opportunity. this is by its nature a reactive program. i usually come to i with a transaction in another party and you know what the price it going to be. this is exceptional we're selling anything to unknown parties elsewhere. it's to enhance the memorials restoration project. that's why we're seeking a one-time authority so we can very quickly strike. we'll bring you back to earlier and in the spring of 2013 when hyperglycemias needed t dr remaining increment that he they approached the city and we try to move as as quickly as
8:31 pm
possible to sell the t dr but we were not able to act fast enough. literally the weekend they struck a deal to secure the t dr at the same price from the city. that lost opportunity focused our team so we want to structure a program that's reactive enough. the planning committee approved the plan. i'm joined by elizabeth and others from t p w and a supervisor >> i want to thank beth murphy for being here and walking to the $154 million project and thank you, mr. updike for the
8:32 pm
simmer reports. i have a question i know that other historic preservation advocates how are they involved in the process in the summer report in the t dr that's a question >> i'm not sure exactly of the outreach that the consulting team did but i know they interviewed a number of stakeholders on both sides of this issue. one concern is development but the the other is the city entering the marketplace as a seller and other competitions to facilitate their restoration. and so in that respect there's some choices that need to be made so we move forward cautiously so we don't influence
8:33 pm
that market to a great degree. there's competition in a marketplace. there's legitimate questions raised by those who want to sell t dr they have flexibility and we have set a floor on pricing that's firm. there are avenues who can be explored for development rights to sell. the public nature of the discussion has been at the capital planning committee and, of course, this process today and a could you comment on the budget analysts recommendation amending tow cutting it down to 5 hundred and 50 thousand gross square foot and come back to the board >> all right. supervisor we're comfortable with the 1.1 million
8:34 pm
square feet of the t dr to the planning department but a reauthorization for 5 hundred and 50 thousand square feet so the amended documents are in the file if you choose to accept the recommendation we're comfortable with it. >> okay. if no other questions we'll move mr. rose to our report and break after this item. >> mr. chair and members of the committee on the bottom of the page we report that the number of t dr traktsdz can't be specified. to sell 1 hundred 1 million square feet can't be estimated. in addition the 1 million square feet plus can't be determined therefore the timing of the t dr procedures to be realized can't
8:35 pm
be calculated at this time. on page 10 of the report the net procedures of up to $1 million square feet plus would be used psychologically for the memorial complex but that is subject to the approval of the board of supervisors. so our recommendation 0 a that's been stated here today obtain page 11 of the report we recommend you amended the proposed so the 12krishgd property will be submitted to the board of supervisors and immediately upon reaching the sales of $50 million square feet to adjust the sales price and a recommend you accept the proposed remedies as amended >> thank you, mr. rose. we'll open this up for public comment anybody wish to comment
8:36 pm
on this particular item? >> supervisors i'm a historic he prestige speciality. i've been involved a number of years. i'm really concerned about this. i did not know about this until sunday afternoon and i spent a lot of time in the clerk's office yesterday. i appreciate mr. roses report. i'm deeply concerned about the 2 hundred plus million. that's the same amount left out there from individuals that haven't sold. the mayor's office of economic development has 5 hundred thousands of those that they have not be able to put on the
8:37 pm
market yet. i'm concerned there's a lot of latitude given to the city attorney's. last year the planning code when it was revised there are wasn't a change instituted that allowed for the report on highway t drs are going. but i'd like to hear from the planning department what they know. i know that supervisor kim has legislation working through you - may i continue, please and you have 30 seconds left >> with respect to st. bonding vascular and old st. marys is going to be flrd. i don't know how many t dr just
8:38 pm
to the veterans building. when the mint got the right to sell the t drs other public buildings could do that if they - okay. thank you very much ma'am, >> at the. appreciate it. anyone else left for comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. supervisor mar. >> i wanted to say based on what ms. plat is saying can we continue this until the next meeting so ms. platt and other other folks could add to this. >> we're actually now right on time for a contempt for the swearing in so i'm going to ask
8:39 pm
in the middle of this a recess. we'll come back. so can i have a motion for a recess >> actually, i think it's reasonable to get more information to continue until next week then we'll go into recess there. >> i think we have good responds to those who have raised the issue so we can revolve our concerns and come back with the you mention final proposal for next week. >> so we'll have a motion to continue this okay everyone wee recess from our regularly skerltd meeting. congratulations to carmen
8:40 pm
chewing. madam clerk we'll continue with the agenda. item 4 is the resolution establishing the appropriation for the 2013 and 14 fiscal year >> good morning, madam chair and mercedes benz. this is an annual resolution this is posed before the board of supervisors for approval setting our appropriations limit based on the state constitution. the limit is adjusted on a cost of living and other things. the controller calculated it for the maximum limit is 4.28 builds and our calculations is resourcefully 2.7 billion so we're under the limits. we typically bring this
8:41 pm
resolution to the board when we set our tax rate and this year it's detailed but we're still within the book ends of the state requirement to approve that resolution. we recommended you approve it >> colleagues, any questions. >> mr. rose can we go to our report, please. >> police vehicle prohibition we recommend approval. >> colleagues if there's no other questions we'll open this up for public comment. seeing none, public comment is closed. is there a motion to approve this item. commissioners, can we take this without objection? clerk call item 6 >> it's the resolution approving the emergency contract are for the environmental clean up & of soil and water and the run away safety area of the
8:42 pm
flight 214 with an amount not to exposed a certain amount and a thanks for being back. happy new year. the item before i is an emergency soil contract with clean harbors and environmental services. the airport engaged the services of clean harbors in the aftermath of the asian crash over the summer for work totaling $871,000 plus for services involving 9 clean up of the airfield. as you know asian on a flight missed it's approach at the san francisco airport and damaged the seawall and run away u way areas. one of the direct impacts of the
8:43 pm
crash and the emergency response on the airfield was some contamination of the soil in the drainage system with the jet fuel and the fire chemical. the top 6 inches of contaminated soil was to be removed prior to the work to repave the damaged pox of the run way. this was necessary this work had to be done before we opened runway 28. it provided the clean up of the storm drablg. the cleaning of the pump station and the treasurer storage of the
8:44 pm
contaminated material and other work required before we could do the work to open the runway. it will be paid for by the fund that was approved by the board of supervisors. the amount we're requesting here for this contract will be included in our claims associated with the crash. originally the airport commission was notified this this emergency contract wouldn't succeed 20th century $1 million since then we've got invoices totaling 8 hundred thousand plus which the the amount the budget analyst recommended you approve today. if you have any questions, we'll be happy to answer them >> thank you, colleagues any
8:45 pm
questions. >> okay. thank you very much. mr. rose can we go to our report, please >> mr. chair and members of the committee on page 26 we point out on table one on page 27 they've submitted invoices and the environmental clean up work in the regrading of the work was completed on september 19, 2013. as was testified it will be paid from the maintenance appropriation boards and the airport will seek reimbursement from the airlines. mr. gibner points out we should change the language slightly where we say to reduce the interact amount we shouldn't specify an amendment of the
8:46 pm
contract but acknowledge that the contract amount will be reduced by the $128 million down. the board didn't amended the contract but you should our recommendation is to amend the resolution to amend that amount. >> so to be clear we're not touching the contract but did reds to essentially to add to the substance. >> and then approve the recommendation as recommended. >> are you okay with this. >> the airport is okay with that and i'll get the clerk's office to remedy the corrected amount. >> thank you very much. you've been around here before. any other and a open this up for public comment.
8:47 pm
seeing none, public comment is closed. colleagues, can we have a motion to approve the amendment as suggested by our budget analysts. and the motion to approve the amendment >> all right. madam clerk, call item 7 >> item 7 is the retroactively arthur's the management on behalf of city for the bay area to having spent in the amount of 6 hundred and 90 thousand for less security through the california office of emergency services. >> great. thank you very much we have a colleague here. >> i'm from the department the emergency management. this is for the securities initiative grant. as you, you know, it's a
8:48 pm
terrorism grant and that's why this is before the board of supervisors today. they pay for equipment for first responders around the bay area. we include this grant but before we knew how much money we were going to get this year we estimated a little bit good low and the department of the homeland security gave his money above the budget so this is an expected amount for the balance of the money. in san francisco this will support the outreach teshlz where we help folks get ready for a disaster and the website is in 5 languages and we'll be able to expand that and the
8:49 pm
funds will pay for the cyber security and other purchases for firefighters and police officers and other first responders around the bay area. it provides no additional jobs if you have any questions, we'll be happy to answer them >> supervisor mar. >> i have a quick question thank you for explaining this. what kind of multi lingual languages are available and is it on the internet >> thank you for that question supervisor mar. >> yes. for the physical approaches we have smaller much more brief information than what we used before. we have this in english and spanish and chinese and russian and vietnamese and the website

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
8:54 pm
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.
8:55 pm
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
8:56 pm
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.
8:57 pm
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
8:58 pm
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
8:59 pm
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
9:00 pm
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 effective
