My other issue is that if you work for the city and you did not join the service in San Francisco, you cannot take advantage of the City Contracting you for your active duty military years. Well, i served and fought right along with San Francisco marines and i would like to see that changed. Im probably the only veteran in the city to say that, but im saying that because it not only serves up the veteran right that served on active duty, but it also helps the city by moving people along. I served active duty for three years. That would move me out of the system. And id like to move along and retire so that i can devote more time to helping veterans because i can see where theres a lot of need and a lot of areas where veterans can be helped, particularly in the areas of employment. When i was at the Community Center, i put a lot of people to work in construction and i privately made veterans a priority when i was putting them in the Construction Apprenticeship programs because i remembe
Issue here, i have three years of active duty and San Francisco retirement board will not pick you up unless you join from San Francisco or you are waiting on an city employment list. Those are the two conditions. So, id like again, here, im not going to repeat myself, i would like to see that change so you can move these people on off the list and they can do other things. Like myself, for example, im a homeowner here so i have no intentions of leaving once i retire. But i would like to devote more time to helping veterans and that is one of the things that i could do upon retirement. Thank you. Supervisor cohen. Thank you. Thank you, ms. Tramil. Thank you. I appreciate you having at least two issues youre interested in working on, important for us to hear a vision.

I was here, i think it was october, and i gave a very similar testimony. And i d
Priority when i was putting them in the Construction Apprenticeship programs because i remembered myself being homeless. So, i said when i would look at the he application, i said, okay, this person is a veteran. So, im going to just make them a priority for the next apprenticeship opportunity that i have. And thats what i would do privately with veterans. It wasnt written into our contract with the Redevelopment Agency to do that, but thats just something that i took upon myself to do because ive walked in the shoes of a homeless veteran and an unemployed veteran before. So, going back to the second issue here, i have three years of active duty and San Francisco retirement board will not pick you up unless you join from San Francisco or you are waiting on an city employment list. Those are the two conditions. So, id like again, here, im not going to repeat myself, i would like to see that change so you can move these people on off the list and they can do other things.
