Chairman i like to note the agenda erroneously under vacancy number 12 supervisor that should be president of the board i was wondering if we had a 12 supervisor here. Thank you for being so patient here with us today during our long the rules committee meeting. We have two seeds two applicants is our clerk statement with beverly and i apologize if i mispronounce the last name pelican and if you want, and make your presentations. There will wait for the room to quiet down as well. Thank you, you may proceed a good afternoon, supervisors, on thatand i am the executive director for c5 children school. We located into facilities in this neighborhood right across mcallister street. In the state building. At the sf puc building. I feel very privileged to have for our program to be selected to be the operator of the sf puc because it is a very forward thinking and operating organization and it is been a real pleasure to have been there for four years. I could go before the Commission One of their Commission Meetings back in april 2012 when we were being approved for being selected to be the operator. So, was very informative and kind of interesting to me to see Office Activities of appointing the commissioners and the detailed information of course i did not have at that time. We serve about 150 children from infants off to kindergarten age. We are a nonprofit with the board of directors. Our organization was established about 31 years ago in the California State Building for Public Utilities commission by a group of employees who were parents there. That center operated for a number of years and then when we took over the building for the sf puc because that center. So we still continue to have two centers. I believe that my diverse background in educational management, my rich life experiences, the insights ive gained qualify me for being on the Planning Commission. Well, see back not quite as doesnt have it is important commission or advisory committee. I have attended those meetings for a number of years very faithfully and know and appreciate having a lot of colleagues that i work with to be a place where i think a lot of very positive and very good work is being done in San Francisco and my desire is to participate in a little more official manner. My overarching goal would be to work on creating an even more outstanding system of early care and education that serves all children and families in San Francisco. We are on the right path. We have a good system. Its just this a lot more to do. In order to be able to serve all children in San Francisco. I believe that my experience in government and in Public Education particularly including programs like head start provide me some insight and also we are program right now is recognized as an example or a program with conference of learning and development for children and i have a real passion for this. So, my hope is to in some smaller ways is to continue to need more families needs in the city of San Francisco to expand the number of businesses, business kinds of contacts and engagement with business in relation to early parent education. To develop new and diverse sources of funding, to address the need that is there for middle income families for care. I get calls every day for children, families wanted to the children in and just because of the high cost of doing business is not just in San Francisco but its everywhere for early care, and theyre being very little support. I mean there are supports and were very appreciative of that but to give you an example, we can provide about 10 of our population the some sort of scholarship. Thats about 15 children a year. And were talking about a difference per month in what any kind of subsidy of what parents can pay and our tuition is somewhere between 67, 800 depending on the age of the child. So, there still many people in San Francisco who dont have access to quality early care and education. I want to work on issues to improve the pay for people in early childhood. We work really hard. We go to school we get degrees and yet, that supports and being seen as a group of professionals is still lacking within our society. Were all very knowledgeable about that but one of the things we are working on in San Francisco is getting paid to be equitable to say Public School teachers are comparable to that. So that is important. I also just want to continue the collaboration that ive had, the opportunity to enjoy not in an official capacity with all my colleagues on seatac c pack so you appointed to that commission, i hope to bring innovation. I really want to work with businesses. I think that now is the time for us to grab hold of all the wonderful opportunities of the developments and the changes that are going on in San Francisco and applied that to how we can better serve families in terms of early care and education. Weve got to have it there within your talking today. Weve listened to all of the kinds of jobs that people do. People all parents, all people need to go to work everyday so they can contribute to the economy and that is what we are in the business for improving that situation. So, thank you thank you very much for your thorough presentation. We have any questions or comments from committee . Supervisor cohen tmax i did have a few questions but your presentation answered all of them. Thats probably one of the benefits of sitting in front of hours of other testimony but im excited. To see what you do. On the child Care Planning advisory council. They could. Supervisor mar i do want to say i think you have a great addition to see that. Could you talk briefly Young Children with special needs and disabilities because i know you had that experience as a mom also teaching and i like that you been a teacher at the high school level, administrator in a number of districts but specifically for cpack do we do enough to identify special needs early on and as a system. From birthfive even k12 system to we do enough and what can we doing in cback to me that those kids and families . I think we do a good job good i dont is ever enough. I think we always can improve. I think San Francisco has a good system for identifying in my experience of being at cfive weve had children who have acquired special interventions and ive been impressed and even more impressed over the last few years because the services, both with some of the Early Intervention now with the School District had been very good. So, speaking from a parental point of view, many years ago, children with disabilities were not entitled to attend school. So i think weve made tremendous progress in that area. I think we always have to keep looking at it because things change and if we can always keep changing with thatand to make sure that we are looking at children with special needs and i really love the terminology that is used in some of the schools in italy and is children with special rights. So that children all children have special rights but those children and particularly their parents who are under a lot of giraffes and coping with the situation. Thank you thank you very much. So at this time we will move on to grant dobson could good afternoon supervisor. Was it good evening . Im not sure. Im grant dobson and am currently working at the San Francisco office of care and education. I looked i oversee the Public Policy and legislation aspect of the work that. Also do a lot of work around the facilities in child care and Early Education facilities and that the city. Look at the Development Impact fees and use of those increasing access in building new programs and new sites around the city with Public Housing working with many departments, working with various other departments in the city. Around expanding childcare and Early Education opportunities throughout the city. Ive been involved with cpack for 10 years because prior to the best job i was the c have impact coordinator. Full circle for me to those on the other side of the fence supporting the work that c has impacted as a sappers in and out i would be seeing it from the other side good im kind of excited to have the opportunity to be a member of cpack a Senior Member of feedback and be able to vote and contribute in that way. To the work that cpack does. Before i joined the city 10 years ago i worked at the Tenderloin Childcare Center which is no Compass Children Center in the tenderloin. Work there for 13 years. Of the teacher in the classroom and i was a director or administrator and i bring that perspective to the work i carried on to the city as a provider as an educator myself. So, i feel like i straddled those two roles during my career. Currently, the office of the ece is charged with implementing the citywide plan early care and education after proposition c was passed in 2014. We are charged with a looking at the Lincoln Education for 05yearolds with all the city funding thats available. We are very lucky in San Francisco we have tremendous local investment in ece. So, i think what i bring is a Public Agency representative on cpack am able to work with the committee base members that providers for parents listening to the other voices a part of c have contact and shared mission and goals throughout the city both from the Public Agency side and the Community Side around what is best for the children families in San Francisco run early care and education. Im looking forward to actually getting to vote at the c seatac meetings instead of breaking in the next all right. Supervisor mar the max i want to thank them for 30 years of really supporting young people in the tenderloin the expertise you developed and your work to educate on the board and so many others. Child activity, the coronation of different departments doing similar work in the better functioning and efficiencies in creating out with the office of ece and i think you know on the side of the fence is a c have impact commissioner is addition good addition as well. Things are much continuity, and so much Historical Context of lips on glad youre joining thank you for your presentation. Now at this time we can open up this item to Public Comment. This is item 9. First i will call up ms. Lopez from supervisor kims office and anyone else who wants to speak on these appointments please come on up. Good afternoon. I will be brief. I think beverly altercation speak for themselves. I obviously the things that attracted us to this applicant are the issues of Economic Justice and her focus on page. As we know childcare providers are some of the most wage workers have important task of raising our children at Development Milestones of the like. I think we need to pay our workers without october. That said, i also want to say that her background in special education is also of interest to us. Especially given the disproportionate number of students that disabilities in our district as well. So for us its important to have that perspective on c has impacted him a supplement specialneeds parent so i think that the needs of advocates to help navigate through the system is so important because its a difficult one even with advocates. So being as you get from supervisor kim being an office full of mothers, we want to folks were able to represent these types of issues. So, thank you thank you. Any other memos of the public wish to comment on this item . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. [gavel] Committee Members, i like to make a motion that first i think we need to take up the issue for residency waiver for beverly in seat number six all right i like to make a motion that we move with positive recommendation beverly[sp . ] beverly malaysian to seat six and also appoint mr.

Thank you for your time this. My name is the on the beauty good im here what i wanted Community Housing partnership. Im assistant supervisor that. We operate a Community Organizing program that has a lot of great work in our community including our campaign [inaudible] for starting this task force. I tried to sit on the task force because i really dont support the fact that current policies really disproportionally affect our homeless and lowincome neighbors by extension, really disproportionally affect people of color are neighbors of color and i like to be a part helping to make practical Equitable Solutions to current problems in regards to municipal violations qualityoflife violations. I think might experience that Community HousingPartnership Working closely with the folks most impacted by current policy would offers me a valuable perspective to the task force. I think my role in Workforce Development is closely connected try to help people get jobs get back to work get their lives back together in the face of barriers like tickets and being collections, having your license revoked things that make it hard to get on top of those barriers. I think that my experience professionally my outlook experience as a person pretty moderate means, my compassion and genuine interest in raising the welfare of my community would allow me to offer relief bible perspective to the task force. I really appreciate your consideration. Thank you very much. Supervisor mar , thank you and the dead Free Sf Coalition for bringing this forward with supervisor avalos and others but thank you. I think the organizers from chc be on this body so important so thank you for stepping up to be honest body. Thank you for your presentation. So see no other questions or comments we want to our next applicant. Good afternoon supervisors. My name is scott nelson. I volunteer with the coalition on homelessness. Im interested in this Board Appointment because i have a lot of experience working with the coalition assisting people with it in a program called [inaudible] revival income persons, and a seeker assistance in getting their tickets dismissed were ameliorated through the assistance of attorneys. We been doing this program for a long time. Its really been changed a bit can you step attorneys assisting and out basically its just i guess it would cause waitpersons. So, we really see the people coming in and with these issues are and what theyre facing. Trends that are happening including muni tickets which are to address nowadays because of the change in the prosecution of them with the fare inspectors. Ive also been working on that debtfree San Francisco coalition so to speak representing the coalition of homelessness. Weve also looked into this along with lawyers on civil rights and i think also living as a low income person, i can offer a perspective from not only being the low income but of writing services for some of these other low income and homeless persons. So i ask you support my appointment to the task force. Thank you thank you very much for your presentation. Seeing oh questions or comments will move on for next applicant. Good afternoon supervisors minus christina i tuned a massive. As elisa dela pea on his proxy. Jenna family emergency so she apologizes for not being able to make it. Alisa has some of the most expertise i know on fines and fees issue. I work with the lease at Lawyers Committee. She currently serves as Lawyers Committee legal director but prior to that she ashley started her legal career there. In 2004 and was working as a homeless rights project attorney and she has had the most experience representing homeless persons in Traffic Court on fines and fees, issues municipal fines and fees, citations, etc. She knows the ins and outs of the San FranciscoTraffic Court system. She knows all the clerks at each window. She has also spearheaded so much of the statewide advocacy, most recent one is sb 1881 on the governors desk right now, which would actually require courts to process amnesty Traffic Court amnesty applications within 90 days. She has also doneshe served on various coalitions. Shes able to work very closely with community members. She was a very close relationship with the coalition on homelessness. We always turn to her for any expertise on any fines and fees issues you can think of. She is the expert on it. Two and, with her she was a coauthor on two policy reports that brought to light this issue. The first one being, not just the ferguson problem how traffic was driving inequality in california and the second one, was called stop fine and arrested. How racial bias in policing and Traffic Courts in california, the first report really brought to light how much one traffic ticket can add up quickly to somewhere around 800 and how much it impacts low income people. The second report really brought to light the racial lens of the issue and how much i think we got rich data from the dmv and got some and combine that with us census data and it showed how much drivers license suspensions impact low income people of color and that brought home to light this issue. So i actually have three copies of each report for all of you. I can justso, i would really encourage you to appoint lisa to the task force thank you for appearing on her behalf. Supervisor mar i want to thank you for supporting elisa dela pea on up and having represented the visitation work committees is a critical but i want to say that the involvement with coalition is really important. Its very rare when there are attorneys to work with activists like mr. Nelson and others in the coalition and that really stepped that but also step forward broadbased coalitions andvictim was George Jacksons attorney and came out of a lot of movements but i think his approach of peoples loitering is important ethical Lawyers Committee for civil rights a number of the attorneys believe represent that as well. I think that debtFree Sf Coalition to the california on the Road Coalition i believe is a great example. Brothers being involved is so critical to but im very proud of this body will be creating legislation for the future. So its an ongoing effort thats building power in low income communities and will utilize government to make lives better for so many people whether theyre behind bars, coming out, were on the streets and dont have homes or shelters as well. But thank you for supporting the various people here but especially peoples lawyers like ms. Dela pea on a as well. Thank you very much. At this time we will move on to our next applicant. My name is nicholasim appearing on behalf of canada and make it up her proxy today. Worked with kendra for many years now a couple years now on different issues. However, am spoken here many times about the task force and she is she wants to serve definitely to develop Better Solutions and procedures because for people who low Income Community especially web in trying to resolve their outstanding fines and fees. She has been working an advocate of behalf of low income san franciscans since 20 way. She did have experience in working with gap which is the general assistance advocacy project. When their commission represented clients with quality by citations in muni citations in superior court and while there she also help self help material for the general public to use. That was in order for typical layperson to be able to appeal their to help them go through the appeals process through sf mta and Issue Citations issued for fair violations. She does have a good knowledge like some of our past speakers have insane, about the many things that affect certain groups and our city namely low income people and people of color. So, she has been working throughout she does work now in bay area legal aid. She was working at gap was also on the Shelter Monitoring Committee appointed by this committee. She does have many goals that she developed throughout her knowledge and her interactions with the system that ships to congress while on the task force. Definitely within collaboration with the members of the task force and community. She does want to help to improve the appeals process the payment plan service and the Committee Options for people that receive citations and people that cannot afford them. She also like to change the practice of citing Homeless People for simply being homeless and sleeping outside. Finally a major goal she would like to achieve is reviewing the current policies developing new ones like we were saying before likely heard, this would be to address the Many Disparate racial impacts certain groups impacted by these fines and fees. Namely, one of the things drivers licenses [inaudible] so, im speaking as myself, i would encourage you to appoint her. Shes very good. I served under shes a very good sort of the committee. Thank you. Are you planning to also i am not. [inaudible] just appoint them all to very good thank you thats very kind of you. So, Committee Members any questions or comments . I would just say that theres a huge difference between people who receive fines and so forth and penalties to have the means and who decide not to pay vendors a huge difference between those who really have other challenges that they face in life. Some interested in seeing how the task force is going to come up with solutions to address that. Because its an opportunity for us to help better help those who again these challenges and need further assistance from us. So, supervisor cohen question or comment . I had a comments. I want to agree with the spinning you just make it i have for my constituents from time to time about an inability to pay fines discrepancy in fines. Contesting fines.
