adult and aging recognizes nona chan, of ihss. could you come forward? >> >> is that better? >> hi, mona, how are you. >> congratulations good morning. >> so, mona chan is one of the clerks in the inhome supportive service and i think that one of the things that often happens in operations like ours is that we forget that there are a lot of people who are behind the scenes who work really hard to support all of the work that we do and all of

the work that we do with the san francisco residents and so i just waned to say quickly before i read what your colleagues have written about you mona, that she is part of a really important team and ihss, and she is one of the clerks, and her supervisor is here, and the clerks just do an incredible job. and one of the things that they are going to be doing is they are going to a lot of them any way are going to be supporting our new hub that we talked about that are going to be at two goff and in addition to the work that mona has done, i want to recognize the workers and the folks who really work behind the scenes to make ihss as successful as it is in san francisco. and so, mona, here is what the people have said about you. >> mona has been working for the city and county of san francisco, for over eleven years. she started in february of

2004 as a receptionist at 2035 mission, and october in 2006 came to dos and ihss to work as a clerk she worked hard behind the scenes for the inhome supportive services and she provides clerical support to the units along with all of the other various tasks and duties thrown at her on a daily basis, she takes the initiative to assist and pick up and process extra work loads when the ihss teams are short tasked. she is proficient with medical and med systems that enter face with the ihss system, which most of us don't know what that means i know that i don't. mona has learned and adapted quickly to the procedure changes after the affordable care act started in january of 2014, and gives the crucial feedback and suggestions to improve the communication and procedures and in addition, she has

volunteered for many yearsed for the earned income program and we thank you for your dedication and effort and skill and they are highly appreciated. it is with gratitude and pride that we present you with the march 2015 employees of the month. >> thank you. >> i thank the workers and my support and my supervisors and the workers, thank you. >> okay, thank you.

>> next we have director's report, executive anne hinton is not here and we will hear from the deputy director. >> so good morning commissioners and this morning i talked to anne and she is feeling under the weather and so she just sent her regrets and she did want me to talk about a couple of things and i think that the first thing that she wanted me to mention is that it looks like the older americans act is going to go to the full senate and that is big news and we have been talking about it for several years and we have been reauthorized and there is no specific date yet, but, that is, good news, we think. the second thing that she wanted media to talk about is that they had a very

successful policy day, and i think that it was last week or the week before? cathy? >> yes. >> last week. and cathy ruso and anne were there together and she said that they had a chance to meet with ting's office and leno's office and david chiu's office and that they actually met with david chiu in person. so that was really nice for them. and the big push this year was the state budget was the $37 million ask and these are the in order of priority but just, the list of asks is for protective services which includes ombudsman and nutrition and case management and family care giver and all of those services are things that have been cut back over the years or most of them have and so they ask us to restore the cuts that were made to some of those programs, and then in addition, there are some asks specifically for some of the programs that are new, but

the 37 million ask and it will be blocked granted which will allow us locally to have some flexibility with the spending. so that was really good news. and i wanted to talk a little bit locally here about our transitional care program. and i think that we have been and we have been report to you about the transitional care program over the past year and a half. and we just did the analysis of the savings for the readmissions that we avoid, for that we have saved cms, $4.8 million and which is good and they have paid us back one million and so we have actually netted them quite a bit of money and that said, when we talk to the program officer last month, they said that your volume is not where it is supposed to be, and we don't care about the money, we care about the volume and our staff has done incredible amount of work,

and we have actually asked our internal staff, to start doing home visits so, some of our programs, volunteered staff, to just kind of do a last ditch effort and have the people go out and complete the home visits so that we could build the cms. and those programs that contributed to that were ihss, and aps, >> when the new california academy of sciences opened in 2008, it quickly became one of the top tourist magnets in the city. part of the cal academies' astronomical success is the weekly nightlife party.
