Of data. I would encourage the city to step forward and find a way to compromise to get data to help us drive this process. In closing, i want to thank the board, i want to thank you in particular supervisor march as our members uniformly said you are the loudest and steady person we have in elected office. I want to thank you for all the work you have done and your colleagues and done an ed wong and special thanks to Carla Johnson for her leadership on this and i want to thank all of my colleagues on the Advisory Committee. Too many to mention today because i will inevitably forget one. I want to thank all of them for their tireless work. Many of them live day in and day out. I will go back to my job and that will have nothing to do with this. But these people have dedicated their lives to empowering people with disabilities. Thats really what our members believe. We believe in empowerment through employment and thats what we believe the city and board of supervisors will continue wit
Their Commission Also again with a stipend. Some outside contractors, the para transit coordinating council, they meet every other month or six weeks. 6 weeks. People are disabled and use the para transit and again, a stipend position. Some of us have to cobble together various pieces in order to try to survive in San Francisco. It gets harder and harder for us to survive. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker. Public speaker hi, i really appreciate your efforts supervisor mar in pushing this forward. I think last time you had a hearing we had folks that were partnering with ucsf with and relate that to the need for a point person. We were able to place a point person there, one of our employees at uc sf and we had Great Success with placements there for folks with developmental and intellectual disabilities. They are now making more than their job coaches are because they are at uc sf. We are happy to see that but the hires with large employees with multiple departments that dont necessa

26,000 a year and nobody can live on that in San Francisco. We cant truly lead independent lives until we have economic independence and meaningful jobs. I want to thank you, supervisor mar for scheduling this hearing today and also for starting this conversation about employing people with disabilities. And like you, i also want to thank jonathan lions for the legwork that he put into this effort to bring this issue to all of our attention. It was also exactly 1 year ago that you held this hearing. In your june 2014 hearing was a catalyst to reignite the conversation with the department of Human Resources. The department of Human Resources donna and ed and mickey and linda, they really deserve a lot of credit for all of the work that they have put into organizing this advisory committee. If you were to go through the reams of paper and email they have distributed they have been the glue that he would this together. I really want to thank them for that. I wanted to talk a little bit ab

In my experience, its a fairly rare skill set and not everyone can do it well. There are some members in your Advisory Committee who knows that very well and hopefully they are focused on the what competencity is for that purpose. Part of our role is to gather best practices from around the state and the country. If anything we can
