>> chair ronen: good. thank you. >> my name is aaron burris, and i believe that my qualifications for this reentry council comes from my ability to shift 22 years inside california department of corrections and coming out and becoming a community advocate up until my discharge of patrol and continuing in san francisco. i've been very supportive of the community. what i do is i bring the corporate executive that i do on my national programs around juvenile reform, and i also bring in the housing case manager down here to cover the survival network. i work with lou gordon, and my parole advocate. i piloted the peer entry program in alameda county for parole so that lifers would have people who could steer them through the reentry process. as a former veteran, a disabled veteran, i have ties to addiction circles. it's a really big problem, and veterans are a huge homeless population. what all of this has done for me is it's allowed me to vel an understandian -- develop a program for working in the community.

and i wanted to thank and recognize supervisor ronen and supervisor walton who also have agreed in the intervening week to be co-sponsors. it means a lot to have all of your support on this. and i know that it means a lot to the tenants of midtown and to have a majority of the board of supervisors supporting this measure. but we really hope that others will get on board and we can send a strong signal hopefully with unanimous support on this. at the previous hearing i discussed if detail the history of midtown, the context for this proposal. i explained our proposed amendments and their rationale. in the interest of time, i know that you have a busy agenda, i do not plan to cover that ground again today unless there's specific questions. i do, however, have a few minor amendments. i will be requesting today, which we are assured by the city attorney, that are all non-substantive amendments and really just intended to provide greater clarity on the implementation side of this program. the amendments will clarify the time period that most c.d. will have to implement the program. after me
