i do have some specific questions for mr. rich first of all. the 75 percent utilization rate for saint luke's before cal pacific can increase their van ness hospital by 30 more beds. isn't that arbitrary? it depends on how many people are ill. >> let me give you that background. one that was not on the current agreement, a 20-year guarantee to keep saint luke's open. that was replaced to the better satisfaction of everyone. not only did saint luke's get bigger but cathedral hill got smaller. it is the fact that now saint luke's is 25 percent of the total beds in the system that gives everyone the confidence that it's not something that cpm c would be able to close. it's too big a part of the system. that is a very difficult situation to negotiate around and we had negotiated those respective sizes, 274 beds which results to staying to the same number of beds. cpm c came back and said we want to go a little bit bigger. that might start to upset that balance but to get around it2s guarantee that saint luke's was using all it's beds and looking in

i guess mr. rich, during our hearings previous hearings on this development there were people who testified and also i think reactions from the commission revolving around psychiatric services. a lot of discussion around psychiatric services. i don't know if that's being addressed here or not. >> i will try to address that. i would like to caveat anything i say that i'm not the public health folk. i think we can certainly by the next hearing we can have them here and we have them elaborate on what i say. there is in the health care innovation fund which is one of the requirements that cpm c funds to the tune of approximately $900 million, one of that is to provide outpatient psychiatric care to our community. she prefers to beef up the city's ability psychiatric outside of acute care hospital. if you add beds, psychiatric beds and there is no place for folks to go when they are discharged from the hospital, then they have to stay in the hospital, which isn't good for anyone. barbara prefers to see the

is that correct, mr. rich? >> that's correct. just really briefly, last year in the previous incarnation, the planning commission forwarded to the board some general plan amendments as well as some other legislation like planning code amendments. and a unique attribute of general plan amendments they are approved if the board does not disapprove them within 90 days, that 90 days was told by the ceqa appeal, but it's running again. and if the board doesn't disapprove those original general plan amendments which are now no longer relevant to the project before you, then they will become approved on may, late may, may 24th or 25th. so, we're asking the board to go ahead and disapprove the previous general plan amendments. in june, you will have back in front of you revised general plan amendments reflecting the project that you saw a few weeks ago. >> thank you. thank you. so, i believe the request would be that we forward these with a negative recommendation to the full board? >> yes, that's correct. >> okay. and do we have to hear

one of the things that the coalition is interested in, we met with mr. rich on tuesday and hopefully with director ram soon sd idea of mechanism for on going community input into enforcing the terms of this agreement. we can see that a lot of these things click off over the years in terms of monitoring an overview. we believe there needs to be a mechanism for community groups to continue to have input into the process. cathedral neighbors on the coalition have been transportation. you can see there is a lot of elements around transportation in the term sheet, parking, transit passes, surveys of employees, overloading fines, support of transit systems. we want to make sure there is a community mechanism to monitor over this term. this is a long term process. it's going to affect transportation on the van ness and poke street corridors for many years. we would like to raise the issue that we are looking for a role in this. thank you. >> thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners, i'm a law student from the economic development clinic unit. we have been providi

. >> i would like to have mrs. rich respond to this. there a number of people including me that believe that the representation the border will be secure and we'll have an effective system has been adequately. those are those who say tb adequately addressed in the bill. you know specially, police mrs. lichter that executive branch should create a branch of effectively monitor visa overstays yet today. all the years later 40% of illegal immigration doesn't come across on the border. people come in legally and overstay. i want to ask you you can you understand those who have seen this movie before who said the promises and assurance it's the last time that ever will have to happen. we're going institute enforcing law against people who come in legally but overstay the visa. it's never come to pass. can you appreciate the skepticism that people feel when they hear that again? mrs. lichter, go ahead. >> senator, thank you. look at it my way, first. then you can look tat a better way. [laughter] can you understand the skepticism? judge -- co

rich in talent. thank you. >> thank you, mr. chen. and now district 11 community representative, rachel ebora and nicole agbiyone. and then we have omar community collaborative, gwen brown. >> good afternoon, i am the executive director of burnle heights. >> good evening, our organization works through the vitalized commission street in excelior planning collaboratives. 57% are foreign born. 74% of the households are considered family households. 18% of the residents live in linguistic isolation. 27% of the hispanic and 27% of the asian-speaking homes lack community services. there are few public plazas or places for all ages and ethnicities together. we have a lack of venues and clubs for all ages. and the poverty is 7.54%. >> with nicole i participate in the excelsior that is in the heart of the mission. in the collaborative one thing that we accomplished is putting together the process of strategic planning and envisioning for the community. and with various community meetings that involve over 15 organizations. and we put together

i don't know what point the rich are finally paying a fair share but they're not there yet. they're not even close. mr. president, what will it be to let rich folks be? if not a combined top rate of 50% now, what will it take? 60%? 70%. back to the good ol' days of 90%? hard to say this much is not. you say you don't want to fix our spending problem on the backs of the middle class. so you clearly decided to keep hitting up the rich and kick them in the ass. at least while you still have them because at the rate you're going, mr. president, you won't for long. none of this is surprise to hear house speaker john boehner tell it, reacted this way. >> he does deserve some credit for some incremental entitlement reforms. they outlined in his budget but i would hope that he would not hold who stands these modest reforms for his demand for bigger tax hikes. neil: somewhere boehner has to cobble together or somehow, some sort of a deal with the president who simply won't budge on those taxes even as the speaker already has. so what is the speaker to do? we thought we would ask a former speaker who knows what

mr. mayor for working with us and in particular ken rich, you really get one of the major unsung hero award for your efforts. i want to take a moment also to thank our counter parts across the table from cpmc, this is a different conference than the conference i called for back in july, is that right? i want to thank you for your demonstration in san francisco and i look forward to opening up a brand new saint luke's and cathedral hospital. of course much has been said about gerardo, if you are looking for a feature story to do on someone. david has already suggested he go to the middle east. i'm going to ask lou, we need some help with homelessness and i wonder if you are ready for that task. oor there is literally thousands of people that interacted with city hall to make sure we address the housing labor issues, the transit issue, the neighborhood issues. we can go on and on but this deal wouldn't have been put together without all of your input. let me flush out other issues. first of all this is going to be 50 percent larger and a cathedral hill that will be smaller in addition to the

mr. president, the rich are willing to do this. if we did this, we would avert cuts that hurt american families, harm military readiness and hinder our economic recovery. mr. president, i want everyone within the sound of my voice to double-check my statistics here, but i heard on the radio on the way to work that the pentagon has decided that one-third of all of our aircraft simile won't be used because they don't have -- simply because they don't have enough to fuel them. that training won't go forward. that's what i heard on the radio. i'm quite confident that's right. mr. president, in the house and senate, both republicans and democrats voted to impose these cuts quite a long time ago. so it's going to take republicans and democrats working together to avert them. that's what we need to do. this is senseless to go on as we are with these cuts that are with a meat cleaver, not a scaa- not a scalpel. the presiding officer: under the previous order, the leadership time is reserved. under the previous order, the senate will resume

mr. vice president. and the rich laugh.iculty here, you're not like likely to see the kind of primary fight that you saw between obama and clinton, are you? wouldn't biden be very careful about doing that? >> i think biden would run. he's always wanted to be president. he's been a good vice president. he was key in that whole economic agreement that was made. he's done a lot of foreign policy. he's in very good physical shape, so i don't think there will be an age issue. and he has ambition. he has the fire in the belly. when you run for president, you have to realize it's about four years of your life every day in a different spot. and biden has that sort of eye of the tiger. i don't think he would defer to secretary lyclinton. the relationship is very good. but, you know, when you run for president, you have to just do it. >> i'm fond of him as a republican, just his personality. he's a patriot. but he is the atomic clock of second finance. and i don't think that's going to change. i don't think he'll win a democratic pri
