chairperson farrell: good afternoon. welcome to the government audit and oversight committee. i am joined by vice chair sean elsbernd and president david chiu.

i want to think -- thank sfgtv. >> please make sure to silence all the vices. speaker cards should be given to the court. items will be acted on during the april 3 board of supervisors agenda unless otherwise stated. item number 1, adopting and implementing amendment 2 to the service employees international union, local 1021. >> this amendment is an amendment to the current contract the city has with sciu local 1021 to implement a legal settlement surrounding some outstanding litigation. it does not affect the current year budget in any way. all agreements will take place at the close of this.

supervisor elsbernd: the costs associated for the out years, the next two years -- there was a lot in the controller's letter i did not understand. the employees have agreed to notice these costs in current negotiations and credit them as such -- what does that mean? >> based on our agreement to start paying released individuals' premiums, it will cost the city approximately $4.80 million, which is about 0.65% of payroll. that will actually count toward the settlement in the city's favor during the current year's negotiations. we are in bargaining right now for a successor agreement. this will count toward the cost of that agreement. supervisor elsbernd: thank you. chairperson farrell: any other

comments? with that, we will open it up to public comment. other members of the public that would like to comment on this item? please lineup on the side. come on up. >> my name is gus feldman. i am a field representative. i have the proud owner of representing and advocating for the hard-working employees of san francisco general hospital. as we know, back in 2009, there was a stream of unfortunate circumstances that left, i believe, approximately 300 of our members previously classified as nursing assistants with pay deductions amounting to about 20%. there were doing the same work they're doing prior to what we called the de-skilling of the patient care assistant classification. they are doing the same exact

work, yet woke up one day with a notice that their pay was to be reduced by about 20%. this was a gross injustice. as you guys probably recall, we fought against it with the utmost vigor and passion that we could. it is very much a relief that since 2009 our members voted to sacrifice their own pay to create a fund to supplement the loss in pay of these 300 edec = = de -- 300 the classified employees. -- 300 declassified employees. we would like to thank the labor relations portion of human resources for working with us to resolve this matter. we think this committee as well for reviewing this and hopefully of proving it. thank you.

chairperson farrell: thank you very much. next speaker. >> my name is douglas yep. i used to work at san francisco general hospital. i am a little puzzled by this mou. mainly i am puzzled as to why it was assigned to this committee. it seems this is a financial matter rather than an audit and oversight matter. i do not know whether it actually belongs here. i have a feeling that maybe it is here because there is something else to do on this committee. i find that a little hard to believe, but maybe i am wrong. i would like to thank mr. feldman for his comments. he is part of the new 1021. in my opinion, it is a vast improvement over the previous 1021 i had to endure with. hopefully, this mou, whichever way it goes, will benefit the

union. hopefully, the union will continue to improve itself. we have to be optimistic in the future, even though, according to my interpretation, the union sometimes cooperates with the employer to often. it is kind of like the nfl situation, where you need a commissioner to put down the hammer on people that obstruct justice. the last thing i have to say it is -- who is the next coach sean peyton? chairperson farrell: thank you. next speaker. >> gabriel holland, san francisco but the coordinator for 1021. i want to thank the city for bringing this to your city. i hope you support it. our union supports it. as gus feldman mentioned earlier, deskilling captures part of the picture.

to go more global, it is about valuing the work of people of color. that is why these classifications years ago had a raise. we had a comparative for the study and found those positions were underfunded because the were primarily women and people of color. 80% to 90% women and people of color. the value of their work, because of sexism and racism, is considered lower. those wages were increased. we were sorry to see the decrees and fought vigorously against that, as some of you may know. we are pleased this wrong was addressed before. we are pleased it is being addressed again. thank you very much. chairperson farrell: thank you. any other members of the public that wish to speak? seeing none, a public comment is closed. colleagues, any comments? entertain a motion. a motion to send this forward

with recommendations to the full board. can we take that without rep -- without objection? so moved. >> there are no further items. chairperson farrell: meeting adjourned. captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org-- supervisor elsbernd: good morning. welcome to the city operations in neighborhood services

committee meeting. we start the meeting with a motion to excuse supervisor chu. >> move to excuse supervisor chu. supervisor elsbernd: taken of that objection. madam clerk, please read item number one. >> item number one. hearing to consider that the issuance of a type 20 off-sale beer and wine license to 1749 union street, to lorrie hoel for wine's about you, will serve the public convenience and necessity of the people of the city and county of san francisco. supervisor elsbernd: thank you, madam clerk. inspector, welcome. >> i am ready. good morning. the african has applied for an application with the department of africa -- department of of all and beverage control for 1749 union st., located between
