>> i have comments over on this side. >> you must have difficulty looking this way. >> thank you. you have missed me. i just wanted to mention again the request that we agenda it is a closed session for consideration of establishing a process to select a new director. this is explained in the city charter. this is not a decision to be made by the mayor's office and this is not a decision to be made by the president of this commission, this is to be
1:39 am
established by the commission itself. it does require being put on the agenda. that is within the rights of this commission. until this is agenda eyes, we cannot begin the process. -- until this is on the agenda, we cannot begin the process we want to make sure that the position is legally posted, a proper amount of time goes by, then it is up to this commission to select three nominees. she can choose among those three if she is not pleased with the selections. it is up to us and then we can
1:40 am
look at other nominees. we have to get the ball rolling the matter who is the mayor. we should agenda it is -- put a closed session on the agenda. >> there's no obligation that we opposed this. >> this will be at the wisdom of the president. >> right. >> does this need to be formal? >> we would just collectively discuss how we want to proceed. >> ok. >> we would just leave this that
1:41 am
should we just leave this. >> this is just a closed session. it is difficult for us to get in one room. it is easier for us to get to our states in january? >> well, if we are e-mail to the days that work best, then we can respond to those. >> we are not doing it without her. i am flexible. in the last time we did it on a saturday morning and that seems to work really well, for me anyway.

1:44 am
hot -- i will seek some clarification on what the items will be. >> i believe that we have some last-minute public comment. >> ok. >> this is a small comment. i just want you to know that my daughter has worked very hard to create an environment where it is not an adversarial thing for people to get permits to work
1:45 am
with the police, to work with the entertainment and to keeping you working, friendly, and she cares about it. it is interesting for me to see this and for her to be so interested in this and making it come to pass. this would not have happened without her. >> i agree. >> i want you to be my mother. >> i think what she has to say about making the city liable and keeping it for those who live there but also making it for those who come from the outside to come to the city and why they come to the city and make sure that this is done in a way that
1:46 am
the police and it the i don't know, that they understand that this review should work and everyone has to work together on this and be on the same page. she does a good job and i'm proud of her. >> thank you. [laughter] >> the final item is new business request for future agenda items. i will just read staff that short of any major unforeseen circumstances, we will add the closed session to the next meeting and established in the executive director. i believe we have our forced endorsement -- first endorsement. okay, no more public comment, we will end the tuesday, november
1:47 am
23rd meeting of the entertainment commission of the city and county of san francisco. the meeting is adjourned. thank you. when a resident of san francisco is looking for health care, you look in your neighborhood first. what is closest to you? if you come to a neighborhood health center or a clinic, you then have access it a system of
1:48 am
care in the community health network. we are a system of care that was probably based on the family practice model, but it was really clear that there are special populations with special needs. the cole street clinic is a youth clinic in the heart of the haight ashbury and they target youth. tom woodell takes care of many of the central city residents and they have great expertise in providing services for many of the homeless. potrero hill and southeast health centers are health centers in those particular communities that are family health centers, so they provide health care to patients across the age span. . >> many of our clients are working poor. they pay their taxes. they may run into a rough patch now and then and what we're able to provide is a bridge
1:49 am
towards getting them back on their feet. the center averages about 14,000 visits a year in the health clinic alone. one of the areas that we specialize in is family medicine, but the additional focus of that is is to provide care to women and children. women find out they're pregnant, we talk to them about the importance of getting good prenatal care which takes many visits. we initially will see them for their full physical to determine their base line health, and then enroll them in prenatal care which occurs over the next 9 months. group prenatal care is designed to give women the opportunity to bond during their pregnancy with other women that have similar due dates. our doctors here are family doctors. they are able to help these women deliver their babies at the hospital, at general hospital. we also have the wic program, which is a program that
1:50 am
provides food vouchers for our families after they have their children, up to age 5 they are able to receive food vouchers to get milk and cereal for their children. >> it's for the city, not only our clinic, but the city. we have all our children in san francisco should have insurance now because if they are low income enough, they get medical. if they actually have a little more assets, a little more income, they can get happy family. we do have family who come outside of our neighborhood to come on our clinic. one thing i learn from our clients, no matter how old they are, no matter how little english they know, they know how to get to chinatown, meaning they know how to get to our clinic. 85 percent of our staff is
1:51 am
bilingual because we are serving many monolingual chinese patients. they can be child care providers so our clients can go out and work. >> we found more and more women of child bearing age come down with cancer and they have kids and the kids were having a horrible time and parents were having a horrible time. how do parents tell their kids they may not be here? what we do is provide a place and the material and support and then they figure out their own truth, what it means to them. i see the behavior change in front of my eyes. maybe they have never been able to go out of boundaries, their lives have been so rigid to sort of expressing that makes tremendous changes. because we did what we did, it is now sort of a nationwide model. >> i think you would be surprised if you come to these clinics. many of them i think would be
1:52 am
your neighbors if you knew that. often times we just don't discuss that. we treat husband and wife and they bring in their kids or we treat the grandparents and then the next generation. there are people who come in who need treatment for their heart disease or for their diabetes or their high blood pressure or their cholesterol or their hepatitis b. we actually provide group medical visits and group education classes and meeting people who have similar chronic illnesses as you do really helps you understand that you are not alone in dealing with this. and it validates the experiences that you have and so you learn from each other. >> i think it's very important to try to be in tune with the needs of the community and a lot of our patients have -- a lot of our patients are actually immigrants who have a
1:53 am
lot of competing priorities, family issues, child care issues, maybe not being able to find work or finding work and not being insured and health care sometimes isn't the top priority for them. we need to understand that so that we can help them take care of themselves physically and emotionally to deal with all these other things. they also have to be working through with people living longer and living with more chronic conditions i think we're going to see more patients coming through. >> starting next year, every day 10,000 people will hit the age of 60 until 2020. . >> the needs of the patients that we see at kerr senior center often have to do with the consequences of long standing substance abuse and mental illness, linked to their chronic diseases.
1:54 am
heart failure, hypertension, diabetes, cancer, stroke, those kinds of chronic illnesses. when you get them in your 30's and 40's and you have them into your aging process, you are not going to have a comfortable old age. you are also seeing in terms of epidemics, an increase in alzheimer's and it is going to increase as the population increases. there are quite a few seniors who have mental health problems but they are also, the majority of seniors, who are hard-working, who had minimum wage jobs their whole lives, who paid social security. think about living on $889 a month in the city of san francisco needing to buy medication, one meal a day, hopefully, and health care. if we could provide health care
1:55 am
early on we might prevent (inaudible) and people would be less likely to end up in the emergency room with a drastic outcome. we could actually provide prevention and health care to people who had no other way of getting health care, those without insurance, it might be more cost effecti i'm robert chief and i'm the park's supervisor in the parks in the sunset district. i've been working here for 3 years. we are 60-70 street below street
1:56 am
level. the 64 acre park. the park is divided into 2 sections we are in the stern area. when you get over to pine lake meadow and pine lake, pine lake is considered a natural area. in 1847, the green family came out here, back then this was kind of an empty canyon and sand dun area. they claimed this property. in 1892. george green who's a second generation built the truckdaro club house. there was a hotel then. it was said this was the place to go if you were weary of the dirty city and the police. there were a couple of gun fights the front door has bullet holes. i don't ever repair them.
1:57 am
1931 stig mond bought the property from the green family. she donated it to the city of san francisco and had a specification, i'm giving it to the city that will be used forever for the enjoyment forever of the people of the city of san francisco. it has ever since. every summer the stern grove association in san francisco rec and parks put on 10 free concerts. usually people come out at 10 in the morning it's a family affair. everybody is on the lawn with picnics and it's free. anybody can come out. it's a great way to spend a sunday. >> goes to 1-2 in the afternoon and runs until 5. [music]. thanks to the stern grove association they renovated the concert meadow.
1:58 am
it used to be a rolling grafsy area. put in a new stage and stage building. they put in terraces. we get from 8,000 to 12,000 people. and the meadow next to the concert meadow is full of people even though they can't see the music they hear it. i walked into the meadow several times and they don't even care. we do have literally events going on day and night. the concert association has kids days during the week. the performers come out for hundred 200 kids. now, the truckadero truck house gets rented out for weddings and retirement. the croquet clubs and horse
1:59 am
shoes. 2 play grounds, tennis courts. we have from 25 to a hundred dogs here. it's like bisons going across the mid west. there are so many dogs they are covering the ground cht it's a get together. all the dog walkers know each other. if you go to pine lake day camp now, you will see 50 kids there. the r directors are wonder. >> the pine lake is natural. they take of the area around the lake. they plant natives that are drought tolerant. one that stands the dry summers here. the whole park is r
