up until this week, they were unable to provide us with staffing plan for the hospital. this should be elementary and should have been done long before now. after all, we knew when the hospital was opening. we had a count down clock in our lobby so we knew when the hospital was going to open. it wasn't new. it didn't just happen. from our vantage point, we had to point cpmc just to keep from closing saint lukes, i've been testifying here 10 years about keeping saint lukes open, it's not new. we fought plans to shut down vital services such as sniff and sub acute. it's more than ironic they boast about their center of exens after moving the units that would help aging patients transitioning from hospitallation. it was nice they had a block party and it was instagram able moments but we have patients to take care of and the hospital needs to be staffed. we ask that the commissioners hold a special meeting focuses on the transition of the hospital with the focus on patient safety practices, including safe staffing for the transition period and beyond. >> next speaker, pleas

we need more staffing, we need help. we do have r.n.'s, and they are also in the same position as we are. they're saying the minimum is two r.n.'s on these shifts. but we have a population, maybe of -- for the whole county jails, a population of maybe 1300 inmates, and we don't have the proper r.n.'s in there as well as l.v.n.'s, so we need help. we are asking to add additional representation so we have staffing. we are asking for additional positions where there's four l.v.n. positions, six r.n. positions that we can fill. we are asking for nor requisitions to fill the staffing that we need. no, county jail two do not have as much staff as county jail five, but our accruity is please higher, so we're asking that you consider our proposal that you're also seeing there to help us. thank you. >> thank you. >> good evening, everyone. my name is elaine samuels. i'm an l.v.n. at c.j.-2, and i've been an l.v.n. for 40 years. we deal with clients with multiple medical problems, psych problems. we deal with clients with psycho social problems, s

that they have changed their training requirements, their staffing models. they now have more than one person at each point so random checks, but that is not at all the contract that's before you. that is the federal government's contract with covenant. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. you said the r.f.p. is issued and the decision made next month. >> our plan is to go to the airport commission in october to award a new contract for these services. >> supervisor fewer: ok. thank you very much. >> president cohen: all right. thank you. let's hear from the budget legislative analyst on item 7. >> legislation before you is actually retroactive approval of the emergency contract. we do want to say and we did put in our report the airport did submit the legislation to the board in the time frame reared by the admin code. miss widener has summarized the contract, $1.7 million emergency contract through october 5th. our understanding, and they have been in the process of selecting a new contractor and recommend approval. >> president cohen: we'll take that

should patients first and staff up during the transition period until the dust settles, however we staffed up for one woke and now we're going straight on regular ahead. it's been incredibly disruptive much it's unan fortunate occasion or lack of serious patient plan on the planning of cpmc. we urge the commissioners to discuss the important matters of patient safety that emerge in the hospital transitions. before cpmc repeats the same mistake in the opening of van ness, sutter meets t needs to pd and anticipate the moves on the patients and staff. for an example,s we were told by h.r. there would be no impact of the move of our unit to mission bernal, however, now the nurses on 4 north and 5 north have a lower pay. they're loosing jobs by loosing shifts. let me see. i have a couple more comments -- >> experienced at st. luke's. we expect that cpmc would listen to the nurses as you know suspend their practice of you will extra lean staffing for a generous period of time while they have adapted to the new hospital. which it's many layers of changes from our previous environment. instead, cp

so, they are fairly critical responsibilities that need to be staffed full-time. we are almost finished with the request for proposals process and it will go to the commission for award in, at a meeting next month. >> that simple, huh? wonderful. thank you for the presentation. >> supervisor fewer: yes, i just have a question, you know, june 2017 covenant employees were, which were t.s.a. agents pled guilty to taking bribes and letting 50 pounds of cocaine go through security. so, therefore, abetting smuggling. how have the hiring practices changed? >> i just want to be clear, i can address that. but that contract with those employees, that's the t.s.a. contract with covenant, that is not this contract. that is not our -- the contract before you does not provide any passenger screening at all, where those incidents took place at the t.s.a. checkpoints. so, since that

it ended that staffing plan on monday. >> i don't see a difference in bart.rite it every day. >> there still incidents. this past saturday, bart officials say 59-year-old jamar coleman, her a passenger at the macarthur station. and then there's video surveillance of coleman which led to an arrest by oakland police on thursday. >> we were able to leverage our surveillance technology. with the great work of our detectives and officers. >> there was a difference but with the added patrols, although shifts are over for now, they're not going back to normal staffing. instead, there will be standard 24 officers working, and two other specialized units. including an technical assistance team. >> downtown oakland and downtown tampa cisco. with the k-9 officers that are visible to the public as well. >> paul chambers, fox 2 news . >>> the president says he wants to help workers and small businesses save for retirement. he signed a executive order that sets up new roles allowing small businesses to pool their resources to offer 401(k)s. and instructs the government to

we are technically actually are at full police staffing, except that was at levels designed in 1994. i'm proud to have the police officers association union endorsement, and there are other things that we can do. like miss basan said, there's organized crime of this. most car break-ins are by people who do this again and again and again. wherever you are on prop 47 aside, if you have -- someone's part of a crime ring like this, you are missing the point. we need to punish people who are serial car breakers. >> thank you very much. mr. murphy? >> i believe in community based policing, not broken windows policing. stable communities are safe communities. my street used to have 40 families on it, 40 families. now there's, like, six. airbnb complaints on both ends of the street. so we need to stablize our communities, and i earlier mentioned a number of ways we can do that. in terms of tourism, i think what we're headed toward is another sort of generia, with little pockets of san francisco that's recognizable, like the painted ladies and the golden gate bridge. i'd like to preserve the

i would like to update the public on where we are with staffing. we are currently 96% staffed, and we are working rapidly to fill the vacancies. we've filled over 800 certified positions this summer. our human resources department in partnership with school leaders and with lead is hard at work to ensure that our remaining vacancies are staffed with high quality candidates. this summer, our district facilities division has been working hard to ensure that all schools are clean, safe, and ready for instruction by monday. i want to share some of the highlights we have. custodial services has completed deep cleaning at all sites. all of our custodians have received their assignments for this school year. school major bond funded construction projects were in project this year at six sites. construction will continue into september but all sites will be open and ready for the start of the new school year. new traditions elementary, alvarado, alternative, and -- new alternative, and jefferson all received new led lighting this summer. the new building l

we have an incredible staffing problem. i think our veterans kept their promises to the people of this nation and it is far past time for the nation to keep their promises to the veterans. i have been working extremely hard to find and identify a lot of money that goes out in new facilities being built but we are not putting proper staffing in there. as far as the veterans in southwest montana, it still has not broken ground. when i served in the legislature, there was not federal funds available. i work in good faith with other legislatures to make sure we can provide funds at the state level. as many of you know, federal funds are unreliable and are heavily restricted. i tried to make sure that we could get those funds at the state level to start construction on that. >> will move to the open discussion on our current topic of it veterans care. we will have sen. tester: started. sen. tester: i think it is amazing that we are here. he voted against funding for the southwest montana veterans home. the funding was absolutely
