The team for that explanation there. Hay the ground work for a bit of what i am going to cover which is to give you the high level takeaways that we extracted from our conversations with the Community Members. Of course, theres much more detail to go into and to be explored in later conversations, but just so you guys have a sense of what conclusions or what sort of takeaways we were able to come out with with our conversations. I missed my clicker here. So d looks like we have a little fault with our visuals here. But as doug, anthony, and donnie have gone into, this was fundamentally a qualitative exercise. Fundamentally about dialogue with our Community Members, understanding through that format where their values were, and how our program intersected with that with their understanding of the citys priorities were. But thanks to the note takers and thanks to the writing exercise that the participants undertook in parallel with the conversations that were sort of volleying between these note taking sessions was that we were able to extract quantitative data as doug and the rest of the team indicated. From that data we were it allowed us to extract responses that each participant provided to each activity and each prompt and each activity to put that and move that over to a spread sheet and analyzer have bay tum and come up with analyze iter have bay verbatim and identifying the values and activity two with theverbatim a identifying the values and activity two with the department and to that end, what you see represented here on the screen and what we wanted to give you a sense of take aways first and foremost in activity one, a bit of a word cloud here with differences in scale between the words. Those reflect the frequency of the top themes that emerged in our conversations with our Community Members and the course of activity one, the pyramid exercise. So one thing that i would like to note above and beyond what i am going to go into in a few words on the screen here is that when we asked our participants to define where their values stood with respect to themselves and their communities, the overarching response that we heard was, and the theme we assigned to it was i care about a healthy environment. What do we mean by that . What did they mean by that, i should say. That referred to a preoccupation and concern with having clean air, clean water, access to healthy food, and really the fundament fundamentals, nontoxic environment. So we used that healthy environment theme and stepped back with that one and used it as a framework in our analysis and in our review of the other themes that emerged from this exercise. What we saw with that is that the communities or participants values with the values and there was an extreme overlap in the communities and the personal overlap that were put forth. What we heard is a value for urban nature, for cleanliness, safety, equity, and waste reduction. In their own words, access to clean, green spaces that are safe for everyone to enjoy, Environmental Programs that improve the immigrant communities and people of color, and living in a spvibrant city while connecting to nature. When we analyzed the pyramids and the images and photos, it was interesting to note the intersection between the visuals that emerged and they selected and their own words and their writing on the subject. You will see the Community Garden in the top left and followed by the sort of treelined residential street. And followed by the fantastic three bins. That for us we noted the intersection between that and cleanliness, waste reduction and safety. As we examined what our participants define as the citys priorities with respect to the environment, we have that repetition of the category of a healthy environment. Fundamentally they saw the priority as insuring that all the residents had access to a healthy environment. When we took that theme as a framework and followed the Top Priorities and to insure that things are going to the right and for example, it was pivotal in addition to education, development, and sustainable development. And in their own words, what that meant was encouraging responsible practices and regard to waste, transportation, business, and housing. And the environment and with the growth and recycling and development and educating everybody on why it is or not to recycle. And to fast forward and plenty of takeaways that we could have noted in this, but just to give you a sense of barriers and opportunities, i chose to highlight the two for the specific case and we can go into more detail at a later time and i am sure as you have your questions, that will emerge from the presentation. As we asked our participants, workshop participants to identify based on the understanding of the key barriers were and the programming and wont be reflected in the scale and from the awareness of our programs. So there was a lot of enthusiasm that came out of the workshops and the interest and engagement with the department and say, hey, what gives . What is preventing you from participating right now . Internal wealth, and i know about it and i will do it. That was a key takeaway. Other barriers included time. Obviously folks have a lot of responsibilities and can they seamlessly fit in in some way. And they also center on access to transportation and that was something with the Community Members and conversations with the seniors and the bayview are emerging from my memory. But really just having access to the programs. And finally language barrier. And just insuring that i guess concerns surrounding making sure they understand and that the programs and services being catered to them in the first language. So looking at and rounding out this abbreviated presentation of findings with the final themes that emerged from our analysis were the recommendations that our participants provided. And we can do the category as opportunities with the nice colorful areas and in light of and in view of the gaps that emerge and folks identified with the recommendations you have to make the programs accessible and access not only for financial reasons but for reasons of environmental reasons and sharing that there are solutions to homes and businesses. To insure that whatever the transportation solution and be it Public Transportation and insuring efficiency and be it insuring that we have green modes of transportation or that there is Transportation Solutions put forth as the recommendation. Collaboration and collaboration with local governments and national and international. And the predominant response with the private sector and outreach is another programming recommendation that harkens back to the programming gap relating to awareness. And equity, insuring that thement pras and services the programs are and services are accessible and relevant to all of our city residents. So with that i will turn the mic back to donnie. Thanks, asia. What you captured there was a high level overview for the first phase of the analysis and going through an incredible amount of data. And still metabolizing it. But we have some three highlevel takeaways and one of those is what is next. The first takeaway is while we are validated by what the original plan and gained substantial qualitative and quantitative feedback to update the plan and integrate the feedback and can be implemented and as you captured from right therefore this, a lot of high level visionary suggestions and pragmatic suggestions as well. More information about the Safe Medicine Disposal Program and suggestions about how to get people out of personal vehicles. Those are things that are tangible and will be able to convey to our partners at the mta and share with the department immediately. And the stretch goals and visionary at large. Another thing that was important for us to see is how genuinely excited and appreciative the participants were to be heard. And i hope you got a sense of that as well. And not only were the Department Staff that participated inspired to hear and inspired to be a part of it as well. A real love fest at the workshops that have a strong reminder for positive change and the last take away is the feedback we receive d as well a our own experience is commissioners are incredible influencers and your role in participating and being at the table and sharing your opinions and thoughts, listening, engaging was incredibly important, and i want to encourage you all to think about how to continue to be fabulous messengers. Because you really helped make the events meaningful for the people. The input was well preeshlted and your appreciated and your presence was appreciated from a staffing perspective. So what next looks like is we still have to metabolize a lot of the information to get hard data, hard facts to present to you at the beginning of 2018 as well as the majors office an update to the plan with the recommendations from the community which is the next deliverable. The teams are at work to start making the recommended edits. With that, that wraps up the presentation. Thank you. Thank you so much for the presentation. I know i participated in the Small Business session, and i enjoyed it so much to be with people who dont always have the opportunity to come here and to be heard. I think as commissioners, we represent the whole city. And while many of the folk who is come here are very passionate and we see them from time to time, i think that there is something to be said about making sure we are representing all of San Francisco and its richness and all its diversity and figuring out and going to communities to figure out what are some of the barriers for them is very rich process for me. And donnie, i would like to volunteer that when you present that to the mayor, i would love to be part of that because i think that we all have such strong voices in what we in the communities that we come from and then the different sessions that we were participating in. I just cant thank you enough for doing that because i think it as public members to go out there and to talk to the residents is maybe old school, but theres nothing like going to the people and to the communities and talking to them and having people feel that theyve been heard, especially by a government body, which sometimes especially today people dont feel they are heard. So for me it was very, very special and i cant thank you enough for the presentation. I look forward to hearing more. With that, i believe commissioner wald i dont think i oh, there it is. Commissioner hoyos. I am first . Only because i dont think i cleared this last time. Let me just clear it. I am having technical difficulties. Okay. Great. While we get that together, can we now clap for this . [applause] okay. So i am first. Okay. So thank you, guys, not only for this terrific presentation but for all the work, the advance work that the planning, the strategizing, everything that went into making it such a successful event. It was to echo what president bermejo said, it was really terrific to be in the room and watch you all lead us through all of these exercises. And following up on what our president said, i may have asked this question and dont remember the answer and the work that you engaged in to report back to the mayor and in some way that the people said in all the rooms. If you thought about that, i would love to hear what it is that you think you are going to be doing. Thank you, commissioner, for mentioning that. We have communicated to the participants that once we captured the information and made i. D. Dits to the plan and made edits to the plan, we will invite them back for the show and tell of how their words were shaping city programming. Thank you so much for saying that. It is in the plan. That is really terrific. And that is often the missing link. People come here or so other, you know, institutions, and they say what they say, and they wonder, you know, so what . And for us to be able to show what, i think, will do a lot towards making people have positive feelings towards government and departments like yours. Thank you. Commissioner hoyos. I have a few points. I had the great opportunity to participate in the dialogue foes kued on familieses in the mission focused on families in the mission. Asia, it was good to see you there. A couple of things. One, i want to compliment the staff because they were so well run. And again, there was just nothing that wasnt thought about in advance. And i know it took a while to schedule that one and we had to reschedule to find a date and a venue and all that that worked, but i got there and it was just amazing. Including the food and the utensils and real plates and culturally mexican food we had that night. It was just good and looked like another one commissioner wanda, what was yes, that is right. It was caring and thoughtful. And like wedding planner thoughtfulness. And i love that. I was surprised. So my two kids go to spanish immersion Public School in the mission. I personally live kind of near japan town, and i was surprised, asia, when you mentioned cleanliness was big. It really was big in the mission, and whereas my neighborhood, i didnt go to one in my neighborhood, but it was less of an issue. So i think this was less of an issue. I am wondering about the microcosmser to micro climate of the issues that popped per constituency group. It would be great if we could, donnie, you talked about getting us more information, but great to do a deep dive and make a workshop for us. I would really love to just do the deep dive to really understand as a commissioner what the core concerns were with the various constituencies we brought together. Before you answer that, my third point, i wanted to give polly a shot out and perfect, fluent spanish and is half spanish, half cuban, but it was really well done. I felt really moved by how you all did there. The same with the group that we consulted with just execution of the notes and the minutes and to do this thing and the other thing i was pleasantly surprised to hear from the dialogue and the commission is getting at what you said and how much people even though there was, what is it called, like an incentive to attend and some sort of gift card at the end that people seemed happy to receive and they got that, but people wanted more. People said, a couple of people in the group were like, can we do this again . It wasnt about the gift card, but the real interaction and people in government wanting to make and improve peoples neighborhoods. I felt like we will see, but i felt like if let me just say we worked with one of the groups that helped get people there, and it would be interesting to see if we did some sort of forum where we had some anchor groups from the mission put it on, i know its a lot of work, but who would just attend because they wanted to attend without any incentive. I got the feeling there was a hunger for that. That really popped for me. I will stop there. The question, i guess, on the table for me is the deep dive on the data and when can we get the more micro per session data. First, commissioner, thank you for the comments and thoughts. I want to take on the technology that there was a significant amount of staff who participated as table facilitators and one of the presenters and several of us and peter galata is here who was one as well. Many of us leaned in, paused on our daytoday, to make these things incredibly successful, so yes, your notes are en pointe for how we feel about these. To the point about data, we have so much information and spread sheets and cross paths and analyzing everything from the micro to age and how where one program area has one session had one theme, and comparatively to others and what did they mean . And those are just themes and so many words and thoughts behind the themes, that we have synthesized and we have subtl y subtleties that we have captured as well. To your request, yes, we want to share and have individual workshop reports and a larger snapshot of what the whole story is. Absolutely. Does that mean we can have a workshop . I will leave to the president. I want to nerd out with the data. We have so much data. Good. All right. Thank you. Commissioner wan. Sure. I think fortunately, i would like to thank the outreach team. I think they did a phenomenal job in reaching out and very hard to reach population. I got a chance talking to the consultant to how to get all the people and the way they reach out to them is not only about Community Partners and friend and relatives, neighborhood associations, and very impressive. I feel very humble to to be there to flern the residents. To learn from the residents. One theme that popped out for chinese speaking group is outreach and touch on the equity and language barrier issues they are facing. I personally would continue to dialogue with any opportunity to have a discussion with the community directly. The other thing impressive to the residents is the diversity of the staff that represent the department. Even i was, like, wow, we have that many bilingual staff able to represent the department. I think we can do a lot better job and how to reach out to them in the future because they seem really excited to be interacting with the department. And last but not least, interested in the Regional Group and what was the popular theme from each of them. For example, young adults and what was one thing that popped out from that group that is distinguished from other groups. I am also a data person, but thank you, great job. Any other comments from our commissioners . Director raphael, do you want to add something . So thank you, team. Oh my goodness. They worked talk about lean in. It was amazing to watch and as person with glass in front of my office and look out across t a donnies office and see the team getting their Heads Together and really learning what theirre capable of what theyre capable of is exciting. Asia, i believe you come on board and were handed this as a project. And so it was so much fun for me to learn how asias brain works and to watch her troubleshoot and take a whole universe of possibility and narrow it down. I love the phrase wedding planner standards. I think that is awesome. For me, i just want to say that one of the things that i was so blown away with and commissioner hoyos when you say people wanted more, and commissioner wan, you felt the same way, that i met some really interesting potential partners. People who i had never met before because they werent the people who show up to the Commission Meetings like commissioner bermejos talked about. Who i want to pick their brain more. I want them to be included. I am excited to reach out to them very personally to come back and engage w
