Thank you so much. I will just say i am very excited about this item and this documentary. I rescued my again m guiney. It is great to have you with us today to share any information. Thank you. This is our first time for the shared screen. If it doesnt look right, please let us know. I am the executive director of San Francisco animal care and control. Today i am asking for positive recommendation on the resolution authorizing animal care and control to enter into a film agreement with big fish entertainment. To be featured they do live rescue. Animal care and control is the citys taxpayer funded shelter. We enforce state and local animal control and welfare laws. In existence since 1989. Provide housing, care and medical treatment to wild, exotic, domestic, stray, lost and injured animals. From addition to enforcing state laws we are First Responders for animals in natural disasters and other emergencies. Big fish entertainment are a production company. They have the live rescue show which we would participate in with your approval, animal er live, top dog. It is run on Major Cable Networks like discovery, a and e, national geographic. The live rescue series follows firefighters and paramedics. Some of the work our animal control officers were doing they saw and asked if we could participate in the series. Health and safety are a top priority during row individual. We are working closely to make sure that the proper rules are in place regarding that. Is there any questions . This is captain corso. They were the two officers had captured the Mountain Lion in june. Sorry to interrupt. We are not seeing your presentation at this time. It is a bacit is a black screen. We got the first half. The last minute we had a black screen for your presentation. Okay. Let me see if i can fix that. This is an interesting resolution and exciting to think about our animal care and control being featured or on a documentary series, Animal Rescue. Or live rescue. I was wondering if you could speak a little bit to how you think this furthers the mission and the work of animal care and control to be able to have this visibility. Frankly, this is always a position difficult to recruit for, so if i can get any kids on tv or High School Students watching animal control and say, hey, thats what i want to do when i grow up, that would be phenomenal. But i think, also, it just encourages the public to understand wildlife issues. People are informed about dogs and cats, but in terms of wildlife, thats an Important Message for us. The officers are so jazzed. In the Mountain Lion rescue, i think one of the best moments was after they had scooped up the Mountain Lion and had him in a container. All the Police Officers rushed up and said, oh, my gosh, that was the greatest thing weve ever seen in our life. Really, how often do you see two women wrestle an 80pound Mountain Lion . [ laughter ] thank you, thank you so much for all of your work and we will now open this item up for Public Comment. Yes, members who wish to provide Public Comment should call 415 6550001 and the meeting i. D. Is 146 6702563 and then press pound and pound again. If you havent done so, please dial star three to line up to speak. A system prompt will indicate you have raised your hand. Wait until youre unmuted and you may begin Public Comment. Are there any speakers on the line . No callers in the queue. Chair i am very excited and very happy to make a motion to submit this resolution forward with positive recommendations. Can we have a role call vote on that. On the motion role call . The motion passes without objection. Chair thank you and well see you soon. Mr. Clerk, can you please read item number five. Item number five is a hearing on the department of elections reports submitted to the board of supervisors on june 30th, 2020, pursuant to ordinance 8820 on plans for implementation of municipal Election Code 1102, expansion of votebymail by San Franciscos november 3rd, 2020, consol consolidated election and elections to report. Thank you so much and i am appreciative of the director of elections for being here today. In early june, the board passed legislation requiring to submit by june 30th. Its required to vote by mail to all registered voters and safein person voting, ballot drops and robust plan for education and outreach, including coordination to engage in historically low turnout communities. Director arntz, i believe the plan you and your team have prepared is both impressive and ambitious and a lot of work to be sure people are educated and informed and supported to adjust to the new way of voting. I wanted to hold this hearing to be sure that the public has a chance to learn about the plan and to weigh in. The november election may be the most important of our lifetimes. During the state of m. P. And during this state of emergency and more important that we keep us safe and secure. Welcome, director arntz and thank you for being here. I just wanted to mention to my colleagues and the public that shikars miley, the director of the office of Racial Equity and director gerald davis from the Human Rights Commission with her chief of staff are also here and available for questions. And with that, director arntz, i dont know if you have a presentation or just want to describe what your plans are. Thank you, supervisor ronen. Good morning. I do have a presentation, but even though i joined the meeting, i cant open it up to present to the meeting right now. There we go, ok. Can you see the presentation . Yes. Today ill give a pregnant, an overview and this isnt everything were doing for this election. This is an overview of our efforts in relation to the ordinance the board passed earlier this year regarding election planning for the november election in relation to covid19 responses. And so the topics that ill cover in the presentation also relate back to the ordinance and the topics are voter outreach and education, universal votebymail, inperson Voting Services at the outdoor Voting Centre outside of the bill graham auditorium, polling places and compliance with health guidelines, health and safety protocols and service to voters in hospitals or homebound and so on the voter outreach piece. So the departments objective for the november 3rd election to inform City Residents about expanded votebymail voting, safe inperson services and key dates and to provide focused outreach for vulnerable and hardtoreach populations. And to reach these two objectives, they applied no contact strategies, increased use of official elections mail and direct and indirect digital and print and election materials. The Department Also intends to engage inperson outreach for in election as long the groups are small in number and meet all of the health and safety protocols that the dph has put forward. And then regarding election mail, this summer, the department began sending City Residents a series of outreach print and email notices, highlighting information about the november 3rd election. First in june, we sent 7,000 email notices regarding Language Preference. They registered to vote or are registered to vote and nod indicated a Language Preference and were born in chinese, spanish, fill pe philippino and japanesespeaking countries. We told them how to request these details. With new people registered to vote in San Francisco, we noticed that theyre born in these countries and speak these languages listed, they will reach out and indicate that there are materials available in those languages regarding the election. And the vote options noticed in august, the Department Mail the qadralibera alinual and people e to become voters three ways to access voting in the upcoming election and to check the registration. We reminded voters they have an opportunity to return ballots back to us by email or fax. Now, the return of ballots by email and fax is only available to people who are living overseas or are in the military. So i want to put this dont wanl emaiits for all. During the stayathome period, it continued to update and monitor the Voter Registration information that we have and many people now register to vote online and so were able to process that and do our work, our maintenance offsite but then on a regular basis, we had people coming into the office to scan the hard copy registration forms and also any notices or information that voters sent to us. And so weve never stopped the processing of information regarding the Voter Registration database. And then for future outreach notices, Going Forward, well distribute additionadistribute l College Students whose residents might be impacted by covid19 and so, people whose addresses are on college campuses, were assuming theyre College Students and if we have email addresses for these voters, then were sending them information about updating the mail address so they can get their ballot, mail it in and receive it and cast it in time to be counted for this election. Were also sending emails to voters experiencing homelessness, informing them that they could benefit from providing us with a Mailing Address where we can actually mail a ballot to them for the election and some people provide cross streets as their residential addresses and so we cannot mail so just a cross street and if we have a maildrop address, we can send these folks ballots. If we dont receive a mailin, they are assigned to polling places, just like any voter in the city. They can go to the assigned polling place or to the Voting Centre outside of the bill graham auditorium. And about half of our voters, 250,000 voters provided us with the email addresses and well be sending them notices Going Forward in an email regarding online selfhelp tools on our website. The voter information pamphlet, really, the book, its rather large and one of our main ways of providing outreach and information to the voters before the reelection, the november 3 edition will discuss voting of courses and draw voters attention to key dates and resources. We create four versions of the voter information pamphlet, and if people indicate a Language Preference, then we also produce and send the information pamphlets out in those languages and then we have an accessible version of our voter information pamphlet on our website in hthl, xml and we work to provide formats that people can use so listen to the pamphlet, as well. Other outreach media, if addition to direct mail and email, the departm
