>> thank you, mr. chair and supervisors. my name is mark e. rennie. i am here today with bruce macdonald, the general manager and managing partner. we also had the owner of the property. i am kind of excited about this one. this goes back to 1960, buzz's shamrock tavern an inn. this is a large outdoor area. i had to laugh, saying what they do, keep it being the best keep them outside? it was started in the 1980's and is much beloved. it is probably the largest outdoor patio in san francisco, with 12-foot walls around it and a beautiful garden. a large growing facility. i previously handed out a biographer y for mr. mcdonald.
1:10 pm
going back to 1999, the corner of 21st and mission was pretty scary. mr. mcdonald went in and built the cinema, which is then on the top 100 list for the last 14 years. it is a beautiful establishment, extremely well managed from a much beloved, and the neighborhood has grown up around it. going back 14 years, it was risky to go in there and build something with $30 entrees. i love the comment that you have on this handout. it was, you are more likely to get your car broken into then find a valet to take your car in the neighborhood at that point. that said, they are going to maintain the outdoor cafe. mr. mcdonnell is going to bring a much larger food component into it. it is going to be a tavern and a food operation, and the food will be excellent.
1:11 pm
mr. mcdonald also owns, at the corner of sixth and market, another sketchy neighborhood, but he built show dogs down there, and it is doing very well, a beautiful place. he was there before the crowd. i think i will go and do some real estate purchases in the neighborhood. because i tell you, he seems to be about three, four, five years ahead of everybody else. he is available for comment. we're fine with the police recommendation. we ask that you pass this along to the full board for a vote. thank you. >> we did read through the report. anything you would like to add? ok, thank you. any other public comment? great, we will close public comment. supervisor chu: motion to accept the item with the conditions in the record. supervisor elsbernd: can we take that without objection? that will be the order.

[inaudible] supervisor kim: thank you. thank you for hearing this item today. authorizing the issuance and delivery of the multifamily housing revenue notes in an amount not to exceed $25,370,000 for the purpose of providing financing for the acquisition and construction of a 90-unit multifamily rental housing project known as 121 golden gate avenue senior committee -- community. this is a project that is being
1:15 pm
jointly redevelop. as the rebuild of the st. anthony's dining room. very exciting news, and affordable senior housing units. the dining room will be built in its current location so it can continue to serve meals. mercy housing will develop eight floors of affordable senior housing, expected to include around 90 units, 43 studios, 461-bedroom units. -- four -- 46 one-bedroom units. 18 of these units will serve
1:16 pm
formerly homeless seniors. this project will have a two- year construction period. it is scheduled for completion in the summer of 2014. the needs of our existing seniors, i think this is an exciting new development in terms of how we will continue to address this gap in need. at this time, i want to call up staff from the mayor's office of housing. >> good afternoon. thank you for the great summary. this is mortgage revenue bond financing. it is conduit financing whereby the city and county of san francisco issues the bond. we're not responsible for the repayment of these bonds, but it is repaid to the revenue of the project. this is serving low income seniors, these bonds will be repaid from section 200 to a
1:17 pm
capital grants as well as a tax credit equity. that will be repaid as the -- at the construction completion. it is scheduled to begin in august, and take about two years. it is conduct financing. the city is not responsible for repayment. we do hope that you will repay -- approved bed. -- approve it. supervisor mar: i just want to thank the director of the mayor's house is -- mayor's office of housing. i know 90 units is really important that there is a need for low-income seniors. this is a project that is above the st. anthony's dining room on golden gate and i am trying to remember the cross street. it is a block off of market street, is that right?
1:18 pm
during important project, especially for some of the formerly homeless seniors. thank you. if there are no other questions, let's open this up for public comment. is there anyone from the public who would like to speak for on this item? public comment is closed. colleagues, can we move this forward without objection? thank you. could you please call item is 2-13 together? >> 2-14. legislation package related to the california pacific medical center, cathedral hill and at st. albans campuses. -- and st. luke's campuses. changing the official sidewalk list and approving a street encroachment, plans -- land transfer agreement, and development agreement. supervisor mar: i know we have a
1:19 pm
number of people from the public who would like to speak. before that, we have presentations from city departments. before the office of economic and workforce development and the department of public health and department of public help speak, we will be followed by a presentation by kathrin dodd, our director of health and human services in the city. we are calling all these items together. this is the third of four major hearings on this item. the third hearing today, we were scheduled to discuss a number of items from housing to traffic impacts to neighborhood impacts. but because of the different developments that occurred at the last hearing, we are going to focus on the health care aspects. the office of economic development and stakeholders agreed upon this that we will
1:20 pm
try to focus on health care to understand this complex system. next monday, on july 16, we will resume but those other topics. i also wanted to say that we are trying to encourage maximum dialogue at the board level, especially given the financial information that was revealed at the last meeting. our expectation was even stronger transparency on behalf of all parties to move forward with a commitment to keep st. luke's open for 20 years and strong enforceability, but said all parties would be transparent and allow as much dialogue to move forward with a common solution. i wanted to say from the letter that we received today from dr. browner, i still have concerns that this transparency is going to move it forward. i know a number of colleagues
1:21 pm
have raised issues from the last hearing that we had until now, questions of whether we can move forward without that sharing the financial information. i note that we will hear a lot about that at this meeting. i am hopeful that we will have more information from all stakeholders said that we can move this forward. with that, i will ask if my colleagues have in the opening comments to make before we go to the speakers. supervisor kim: thank you. i want to speak briefly because i was not here for the previous land use committee meeting when we learned about the new production numbers. it actually put cpmc dangerously close to the trigger point that we had been discussing previously as something that was very hypothetical and almost impossible for this entity to
1:22 pm
reach. i wanted to say a couple of things since i did miss that announcement. i do want to appreciate the mayor's office for all of your work on this development deal. i really do appreciate your best intentions on this project. i further appreciate that the mayor's office is taking such a strong position on the continued opening of st. luke's. it is an incredibly important hospital in san francisco. i do not think any of us can discount how important the future and stability of that hospital is. everyone on the board of supervisors agrees and shares this as a priority. i just want to thank you for alerting us and continuing to work on ensuring that if we move forward, the stability of st. luke's and the future of st. luke's is insured and that development agreement. i just wanted to say that i was very appreciative of our committee members on that day for standing up strongly and loudly on behalf of our community, particularly our most
1:23 pm
vulnerable communities. in terms of wanting to ensure that it is available and we do get to see any projection numbers that there is no way we can make a decision on this deal without having the full sets of data and information available. i was out of town when there was a whistle-blower clique of what could be those numbers. -- leak of what could be those numbers. i was very disappointed to see some of that come out. as we move forward, there is going to need -- there will be a lot of questions that need to be answered. the last thing i will say, over the last couple of weeks, we think a very deeply about this very complicated and controversial development
1:24 pm
agreement that is coming before the board. i am happy to sit today for the shf presentation. there are some different pieces to this, whether it is affordable housing, charity care, work force. what has continued to emerge to me as the larger and even more important issue is this issue of the future of health care. cpmc's role as a very large entity in this industry in terms of how they will impact that. i look forward to this presentation, but i do think this is a key piece that i beekeeping a close eye on. thank you. -- that i will be keeping a close eye on. thank you. supervisor cohen: there has been a lot of discussion and media attention in the last few weeks about the operating commitment to st. luke's and the provision that would allow cpmc to be
1:25 pm
relieved of its obligation to operate a hospital of its operating margin. as i articulated a few weeks ago, and given the unwillingness of cpmc to share any financial information to allow us to make informed decisions on this one issue, we need unlimited obligation from cpmc to operate st. louis for 20 years, not one that is dependent upon -- st. luke's for 20 years, not one that is dependent on financial assumptions that we are not able to review. i believe that all of us on the board and myself want this development agreement to ensure not only that st. luke's is open and operating for 20 years, but that it is meeting the needs of the patients in the southeast portion of the city. while we have recently focused on the operating commitment, it is my goal today that we focus on some of the other aspects of
1:26 pm
st. luke's that i find concerning. there are two. the removal of the skilled nursing facility beds and the resources, staffing and focus of the centers of excellence. additionally, as i have previously mentioned, this project will significantly change the health care system and markets for years to come. i have heard very little around impact of that. i look forward to a robust discussion about pricing today. without further ado, mr. terra, take it away. -- mr. chair, take it away. president chiu: i am not going to repeat the comments that were just made. we have learned a lot of information over the last two weeks that i think have been
1:27 pm
surprising to all of us. i associate myself with the comments of supervisor cohen around st. luke's. i want to think the mayor and his staff for understanding this with a comment he has made around that issue. that being said, i do hope that with this hearing, we can all take a step back and take a deep breath and understand that everybody wants to see the long- term health of the city be down the right way. not only do we want to get a few of dates on some of these issues, but we are about to delve into another very important topic. how are city can get a handle on cost containment efforts while maintaining health care quality. this is a very important question that has not been covered before. i look forward to hearing the presentations because i do think
1:28 pm
we really have to wrap ourselves around these questions and resolve them in a way that is going to work for all parties in this discussion. i am still and will continue to be committed to working with all parties to see if we can get to a place that will work. supervisor mar: i just wanted to remind everyone, these items before us, we are not taking action on at the end of the meeting. we will likely continue this to monday, july 16. we have july 17 as the day to hear the appeal of the eir on the project. all of this is moving forward very quickly, but today we are focusing on health care. let me introduce ken rich. >> good afternoon. if i could have the overhead, at the request of the committee, we are returning back to the subject of health care today. on your screen is a brief
1:29 pm
outline of what we propose to present. we will go back over the five key pieces of the presentation from last time. the st. luke's operating commitment, the baseline health care commitment, the beneficiaries, the skilled nursing facility bed commitment, and the health care innovation. they will hit those anymore summarized fashion for you. we will also do an update on the supreme court decision. we will do a full presentation on the health services system, which we did not hit last time. to remind you of the three priorities that our negotiations were based on -- the firs
