. >> supervisor ferrel? >> thank you president chiu. colleagues we are here to discuss the contribution health plan for city employees and retirees. i know this has garnered some controversy in the past few weeks and something i have been involved in for a number of months now and thanks for raising issues and pushing the dialogue forward. i hope we are at a place to fight for greater transparency from the city's health care providers that we are doing collectively as a board and i will continue to lead a fight on and also to move this item forward so we don't jeopardize the vital services for 10s of thousands for our employees. i think it's important to note that specifically health care plan blue shield has been voted on a full package. this is for all system active and retired members in the county of san francisco, unified school district, city college as well as superior court. a few comments on kaiser. i believe that we can all agree that kaiser has not been as forthcoming in the past with data backing up their rate increases. i d

commissioner lynn and scott and others as well as the wisdom from supervisor and commissioner ferrel as well. i have learned a lot from this process. i think we'll have a fairer rate in the future. without efforts to ask tough questions to kaiser we wouldn't be in the situation we are in today. i'm willing to support this and want to thank the staff for their hard work. >> supervisor campos? >> thank you very much, mr. president. i want to thank everyone who has been working on this for quite some time and certainly to supervisor ferrel who represents us on the board. i want to thank him for his advocacy and thoroughness and how he looks at the issue that comes before that body. i also want to thank supervisor's mar and avalos and our partners from labor from sciu who have raised some important questions about this process. one of the things that i hope is very clear to kaiser today is that while we may have differences of opinion among ourselves, that at the end of the day, the city as a family is unified behind making sure that we do right by our workers, by our employees, by our r

we're working on our local san francisco ordinance and i really applaud supervisor ferrel and senator leno's efforts. hopefully we'll be working with you to encourage more transparency for the whole healthcare system. i want to acknowledge the work of public employees and community groups that have raised the questions from the hs boards meetings 'til now. i'm still not totally satisfied with what we've come up with, but i'm hoping as this comes to the full board we'll have more written down so it's a clear process of what we the city, and kaiser will do to move forward to make sure it's a fair rate for 2015 as well. i wanted to thank everyone for coming out. for those that are kaiser members, like myself, and i'm sorry to hear of the health issues that some testified about, but my hope is to move this forward with no recommendation today and hopefully at the full board we'll have more written down and commitments so we can move forward. i wanted to say it's been a learning process for me to understand the negotiations of our hss staff but also the deliberations of the health service

i hope that my home district supervisor mike ferrel will help to support our family's position. relying on the rent for income, we try very hard not to raise the rent on our tenants and i hope you realize that any or all in creases affect not only them but their families and ours. we get less income, they have to pay more. we don't need another community benefit district in san francisco if we really use our property taxes the way they are supposed to be used. we feel the taxes should cover the things that these cbd things is going to try to cover. >> thank you, next speaker. >> good afternoon, thank you so much for everyone who is here in support of the safety and beautification of broadway corridor in the top of broadway. >> again, even though we disagree, we are still altogether to support a better neighborhood for safety and beautification. thank you so much. >> thank you. next speaker. my name is carlos. i'm a property owner. for the last 25 years. this district is dominated by strip joints. it is 8 strip joints. if this cbd is going to pass, they are going to control the d

of conspiracy theorists, and the head of the house select committee on the assassination, and mary ferrell was there, a respected researcher, and it was just this incredible dinner party. i do not recommend anyone have such a dinner party. [laughter] they -- we survived it. just tremendous amounts of beverages were consumed. [laughter] nobody ate anything at all as far as i can tell, but we worked out, they understood that we were doing history, that we needed to find an approach, that you couldn't do an exhibit on their theory against another theory, that we had a responsibility to say how tax dollars were spent in history, and it all worked out. i don't think too many people know that the editor of the tax was judge jackson, who ended up being a terrific editor, and we had -- i mean, everyone was involved. there was a lot of coordination. actually, everyone came together and cooperated. largely. we had retired cia, staff director who came in to work with staples and charles. they called me at 7:30 on a saturday. this guy has applied for a job, what do you think? i said, look, let him in,
