Amy van nest, brandy kuentzel and maria conlon have withdrawn. When you come on up please state the name for the record as well. Good morning supervisors im annemarie fortier. I have been a chairperson for the past year succeeding the previous chairperson who held the position for seven years. Having come into the Commission Last year as chairperson im sure you can all relate to finding my sealegs and understanding the process and what not. Im getting the hang of it and it would like to continue to serve in this capacity on the commission. Im a 20 year resident of district 2. Have been a dog guardian for most of that time. I enjoy the work in the commission and bring the respective of dog guardian and also a parent, and a frequent user of the outdoor space. Finding a balance between all ups is critical to the health of our people, our animals and our natural spaces so i would love the opportunity to continue to serve an eye appreciate your consideration. Supervisor tang thank you very much. I guess for both of the applicant here, are there any sort of particular issues that you would like to address facing whether it is animal welfare, or i know that there are a lot of other issues concerning animals out there. One of the biggest things we are considering now is the bond measure. We had hoped to be part of the measure, and we see some of the financing and that is not going to happen. We hope that you supervisors will allow the funding for the new animal care and control facility to proceed. It was intended to be a temporary facility. I want to say 1980 something. Its held up, but it is sorely lacking. We are very passionate. Like us at all of us on the Commission Care about the safety, the animals and people in both of those groups are at risk in the event of an emergency in our city. Another issue is we are generally groups in opposition on the restrictions of the unintelligible offleash areas proposed. We are also concerned about the process. We feel that over several years the tgnra has given the public an opportunity to speak and when they came out with the recent guidelines they seem to not reflect much of what i have seen, the views of our citizens. That is another issue that will be coming up. Supervisor tang great, thank a very much. I have something to say about another applicant, may i do that . That can be done at the Public Comments. I am unintelligible had been in small animal private practice in San Francisco for about the last four years. Prior to that was working in an Animal Shelter capacity at the Humane Society in santa rosa, walnut creek. During my, was involved with animal control in my county so i have been involved with Animal Shelters. Have been crisscrossing all of the neighborhoods. I have been doing that for about a year and gotten to know the city even better than i would have imagined. Supervisor mar she is a mobile vet. Thats pretty cool. I go to peoples houses and see the pets at their homes. I am a lifetime girl scout; my dad is on the unintelligible board of directors for his whole life. It is something that we do without question. But to me, i feel we cannot function in the Community Without citizens getting involved. You cannot complain about something without taking action. Have also been heavily involved with the American Veterinary Association on the National Level since about 2008, first as a student delegate then on the executive as a student. I have been working with veterniary students across the board. My goal as a member is to help provide medical background on any issues that may come up. Public health issues, animal issues involving animals, i feel my background will be important. Thank you for your consideration to be on the animal control and welfare commission. Is there currently a veterinary on the board . Currently not unintelligible . Supervisor tang i want to provide an update because i know this was mentioned. We did this on tuesday at the board of supervisors, another step to make the rebuild of animal control and reality. We passed legislation regarding certificates of participation proceeds followed by legislation that will be trailing in the fall. Again we are making Good Progress as the city on our commitment to provide any facility for the animals there and the employees by the way. At this time will open up item 5 for Public Comment. If anyone wants to come up these come to the podium. Thank you supervisors. I would like to say on behalf of doctor hansen, is extremely help for the have a veterinarian on the commission. Oftentimes we are presented with issues from the public were we have questions among ourselves. We hear things about specific breeds of animals or types of animals, characteristics or particular issues and commissioners might not be aware of them. Having a veterinarian there is extremely helpful when we are considering these issues. I would love to see doctor hansen appointed to this board, someone who has experience. Secondly a would like to make a comment about bunny rosenberg. It would be refreshing to have a Little Critters person. Ms. Rosenberg has been involved with the Animal Community for many years and we see her regularly and she would be a nice addition to our commission. Supervisor tang next speaker please. The morning my name is Sally Stevens i served on the commission for seven years and that would like to speak enthusiastically in support for annemaries reappointment. I was delighted when she took over as chair when ice stepped down. Basically everything falls on the chair to figure out so i wanted to say from someone who has been there it is hard and im know that she probably feels she is just hitting her stride. I urge you to reappoint her. Would also like to speak in support of the veterinarian; there is one seat reserved for a veterinarian and it is important to have someone there. It is hard to get a lot of veterinarians to agree to serve. To some extent someone who is willing, dont let her get away as for the third position that is open i dont know any of the three other people. Just looking at their resumes, i was impressed by nicolle Bunny Matthews rosenberg but i cannot say for personal experience. Thank you very much. Supervisor tang any members of the public who wish to comment on item 5 . With quick with annemarie. Ive only recently started going to the meetings. I dont know her personally but seeing her at those eating she knows what she is doing and she is done a very good job of keeping things on track and on time and making sure people do get a voice in keeping things organized. She has been helpful in the understanding the application process. From the little bit and have seen i would say she has been a Great Commission member. Supervisor tang any other persons wish to speak . Item disclosed. For six correction four seat seven, only one applicant. I make that motion. Supervisor tang we will confirm dr. Hansen for seven. That takes care of seats 1 and 7. We have seat 2 left. Looking over the applicants i would like to give nicolle the opportunity to serve even though she was not appointed before. I like her continued dedication. I would be okay with moving forward with ms. Rosenberg for seat 2. Seconded by supervisor mar. We will take that up without objection. Confirmed. Congratulations. Mr. Clerk of the could call item six. An ordinance exempting California State UniversityFresno Foundation from the nonprofit Public Access ordinance. Supervisor tang thank you. We have someone here from my believe hsa. Good morning supervisors. My name is contract manager with the Human Services agency. With me is john sitikaway sounds like , we are requesting a waiver on behalf of the csu Fresno Foundation. Hsa as context of the provision of title iv trainings. For Child Welfare proiders. Hsa and unintelligible are all contract terms. The foundation is asking to waive the 12hr requirement as they feel they substantially meet the public exit requirement and will have to make considerable changes to their procedures to meet requirements by the city. The foundation adheres to an is bound by the requirements under the california education code. Rather than the unintelligible meetings a year, csu is required to have all meetings public with a seven day notice period. It is important to avoid taking any action until it has been made public for the seven days. With regards to meeting representation csu has provisions in place to advocate participation from University Alumni and members of the committee. Records are available for public inspection upon request during operational hours. The 12 hour requirement for Community Representation will require procedure and policy changes that would prove a bit burdensome to the foundation since it has to adhere to the california code in parallel. Supervisor tang it was a pretty thorough explanation. The school will adhere to public transparency and openness. I dont think we are forgoing any of that bypassing this today. Thank yousee no questions or comments from college we will open up items six for comments. Good morning david unintelligible speaking as an individual. Despite the action of the board eye continue to follow Public Access in public records particularly unintelligible , a number of times about the dilemma with the csu Fresno Foundation and how to deal with the 12 hour requirement. This is the first time in my knowledge in the 18 years that the nonprofit public ordinance has existed that the board has proposed to exempt a contractor from its requirements. I think that doing so would thwart the Public Access requirements. I think there are a couple of options for the board. You could pass this ordinance; that would set a bad precedent. Im not quite clear of the title iv requirements or the specifics of the contract between hsa dn the foundation, but of the services on the provided to the City Employees and the city employs them provide direct training to actual members of the public, that ive believe the contract would not be subject to 12l. But again im not sure how those title iv requirements work. Alternatively we should have another discussion about 12l. Its been 18 years. Maybe they are specific about what is covered and what entities are subject to it and if it could narrow the scope to just those agencies that provide services, direct services to the public and are headquartered in San Francisco or the bay area. It is difficult to go to fresno to attend one of these meetings or attempt to be on their board. Supervisor tang thank you. Any other numbers of the public who wish to speak on and six . Good morning miami john citikawa sounds like with hsa, contract director. In response to the comment. Its basically the training for masters level Child Welfare staff whether it is Risk Assessment or case management. The foundation serves primarily fiscal agencies; we have what is called the bay area academy. The staff of coordinates and provides the training. Different universities have acted as a fiscal agent; we have had it with San Francisco state, berkeley, cal state, east bay and currently we are working with fresno. Primarily this contract is directed to hsa staffing. Supervisor tang thank you very much. Any other members of the public or wish to comment on item 6 . Seeing none, Publi
