now when i see it every month i know what progress i'm making and if i need some help. then i think the collaboration with our number -- pharmacy is fantastic. they can call us we have some chronic pain pharmacists who can taper patients because that's tough and with my practice maybe two or three patients is all i can manage because it generates phone calls and e-mails and it's hard for a primary care doctor to do that. so if you have someone else helping you with that it makes it easier. that's all i have to present to you. i'd be happy to take any questions that you might have. >> commissioner: other questions from the board at this point? >> commissioner: this is very informative. it seems it would be easier to be more successful than the other plans. >> i think the integration

definitely helps. but i think the other plans can also do it. we hit 44% in two years. trying to virtually integrate and then the cure system would help us. >> well, again, i thank you for the presentation and the work you've done particularly in your recycle bins in the pharmacy. kaiser, without a doubt is the large largest prescriber of prescription drugs in the county and finally the bins started showing up. my household was lighter because of it so thank you. >> you asked about the dentist. i met with assemblyman wood who is a dentist and the california

dental association to work on this together. our kp pharmacists will call the dentists if we see a large prescription. if you have a root canal and it hurts three days you don't need 30 pills. >> commissioner: thank you very much. paige, do you have closing remarks on this topic at this time? >> do i not. >> commissioner: all right. well, we thank you each of the plan representatives. we thank aon for providing the overall leadership to this effort in terms of this presentation and for those who have made presentations today. we again thank you for that in terms of this particular topic. it's win of these things i'm sure -- one of these things i'm sure as we're doing renewal process we'll get more data on what the cost impact of this is. today's effort was not so much

about cost and i'm pleased to say the plans didn't start with that message because it isn't that alone. it really is about the health and safety of our members and how the issue is impacting them and that was the focus so thank you again. all right. nothing more on that. madame secretary. public comment -- i'm sorry. yes. remind me anytime i don't do that. >> dennis krueger being active retired firefighters and significant others. i made this statement the last time you had the discussion on opioids and i'm going to make it again. california and the way everything is described here is in pretty good shape with opioids though we have an

abundance of prescriptions. but all the health people here put so much pressure on the pharmaceutical industry to create a bridge drug. something that goes from opioid to non-opioid. the creation is when they stop them, it's cold turkey and that's what puts people on the street looking for drugs. it puts people raiding other people's medicine cabinets, any way at all. and until they find something to ease people off of it it won't go away. we have people from the health and optum here one of the biggest pharmacies in the country they need to put pressure to come up with a drug to take these people slowly off them and back into society. >> commissioner: thank you for

your comment. is there any other public comment? hearing and seeing none we'll move toite been item six. >> vote on whether to hold the closed session for update on health service system executive director search for ralph anderson and associates. >> we've been engaged in the process of finding a successor to a recently retired executive director. we are moving along at a very good pace and i'm pleased to report that we are hopefully coming to some of the closing interviews around this physician. it's necessary for us as a berd board to talk about the next steps in the process. as the next steps become clearer to us we'll ultimately be sharing them with you.

so i'm willing to entertain a motion to go to closed session. all right. it's been properly moved and seconded we go to vote on the director. is there an questions by the board? hearing and seeing none we're ready to vote. is there public comment. we're ready to vote. all in favor signify by aye. opposed? it's unanimously cared. we'll be going to closed session. thank you

>> we reconvene moving to item eight. it's been properly moved and seconded we not disclose our discussion held in close session or comments from the board on this motion. if not, we're now ready to vote. those in favor say aye. it passed. i'm ready to vote on acts taken in the closed session. it's been properly moved we do not report on the action in the closed session. it's been moved and seconded. is there comment perfect the

board. hearing and seeing none we're ready to vote. those in favor signify by saying aye. opposed. carries unanimously. the meet being of the board of directors for the sitting county of san francisco health system is now adjourned. [pounding gavel grkd -

[off mic] >> chair m. mondejar: oh, by the flag.

[off mic]

>> chair m. mondejar: thank you to the public for indulging us for our photo session, photo opportunity. madam secretary, will you please call the next item. >> the next order of business is agenda item 5d. consenting to former successor agency employee thor kaslofsky's request for waivers from the successor agency's post-employment restrictions related to work on housing projects at the candlestick point-hunters point shipyard and artist community at the hunters point shipyard, discussion and action, resolution number 46-2017. madam director? >> thank you. this item is before us because thor, former employee of o.c.i.i. has been an employee for about ten years, is requesting a waiver. and morales, general counsel will be giving the overview and

thor will be available to respond to questions, if commissioners have any. >> president mondejar, members of the commission, i'm jim morales, general counsel. as you know, the agency has a policy that says that former employees, commissioners and consultants, essentially have a duty of loyalty, or another way of saying it is an obligation not to switch sides on issues they worked on while they were employed by, or working with, the agency. this would apply both to work under the redevelopment agency, as well as o.c.i.i. if an employee, for example, has been working on issues for the agency, and then leaves and decides to go in the private

sector work for another party on similar issues of a particular nature, they have the obligation, if they want to continue to work on those matters for another party, to seek the agency's consent. the agency's role in reviewing that, or the commission's role in reviewing that is to determine whether or not there would be any detriment or hardship to the agency to have a former employee work on a matter that that employee had worked on for the agency itself. there's concerns about possible conflicts or disclosure of information and the like. this policy, the city also has a similar policy in its ethics laws, the ethics commission reviews these on a somewhat regular basis when former employees, commissioners and the like seek a waiver.

just as background information, the redevelopment agency commission adopted this policy in 1982. it is a permanent prohibition on employees, commissioners working on matters that they had worked on as an employee or commissioner of the agency. but recognizing that there's also an interest in having people move on and go on life after the agency whether it be as employee, commissioner or whatever, there's an opportunity to obtain the consent of the agency to waive that prohibition. mr. thor kaslofsky was originally hired by the redevelopment agency in 2005. he became a project manager in 2008. and as a project manager, he

over saw a wide variety of issues related to the approval of projects, the approval process that the agency goes through in vetting and reviewing projects. his primary focus was on the hunters point shipyard but also issues related to candlestick point. he left o.c.i.i. in 2015, after having survived the dissolution of the redevelopment agency and he went to work in the private sector. he is a principle at a group called common ground urban development, a local real estate developer that's involved in projects here in the city, as well as elsewhere. given his involvement in a variety of matters at the shipyard, he has identified a couple of projects that he wants to work on now, that have

a connection to his past life at the agency. one is to work with land lease, which is a general contractor for projects, or hopes to be for projects at the shipyard candlestick point area under the phase ii d.d.a. and in working with lend lease, his business would be to work through some of the contract compliance issues, the community outreach and construction management that would be associated with housing projects that are to be built in candlestick point. in addition, he seeks to advise star which is a non-profit board that is the shipyard trust for the arts.

that is a group that has been very supportive of the artist community at the shipyard. and as you know, preservation and expansion of the artist community at the shipyard has long been a priority of the redevelopment agency and continues to be a priority of o.c.i.i. it's embedded in the redevelopment plan in the d.d.a. and there are significant steps that we are taking to try to maintain that artist community. so mr. kaz love -- kaslofsky would like to advise star and members of the board on issues related to the artist community. in reviewing what mr. kaslofsky has submitted and considering other factors, staff finds no reason to disapprove this consent. we don't find a basis to

determine there's a hardship or detriment to the agency but ultimately that's a decision for the commission to make after reviewing the materials submitted and hearing from mr. kaslofsky himself. so at this point i would like to turn it over to him to present to you. i don't think we should have a time limit in case he wants to exceed the 3 minutes and he is certainly available to answer any questions you may have. >> chair m. mondejar: thank you, counsel morales. good afternoon. >> greetings, commissioners. i have several pages of remarks here. i will try to be short. i'm just joking. greetings commissioners, president mondejar, director sesay. it's good to see the good work is still going on at the commission post resolution. i'm thor kaslofsky.

socially responsible real estate developers. i appreciate you considering my request for a waiver of o.c.i.i.'s post employment restrictions in my work working with lend lease and also as a member of star, the board. as my letter and staff memo states, me being involved as a community consultant with lend lease and as a board member of star, at the hunters point shipyard and candlestick sites is not likely to create potential for unfair advantage with the commission or o.c.i.i. by seeking this waiver i'm following o.c.i.i.'s personnel policy which suggests to engage in this kind of work i stated in my letter, that employee has to seek the commission's permission to do that. as an employee of o.c.i.i. i always operated ethically and i continue to do so in my business as a socially

responsible developer. if i encounter a matter in the future i felt were prohibited i would recuse myself or seek o.c.i.i.'s guidance. i appreciate the commission's consideration of this waiver that will allow me to continue to provide for my family and contribute to the bayview community. thank you. >> chair m. mondejar: thank you. madam secretary, do we have any speaker cards? >> yes. ace washington. >> wow. i'm just tickled black, not pink, to see this young man come back. he is a young man, not much younger than me but we were born on the same day. and i remember his first day back when it was redevelopment agency, see i'm a historian. just to be here, to give my stamp of approval, i'm sure that means something. we never had the pleasure of him working in the western edition, i wish we had.

he has been a very honorable and honest man in the bayview, because i worked in bayview a lot. particularly hunter's point. i never had any problems, always been honest. that's the main thing. i may not have liked it or they may not have liked it but when i hear he is going back there jumping for joy and particularly the younger generations to see we have a young man, good-looking young man too, that will be able to come to the community, and you know, what i mean by good-looking, don't get it wrong, you know. present for the youngsters to see they have someone in their community that looks like them, who will be able to work and maneuver and work for them. and that's a good maneuver, where you switch the role. now i've seen individuals from this agency and other agencies come back into the community. i never heard this process. maybe i missed it. because some of them i never

would have okay'd them to come back, know whag they know and working on the other hand. you see. and that's what you you call community reform, in a way. use because i'm sure thor will be working in the interest of whomever he is working for and have no personal vendetta or maybe pressure from you guys when working. i'm happy for you, thor. i had seen him in the community last week at a closing of a business in the fillmore 1300. that's just a fact. we will talk about that when i come back. but i'm here, and i'm glad i'm here. for the record he has the stamp of approval from ace on the case. welcome back, brother. welcome back. >> chair m. mondejar: thank you. >> no other speaker cards. >> chair m. mondejar: hearing no further requests to speak on this item, i will now close public comment and turn to my fellow commissioners for any questions or comments?

>> i'm fine. >> the only comment i have is i have no problem with the waiver. i think it's narrow, it's consistent with our policy. i know thor's good work as a former employee of our agency. and i think with this waiver it will serve the public interest, so i'm in favor. >> chair m. mondejar: i've known thor, or mr. kaslofsky from the beginning, when i joined the commission. and have been very helpful in orienting us into the projects of the bayview, hunters point and the shipyard. so i also have no objection to the waiver. so any other comments? yes commissioner singh? >> i've known thor since he started working here, you know, so yeah. >> chair m. mondejar: do i have a motion? >> so moved. >> second. >> chair m. mondejar: moved by commissioner bustos, seconded

by commissioner rosales, madam secretary, please call the roll. >> commission members please announce your vote when i call your name. commissioner rosales. >> yes. >> commissioner singh. >> yes. >> vice chair bustos? >> yes. >> madam chair mondejar. >> chair m. mondejar: yes. >> madam chair, the vote is four eye's. >> chair m. mondejar: the motion carries, congratulations. madam secretary, please call the next item. >> the next order of business is agenda item 5e, authorizing a ground lease agreement and an amended and restated loan agreement for an aggregate not to exceed $20,593,600, both with mb3e, lp, a california limited partnership and affiliate of chinatown community development center and swords to plow shares for the development of 119 rental units including one manager's unit, serving formerly homeless veterans and low-income families at mission bay south block 3 east 11503rd street a

philanthropic dollars for the veterans for low -- homeless families, for 100% affordable housing project. and this allows us to take the next step in securing a loan, entering into a loan agreement with the developer to initiate construction. so with that, i will turn it over to kim to present on this item. >> great. thank you very much. good afternoon, madam chair and members of the commission. i'm kim obstfeldt with o.c.i.i. community redevelopment housing team. i'm here seeking authorize for the director to enter into a ground lease and amended restated loan agreement with chinatown community develop. center and swords to plowshares, block 3 east. planned 119 unit development that will serve formerly homeless veterans and low-income families. this request is made in

6,514 residential units in mission bay with nearly 30% total set aside as affordable housing units. in mission bay north all 698 inclusionary and o.c.i.i. sponsored units have been completed and mission bay south, 350 affordable units have been constructed in the project area and another 868 are planned or under construction. the o.p.a. requires the master developer submit development plans in major phases, major phases include commercial and residential development, parks. they included block 3 east in 2005 blocks 2-7 and 13. at that time block 3 east was confirmed as an affordable housing site. the development process for block 3 east started in may 2015 with the issuance of a request for proposals or r.f.p. for the site. shortly after the r.f.p. was

released mayor lee held a press conference to announce a partnership citizens technology innovation or s.f. city through which a group of philanthropists donated approximately $4.5 million to accelerate development on block 3 east and provided much-needed housing for veterans and families. in june 2015 the team lead by c.c.d.c. and swords to plowshares with architects was select today -- selected to develop the site. in february 2016, the commission approved an exclusive negotiations agreement and predevelopment loan to fund design and other predevelopment work on the project. later the commission approved a schematic design and option to ground lease agreement. as i mentioned, s.f. city through the work of hamilton family center contributed a total of approximately $4.5
