1
00:00:31,790 --> 00:00:38,890
A August 27, 2026, if everybody please rise and pledge to the flag.

2
00:00:43,230 --> 00:00:50,830
To the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God,

3
00:00:50,950 --> 00:00:53,250
indivisible with liberty and justice.

4
00:01:01,260 --> 00:01:02,940
May we please have a roll call.

5
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,380
Dr. Valerie Francisco M in Chavez.

6
00:01:06,900 --> 00:01:07,460
I'm present.

7
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:11,040
Gabby Maximine.

8
00:01:11,180 --> 00:01:11,380
Here.

9
00:01:12,540 --> 00:01:13,580
Adrian Tissue.

10
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:13,960
Here.

11
00:01:15,660 --> 00:01:16,100
Natasha Oto.

12
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,000
Please, Ella Chan Luzero.

13
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,160
Okay, thank you very much.

14
00:01:22,620 --> 00:01:22,900
All right.

15
00:01:23,820 --> 00:01:27,460
Does everyone want to just take a minute to look at the minutes if you haven't already?

16
00:01:39,290 --> 00:01:42,910
I moved to approve the minutes of July 23rd.

17
00:01:43,670 --> 00:01:45,670
Okay, we have a motion, is there a second?

18
00:01:48,570 --> 00:01:49,050
Hi, second.

19
00:01:49,550 --> 00:01:50,650
Okay, all in favor?

20
00:01:51,330 --> 00:01:51,530
Hi.

21
00:01:52,090 --> 00:01:52,710
Are you opposed?

22
00:01:53,430 --> 00:01:54,130
Hearing none.

23
00:01:54,650 --> 00:01:56,070
We'll go to oral comment.

24
00:01:56,170 --> 00:01:57,750
Are there any public speakers this evening?

25
00:01:58,390 --> 00:02:00,090
There's a young man out there to see what I speak.

26
00:02:01,950 --> 00:02:02,250
Okay.

27
00:02:02,710 --> 00:02:03,830
We'll move on to communications.

28
00:02:05,430 --> 00:02:07,910
We're going to have a presentation by hip housing.

29
00:02:08,370 --> 00:02:09,150
Like Kevin Joiner.

30
00:02:09,490 --> 00:02:12,370
He's a hip housing community outreach specialist.

31
00:02:12,650 --> 00:02:13,190
Welcome, Kevin.

32
00:02:13,190 --> 00:02:13,910
Okay,

33
00:02:18,370 --> 00:02:19,850
just a start. Can everybody hear me?

34
00:02:20,330 --> 00:02:22,070
Okay, the microphone's always my trouble.

35
00:02:22,510 --> 00:02:24,550
I'm just going to be with a boat. Oh, there we go.

36
00:02:24,790 --> 00:02:25,310
How about now still?

37
00:02:25,570 --> 00:02:26,190
Yeah, great.

38
00:02:26,650 --> 00:02:29,170
First, I just want to say thank you so much for having me tonight.

39
00:02:29,330 --> 00:02:31,030
Again, my name is Kevin Joyner.

40
00:02:31,170 --> 00:02:33,790
I'm the community outreach specialist with hip housing.

41
00:02:34,150 --> 00:02:36,990
Before I do dive in tonight, again, it's a pleasure to be here.

42
00:02:37,210 --> 00:02:40,330
Before I was with hip, I was a staffer of Supervisor Canada,

43
00:02:40,630 --> 00:02:44,070
so always being back in daily city has always been great to me

44
00:02:44,070 --> 00:02:45,550
and I'm very happy to be here tonight.

45
00:02:45,550 --> 00:02:59,890
Tonight, I'll be very brief, but I am here to share some of our programs that we are offering at hip to tell you a little bit about hip as well, as well as again, to spread awareness about how crucial housing is within our county as we move forward.

46
00:03:00,410 --> 00:03:02,610
So, to start, what is it, Palcine?

47
00:03:02,830 --> 00:03:06,870
Palcine, we are a nonprofit that has been around for, I know I don't look at it, but

48
00:03:06,870 --> 00:03:08,750
around over 50 years.

49
00:03:08,890 --> 00:03:15,830
We have been in San Mateo County since 1972, and in that time we have helped workers, residents,

50
00:03:16,010 --> 00:03:20,530
seniors, find and maintain affordable housing within San Mateo County.

51
00:03:21,450 --> 00:03:24,370
We do this through a lot of our social housing programs.

52
00:03:24,610 --> 00:03:29,250
Tonight, I will go into housing readiness as well as home sharing, but we do offer a lot more

53
00:03:29,250 --> 00:03:35,210
that. I just don't want to take up your time and we also do offer our housing properties that

54
00:03:35,210 --> 00:03:39,850
people can join on our weight list at any time. I will also like to mention that we don't charge

55
00:03:39,850 --> 00:03:44,990
for any of our services as we are a nonprofit and we are trying to keep workers here local.

56
00:03:46,070 --> 00:03:50,270
Just to start our housing readiness program in power of San Mateo County,

57
00:03:50,270 --> 00:03:54,070
low income older adults who are 62 in up

58
00:03:54,070 --> 00:03:58,370
and are making about 1,800 or less per month.

59
00:03:59,190 --> 00:04:00,730
With that in mind,

60
00:04:01,530 --> 00:04:04,070
experience staff, volunteers, and interns

61
00:04:04,070 --> 00:04:07,270
will support our older adults who contact our agency

62
00:04:07,270 --> 00:04:09,450
to help them become more housing ready.

63
00:04:09,990 --> 00:04:11,230
Now, what does that look like?

64
00:04:11,710 --> 00:04:14,610
A lot of times we see our seniors sell their houses,

65
00:04:14,910 --> 00:04:16,210
they've been here for a while

66
00:04:16,210 --> 00:04:19,390
and they haven't even looked at the housing market.

67
00:04:19,390 --> 00:04:24,470
We know how overwhelming that can be, we know how stressful that can be, and we know how tires

68
00:04:24,470 --> 00:04:25,450
something that can be.

69
00:04:25,630 --> 00:04:28,410
So we wanted to take that middle person out of this.

70
00:04:28,610 --> 00:04:34,070
With that in mind, what we're trying to do with the housing readiness program is with any

71
00:04:34,070 --> 00:04:37,050
senior who is again 62 and up, 1800 or below.

72
00:04:37,350 --> 00:04:42,670
If they enter the program, we can either meet them at hip housing, we can meet them at their

73
00:04:42,670 --> 00:04:50,410
or we can meet them in between at maybe a Starbucks or at a local neutral location and we can go over

74
00:04:50,410 --> 00:04:55,970
their housing debts and budgets. We can have them look out for online scams. There's a ton of them out there

75
00:04:55,970 --> 00:05:02,610
that trick me all the time and I can't even imagine, but you know that, um, after ten five hundred dollar

76
00:05:02,610 --> 00:05:08,150
two bedroom looks great doesn't exist. But making sure our seniors are up to code on this and

77
00:05:08,150 --> 00:05:13,770
what to look for really goes an extra mile. With their permission we can also not only sign

78
00:05:13,770 --> 00:05:18,290
them up for housing applications but we can really hold their hand with on-case management

79
00:05:18,290 --> 00:05:26,570
with helping these seniors of course transition into housing that is secured and a bit agility.

80
00:05:27,090 --> 00:05:31,810
I would also say I love the contact who works housing readiness. She is from South San Francisco

81
00:05:31,810 --> 00:05:37,670
originally. Lorraine doesn't amazing job with these seniors and really helps them get

82
00:05:37,670 --> 00:05:42,790
adjusted and get into a place of living. I will like also to mention with the House

83
00:05:42,790 --> 00:05:46,550
in Readiness Program we do have a scholarship with the Navigation Center in

84
00:05:46,550 --> 00:05:51,490
Redwood City. If seniors enter that scholarship, we can help them transition outside

85
00:05:51,490 --> 00:05:57,870
of the shelter once more into the House in Readiness Program. I believe I can get

86
00:05:57,870 --> 00:06:02,070
answer for you of course, but I believe it is they would not have to, you know, be the 1800

87
00:06:02,070 --> 00:06:06,490
below or they do, but again through the scholarship we can help them transition out of the shelters.

88
00:06:07,670 --> 00:06:12,610
Tonight I would also like to go into our home sharing program. Now home sharing has been around

89
00:06:12,610 --> 00:06:17,570
if you've heard about hip housing before home sharing is our bread and butter. I mean it's been around

90
00:06:17,570 --> 00:06:23,530
since 1979 and what we do is we match providers who have rooms to rent out in their house,

91
00:06:23,530 --> 00:06:27,510
their apartment or their accessory dwelling unit, or ADUs,

92
00:06:27,570 --> 00:06:29,530
feel like we've been hearing about those a lot lately.

93
00:06:30,290 --> 00:06:33,750
And we imagine with seekers who are trying to find rooms to rent out.

94
00:06:33,910 --> 00:06:35,670
So we are kind of like matchmakers.

95
00:06:36,190 --> 00:06:37,910
Both parties can come to us.

96
00:06:38,230 --> 00:06:41,050
They would have an interview to make sure they are right for the program.

97
00:06:41,150 --> 00:06:45,390
And what I mean by that is we don't have a lot of qualifications for our providers.

98
00:06:45,690 --> 00:06:49,210
But for our seekers, we ask about 1800 coming in for this program.

99
00:06:49,370 --> 00:06:51,850
As we do, keep our rents about 2,000 in below.

100
00:06:51,850 --> 00:06:59,770
We have two amazing coordinators who have been with hip housing for very long time, Barbara and Deborah.

101
00:07:00,030 --> 00:07:05,310
They work alongside both our providers and our seekers to make sure the match is right.

102
00:07:05,710 --> 00:07:11,510
Our matches usually last about five and a half years and the people that were matching our police officers and firefighters,

103
00:07:12,210 --> 00:07:17,950
generators and baristas, I would say, as well as flight controllers right now at

104
00:07:17,950 --> 00:07:23,630
the last couple of months, because sadly 85,000 is now low income within San Mateo County.

105
00:07:24,250 --> 00:07:28,950
So I would also like to say in this, as we all probably hate traffic, the more people

106
00:07:28,950 --> 00:07:29,970
that we can...

107
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:37,420
More workers that we can keep local who don't have to commute from stocked in. The happy year I think we all are when it comes to 101.

108
00:07:39,220 --> 00:07:42,960
Again, I would also like to mention with home sharing.

109
00:07:45,500 --> 00:07:51,380
Again, we have living together agreements. They are very similar to leases, but it is of course with the provider needs in writing.

110
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:56,680
What the secret needs in writing and sometimes with our older providers, we do have ranked exchanges.

111
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:03,060
So to bring up that 1800 that I can always go down if maybe a younger provider can help the older provider

112
00:08:03,060 --> 00:08:09,620
Maybe with dishes or maybe getting driven to an appointment once or twice a week that can always be exchanged

113
00:08:10,180 --> 00:08:14,640
I will say of course, you know, we do check up about three months afterwards after a match

114
00:08:15,180 --> 00:08:18,100
You know if something does go wrong. We do help you through that

115
00:08:18,100 --> 00:08:21,980
We don't just change your name and change our business and go south for the winter

116
00:08:21,980 --> 00:08:27,940
but at the same time on the other end of the spectrum one batch got married I'm not going to say it's going to happen again

117
00:08:27,940 --> 00:08:34,040
but I always do like to bring it up once more as well with the housing readiness program

118
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:40,100
we are of course in full support with daily city we think daily city for supporting this program

119
00:08:40,100 --> 00:08:44,760
and we are really trying to spread the word about this program up here so I would really really

120
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:49,960
appreciate if you could spread the word and I am trying to get that flyer into every shop up here

121
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,880
that you might see it a lot more, or me walking around.

122
00:08:53,460 --> 00:08:57,700
Lastly, we also, of course, have properties that we own in managed.

123
00:08:57,700 --> 00:09:02,160
We own and manage about 501 units of property within San Mateo County.

124
00:09:03,020 --> 00:09:04,660
We do have a wait list for that.

125
00:09:04,660 --> 00:09:10,140
If people do want to join that wait list at any time, they can go to www.ipousing.org.

126
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,780
Go to our properties and sign up for Haven't Connect and make an account.

127
00:09:14,580 --> 00:09:17,880
Most of these properties are studios, one bedroom and two bedroom apartments.

128
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,940
and people again can join this idea at any time.

129
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:25,500
You can always give us a call at 650-348-6660.

130
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,260
I do thank you guys for your time tonight.

131
00:09:28,560 --> 00:09:32,380
I always just want to mention, you know, we have a lot of great

132
00:09:32,380 --> 00:09:36,580
just woman running our program for a long time and they always keep us on track.

133
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,380
So thank you so much for tonight and I really appreciate it again being here.

134
00:09:40,580 --> 00:09:41,000
Thank you.

135
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:43,960
Thank you for all the hard work you do there.

136
00:09:44,340 --> 00:09:47,740
These are great programs they have around the first few years.

137
00:09:47,740 --> 00:09:51,180
and they do the home sharing one is a great one for people that want to stand their home

138
00:09:51,180 --> 00:09:54,760
and bring other people in and oftentimes they're very helpful to that individual that's usually

139
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:59,360
older so it's a great program. I mean all your programs are great but I'm more familiar with that one

140
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:04,220
because I do a lot of work that's seen here so it's terrific folks. So I will say the housing readiness program

141
00:10:04,220 --> 00:10:10,100
has been around for only three years now it's our newest program but you know it is it is really thriving

142
00:10:10,100 --> 00:10:15,100
and we're really trying to of course get those seniors that really need it but yes when it comes

143
00:10:15,100 --> 00:10:21,000
the home sharing as affordable housing is yes being built. It takes time. It takes money. This is a

144
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:25,680
barely really good way to use the housing that we already have. It's a really good way to connect

145
00:10:25,680 --> 00:10:31,500
older generation with younger generation and just build connections overall. Thank you guys.

146
00:10:31,500 --> 00:10:36,200
Any comments? Yeah. I see you have a Spanish translation. Do you have a translation in the

147
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:42,080
value? I am trying very hard right now. We are trying to get some volunteers. We just got it translated

148
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:48,200
the HRP flyer to Mandarin, and we are trying to get it, I'm trying in the process of getting

149
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:53,400
it translated to Cantonese right now, but I will take that, we're trying as much as

150
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:54,100
the English language.

151
00:10:55,120 --> 00:11:00,720
In daily city there's a formidable Filipino population and many of them are aging migrants.

152
00:11:01,680 --> 00:11:09,100
And so I think like Madam Chair has thanked you for this, I think this is a huge issue in

153
00:11:09,100 --> 00:11:14,880
Filipino community in daily city and I think it would be really great if some of these

154
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,040
flyers could be in English and Tagalog.

155
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:22,020
So again, that is the process we're just a little bit slower and I will have that.

156
00:11:22,380 --> 00:11:26,540
But yes, to come, we are trying to get it as translated as fast as possible, just to make

157
00:11:26,540 --> 00:11:30,880
sure we reach every field of, of course, San Francisco County because we want to make sure

158
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,500
people can stay here, can flourish here and work here.

159
00:11:34,500 --> 00:11:39,940
And when you have that translated in Tagalog, if you could forward it to us, I would be grateful.

160
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:41,680
I would be very happy to.

161
00:11:41,820 --> 00:11:42,920
So, thank you.

162
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:44,420
Sorry, I have one more question.

163
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:50,040
Do you currently work at all with JFCS in Foster City Jewish Family and Children's Services?

164
00:11:50,460 --> 00:11:54,040
You know, we, I believe we've tried to get in contact.

165
00:11:54,820 --> 00:11:58,320
Ever since I've, I think Ben here, I don't, I'm not too sure.

166
00:11:58,480 --> 00:11:59,800
I can get that answered for you.

167
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,000
If you're not in contact, I think it'd be a great organization because they have.

168
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:15,720
A senior senior, a number of different senior programs for seniors within San Mateo County and I think that there could be a good connection there.

169
00:12:15,860 --> 00:12:17,680
I do really appreciate that. Thank you.

170
00:12:17,680 --> 00:12:18,540
Any other comments?

171
00:12:21,470 --> 00:12:26,730
Maybe not for our speaker, but your conversation really just inspired me to think.

172
00:12:26,730 --> 00:12:31,270
you mentioned ADUs, daily city lot sizes are so small that a lot of folks don't even think

173
00:12:31,270 --> 00:12:38,910
they can have an ADU and I know as the ADU laws are getting more and more relaxed or just like

174
00:12:38,910 --> 00:12:47,830
more seamless to do, I was wondering if daily city had any intention to do some like there are

175
00:12:47,830 --> 00:12:54,410
cities that have like ready-made plans that will get adopted and not have to do like housing

176
00:12:54,410 --> 00:12:59,630
inspection or anything or building code stuff if you. So yeah, what is

177
00:12:59,630 --> 00:13:04,470
stilicity doing about 80s? I can definitely find out from the

178
00:13:04,470 --> 00:13:07,750
Department of Community Development to find out what they're doing with

179
00:13:07,750 --> 00:13:11,170
80s. Yeah, because you might want to do something like this and not have enough

180
00:13:11,170 --> 00:13:15,230
space, but like oh, my garage or something. I don't know. It's just really a cool

181
00:13:15,230 --> 00:13:19,710
program and I'm like, I don't know, space. Maybe I can make space. So I will just

182
00:13:19,710 --> 00:13:23,190
share again. I'm not sure if daily city right now, but I have fully

183
00:13:23,190 --> 00:13:27,990
sponsored the housing readiness program. That is my full point for tonight, of course, getting the

184
00:13:27,990 --> 00:13:32,150
word out about that. And we're really, really grateful to have that. Of course, they have

185
00:13:32,150 --> 00:13:36,670
supported home sharing. I mean, every city within Samutel County has just been wonderful to

186
00:13:36,670 --> 00:13:43,290
us and has always stuck by with us. I will just like to mention with the ADUs that is under our home

187
00:13:43,290 --> 00:13:48,650
sharing program. And a lot of the cities that we are working with is mostly to fill their housing

188
00:13:48,650 --> 00:13:52,950
element requirement, so just to share some, again, Hillsboro,

189
00:13:53,270 --> 00:13:57,010
ATHR-10, Petola Valley, and San Bruno has also just signed on.

190
00:13:57,590 --> 00:14:00,890
So, again, it is to fill our home sharing as you also have said,

191
00:14:00,970 --> 00:14:03,970
it's been interesting to see the red tape kind of get cut

192
00:14:03,970 --> 00:14:07,590
behind with the ADUs and it's exciting to see where that is going.

193
00:14:07,830 --> 00:14:09,990
But again, I just want to make sure that's clear though,

194
00:14:10,010 --> 00:14:14,850
we don't build the ADU, but we can help, you know, we know how, you know,

195
00:14:14,970 --> 00:14:16,710
of course you could go to Facebook Marketplace or

196
00:14:16,710 --> 00:14:23,270
to find a roommate or you can come to hip housing who's been doing this in 79 and they can find that roommate for you and

197
00:14:23,270 --> 00:14:25,170
hold your hand through the whole process.

198
00:14:25,930 --> 00:14:26,570
Good point.

199
00:14:26,750 --> 00:14:27,230
Thank you, Kevin.

200
00:14:27,390 --> 00:14:29,010
For being here, we really appreciate it as well.

201
00:14:29,010 --> 00:14:32,690
Just thank you so much for having me and hearing me tonight and please, I will just lastly

202
00:14:32,690 --> 00:14:37,870
did like to say, hip housing is actually at their permanent headquarters now so we actually

203
00:14:37,870 --> 00:14:42,990
bought our own building which is really nice and we are located right across from Central Park in

204
00:14:42,990 --> 00:14:46,790
Mattel, if 1-1-1-E-5 avenue, please come by.

205
00:14:46,910 --> 00:14:48,330
You guys are all welcome to come in.

206
00:14:48,330 --> 00:14:51,170
We're still freaking out the kinks, but it's been wonderful.

207
00:14:51,410 --> 00:14:53,710
I just wanted to leave some of our flyers if that's okay.

208
00:14:53,990 --> 00:14:54,630
And thank you so much.

209
00:14:54,790 --> 00:14:56,050
Thank you so much, tonight, guys.

210
00:14:56,110 --> 00:14:57,010
I really appreciate it.

211
00:14:57,390 --> 00:14:57,790
Thank you.

212
00:14:58,070 --> 00:14:58,950
Thank you very much.

213
00:15:28,530 --> 00:15:29,610
We're going

214
00:15:32,940 --> 00:15:57,100
to move on to item number two, which is two of our subcommittees. First, we're going to start with engagement subcommittee for the November 5 event updates. And I know we got some information in our packet. Who's going to start?

215
00:15:59,460 --> 00:16:06,440
I can get us kicked off. I have not done a ton on this this month because I was on vacation

216
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:11,620
for most of the month, but I know that Lisa El has done a lot.

217
00:16:13,740 --> 00:16:15,360
So the Natalie put together

218
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:21,060
this flyer. So that's being presented for the first time. I'd love to spend some time

219
00:16:21,060 --> 00:16:28,340
just chatting through this first to see, you know, people's first impressions, any edits, anything

220
00:16:29,180 --> 00:16:36,520
that we should get rid of, anything that we should add. Obviously, I'm sure we need this translated

221
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:43,360
in a few languages to be great to get this in Spanish and to college. But as long as we first

222
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:47,640
line sort of on on on on the language and feel good about it. I

223
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:52,920
it feels a little wordy to me, like in terms of the two paragraphs, I would be my

224
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,840
only feedback. I'm not I'm not sure they're necessary.

225
00:16:58,860 --> 00:17:01,000
But other than that, I think

226
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:06,800
visually it it's good. I'd maybe get rid of one of the paragraphs. That's my only

227
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,660
feedback. Well I think I think you're probably right. I mean it does spell it out

228
00:17:10,660 --> 00:17:15,460
or clearly, but up here it shows what all those things are that were said down here.

229
00:17:15,580 --> 00:17:20,100
So it could make it a little cleaner and then you have join on the inaugural speakers

230
00:17:20,100 --> 00:17:26,100
series, which I think is really important that they know this is our first and I guess

231
00:17:26,100 --> 00:17:30,560
one of the questions I have too, because we've got the different areas, expert panel resource

232
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:36,640
booths, community connections, support and awareness, do we know who these expert panel

233
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:42,420
are going to be yet or the resource boost? Do you have a lot of who the expert panel resource

234
00:17:42,420 --> 00:17:46,560
boost community connections and support awareness? We have those sort of locked in yet?

235
00:17:47,780 --> 00:17:56,280
I have contacted 2DAs this in case the other VA or one of the VA can make it. So the DA on our case,

236
00:17:56,820 --> 00:18:04,010
I actually contacted with him and he is interested to join. So either either one of them could come,

237
00:18:04,010 --> 00:18:08,590
at least we have a the irreversentation from the Femme Day County, but I'm waiting for him

238
00:18:08,590 --> 00:18:14,290
to, you know, suffer, solidify it, you know, yeah. So I, you know, like we were talking

239
00:18:14,290 --> 00:18:22,410
about it, I'm giving them until maybe September to finalize it. It's, you know, it's, I just

240
00:18:22,410 --> 00:18:32,010
have to, it's a great day about it. We're sure. Yeah. And then I had to confirm the two victims

241
00:18:32,010 --> 00:18:39,150
one is a number of LGBT community and the other one is, yeah so I got two of them already

242
00:18:39,150 --> 00:18:46,570
and then I'm actually asking for another one which is I don't know if you guys are familiar with

243
00:18:46,570 --> 00:18:52,810
you know the case that Lex is gave case in someone, a bunch of us the county, it's an

244
00:18:52,810 --> 00:18:58,390
install case. Can you turn your speakers on? I think that's what we're missing. I can't

245
00:18:58,390 --> 00:19:05,190
There I go, sorry, because I always thought that I don't need them like any more than I thought to.

246
00:19:05,950 --> 00:19:14,290
Yeah, so I was actually asking him, you know, it's, well, it's actually a case, you know,

247
00:19:14,390 --> 00:19:15,810
you know, you connect with the domestic violence.

248
00:19:16,010 --> 00:19:20,790
It was a January of 2022 case in Contra Costa County.

249
00:19:21,050 --> 00:19:27,050
It's the Alexis Gabe story or the case, which happened I know the father, which is the victim.

250
00:19:27,050 --> 00:19:35,170
so it wasn't a soul of case, so I told, you know, I invited him to come and speak up and

251
00:19:35,170 --> 00:19:41,590
see what happened to the case and what went wrong because there's a lot. So that's the one

252
00:19:41,590 --> 00:19:48,530
we were talking about for writing the case to her. So I contacted him about it and see if he can speak

253
00:19:48,530 --> 00:20:17,010
as well. So, and then we have on August 31st, right Gabby, we have like a Zoom meeting with the CEO of the Corag group, which is

254
00:20:17,010 --> 00:20:23,630
everything with all of them and then I didn't add to the chair. We do have a form, the next

255
00:20:23,630 --> 00:20:28,530
item behind the fire that this might be able to help confirm some of the speakers. It's

256
00:20:28,530 --> 00:20:33,890
in draw form, but it's a template to at least try to confirm who would like to participate.

257
00:20:34,410 --> 00:20:37,570
So we might be able to get more confirmed once this goes out.

258
00:20:38,130 --> 00:20:42,730
And I did mention a Gabby that I did talk to the police chief and he's going to have someone

259
00:20:43,150 --> 00:20:49,710
from their domestic violence unit or if they're not available and have a captain and he'll probably be there himself.

260
00:20:49,950 --> 00:20:53,410
So there will be somebody from Daily City that will be able to be on the panel.

261
00:20:53,950 --> 00:20:57,550
I told them there's probably a panel because you'd have something from the DA, police department,

262
00:20:57,690 --> 00:21:00,470
and you're having some kind of a specific talk about specific case.

263
00:21:01,210 --> 00:21:06,850
And the reason I thought it'd be good to have Daily City is then they could talk about what they decide that what they're doing here.

264
00:21:07,850 --> 00:21:09,870
So, you know, part of our role is to see what they're doing.

265
00:21:09,870 --> 00:21:16,170
or anything we think, we're not hearing that we want to hear and have people ask questions

266
00:21:16,170 --> 00:21:20,150
so they can see if there's something we're missing in what we're doing here in our own

267
00:21:20,150 --> 00:21:25,530
city. So that adds a third person in that panel if you know there's a hungry panel

268
00:21:25,530 --> 00:21:32,270
and people you want to touch it. This is really great and I appreciate all the hard work.

269
00:21:32,410 --> 00:21:38,110
I think this is such an important topic and it really needs to be illuminated and just be a more

270
00:21:38,110 --> 00:21:44,490
normal thing to talk about. I do want this form is awesome and I hope that we get it out

271
00:21:44,490 --> 00:21:54,590
and I can spread the word to. The speakers we have so far seem to lean really heavily in a police

272
00:21:54,590 --> 00:22:01,770
or like justice-minded. Is it possible to maybe really push for healthcare professionals or

273
00:22:02,710 --> 00:22:10,290
or therapists or women, I think that's the hope of talking to the Korra, because I think

274
00:22:10,290 --> 00:22:18,470
they have a lot of resources, so I mean that's my goal in that, so I think that there's

275
00:22:18,470 --> 00:22:23,970
the first set of speakers who are people who have personal experience, the second set

276
00:22:23,970 --> 00:22:29,710
of speakers that are let's adjust this oriented, and then the third set of speakers that

277
00:22:30,180 --> 00:22:37,220
Talking about resources and support, I mean, that was sort of what the, so I agree with you.

278
00:22:38,420 --> 00:22:39,180
So that sounds great.

279
00:22:40,340 --> 00:22:45,460
You're talking about three different panels, or you just sort of some will do speed direct speakers, versus being on a panel.

280
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,320
I mean, we have to look at the timing of that.

281
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,760
Well, and so I think that's part of, I mean, we have three hours.

282
00:22:50,580 --> 00:22:55,280
Right. So I think that there's, I mean, I'm not, I don't think it'd be like one hour, one hour, one hour.

283
00:22:55,280 --> 00:23:06,240
But like, you know, maybe like, three like 30 minute panels where, you know, each person gets, you know, five to ten minutes to talk and then there's some question and answer.

284
00:23:06,780 --> 00:23:14,740
So like, you know, from five to five, 30 people are getting settled from from five to thirty to seven.

285
00:23:14,740 --> 00:23:25,860
We have, you know, the various panel discussions and then from seven to eight, there's sort of, you know, people are whatever resources we have, snacks and, you know,

286
00:23:25,940 --> 00:23:26,340
schmoozy.

287
00:23:26,660 --> 00:23:28,760
Are you thinking about trying to finish my last question?

288
00:23:28,940 --> 00:23:37,380
Are you thinking of having a main speaker, like sort of overall breadth and depth of domestic violence and to kick it off?

289
00:23:37,380 --> 00:23:46,320
On that note, I think also, since we have multiple vantage points, I would suggest a more

290
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:53,400
round table discussion, maybe putting a question out there from the different perspectives

291
00:23:54,360 --> 00:24:06,440
from survivors to police and then healthcare and organizations, that might be able to have an actual

292
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:11,920
community conversation as you have here, rather than like one person doing like a keynote

293
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:18,720
and then everyone contributing sort of disjointed separate talks, just something for y'all to

294
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:26,900
think about. I guess my only reservation to that would be that then somebody needs to

295
00:24:26,900 --> 00:24:35,940
that conversation. So I don't know if we have that person identified, if we have somebody

296
00:24:35,940 --> 00:24:43,140
who would participate in that way. I mean, it could be one of us. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

297
00:24:49,100 --> 00:24:56,040
And even to us, like, we could help you put those, or, you know, review them. I guess my

298
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:02,400
like do you feel have you mediated conversations before have you participated in something like this?

299
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,680
Well the only thing is you have to read a question, right?

300
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:06,420
That's the only thing.

301
00:25:06,860 --> 00:25:10,100
If that's all you're thinking just somebody to sort of

302
00:25:11,140 --> 00:25:12,280
like a moderate question.

303
00:25:12,740 --> 00:25:15,640
I don't even know if my mind like, you know, like,

304
00:25:15,740 --> 00:25:18,160
because I was thinking that the panel's right there

305
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,660
and then, I mean, community and everybody, you just have, you know,

306
00:25:21,660 --> 00:25:26,860
or just write a question or pass on the mic to somebody who wanted to speak up and ask

307
00:25:26,860 --> 00:25:36,140
question to the panel. That's like a Q&A portion which is totally great but what I was

308
00:25:36,140 --> 00:25:46,280
thinking is that someone is asking for a particular theme like around like what is considered

309
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:58,680
domestic violence or intimate partner violence and then the panelists could address that and then that moderator could maybe, you know, say, okay, great. Thank you

310
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:07,840
you know, make sure everyone gets a chance to speak. There's a little time keeping and then move on to the next question or theme.

311
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:13,340
Because if we're marketing it, if we're marketing it, marketing it as a community conversation,

312
00:26:15,140 --> 00:26:17,500
then it should feel like a conversation.

313
00:26:18,380 --> 00:26:20,200
Maybe we change the marketing.

314
00:26:21,140 --> 00:26:25,760
My concern is, I don't feel equipped to, I would feel equipped.

315
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:30,960
Okay, so you want to, and I have, I have done it before, I'm happy to work with Lizelle to do it.

316
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:35,680
Okay, Lizelle also because you have relationships with somebody of the panelists, I think

317
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,880
that it would be a really beautiful way

318
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,540
to have a conversation since they're already warm to you

319
00:26:40,540 --> 00:26:42,860
and your knowledge of their work.

320
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,420
And I think you'd do great, and how are you gonna learn

321
00:26:45,420 --> 00:26:46,320
if you don't try?

322
00:26:46,540 --> 00:26:46,780
I agree.

323
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:48,400
But the only thing I'm trying to avoid

324
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,440
is actually being personal, like my own question.

325
00:26:52,820 --> 00:26:52,960
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

326
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:53,480
Yeah, yeah.

327
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,380
When you're in charge of the questions,

328
00:26:55,820 --> 00:26:57,320
you don't have to answer anything you don't want to.

329
00:26:58,120 --> 00:27:00,360
So I'm happy to back you up, you know,

330
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:05,060
to help you with the questions and get prep for it.

331
00:27:05,060 --> 00:27:10,460
So with a third person on the subcommittee, like, do I need to step off the subcommittee?

332
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:12,920
Like how do we manage it with three people now?

333
00:27:13,120 --> 00:27:16,820
I wouldn't join the subcommittee. I'd volunteer for the task to help Luzelle.

334
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:17,780
Oh, in the event.

335
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:19,120
Okay. Sounds good.

336
00:27:19,300 --> 00:27:21,320
Doesn't the event. I'm clear.

337
00:27:21,620 --> 00:27:26,040
You know, I think what might be helpful in the beginning is maybe we work up some of those questions.

338
00:27:26,340 --> 00:27:27,740
So you know what the questions are.

339
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:31,740
Right. You're going to cover a variety of issues around domestic violence.

340
00:27:31,980 --> 00:27:33,460
And you have all those experts there.

341
00:27:33,460 --> 00:27:37,760
So when you have that round table, I don't think that's a bad idea at all.

342
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:42,400
What I do think is I almost think you need a keynote speaker to kick it all off.

343
00:27:42,740 --> 00:27:46,060
Then you have the round table, and then you have the resources.

344
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:51,960
So if you knew someone, I went to one of them, it wasn't cool, I can't think of the

345
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:57,180
name of the group, and it was in coma, and one of the council members had been through

346
00:28:00,120 --> 00:28:03,840
and she kicked off this event that they did around the mess.

347
00:28:03,860 --> 00:28:06,600
This was years ago, and she herself was a victim.

348
00:28:07,360 --> 00:28:10,800
It was well done because it isn't that alley.

349
00:28:11,260 --> 00:28:12,480
Alice, that was it.

350
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,480
And so it was really a great way to have someone kick it off

351
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,320
to kind of frame the evening.

352
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:19,060
And this is what I went through.

353
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,800
And then you go into this panel discussion

354
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,360
and have the questions ahead of time

355
00:28:24,360 --> 00:28:27,120
and have all these experts talking about it.

356
00:28:27,120 --> 00:28:33,660
And then, I'm using her as an example, it doesn't have to be her, someone might, you know, someone else that might want to do that.

357
00:28:34,120 --> 00:28:40,940
But then you do this sort of roundtable discussion, question answers, and maybe some questions for the audience after we do our question.

358
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:42,840
And then you do your resources.

359
00:28:43,260 --> 00:28:48,900
And you know, you're also going to have refreshments while they do the resource, and then that takes up the three hours.

360
00:28:49,100 --> 00:28:57,040
By the time you check people in, you know, that's, you know, and this, this panel might be more of an hour because you're dealing with all, you know,

361
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:02,840
instead of the half hour, half hour, half hour, it could easily be an hour, maybe even more.

362
00:29:03,580 --> 00:29:07,780
You just don't want it to go too long, people who's interested to say an hour with all

363
00:29:07,780 --> 00:29:09,960
those resources would be reasonable.

364
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:15,920
And we have to set the timeframe, too, you know, and I think it's nice that you'll offer

365
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,640
to help, because I think we all have to be sort of hands on deck here, because this is a lot

366
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,160
of work between now and over and fifth.

367
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:26,500
So whatever we do, we need to be helping the committee, like if I need to call somebody

368
00:29:26,500 --> 00:29:31,200
I'm happy to call. You know, we're not doing anything, we're doing the practice, just offered

369
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,280
to do something like, do you did? I don't think that's an issue at all.

370
00:29:36,410 --> 00:29:40,390
Just thought, then about keynote speakers, do we want to find a keynote speaker?

371
00:29:40,690 --> 00:29:47,410
I don't know if we need one in the formal sense. I think, like, even just hearing why you guys

372
00:29:47,410 --> 00:29:52,850
were moved to have this event and just like a quick five minute intro or maybe gather

373
00:29:52,850 --> 00:29:59,330
something to frame it, but I do think it's really interesting when I've seen really good panels.

374
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:16,760
Kind of assembled. It's really neat to hear four angles to that question, and I think the people that we're bringing in have such unique vantage points on the issue that will get really interesting deep conversations.

375
00:30:17,620 --> 00:30:28,330
And as a, as a, as a attendee, I'm always more into the lots of people talking than one person being and being talked at, but I think that's just like a

376
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:36,020
preference versus like uh I don't know what that's just my preference um it doesn't

377
00:30:36,020 --> 00:30:39,400
matter you can you know it could be someone somebody has to frame the evening like

378
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:43,960
mm-hmm yeah like I can travel yeah so maybe if whoever came up with it if they maybe you

379
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:49,680
want to do the intro or you want to do that you know somebody to talk about how we got this to be

380
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:54,720
our first and our speakers and why you thought it's so important and sort of lay the framework

381
00:30:54,720 --> 00:31:04,740
I like that. I'm open to actually speaking and doing the intro. My experience in terms of my

382
00:31:04,740 --> 00:31:12,880
survivorship was being a witness to a domestic violence event when I was a child, so that was

383
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:20,160
very formative and they're traumatizing. So it does feel relevant, so I'm happy to do the intro.

384
00:31:23,820 --> 00:31:28,180
Yeah, I mean, I'm just saying these things so if you want to outline sort of the evening,

385
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:34,660
you know, like I said, we don't have a lot of time, so we can kind of sounds like we're sort of outlining it here.

386
00:31:35,180 --> 00:31:40,480
And now the key is to get all the speakers that you think will think that breath and depth of what we need to have.

387
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:45,960
Yeah, I think when I spoke to one of, you know, because I was, when it was one of this speaker as a victim,

388
00:31:46,540 --> 00:32:13,900
They had like a time in front of me and they gave me like five minutes to speak and, you know, to show my experience because what the, you know, like when we were over there we were talking about experiences and then they were like four panels and then they introduced themselves and what they do and what can do to help and then, you know, they have time, you know, and all, you know, for all of us.

389
00:32:13,900 --> 00:32:17,960
So, and then after that is the Q&A, so I don't know if you need it.

390
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,840
I think she's talking about something else though.

391
00:32:21,220 --> 00:32:26,680
Because what I heard, what I heard was, I'll say, was each person have five minutes to speak.

392
00:32:27,620 --> 00:32:29,220
And then a Q&A.

393
00:32:29,620 --> 00:32:32,640
So, I'm trying to make sure that we're like locked in.

394
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:33,080
No, still.

395
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:38,840
What I was hearing is it's still a panel, but just the introductions and the wire here for each person.

396
00:32:38,940 --> 00:32:39,180
I see.

397
00:32:39,180 --> 00:32:39,960
That's like the question.

398
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:56,000
Yeah, so we're okay in five minutes. Oh for the release. It's just, yeah, if you say that because if you say three, they might go five, but if you give them five, but you just kind of tell them a little bit of their background and so everyone gets a sense and then with a queue and they can do their part.

399
00:32:56,360 --> 00:33:09,940
Yeah, it makes mostly the Q&A is not for the victims. It's for the, you know, for the justice, for the police department and for the non, you know, for the agency. So those are, you know, the Q&A is not for the victims.

400
00:33:09,940 --> 00:33:14,260
I, again, I think she sang something else with the idea of

401
00:33:14,260 --> 00:33:14,520
that.

402
00:33:14,820 --> 00:33:15,940
No, no.

403
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:16,520
Oh.

404
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,180
So, like, what Natasha was saying, right?

405
00:33:19,380 --> 00:33:22,260
Like, if we have, let's say, five speakers.

406
00:33:22,940 --> 00:33:25,080
Okay, so I see your point, Lizelle.

407
00:33:25,300 --> 00:33:27,960
I think survivors should have a little bit more time

408
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:29,720
because it is different, right?

409
00:33:29,940 --> 00:33:32,020
We can't, if we ask the question,

410
00:33:33,140 --> 00:33:36,140
how do you define, or what can someone do

411
00:33:36,140 --> 00:33:38,100
if they're experiencing domestic violence,

412
00:33:38,100 --> 00:33:45,120
The survivors will have a different answer than the police, then someone from Cora or something like that.

413
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,340
But it's just the same thing.

414
00:33:49,060 --> 00:33:53,960
We ask folks one question that everyone in the panel can address,

415
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,980
and then, you know, we do that maybe for three rounds.

416
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:04,840
One of those rounds can you describe your experience and your relation to the issue of domestic violence?

417
00:34:05,620 --> 00:34:10,560
big and open like that, so survivors can talk about their own experience and the DA can talk

418
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:15,260
about theirs and then Korra can talk about theirs. Then the next thing would be another

419
00:34:15,260 --> 00:34:22,300
question that we could come up with together and you won't have to do anything like bringing

420
00:34:22,300 --> 00:34:27,040
all the answers together. You could just say thank you so much our next question that we give these

421
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:31,480
to the panelists ahead of time, right? Here are the three questions and those three questions

422
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:37,180
you'll have five minutes to address over the five of you, right? And then they would be ready

423
00:34:37,180 --> 00:34:41,700
for that with their notes, and all you would have to do is kind of walk them through those

424
00:34:41,700 --> 00:34:43,460
things. Those questions.

425
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,800
So one of those would almost send us some way, be it some self introduction. Absolutely.

426
00:34:48,300 --> 00:34:50,680
Yeah, I think that would be the same thing, but in a different form.

427
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:56,080
So, but I think you'll probably need more information. I think you're going to need one, two

428
00:34:56,080 --> 00:35:00,480
questions if you do an hour's worth. If you can find it. But those are the things you can think

429
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:06,520
What do you think we want to hear? What are we looking for if we think it's something we can help work on for the future?

430
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:10,760
That's kind of way and it also depends on how many speakers you would have.

431
00:35:11,260 --> 00:35:24,680
So if you have eight speakers and three rounds of, you know, every person, every, you know, eight people describing their relationship to domestic violence, that's going to, that's already an hour.

432
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:28,920
You know, I mean, I'm just sticking around five, but yeah, if you get more panelists and

433
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:30,840
yeah, changes the timing and the number.

434
00:35:31,020 --> 00:35:32,180
Yeah, some of them are back up.

435
00:35:32,260 --> 00:35:34,000
Just in case the other one doesn't come.

436
00:35:34,620 --> 00:35:35,080
Oh, okay.

437
00:35:35,900 --> 00:35:37,340
What was the name of the other speaker?

438
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:41,900
So to you and then there was someone else that you said it has a confirmed, I mean, I didn't

439
00:35:41,900 --> 00:35:42,920
have it in your email.

440
00:35:44,140 --> 00:35:46,820
Yo, one of them is Marianne Lason.

441
00:35:46,980 --> 00:35:50,140
She's a victim and she's a business owner and they're Lee City.

442
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:51,740
I don't know if you guys know her.

443
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:53,020
Pressed the homelombs.

444
00:35:53,820 --> 00:36:14,020
Yeah, so they get like, and then the other one that confirm is actually, well, I have to get his full name, but I've known him, he's a makeup artist, he's named his day, and he's the member of LGBT community too, he lives in daily city as well.

445
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:16,880
Yeah, so those are the two, yeah.

446
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:22,220
It's just, do you mention Korra also have you talked to them on Monday?

447
00:36:22,380 --> 00:36:25,720
On Monday. Yeah, we have a committee with a Monday. Yeah, okay.

448
00:36:25,740 --> 00:36:28,660
And then you're waiting to hear back from

449
00:36:28,660 --> 00:36:32,060
Gwyn Gave and Lucas King. Yes.

450
00:36:32,740 --> 00:36:35,220
And then process Francisco process too.

451
00:36:35,260 --> 00:36:36,060
In the do you?

452
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,940
Yeah, because the day Francisco process,

453
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:45,180
because he's more on supporting the Filipino community, but he said,

454
00:36:46,460 --> 00:36:52,480
He's, you know, like he's more in a different cases than domestic violence. There is an

455
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:57,760
a de-a department that actually handled more on domestic violence. That's why I reach out to

456
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:03,160
Lucas King because he was the one who actually handled our case. So and I, you know, he responded

457
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:08,860
to me that I'll get back with you on it. Yeah. Does anybody know the health health provider you

458
00:37:08,860 --> 00:37:11,160
I mentioned that as a potential.

459
00:37:11,660 --> 00:37:13,300
Oh, yeah, for say, for sending this thing.

460
00:37:13,300 --> 00:37:14,120
Oh, got you.

461
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:15,340
Like, it's gotten more Kaiser.

462
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:16,240
Like, it's okay.

463
00:37:16,660 --> 00:37:19,820
I have a question, though, for I can, for Natalie.

464
00:37:20,720 --> 00:37:24,680
Do we have, like, I know that this is, this is very good,

465
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:29,960
but like an email, an invitation to, like, I wanted to,

466
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:37,060
formally invite them in the email like us came from the city. You know what I mean?

467
00:37:37,300 --> 00:37:41,280
Like because I don't want to be like my event or something. You know what I mean?

468
00:37:41,380 --> 00:37:44,840
I'm inviting him like it's just a random, yeah.

469
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:48,320
Like the language to put in the email. Yes.

470
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,600
This is an attachment. Yes.

471
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,560
I know they can complete this and then send it to you.

472
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:57,340
I can travel something. Thanks. I was going to do it, but I'm quite as well.

473
00:37:57,340 --> 00:38:08,220
Yes. Do you want to send it? Do you want Natalie to send it? Oh, Natalie can send it. That will be good. I can because I have their emails. I got their emails. So I can invite them for a minute.

474
00:38:13,700 --> 00:38:20,920
So then they send that we have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

475
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:23,120
Do you put DCPD?

476
00:38:23,500 --> 00:38:24,640
Yes, six.

477
00:38:24,980 --> 00:38:30,880
So that's six panelists without any health care folks.

478
00:38:32,060 --> 00:38:34,440
Ideally, we have two or three of those.

479
00:38:34,900 --> 00:38:36,640
So that'd be like eight or nine people.

480
00:38:38,660 --> 00:38:43,720
So when I've moderated before, even like, ten people,

481
00:38:44,220 --> 00:38:46,560
the first one, you can be, and I'm sure,

482
00:38:47,100 --> 00:38:49,040
Valerie, and when you work on these questions,

483
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:52,800
Then you can have questions for specific people like break it out not everyone needs to answer

484
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:56,240
I just question that's actually a good common thing to everyone wants to answer

485
00:38:56,240 --> 00:39:01,440
But then moderating you're like for you for these to for the health care and then you just kind of

486
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:06,900
Section it off and I think once you get the final RSVP's that will be when you design it and yes

487
00:39:06,900 --> 00:39:08,040
You guys know how to do so

488
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,560
Everything's planable once you get those final locked in

489
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:18,460
I'm happy happy to check with the same material candy health department on a health provider

490
00:39:19,720 --> 00:39:30,300
I mean, they see a lot of people through the emergency room, they see a lot of it, so it might be a good way to find out who handles, who is it at the county that handles folks that have come through.

491
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:48,520
It might be at the emergency room, doctor, I know, but somebody's handling it, so I can check that out and see if there's someone specific or a couple of them, so we could get one of them to come and talk to us about what they've seen over time and what they're trying to provide for them and they get there.

492
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:52,260
What the follow-through is, things like that. I mean, I'll see what I come up with.

493
00:39:52,940 --> 00:39:59,020
We'll ask Korra on Monday, too. If there's anyone specific that they work with, or have some sort of connection.

494
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:04,540
Oh, sure. Yeah, they might know specifically. I can just, I just know that some people have to help the problem talk to.

495
00:40:05,740 --> 00:40:07,420
So, um, okay.

496
00:40:08,860 --> 00:40:14,260
Is there anything else you need to just share? Have we talked about logistics or anything like that, yeah?

497
00:40:14,260 --> 00:40:21,940
Yeah, one of my questions was just on that just to get back to the flyer. I did hear that we should remove that second pair

498
00:40:23,140 --> 00:40:31,060
Sorry, I just wanted to just confirm that first. Okay, that'll be removed and then as far as the little icon for resource booths

499
00:40:31,900 --> 00:40:32,740
Resource booths

500
00:40:33,260 --> 00:40:44,060
Is that something that you'd like the speakers or the presenters to have access to for logistics in the

501
00:40:44,060 --> 00:40:47,640
the police department or Alice, you know, whoever's going to be.

502
00:40:47,660 --> 00:40:53,420
Even if they're not speakers, if we know people to have resources towards this, they could be there at the table.

503
00:40:53,580 --> 00:40:56,120
Maybe they aren't going to be the speakers, but they might have resources.

504
00:40:56,700 --> 00:41:00,740
Yeah. I think that's sort of the next step of this.

505
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:06,780
Like we'll talk to Cora on Monday, see if there's other organizations that we reach out to.

506
00:41:06,780 --> 00:41:14,920
ideally we have like four or five resource tables and then a snack table.

507
00:41:16,100 --> 00:41:22,100
The resource table questions on the farm too, so maybe people will like often so only that.

508
00:41:22,780 --> 00:41:26,860
I think the key is sending this to the right people, right?

509
00:41:27,500 --> 00:41:29,620
And I'll try to identify those first.

510
00:41:36,450 --> 00:41:41,510
In terms of our meeting on Monday for tomorrow, do we have to wait until the next meeting

511
00:41:41,510 --> 00:41:46,550
to report on that or can we send out an email saying we talked to them and like here

512
00:41:46,550 --> 00:41:48,830
the next steps we're going to take?

513
00:41:49,250 --> 00:41:50,890
I think you can provide that in an email.

514
00:41:51,510 --> 00:41:52,190
I've been summary.

515
00:41:52,670 --> 00:41:56,790
And I can also summarize what we've discussed today and then also just make sure if you

516
00:41:56,790 --> 00:41:59,530
want to send me that information, I can include it in that.

517
00:41:59,590 --> 00:42:03,370
So you're getting one email with your updates and then just a summary of tonight.

518
00:42:03,370 --> 00:42:09,270
I mean, I might hear something from someone, but then you might hear from chorus, we might throw some names to say here.

519
00:42:09,270 --> 00:42:18,510
We've talked to this person, this person, this person, just so, you know, we don't bomb our due, we can give you the information and just gives us something to all have the information.

520
00:42:18,730 --> 00:42:22,530
It's not like we're voting on anything, we're just providing information.

521
00:42:25,220 --> 00:42:26,140
You've agreed with us, Rose?

522
00:42:28,240 --> 00:42:29,580
I want to make sure they attorney's happy.

523
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:32,520
Okay.

524
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:39,200
I have a few comments on the flyer, but maybe I could just share, just like some, if we're

525
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:47,860
going to delete that second paragraph, I mean, because if we can make the date time a little

526
00:42:47,860 --> 00:42:52,960
bit bigger, then maybe have the women's commission of City of Daily City into that like one

527
00:42:52,960 --> 00:43:02,500
of these opaque circles to the left of it, just so we can have that as a bigger kind of

528
00:43:02,500 --> 00:43:05,780
But that's it. And I'm happy to give my notes to you, Lair.

529
00:43:07,720 --> 00:43:12,880
And that sort of leads me to, you know, we're opening this up to the community, but how are we doing the outreach?

530
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:18,500
We're who are we going to? Um, so that's that's going to make a difference.

531
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:26,240
It'll definitely be on the daily city website and all of their social media in addition to the human resources department social media and anyone

532
00:43:26,240 --> 00:43:28,840
and I'll see you'd like me to send this to you.

533
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:31,660
Yeah, we do all the commissions, all the commissions,

534
00:43:33,020 --> 00:43:35,080
and you mentioned the Chamber of Commerce.

535
00:43:35,500 --> 00:43:37,480
Like, I think there's a list of like,

536
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:38,560
I'm on the list, right?

537
00:43:38,660 --> 00:43:41,580
So I think we're all on a list of when stuff happens,

538
00:43:41,780 --> 00:43:45,080
we get invited to like the flag raisings and things like that.

539
00:43:45,300 --> 00:43:49,640
So that, that, that, and there's a lot of different groups.

540
00:43:49,740 --> 00:43:52,260
We'd have to think about like, PBRC is one.

541
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:54,980
There's a lot, we have to think about all the different groups

542
00:43:54,980 --> 00:44:01,740
that exists as many as we can at least, and that might be something that you could get

543
00:44:01,740 --> 00:44:06,460
from the City Manager's office because we have different events for different groups and

544
00:44:06,460 --> 00:44:13,780
things like that. There might be a list of all those different groups and at least get the

545
00:44:13,780 --> 00:44:22,140
flyers to them. When does the next daily city wire come out? Can we get it started putting it

546
00:44:22,140 --> 00:44:32,140
and like towards the top because the daily city wires becoming like CVSVC. So, if we move it up to the top, that'd be great.

547
00:44:32,140 --> 00:44:32,200
That'd be great.

548
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:34,100
I can find out.

549
00:44:35,900 --> 00:44:40,140
Well, there's the newsletter that we get mailed, so that's one.

550
00:44:40,420 --> 00:44:47,400
But then there's the email version of it, which has become like a CVSVC that's like a lot of different words.

551
00:44:48,060 --> 00:44:54,320
This and this and this and this partnership and this and recycle your e-waste and that it's like it's like it's like never ending

552
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:58,440
So be great to get this like towards the top because I think people's attention fans are pretty

553
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:06,060
Chamber, they put their list out of all the events, and this is not the Chamber of

554
00:45:06,060 --> 00:45:07,020
Ants, they list a lot of things.

555
00:45:07,020 --> 00:45:07,720
A lot of things.

556
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:11,000
Yeah, getting this to foolish would be great.

557
00:45:11,140 --> 00:45:12,800
And maybe get the fires at the library?

558
00:45:13,240 --> 00:45:13,580
Yep.

559
00:45:16,500 --> 00:45:17,540
And the senior center.

560
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:20,860
I mean, that would be a good one. All those are the community centers.

561
00:45:21,420 --> 00:45:23,600
We can definitely enter office this to all the departments.

562
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:25,060
Regretion libraries.

563
00:45:25,580 --> 00:45:26,580
Okay, great.

564
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:31,900
It's another plate of not related to this, but we want to make sure that the

565
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:37,940
And that, and the, what is it, in B-shore? What is it called?

566
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:39,520
A little B-shore community center.

567
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:41,080
Oh, is it? Oh, is it? B-shore, yeah.

568
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:43,340
Yeah, and then you have Lincoln Park too.

569
00:45:43,580 --> 00:45:44,440
Yeah, and Lincoln Park.

570
00:45:46,100 --> 00:45:48,900
Sorry, not related to this, but just got me thinking.

571
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:58,300
So I guess the logistics will have to see who we have and how big the group is.

572
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:02,660
And by then we can figure out if it's in here or somewhere where, you know,

573
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:13,660
If there's five people on the panel, this is perfect because it's easy speaking, but if you have more than that, we're going to need a better environment or a different environment, I should say not a better, but a different one.

574
00:46:14,780 --> 00:46:17,210
You can't win it.

575
00:46:17,350 --> 00:46:23,050
Probably could, but you only have five microphones, but you only have five microphones, so that makes it hard.

576
00:46:25,450 --> 00:46:25,850
Thank you.

577
00:46:25,850 --> 00:46:28,730
I think once we figure out how many people we have for the panel.

578
00:46:28,730 --> 00:46:32,430
Okay, well, I just want to say that it's not necessarily back up.

579
00:46:32,570 --> 00:46:35,670
So you mentioned gay, Marian, you don't do.

580
00:46:35,870 --> 00:46:41,150
So those three, then go in gay, that's for being like as you can speak.

581
00:46:41,470 --> 00:46:53,170
It's five, and then the gay, and then the police chief is sex, and then so that's six for now.

582
00:46:53,170 --> 00:46:53,390
And then

583
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:06,320
people will, you can tell people, you can actually never know.

584
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:12,160
Because they do, because the D.A. is only one, but I contacted two.

585
00:47:12,380 --> 00:47:13,740
So one of them is the bottom line.

586
00:47:14,180 --> 00:47:18,040
Yeah. And same with the DCPD, they're going to have one person.

587
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:20,020
It's either going to be the person around that.

588
00:47:20,020 --> 00:47:24,160
But the others will be here to attend and see and watch and, you know, because they'll be a resource,

589
00:47:24,180 --> 00:47:27,080
so to speak, for the police department.

590
00:47:27,660 --> 00:47:32,180
So, okay, I think that's all I had.

591
00:47:35,390 --> 00:47:39,670
If anybody thinks of any more places we should put these flyers or get them to,

592
00:47:40,190 --> 00:47:42,130
we should send them to Natalie.

593
00:47:43,590 --> 00:47:45,630
I'm just kind of doing the...

594
00:47:45,630 --> 00:47:48,650
Now that school is back in, I don't know if Skyline is back in,

595
00:47:48,710 --> 00:47:52,490
but do we have connections with the colleges or community colleges?

596
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:58,280
I can check with the author, you have, okay.

597
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:01,820
Yeah, if you can share that, otherwise I'll check with the author of the city manager.

598
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:17,800
I'll also say on the health care perspective, I'm friends with Dr. Elise Nassal and she's a family medicine practitioner for the county or maybe the city,

599
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:23,560
daily city but she works right over here and so I'm happy to reach out to her too to see

600
00:48:23,940 --> 00:48:28,900
if she or some of her colleagues have experienced that they want to share on the panel.

601
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:33,000
I'll send you both of those emails, email addresses.

602
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:37,160
Well that'd be great because she's right here at the Neven Center. So that means they could be even

603
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:43,440
seeing people here with that issue coming into the clinic. Okay that's great.

604
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:46,940
And that's my old one.

605
00:48:47,240 --> 00:48:47,600
Sorry.

606
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:49,480
I've been thinking about what I've been saying.

607
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:53,860
You're just reading.

608
00:48:55,700 --> 00:49:00,780
It's like, they just read, but they, I think one piece that's missing here,

609
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:06,780
and so maybe there's somebody there from a healthcare provider from a resource provider

610
00:49:06,780 --> 00:49:11,500
that has some sort of perspective on, I can read.

611
00:49:13,500 --> 00:49:15,020
You tell center.

612
00:49:15,020 --> 00:49:15,180
You tell center.

613
00:49:15,180 --> 00:49:16,840
Yeah, they said I do a partnership.

614
00:49:17,240 --> 00:49:17,800
That was the only one.

615
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:20,140
Yeah, they just, I just saw them in the kitchen.

616
00:49:20,700 --> 00:49:22,060
So I'll reach out to them.

617
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:23,840
I'll get that.

618
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:26,760
I'll get that.

619
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:27,320
I'll get that.

620
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:27,580
I'll get that.

621
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:29,820
I'll get that.

622
00:49:29,940 --> 00:49:30,200
Okay.

623
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:34,860
We lost the agenda for today.

624
00:49:37,530 --> 00:49:38,010
There it is.

625
00:49:40,780 --> 00:49:40,960
Yeah.

626
00:49:41,220 --> 00:49:41,500
Okay.

627
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:42,420
All right.

628
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:44,820
Is everybody good with that so far?

629
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:46,460
I'll move on.

630
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:54,500
Let's move on to research and report subcommittee, initial findings and recommendations.

631
00:49:57,690 --> 00:49:58,530
We want to start.

632
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:11,100
Well, we'll just, we'll just vibe it out for the better word and I apologize if I am extremely

633
00:50:11,100 --> 00:50:15,960
sleepy today, so I'm a little less articulate.

634
00:50:21,630 --> 00:50:30,550
So maybe it wasn't the last meeting, but was it the last meeting in the past?

635
00:50:30,550 --> 00:50:37,450
Tasha that you went over a draft of this that is of a women in the city. Since then, Tasha

636
00:50:37,450 --> 00:50:46,590
and I have been working on this draft that we submitted to the commission, and some of the

637
00:50:46,590 --> 00:50:56,410
high-level data points that Natasha pulled last time are still in here and it warrants sort of

638
00:50:56,410 --> 00:51:05,130
competition, thinking about why daily city needs and warns its own analysis around the

639
00:51:05,130 --> 00:51:07,690
women's the status of women.

640
00:51:08,050 --> 00:51:15,470
Just a few things that is sort of in this second section is that, you know, daily city residents

641
00:51:15,470 --> 00:51:23,250
are foreign born, multi-lingual, we have larger average household sizes with lower household

642
00:51:23,250 --> 00:51:24,070
incomes.

643
00:51:26,530 --> 00:51:32,890
In this section we're also pointing out that, you know, the same, the same topics that

644
00:51:32,890 --> 00:51:39,250
were in the fund the future report are things that daily city women are also concerned about

645
00:51:39,810 --> 00:51:48,290
around economic freedom and viability care, caregiving responsibilities, housing.

646
00:51:50,690 --> 00:51:58,610
In the third section around what we found, there are a few headings here on economic opportunity

647
00:51:59,050 --> 00:52:08,750
and as Kevin from earlier talked about, if low income is 85k in the county in daily

648
00:52:08,750 --> 00:52:16,770
cities lower than that. In terms of education, the high-level statistics are that daily city

649
00:52:16,770 --> 00:52:23,590
whole bachelor degrees that are approximately 39% to the 54% in the county.

650
00:52:26,370 --> 00:52:26,630
In terms

651
00:52:26,630 --> 00:52:29,550
housing, multi-generation.

652
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:41,960
All in multi-family housing is prevalent here. And in terms of language and foreign-barren population,

653
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:49,000
it's just more dense here in the city, which then has consequences for access to health and housing

654
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:55,060
and other types of economic opportunities. Do you want to add things there?

655
00:52:55,060 --> 00:53:01,120
No, I just think that because so much of our commission was based on the counties, like

656
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:07,280
the success of the countywide commission, that getting daily city specific information

657
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:12,740
with just this like rough first go, seeing so many disparities between our city and the

658
00:53:12,740 --> 00:53:19,780
county, and then just seeing, even further research, how daily city keeps coming up,

659
00:53:19,780 --> 00:53:24,160
C. Cag, which is the county's Council of Governments for San Mateo County,

660
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:29,320
identifies daily city as one of their equity priority communities, which are,

661
00:53:29,900 --> 00:53:38,680
or sorry, equity-focused areas. It names that daily city has a history of so much,

662
00:53:39,720 --> 00:53:45,280
just like really interesting rationale on why it might be harder for daily city residents, especially

663
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:54,100
day to the residents of color to have the same income attainability and things like that.

664
00:53:54,440 --> 00:54:00,980
So I do think that we're just asking if there are resources or if there is interest

665
00:54:00,980 --> 00:54:06,620
that we somehow because we don't have the resources to do it just as two members of this

666
00:54:06,620 --> 00:54:13,900
commission look deeper in this topic because I think it would inform a lot of policy decisions

667
00:54:13,900 --> 00:54:16,180
to know more about these issues.

668
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:20,140
I think in terms of those policy decisions,

669
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:24,420
policy decisions that might fit in the county level

670
00:54:24,420 --> 00:54:28,040
because of the disparities between women in the county

671
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:31,420
versus daily city, those same policies

672
00:54:31,420 --> 00:54:35,720
might not work for the women in daily city.

673
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:40,340
And so I think this is, this is,

674
00:54:40,340 --> 00:54:42,480
this isn't us trying to cobble this together

675
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:50,000
with full-time jobs trying to raise young kids, I think one of the recommendations that we have is that there should be more

676
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:58,260
time resources poured into really thinking about what are the what is the status of women in daily

677
00:54:58,260 --> 00:55:06,800
city and if you will allow me to dream, right, maybe a year or two, maybe the speaker series is a conference on

678
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:12,280
the status of women in daily city instead of a five to eight we'd have you know a

679
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:19,780
nine to two symposium around housing or on economic opportunities that has interpretation

680
00:55:19,780 --> 00:55:25,560
or translation services that have different organizations who serve the women and children

681
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:31,700
and families in daily city present right and that the report would be shared in that way right

682
00:55:31,700 --> 00:55:42,060
as it stands to volunteer commissioners on a subcommittee will not do because this is what we could do and

683
00:55:42,060 --> 00:55:48,700
you know, we don't have the resources for more, but future recommendations would be doing a quantitative analysis,

684
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:56,740
maybe even a secondary data and then the collection of maybe focus groups or interviews with women in daily city.

685
00:55:58,260 --> 00:56:09,200
I think I also want to say that in our findings and just in our conversations working on this report,

686
00:56:09,940 --> 00:56:19,500
I think it would be important to say that the link between the Women's Commission and City Council,

687
00:56:19,500 --> 00:56:27,840
there's a lot here to explore and clarify given that we are the, you know, inaugural women's

688
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:36,680
commission around how we can weigh in, how we can contribute to discussions on the city county

689
00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:42,640
level, or not city council level around the issues that affect women.

690
00:56:43,300 --> 00:56:50,120
Yeah. I can't push this button very well. On the last page we have just outlined some initial

691
00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:55,820
brain. This is just like first brain storms on things that maybe could be brought to the

692
00:56:55,820 --> 00:57:02,140
commission to speak on, not decide. We're not a voting body that affects their decisions,

693
00:57:02,140 --> 00:57:10,220
but just inform. I think it's been really interesting to think about the topic of women being so

694
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:16,520
women's issues are all issues and that can, as a blessing and a, and a curse in some ways,

695
00:57:16,620 --> 00:57:22,040
because it's like, oh, what do we want to talk about? And I think that outlined here, so it's like

696
00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:26,600
major housing and development, proposals affecting affordability or family services, could be an

697
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:32,820
interesting thing to hear about or bring up. Parks and Recreation and Public Safety initiatives with

698
00:57:32,820 --> 00:57:37,000
significant impacts on women, children, older adults. It'd be really cool to see like the

699
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:42,820
in part programs that maybe are women specific or hear about how they're reaching out to women

700
00:57:42,820 --> 00:57:47,900
young women for their programs. Things like that. I think it's interesting about the decision

701
00:57:47,900 --> 00:57:54,360
around not to bring up a hot topic but the West like Park being privatized when that's one of the

702
00:57:54,360 --> 00:58:00,200
few green spaces we have for many families in that area. Women facing heart disease is one of their

703
00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:06,640
top, you know, more, more, more, more, mortality if, like, issues. Like, we need access to

704
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:12,680
groups. Like, that's all related, and I think that I would just really want City Council

705
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:18,460
to think a little bit more about how to use the brain trust we all have here to maybe inform.

706
00:58:19,020 --> 00:58:25,440
We're just speaking on some issues. So I thought, I don't know that I can agree with all this yet

707
00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:29,640
until we kind of dig into a little bit more, but I do appreciate what you've done. One of the things

708
00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:32,920
So I was thinking of this, you know, kind of like we're doing a domestic violence, we're getting

709
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:37,420
information in from the public and from a panel and then having people talk to us about

710
00:58:37,420 --> 00:58:43,820
what they've seen or done or things like that, it strikes me as one of the things we could

711
00:58:43,820 --> 00:58:51,380
do around this rather than trying to do all these comprehensive studies is actually of a town hall

712
00:58:51,380 --> 00:58:55,620
meeting for women specifically and talk about the different topics.

713
00:58:55,620 --> 00:59:06,000
I take this from experience at the county, you know, if you get a group of women, try to get as large a group of women and talk about what they're facing.

714
00:59:06,780 --> 00:59:13,160
And you start hearing specifically from the community. I mean, they're always doing comparisons with the county and things like that.

715
00:59:13,220 --> 00:59:22,220
But I think having if we're going to do speaker series or town hall meeting actually hear from the community themselves, where they think they need more help.

716
00:59:22,220 --> 00:59:26,960
You know, because some of the things I read said, oh, well, you know, we have these large families

717
00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:29,680
and it's hard to feed them all, we don't make enough.

718
00:59:30,620 --> 00:59:37,360
Well, you know, that's different than if it's just two people in a house, you know, you'd have a larger pot,

719
00:59:37,580 --> 00:59:43,640
but since you have multiple generations, you know, there's a lot of different things that happen here in Daily City

720
00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:48,020
because there's a lot of multi-generational families that live together, which is a wonderful thing,

721
00:59:48,020 --> 00:59:54,920
But it makes it harder also from an income standpoint if the grandparents aren't working, but now you're trying to feed eight people

722
00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:59,880
That's that's a different comparison than having a household of four against four

723
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:09,620
You know what I mean? So there's different things. I just think there's a lot of things we want to hear from the community. It's kind of like those listening things, rather than just data driven.

724
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:12,500
But I do think some of this helps.

725
01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:24,420
And, you know, there's a couple things in here that were suggestions of things that were, you know, they weren't specific, but there was somewhat suggestive.

726
01:00:24,420 --> 01:00:37,000
And I just think I'd, I'd like to spend a little more time digging in on this maybe for one of our next meetings and talk about, you know, how we can get more of the input from the community themselves and try to tell them what they need.

727
01:00:37,860 --> 01:00:40,280
I just find it more effective that way.

728
01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:52,640
At least I've seen it in the past because that's when legislation comes up, or recommendations to the council we heard from a hundred women that the biggest problem here in Daily City is XYZ.

729
01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:55,380
rather than trying to say, well, look at these comparisons.

730
01:00:55,640 --> 01:00:57,140
You're now what can you do for us?

731
01:00:57,400 --> 01:01:00,440
You have to give them something to support,

732
01:01:01,300 --> 01:01:04,900
rather than them having to tell us what to do.

733
01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:08,280
We're supposed to be providing to the council

734
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:10,980
something that they can vote and support

735
01:01:10,980 --> 01:01:12,400
and take action on.

736
01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:15,120
I have a question about that framing.

737
01:01:15,420 --> 01:01:16,700
I have a lot of experiences

738
01:01:16,700 --> 01:01:19,740
a community organizer and know just how much work it takes

739
01:01:19,740 --> 01:01:26,540
to do that sort of effort and to make even a town hall,

740
01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:28,620
which would be awesome or a symposium,

741
01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:30,980
that's like a one moment impossible.

742
01:01:31,420 --> 01:01:33,580
The community organizing has to be done constantly

743
01:01:34,140 --> 01:01:36,060
over and over in perpetuity.

744
01:01:36,260 --> 01:01:37,820
And that is not something that we,

745
01:01:37,820 --> 01:01:40,140
as volunteer board members, can do were run.

746
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:44,700
And I do think that there is an opportunity here

747
01:01:44,700 --> 01:01:47,500
to put multiple irons in the fire

748
01:01:47,500 --> 01:01:56,700
as far as work on a larger event that we can hear from constituents while also as a bureaucrat.

749
01:01:57,500 --> 01:02:03,040
Now, understanding that being able to chime in on active policy is one of the most powerful ways

750
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:07,240
that us as members of the public or members of the board can have an impact.

751
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:16,520
And I do think that this style of participation by committee or commission is nothing new.

752
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:24,280
All other city commissions are used as resources on like topics that relate to them, and I find it

753
01:02:25,160 --> 01:02:29,180
Really perplexing that we haven't been brought a topic by

754
01:02:31,120 --> 01:02:38,320
Anyone in the city of like what are your thoughts on this because I do think that that is the way we can have the most

755
01:02:39,300 --> 01:02:46,120
Impact fast while also thinking of larger policy things we want to move forward over a longer arc of time

756
01:02:47,420 --> 01:02:49,860
which, unfortunately, daily see as a limited budget,

757
01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:52,320
limited staff time, you guys are under extreme dress,

758
01:02:52,580 --> 01:02:55,060
like new ideas are useful, but much harder,

759
01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:59,580
sometimes than molding 75% baked ideas.

760
01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:04,360
I just, I really are just to think about how we can do

761
01:03:04,360 --> 01:03:07,820
many things at once, because these are valuable hours

762
01:03:07,820 --> 01:03:10,240
of our time to be here, and we're doing cool stuff,

763
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:14,340
but it would be nice to see where we can have lots of little impacts.

764
01:03:15,300 --> 01:03:32,200
Do we currently have any examples of any other commissions where the city is coming to the commission with some like like when I think about planning right I think planning discusses something and then it's brought to the council.

765
01:03:32,820 --> 01:03:43,060
Do we currently have any commissions where it works the other way where where the council is coming to a commission and asking them for recommendations or ideas.

766
01:03:43,060 --> 01:03:46,680
Because my feeling is, there is, which, the small business commission?

767
01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:49,820
The small business commission?

768
01:03:51,500 --> 01:03:55,180
They are, um, I'm looking at Rose and she looks confused.

769
01:03:55,680 --> 01:03:59,220
So, I, as you see, I'm asking, I'm looking at Rose.

770
01:03:59,220 --> 01:03:59,300
I'm looking at Rose.

771
01:03:59,300 --> 01:03:59,400
Okay.

772
01:03:59,540 --> 01:04:01,220
So I'm sorry that I didn't know that.

773
01:04:01,220 --> 01:04:02,040
That question was here.

774
01:04:03,620 --> 01:04:08,200
I'm sure it's it, but like, again, I'm just trying to get data.

775
01:04:08,320 --> 01:04:11,940
Do we currently have examples where the council is coming

776
01:04:11,940 --> 01:04:17,200
to a commission and asking them for perspective advice review.

777
01:04:17,720 --> 01:04:18,800
The re-init clarification.

778
01:04:19,100 --> 01:04:20,980
I don't mean the council, I mean city staff.

779
01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:22,960
As someone that also sits on the daily city

780
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:24,500
by school and pedestrian advisory committee,

781
01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:27,700
we get designs brought to us to comment on

782
01:04:27,700 --> 01:04:30,360
ahead of their construction, ahead of their formal design.

783
01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:33,000
And we don't get to decide if they get built or not.

784
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:34,540
We just share our opinion.

785
01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:35,880
And surely here's us.

786
01:04:35,960 --> 01:04:36,680
And she goes, cool.

787
01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:37,280
Thank you.

788
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:40,800
And does what she can or cannot with that information.

789
01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:43,980
And so it's not Council members coming to us.

790
01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:45,740
I mean, city staff or city policy.

791
01:04:46,680 --> 01:04:50,380
Well, in a lot of those type of commissions, for instance,

792
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:51,300
the Planning Commission.

793
01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:53,580
So it's slightly mandated.

794
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:57,940
So a lot of the developments have to come to the advisory board

795
01:04:57,940 --> 01:04:59,260
before it goes to the Council,

796
01:04:59,300 --> 01:05:01,360
because it's a requirement to state law.

797
01:05:01,900 --> 01:05:03,420
So but in terms of your question,

798
01:05:03,740 --> 01:05:07,160
I have not seen it where the Council comes to the commission,

799
01:05:07,460 --> 01:05:09,680
because the commissions are designed to be advisory.

800
01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:16,960
And so they really are looking to the commissions as they're appointees to bring recommendations to them.

801
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:18,840
That's how I usually see it.

802
01:05:19,860 --> 01:05:26,600
I have seen the complete, I don't know if it made it so verbiage, but the Reckon Park Commission,

803
01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:33,480
they comment on Reckon Park policies that are happening or things that might be taking place in the future.

804
01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:39,180
And they give their opinions on it, the small business commission comments on new business ideas,

805
01:05:39,180 --> 01:05:43,780
are like the grocery outlet that is on going in on top of the hill and they just shared their

806
01:05:43,780 --> 01:05:46,420
perspective about potential impacts to the community.

807
01:05:46,940 --> 01:05:54,920
Or like, the small business commission has consulted about the contracts around who gets

808
01:05:54,920 --> 01:06:01,320
a service like the DCPD car cars, right, and how we can keep that there can be like a ticketing

809
01:06:01,320 --> 01:06:10,740
system, right? So there has been ways that commissions, as you said, have been asked for recommendations.

810
01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:17,680
We've sat on this commission for a year and almost a year and a half and we have not

811
01:06:17,680 --> 01:06:30,340
been at all approached about any of the things that we said and actually maybe the bike and I'm

812
01:06:30,340 --> 01:06:34,440
industry and advisory committee. It's a long one. It is a women's issue. It's a women's

813
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:41,380
issue because many women walk in bike their children to school and home. I consider that

814
01:06:41,380 --> 01:06:50,640
a women's issue. The grocery outlet, that's a bridge park, is a women's issue. I'm sure dad's

815
01:06:50,640 --> 01:06:57,240
do it too, but there's moms out there too. And there's there's nanny's that go too. So all of

816
01:06:57,240 --> 01:07:05,080
our women's issues. So I think not to be labor at the point. The report that we put together,

817
01:07:06,280 --> 01:07:10,680
we're asking the commission to read it carefully and look at our recommendations.

818
01:07:12,040 --> 01:07:16,840
We are, we are almost 10 minutes over a time. I'm happy to take this up at the next

819
01:07:18,540 --> 01:07:22,680
at our next women's commission meeting. Just to think together about

820
01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:29,980
the purpose of this commission and what other types of impacts we can make in conversation with city.

821
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:33,280
Staff, and to inform the policies for the city.

822
01:07:34,300 --> 01:07:42,520
Well, I think the other thing you have to remember, and if you're trying to city staff, then we also have to think about what other jobs you're doing to be able to do all this kind of work.

823
01:07:42,540 --> 01:07:55,140
So we have to be sensitive to that as well. But I also think from a council perspective, you know, there are key things that they look out as budgets, infrastructure, you know, planning issues are kind of some of these bigger, bigger issues.

824
01:07:55,140 --> 01:08:03,700
And, you know, I think the hope when this was started is that we would look at issues within the realm of the women's commission.

825
01:08:04,280 --> 01:08:11,260
It could have been, you know, things that, if the Bicycle Committee said, you know, we'd like to get some input from the women's commission on impacts of women,

826
01:08:11,420 --> 01:08:18,380
or take that out to the community, the women's community, you know, they could also send those to us or suggest them to Natalie.

827
01:08:18,380 --> 01:08:38,380
But, you know, I think I still think we need to drill down a little bit more on what we can actually work on and what kind of information we can bring in the council and say, we'd like you to do a resolution on this that would filter through the city for the salary issue or filter through the city for this or that.

828
01:08:38,540 --> 01:08:47,080
That's why I want to kind of drill down a little bit more because I think some of these are very broad and you're right, it's a lot of work, but it's a lot of work for anybody to drill down a lot of these recommendations.

829
01:08:47,080 --> 01:08:54,520
because it's a lot of detail work and what I don't know is how I guess this was the census

830
01:08:54,520 --> 01:09:00,940
data from 2024 and their estimates and things like that. Drilling down on all the numbers

831
01:09:00,940 --> 01:09:05,940
because everything's changed. Daily city is no longer the largest city in the county.

832
01:09:06,120 --> 01:09:11,960
It's just by a little bit. I looked it up because I just knew because I was bothered that we

833
01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:18,380
the number one still. But I just think I'd like to just think some time to think about a little bit

834
01:09:18,380 --> 01:09:23,780
more. I think what I've seen on my plate a little bit more is really the commission focusing

835
01:09:24,780 --> 01:09:30,900
specifically on our event for November 5th because there's still a lot of work to be done. And I think

836
01:09:30,900 --> 01:09:36,020
if we're not successful with our first event, we're not going to be successful with the next one.

837
01:09:36,020 --> 01:09:40,420
So we have two months to make this a stellar event

838
01:09:40,420 --> 01:09:42,480
and put this all together.

839
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:44,800
It doesn't mean we don't follow up

840
01:09:44,800 --> 01:09:46,700
and look at all these things and talk about them again

841
01:09:46,700 --> 01:09:50,380
next time, but I think the focus, I think right now

842
01:09:50,380 --> 01:09:52,140
because it's such a short time period,

843
01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:56,300
should really be on that event and each of us taking a role in that.

844
01:09:56,740 --> 01:09:58,120
And doesn't mean I won't go through this

845
01:09:58,120 --> 01:09:59,900
and ask more questions at our next meeting.

846
01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:03,600
I certainly will, but I think I'd like to see

847
01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:09,560
get through something that's kind of big right now and we'll sort of set the path for the

848
01:10:09,560 --> 01:10:14,820
women's commission for future speaker series and then and this is different than this speaker

849
01:10:14,820 --> 01:10:19,960
series. What you guys are doing but we might have to divvy up different parts of your research

850
01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:25,440
and some of us do some of that instead of leaving it strictly for staff because I think that's a

851
01:10:25,440 --> 01:10:33,400
big lift as well. And maybe it's something that we don't pursue further if this was brought up in our

852
01:10:33,400 --> 01:10:40,630
strategic planning effort just because of the, just like, what a resource, the county

853
01:10:40,630 --> 01:10:47,770
wide analysis was. And unfortunately, it leaves daily city, a lot of the daily city specifics

854
01:10:47,770 --> 01:10:52,870
out. So that was the only reason we wanted to dive a little deeper. And maybe we just leave

855
01:10:52,870 --> 01:10:59,510
it here with the data. We don't have, this already tells us a lot. So I thought the county and

856
01:10:59,510 --> 01:11:07,290
have to go back and talk to people. I thought the county when I was there, we specifically had

857
01:11:07,290 --> 01:11:11,930
the Missouri and it was really more North County, because North County has always been sort

858
01:11:11,930 --> 01:11:18,590
of the stepchild of the county, it's so much business gets done in the south end. So I'll go back

859
01:11:18,590 --> 01:11:23,630
and ask. I thought they had done something more in depth about the North County, which clearly

860
01:11:23,630 --> 01:11:29,150
was really my focus was on daily city at the time. So it was when I was on the board actually,

861
01:11:29,150 --> 01:11:32,930
because I recognize the Diff's Connect on things happening here.

862
01:11:33,150 --> 01:11:35,890
They had, I just went on the fun the future reports specifically.

863
01:11:36,530 --> 01:11:39,850
There was not a daily city or not a county specific call out.

864
01:11:40,050 --> 01:11:42,490
But there are plenty of North County reports.

865
01:11:43,070 --> 01:11:46,070
The future won the one the Jackie Spear did?

866
01:11:46,570 --> 01:11:46,590
No.

867
01:11:46,810 --> 01:11:47,290
So why?

868
01:11:47,290 --> 01:11:48,850
They didn't want that the, they presented you.

869
01:11:49,250 --> 01:11:51,030
They didn't want that, they didn't want that.

870
01:11:51,470 --> 01:11:53,810
And then the other ones she did, but I think it was more round children.

871
01:11:54,650 --> 01:11:58,810
But there was all, there are all, are others that we could, it would be a few years old.

872
01:11:58,810 --> 01:12:03,190
but it might have some greater detail about daily city

873
01:12:03,190 --> 01:12:05,310
than even the commission did.

874
01:12:05,490 --> 01:12:07,410
I'm not sure they made Doug into it, too.

875
01:12:07,430 --> 01:12:09,510
I'd have to find out, because it's been a few years,

876
01:12:10,270 --> 01:12:11,610
but yeah, I don't have a problem

877
01:12:11,610 --> 01:12:13,750
with continuing the conversation to get me wrong,

878
01:12:14,030 --> 01:12:16,910
but I'm really focused on making sure we have

879
01:12:16,910 --> 01:12:18,510
our first event as stellar.

880
01:12:19,590 --> 01:12:22,150
And I think we all have to play a role in that, too.

881
01:12:22,550 --> 01:12:24,270
Yeah, and you know, I mean, respectfully,

882
01:12:24,730 --> 01:12:27,770
I think the event in November is gonna be really excellent

883
01:12:27,770 --> 01:12:31,550
and I agree with you, Adrienne, we should all be all hands-on deck.

884
01:12:32,250 --> 01:12:38,270
I just am really curious and this is a question that we can take up later of like, is there

885
01:12:38,270 --> 01:12:43,870
like an allergy or something around? Am I not understanding the role of the women's

886
01:12:43,870 --> 01:12:49,750
commission? Because if our charge is to plan the events for the women's commission,

887
01:12:50,210 --> 01:12:56,850
then I'd be kind of understanding where to step, we're not to step. You know what I mean?

888
01:12:56,850 --> 01:13:00,950
but in the strategic planning retreat that we had,

889
01:13:00,950 --> 01:13:05,390
we had multiple conversations around policy impact

890
01:13:05,390 --> 01:13:08,590
and community engagement and things like that.

891
01:13:08,710 --> 01:13:12,270
And so I think the research subcommittee

892
01:13:12,270 --> 01:13:15,810
was really speaking to trying to complement the fund,

893
01:13:15,810 --> 01:13:19,270
the future report, and also speak to some of the other goals

894
01:13:19,270 --> 01:13:20,490
that we set for ourselves.

895
01:13:21,250 --> 01:13:25,630
If that's not what the role of the commissions are,

896
01:13:25,630 --> 01:13:31,790
then I'd be happy to hear that and so that we can, if we want to leave it to just these

897
01:13:31,790 --> 01:13:38,450
three pages and then that's it. That's okay too. That's why I was asking the question of

898
01:13:38,450 --> 01:13:46,310
rose specifically because I think we just need clarity around process, right? Like when we think

899
01:13:46,310 --> 01:13:53,730
about the planning commission and that being a law that the reason that they behave this way

900
01:13:53,730 --> 01:13:59,950
because there's a law. I don't know about the small business commission, but I also

901
01:13:59,950 --> 01:14:07,410
once sat on the pedestrian and bicycle committee. So I also know that that is also part

902
01:14:07,410 --> 01:14:16,230
of the law. So not the law, but there's a mission. There's like the mission is related

903
01:14:16,230 --> 01:14:22,510
that like they're not going to like paint roads or create bicycle lanes without the involvement

904
01:14:22,510 --> 01:14:28,030
of this commission. Our charter doesn't say, no policies, indeed, we city-affecting women will

905
01:14:28,030 --> 01:14:37,190
go into practice without the consultation of the women's commission. I am for this. I do believe

906
01:14:37,190 --> 01:14:43,550
that we should establish a collaborative process for referring policy matters. Right now, our charter

907
01:14:43,550 --> 01:14:51,790
doesn't call for that. And so I think it's more of where is that written for other, for other

908
01:14:53,170 --> 01:14:58,650
commissions and do we need to have a conversation around what our charter is and how do we do like,

909
01:14:58,650 --> 01:14:59,970
Is there even King?

910
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:13,620
You even amend that chart, right? So I'm more thinking about today, based on our charter, no we're in our charter, does it say that we are part of some sort of collaborative process with the council or with city staff.

911
01:15:14,600 --> 01:15:28,820
That's not to say that maybe in the future that doesn't change, but I think in order to know what is what we can do and how we can participate, we need to understand the impact of the charter on that and right now our charter does not call for that.

912
01:15:28,820 --> 01:15:34,540
So I think that's part of the issue is that nobody asks us this like, it's part of our

913
01:15:34,540 --> 01:15:34,940
charter.

914
01:15:35,600 --> 01:15:40,120
And that's why they don't come to us asking for things because there's no, the charter does

915
01:15:40,120 --> 01:15:41,100
not connect to that.

916
01:15:41,480 --> 01:15:46,640
So I think it's definitely a bigger conversation and also trying to understand what's possible.

917
01:15:47,240 --> 01:15:55,180
If we feel, some of us feel like we are not able to do our life's work because the charter

918
01:15:56,380 --> 01:16:00,100
doesn't create a larger opportunity for dialogue.

919
01:16:00,500 --> 01:16:04,440
Like that's something that we have to, you know, think about.

920
01:16:04,960 --> 01:16:09,160
Well, I also see, there's a lot of info in here that talks about issues affecting women

921
01:16:09,160 --> 01:16:09,440
daily.

922
01:16:09,440 --> 01:16:14,080
See, I think if we could dig into some of them, if you can't dig into all of them,

923
01:16:14,080 --> 01:16:17,560
and really come back with a policy that we'd recommend to the city

924
01:16:17,560 --> 01:16:20,620
that they do a survey of whether it's employees here,

925
01:16:20,940 --> 01:16:23,340
or use a chamber or something to talk about women's salaries,

926
01:16:23,340 --> 01:16:28,180
things like that. You know, the equity issues around that, you know, we could bring something

927
01:16:28,180 --> 01:16:33,300
like that to the council. That's kind of our role is find out what you'd like them to

928
01:16:33,300 --> 01:16:38,480
try to accomplish as a council, because we don't get to say you have to do this. We're saying

929
01:16:38,480 --> 01:16:44,660
we're recommending to you that, you know, you take a look at the equity in salaries. I'll just

930
01:16:44,660 --> 01:16:49,940
use that as one specific. You know, and it could be, it might have been one of the things you put

931
01:16:49,940 --> 01:16:56,000
here I don't recall right now, but I think there's a lot of things we can do and be a

932
01:16:56,660 --> 01:17:01,960
send policy to the council. We just have to decide what those policies are, and if it requires

933
01:17:01,960 --> 01:17:06,260
more research, then we have to figure out what tools we have to do the research.

934
01:17:06,640 --> 01:17:15,500
A lot of it, too, vice chair is your charge as a commission is very broad, right? And that's

935
01:17:15,500 --> 01:17:19,580
just the way it has been written by ordinance. So when you're talking about BPAC, BPAC's been

936
01:17:19,580 --> 01:17:20,740
around for a long time.

937
01:17:20,800 --> 01:17:23,840
It has very specific goals, right?

938
01:17:23,860 --> 01:17:25,400
And I know we talked about the planning commission.

939
01:17:25,620 --> 01:17:27,940
You have personnel board, very, very specific

940
01:17:27,940 --> 01:17:29,120
to personnel issues.

941
01:17:29,600 --> 01:17:32,040
Whereas you are sort of in the driver's seat

942
01:17:32,040 --> 01:17:33,460
to identify those issues.

943
01:17:33,600 --> 01:17:36,860
And that's why it might feel kind of crazy

944
01:17:36,860 --> 01:17:39,120
because you have a lot of broad authority.

945
01:17:39,740 --> 01:17:41,080
And a lot of those are identifying

946
01:17:41,080 --> 01:17:42,880
what those priorities are.

947
01:17:43,460 --> 01:17:45,820
And impacts of what that might be.

948
01:17:45,820 --> 01:17:53,380
You might in a symposium, or even through the speaker series, find out their bigger broader

949
01:17:53,380 --> 01:17:54,680
issues that are impacting.

950
01:17:55,240 --> 01:18:00,940
So the council is looking to the commission as it was developed to look at this broad

951
01:18:00,940 --> 01:18:06,920
authority and to narrow it down to see what is it about the women's issues or identifying

952
01:18:06,920 --> 01:18:09,160
the women's issues that impact daily city.

953
01:18:09,440 --> 01:18:15,760
And I think that's why it can appear to look like, what's going on, this is so much, it's

954
01:18:15,760 --> 01:18:23,760
it is a lot. May I ask for a motion, since this is not a gender's item, to a gender's

955
01:18:24,560 --> 01:18:30,960
asking topics, as they relate to city policy, that we could like, themes of if this type of

956
01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:37,680
thing is being heard by council, we would like to hear about it too. Like is that, like if there

957
01:18:37,680 --> 01:18:45,900
changes to recommend, I don't know, I feel, I apologize if I sound dense or something,

958
01:18:46,060 --> 01:18:53,320
but this is, I don't know why I feel like I'm not being heard as far as it sounds easy to

959
01:18:53,320 --> 01:18:59,220
mean to say, like, what's the city working on right now? Let's share it with the women's commission,

960
01:18:59,560 --> 01:19:04,260
which of these topics are things that you would like to hear more about, because we cannot,

961
01:19:04,260 --> 01:19:17,000
So we don't know everything that you guys are working on and I, at my job, we have a community advisory council that each year sets a strategic plan for the year kind of like we did.

962
01:19:17,280 --> 01:19:23,020
But with help of staff of like here's all the stuff our agencies working on for the next three years.

963
01:19:23,240 --> 01:19:27,760
What are you guys interested of that? Let's pick something.

964
01:19:27,760 --> 01:19:31,320
And we might also come here or someone from the city manager,

965
01:19:31,760 --> 01:19:33,200
I'm not saying you are not the representative.

966
01:19:33,980 --> 01:19:37,760
But can we invite a representative from the city manager's office

967
01:19:37,760 --> 01:19:42,020
to come to a meeting and have that discussion?

968
01:19:42,740 --> 01:19:47,260
Because in terms of agendizing, no, I'm like, I don't think so.

969
01:19:47,640 --> 01:19:50,480
Like, there's nothing that we can ask to be agendized

970
01:19:50,480 --> 01:19:51,660
on the city council.

971
01:19:51,880 --> 01:19:53,740
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

972
01:19:53,840 --> 01:19:56,320
So for us, I think if we're going to agendize something,

973
01:19:56,320 --> 01:20:00,820
we should invite someone then from the city manager's office

974
01:20:00,820 --> 01:20:02,900
to come and have that discussion with them.

975
01:20:02,960 --> 01:20:05,560
But I think we should do it in just like,

976
01:20:06,640 --> 01:20:09,040
not between now and the domestic violence meeting.

977
01:20:09,480 --> 01:20:14,480
Yeah, my one column with the event discussions are,

978
01:20:15,180 --> 01:20:17,640
if for event planning, we don't have to be a commission

979
01:20:17,640 --> 01:20:18,260
to do that.

980
01:20:18,260 --> 01:20:20,060
We can actually do it a lot better if we don't

981
01:20:20,060 --> 01:20:22,320
aren't in these one hour meetings.

982
01:20:22,820 --> 01:20:29,220
So, for the event, like, we can only talk about certain things during this one hour.

983
01:20:29,480 --> 01:20:30,200
Mm-hmm.

984
01:20:30,280 --> 01:20:33,340
We have to based on the Brown Act, have conversations here.

985
01:20:34,220 --> 01:20:39,820
Yeah, but she's saying that that's not the only thing that we can have a conversation about in these one hour meetings.

986
01:20:40,200 --> 01:20:42,720
So, these meetings are not one hour. They can go on indefinitely.

987
01:20:43,180 --> 01:20:46,640
Like, we can, I mean, the city council goes until three o'clock in the morning sometimes.

988
01:20:46,920 --> 01:20:48,400
Yeah, we've tried to keep periods.

989
01:20:48,400 --> 01:20:49,260
So it's not too late.

990
01:20:50,420 --> 01:20:56,340
I think there's a misconception on how some of this works, and that's where I'm trying

991
01:20:56,340 --> 01:21:00,160
to explain, and I don't know what we need to take up all this time to explain it.

992
01:21:00,280 --> 01:21:04,380
I might want to think it through and put it down so I could give you a better sense of how it works.

993
01:21:06,160 --> 01:21:10,480
They don't have like, or that maybe they do, and then we could have it.

994
01:21:10,480 --> 01:21:13,260
If they had every treat and said these are the five things we're going to work on this year,

995
01:21:13,960 --> 01:21:15,460
and they would share that publicly.

996
01:21:15,460 --> 01:21:20,740
But what usually happens with the council is someone comes into planning and wants to build something

997
01:21:20,740 --> 01:21:30,380
staff works on it, then it comes to the council and we can't really have that until the council has to see it first.

998
01:21:30,680 --> 01:21:32,540
They never give staff reports out before.

999
01:21:33,300 --> 01:21:34,860
That's maybe a broader picture.

1000
01:21:35,660 --> 01:21:42,040
But if there's something that the council in general has had to retreat and says these are our ten goals.

1001
01:21:42,040 --> 01:21:46,640
like you're saying they did with the community group and in the agency said these are the

1002
01:21:46,640 --> 01:21:50,840
10 things we're working on that might be a different story but the city does not operate

1003
01:21:50,840 --> 01:21:55,680
that way they get all these things on their agenda because they have these all these infrastructure

1004
01:21:55,680 --> 01:22:00,300
things they want to work on and staff works on them and then brings them to them and these

1005
01:22:00,300 --> 01:22:05,600
aren't things well maybe they are something but we'd have to ask how that if they have

1006
01:22:05,600 --> 01:22:10,880
something that they've focused on where it's already public and out there, and how is there

1007
01:22:10,880 --> 01:22:18,020
any way that the Women's Commission could understand some of the things they're doing

1008
01:22:18,020 --> 01:22:26,880
or working on so that we might give input, but not, you know, at the same time or once we

1009
01:22:26,880 --> 01:22:29,980
know that's on the agenda that we can make comment.

1010
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:33,020
It does some things that might have an effect on the women in the community.

1011
01:22:33,280 --> 01:22:37,920
I think Gabby was right that it's not, I think maybe it's just like the words that I'm

1012
01:22:37,920 --> 01:22:43,300
using. I don't mean council only. The city manager, they got a work plan for the year.

1013
01:22:43,560 --> 01:22:47,920
Like, what are they working on? The city council might take things that are more acute or something

1014
01:22:47,920 --> 01:22:51,680
that pops up like a, like a development or something. That's that's one thing.

1015
01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:58,300
But I do think that your idea of inviting the city manager and sharing an outlook of some kind,

1016
01:22:58,300 --> 01:23:01,300
like a horizon, here's what's coming down the pike.

1017
01:23:01,980 --> 01:23:02,660
Would be interesting.

1018
01:23:02,860 --> 01:23:06,780
Just like a state of the daily city workload.

1019
01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:08,940
And then we can know more.

1020
01:23:09,080 --> 01:23:11,840
It's hard to know what's going on.

1021
01:23:15,260 --> 01:23:17,520
I don't think it's necessary a bad idea at all.

1022
01:23:17,680 --> 01:23:20,480
I just think what you're going to find out is it's not sexy stuff.

1023
01:23:21,420 --> 01:23:25,560
They're doing this diagram treatment, basic thing,

1024
01:23:25,700 --> 01:23:27,560
and they're doing the top of the hill thing.

1025
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:30,000
I don't think it's a bad thing to have them come in

1026
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:34,520
say we're just kind of trying to figure out a few things if there's anything that's kind

1027
01:23:34,520 --> 01:23:39,720
of long range that you're working on that we might have an interest for us. But I think you're

1028
01:23:39,720 --> 01:23:45,440
going to find it's more infrastructure-related. Just not things that you would normally think

1029
01:23:45,440 --> 01:23:48,980
would come to a woman's good. I could be wrong, but I just haven't been on the council.

1030
01:23:49,300 --> 01:23:53,820
Right, I think a lot of it, too, is narrowing that. I mean, you know, if you have the

1031
01:23:53,820 --> 01:23:58,160
senior manager come in here and talk about everything he's working on with all the departments.

1032
01:23:58,160 --> 01:24:05,640
It doesn't necessarily, it's not going to us, well, anyway, to the city, it just appears

1033
01:24:05,640 --> 01:24:13,560
if you had some identified priorities and then the city manager can report back how

1034
01:24:13,560 --> 01:24:18,180
those projects may be impacted by the priorities that you set.

1035
01:24:18,560 --> 01:24:19,920
Yeah, and I think we have that.

1036
01:24:20,280 --> 01:24:25,480
I mean, if we were to invite him, we would not say, we talked, I mean, we did as part

1037
01:24:25,480 --> 01:24:31,740
the strategic plan identify our focuses and priorities. So I think we can definitely share have some sort of

1038
01:24:31,740 --> 01:24:39,240
dialogue with the City Manager's office around that. I still think we should focus on the event first,

1039
01:24:39,920 --> 01:24:46,520
but like I think the expectation of the council is for us to bring things that they should be focused

1040
01:24:46,520 --> 01:24:53,080
on to them and not the other way around and perhaps in talking to someone from the City Manager's office,

1041
01:24:53,080 --> 01:25:00,540
we can help maybe understand if there's anything that ties in with our priorities that we

1042
01:25:00,540 --> 01:25:05,240
that spark some sort of idea that we can then come to the council on and say hey we need a

1043
01:25:05,240 --> 01:25:10,160
resolution about this or we need more information like even supporting the development of the

1044
01:25:10,160 --> 01:25:18,400
comprehensive report the the question that I would ask as a taxpayer like is why like what is the

1045
01:25:18,400 --> 01:25:23,000
goal exactly like if we're going to invest in that what do we want to outcome of that to be like

1046
01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:28,840
But in order to get that information, are we going to, you know, become, you know,

1047
01:25:28,940 --> 01:25:33,980
raise our living wage to $30 an hour and like, it's just more of like,

1048
01:25:33,980 --> 01:25:35,400
what are the goals that we're trying to achieve?

1049
01:25:35,560 --> 01:25:40,100
So I think there's still more conversations that I think we need to have around that

1050
01:25:40,100 --> 01:25:44,640
between all of us to then be able to come sort of eloquently and say,

1051
01:25:44,640 --> 01:25:48,400
here's our request, here's our suggestions and here is why.

1052
01:25:49,100 --> 01:25:53,960
Well, I can tell you, you know, the good news is they do have things that are priors, like

1053
01:25:53,960 --> 01:25:56,160
affordable housing is number one on the council's list.

1054
01:25:56,920 --> 01:26:02,340
Just take that and say to yourself, how does that relate to women's issues?

1055
01:26:03,020 --> 01:26:05,980
But we probably could ask, what are the top priors for the city council?

1056
01:26:06,280 --> 01:26:11,340
They have, they have top priors, and if they're topics that we think we might be able to help

1057
01:26:11,340 --> 01:26:16,040
input when they come around to, you know, where we make a presentation saying we've been

1058
01:26:16,040 --> 01:26:20,720
looking at affordable housing, we think it lends itself more to, you know, mail-dominated

1059
01:26:20,720 --> 01:26:27,540
ownership than it does a female, do we have any kind of priority for, you know, low-income

1060
01:26:27,540 --> 01:26:30,600
single moms to get into, I mean, I'm just telling that out.

1061
01:26:31,160 --> 01:26:34,280
I have no idea, but I do know that's one of their biggest priorities.

1062
01:26:34,920 --> 01:26:40,340
So, you know, maybe it's not a bad idea if Tom did come and, you know, lay down what the top

1063
01:26:40,340 --> 01:26:46,800
for the council are and maybe for the city that they're working on and then gives us at least

1064
01:26:46,800 --> 01:26:51,080
a breadth of what they're doing and then we can think about some of these things that might

1065
01:26:51,080 --> 01:26:56,220
affect them and bring something to the council. I think that's what we're looking for is to

1066
01:26:56,220 --> 01:27:01,940
understand what the city's doing and how do we bring that input and give my ideas that we think

1067
01:27:01,940 --> 01:27:06,780
we'd like to see them adopt. And I think also bringing in here puts us on the radar. I think

1068
01:27:06,780 --> 01:27:10,280
the other piece is like, you don't know what you don't know, right?

1069
01:27:10,500 --> 01:27:16,600
We are a new commission, like, we're not, no one is thinking about us.

1070
01:27:16,760 --> 01:27:19,460
Like, oh, we have this commission, we have this new thing.

1071
01:27:19,460 --> 01:27:23,280
We should reach out to them like that, that, that, that's, that's a muscle that needs to

1072
01:27:23,280 --> 01:27:23,900
be developed.

1073
01:27:24,240 --> 01:27:30,200
And so creating that dialogue with, you know, maybe something down the road, all of a sudden

1074
01:27:30,200 --> 01:27:34,200
someone's been like, oh wait, we should bring this to the women's commission and bring

1075
01:27:34,200 --> 01:27:35,740
this and in front of them.

1076
01:27:35,740 --> 01:27:41,920
the other thing I'm thinking of when you talk about how broad our horizon is for us that might be

1077
01:27:41,920 --> 01:27:46,780
very difficult and maybe that's why we're struggling a little bit maybe we can think about that

1078
01:27:46,780 --> 01:27:52,800
and perhaps it could be tightened up to certain issues or certain parameters or something so we

1079
01:27:52,800 --> 01:27:58,120
have a bit of guidance because it is so broad it's so new and is so different from anything you know

1080
01:27:58,120 --> 01:28:03,620
we've they've ever done in the city so I mean that might be something for us all think about it's also new

1081
01:28:04,280 --> 01:28:05,760
for all the cities.

1082
01:28:05,840 --> 01:28:07,380
But we first city to do it.

1083
01:28:07,460 --> 01:28:07,720
Yeah, exactly.

1084
01:28:07,720 --> 01:28:09,720
It's not an account of that stuff, right?

1085
01:28:10,040 --> 01:28:11,020
So like, as different as we know,

1086
01:28:11,140 --> 01:28:14,240
you have San Francisco that has a department and staff.

1087
01:28:14,420 --> 01:28:15,520
I have a whole staff.

1088
01:28:15,900 --> 01:28:19,920
I mean, the San Francisco Arts Commission is hiring for a CFO.

1089
01:28:20,140 --> 01:28:24,160
I mean, like, it's just a different, it's a different ballgame, right?

1090
01:28:24,160 --> 01:28:27,100
The county also has staff and then also city and county.

1091
01:28:27,200 --> 01:28:30,100
So you know, that's a whole different area in the city,

1092
01:28:30,380 --> 01:28:31,660
in your charter and all that kind of stuff.

1093
01:28:31,660 --> 01:28:39,680
We're the only one in the county, but I don't think there's a ton of commissions out there that are just volunteering to have staff.

1094
01:28:39,940 --> 01:28:40,660
Yeah, so.

1095
01:28:41,480 --> 01:28:41,680
All right.

1096
01:28:41,920 --> 01:28:42,660
Are we good tonight?

1097
01:28:44,680 --> 01:28:47,260
I do want to adjourn in honor of Dalton.

1098
01:28:47,260 --> 01:28:47,820
Oh, that's right.

1099
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:48,940
We have a adjourn of members.

1100
01:28:49,360 --> 01:28:50,020
Thank you, Rose.

1101
01:28:50,340 --> 01:28:51,060
We're being here.

1102
01:28:51,400 --> 01:28:52,240
Thank you, Rose.

1103
01:28:54,380 --> 01:28:55,960
I just, I wrote something.

1104
01:28:56,520 --> 01:28:59,900
I'd like to adjourn tonight in honor of Dalely Parton.

1105
01:28:59,900 --> 01:29:08,200
Obviously, we know Dolly for her music and her personality, but I think sometimes what gets overlooked is how much she did for women in children throughout her life.

1106
01:29:08,720 --> 01:29:20,120
She started the imagination library because her father couldn't read or write and began in her small hometown grew into a program that has now given more than 300 million free books to children around the world.

1107
01:29:20,340 --> 01:29:27,400
Today it sends more than 3 million books every single month to children from birth to age 5 regardless of their families income.

1108
01:29:27,400 --> 01:29:33,360
And there's other programs that have sprung up as a result of that, including P.J. Library.

1109
01:29:34,860 --> 01:29:37,720
She also put real resources behind women's health care.

1110
01:29:37,800 --> 01:29:41,320
She helped raise a million dollars for the birthing unit at her local hospital

1111
01:29:41,320 --> 01:29:45,860
and Tennessee, which ultimately led to the Dolly Parton Center for Women's Services.

1112
01:29:46,120 --> 01:29:51,520
That center provides women in a rural community with access to things like maternity care,

1113
01:29:52,660 --> 01:29:55,440
mammograms and other women's health services close to home.

1114
01:29:55,440 --> 01:29:59,740
And she gave millions to children's health care as well, including a million to pediatric.

1115
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:07,820
Cancer, to the pediatric cancer program at Vanderbilt's Children's Hospital, and another million for pediatric infectious disease research.

1116
01:30:08,700 --> 01:30:14,640
But I also think it's meaningful, especially for us as a women's commission, that Dolly was willing to talk about her own experience.

1117
01:30:15,200 --> 01:30:26,480
She struggled with fertility and dealt with endometriosis that ultimately led to a partial hysterectomy. She talked about having imagined having children and then having to accept that it wasn't going to happen.

1118
01:30:26,480 --> 01:30:28,720
And instead of letting that define her,

1119
01:30:28,720 --> 01:30:31,780
she talked about thinking of other people's children as her own,

1120
01:30:32,000 --> 01:30:34,500
I think there's something really beautiful about that,

1121
01:30:34,760 --> 01:30:37,420
taking something painful in your own life and turning it into

1122
01:30:37,420 --> 01:30:40,940
decades of work that made life better for women in children.

1123
01:30:41,600 --> 01:30:44,560
So tonight, I'd like to adjourn our meeting in memory of Dolly Parton

1124
01:30:44,560 --> 01:30:48,480
and in gratitude for the enormous amount of good she put into the world.

1125
01:30:49,600 --> 01:30:50,680
Thank you, Gabby.

1126
01:30:51,940 --> 01:30:53,440
Is there most to adjourn?

1127
01:30:54,660 --> 01:30:56,440
I'm so moved. I second.

1128
01:30:56,840 --> 01:30:57,380
All the favor?

1129
01:30:58,020 --> 01:30:58,180
All right.

1130
01:30:58,780 --> 01:30:59,080
All right.

1131
01:30:59,260 --> 01:31:00,540
Our meeting is adjourned.
