my name is eugene and i am a member of the physicians organizing committee. the trigger for hospital closures are -- for hospital closure is the 1% cause. this must be removed. the system-wide operating margin is not likely to fall below 1% for two years in a row. it is not an impossibility. in the east bay, a very similar cause to identify the closing of another hospital, announcing they will shut down in 90 days. why are they not shutting down any other campus? that is what we are in this fight about currently. to stop the closing of st. luke's. why did they get $90 million in tax breaks each year if not to maintain charity care? they claim they will increase charity care, but how? they are downsizing at st. luke's, chasing a longstanding doctors out of practice or into the foundation model with exorbitant rent hikes and their foundation practices turn away patients from groups such as health the san francisco and medicale. one of our doctors, they refuse to show hurt the only empty office space they knew she could afford. that suite is still empty today. h

additionally, $800,000 of america's cup organizing committee contribution to fund the infrastructure project requirements where there is a shortfall of that $800,000. we recommend all of these projects are totally consistent with prior board of supervisors policy approvals. we recommend you approve the ordinance on item six. on items seven, -- on item 7, regarding the debt service of these certificates of participation, the total would be $71.2 million. that includes $38 million for project costs and about $32.7 million for estimated interest payments. the average annual debt service based on a 5.3% interest rate, as reported by -- or estimated, would be a total of $2,410,322 per year. also, we do report on page 8 that we concur with the port that they do have the ability to repay the debt, and we recommend that you approve this resolution, which again is consistent with your prior policy actions. supervisor chu: thank you. while we open these items up for public comment? are there members of the public who wish to speak on items 6 and 7? >> it is kind of surprising that they decided

i'm a resident of district two and i'm also a member of the japan town organizing committee of district five. i want to first thank you all for taking into consideration all the communities of interest that we've outlined from the japan town task force. and i know it's doing to be a very hard decision. but i'm only one represent forgive here from japan town task force because today's beginning of the cherry blossom festival. and all the people there who have been showing up for japan town are not sitting in this room. at least one other person that i know of besides me. and i also wanted to let you know that you've all been great, you've done everything you can, and i know you're going to continue to do the right thing and take into consideration everyone's comments. what i did receive was i found, in the one meeting i kind of gave a cryptic message. it has nothing to do with anything you've done, it has nothing to do with the process from what i can see. it seems pretty transparent. but i've gotten communication that says otherwise, and due to that, i want to submit a couple of news ar

international olympic committee, and also by the torch bearer, the president of the rio dejannier owe organizing committee 2016. they really have thought about this. you said the nice symbolism of the first and second torch bear,, they've also got one from brazil to show this flame is eternal, and it goes on from city to city. >> and this really is one of the most beautiful parts of this, this very simple procession. as a local, you've seen this many times. do you still find it moving to watch each time? >> i do. i absolutely find this moving, and i can feel my skin trembling every time the torch is being lit. it's really amazing. now you're going to see the boy cutting the branch from the olive tree. >> my goodness, what a moment. >> that must make it easier. he's got the olive branch. >> in 2008, that was the first season. they used to have a lady who had taken part in a very first torch relay. it was choreographed from 1964 until the 2006 winter games, but now artemis has taken over, and she tries to bring a little bit of herself to this. she's worked closely with the music you heard earlier has been s

former supervisor, a member of the america's cup organizing committee.have megan from the recreation and park commission. larry from rec and park. we have mimi, the vip of all vip's. and i see a lot of friends out there, and i know you all hold titles. leroy king, redevelopment agency. jane morrison and i could go on and on the but here is where ioh stop where, and cicil williams. bless you, cecil. with that, it is my pleasure to introduce to you the first speaker of the day, and i have a few things to say about him, john burton. here is what is officially. widely considered one of the most effective and experienced legislative leaders in the state of california if not the nation. let me tell you a few things that john has done. he began his career is to be attorney general, served as president of the young democrats, won election to the central committee, served as state assembly member, president and the california democratic council, a chair of the california democratic party, which i believe he is today, and u.s. congress member and president pro tem

on the host and venue agreement that was originally executed among the city, america's cup organizing committee of the nonprofit supporting the city's effort and america's cup event authority. nar agreement acoc would procure a bond or security instrument that would secure the performance of both the city and acoc to ensure the event comes forward. so that provided protection in two directions. first to the city's general fund and to the harbor fund because then our cournts parties can look to the security instrument and not those funs to get their recovery if there's something that goes wrong down the line. on the other hand, you know obviously, provides protection from the event authority so they can be be sure events will happen and take place. we're working now that we understand more about the specific, for example, specific infrastructure improvements that need to be made at piers 30, 32 and ongoing project pier 27 to 29 to work with security instrument and insurance underwriters to understand how we can buy a purchase a product in conjunction with the acoc that would actually secure perf

i'm on the board of physicians organize committee and received, retired last year from st. luke's as chief of plastic surgery and hand surgery after 31 years on staff. st. luke is the only other hospital south of market, which often overruns, thank you, often runs over capacity and diverts patients to st. luke's. the argument that you cannot pull all of your police stations or fire departments north of market remains as valid now as it did when the blue ribbon panel concluded the need to rebuild st. luke's. the bay area is due for major earthquake. we must have redundancy of health care access points. please strike out the prerogative in determining the operating commitments based upon two consecutive years of less than 1% operating margin revenue. st. luke's provides emergency services for orthopedic injuries without the ability of a cast cart orcas technician to facilitate the care. this would easily -- this would be easy to remedy the administrators if the administrators have the will. if you break your arm and go to st. luke's, they can give you a splint, but no cast. w

johnson rause and i'm here on behalf of the physician's organizing committee. a have a psychiatrist in the emergency service where i had the pleasure of touring two of your commissioners moore and borden. i would be delighted to offer a firsthand site to any of you who would like to come by. i'm told that sutter argues here that their existing psychiatric beds are underutilized since they closed the 32 inpatient beds at st. lukeas, they have accepted any of them from psych emergency. my colleague texted me and said they're telling the commission that 90% of the commission in p.e.s. are not acute and don't need to be there. i really hope he messed up that quote because i can't believe anybody would actually stand here and tell you that. to begin with, 65 to 75% of the people who are brought into p.e.s. are on a 5150 psych hold from the police. so they're there for sure. this morning at 11:00, psychiatric emergency was on condition red with 21 patients, eight of whom were slated as needing admission without any open beds at sfgh. you have just heard from one of t

very much representative of the broader movement, maybe not in terms of the leadership of the organizing committee which was on purpose made to be more balanced between the left and the right the liberals and nationalists, socialists and conservatives. but the broad base is certainly democrat or european sense liberal so people who basically want to be citizens in their own country. people want to be citizens. that's the overwhelming -- when weise saw all the nationalists like due gan considered to be the father 6 intellectual neo-nazis in russia, people like an extreme nationalist ideologue, that's where all these people were. we do have some nationalists, sure and some hard left people, too. but they're a small minority and you know, this is kremlin scare tactics to suggest that this is the alternative. >> sir? >> hector antonio rivas with alpac. i do want to respond to a comment you made to the first question. you made the comment response and question, you said let's not talk about elections or results. i agree talk about policy. i have seen in november of 2011 rigozon make the announcement fo

. >> i call to order the legislation agriculture and organize straighting committee. this committee is unique. our hearing room doesn't have a raised desk. instead we sit around a table not unlike the tables that american families, american farm sit around every day after a long day's work. the work we do around this table is hard. farm bills are never easy, and a farm bill like this especially when we're making serious needed reforms while also cutting the deficit by $23 billion isn't easy. and i am very appreciative of all of the hard work of everyone sitting around this table. we've examined every program in the farm bill. we have reformed, streamlined and consolidated to get perhaps the most significant reforms in agriculture policy in any farm bill in recent memory. we've listened to farmers. we've strengthen the crop insurance and made that the centerpiece of risk management. we have a risk management tool that supments crop insurance that will work for farmers and save money. some of our members wanted and individual system. some wanted a county system, so we a

so i want to thank the three organizations who are responsible for this report. the national committee to preserve social security and medicare, the national organization of women, and the institute for women's policy research. a symbol here to give you a briefing is a lot of expertise that i think all of us will find enlightening. particularly since the social security system, as we know it, is still about yesterday's workforce. the genius of the system is that it has lasted so well and so long and is the most beloved of federal programs. yet even the best federal programs come to a point, and social security to me seems to be past that point, where one has to look at what it's today challenges are. the great challenge of the feminist movement was all on the front end of the workforce. women's work life, especially as some women were getting a work life for the first time in the post-world war ii generation, the kinds of work still a seminal issue because the sex segregation in the workforce spills out finally at the end of a woman's work life when she comes to social security and oth

specific operations undertaken by organizations such as interpol and the world customs organization and chair and committee members, it is clear organized crime is actively involved in the illegal trade of wildlife. this has been made clearly interpol, both by its secretary at and governing body and the u.n. office of drugs and crime and there is no doubt that organized crime is involved in the illegal trade of elephant ivory and rhino horn. we've heard from you this morning about a major spike in the illegal killing and trade of both elephant ivory and with respect to rhino horn and these are reaching levels that cannot be sustained. there have been record numbers of large seizures of elephant ivory, over 800 kilograms. about 1,800 pounds, i think in weight. you can't take 800 kilograms of ivory from central africa, export it through east africa and through asia without organized and sophisticated networks. and with rhino, we've gone from 13 illegally killed in south africa killed in 2007, to 448 illegally killed in 2011 and the numbers are up to 220 this year putting us on track for illegal killings of u

organization. and chair and committee members, it is very clear, organized crime is actively involved in the illegal trade of wildlife. this has been made clear by interpol, by the secretary and it's governing body which has passed resolutions on the top pick and by the national institution of drugs and crime. there is absolutely no doubt that organized crime is involved in the illegal trade of elephant ivory and rhino horns. we have talked this morning about a major spike in the illegal killing and the illegal trade of both elephant ivory and rhino horn and these are reaching levels that cannot be sustained. there's been record seizures of large -- of ivory. you can't take 800 kilograms from ivory, from central africa, export it to east africa and then to asia without carefully planned networks. and with rhino, we have gone from 13,00013,000 -- 13 illegal killed rhinos. this is despite the efforts of the south african government which has really enhanced it's effort. the societies exist with the objective of survival of species in the world. ade goes well beyond the impact of those species. crimina
