these include working with dph and others to have proposals for subacute care in san francisco. this is a level of care by a patient that does not require the level of acute care but that he requires more care than the nursing is able to provide. no other facility provides this level of care. the second is to continue these efforts at all of the campuses. currently, st. luke's has the staff. integrating the staff will help insure that all patients regardless of insurance status have equal class -- equal access. third, continuing to actively participate in the partnership, the community benefits partnership is a coalition of dph, hospitals, clinics, and others that assess committee meet and assess resources to meet that need. they also shopping required to have secure services to hospital patients. and this includes the agreement where there are services to chinese hospital patients. this is culturally and linguistically appropriate services that are representative of the divorce population and thick with national standards. and i wanted to get back to you on the supreme court de

dph has set aside funding for other populations, including the african-american and latino communities, due to their representation in this epidemic. when taking account of population size, the americans are ranked third highest. we urge you not to repeat history and turn your back on our community. our lives matter. $129,000 would go a long way into funding critical services for our extremely vulnerable communities. thank you. supervisor chu: thank you. next speaker please. >> good morning. my name is david howell. i'm a client for the native americans aids prevention. i am here to tell you, i am a gay man, a long-term survivor. i went to so many agencies before i discovered nap, who did not have the services i needed. i would miss their confidence with staff and how they handled their clients, native american men with hiv, and they provide so many services. one of the most important ones in my opinion is, i do not know how many of you read the article in the chronicle about how depression affects longevity in overpopulation. it is certainly the same with people who have hiv. this age

ultimately, it would save money in terms of -- dph is facing serious issues, but the cost of the system elsewhere -- it would be much greater his people can access the vital services that people need. thank you. [applause] >> good evening, everyone. i am, -- for the elderly. thank you, mr. mayor for your local hiring policy so as to provide more opportunities for san francisco job seekers. thank you to be office of economic and workforce development for funding in the house in the academy. there is still something missing, however. we know the government-funded work force development for dislocated workers, low income, and youth. actually, a lot of it goes to the use. but where and what goes to the senior workforce? we on the seniors are the most reliable of force in the community. unfortunately, seniors are neglected in the allocation of workforce development funding. i want to urge the city officials to emphasize funding for senior workforce development, so that seniors can retain the dignity and maintain their health, physically and mentally, so that seniors can become self-reliant,

these include working with dph and other hospitals to develop proposals for subacute care in san francisco, which occurred about earlier. continuing efforts to integrate the medical staff of all of its campuses. continuing to active phillippe partner in the community partnership, a coalition of hospitals, clinics, dph, and others. there will continue to provide certain specialty services to chinese hospital patients in accordance with their agreement with chinese hospital. they will deliver culturally and linguistically appropriate services. supervisor mar: did you explain with the san francisco community benefits partnership is? >> a coalition of hospital, clinics, and other partners that came together several years ago under state law that requires nonprofit hospitals in san francisco -- in the state to conduct a community-needs assessment and develop community benefits plan to meet the needs of those communities. underlying that is the assumption that nonprofit hospitals have an obligation to serve the needs of the communities that they are in. under health reform, it is now federal law

. -- the dph to inspect this restaurant one more time. on that motion, president hwang. >> to grant a rehearing on the inspection that takes place prior to the actual hearing? all right. ok. aye. >> commissioner hillis, no. commissioner h -- hurtado, no. absent another motion, this rehearing request is denied. vice president fung: i would pose another addition that we continue this case and requests the department of public health do an inspection and then vote accordingly after that inspection. president hwang: i think it is too late for that. >> no. vice president fung: move for a continuance. >> 3 votes would be needed to continue this case. on that motion, -- president hwang: we need a date. do you want to hear from the department on how soon they can do that? >> we have that, too. i am not sure about the composition of this board. perhaps we can hear from mr. hong. president hwang: how quickly could you reinspect the restaurant? >> probably sometime next week. with my supervisor's permission. >> is there anything else, if you were to

one of the things that we have been talking with the dph is doing an assessment, a snapshot of everyone who stays in the shelter. i know that has come up about getting a health and that -- health assessment, about getting a better understanding of that population as well. with our shelters and those services, it is important to get a picture of the types of services that we actually need. we are happy to work on seeing if there is a way to expand some of that public health assessment that we can do. i am interested in the idea about pet ownership in the buildings. rebecca is the director of animal welfare and control. her favorite story was that there were able to adopt a pet from the animal shelter and it is the first time that he started leaving his sro regularly, to walk his pet. and allow him to integrate into the neighborhood. that is an important idea as well and we can also build resources there. i will mention a couple of other things. we are working on some senior floors. it is not just for seniors, but it impacts some older women living in the sro buildings. i said how physica

this is targeted to dph employees. we have a very diverse workforce. the certificate program to be, peer coaches. some of our doctors are learning it as we are moving into technology. we're looking at a development of working with young people who are much more tech savvy to come into the department to support our professionals to help them come to a skill level in our technology area. we will be looking at working with economic work development and trying to support them. we have an extensive language access program, as you can imagine. in san francisco general hospital, we have on-site interpreters with the capabilities of 10 languages. we have the ability to support over 100 languages to our language service. language requirements for staff and primary care clinics, we have dedicated chinese, spanish- speaking neighborhoods for we also had interpreters. at san francisco general hospital, we are providing services to approximately 140,000 people. this was the number request. we are looking at the technology. it will provide video interpretation too m

we will work with other agencies such as dph. we already work with these agencies. some of these cases you may know about are those like to our car wash -- tower car wash, where we went after them for there longstanding business practices that denied a full and fair wage to there employees -- their employees. i anticipate that by dedicating one attorney and one legal assistant to coordinate this effort will result in better communication, better use of city resources, and my hope is this small investment will have brought in additional penalties that will fund and expand the program, similar to what we have done with our existing resources in our code enforcement efforts through the last five fiscal years. i just come back to saying this, supervisors. we find what we do. i continue to be willing to do it. i think there is nothing but false savings if you cut those positions. that money is not going anywhere else. i can guarantee it will lead to accountability, because if i am wrong, which i don't think i am, i too will have the opportunity to judge me by the results

as you know, the mission of dph is to protect the health of all san franciscans. and we want to ensure that all san francisco residents have equal and safe and respect for the acts as to achieve what they need and drive off the mall access and health and wellness. we want to make this the easy choice so residents avoid hospitalization and cost the department use. we believe the proposed changes to the san francisco police code have the power to change access for all san franciscans, and particularly those who are vulnerable, such as seniors, persons with disabilities, young children and others. we believe the san francisco board can help to seek a per great care when needed. supervisor avalos: right now, an individual can place personal items on a sidewalk adjacent to the white zone. being able to do that through the placement of articles can prevent access. it can prevent members of the public from crossing the sidewalk. it can be particularly dangerous for some communities. seniors, individuals with disabilities, including individuals with mobility or vision imp

but i can definitely put them in touch with dph afterwards. >> yes, please do. thank you. >> -- commissioner moore: would you also please explain to those people who spoke, what is available for them if they have concerns about their location? so that once the antennas are installed, there is a way of giving them the personal benefit of other reviewers. >> after the installation of the antennas? commissioner moore: yes. >> there are conditional approvals tied to the project peripatetic -- the project. one of the conditions is that they have to have a liaison. they can contact the community liaison directly if they have concerns. >> perhaps let the at&t representative speak directly to what i'm referring to. >> @ eric mar wrenn by law, we have a 20 ft. by 20 ft. rule where we are required to come out and test residents within that distance. at&t has extended that to residents in the area that you can't -- that do have concerns. our representative will come out and test the premises. we're happy to take their information from the meeting. we're happy to do that. >

for the treatment services, is that a work order to dph? >> some of that money also goes to housing. what we have done, for those departments that provide a service, we allow them to utilize their expertise and bring the services to us. supervisor chu: we are not having your department creates a whole new program. we are using existing program resources? >> services that do not exist anywhere. the overarching in terms of the partnerships we have the committee assessment and service center. that is our primary focus. we are contacting with a local provider and we also partner with service providers, and asian neighborhoods designs comet job training, emergency stabilization, mental health services, substance abuse case management, hamilton, that is a grant that we have received from the federal government that is over $1.1 million. a learning center to bring education services to our client. we have also focused on training staff and motivational interviewing. that alone has the highest rate of recidivism reduction by 20% if staff interview

dpw, dph, and others to find new ways to address issues such as this while continuing the quest for 101 4th street -- for zero waste. this is the first six months of complaints for this year, and these are the 2011 complaint. about 1000 planes a year that we receive, either the website for our customer service center. supervisor olague: thank you. i would like to hear from regina who will speak to the small business impacts of the convenient zone mandate. >> good morning, supervisors. the state law requires the convenience is on be established, and this is a half mile radius of any supermarket with annual gross receipts of $2 million more. in the event that there is no recycling center or that the supermarket does not provide the means of buyback or redemption, then all businesses that sell crv products are required to buy back and provide reduction in their stores. so businesses do have an option if they do not want to do -- provide for in th-store redemption. they can be relieved of this obligation. it is about a total of 50 two thousand dollars a year. currently, san francisco has 53

whatever confidentiality restrictions exist, but i hope everyone from cpmc and the mayor's office and dph can understand that st. luke's remains open and a viable hospital, not to even know that can happen, so when do you anticipate that there will ever be adequate or complete information or if there is a renegotiation, when that will be presented. >> supervisor, i regret this. we only have had the information for a short while, and when we got it, our first action was to do that. we believe that the exact terms do not work anymore, and we need to negotiate them. we are doing that, and we expect to negotiate. we do not know the exact letter of it, but this will come out during the period of a hospital, which is the period of closest danger, which is when this is being discharged, that we would have this for a number of years, and that is what we are driving for. i think certainly, absolutely, before the next hearing of this board, and i think potentially before that, we would be able to brief you before that, but at the latest, the next time we are before you. >> this would still be based

. >> -- supervisor wiener: dph be an obvious choice, i was just curious. supervisor mar: thank you so much to president chiu, and all of the various urban farms and gardens that participated in this. i think that the seven overarching goals are important for the one-stop shop, july 1, 2013. the garden resource centers across the city are expanding efforts looking at surplus properties from different districts and places. by highlighting the different gardens and farms within the city. i know that the alliance has identified sites within each of our districts. i also know that the waiting list for the community garden in my district on 16th avenue near fulton has a huge waiting list. i think it is a good goal that residents seeking plots should not have to wait more than one year or access to apply their other efforts. i am appreciative that the president appreciates the advocates from the alliance that they have made for funding in the position and incorporating as much as possible from different stakeholder groups. i would love to be added as a co-author

i work for dph for 10 years. i represent the workers at laguna honda. a couple co-workers could not be here today. i believe they communicated with all of your offices, but we delivered hard copies to the clerk for you, and i hope you get a chance to review them because they illustrate that this document that the hospital put together for the program change request is not giving you the full picture. you simply cannot transfer calls to the nursing office and expect what they just described to happen. we know not only from the workers in the office that we represent, they do not have the equipment or the training. we had hoped to provide you today with a more comprehensive report demonstrating that, and include it in the papers we gave the clerk is our information request. hospital responded, said they would give us the information by may 25, and we have not received it, but i think their testimony, and the other written testimony that you have demonstrates that point. i hope that you see -- i would like to suggest that the amount of money the house bill

the agency also contributed to serve supported housing projects that are part of the dph, hsa, and mayor's office of housing pipeline. they are no longer able to do that. on the neighborhood-based economic development side -- these are all included in the mayor's budget. on the neighborhood-based economic development side, we included approximately $1.6 million in the first year, $1.5 million in the second year relate to work in the mid market, $3.7 million in the second year related to bayview, one in the second year. that difference is due to early funding of the southeast community health facility. approximately $100,000 related to visitation valley. have also included funding for the jobs readiness program. you can see included in the mayor's budget, in the first year, $30 million of general fund support for these programs. second year, $10 million. that is a significant general fund cost. supervisor chu: just to recap, when you talk about the tax increment allocated to enforce obligations, the redevelopment agency could have asked for a higher version for the redevelopment agency but

we will partner with dph and the progress foundation to move patients from the hospital setting to recover in the community where it is most effective clinically and cost effectively. we have facilities at the california, st. luke's, and davies campuses. we will be decommissioned in our beds at the california and st. luke's campuses. after an extensive dialogue with the help commission and the committee, we have made a commitment to keep 100 beds in san francisco so that 80 or so, the patients coming out of our hospitals will have automatic placement. we also offer long-term care services to our patience today. we have a program at st. luke's. sub-acute patients are long-term care patients. they are usually with us for two or three years. many of them are in a persistent vegetative state. the blue ribbon panel recommendation is to transfer those patients to community based settings because these patients do not need to be in an acute care hospital. these are long-term care patients better served in the committee. now i will focus on the hospital services. today we serve about 1/3 of san fr

mental health consultants, and this money is work ordered over to dph. our new initiative is around inclusion. we really want to expand options for families that have children with special needs so they can be served in our community-based programs. this has a lot to do with helping families access and understand what inclusion is, and then lots of technical assistance and coaching for centers that have children either that they want included or are interested in, and then we are going to find two or three demonstration sites where we go very deeply into building inclusions. that includes on-site specialized services of occupational therapy and speech. so that is our new initiative. we are continuing to fund comprehensive screening of young children through the public health department. they are doing hearing, vision, nutrition, and -- there is one other. vision, hearing -- i cannot remember the last one, but they are doing screening. we are also finding development of screening and featuring the evidence-based practice, called ages in stages. that is ha
