That time when we can send a Clinical Team out, when we can meet with people where they are. Most of this happens after the hours again of bhac, and we need to adjust our services to respond to the needs of these highestrisk, highestneeds people. And i think i should have mentioned the drug sobering center. These are other 24 7 facilities which this Response Team could take people to and get them the help they need. Through the chair, i just think its important to talk about how this team is distinct from the h. O. T. Team and the e. M. S.

As supervisor ronen said, many of us have gotten to the point that we are so regularly encountering people who are meth inebriated or on the verge of psychosis or in psychosis, we walk around and avoid, but we dont imagine there is anything we can do to improve this persons life. I think San Francisco dials 911 on folks in need less than we should, but thats not really going to generate a change in both the expe
We need to look at some places on Treasure Island where we have space, and Different Things will have to be taken into consideration before you can place anything permanently. So i think from my perspective, i think as the next step, we have definitely continue evaluating both indoor and outdoor options, thinking doing a little bit more analysis on the cost implication for longterm maintenance costs, looking at whether any of our documents have space. It sounds like we have flexibility, but just to take it a step further and start thinking around things like siting, funding and resources. Im not sure where we are with our tida budget, but we woumay have to look at 134 creative ways creative at some creative ways to fund it. Commissioner shen. Yes. Thank you, commissioner john bitoff. I know you played a role in making sure the pieces of the fountain were parked up and preserved.

The society will do they honor. I just wanted to take a moment to greet everyone. [applause] a terrific number of programs. Including some definitive conversations how to begin. This is a book about lifetime work. A career based in the strong premise that cities are important. Vital to civilization. Vital to this world. I will let her tell you about the book. I will tell you the first time i met my first week at the appropriation, they had left. Primary for mayor. I never met him although i knew the Agency Working there to graduate school. It happened on a very odd day. We were working on the 46 floor the building. We were the only at the time. A very difficult time. They were reluctant to sign the lease with the state agency because god knows what that might feel like. It was only between paper or obligations.
