for the laguna honda hospital replacement program, you have modification before you to increase the contract from 16.196 million to 16.805 million dollars to provide construction management service to the remodel of the h wing, which is the existing facility at laguna honda hospital, work has been underway for several years, construction has extended beyond what was originally sants -- anticipated, this is to provide the funds for staffing for construction cost estimating and construction scheduling as well as administrative support to the program team for the remainder of the work on the h wing which we anticipate will be completed by the spring of next year. one other thing i would like to mention, the budget analyst has pointed out that modification 15 which was approved administratively brought the contract value to 16.6 million, so we are actually looking to modify the resolution here to reflect that, so the increase that we're asking for is just what is included in modification 16 in the -- sorry, from 16694421 to 168051633. >> so, in that sense, you are in agreement that -- w

for them to have been taken away and thinking of the age group of the patients at laguna honda and i think that this is something that many people may not be aware of that has adversely impacted the patients because it means a lot to seniors to really have a good doctor because they know that they have someone that listens to them. i am equally disturbed because they were dismissed for doing the right thing and it is just unbelievable at this day and age, that we are going through this, but we have to go through this. i think that if this is a conflict of interest, and i think that it is. i think that this case really should be referred out. i think that for your own intelty and for your own self-respect and you are an important body, granted we may not always agree with you, but you are all educated and i can understand that there are unseen forces that may be behind you, but for your own integrity and your own self-respect, i would ask that you do the right thing and that you refer this case out and not try to make a decision that involves the executive director, because that

so you have formerly homeless seniors, people who have been in laguna honda living with other folks who may still qualify for affordable housing so have more means, but also have aging issues and other service needs that the building addresses. so when we do services in these buildings it's not just exclusively to direct access to housing tenants. the access points, just to give you an idea who gets in and where we are looking for people, access into direct access to housing is through acute and psychiatric hospital, long-term care, so laguna honda and other places, intensive case management programs that work in the community, our primary care clinics, our sobering and respite center and our fabulous street outreach program. one of our biggest clients and trusted partners. and, you know, the reason we do this and the health department is doing this is, one, because we think it's the right thing to do and we have spent so many dollars and so many years spinning our wheels with trying to help people recover, only to realize the obvious, that it's ludicrous to do it without housing. how d

renne's wife has been in several cases of laguna honda hospital. and her refusal to release form 990 tax statements. at the least mr. renne should follow the lead and recuse himself from this discussion. but what i am asking you is to take this off of your calendar [buzzer] and transfer the cases to another jurisdiction. so that there is not perceived or real conflict of interest. thank you. >> i am allen grossman. the commission and its vast decisions and actions must set the standard of ethical behavior. and conduct expected for those in san francisco. and your behavior is in the commission by the san francisco voters. two items task the commission and executive director meet the standard they should exemplify. first one is for the handling of complaints for the sunshine ordinance. this is the first two submitted to the task force for review and comment. this one five months after your april joint meeting was not. you may not be aware that the task force has been unable to conduct business for four months because of lack of a handicap member and

. >> i work for laguna honda before i was driven out of there (inaudible). i want to under score what dr. kerr said about the fact that you all have the responsibility to deal with whistle blower realtation, and the events are very important in society and clearly you are finding of no whistle blower retaliation when the government project finds that the vast majority are retaliated against, begs the question as to whether you guys are doing what you are supposed to be doing, thank you. >> next, item on the agenda, is the discussion and action on ethics complaint 08110816 and 09110816, alleging that executive director john st croix and tonia lediju willfully violated the sunshine ordinance. i understand that we can get or have got lisa from san jose to the attorney's office on-line and i think that we should try to do that. >> with respect to the issue, i would like to give mr. shaw an opportunity to speak, i know that he submitted a response to heric's analysis and i have reviewed it. but i do want to give mr. shaw an opportunity to explain it and provide w

he had spent of the last several years at laguna honda [ho-rpbts/] where his many colorful stories will be missed by the staff and volunteers who he entertained. thank you. >> mr. president seeing no other names on the roster, that concludes roll call for introduction. >> supervisor farrell, pardon me. >> colleagues i have one hearing request, following up on mayor lee's comments from president chiu i'm introducing hearing requests regardsing our over $4 billion health care liability on the books in san francisco. in 2004 the government accounts board issued statement 45 requiring government employers to measure and report liabilities associated with post retirement benefits exclusing pensions. the lion's share of that number is health care costs of of our controler's office completed the first required report in 2010 based off of 2008 numbers and estimate our liability at $4.36 billion. in just a few weeks the controller's office is going to release an updated report based on 2010 numbers. in advance of this release i'm calling for a hearing of the government oversight committee to loo

. >> doesn't the laguna honda matter. why isn't that a investigation relating to governmental ethics? >> because it was an investigation about... i would frame it more that it was elder financial abuse and not ethics. it was a misappropriation of funds. it was not per se, about ethics. funds were misappropriated from a restricted use fund and was spent by staff and when the city controller finally was pushed into conducting an audit, $350,000 of that misappropriated funds was restored to patient use. it was more about financial issues, not about ethical issues. >> let me ask mr. shaw a question? >> sure. >> isn't part of your point that it doesn't matter why you wanted them? that it is simply a public records request and you don't have to tie it to elder financial abuse or... >> that is right. >> you could not look and see what letterhead they used. >> miss studley you are right. when you file a sunshine complaint you don't have to specify, is it public access? is it ethics clause, you don't have to say. >> curiosity, or

there is stealing of money at laguna honda by managers and what does this city do about what does mayorerty. but they have an agenda when it comes to ross mirkarimi. he's a beater of women. he's a liar. he's a criminal. i say the real criminals are running this city.)'tñ that's what's happening in san francisco. and that's why there's a?zíáwp &c"p% vendetta against him. i'm not a democratic. i didn'trc vote for ross mirkarimi. but he has a right, a democratic right to have a hearing and have justice. and you have created a backlash of peoplecp&d who are against privatization who are against outsourcing, who are against turning this@dut)uv to the bankers and the billionaires. thankq%Ñ you. >> president chiu: next speaker. >> good evening. chrisi keefer. i attended the ethics commission hearing on ross mirkarimi's the four commissioners that supported the mayor's position not oneh6 represent to you their findings i think it's because they could not articulate their position which shows the murky slippery%2f slope they were on because this is politically motivated set in position leaving b
