health proposes to do in terms of compliance with the affordable care act and maximizing access to san franciscans, i believe that when those specifics are finalized that the specifics will look very much like what we have proposed and while we believe that the coverage san francisco portion of the program is a workable program, that as soon as it lays out a way for san francisco to insure that every worker and every resident is insured and i understand that there is always a need for flexibility by city agencies and so we are open and prepared to work with the department of public health to give them the flexibility. we have distributed to the committee and they are available to the members of the public, a set of amendments that i will be making today. and address the specific issue of what happens with the aca i am mri thentation and coverage san francisco piece of the ordinance and the amendments that i will make today direct the department of public health to develop its own plan that the employers made to the city, are used in a manner to get as many workers insured as possible. and the amen

nearly 41,000 san franciscans have enrolled in coverage california. this represents nearly 3 percent of the state wide enrollment. and although we represent about two percent. s and exceeded the department projections that developed by modeling development by ucberkeley that 36500 would enroll. at the same time, 40,000 san franciscos have enrolled in medical and this represents about 90 percent of our enrollment projections and it can continue through and does not have an open enrollment period and can continue at any time. so the universal healthcare council really was established to look at the intersection of the aca and the hcso and as a supervisor mentioned, there were several key principles that were defined under the council. and the key findings of the council were that both laws can co-exist, but that affordability concerns remained for some population and included a list of suggestions from the members of it is council and the department of public health has been implementing some of the uhc suggestions, for example, healthy san francisco el

how about if we talk to them about putting san franciscans to work? when they see that local, when they see that hat, when they see that hardhat they know more likely those people live in san francisco and some day you may need us. after the 1906 earthquake as i said to you on many occasions we built 575 7 earthquake shacks so that san francisco could have hope to rise from the ashes. you may need us again and right now and i don't deny everything that i have done for three decades has been about putting everybody to work, regardless of who you are. you want to go to work? you want to provide a decent standard of living for your family? let's go to work doing that. san franciscans are at a disadvantage with these jobs. commissioners you are in a position to impact that in a positive way. can't be just about the buildings. after all, what are the buildings for? it's about people. so hopefully you keep that in mind when you have discussions with those developers. i think you and again, happy mayday. it's hope for a better outcome, because black folks are

the injuring nut called the ground water supply project needs to be delayed until san franciscans know about it because the mix of ground water into san francisco's legendary high quality hetch hetchy water will reduce the quality off our water and very few people know about the decision. i consider myself a well-informed people but until i read an article in the commenter. i think just cop a coalition a the neighborhood and the employees of the law library and public library and persons working on the yes on b campaign. one person heard of the project and that person thought that the project was going to be limited to drought conditions but you know it's not true this project is going forward regardless of the drought conditions in normal years i urge you before you go forward with this project and have it backfire on you, please provide appropriate notice to all san franciscans you're changing the composition and quality of t

that's similar to work in the sewers seeing where the money needs to be spent for the help for san franciscans and follow-up that with a further sampling of another phrase and if approved and in the budget. our work as well is basically predicted upon we're a good neighbor but the way we operate daily so we try to keep the facility services available and work by opening the contractors center which lavender in december of last year that allows more bidders and more awareness of our work to help also long term covets to keep them as low as possible. our youth employment program is succession demonstrate when we talked about our projected 50 percent retirement gibts in our department. we have now only having a risk of retirement eligible of 40 percent because only 10 percent of our staff retired we have a critical operating position that needs additional preparedness to bring on new hires and have a pipeline for new hires for public service. this is part of american people overarching umbrella how we're reaching people of the aware of the opportunities through youth employment and school program

san franciscans are at a disadvantage with these jobs. commissioners you are in a position to impact that in a positive way. can't be just about the buildings. after all, what are the buildings for? it's about people. so hopefully you keep that in mind when you have discussions with those developers. i think you and again, happy mayday. it's hope for a better outcome, because black folks are less than 4% right now and that is the ugliest thing i could hope to see in my town. thank you. >> thank you, next speaker, please commissioners my name is dennis and i want to second what jim just said about hiring san franciscans and particularly those people of color in the city, who are not getting the jobs. but i rise only for another issue. for some months now, the press has talked a lot about and encouraged thinking of taking sports teams from oakland. now the warriors were once here, but they have been in oakland for a long time. i know that oakland is kind of considered some sort of second class area or secondary and not very important city f

consensus bureau said we speak many different languages and we're you'll san franciscans.obligation we've strongly felt was a good purpose of government and i joined board president chiu and supervisor kim and councilmember avalos will be here they have a late night meeting debating important issues i know each of the that have a very strong filipino and other asian the minority and latin populations in their district and certainly right here in this district a extremely strong presence and with the city comes to the clear obligation we must be able to make sure our vital services are ones that reach all our citizens when they have a language barrier by many who don't have english as the first rang indicate to the american survey under the under the circumstances keens bureau over 10 thousands of them reach the point they're not having english as they're first language we have to among services accessible to them. that means was we down for chinesespectro and spanish speaking residents we work with all our safety departments to make sure very have accurate information that

legislation and illustrate why it is needed because coverage california is not affordable for the many san franciscans who currently enrolled in the healthy san francisco coverage but eligible for coverage california. last fall i had the pleasure to train, 115 staff from the department of public health on how to enroll people in the coverage california, many have been working with the clinics and the population since the program began in 2007 and they know these patients very well, they were so excited to learn about the program and the prospect of helping people enroll. and well, when we got to the part of the training about the cost of the premiums, the cost of the co-pays and the cost of the deductibles their eyes got very wide. and mouths dropped open, and coverage california is significantly more expensive than the healthy san francisco program. and these staff knew that the first time they saw the sticker price that it was going to be unaffordable for their patients. staff who were very upset and even angry. they so wanted to be the bearer of the good news, and now they tell them that their cove

people want us to address the affordability issue this is a way to not go into the pocket of san franciscans whether people paying for parking or other means it is our responsibility to use our assets to be able to generate revenue when they have that ability. in terms of the wraps i know has on a sensitive issue we have more than 5 thousand vehicles we have cable cars and streetcars not boats. thirty 15 and thirty is a small percentage of a thousand there are fortune 50 wraps sometimes during the holidays with having we have more than 15 but to bring that revenue in the technology of the wraps is getting better to see out then to see in. i will provide information the muni logo is not obstructed by the wraps that was raised and the option for video technology something we've not used the technology frankly isn't there but with contract extension it could go into the point that he might want to have that it's a revenue generating revenue. i'm respectfully asking you to approve that those are important revenues and those are revenues that's not coming out of the pocket of san franciscans. our

the bond will improve muni performances to the corridors that san franciscans rely on and it will at the most basic level make muni faster and more reliable and those funds will improve the environment for people who walk and bike and improve safety ass at that time, intersection that will fund the pedestrian safety embarrassments like wider sidewalks and well-defined bike ways it's part of our city's 10 year capital plan that impacts pedestrian safety and improves the neighborhood and the geobond adds transportation into the strategic city. this investment will provide important benefits without costing our residents more like other bonds that have funded the libraries and fire stations this transportation bonds will not increase property takes. the city has responsiblyly made that part of issuing the new bones as those are paid off and it insures regular spending as representatives of our want respective neighborhoods we serve and hear what our constituents want. many of us have heard they want a deniable transportation network to get around the city. to date we've received feedbac

because i think that it is really difficult to get the people jazzed, to get san franciscans jazzed about the nuts and bolts about the transit improvements. and but, it is so important. to making the system function properly and maybe there is a way of kind of using this as an opportunity and a teachable moment, maybe. and to sort of generate, and enthusiasm for this type of project and because tap is one thing and this is the type of i, imagine, this is sort of an ongoing project that needs to be revise and improved upon. >> thank you. >> i think that the five limited pilot that we have out there right now which is saving people five to ten minutes a trip would be a great opportunity to have that kind of message. >> and i don't know if there is a way to coordinate with the department of the environment when it does sort of the commuter benefits to out reach. and where, we can say, where the department could maybe go to the folks and say, you know, i just wanted to let you know, that you know, if you, and i don't know, if you, and i don't know, maybe just a bit too complicated and go to t
