as you know, san francisco general hospital is the only trauma hospital in san francisco, and it treats everyone. the reason i asked dr. campbell to join us today is to express our gratefulness to him and his service for district 10, but to give. whenever one of our constituents gets shot, this is the doctor pulling of the bullets and stitching them up and educating them on how their life has value. this is the man. i brought him here today said you can take a look and understand what exactly -- what a life saver looks like. so i am deeply grateful for dr. campbell and the enormous impact he has. as just one individual on our whole entire community. i am very proud to honor him today. do you have any words you would like to briefly share with us? >> yes, i had a few words. first of all, thank you so much for that very kind introduction. it was extremely moving. members of the board of supervisors and distinguished guests, i would like to thank supervisor cohen for the recognition of my in fact as a surgeon, for my contributions to my community. i am honored and humbled that i had been s

and support, thank you very much from the bottom of my heart, that you believe that the san francisco general hospitaly in need the heart of the city and county of san francisco. thank you very much for being here today. [applause] i mean that in so many ways. the hospital is available to everybody. every community of this great city. it has a trauma center. how many other centers -- cities have its own trauma center? a trauma center that is world famous, that gets the job done and saves lives. it is the only hospital in san francisco with 24-hour psychia [applause] something that i will possibly in roll in after this year. [laughter] over 100,000 patients get through the doors of the general every single year. so whether you are in a car accident or whether something happens that you did not control, you can believe we have the best performing trauma center for the whole bay area. it is a hospital that reflects our very san francisco values of caring for our fellow citizens and leaving no one behind. the people you are about to hear about today will be people that displays the courage, the perseveran

from my 20-year experience at san francisco general hospital, the technology part of my job was pretty much in the dinosaur era. a lot of my friends in the police department have wore me out listening to their complaints about their lack of technology in the police field. i hear it is improving recently. in regards to serving the community, for using this money, since it is in the millions of dollars, i would like to make a controversial suggestion and see where it goes from here. according to my work experience at san francisco general hospital, it is a sad commentary that much of the time he used by city employees using city in -- computers has been underutilized. one of the things that i would like to point out, which many consider a taboo subject, is how much pornography actually flows through the city's various computers during the workday. i have a suspicion the comptroller's office has some information in regards to that, but i do not know for sure. i think it is proper to maybe do an investigation using this grant money, to see how much actual pornography flows through the city

exist and we are only shortchanging the needy and helpless people in san francisco by not looking into san francisco general hospital. obviously, i do not have to say anything about laguna honda hospital, even though, to my amazement, that the district supervisor consistently refuses to issue any written statement in regards to laguna honda hospital. having an asian head will not hide the problems there. supervisor chu: thank you. next speaker please. >> i heard that there is not much money in the controller's budget, i was told all that is left is a band of gold and the memories of the money that was there. i hope that you really care. supervisor chu: seeing none, public comment is closed. -- is there anyone from the public that would like to comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. do we have a motion to file this item? without objection. item to police. -- two please.>> item 2. resolution authorizing the department of juvenille probation to retroactively accept and expend a grant in the amount of $159,000 from the zellerbach family foundation to support the department of juvenile probation's o

secondly, i would like to have some sort of monitoring @ san francisco general hospital under the previous administration, it was easily know that there was so much waste of resources. since i worked there, for 20 years, i have the facts. i do not think there is anybody going to dispute the facts. also, two other items i but to bring before the committee for possible action is the obvious female slave trade, with san francisco being one of the main focal points, especially illegal use of immigrant women. also, it has been pointed out to me for a long time about the ongoing pornography trade in san francisco, especially the unfortunate development of child porn. i must commend the police department for finally completing an investigation into a serious porn allegation that might have involved child pornography at san francisco general hospital. also, i would like to mention that this committee needs to really step forward. citizens really demand a lot more than what we have gone in the past few years. thank you. supervisor campos: thank you very much. is there any other member of the public

our agency started at san francisco general hospital over 20 years ago to ensure healthy outcomes for immigrant, asian, and pacific island women with newborns through in -- to in- home case management. would provide a broad spectrum of services for families and children. we are partners with the bayview health center that is operated by cpmc. may ho was apa's former executive director. she supported the panel's recommendation and cpmc's plans to rebuild st. luke's hospital. the thing i want to emphasize is that health care is approaching 20% of our economy. we need to be concerned about the availability of the best of care to our residents and say, state of the art environments. san francisco can't afford to let this large part of the city's economy risk liability. in fact, this rebuild will likely be a key economic generator, a tide that will lift all boats. in fact, the recent affordable care act means much of the nation's 50 million uninsured will have access to affordable care, and means we will have facilities to care for them. we believe the plan before you will help meet the ne

million in 2008. >> it came down to whether or not -- it was ant matter of us rebuilding san francisco general hospitale question was is there going to be a san francisco general hospital. >> reporter: it's the same technology that allowed many high-rise buildings in japan to sway but not break in the earthquake. it's something california hospitals will have to do if we are to avert disaster when and not if the next big one hits. garvin thomas, "today in the bay." >> we have much who ahead coming up on "today in the bay," still to come, lefty wants to be your right hand guy, we'll get to know our adoptable pet coming up. u u >> right now in america, one out of four children doesn't know where their next meal is coming from. >> food insecurity is a growing problem in the united states. >> tune in march 19th at 7:30 p.m. on nbc to see child hunger ends here: ll special report. spa >>> we are back this morning with some special guests from the humane society silicon valley. we have elizabeth and lefty who's -- i like lefty because he's a little gray at the temples like me, a little experience. >> he's abo

san francisco their water is safe? >> yes. >> i have another minor remark about water -- was at a lunch for san francisco general hospital and they served water. i was horrified. when the likes of barbara walters can come up and say no more bottled water and some money restaurants and caterers are doing that now. i think that was a terrible oversight and should not be served that way. >> i was at a tent in union square and they did not serve bottled water. they had pictures and glasses, so maybe somebody got that message. >> in a similar vein, we had an award ceremony called h-2 of solutions that gives prizes for water, wastewater energy, the black gold discussion we add at our ocean plant, the pilot we are doing for turning black grease and dark brown greece into biofuel was one of the finalists in that. the celebration was at a facility in san francisco that said they had to serve bottled water because their water was not good enough to serve. we went down there and help them slash the pipes. since they did not use water, they had never washed the pipes out. after doing that, they were able to serve regular tap water for t

general is culturally sensitive. does a hospital have to be there? do we have to gauge the constituen constituents? >> i would think that's the best approach and san franciscoeneral, you have seen the hearts campaign from the foundation. we call ourselves and i hope it's a good description the heart of the city and we feel strongly that the people that work in the hospital need to understand that people that get care at the hospital. for example, in my department it's a small department of pediatrics, i think 80% of the providers speak a language including english. a second language that meets the needs of the patients a lot of people that work in my department live in the mission or the hills around the area. i think for us and i can't speak for every single person, but i think in general the people that work at san francisco general work there because of the commitment to the community. >> we have a few seconds and i want to talk about heroes and community and i was one of them. there were several others and i was the one of the ones who go above and beyond. one of the components that led my colleagues to nominate me, we had an epidemic in california of p

>>reporter: the 17 year-old was taken to san francisco general hospital and. the c h p is investigating why he jumped. was this a suicide attempt? was this a hoax? jump? there were statements made by witnesses and the students that for all of the bridge are saying that he jumped as some part of a joke or a hoax. and to water 20 ft.! that is how far he fell from the golden gate bridge 220 ft.. the golden feet district spokesperson as saying that it is very rare for somebody to survive and as those with only just bombs and bruises. they're speaking to even more people. bob'and if they could speak to the parents? they could possibly find out what provoked him from jumping off a bridge. > >>pam: take mentioned that the 17 year-old was taken here. kate mentioned that he was taken here with no injuries but perhaps a broken ankle. we're also being told that he could go undergo a mental evaluation. perhaps if he is suicidal? it would be standard operating procedure. he was taken to san francisco general immediately. over to water 20 ft. they wanted to give him a full

thank the sfpd juvenile unit for conducting investigation into pornography allegations on san francisco general hospital. i think that pornography is banned under reported crime in san francisco, and i have a feeling that it is abuse other illegal activities. my final comment is the open court examiner" has an article on today's crops. -- the "examiner" has an article on today's cops. supervisor mirkarimi: thank you. any other public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. thank you, captain, for the updated information, and we look forward to seeing you again soon. want to remind the audience that next week, there will be a special meeting on the ninth regarding community policing and legislation being advanced to discuss what the legislative definition of community policing may be. we expect a good community interface in that meeting as well. madam clerk, do we have any other business? >> no, mr. chairman. supervisor mirkarimi: thank you very much. this meeting is adjourned. >> the committee would like to acknowledge the staff at sfgov .tv who broadcast t meetings and made the transcripts avai

a fire department dispatcher says that the victim was taken to san francisco general hospital. it appears the bus struck the bicyclist. >>> the san bruno fire chief appeared before a panel today. as carol hawn reports, he had no idea that a major pipeline ran to the city until after it exploded. >> we did not know that there was a transmission line through the city. >> the fire chief told investigators that prior to last september, pg&e was not open with information or specific training tips on how to deal with its gas pipeline. >> obviously the situation on september 9 was not something we could ever imagine but it does give us some opportunity to draw up scenarios, look at evacuations. >> the bottom line he told investigators and us, it would not have changed the emergency response. >> the first report came in as an airliner down. that was our response. if it was a natural gas line break it would have been the same response. >> reporter: pg&e says it has share information with the city but is it the company's failure -- that is the company's failure to share information that c

san francisco killed a man from richmond. he was shot several times. he later died at san francisco general hospital. a second victim is also in the hospital, but his injuries injuries are not life life- threatening. they do not know what prompted the shooting. >>> screaming teens, drag queens, and thousands of dedicated fans poured into downtown san francisco today to see a pop singer perform for free. >> more than 500 people came to see britney spears today. the long lines didn't seem to damper their enthusiasm. some say they waited for years to see britney perform live. >> i love britney spears. i'm so excited she's in san francisco. >> i've never seen her either. i'm really excited about it. >> we love britney. >> well, britney performed three songs. because the show is being taped for a television show, there were 23 minutes before the show. tickets were gone in just 14:00. >>> well, another milestone in the fight for libya. nato assumes command in the skies, but just when will operation libya be complete? >>> more showers showing up around the bay area today. they continue right now, but there'

san francisco. i think it is the responsibility of this committee to make sure the two main hospitals, laguna honda and san francisco general, have -- does not waste money as it has in the past and i would like to refer to the 2003 performance audit on financial resources at san francisco general hospital. i'm wondering whether one will be done for laguna honda hospital now. thank you. supervisor chu: are there other members of the public that wish to comment on item number four? public, disclosed. we have eight recommendations to send this. we will doubt objection. >> item #5, resolution of proving a first amendment to a memorandum of understanding between the city and county of san francisco, the city of oakland, the city of san jose, the county of alameda and the county of santa clara that establishes a governance structure and procedures for application, allocation, and distribution of federal urban areas and security initiatives grant funds to the bay urban area to extend the term authorizing the executive director department of emergency management to execute on behalf of the city. >> this would extend the mou for six

existed at laguna honda, and attended to consolidate the finance director function with the san francisco general hospital, for both hospitals and the controller function also. when we discovered in that process, while many of the accounting activities at laguna honda are fairly static, not that difficult to manage, there is a need for a greater finance presence around issues such as this. in many cases, detailed transactions do not get the oversight they need. so we now have a finance director position included in our budget for laguna honda on an ongoing basis separate and apart from san francisco general. we also have a senior financial analyst to assist in that management. both of these are new positions that did not exist prior to a year ago. we were able to bring those positions in, in connection with the rebuild, as part of the transition budget, and now we are working with the mayor's office, comptroller's office, to make sure that that is part of a new honda. as i said before, we feel very badly about the errors we made and are concerned about the impression it can leave with the public, people w

major progress, to capital construction projects for san francisco general hospital rebuild and day construction of audit of the top and park. we have the redevelopment agency and to management audits, one that mta for sustainable streets and one for affordable housing. we have a final payroll audit of human services agency. it is our endeavor to conduct to payroll audits each year and at least 12 city-wide cash transaction of its yearly. we also have other audits in the special review that are ongoing. currently, we have 37 audits in progress. there are some audits we will not complete this year. if you look at our audit plan on the web site or what you have in your hand, we will not complete our audit simply because we have had the federal agencies come in and audit mta and audit the airport in very poor -- in various organizations in the city. our desire is not to duplicate efforts, therefore we will follow-up on the audits in various organizations this year. we will be postponing our at&t contract audit due to the fact that our i.t. department will be revamping that particular contract. we w

have all the financial wizards in this room right now, we should deal with the bond at san francisco general hospital, and hopefully, that will not cost over $1 billion. i feel that the redevelopment agency has not performed as well as advertised and the money should be used elsewhere. thank you. >> thank you very much. are there any other members of the public who wish to speak on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. just a question for redevelopment. you had mentioned that we are going to go -- we got the official statements out, printed for the sale of your amd's. do you know what the total value of that aggregate issuance is? >> the numbers all run together in my head. i think it is going to be under $70,000 total. i forget the numbers, but it is under $70 million total. supervisor chu: you mentioned that you anticipate going out again for a c adn d series? >> $100 million total, i believe. supervisor chu: the $70 million we are talking about right now is part of c and d? >> yes. supervisor chu: do you anticipate going to the market for altogether? >> we were in a market already beca

it does not matter whether it is other clinics or san francisco general or private health care. it is one of the best hospitals here in san francisco. the service and the care given at lyon-martin is exceptional. it is completely respectful and proactive. i think someone used that word. i have had the medical staff of lyon-martin treatment concern seriously when i expressed those same concerns to medical staff in other institutions in san francisco and it was a question of, "there are limited resources, and unless it is a critical need right now we are going to have to avoid it." that never made sense to me. if you ignore something, it only becomes critical. i felt like other health care providers were waiting for me to become incapacitated before there would address something. it is the opposite at lyon- martin. they are very proactive. the other thing i would say is a think it is critical that lyon- martin for many reasons. one is that there will not turn you away if you are unable to pay. and that is an attitude that they are clear about their. -- there. it is not as clear in other city-funded health care s

not a matter of us rebuilding the hospital, it was a matter of is there going to be a san francisco general hospitalructure to float through an earthquake. the many technology that allowed many high-rise buildings in japan to sway but not break in the earthquake. something california hospitals will have to do if we are to avert disaster when, and not if, the next big one hits. >> one of the other findings of that california watch investigation is that while hospitals and governments knew of the dangers to some buildings, workers and patients were generally in the dark about the situation. senator alquist drafted legislation to post warning signs outside all high-risk hospital buildings. >>> the bay area is certainly getting hit with wild weather. nick o'kelley joins us with a look at more to come. >> yeah, i know, a crazy week. we had the tornado, the waterspout, the hail this morning, and the fun's not over yet. there's another punch to this storm system coming our way. not terribly cold outside. thanks to a very strong south-to-southeast wind which is gathering strength right now. southeast at 22

this is really trying to address some of the remaining needs of at san francisco general hospital. we have building 5, which is actually the koran hospital which will need to be re- purpose. we have 1 across the street, which is another seismically vulnerable building that has had issues that need some addressing, as well, and then we have neighborhood parks and open space, and that will be the third bond coming up in 2020, and then another earthquake safety bond. this is a way to sort of address their needs and do some long- term planning. the next slide shows the impact on tax rates, and we are committed to make sure we do not go beyond the 2006 tax rate. this showed you that we are working closely with the comptroller's office of finance. it is really vital to us that we are keeping tax rates constant. this does assume the overall value in our city, which will be growing. we assume they will be growing at about 4.5%. historically, they have grown as high as 6% or 7%, so we believe that that is something that is prudent, and that is something that we're watching that could change

san francisco hospital. it was a matter of is there going to be a san francisco general hospital? >> reporter: what will stand here is a building using base isolation technology, allowing the structure to float its way through an earthquake. it's the same technology that allowed many high-rise buildings in japan to sway but not break in the earthquake. something california hospitals will have to do if we are to avert disaster when and not if the next big one hits. one of the other disturbing findings of the california watch investigation was that while hospitals and governments knew of the dangers to some buildings, people who work there were generally in the dark about the situation. senator alquist drafted legislation to draft warning signs. >>> up next, the ultimate expression ofltfuy. th loyalty. the japanese dog refusing to leave his injured friend. or 20 dollars off on the spot earn 5 storewide! and, unlike other stores, we don't make you come back to save. get up to $20 off with no exclusions! we make it affordable. you make it yours. jcpenney. and started earning loads of

investigated publicly for how it handled the public fund for the patients, and also, san francisco general hospital needs to have further audits based on juvenile police department investigation into pornography allegations on work computers at the hospital. i would like to thank the police department for doing that. also, i would like to cite three different articles on those two subjects. on the subject of pornography, there was an article dated march 8, and the headline reads, "sec employees in denver busted for looking at foreign -- looking at porn." locally, there was an article in "sfgate" with the headline reading "ex-cub scout leader sentenced in child porn." on subject finances for medicare, there was a headline on yahoo!'s news dated february 17, talking about medicare scams worth $225 million. this was something that was described as a massive, nationwide bust that snared more suspects than any other in history. i think those items need to be included in the work for this committee. in regards to the committee in terms of audit and oversight, i had a long discussion with the supervisor w

doctor, we had growth in our orthopedic area with a unique partnership between ucsf and san francisco general hospital. there were nine hired to maintain and sustain health care as well as an o.b. and specialty services that dr. browner mentioned are also expanded in our area and future growth, we have a fuel service community hospital now and we will continue to have one. there will be an increased capacity in the e.r., labor and derivativery. -- delivery. thank you for your consideration. >> thank you, president tierney, president olague and members of the health and planning commissions. my name is -- -- and i have worked at cpmc as a residential care steapt for nine years. i am a member of a union and a -- i have spent most of my life doing patient care. you can say that it is my calling. i learned how to do this work when i was 17 years old. and as an orphan in the philippines. through this work, i have been blessed to be able to earn a living for myself and to raise my jounger sister. the care takes a lot of tenderness for patients with alzheimers disease. our patients require our utmost respect

san francisco general hospital was funded and is under this category. but we of several other structures throughout the city that are vulnerable, most notably the hall of justice, where korea of 800 prisoners and 900 prisoners sitting on top of that structure. there is disability access, another very important feature of the capital plan. we fully fund our ata program -- ada program. it is a critical feature of all of the programs we do, as it is mandated by the federal government. whenever we touch a building, typically, we are making significant ada improvements, and that goes with parks and other things. we are still differing $694 million. there are various other improvements at, such as the library, the branch library improvement program, in some of the others. the next slide gives you a sense of where we are with respect to where we are and what we are deferring in the pay as you go situation. you can see it is a little difficult to see because of the scale. this is still outside of the 10- year capital plan. this is assuming we are going to grow

i am a trauma surgeon at san francisco general hospital, assistant professor [unintelligible] i strongly support rebuilding st. luke's. our group provides all the tractor care and much of the orthopedic care. st. luke's provides the key resources, capacity, and services to provide care for all the people of san francisco. we know the burden placed by services. without st. luke's, it will be less capable in delivering care for those of in need. at st. luke's orthopedic group alone, there have been over 200 surgical procedures since the beginning of 2010. we are also able to treat many injured -- many self-insured patients. many in the community could not access other hospitals. as a result, we feel it is vital to remain to hospitals and to emergency departments in the south of market area. thank you. >> hello. [unintelligible] cpmc has a wide range of in our mental impact that must be mitigated under law. there are mitigation requirements that must be implemented through ceqa and cpmc's master plan. cpmc lacks significant implementation enforcement for mitigation by enforceable agreements
