physician's organizing committee, and i am here to speak on behalf of a doctor, so this is his statement. supervisor mar: so, colleagues, it is there any objection to verse speaking for him? no? >> i used to refer many patients to st. luke's back what i had a full compliment of services. i am also a member of the positions organizing committee. these are medically inadequate. they continue the same policies. the babies are 2.5 times more likely to die there. it loses more children than any other is a good. the mission and excelsior also have significant numbers. the used to deliver 1300 babies per year, and yet, this eliminates inpatient pediatric at st. luke's. not to demonize anyone, but this is an era where a billionaire can buy an island and then sue his neighbors to cut their trees down so that he can have a better view of the race. this says so far proven unwilling to make sure they can have this commensurate with their $90 million in tax breaks. in 2001, cpmc made agreements to maintain the hospital at the levels it required that -- acquired it at. that is where we had a neonatal intensive care u

so much. supervisor mar: next speaker. >> i am presenting on behalf of dr. john. i am attending cycle -- i am attending psychiatrist. the city is ramming through the development agreement by jobs, jobs, jobs. public services are being slashed. if they are not willing to care for which ever patients walk in their door, they should be supplying much more generous set aside. in proposing to build two new general hospitals with more than 550 beds but no acute site facilities, they are expecting patience to be handled elsewhere. elsewhere means the streets or the county jail. the city is reassigning the nurse practitioner that held a critical function of transferring patients out of pysch emergency. these transfers are essential for patient care. this nurse practitioner manages madd's for 26 patients -- meds for 26 patients. these patients have been case managed by a social worker and the nurse practitioner. many of these are banned from other clinics. there is no provision for any replacement for her position. with the support of -- the state board of equalization to

so. chair mar: thank you very much for comments. next speaker? >> supervisors, i am president of the jackson square association, and i represent the residence, the merchants, and others in jackson square. we very much support this project. we especially liked the fact that there is a trade-off. this is what the whole communities will benefit from. this is especially for the merchants in the area. we think that overall it is a win/win situation, for the city and for the arts community. we hope you support the project. chair mar: thank you. it looks like this is the last speaker. >> party. i am charles. i am speaking on a narrow issue, which i think everyone agrees with, actually. the there are always trade-offs in medicine. obviously, the public will lose if the project goes ahead with certain things. the private sector will gain many things. we would have a replacement pool. there is no guarantee that anything will be built, for what is set aside for the pool area. they would not be restricted to recreational use. there is nothing there. this is

chair mar: thank you so much. next speaker. good afternoon, supervisors. i am in support of the 8 washington project. this will be part of redefining the waterfront. this is a collection of disconnected pockets of spaces, remnants of a demolished by way, and not yet contributing to the newly defined relationship between a world-class city and its waterfront. this addresses the dramatic height difference between the and bargainer -- embarcadero center and the buildings. by consolidating these and stepping down towards the embarcadero. on the density and streetscape, there is the terror -- terracing scheme. this is on the west side of the embarcadero, where we know that urban spaces are prone to fail without people. combining copy shops and restaurants with public open spaces would ensure the streetscapes at various times of the day, and lastly, the existing athletic center could move into the new one, supporting the relationship. on a city scale, this would benefit from the public spaces that replace these. and this contributes to a larger urban experience.

supervisor mar: thank you so much. next speaker. >> i am a resident of san francisco. i am the vice president van ness corridor association. we are talking about jobs. i am not sure if 40 over five years matters very much, but there are over 18 hotels within 2 miles of this project. that is going to create more jobs than the guarantees on the table. individual restaurants, bars, the people -- it will be incredible for the dead zone. it is important to revitalize this area of town. it is an important corridor. our goal is to help revitalize this corridor. the jobs that will be created are going to be entry-level jobs, waiters, waitresses, housekeeping staff, those kinds of jobs. they're going to come from the neighborhood, the tenderloin, mich., those areas. it is very important. -- the tenderloin, mission, those areas. it is very important. supervisor mar: thank you, next speaker. >> thank you for giving me this opportunity to speak on the support of the rebuild of the hospital. i am a local business owner. this construction is vital to the corner of and job creation.

supervisor mar: thank you so much. colleagues, i am going to jump into public comment. two minutes per person. there is a buzzer that goes off. please try to stay within time limits, if possible. i am going to call people in bunches of 10, but if people could live up on the left side, that would really help. jessica, james, jesse, tony, and [unintelligible] [reads names] >> good afternoon, supervisors, city staff, and supervisors. you have heard a number of recommendations for changes to be made. what you have heard so far are recommendations that can be implemented right away. these are urgently needed, given the concerns over health and safety. we urge you to take action in the days and weeks. by improving contacts and pursuing other changes, i have several other recommendations that might take more time. more targeted outreach to seniors and adults with disabilities in sro's, as well as access to services to make sure that seniors have access to in home affordable options and other services. we would also like to see increased disaster planning. over the long term, w

because we are so grateful to mayor lee, supervisor mar, supervisor chu, olague, for your continuous support for the adult day services in the adult community. as you know, providing services to the seniors, providing an opportunity for them to continue to stay with their family, spending quality time, instead of going to a nursing home or other institutions. as you know, in the last year,

supervisor mar: thank you so much. ms. simmons. >> at thank you, supervisors. i am from oewd. i am going to talk a little bit more in detail on the work force portion of this agreement, as i have been working closely with all the parties involved. so the first caveat for me is to clarify a few things around the work force policy that we have used on this project. this project does not fall under local hire, so that is actually a mistake. it falls under our first source policy could a it is considered a first source, which is all are privately funded projects fit in terms of the legislation and the laws that we used to get san franciscans employed. it is chapter 83 in our code, and it really speaks to economically disadvantaged residents. so that is sort of the framework, if you will, that we have said our work force program under. ideally, we are trying to create career pathways for san franciscans that may not otherwise have those jobs that are much more entry-level focused. we have tried to strengthen some partnerships with the city through our training academies, with our p

so done. supervisor mar: mr. chairman, if i may again thank all of the members of the public for being here. if i may just add something about ms. johnson, i think it is appropriate. our pedestrian safety legislation is the last item that she will be sitting in on as a clerk. i do not know what the city is going to be doing without her, but we wish her the best of luck. it has been an honor for me to work with someone who is such a part of the institution. supervisor olague: i want to wish you the best and thank you for all of your help. i was recently appointed in january, and you have been very gracious and nights, and i want to say thank you for that. i hope you enjoy your free time now. i want to wish you the best. i'm sure you will be busier than you have been in the past 30 something years. thank you very much. supervisor campos: i was just going to thank you for way more than three decades of serving san francisco. it has been a pleasure working with you as well. thank you. supervisor avalos: it has been an honor to work with you. i recall a few times where i am going home at 9:30 p.m

operating companies and did so because they respected the rights of workers to join the union and preserve their jobs and accomplished level working conditions in the city. supervisor mar: and the cma workers talked about that, so local two is supportive of that? >> absolutely. there's no question that is the most effective way for workers to realize their right to join a union. supervisor mar: thank you. next. >> thank you, supervisors. i am is civil engineering student at san francisco state. i am here today to voice my support for the rebuild cpmc project. throughout the day, we have heard concerns raised by many individuals and parties, and particularly the nurses. i want to say that i understand and sympathize with those concerns, and i think most people in this room share that sentiment. but we need to understand that with the product of this scope and size, not every part involved will receive everything they ask for, and certain invest -- concessions will need to be made. what i can say is that the city's health care infrastructure is hopelessly and prepared for major seismic event in the future, and it is slightly alarming to me that when a natural disaster st

mar: no. thank you for the thoughtful comments. thank you so much to the reverend and mike for being here. president chiu: supervisor mar has made a motion with the requisite commendatory finding. seconded by supervisor campos. i understand i need to take public comment. is there any public comment on whether we should adopt this resolution? public comment is closed. take their role on the motion. supervisor kim: aye. supervisor mar: aye. supervisor olague: aye. supervisor wiener: aye. supervisor avalos: aye. supervisor campos: aye. president chiu: aye. supervisor chu: aye. supervisor cohen: aye. supervisor elsbernd: aye. supervisor farrell: aye. there are 11 ayes. president chiu: thank you. resolution is adopted. let's go to the 4:00 p.m. special order. colorado items 21 through 24. >> they comprise the special order of 4:00 p.m. for a public hearing of persons interested in the decision of the planning department dated april 9, 2012. the project is located at 601 dolores street. item 22 is affirming the exemption determination. item 23 is the motion reversing the determination. item 24 is
