I. CALL TO ORDER/ROLL CALL/AGENDA ADJUSTMENTS
A. LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Chair Illo 3 min
The Shelter Monitoring Committee acknowledges that we are on the unceded ancestral homeland of the Ramaytush Ohlone, who are the original inhabitants of the San Francisco Peninsula. As the Indigenous stewards of this land, and in accordance with their traditions, the Ramaytush Ohlone have never ceded, lost, nor forgotten their responsibilities as the caretakers of this place, as well as for all peoples who reside in their traditional territory. As guests, we recognize that we benefit from living and working on their traditional homeland. We wish to pay our respects by acknowledging the Ancestors, Elders, and Relatives of the Ramaytush Ohlone community and by affirming their sovereign rights as First Peoples.

A. SUBCOMMITTEE REPORT Discussion /Action 12 min
Subcommittee Chair, Members
There was a quorum at the Subcommittee meeting. Staff reported that visits to Navigation Centers have begun. Members shared days/times that work well for them. Staff will send out an inspection schedule, taking this and the preferences of other Members into account. Members also discussed staff’s draft online site visit checklist, the tracking tool staff are hoping to implement for complaint handling, and whether the Committee should reduce the frequency of meetings. There has been increased security at shelters in the wake of a violent incident in January. Assuming HSH contracts do not place this out of bounds, SMC inspection checklists should include a question about the training of security personnel.
Public Comment will be heard before any actions.
Proposed Actions: Have staff ask HSH to provide: (1) data on DOSs for alleged threats or acts of violence; (2) information on current equity initiatives; and (3) what arrangements exist covering security at shelters.
