the time sheets. and it will take longer for providers to be paid. now some things that are the same, paychecks are still issued within ten working days from the time that the facility receives the time sheet. that is also true today when we have to have ten days to process a time sheet from the day we receive the time sheet. and paychecks will still be mailed as they are today from sacramento. so it takes two additional days for the paychecks to be mailed. however, the system -- the new system will take longer for providers to be paid, because when the system changes first of all, we have downtime, when the system changes over. so there is going to be three working days where no one will be able to enter anything into the system or change anything in the system at all. and then it will take longer for paychecks to be mailed to chico than it is to just mail within san francisco. also the computer, when it can't read the images that are on the new time sheets, it will send an electronic image back here to san francisco to our office, and we will have t

so for the take aways, it provided us an opportunity for real exchange and interaction. the military has a lot of capability and sometimes we don't always know how best to modify that in an appropriate response and being able to get together and practice the situation allowed us to understand each other better. the lessons learned: throughout the exercise a lot of lessons learned were gains and we're taking those lessons and applying them to real processes where we have interchange and response. 18 months of planning allowed us certain benefits as well. we were able to look at the capabilities that each other brought to the table in these type of environments and we were able to really take those and learn more about each other for future responses. we were able to take and provide a taylored response package to better serve the customer. again, we don't want to go in with a full package that the state or civil environments aren't really asking for, we want to be sure it's taylored appropriately and it's responsive and timely. we also had the humanitarian assistance coord

chafes submission and it is proceeded with the following written summary as provided by the speaker a citizen and the content is never generated by or subject to approval of the verification of accuracy >> that is a copy, starting with the word stop over to the word check, at the top of of the second page, that is a verbatim of what the written statement was, correct? >> in which page are you talking about? one or three? >> that is page one, it says a written statement was provided by the speaker. >> right. >> and then it goes on and it was what appears to be the written statement starting with the word stop, right? >> yes. >> ending with the word check on page 2. >> yes, that is the entire 150-word or less statement. >> right. >> right? >> that is all that you are asking them to do, isn't it? is to include the statement itself, the written statement that was handed to the commission during the time of your public comment, that that be included? >> and what i am saying is that is not the limit, the limit is that all members of the public who submit a statement should have it included

for the professional services that are provided at the individual pharmacies, and this is actually a bulk of what the contract amount is for. this is a highly utilized program. as you probably know, drugs are the primary treatment modality for medical management. over time we've seen increases in utilization of medications along with the introduction of some novel therapeutic treatments. we expect that this will continue over time as well. recently claims have been increasing by about 3% annually. we are hoping to substantially increase the number of pharmacy options available to our patients. this would not only improve access to pharmacies for these people, but it also may improve adherence if for some reason they're not currently getting a prescription filled, it will be more convenient for them and hopefully this will continue. * if you have any questions i'd be happy to answer them. >> thank you very much. why don't we go to the budget analyst report. >> madam chair, supervisor avalos, as shown on page 5 of our report, table 4, the proposed not to exceed

this does the opposite by providing increased tenant protections. ird, the goal was to provide a significant source of capital for our affordable housing community. it's a story well-known in san francisco. housing prices are on the rise and we need to do everything possible to create affordable housing opportunities as a city. this legislation will create a massive pool of capital that will go straight into the mayor's office of housing to bring greater housing opportunities in san francisco. it is a win/win/win solution. to the the legislation itself, this legislation allows buildings, eligible for the condo lottery, to pay a one time fee and convert their buildings into condominiums. the ellis act buildings will not be eligible in this legislation. the fee begins at $20,000 per unit and is reduced based upon the number of years a building has been in and lost the lottery. if there are tenants in the building they will receive lifetime rent controlled leases for their units and fees collected from this legislation goes straight to the mayor's offic

i'd like to thank the neighbors and citizens for providing that video. the video actually provided more clarity i think to the members of the board in this case. if you notice, they're showing the rainwater is actually running down along the retaining wall where the gutter line is and it continues to run down. and at the very end when they were showing upstream, there was a driveway cut immediately above it. so, if there was rainwater that was jumping and it would jump theoretically as they suggested, jumping over the sidewalk, jumping over the curb onto the sidewalk, it would have happened previously. the picture doesn't show that. the video didn't show that. also they showed the sidewalk that's running down behind the retaining wall. while it was wet, there was no runoff. there was no rainwater that was noticeable running in a stream like a [speaker not understood] in this case. so, there's nothing that was happening that we can demonstrate that can be clearly demonstrated even on the rainstorm that they're suggesting. finally, there was a previous vide

i expect the secretary and the chairman this morning will provide their assessment of the threat that is posed by these groups to regional and international security, as well as our effort to counter their operations. the four americans that our nation lost last september where month the very best expression of what it means to be american. hard-working, energetic, optimistic, dedicated, not just to furthering the interests of their own nation but to ensuring that others could enjoy the same freedom and opportunity that we hold so dear. we honor the sacrifice of those americans, and in their name we will do everything that we can to prevent a repetition of benghazi. since this is likely secretary panetta's last hearing before this committee, and a broad smile has now appeared upon his face -- i want to take a moment to offer my personal thanks to secretary leon panetta, for your service to our country, for your leadership at the defense department, secretary panetta how yeaf withinned qualities of honesty, candor, humility. fair mindsedness and a great sense of humor. automatic of tho

non-profit provider and anthem bluecross is the for-profit provider. in san francisco we have the two-plan model. for those people who are seniors and people with disabilities on medical only, those people have already moved into managed care and have seen how it works or doesn't work. we have had a lot of challenges with that over the past year or two. in the next couple of years, people who are duly eligible, on medical and medicare at the same time will be entering into that systemment on one hand it's kind of scary because we saw to people with disabilities and seniors on medical only moving into the system and it's been confusing. on the other hand it's a great way to look at how we can make it stronger and better for people. so one of the things that we have been doing at the department of aging and adult services, along with department of public health and the health plans is to look at the delivery system and figure out if there is a way that services can be provided in a more coordinated way. our long-term care coordinating council. i was thin

no means the f.b.i. provided everything the transportation the cell phone he used to trigger the device and expect it to blow up and if it ever got to that story you know for the first time that i've ever seen it the new york times had a very media explanation of the criticism of these cases so i think it's taken a long time for the media to realize that these cases aren't all that they seem to be but certainly even today there isn't the rest of criticism but i think the f.b.i. certainly deserves for you know basically chasing people who have no capacity no means for significant crime and turning them into terrorists really absolutely and since they're mentally kind of in that a lot of cases they can't really they always plead guilty in court and it's kind of like case closed trevor out of time thank you so much extremely important topic great book trevor aaronson author of the terror factory if you are. less than a year since the controversial cyber bills cyber intelligence sharing and protection act stalled in

the department doesn't feel additional information was provided. the appellant provided it and we provided statements at the hearing. it appears if there was injustice it was not caused by either this board nor the department rather for whatever reason, the applicant failed to show up. we are not here at this point to argue over the merits of the permit or it is merits of the rehearing and we don't believe there are merits to this case. >> any public comment on this item? seeing none commissioners the item is submitted. >> i -- you know if it was an honest mistake then i think we should allow her to present her case. >> i agree. i mean i think -- sorry. >> no, go ahead. >> i find the appellant's testimony very truthful and i think it would be manifest injustice not to allow her to present her case. >> she was speaking about the planning commission versus us. >> i concur with my fellow commissioners. life happens and evidently this is very important to her so i think a rehearing should be granted. >> i would move to grant a rehearing in this instance

the light footprint, we did not provide. it was almost predictable, almost. bad things were going to happen in libya. here was a fledgling government that had never governed before, without the assistance that we could have provided them with. i beg you, secretary panetta, to send a hospital ship over there to help treat their 30,000 wounded. what did we do? we sent a couple to hospitals and united states of america. i will be glad to hear your response, general dempsey, as to how the available threat estimates you were informed by, how are military was appropriately responsive, since four people died seven hours later with the thousands, hundreds of airplanes, ships, planes, and men and women who are serving available in that part of the world? how did you do what you're posture and capabilities allowed? >> i stand by my testimony. your dispute of it notwithstanding. i would like to say that -- >> perhaps you can give me some facts that will substantiate -- >> i will. we based our response on the combined effects of what we get from the intelligence community

and not operative provides them with the means and opportunity it's only the f.b.i. that's providing that means absolutely and i think you wrote also in your book at how sometimes the salaries are one hundred thousand dollars and her case i mean months and months of working on these cases and that in themselves and and mosques i love that one case how it backfired someone was that overzealous that the informant in the mosque actually reported him to the f.b.i. saying there's this guy who's trying to rally and it's just such an absurd situation i mean when you look at things like that the synagogue bombing the christmas tree bomber all of these terrorist attacks mostly involve entrapment and they're dangerous can consistently are merging it's almost to remind us that terrorism is this perpetual threat almost becoming background noise in our society yet the probability of someone actually dying in a terrorist attack in this country is less than dying of accidental suffocation in bed so why is there so many people working to manufacture a threat that simply doesn't exist

and the report has been provided to the agency for comments.re clearly were a number of things, many things that i read in that report that were very concerning and disturbing to me. and one that i would want to look into immediately, if i were to be confirmed as cia director, it talked about mismanagement of the program and misrepresentationtation, and providing inaccurate information, and it was rather damning in a lot of its language as far as the nature of these activities that were carried out. i am eager to see the agency's response to that report. i read those 300 pages, and i look forward, if confirmed, to reading the entire 6,000 page volume, because it is of such gravity and importance. but chairman, i do not yet have, and nor has the cia finished it's review of this information. that committee's report was done obviously over an extended period of time. and a tremendous amount of work that has gone into it. and based on the review of the documentary information that was available, the documents that were not picked up by cia officers

if you look at table 3 on our report 11, actually based on the information provided by the district attorney, there show and average caseload per attorney, this is for the domestic violence division, of those cases assigned to trial, it shows 30 caseload per attorney average. and again, this is based -- it does show that is going up and that those are possibly the numbers that were being used there. >> through the chair, a clarification, i wasn't studenting that number, but i was disputeing 60 cases from the public defender's misdemeanor caseload versus the 30. i think that is comparing apples to oranges and the appropriate comparison would be 60 cases per criminal defense attorney in the misdemeanor unit on the public deferreders side versus a couple hundred on the district attorney's side. that is what i was really getting it. >> this does not show anything for the public defender, nor talk about overall caseload for the department. it's just focusing on the domestic violence cases. i would also like to respond, supervisor mar, you were asking about the caseload, the reduction from the pol

so the recommendation came to provide a back up capbility for the security operation center. and a back up capbility for the fire command center. this is a four-block long building, and it is exceptionally large in terms of population, so the determination was made redundancy and security and fire operations was critical. mass notification, audible and visual. it is robust means that it carries five feet of dirt on the top and designed and aten you ate radio signaling. you know that you will have a paging system but you don't have all of the information that you need to model it. these hor sonal graphs represent computer based models that show how the final actual design at about 90 percent, 95 percent would have performed. and opportunities exists. those changes are included as part of this request for additional fund,al location. >> the glazing systems it has an extensive amount of glazing you will see on the left and an elevation of the grand hall. it is a glass, this is glass and metal that are held together to form essentially a curtain wall as a grand skylight and it ha

i'm a licensed social worker with the department of health. i provide supervision to the team and operating on a 24 hour model. bevin asked us to make specific outreach to folks that maybe vehicularly housed. we put two vehicles out on the street each staffed with two case managers last week that went to all of the designated streets with the task of fliering and speaking to each of the individuals, gentle knock "outreach, here we are. here is the flier. please call this number". my work with the people that have been vehicle yarly housed has been limited. i did a out of outreach to the community when i was there and from time to time i get referrals usually from the street base clinic consortium that provides health care in the street for people that health care needs have exceeded the capacity to support and sometimes we have people on portable oxygen and hard to do that in a vehicle and sometimes we have people diagnosed with a aggressive form of cancer that you can't treat in a vehicle and we had success with those folks but not others because they

the emergency room. there were not private providers in the neighborhood. to the extent their work, there were not ready to do with clinical needs, language made, support needs for the population. they have hard wired in social work, mental health, and a variety of services that typified the kinds of needs that our population had. it represents, at its best, a one-stop shop. particularly attuned to the kind of population you are working with. without that, emergency room would have been the recourse, if care was to be delivered at all. >> i would characterize it at least what we are doing in vermont -- we are working toward a redesign of the financial and delivery system. community health centers are part of that. all of them were made primary- care center. part of that is financing. you do shared savings or a global payment, or bundle payment. you are also going to change, with regard to the delivery system, in terms of mental health and specialists. you are not aligning it with regard to governance, but you are with the, medical expense. it is changing th

it is important to recognize the perspective of the providers out there and the customers and vendors. it works best when it is really a double benefit. in that case, i would not talk about the reason why we need to do this for public of reasons. i would say you need to improve the accuracy of your address for patient matching and demographic, data quality integrity and that is a great example of the primary use being for better and safer patient care and better clinical interaction but there are huge multipliers in terms of the benefits whether it is research, public health and other potential uses of the information. >> i think we have time for one more question in the back. >> i am from seattle, puget sound, which is the real washington [laughter] and we spent quite a lot of time and energy focusing on performance measurement and reporting and transparency. my question texas in a different direction with regard to confidentiality. we need access to patient identifiable information, not because we report patient identifiable information, but you needed to aggravate across millions o

i don't have it off the top of my head. i'll provide it for the record, but it was a significant amount of money and a high percentage. >> so do you ever get frustrated that you make all these recommendations, and years go by and nothing happens? >> actually, believe it or not, 80% of our recommendations are implemented over a four-year period of time. that's been pretty consistent over time. we keep coming up with new recommendations. for example, we in the past at fha we asked congress to act a prohinted seller finance down payment assistance, and that saved over $10 billion because of -- >> all right, okay. so there is some good news. >> right. >> let me move on to another topic, department of defense. >> uh-huh. >> the air force just canceled an ecsf contract that was already, that we had already spent a billion dollars on. and this is a contract that i've asked the committee to explore in kind of a postmortem to find out what went wrong. there was an inspector general report that recommended that they should cut it off. we didn't d

in the past 70 decades we've provided education opportunity for thousand or so of youth and this closing the gap for a lot of children's education. now we have over 10 education sites in our school district including students and kindergartner schools. my daughter was at the top and other student were at the top in my district so i know the staff does a great job >> san francisco unified is one of the largest providers in southern california and one of the providers in the state that invests in preschool education. and many

the survey really, the main objective is to be able to provide an updated precinct heat map that we've shown here in this setting before, that's the map of san francisco broken up by precincts that shows with color variation where the highest acceptance rates are of our clean power sf program and that will really help us focus our efforts on locations where customers have the most interest in participating and we're testing customers through this survey to determine their general awareness and understanding of clean power sf, their willingness to pay more for 100% green renewable energy product, the likelihood of customers opting out with the not to exceed rates that we are testing, and their interest in having that opportunity to invest locally in local clean energy projects like energy efficiency and renewable generation, and then we're also going to be testing their relative interest in clean power sf versus the pg and e proposed green tariff option that i just summarized, that data should be available in early march for us to begin to share and it's one of the key steps in an updat

without the assistance that we could have provided them with. i begged you, secretary panetta, for example, to send a hospital ship over there to help treat their 30,000 wounded. what did we do? we sent a couple to hospitals in the united states of america. so i'll be glad to hear your response, general dempsey, as to how the available threat estimates you were informed by, how our military was appropriately responsive, since seven -- since four people died seven hours later, with the hundreds of airplanes, ships, planes and men and women who were serving available in that part of the world and how did you do what your posture and capabilities allowed? >> thank you, senator. let me begin by saying i stand by my testimony. your dispute of it notwithstanding. but i would like to say that -- >> happens you can give me some facts that would substantiate. >> sure, i will, senator. we base our response on the combined effects what have we get from the intelligence community, and that's the network of intel agencies, as well, importantly, based on what
