Amount of cases. We hope the three countries can get to zero at the same time and then we can celebrate and say okay ebola is over. After ebola is the rebuilding of the Health Care System. Why ebola in the first place . Its because of the weak Health Care System. Its because of lack of equipment to support Health Care System so we need to build a Health Care System not and then we can build they were selling at Health Care System that we can stop not only ebola but other epidemics in the future. So this is the role that we play play. Now we were into phase two of the Ebola Outbreak. Phase two had four strategies. The number one strategy is to continue Community Engagement and social mobilization. The number two strategy for phase two is the rapid isolation and treatment of ebola. That is the right strategy. What we do if theres a hotspot removed the cases to the etu and give them care. Number four is realtime contact racing. That is making sure every single case the contacts are 100 ma
Gain. You know, the common theme and certainly from what i have gathered about miss johnson is that she is very energetic, a quicklearner and is very willing to put the work into as described by her past experience going into Hunters Point. San francisco is a very diverse city, with many, many different situations and its one of these things where impossible for any individual to come in, to a Commission Like this city planning and to know all the neighborhoods and so forth. I am feeling, like, if you were to put the same amount of energy and tried to discover the rest of San Francisco, so that when people come to you with their perspectives that you understand it better and you have the capacity to do that. I certainly like your past experiences and there is a lot for you to learn, but at the same time, you can very much do the analyses of a new situation, get the information that you need to come up with your answers, maybe because both of us have engineer degrees, i actually appreci
Yes, colleagues, so thank you again for allowing me an opportunity to come to this committee. And present to you a hearing item today. This is a proposed Charter Amendment, a narrowly crafted resolution to transition approximately 38 employees who were formerly employed by the Redevelopment Agency. And as many of you know in 2012, there were in 2012 we were all reeling from the governors decision to abolish the redevelopment agencies across the state and to say the least this is one issue im working with and i was just in another committee dealing with another issue with the dissolution of Redevelopment Agency has put us in a state of tizzy.

Out tax increment dollars and finding alternative sources of funding for infrastructure, and Affordable Housing and project areas. Well, however similar to those projects, there are employees of the agency who have spent a number of years in limbo as well. The biggest barrier that we heard from employees making the complete transition from city and county is that they cant count their previous years of service at the Redevelopment Agency towards their vesting Retiree Health care benefits in the city. We all know how important that is. Many of these employees are midcareer and very, very close to retirement. So possibility of having to start all over again and accrue additional 20 years is very problematic. The Charter Amendment simply allows employees of the former Redevelopment Agency, specifically those who were hired on or before jan january 9th of 2009 to count their years of service at the Redevelopment Agency to their years of service as City Employees for purposes of Retiree Hea
