00:11:33 I HAVE HERE TO ASK TO BE CONSIDERED FOR A REAPPOINTMENT
00:11:38 I'VE BEEN SERVING ON THE. SO I FREE PROCUREMENT ADVISORY
00:11:41 GROUP NOW THE COUNCIL FOR SEVERAL TERMS I LIVE IN SAN
00:11:45 FRANCISCO OVER 40 YEARS. WHEN I FIRST STARTED ON SWEAT
00:11:49 FREE I WAS EMPLOYED AT MACY'S WORKING WITH IMPORTED RUGS
00:11:53 AND TEXTILES. SINCE THEN I HAVE CHANGED
00:11:57 EMPLOYMENT AND I'M HERE I BELIEVE AS A MEMBER OF THE
00:12:01 PUBLIC AND AN ACTIVE UNION MEMBER.
00:12:04 I LIKE TO. THE IDEA THAT WE'RE USING SOME
00:12:06 OF OUR CITY HALL DOLLARS TO GET PRODUCTS FOR OUR WORKERS HERE
00:12:11 THAT ARE MADE IN A SWEAT FREE ENVIRONMENT.
00:12:13 I HOPE VERY MUCH TO BE REAPPOINTED AND CONTINUE.
00:12:16 ONE MORE TERM THE MISSION OF SAN FRANCISCO GO TO SUPPORT
00:12:20 WORKERS HERE AND ABROAD WITH LIVING WAGES, DECENT WORK
00:12:24 ENVIRONMENT RESPECT PARTICULARLY TO KEEP WOMEN WHO
00:12:28 ARE PREGNANT WORKING ALL THOSE RESONATE WITH ME.
00:12:29 IT'S BEEN VERY GRATIFYING TO HELP WITH THIS EFFORT AND I
00:12:32 LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING THERE'S AS WE KNOW MUCH, MUCH
00:12:36 TO DO AND WE WOULD LIKE TO MOVE THIS FORWARD.
00:12:40 THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
00:12:43 NEXT WE WILL BRING UP CODY MARTIN.
00:12:54 >> HELLO, I'M CODY MARIN THIRD. I'M THE VICE CHAIR
00:12:58 AND CURRENTLY ACTING CHAIR OF THE SECRETARY PROCUREMENT
00:13:02 ADVISORY COUNCIL. I'VE BEEN VICE CHAIR FOR EIGHT
00:13:05 YEARS. >> I DO THIS WORK BECAUSE
00:13:09 IN OUR COUNCIL MEETINGS WE HEAR REPORTS FROM HUMAN RIGHTS
00:13:14 COMMISSION ON INSPECTIONS OF FACTORIES AND NEVER ONCE HAVE
00:13:20 THEY FOUND A FACTORY THAT IS JUST ABIDING BY ALL LABOR LAWS
00:13:23 ON THEIR OWN. AND THESE ARE THESE ARE THE
00:13:25 LOCAL LABOR LAWS OF THE COUNTRY.
00:13:28 WE HAVE ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS IN A CONTRACT BUT EVEN THOSE
00:13:31 GET VIOLATED AND BECAUSE THE CITY IS INVOLVED AND BECAUSE WE
00:13:35 HAVE WE SEND INSPECTORS TO THE FACTORIES WHERE OUR GARMENTS
00:13:38 ARE PRODUCED, THOSE VIOLATIONS GET REMEDIED WERE IT NOT FOR
00:13:42 THIS WET PROCUREMENT ORDINANCE YOU COULD YOU COULD ALMOST
00:13:46 GUARANTEE THAT EVERY UNIFORM CITY EMPLOYEE WORE WAS CREATED
00:13:50 THROUGH SOME SORT OF EXPLOITATION, WAS CREATED
00:13:54 ILLEGALLY IN SOME OTHER COUNTRY .
00:13:56 SO THE WORK THAT WE DO IS VITALLY IMPORTANT AND IT'S
00:13:58 IMPORTANT TO ME TO ENSURE THAT IT DOESN'T GET WATERED DOWN OR
00:14:04 THAT WE DON'T TRY TO FIND AN EASY SOLUTION THAT THERE'S LIKE
00:14:06 SOME MAGICAL CERTIFICATE OUT THERE THAT WILL SOLVE
00:14:09 EVERYTHING. LIKE IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT
00:14:13 WE NOT ONLY HAVE A SYSTEM THAT WORKS BUT ALSO THAT WE SEND A
00:14:16 NONPROFIT TO CONDUCT INSPECTIONS.
00:14:20 WITHOUT THAT THE ORDINANCE DOESN'T ACTUALLY DO A WHOLE
00:14:24 LOT. SO I I IF YOU WANT TO CAN TALK
00:14:28 ABOUT STUFF WE'RE WORKING ON OR SOME OF MY OTHER QUALIFICATIONS
00:14:32 NO, NO THANK YOU SO MUCH APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND FOR
00:14:36 CONTINUE YOUR WILLINGNESS TO SERVE.
00:14:39 NEXT WE HAVE JASON OR INJURE OR INJURE.
00:14:50 >> HI GOOD MORNING SUPERVISORS MY NAME'S JASON AUGER.
00:14:54 I'M A RESIDENT OF SAN FRANCISCO.
00:14:55 I LIVE IN THE RICHMOND DISTRICT AND I'M ASK ALSO ASKING FOR
00:14:58 REAPPOINTMENT TO THE SURGERY ADVISORY GROUP.
00:15:02 I'VE BEEN A MEMBER OF THE ADVISORY GROUP SINCE IT STARTED
00:15:05 AND WAS A MEMBER OF THE SWEAT FREE COALITION THAT HELPED WIN
00:15:09 THE LAW HERE IN SAN FRANCISCO OVER 20 YEARS AGO OR JUST ABOUT
00:15:12 20 YEARS AGO NOW I GUESS AND I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS I JUST
00:15:16 WANTED TO SAY THAT'S I MEAN IT'S BEEN EXCITING THE WORK
00:15:20 THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO SO FAR AND I THINK IT TOOK LONGER
00:15:23 THAN MANY OF US FORESAW JUST TO GET THE LAW IN FUNCTIONAL
00:15:27 WORKING ORDER AND BE ABLE TO MAKE THE ACCOMMODATIONS
00:15:31 AND HAVE THE COMMUNICATION WITH THE OCA AND WITH THE OH WELL I
00:15:35 SEE IT'S A YOU KNOW, VERY DIFFERENT SCOPE OF COVERAGE
00:15:39 THAN MANY OF OUR LAWS BECAUSE A LOT OF THE PRODUCTION TAKES
00:15:42 PLACE OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES AND SO WE HAVE TO
00:15:46 PARTNER WITH WORKERS RIGHTS CONSORTIUM TO DO THE AUDITS
00:15:49 AND THEY HAVE TO PARTNER WITH GROUPS IN OTHER COUNTRIES.
00:15:51 BUT I THINK WE HAVE A VERY A GOOD FUNCTIONAL SYSTEM RIGHT
00:15:54 NOW. THE THING THAT'S EXCITING ABOUT
00:15:58 THIS LAW AND THE OPPORTUNITY THAT WE HAVE WITH THIS LAW
00:16:01 HOWEVER IS THAT WE CAN EXPAND, YOU KNOW, BEYOND JUST DEALING
00:16:05 WITH SWEATSHOPS IN THE GARMENT INDUSTRY TO THINK ABOUT ALL OF
00:16:06 THE ITEMS THAT THE CITY PURCHASES.
00:16:09 SO WHEN THIS LAW WAS PASSED IT WAS IT WAS INTENDED TO USE THE
00:16:13 SWEAT FREE SCOPE IN THE SORT OF BROADLY RECOGNIZABLE GARMENT
00:16:18 INDUSTRY WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, MAYBE 1% OF WHAT THE CITY BUYS
00:16:22 RIGHT? PERHAPS LESS.
00:16:25 BUT TO GET THE SYSTEM DOWN AND TO ESTABLISH A LOT OF THOSE
00:16:29 RELATIONSHIPS BUT THEN TO THINK ABOUT THE OTHER ITEMS THAT THE
00:16:33 CITY PURCHASES AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE NOT PRODUCED
00:16:34 IN SWEATSHOPS TOO. SO I REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO
00:16:38 TRYING TO LAUNCH INTO THAT NEXT PART.
00:16:41 >> IT'S TAKEN 20 YEARS. WE THOUGHT IT WOULD MAYBE TAKE
00:16:44 3 OR 4 YEARS TO GET TO THIS POINT BUT I MEAN THIS IS REALLY
00:16:45 A BIG ROLE THAT WE HAVE POTENTIALLY FOR THE ADVISORY
00:16:48 GROUP IS TO HELP SHEPHERD THAT PROCESS.
00:16:51 THINK ABOUT WHAT OTHER COMMODITIES WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO
00:16:54 TRY TO HAVE NOT MADE IN SWEATSHOPS BESIDES GARMENTS
00:16:58 AND THEN START THE PROCESS OF EVALUATING THAT WITH THE CITY
00:17:02 AGENCIES AND DEPARTMENTS. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
00:17:03 LOOK FORWARD TO SERVING AGAIN IF I'M REAPPOINTED.
00:17:06 >> THANK YOU. AND I WANT TO THANK ALL THREE
00:17:09 CANDIDATES FOR BEING WILLING TO CONTINUE TO SERVE.
00:17:13 >> IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE'RE NOT EXPLOITING WORKERS
00:17:14 AND MAKING SURE THAT EVERYONE IS TREATED WITH DIGNITY IN THE
00:17:17 WORKFORCE HERE IN SAN FRANCISCO I DON'T SEE ANY QUESTIONS OR
00:17:24 COMMENTS FOR COLLEAGUES. SO MR. CLERK, LET'S GO TO

00:20:28 BECAUSE I HAVE LIVED LIVED IN MY SHOP I KNOW THE
00:20:31 CHALLENGES IN ACCESSING BENEFITS, NAVIGATING THE SYSTEM
00:20:34 AND TRYING TO FIND SUPPORT DURING TRANSITION.
00:20:38 I SPEAK THE LANGUAGE OF VETERANS AND I REMAIN
00:20:39 PASSIONATE ABOUT ADVOCATING ON THEIR NEEDS AND FOR THE NEEDS
00:20:42 OF THE FAMILIES. ARE SEABEES.
00:20:45 SO MY GOAL TO EXPAND OUTREACH IN UNDERSERVED VETERANS
00:20:50 INCLUDING HOMELESS VETERANS, WOMEN VETERANS AND LGBTQ PLUS
00:20:54 VETERANS I INTEND TO SERVE IN MY PARTNERSHIP WITH
00:20:55 COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION, SERVICE PROVIDERS AND GOVERNMENT AGENCY
00:20:59 TO IMPROVE COORDINATION, STREAMLINE REFERRALS.
00:21:02 I WILL WORK TO ENSURE BETTER SIMILAR FAMILY RECEIVE TIMELY,
00:21:06 ACCURATE COMPASSIONATE ASSISTANCE IN ASSISTING
00:21:09 FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL BENEFITS.
00:21:10 ULTIMATELY MY AIM IS TO PROVIDE CLEAR GUIDANCE, STRONG
00:21:14 ADVOCACY, COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT SO VETERANS CAN ACHIEVE
00:21:17 STABILITY, WELL-BEING AND LONG TERM SUCCESS.

00:21:44 IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO THE VETERANS COMMUNITY TO HAVE HAVE
00:21:48 SOMEBODY THAT IS WELL QUALIFIED AND KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE DOING TO

00:21:57 NAVIGATE OUR COMPLEX CITY, FEDERAL AND STATE BUREAUCRACIES
00:22:01 AND I'M GLAD THAT WE'RE ABLE TO HAVE SOMEBODY FINALLY STEP UP
00:22:05 TO THIS ROLE AND ENSURE THAT WE HAVE EVERYTHING IN ORDER IN THE

00:22:35 CARR FOR HIS SERVICE AND I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO

00:22:50 WANG WANG I CHAIR WALTON I DENY THAT MOTION PASSES WITHOUT
00:22:56 OBJECTION WITH VICE CHAIR CHERYL BEING ABSENT.
00:23:00 >> THANK YOU. MOTION CARRIES.
00:23:03 >> CONGRATULATIONS MR. CLERK PLEASE CALL ITEM NUMBER FIVE.
00:23:06 >> ITEM NUMBER FIVE IS ORDINANCE AMENDING THE
00:23:08 ADMINISTRATIVE CODE TO ESTABLISH AN OFFICE OF FOOD
00:23:11 SECURITY COORDINATION WITH A HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY CHARGED
00:23:14 WITH COORDINATING CITYWIDE EFFORTS TO ADDRESS FOOD
00:23:18 INSECURITY AMONG SAN FRANCISCO RESIDENTS PREPARING A FOOD
00:23:19 SECURITY REPORT EVERY FIVE YEARS THAT EXAMINES THE SCOPE
00:23:23 OF FOOD INSECURITY AMONG SAN FRANCISCO RESIDENTS DEVELOPING
00:23:26 AND MAINTAINING A COMPREHENSIVE UNDERSTANDING OF THE FOODS OF
00:23:30 THE CITY'S FOOD SERVICES AND RESOURCES AND COORDINATING
00:23:34 AND PLANNING STRATEGIES AND PROGRAMS TO MEET EMERGENCY
00:23:38 FOOD NEEDS. >> THANK YOU.
00:23:38 I SEE WE HAVE SUSIE SMITH WITH US HERE FROM THE DEPARTMENTS.
00:23:42 >> GOOD MORNING. SUSIE SMITH I'M DEPUTY DIRECTOR
00:23:46 FOR POLICY PLANNING AND PUBLIC AFFAIRS AT THE HUMAN SERVICES
00:23:49 AGENCY AND I'M JOINED BY MY COLLEAGUE CINDY LIN WHO IS THE
00:23:53 CITYWIDE FOOD ACCESS MANAGER AND ISA KING FROM D H.
00:23:56 >> SO I WANT TO START BY JUST ASKING WHY DO WE HAVE A NEED
00:24:00 FOR A CITYWIDE OFFICE OF FOOD COORDINATION AT THIS MOMENT?
00:24:05 >> FUNDAMENTALLY H.R. ONE HAS POSED THE BIGGEST RISK TO OUR
00:24:11 SOCIAL SAFETY NET IN DECADES OUR FOOD SYSTEM AND HEALTH CARE
00:24:16 ACCESS ARE UNDER ATTACK THROUGH H.R. ONE AND IT'S MORE
00:24:19 IMPORTANT THAN EVER THAT WE HAVE A COORDINATED RESPONSE
00:24:23 IN ADDITION, THIS PROPOSED THIS THIS PROPOSED APPROACH IS
00:24:30 IN RESPONSE TO REALLY OVER TWO DECADES OF COMMUNITY ASKING FOR
00:24:37 THE CITY TO BE MORE COORDINATED WHEN IT COMES TO FOOD SUPPORT
00:24:40 PROGRAMS. >> WE HAVE OVER NINE
00:24:43 DEPARTMENTS THAT FUND FOOD SUPPORT AND IT'S MAKES IT VERY
00:24:48 CONFUSING AND DIFFICULT FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND THE CBO
00:24:51 NETWORK TO BE ABLE TO RESPOND TO HUNGER IN OUR CITY.
00:24:56 FINALLY, PROP E'S ELIMINATION OF THE FOOD SECURITY TASK FORCE
00:25:00 LEAVES THE CITY WITHOUT A BODY TO ENGAGE COMMUNITY
00:25:03 STAKEHOLDERS AT THIS MOST CRITICAL TIME IN OUR CITY.
00:25:07 THIS ORDINANCE WILL IMPROVE SYSTEMS LEVEL COORDINATION,
00:25:11 MAINTAIN A CHANNEL FOR COMMUNITY INPUT AND STRENGTHEN
00:25:12 THE CITY'S CAPACITY TO ASSESS NEEDS AND ALIGN OUR INVESTMENTS
00:25:18 . >> SO WHAT WHAT DOES THIS
00:25:19 OFFICE DO? FIRST WE ARE WE ARE ELEVATING
00:25:22 AN EXISTING FUNCTION WITHIN HSA.
00:25:26 WE ALREADY HAVE A CITYWIDE FOOD ACCESS TEAM THAT INFORMALLY HAS
00:25:30 BEEN DOING SOME OF THIS WORK AND THIS IS A WAY TO
00:25:34 INSTITUTIONALIZE AND FORMALIZE THAT ROLE UNDER CINDY LYNN'S
00:25:38 LEADERSHIP SO WE DON'T NEED NEW STAFF WHICH I THINK IS REALLY
00:25:43 IMPORTANT AT THIS MOMENT TO EMPHASIZE AND THIS IS AN OFFICE
00:25:46 THAT WOULD BE EXPLICITLY FOCUSED ON CITYWIDE STRATEGIC
00:25:50 PLANNING IN OUR AGENCY ALIGNMENT AND DATA DRIVEN
00:25:53 POLICY AND RESOURCE ALLOCATION AND I WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT
00:25:58 THE GOAL HERE IS NOT TO TAKE OVER FUNDING FROM OTHER
00:26:01 DEPARTMENTS, DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS HAVE DIFFERENT
00:26:05 STRATEGIES AND DIFFERENT EXPERTISE WHETHER IT IS AGING
00:26:06 LENS HEALTH EQUITY, LENS, FOOD, NUTRITION FOR OUR OUR SCHOOL
00:26:12 STUDENTS BUT RATHER IT IS A WAY TO BRING THE DIFFERENT
00:26:14 EXPERTISE AND STRATEGIES TO THE TABLE TO TALK ABOUT WHAT ARE
00:26:17 THE NEEDS THAT WE'RE SEEING IN COMMUNITY, WHERE ARE
00:26:20 RESOURCES NOT ALIGNED, WHERE COULD WE DO BETTER IN TERMS OF
00:26:24 A SYSTEMIC RESPONSE TO HUNGER AND WHERE APPROPRIATE LOOK TO
00:26:28 SEE IF THERE IS DUPLICATION AND WOULD MAKE BETTER.
00:26:32 IT MAKES SENSE TO ALIGN FOR EXAMPLE WHAT WE HAVE TWO
00:26:35 DEPARTMENTS THAT FUND THE SAME CBO TO DO THE SAME WORK
00:26:40 AND THAT CBO HAS TO APPLY TO TWO DIFFERENT REQUESTS FOR
00:26:44 PROPOSALS THAT ARE NOT ALIGNED IN THE TIMING OF WHEN THEY'RE
00:26:48 RELEASED THEY HAVE TO SUBMIT TWO DIFFERENT SETS OF REPORTS.
00:26:50 >> THE METRICS ARE NOT ALWAYS ALIGNED.
00:26:54 SO AS A CITY WE CAN'T EVALUATE IMPACT IF WE'RE LOOKING AT
00:26:58 SERVICE UNITS THROUGH DIFFERENT LENSES.
00:26:59 SO YOU KNOW PART OF THE CALL FROM COMMUNITY FOR THIS IS THAT
00:27:03 THE CITY NEEDS TO BE MORE COORDINATED SO THAT IT'S NOT
00:27:06 SUCH A BURDEN FOR THEM AS WELL AS US TO BE ABLE TO AVOID IF
00:27:10 THERE IS DUPLICATION OF SERVICE AND TO BE MORE STRATEGIC
00:27:14 AND ALIGNED. >> SO THE SECOND CHANGE THAT
00:27:22 THIS ORDINANCE DOES IS THAT IT REPLACES THE BI ANNUAL FOOD
00:27:26 REPORT WITH A FIVE YEAR ASSESSMENT AND PLANNING CYCLE
00:27:32 RIGHT NOW THE REPORT THE FOOD EQUITY AND FOOD SECURITY REPORT
00:27:36 IS DUE EVERY TWO YEARS AND WE END UP IN A SORT OF CONSTANT
00:27:40 CYCLE OF COLLECTING DATA, ANALYZING DATA, CREATING
00:27:44 RECOMMENDATIONS AND THEN WE HAVE TO START THE WHOLE PROCESS
00:27:48 AGAIN AFTER TWO YEARS AND SO IT BECOMES KIND OF A RINSE
00:27:52 AND REPEAT WHERE WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO IMPLEMENT
00:27:54 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS TO TAKE ROOT
00:27:58 AND OUR FUNDING STRATEGIES ARE MULTIYEAR.
00:28:02 SO IT'S NOT WE DON'T ARE LOOKING AT HOW OUR INVESTMENTS
00:28:06 COMPARE TO NEED. WE'RE NOT SEEING A CHANGE EVERY
00:28:09 TWO YEARS. >> FURTHERMORE, NO OTHER
00:28:10 CITYWIDE NEEDS ASSESSMENT IS EVERY TWO YEARS.
00:28:13 MOST OTHER ASSESSMENTS ARE FIVE YEARS SIX YEARS.
00:28:17 THIS WILL ALIGN WITH THE TIMING OF THE NEW CITYWIDE COMMUNITY
00:28:20 NEEDS ASSESSMENT BEING LED BY DCF AND ALLOWS FOR GREATER TIME
00:28:25 TO ACTUALLY IMPLEMENT THE STRATEGIES.
00:28:28 BUT THERE WOULD BE AN INTERIM REPORT AFTER THREE YEARS AS
00:28:31 WELL AS ANNUAL BUDGET UPDATES. >> SO WE'RE NOT SAYING TO GO
00:28:35 FIVE YEARS WITHOUT ANY TOUCHPOINT BUT RATHER THE
00:28:38 COMPREHENSIVE MEANINGFUL AUTHENTIC ENGAGEMENT WITH
00:28:39 COMMUNITY THAT TAKES A LOT OF RESOURCES BOTH INTERNALLY AS
00:28:43 WELL AS WITH COMMUNITY THAT WOULD BE EVERY FIVE YEARS
00:28:46 AND THEN AFTER ANNUALLY WE'D BE DOING BUDGET UPDATES AND THEN
00:28:49 EVERY THREE YEARS WE'D DO AN INTERIM REPORT.
00:28:53 NEXT SLIDE. >> SO WHY SHOULD HSA BE THE ONE
00:28:58 TO LEAD THIS WORK FUNDAMENTALLY HSA WE ARE THE CITY SAFETY NET
00:29:05 ORGANIZATION. FOOD SECURITY IS ESSENTIAL TO
00:29:08 OUR MISSION AND WE FUND WE DIRECT NEARLY THREE QUARTERS OF
00:29:13 THE CITY'S $200 MILLION IN FOOD FUNDING AND OVERSEE OVER HALF
00:29:19 OF THE COMMUNITY BASED FEED RESOURCES.
00:29:22 AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, WE ALREADY HAVE THIS FUNCTION BUT
00:29:26 JUST NOT AS AN IN AN ELEVATED WAY TO THE CITYWIDE FOOD ACCESS
00:29:28 TEAM AND WE ARE QUICK WE HAVE A GREAT PLANNING TEAM THAT HAS
00:29:33 THE CAPACITY TO DO THE NEEDS ASSESSMENTS AND THE ANALYTICAL
00:29:35 FRAMEWORKS WITHOUT AGAIN NEEDING ANY NEW STAFF.
00:29:41 WE WENT THROUGH AN EXTENSIVE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROCESS TO
00:29:45 GET FEEDBACK ON THIS ORDINANCE. >> WE MET WITH SEVERAL
00:29:50 DIFFERENT FOOD COALITIONS FROM THE FOOD SECURITY TASK FORCE TO
00:29:54 SHAPE UP COALITION TO FACT THE SODA TAX ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO
00:30:01 DIFFERENT COMMUNITY COALITIONS FOCUSED ON DIFFERENT COMMUNITY
00:30:05 MEMBERS THE SAN FRANCISCO AFRICAN-AMERICAN FAITH BASED
00:30:09 COALITION, THE LATINO TASK FORCE API COUNCIL WE BASICALLY
00:30:12 HIT EVERY CORNER NOOK AND CRANNY OF THE CITY TO
00:30:13 REALLY VET THIS IDEA AND TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS
00:30:17 SOMETHING THE COMMUNITY WANTS AND NEEDS AND IS RESPONSIVE TO
00:30:21 WHAT THEY'VE BEEN ASKING FOR OVER OVER MULTIPLE YEARS.
00:30:25 WE HAVE LETTERS OF SUPPORT FROM THE SAN FRANCISCO MARIN
00:30:30 FOODBANK FROM FACS, FROM SHAPE UP AND MANY OTHERS THAT ARE
00:30:33 CALLING FOR THIS. AND THEN FINALLY OF COURSE WE
00:30:37 ENGAGE THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND ARE GLAD THAT SUPERVISORS
00:30:41 MANDO MIN MALKA FIELDER AND CHAN ARE ALL CO-SPONSORS
00:30:44 AND WE'VE BRIEFED ALL OF ALL OF YOUR OFFICES AS WELL.
00:30:51 >> SO THROUGH THAT PROCESS ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS THAT WE
00:30:56 HEARD FROM COMMUNITY IS THAT WITH THE ELIMINATION OF THE
00:30:59 FOOD SECURITY TASK FORCE THROUGH PROP E, THE COMMUNITY
00:31:03 FELT VERY STRONGLY THAT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO HAVE A TABLE WHERE
00:31:06 THE CITY AND COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS COULD SERVE AS
00:31:08 CHALLENGES AND SUPPORT CROSS-SECTOR SOLUTIONS.
00:31:11 >> SO WHAT WE DID WAS IN THE DECLARATIONS OF THIS ORDINANCE
00:31:16 WE REFERENCE THE CREATION OF THE FOOD SECURITY COUNCIL WHICH
00:31:22 WAS MADE THROUGH MAYORAL DIRECTIVE AND THIS WAS A WAY TO
00:31:25 STILL RESPECT THE THE INTENTION AND THE RECOMMENDATION FROM
00:31:30 PROP E OF ELIMINATING A FORMAL BROWN BODY BUT HAVING A PASSIVE
00:31:34 BODY AN ADVISORY BODY THAT CAN ADVISE THE CITY ON STRATEGY
00:31:38 AND HAVE A TABLE WHERE WE CAN LOOK ACROSS SECTOR TO ADDRESS
00:31:42 THE PROBLEMS AND COME UP WITH STRATEGIC SOLUTIONS.
00:31:46 SO THIS WILL SERVE THIS THE FOOD SECURITY TASK FORCE WILL
00:31:50 SERVE AS AN ADVISORY ROLE AND IT WILL HAVE 15 DEDICATED
00:31:56 SEATS FIVE CITY DEPARTMENTS, FIVE COMMUNITY BASED
00:31:57 ORGANIZATIONS AND THREE COMMUNITY MEMBERS.
00:32:01 >> IT WILL HELP US ASSESS TRENDS, NEEDS OUTCOMES AND BE
00:32:05 ABLE TO FACILITATE INFORMATION SHARING AND ADVISE ON THE FOOD
00:32:09 SECURITY REPORT AND SUPPORT COMMUNITY INPUT.
00:32:12 SO WE THOUGHT IT WAS AN A AN IMPORTANT RESPONSE TO COMMUNITY
00:32:19 THAT WAS ABLE TO SORT OF THREAD THE NEEDLE OF NOT HAVING
00:32:20 ANOTHER BROWN ACT BODY AND ALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS
00:32:23 ASSOCIATED WITH THAT BUT STILL HAVE A MEANINGFUL ADVISORY
00:32:27 GROUP. SO SOME OF THE FEEDBACK WE GOT
00:32:34 THROUGH THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROCESS WAS NOT ONLY
00:32:38 TO CREATE THE COUNCIL BUT TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SEATS ON
00:32:39 THE COUNCIL TO ADD CONSUMERS COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO THE
00:32:43 COUNCIL AND THE COMMUNITY HAD ALSO ASKED FOR THE INTERIM FOOD
00:32:47 SECURITY REPORT AMONG OTHER SUGGESTIONS TO STRENGTHEN THIS
00:32:50 PIECE OF LEGISLATION. >> SO WITH THAT I WANTED TO
00:32:57 TURN IT OVER TO ISAAC KING FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH
00:32:59 WHO'S JUST GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS WORK
00:33:01 FROM THE HEALTH LENS. >> GOOD MORNING, CHAIRMAN
00:33:12 WALTON. SUPERVISORS OF THIS COMMITTEE
00:33:15 MY NAME IS ISAAC KING. I AM DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF
00:33:20 COMMUNITY HEALTH WITHIN THE POPULATION HEALTH DIVISION OF
00:33:23 THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND H SERVES THE ROLE WITHIN
00:33:27 THE CITY TO PROMOTE THE ELIMINATION OF FOOD SECURITY
00:33:34 AND PROMOTE ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOODS AS A PART OF OUR EFFORTS
00:33:38 TO PREVENT NUTRITION SENSITIVE DISEASES AND PROMOTE OVERALL
00:33:42 HEALTH AND WELL-BEING AS WELL AS ADVANCING HEALTH EQUITY HAS
00:33:46 BEEN INVOLVED IN CITYWIDE FOOD COORDINATION THROUGH CITYWIDE
00:33:53 DATA REPORTING ON FOOD PROGRAMS AND CONVENING THE FOOD SECURITY
00:33:58 TASK FORCE. AS SUZY JUST MENTIONED, THE
00:34:02 DEPARTMENT HAS PROVIDED ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT FOR THE
00:34:06 FOOD SECURITY TASK FORCE SINCE IT WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2005.
00:34:14 >> AND AS YOU AS ALREADY BEEN MENTIONED IN JUNE OF THIS YEAR,
00:34:18 THE TASK FORCE'S SUNSET AND I WANT TO JUST TAKE A MOMENT TO
00:34:25 ACKNOWLEDGE OUR STAFF, MANY OF WHOM HAVE SPENT THEIR ENTIRE
00:34:29 CAREERS WORKING ON THE ELIMINATION OF FOOD INSECURITY
00:34:34 TO THANK THEM FOR THEIR EFFORTS AND FOR THEIR SERVICE TO THE
00:34:41 TASK FORCE AND ALSO TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE COMMUNITY
00:34:44 PARTNERS WHO SERVED ON OUR TASK FORCE AS WELL AND THEY SHARED
00:34:52 THEIR WEALTH OF EXPERTISE AND EXPERIENCE AS YOU HAVE SEEN
00:35:00 REFLECTED IN ANNUAL RECOMMENDATIONS PROVIDED BY THE
00:35:04 TASK FORCE TO THE BOARD AND WITH THE FORMATION OF THE
00:35:08 NEW FOOD SECURITY COUNCIL. I BELIEVE THAT THIS WILL ALSO
00:35:13 SERVE A SIMILAR ROLE AS A TASK FORCE FOR PROVIDING THE
00:35:17 NECESSARY SPACE FOR OPEN DIALOG ENGAGEMENT AND GETTING THE
00:35:24 CRITICAL INPUT THAT WE NEED FROM OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS
00:35:28 IN THE DEPARTMENT. WE ALSO HAVE A SEAT ON THE NEW
00:35:32 COUNCIL AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE TO
00:35:37 COLLABORATE WITH OUR CITYWIDE PARTNERS AND OUR COMMUNITY
00:35:41 PARTNERS AS WELL. ALSO WE HAVE SERVED THE ROLE
00:35:48 WITHIN D H OF DRAFTING THE BI ANNUAL FOOD SECURITY AND EQUITY
00:35:52 REPORT WHICH IS GATHERED DATA ON CITYWIDE FOOD SERVICES
00:36:00 AND IDENTIFIED SAN FRANCISCO POPULATIONS THAT ARE FOOD
00:36:04 INSECURE AND ANALYZE BARRIERS TO FOOD SECURITY.
00:36:08 THE DEPARTMENT FIRST RELEASED ITS FIRST ITERATION OF THIS
00:36:14 REPORT BACK IN 2023 AND IS CURRENTLY DRAFTING THE SECOND
00:36:21 REPORT. AS WAS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED
00:36:25 IN ORDER TO DRAFT THIS REPORT, DP RELIES HEAVILY ON DATA
00:36:29 PROVIDED BY HSA WHICH HOLDS THE BULK OF THE CITY'S FOOD
00:36:33 PROGRAMS AND WE HAVE HAD THE PATTERN OF A PRETTY HIGH
00:36:40 ADMINISTRATIVE BURDEN TO COLLABORATE WITH HSA IN THE
00:36:45 COLLECTION OF THIS DATA DUTY AGENCIES WILL PROVIDING THE
00:36:51 HIGH VOLUME OF BENEFIT PROGRAMS FOR ADULTS, CHILDREN
00:36:55 AND FAMILIES WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF THE CURRENT PROPOSED
00:37:02 LEGISLATION, THE DEPARTMENT WILL CONTINUE ITS ROLE
00:37:06 IN PROVIDING THE NECESSARY HEALTH EQUITY LENS
00:37:13 AND CONTRIBUTING TO THE ELIMINATION OF FOOD INSECURITY
00:37:18 AND CONTINUE OUR LONG STANDING PARTNERSHIP WITH HSA AND OUR
00:37:22 FELLOW CITY PARTNERS TO INCREASE COMMUNICATION,
00:37:26 COORDINATION AND IMPROVED EFFECTIVENESS ON FOOD PROGRAMS
00:37:30 TO BE MOST EFFECTIVE FOR ELIMINATING FOOD INSECURITY
00:37:37 IN THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO.
00:37:38 >> THANK YOU. >> I WANT TO THANK BOTH
00:37:42 DEPARTMENTS FOR THE WORK AND FOR THE PRESENTING ASIAN
00:37:45 VICE CHAIR. CHERYL THANK YOU CHAIR WALTON
00:37:49 SO TO CONFIRM THERE IS NO MONEY OUTLAY NEEDED TO FUND THIS, IS
00:37:57 THAT CORRECT? NO.
00:38:00 >> NO. AND THE WORK IS KIND OF BEING
00:38:05 DONE AD HOC RIGHT NOW. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
00:38:08 >> AND SO CAN YOU IN A OVERALL PERHAPS OVERLY SIMPLISTIC OR
00:38:13 OVERLY BLUNT WAY TELL ME WHY WE NEED LEGISLATURE TO FORMALIZE
00:38:20 THIS IF IT'S ALREADY BEING DONE BECAUSE HAVING HAVING THIS AS A
00:38:30 FORMAL ROLE GIVES LEGITIMACY WHEN WE NEED TO WORK WITH OTHER
00:38:35 DEPARTMENTS WHETHER IT'S COLLECTING DATA OR LOOKING AT
00:38:41 METRICS FOR CONTRACTED PROVIDERS OR WANTING TO ASSESS
00:38:45 NEEDS, IT'S ONE THING TO ASK DEPARTMENTS WHICH ARE OFTEN
00:38:50 WE'VE COLLABORATED WITH FOR YEARS AND WE COLLABORATE WITH
00:38:54 MANY OF OUR DEPARTMENTS BUT IT'S ANOTHER THING WHEN WE HAVE
00:38:57 KIND OF THE THE MANDATE WHERE THIS IS PART OF OUR JOB
00:39:00 SOMETHING WE NEED TO DO IT IT FORCES COLLABORATION
00:39:04 IN DIFFERENT WAY. >> SO I WOULD SAY IT'S
00:39:07 ELEVATING AN EXISTING ROLE. IT'S A LITTLE MORE WORK TO BE
00:39:12 HONEST THAN WHAT THEY'RE CURRENTLY DOING.
00:39:13 >> SO BUT WE'RE ABLE TO DO THIS WITHIN EXISTING RESOURCES
00:39:19 AND AT THIS MOMENT WHERE WE'RE FACING SUCH A FEDERAL THREAT TO
00:39:24 HAVE THE LEGITIMACY OF AN OFFICE THAT'S DEDICATED TO THIS
00:39:27 WHOSE JOB IT IS TO COORDINATE AND TO BRING STAKEHOLDERS
00:39:32 TOGETHER AND TO GET PEOPLE TO SHOW UP.
00:39:35 WE'RE ALL BUSY. WE ALL HAVE OUR MANDATES.
00:39:36 I THINK THAT SOME OF THE REASON OF WHY WE FEEL IT'S IMPORTANT
00:39:40 THAT WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, A DEDICATED CENTRALIZED OFFICE
00:39:43 THAT IS IT WHOSE YOU KNOW, IT'S LEGITIMACY PART.
00:39:47 >> AND I THINK THE OTHER PIECE OF COULDN'T HAVE A MAYORAL
00:39:50 DIRECTIVE COULDN'T HAVE ACHIEVED THIS IT I MEAN IT
00:39:54 COULD HAVE TO BE HONEST. HOWEVER, WE NEEDED LEGISLATION
00:39:57 TO CHANGE THE CADENCE OF THE REPORT AND TO SWITCH THE REPORT
00:40:02 FROM DA TO HSA AND SO IT ALIGNS WITH WE WERE ALREADY GOING INTO
00:40:09 THIS PART OF THE OR THE CODE AND FELT THAT THIS IS AN
00:40:13 IMPORTANT ADDITION AND IN ADDITION TO HAVING LIKE JUST
00:40:17 SAY DO THE REPORT I MEAN THAT'S A FUNCTION THAT IS IN THE
00:40:21 ORDINANCE NOW. SO PART OF IT IS CLEAN UP IF
00:40:25 WE'RE GOING TO SHIFT RESPONSIBILITY FROM ONE
00:40:26 DEPARTMENT TO ANOTHER TO DO THIS REPORT WE NEEDED TO ALSO
00:40:29 SAY OKAY, THERE'S AN OFFICE DEDICATED TO ACTUALLY DOING IT.
00:40:33 >> EXACTLY. YEAH.
00:40:33 I MEAN I THINK IT'S TOO BAD THAT THAT WE NEED LEGISLATION
00:40:37 TO KIND OF BREAK DOWN BUREAUCRATIC WALLS BUT I GET IT
00:40:41 AND I THINK THE THE CHALLENGE WE FACE NECESSITATE THE MOVE.
00:40:48 >> SO THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT.
00:40:49 THANK YOU VERY MUCH, CHERYL SUPERVISOR WONG THANK YOU.
00:40:56 >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.
00:40:57 I DO THINK THAT IT IS NECESSARY TO HAVE BETTER COORDINATION
00:41:01 WITH FOOD SECURITY EFFORTS. >> WHEN COVID HAPPENED I RECALL
00:41:05 JUST HAVING HAVING TROUBLE FINDING THE RIGHT SOURCE TO BE
00:41:11 ABLE TO FIGURE OUT HOW CAN WE GET RESIDENTS IN IN THE
00:41:13 DISTRICT FOOD AND HOW CAN WE WHAT'S THE BEST POINT OF
00:41:17 CONTACT AND AND JUST GETTING INFORMATION ABOUT THAT WAS VERY
00:41:23 DIFFERENT THERE ARE A LOT OF DIFFERENT SILOS AND THEN WHEN I
00:41:27 WAS AT CHILDREN'S COUNCIL WHEN THERE WAS THE FREEZE IN THE
00:41:29 SNAP FUNDING JUST TRYING TO REACH OUT TO DIFFERENT
00:41:32 ORGANIZED MISSIONS TO IDENTIFY A RESOURCE SOURCE FOR FOR OUR
00:41:40 COMMUNITIES THAT WAS THAT DIFFICULT AS AS WELL.
00:41:44 SO I THINK THIS HELPS GIVE SOME REASSURANCE THAT THAT THERE IS
00:41:48 SOME PLACE THAT PEOPLE CAN LOOK TO.
00:41:52 >> I DO HAVE SOME QUESTIONS SIMILAR TO SUPERVISE FOR
00:41:56 CHERYL. SO AS AS YOU MENTIONED THERE'S
00:41:57 NO FISCAL KNOW OF ADDITIONAL COSTS TO ESTABLISH THIS.
00:42:00 IT'S USING IT'S CREATING A A SORT OF DESIGNATION WITHIN HSA
00:42:08 AND PEOPLE THAT ARE CURRENTLY ALREADY WORKING ON THIS ARE NOW
00:42:12 FALL UNDER THIS FLOOR UNDER THIS OFFICE.
00:42:16 >> BUT IT'S WORK THAT THEY'VE ALREADY BEEN BEEN DOING IS MY
00:42:20 UNDERSTANDING CORRECT? >> CORRECT.
00:42:20 OKAY. AND WITH THE ESTABLISHMENT OF
00:42:23 THIS OFFICE, HOW MANY EMPLOYEES WOULD KIND OF FALL UNDER THIS
00:42:28 UMBRELLA WITHIN HSA? >> SO WE HAVE THREE PEOPLE
00:42:32 WITHIN THE OFFICE. WE ALSO HAVE PLANNED A PLANNING
00:42:36 DEPARTMENT WITHIN HSA AND WE HAVE A PLANNER DEDICATED TO
00:42:40 SUPPORTING THIS THIS WORK AND PARTICULARLY THE REPORT
00:42:43 AND THEN WE HAVE A CONTRACTS MANAGER THAT SUPPORTS THE
00:42:46 OFFICE GRANT MAKING AND THEN I SAW THAT THE MAYOR'S OFFICE
00:42:50 RECENTLY MOVE FORWARD OF ESTABLISHING A FOOD SECURITY
00:42:55 COUNCIL. I'M NOT SURE IF THAT'S THE
00:42:57 RIGHT TERMINOLOGY YOU GOT. >> HOW DOES THIS HOW WOULD THIS
00:42:59 OFFICE WORK WITH THAT COUNCIL? >> YES.
00:43:02 SO THIS OFFICE WOULD CO-CHAIR THE COUNCIL WITH A COMMUNITY
00:43:05 BASED ORGANIZATION AND AS THE OTHER CO-CHAIR AND IT WOULD BE
00:43:10 SO WOULD BE STAFFING THE COUNCIL SETTING THE AGENDA,
00:43:16 SOLICITING FEEDBACK, USING IT AS THE SOUNDING BOARD THAT THE
00:43:20 INTENTION OF THE COUNCILS AND SO IT WOULD IT WOULD PLAY
00:43:24 YOU KNOW IT'D BE STAFFING AND LEADING THE COUNCIL OKAY
00:43:25 AND I GUESS IS SLIGHTLY OFF TOPIC BUT WHAT WHY WOULD THE
00:43:29 COUNCIL GET ESTABLISH AND START START MEETING IF YOU KNOW WE'RE
00:43:32 AIMING FOR OCTOBER RIGHT NOW WE'RE REVIEWING WE GOT OVER 50
00:43:38 COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT APPLIED TO BE A PART OF THE COUNCIL
00:43:42 AND WE'RE REVIEWING THE MAYOR'S OFFICE IS REVIEWING THOSE
00:43:46 APPLICATIONS. WE SOLICITED THE BOARD OF
00:43:47 SUPERVISORS FOR NOMINATIONS. SO WE ARE WE'RE ANTICIPATING
00:43:50 THE FIRST MEETING WOULD BE IN OCTOBER.
00:43:53 >> OKAY. THANK YOU.
00:43:56 THANK YOU, SUPERVISOR WONG. AND AGAIN WE WANT TO THANK THE
00:43:57 DEPARTMENT SO MUCH. I THINK OBVIOUSLY THE
00:44:00 COORDINATION PIECES VERY IMPORTANT BUT I DO WANT TO MAKE
00:44:04 SURE THAT THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PIECE OF THE WORK IS
00:44:08 CONTINUED AND OF COURSE PRIORITIZE AND ALSO JUST WANT
00:44:11 TO MAKE SURE THAT BECAUSE I KNOW A LOT OF TIMES WHEN
00:44:16 THERE'S COORDINATION AND THEN SOMETIMES RESOURCES START TO
00:44:20 DECREASE. SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
00:44:24 EVERYBODY STAYS ON TOP OF MAKING SURE THAT THE THE POT
00:44:28 STAYS THE SAME IF NOT GROWS BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THE NEED
00:44:32 CONTINUES TO GROW 100%. I MEAN I THINK ONE OF THE ROLES
00:44:39 WILL BE ADVOCACY FOR INCREASED RESOURCES AT THE STATE LEVEL.
00:44:42 PROBABLY NOT GOING TO GET MUCH FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AT
00:44:44 THIS POINT BUT WILL BE WE DO NOT ANTICIPATE ANY DECREASE
00:44:50 IN RESOURCES. WE REALLY JUST WANT TO USE OUR
00:44:51 EXISTING RESOURCES AS EFFECTIVELY AS POSSIBLE TO
00:44:55 EXPAND IMPACT AND WHERE APPROPRIATE ONCE WE SEE WHAT
00:44:58 THE CAL FRESH CASELOAD LOOKS LIKE AND IF WE DO SEE A LARGE
00:45:00 DECLINE AND THERE MAY BE AN YOU KNOW, AN ASK FROM THE MAYOR'S
