for example, the california nurses association would like to appeal consistency. do they have the ability to appeal? >> the legislation says any person may file an appeal. >> so an individual from the group could. if the conditional use permit is unanimously approved, if the ceqa documents are unanimously approved, it would not matter if there was an argument that there was no consistency? in other words, you could have three things appealed to the board -- conditional use gets approved, environmental doctrine gets approved, the six board members find that there's not consistency, the project has to go back to figure out how to find consistency. is that fair? it is not as if one of these appeals could trump the other. they are all equal. >> supervisors, the legislation in section 342.6 says that the board of supervisors may reverse the decision, and that decision is final. there is no discussion as to what actions would come next, but theoretically, an applicant could go back and change the project application in order to address the concerns and achieve consistenc

the california nurses association, the cathedral hill neighbors, community housing partnership, and others that are also a part of the coalition for health planning. in terms of why this legislation is needed, i don't want to belabor what has been said before, when it was first introduced at the board, there's been a lot of work around health care planning that has been done by individuals like the chairwoman, superviser maxwell, who has done a lot of great work on this. we have also assembly member tom and from our perspective we believe that this adds to that work and it builds upon what has already been accomplished. and the reason is that right now there is no mechanism in place as we're being asked to make decisions and to land use context for taking into consideration the health care implications of some of those projects. and if i may, i just want to echo actually, point out some comment wes heard from the planning commission, which is the one that's being asked to decide on some of these project -- projects. thank you. it's being zod decide on these projects. this is commissioner s

we want to thank you supervisor campos for the initiation of this legislation and the california nurses association is a big champion of health care for everybody regardless of ability to pay. and we need some of the effect of the health care reform that are a little bit overstated. one of the things that is likely to be with the international health care reform is people will have the health care whenever and wherever they need it. there may be other changes but national health care does not meet the need for health care planning. this legislation is not actually that radical. there are places all over the state where local government and counties are using land use to promote through using general plans for healthy communities and bike lane and open spaces and there are a lot of plans in communities incorporated in health care services and city development requirements and there is some really interesting things in the city of richmond in this very area. they have done this in the past in san francisco and the city of san francisco should use all the policy pools available including land use to p

anonymous source tells the "chronicle" that nikki diaz santillan reached out to a friend of the california nurses associationnurses union then put her in touch with an attorney. santillan says whitman knew for years that she was in the country illegally. >>> the city of oakland will soon offer municipal id cards to people of who have trouble getting state ids. this is similar to a san francisco program which issues cards to homeless people and undocumented immigrants. but oakland's id cards will be even more useful. the tribune says that they are going to be doubling as atm cards. at this point it's not clear when the program will begin. >>> a napa woman is calling a well-known mural offensive. it's over what's portrayed on the napa mill mosaic and fountain. emily bristow just noticed there is an image that depicts kkk rallies that were held in the area in the 1930s. well, the artist wouldn't comment but supporters of the artwork say the image is part of region's history and deserves to be there. >> if it's a part of our napa history and this is about napa, that's kind of how i feel, that it's -- it's -- it'

california nurses association for planning. we have not had a position one way or another in terms of extension four pipeline projects. we are willing to defer to the wishes of the planning commission. you should be aware that, not to be overly concerned about the -- on the issue of the seismic deadline, the hospital industry has consistently lobbied for extensions to those same seismic deadlines, most recently through sb 289, which was narrowly targeted. to the extent that cmpc was recently willing to play fast and loose with seismic exemptions. i would not be too rev. toward them. on the other issue, we would oppose defining in the master planning process what private sector entity should be part of the health care plan in process. of course, the provider should be involved, but should it be the hospital council? should it be the clinic? should it be unions representing the workers? should it be community advocates? everybody should be involved, and we do not want to start listing that in the legislation. finally, we have been through this legislation process. it is not specifically about c bmc. it is about health care with everyone. we are in di
