[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. Chair ronen any member of the public wish to speak on this item . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. [gavel]. Supervisor mar yeah, id be happy to. 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. Watching. Ever wonder about programs the city is working on to make San Francisco the best place to live and work we bring shine won our City Department and the people making them happy what happened next sf oh, San Francisco known for its looks at and history and beauty this place arts has it all but its City Government is pretty unique in fact, San FranciscoCity Departments are filled with truly Initiative Programming that turns this way our goal is to create programs that are easily digestable and easy to follow so that our resident can participate in healing the planet with the new take dial initiative theyre getting close to zero waste we 2020 and today San Francisco is diverting land filled and while those numbers are imperfect not enough.
