[gavel]. Chair ronen mr. Clerk, can you please item 2. Item 2 is appointing one person, term ending june 30, 2022, to the aging and adult advisory counsel. Chair ronen and is janet petty here . Thank you. Im honored to be here to be considered to be on the aging and adult advisory committee. I earned my doctorate degree in organizational learning at the university of San Francisco where ive been a professor for 20 years. Human services have been the cornerstone of much of my work. Ive worked with organizations like glide, city college of San Francisco, united way the bay area, and the red cross, where ive been tasked with providing services to the adult and aging population. [inaudible] and many of them, as you know, are seniors. I interacted with many, and i manage a team of 12 who raised the money to support the programs, and it was at that point that i became seriously committed to working with seniors in San Francisco. My i was the foreperson of the San Francisco civil grand jury in 2015, and it was during that time that year that i learned about advocate programs for independent aging populations in the city, and i now look forward to reengaging in these efforts to ensure Quality Services and attention to our growing aging population. We all know that we currently face a Public Health crisis challenge due to the spread of covid19. Its been noted that the elderly are at particular risk, heightened by the growing number of cases in california, attributed to community spread, and if a member of the commission on aging advisory council, i will support the work of the commission to provide services to the aging population of San Francisco through this crisis and beyond. So thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve. Chair ronen thank you for your willingness to serve. Any questions . No . No. Thank you so much. Thank you.

I recommend that we make a motion to accept janet petty nominated to the aging and advisory council. Chair ronen thank you. We can take that without objection. Thank you so much. [gavel]. Chair ronen mr. Clerk, can you please read item three. [agenda item read]. Chair ronen thank you. Hi. I am ian fregosi, legislative aide to supervisor fewer, which she apologizes she cannot be here today. The purpose of the Reentry Council is to coordinate local efforts to support adults exiting San Francisco county jail, San Francisco juvenile Justice System out of home placements, the California Department of corrections and rehabilitation facilities, and the United States federal bureau of prison facilities. So currently excuse me. So there are Seven Members of the Reentry Council who are formerly incarcerated persons, but none of them are allowed to serve as an officer of the council who can chair the meetings. Currently, all of the officers who are responsible for chairing the reentry meetings are criminal Justice Department heads and members of the Mayors Office. So this would allow one of the formerly incarcerated members to chair the meeting. Jose bernal, a formerly incarcerated member, and the other six members, proposed that one of the members be allowed to chair the meetings, and it was supported by the other members. The council decided since they were seeking an amendment to the officer clause, that they should also focus on cleaning up the other language in the ordinance. This is in line with supervisor fewers resolution to adopt personfirst language, which was adopted unanimously by the board of supervisors this year. So if its okay with you, chair ronen, im going to turn it over to joffrey, who can speak a little more about this ordinance and can answer your questions. So thank you for your time, and we hope to have your support. Chair ronen thank you so much. Hello, supervisors. I also wanted to give you one more clause that was added is, like, a conflict of interest clause. So one of the beautiful things is that our seven formerly incarcerated individuals got a job with a Law Enforcement agency, and so it appears to be, like, two votes because she now works for a Law Enforcement agency, and one of those clauses is if you are hired by any of the city departments that sit on the board, within 90 days, were the according to the update, were asking you to resign. But that 90 days gives the person a chance to resign. We dont want to discourage people from taking city employment while theyre on the council. Ian did not speak to that, but i wanted to know that. Because she works for adult probation, and it look like adult probation may have two votes. Shes a very hard advocate. She doesnt care who she works for, but we dont want a conflict of interest. While we opening it up, we might as well clean it up. So that is the reason for that. So if you have any other questions . Supervisor stefani i just have one quick one. In terms of the conflict of interest, can you just expand on that a little bit more . Like, what would be the conflict of interest if someone was taking their experience being formerly incarcerated and now working for the city in any capacity . I understand that its adult probation, but i just dont understand where the conflict is . Like, where is the division that would arise . So you can work for the city, just not one of the departments that sits on the council, so if one is a member who came if she got a job at the library, it wouldnt be a conflict. But when they vote, our vote, especially when in april, when we look at criminal Justice Reform bills, it could look like adult probation, they could vote in line with Law Enforcement. Members were questioning that. Supervisor stefani okay. So like any board, the port, the p. U. C. Is not on our board. Its 13 boards, like criminal justice, department of health, all that stuff. People want it to be nonbiased. Supervisor stefani okay. Thank you. Chair ronen thank you. Is there any other member of the public who wishes to speak on this item . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. I think this makes a lot of sense and would love to be added as a cosponsor, and with that, i will make a motion to send this item forward with a positive recommendation, and without objection, that motion passes unanimously. [gavel]. Chair ronen thank you. Mr. Clerk, can you please read item 4. Clerk item 4 is an ordinance amending the police code to make an existing exemption to the paid parental leave ordinance to employers with fully paid family leave policies consistent with recent changes to state law. Chair ronen thank you so much. Supervisor stefani, do you want to make any opening remarks . Supervisor stefani yes, thank you. Colleagues, before you is a small technical change to our citys paid family leave program. In 2016, San Francisco became the first city in the country to ensure that employees receive 100 of their salary when they took paid parental leave. So San Franciscos Program Works like this. Under california law, in 2016, workers could take up to six weeks of partial paid parental leave. In San Francisco, employers are then required to pay the difference of these employees salaries so they are making 100 of their salary up to a certain limit. And last year, i think we all know that Governor Newsom extended the partial paid leave by two weeks to extend to eight weeks of partial paid program. Our citys current policy has an exemption for employers that provide more generous leave than required by city law. If an employer zoo giving fully paid leave to an employee for a number of weeks equal to or more than what is required by San Franciscos current law, they are exempted from the law because they are doing more than we require. When the time was extended from six weeks to eight weeks, a loophole was offered. The change in front of you would strike the word six weeks and replace with as required by the city and the state of california. This item was heard by the Small Business commission on january 27. The Commission Voted unanimously to recommend that the board of supervisors approve the legislation, and as a mother and, i know, supervisor ronen feels this way, too, this is a very important issue. I had the benefit of strong paid leave laws when i had my daughter, and it made all the difference. All of our workers deserve this leave, when it is particularly hard for lowincome paid workers to get by. I ask you to close this loophole and make sure that all San Francisco workers have full leave. Thank you. Chair ronen thank you. Any questions . Did you want to make any statements mr. Mulligan . Okay. Thank you. That was very clear and thorough. Thank you so much. I really want to thank you for this legislation. I it it feels, as a new mother, almost impossible to take your child to child care before theyre a couple months old, so even that is too short of a time, so i appreciate the governor expanding that period of time, and this legislation makes all the sense in the world to me, and id like to cosponsor it, as well. And do you want to do the honors . Sure. Chair ronen and thank you for cosponsoring. Supervisor stefani id like to move this forward to the full board with a positive recommendation. Chair ronen and that item passes unanimously. [gavel]. Chair ronen mr. Clerk, are there any other items on the agenda . Clerk that completes the agenda for today. Chair ronen thank you very much. The meeting is adjourned. [musi] San Francisco city clinic provides a broad range of Sexual Health services from Stephanie Tran medical director at San Francisco city clinic.

Sometimes known as plan b. Pap smears and [inaudible]. We are was entirely [inaudible]people will come as soon as were open even a little before opening. Weight buries a lip it could be the first person here at your in and out within a few minutes. There are some days we do have a pretty considerable weight. In general, people can just walk right in and register with her front desk seen that day. My name is yvonne piper on the Nurse Practitioner here at sf city clinic. He was the first time i came to city clinic was a little intimidated. The first time i got treated for [inaudible]. I walked up to the redline and was greeted with a warm welcome im chad redden and anna client of city clinic even has had an std clinic since all the way back to 1911. At that time, the clinic was founded to provide std diagnosis treatment for sex workers. Theres been a big increase in std rates after the earthquake and the fire a lot of people were homeless and there were more sex work and were homeless sex workers. There were some Public Health experts who are pretty progressive for their time thought that by providing std diagnosis and treatmentsex workers that we might be able to get a handle on std rates in San Francisco. When youre at the clinic youre going to wait with whoever else is able to register at the front desk first. After you register your seat in the waiting room and wait to be seen. After you are called you come to the back and meet with a Healthcare Provider can we determine what kind of testing to do, what samples to collect what medication somebody might need. Plus prophylactics is an hiv prevention method highly effective it involves folks taking a daily pill to prevent hiv. Recommended both by the cdc, center for Disease Control and prevention, as well as fight sf dph, two individuals clients were elevated risk for hiv. I actually was in the project here when i first started here it was in trials. Im currently on prep. I do prep through city clinic. You know i get my tests read here regularly and i highly recommend prep a lot of patients inclined to think that theres no way they could afford to pay for prep. We really encourage people to come in and talk to one of our prep navigators. We find that we can help almost everyone find a way to access prep so its affordable for them. If you times we do have opponents would be on thursday morning. We have two different clinics going on at that time. When is womens Health Services. People can make an appointment either by calling them a dropping in or emailing us for that. We also have an hiv care clinic that happens on that morning as well also by appointment only. He was city clinic has been like home to me. I been coming here since 2011. My name iskim troy, client of city clinic. When i first learned i was hiv positive i do not know what it was. I felt my life would be just ending there but all the support they gave me and all the information i need to know was very helpful. So i [inaudible] hiv care with their health about a quarter of our patients are women. The rest, 75 are men and about half of the men who come here are gay men or other men who have sex with men. A small percent about 1 of our clients, identify as transgender. We ask at the front for 25 fee for services but we dont turn anyone away for funds. We also work with outside its going out so any amount people can pay we will be happy to accept. I get casted for a pap smear and i also informed the contraceptive method. Accessibility to the clinic was very easy. You can just walk in and talk to a registration staff. I feel im taken care of and im been supportive. All the information were collecting here is kept confidential. So this means we cant release your information without your explicit permission get a lot of folks are concerned especially come to a Sexual Health clinic unless you have signed a document that told us exactly who can receive your information, we can give it to anybody outside of our clinic. Trance men and women face really significant levels of discrimination and stigma in their daily lives. And in healthcare. Hiv and std rates in San Francisco are particularly and strikingly high were trans women. So we really try to make city clinic a place that strandsfriendly trance competent and transwelcoming everyone from the front desk to behind our amazement there are completely knowledgeable. They are friendly good for me being a sex worker, ive gone through a lot of difficult different different medical practice and sometimes they werent competent and were not friendly good they kind of made me feel like they slapped me on the hands but living the sex life that i do. I have been coming here for seven years. When i come here i know they my services are going to be met. To be confidential but i dont have to worry about anyone looking at me or making me feel less a visit with a clinician come take anywhere from 10 minutes if you have a straightforward concern, to over an hour if something goes on that needs a little bit more help. We have some testing with you on site. So all of our samples we collect here. Including blood draws. We sent to the lab from here so people will need to go elsewhere to get their specimens collect. Then we have a few test we do run on site. So those would be pregnancy test, hiv rapid test, and hepatitis b rapid test. People get those results the same day of their visit. I think its important for transgender, gender neutral people to understand this is the most confidence, the most comfortable and the most knowledgeable place that you can come to. Onsite we have condoms as well as depoprovera which is also known as [inaudible] shot. We can prescribe other forms of contraception. Pills, a patch and rain. We provide pap smears to women who are uninsured in San Francisco residents or, to women who are enrolled in a statefunded program called family pack. Pap smears are the recommendationrecommended Screening Test for monitoring for early signs of cervical cancer. We do have a fair amount of our own stuff the day of his we can try to get answers for folks while they are here. Whenever we have that as an option we like to do that obviously to get some diagnosed and treated on the same day as we can. In terms of how many people were able to see in a day, we say roughly 100 people. If people are very brief and straightforward visits, we can sternly see 100, maybe a little more. We might be understaffed that they would have a little complicated visits we might not see as many folks. So if we reach our target number of 100 patients early in the day we may close our doors early for droppings. To my best advice to be senior is get here early. We do have a website but its sf city clinic. Working theres a wealth of information on the website but our hours and our location. As well as a kind of kind of information about stds, hiv,theres a lot of information for providers on our list as well. Patients are always welcome to call the clinic for theres a lot of information for providers on our list as well. Patients are always welcome to call the clinic for 15, 40 75500.
