mr. farrell? eric maurd, norman yooe, you've got the whole board. oh, my god!. i am just so delighted, christina that mom's at the mayor's office that you altogether decided to do a closing ceremony for black history month. harlem would disagree with you on that because tomorrow there is another harlem kelly version of black history and he's been doing it for years. it's the most inexpensive event that i have ever been to. i'm going to try to get him to upgrade it, mr. mayor, now that he's the big man. we just finished the most magnificent chinese new years parade it was and the lord obviously smiled on the chinese because it didn't rain this year. most years it rains for the chinese new years. this was at an incredible location. it's always the location over the last years or so, an elective family has reached out to include an -- array of people. in january it was chinese new years celebration and now we are doing black history month. in about five weeks we'll be doing the cherry blossom festival which is japan's town and and then carnival and then we follow t

i really want to applaud president chiu, supervisor campos, supervisor farrell, mr. rich over here, oewd, planning, thank you for resuscitating this project, to coin a medical term. but i mean really two world class hospitals for the residents of the city and county. and work force opportunities for young men and women through our construction apprenticeship programs for young men and women in all of the entire city. so, thanks once again, and we look forward to you approving the term sheet today. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >>> michael lion, gray pan theyx and also a member of the coalition. we have come a long way. st. luke's looks more viable. cathedral hill looks more manageable but there are serious questions that remain, not only about the cpmc itself, but also how that deals affects the rest of the health system in san francisco. how is the rest of the city going to care for some 5,000 more medical patients -- medi-cal patients that we anticipated? how are we going to have enough skilled nursing facility beds? how many psych bed do we need? how are

farrell. without objection, those minutes are approved. madam clerk, any communications? >> i have no communications, mr. president. >> and could you read our consent agenda items 1 through 12? >> mr. president, before doing so, i wanted to present a point of information. this morning our controller mr. rosenfield identified item number 3, the supplemental appropriations specifically the district attorney positions on item number 3 to have originally been rejected by the board and the mayor in the annual budget for the current year. section 3.15 of the administrative code states that when any supplemental appropriation ordinance subsequent to the adoption of the budget for the current year contains an item which has been rejected by the board of the mayor and is then reintroduced for consideration, it must be subject to a two-thirds vote or an eight-vote threshold. typically the controller indicates that such within the title of these supplementals and we are able then to place it on the unfinished business pursuant to our rules as it is not appropriate for the consent agenda. it is before you today on s

. >> chair farrell, can i also thank mr. buell, but also reiterate there was a commitment made way back in 2010 for this meeting of goxv of 12 million for the first year, 10.10 million for year 2 and 3 and i know you're doing everything you can. i want to make sure our general fund doesn't get hit and we are going to assure the public that the private funding will come in. so, that's my concern. and i'm hoping that you can explain that we're going to meet those commitments. >> supervisor, i share your concern and the anticipation. i would have to defer to the controller and the mayor's office about how tax dollars come in and what funds and how they're spent by the city. but i would remind you in even my greatest enthusiasm, i always have the caveat, it would be our best efforts to do it. there was no way we could possibly guarantee it. >> and maybe ms. mcclellan can explain that $8 million concession agreement which is now a loan and how that operates as well. >> right, she can. thank you. >> thank you, good afternoon, i'm

about, about jazz, in it, billy farrell, who is one of a very large number of characters, is a jazz pianist and before he begins playing a black leprechaun appears to him, mr. mcginniss so you can assume it's the ghost of mr. mcginniss. as margaret said, in 1949 we came to the south bronx, which was an irish neighborhood, mostly. i was sort of a spaced-out kid, destined obviously to be a poet. i was this big at 13 and i was a good rollerskater and the kids were amazed and they befriended me. after a while, they recognized that i had some sort of athletic ability and because i was so spaced out, they mistook it for great courage and if they pushed me, i pushed them back. it was just like a game. so they took to me and asked me to join the shamrocks. i even changed my name from ed vega to ed mcveigh. and this is how they passed me off because most of the teams they played were other irish kids. this was a regular football team so, consequently, they listed me as eddie mcveigh. it was great fun and my friends were jimmy flynn, paddy o'connor. my siblings married the shenny's and i almost married a catherine finerin but it didn't work out. i have a nephew, sea

farrell, you are finished with roll call. madam clerk, do you want to call on the next supervisor? >> thank you, mr. president. supervisor kim. >> thank you. today i am introducing the first in a series of ordinance that will finally kickoff the creation of two new parks in district 6 which as many of you noaa long with district 3 has the least amount of public open space per resident in the entire city. it's a result of organizing efforts that began over 12 years ago and i'm excited to finally see this project realized. because of organizing it began so long ago i thought it would be helpful to provide some historical context to understand the significance of this project to our residents in the market and the cop in, valencia, and stevenson neighborhood. between 2000 and 2005 many of our residents initially united to halt the rebuild of the freeway ramp. and when they failed in doing that they mobilize today get themselves onto the central freeway highway advisory committee and lobbied for $5 million for the project itself to be spent within the immediate area. thousands of meetings later, the cac was able t

farrell for looking at our mistakes. we have to support mark buell and kerry mcclellan and the mayor. i appreciate mr. barkley staying for the whole hearing as well and all the information that's been shared today. i didn't want to lose the issue of making sure that the back pay is addressed and that in the future as we look at private or private projects or other projects like this that we have a very clear system so that prevailing wages adhere to if that is a commitment that's been made. i think the suggestion from olse and others and from the public that testified, i definitely would like to see an investigation of penalties or some way to enforce, to go beyond good faith efforts to make sure that we have better monitoring systems and really can ensure that workers are paid their prevailing wage and we are monitoring and make sure this does not happen again. so, i appreciate the hearing and look forward to working to the to make america's cup successful. >> okay. and we have a motion to continue to the call of the chair. and we can do that without opposition.
