the title is "sf should keep an eye on laguna honda gift funds." if there are any further hearings regarding laguna honda hospital, that one person should be invited who would have plenty of information to discuss this mr. patrick shaw. i was disappointed not to see him today. i guess he is tied up or did not realize that it was going to be brought up. for the three members of this committee, i would like to say my standard speech on the three things that everyone should remember about city government. first, and obstruction of justice. second, dereliction of duty. third, abuse of power under the color of authority. if everybody would consider those, i think the city government of san francisco would be in far better shape. i think you again for having today's hearing. supervisor campos: thank you. next speaker please. >> good morning, supervisors. i am just going to briefly state and i concur with all of the speakers who came before me. section 67.1 in the sunshine ordinance act states of the board of supervisors and the people of the city and cou

finally, the laguna honda hospital residents and visitors employee shuttle. this was a project connecting laguna honda hospital to the muni station and then adding new service to the glen park bart station. we did not recommended for funding because after funding higher priority projects and the bayview hunters point project, there are insufficient funds for this project. similar to the chavis bike parking facilities, we want to continue to work with partners to see how we can look at the regional pot of money. the last slide shows at the schedule of where we go from here. after we take it from this committee to the board of the and despite having a master funding agreement with the air district and a few weeks. then we work with grant sponsors in july. funding should be ready august 2011. with that, i can take questions on this project. thank you -- commissioner campos: thank you for your presentation. any questions? commissioner avalos: just a question on the first project, the emergency ride home program. the proposed amount is much less than the actual co

please do not forget laguna honda hospital. i do not hear any comments from a certain supervisor regarding what is going on at laguna honda hospital. i think the people are due an explanation. chairperson campos: thank you. are there other members of the public who would like to speak? seeing none, public comment is closed. this was simply a hearing. can we filed this item without objection? the clerk, please call item five, our last item. >> a resolution regarding north of markets/tenderloin commun ant to the committee. chairperson campos: do we have a presentation from staff? >> good afternoon. i am with the office of economic and workforce development, where i come-manage the community benefit district program. i know you have been here all day, or across the call -- the hall. hopefully, this last item will move quickly. what you have is a bubble -- a resolution asking the board of supervisors to approve the annual report and financial statement of the north of market community benefit corporation. it is for fiscal years 200

just like in item one, regarding the gift fund at laguna honda hospital. when i keep researching, looking for comments from that person, i find nothing. i think, in a certain sense, that is not doing your job. laguna honda is in your district, so is parkmerced, but we nothing from that person in regard to that. i think you are shortchanging the citizens of san francisco. when you have that much influence on those two important institutions of the city, and you are not present to offer any comment -- because, ideally, you should be saying what you want to say. but to say nothing is a serious shortchanging of the system. supervisor campos: thank you very much. next speaker. >> my name is steven halpern. i am a former 4% of the civil grand jury, twin peaks president -- resident. i was particularly incensed by my supervisor, sean elsbernd's comments, whoever wrote this report would have flunked out of law school in the first year. though the committee had lawyers on it with much more experience than the supervisors. but my basic question is, i do not see the l

the liberal on the parcel -- laguna honda parcel. they are habitat corridor related, whatever, and i do not think there is a way to encapsulate his policies so as we move forward, we can say about the terms of the relationship with other city departments or community groups because this really is our mission and our charge, in this is what we should be doing, but it is complicated. particularly in a situation. i do think it is part of the conversation around p.c.s. sets and how we either contract with other agencies or with stakeholder groups -- it is part of the conversation around puc assets. >> clearly, as we work with the trailheads, there is an organizational aspect but also a safety aspect, but inside the city, the charter gives the recreation and parks department authority, so if you really are talking about boating on the lake and fishing on the lake, where does that fit into their charge versus our charge? we will take a look at that. president vietor: particular one is land that we know, as opposed to other rec and park par

we want the staff and the patience @ san francisco general laguna honda to get the utmost care in safety provided for as well as the general public to visit. if there is a mechanism that recedes back from the contract thing on prop. j or finding middle ground, i would strongly encourage that be the case. >> we have all the same goals in terms of safety, so we would be happy to have that conversation. supervisor mirkarimi: as it relates to process, i'm not sure what was entertained. but you have a year's worth of discussion with the surest apartment and assurance department was simply complying -- the sheriff's department was simply complying with the department of public health -- from my characterization, managed retreats. it looks like a managed retreat from dph. i know there have been proposals put out there. i don't know how well those proposals have been vetted. the impression i have been given is that because there had been a decision to move forward on the decision on contracting out, that stops short of looking at anything else. >> i believe the controllers office should respond
