>> we're meeting on monday with the chief and barbara garcia. we hope -- we are asking for a feasibility study. we would hope within the next six months to be able to have something agree to pawn and up and going. supervisor campos: thank you very much. supervisor mirkarimi: you did not mention the chief in this case on juvenile probation. wouldn't that also be a likely partner? >> adult probation has the mandate to do this. that is why we were looking at adult probation. supervisor mirkarimi: i am a little concerned. everything is ready to hit the city and county of san francisco. what will adult probation have to brace itself for? without funding, it is that much more of an expectation of the department. the water mains could breach the four -- the dam. thank you. >> thank you for your support. supervisor mirkarimi: next, please? >> i wanted to introduce paty, one of our community advocates. she will speak about the work in child abuse prevention. >> thank you very much. i am not a professional. i've worked in san francisco. i have the good fo

you said you were going to cut the budget, i urge you to talk with barbara garcia. supervisors, i don't have money to spoil any one of you. i cannot give you a limousine or taxi. i want you to have courage to go two blocks from here. hospitality house is not far. if you go there, you'd be ashamed. i used to be there 10 years ago. i am here to survive with my heart disease. and give some barbara garcia only five minutes for each one of you can see in the issues that she has. thank you and never be ashamed of yourself. wake up, smell the coffee. [applause] >> next speaker please. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i am here on behalf of central city collaborative. we don't have the budget cut this year and i would like to thank you for that. i'm here on behalf of the other people that have their budgets being cut like hospitality house. these are services that the community greatly needs. thank you for your time. [applause] >> to want to reiterate that we have a role in the board chamber and i asked you to respect that. >> walter. [singing] at the cope with a bayonet, we

i recently wrote a letter to our public health director, barbara garcia, expressing some concern around the proposal that had been submitted by the mayor's office. we were very pleased that so much work has gone into it. i have yet to meet any person who is not against -- who is not for having a viable st. luke's. the question is how do you ensure that liability? my question is specifically, will you support my request of cpmc, that to ensure the viability of that hospital, that they actually take the step of locating a specialty service. we gave the example of orthopedics. a specialty service that going forward insures the viability of that campus by essentially changing something that is not there right now, which is having apayer that makes the hospital viable. -- having a payer that makes the hospital liable? >mayor lee: thank you for that question. i want to thank you for your attention in making that health- care readings get the benefits to the people of san francisco. i believe we serve the same goal, to serve the long-term viability of st. luke's hospital. we have had several d

we are working with the probation chief and with barbara garcia. we have a meeting with them on monday and we hope to be able to report back to you on where we are going with this one recommendation. the next implementation we will be looking at was that a. -- data. dispatchers would call any call they got as domestic violence. we thought more code should be created for child abuse and elder abuse. we have three new coats for child abuse. assault, aggravated assault, and well being checked. now police know if they're going to see a child. next year, we will be able to tell you more accurately what the child abuse dispatchers are dealing with. we train them every year and they are dedicated people that want to be able to do this. the third recommendation is the one i wanted to spend a little more time on. we were given the job of creating a child advocacy center in san francisco by the public partners we work with. we have had an interview center in the basement for a long time. it is where we interview all children. we do one forensic interview and

thank you. >> barbara garcia, department of public health. we are one of the largest general fund organizations. one of the opportunities we have is the ability to create revenue. 2/3 of the $400 million we have we can create revenue to that account, leveraging those dollars. i know it to meet this target, which for the department is $69.6 million, we tried to look at revenues, and we have been able to come up with almost $56 million of revenue. so we are left with about a $13 million cut. we then drove down to all the general fund that we have that we do not leverage other dollars with, and those are just pure general fund. from that, we were able to cut $13 million in order to meet the budget. $4.3 million will be cut out of outpatient programs. the department over the last several years has had stakeholder meetings with all of our ceo's because part of -- with all of our cbo's because part of our service is to our community-based organizations. the cuts will be about $4 million to outpatient programs, and in the only non-matched general fu

from the department of public works and barbara garcia from the department of public housing. i am new at this just like everyone else. sorry for making those mistakes. even though all of you can't speak tonight because of the limited time, it is important that we remember the example that i can think of in recent memory with the community came together to change how the cpmc was going. and i think this is the first step in the community engagement, you have the voices to make those changes. [applause] >> in the last couple of weeks, supervisor kim's office has been holding meetings. a lot of the meetings are city- wide. if you live in a different neighborhood, it might resonate with you. there will be the committee open mike. if you would like to speak, there will be people walking around the audience. waved them down and let them out of you would like to fill one of those out. the open mic time will be short. there are differing viewpoints a different priorities to how people feel the budget should be allocated. we are here to work together. when someone is speaking, do not

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 come but they realize that they constantly have security needs and one staff needs help, they have to call the sheriff's department or the police department anyway. also as san francisco general hospital, there is a methadone cl

we have a brand new health director, barbara garcia. she is one of the most capable, knowledgeable people in that field that we can possibly have made a director. she is well known in the behavioral health community. she managed behavioral health over these past years. she manages, before becoming health director, mental health substance abuse programs. she was the individual working with all of the patient flow issues between our acute hospitals and the placements. she works closely with all the community-based providers. i think you will see a different perspective, a different focus and a different set of ideas coming out of the health department as time goes on. it is clearly a very large problem. it's a problem that had its origin in the reagan administration, when the state hospitals were closed and when most of the responsibility for this was sort of delegated down to the counties. it is clearly a big problem for san francisco. we work very hard to manage it. we still provide more mental health services than any other county in t

from the department of public health, our director, barbara garcia, i would like to personally acknowledge you in conjunction with the amazing staff at san francisco general hospital. i know today we have you sitting with us because you are definitely a part of our family and that is the ceo of general hospital sue curren and doctor andre campbell who is is the trauma surgeon. as well as three nursing supervisors that were so helpful during a difficult time last week. terry and tony, and patio conner thank you have the bottom of our hearts. i personally witnessed all of you doing the best you could fighting valiantly to save tony and vincent's life and we're truly grateful for that. i could ask for everyone to applaud for the san francisco general hospital. [ applause ] [ applause ] to our san francisco fire commissioners, you have been a source of support to all of us. and we're at the hospital with this, constant calls and checking in. you are also part of our family, and you mean so much to us. i would like to introduce our current fire commission under the leadership of president andre

barbara ga garcia, our new health director, those of you who know barbara know her area of expertise is in community programs, behavioral health, substance abuse, primary care. she was responsible for all of fleems. as deputy director before she took the position. there's no one who knows more than this than barbara. i don't think there's anyone more respected than barbara on this topic. she and many of us in the department have been working closely with the mayor and our community partners around, trying to find the least harmful way to -- if we ultimately have to make cuts, try to do it in the least harmful way possible. still, i think the -- the total of $10 million of cuts in our budget that fall into community programs is something in the neighborhood of 2% of the total money we spend in that area. so we're spending in terms of the funding that go to community programs over $200 million a year and so -- we're looking at about a $10 million cut overall. so we really are trying to minimize that to the extent we request. >> is there anyone else that would like to respond to any oth
