speaker: we're back if public session. the complaints are confidential. speaker: did i do that wrong? speaker: is there a motion? speaker: so moved

speaker: second? public comment? all in favor, i. any opposed? hearing none. the commission entered into a settlement in the matter of alex torque principle ground floor public affairs in the amount of six thousand dollars. order will be published to the commission website tomorrow and the commission also decided that a matter would be referred to another department agency that will handle the issue in a different matter. the next item on the agenda is admitted for the commissions regular meeting of july twenty third. actually that's going to be held over speaker:

can you explain what the matter will be held over to? speaker: i've been told no. i'm trying to figure out what was -- speaker: this is discussion on the matter that's confidential under the charter so the commission referred that to another force agency and the chair announced that the details of that matter remain confidential under the charter speaker: and will continue to be so per mennently? speaker: until the ethics commission issues probable cause speaker:

which could still happen based on the refederal to the outside agency speaker: unlike /hreuly and the other matter will be posted tomorrow speaker: looking forward to it. thanks. speaker: just one thing i wanted to highlight. just another well another nice improvement on the website would e recalling task force is a new way to access information that's on the website. it's already on the website but in order to do searchs that will compose not only reports

tailored to what the user is trying to do research on but charts and graphs that are very probable in giving people visuals that support the information that they are looking for. i wanted to highlight that we continue to work to improve the access of information by the public various ways to manipulate the dat /taeu that we have in our possession. speaker: commissioner sudden: i'm sorry i know it's late. this is information not in our

possession and people who haven't filed their form seven hundreds has provided public with getting this information and there's also the fact that hundreds of other people did manage to do their forms at some person inconvenience and sacrifice and i think it's better that everyone was held to the requirement to do it. i appreciate the responsibilities that staff have at a challenging time and i realize we couldn't do everything in cadillac fashion but i wonder whether we could be more imagine /tphau a list and putting it in our website if we haven't done that, sharing it at a meeting asking people if they have thoughts about what

we can do about it using the public value. you may want to remind us about what we've done to raise these people or follow-up with them or give a list to the mayor and the people who do appointments to these folks and reappointments to other folks and i know we've talked about this before but it might be helpful on the record to tell us what has been done and for all of us to think about what we can do that could reinforcelet seriousness of this without putting unreasonable expectations on the staff that's spread thin. speaker: based on my prior directions to the staff i understood that because of resources no non filers were

being turned over and state laws and authorities are clearer than ours is because this is a state law. however, this wasn't being done so i failed to follow-up and make sure that my directions were being followed and in fact, the practice is to send a letter to filing and then to send a second follow-up letter. when the second letters came from my signature it was already mid-august and i thought it was done months ago and that's my failure to follow through on that and i'm taking full responsibility for that but the practice should be and in the future will be that first we send people late letters and we can assign them up to ten dollars a day for being late.

beyond a certain amount of time beyond that we have to assume they don't intend to file and that's when we should be doing referrals but it shouldn't take six months speaker: i /paoerb that and i appreciate what life is like really on the ground /skpw taking responsibility for it. the back and forth of writing to somebody remains private and if they are tossing all the letters then we're stuck in a box where nothing is going to change, commissioner as a communications expert once you start communicating to a wider audience sometimes things crack loose where people respond differently so i think what you said is good. we might want to consider as a commission what we want to suggest as or at what point do we post this or not make the public have to ask for the list

but make it available or do other things that wouldn't be terribly burden on some but it would make your letter stronger saying if we do not receive the form seven hundred by x and the fine you are now supposed to pay this is now what's going to happen. i don't know if these people would be embarrassed or feel awkward about it, i don't know. also, to think that our cities culture is to say we want people to do this and we will affect those that don't and given the hundreds of people that have filed that are not on this list there are folks who say do it, i did it and they might actually get it. speaker: understood speaker thank you chair: i want to thank the commission that for

doing an excellent job posting the official misconduct document quickly and they were there relatively easy to find and thanks for keeping up with all that. speaker: we had an interesting day distributing those. chair: i imagine there was a little bit of paper: speaker: the cameras were enforced chair: you were being filmed door to door. is there any public comment? speaker: a couple things. on the dash board project and the posting of documents relating to the official conduct

precedeings massy should be congratulated. he doesn't get credit but does a lot behind the scenes. i'm sure he's embarrassed but he really does do a lot of great work. on some other points i appreciate commissioners concern about non filers and i have said many times before this commission i would like to see on a regular basis whether it's monthly quarterly every six months but periodically a comprehensive list for everybody in a bad place whether it's for not filing forms, not paying fines, being overdue on penalties. with all due respect it's not

just seven hundred forms but in some forms it's lobbyists, campaign consult ants and there are a lot of folks that get into a bad place and we've never had a comprehensive way to keep track of that. it would be great to have some form of mechanism to take care of that. as we see if page two of the directors report we're asking some success in getting folks off there but in the past month there hasn't been implemented. on that point item eight /khrudz an in couple bent member of the college board and i ask publicly if that person is reelected will he in this case be able to be certified as

a candidate if he has overdue fines, forms, et cetera and if not, that's a great example of where we should be proactive in saying that's a problem and frankly if our laws allow this person and i have nothing against this person but someone in this status to file in reelection having overdue fines, forms, fees, pen al tease, we should adjust the laws so they can't do that. it's one thing if you are in office but if you are a candidate that's kind of a problem, i think, and again, having nothing to do with the individual but clearing things up so that are able to go forward, i think that's for the moment. thank you for the interesting long meeting. speaker: item ten, public

comment? public comment appearing and not appearing in the agenda commission? meeting adjourned.

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 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 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 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 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 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 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. 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 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

>> the public wants to access particular information about your house or neighborhood we point them to gis. gis is a combination of maps and data. not a graphic you see on a screen. you get the traffic for the streets the number of crimes for a police district in a period of time. if the idea of combining the different layerce of information and stacking them on top of each other to present to the public. >> other types of gis are web based mapping systems. like google earth, yahoo maps. microsoft. those are examples of on line mapping systems that can be used to find businesses or get driving directions or check on traffic conditions. all digital maps. >> gis is used in the city of

san francisco to better support what departments do. >> you imagine all the various elements of a city including parcels and the critical infrastructure where the storm drains are. the city access like the traffic lights and fire hydrants. anything you is represent in a geo graphic space with be stored for retrieval and analysis. >> the department of public works they maintain what goes on in the right-of-way, looking to dig up the streets to put in a pipe. with the permit. with mapping you click on the map, click on the street and up will come up the nchgz that will help them make a decision.

currently available is sf parcel the assessor's application. you can go to the assessor's website and bring up a map of san francisco you can search by address and get information about any place in san francisco. you can search by address and find incidents of crime in san francisco in the last 90 days. we have [inaudible] which allows you to click on a map and get nchldz like your supervisor or who your supervisor is. the nearest public facility. and through the sf applications we support from the mayor's office of neighborhood services. you can drill down in the neighborhood and get where the newest hospital or police or fire station.

>> we are positive about gis not only people access it in the office but from home because we use the internet. what we used to do was carry the large maps and it took a long time to find the information. >> it saves the city time and money. you are not taking up the time of a particular employee at the assessor's office. you might be doing things more efficient. >> they have it ready to go and say, this is what i want. >> they are finding the same things happening on the phone where people call in and ask, how do i find this information? we say, go to this website and they go and get the information easily. >> a picture tells a thousand stories. some say a map

>> there are kids and families ever were. it is really an extraordinary playground. it has got a little something for everyone. it is aesthetically billion. it is completely accessible. you can see how excited people are for this playground. it is very special. >> on opening day in the brand- new helen diller playground at north park, children can be seen swinging, gliding, swinging, exploring, digging, hanging, jumping, and even making drumming sounds. this major renovation was possible with the generous donation of more than $1.5 million from the mercer fund in honor of san francisco bay area philanthropist helen diller.

together with the clean and safe neighborhood parks fund and the city's general fund. >> 4. 3. 2. 1. [applause] >> the playground is broken into three general areas. one for the preschool set, another for older children, and a sand area designed for kids of all ages. unlike the old playground, the new one is accessible to people with disabilities. this brand-new playground has several unique and exciting features. two slides, including one 45- foot super slide with an elevation change of nearly 30 feet. climbing ropes and walls, including one made of granite. 88 suspension bridge. recycling, traditional swing, plus a therapeutics win for children with disabilities, and even a sand garden with chines and drums. >> it is a visionary $3.5

million world class playground in the heart of san francisco. this is just really a big, community win and a celebration for us all. >> to learn more about the helen diller playground in dolores park, go to sfrecpark.org.
