Year, and we are well into that. And one of the things that im not going to go through every single action, because that would take all morning, and president serina would not appreciate that. [laughter] its difficult to contain my enthusiasm. Right . But i did want to talk about a few highlights. And so im going to go goal by goal and just kind of highlight one or two things in each goal. So goal one, strategy c if you have your plan in front of you, strategy c is to strengthen San Franciscos caregiver network, including enhanced support for Informal Caregivers and supporting a robust provider workforce. Our action was to strengthen processes to enroll and support ihss independent providers. Previously the Service Center was operating in a small office with really inadequate space and we used to have lines down the street, even in the rain and things like that. So this is really better. And its also better because our Service Center, being able to serve providers as well as clients is
Raising the issue of Adequate Police staffing for several years. In june of 2018, the budget and legislative analysts provided this board with a performance audit of the San Francisco Police Department so we could better understand, number one, how the police are deploying police staff that is funded by the general fund and number two, how uniform staff is allocated to administrative versus patrol duties. The recommendations of that audit was that in light of an increase in property crime in our city, accompanying the public demand for more officers in the street, the sanfrancisco Police Department should civilianize as many administrative positions as possible. This is the best practise recognized by major Law Enforcement, including the International Association of chiefs of police and adopted by most major Law Enforcement departments in the country. But San Franciscos racial of swoossworn officers to civilianf remains higher than the National Average or peers. This is why i ask the C
Support to the rest of ihss and to clients and providers. So thank you so much. [applause] on more of d. A. S. , you are our employee for the month. Thank you. May i say a few words . Of course you may. I have the copy in my hand. I dont want to miss anyone. So first and foremost, thank you to my heavenly father, my family and friends for being here today, a special thank you to the special someone who nominated me, my direct supervisor for endorsing the nomination, our management team, the executive director, of course, and our Deputy Directors, program manager, program director, thank you for your selection.

Include reinstatement of the disproportionately deleted senior classes in particular, although i support a reinstatement of all of them. Its often said these days that sitting is the new smoking, and if so we all have done damage to our health over the past hour and a half. But there is new research that shows that another aspect of modern living is detrimental which is loneliness. Although it doesnt affect seniors only, it does affect them because of a loss of a partner or friend, because of more people being childless. The effect is so great that it is more dangerous to our health than obesity. Loneliness is the same as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. While i dont suggest restoring these classes will cure the issue of loneliness in our city, it is something that should be considered in addition to the benefits of lifelong learning. Speaking personally, when i returned to the sculpture class i had started just a couple of months before my husband died, i found the focus of turning a lump
A live look at the upcoming term continues with remarks from former u. S. Supreme court law clerks. The George Washington law overview and the National Constitution center started about 10 minutes ago. One thing that just struck me was that there was a component to the interview, but the result was a very personal component and what she talked about is that she really cares deeply that the clerks are civil with each other, and are good people and well get along with each other and with clerks for all the other chambers. She will try to screen for that. That was that, and i got a call a week later and i was obviously thrilled to say yes, and it was an amazing year. So, i will turn to rory little. Au really did in a red and real sense clerk for five justices which has to be the modern record. Tell about how you got hired by Justice Stewart, and then how you came to be the serial law clerk. Many bostons we have in the crowd. If you are still looking for a job. Got there through the backdo
