facility is their primary medical facility, this data is as public as it should be. the first question my veteran community is going to be asking is when? >> tomorrow. and beginning on may 23rd, each medical center was requested, directed, i'm sorry, to contact veterans after they could determine if we could have additional clinic capacity. if we could not have clinical capacity and we could acquire care in the community, one of the things we have to be careful about is there is not an infinite supply of primary specialty or mental health care in the unxhoochlt right. so if we can find the care, coordinate that care the next step is to peck up the phone. call and ask a veteran when they want to be seen. as of friday evening, i believe we made 50,000 phone calls in the facilities and networks across the country. we want to finish those and move onto the next set of phone calls, working back from wait times as we get closer and closer to what we think is timely care. >> that has already started and we will be tracking i think beginning this woke the rate of obligations

so i mean, inspector general told us in the report he went to five facilities and none of the five facilities were carrying out the policy that was in place. and you don't have any idea if anybody was -- any action was taken over the fact that these five places didn't comply with the rules? >> do you? >> i do not, sir. >> all right. i'm out of time. >> yes, you are. >>> i wanted to talk about skip. we now have new information that we gleaned from the audit so when does the va take in the information we learned about the real wait times as opposed to the previously-reported wait times and the increased demand thereof, and does the va plan on updating the skip plan to reflect those new data points? >> the va as we are beginning to look if the information we have regarding productivity and our resources, is also seriously discussing the space needed to address the delivery of that care. that's been undoor active discussion this week. >> if the victim a is vamting this and i imagine as you evaluate capacity you're looking at space, the need for more personnel, and in some cases, it may be very ex

my question is how can we incorporate into all of our facilities the actual facilities that are part of the ig report to get an individual who can work with those facilities from the bottom to the top? working at the bottom, these are civil service individuals who work at these facilities. many of whom have not served. get somebody who can work with our patients as they walk in the door to the v.a. facilities and work with them every step of the way to get the numbers and good metrics to make the system work nationwide. guest: what happens in health care in general and certainly in the v.a., people get lost in the shuffle filling out forms and they set waiting for too long. to make the v.a. a more personal institution is exactly right. when people come in, they should be welcomed and helped with paperwork, that should be minimized. the goal should be to get them into caring providers who will see them in a reasonable period of time. host: will you allow amendments to be attached to your bill? guest: what i do not support -- this is a veterans bill. i do not support the idea of somebo

at thele facility level. >> at the facility level. given the gaming strategies and other things that have suggested and have shown that the data is not valued or maybe reliable do we have potentially the same problems with what you're attempting to measure here? why would we not have similar problems with knowing exactly what's going on with productivity? >> dr. clancy? >> i think that's an incredibly important question and one that we share your concerns and also recognize that since integrity of data has been a problem for us, we not only need to clean up our policies and stream line them but that we also need to have some independent valid addition thvalidation that it can be assured by a third-party. >> that has not been done? >> not yet because the scheduling new policies -- >> any of the data has not been independently confirmed >> the rvu data is independently validated. >> if we have falsified data and we've shown that va admitted to that, the gaming strategy four years ago admitted that was going on, i don't know how the data

so we will be presenting the vehicle and facilities for adoption next month. the way that it is organized is that there is a slide that gives you an overview of what is done and under way of the projects, and the second slide for each of the categories is the proposed projects, and then the next slide is highlights from the different categories, stories that we felt were worth calling out and highlights of interest to draw your attention to. and the muni facilities or the muni vehicles category has delivered a couple of very large projects over the last five years, and in particular, most reseptemberly, with replacing about 60 hybrid motor coaches and 60 feet trolly coaches and then also para transit vehicles. and this category is intended to upgrade and replace the vehicles, this is not for expansion vehicles and so the way that the prop k funds are used in this category is primarily the leverage the federal funds to the region that are formula based and so these, so, as i switched to the next slide, the prokurments that are planned over the next five years a

and these customer municipal, solar facilitis that i am talking about are largely on the city, owned roofs. and our newest, here at symphony hall and the two that we energized and dedicated and we have over the years a list of projects that i am showing total of 2.5 mega watts of the roofs with the solar on them provided by sfpuc. and looking forward, we are our ten-year capitol plan has us dedicated about $12 million dollars of the net operating revenues to the additional facilities and you will see that in this particular fiscal year, are targeted towards the city hall solar and, downtown high school. and some other high school facilities that we expect to be installing solar on over the summer break. and we also have some renewable purposes, cal mentioned the sunset solar project that is photographed here and that is not a doctored photo and it really shows up and glows out on the sunset and we have five, mega watts of solar and that is the purchase agreement and so we purchase the output and the performance risk for the facility are held by the facility own and her we purchase th

my veterans in ventura county and the west los angeles facility is their public facility. this data is public as it should be but the first question my veteran community is asking is when. >> tomorrow. and beginning on may 23ered each medical center with wait times for veterans was directed to contact veterans after they could determine if they could have additional clinic capacity. if they could not and we could acquire care in the community one thing we have to be careful about is there is not a primary supply of health care in the community so if we can find that to purchase, accord nature and the next step is picking up the phone and calling vets and asking when they want to be scene. as of friday we made 50,000 phone calls. we want to finish those and move on to the next set and work closer and closer to what is timely care. that has started. we are tracking the rate of obligation of those funds. we will track the use of those funds to accelerate care. >> and you will share that data? >> i will share that. >> thank you. you mentioned having enough personal in the syst

facility level. >> yes, at the facility level. >> now, given the gaming strategies and what has shownthat the data may be not valid or not reliable, do we potentially have the same problems with what you are attempting to measure here? why would we not have similar problems with knowing exactly what is going on with productivity? incrediblythat is an important question and one that we share your concerns and one that we recognize cents integrity of data has been a problem for us, we not only need to clean up our policies and streamline them but that we also need independent validation that these processes are both effective ad that the integrity can be assured by an independent third party we will be doing just that. addition thvalidation that it can be assured by a third-party. >> that has not been done? >> not yet because the scheduling new policies -- >> any of the data has not been independently confirmed >> the rvu data is independently validated. >> if we have falsified data and we've shown that va admitted to that, the gaming strategy four years ago admitted that was going on,

facilities is necessary. iaea monitors require unfettered access to these individuals and their relevant records and notes. the right to take random samples at ever facility is necessary with testing undergoing at u.s. or iaea labs. the issue of weaponization must be pursued with access to known and explosive high test sites and all relative records. information dealing with miniaturization and making of a nuclear warhead must be pursued for obvious reasons. access to all nuclear work will be necessary and i emphasize this, any time, any place access to facilities that manufacture, assemble and test centrifuges technical coverage with camera sensors and inspections will be necessary 24/7. technical monitoring the plutonium facility will be required since this facility has one purpose, one purpose, using plutonium for nuclear weapons. if iran is committed to a peaceful nuclear weapon, iraq should be dismantled not monitored. those are some of the issues that the protocol will have to address. the task will be

a slow sneak out from covert facilities. in agreement with iran should hence provide one a full explanation of past iranian nuclear activities with possible military preventions and to iran's atomic energy agency about such such activities explains who is involved, what actions were taken and where they took place. there can be no international confidence that the development of nuclear weapons capabilities has ceased. second a complete data declaration and robust inspection of iran's nuclear activities and material and equipment. critical parts of iran's nuclear programs are still not well understood by the international community. a final agreement must allow access to sites persons and records sufficient to make iran's nuclear program transparent. third and effective means of monitoring all of iran's procurement activities with possible nuclear activities. a final agreement must prevent iran from continuing to import illicitly materials. the best way to accomplish this is to set up a channel for nuclear imports that might

on the slide before there was an $8.2 million increase year over year on facilities, real estate facilities maintenance. >> it's also rent for 1145 and 1155 market. >> got it, thank you. supervisor wiener? >> thank you, mr. chair. i have a question about animal care control. i don't know if you were going to get into more specifics about spc. >> go ahead. >> my understanding is that you had a city administrator in your budget request from the mayor's office, requested i think it was 900,000 or so of additional animal care control augmentations around enforcement officers as well as help with the shelter and veterinarians. shelters did close sundays and mondays, if i'm not mistaken. animal care control has some serious structural staffing problems. my understanding is that the mayor's office did include the augmentation for enforcement officers or animal control officers, whatever you call them. i'm appreciative of that because i think there just was not enough capacity in safety issues so i'm very supportive of that. can you just -- of that, what was the total request that you had included

it's possible that secret facilities that we don't know that. the ie doesn' doesn't know about they're good reason to believe that are not secret facilities, that we do know the full extent of the program. the good news is we get the comprehensive deal that iran tried to cheat we would likely catch them and be able to pair a response to the bad news is we don't have about six months to do it. so i share your concern on syria but it is clear, backing off of it has been very damaging to u.s. credibility. so i have a colleague who went to east asia recently talking with our allies, talking with our allies in tokyo and she said she was surprised at how often she came up. all they wanted to talk about. the president said he's going to force and he didn't. what does that mean for security can from the united states? can we count on the united states anymore? we need to take our security in our own hands? so i think because of that our commitments are being called into question everywhere, including on iran. so give the president has said he's willing
