ITEMS FROM STAFF MEMBERS 1. Provide an update to the commission regarding the status of the Municipal Services Building (Devin Stenhouse, DEI Officer) Officer Stenhouse explains that the City has no plans right now for the building. He provides background informa�on regarding the community’s interest in preserving the building. He says that Mayor Coleman is open to a discussion with the public. Ques�ons Vice Chair Perez: Where did this idea originate? • Officer Stenhouse does not know. 2. Provide a summary of the Public Safety Mee�ng on Friday, March 8 (Devin Stenhouse, DEI Officer) Officer Stenhouse explains that the mee�ng was a result of the shoo�ng at St. Augus�ne Church. Chief Campbell provides more details of the incident. 5 Ques�ons Chair Junio asks for verifica�on that the shooter is a resident of San Francisco. • Chief Campbell confirms. • Chair Junio finds it odd that this church was the target. • Chief Campbell offers more informa�on about the shooter including that the shooter’s last name is the link to the church. He also lists the various resources law enforcement used to track down the shooter. Vice Chair Perez: Regarding crime stats, are there any categories that have elevated since 2019 and remain elevated? • Chief Campbell: It’s up and down all over the place. • Vice Chair Perez: It’s nice to see cataly�c converters coming down. • Chief Campbell: A lot of our property crimes have gone down where other ci�es are seeing them rise. Commissioner Bedigian: Is there one area or type of crime residents are most concerned about? • Chief Campbell: Property crime is impac�ng a lot of ci�es. Flash mob vehicle burglaries, stolen vehicles, and general property crime. Not a lot of violent crimes. • Commissioner Hobson-Coard: What about home invasions? • Chief Campbell: We had two home invasions over the last three years, and they were commited by people who were associated with the residents. No random home invasions. Commissioner Hobson-Coard: Are there a lot of fentanyl cases? • Chief Campbell: We have found that most if not all the fentanyl were purchased in San Francisco. We’re trying to stay on top of it. We’re working with the DA on stronger charges against those who sell fentanyl that result in a death. Commissioner Hobson-Coard: What is “Mental Health Commitment?” • Chief Campbell: When an officer or clinician determines that an individual needs immediate assistance and is detained. The clinician follows up and provides resources to get the individual on the right path. We’re seeing a decrease in repeat commitments, and we’re hoping it con�nues in that direc�on. Commissioner Bedigian: How o�en are you seeing that minors are involved? • Chief Campbell: We do not arrest a lot of juveniles. The school district has their own programs in place. We’re working with a partnership program that focuses on youth. • Vice Chair Perez: Do you have a sense of how that number compares to 10 or 20 years ago? • Chief Campbell: I’ve been here for 26 years. It’s hard to scale it because of popula�on growth. The policies and procedures have changed, which skews the numbers. 6 • Vice Chair Perez: So more of rules changing rather than behaviors changing among adolescence. • Chief Campbell: Different approaches. Commissioner Hobson-Coard: Burglaries went down by almost half. • Chief Campbell: Most burglaries were storage units. We’ve worked with storage units to increase security. The City was undergoing a lot of construc�on, and the�s were happening at the construc�on sites. 3. Other announcements Officer Stenhouse announces a few save the dates: • Every Kid Deserves A Bike (EKDAB) program o May 2 – Parkway Heights o May 4 – Monte Verde, Ponderosa, Buri Buri (at former West Orange Library parking lot) o May 6 – Los Cerritos o May 10 – Sunshine Gardens o May 16 – Spruce o May 20 – Mar�n • June 1 – Pride Celebra�on on Grand Avenue • June 8 – San Mateo County Pride Fes�val Commissioner Delgadillo states that he has par�cipated in EKDAB program before. He was shocked at how many kids didn’t know how to ride a bike. • Officer Stenhouse reflects on how emo�onal and beneficial the program is. PUBLIC COMMENT No public comments were made. Chair Junio says he is surprised that with so many public comments made at the previous City Council mee�ng that there are none here. He believes that is due to lack of exposure and reiterates the need to increase exposure of the commission to the public. Chair Junio brings up that Councilmember Nagales would like to receive updates from the commission. • Officer Stenhouse asks for clarifica�on. • Commissioner Sanders suggests that perhaps Councilmember Nagales just wants to hear from the commissioners directly. • Commissioner Hobson-Coard says she’s heard the same request from Councilmember Nagales. Officer Stenhouse summarizes the public comments received at the two previous Council mee�ngs. The comments either advocated for or were against a proclama�on of a ceasefire in Gaza. 7 • Commissioner Yee says he watched some of the comments and overall most people were respec�ul. • Officer Stenhouse reminds commissioners that if public comments are made at a mee�ng regarding items not on the agenda, commissioners are not permited to respond.

ITEMS FROM BOARD MEMBERS, COMMISSIONERS, COMMITTEE MEMBERS 1.

The first part is South City inspira�on of different pages. The second part lists similar commissions/groups outside of the City. Chair Arnio: How many ci�es have equity commissions? • Commissioner Yee: I only found San Francisco. Millbrae is new and does not have a web page yet. Commissioner Yee brings up the confusion that may be caused by the different names for the commission. One web page shows “The South San Francisco Commission on Racial and Social Equity” and another page shows “Equity and Public Safety Commission.” Vice Chair Perez no�ced that the only way to get to the commission page is to scroll down on the Boards and Commissions page. He notes that it would be preferred if the page is listed in the le� naviga�on. • Commissioner Sanders agrees that it’s hard to get to the page. • Officer Stenhouse informs the commission that a new website is currently in development. He advises commissioners to focus on the page content rather than the naviga�on. Commissioner Sanders: What do you mean when you say, “I can build a page?” • Officer Stenhouse explains that he can create new pages on the City’s website. • Commissioner Sanders asks about the Granicus page. o Officer Stenhouse explains that the pages for minutes is a separate website from the commission page; he would not be adding pages to that website. Commissioner Yee and Commissioner Sanders present examples from California’s Racial Equity Commission and San Francisco Community Equity Advisory Council. 8 • California’s Racial Equity Commission o Example pages: About, Members (with links to bios), Mee�ng Info/Agendas, Contact Us, Resources • San Francisco Community Equity Advisory Council (under the Planning Department) o Example pages: About, Members (with short bios), Mee�ng Info, Strategies, Contact o Commissioner Hobson-Coard asks what type of informa�on is in the bios.  Commissioner Yee says some give background and some have Q&A. o Chair Junio comments on how they seem to be focused on housing since they are part of the Planning Department. He states that this commission (SSF) is broader and is s�ll finding its iden�ty.  Commissioner Yee agrees that the web page is where they can state what the commission is focused on. • Chair Junio says he likes the aesthe�cs of the California’s Racial Equity Commission pages. It’s easy on the eyes. Easy and simple is good. o Commissioner Yee: We like the simple and direct. • Officer Stenhouse asks what the San Francisco Community Equity Advisory Council’s summaries look like. o Commissioner Yee looks at one and says they are really simple, short summaries. • Commissioner Yee points out the differences and similari�es between the two samples. Commissioner Yee and Commissioner Sanders would like to incorporate resources and strategies into this commission’s web page. o Commissioner Delgadillo appreciates the presenta�on of the examples. Commissioner Sanders asks if the commission’s page would come up in a Google search. • Officer Stenhouse says he can’t guarantee anything. There is an ac�on report that shows up. He makes sugges�ons on how the different pages and links can be shown. He suggests removing the old commission page and pu�ng that informa�on into a PDF that the new page links to. Commissioner Yee presents a spreadsheet on web page comparisons of features and content types. • Chair Arnio, referring to the data, points out that only two of the sites contain member bios, which is surprising. • Commissioner Yee asks the commission what features they would want to include. o Commissioner Sanders urges the group to make decisions now so that changes can be made soon. • Features/Content Types: o About/Vision/Mission/Purpose/Strategies/Goals  The group decides this is important. o Du�es/Tasks/Responsibili�es  Commissioner Bedigian asks for clarifica�on. 9  Officer Stenhouse explains that the About/Vision would include the bylaws, which is more general. This category would be more specific in terms of du�es and responsibili�es.  Commissioner Yee points out that the du�es are listed on the current page. Officer Stenhouse clarifies that this language is pulled directly from the bylaws.  Commissioner Sanders asks if there are City protocols that define what are considered to be “du�es” etc.  Commissioner Bedigian explains that it’s important to have a place where the du�es/responsibili�es are stated should they need to reference them.  The group agrees to include responsibili�es into About, and that there is no need for a separate page. o Resolu�ons/Outcomes/Our Work  Commissioner Sanders would like to include this and explains why.  The group decides to add this page. o Bylaws/Chapter/Charter/Principles  The group agrees to keep this page. o Members/Staff List  The group agrees to keep this page. o Members/Staff Bio  Chair Junio says he is not against this but asks about what that would look like. Would a template be used?  Commissioner Sanders says commissioners should be able to share what they want to share.  Commissioner Delgadillo agrees and says to keep it professional.  Vice Chair Perez suggests the bio only needs to be a few sentences and to think about what South San Francisco residents would want to know about their commissioners.  Commissioner Sanders agrees to include qualifica�ons.  Commissioner Yee shares that the bios he has seen are varied.  Chair Junio reiterates how surprising it is that only two of the sites have bios.  The group decides to add this page. o Mee�ngs  The group agrees to keep this page. o Agendas  The group agrees to keep this page. o Minutes  The group agrees to keep this page. o Recordings  The group agrees to keep this page. o Calendar/Events  Commissioner Delgadillo asks who would be upda�ng this. 10  Officer Stenhouse says he would update but cau�ons against oversatura�on as there are a lot of events.

For public comments, it’s possible that the commission will be contacted about issues that should be addressed by other commissions.  Commissioner Yee poses the ques�on to the group if they want to be the “triage,” the first point of contact since the commission encompasses a broad range of topics.  The group is hesitant about that idea. o Applica�on/Nomina�on/Selec�on  Group agrees to keep this page. 11 Officer Stenhouse will start building new pages as next steps.

Chair Junio has the option to address this under the Items From Board Members, Commissioners, Committee Members section. There are no changes to the agenda. ITEMS FROM STAFF MEMBERS 1. Officer Stenhouse introduces Assistant City Manager Rich Lee. PUBLIC COMMENT No public comments were made. MATTERS FOR CONSIDERATION 14 1. Approval of Minutes from March 18, 2024. Officer Stenhouse recommends holding on approval of minutes as there are corrections to be made. Chair Junio agrees. 2. The Commission will consider relocating regular meetings to the Library | Parks and Recreation Center. (Devin Stenhouse, DEI Officer) Officer Stenhouse shares that the City Clerk has reviewed the bylaws and concluded that no location was established in the ordinances for these meetings, thus making relocation an easy process. Officer Stenhouse spoke with the Parks and Recreation Facilities Supervisor, who suggested the Art Gallery as a possible location for future meetings. Officer Stenhouse will need to check audio/visual capabilities. Other possible locations have potential conflicts with classes or operating hours. Chair Junio says he would like to visit the space and hope that most, if not all, Commissioners can visit too before making the decision. Commissioner Hobson-Coard suggests having the next meeting at the Art Gallery, and then making the decision of whether the Commission would like to relocate to that space. Officer Stenhouse will check to see if the Art Gallery is available for the next meeting. Officer Stenhouse shares feedback he has received from the public. This (City Hall) location is not central to the City. Accessing this room (City Manager Conference Room) can be challenging at times. The lighting outside may not feel adequate when it’s dark. With regard to the Library | Parks and Recreation Center (LPR), parking may not be accessible. Commissioner Cansino shares that it’s difficult for her to get up the stairs here. She also points out that having the meetings at a public space like LPR means more Commission accessibility and exposure to the public. Commissioner Bedigian believes that more people know where LPR is than City Hall. The group agrees to have the next meeting at the LPR Art Gallery to test the space. Commissioner Hobson-Coard shares that she likes the current space because the location is convenient and quiet. 3. The Commission will consider volunteering at each of the Every Kid Deserves a Bike program events. (Devin Stenhouse, DEI Officer) Officer Stenhouse provides background information on the Every Kid Deserves a Bike (EKDAB) program. The program needs volunteers to help assist with teaching children how to ride bicycles. Officer Stenhouse details the dates and times volunteers are needed. Chair Junio explains that he hopes to have at least one commissioner at each of these events. 15 1.

Commissioner Cansino asks what the commissioners would do at the table. Officer Stenhouse explains that awareness is the main objective. He suggests an option would be to create a pamphlet to hand out. It is an opportunity to hear community concerns. Commissioner Cansino thinks it might be a good idea to offer a giveaway (like sunglasses) in exchange for someone filling out a survey. She asks if there’s a budget for these items. Officer Stenhouse says yes. Chair Junio expresses concern about timing. The June 1st Pride event will come fast. Officer Stenhouse recommends tabling in shifts and in groups of two. Commissioner Cansino asks who is responsible for set up and break down. Officer Stenhouse explains that it depends on the event and provides details on what would be needed from the Commission. 16 Vice Chair Perez says he would be available for the Pride event. Officer Stenhouse offers to gather everyone’s availability for future events, which will allow the Commission to decide whether to table. Commissioner Bedigian is not available June 1st. Chair Junio is available June 1st. He is confident they will have enough volunteers to participate in the Pride event. He feels strongly that the Commission should move forward with tabling at events. Commissioner Cansino motions to table at June 1st Pride event. Vice Chair Perez seconds. The Commission voted to approve the motion 6-0. Public Comment [1:05:30] Woman asks what the goal of tabling is. Is it to build awareness? What’s the plan to address concerns residents may have? Officer Stenhouse reiterates that tabling would offer exposure for the Commission. Increase awareness that the Commission exists. The purpose of the Commission is to be the ears and the voice of the population. Chair Junio suggests a subcommittee to plan for the June 1st event. Commissioner Cansino volunteers to lead the subcommittee. Chair Junio and Commissioner Delgadillo volunteer to be part of the subcommittee. ITEMS FROM BOARD MEMBERS, COMMISSIONERS, COMMITTEE MEMBERS 1. Chair Junio brings up email notifications he has received from the City. Chair Junio mentions that the email regarding the Farmers’ Market included information, a call out, about a City’s department that will be at the upcoming Farmers' Market. He likes that these emails inform the public about things they may not be aware of. He believes the Commission should be a part of the Farmers’ Market at a later date. Officer Stenhouse details the different email newsletters sent out from the City and other departments. 2. Commissioner Cansino refers to the previous minutes that mention Councilmember Nagales wanting to hear from Commissioners directly. Commissioner Cansino shares that she had a great conversation with Councilmember Nagales. She reminds everyone that the Commission had been focused on mental health previously. It seems that the Commission has moved on, and Commissioner Cansino wonders what the next topic of focus should be. She suggests putting the discussion on the agenda. Chair Junio agrees that he would like the Commission to identify a subject to focus on next. He mentions that he spoke with the Assistant City Manager of Mountain View because they are one 17 of the few cities that have a commission similar to this one. He expresses that he wants the Commission to hit its goal of tabling at events. Officer Stenhouse shares that Councilmember Nagales has spoken to different chairs of various commissions. Council is looking for updates and check-ins at a Council meeting from all commissions. Officer Stenhouse recommends selecting a Council meeting date to provide an update. He reminds everyone that there was a decision to focus on child care as well as seniors. The subcommittees should be doing research on content. Officer Stenhouse gives an overview of City programs that cater to seniors. He gives examples of organizations outside of the City that can potentially be brought in to present to the Commission. He urges the subcommittees to let him know if there are specific individuals or groups they want him to invite to the Commission meetings. Commissioner Cansino feels the commissioners need to spend time to discuss these matters. 3. Commissioner Hobson-Coard brings up the Every Kid Deserves a Bike program. She asks if there’s help for seniors who cannot afford to buy assisted devices, like wheelchairs or walkers. Officer Stenhouse recalls that there is an organization that provides that assistance. They take donations of items like wheelchairs, walkers, and portable toilets, then host events to give those items to those in need. Commissioner Hobson-Coard mentions that Sunshine Gardens Pharmacy has something similar. Officer Stenhouse clarifies that the Commission would promote these organizations, not create a program that offers similar services. The Commission should seek to find out how to provide support for these existing organizations. Commissioner Cansino asks if there’s a day to celebrate the elderly. Officer Stenhouse believes there’s an annual Senior Picnic. Commissioner Cansino suggests that is an event commissioners can help out at. Officer Stenhouse says there is also a Senior Health Fair. He encourages commissioners to volunteer at these events and to talk to seniors to hear from them directly. 4. Officer Stenhouse recommends that commissioners either attend or listen to City Council meetings and be aware of current topics of concern for the public. He also suggests being aware of the topics of discussion at other commission meetings. Commissioner Cansino asks if there are any commissions that have recommended to Council in support of a ceasefire in Gaza. Officer Stenhouse says no commission has advocated for or against the ceasefire. He shares that a couple councilmembers have said they are open to agendizing the item.
