the federal fiscal control board proposed by the u.s. congress would be staffed by individuals who do not represent puerto rico's interests. this federal fiscal control board will have only one task, ensuring the payment of a multibillion dollar debt at the expense of our people's quality of life, stated josie patoho, fem i.n.s. spokesperson. the preek company women's movement has sent a letter to many of our colleagues requesting that they vote against the current version of h.r. 5278 which impowers the fiscal control board to supersede and veto the decisions of publicly elected officials in puerto rico. and they go to list the caribbean institute of human rights, feminists and activists denounce that the imposition of such board represents a serious human rights violation against the people of puerto rico, expressed by the spokesperson of the collective. should h.r. 5278 pass in the senate, it will bring untold hardship to the most vulnerable sectors, the elderly, children, poor, women and the works class. with a poverty rate of 46%, wh

is there a question from the board? public comment? public speaker: good afternoon, commissioners, clarence vonsky, retired city employees. the only thing that i really have a question about because i do appreciate neal's explanation of where the $9 came from and how it's being calculated. i think we are missing the rates that have the medicare member plus the non-medicare member. as i recall we would usually have the more of the rates that included that balance with other non-medicare members because otherwise these rates, they are very good and we can see them, but we really don't know the impact on those members that have dependents that are non-medicare. it would have been nice to see that also since i think it would go with this presentation and not the one we have seen before. and later i will express to you my other concerns about the blue shield rate and how they deal with it. that's the only thing i'm looking for here. thank you very much. >> i will ask the actuary to please come forward and answer that question. >> yes, i woul

in the board denies the request for late jurisdiction the board will not on intersections deprived to rule on that question the reason we're here vigorously that judge jackson orders was clear if this is the issue and not the other issues the board has i think correctly decided so the questions that commissioner lazarus asked suggested perhaps the board not have the authority that's - >> what very, very contrary this matter. >> i'm asking about the set of circumstances to look at the permit if it comes back. >> it is obviously for another day in our view thank you. >> mr. collier you want to - we'll give you equal time. >> yes. thank you a few other points first of all, inform evidence any strategy plan on trying to - >> i mean i'm sorry this is sou sounding rebuttal. >> mr. saks argued that judge jackson we could seek jurisdiction before we still could he said and we sought that in our exhibit so he took a different position from the judge. >> i'm for public health department i'm not sure how are we commenting now. >> we are. >> i'll also punt we have litigations not fully implemente

and they have no oversight over the control board. either the governor nor the legislature can exercise any control, supervision, oversight but they get to pay the $370 million and they have to live with all the dictates of the control board, even though they don't have representation. and to further make sure that the control board is even more omnipotent, they put in a no liability clause. the oversight board, its members and its employees shall not be liable for my obligation or any claim against the oversight board or its members or employ employees or the territorial government resulting from actions taken to carry out this act. so they have absolute immunity. wow. wouldn't we all like to have that? so my amendment is targeted to improve the most egregious flaws of this legislation. my amendment would ensure that the people of puerto rico have a voice in their future. the current legislation denies the puerto rican people any, any representation on a board that effectively replaces the decision making powers of the legislative and

fundamental purpose of the board? is the fundamental purpose of the board to make sure that finances are straight or to make sure that there's a path forward in economic growth? i think to the extent the board should of people representing all those pretty used to be frank with you because those are complementary. otherwise 10 years from now we'll be revisiting the same problem because how do you get out of a negative zero of an economy that needs be, intended to sustain its ability to function as a productivity problem at a shrinking tax base that doesn't put the resources necessary to sustain? >> thank you. why don't we go one more round? >> one very tedious thing about the board in puerto rico is for the most part the politicians are against it, but when they poll the individuals, 70-80% of the people in puerto rico for it. because they are desperate. they don't see the politicians as solving the problems. they just talk about status of this and that instead of giving as you said administrative things, for example,

good afternoon members of the board and guess locally my name is mr. cohen we are a coalition of local san francisco affordable housing organizations that build affordable housing manage properties and provide advocacy. for the most part the position if you will comes from our coalition and the governor and assembly member bloom and the governor endor blooms bill but they put some serious policy on the board this year and it is some radical stuff and it is one-size-fits-all and is moving too quickly and it hasn't been designed well enough. there's 482 cities and 52 counties and it is a huge state and there's no one set of policies that play out the same in any city. if you lobby on behalf of the city which is only one of 482 we acid that be made clear. i think it's interesting to hear the supervisors that are here to say that the board of supervisors is the policy body for the city for both executive and legislative and that you folks are representing the policy body. it's nice to hear the opinion of other folks here are but they are not lobbying you. t

why is the board merely applying the mayor to his security detail cause when the board could and should be demanding that he return all salary and benefits and expenses paid to in between his official announcement candidacy for governor and a withdrawal. he suddenly felt each and every one of those days to apply his entire time and attention to the duties of the office and anything less than his entire time and attention is his entire failure to serve. he should also be great salary and benefits and expenses for each day he failed when asked to categorically denied that he would be a candidate for governor. he should rebate salary and benefits and expenses reached a of his expected service when he was so disengaged from contact with our beloved city and county that there was no officially designated acting mayor. i would also ask the board to rebate salary and benefits and expenses for themselves and for their staff for each day of debate on this matter either in committee or full board when no member raise the issue of a possible conflict with the charter. i'd like to thank every membe

if the board does not act by that date the general plan amendment is deemed to be passed. if the board adopts it within that 90-day period it is adopted and if the board rejects it in that 90-day period it's deemed rejected so my question in so far as we don't have a full compliment of supervisors today if there's a five five tie, is it deemed approved or is it deemed not approved? >> deputy city attorney. i'm trying to get some consensus in my office. the charter on this states that the commission shall recommended that the board approve or reject and if the board fails to act within 90 days the general plan amendment shall be deemed approved and as you discussed i'm looking back to see what our previous advice has been. can't answer that on the fly but i will have an answer. >> i suggest we come back to this item and skip over item number 9 until we get some advice from deputy city attorney and his office. >> supervisor campos? >> i don't understand why there would be a question about that. if you don't have a majority of the supervisors supporting or approving an item t

with regard to the impact when the influence of the board of supervisors on the mta board and the decisions of the mta, i would say first of all, i don't believe that i've ever heard in my nearly five-year tenure of the time when an mta board member was not responsive to a member of the board of supervisors were actions of the board of supervisors as a whole regardless of who nominated them to sit on the mta board.. i don't think that i have brought to my board for a decision any major project that has been opposed by a member of the board of supervisors in his district that project resided. it's been a principal of mine that us members of the board of supervisors are the elected representatives the people in your district and it would be not responsible of me to bring something to my board for their consideration that you oppose. so we worked very hard to work with your offices, even on objects that are very controversial and about that what i will say is that as we are striving to implement your-this bodies transit first policy, this bodies climate change policy and other policies of the

i would just like to make a friendly suggestion to the board. one of the topics should be "how to be your own advocate". like for instance sometimes certain medical test aren't provided for people and it can have a fatal result. i know a personal incidence of that. how to advocate, how to actually understand even though the diseases you may have, questions to ask the doctor. i think this should be interesting and i think this should be an on going aspect of the health fare. so people can real use this assistance to their advantage to get maximum medical care and especially important if you are retired. >> thank you very much for that suggestion. >> no others. we'll move to action item 10. >> >>clerk: action item 10. vote on whether to cancel july 2016 health services board meeting. >> we have in the past canceled this meeting because board of supervisors is on vacation. we will be meeting. the board of supervisors isn't on vacation. they are doing the budget. >> i move we cancel the july meeting. >> is there a second . >> second. >> universally s

has the budget and the board will be looking at other things we want to commend fund and maybe things they don't want to fund and asking us for a lot of details for the positions we got into the budget and president some justification on those but looking at our vacant and all those things obviously they have interests in they're own district and interests in terms of the program oh, one other thing i didn't i neglected to mention the mayor put in a second deputy director for our department i'm personally excited but it is become really grown a lot a lot of work for one permanent to analyze so that's in our budget as well >> i think - the only thing i want to say two things one i was at the california's association of agencies our aging one of the things they're talking about this year is trying to enhance kind of the face of angling in california and there - we're going to be doing a media campaign california wide to put a positive face on angling and everywhere i go i'm conscious and i'm sure you are as well we see so many negative images of aging how bad it is to get odd old and gr

it just what we do here at the board of supervisors. and, i commend the department for-and all of city hall-forgetting us close to the 1971 number. we are not far away from the number because were actually now within striking distance of the next fiscal year to be will to choose 1971 and to me, that is significant can i think in the whole time i've been working at city hall we've only been there for a few months in 2009-2010. and we had a lot of retirements happened since then but we made a considerable effort over the years to make sure that we are at this place right now and so, as were hiring more officers were not in any to have as much overtime. i will than willing to roll the dice we can actually put a ceiling on it naturally to see the department and employee more effectively and more efficiently so that overtime won't be needed and we won't have to do a supplemental later on and hopefully, i will be in next year but i want to make sure that were setting up a high standard for lever is coming in to make decisions on what the overt

and the board this is a determined a b.a. will be offered for pe credit and 5 the physical fitness test shall be administrative code by law therefore, be it resolved that the board rescinds any previous reconsideration or provisions there in that conflicts with this jrotc policy and further be it resolved, it resends the provision that requires the jrotc structures to obtain certification for pe study with deadlines and limitations associated with this requirement and rescinds the previous provisions for the funding limits onion is jrotc program or compensation. >> so a number of public speakers (calling names). >> my name is richard owe he support an urge you commission to continue support the jrotc program that really served our country we're a democracy a republic and all you are elected by the people to do a job for hundred years you're doing a gob you support the jrotc i was drafted and sent offer to fort training at the first session our instructor asked anyone of us you know have jrotc training and one of the hawaiian g

currently as you know all 7 members of the board are in the mind by the mayor and conformed by the board of supervisors this chart amendment gives the mayor 4 nominees to this board to be subject to the board of supervisors confirmation from the board of supervisors - so we'll splitter the appointment for other divisions and also change the threshold of which the board of supervisors can reject the mta budget roadway it takes more than the majority of supervisors it takes 7 of the 11 and this proposal makes it set for the majority of board of supervisors to reject our proposal want to let you know the who chapters the board of supervisors has until the end of july to the ballot just wanted you to have those and we've worked closely with the mayor's office and also the board of supervisors on the chart amendment so we're happy to see that and excludes myself presentation. >> members of the public would you like to speak. >> can i talk about the masonic project i heard about the open house and i'm about 5 blocks or 6 blocks from that this was a pretty wide region and looking forward to thi

it's great to get the sell today and pelt like a sell but i want to know all the options and before the board and why is this the best value and not just told it's the best value option but i look forward to the continued conversation. i think there is a broader context with phase two that we need to acknowledge and not in today's presentation and i know it's an ongoing dialogue conversation. >> ed. >> yeah. i guess i would add for the reason the agency exists and the reason we're building the building and all the funding partners have put in some cases hundreds of millions of dollars and the city has puts it own balance sheet on the line to complete the phase one is to get the trains to downtown san francisco because i think everybody in the region recognizeslet importance of doing that the regional economy and accommodate the growth in the region so i think it's great and i appreciate the chair shifting the focus of the board now to phase two because that's the ultimate prize as great as phase one project is and i appreciate the staff work for the presentation. it was very comprehensive to
