Fund ive shared those recommendations with all of you but to highlight a couple we believe astronomy that we need to strengthen the citywide alignment and appreciate thats been highlighted by the working group we support the mayors proposal we do building the cost of any cooperation strategy we dont believe that such a body should be responsible for oversight and like the board of education they 0 handle that, etc. We support the language in the charter that calls for a stronger coordination of alignment and support the idea of trailing ordinance to follow with details. And as jessica mentioned we support two ballot measures one to reauthorize the childrens amendment and one to support of peace for the district of both fund. We also are calling for the elimination of the childrens amendment for peace we believe as a city we need to a state our commitment inform o to the next generation and were recommending to create a were calling for an expansion of the Childrens Fund for the transitional age youth and calling for an increase in the Childrens Fund and peace were supporting rome the trigger for the full amount of funding for the School Districts clapping. Michelle Parker again, im with the Second District pta and able to serve on the Community Chris coalition im excited about being being a part of those conversations theres no question about the impact that peace funding is here we still have librarians theres one point i want to bring up ive heard it a lot and thats as we begin to see our funding restored back to 20074 and 8 level and have a better economy i want to not think of peace as a ceiling to what were spending but important things that need more funding we know all or rapid you funding is coming from peace we hope well consider adding funds from the general funds and not think of peace as a funding fund and be more effective. Thank you thank you. So the sxhiment is now closed. I will open up briefly for the board. Anyone having commits thank you rachel i actually have questions i think we need age more clarity you mentioned a little bit about the children and Family Council and the clufk what are those and how are they postponed and what authority do they have. I have to say the outstanding issues are the guts of this thing theres a list of things im keenly interested if. I feel like were a little bit information light right now. Do you want to get a response. Would anyone like to respond. Ill give a it shot to answer the questions about the council and the collaborative one thing ill say i think speaking for the working group as a whole is there are a lot of different details that need to be flushed out. And theres an openness to many, you know, different configurations. So whether the level of specific it should be included in the charter itself thats a question thats being discussed whats the right level of detail thats should be written into the language like general language that captures key concepts so thats, you know, one question in and of itself but along the way if theres a discussion that does relate to adding some detail within the proposed chapter amendment then that could include issues about what it the representation in our city council, what is the right level of description for the collaborative its not finalized by any means commissioner i mean so the purpose of this presentation tonight was to i mean to accomplish what were the outcomes you wanted to disciplinarian. So have a public conversation of what were talking about in a working group commissioners so we actually accelerate the conversations around getting resolutions to some lingering questions. Part of whats also been apparently, theres going to be disagreements even on this body in terms of what we want to see in terms of Going Forward so we wanted to start that public conversation about this and what those questions are going to be so im almost done. So i would just is, you know, i mean based on my conversations with staffer theres very little disagreement son the peace part of this about our opposition it on the trigger, to taking out the in kind, taking out the sunset i dont see much controversy more controversy open is Childrens Fund side i continue to be opted to doing one ballot measure we have so if you answers so i need to state it opposition. Im intrigued by the idea that was mentioned which say, i do think that whatever goes into the charter should be relatively board and general so we can should tell this issues and the trailing legislation thats the first time ive heard it stated that way its district r inwill go contributing we have to have language introduced at the board of supervisors bend of may; right . So that makes me that he nervous ive said locking those two together in one initiative limits our flexibility and our ability to maneuver we dont need to do that. Anyway, im in favor of anything that preserves our flexibility and allows us to time to flush the issues out anyone else . Commissioner wynns and then commissioner haney. Brief commits, please i have to say that i too in discussions with the members of the board of supervisors and the discussions i have concerns about a single initiative. Honestly, i think its going to be a harder sell. And i also have concerns about as you know the board knows im concerned about language that says this children and Family Council is going to be the one that defines the outcomes and im even more concerned recently, i heard we had an earlier debate about the insertion of the Controllers Office as the refer and fafrlt of the evaluations i find that business arrest. One as those things are developed i think i think but i know it would be true were more likely to get consensus on the board show us language if youre proposing which i dont think is necessary at all that the chapter amendment will have language for the council thats not a chapter issue but i want the language that clearly sets the educational outcome goals and evaluating them is the domain of the board of education and not any council thats made up of staff people i want them to be the city staff people i want to propose actual language before i say okay were protected. My worry about theres one thing i want to ask weve talked about before its not on the list its the issue that currently, the peace spending plan is approved by the board of supervisors. I would like to see language and something in our agreements or discussions with the city that staying say what they get to do is make sure that we actually spent the money the way we said we would not giving them a plan because in the past even though not anticipated to be such weve heard about the consequences today when it comes down to it the board of supervisors thought oh, thats the opportunity well use it opportunity to get what we want about the in Kind Services and it was out of blue. So thats my i mean a as a matter of principle i want to publicly say im worried about that we have an excellent relationship with the city. Were writing smoking something still i think should be permanent why the only sunset should be for the childrens project and peace the only things for the kids the Police Department and the Fire Department and the library theres no sunset. So i, you know, clapping. lets say hopefully, well get to the permanent set aside permanentcy can be changed by a new charter but we actually know thats within there now is a lever thats been used in a way thats not satisfying i want to say publicly im absolutely against any in Kind Services or trigger. So heres my bottom line about a circumstantial initiative at the current times whats been said to the board were talking to the city about the concerns but lets go ahead and say this lets link those things together lets say we might be more libel to link the initiatives which could be a hard sell weve got thankful only if we consider that only if we get a proposal that we like thats my position thank you commissioner haney. Ill make brief commits than a question. This is our opportunity to say this publicly i will echo the commits that have been made a top priority for this board is having the peace and concerns relatively to the structure address in this process. The in Kind Services the trigger and sunset and maintaining our role to make those decisions those have been from the beginning our conversation to be a top priority for us and i say and speak not for the rest of the board but i hope the public understands thats our top priority and the second piece i echo some of the questions around information light i have a hard understanding there is a sense we support ill speak for myself we support better cooperation and communication and setting oaks and goals we share all of that is great Data Information shaifrg but so much is in the details whos on the counsels and what the alternatives are so we want to see those things happen i want to know when were in a place to see the specification so we can make decisions. The Community Folks have come together and put together a great list of recommendations we can say we support those things as well and our things but you cant have both in some cases were making choices here and if were making those choices as a board particularly as we talk about the policy solutions if we support the oaks and improvements and coordination i absolutely do what does that look like and the details of it and when are we going to have that conversation if at all before theres a discussion of the legislation thats drafted and the last thing ill say on there are some important questions that relate to the Childrens Fund that i dont think weve fully discussed whether publically or privately so i also want to put that out there we do think well getting get so it point we as a board took a position on the outstanding Childrens Funds issues how do we feel about the transitional use and the fees ive been asked publicly and privately what did the board think i dont think we have. Obviously, we have discussed we have other priorities here those do relate to the important programs and kids in the city often we speak out directly related to funding are not thrsz thats an important thing i guess i want more information this is my relating brief commits its all relative i want to know about the further conversation what it would look like in terms of of language because its one thing to support i will do personally a lot of those goals weve set forward and in trusting our staff to moved on those but in terms of choices weve made around language and detail and trade offices i want to know more about those choices thank you. Commissioner mendozamcdonnell thank you. I just wanted to comment on the pieces that came up. On the sense i think that id like i think sunset is a good thing because its the best practice those practice even with the last ten years weve had with the case and Childrens Fund where it gives us an opportunity to revamp and tweak and again, its the best practice again, id like to see the sunset obey extended so 25, thirty years versed 8 to 10 years and commissioners when all of the charters have sunsets and commissioner and supervisor kim gave us a good write up. Im a no on the in kind and in terms of the one initiative vs. The two initiatives i feel strongly about the initiative because weve done in the campaigns and doing those collectively we can talk about those initiatives for the children i think everybody understands and the effort weve made people dont understand where the money comes from they dont see the separation of the Childrens Fund and peace necessarily but there are funds that help support our kids. If were going to be looking at a policy or a way to support all our kids in a collective way doing this together makes sense. I want to remind folks there are a lot of initiatives on the November Ballot and for us to distinguish the two that are important under one initiative is going to be a lot easier fuss are to deliver then is jumbled up ballet that will be experienced in november. Thank you, commissioner. You support the idea of the concept of a childrens agenda and i want to talk about the commissioner mendozamcdonnell initiatives i feel strongly i want to hear for arguments on both sides of the one vs. 2 initiatives, however, being Kind Initiative were going to be insistent w that the governance be kept sprairl. I support eliminating the trigger eliminating the in Kind Services. I think i need more information about the sunset it would be great to get more information. I have one question for staff. The distinction between the council and our children collaborative my impression ask roof of the combrns is proposed to to to be concentrated where our children are collaborative theyre our nonprofit partners were going down the road of silos and my strong suggestion is we bring everyone around the table the School District and Department Heads because thats the direction that weve been going and i just want to offer one life example having seen successful implementation of that collaboration that can be found in the cities violate council actually, we have 3 people representing the elderly abuse but around the table are reflect partners weve focused open particular policy priorities without influencing the independent Vice President s or nonprofit but coming together and being problem solveers together 0 so what is the distinction between Family Council vs. Our children city collaboratives deputy superintendant. Vice president the main distinction is the council would really be more like the body you described thats comprised of representatives from the city or Department Heads or what i have are referred to as implementers leadership from the key School District departments that interface with the city departments to share the clientele and the community members. So a multiply Industries Group to could be, you know, a fairly large group that services as a Steering Committee representing the multi perspectives you mentioned using the anomaly of the provider. The collaborative would be very different it would be basically dedicated staff to support the work of the council. So it would be a small group of folks that are basically fulltime in a working fulltime to support of the work of the council such as helping to facilitate the development of a youth outcomes framework a joint youth framework helping to facilitate lets work to implement data sharing protocol or agreement, and to create an inventory of services that are really transparent and seamless to all of the students and families that receive the services which doesnt exist in a cohesive way right now. Its deeply connected to the council but the roles those folks would be working on this a small broke up group of people to be determined working on the collaborative work fulltime. Thats the distinction and the council itself would have connections to the City Governance structure as well as to the board of education. So they wont be making the but doing the developing the proposals, developing straw designs that will need to be adapted by the bodies of the city and the School District. Thank you, my more comments. I have brief comments about 3 pages are i first want to say this is first, we wanted to bring this to a public forum to tell the public b. A. About what the Board Members have feeling and as a whole about the proposals. I am against any kind of in Kind Services being charged and, of course, no trigger and the sunset i dont want to go through this again but i will agree to a sunset thats thirty or 40 years. See if thats possible and i want to say weve had a lot of conversation about this one ballots or two ballot measures and so personally, i want to put on record that i am willing to take a leap of faith and have a larger childrens agenda. This is you cant why . Because we need a larger safety net we have the students for 6 hours a day but more and more students are falling into homelessness. I want the city to be on the same agenda for our children i believe in serving our students we have duplicate services we are trying to duplicate Minnesota Health centers its a hard thing to do alone i want to actually all our city departments to realize we have a responsibility to the children of San Francisco. We service the largest amount of children in San Francisco. Were kenya aware of what they need they enter our schools everyday. If were trying to do it alone without the support of city i want them its impossible to close our racial achievement grandpa to get our children ready for college its impossible were 49th in the country weve got to be more cooperated we need to work in larger collaboration and that is a good way to do that. I want the city learned to be aligned with our children and childrens needs. I want them to be concerned were losing our a africanamerican population and were concerned about losing them in the schools i want the city to be on the same track and be in cooperation when we talk about 9 for all of San Francisco childrens to is a have a bigger agenda. So i guess im not so afraid of giving up governance what weve seen and heard doesnt say we give up combrns its nor aligned and better effective and efficient of fund. Clearly we cant do that alone im going to be honest. I think im my fourthgeneration san franciscan im afraid of the future for San Francisco for our children. I do this somewhat out of fear for our families that find it harder and harder to live in San Francisco and survive here but i also do it for the future of the children and the families and in particular our students that will graduate from our city halls and hope theyll be able to live here and raise children. I believe in order to do that we must work with the city to
