First i just want to apoll guy for shireen she is off on vacation, and meets in the commission. And i just have a few updates, first is our age and disability, friendly San Francisco group. And in 2014, mayor lee, signed a letter with for the city of San Francisco to join the Age Friendly Cities and communities. And since that time, we have had a work group. Focusing on the different areas of aging disability and friendly. And now the work group is moving on to convening a task force that will complete a base Line Assessment and action plan as our next step. The assessment and action plan is comprehensive record of age and disability friendly efforts in the city. There will be two cochairs for this task force, anita as the mayor, and the Senior Advisor on health policy, and kelley who is the director of the ihss Public Authority have graciously agreed to be the cochairs for the task force. And the task force will get under way, shortly in the next few years. And hireen has been asked for the california, association on the areas of aging to be Education Campaign committee chair. And this group, the goal of this group is to look at ways to promote aging, and change the conversation in california. They have a tag line, which is aging is all about living. And they will work on different educational processes to promote positive images, and different awareness on aging. And then the third thing is the office on the aging as well as our contracts department, and the Planning Department are working together to develop request for proposals schedule for the whole year. And our plans is to present that to the commission at the next meeting. So that you have the plan laid out for the year of what to expect. And that concludes the report, do you have any questions . Any questions in commissioners . Well, okay. Okay. You mentioned that the city, is going to have a task force to study, we study at the aging population . So the task force is specific to the aging and disability friendly work group. Which is a work group of the Long Term Care coordinating council. When they expect to issue the report . Are they going to have one year . Yeah, probably in about a year. That is the goal. What is the objective . When you, and what can we expect from the report . So the base Line Assessment gives us a picture of the current efforts of how we are meeting the aging and disability friendly, initiatives, which are outlined from the world health organization. Which i would be happy to send you if you want to look at it more closely. And then from that to develop the framework of how to move forward either, either in policy development or Program Development and it involves, representatives from all over the city, the different departments and the Community Based organizations and such. And including the nonprofits . Yes. And consumers. Yes. Yep. And if you would like, i would be. No that is all right. No i am not expecting worldwide. I am interested in San Francisco. Yeah, in the initiatives for that. All of the cities that follow. Very good. Okay. Commissioner sims . Just a quick question on the calendar for rfp, could you give us a sense of what that will have . Well, not exactly, i think that the intention is for us to layout a plan for the year, so that we are issuing them throughout the year and not in a clump for the staff. And for the commission, and for the staff, and for contracts, and so that we can make sure that we are focusing on them throughout the year. Okay. And that will be the Public Documents chl yeah, a Public Document and it will be presented next month. I just have one question. Will this effect the people who, the contractors in terms of their budget lines and will they be notified in advance they may have to go longer in the year . Will they be notified in advance of what their budget time line will be. Yeah, definitely. Once it is developed, we will make sure that they have it. And go from there. And it is, you know, it is not a hard, and it is not necessarily a hard and fast thing. There may be you know, changes that we need to make, based on what is coming on at that moment. Okay. Thank you. Any other questions . Thank you. Next we will have the employee recommendations, the department of aging and Adult Services will honor silvia zhang from the public conserve tor office. Thank you. Good morning, everyone. So silviy would you like to join us . Okay. Thank you for being here. So, we are going to, this morning, we are honoring sylvia who is from the public conservators office. Before we do that, could anyone who is here in the office stand up and be acknowledged . Thank you very much, for everything that you do. And so just a little before we get to sylvia, a Little Information for you about the office, the public conservator provides, Mental Health and service foz San Francisco residents, for gravely disabled. And this means that they are unable to provide for themselves, food, clothing and shelter. The due to mental illness. And the found by the court to be unable or unwilling to accept voluntary treatment and so it is a Legal Process by which they are assigned as a public conservator. It appoints one that is responsible for things like reports for placements, and psychiatric medication, and supervision of treatment, advocacy and placement and Case Management. And if you have any other questions, about the office, i am sure that any of the staff would be happy to ask them. Or answer them for you. So, now to sylvia. So, really excited that you are up here and that i go get to do this. So thank you. She is a senior transcripter typist is her official title. She has been in the office since september of 2011. She is, and so these are words of her peers. She is an intelligent, thorough and dedicated employee who rarely misses work. Behind her humble exterior lies a highly skilled and efficient and dependent worse horse capable of completing complicated work among constant interruptions she is never too busy to help others and she is always open to share her knowledge and expertise. She completes vast amounts of work discreetly and is always, gracious, she is open minded and gets along easily with colleagues as well as clients and providers, due to her kind nature and professionalism and sense of humor. Sylvia is one of i kind. That is nice. And her humility and elegance and quiet determination is other worldly, we are so lucky to have her on our team. So, thank you, and i would like to present you with this memento of our gratitude, thank you very much. Would you like to say anything . No, i am okay. Thank you. Thank you. Could we have the Advisory Council report . Is there a substitute . Okay. Good morning commissioners. Management has to be out of town and so they asked me to represent him. I have to say that i look these and, these are really the transdescription of my own note and rather than the official agenda and i have not been able to see it yet. But you will have it next month. And so you will be able to see it. So it is possible there are some inaccuracies in it and certainly some omissions. So, after this is the meeting of august, 17th. And after roll call and approval of the agenda and the previous months minutes, president schmidt and the Advisory Council talked to our members including one former member long time activist walter devarn who had to resign due to illness. We discussed the partnered das, and ucff division of gereatrics and the mental and Behavior Service training which was held at mission bay on friday, july 22nd, the Advisory Council members and who attended including myself, was very good. And das director, shireen made her report, and das has received three awards, including the chance and restaurant meals, for Seniors Program and the road show, and the bay view Hunters Point and the multi service, information program, and one for San Francisco connected. And there were talks of pursuing the Worlds Health organization, aging friendly city designation, which has led to the creation of a task force and we have already heard about that. And an rfp has been entered and requesting additional money for home care and housing subdies. And we noted the resignation of jones, and they are in the process and has hired a Deputy Director and an aging director and we are going to have the presentations and one presentation was from the tender loin, safe passages program, which uses volunteers and community partnerships, to insure safe walks to and from school for the children in the tender loin and the safe passage foz seniors, several agencies are involved, cooperating, and there is funding from Saint Francis hospital. And ucsf school of medicine, and there will be more if the Fund Proposition i, passes. Volunteer corner captains who were very visibly dressed, monitored designated for children. And i was less clear on how they manage the walking and of the safe passage of seniors, but that will probably be in the minutes. A second presentation was a vision zero. And a proposed collaboration between the departments of Public Health and the public works and the safety planning and muni to reduce the pedestrian, and bicyclist and driver, accidents, and the seniors and the persons with the disabilities are especially at risk. And it was moved and seconded and passed to support the new needs of adopting vision zero, community reports. I dont believe that there was an official report from the Membership Committee chaired by ruso but i am pleased to say that i know that we have two applicants in the process of requesting appointment and both will be very good. Beverly taylor from district ten, which i believe is supervisor cohens district has joined the Advisory Council, rick apple bee and the stated that the Education Committee is working with ucsf on the geriatric workforce project and the training will be in october and future trainings and goal setting, and safety, and vision, and perhaps, another which i didnt get. Rments from the field, and moxi, noted that the board of supervisors has passed the motion for Data Collection about older, lgbtq persons, based on a well designed and Research Survey form from ucsf. Several city agencies including das, will be involved. As you probably know, marcy has been honored by the San Francisco commission on the status of women for her work on behalf of lgbtq seniors. In survey and research and advocacy, especially on dementia. And for older, and lgbtq women and for cofounding project open house. We did not discuss any of the business, we postponed discussion of the by laws as this meeting ran long and there were no further motions that were moved, seconded or passed. Thank you. And i just have one question. Sure. On the meeting regarding muni. So it was at a meeting of committee was going to look at safety for seniors, in the bicycle correlation . It is, and i dont believe it with me. And it is a proposed collaboration called vision zero. And we did not meet with muni but it seems like if it is ray proposed collaboration between the Public Health, public works, San Francisco, Planning Department, and muni. Okay, i am sorry, i dont have any more information. Thank you. Any other questions . Thank you. Okay. Thank you. Next will be the joint legislative committee report. Diane lawrence and neil sims. Actually i will be making that report, we are without our cochairman Diane Lawrence this time she was on vacation and so you are stuck with me. We talked generally about legislation at the end of the state cycle, and i will highlight one that i thought was subnative and that is, 80, 15, 84, by brown is the cola piece of legislation, unfortunately it has moved forward, but they have significantly lowered the awards from, so that the increases are pretty meager that are going across in that cola increase, i dont have the exact dollars amounts but i know that it is nominal dollar amount. And that and our meeting was sort of at the end of the state legislative cycle. And so most of everything that we were interested in was on the governors desk awaiting his decision for the signature and we did not have a lot of conclusion around some of those, and the status of those pieces of legislation. And we talked about the funding for the california, legislature and the funding and it was passed through both houses and expected the governors signatu signature. Mrs. Warren, first name . Ann. Try to make her diane. And was quick to point out, that it is a one time only, funding and the way that cso was listed on the california state tax return, continues to be problematic, and they were not successful in reaching the minimum threshold in the last tax cycle and so there is something about the future funding so that we are concerned to be concerned about that and focus on that. And we talked about the dignity fund and invited representatives from the dignity fund to up date us on that campaign initiative, at our next meeting. And we talked about the issue of homelessness at some length. Talking about both the impact of homelessness in San Francisco on the disabled community as well as the increased age, dem graphic for the homelessness in San Francisco and so we, i am having a tough time and i am under caffinated this morning. But my colleague, richard al made a motion that we approve to invite the Mayors Office zcar on homelessness to talk to us about the impact that that whole area, of interest in the city is having on our city population, and those with disabilities. And so we are looking forward to that. And our next meeting is september, 21st, at 9 00 a. M. I did receive a question about the bi laws of the committee and combining it and having the separate stationary and as i am still looking at that and seeing, that if not, that you will create another body in terms of who is responsible, for that group, in terms of who they are reporting to. And were they operate separately. And so, i just was not quite clear. So i wanted you to really have a discussion, not only with the commission, but as well as the Advisory Council. Yeah, so. How their by laws will we will probably have more to discuss on that, once the staff has completed that analysis. Okay. We will see. We are not ready yet. Okay, all right. And just so before you just make sure that both the advisory committees, look at that, absolutely. As well as the commission. Yeah. Have it, and the input into how they have changed in the by laws, or might change the by laws, thank you. I will just say that it will be a coordinated effort. Okay, thank you. And the Long Term Care coordinating council . Well, i will respond to that. So there was no long term coordinating Council Meeting in august so there is no report, and the next is tomorrow at 1 p. M. Okay. Thank you. Next the tacc report, cathy she is not here. She is in sacramento. Okay. Case report . Im dave, with the Senior Center reporting for the case. And i will just briefly, our Membership Meeting in august was our annual advocacy brain storming and you will hear more about that in a couple of months, and in other words, we look at all of our successes from the last year, brain storm and what we would think, and improvements in the Senior Service systems in San Francisco, and what we want to propose for next year. Our next Membership Meeting is this coming monday, where we are going to embrace the dignity firm, and we have sandy coming who is going to bring in the posters and the buttons and the slogans. Is there a general Public Comment, we will move along to any old business. No one. And the new business . Okay. And all items below are action items and require a vote by the commission. I am mike, and i am from
