Kim aye. Supervisor mar . Mar aye. Supervisor tang . Tang aye. Supervisor wiener . Wiener aye. There are 11 ayes. This is passed on First Reading. [gavel] next item. Item 11 is an ordinance amending the administrative code to establish the committee on city workforce alignment, to give the Committee Responsibility for planning and coordinating the citys Workforce Development programs, and to make other changes to the procedures governing the planning and implementation of Workforce Development programs. Supervisor chiu . Thank you, madam chair. Colleagues, this is an ordinance that comes out of years of work. You may remember in the last board of supervisors before any of us came here, there was an attempt through initial audit by budget analyst to rehaul Workforce Development program. Unfortunately after a number of years that work is not done and i had last year asked for an audit of our citys workforce agencies to really understand what we are not doing and it turns out that in our
Forward, the [speaker not understood] in the committee were supporting. So, the outcome to bring them back wouldnt make any difference to me and i would not be supporting this amendment because i dont want to put people through something that they dont need to go through. The other thing would be that in regards to several of the nominees, it what just no agreement to put them forward at the time, but the decision to do was not to say that we dont want them. We just needed to have two votes to move some of the others forward. So, thats why we wanted to duplicate the file, is that what it was . So that none of the candidates would be eliminated. So, i will not be supporting the amendment. Supervisor breed. I just want a point of clarification. So, my understanding some of all three of the names you put forward are people who actually served on the Sunshine Task force . Yes, okay. And the other, i guess, i wanted to ask the City Attorney about, the requirements in terms of meeting becaus
They are still being considered and we still only hope to move along the confirmations at a future meeting. Thank you. Supervisor avalos. I appreciate the work that the rules Committee Members had done on selection for these candidates who are before us today. But i really feel that the process was kind of incomplete and id like to be able to think that we can actually approve the members all together. I mean, the seats, theres enough applicants to fill all the seats. It seems like that could be before the rules committee. I know the june 5th rules committee meeting, member who wasnt there, david campos will be there and im hoping that we can make a motion to send back these names back to the committee to be able to hear all together with the other applicants and together [speaker not understood] that one more time. I do realize there was a lot of work involved, but to me it would make a lot of sense to do that, especially because i dont feel comfortable with all the candidates who are
About the diversity of the task force. So, i really wanted to encourage any interested people to apply so that we may continue to further diversify our task force. Thank you very much. Thank you. Supervisor tang. Thank you. And i appreciate supervisor yees comments. Some of them were actually similar ones i was going to make. Unfortunately we only had actually two members of our committee at the rules Committee Meeting and, so, i think to be fair as well as given the number of candidates, we really hoped to, to appoint more individuals to the task force at our next scheduled rules Committee Meeting. I also had the opportunity to speak with two of the organizations that do have designated seats on the task force. I believe that we had great conversations about how it is that we can mentor future applicants to serve on the task force and become interested in it as well as increasing the amount and level of diversity of the candidates as supervisor yee mentioned. So, just to reiterate, no
