the finance management did a lot of work on data analytics. we got additional resources dedicated and we are starting to make significant changes to that system that are felt by our membership. thank you for your support and thanks to all the board members saying that the team needs to step up. we are beginning to see that already. we are beginning to finalize the specifications for the prop b and the old prop c which is about when you retire if you were hired after 2009, the contributions of the city will vary and that has to be built into system so we know it automatically. we have to bring some members to the board or some notice to the board of some reconciliation we are going to have to do as we start identifying everyone who falls in the levels

correctly. the data base, the panel will begin in the next couple weeks to actually select an an all claims data base. the data manager and i were on a call today where we listened to risk adjustment and how it's being done across the country by the states that have exchanged. there is a lot of work that goes into it and a lot of effort, but i think i'm expecting that california will be doing their risk adjusting at a state level. we are building our data base to also be able to do risk adjustment and i'm supportive of the comments of the team today and that is the way of the future. a lot of efforts around data analytics to go with the negotiations and the units. the marriage certificates that were received for partners

who had paid income over the last prior years we've now worked with pay roll to correct w 2's back to 10, 11, 2012 and 2013. i think with the wellness team we have a health coach every wednesday now taking appointments for people in the civic center area. the shape up walking challenge is going strong and i think eap has been very busy and enjoying the new location. it gives them a little more room to do counseling sessions. i think that's it for my highlights. >> did you want to add anything? >> we want to encourage our commissioners and our loyal audience to join our shape up walking team. you can help boost our numbers.

will be continued until next meeting. >> item no. 9, please. >> city clerk: item 9. discuss item, report on network and health plan issues if any? >> any reporting on that? we've had a lot earlier on. so probably nothing new. >> all right. public comment on this item? come forward, please. thank you. >> i'm rudy faufs and represent the retired. i'm just wondering, i got your wonderful survey for people who need more cleanings per year. if we are talking about

keeping the routine cleaning stuff outside the amount whether it's $1200 whether the other cleanings i need could be covered? i'm not the only one. many of us need four cleanings. we get annoyed. we don't spend $1,000 and we need this covered. >> i don't believe that was considered. i don't believe it was considered as part of one of the issues. >> it wasn't specifically. although we might have talked about it. we didn't actually price to see if it was different. i understand the request seems to be reasonable and we'll ask delta dental.

it's coming back to the next board meeting with recommendations and we can have the price on board so you can view that as one of the options. >> any other public comment? seeing none. item no. 10. >> city clerk: item 10 , discussion items. items to put on future agenda? >> i just have this comment. i raised the point with kaiser and want to also say to any representative of blue shield, this physician information that's been released by medicare in how the these health plans are going to respond to either clarifying or interpreting the data out there is something this board would like to have comment

on. if i can have public commitment to assessing it in the context of their medicaid or retiree proposals to us. i think it's something that we need to, that blue shield needs to speak to as well at some future point. so i just make that as a public comment at this point for a future agenda. >> thank you. any other suggestions? any other public comment on this item? seeing none? item 11. >> city clerk: item 11, opportunity for the public to comment on any matters within the boards jurisdiction. >> any public comment? no public comment. if there isn't any objection, this meeting is adjourned.

nice to travel today on the matrix are 5 bills 3 to recommendation for support and 2 opposition bills. on the support the first measure is recently amended bill sb on page 6 of the matrix. so far attests on the matrix on page 6 it will grant to the recreational transportation agency and that definition includes san francisco ta he the san francisco bay areas low combroont the authority under current law to use c m g c it's an contractor for the emerging best practices for the implementing transportation projects it will only be an authority i can go into more

details but we're recommending support it's an authorization to use going forward the task. a b-2197 by mr. mullan is on page 9 of the matrix that deals with temporary plates and supported by ta c the concern is the lag time between car prufrpdz and plating and toll revenues that is associated with the lag time. the bill will simply say the dealers will have a process that immediately allows them to print a readable plate that will be placed on the windshield. the rules and regulations can read that as they go through the road toll services we're

recommending support. and the final measure you may have some questions the measure is sb 1047 and it's a reluctant at this point that's a measure to provide a pilot program to examine the vehicle miles traveled as a tax base to supplemented the current competently sister tax we've a watched over the two decades the core tax has some frailty and it runs counter to the state it's a per gallon tax wire trying to get vehicles to a more fuel-efficient state and making good progress. this will call for a pilot

program i don't expect this to be a version it was out there let's get n this moving but the author it is not on having something adapted and caltrain's is advising little proliferation administration on the m t approach those efforts may come together. the two opposed positions we're recommending the first one is a b-203 on page 7 it expands the number of green decathlons that are permitted for access by plug in hybrids into the lanes. ironically the bill ran into problems so we're not sure how

this will come forward so if we're going to oppose it i recommend not the temporary position having failed on the assembly floor if you want to oppose it i want to make that recommendation to you and lastly a b-20 of this is interesting approach to go back and requiring and looking forward and requiring a vote on toll facilities in this state whether they be hot range or plan managed slow lanes that requires a mandated 2/3rd's vote of the public within a 5 mile stretch you decide of the toll services and it's unnecessary and super is lose but it would threaten

the express lanes and it includes ironically bridges so a close reading could require a future votes for the brings in the bay region to be subject to votes. those are our 5 bills i want to highlight fooushgs and the staff wants me to talk about other things if you have the time and patience. great. there are 3 vehicle waste vehicles that's a shorthand for the proposal to provide bridge financing for bridge repair under 2009 and 2010 and we got rid of prop 42 but part of that

shifted the fees that commercial vehicles pay for operating in the statistical those have been transferred to support of a b particularly about 9 had and $50 million a year and now that the general fund is moving in a healthy pathway one thought was a temporary or ongoing bridge funding that's worth that 9 hundreds and $50 million to bring back and defy i didn't it up to provide 44 percent to local maintenance the remainder going to the state. there are 3 bills we wanted to highlight that we've taken watch positions we shall not sure if those bills are going to have additional changes made and the real issue will be in the budget process there's time to come

back in may if you have a position one way or the other the need for transportation or the general state level that would anonymity support so right now their watched but there's activities around them. the second issue and it's a cap and trade issue i've tubed. i think the issue is now we've got a firm proposal for the first time by the governor for an expenditure of $850 million for the 2013-2014 budget but the expectation of several million dollars beginning in 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 as additional entities are brought under the cap and trade regime. two easier that i think this region and other regions in the

state that are pushing for more direct allocation to the mp os but the mp o and the destruction rather than leaving it as a grant position and several categories of interest and one is underfunded is the stable communities improvement or investment category i can't remember the last initial. the idea is there's a uniform pressure from all the mp os to increase the budget to support infrastructure development generally speaking with the communicable state funds.

in terms of the the senate leadership will proposes a new program for cap and trade that's contrary to the way they disperse the funds. we're going to see the state leadership prop more money going directly to mp o than the governor and this year might not be more funds for the stable investment category i believe there will be additional categories that local government's will be in favor have to lead to something strongly supported bipartisan's. the vehicle for that is the carbon tax bill that's been

introduced and the author is getting ready to move that aside for cap and trade. we're about to get into the actual negotiations between the myths, the senate and the recreational partners on what the framework should look like in the cap and trade revenues. it's been a long time coming >> supervisor tang. >> i have had a question about this bill regarding the temporary license plates i want to know what's prohibiting us from doing more work with the dmv so they can be more efficient not to spend all the time and research in this. >> i don't know the full history that's a resource issue more than anything their you funded by rental fees and i

recall the budget being put together there's tithe budget organization i think what the authorizes and sponsors are thinking to make that efficiency reform better it's costly and make that more difficult for eventually passage of that bill because of the pressure on the motor vehicle count there's no real reason why we couldn't examine that. >> i see the support on the position on a personal note, i want to see the dmv's progressing more efficient you're not adding on another layer. >> i'd be happy to talk with the mp c and see if there's more

rationale. >> thank you. i was wondering in you could talk about the sb the high speed rail you made a recommendation but i don't know if you can talk about the comments you wrote about the halting of high speed rail. which would prohibit state fund >> i offer stated that. why be spend the federal money up front until you know your got a project fully opportunity but taken into consideration together with oouthd other bills he's intent on bringing it to a halt that's my conclusion from watching the other bills a >> is
