when sutter health took over st. luke's hospital from the episcopal church which founded it and operated it for 130 years, it promised to maintain the hospital's tradition of providing care for anybody, even if they had no money. the first thing sutter tried to do when it took over was to close down the hospital. it's failed at that. however, it did succeed in eliminating all of the psychiatric services. as you know, if you're a woman, you can't even have your baby at st. luke's now because that has been eliminated also. sutter health claims to be a nonprofit organization. i ask you, how many nonprofits do you know who pay their c.e.o. $4 million a year? is that obscene or what? if sutter can pay an administrator $4 million a year, why can it not afford psychiatric doctors and nurses at st. luke's hospital. i'll tell you the answer. sutter health primary priority is not adequate care for as many people as possible. it's priority is making money. sutter cannot make money from poor people patients. however, it can make

cpmc sutter promises to keep st. luke's open for 20 years, it proposes a small hospital that is less financially and politically viable. it reneged on the same promise of 20 years in the case of a hospital that sutter is now closing. the pharmacist jobs -- it promises of jobs for san franciscans, but it does not guarantee any rn a job with the new hospital. with the transfer rights in card checking in rides provided for workers not living in san francisco, current cpmc rn's may not have a job with the development agreement as-is. it fails to guarantee the jobs of its most experienced nurses, reduces license capacity, provides no means of service is guaranteeing the development agreement to the community that depends on an davies medical center, dybbuk its services at st. luke's in cathedral hill -- duplicates services at st. luke's and cathedral, does not have opposed acute facility, as limited a variety of services, and fails in the eir to properly consider alternatives that could provide greater access to services

sutter's obligation early on and i say sutter because they're in my mind who was in control on this one was to do the m.o.b. in the second phase. many of us did not trust them to do the development. the concurrent obligations solve that one quite well. i am very satisfied with that. on charity care, i am pleased -- let me put it this way. you go through the development agreement and read the entire thing a couple of times and realize without question that exhibits e, f, and g are where the meat of it is. there 10 times for lehman to read and make sense of than the development agreement itself. and went over and over and decided i will have to rely as we often do at the planning commission on what we consider credible experts in the field. i was very pleased to hear many of the comments of barbara garcia and also of kathriarin -- catherine dodd. i was pleased to hear she was in negotiations with the san francisco health plan. in my mind, those negotiations are extremely valuable. the city and county of san francisco, its employees constitutes a major employment sector of our population.

sutter, how can these 6200 jobs be guaranteed? sutter cannot or will not offer their nurses the backbone of the hospital the ones recognized as the most ethical professions in the country the right to work in the new hospital. to date, nurses do not have transfer rights. pat fry, have a heart. maybe one that you advertise and care about those who are caring for your patients. thank you. >> good evening, commissioners, eric brooks, i'm here representing the san francisco green party and also the local grassroots organization in our city. first, i would like to point out that this process would not have taken 10 years had sutter health sat down with the entire community and negotiated in good faith to reach consensus on all of the things that we're raising as problems with this thing. i would like to also start out by speaking to all the trade union members that were in here, the building trades. no one is talking about building less than 635 beds and hopefully we're talking about building more. what we're talking about is where and
