11:30 pm
work. >> and with the clinics we need to think of the future and probably not remodeling -- [inaudible] >> and team approaches is the theme and taken the work and many have lean processes along with it so that's why in one example of why i supported the lean process because it does gives us -- for example the public health lab did a lot of work and one of the important labs in the city and serves the entire city for infectious disease we being have and outbreak and want to make that lab as efficient as possible. it's on the fourth floor if you would like to take a tour i would like to show you. it's not an efficient lab and we have been adding on in this not seismic safe facility. >> is that part of this bond. >> yes and on the fourth floor. >> moving into zuckerberg. >> all right.
11:31 pm
>> we will move keeping into it and any other comments so through mark and make sure the staff gets that and we have plans to show you the plans and the details. >> back to the financial questions at the interface of the bond budgets and what is not in the bond budgets which maybe a television that wasn't planned or a chair or stool or a staff i guess how do those things get worked out? what is in the bond and what is not in the bond? and what if they're under run or over runs how do the dollars get worked out? >> we don't allowed over runs sir. >> [inaudible] [off mic] >> how do we manage the risks around the budget since we're talking about budget? >> surely won't be a television set; right? >> yeah, right. so we can go into as much detail you would like but we have a pretty good process that we practiced in
11:32 pm
2008 bond which had a very large and ebs -- extensive program and we have high level of magnitude and we literally have a process where we bring in outside consultant that develops a data base of every piece of equipment that is going to be purchased or that we would like to be purchased for the facility. then we go through the process of prioritizing and trimming that down. it's an iterative process. i think when we started with the 2008 bond the new hospital we at one point had a list of well over $200 million we ended upbringing down to 170 including all of these things and it and equipment so we will go through the process. >> furniture --
11:33 pm
>> i'm sorry, furniture, fixture and equipment and it needs so we have a good process in place and at the end of the day we are going to have a budget that we have to work from and then we're going to have to go through and work with the project team and the operations to determine what's a must have and what's a would like to have. the must haves will have to work around the budget. the like to haves we will draw the line at budgeting and we also have an ongoing process of having things that are in at day one and things that will be at day two so i think we have a got good process in place. terry satz manage the process for the 2008 bond and we have a process how to manage that.
11:34 pm
>> thank you very much. >> commissioner loyce. >> thank you for the presentation along with your colleagues. i have what i think are simple questions and probably will get simple answers but i would like to know what the go oversight committee fee is? what do we get for that? and what's the formula for arriving at that and at the same time what the controller auditor fee and i am wondering what we get for it? >> they're voter approved measures that the controller's office office worked closely to develop the costs. the audit fee is something that the controller uses to go into and look at a project that contractors and subcontractors are not over charging the city through the rates or labor rates or a special problem we want them to look at and they looked at one of the projects related
11:35 pm
to the ucsf research facility and the expandablity of the garage and used some of the funds from the controller that goes into that pot of money. let go bok committee was approved by voters to review the dollars spent to make sure they're being spent in line with what the voters approved so that's their mission and i think that's a quarterly meeting joe? it's a quarterly meeting that we go up there, present much of the same things you're seeing today and then we get their comments back in terms of individual members. >> thank you. >> thank you. commissioner sanchez. >> now i just want to thank all of you for this excellent
11:36 pm
presentation. i mean we have been involved in various parts of it like sfgh before, laguna honda, southeast clinic, close the dialysis, don't close it tb and all of them are in the radar and you forget about them and we are focusing on different issues and see you in the years focusing on one project but this the first time i can recall all of a sudden it's presented pertaining to the totality of what we're in the process of doing and i think you gave an excellent understanding of the different funding methods between the different bonds and the fact that some of the mayors have expedited that knowing that we've had lag time before so why not like for the berg bargaining
11:37 pm
hospital and use general fund to move on but this took time and effort but this is the first time we had oversight pertaining to all of these above and with the time factors and whatever. it blows your mind saying wow. all of a sudden we have a much wider picture and we will be looking at them as we proceed on because i mean i was so glad to see the tb units and all of these things are still on the raider we forgot and all of a sudden it's here again and chartered and where the funds come from and the time factor but part of the overall vision so i just want to thank everybody and the director in particular for saying you know let's integrate this and bring it together so we have a complete radar of what in fact we're doing in the department of public health with funds generated through the different processes and doing the quality
11:38 pm
assurance et cetera. this gives a comprehensive understanding so i want to thank all of you and i know it takes a lot of time and you're involved in many segments of it and it brings it together for us. we look forward to a future presentations. this it takes a lot of time but keeps us in whichd and we thank you for that. >> so director garcia since this is new and looking at a total bond issue rather than previously trying to get the go dollars to do it i'm going to ask how we should be able to track this because it's actually multiple projects and the project schedule is here. >> we're going to come to you quarterly and what we will probably do is take one project at a time and that's something we will work with you but i wanted to acknowledge commissioner sanchez's comments
11:39 pm
and we take this seriously. they're from voters to give us dollars and we are responsible to use them responsibly so we added layers of oversight in the department that everyone is accountable to the voters so i want to acknowledge terry and his team and others in the room and mark primo that lead us around the bond process. dpw plays an important partnership with us and we have to figure out what we will give up to make the dollar work and that's what we did with the hospital and i think we had to do to make sure we're responsible to the voters and get the project done and it may be different at the end and you don't know when you pull out a wall in the older buildings if you have done renovations but i want to acknowledge the fact that greg and i sit on a team and we do oversight. we asked
11:40 pm
dr. eric to be the project manager oversight for building five and she's doing that and so we have layers of oversight to ensure we're meeting the goals but it starts with our staff. they have to give us input how it should work so we spend a lot of time on the front end and allowing staff to give input with the designers. i don't design the clinics. the staff does. it doesn't work unless you have their input so i think we do that pretty well and getting good at it and so but it is important for us to meet the voters goals and also be responsible for the dollars. we feel really responsible for that and i think the staff do as well because they know we may not get another bond if we're not doing these right. the voters gave us their support for this and so we feel obligated that we meet
11:41 pm
those goals but i want to acknowledge mark primo who has done a wonderful job for us. >> and has been doing a wonderful job for us for years. >> since this is the first piece we will try to put a calendar for the process and get the full picture and look at it from the design and construction and close out since that's the way it is and get deep into it and ask questions and if we don't do enough do the next time and the input to feel comfortable about the process. >> excellent. i think this a new area that we're now moving into allow us to follow the project here or projects. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> thank everyone for the work that they have done. >> shall we go -- was there any public comment? >> no public comment requests for this item. >> can we go on to the next item? >> sure item 8 is other business.
11:42 pm
>> commissioners other items that you may wish to bring up at this point and time? if not i would just note and i know we sometimes merge this but on our calendar we were looking at the community programs and the director and i were suggesting that we actually consider going to the sunnyvale who had a wellness project and programs out in that area. >> oh sure. >> so we are open to your suggestions also but that's what we're looking at at this point and trying to find the right timing and we have a site out there already. >> wonderful, and commissioner i was waiting for the elections to occur as to once that happens to deal with the president and vice president on dates and trying to hone that down but i will take the suggestion to talk to director garcia. >> okay. notice -- no problem and going to
11:43 pm
a community each year that this has been our latest thought that sunnydale must be an appropriate place to go to so we are accepting any commissioners and their ideas and that would be fine. commissioner loyce. >> yeah. not so much an idea. i wanted to express i went to the event at the castro 38 last night and commissioner chung is in the movie and next week and san francisco state students if you want to know about san francisco's lgbt transgender community and the commissioners are in the movie and good to get the historical perspective. >> very good. i didn't get
11:44 pm
the dates but what station. >> abc and it begins next monday from nine to 11. >> okay wonderful. all right. we're on to our next item i think. >> i will note there is no public comment on item 8. next is the update on the laguna honda hospital jc. commissioner sanchez. >> great. we had the meeting at laguna honda and calendared as close session and reviewed matter et cetera including medical certification and placement. there was a vote taken pertaining to the medical staffing and that's all we have to report because it was a closed session. >> okay. thank you. next item please. >> item 10 is committee agenda setting. >> okay. so further committee agenda setting if anybody wishes but we would note that
11:45 pm
elections for officers are officially scheduled by our bylaws on -- >> march 21. >> march 21. just for the record. any further comments on any the calendar or other items? if not then we can move on to the next item. >> yes, consideration for adjournment. >> oh a motion for adjournment is in order. >> so moved. >> i heard a motion and a second. all in favor say aye. >> aye. >> all opposed? this meeting is now adjourned. thank you. [gavel]again.

one hundred of units have been completed >> (clapping.) >> 36 affordable inform middle-income and low income we have to keep it going working very hard and build and when we work together we can get stuff done today we are announcing something i really am excited about supervisor katie tang is reinching home sf home sf is a working with our developer community with the neighborhood with our labor leaders we can do more than that zoning if we provide more incentives this is what working with the board will be helpful in doing so with the home sf program over 6 to 8 hundred more restrictive units can be built in the city for middle-income and families throughout the city i'm excited with the supervisors come up with creative ideas i'm sorry 6
11:50 pm
thousand did i say - 6 thousand units i'm getting excited when we are initiative at the same time our residents say we have to be practical whether we work together both can be accomplished with quality housing that all of our units represent and our nonprofits help to manage and the you city we are refugesized your public housing portfolio not see combe e delipidated housing you'll see housing that mixed use and the residents are the same people but with a lot more restrictive hope excited about working with the board let's get more housing for everyone let's have a great valentine's day. >> thank you, mayor ed lee and we're announcing a renewed effort around a program designs
11:51 pm
for middle-income and working-class families guaranteeing new projects thirty percent for working-class families and a requirement that over 40 percent of units are at least two bedrooms or grooemz e three bedrooms to serve our families that want to have children. >> (clapping.) >> so we will be bringing forgot legislation in the board of supervisors in the coming months and hope you'll join you there's a lot of things happening this in the federal government there might be people that don't want to include us in the country in san francisco we embarrass diversities we really need to walk the talk and build the housing that is inclusive and not begun that for generations i hope you'll join me and the people that working hard in our city we want to make
11:52 pm

11:53 pm
a city of the/88 we have to make drastic steps in the housing policy the only way to house people to make a bold step so we're here to say that is time to step forward for working people and step up for working families and need to begin to make them a priority in my district prior to the great recession you could find an affordable housing but now homes are north of one million dollars in the sunset homes well noting of one million dollars in the bloifts approaching one million dollars not for working-class and the market took care of of itself but our chances and opportunity to make a bold move and steps towards working
11:54 pm
families over the decades produced 23 thousands of low income housing when a redevelopment agency we produced housing for working-class but no consistent funding stream for working families i'll repeat no consistent funding stream for working families so if you're a janitors if you're a laborer if you're a pledgeer or carpenter and a hotel working or noose no housing designed for you, we don't have the funding we need to make bold steps in the coming weeks we'll talk about inclusionary but i stand here today in full support of everyone that supervisor katie tang we need to step up for working class families.
11:55 pm

11:56 pm
successful hiring program in the country. >> (clapping.) >> a wouldn't have been possible without the leaders from government and lavish and housing advocates but that breaks down it all breaks down having a chance for local resident to get a job working with the trades from the community and breaks down when they seek to support their families and started a family and be a local hire in san francisco it breaks down when you don't have housing so this is a follow proposal here to talk about working families and middle-income housing generated and building trades everybody coming together like i said local hiring works when we have what? >> housing what do we forbode to build. >> housing human resources all right. let's pass this law. >> thank you next i'll have to
