7:00 am
the truck and it equals the praefl wage the driver should get that. it would seemed to me that the use of owner operators or independence is an issue for the city or this board. i remind you the city has in place a goal an l.b. e goal. the experience was met only by owner operators that were l.b. e for the city. to say we're users owner operators and that's not the goal and to have the l.b. e's meet the the goal is a double standard. the goal was 7 and a half percent and 20 to 25 percent.
7:01 am
so moving forward if you would say is s and s meeting the goals i would say yes and a okay. that's critical when it comes to a new contract we'll have with the city and to the extent you were able to satisfy that you have a great advantage to be awarded the contract. i want to make sure it's all even we're meeting our l.b. e and wage goals. but thank you >> thank you. colleagues, any further questions? supervisor mar >> well, i see that donna is here from the labor enforcement. can you address that the prooefl wages and the double standard
7:02 am
>> i think it's possible to meet both. >> okay. colleagues any further questions. okay mr. rose can we go to our report, please >> yes. mr. chairman on the top of page if of our report in table 2 as of september 30th under the influence puc had expended $2 million plus not to exceed $9 million exciting to haul tons of solids and brick for the treatment plants of an average cost of if dollars and
7:03 am
$0.60 per ton. on table 3 based on nature costs the proposed contracted is s and s trucking is expended for 2 additional years the puc current estimated total of $2 million plus in costs. with a contingent of a total not to exceed the costs it $13,500,000. we did discuss the policy aspect of praefl wage requirements on page 25 and because of that issue our recommendations on page 26 we recommend that you amend this resolution to confirm the puc's tension not not to extend the s and s contract and you approve the proposed
7:04 am
resolution as amended. i'll add this to your option and if you don't accept our proposal the praefl wage will stand >> thank you mr. rose any questions for our budget analyst. to the puc any remarks to those questions >> we'll comply. >> anyone wish to comment on this item? >> ace washington. i would be remiss if i didn't come and speak for s and s as supervisor avalos has a long history before you came on board. i can testify you guys know i'm up here recollecting all the
7:05 am
time but with my history with s and s when they were involved that the human rights commission. he is has been in my opinion a very valuable part of employment in san francisco. although it's not also been the situations but i can say that the experience dealing with some of the truckers they're very satisfied with his performance there with s and s. i as a person in the community have been involved that the history i can stand up here with an open mind in my opinion he is s and s trucking is forthcoming and working closely with the truckers. although i have not been working with them but i'm in support of s and s >> thank you very much.
7:06 am
any other members of the public wish to comment. seeing none, public comment is closed. colleagues, can we have a motion to accept the motions from the budget analyst we can do that without objection. so moved. mr. clerk are there any other items and a mr. chairman, i ask they have the amended resolution to us by 9:00 a.m. >> excuse me. we have a request from our clerk you provide the contract. >> the resolution to us tomorrow more and more by 89 a.m. i believe i'm working with our department and a mr. clerk any other business before us. no, that's it and that concludes our agenda for today.

7:15 am
your clerk to pass out these 8 copies to your counsel. i'm a report er or columnist for the observer newspaper and i've written 2 articles in the last several months about the department public health planned outsource the dialiss service to place in the lag u.n. a honda a hospital. i was shocked earlier in the fall when the department of public health e-mailed to me a copy of the rsp to outsource dialysi s. it had never been discussed or voted on by the full health
7:16 am
commission. indeed it had only been discussed at a health commission subcommittee and the joint conference committee which is com posed of several health commissioners and senior managers at sfgh i worked with some of the ucsf staff who staffed the renal center at supervisor cam pos's hearing was in front of the neighborhood services and safety committee and supervisor campos asked roland pick ens
7:17 am
chief operating officer if it had been voted on by the health commission. it was never discussed at the full health commission, they never took a vote on it. most of the speakers during that october 17th hearing i should say all 40 of them opposed moving dialysis because of the burdens of the patients to face longer
7:18 am
transportation times. places a huge burden on them. >> thank you mr. monnet. your 3 minutes has passed. >> thank you. >> next i have mr. robert fitch. >> hello. thank you for having me here. i am with the city college disabled students programs and services and i know you are aware of all of the stuff involved with a creditation but even on a statewide level as it relates to seniors and people with disabilities. trying to redefine the purpose of community colleges narrowly
7:19 am
pretty much wiping out all of the people who go for a class or two the classes for disabled students and older adults programs particularly the ones that are offered out in the community places like the arc and senior center etc.. one of the members of that task force went on to write a state law that got through the senate and luckily stalled in the assembly rationing classes specifically nutrition and exercise classes foreseen i , seniors because it wasn't academic enough so there's an ugly force going on in the state to really really
7:20 am
cut back on services for our aging population which is pretty ironic since we're probably all going to age. >> thank you mr. fitch. >> next item on the agenda is -- do we ask questions of speakers at the public comment? >> all right, well first we'll start with star then. oh that's a mistake. okay. >> this is such an important issue i wanted to ask a couple of questions if i may. have you heard anything since supervisor campos's hearing regard burdens on their transportation issues and is a
7:21 am
survey of all dialysis patient 's that are being treated -- have you learned anything about whether space may be potentially available to keep dialysis right at sf general hospital. >> i appreciate that. the dph had not explored all options they also neglected to do any kind of patient satisfaction survey to ask the very dialysis patients who have had those increasing burdens on their care. i heard at the hearing that mr. pick ens may had been
7:22 am
interviewing dialysis patients in person so. they were not going to do a written survey. either they were going to choose which patients to interview or whether they were going to offer all of them oral interviews. initially dph told me that they would respond to my records request by next wednesday, november 20th then i got a subsequent e-mail from dph that said mr. pick ens is out until the 19th and he needed sometime after he returned and that quote -- you will receive a response at the
7:23 am
earliest possible date end quote without specifying when i might get an answer or be provided with a survey instrument. i recommend that this counsel work with supervisor campos to follow up with the health department to find out how sfgh is going to conduct the transportation survey whether in writing or orally and how many of the dialysis patients will be asked to participate in the survey and to your second question tatiana, regarding space on sfgh's campus i sent another records request. i was provided with 4 documents that show the current entities that are in building 100 which is where the renal center is
7:24 am
currently located and a chart showing by floor number and wing or ward of the building, the current entities in building five which is the current main hospital that will eventually move into the new sfgh when construction is complete. in addition, they sent me 2 documents showing what would happen with the space being vacanted in both building five the main hospital and building 100 and it appears to my un trained eyes that there is plenty of space in building 5 which is far more seismic ly safe than the location in lag u.n. a, honda which they proposed putting it which is in the old building and there's a number of issues
7:25 am
with that section of the building that are mentioned in both the article that i just had published and if you go online to my website, www- lhh-downsize.com it's all one word you will see the links of the recent articles i've published in the last 2 months describing in detail why laguna honda is not a good location for placing dialysi s. i've requested a follow up hearing to ask sfgh where they intend to place dialysis and to follow up on the survey instrument and
7:26 am
i really encourage you to consider adding this onto your future meeting agendas as a follow up because these are some of the sickest most vulnerable patients in the city. thank you >> thank you very much. >> councilmember zarda. >> thank you i should have a follow-up question to the gentleman from -- if that would be okay. i was curious about just how exactly people in the community can find out more information about this situation because i myself was caught unaware. >> i would communicate with you and ilrc would be probably the most direct. there's pending legislation -- let me backup -- city college serves the adult
7:27 am
ed function we call the non credit classes used to be school districts offered adult ed so adult ed was shrinking statewide. but that is changing as different forces are trying to shrink the mission and the legislation that's being put forward is about creating local consortiums and what's good figure san francisco is going for ring which we know is kind of bizarre. i'd be happy to come back to another meeting and make a longer presentation. >> please do. i'll make my
7:28 am
information available to you. >> thank you. >> councilmember wong and then we'll move on. >> yes the update on the dialysis at laguna honda if they are going to continue that service. my concern is how do the consumers get to the hospital because currently the shuttle service from forest hills station to laguna honda is at the new location the new hospital facilities so that becomes like another situation that, you know, how people will be able to get to laguna honda at the old building so that's going to need to be addressed in the future if they are going to have dial ysis people you know needing the service up there so to kind of put it on
7:29 am
record that that needs to be addressed if it's going to happen. thank you. >> may i address mr. wong's point briefly. >> very briefly. >> when they designed the new passive pavillion building there was room so we wouldn't have the reverse situation of having to transport lhh patients to sfgh they ordered the equipment and it was delivered. it hasn't been installed and both the disability counsel and the board of supervisors should really mount an ininquiry inquiry why lhh patients are
7:30 am
still burdened going to sfgh for their dial ysis. >> next a report from the chair. i just have 2 quick items. yes? by all means i just didn't realize. >> i just wanted to make a quick announcement to all of you and to other people who may be here watching that next thursday november 21 st there's a hearing about food security and food access in san francisco this hasn't come up yet today, has it? okay good. so this of course is a critical issue to people with disabilitied in san francisco. we had senior disability action that had done a lot of work where there's a lot of issues where people may not have and may
