A.  LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
                                                             Chair Illo          5 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.

B. NO APPEAL OF 48-HR RULE VIOLATIONS Chair Illo 15 min

Staff have received several complaints recently from clients claiming to have been DOS’d for violating the 48-Hour rule. There is some indication shelters have been enforcing this more aggressively lately. In light of this, the fact that there is no appeal when a client is DOS’d for this reason is especially concerning.

Public Comment will be heard before any action.

Proposed Action: Ask the full Committee to ask HSH to explain this rule and consider whether arbitration/ appeals should be available as in other DOS situations.
