, and item 30 is a resolution regarding the warriors arena project. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i am with the office of economic and workforce development. it is our pleasure to be before you to ask you to help us begin the process of working with the golden state warriors on a potential transaction that would allow the team to construct a few from the waterfront facility. this is merely the opening tipoff. the action before you is limited in scope and authorizes only the following preliminary -- finding that the competitive bidding policy in the ad man code does not apply in this coast and allowing the city and that in detailed discussions with the warriors' organization on a potential real-estate transaction, recognizing oewd as the leader for negotiating the project, working with board staff and at the direction of the commission, urging all parties to engage in our reach to all affected and interested neighbors and stakeholders, including the san francisco giants, urging oewd and teh port to work closely with the state lands commission and urging staff to make this project a

of moving forward with this project, and i speak as the supervisor who was very supportive of the warriors coming to san francisco, i wonder legally, what is the necessity of this kind of resolution. >> in a sense, this resolution is at the outset in forming the mayor's office and the department that they may go ahead and proceed with negotiations and that competitive bidding will not be applied to this because the board has found a purpose, and a competitive bidding requirement or policy of the city is not applicable here. supervisor campos: i appreciate that. putting aside the competitive bidding peace in terms of the other elements of this resolution, including designating oewd as the lead negotiator, some of the other points embedded in the resolution, i was just trying to understand what legal necessity of those points work. >> designating oewd -- i do not think that as a legal necessity. i think that is a policy matter. >> if i could acknowledge, the port commission has designated the mind of previous action a couple of weeks ago, and this resolution trust acknowledges that that occu

the warriors have committed that we will be initiating these community meetings in the next couple of weeks, so we will be holding them in district 6, still confirming the states, but we will be doing a series of meetings. i think it is a key part, and i think it is important to go to the community before many of these processes have begun and to make clear when people ask questions that we do not know the answer yet, and this project, as amazing as it could potentially be, will potentially have an impact on the community, so i want to confirm that i really want to thank the warriors because of their openness and eager commitment to all of these meetings. it also have made it clear that local hire will be a key piece of the project moving forward, that i think we have enough support on the board of supervisors that we will want to see a vigorous commitment to local fire with this project. it, of course, does make sense to ensure the folks that are currently working at the existing site -- of course, we do not want people to lose their jobs, so with all new jobs created by this, we wan

we have a commitment, i think to those wounded warriors. not for this great care now, but for a lifetime of great care. i can speak for the entire committee on that. we all feel that way. again, i want to make sure that the care doesn't drop from the time you leave d.o.d. i've seen that facility out there multiple times. it's phenomenal to when they get to the v.a. i'm out of time. later if you get a chance i want to get on the answer about why you think the v.a.'s prosthesis is 2900 and you're out in the private sector it's 12,000. i agree with your analysis. i read your testimony. i yield back. >> thank you. i now recognize the gentlemen from new jersey. >> thank you both for your service to this country. >> whether with a private doctor or with the v.a., treatment equal? yes. i have know from what i experienced at the three v.a.s i've gone to. there was one at the clinic in california. there was also one in virginia as well as the one in denver. i've received great care. >> because it kind of comes back to the things we discussed in this

the warriors needed a small forward. they got the guy they wanted. >> i'm proud to be part of this organization. this organization is on the rise. and glad to be a part of it. i'm a big nba fan. i watched them play. i feel like, you know, with steph and clay, derelate wright. >> we love him for our team. the owner and i saw him in new york last week. it's been a long week. he's one of the best players in the draft. >>> the warriors will have a press conference for their new draft picks on monday. damion willard, drafted by the trail blazers. parishioners at a catholic church are asking for help, after thieving broke in and stole some of their music equipment. the robbery happened yesterday. the janitor noticed the doors were left open with audio speakers left outside. he went inside and saw that musical instruments were missing. the priest says church members paid for the instruments by having fund-raisers. the instruments are worth about $16,000. that's our lady of guadeloupe church in san jose. >> next couple days, a d

but the number of warriors with amputations has since increased by over 900%. in 2006 congress revisited this issue and proposed legislation to create in v.a. five such centers. the leadership from the vha opposed the bill and the legislation died. in my humble opinion as a result of some of that history is v.a. was eclipsed by d.o.d. since 2006 d.o.d. has not established just one, but three amputee centers of excellent which are holistic in care. the warriors there receive world class care and when they're no longer on active duty they're going to have to turn to the v.a. in my opinion the v.a. has to ensure that the expertise is necessary to continue the level of clinical care that the warriors have become accustomed to in the military and the v.a.'s administrative processes guarantee timely care. i want to reference your remarks madam chairwoman about transfer of warranted prosthetic purchases within prosthetic services in the v.a. to acquisition. to supply. i totally agree. i think the potential wait times because the lack of knowledge on the supply side ab

with va moving ahead on changing procurement practice, wounded warriors need this committee's help. prosthetic limb is not a mass produced widget, they are specialized medical equipment that should be prescribed by a clinician and promptly delivered to the veteran. they urge the va to stop implementation of the change in prosthetic conferment. beyond this concern war zone injuries that result in amputations are often complex and can prove difficult for later prosthetic fittings. it's apparent the paradigm shift promised some years ago is far from complete and more progress is needed to realize va's vision for an amputee's vision of care. we have real concerns about the direction of this program which appears to have lost the kind of focused advocacy it once enjoyed and fallen victim to a bureaucratization that has lost sight of its customer, the veteran. today it seems intent on tossing out veteran procurement. tomorrow we fear centralized funding of prosthetics will be tossed out and we may wind up where as jim mentioned earlier, where we were to years ago where the fourth quarter

i know it sounds like the wounded warrior project agrees with that assessment. do you agree with that as well? or we'll start -- each of the panels can answer that question. and why. >> i guess i'm not entirely familiar with the differentiation between what mr. mayer is asking to be done and the current system. >> do you think we should ask the va to freeze the reorganization, bring everything in house? >> absolutely. absolutely. >> i'm happy to provide a comment on that. with regard to the reorganization, all of our concerns are provided in our written statement, but until i think that we can answer that, it would be great to be able to know the results and how things worked in the pilots that were implemented in january. it is my understanding that within those pilots, different -- the reorg was implemented in different ways, in different visions. so it would be interesting to see how veterans were affected and the delivery of items, the timeliness, those issues, and access. >> how the different pilot programs, they diverse, the way they implement it, is the d

that's what happens here at the warrior and family support center in san antonio. it is the only one of its kind. it was the dream of judith markelz, and now she's the director. >> we attempt to form a home away from home for wounded warriors and their families to help them feel some kind of connection to each other -- things for them to do every day to take them outside of their own world and help them transition back to active duty or to the civilian community where they're going to have to adjust and make a lot of changes. >> although it's located on an army post, the warrior and family support center is funded entirely from private donations and staffed by about 150 volunteers. families live in apartments close by so they can help soldiers accept what is called "the new normal," which means their life will never be quite the same again. sometimes, family is as important as the medical care. >> to know that someone is there, that someone that comes from home to take care of you makes a tremendous difference for our warriors. if you believe in the triad of the he
