Thank you. The goal is simple. Its to raise womens voices. Learn a little bit about what you should be thinking about in the future. We had own over 300 over 300 people who signed up for the oneonone counseling today. I think in the world of leading, people sometimes discount the ability to lead quietly and effectively. The Assessors Office is a big one. There are 58 counties in the state of california and every single county has one elected assessor in the county. Our job is to look at property taxes and make sure that we are fairly taxing every single property in San Francisco. One of the big things that we do is as a result of our work, we bring in a lot of revenue, about 2. 6 billion worth of revenue to the city. Often, people will say, what do you do with that money, and i like to share what we do with property taxes. For every dollar we collect in property taxes, about 68 cents of it goes to support public sstss, our police officers, our fire departments, our streets, our cleaning that happens in the city. But i think what most people dont know is 34 cents of the dollar goes to public education. So it goes to the state of california and in turn gets allocated back to our local school districts. So this is an incredibly important part of what we do in this office. Its an interesting place to be, i have to say. My colleagues across the state have been wonderful and have been very welcoming and share their knowledge with me. In my daytoday life, i dont think about that role, being the only Asian American assessor in the state, i just focus on being the best i can be, representing my city very well, representing the county of San Francisco well. By being the only Asian American assessor, i think you have a job to try to lift up and bring as many people on board, as well. I hope by doing the best that you can as an individual, people will start to see that your assessor is your elected leaders, the people that are making important decisions can look like you, can be like you, can be from your background. I grew up with a family where most of my relatives, my aunties, my uncles, my parents, were immigrants to the united states. When my parents first came here, they came without any relatives or friends in the united states. They had very little money, and they didnt know how to speak english very well. They came to a place that was completely foreign, a place where they had absolutely nobody here to help them, and i cant imagine what that must have been like, how brave it was for them to take that step because they were doing this in order to create an opportunity for their family. So my parents had odd jobs, my dad worked in the kitchens, my mom worked as a seamstress sewing. As we grew up, we eventually had a Small Business. I very much grew up in a family of immigrants, where we helped to translate. We went to the restaurant every weekend helping out, rolling egg rolls, eating egg rolls, and doing whatever we need to do to help the family out. It really was an experience growing up that helped me be the person that i am and viewing Public Service the way that i do. One of the events that really stuck with me when i was growing up was actually the rodney king riots. We lived in Southern California at the time, and my parents had a restaurant in inglewood, california. I can remember smelling smoke, seeing ashes where we lived. It was incredibly scary because we didnt know if we were going to lose that restaurant, if it was going to be burned down, if it was going to be damaged, and it was our entire livelihood. And i remember there were a lot of conversations at that time around what it was that government to do to create more opportunities or help people be more successful, and that stuck with me. It stuck with me because i remain believe government has a role, government has a responsibility to change the outcomes for communities, to create opportunities, to help people go to school, to help people open businesses and be successful. Make sure to be safe, and of course to have fun. And then, i think as you continue to serve in government, you realize that those convictions and the persons that you are really help to inform you, and so long as you go back to your core, and you remember why youre doing what youre doing, you know, i think you cant go wrong. Its funny, because, you know, i never had thought i would do this. I became a supervisor first for the city under very unusual circumstances, and i can remember one day, im shopping with friends and really not having a care in the world about politics or running for office or being in a public position, and the next day, im sworn in and serving on the board of supervisors. For many of us who are going through our Public Service, its very interesting, i think, what people view as a leader. Sometimes people say, well, maybe the person who is most outspoken, the person who yells the loudest or who speaks the loudest is going to be the best leader. And i think how i was raised, i like to listen first, and i like to try to figure outweighs to work with out ways to work with people to get things done. I hope that time goes on, you can see that you can have all sorts of different leaders whether at the top of City Government or leading organizations or leading teams, that there are really different kinds of leadership styles that we should really foster because it makes us stronger as organizations. Take advantage of all the wonderful information that you have here, at the vendor booth, at our seminars and also the oneonone counseling. I wouldnt be where i was if i didnt have very strong people who believed in me. And even at times when i didnt believe in my own abilities or my own skills, i had a lot of people who trusted and believed i either had the passion or skills to accomplish and do what i did. If there was one thing that i can tell young women, girls, who are thinking about and dreaming about the things they want to be, whether its being a doctor or being in politics, running an organization, being in business, whatever it is, i think its really to just trust yourself and believe that who you are is enough, that you are enough to make it work and to make things successful. Ever wonder about programs the city it working think to make San Francisco the best place to work and will we bring shine to the programs and the people making them happen join us inside that edition of whats next sf sprech of Market Street between 6th is having a Cinderella Movement with the office of Economic Workforce Development is its fairy godmother Telegraph Hill engaged in the program and providing the reason to pass through the corridor and better reason to stay office of Economic Workforce Development work to support the economic vital of all of San Francisco we have 3 distinctions workforce and neighborhood investment i work in the tenderloin that has been the focus resulting in tax chgsz and 9 arts group totally around 2 hundred thousand square feet of office space as fits great as its moved forward it is some of the place businesses engaged for the people that have living there for a long time and people that are coming into to work in the the item you have before you companies and the Affordable Housing in general people want a safe and Clean Community they see did changed coming is excited for every.

Today, we learned about the office of Economic Workforce Development and its effort to Foster Community and make the buyer Market Street corridor something that be proud of thanks to much for watching and tune in next time for any comments, questions, or corrections . Hearing none, call the question. All in favor . Any opposed . I abstain since i was not here. Yes, the motion carries. And now, item 4, the directors report. Good morning, commissioners, and welcome, commissioner spears. It is great to have you here and its also great to have a full commission. I think its been several years, so very excited to work with all of you. I think i want to start with kind of the National Level stuff. I just came back from the National Association of area agencies conference on ageing and board meeting, im a california representative for n4a. It was in new orleans, and you know that meeting in new orleans in the summer was a little harsh. I was talking about our approach to ageing in San Francisco. In addition, we had Katrina Williams who works in the Human Resources division who came and did a training on implicit bias and equity and inclusion, and it was really well received by participants in that workshop. The other news, and i may have mentioned this early because we knew about it earlier is we were the recipients of an award because of the partnership that we have with Community Center and with Senior Centers with the older adult Choir Program. So Community Music center was with us to receive the award. It was really exciting for them, and theres been some press in San Francisco about this. But its really its such a great intervention, and the people who are involved in the choirs report regularly that they feel more healthy and more engaged and all the things that we hope for when they are involved in a choir. At the state level, i think we talked a little bit about this earlier on when we met in june about what the budget was shaping up to be, but we did ageing and Disability Services did well in the budget, and there were in addition to, you know, some of the medical enhancements, some of the things we focus on are our community services. We did very well on nutrition at the state level. A. D. L. Got funding for the first time ever. This is really a way for ageing Services Providers and the independent living providers to Work Together to really think about how we serve people with disabilities and older adults together, so we have an adrc in San Francisco, and there are seven others across california. And hopefully what this means is well actually get some state funding for the first time instead of funding this solely with local funds. Ombudsman also got some much needed funding, which was really excited. When you think about what the ombudsman does is go out and look at the quality and the care in Skilled Nursing and assisted living facilities and theyre much understaffed and underresourced, and so this was really exciting. And then, we also got, for the first time, some money for falls prevention, we all know that falls are so hazardous and quite often put people in the hospital and they often dont come out. So falls are bad. This is the first time that the state has put money into this. Locally, we had, on monday, something really exciting happen, and that was we had an older adult and disability work fair. And the office of economic and Workforce Development along with the Community Living campaign and the anything any time Fund Coalition put this together. We also had some Funding Partners who were really helpful in making it happen. But we had i dont know what the final count was, but it was really successful, and i think it showed to some people what the need and the appetite is for work for older people and adults with disabilities. It was, i hope the beginning of a much stronger relationship with us along with our Community Partners and funders to think about, you know, what does this look like moving forward . How do we ensure that were continuing to advocate for people with disabilities and people in the workforce . And also including diverse age and ability when what that does to the workforce and how that enhances it, and i think we just need to keep hammering that home. We are, through the Community Living campaign, our community partner, are continuing to work with a creative agency, and theyve come up with some ideas for us. And our work group has looked at all of them and weve kind of gotten down to one idea, and so now, the agency is talking about how to get the reframing ageing campaign out into the community. So hopefully in the next few months, well be seeing the fruit of that labor out and about town. Im hoping when people see those things, they can photograph things that they see in town. For those of you that use social media, i think its going to be really exciting, and i think theres going to be community engagement, and i think thats going to be really crucial. And then, im going on and on. Ill take any questions if you have any. Thank you, shireen. Any comments or questions . Not a question, but a comment. I was able to attend the workshop on monday. It was great to see so many different departments working together on this effort. It was crowded. It was the folks there were enthusiastic, both on the job seekers side, but also the employers who were there, they were doing onsite interviews, and you could just feel the excitement in the room, so l congratulations for the effort. Thank you. And i do have one thing on my list, and i just skipped over it. I talked a little bit about the name change for the Department Early on, and i just wanted to give you an update as to where that is right now. So president yee introduced the name change to the full board. It then, the proposed name change went to rules committee and passed out of rules committee and then was signed on by the full board. So the board is in the process of putting the proponents argument on to the ballot . And so then, theres some activity that needs to happen after that, but then, well see what happens. One of the things is it does is it changes the name to department of disability and ageing services . So the fact that the department serves people with disabilities clearly, clearly in the name. And the second thing it does is it specifies the makeup of the commission to ensure that theres a person with a disability on the commission and that theres a veteran on the commission, and older adult, which having an older adult on the commission has never been an issue, and weve always had that, but it specifies the other two, as well. So thank you. Any other questions or comments for shireen . Thank you. The next item is the employee recognition. The daas department and shireen will honor people from the department of adult protective and ageing services. [applause] so i dont think weve honored anyone from Adult Protective Services, so could everyone from Adult Protective Services stand . [applause] so we all know Adult Protective Services is such a Critical Service in counties and San Francisco is no exception. Our Adult Protective Ser
