RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
It is recommended commissioners will discuss this year’s priorities and reprioritizing goals for the rest of the current year as well as review the drafted slide deck to present to City Council on December 11.
Body
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
In early 2024, commissioners voted to proceed with the following priorities in 2024 (not in any order):
• Childcare options for families with young children
• Services for senior citizens (emphasis on veterans)
• Increase public visibility
Childcare Options for Families with Young Children
2/26/24: Presentation from SSF Youth Enrichment Services and Early Learning Program Supervisors
2/26/24: Subcommittee created: Commissioner Perez (no longer with the commission) and Commissioner Bedigan
6/24/24: Commissioner Bedigan requested a presentation on the current Child Care Master Plan. The presentation is still being developed.
9/16/24: Presentation from City of South San Francisco Parks and Recreation Department
Services for Senior Citizens (emphasis on veterans)
9/16/24: Presentation from City of South San Francisco Parks and Recreation Department
2/26/24: Subcommittee created: Commissioner Cansino and Vice Chair Hobson-Coard
Increase Visibility
2/26/24: The Commission established a subcommittee intended to research and develop ideas to inspire a new webpage on the City’s website which would be dedicated to this commission. At the time, this would have been the third City of SSF commission webpage (in addition to the Planning and Youth Advisory Commissions), however, since the City rolled out its enhanced website on July 16, both of those webpages no longer exist, thus this commission will not proceed with creating a dedicated page. That said, commissioners have decided to proceed with adding bios to their linked names on the existing webpage which includes all commissions as well as a profile picture.
6/1/24: Commissioners attended the SSF’s Pride Celebration
October ’24: Sweatshirts with the City’s seal and “Commission on Equity and Public Safety” will be ordered for each commissioner.
CONCLUSION
Commissioners will discuss this year’s priorities as well as discuss the potential of reprioritizing priorities for the rest of the current year.
