2:30 am
>> good evening commissioners i know you've had a long day. i'm karen and i've been a pediatrician for fourteen years. i'm here to represent my colleagues. i want to support and endorse this as well as resources. the dedication of nursing and compresses and everyone who works at the st. luke's to provide our services. this plan provides our city with two new safe seismic appropriate hospitals where their most needed important rebuilding st.
2:31 am
likings insures we'll with a part of the health care system. it's been thought fulfill designed where we can see patients for efficiently. this has been designed to help us deliver babies into the safe arms of community. this services serves as a model and it will retain the heart and sole. two years ago, i had the opportunity to represent san francisco as a relief works or worker where i cared for the child victims of the devastating earthquake. on behalf of the patience i serve and their families i ask
2:32 am
this commission approve the project today and let it start to be rebuilt thank you. >> you. come up i'll call a few more names (calling names) >> good afternoon. i'm the executive director. you heard about the c pmc work we support the immigrants. i'm also on the faculty of the san francisco state. i'm speaking because the impact
2:33 am
on our community is going to be large. i think the recent agreements reflect good agreement and i you're going to you support the plans before you. i don't have the knowledge around planning you have that knowledge and understanding but in terms of the rippling effect i urge you to support this project. thank you >> thank you. >> good evening commissioners. i represent the historic goodman believe. our building is a wood-frame building and it's the only one
2:34 am
that's standing from a big fire. we're a historic city landmark. i submitted letters and we actually just want one word to be challenged in the wool proposed agreement and this is in exhibit k page 5 number 9. it's with the transportation project. ours is an old victorian that doesn't have parking. we have unions and churches who have relied for the last 50 years to be able to park at the cathedral hotel. it's important because to park in the street it's dangerous. and it doesn't make sense that after 7:00 p.m. that mabdz
2:35 am
neighborhood who relied on parking should be deprived of that. i urge you to go to paragraph 9 it will only be open to staff and employees. i ask you add the word neighbors it would be fair for the neighborhood. a great tourist attachment people have to park to the clubs to the untelethon church and to k n r tv. in addition there's a lot of less parking on the street. so i ask if you you couldn't,
2:36 am
just convinces the board of supervisors to add neighbors so we won't be deprived of parking. we have 5 commercial and it would be detrimental to our income taxes in the neighborhood that you good evening. i'm the director of the arts organizations. we connect art with health. for the last 5 years we've been providing services to april the people of the african-american community and april in the western edition. so i support the rebuild providing - for facilities even to provide more sports in terms
2:37 am
of the health not only to san franciscans but it, the people who live in the san francisco bay area. the idea for me in terms of building the facility is to improve and save lives. and i would hope you would make this decision what outline due haste and i'm speaking primarily from the african-american community from the disparities that exist and i know two people that passed away and i think that that having some facilities on line could go a long ways in terms of improving the health throughout our community. i support it with all due speed.
2:38 am
thank you >> thank you. i'll call some more names (calling names) >> good evening commissioners. i represent 1 thousand van ness garage. as a long time owner i'm here to speak in support for the hospital project. i can't overstate the positive impacts that will have on the resident. we've had the opportunity to wit house our community has suffered. the ambitious plan will help the surrounding neighborhood. in addition to the construction jobs c pmc has pledged a large
2:39 am
number of local hires and permanent jobs. this represents a significant opportunity for local residents to find employment that's easily assessable and won't put additional strain on the transportation system. i think it will have adequate lighting. this long term commitment will enhance safety around the hospital and in the surrounding neighborhood. sidewalks would be getting a face lift and it increases our ability to be safe. they have agreed to pilot the plan for safe neighborhoods. a major economical commitment is being made. the $75 million will have a
2:40 am
local impact. and an additional fund will be managed apparently, this project offers the best privately funded investment and will act as an economical driver that will generate jobs and opportunities that will directly benefit the neighborhood. i'd like to address the issue of traffic on our students are - this major art error reis that traffic doesn't dissuade folks from coming here. we welcome all new traffic to come here. i want to ask that this project
2:41 am
can move forward and gives hope and provided opportunity for advancement. thank you >> good evening commissioners thank you for giving me the opportunity. i'm with the apa support services it is to end the domestic violence in san francisco. it provides service for our community and a we're stepchild for this project. we have the tenderloin areas who or willfully and waiting for on the community benefit and they're waiting for those new hospitals to be built. most of our babies has been born in the local hospital because of
2:42 am

2:43 am
will live to be over one hundred years old. this one hospital has been delivering over 78 thousand babies and that trend is going to grow. that get me ini'm one of the baby boomers will i make 1 hundred years old my mom made 97-year-old. like the many generations in san francisco c pmc is a steward of the community as well. you heard some of the presentations and saw the graphics. c pmc has been here for 1 hundred and 50 years we would like to continue that. in order to c pmc to continue to provide the health care during
2:44 am
an earthquake and afterwards the seismic hospitals must be built to serve the pedestrian - the california senate bill was put into the law books to protect us all. it would be a shame an embarrassment and possibly even a tragedy if the earthquake hit and the buildings in san francisco are not safe and the ones that are open don't have enough beds to treat the injuries. it doesn't have to be like that we have the opportunity to build state of the arc with the most
2:45 am
advanced integrated systems those will be utilized by our world-class teams. let's not delay the groundbreaking project any longer. let's not wait a week, month or year. let's get started now. thank you >> thank you. >> good evening. i'm a homeowner right across the street in the hospital campus. you're putting a medical office building in with visitors but the neglecting to do anything about the increased traffic with parking. currently, we have 27 spaces under the new proposal that deficit is going to be 2 hundred
2:46 am
and 25 spaces and permanently one-hundred and 60 but they're only providing 1 hundred and voluntary i think they can do better. thank you >> combpg i'm suzy and my families owned tommy's joint for over 66 years. i'm in favor of the project. i just wish it would start already it's been 4 years with a derelict building with no customers coming from there. we used to have folks going into the hotel and it's hurt my
2:47 am
business. i have 44 employees and i'm struggling to keep my folks employed as when you closed the hotel and over 3 hundred people were out of the work you cough kept the parking lot open. there's no parking it's hard to park and with this new proposal open exhibit k page 5 number 9 with no evening parking for any of any consumers it's going to be more difficult on post and franklin and i don't know what on van ness. how do you expect a small business he owner to stay in business. i want to see the hospital abilities been over 4 years.
2:48 am
i'm concerned also concerned about the construction how it's going to effect my building that was built in the 1800s. please continue the parking after 7 o'clock because there's no more for my folks to park so i ask you to consider that. thank you >> good evening. i'm the general manager of daniel court when is a condominium and commercial building directly across the street from the cathedral hill project. as such we had a lot of concerns about issues that happened during the construction project as well as the having the hospital as our neighbor.
2:49 am

2:51 am
the patient care they need. locating the women's and children's depth department of public health will increase the access throughout the city. the women's community clinic and i want to protect san francisco's holy ghost further by rebuilding cv mc please do the same >> thank you (calling names) >> good afternoon commissioners i'm very excited to be here today in support of the plan. i'm a project engineer which is a general contractor work with our trade partners to build cathedral hill and st. luke's
2:52 am
hospital. we appreciate the work of mairdz and the members of the board of supervisors who were able to bring it before us today. working on this project will be something else very special. it's not everyday you can work on a project that benefit everybody the businesses and most of all the community. i support cv mc and i believe that the men and women need this project please let this get done. i urge you to support this without more delay. thank you >> thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners thank you, very
2:53 am
much for taking time out for the realized plan for cv mc. i serve on the executive board for the naacp. and most importantly i'm the vice president of the glen ridge cooperative housing in dynamic heights and if you come down 29th street we're there are at st. luke's a hospital that serves 2 hundred and families from the dynamic heights project. i can be alters selfish here because c pmc has served all the other women and young children.
2:54 am

2:55 am
speakers? >> good afternoon. i'm with the coalition of san francisco neighborhoods and i want to make my own comment. i would support the san franciscans for health care housing, jobs, and justice and their call for a lateral monitoring because it becomes obvious if you look at the history surely that history is very important. we have to learn from it and for that reason alone we have to have closed monitoring like the involvement with the community.
2:56 am
another thing is the mental health services. i'm disappointed their reduced. it's one of the major problems in our country recently with the mass shooting throughout the country like arizona and most importantly one of the returning vets the need foreclose post traumatic syndrome we have have veterans returning and we've not meeting the demands of returning conveniences. and finally, this process i think is good evidence of what could result when the community gets involved.
2:57 am
i think the call for jobs, jobs, jobs now that's important but i think more important is that we coupe come up with a good plan that has deliver health care thought san francisco. and hopefully, this community process will be result in a better sequa amendments. thank you >> any additional public comment? okay seeing noneseeing none - . okay seeing none, public comment is closed and i believe staff has a closings comment >> thanks ken. we'll be available for and await your questions. i want to note a few things.
2:58 am
first there are apparently is a typo workforce in the amendment. as you remember it's 40 percent of jobs in 10 years and there's luckiest one place it doesn't get reflected so in our motion us to make those changes and make sure there's no more. i want to note a couple of things that get responded to. the transportation plan and the surveys. that used wherever appropriate to have the staff address. with section 2.5 and the
2:59 am
material and non-material changes. we want to reiterate that we there's really staff is absolutely on the same package we have the need for process and make sure that changes that have any significance and the ones not significant have a process we still think it's not the right path boo to a bind contract to enter into some the kraths but we really think that the entire public and populace of the city 0 needs to have the ability to look into our city contracts. just wanted to make sure we hit those themes. >> okay. he opening it to
3:00 am
commissioner comment. >> well, i'll certainly this day has arrived again. i have to agree size matter and a bigger project would be better. maybe a 5 hundred cathedral bed and st. luke's would be oil ideal. i don't know why we have groups that lobby against this and knock out over 1 hundred beds. i know everybody's on board but it would have been a better situation but what's been done has been done very well. the other thing that doesn't makes sense to me is the
