and if ever exceeded there will be additional review by the dph commission? >> what i'm hearing from the budget analyst is that their audit recommend istion a 10% contingency. the public health commission itself has not acted to change its own policies or contingency policies to a 10% from a 12% level yet. but that the department plans to go back and review that policy with the health commission. and, so, what i would think is probably a better thing to do is allow for the same kind of language so that if the department actually exceeds what the health policies or the health commission's policy is on contingency, then they have to go back for approval. if the health department or the health commission policy should change to 10 considertion, then it should be at 10% level. so, i want to make sure we allow for the health commission to exercise sort of their jurisdiction over the health department's policy on contingency before we sort of say a different level. >> madam chair and supervisor avalos, we concur with what the chair just stated. that seems reasonabl

was that both from hsa and dph? >> yes, it was. the first project was the hotel essex and that was an hsa project. i would say at this point, i don't have it in front of me, but i would say about two-thirds of the units are dph units and one-third are hsa units. >> you say we created a funding stream for it, but basically we just took general fund dollars and call it local operating subsidy program dollars now. what was not funded? what were those dollars potentially used for before that? was that ga? hsa? and something else dph is trying to get background on the program itself. honestly, i don't know. with the overlay being this is a prudent use of -- preferable to emergency services and the costs in the best of all worlds would be the dollars -- the best all worlds would be emergency services dollars that were no longer used. i'm not sure if that is actually happening in the real world. >> so we might be able to describe some cost-savings by having a program that has the services where people live and actually yields greater cost

and we have two health inspectors specifically that work with sro buildings through dph. but i think that that feedback is good. we've gotten it from several groups we've worked with including the apartment association and we'll certainly continue that education work. so, thank you for that question. * >> any further discussion? colleagues, can we take this item same house same call? without objection, this ordinance is passed on the first read. to roll call. >> supervisor campos, you're first on roll call for introductions. >> thank you very much, madam clerk. colleagues, i'd like to begin with a piece of legislation that i'm introducing today. as you know, in order to legally operate a parking garage here in the city and county of san francisco, parking operators are required to get a certificate of authority from the treasurer and tax collector and obtain a bond that means the city has the exclusive beneficiary. that's something that we need to happen to protect the city. the bonding requirement is there for that very purpose to safeguard the city in case an operator f

if [tkp*-r/] dph gave training in eradation, they would have shared the education. now is the time for some real legislation. thank you. >> i have one more speaker card, brenda washington and if you would like to speak, please line up behind miss washington. mr. james, i already called your name. >> hello rules committee. i just have something small to say. my name is walter jameses and i'm from the central city sro collaborative. to me it's important because i guess the disclosure and treatment reporting, i think the main thing, i guess, what this would do is push forward more the research effect. so for me to point out to the people that don't have bed bugs, i have been living at the mission hotel for eight years. i want to point out to you, when i first lived i remember getting bed bugs and after being there for eight years, had sores and i would say how did that happen? they are so small, they are so small that they go in one sore and come back on the same sore, but you don't notice it. now i have been there eight years, it's on my legs and you can see gaping ho

. >> dph. we have been working with this agency, the executive director of api and also the mta, to figure out what's the best way to move the scope of this project further either integrating it into mt's existing old program curriculum and outreach, or whether there needs to be a stand alone project. we're also in communication with dph on this issue. we're trying to figure out what's the best way to move this project forward. >> okay, good, i'm glad to hear [speaker not understood]. i'm under the impression apri has reached out to dpw to work as co-sponsors on this particular project. so, my next question is in terms of the timeline, when will apri or dpw have to make a decision and approve their new project proposal to you? >> it would need to be as soon as possible. the abag program is geared towards capital projects and this is more of an operation-based project so that even aside from the sponsorship issue, there are other things that we're trying to address in the application. but we wou

to be permanently supportive housing and a public clinic space for dph. i know to speaking to the staff at tom waddell, they have been looking for a space that is more conducive and welcoming to our most vulnerable residents and patients and think it's greater that they have a welcoming site right in the heart of tenderloin at the y. i had an opportunity to go on a tour with don flak so i'm happy to move this forward with a motion to approve and also as a committee report. >> we could take that without objection. also before we actually i gavel down, i would like to get a tour of the site to work that in the next month or so. it would be great and i know it's a great milestone for our city that this project is coming to fruition. so we'll approve that. send it forward as a committee report with recommendation.

as i mentioned earlier, dph is a part of this, all members that have been involved in this have been given the opportunity to engage in health services through dph the da works with the victims that need any type of victim services specifically whether they want to relocate or they need any type of assistance in general. then the crn works with the individuals impacted by street violence. they really try to target now deliberately anyone that is part of a homicide that might be gang involved or if there's further retaliation. now they are at the table really dialogues with sfpd, dph and all the cbo's to figure out how they can de-escalate the violence. in terms of exchanging information, of course in a confidential way, but there's definitely a more structured way to share information. i want to pause real quick and emfa zultz for the family piece, i would say that family, really really focusing on families as part of our treatment plans now because most often it's those fathers, it's the grandmothers, it's the girlfriends that really try to work closely with us and that actually con

owners and pest control operators regarding the prevention and treatment of bedbug infestations. 2, dph to develop a training curriculum on bedbug abatement. 3, owners to respond to bedbug infestation complaints. 4, property owners to disclose bedbug infestation history for the previous two years. 5, the department of public health to collect and publish bedbug data on a quarterly basis. 6, establishing enforcement procedures and 7, making environmental findings. >> thank you. colleagues, one of the first thing issues did when i joined the board of supervisors was to call a hearing on bedbugs in the city and county of san francisco. prior to that hearing actually a group of many of our residents from neighborhoods, chinatown and south of market and the tenderloin had been convening meetings fore over a year to discuss what we could do about the citywide epidemic that has been plaguing our neighborhoods. through the work group this legislation came forwards a series of recommendations on what we could do to better abate bedbugs and the bedbug abatement issue here in san francisco. this l

the documentation in front of you, the revision that dph so graciously did. by implementing this legislation, and by dph enacting this revision of the rules and regulations, we are at the forefront of the fight on bed bugs, which is appropriate. since we are also america's no. 1 tourist city. we never want this place to be known as a bed bug haven. so by doing the work that you are doing, you are going to combat that. i would say this is one of the best things that can you do for the city. thank you. >> thank you, mr. ray and thank you for all of your work on this. any other public speakers on this item? please do line up. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i'm sahara shourd the director of the housing rights committee and we're members of bed bug working group. i wanted to applaud your effort, supervisor kim it was a community-based project that included tenant rights groups and property owners, the department of public health and so as a model of how legislation can be created, i think it was a great process. we at housing rights committee as you heard richard

at the dph director hearing on november 12th, the order was upheld by the officer, i am happy to hear that they bought a device that helps. it sounds like they bought a device that would help from now on in making sure that the identification matches the age before they sell the cigarettes that is the system that they purchased that helps a lot. and that is indeed what they did. >> and if you have any questions? >> >> thank you, is there any public comment? >> seeing, none, do you have anything further? >> no? >> okay. and anything further from the department? no. okay. commissioners. >> i have a question for the department or the appellant. >> the location of your business is what is the actual street location? >> could you stand up in >> erving and the cross street in >> 42nd avenue. >> is there any schools in the vicinity? >> no. >> well not close to two blocks. >> do you get the students coming in from the schools nearby? >> not really. thank you. >> i guess that it is... you know, we understand the law and the law has been there for quite a long time. and the question that we alw

management coordinators from each of the hospitals throughout san francisco who mead regularly with dph and dem to plan and prepare for our medical response. >> as rob mentioned earlier, one of the primary reasons for the medical exchange is to get an understanding of the capabilities, what can the military bring and what are some of the challenges that we as civilians are going to face when we have this large number of casualties. so what i'd like to hear from our civilian panelists is what were some of our observations about the capabilities the military demonstrated down at moffatt >> i think one of the challenges the city faces in a big medical surge event is if patients have to be evacuated and the bridges were out and how would we do that? yesterday we saw a wide range of patient movement vehicles, basically, and it was great to see all those resources and be aware of them. we saw the dual use vehicle from the va that there was one in san francisco and there's one in palo alto and those can take litters of patients. we saw multiple helicopters and we saw the c130j all of those wer

and the other key piece is dph is an immediate back up to that with the ability to use our clinics and our other partners to stand up potentially alternate care centers and other types of, depeplding on the situation, other types of areas where people can be triaged or get information or get care if necessary. so those plans are in place, we're constantly developing them because we have to really look and we don't have the ability to predesignate every site, after an earthquake we need to make sure each and every site we announce to the public is safe before it's announced so it's a complex type of situation with constant situational awareness that has to be included. >> i just wanted to add on to that, that dph has a great resource of clinics. we are working with our clinics to take on those potentially minor trauma victims that they can treat and offload the hospitals. it would be a matter of triaging them at the hospital level and get them over there. >> just one other key point on that. we would also be working very closely with our partners in dem and the communications sector to

now they are at the table really dialogues with sfpd, dph and all the cbo's to figure out how they can de-escalate the violence. in terms of exchanging information, of course in a confidential way, but there's definitely a more structured way to share information. i want to pause real quick and emfa zultz for the family piece, i would say that family, really really focusing on families as part of our treatment plans now because most often it's those fathers, it's the grandmothers, it's the girlfriends that really try to work closely with us and that actually contact the cbo's or offices to make sure their brother, sister, boyfriend that they actually get the wrap around service that is they need and what we find is that throughout all the scenarios that we have had, you know, the women that are part of these communities have been very vocal and have been one of those that really mobilize and organize their constituents and the voices of trying to promote peace. not trying to talk down to our male counterparts, that voice, but i want to emphasize what we've done so far we've seen a lot

this is dph's south of market mental health services clinic that occupies the whole 13,000 square feet of the property. this particular lease rate would be $23.40 a square foot per year. and in addition to that base rate, we would pay janitorial and utility services. so, the cost for the fiscal year 12-13 are shown in the budget analyst's report in this case on page 3. and they total, then, $26.89 a square foot per year. again, considerably under those comparables that i showed you earlier. this, again, reflects what we believe is a negotiated rate that's below fair market rent. there was a considerable back and forth between the ownership and the city on this particular item, thus the retroactivity. the rate is like the previous item, fixed for the five-year term at that rate. the other increases will be for what's called pass throughs to essentially costs related to the facilities management, taxes, insurance that might go up per year, percentage share of that is passed on to the city. but the base rate remains the same for the five-year term. happy to answer any questions you might

. >> we also had fewer appeals of dph and mta related determinations but as was true this evening, we had a definite uptick in the related appeals particularly associated with the food trucks, which in my opinion comes from the fact that there is a new truck permitting legislation that is allowed to increase in the number of permits issued. so that was actually up 80 percent from the prior year. >> the board, the report also includes a map that provides a picture of the locations of the appeals and once again, the majority of the appeals filed seem to be in the northeastern quadrant of the city and it also looks at the out come of the determinations that you made. this past year, the board upheld, 32 percent of the appeals filed. and over turned or modified, 56 percent. so the number of determinations that you over ruled, actually was increased from prior years. and of those, you placed conditions on 90 percent of the matters. so only 6 percent were actually flat out over turned. but the majority of the cases where you took action to change what the department decided really was to pl

i applaud the mayor for recently working with police, dph and the courts to institute mandatory treatment for the most chronic and costly individuals. but we also need law enforcement to tell people that they can't rome around town or come in from outside the city to block sidewalks and beg for change. this is a tough topic to tackle without sounding like some uncompassionate right wing jerk, but the situation is getting worse and we need to do what is best for everyone, including residents, small business owners and visitors. let's raise all schools up to excellence. we won't have to send our kids across town because the school lottery didn't work out. city college: let's follow the state restructuring report and learn from the operational dysfunction that has plagued the college for years. this brings up proposition a. we should not be burdening homeowners and small businesses with another tax, but city college is too important to jeopardize so i will put aside my taxation reservations and vote yes on a. >>> public safety, using a number of methods let's encourage our police and firefig

this is included in the dph budget. we recommend approval. >> thank you very much. why don't we open this for public comment. are there members of the public what wish to speak on item number 8? >> thank you, supervisors, tom king. again this goes back to opening comment. when you are online and looking at the agenda, it would be great to have a link from the items to -- what i just heard, both preventers haddockments that would have been helpful to review prior to coming here because otherwise members of the public were kind of in the dark. it doesn't specify what the lease is, the amount of money. it doesn't specify what previous was. just off the top of my head i think securing a lengthy lease like that in two buildings, i don't think we should have paid that 3% increase. >> hello, we are back from a quick recess. the budget and finance committee. we completed items 1-9. and so we will be resuming the rest of the agenda. i believe that we have the moscini items left. and to my understanding that they are okay with us calling item 12 out of the order, is that corr
