they did this to the point of being unlivable, and then waiting five years to rhenvate the building, making it impossible to obtain housing. the mission, the haight, and the western addition have already been made essentially unaccessible to their former residents while using similar tactics. these sro's need to be continually accessible to low income residence den, not dollp for the so called hip techies, and think it would be cool to live in the city tofor a while with no regard to the citizens that are being placed out. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good evening, commissioners. my name is victoria pinto, and i'm here to represent the glide foundation and our concern over what's happening at 56 mason. as you may be aware, glide is a cultural institution and multiservice center at the tenderloin, that serves thousands of its low income residents. a great number of people we cecuming to glide are living in sro's as the only affordable housing available to them. this day, they face a great chance of homelessness. what is happening at the 56 mason represents somethi

finally, this family has wanted to rhenvate their house for many years, and i'm so happy that they're planning to stay in san francisco and in particular our neighborhood. >> president hillis: thank you very much. >> thank you. >> president hillis: all right. any additional public comment? seeing none, d.r. requester, you have a two minute rebuttal. >> commissioners, she also is invested in this neighborhood and bought it with a long-term plan of after renting to tenants now, making her life there as soon as she's able to make that shift in her life. secondly, it's certainly not true that she has not budged an inch on the request. the initial request was for a depth of 16'3". as you've seen, that's been modified when we realed it's possible to do to so 13'10". third, i want to clarify about the remodel she did in 2015 and to give a little bit of context there. so the previous owners of this building had begun a remodel beginning in 2007. then the great recession hit. they had financial problems and could not continue the work that they'd begun to the interior renovation. at that time,

>> supervisor safai: there is the opportunity to put funds together to rhenvate and prepare that space. i understand they couldn't do that under the current circumstances, so i would just like to say for the record it would be important for me to dph spent sometime looking at the faezibility to upgrading the location that they actually own so that we're not in this situation in five years asking for another extension. i did express this to the director, as well. i think it's important and something that i feel strongly about when we have assets that we own, we should be accessing and utilizing those. this is an important service provided to the community -- actually. we asked for an audit of all of mental health services provided, and i know we're going to have a hearing on that, and i know there will be a piece of that, and this is a wonderful, wonderful program that's provided to this community in language cultural culturally competent, so it's a really important program. but the idea that the city's spending this money continuously on a location that you have an obstinate or unwilli

boys and girls club, and it is really our residents who have taken the initiative to say we want to rhenvateker park and make it a true oasis for our families and our seniors, and we accomplished that with the trust for public land, thanks inform phil2k3w i gin-- phil ginser and mayor ed lee. we are going to make district six the best place for parks in the city. so i just want to thank everyone for their immense involvement. i also want to recognize san francisco police department because if not for their partnership at bodecker park, we would not have been able to maintain the beautiful and safe environment that we have there, so i want to recognize the captains and professionals that have maintained that. we have deputy commander chief mike redman, and david lazar. i again want to thank the entire staff at park and recs, and of course we have our own district six representative on rec and park commission, allen lowe. thank you for being the d-6 commissioner on the rec and park commission, and i look forward to playing on the park with all of you. thank you very much.

the potential food truck project. 15 years ago thomas and i put everything we had into buying, rhenvating, and creating an award winning restaurant at 18 valencia, and we took a huge risk. this was long before the valencia corridor was in the new york times. five years ago we spent $100,000 to create an outdoor seating space. three years ago, we sold the restaurant, keeping the building to eduardo, who was a long time employee of ours. he put everything he had into being able to open this restaurant. so quite frankly, i was surprised when i saw that the city might be willing or at least recommending that at really minimal cost, a restaurant will be allowed to open contiguous to ours. it seems a basic fairness issue. eduardo tells me, for instance, that last sunday on terrific streets when there were three food trucks at the corner of 18th and valencia, we saw a significant reduction in business. i understand the need for projects like food trucks, and they make sense to me. soma eats makes perfectly good sense to me, it's an area that lacked restaurants, it lacked street activity, and it

the county -- we've got a bond of 2016, and we are going to be rhenvating and expanding our southeast health center. this is a -- a view of what it will look like, and that's a $30 million renovation. the fact that we are an aca provider, electronic health records systems, we are bringing in to replace a major legacy clinical and billing systems, and this is our billing systems that you can see as i discussed with you for medi-cal is responsible for over $650 million of annual revenues. the electronic health record system will not only be an ability to bill better but also to ensure that our providers have a full view of the clients and patients that are coming to our system. we have over 60 to 100 applications that -- and we're really trying to integrate many of those into a new electronic health records system, and that's a very expensive endeavor that we are trying -- we will be funding for the next ten years. our first phase, go live date is august 3rd, 2019, and it does require comprehensive staff engagement, outreach for -- over the next 18 months. we have 7,000 employees to tra

as someone else who is also going to be rhenvating our home, i'm heartened to hear how hard working they have been working to get neighbor support for the project. what i do not understand is if they have all this neighborhood support, what the controversy is? they had a neighbor who was opposing and now supports them. the other three down, his neighbors also support the project as well. i'm not sure why planning wants more significant cutbacks in the building after all the cuts they have already made. i am concerned about the message this sends. as points out by mr. gladstone, all the foot i can't imagine losing is the equivalent of losing two bedrooms. in terms of loss that is extra deep, what's wrong with giving them an extra 5 feet, and it is not really triggering a variance, and there are no impacted neighbors objecting. i urge you to approve their home as presented before you today. >> thank you. any additional public comment? seeing none, we'll close public comment. commissioner moore? >> mr. washington, could you perhaps explain to us the reasoning behind rdt asking for further r
