see a nod. All right. I know the mics are we're sharing mics today, so we just got to grab the mic. Don't drop it.

Thank

you. So a big busy week. It is the first opening week of the Sports Bonanza of 2026. Mary Gilmore, thank you so much for being here. I know that it's a lot of happenings happening in your city right now. And also to all of our law enforcement partners and human trafficking coalition members, thank you so much for being here. I know that right after this meeting, you're back out to where you need to be to make sure that our safety net and all of our resources are being directed in the right way and lifted in the right way. So at this time, we're going to move on to the first item in the agenda, which

is public comment. This item is reserved for persons who wish to address the committee on any matter within the subject matter, jurisdiction of the committee that is not on the agenda. Within the subject matter, jurisdiction of the committee and not on the agenda. And just a reminder to any potential public comments. Members of the board, thank you so much for being here. Thank you so much for joining us. You really made this session worth it. And so I just wanted to make sure that you just say a couple of things. One is a request to speak to the public. The law does not permit committee action or extended discussion of any item not on the

agenda except under very specific significant circumstances that would have to be approved by our lawyer in the room. Mary, thank you. All right. So I decide I turn to the clerk, are there any members of the public who wish to address the committee either in person or remotely? We

do have requests to speak in the room, and we do have two requests to speak online.

Fantastic. So we'll close the queue as the first speaker begins speaking. Just to use a close to your name in case you need to speak to an And each person will get three minutes. I'd

like to call Gilbert Ramos to the podium.

You'll have three minutes to speak. Timer will start when you begin speaking.

Hi, good afternoon, co -chairs and members of the commission. My name is Gilbert Ramos. I'm with the Office of Speaker Robert Rivas. I just want to first say thank you for the opportunity to speak here today. Just providing some brief updates from the state. Last month, the state legislator reconvened. It's second year of the two -year session where members are required of this two -year session. While members are required to pass legislation introduced in the first house in the first year of the two -year session last week, members are currently introducing bills for the upcoming year. And this is going to include legislation related to human trafficking.

The

last day for bill introduction is going to be Friday. February 20th. So we're still seeing what's going to be coming up for this upcoming year.

Currently, we could say that the state is focused on ensuring that trafficking and sex work related bills, particularly AB 379, are implemented.

We're

also looking at other ways to track how effective our laws, particularly new ones like AB 379, are in curbing. And we're also looking at how effective our laws are in curbing trafficking and sex work related crimes. With the Super

Bowl and World

Cup being held in California this year, or at least upcoming year, trafficking prevention is going to be particularly important.

However,

new funding is going to be pretty difficult, just given the state's current fiscal situation, which is expected to get worse in the upcoming years. That's why partnerships like this commission are working. are absolutely critical um i know in my past presentation i i made comments in reference to

funding

related to cal oes and the

2026

fifa world cup there are two sources of funding the first one it was a 10 million dollar allocation that was for operations to support the two host committees uh the allocations were agreed the the split was agreed by the the host committees and it was a 50 50 50 split there was a s that was for operational cost for the host committees and then seven million dollars uh for security costs in which

uh

the host committees agreed to a split based on the numbers of games that each

uh

committee would host and that was a 60 -40 split that's 4 .2 million dollars for los angeles and 2 .8 for the bay area

thank

you for the opportunity to share happy to stick around in case anybody has any any questions that i could refer to the speakers policy team

thank

you thank you gilbert right on time too

and

i'll now move over to the zoom speakers we have two speakers our first speaker is parent you'll have three minutes to speak timer will start when you begin speaking

yes hello good afternoon to you all i first started telling jeff rosen eight

more than eight years ago that my children were being sexually molested and they were being sex trafficked

my

son he complained that beginning at the age of 13 he my ex -wife was letting somebody rape him there was unnecessary bathing with the children

there

was sexual contact between two of the children

and this all

caused my children to be in great distress i mean it's clear to me that they're all being molested and jeff rosen

his

only response was to file charges against me in an attempt to conceal this abuse

and uh i mean

it's just terrible if you look at his instagram and he's for him running for for da for his re -election bid he's posting all these speeches

or

one speech and he had a speech last week and he said he was being molested and he was being molested and he had a speech last week in the in these chambers and and he accepted an award for sex trafficking in san francisco you'd think that he's some kind of hero but he's not what he's doing to other people's children is just terrible and these charges are incentivizing

physical

assaults against me i don't know if you guys read about a couple months ago in the silicon valley voice an article about anthony becker the writer compared jeff rosen to tony soprano and i believe this comparison is fair because he made an offer that i shouldn't refuse that if i don't shut up about my abuse my abuse my assaults and the sexual abuse of my children that i'd be killed and i'm going to die from these injuries and uh you can see what happened with daniel chong he wanted to help you you know and and and and and you know a couple weeks after i begged for his help jeff rosen he could have he

fired him and he could have sent hr to fire him but he didn't he sent three armed men

colin

can you pause the clock piece

um

sir please keep your comments within the scope of the the topic of jurisdiction of this committee i understand that that there's a lot of um concern from you um which our office will gladly receive but please keep your public comment to the scope of this um of this committee um and continue the clock

my

comments pertain to sex trafficking and that's what this the topic of this committee is human trafficking

and

if whether it's the district attorney that's doing it or it's whether a street pimp who's doing it it's still sex trafficking

and this

district attorney he supports sex trafficking

he's

doing terrible things to this community

and

i post a lot of this information about sex trafficking on my children online

if

you'd like to see it all you have to do is google d .a jeff rosen sex trafficking in the first top three results

you'll

see what i'm talking about

it's

just terrible what he's doing to our community to our children

and

he should be removed from office but he's not he's going to win re -election

and

it's terrible

thank

you so much for your time

next

speaker is paul soto you will have three minutes to speak

the

timer will start when you begin speaking

oh

yes paul soto from the horseshoe

david

silver it's a pleasure to be able to share uh a meeting with you

it's

been a long time

um i want

to thank the committee for the work that they're doing i defined it as uh human trafficking as the exploitation of another human being by somebody that is in a position of power

that's

why i define human trafficking

and

that power can be come from various uh entities it could come from a pimp that's slapping around a woman

it

could come from a pimp that's slapping around a man

you know

there's there's there's there's homosexual sex trafficking as well

not

just necessarily man to woman

um it

uh it pains me that there's this constant dehumanization that goes on here because i think what the purview of this meeting is is to prevent the dehumanization of other human beings

and

i think that that's what we do here

all

of us collectively as a society as a county

when

a man like the one previous speaker speaks on human trafficking issues and we have somebody like supervisor betty young sticking her nose in his business knowing that he's talking about sex trafficking

he

was very clear on that so i said

i

would really appreciate her not sticking her nose in my business

um jeff

rosen you're a you're i've reported many crimes i've been the victim of shootings

some

an attempted murder political murder

uh there's

your chief investigator anthony mata uh received an email three months before the murders of michael macias and jesse sanchez at councilwoman rebecca admin dallas's house now he was a chief of police at that time so if the chief of police after receiving a report that i was shot upon and that i had evidence of it and it involved rebecca mendatis and no investigation was opened that means that's a criminal neglect on your chief investigator anthony mata because he didn't open up the case and i've been abused by your office constantly filing protective order violations that have no basis in law so i'm really sorry to be saying this to you right now damon but there

is a mess for you uh from me at your office that i submitted this morning so it's coincidental that you're here now that i hope you get my phone number from your secretary to give me a call because i'd like to have a meeting between myself you and jeff rosen

to

stop these abuses of my government towards me because of my advocacy

i'm

the only threat that i pose to this county is that i possess the truth about a dirty secret

and

that concludes our request to speak thank you colin we're gonna move on now to consent calendar and approval of the agenda so at this time if any member of the commission would like to change the agenda proposed changes or items for consent i'm looking around the room you might have to wave your hand

um uh good afternoon Good afternoon, Casey Halkin, Deputy County Executive, and I will allow my co -participants to introduce themselves.

Hi, I'm Carla Collins with the Office of Gender -Based Violence Prevention. Jessie Yu with the Office of Labor Standards Enforcement.

Maribel Martinez, Program Manager III with the Division of Equity and Social Justice.

And I believe we have some other presenters joining us, looking for chairs.

Anna Anton with Santa Clara Valley Health Care.

Sylvia Pena, ER Physician and

SART Medical Director.

Jennifer Putoff, Program Manager with the Children's Advocacy Center, District Attorney's Office Victim Services Unit.

And

I'll turn it over to Maribel. Good

afternoon. I will begin with reports from the Office of Gender -Based Violence Prevention, then pass it along to my colleagues. Since fall of 2025, Office of Gender -Based Violence Prevention and the Office of the County Executive have been in conversations with various organizations. The Office of Gender -Based Violence Prevention and the Office of the County Executive have been in conversations with various departments about how best to utilize existing resources to respond to upcoming large -scale sports events and whether it might be possible to request additional funds from state, federal, or external agencies. Specifically conversations have been ongoing with the Office of Supportive Housing to address the requests around emergency housing and shelter spaces presented by

the No Traffic Ahead Voices, Victims Outreach, Identification, Care, and Empowerment Services request. Through meetings, calls, and email exchanges, we've learned that the request is for the summer activities associated with the FIFA World Cup. From Voices, the human trafficking response related to the Super Bowl is being absorbed by existing contracts. The World Cup event spans a longer length of time, attracting an international crowd. And this is significant, as a notable share of victims are foreign nationals trafficked for labor and sex trafficking. Often lured by false promises. Immigration status is frequently used by traffickers as a tool of coercion, making foreign -born individuals highly vulnerable to exploitation.

In

the initial exploration, Office of Gender -Based Violence Prevention and Office of Supportive Housing looked at potential partnerships from outside the area of county entities, as it is anticipated that local Bay Area housing inventory will be unavailable due to sports events bookings.

Office

of the County Executive has been working closely with the Office of Supportive Housing and the County Executive is working with other county partners to explore opportunities to utilize their shelter services, as there are several reasons why it makes sense for human trafficking survivors to leave the area for shelter during this time.

The

second exploration was for the use of county buildings for temporary use of housing.

In

this review, no vacant or underutilized spaces were deemed appropriate for this function.

Additionally,

the specific needs of survivors, such as medical, psychological, and social, are not as likely to be met by generalized

or

makeshift shelters.

When

those needs are not met, the chances of survivors successfully reentering or repatriating back to their home communities are very low.

Even

survivors who do receive effective aftercare remain vulnerable if the risks that brought them into trafficking are not removed or addressed.

Office

of Supportive Housing explained that it can't hold housing units vacant for several reasons.

However,

it can offer an option through existing shelter contracts. For example, a contract with the YWCA to provide emergency shelter at hotels for survivors of domestic violence. These funds can be used to support survivors of human trafficking. Office of Supportive Housing will connect with vendors to explore options of using existing contracts for upcoming events.

Office

of Gender -Based Violence Prevention, along with the Office of the County Executive, Office of Governmental Relations, and the Office of the County Executive will also connect with vendors to explore options of using existing contracts for upcoming events. Office of Emergency Management has explored the potential for additional funding related to emergency response from state and federal funding streams that could be requested to support human trafficking response. And a response is expected soon. Lastly, the Office of Gender -Based Violence Prevention and the Office of the County Executive are exploring opportunities to redirect unutilized existing funding to support underfunded services, particularly for human trafficking. World Trade Center is also working to support underfunded services. On

raising

awareness, Office of Gender -Based Violence Prevention continues to support the No Trafficking Ahead efforts to launch a resource navigator website through their Safety for the Bay website, including DESJ, Division of Equity and Social Justice, social media highlighting the messages and being recognized as a key partner, also promoting the recognition of January 12th. As a human trafficking prevention month. Happy to answer questions at the end of all the presentations and with that I hand it over to my colleague in the Office of Labor Standards and Enforcement, Jessie Yu.

Thank you. Good afternoon. I'm Jessie Yu with the Office of Labor Standards and Enforcement. Thank you for the opportunity to provide an update on the status of our preventative community outreach and education activities and impact. In addition to resources we've created for workers in advance of the large sporting events happening in Santa Clara County. Thank you.

I'm Jessie Yu, the Office of Labor Standards and Enforcement. Our organization is a nonprofit organization that focuses on serving vulnerable and low -wage workers and small businesses in Santa Clara County. Our partners provide three main services. First, direct in -person community engagement through resource sharing and brief conversations. Secondly, in -person and online training. trainings focused on labor topics such as wage and hour laws, immigrant workers' rights and business compliance of immigration laws, discrimination and harassment, sexual harassment and sexual assault, retaliation, and labor trafficking. And thirdly, they provide free legal services through an advice line and community legal clinic. In the last six months, from July 1st to December 31st, 2025, our community partners have engaged

over 400 businesses and almost 4 ,000 workers, trained over 170 businesses and over 430 workers, responded to over 300 advice line calls from workers and small businesses, served over 50 workers at the community clinics, and returned over $100 ,000 in unpaid wages through community services. We're encouraged to find that almost 70 % of the individuals who call the free advice line are referred through a trusted source like a state or local enforcement agency or family or friend or learned about it through our community. In addition to our partner outreach, we'll see has developed resources for workers and employers in advance of the large sporting events happening this year. A large number of fan events, concerts,

viewing parties, and games themselves will be staffed by permanent and temporary employees in Santa Clara County who are checking tickets, serving food and drinks, cleaning stadiums, providing security, helping visitors find their way, and helping them create unforgettable experiences. So we want to make sure that we're able to ensure that these workers get the respect and the pay that they deserve by creating awareness around the three most common labor concerns addressed by the California Labor Commissioner's Office through the wage claim process. First, minimum wage rates, which we've highlighted at Levi Stadium and at the SAP Center and the San Jose Convention Center by highlighting the City of San Jose and City of Santa Clara minimum wages.

Secondly, through overtime wages, and third, meal and rest breaks. The resource encourages workers and employers to call the free attorney staffed advice line. We're also encouraging workers to call the free attorney staffed advice line, and if they have questions, we have staff available in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese, Tagalog, and Visayan to write information and answer questions. OLC's community partners already have this postcard -sized copy of the resource, and we'll be sharing it at upcoming fan events and viewing parties to workers and attendees for awareness. There are also soft copies available online at the meeting agenda today, and physical copies of the postcard are available in the back of the chambers for those interested. Thank you

for the opportunity to provide an update, and I'll pass it on

to

Anna Anton. Thank you. On behalf of Santa Clara Valley Healthcare and the Safe Plus program, I am here to share today that throughout 2025, we have diligently been working to implement additional screening tools in all of our enterprise emergency departments for red flags of human trafficking. Patients who are then flagged as positive in that screening are then privately interviewed. And the Safe Plus team and or the medical clinic at the CAC are consulted. Additionally, many staff have participated in local human trafficking trainings, as well as our department putting on trainings, not only for our own emergency departments, but many of our partner emergency departments on both human trafficking training documents, as well as brief in

services to help their staff also identify

human trafficking red flags. Thanks, Anna. Thank you. Jennifer Putoff again, program manager at the Children's Advocacy Center. Thank you for having me, and really thank you to the Commission for your continued leadership and commitment to this critical work. Today, I'm going to provide a brief update on our training identification efforts and the ways that the CAC continues to raise awareness and really strengthen our response to human trafficking. Since opening the CAC in April 2021, we have served 4 ,038 children and teens. While fewer than 1 % of those cases involve specific concerns for trafficking, we know that many of the youth we serve are at heightened risk due to sexual abuse, severe neglect, or family

violence. That makes prevention and early intervention not just important, but essential. The CAC is committed not only to responding when harm occurs, but preventing exploitation before it happens. As a part of this commitment, our prevention education efforts equip both adults and children, with the tools to prevent, and to help. In October, the CAC secured grant funding from Three Strands Global Foundation to implement the PROTECT curriculum, prevention organized to educate children on trafficking.

Members

of our multidisciplinary team and members of the task force completed the Trainer of Trainers program, so we can bring this education directly into our community. PROTECT offers age -appropriate curriculum for students K -12, professional development for educators. And training for caregivers. We launched our first session at the Hub last week in San Jose with parents who are current and former foster youth.

This

year, we plan to offer at least three additional training courses in non -traditional spaces, such as libraries, after -school programs, park and recreation sites, and faith -based settings.

Our

goal is simple, normalize conversations about safety, empower young people with knowledge, and interrupt abuse and exploitation before it begins. We are actively pursuing additional grants and partnerships to scale this work across the County. Access to support is equally critical.

Our

CAC website provides caregivers, parents, and community members, as well as youth, with practical resources on digital safety, child sexual abuse exploitation, and prevention services.

This

week, the NTA web -based resource Safety for the Bay will also go live on the CAC website to quickly offer clear and reliable access to community -driven safety information. Thank

you.

Operationally, the CAC remains available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to support our law enforcement, medical, and child welfare partners. Through funding from the National Children's Alliance grant, we expanded our forensic interviewing capacity with upgraded equipment and a third interview room. This additional dedicated space allows us to respond immediately without delay when a youth discloses abuse or concerns for trafficking. Our on -site medical clinic and hotline, staffed in partnership with the Safe Plus team, provides around -the -clock consultation and care. Last year alone, the CAC Medical Clinic received 1 ,087 referrals from local law enforcement and DFCS professionals, and they conducted 820 medical visits, ensuring youth receive specialized timely medical evaluations and care.

And training really remains another cornerstone of the MDT approach at the CAC. We cross -train our local law enforcement. We work with local law enforcement agencies so that alongside a professional forensic interview staff, a child or a teen has access at any hour to a developmentally appropriate, legally sound, and trauma -informed interview. In partnership

with the

National Crime and Justice Training Center, we hosted the first ever advanced forensic interviewing or child sex trafficking training on the West Coast, bringing detectives and investigators from across the state of California together to further develop their skills in understanding how to best interview minor victims of trafficking. And earlier this year, the CAC was formally embedded into the county's human trafficking guidelines. This is really an important step that helps strengthen our multidisciplinary coordination and ensure consistent victim -centered response at the CAC for minors who've experienced trafficking as well. And finally, we're really excited to add another layer of support. Later this month, we'll be welcoming a new CAC staff member. His name is Brooks. He's a

facility dog from Assistance Dogs of the West.

Brooks

will be accompanying youth. During forensic interviews, medical exams, and court proceedings, and really helping to reduce anxiety, build trust, and create a greater sense of safety for our youth.

We

are proud of the progress we've made, and we remain

focused

on doing more at the CAC. We want to thank you for your partnership and really for continuing to prioritize the safety and well -being of children and youth in our community. Thank you.

Thank

you. And I'd like to invite Clarence with any updates from DFCS, please.

All

right. Thank you. Clarence Cisnetos -Jones. I'm the program coordinator. I'm the social services program manager at Department of Family and Children Services. So I manage our transitional shelter care facility, the welcoming center, and our transformation team who works with our CSEC youths. Updates that we have for 2025. So DFCS has completed updated CSEC training

with

all of the staff on the hotlines, our CAN center staff, our emergency response, and our dependency investigation staff. As well as with community partners. So that's taken place over the last couple of months. We've also sent out reminders to all law enforcement jurisdictions regarding the hotline. And there's special PIN codes to escalate calls. So that's been completed. Also facial recognition software will be used at the events to support identification. And for us in DFCS, as well as the welcoming center. Just ensuring for safety. Photos of all youth are taken upon entry. So when youth come in, do their intake at the welcoming center and our transitional shelter care facilities. Making sure we're taking photos so

that we can recognize a lot of the youth.

Additional staffing for board coverage for emergency response. Referrals. Basically to ensure there's adequate staff for joint responses. As well as support to transport youth. So just keeping in mind, you know, there's capacity at all of our sites, right? Our facilities, our transitional shelter care facility and the welcoming center. Currently two of our three facilities are at capacity and our third facility is close to capacity. The welcoming center has got some space. But there may be that we need to transport youth, you know, back to their county or to different places. So we have social workers. Willing and able to support as well as outreach to other caregivers this week for any additional temporary placement options

that we may need to utilize. So those have been some of the things we've been doing over these last couple months

to

prepare for this week.

Thank you so much. And with that, we're happy to take any questions. Oh,

sorry. We're going to go to the next presentation. Received report from the South Bay Coalition to End Human Trafficking relating to regional coordination and outreach efforts. Thank

you. Sorry for that delay. I was just getting loaded up. Could I just make a comment

before about the OLSC? Or are we waiting? That's all right. Go ahead. Go ahead. Oh, I did want to say that for the OLSC, thanks to the South Bay Coalition, we are now handing out SB 1193 posters to businesses as well. Thank you, Ruth.

These are the

updated SB 1193 posters that we'll be able to provide to businesses. I'll be sharing some of the outreach tools that we've developed. Let me get myself together over here. I'm sharing a direct South Bay Coalition and full screen mode. Here we go. So we've been pretty busy with a lot of the outreach items, but I wanted to provide an update for Perla Flores, who can't be here today. They had the Voices Summit. And again,

Voices is

the advocacy committee for No Traffic Ahead. And so it's a regional group that is together. They had a summit just a few weeks ago. And in that summit, there were 55 attendees from over eight counties, Alameda County, Santa Clara, San Benito, San Francisco, San Mateo, Napa, Solano, and Sonoma. It was an all -day event, and included in the agenda for the Voices Summit, attendees learned about in -person response strategies,

some

foundational case management best practices, as well as an overview of multi -victim operations. And what that looks like. And I just want to flag again, in Santa Clara County, we have a very unique model for multi -victim operations that a lot of counties have not been able to replicate. Part of that is due to capacity. There have even been requests from other counties to have the advocacy service providers here assist with law enforcement operations. And so it was a really good, unique opportunity to build capacity across the region and a lot of interest from the advocates.

And

I will also just provide updates for No Traffic Ahead. We continue to have participating agencies send us their logos, so I might even be missing a few. I know DESJ sent us their logo. I haven't been able to upload it. But it's definitely a building at this time. We're getting more buy -in from across the region from a wide diversity of agencies, service providers as well. Last week, yes, last week, I presented to a conference in Solano County, and there was a number of agencies interested as well, so that's great news. Our website has now been live for about two weeks, and there have been little hiccups here and there. But for the most part,

we're getting really great feedback, and we're getting more buy -in. So agencies are reaching out to make sure that their information is included on the website. Again, we are including 16 different safety violations. So looking at more of a human rights approach, we're including things like sexual assault, domestic violence, housing instability, but also things like hate crimes, cyber violence, or state violence. State violence has been one that a number of agencies have been curious about as it relates to if there are protests and any kind of state agency enforcement, how can people find ways to report that or get help that they might need. And so that's something that's on the site. And again, I

encourage partners to take a look at these individual pages and provide feedback. We're including direct information on the bottom of the homepage for law enforcement agencies. We've included the five core agencies where we anticipate a lot of the watch parties to be happening, especially with regards to World Cup, but different events happening. I also wanted to flag that we've now added a button for consulates.

I'll be

speaking more in a minute, but we provided a presentation to some of the consulates up in San Francisco.

We are now moving into the next stage of the website, and that's going to be for translation of the billboard campaign, as well as the website, which is going to be a little bit of a pretty large undertaking. We already have the billboard campaign translated into Spanish and vetted through advocates who work on human trafficking to make sure the messaging resonates. Ideally, we would like to do focus groups with Spanish -speaking community to make sure the message hits. Similarly, we're going to be doing focus groups with individuals who speak Vietnamese, Chinese, and if we can, I think we already have Tagalog actually set up, but Hindi as well. And so that's the next stage for

the site.

Current placements. I mentioned Solano County. We're in their transit.

Vacaville, actually, it's a billboard. And then for Fairfield, we're going to be in their transit buses.
