that is a concern. >> i believe from the appropriate concerns around the diabetes center. >> why that was mentioned it would help. >> thank you, director. >> i look forward to working with director ram and i want to thank the commissioners because i worked with you during this process and will is the community along with cpmc. the department of course has the development agreement and we have the responsibility to provide this overall health in our city for example with the ebola response we worked very closely with the hospital and made site visits to make sure they were prepared. we are obligated to ensure that when we hear things like diabetes and cultural competency i think we can work closely with cpmc and a

stronger way to ensure that they are culturally competent. i don't see why i can't work with them closely to ensuring them. also the mso issue in the tenderloin, i think we can solve that. we tried to work very closely with the clinic consortium and there is an mso within that group and that is an example. so there is i think a possibility of that. we also want to work closely to ensure that the new hospital does provide and i'm talking about the cathedral hill or the sand hill that it does have a structural response to medi-cal patients. we believe that's important, that's why it was in the beginning of our process and we'll continue to work with cpmc to ensure that and we'll begin our process to work with parties and i think we put a lot of effort into this and we still have a lot of

work to do and we can improve those areas for at least the development agreement on the health side. i want to thank all of you and thank the cpmc for the work that they have done. >> thank you, commissioners are there any further comments during our joint session here? >> one question. i tried to look for the language around the tdm that it says 223 5 years for implementation. i couldn't find it. if someone can sent me that language on the agreement specifically that would be really helpful because i think that's where some of the disagreement comes from also. >> i did have one further comment as we were talking about what elements should be put into the potential letter not only the issue of diabetes but because we are talking

specifically what might be the necessary services of saint lukes and not get into business plan of the cpmc enterprise, to really discuss what the community, what part of services community did need and i think the diabetes issue is important, but i think it maybe only a harboring of what the underlying issue which is how do we meet the needs of the current residents of the mission as well as what would be an expanded need as the city continues to expand. i think that is the underlying concern whether it be just simply a diabetes clinic or should be a gestational program or women's program or what not. so i think there should be not to subvert an overall master plan but

understanding how one meets those community needs at the same time as it meets the larger needs of the world center that it is building. and i would suggest that it be part of it along with that cultural competency again is not just simply on the issue of diabetes but that would cross all of the other programs that cpmc has. i into -- know they have some wonderful programs and that's another area that director garcia pointed out that once again the health commission does have that responsibility to see that we are getting the best health for our residents and so looking beyond just the saint lukes issue and we've had issues around renal care and how we deliver that care is there a better way than just the

translator that you call by phone because that meets the minimum, but isn't it better that we have somebody who could be culturally competent and be able to take care of that and are those possible settings because this is going to be a wonderful system we set up and we need to have what we are trying to do the very same thing within our very own city structure we are trying to see that the other hospital systems would be also looking at a better way than just meeting the minimal requirements as for cultural competency. i would hope those would be part of the emphasis within our letter that is being developed by the directors. so sorry, i took all that time. so we are back to i motion therefore for an adjournment is in order. is there a second?

>> i think we can say it jointly. okay. with the president's permission. all those in favor of adjournment please say aye. >> aye. >> all those opposed. thank you. we stand adjourned. >> for the commission's hearing at noon will begin at 1:15.

>> we came to seven straight about 10 years ago. -- 7th street about 10 years ago. the environment is huge. it is stronger than willpower. surrounding yourself with artists, being in a culture where artists are driving, and where a huge amount of them is a healthy environment. >> you are making it safer. push, push. that is better. when i start thinking, i see it actually -- sometimes, i do not see it but when i do, it is

usually from the inside out. it is like watching something being spawned. you go in, and you begin to work excavate play with the dancers, and then things began to emerge. you may have a plan that this is what i want to create. here are the ideas i want to play with, but then you go into the room and there maybe some fertile ideas that are becoming manifest that are more interesting than the idea you had initially set out to plan. so there has to be this openness for spontaneity. also, a sense that regardless of the deadline, that you have tons of time so the you can keep your creativity alive and not cut it off and just go into old habits. it is a lot like listening. really listening to watch what is going to emerge. i like this thing where you put

your foot on his back. let's keep it. were your mind is is how you build your life. if you put it in steel or in failure it works. that works. it is a commitment. for most artists, it is a vacation and a life that they have committed themselves to. there is this notion that artists continue to do their work because of some kind of the external financial support. if that was taken away, artists would still do their art. it is not like there is a prerequisite for these things to happen or i will not do it. how could that be? it is the relationship that you have committed to. it is the vocation. no matter how difficult it gets, you are going to need to produce your art. whether it is a large scale or

very small scale. the need to create is going to happen and you are going to have to fulfill it because that is your life. good morning, everyone. w0e789 san francisco land use & economic development committee i'm supervisor wiener the chairman of the committee to my right is our vice chair supervisor jane kim and to my left is supervisor cowen our clerk is andrea ashbury i want to thank sfgovtv for broadcasting today's hearing specific jennifer lowe and jessie larson madam clerk, any

and yerba buena this is an exciting project that is the first of its kind in the world visualize the light rail vehicles thin light strange longer than market street if the embarcadero to van ness sending delicately delicate lights matching the 200 underground trains people will monitor the trains by the above ground lights colleagues this is the transportation spine of san francisco and one of the most important streets it is deserving of improved treatment compared to what it is today that's why we're moving forward with the better street market plan as the supply moves forward

the light rail will build awareness for the 0 future improvements on market street 24 installation was conceived and advanced by the arts that is the same organization be responsible for the beautiful light bay lights on the bay bridge which the m t c approved or answered into an mou to make that installation on the bay bridge permanent this project will be opportunity and maintained for private funds in he and the city will not be responsible for the installation or maintenance slaegz colleagues we'll be hearing more first from the public works and then from ben davies from the arts. >> and good afternoon, supervisors i'm the city person from public works this project was into our office i have -

sorry. >> take your time. >> all right. all right. thank you again, this project came to public works back in june and we're reviewed it and we're into the regular process and this is the

light rail market from van ness to embarcadero about two miles illuminating the city which was described and it is the works first sculpture of its kind and the entire route has one hundred 42 lights that is going into the city through the tubdz and this is an example that joined obituary us we got from the sponsor which is the illuminate our of the arts this is the same thing that shows the ride this is typically what the future will look like on both sides of this is a cross section of market street which is not clear but you'll have two lights running with the traffic this is a temporary project

approximately 4 years and will be installed by illuminated art and deemed by them >> the installation will be. >> all done by sponsor. >> but approximately that 4 years. >> we'll hear more about that the reason it's temporary we don't know think go what is happening that the market street it could be permanent in the future. >> thank you led which is one of the things discussions crossing market street will not be allowed they would start at the intersection so large tracks of the train will stop and this is agreed by the city of the public works of mta the lights will not be crossing the

intersection basically right here at the intersection the lights will stop and continue from after the intersection what our office did was once we got the project reviewed we deferred to the planning for others and the sfmta and san francisco arts commission utilities public utilities commission and i think also the fire department they each agency responded and the applicant was everything was they have their discussion with the sponsor and they were they agreed with the project they continued they responded to our office with

their comments saying the project come mrildz to their general plan and sf arts commission recommended the project for approval the public utilities and the pot of gold they've agreed with the sponsor they yield their facility on project for their area systems projects were reviewed and the project was approved gordon's similarly sf fire department also had no objection on the project they made sure that the spokesperson needs to make sure they're working to put out a fire if anything happens the

sponsor will maintain it this is the cross section it shows the fire truck spreading it's lards and sometimes beyond the way of the lights and that was what was discussions between the sponsor and the fire department same thing this is just the care plan that agreed between the sponsor and the city as you can see in climax the sponsor supervisor wiener said the project received a lot of letters and support from the businesses individuals and that is the conclusion we have no objections as well one thing we actually, the city attorney reviewed it regarding

the resolution as we speak and will be communicating with your office. >> great i know there were i believe that mr. malmet would be proposing non-substantive amendments to the resolution you don't know. >> john gibner, deputy city attorney i don't have them i can talk to malmet. >> they're not substantive it's clean up language so if we don't have it today, we can take it up with the full board. >> he said he was working he didn't have time to talk to me. >> and again, if we need to make them at the full board tomorrow that's fine. >> okay. thank you. >> thank you very much to the department we have benefiting from the illustrated of the

arts. >> thank you, everyone thank you you know what makes a city great, of course, like san francisco is the land and the buildings and the way the city is laid out no street more important than market street and we looked at market street everyone knows about market street this is the specific spine of san francisco but what makes the city great is the people and our ability to work together the market light rail is an extraordinary example of a big community coming together many people consider on a possible challenging on this street that is 2.1 miles long in our city with 6 volts of power we're grateful for people making

that that includes the puc and the fire department and i don't think want to miss anyone else the preservation commission and sf planning and others beyond that the people at hoff people that designs high speed rail to make sure we have a starting point in a public space and it will extend ultimately people that are spider by the incredible work of you people and the private community to bring the money in place to surprise the world in a project wouldn't be possible without the community that made the bay lights a reality and today is is a great day we're getting xiefltd about that project i

want to take the moment to highlight the difference the bay lights there's a different artist with a different set of instruction and the artist are making a beautiful eloquent statement and expression of civic automation it celebrates the mass transportation it used the light and energy and movement to create a sense of community up and down the length of market street but the emotional divides that keep it open for half a century i'm feeling grateful to everyone that made this project possible if you have any questions, i'll be happy to answer them. >> thank you to you and the bay lights and people that are to think about ways to beautify our

city and people that make it happen so thank you. >> thank you. >> okay. at this point we will opening it up for public comment is there any public comment on item one. >> good afternoon, supervisors chair weiner and supervisor cohen and supervisor jane kim joe from the local 6 probably here as a san francisco resident to speak in favor of the project we have a good history with the contractors working on the bridge the transfer of the lighting is all there glad to see we're going to be working with management and labor and with the asphalt installation of the lights they're modern sger active lights our thank you electricians maintain the high

voltage and the power lines so i'm confident in the sponsors reaching out to make sure it is done correctly i'm here to speak in that far of the project. >> thank you very much. is there any additional public comment on item number one seeing none, public is closed so colleagues. >> well, i'll make a motion to move forward with a recommendation as a committee report and great to see us moving forward i don't know when ben came into our office but it's beautiful and really looking forward to add my name as a co-sponsor in our district and happy to sponsor the bay bridge it is incredibly beautiful i know when we were first approach for the bay
