we owe a particular debt of gratitude to the cna about keeping st. lukev's owetionv because it was cna who brought the whole issue of medical red lining to the front and made it impossible to ignore this issue by a campaign they started years ago on medical red lining just about the time when st. luke's first was taken over by sutter. ~ >> thank you very much. (applause) >> next speaker. >>> president chiu, board of supervisors, first thank you very much for all your hard work and forging this momentous agreement. my name is ken barnes and i have been a physician at st. luke's for 33 years and i was also a member of the blue ribbon panel and am also working with the coalition on health care housing, jobs and justice. i am extremely happy at the prospect of st. luke's being a larger hospital which should contribute to its long-term viability and its better ability to serve the community surrounding it, the hospital. as others have said, as a physician, i also am concerned regarding the lack of agreement with cma -- cna by cpmc. i work every day with t

i'm nothing as a nurse without the lvn or the cna or the social worker. i can't get the person in the door without the eligibility worker so it's important to understand that when we start doing things that impact one group of people it impacts everybody else, and eventually it impacts our public in a bad way. i lived in the fill more, the mo as the kids would say and i went to rosea parks and ben franklin and now a charter school and lowell and san francisco state. when i started san francisco state it was $78 semester and people could do it and the affordability is going off the cuts and these cuts are absolutely wrong. we have to look at why families are fleeing the city and this is a move in the wrong direction. we need to get to the right direction. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker please. >> hi. excuse me my voice. i have been talking a lot. i am brenda barrels and work at san francisco general, and all i want to say is over the years i have been a 30 year employee of the city and now i'm taking home what i made six years ago, so something is a

sandoval and i am also a registered nurse at the california campus and on the bargaining team for the cna. the nurses are happy that cpmc worked hard with the supervisors and mediator to hash out a deal which will serve the needs for san franciscans for generationses to come. they are especially delight today see that st. luke's will remain open and with more beds. however, we do not have labor peace yet. cpmc has reached agreement with a couple other unions, but not with the nurses. we are willing to do what it takes. in fact, we even brought our toothbrushes to bargaining last night, but cpmc didn't. so, we're going to continue to bring them and we hope that cpmc will bring their toothbrushes, too, so we can hash this out. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >>> hi, good afternoon. my name is dina hilliard and i just want to thank you all, thank the supervisors and the coalition and community groups and cpmc for helping us arrive at this point. i am a 13-year resident of the tenderloin and i will be giving birth at cpmc next month and, so, it is extremely important to me that the hos

second jobs and those that move out will get a job at a hospital closer to home and what a lot of cna's did and i will make the assignment amount than san francisco it's cheaper to work somewhere else. >> thank you. >> thank you. if there are no other members of the public who would like to comment we can close public comment. okay. public comment is closed with the gavel down. okay. i want to thank members of the public who were here to speak. i think there were at least a couple members i haven't seen before and spoken and one said i never come to the podium before want i think that shows what is at stake here for the people in the room. we are seeing a rise in the cost of living and even with the salaries that we have that the city says are well compensated don't meet what is out there in terms of the day to day expenses including rent and food and child care and all the other expenses that we have. i really feel that the city should live up to its standard it had in place decades ago that would say that we would actually provide pay equity for people in the classifications that are

also we want to encourage cpmc to continue to close the gap with cna and their negotiations with their contracts. i also want to mention one particular item i discussed with some members on the project team, and that's the management of the 4 million in work force funding. i think there is some additional conversation that should be had where the city manager should be using these funds or managed by independent organizations such as the san francisco foundation or a combination of both. district 10, we certainly have seen both models used. and as the term sheet is incorporated into the revised development agreement, i would appreciate it if we could continue to explore the benefits as well as the challenges associated with each of these approaches by managing the work force dollars. thank you. >> thank you, colleagues. any additional comments before we go to public comment? let me just add two quick thoughts from my end. i know there have been a couple questions that have been raised around work force development and one thing i might ask ken rich to do, potentially with rhonda simmon

agreement that we've come to and also just want to urge cpmc to finalize the contract with the nurses of cna. thanks. >> thank you. let me call up a couple more names to hopefully line up. james tracy, lawrence chung, manny flores already spoke i think. dr. eugene [speaker not understood]. jim lazarus, david canego, john grism, [speaker not understood], angie brown, richard [speaker not understood], and pastor jeffery garner. >>> good evening, president chiu, members of the board. thank you so much for this opportunity to speak in support of the much needed cpmc rebuild. my name is michael smith wick. i am aes are department of the western addition district 5. i've been a resident there for 33 years. ~ my, how time flies when you're having fun. i'm also the executive director of my tree compassionate care. my tree is located at the corner of noe and duboce in scott wiener's district and we are a 24-hour residential care facility for san franciscans with advanced aids, all low-income. we've been doing this for 26 years. we've served 1000 san franciscans. most of them lost their life under our
