ucsf is outstanding.number 1 public institution in funding from the nih. >> national institute of health? >> we are number 2 overall in the entire united states here at ucsf. that machine of innovation that allows us to have a deep deep understanding of how thing work is sent tram. onen one thing, gerting a fantastic return on that investment separately but very importantly, i am passionate about looking at uc at our ability to take that science and make it meaningful for human health. into bio marker devices so that entire industry has started to ask themselves a tough question which is: if you are an investor and you could invest in social media, games, we are surrounded with that in this town why should you invest in life sciences when those returns are so far out and so unpredictable? >> where i think academia can make a big difference. we can look at those processes the process of taking science and bringing it into human buildings and translating it into better things for human health and how that p

i will continue the non- population quibble about the ucsf hospital. i want to draw your attention to the mission bay task force that net per year in 2007 and 2008 for the purpose of examining the impact of the future development on the eastern neighborhood. they held eight meetings and two workshops over the course of a year. this is a list of their members. important thing to know is that they had nine residents and representatives from district 6 constituencies and 10 representatives and residents from district 10 on the task force. this is one of the maps the task force came up with. it is a map of community issues and opportunities and future development of mission bay. i have highlighted in red what is listed as areas of greatest community sensitivity. think about this. this was a task force with residents of district 6 and 10 and they all agreed the area of the greatest community sensitivity for future development was in dog patch and on petro hill. that matches what you find today on the ucsf website for the advisory group. [tone!] it has repre

ucsf. thank you, leader pelosi. this is a great day today for us at ucsf mission bay and the entire mission bay community. the transportation secretary's announcement earlier today of a $10 million infrastructure investment in mission bay is yet another vote of confidence in the great city of san francisco and our dynamic mission bay community. the grant which the d.c. insiders call a tiger grant will drink infrastructure that is critical for ensuring access for program at ucsf mission bay. with respect to point out the $1.5 million 550-bed hospital. it will provide aid to women, children and cancer patients. construction is underway directly south of us scheduled to open in early 2015. more broadly, the transportation -- will be a key transit source for the full ufsf campus providing bike lines, pedestrian walkways and transit editions necessary to serve this vibe brant and still growing community. as the second largest provider of employment in the city continued success is key to our cit

ucsf does a lot of work to be a good neighbor. supervisor mar: is there anyone else from the public who would like to speak? public comment is now closed. colleagues, we need to move this forward as a committee report for consideration on june 26, 2012. can we do this without objection? thank you. >> mr. jaret? -- mr. chair? >> we have amendments. could you please let us know what the amendments are. >> certainly. before you today is an amendment. there are some indications of ought -- documents. there is an amendment on the bottom of page 3 that clarifies that one of the approvals concerns the widening of mariposa street. clarifying language about the mission bay south infrastructure plan modification. it clarifies what the status of that is today. supervisor mar: colleagues, can we take these amendments without objection? thank you. can we move this forward as a committee report to the full board? thank you. >> item number four, resolution authorizing police amendment for 720 sacramento street for the department of public health

i want to just let you know how thankful and happy i am to join our partners at ucsf. leader pelosi, a good friend, to let you know we were hanging out here a few minutes ago. every time we come together is because we are sharing good news about the efforts we have committed to ahead of us and behind us. so we were commenting on that. we have got if keep this in context. less than a decade ago, we were august all looking at a rail yard and people said in san francisco we worked with labor. i want to thank members of our

for this, ucsf place hoinld what they're calling investigation leave. for the i team, dan noyes, abc 7 news. >> and abc 7 news obtained dramatic video of a frightening accident we've reported here last night. in warning you may find this graphic. a white nissan plau plows down a spotlight. you can see a 1-year-old girl and this view, you can see the woman's 5-year-old son on a tricycle. the anguished driver picks up the mother's limp body then lays her on the road. he then reacts to the situation. >> he was very distraught. he is cooperative. from the time during our interview and accepted responsibility. now starting to realize consequences of a bad decision. >> and he was arrested for felony reckless driving, additional charges could be added depending on what happened to the little girl. she remains in intensive care, her mother sustained just minor injuries and authorities say the accident was the result of road rage between he and another driver. the second driver was in the arrested but could still face charges depending on what the investigation

it is located in san francisco next to the ucsf mission building. there are lots of biotechnology laboratories available. about 29 startup companies in that space developing innovative technologies. i am in biotechnology primarily. our technology creates oil using a biological process that takes waste carbon as an input. ideas such as ours often come from universities and it is a real benefit for us to be by ucsf to be part of the innovation center. not only is ucsf a part of that, but uc-berkeley and uc santa cruz. so we are part of this network. in addition, we have technology partners with berkeley laboratories. for us, a lot of the breakthroughs in our technology have really come from our partners that research laboratories and our staff. i would add to that, not only is that where it came from, but it is the type of environment that fosters creation. there is another benefit to being in this type of environment. lots of service providers, lots of other companies that are also starting businesses, whether you need legal assistance -- obviously,

advocacy of the ucsf campus is strengthened by dividing the area with the border at 16th street. the northern border with the 16th. the southern border would be at sixth street east of seventh. [tone!] again, advocacy is strengthened in the areas where two districts are supporting the overall mission the campus. thank you for all of the hard- working and done in support of district 10. i appreciate you have retained a view -- bay view and others together. you have kept portal whole. your wisdom speaks volumes. [tone!] thank you. >> thank you. yes, ma'am. >> oh, can you? ok. >> my name is olga. my house is on grove street. we strongly oppose the move to district 1 from district 5. we just learned about it last tuesday. it is just because some good soul put a fire in our mailbox. -- flier in our mailbox. we have been in the northern panhandle community for a long business. >> ladies and gentlemen, we are adjourned. now >> now with deliberation, consideration of tweaks to the current draft with the percolation of finalizing maps once and for all. here's the process i would propose.

ucsf and golden gate park wrap bus and includes as part of the panhandle. there is a huge hill as well. to include our block as part of district 1 would be creating an island out of the block. we would be separated from district 1 in the longer part of the panhandle. that is the concern. >> bank you, sir. -- thank you, sir. pedro de jesus? ok. pat s. ok. robert rusky. then if there are other names? >> good morning. my name is robert rusky. i am part of the planning group. i congratulate you for surviving the process. thank you for your sensitivity, intelligence, and integrity. it is a tough task. i think you have done that. we want to thank you for reuniting japantown several months ago and reunited with the fillmore and keeping us together in district 5. you have kept these historical communities of interest together. it is very important to all of us. you have done more than that. you have helped the process of reinvigoration of the historical bonds between those communities that have been damaged by the effects of development. we're looking forward to th

ucsf. this incredible institution for research, for care, for improving the health of the world and national newswide. so with their excellence, we were able to attract resources to the research. that research, in order to attract the talt talent, the nobel laureates and those who would be, need labs, knees the infrastructure. it is all a circle. infrastructure attracted talent. talent, additional infrastructure attracts capital and what some of the byproducts -- in the private sector, some great companies serving meeting the aspirations of people in terms of drug development. you just need to look at buyers. buyers -- i don't know what it was. hall? the names indicate so much of the success of the area. we also have to prove, as the mayor said, when there is a public investment, that there will be private investment and non-profit vement that will follow. so -- investment that will follow. we see this philanthropy. the market opportunities that spring for us. perfect. tiger. perfect tiger

. >> some accomplishments we have had outside of the program partnered with ucsf pediatrics. conducted a districtwide study. this is the first time -- the school district and not have school commuted data. this is the first time. if it includes middle and high. we have done this twice so far. we plan to do it again in the fall. 24% were walking or biking in 2010. it is gone up a couple of percentage points which is actually pretty significant for the entire school district. 24% lived within, lc the half m, and another 18% within a mile. so we feel like there is a significant proportion of children and families that we can reach to ask them to consider walking and biking. we also partnered with mta, taking this data we did with ucsf, to establish a prioritization system looking at mainly the 73 elementary schools. and those that had really high rates of walking, we combined that with injury data. those that had high rates of walking and, unfortunately, high numbers of pedestrian crashes, those are now at the top as the schools will be the top candidates for a capital grant to

"today in the bay's" bob redell is live at the ucsf mission bay campus this morning, where students areressing up as zombies, but they say for a reason. good morning, bob. >> reporter: good morning, laura. i'll explain that reason in a moment. sf pd, police are out here, setting up barricades. these protesters are upset that the board is expected to raise fees for students in the professional degree programs and that there could eventually by a 20% hike in tuition for undergrads. so several students are expected to dress up like zombies to protest what they say is the death of higher education. >> well, the uc regent have said killing students with these tuition increases, 300% in the last few years. it's a debt sentence. so we're coming back from the debt and back from the dead to say, no more tuition increases, no matter what happens this year. >> reporter: we spoke with uc. today the board is expected to temporarily free the amount that students are expected to pay in uc. in exchange, the state has promised an additional $125 million in funding next year. the board is also expected t

davis would go up 10% in uc- berkeley business school fees would go up 23% and nursing school fees at ucsf, davis, and los angeles would go up 35%. we have seen a lot of protest outside of uc board of regents meetings. normally people protest a little bit more when they're talking about jacking up undergraduate prices but it seems that with a lot of these students they're just thinking that enough is enough. so we will hear from them at 8:30 a.m. and we will follow that for you live in san francisco. >> three new csu campus presidents will be paid substantially more than their predecessors. the board of regents has okayed the agreement for incoming presidents at san fransisco state, csu northridge in an csu san bernadino. the money is coming from private foundations. >> no funds from the foundation will be coming from any financial aid or student scholarship money. >> i don't care how life drama or what shall they want to use, don't give those people a raise. right now we're supposed to have a shared sacrifice but that is not a shared sacrifice. >> the three new campus presidents will get

>> to answer your question, the patient base is not the same as ucsf. i need to do further research to answer that question that they would expect they would need to travel into a different location for the women's and children's center. supervisor campos: we are trying to understand how meaningful your analysis of this was. why include that as to some other mix of services? >> it showed what would be the physical envelope that would be required to conclude. it is possible that a different mix of program could be accommodated and this development program could be defined viz-a-viz cathedral held. what we are trying to do, the various iterations is that we have analyzed alternatives and that would not change much with a different mix of services. supervisor campos: given that you have concluded that the alternative was the environmentally superior alternative, why not go with 3a? >> the eir does not opine whether the project or the alternative should be chosen. this is the task of the decision maker based on what it determined to be feasible. we just lay

one of the things is we partnered with ucsf to measure the air quality using scientific instruments that is standard for these measurements around the world. we went into the spaces in four outdoor patio levels -- areas. we found dangerously high particulates in three of those bases. average and ratings in the epa standard on healthy rains. three were worse than the other. what we found that made a distinction between the three and a one were -- and the one were in those three, we had 50% more of those spaces had some kind of overhead cover and they had high walls. what we were saying is spaces that are very similar to indoor spaces in terms of the air circulation aspect. and so second-hand smoke is a serious issue. the surgeon general says there is no safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke even in the less toxic spaces. it is a serious threat to be considered. 53,000 people a year in this country die from second-hand smoke so it is not something to be taken lightly. it is something to be taken seriously as a health risk rating is not about being bothered. it sis about being protecte

if we look at ucsf, they are in three locations. in addition, since this does not reflect need. there are no patience at cathedral hill, but cpmc plans to fill 555 beds. a larger st. luke's contract well insured patients. as has been mentioned, if health care reform survives, many newly insured patients might find the st. luke's an attractive alternative. the proposal for a new medical office building is flawed. the current medical office building is well below capacity. the new office building will not be built unless it reaches 90% capacity and there are leasing agreement of 75%. it has been mentioned about the profit margin falling below 1%. it seems to me that there really should be no escape clause whatsoever. there should be no ability to closed st. luke's and keep it open for a least 20 years. brief comments on the centers of excellence -- the center of excellence in committed to help, rather than serving the entire southeastern portion of the city, and hosting far-reaching programs that promote equity and expand access to primary care, behavioral health, prevention, has

i am assistant professor at ucsf. i am not speaking on behalf of any of these entities. i published ostensibly in the area of emergency department closures. i was looking at over 2400 hospitals over the past 20 years and the united states. hospitals that serve low-income and poorly insured patients are twice as more likely to close their emergency rooms than their counterparts. this is even after controlling for things that market competition, profit margins, and ownership, and population density. my team performed a state analysis to determine if these national trends are similar within california. hospitals serving a higher proportion of minority patients and poorly insured patients had a highly -- a higher rate of closure. there is a federal law that states that all emergency departments must see patients regardless of their ability to pay. this is the only place where you can get care regardless of your ability to get -- paid. as a result, what happens is you have two different types of emergency departments. if you are a hospital and your e r is located in a geograp

could probably place it without any problem in my mind in some of the new construction going on at ucsf or in stanford hospitals. what i'd like to see here is something that would look out of place in those locations. [laughter] vice president wu: commissioner sugaya. commissioner sugaya: just a little detail. there's been some's mention, julie mentioned it, and perhaps incorporating it and commissioner wu said maybe we don't want to incorporate it in this building but the entrance might be, you know, able to be whatever in another location. but to the project staff, what is the construction material of this building? of the present building? vice president wu: please come to the podium. commissioner sugaya: is it stucco? >> the other mike. >> it's stucco. commissioner sugaya: it's going to be difficult to do anything with that. i don't know there are salvageable materials. i know the city has requirements for larger materials and whatnot. if there are any architectural details, that might be able to be salvaged. i don't want you to incorporate them in the new building, but there might

researchers at ucsf found 20% of elementary schools were meeting the standard requirement of 20 minutes per day. guess who is out there helping that? it is volunteer coaches -- is volunteer coaches like us. the last line of defense in this area. one of the strongest partners we have is is if park and rec. they have been vilified tonight strangely in some nefarious plot they have with the fischers but they are as strong part and probably the crown jewel in san francisco's attempts to make this city family friendly. that being said, the hardest thing we have and the biggest problem we have is getting the -- for our kids. give us two, three fields. let's make this city it world- class city not only for restaurants but for families as well. >> my name is richard cross. i lived in saccharin -- san francisco in district 5. i am a grandfather and a soccer coach for 35 years. i want to make some comments write some things i have heard yet. the city uses hundreds of thousands of gallons of water on the beach chalet every year artificial surface would use a fraction. what would happen if -- and h
