been very good in helping to scope out things. Make sure that they get enough money to move these things forward. Thats also true of [inaudible] thank you. President yee thank you. Next speaker. Hi. My name is josephine. For all of us to hear about this, for a lot of us, this was the first time we had ever heart that the department offus i say had made these recommend department of justice had made these recommendations, so were hoping to see from you a lot more accountability from the Police Department to handle all these measures to also have these spaces brought out into the community. For a lot of us, city hall at 2 00 p. M. Isnt accessible. We would like to see these presentations in our communities at reasonable times for youth and in all communities. Also, we would Like Community policing to learn from the community that the police are a part of and to make sure theyre really fitting into the fabric of our lives. Thank you. President yee thank you. Next speaker. Hello. My name is ben paul, with justice for mario woods, led by Felicia Jones. October 2018 is when the department of justice released their reforms. As of october 2019, how many are completed . 29. Thats about 10 . At this pace, they will complete in 2046. Hillard hines did not say when the end is supposed to happen. If its supposed to happen in may 2020, at this pace, theres no way. Everybodys contract in this ends in 2021, and youre in danger of being asked to extend these contracts and delay justice even more. For black folks who are ten times more likely to be victimized by police use of force, they dont have the luxury of the delay. We ask you, the board of supervisors, to ensure that the sfpd complete these 272 reforms signed off by the d. O. J. Without delay, excuses, or extensions. Thank you. President yee thank you. Next speaker. Hi. My name is francis and im here with justice for mario woods, directed by Felicia Jones. Its disgraceful to see after receiving recommendations three years ago, that they still have to impl willme implement 72 e recommendations. I call on you to step up, take charge, and hold the sfpd accountable to actual reform rather than the 29 checked boxes theyre so proud to have completed with no substantial change. I stand with justice for mario woods, demanding that you as supervisors ensure that the sfpd completes all 272 reforms without any extension or delay. President yee thank you. Next speaker. Good afternoon. My name is fabiana aguera. [inaudible] while he was sitting on the ground, and then killed with seven bullets. And im here to tell you that even though ive seen firsthand by accompanying the families of alex nieta and luis pat, what those crimes do to families and the surrounding communities. When supervisor Hillary Ronen asked me if i would sit down on working groups for the Police Reform, if i would contribute, and i did. And i sat in those meetings. And i chose to be in the Community Policing group. And i sat there every meeting, and i would ask then commander lozar, and i asked him, could you please tell us what is the result of the recommendation youre making . And we never got an answer. Over and over, i asked, what is the recommendation that you are making to the chief, and what is the chief deciding . There was never an answer. I quit that group the day after adolfo regalo was killed by 99 bullets. So i ask you to please change the structure of the Police Reform so you have somebody whos a community ad row cat who is in charge of the reform process to at least ensure the accountability and transparency, which were, by the way, originally, 388 recommendations. Thank you. President yee thank you. Next speaker. Part of this is coming from the attorney generals office, whos a bigot. Im part of a community thats been dont interrupt me, man. Im explaining how black peoples being treated and thats what im here for. Ive got a constitutional right to free speech and im tired of you interrupting me, and gascon done nothing. Ive filed all the paperwork to put a man in jail by the name of steve lloyd, and you dont do nothing to him. By mario woods, and i spoke up for him, he got shot 21 times, and his mother only got 400,000. I demonstrate where a hispanic has gotten shot 20 times, and his mother got 4. 95 million. It aint about you and these rape kits. Im the one that addressed the rape kits. Im the one that got rid of the statute of limitations on rape with my high powered demonstrations. You did nothing about those god damn rape kits, and then, youre not using the codis to run a d. N. A. System to catch the rapist. Youre acting like youre using the codis system, and youre not. Its a nationwide system to catch rapists, and youre not. [inaudible] president yee thank you. Thank you. Next speaker. [inaudible] clerk im going to begin your time. I just wanted to clarify that the item of c. R. A. Reforms was agendaized fully on may 21, 2019. That agendaized item was presented at that meeting, and all of that is Available Online for those who werent able to attend the meeting. The commissioner remains committed to this process and looks forward to adding this to the agenda again for Public Comment and review once the phase two comment report comes out in december. President yee thank you. Next speaker . Good afternoon, board of supervisors. I have a picture here of my mom. Checker 111 this is 1975, way back, she was a meter maid, and she met her quota. She didnt over ticket like some of them do now, and sometimes they over do it, like, they go after ive heard the word locust. I wouldnt say that, but she showed some leniency. Grace murray, checker 111. And also, when she would come home, they would be also tired and exhausted clerk mr. Paulson, im pausing your time. Okay. I said they should keep their quota. Clerk okay. Thank you kindly. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon, board of supervisors. My name is robin jones, and i hate repeating everything everyone has just said. I come here to let you know the reason these recommendations are really important to get done is, like, because i live in district ten, and i probably shook chief scotts hand, like, more than an officer that would patrol that district. Understanding that being stopped for a traffic ticket would possibly lead to the end of my life makes it really fearful to even encounter police, and i dont think we should be in fear of encountering police, so need recommendations need to be pushed through, and the police need to be held accountable for their actions, and hopefully, it can lead to some repair of the harm thats been done in the communities. President yee thank you. Next speaker. Hello. My name is lisa jones. Im here as a white ally, but im really here in solidarity with brothers and sisters of all humanity. I understand the privilege that i have in this society and wanted to actually be for every person no matter what color they are. I came here to speak specifically on bias based on the report. Bias is one of the Top Priorities identified in the Hillard Hines report and theres no measurable progress. My personal experience with that is im a homeowner in the portola district, and within a decade of buying my house, cops pulled up next to me, did you see someone matching this description of a Young African american male . I dont know if someone called something in. Theres too many incidents of barbecue becky, and im wondering what you can do as supervisors to write legislation that if someone calls in some sort of racist kind of 911 call that theres some sort of penalty for doing that. I think that we need that in our city, and i understand that the state of oregon is looking into that, so i hope that you will, too. One last thing that i want to add on behalf of felicia in solidarity and humanity with her, and the the district ten specifically, the Bayview District needs more Community Involvement and meetings. There really arent anywhere the community has a distinct voice on how policing is done in the bayview. Thank you. President yee thank you. Next speaker . Hi there. Im ashley, and im with the league of women voters. I also participate on the bias working group, the detention working group, as well as the harassment working group, so i have a firsthand experience on exactly where we stand on these reforms, and i want to speak to the transparency and accountability issues that have been raised both by supervisor haney as well as many members of this public. And i really ask the board to look into the relationship with Hillard Hines, and the reports theyre producing and how neither the Community Working groups are gaining access to their recommendations or their insight to shaping this process, nor are they publicly available. So its currently outside of my pay grade to request these reports, but you certainly can as the boards. I also appreciate that the National Best practices that Hillard Hines is promoting for this procedure as really just the gold point, but i want to remind the use of force, San FranciscoPolice Department set the best use of practice. So i think its encouraging that we remember in this procedure only relying on the case law lines and the existing National Best practices is just not enough. To depart a little bit from what the Public Comment has been, i really want to raise commendations for chief scott and if you will give me a few seconds to do so, chief scotts recommendations in shaping the best policies are beyond what the National Recommendations are. Bias by policy, thats a recommendation that chief scott placed in the current policy. I think we fail to recognize his leadership. He is the face of the department. He gets blamed for every issue, but we need to support him, and i president yee thank you. Next speaker. In a meeting with the San Francisco department of health today, i discussed the process of mandated reporting for child endangerment by a medical doctor employed by the city of San Francisco. When i met with that m. D. Earlier today, he was not sure or certain where he should report that endangering condition. So after chief scott finished, he gave me cards of people to call. We really finish that, and officer duarte helped out. So im going to pass that information along, and in general Public Comment, i will talk about that condition created by the board of supervisors votes in july. Thank you. President yee thank you. Next speaker. Good afternoon, supervisors. Im not going to waste your time with repeating. We need to have a seat at the table, we need to have a say, and we need to go look at the recommendations of the court to bring the department to the to compliance. We do not need to pay a consulting company. This looks like a p. R. Effort. The first time i heard about this, i was flabbergasted, so i really encourage you to stop this practice and get the residents involved in the process. Thank you. President yee thank you. Any other speaker for item 21 . Seeing none, Public Comment is now closed. [gavel]. President yee i want to thank the public for coming up here and commenting. Ive sat here, and my colleagues are sitting here and listening, and there are some very good remarks, and id like to take it up at some point. So so lets move on, then, to we did 22 already, didnt we . Clerk yes, mr. President. President yee so we are at roll call. Clerk roll call. First member to introduce new business is supervisor walton. Supervisor walton i submit. Clerk thank you. Supervisor yee . President yee hold on. Clerk okay. President yee okay. So id like to introduce a hearing over the past week, there has been a brush fire near lake merced that was contained by our first responders, the San FranciscoFire Department, but was spread out over an acre. This was the state of about 16 Tennis Courts to give you an idea of the size. A few months ago, in my district and part of district eight, there was also a camper who had been living in glen canyon who thought it was okay to burn his trash in the canyon. Because of the vigilant resident who contacted my office and the response of the rec and Park Department as well as the park rangers, the city was able to prevent what could have been a very serious fire. There are thankfully a lot of open grass areas in the city that still exists, but we have to be sure that we are managing these spaces lawfully and comprehensively, which with an eye towards preventing wildfires or man made fires. Most federal scientists believe that california will have warmer than average temperatures this winter and that we are likely to see less than average rain, as well. Given the realities of Climate Change and the havoc that can be wrought by wild fires, both the natural and human made causes. I am calling a hearing on the citys wildfire prevention and Management Plans because some of our open space that is heavily forested are home to brush and to other vegetation is owned or operated by other city departments. Im asking for the p. U. C. , rec and park, public works and the park the San FranciscoFire Department to present and also inviting the procedural trust and u. S. Ucsf to provide us with their prevention and Management Plan so that we as a city have a thorough understanding about where our efforts and resources are being deployed and why as well as any gaps in coverage that we should address for the short and longterm. I want to thank supervisors stefani and mar for their early support with this hearing, and the other item id like to introduce is an in memoriam. And also my wife and my daughter with modern dancing. Its another world all yours, and no one can take away the throe of it. When she established the dance group in 1976, a dance studio on monterey boulevard. She started dance at an early age, taking dance as a therapy to combat a club foot she was born with. She was teaching dance when she was 11 and had her own class by the time she was 16. She started attending university of Berklee School of music in boston, carrying her passion of dance wherever she went. Annemarie expressed her love of dance through performing and producing shows and teaching while also making sure to push for greater diversity of body shapes and skin colors in dance. Annemarie will be missed by the community as a whole that she impacted the lives of many people from different generations. Her love for dance will be irreplaceable in the community. The rest i submit. Clerk thank you, mr. President. Thank you. Supervisor brown . Supervisor brown i would like to close the meeting in memory of richard dean ruckbacher. Richard was born on july 13, 1936. He grew up in lexington, nebraska. He eventually migrated to San Francisco in september 1956 at age 20. After living in a boarding house for several years, he purchased his home on grove street in august 1965. Deeply passionate about historic architecture Robert Pritchard and raphael horcher. His beautiful historic home still stands as a legacy of his lifes work, which we will remember today, and the rest i submit. Clerk thank you, supervisor brown. Supervisor fewer . Supervisor fewer thank you. Colleagues, today im happy to introduce legislation to provide more transparency in the capacity and engage more meaningfully in the budget process. The mayors Budget Office and control office, the but ldget lemgs lay tiff analysts and the stakeholders remind me each year how to make this more accessible for the public. We have been drafting this legislation to improve the budget process throughout the year, and i thank all of them for their collaboration. The citys 12 billion budget is the most important piece of legislation that we pass each year. This budget should be transparent and accessible and as the citys legislative body, the board should have greater capacity to understand departmental budgets as they come before us. The legislation that we are introducing today includes transparency improvements at every phase for departments, mayor, and board of supervisors, and i hope you all join in supporting this effort. The rest i submit. Clerk thank you, supervisor fewer. Supervisor haney . Supervisor haney thank you. Today with my colleagues, im introducing legislation so that we can better track and respond to Overdose Deaths in our city. Colleagues, youve heard me speak at many of our recent board meetings about the crisis and the epidemic of overdoses in our city and across the country. It is the leading cause of death for people under 50. In 2018, San Francisco had 259 overdose related deaths, which is over 20 deaths a month. We are seeing those deaths increase in our city this year. It is now the leading cause of unnatural deaths naturally and in San Francisco, we dont have adequate data around this crisis and how to use it to respond urgently and forcefully. Ive struggled over the last couple of months as my office is focused on how we can better respond as a city and how organizations can respond and get immediate and uptodate data on what is happening. I know many of us get Text Messages when someone is killed tragically by homicide or by a car. We dont have that level of attention or responsiveness when it comes to people who die of overdoses, and i think as a result, we are not doing enough to prevent those from happening in the first place, to understand when there are certain patterns and more people being victims of overdoses, and how we as a city, not just as supervisors, not just as the department of Public Health, but Community Organizations can respond immediately when people are dieing of this epidemic. Our legislation would require monthly reporting by the chief medical examiner who will produce a report stating the number of individuals that the medical examiner determined to have died from causes related to drug overdose. The report will provide the persons race, ethnicity, age, and sex, the drug or drugs that contributed to the persons death, where they died, where they resided and if the person was a San Francisco resident, and if they were homeless. The purpose is not just to have the data but to respond more immediately and urgently to this crisis, to determine any causes or patterns, to prevent these deaths from happening in the first place, to make decisions around our Public Health programs, as well as law enforcement. This is data that we dont have access to right now, and because of it, it is limiting our ability to respond. Its also, i believe, leading to a situation where theres a certain helplessness or hopelessness of these deaths, which is unacceptable. This is increasingly the leading cause of unnatural death in our city. Its going up and up, and we have to have it in order to respond to keep people from dieing of overdoses. I also want to in connection to this, many of you were invited to a naturcan trainingt city hall. Were having a Narcan Training at glide. Anyone from the publg wic who wants to join us, to receive training and narcan that you can use to save lives yourself, and that we can collectively commit to prevent deadly overdoses in our community and address the devastating drug crisis that is an epidemic in our city and especially concentrated in the neighborhoods that i represent in civic center, south of market, and the tenderloin. Second thing that im druzing, adruzing, introducing, that im introducing with my cosponsor, supervisor safai is to get a policy of storage of trash cans and dumpsters what this really revealed and what has come to my attention from my own personal experience and from people within my neighborhood is that very often, theres really no strategy around where trash cans are, around where theyre placed, and in many cases, theyre actually not where theyre most needed. You can walk for blocks and blocks in the tenderloin and downtown and not find a single trash can, and many of the trash cans that you do come across are busted open and effective. So the city is beginning to pilot different types of trash cans. How do we make sure that the different types of trash cans are in the rate places and effect right places and effective. And were going to be inviting recology to this, as well. So i know that this is an issue that is very important to my constituents in an area of the city that experiences a lot of the challenges around dirty and filthy streets and wants to make sure that they have the tools like trash cans which will allow them to keep their neighborhoods clean, but its an issue that will affect our whole city so im looking forward to hearing from d. P. W. As well as recology and others so i can hear how were doing this in an accessible and smart way to keep our neighborhoods clean and healthy. The rest i submit. Clerk thank you, supervisor haney. Supervisor mandelman . Supervisor mandelman thank you, madam clerk. I wanted to alert my colleagues, if you dont know that today, the Meth Task Force released its report and recommendations. This is a task force that ive been cochairing along with grant colfax. It was the mayor formed the task force back in february. We had our first meeting in april, and today, the report came out. I think everyone knows that San Francisco has a meth problem. We see it in our streets, in our hospital emergency rooms, in our jails and all to often on the san franciscans die dying from overdoses. This is not the first time that San Francisco has engaged on the issue of meth and its impacts on our communities. It was nearly 15 years ago that then mayor newsom convened the vee tease first Meth Task Force focused on meth in the queer community. That led to innovations and models of study. This task force and the report we released today is not the beginning, then, of San Franciscos public conversation about meth, and it cannot be the end, but i do believe weve made important contributions to that conversation, and i think that copies were provided to all of your offices. Today, meth is still a queer issue in San Francisco, but as the report documents, its a public Health Crisis that threatens the safety of residents across the city in the areas in which they live. The report contains recommendations which i hope this body continues to return to around conversations about Behavioral Health reform and budgetary priorities, but i do want to highlight three in particular. The first recommendation, which had the strongest support on the task force was to create a trauma informed sobering sight for those yunder the influence of methamphetamine. Second recommendation id like to highlight was strengthen the citys interdisciplinary behavioral crisis response. I think you all know that your constituents, as my constituents do, see folks that are meth intoxicated or in psychosis and they have absolutely what to do or how to summon help that isnt the police. This is also a strongly recommended recommendation from the task force. I am pleased that these two recommendations have found their way into a couple of the Behavioral Health reform proposals that are floating about, and i do think that we as a city need to move forward with both of these as quickly as we can. The a third recommendation that i just that i do want to highlight. It was recommendation number 17, but it was strength and collaboration among city agencies and service providers. I think this is important, and its the work that the mayors director of Mental Health reform is tasked with doing to get folks out of their silos, to get folks working across agencies and nonprofits, to make progress. I think we can do it. Its tough, but weve done it before. That was the San Francisco model of care that was so successful in addressing the hiv crisis in the 80s and has brought us down below now 200 new infections, and i think we need to make a similar effort now, and we can. So i want to manning mayor breed for convening the task force, and my profound thanks to all the Task Force Members who shared they profound wisdom and experience. Secondly, i would like to request that we close this meeting in memory of simon armand montiglion, the mother of a former member of this body who died earlier this month at the age of 95, and the rest i submit. Clerk thank you, supervisor mandelman. Supervisor
