and we have mr. wooten here who presented on the shelter monitoring committee. thank you for being here. thank you. good afternoon. thanks for having us. matt wooten, vice-chair of the shelter monitoring committee here with ramon, lacayo, the secretary. usually we hand you this report and read it to you. today i would like to do something a little different, if that is okay? i want to take this time to bring to your attention as of november 23rd, all of the seats on the committee will be expiring. sadly a vast majority of the people in their seats will not seek re-appointment. i am one of those people. this means there will be no quorum. and the committee will be ineffective. i bring this to your attention because i m hopeful that rules will prioritize appointments beginning in january, especially prioritizing spanish-speaking appointees and providers. this is not to be considered a walkout or show frustration, but simply our terms are ending and we no longer have the time
in addition to the whole board vacating at once, there are a number of additional concerns that we have. how do we the city, maintain a committee of able and committed members? as it stands the committee is all volunteer. the workload as of now are far too labor intensive to be sustained by a volunteer board. so as you just suggested perhaps staggering terms would be an excellent idea. but this is just one issue. the officers have collectively identified a number of issues and large-scale questions, but i believe we re at a point that some changes need to be made. first the committee need goes through some major changes such as do the standards of care continue to make sense at this time? they did at one time. but it might not make sense anymore and how can we as a committee without teeth enforce standards of care? how can we expect shelters to meet standards of care when they are unfunded? and what is a just penalty for non-compliance? certainly it doesn t make sense to fi
there is any legally permissible way to do this we should move forward with the appointment. thank you. thank you for being here. we ll continue this item until a later portion of the meeting. at this time i will call item 4. item no. 4 hearing to the quarterly reports of the shelter monitoring committee. thank you. and we have mr. wooten here who presented on the shelter monitoring committee. thank you for being here. thank you. good afternoon. thanks for having us. matt wooten, vice-chair of the shelter monitoring committee here with ramon, lacayo, the secretary. usually we hand you this report and read it to you. today i would like to do something a little different, if that is okay? i want to take this time to bring to your attention as of november 23rd, all of the seats on the committee will be expiring. sadly a vast majority of the people in their seats will not seek re-appointment. i am one of those people. this means there will be no quorum. and the committee

and there needs to be more connection between the station and the community and making sure that when we are evaluating whether we re going to be redesigning the different buildings in the area around the balboa park station. that they support the needs not just of the community to make sure that pedestrians are safe and make sure traffic isn t overimpacted, but there are a lot of needs of students at city college of san francisco that aren t able to find housing. i personally didn t have housing for a period of time in san francisco and if we re going to be look at redeveloping the area and making sure it s a safe place and if there is potential to create more of a high density neighborhood. so that people don t have to drive in the area. that that make it a better, safer, more walkable community considering we re a transit-first city. i have also worked in public transit and worked in the school district government. so i hopefully you kindly consider my appointment to seats
