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.

A.  SUBCOMMITTEE REPORT Discussion /Action 20 min

Subcommittee Chair, Members

There was a quorum at the May Subcommittee meeting. There was extensive discussion of security at shelters. Members agree on the need for training and for more data. It would be helpful to know how many clients are “DOS’d into police custody,” and whether things are improving (and what sites, if any, are not seeing improvements). The banners recently appearing in the ONE system came up in Public Comments. Their wide visibility and the wording in some of them is a concern. Finally, the Subcommittee unanimously voted to ask if the full Committee agreed that some meetings should be held at shelters, to encourage client participation and give Members more visibility.

Explanatory documents – Draft Minutes of May Subcommittee meeting.

Public Comment will be heard before any actions.

Proposed Actions: Shall the Committee look for sites that would be willing to host a meeting of either the Subcommittee or the full Committee?

B. MORE GRANULARITY/DETAIL IN SOCs Chair Illo 10 min

The Committee will consider pursuing a change in SOCs that currently cover too broad an array of issues (especially SOC #1), e.g., into two or more categories in order to capture more information on what sort of violations are being alleged.

Public Comment will be heard before any action.
