this is richard rossman again. i wish you'd have a hearing on why muni staff has a veto power over safety improvements that the neighborhood would like to have. i think that $225 fee to appeal a decision of traffic engineers are a little too high. maybe instead of appealing to the board, decisions should go to the m.t.a. board before it comes to the supervisors and not let one person have a say over safety improvements that the neighborhood wants. thank you. >> president yee: okay. any other public comments? >> clerk: that is it for public comments. >> president yee: okay. public comment is now closed. in terms of what jodi mentioned in the letter that she sent, i'd like to have a discussion between sfmta and maybe the police department on that issue of who should be -- how can we do things differently, in terms of enforcement, should be on our agenda also. okay. so is there anything further? madam clerk? >> clerk: next item is item 8, public comment. >> supervisor peskin: no, we had that. >> president yee: just ha

my name is richard rossman, and about the transportation, when i had a family members discharged from a kaiser facility, we got the exact opposite information, saying that the gurney and wheelchair would be free, but if they can walk, kaiser wouldn't pay for it, so i don't -- this was in february. second, since kaiser's saving money on not building a new building in oakland, and they give money to the warriors and the san jose sharks, maybe they should use that money to build another post acute -- a post care facility so kaiser can be in charge of the patients post recovery, which i think they should be from the time of the surgery until the time they go home and not pass the buck to third parties. and lastly -- oh, the other thing is that i found out kaiser has an ombudsman. i never knew about that. i found out about that almost accidentally, and this notice should be placed in the hospital rooms and sent to our members, and this ombudsman has been helping me in my ongoing saga with kaiser. and i find the person very neutral, and i don't know why kaiser doesn't advertise this service
