Please cmon up. Good morning, thanks for your consideration. My name is im applying to be on the council advisory. I work in the Mission District and provide housing for seniors in the areas and the rest of San Francisco. I believe that my experience, i have been working at the center for the last 8 years and i have been dealing directly with our senior population in the mission. So i believe that my experience and exposure to the aging community in the Mission District will be very beneficial to the Advisory Council because with our residents, they come up to us and they have whats happening at the mission and in San Francisco and they are also very active in the community. They were very vocal about the recent changes happening in the district regarding the muni bus stop relocation. They fought hard but unfortunately the changes were implemented and while they are not very happy about it. But, i believe my involvement with the commission will be beneficial for our residents of the center and the rest of the Mission District population. Supervisor katy tang great. It looks like from your application that you have quite a bit of experience in housing. So, i guess im wondering if you can shed light on what are some of those things we can improve upon for Senior Citizens in housing . Our goal to provide as much Affordable Housing to seniors in the mission area and also the rest of San Francisco. In order to do that, we are trying to improve our building. We are going to be going through remodeling for the next 3 years in order to remodel our units and also we are going to be building a brand new building in our facility and dedicate it specifically to arts and wellness. Our organization has a division that is in charge of that. Its called ricks table. And so the goal is to have this building to attract the surrounding neighbors in the Mission District to participate in well being classes with us. Right now we are only focused on our own residents, but the goal is to expand to the rest of the Mission District, especially the seniors. Thank you, supervisor mar . Supervisor eric mar i just want to add that like picasso, that everybody is an artist whether you are the tiniest toddler to roots in your life and there are efforts to raise awareness to infuse not just through curriculum and the schools, but also through life and thats great on housing. I know that dos plays an even more Important Role and the senior boomers. That seniors have more than doubled the population and possibly 50 . The role that you have to ensure there are streams and funding to go to aging and programs and housing. We did a study on Senior Housing needs and we identified that the boom in seniors will lead to a huge low income and housing cost. I think what you do is so critical not j u. S. In the mission but throughout the city but joining the commission. Im glad that you are going to be appointed. Thank you very much. Supervisor katy tang thank you. Anymore questions for colleagues . Thank you very much. Is there any additional Public Comment . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. And now colleagues to do we have a motion on this . Supervisor cohen .

I have been living in richmond for 25 years. I wandered around town and im still there. Im also a paralegal. I have ridden my bike all around to San Francisco state, the mission and every beach in town and Golden Gate Parks and twin peaks and the bridge and the opera house. So, i am one of those cyclist that ride a bike and im happy to see that we have bicycle lanes. I thank you for that. Also, as a paralegal i have had the opportunity to witness many adversarial processes and settlement. I consider this an asset. Maybe im a little bit of a nerd. Im kind of fascinated by that. As you may also know i organize the San Francisco contingent of the right of silence. Im sure you all saw the flyer that i placed in your offices a few weeks ago. This is my fourth year working on the San Francisco contingent of right of silence. Its an international event. Started a few years ago to memorialize someone who was killed by a passing bus. Here in San Francisco, we have many fatalities to memorialize. Although cyclist do not, we organize as i should say do not and specifically intend to have a protest. It is a memorial. We do object being hit by cars, of course. I invite you all to come may 18. We are rolling out at 6 30 p. M. Thank you. The last 2 years we have had a roll out with motorcycles. They gave an amazing display of courtesy to bicycles. I have some come out to me and say this is the nicest the police have been to us. Show up. We are there to demonstrate humanity. I understand there are changes in the work to the masonic at district one. It is a route i take regularly. I have been in touch with petra linky, her son was killed on the corner of masonic, about 5 years ago. He was just a couple years before his 21st birthday. Im sure his family was overjoyed when he was able to study here in San Francisco and then he got killed. Im interested in finding out. I believe it was gandhi to have change in the world. I would like to see kids working in land and glove. I dont see any reason why their interest should not be aligned and i seek Common Ground with all the other constituency groups. That is my goal, my goal is to work with my supervisor and provide him with enough information. So, i ask for your vote and thank you for your time. Supervisor katy tang thank you very much for your presentation. Supervisor mar . Supervisor eric mar i think devon is going to be a great addition. It helps to change culture and also policy. I think your experience of riding everyday especially through dangerous areas of the city is going to be a great addition. The deaths and accidents from the richmond really have bothered me from the 2010 killing of derek allen, 22yearold man dragged from a bus was so heartbreaking and the bicyclist who was killed for his bike in the richmond. There is this different effort that evenings like this is important for this policy and looking at a familyfriendly experience and also people as use to say, making it safe for people from 880 is really critical as we change policy. Im pleased the experience that you bring will add new life to the bicycle community. Im glad to support you and also really be educated by you on the bic. Supervisor katy tang thank you, supervisor mar. Seeing no further questions and comments. Thank you for your presentation. Is there any additional Public Comment .

Clerk [appointments, Sunshine Ordinance Task force] hearing to consider appointing seven members, terms ending april 27, 2018, to the sunshine ordinance sk force. rules committee there are seven seats and ten applicants. Supervisor katy tang thank you. We have seven seats and ten applicants. We are going down the order on the agenda. That will be great. Lets start, please. With mr. Josh wolf. Good morning, my name is josh wolf. I served on the sunshine ordinance for 2 years. Its been a pleasure to have an opportunity to weigh in on these important government issues. My background as a journalist and i work as a freelance journalist which is part of the seat which im applying. I think thats all im inclined to say, but if you have any questions, im happy to address them. Supervisor katy tang supervisor cohen . Supervisor malia cohen im excited that you are excited to serve. The Sunshine Task force has a reputation for sometimes being onerous and not fun. Im glad we have people before us that are excited to serving. How long have you been on the task force . 2 years. In the two 2 years that you have been on, maybe show me some highlights of the things that you have accomplished . Sure. I didnt necessarily prepare for what types of questions would be asked so im just going to be free associating that. I dont have preconceived questions that came to me. Thats our rule committee. All right. Proceed. So, one of the things that i found really interesting is the process of working with departments because we have the same custodian of record and the coaching process as we come closer to compliance with the ordinance. In addition to that, and i definitely appreciated working through that learning process. In addition to that, im excited to see developments of future sunshine ordinances because we certainly identified areas that the technology has changed from when the ordinance was first written. As i understand if there is going to be a ballot measure implemented in november to revise sunshine ordinance. I hope that passes for being one of the First Responders for addressing how these new ordinances will ensure that we have the most Government Transparency and open access to information. What is your opinion of our transparent, our local government . I think we have opportunities to grow. Compared to other cities, we are doing great. Compared to other states that dont have the states open records law and the same as california and other cities in california that dont have our sunshine ordinance. However there are still things we struggle with and issues that come up from time to time where records are hid from the public and that is unlawful and we as a sunshine ordinance we object and ensure those ordinances are followed. You think the departments that are discovered hiding things. Is it a department or a person and property. Im not asking for any names, just trying to understand everything. There is a common thing going on. There is advisement from the City Attorneys Office that may not square with the law Sunshine Task force that it has and when departments are using that guidance from the City Attorney to the task force, there can be a break down there that has to be sort of get massaged in a rather slow process because the City Attorneys advice to each department is obviously protected under the attorneyclient privilege and the city doesnt participate in the task force that way. This is the way we feel if the department goes somewhere else and confers to the City Attorney and if its not to the need of San Francisco, they file another request and we go to this sort of slow carving out the process. I think it would be much better if the City Attorney were to take an active role in working with the Sunshine Task force working with the guide and other positions the City Attorney can take to be on one page and make these advances more directly. The City Attorney assigned to the task force now has that been the same person in the last 2 years that you have served . Mostly its been the same. We have had reed come over. I understand hes gone back. Thank you, no further questions. Supervisor katy tang thank you, mr. Mar . Supervisor eric mar thank you, i would like to move this forward. I think your watch dog, is great. I think you served in jail for the antirights . Was that right . Yes. Thank you for the hyper bole. There was some kind of violence. The d. A. Did not try to pursue my work product for prosecution, however the fbi stepped in and made a literal case out of it. I invoked whats called the reporters privilege which should protect me from having to testify before the grand jury in the way it does in california and 48 other states. But we dont have those protections in the federal court. I tried to fight it and wasnt successful and found myself in contempt of court. Its a good addition for the media to really represent media and being a watch dogon power, powerful corporate interest that protect people from having that right to democratic process and that to me was really impressive. I will support your work. I know we have other media justice activist that are looking for a seat on 8, 9 and 12, and having this democracy is great and supportive. I have to leave at noon. All right. The next applicant was lou. Rs here to speak on her behalf . Yes, im very happy that she invited me to speak. Would you mind state your name ford record. Im with women of the league of voters and im the chair. Dear rules committee. Thank you for nominating me for the San Francisc
