128,000, and that will fund completion of tasks one through four of the scope of services. those tasks were defining the program objectives and requirements, assessing the vulnerablities and risks, creating the cyber security policies and cyber security manual. i'd like to also make a note that mosaic was the only proposer that will come to the transit center to resolve a major transit breach and remain as long as needed at no additional cost to tjpa. for me being in a worst case nar scenario world, that was very comforting for me.
11:01 am
[ inaudible ] -- with rail and bus, the nasdaq, and state of arizona department of administration strategic enterprise technology office. and staff's recommendation is that the board authorize the executive director to execute a professional services agreement with mosaic 451 for a three year term in an amount not to exce exceed 4,000, 391 dr, and this concludes my bri concludes -- concludes my brief subject to question. >> director reiskin. >> yes. a couple questions. one, we seem to miraculously have the highest rated by far be the lowest cost by far,
11:02 am
which is great from a value perspective, assuming those numbers all make sense, so the -- was -- did the disparity between the bid prices give you any pause for concern? how could they do something so much better yet so much cheaper than the other two? >> it did. we asked a lot of questions about that, and really what it came down to with century limpg is associated with at&t. de-lloyd, they're multinational. they scoped the project large, so when they showed up, they filled the firm with their staff. mosaic is a boutique firm, they're very agile, and they're able to scale and focus on exactly what is needed, and they did that in martheir presentation and proposal, so they came in much lower than the other companies that were
11:03 am
willing to provide a lot more than what we were asking for. >> okay. thank you. next question is are there certain standards that we required in the solicitation for them to get us to? i know there are iso standards and this standards and dhs standards. did we specifically what level of security they need to achieve? >> yes. we did. we had a laundry list in the rfp and in the contract that they will meet, and it sort of became alphabet soup. i can ask isaac or steve -- >> i don't need to know. i just want to know was there some standards that were required, assurances that were required, certain standards be in place. the next question is having the way the solicitation was structured, the people designing the system are then the people that are going to manage the system. what -- what does that mean for
11:04 am
the future? does that mean that we're essentially stuck in a future perpetual sole source operator, or if we were to change vendors in the future, that somebody would have to start anew? how would that work? >> i'll actually ask isaac to answer that question, but before i give up the mic here, while he has a chance to think about the question, with you looked at all of the items, and we will -- we will not just be -- tjpa will not just be the only people paying attention to what they're doing and ensuring that they're going the right way. we have our technology consultants who will also be ensuring that the path forward is the correct one and also maintain that quality is assured, but i'll turn it over to isaac now. >> good morning, the board
11:05 am
members. so this is isaac chin. i'm working for wsp. i'm a technology advisor for the tjpa. so to just answer your question in short, so the in general from our technology perspective, because why we're talking about this, everybody heard, this iop, there's a lot of things coming, in the cloud. there's a lot coming from the technology, manufacturing perspective, there's change coming. so we wanted a contractor that's not focusing on the current infrastructure as well as any possible -- this new technology within the scope because we are serving the facility from operation management perspective. we are not just saying what are is the current infrastructure. so that's why we address the future. we want the contractor when they appropriates their
11:06 am
proposal, it should be include those feature majority is moving in the internet side will be covered. >> thank you. but i guess my question is let's say they develop that, and they have the system up and running, they're managing a system that they themselves designed. if the subsequent procurement, if they are not the recommended vendor, will the -- their successor vendor be able to manage the system that they have developed for themselves or will we have to start this process all over again? >> so i can let the steve -- >> certainly, i can take that. my name is steve bresher. i'm the director of development for mosaic one. we build our systems so that they're structurally replacement. if you don't like us, you can fire us tomorrow. we provide you a log of record. that's the most important
11:07 am
thing. all the records of activities that go on within your environment will belong to you. so with that, you can replace us at any time. so we -- we pride ourselves on the clients that we do have and the ability to service them, but we look at this is if we're not doing our job, we deserve to be fired, and we give you every opportunity to do that. we give you all the information that you need. if you want to walk us out the door, it's all there. >> okay. thank you. we're not looking for opportunities to fire you. i just want to make sure if we enter into a contract and build a system that it'll survive any one contractor. my last question is, aside from showing up and staying until the problem is fixed, which certainly is a great thing, what accountablity if any is there in the contract for breaches? so if there is some security breach that brings down the transit center and deprives the
11:08 am
public and the commuters use of the transit center and track, is there any accountablity to the contractor for that breach? >> i think that's going to be a debra question, but the first things that we'll be doing is figuring out what happened, stopping is from happening, and then, we can assess blame afterwards. and if it's their problem, then, we'll be -- >> i'm not blaming, but measures of accountablity, they are in the contract. >> yeah. we do reserve the right to pursue damages, although we do not have the right to pursue punitive damages, so just actual damage. >> okay. thank you. >> yes, director hopper. >> yes. i'm going to simply propose that we bifurcate the contract between stages one and two, and three, four, and five. and that's because one and two are critical to convincing me the extent of what has to be
11:09 am
done. at this point, we've got a bus station on top of a shopping center under a park. we're not an airport, we're not even a big police department. we're not a hospital. i'm wondering -- i mean, there's a big difference between, as you folks know, system resiliency, which we certainly need to have resilient fire systems and things like that, and cyber security. i don't know who would want in, i don't know if they got in, what damage they could do. this is what one and two is doing, right? what are your threats, what are your risks? and i don't know if they did that damage, i don't know what the consequences would be. at this point, we've got three very simple things going on, and to spend $83,000 a month
11:10 am
for the next two years on cyber security, even though it's well priced -- i can imagine it is, given these things, but i still don't know why, because the bus decks, most of the software that's going to be running the bus decks is ac transit's. i presume most of the software that's going to be running the retails -- retailers are going to be the retailers. the park, i'm not quite sure what that's going to be about in terms of software. so it may be that we need $83,000 a month for cyber security. i won't close my mind to that, but what you have to do is you have to come back to me, and you have to say, we've done one and two, and here's what we find. thank you, $50,000, it's worth it. i've got no problem with that. but until i hear why this bus
11:11 am
station on top of a shopping center under a park needs that $83,000 a month cyber security, i really don't want to spend it. it may need it, but it may not after you really do -- and i appreciate, looking at your bids, that i think you kind of recognize that. and i'm not saying that you wouldn't come back and say, after one and two, you know, that $83,000 a month that we want, we're not going to need it. i'm not saying that. but i'm saying it because i'm curious. i want to know the risks, and i presume the architects and mechanical engineers, and everybody we spent years and years with have built in good resiliency, so i'm just saying,
11:12 am
let's bifurcate the thing and say guys, have at it, and really do a deep dive. and the other thing i hope you would come back with is regard to the threats, you know, we -- we are giving you the keys to the kingdom, and the jewels, and you are creating your own jewels in creating the macrokingdom. but that means you are the bigger target than we are. if somebody really, really, is a good hacker, i mean, russian level, chinese level, it's mosaic 451 that they would say, you get there, and you've got all the gold. you've got the airport's gold, you've got this gold, that gold. you would have -- you don't have to address it now, but you'll come back after one and
11:13 am
two, and say and this is why you're not making your security worse by putting it in the hands of a third party who then does become, because of their virtue of the systems that they have the keys to, you know, the people that you want. i know that, you know, in most practices now, there's a whole move to -- with the idea that everything is hackable, to disaggregate. a little bit back to the nike net like we had in the old days. this system is isolated from that to a little extent. to the extent that we put everything together, maybe after one and two you guys will say, okay. we want some walls in here in this thing, and that's what we're going to build for you because yeah, you are too integrated. so my suggestion is find out
11:14 am
what these guys are going to tell us about our needs and come back and tell us what it's going to cost to maintain that security that they then say we need. >> so director harper, i guess the line to install the system and develop criteria for monitoring the system, the 550 peryear, or the 83,000 permonth, that's for updating the system and monitoring the system. are you suggesting -- >> no, no, i'm not -- >> if we get attacked, we have to call somebody to help us. >> yeah, they'll figure out in these stages. but to enter into something now, saying we need $83,000 a month for security. >> actually, it's 46,000 plus. it's 46,000. >> i just say 83,000.
11:15 am
>> that's the contract, and much of the costs are up front, so the implementation free was 47,000, the staffing fee is 1128, and it's possible that could be used up before opening. >> i just think it would make sense to educate us first where we are at with things, and come back with a report saying this is what it would cost. >> can we come back with a report as part of this process -- sorry. >> yeah. this is just a contractual part. obviously rkts the things that we need -- >> yeah. my concern with this is we have an incredible complex building, so even on the park, as simple as it looks, we have a lot of infrastructure run on the network up there. all of our fire light, safety, emergency, the water recovery, everything on the bus deck
11:16 am
except for what the supervisor's office will have with ac transit, all of the signage, the way finding, that's all on the network. if the network goes down, the building goes down, and so it would be like turning on your computer and surfing the internet without having your virus on. that's our concern, that time is of the essence. we need to move forward with one task -- one through four will be somewhat overlapping. we will not finish task one, finish task two as we go along. >> director gee? >> yes. that was going to be my question. if we were to take this in pieces, we would probably not lineup with those dates that we've been talking about.
11:17 am
so as a compromise, i would suggest we -- happy to make the motion to approve with the report at the next meeting about threat assessments that have been identified as top priorities first, and then a subsequent report of risk analysis and investment, and not just to the building, because as i recall, we have other things beyond the building that were implied in our naming rights agreement that safety and security of the neighborhood was of utmost importance, too. this is not just about the building. it's much bigger when we look at threat assessment and risk to the neighborhood. so is that a reasonable request that in april or may, that a threat and risk assessment be brought forward so that we know what the consequences and risks may be and how they're being addressed -- or could be addressed or you're working to address them? >> yes. >> would that -- >> yeah, i think so.
11:18 am
if it's truly -- if they can understand the comeback, and that the board needs it -- minor things in terms of the contract that we're looking at is it's really not just insurance, but these folks having the keys and the jewels should be bonded, and we should be asking for a bond as -- with respect to. i mean, the founder got into some trouble with torrey pines because he lost control of a couple of underlings. it wasn't his fault, but he lost control of a couple of underlings, and torrey pines went do you object. so we want to get control of something there, don't lose control of these folks, because these guys are going to have everything, and they need it. i agree. so if the understanding is to kind of come back with this thing in a report, then -- and where we can, as you say, fire
11:19 am
you tomorrow, and say nice report, thank you very much, reevaluate, come back, then fine. sfl >> i did hear a motion. >> what. >> oh, something else? >> oh,sub contracting? i don't want to see kaspersky anywhere near this, and you know why. >> i heard a motion and a second. did you have a comment? >> just to modify the motion. >> comment, i think this goes without saying, but i want to make it clear to our chief safety officer that we wouldn't be asking you to bring anything to the board that would be considered security sensitive information, so there may be things that come from your initial analysis that would not be appropriate to share in a public forum. i think i can speak to the board -- >> there's our vulnerablity report.
11:20 am
look here. >> so we have a motion and -- >> second. >> thank you. first and second. no members of the public wanting to comment on the item. [ roll call. ] >> so that's five ayes. item 12 is approved. ready for your next item. >> yes. item 13. >> 13 is approving the recommended applicants to the citizens advisory committee. >> can we do this very quickly. >> okay. motion. >> second. >> we've got a motion and second. any members of the public wants to comment on the item? >> great report by the way. >> thank you. thank you. >> thank you. [ roll call. ] >> that's six ayes. item -- excuse me.
11:21 am
that's five ayes, and item 13 is approved. with that, i'll go ahead and all your next item, which is the annual election of chair and vice chair pursuant to the tjpa joint powers agreement, item 14. no members of the public have indicated they want to comment on the item, and are there any nominations? >> volunteers? >> i would nominate mohamed nuru as chair. >> second. >> great. >> whether he wants it or not. >> director reiskin nominating director nuru as chair, and vice chair gee seconding that. are there any other nominations? seeing none, and as i noted, no members of the public wanted to
11:22 am
comment -- [ roll call. ] >> the motion to elect director nuru as chair passed. the next up is the vice chair. do we have any nominations? >> i would nominate director gee. >> current victim. >> i like the way that was said. >> director reiskin has nominated director gee, and i -- >> second. >> we've got a second. with that, are there any other nominations? no other victims? okay. then seeing none, no members of the public wanting to comment on motion to elect director gee as vice chair -- [ roll call. ] >> the motion to elect director gee as vice chair has passed. that does conclude your regular
11:23 am
agenda. you're scheduled to go into closed session at this time. we've not received any indication that a member of the public wishes to comment on any of the items listed. >> so should go -- >> you have . >> all right. the tjpa meeting is back in session on march 8, 2018. can you sum up the closed session. >> as to item 18, conference with labor negotiators, the board unanimously appointed chair nuru as its designationed representative for negotiating a contract with the executive director. >> that does conclude your agenda for today. >> okay. our meeting's adjourned. >> okay. >> thank you.

11:25 am
clean power sf is san francisco's key way of fighting climate change by renewable energy and offering it to san francisco customers. i'm from the san francisco public utilities commission. the program came about with state wide legislation in 2002 to enable people to take more control over supplies. i first heard of the program when the organization was advocating to launch clean power sf. what i'm most excited about, it's going to bring 100% renewable energy to my home and reinvest into renewable energy infrastructure and jobs. i had gone to a lot of street fairs and heard from the staff at the san francisco public utilities commission to sign up
11:26 am
for clean power sf even before it launched. >> we learned about clean power sf because our sustainability team is always looking for clean operations. linkedin is the largest online network. there are about 530 million members using our site. in this san francisco office there's about 1400 employees working in roughly 400,000 square feet. >> after signing up for the program we heard about the san francisco program and learned they had commercial rates and signed up for that. i'm the co-owner of the new wheel electric bike shop. we opened this store in 2012 and the new wheel sells and services electric bikes. 11 people work here in san francisco and our store is about 2,000 square feet.
11:27 am
electric bikes are fantastic for transportation in the city, they're clean and green and you get places faster than any other form of transportation. it amplifies the power, it doesn't replace it. it makes it easier to get places by bicycle and it's so enjoyable and environmentally friendly way to go and more convenient in san francisco. >> clean power sf requires two products, green, 40% renewable and competitively priced with pg and e. for those who want to fight climate change more, 100% renewable at $0.02 per kilawatt. >> i decided to go with the super greens, after finding it
11:28 am
only to cost about $5 more a month to have super green, that's a no-brainer, i can do that. >> we were pleased that clean power sf offers the super green 100% for commercial entities like ours and residents for the city of san francisco. we were pleased with the package of services for linkedin and now encouraging our employees who have a residence in san francisco to sign on as well. >> clean power sf buys its power from renewable plants that feed the energy directly into the grid. >> there's a commitment to sustainability throughout the entire organization and this clean power opportunity reflects that. >> one of the wind farms we use is the shilo wind farm and that is large enough to be able to provide energy for up to 200,000
11:29 am
homes. >> our mission is sustainability, even though our bikes are minimal energy use, it still matters where the energy comes from and part of our mission in sustainability is how we run everything -- run our business. having the lights come on with clean energy is very important. >> the sunset reservoir has solar panels that take up about four city blocks covering the reservoir and the solar power generates energy for city resources and clean power sf for residents participating in the program. >> it was easy to sign up for the program, i went online to cleanpowersf.org and i started getting pieces in the mail letting me know i was going to be switched over and it just happened. when i pay my bill, i still go to pg and e and i don't see any difference between now and a
11:30 am
year ago. >> sign up online, just have your account number ready and it takes about two minutes and there's nothing to install. no lines are getting connected to your home. all the power goes through the existed power grid. >> we haven't had any problems with the switch over to clean power. >> it's super easy to sign up. our book keeper signed up online, it took about 15 minutes. nothing changed but now we have cleaner energy. >> we see clean power sf as a key strategy to meet renewable energy goal, we have a goal of 50% renewable energy by 2020. currently we have enrolled about 86,000 customers across the city. about 20% of what we hope to serve in the future and in the next two years we'll offer service to all san francisco electricity customers. >> an easy way to align your
11:31 am
environmental responsibilities and goals around climate change and it's so easy that it's hard to not want to do it and it doesn't really add anything to the bill. >> joining clean power sf is one of the easiest ways to fight climate change, receiving cleaner energy at low and stable rates, you're helping to support a not for profit that helps influence the energy grid and produce more production. >> i would encourage any business to seriously convert to the clean sf service. it's good for environment, business and the community. >> you can sign up online our call and the great thing is, you'll have the peace of mind that you're doing your part in your household to help the environment. ♪ ♪
11:32 am
testimony. good morning. we're going to begin our program. and as always, remember that we're in the presence of god. first of all, my name is sister mary kiefer, i'm the vice president for mission integration for st. mary's medical center and the bay area center of dignity health. i'd like to welcome all of you today. in my world i would say this is the day the lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad because
11:33 am
it took a lot of work to get to this point. and great blessings to the partnerships with the city and county of san francisco and ucsf. as is our practice, we step back from the busyness of the day and tap into our spiritual side. it's my pleasure to offer this dedication to you. as we bless that ground, we stand at the sacred intersection meet grace and humanity. as we bless that ground, we set it apart for the special purpose of healing body, mind and spirit. may the architect of our lives bless those whose vision has brought us to this moment. bless those who gave form to the dream, who honed plans and laid
11:34 am
a firm foundation. bless this ground that gives of itself to support the center of healing. may this building live lightly on this earth, using resources sparingly and respectfully. bless those who have constructed this space. may they know that they are healers. may the jobs created by this project sustain families who call this city their home. bless future generations who will come here to work that all might experience meaning and purpose in their labor. cement the past and future with the present that we may be of one accord in our partnership. and bless these rooms, that they may be strong enough to hold a client's pain and pourous enough to allow our own humanity to
11:35 am
seep through our sterile processes. may it pulsate with our good deeds and flow with justice and compassion for all who seek healing within its walls. amen. now, it's my pleasure to ask mayor mark farrell to continue on. thank you. [applause] thank you, sister. thank you. it is an honor to be here this morning to celebrate the opening of our healing center here at st. mary's. mental illness is one of the biggest issues facing the city of san francisco right now. it is evident on the streets and reflected in the homeless population, but it is also happening behind closed doors. today, represents a huge step in the right direction with the what the city is doing to work and solve those issues. mental illness encompasses so many things, conservativeship is
11:36 am
not the only solution. we do so much here in the san francisco. those with challenges need our help as a city. we have worked over the years and partnership with mayor lee and his team, first we passed laura's law a number of years ago here in the san francisco with the help of barbara garcia. we have a place where they can go and receive the help they need. but conservatorship is a huge part of the solution and today's celebration is a huge step forward for the san francisco. we are doing things like opening up new beds and places for people to go when they need to come off the streets. we're partnering with other groups and people in sacramento like senator weiner.
11:37 am
also, the integrated agency team where we focus as a city, multiple different departments under the 40 most people on our streets, those are the frequent flyers through our health system, our ambulances and police and fire departments, through our hospitals. and other services. the to make sure they get the care they need, but also that we work together as a city so we can conserve those that need our help. let's not lose focus. this is about getting the people on the streets the help they need. so they can get on their own two feet and onto better lives. i'm honored to be here today. this is a celebration and it takes so many people to come together and there are so many people to thank here today. first of all, i do want to thank our late mayor ed lee. it was his vision and his pushing last year to put the $5 million into the city budget and it was his really vision to make today happen. and we celebrate today in his
11:38 am
honor. i believe that in honoring that commitment, we will continue to fund this in our city budget moving forward for the next few years as well. i do want to thank barbara garcia and the department of public health, there are so many things that under her leadership have done to get today ready and to make it happen. least of all, not least of all, is the fact that within eight months this center is open. and anybody here who is familiar with government regulations, that this center was opened within eight months is a miracle. [cheering] [applause] so a huge credit to our department of public health under barbara's leadership for making that happen. i want to thank our two partners. lloyd dean from dignity. thank you for your partnership. this is a dignity hospital, we're very proud to be here today to celebrate.
11:39 am
mark lair from ucsf, your support. president breed, a leader on the issue as well on the board of supervisors. this has been a collaborative effort. we would not be here today without everybody standing behind me, but we would not be here without the vision of ed lee. i'm honored to be here today. let's make no mistake. this is one step in the right direction in solving mental illness here in san francisco and work canning hard to get people off the streets, but let me introduce the woman had made it happen, barbara garcia. [applause] good morning, everyone. barbara garcia, but behind me is the incredible staff. behind me are people who did the heavy lifting. this is such an incredible part of over 115 beds that the department has opened up in the last year. so this is a really important
11:40 am
program because it does have the highest level of care next to an acute hospital. but it also has the opportunity to provide people with intensive care services to help them heal. that's why this is called the healing center. we do that also from a recovery model and from a peer-based model. today, you will meet a lot of staff here. i got the honor to meet them. they went through 80-hour life training, actually, because they not only have lived experience, but have family members. anyone in here could probably raise their hand if i asked do you have a family member suffering from mental illness or addiction and many of us would say yes. this center is really a focal point for the department, but we also have other levels of care that are more voluntary. people can walk into this. this is a little different, people are mandated to be here, but they have the right every 30 days to determine whether or not to continue here.
11:41 am
but let me tell you, if you walked in here, i think you would be welcome to know you will have an opportunity here to be loved and supported to your recovery of our chronic disease. that's one of the areas we're trying to get people understand. mental illness and addiction is a chronic disease. i hope this reflects the love and support we want to give our community members. eight months is an incredible force. they say government happens in two times, lightning time and glacier time. i think it's so important we get services off the ground. we could not have done it without the partnership we have. $3 million of renovation in this building. we couldn't have done it ourselves. so dignity had the area that we are in today, so let's give them a round of applause. [applause]
11:42 am
sometimes hospitals, we think of hospitals as acute services, but today we can think of hospitals as multiservice levels of care and that's the direction of hospitals as well. then you have the issue of renovation and partnerships and they've been a great partner, 150 years affiliation, and then you have the fact that we want to share and be able -- there is a great need at the medical center as well, so we have a partnership. uc has allowed us a million dollars for renovation. we're appreciative of that as well. [applause] the department provides many services on its own. but to have a community-based organization with the kind of outstanding experience of crestwood behavioral health services is incredible and we're fortunate to have them.
11:43 am
patty, who you'll meet, said we're going to do this and do it in this time period, i followed right behind her. i walked her walk. and i have to tell thaw it's been an incredible process. we had to take on the state department of health. they wanted this to have cement floors here, because they thought this was a prison, so we taught the state as well for those who have mental illness. i don't want to underestimate the addiction, we see these as separate as well, this is a program not only going to deal with mental illness, but addiction needs as well. so with that, i just want to thank everyone for all of the work that all of us have done. i want to acknowledge a particular person on my staff who i follow very closely, she's about my height. you can guess, that is kelly. i want to give her a hand. [applause]
11:44 am
she does incredible work every day, taking people from the hospital, taking people from the streets and putting them into the right level of care. and sometimes, folks, we don't have the right levels of care and we have to create those. this is one of those. i'm sure you're going to enjoy the day today as you walk through this beautiful facility. thank you very much. >> good morning. this is a special day, special day for the city and county in a very -- and a very special day for all of us at dignity health. i want to thank all of you for joining us for this momentous occasion. just a quick story. i have a granddaughter that is 5. i try to call her in the mornings before she goes off to school, and she always asks me what is it that i'm going to do today? and she says, papa, what are you doing today? it was hard to explain our
11:45 am
gathering here, so i said we're going to be dedicating a new place, a new home that will help serve and take care of people with mental illness and mental challenges. and she said, well, are you going to be staying there? [laughter] and i'm thinking even at 5, she knows something that i don't know. but i would tell you, this is a beautiful, beautiful facility and truly together with all of the partners and certainly barbara and all of the support from the board of supervisors, from the mayor, and so many people that i can't take the time to list. this will change and begin to
11:46 am
change san francisco. so i want to thank you for joining us, thank all of you for being here. it has truly been an honor for us to work with barbara, to work with the city, the county, and to continue on our quest here at st. mary's to impact and change health care in this city in a way that allows us to serve the most needy and the most vulnerable. as has been said, all of you know, mental illness is one of the most vexing, complicated and critical challenges, not just facing us here, but facing our nation. but we, together, here are doing something about it.
11:47 am
i will never forget the call, because i got so many of those calls, from the late mayor ed lee. and when he calls, you take his call. and he said, lloyd, and i said yes and he said i need your help. when he says that, it's not just i want to have a consultation with you. but he explained what he wanted to do and he said, i need partners and you have been there before, and i need you to step up now. so this collaboration is a significant health capability that through partnerships we are together about to present to this city. and i just want to recognize and thank the incredible work of the
11:48 am
hospital council and the city's emergency department physicians for helping us identify, not just the need, but the specifics of the issues and for pulling us all together to stand here today to do something that i think history will show was one of the significant events in the journey of this great city. thank you. [applause] >> thank you, i'm mark laird, president and c.e.o. of ucsf health. sister mary, as you were speaking, all i could think of, i believe it was st. augustine who said, spread the gospel and if necessary, use words.
11:49 am
>> st. francis? >> ok. i knew i shouldn't be wading into this territory at st. mary's [laughter]. >> one of those things. >> it was one of the saints, thank you. st. francis, medical center, it all comes together. but i think the point of this is this is not just talking about doing something about mental health, this is doing it. and i am so proud of our affiliation at ucsf with the city, mayor lee, who was a special man, mayor farrell, potentially future mayor breed, all the people in the city who have really helped us move forward and make something important happen. but i do want to spend a moment talking about dignity health, what an amazing organization it is under lloyd's leadership, the team at dignity health is spectacular. always focused on doing what is best for the community.
11:50 am
and at ucsf, we believe that's our calling, putting the needs of the community first and trying to address those in every possible way. as barbara garcia said, we've enjoyed a fantastic 150 and we weren't there in the beginning -- >> no, we were not. >> close. 150 year membership that is the envy of the medical centers across this nation and we want to build on. i want to acknowledge one special person, so many special people, dr. jackson, who is our doctor for behavioral health services. when she came to ucsf she asked a lot of questions. what are we doing in the community? and the answers were not enough. with the partnership with dignity and crestwood and the
11:51 am
city, we feel like we're really on the cusp of doing something important. i want to say thank you to everyone who worked on this. we will be there supporting all the way. thank you. [applause] >> thank you. i'm patty blum, i'm not the c.e.o. just saying. i also -- [laughter] -- i have been with crestwood for 37 years. as a provider of health care services and psychologist i came to this field because my heart drew me here because i'm a family member. and i live each and every day looking to do what we do better and looking to serve more people. and looking to fully engage in every single way that we can to increase hope and love and
11:52 am
gratitude. each one of us, each employee we have and each person we serve, each community member we run into. so we have a saying that we stole from the consumer movement, nothing about us without us. so i'm speaking up, i'm going to grab our newest director of education. come on up, deanne. deanne robinson. [applause] we as an organization put the people who we serve first and foremost every single day as every good health provider does and we could not have found better partners in ucsf. and we've been partnering with san francisco since 1976, providing services for san franciscan s. and we're here today. this is a long hard-fought
11:53 am
battle. without a doubt, barbara garcia, our late mayor, this would not have happened and with the tenaciousness of mauja, rita, john alan, this is a partnership that took every person. as recently as saturday morning, 7:30 a.m., conference call with the c.e.o. of st. marys. i'm going to let deanne talk. >> hi, i'm deanne robinson, i want to say thank you everyone for being here today. this is really important and special to me because i am a person who has received services for substance abuse and mental health. i just want to tell crestwood thank you quickly recognize and
11:55 am
months, literally, several of us, mauja and i, had not walked on the campus before march 10th of last year. and we moved mountains with an incredible organization, who serves the state of california very well. with rigidity. >> nice to put it that way. [laughter]. >> so we have honored them as well and have plaques that are going to them. but i've asked our local administrator -- the first one is for mauja and each one of these is for your fearless commitment and compassion to the people of san francisco. [applause] >> support rita.
11:56 am
this is for rita. [applause] for barbara garcia. [applause] for our mayor mark farrell. [applause] for kelly. [applause] for john alan who absolutely i think was very, very new and green. and this would never have happened without his commitment. [applause] to george, the actual c.e.o. and president of crestwood behavior. [applause] this would not happen with his -- and to janet, who is our
11:57 am
incredible director of initiatives, education and some people call her a designer, but clearly she is not, she's the brilliance behind the environment and we have been recognizing the environment twice in the past six years by samsa for therapeutic environment that is trauma informed. so to janet. [applause] and this is for the late mayor, this would never have happened without his commitment, belief and tenacity, to the people of san francisco. [applause]
