Transcripts For SFGTV Public Utilities Commission 81115 20240622

Thank you. Next speaker, please good morning for once supervisors. Eric [inaudible] with various groups including San Francisco clean energy advocates. The other problem with i [inaudible] measure is it will set different standards for pge so it can get away with calling [inaudible] when we couldntit was silly. On what is happening today, advocates want to make very clear that ibw made an agreement that after you vote on this in the hearing and send it forward they will send out a press release immediately announcing their intention tooz campaign against their measure and for our measure including putting a ballot statement saying dont vote for this, vote for the other one. Advocates need to see that happened before you all at the board in about a halfhour vote to send it forward. If doesnt happen i know it is drag to be here friday, but you need to hold that vote until the press release goes out or we feel we dont have a deal and if we lose quorum and have to go to a pal balt misher fight we are plepaired to do that and will and will win. The last thing is hopefully ibw is watching and if they attempt this in other countiesim part of a state Wide Organization on Community Choice and will aggressively defend any county.

Yes. Mr. Office of the city administrator to duffey i didnt please and mr. Duffey i have a timer for 3 minutes when the buzzer goes off. Commissioners nice to meet you im on the Health Center clinic Patient Advisory committee i have a sister at the age of the internet a 6 degrees of separation but not 3 degrees of separation we know be a lot more people before that i think that is kind of a Silver Lining to the aging process for example, i heard about rudolph better garys doing the artwork and im looking forward to take a look at that ford was president and hopper and many people responded and im looked forward to it look those links ive been in the citizens Advisory Committee for some time and tom odell won 20 years now weve had some ups and downs and some times we came close to disbanding with the budget part of new to the center was difficult our liaison died we worked through all those things is it appears that the department is putting ay used effort dr. The director shes a apparently going to be at all the Health Centers i want to thank you for doing that i think there are look good things it come out of that ive been involved and it helps to have reenforcements thank you. Thank you all right. Well move on to item 5 report back if the finance committee. Chair. Good afternoon the finance and Planning Committee met before the Commission Meeting and we had you know a really robust discussion on the presentation on chirtd care and i think that actually inspired more questions than answer and including you know the goals of charity care like you know in the time of the valuable Affordable Health care act and charity care was adopted 15 years ago and back then we didnt have the kind of sentiment as we do today those were some of the questions that came up and you know the presentations were actually coming to the commission and so i want to put on this to thinking how we can actually create a partnership that really serves the buyer city and county of San Francisco and including the most important part to reduce you know Like Health Care for those who live in the city we also have some new and old contracts for your approval and it is all on the consent calendar with the contract report there are actually, two items that have been tabled for the next meeting for approval and those two are the medical contracts and services and the Network Within the contract report the 3 contracts that would be still need your approval will be the clinic works the data way and the staffing. Commissioners the reason ive taken off a clerical error the report needs to be clean before it comes to you. Right there were typos. Any questions. Commissioner questions or comments to the report from commissioner chow . No comments all right. Great well go to the next item well move on to item six the consent calendar consent calendar is before you you heard the two items that are removed from the consent calendar does anyone wish to extract any items if the calendar otherwise. Yes. Please within the contract report so under the consent calendar it will be all the items on the consent calendar that we need approval of within the contract report which we have to items removed. Yeah. It is the 9 approximately 8 millions on the pharmacy agreement; right . Tip probation officers and 1, 3 and 1, 5 for the pharmacy kind of in the middle of the block of the first folder all contained in the contract report. Any other questions . If not we should note that the Walgreens Program extends our 40 b program that required a link to each clinic only to all of the San Francisco walgreens clinics under the b program is that not correct director Barbara Garcia thats correct. Thats a significant difference an, an added benefit to the program under 9 previously i nodded if you were at chinatown clinic and went down to only one walgreens and couldnt go to another walgreens you had to go to another one like castro that allows all the walgreens in San Francisco to participate in this program. That was my only clarification were prepared forever the vote. All in favor, say i. I. Opposed . The calendar has been adopted unanimously. Thank you, commissioners item 7 the dpw policy on the dpw facilities as you recall this was introduced at the last meeting. Good afternoon, everyone. Commissioners colleen i did not have anything additional as the secretary said the draft of the policy at the last meeting it didnt require our package of the resolution only the affirmation. I was wondering if on this is more a technical question on the block that we have which on page 2 if you would get that if so r this this is yet california but for the process in the text and my two questions and which i believe are editorial under the section for dpw nonhospital building and director would review and submit recommendations and would it seems to me that the commission actually then makes also a review and recommendation; right . To the board of supervisors as it says under item d. Yeah. So the block should clarify that by putting that in and the board recommends. So ill make that change. Thank you and so the last the bottom block expelling facility naming in connection with the gift of any amount u amount the director reviews and submits the remedies for final approval and here i believe under our section e it says that the commission will approve the request so the word approve needs to be there also and moves it to the board of supervisors. To be consistent with our text. Thats right thank you for catching that commissioner. So if those are accepted as the editorial correction ann another motion it in order to approve the column. So moved. There is a motion and a second is there further discussion on the policy . If not, were prepared vote all in favor, say i. I. Opposed . The policy is passed unanimously thank you thank you, commissioner i also note no Public Comment or questions item 8 is the resolution of the port naming the general clinic and richard a fine clinic. Im not sure who is representing item ms. If you recall a presentation at the last meeting. Yes would you like to help refresh our minds on the items. There was a proposal on the small video last week of the part of the richard fine to rename the general clinic at San Francisco General Hospital the richard h fine clinic and the drafts resolution in front of you for your consideration compliant with the and the draft resolution is before you the motion will be in order. So moved. Is there a second. Theres a second commissioner sanchez. Yes. Yeah. I just like to make a comment pertaining to the naming of that clinic regarding dr. Fine initially when it was brought before the jc c to be named by the department and in reference to the hourlong program in general many of us attended it was an awesome tribute to a outstanding recommendation to the richmond h fine clinic i sort of took the wind out of my sails it was shifted to dr. Richard fines Peoples Clinic and ive been trying to get that out of high head why hadnt it bothered me ive known dr. Fine when i joined and at 69 all the way through and couldnt think of a more outstanding position to have a clinic named at the San Francisco General Hospital to have it named that i guess somehow this sort of limitations his focus and maybe im just responding many of us were involved in the 60s and 70s in coming back with the gi bill to berkley and at Central Nervous system that was part of our effort but dick fine was an extraordinary human being, he played a key roll in working with many of us at the general to form call the urban healthy was a key member it involved every single chief of service at the general from dr. Tom surgery to dr. From that he had arctics and we got them altogether and got the funding, etc. To not only increase the qualities of Service Based on the philosophy of our faculty and residents the outcomes in reference to what theyre doing and dr. Fine played a Critical Role and continues to play a Critical Role so the funds many of the folks that served only the committees were some of the old guard the services of retired champions and many at the oil library at the San Francisco general you saw all departments one or two some were submitted with replacements and this is a meaningful thought so i got a few comments from dick fine represents the finest of Central Nervous system so i want to interject that that needs to be said and Something Else that is important dick fine figure out through the urban health board to insure the minority students in potrero hill be bayview Hunters Point and the mission had opportunities through San Francisco General Hospital did this through the urban health and navigate 4 videotapes were working with the students and working with other groups to increase access to training and minority positions one the key people involved was francis a mexicanamerican who become a nurse and got her masters was the director of the urban Health Project and she was showing so impressed with his service unfortunately after they passed away left a scholarship for the students from the valley to go into nursing and paycheck to the services he provided to the community to me had doesnt say enough about him the reason im saying that in other types of awards like the staff like the julie the honorees for top residency in each of the departments we think about what dr. Discretionary review violence did but julie discretionary review violence he supported many the dean and the chancellor but his commitment was the quality of care at General Hospital we had the rapid report and talked about who they were and why theyre here so as i envision dick fine clinic i imagine their teaching the under graduates and staff what an outstanding position dick machine fine was in the memory of San Francisco General Hospital that was dedicated to serving ill regardless of country or people anyway, i just want to share that i think that he doesnt like to be socalled i mean, he marks to a difficult drum but worked within those organizations and programs to insure that access to qualify remains the flagship of excellence and the medication that no other departments in the Central Nervous system we feel some of us feel quite strongly it would have been great to keep it that way and the curriculum and the training of the future Health Providers would certainly reflect his philosophy and commitment to people of all walks of life that was what he was through the chair i apologize for getting into that but ill support it so recommended but i do feel you know it could have been greater had we kept the tradition and used that as an ongoing teaching this is in my opinion. Thank you, commissioner because commissioner you can amend the resolution but i think id ask director garcia. Yes. I asked the same question and know it is not just people so i asked the same question that request that went through dr. Fine and that way i honestly think it takes away from what you said dr. Ations and fine i believe that went through him and he supported that and in fact, he does walk to a different drum i wanted to honor the way he was and i the that through the staffer that presented it i appreciate our comments and puts the meaning that is the bigger title. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. I think we could note the reason it the name is in and unless commissioner youre entitled to amend the resolution okay. Any further comments if not all those in favor of the resolution as presented please say i opposed any Public Comment no vision zero update. Item 9. Good afternoon, commissioners and director Barbara Garcia and secretary thanks for the opportunity im megan wear the director of the health and sustainability and also cosponsor of the Vision Zero Task force to present to my colleagues we put together Vision Zero Initiative in may of 2014 the Committee Passes the resolution in support of vision zero were here to provide an update.

Good afternoon, everyone. Everybody with respect to education related to vision zero we really are working very close with our partners headed by the mta to create the prosperity citywide strategy to the board of supervisors and the Transportation Authority outlining all the different Educational Opportunities welds implement in the next few years for vision zero and weve adopted 37b9 with the information proud about its the Public Preservation is not just teaching individuals about how to slow down or cross the streets but were effecting all the levels were talking to the providers in various was our Health Providers the muni operators large vehicle operators were working with the coalitions ill talk about in a minute and changing our Organizational Practices and working with flunking 0 policy and were going to achieve vision zero we have a citywide strategy that outlines a number of different Educational Opportunities i managed save out to school and as megan tubed weve included the streets for pedestrians and the Mayors Office has funded it in the city budget for that the next two years because over 50 percent of pedestrian fatalities are seniors and this is a population that needs a lot of save so save outreach were looking at ways inform coordinate all the information about vision zero and bring that directly to seniors and people with disabilities we focused on creating communitybased education this picture is a Standard Campaign ive worked with supervisor kims office all over at tenderloin and selma and a had tare highlighting the Community Residents a professional photo shot that is in the neighborhood we live here please slow down we offer some grants to selective groups that are working in neighborhoods that are on the High Injury Network walk sf is the leads for the coalition and groups that serve modeling and nonenglish communities south of market and chinatown ceda and the Economic Agency with working with groups in their native languages to deliver the information a National Program we founded in 2009 were interested in promoting walking and biking for obviously for various reasons of promoting health to make it safety in order to do so we work with the School District and a number of city agencies and a number of communitybased Groups School starts in 2 weeks were adding 10 for Elementary Schools to the program that covers half of the Elementary Schools im proud to say theyve passed the vision zero last spring theyre one of the lastly partners to join us and as part of changing Organizational Practices our team worked with the mta to produce intents the schools on the next those are schools that have typically high rates of walking and have a lot of injuries in the buffers of school their prioritized to get the improvements to the streets and sidewalks my prime is gene elementary have r half of the population walking to school and the highest number of pedestrian injuries we have asked mta to produce intents and have gotten 3 grants for the elementary we work with the Vision Zero Coalition it is lead by walk sf and in partnership with the Bicycle Coalition they help folks to keep the city accountability we again offer many grants and the prime example is actually before vision zero we gave walk sf a little less than 10,000 in 2011 to implement a local option in the subtly was passed to allow the municipalities to implements 15 mileperhour school zones were the only city to fully take advantage of the local option to the city halls that are eligible other schools in San Francisco have done it on a skais basis but walk sf worked with mta to get if implemented for all the schools it makes all the schools once the speed limit drops it helps with the bumps and the speed limits needs to be reduced first, it was done by walk sf i want to acknowledge one thing barbara cowrote with her counterpart ed reiskin and acknowledge the hard work with rachel and the Communication Team for working closed with the mta Communication Team in helping to profile vision zero in the communication its been getting a lot of attention and thats the end of the presentation were open for questions. Thank you very much questions commissioners commissioner taylormcghee. A clarification goith the 15 mileperhour theyre eligible for the school zone unless theyre actually on highspeed aerial so 4 or more lanes not allowed to have that in the state law only 4 schools in San Francisco for example, Betsey Carmichael has it does not have it on one end which is on 7th street but on the surrounding 3 areas the block that are narrower and smaller so but those streets will be getting bigger improvements through other avenues of vision zero and theyre a dozen schools that have absolutely no boundaries the Mission School is o1 on 16t street from mission all the way up to church. Commissioner sanchez. This is a think excellent report im really glad to see the coordination among the nonprofits this is a good benchmark a number of schools that may not be eligible with the Early Childhood schools that are part of the School District theyre not huge but theyre very important and they have families that walked or drive cars and drop off, etc. I know them particularly in the mission that contacted us over the years about trying to get signage that shows kids crossing or especially you have like alleys going between and you get cars or motorcycles and bikes and parents are trying to pick up their can i see and the teachers it is really traumatic my question is there some unit that could be contacted or we could refer them to get signs posted both in the eel and in the white zones which they have they have for a year and a half to get the signs saying do not park here its a real question. Ill certainly take that back to mta the issue is unfortunately in all of the codes that mta has to operate by the schools are denied by k through 12 well brick bring it back. It is were trying to fourth why. It comes up repeatedly. Id like to acknowledge tour staff i sat in one of the meetings with the police and municipal Transportation Agency with a variety
