supervisor campos: within the laguna honda, who approved the transfer? >> i cannot recall, but it would go to the cfo to approve the transaction. >> with that in mind, the return of funds did not include potential interest earned, had a $176,000 remained in the gift fund. we had recommended laguna honda performance calculation of the potential interest earned. the patient is funded accordingly. in general, what we recommended over all to laguna honda is that it needs to work with the health commission to implement a complete gift fund policy. it needs to work with the office of the treasurer and tax collector to consider methods to actively manage the gift fund portfolio. it needs to return donations and interest of $18,000 to the patient gift fund in addition to the 127 which already been returned. estimate potential interest that would have been turned on the principal balance of the $176,000 and received for properly it knowledge and receiving all of its foundations and develop controls to enter all gift fund expenditures conform to policies. supervis

i was a former employee of laguna honda. i did not know any of these administrators personally or even know what they are doing. i noticed a lot of unsavory things going on during the time i was employed, but they were not even close to what we are seeing now. we are seeing a lack of justice because these administrators happen to be administrators. they are not lower echelon people, they are administrators. nobody looks at their competence to do their job. nobody looks at their misuse of city funds, funds that should be used for patients. nobody has looked at it. and if you do the time, you should -- crime, you should to the time. nobody is being prosecuted. it is like robbing a bank. i robbed $350,000. ok, i have taken $350,000, and then somebody finds out, you took $350,000. so i take that $350,000 and i hand it back to the bank. do you think that i would not be prosecuted? you bet i would. this is my point. we are honoring people that have stolen public money, that have been incompetent at their jobs, and they continue to

i worked at laguna honda for four years before resigning in protest. supervisor campos: is this on the first item? >> it absolutely is and i will be speaking on the gift item as well. i want to bring to your attention what they called the laguna honda transition assistance project. that was a $250,000 contract and a subcontractor was barbary coast consultants, a public- relations firm. one could ask what they're doing contracting public relations firm for eight safety net hospitals already has a public relations department. furthermore, if you look at the report that is posted on the controllers website, it is 53 pages of mom and apple pie, not a single statistic, not a single word about the morale issues, the treatment of the dissidents at laguna honda. frankly, as a taxpayer for decades in san francisco, i object to the use of my money in this way. the managers should know what they're doing before they are -- if what had gone on had occurred, they should bought it to other city departments. finally, i would like to draw your attention to the comment

according to my research, it seems like laguna honda hospital has been cast in a very negative light lately, especially in regards to its new construction. there has also been debate with certain watchdogs on whether the facility is being used for the benefit of longtime seniors in san francisco. maybe the issue of how laguna honda fits in with seniors in san francisco should be addressed, specifically. the reason why i bring that up is that i notice my own district supervisor has still been reluctant to issue written statements regarding what has been happening at laguna honda, answered allegations to their vocal critics. in regards to this committee, i notice there are only two agenda items for today. i am of the opinion that if taxpayers are going to get their money's worth, we should be holding more agenda items. if the committee would like some suggestions, i would like to mention three items. child porn, medicare fraud, and public official corruption. thank you. but >> walter paulson. you give us a senior housing that makes poll city sing and all the independence that it brings
