i urge you to please not pull the cadets and sheriffs from laguna honda hospital. the hospital has provided the city with many, many dollars for the general fund for decade. the people, they have earned the right, or the security, the staff needs the security. this is a very high stress, multiproblem population and hope you will remember at the very least, please do not take all the sheriffs out. >> thank you. next speaker. >> the board, my name is alex hodson, a field representative from service employees international. i want to echo what many of my colleagues here have stated with regards to the proposal to contract out security forces at our san francisco hospitals. i just want to reiterate that private visitation will not provide the quality or level of security the public deserves at the city at san francisco general and laguna honda hospital. we have a robust civil service system that we should use. look at the classifications we have already available to us and work together to find solutions to save money at the same time provide excellent services and mai

i am currently assigned to laguna honda hospital. i did 20 years with my initial experience at san francisco general. i was also employed a various mental health clinics. one of the recent things i wanted to discuss was barbara garcia and on the dph website, she says as she stated to the staff that there would be a specialized security force to replace the i.p. she made the point that they were going to be unique and different. i do not know how they can be more unique or different than the institutional police. private security will not provide the same type of experience. the company had believe she is referring to, they work at highland hospital right now. the only specialty they have is they probably work at more hospitals, but that does not necessarily mean they have more experience. bair just -- they are just fortunate. in santa clara valley medical center, they recently contracted with the sheriff filled apartment because the one of law enforcement tool -- law- enforcement to augment security their. their understanding was com

the expansion of supportive housing at laguna honda and it is an ongoing commitment we have that will be continued until the court settlement and we are doing 10 housing offsite on the yearly basis. in that same conversation with laguna honda, i want to inform supervisors after 15 years the department of justice has terminated the oversight due to the work including the expanded housing role that we have played and we're very happy about that and it continues to look and integrate them to insure that the individuals that are there are at the right placement. as well as you know we built a new facility and the debt service costs and the principal and interest on that debt and match the revenue. health care reform will be one of the greatest challenges for the future and changes in state and federal funding will provide more assistance with coverage and will go from a disability status to an income status and anticipate 36,000 will be eligible for medical and will increase the revenue in the future, particularly the individuals serving now in the programs where we're not able to match t

back 48 deputy sheriffs who are currently assigned to doing security work at general hospital, laguna honda hospital, and the court clinics -- the hospital clinics, excuse me. our budget is predicated on us receiving those 48 people that who would then be fed into the overall operation system. we needed additional people, although we are not scheduled to, we would either do hiring or have to use overtime. supervisor chu: the 48 individuals would be the staff partially used for the opening of the small jail? >> that is correct. supervisor chu: thank you. supervisor mirkarimi: thank you. good afternoon. the numerical difference in terms of projected realignment -- you did not mention anything about programs inside the jail's and how they might also be implicated in the need to attend to a larger population, so i wonder if you could speak to that a little bit. >> we did build in an increase in our programming capacity that would replicate the distribution of programs we have currently throughout the jail system. supervisor mirkarimi: so it would be a corresponding match based on the proportion

program manager for the laguna honda hospital replacement program. you have a resolution requesting approval for the modification of the services agreement. our last modification provided for services through the anticipated completion of the new buildings at laguna honda. these were substantially completed during 2010 and approved for occupancy by the office of statewide health, planning, and development in november 2010. the facility is now occupied since december. this modification now provides for services for the next phase of work, completion of the remodel of the wing of the existing facility. that remodel, which includes provision of seismic upgrades as well as electrical and mechanical and other improvements. this is anticipated -- this phase of the work is anticipated to be complete in 2012, whereupon the program will then undertake final site of fruit -- improvements and abatement and demolition of wings. i'm happy to answer any questions you may have. supervisor chu: thank you. mr. rose. >> as we point out on page four of our report under

supervisor mirkarimi: on the question the supervisor chu just mentioned on general hospital and laguna honda, i have been visited and others by seiu in trying to float an alternative proposal. we were not sure if there had been any discussion internally about an alternative proposal that continues to meet the need of providing for sworn officers at general hospital laguna honda while trying to save dollars, which is the goal. i do not know if there is any response to that. >> supervisor, the proposal, of course, is that of the department of public health. it is their budget, their facilities, and it is my understanding -- and i may not be 100% correct, but it is my and a standing the proposal is to retain the current ip officers and to presumably group them in one or two work sites and then to have a contractor provide the security services at primarily san francisco general hospital. that is the proposal i have heard. if you look at page 7 of the handout, which i have given you, you will see how we analyze or how i analyze financially whether the prop j is approved or not approve, and again

finally, the laguna honda hospital residents and visitors employee shuttle. this was a project connecting laguna honda hospital to the muni station and then adding new service to the glen park bart station. we did not recommended for funding because after funding higher priority projects and the bayview hunters point project, there are insufficient funds for this project. similar to the chavis bike parking facilities, we want to continue to work with partners to see how we can look at the regional pot of money. the last slide shows at the schedule of where we go from here. after we take it from this committee to the board of the and despite having a master funding agreement with the air district and a few weeks. then we work with grant sponsors in july. funding should be ready august 2011. with that, i can take questions on this project. thank you -- commissioner campos: thank you for your presentation. any questions? commissioner avalos: just a question on the first project, the emergency ride home program. the proposed amount is much less than the actual co

laguna honda, we did go there for a portion of the construction, but realized the cost of construction had risen above what was originally concentrated. we're working to fund a portion of this improvement. >> much of this is a timing issue, and i think part of what i want talk about the day is that this is the only jurisdiction that has to go to the voters for the revenue bonds. how helpful it be to have this ability and will ultimately be cheaper for us as a city, if we're want to talk about what kind of interest that we will pay on a police revenue bonds? >> and can use a little bit more? is there any other factor besides timing about when you go through this revenue route? >> on this slide, we have open public space and in response to your question, we have a debt policy. we itemize the conditions on these issues where we have success, that have been beneficial to us. and conditions from under which we issue -- >> i will talk about this to give you a breakdown, the certificate of participation in the portfolio. this is 26% of the portfolio. this requires we do the analysis that demo

we recently moved into a brand-new facility at laguna honda, state-of-the-art facility, thanks to the support of our voters here in san francisco. we're happy to have the support from all of you and from our city partners. thank you. >> thank you. >> good afternoon, everyone. i'm the captain of central police station. really i think the priority for me today is to listen to the group, like mayor lee said, it's important to get feedback. that's one of my priorities, the essence of community policing, when the community sets the priorities for the police department. on the issue of the budget, the priorities, i think, have to be how can we maintain public safety without reducing services. the department has been successful in this area in recent years, specifically in the area of working with less resources, 'cause we've strategically trimmed our overtime budget to the point where we're working very, very efficiently and crime is still going down over the last few years, especially violent crime. one of our priority is to maintain and continue to see decreases in that area. the other ar

we finished laguna honda hospital. we are now building a new police quarters in mission bay and renovating more than a dozen fire stations around the city. good news on the capital front. the other area of responsibility for the department of public works is the design, construction, repair, maintenance regulation of the public rights of way, namely the streets and sidewalks of the city. the picture is not as good. in terms of the capital side street resurfacing, the mayor and board in the last few years have made significant investments, but we do not have a sustainable source of revenue to continue improving the conditions of our streets. the capital planning committee approved in the proposed capital plan that went to the board and was approved a general obligation bond for this november, november 2011, to provide funding for us to reduce the backlog of street repairs. if that gets on to the ballot, look for that in november as a way that would help us address the street repair backlog, which the capital plan then r

you to avoid yet another lawsuit that will tie up city attorneys for years, as was the case with laguna honda. instead, take the time to do it right to postpone approval until the concerns raised by the planning commissioners, rent board commissioners, and countless parkmerced residents, housing and civil rights advocates are addressed. many who have testified before me are asking for further studies so that the controversial environmental impact report can be fully studied, not railroaded through. there's no need to rush. thousands of lives are at stake for your job as elected officials are to put their concerns first and also to follow the law. a generation ago, our nation's supreme court decided a crucial housing discrimination case that was brought by a parkmerced tenant. it is one of the most important fair housing cases ever decided by our supreme court. parkmerced tenants are prepared to go to court again. fair housing attorneys are prepared to represent them. supervisor mar: thank you. thank you. let's have the next speaker. thank you very much. next speaker? >> my name is laura trave

we want the staff and the patience @ san francisco general laguna honda to get the utmost care in safety provided for as well as the general public to visit. if there is a mechanism that recedes back from the contract thing on prop. j or finding middle ground, i would strongly encourage that be the case. >> we have all the same goals in terms of safety, so we would be happy to have that conversation. supervisor mirkarimi: as it relates to process, i'm not sure what was entertained. but you have a year's worth of discussion with the surest apartment and assurance department was simply complying -- the sheriff's department was simply complying with the department of public health -- from my characterization, managed retreats. it looks like a managed retreat from dph. i know there have been proposals put out there. i don't know how well those proposals have been vetted. the impression i have been given is that because there had been a decision to move forward on the decision on contracting out, that stops short of looking at anything else. >> i believe the controllers office should respond

after completing the programs, i was placed at laguna honda in november 2008, my first job. i am honored to be a successful citybuild graduate, as well as a san francisco resident. i really want to thank former mayor gavin newsom for putting together these city-funded programs for people like myself to the tent and successfully complete, and also be living proof that when you complete these types of programs, and when they are in the fact, you can get a job, you can work, and you can be a part of san francisco's redevelopment. i have been at san francisco handicap -- san francisco hospital. we had been doing handicapped ramps there. i am proud to also be a member of local 261. when i am out of work, it is only a short amount of time. in make sure they get me back up and running, as i need to be. i have four daughters that i am raising. being a single mother with four girls, having the ability to get successful employment is just wonderful for me. one of my goals is to be able to send my daughters off to college to be successful so that they can go to whatever employment fiel

both general hospital and laguna honda -- they are both government agencies, and they will both be liable. there is actually a great example, which is shortly after alameda county to a private security in 2004 -- there was a doctor that was murdered. this is with the private security when they first got there. the family sued, and they sued the city, and they won against the city. in 2007, the contract to begin to the private security company, which is supposedly the model they are using. in private security, the average turnover rate is between 100% and 300%. if there's a situation -- and this actually happens -- where you had a shooting in the bayview -- [bell rings] can i finish? supervisor chu: wrap up quickly. >> if you have a shooting in the bayview, and the friends and family come to the hospital and there is in retaliation shooting in the still more, and the friends and family come there, and a fight ensued, you need someone who can deal with that situation, and private security will not be able to. thank you. supervisor chu: thank you. next speaker please. >> i am and nurse at th
