administrative code. madam chair >> item 5 budget and legislate ever analyst report. let's go to the sf port. >> good morning, chair chan and supervisors mandelman and melgar i'm michael martin the port director. we will start with item 4, regarding the proposed waiver competitive bidding for the wheel and the whatever. last year approached by sky star to consider the relocation of the wheel from golden gate park to fisherman's wharf part of the apec conference. we worked with them and able to authorize a temporary special event permit for 6 months at the parking lot at fisherman's wharf and install in the time for apec. we benched their operations engaged with our commission and the community. and thought there was a benefit to continuing their tenancy

beyond the sick months it fit in well as we await the long-term project of revitalized will develop that same location with visitors serving and retail uses. we have this time where we do negotiations and environmental review for the long-term we felt was a chance to aline this lease with our port plan to increase foot traffic and bridge the gap from the restaurant closures to the fasill uts and reenergy iegz fisherman's wharf. we engaged in meetings for feedback it was very positive. our commission approved a resolution on february 27 recommending to the board wave competitive bid to enter an 18 month lease. we are here before you hopefully seek your approval to move ahead. we are happy with the wheel so far. there has been 137,000 tickets

sold since last november am 190 thousand dollars of rent to the port and can that will increase as we get to the summer and the rest of the year people are familiar with the attraction. so, we appreciate the mayor for sponsoring this item and appreciate your support and hopefully moveing for approval so we move ahead on this extension. i'm here for questions. your 18 month is the 18 months from the approval of the exemption or 18 months with the exemption guin the lease agreement for 18 months of lease. >> 18 months from the execution of the lease we can't execute until this resolution is effective but have authority to do that as soon as it is effective. my guess is beginning of may >> is your lease agreement the terms and condition as they exist? or it will be different? >> by and large as it exists we

added a few things. but received community feedback about the intensity and timing of the light show or lights on the wheel. incorporated those to restrict and sky star taken those operational changes. broadly the operation will be what you see as it looks today. >> if i understands and correct me if i'm wrong. because the lose agreement is south does not trirg 9.118 not coming to the board for approval? if that is the case, ksdz you elaborate about the let's agreement itself? >> that is true. under 9118 we need port commission authority. on february 20th meet the port commission approved terms for the lose therapy attached to the resolution. broadly the lease is our boiler plate form to protect the port from viability and required base rent and percentage rent.

encourages free tickets for under served communities. similar to the license agreement with your approval we proceed on those same terms. >> thank you. and i'm just looking at the attachment for the partial we have received a memorandum of information on the, on legislative file, looking at 18 month term. and monthly base rent 10 thousand dollars and 185 dollars. to increase by 3% effective november of 24. looks like that december 2023, that was impressive of 39,000 something riders generating 650,000. in gross revenue. that is impressive. and that's

good news. >> absolutely. we are seeing good ridership year over year compared with golden gate park. part is where it is. and we want to build off that we are plan to do more activation in the area next to the sky star wheel to attract more visitors the summer months come and the visiting season peeks. we hope to see them improve more. we are happy with them so far. >> thank you and i'm sure you know i will say this, it is brother it is now than the original location. >> i have to say on record. i appreciate. thank you >> thank you. >> thank you. >> and go to item 5. presentation. move on to item 5. i will do a brief kickoff and hand it off. this pier 32 sea wall project is twhoon is important to the board. over the last 25 years we seen a

number of failed effort to develop at this attractive and challenging site. we think we have the right team to work on this between the port and our partners. we have been able to work with the bay conversation and development commission and the state legislator to address the regulatory challenges we are move to a feasibility project. you see in the item we don't vice president that project yet we have more work to do, but advancing into environmental review and more dialogues we can find ways to bridge that gap. the import of the project is that we were in front of you talking about the flood study and the draft plan with the army corpse that will be an investment for the city to match federal investment this . project is part of strategy to take as much of that hit off the taxpayers. this project because where it is located will build the line of defense for the embarcadero and

that is a great winning strategy that bring activity and public benefits to what is now a surface parking lot and birth for us. and we think that is a way to also bridge the gap to the future we need to with flood resilience as sea levels rise. i will hand typeset to my colleagues. good morning. supervisors mandelman and melgar. i'm here to talk about pier 32 sea wall 330 project. >> so first to talk about the project, there are 2 different sides. the first is sea wall 330, this will include phase 1 and potentially 2. could go together or split t. is two residential buildings with 15% inclusionary affordable

housing and i land dedication for 100% affordable housing building the developer will look for a partner to develop that site. that would be funded by the development and generated there. 713 units total on sea wall 330. 25% which is affordable. the next piece is pier 32 across the street. the reconstruction of a single resilient pier. that is mostly office with a retail hall fronting embarcadero. food market, retail along embarcadero and include significant horizontal infrastructure improvements, including recorrection of the pier and sea wall. there will be one of the flag ship things aquatic center with a pool and deep water for a

cruise and military use. speaks to where this is phased the first is the construction limitation. there will be intense construction on both sides that would be very, very challenge to do the same time. the second is financial. and i will talk about if the financing a bit the port will use similar financing tools to other port developments. the public financing with the residential side will help funds the pier side. doing that side first you generate public financing for all of the pier and sea wall improvements. so. as i mentioned, the term sheet contemplates community facility district and infrastructure financing district project area they are similar tools what the port uses on pier 70

developments. and as mike said based on the current pro forma and market the project does require an additional 125 million dollars to balance. the assumption going in the fiscal study is identify additional sources and i will talk about those are. but fiscal feasibility and endorsement allow us to move forwards with additional confidence to identify the source. so, the first thing we'll look to is the market. construction will take awhile on the pier side and the sea wall outside and office project. we are hope to see imprudent personments in the office market that could close that gap and completely. if the market does not improve we would look to additional public sources including impact fees. and utilizing tax increments or other tax source. adjusting transfer tax, federal or state funding for infrastructure. we are working with army core this is in that flood study

area. we are sharing revenue from east birth, any of these would be brought back as part of a lease division and development agreement we bring in the future. finally to talk a bit about the term sheet. contemplates several transaction documents including the develop that cover area and potential for development agreement and separate ground leases for each construction site. the projected time line currently based on execution in 2026, sea wall 30, 2028 to 31 and pier 32 to 2035 built on the assumption could change. 3032 lease a 66 year term with 900 thousand anual rent and the 3, 30 grounds lease 75 year term. zero rent for affordable

building to help that and 600 thousand dollarsanual rent for the other 2 market rate. next steps after this step upon the developer made environmental evidences to planning. we'll w on transaction documents and we will start know pursuing opportunity to close that 125 million dollars infrastructure funding gap. and the developer will coordinate with our team and army core to see how the design and construction for this site fits with the larger sea wall project. i like to thank the bla for their work on analyzing the

project. and i'm joined by cleanings at the port and the developer if you have questions. thank you. >> thank you. >> item 5 the physical feasibility finding the sea wall lot development and endoergs the term sheet for this project. as the department mentioned the development occur on 2 cites owned by the port. and -- the port provide a fiscal analysis for the project this showed the net general fund revenues generated would be 2.48 million dollars. that is primarily from the pier fist they are in the developed there would be the maintenance

costs would be the responsibility of the dwerp. there is a funding gap of within 25 million dollars. on the pier redevelopment. even including public financing the project now has a funding gap the port has some options they will explore to meet that gap. so we consider approval to be a policy matter and recommend if this does proceed the port update the board had they bring documents on the final financing plan for the project. >> thank you. and so i think there is the question will the lease disposition and development agreement the budget and analyst have recommended looking forward to see just helping the board so we understand your financing plan? especially to bridge the 125 million dollars gap of i

appreciate the fact the developers in partner with the city is pick out 153 million dollars worth of construction loan to move this forward. so we see that the financial burden rely on the developers themselves to be able to get the financing going. so the question is could you help walk us through like today after in the event we. does not approve and move this forward could you walk us through the timing of when we can expect you to and back and have updates on the development agreement and financing plan? >> sure. so the ena runs through 2026. which provides the outside timing for that. after the will be looking at environmental review and working on coordinating the 3032 side with the army core work.

and -- we are just getting in that. there is a bit uncertainty what will happen there. the goal is to come back in 2026 depending what happens with the funding gap and the army corps that could change and we'll look at all options to move this project forward. it move its forward and continues to as i mentioned construction expected on the pier 6 years.

office market and depends what that looks like the financing could change temperature is hard to give you anything with certainty in terms when back in 26 the outside time for the lbga when we come back we'll get the financing plan and briefings how we have the 125 million dollars gab gap and the pacifics it. vice chair man man? >> getting all of the thumb's up. i will support this when we would do is -- figure out how the least attractive piece of

the projects for the developer would move up early in the projects so that -- the stuff that makes the money is later. >> we seen the city. make up for that on treasure island. i imagine a universe i think i understand how this is playing out. where -- this is a good developer. like they will end their local and care for san francisco and key players and will try to make this work. the phasing of this to be 3 foot sea wall lot that is developd and have a project and housing there.

they have instead figured out a way to get the pearce down and the intiesment for the project is gone. the answer is how much they have to pay us. depends whether this is done or not. if this does in the work out as we had to do and projects have to come in and figure out a way to make the sea wall lot 330 project w out and we might not like -- the way we are doing this leaves us exposed.

the port and city regain control of that. in addition to the higher rent they would bayh pay on the sea wall lot site that generates 1.2

million dollars a year. the port used for resilience we gain the fundses and we do have a pretty strong enticement if the dwerp will not move forward we can finds another to move forward with those funds. it is depending on market conscience 75 to 80 million dollars in public financing. as we look at other sources we target everything. there are risks and we worked mitigate that. and make sure that if there are issues we have the ability to target everything to 3032 to close that gap as much as possible and you know when we get to the stage we are red to start construction we will have to look at the economics of the project. and figure out what is needed to build the make it go. we are retaining a lot of those

tools so we are not left with all of the gap. >> thank you. and we don't have other names we will go to public comment. items 4 or 5 now is your opportunity address the committee if you approach i will start your time once you speak. good morning, i'm katie ladel i lived across the street from pier's 3032 and sea wall lot 330 since 1998. i'm cochair of the port's northern advisory committee and i was on the team to evaluate the developers for this project. centralitya was the front runner and they have done a great job

of public out reach. and it has not been easy. because there was some negative a lot of negativity around the residential part and strappeda listened. that is what i like about them they are great neighbors and listen. they actually removed 135 of the residential units. they held a number of meetings with hoa's. they had phone call in's. they did great public out reach. they changed the project and added 40,000 square feet for market hall to ensure public access. i personal low witnessed the favorable reception from the public for this revised plan at the northern advisory committee

meetings the retention of the deep water and investment to strengthen the sea wall are gifts on to which everything else. it has been 20 plus years of failed efforts for the piers they other right people to do it please approve this. thank you. thank you. next speaker, please. good morning rudy gonzalez with building and construction trade's we rise to support. not only the project in terms of the scope and bold vision. but to rise in support of the partners. you heard from the last speaker and i think you know not all developers are -- seeing equal low in the ice of working class people.

in am dwerp has a professional sxraep consider himself friends of working people in san francisco i can't say this about many in the city they finish when they start and this is as important to the relationship their track record of development this . would bring good jobs t. is down stream. i think supervisor mandelman brought up good points. i think this we will be here sooner than we might expect on the infrastructured and housing side. the fadzing is appropriate given market continues downtown and the urgent and needs to build and deliver housing. will i think that will help finance the other side of the project. there is often over locked from a job standpoint how impactful a megaproject can be. those will be important vehicles not just in terms of make sure you have a fall back position from financing perspective but

to make surety projects finish. we will bring on local businesses local workers that can start on a megaproject and journey out. we urge your supportful thank you. thank you. that completes our queue. >> thank you. public comment is closed. clothes i would first make a motion to move item 4 to full board with recommendation. and the roll call on this motion, please. >> on this motion. to move forward item 4 to the full board with positive recommendation. vice chair mandelman. >> aye >> member melgar. aye >> chair chan. >> aye.

bayview and jail methadone doing so. we detail the budget on page 35 of our report. and this contract was at the board a year ago at that time. we note third degree contractor on elevated concern status it did not mean compliance monitor criteria. and the department of public healing unable to produce performance data for the fiscal years of the contract. they were able to produce the performance data in this case. which shows improvement in terms of the administrative compliance requirement and the agreement as well as the number served. the contractor still not meeting the unit of service that is they are condition transacted for. this means initial therapy sessions or number of methadone

doses. there has been a slight improvement and part of that is due to the regular issue of not being able to start clients in the jill on methadone unless they are register in the opioid treatment program. part of that is because of the staffing according to dph. this contractor remains on concern. and i think one of the key issues for us is that they are working on the odd and i financial statement. for the past 2 fiscal years. i think this that financial issues they do pose a risk to programming. and it is for this reason we had considered approval for the board. i think with this shorter term extension rather than multiyear extension. a shorter term through calendar 25 would provide additional

oversight and recommend approval of this resolution as amended. >> thank you. i that say question for the d. public health. is is there a pass in the event here is how i vow this is in the just about the bafz view here in the i think if -- many have heard me the saying this before about many partners and organizations. that clear have for whatever reason it is -- now is in a status that is no longer ideal for the city to continue to be a partner. financing, staffing shortage and whatever it is. and is there alternative like a path to continue the service. the end of the day this is built

people we must serve with public dollars. so while i want to see and hope that the organization does turn around in what internal w they must do to get there. i hope that they do. in the thevent they don't, what is the city's like recourse. when can we do what is the plan? do you have a plan b? >> we have existing service providers for covering ops treatment services and uniqueness is the station in the southeast working with the african-american communities. primary low plan to ensure the success of the agency meeting financial obligations and staffing. it is come to the worse case we have to think of plan b. we do have a mobile treatment available in the southeast areas of town. if needed we can up the capacity. this is not plan we want to go

toward making sure we enter the civic program. able to do both. out parent community base. it is the staffing with the cull roll competency and being able to be available to the community that really -- take time to build the trust and to be able to come back and return for treatments and on going treatments in the space. i do hope that in the event given fact that i want to say on the record that what i was hoping for is a one year extension and to come back and to able to have the conversations given the fact that is now with the additional time. i hope december of 25 we don't wait until then but that before then. you know meaning before when the

end of the fiscal year of 2025. we are able to understand -- where we are heading. we meet with them to fine tune on the technical assistance approaches making sure clients that serve this is the bottom line we are looking at >> thank you i don't see names. go to public comment on the item. >> we have no speakers.

>> agree with the analyst and the d. public health we scale back this contract in the proposed amendments you should have a copy in front of you you will see a reduced dollar amount of not to exceed from 19 million dollars to now 15 million dollars or so. and you see to scale back instead of skun 30. 27 no december of 2025 and for the increase amount is scaling back from 7.8 mission to 3.8 million dollars. a little over. and those changes were maid both in the short and long title on page one and then again throughout the legislation on page two. and so with this amendment, i would like to make a motion to

serviceutilization and stable housing and health care for extended period of time we look at transitioning people to the next level of care. we are always positioned the system of care. know that ill sentence not linear in recovery is not linear. if somebody deteriorates we are able to step people back up to the level of care to support them regaining stabilization in the community. we are requesting a retroact ever authorization of the contract. there were delays in agreements and finalizations. and some intensive negotiationings with the renalingents of university california and the city related to a disagreement with the computer system around data chairing. that has been resolved we are requesting this this retroactive

standardized language we feel protects us. and that result in the a long negotiation. but i believe our standard terms were adopted. >> we prevailed. >> thank you. and here i want to confirm again and so, we understand this the contract itself is the expectation with 575 clients being served and looks like the cost of that is 1, 723 per client per month. and of that it seems like ucsf met they achieved 100% of the contracted units. but the contracted performance objectives this is for the 21-22 years. that ucsf met 74% of the

contracted performance objective. somehow with the mixed results and that -- the department of public health department over all, program performance and compliance rating at 93%? could you walk us through a bit about the performance management piece? a mix of like 1 huh hub %. units met? and then yes, you know only 74% of the were performance. help us understand how you came to the conclusion the over all performance compliance is 93%? >> absolutely appreciate this. i will note that they have exceeded their contract units of service and unduplicated claims. they really and despite the staffing challenges we know exist support people in the community. that said in terms of performance i appreciate that i

will say we are there are changes helping in the system now in regards to cal aim and directives from the state. some of this has been lt lead to a learning curve in terms of documentation and in for us as a deputy in terms of changes that are necessary in the performance objectives. i will say like both understanding there is a learning curve for the program. there are things we needed to do to modify and begin it was determine third degree the program over all met their contract and performance objectives and exceed units of service, of course. we monitor programs and work close beely with citywide the largest case management program. and so i'm confidence. in when they provide. i think it is more of a learning opportunities for us as a system. how we best navigate the data

dph enter in amendments or modifications to the contract prior. >> mr. troy williams. thank you for being year i have questions. >> thank you. good morning. chair chan and vice chair mandelman and supervisor melgar i'm troy williams d. public health new chief nursing officer for the health network. this is a role that was created to aline nursing throughout the network and although i work in the dph the past 29 years my first day in the february i am looking forward you know to -- serve nothing this new leadership role. thank you, today for the

opportunity to discuss the amendments. for our trifacta registry contract. and use of nursing rej streets. you know the department service 100,000 patients a year at san francisco general hospital. serves the most vulnerable the city's only safety net laguna honda. more through neighborhood centers and more. we're grateful to 1400 nurses commitmented to the mission providing amazing care every day. as a nurse, and a front line nurse in the department in the psychiatric emergency room at san francisco general. a nurse lead and health air quality professional. i understand the importance of having permanent employees care

for patients. foster stability and contnewt of care and this is a priority for me in my role. later we'll get highlights on efforts for hiring permanent nurse we are excited tell you about now the legislation before you today. i the discuss contract amendments to the registry contract. and provide over view of nursing registry why we use it and stabilize and decrease the usage already. conclude with information about significant improvements to oversight and accountability when we use registry nursing staff now in place. i like to give an over view and provide context what nursing registry is. sorry. dph is grateful to the nursing

staff for hard work and dedication. we have two goals related to nursing one to support well being of nurse. especially if loved once are sick or have leave due to burn out or other reasons and second committed to consistent and high quality care for patients. >> even with the highest number of rn's positions in the department's history in priority to fill these with silv service. classification of nurse we must subelement our nursing staff for consistent and high quality patient care. we meet patient staff ratios and ratios established with unions throughout the use. the reason i'm here is to question the approval of amendment 3 to the agreement with trifacta and dph. this will increase the agreement

by 1.5 million for a total amount not to exceed 11.4 million. if approved our intent to close this contract after the payment is made. like to give an over view and provide context had nursing registry is and why we use it. we must supplement the nursing staff to provide high quality patient care this ensures we meet state and union mo u patient to staff ratios and the department cease 4 drivers. one, back fill leave. fill vacant positions, address patient surges and to back fill new nurse are on boarded and trained. when we need supplement the staff due to these reasons we seek volunteers to work over

time. or as nurses we call them p 103's allows existing staff to pick up extraists should. when needed we use registry nurse. rn is a list of nurse licensed and trained to practice nursing in cal camp use registry as this is an industry standard and a tool that health care systems throughout the country use to ensure safe compliant care. as you see from this slide i thank you is important, registry is a small fraction of the nursing staffing the vast majority is administered by silv service staff am you can see the 4% registry projected for 23-24 is below national averages and represents a steady decrease. in talking to colleagues of mine you see registry from 10-20%.

4% is really good. for this contract i like to call your attention to unprecedentsed events this is required the trifacta. first we experienced surging in patients due covid-19 in laguna honda. this required increase use of registry during the surges especially in the winter. we experienced early flu season. laguna honda 2 year recertification with covid which we don't anticipate recurring. the use of registry for patient care under went hospital

retraining effort included 80,000 hours of training. required achieve recertificationch laguna honda had to rely on registry to back fill society staff could go to training tied to recert ifshgz. 3 full scale organization wide multiple day training, 4 weeks of cpr for all and back filling positions. so all nursing staff wound care and infection training. one placey we see surge system zuker berg largest acute care facility. busiest emergency department and the only level one trauma center serving san francisco in northern san mateo countet only public safety net hospital we

turn nobody away and operate over 100% capacity. there were challenge for thes w force and stabilized we are still recovering. we experience health care professionals got sick in covid or had to take leave. many staff experienced durb out and took leaves while others made the difficult decision t retire due to the demands ovrt last few years. surges required the use of registry to serve patients who have nowhere tolls go. surges make it difficult to establish baseline and the goal alined with my kosovo pursue evidence base strategies for reliable baseline for needs relating to surge. this will lay the grounds work

for a health care environment prioritizing the staff and the patients we serve. temporary traveling nurse registry personnel specifically licensed vocational and registered nurse. laguna honda used trifacta nursing to back fill during the covid-19 surges and laguna honda recertification i spoke b. this is yet contract is over spent by 1.5 million. dp my colleague the dph controller can answer questions about that. we are asking you to approve the promoezed amendments if approved dph willpate overage amount of 1.5 million and close out the

trifacta contract. because pandemic related burn out took the toll on our staff and the health care workers around the world, we are focusod hiring and retaining nurse staff. also focussing on wellness at work. we have important information to share about improvement in hiring resulted in significant hires over the past 2 years we continue stabilize operations after the pandemic. these enhancements resulted in the most rn's that dph had in history. with 135 new position added since 2019. we have the full time equal of 1500 registered nurse positions. we are seeing retention and reduction leaves also drove the use of registry and the end of the fiscal year this is exciting we plan to have no more then and

there a 5% vacancy rate. weer well on our way toward that goal. even as we focus we will need to supplement the nursing staffment with level of registry of health care system dom we believe that because of the impacts of covid and lug luge are stable. and with the great stride in hiring.

does once the drivers are addressed it allows to identify which contract positions canning cancel in the real time that the work we are doing. we will dot same in san francisco general. as we refine the process. a registry review and the unions lead by human resource. we can monitor and include them

in discussions. over site and accountability will be 1 huh human % data driven. we review registry use every day and monthly with leaders looking for opportunity to reduce our use. biweek rew meetings with hr sdmursing leadership to review vaccance and hes expediting hiring is happening i had the opportunity to attends a few meeting its is excite to see hr partnering with nursing leaders identifying vacancies and developing miring plans to get folkos board quickly. in conclusion our goals remain to protect special support the well being of nursing staff and provide consistent and high quality parent care to people who need us. we have a minor amendment to the resolution.

we submitted them to the board clerk for your consideration. dph requests approval of the proposed resolution for amendment number 3 to the trifecta contract. i want to say thank you very much supervisors very nice to meet you and my new xroel if there is any more closing comments i'm the responsible leader for nursing registry use. i hope in term when is we talked about monitoring and oversight this falls to me. so, we look forward to making progress in this area. with that, i have my colleague drew the controller for dph and tim from hr and happy to answer questions you may have. >> item twhefl is a resolution approving the public healing contract with trifecta contract nurse. the amendment increases the not

to exceed by 1.5 million dollars thshg is not for service going forward it is to pay invoices incured over a year ago. and then there was a bilge dispute that is why this islet in coming to the board of supervisors. this contract was the result of a competitive press this occur in the 2020. was used to fund contract nurse to provide covid-19 back fill. at public hospital and back fill nurses training part of recertification at laguna honda. swon tht contract has basic performance metrics the department did not track we don't have data specific to this

contract. and we note the rates are high. they started 150 an hour. for the service this is consistent -- 95% of the billing. that's higher than the top including benefits of registered nurse in tan san francisco. also higher than the krsz country contract nursing rate. this is the other has been the other provider of contract nurse for san francisco. this contract does have the option to extend it through june of 27. department procured the service or finalizing a contract. that does seem like a positive development. we consider approval a policy matter for the burden >> thank you. supervisor melgar. >> thank you, chair chan, thank

you for the presentation. so, we spoke earlier this week and i'm not going to say anything i have not told you perjury low but wanted it on the records and for my colleagues, we are at laguna honda going through a moment and we fully convinced we will come out successful. you have been folks through this contract because we need the staffing. that said, it is in the ideal. you know one thing that the staff at lug loug prides thoemgz the relationship with the patient. fact that people speak people native language. go out of their way to sing in

their language to do people's nails and you know. thez personal relationships are important. and hard to have when somebody is coming through. i support your efforts and glad you are in the position you are in. you know we need safe staffing. and remember we must recruit permanent staff. that is something i will insist on. one of the things i asked the department is that one of the most powerful recruitment tools in terms of benefits is child care. a generaling and the laguna honda. that is being planned. the project at laguna honda has been stalled because of the recertification issues. ironically, now it seems like things are moving forward that is positive. my predecessor former president yee insisted we have childcare on the floor of the affordable

housing facility built in the laguna honda camp us and that will be available to staff at laguna honda. the greater community and i think tell make a difference but general hospital, we put that promise in the collective bargaining agreement with sciu17 years ago. despite a reboulevard h. and raised manslaughter of dollars we have not made a dent. in this promise. so i am going to insist you then and there after we approve this, we work together and have a good faithef effort to make that promise come true. there have been grievances filed against the city the union won we are in the wrong. we are not putting this -- great recruitment tool in our tool box and a promise we made.

so, with that i will support this but i also. to put you on notice i hold you accountability to this because it is really important. >> thank you >> thank you. gi want to walk through the trifecta contract kwivenlg it was issue of 5 million dollars. and that is when we are looking at in 2021. and then now by fwent 24 we are look at a totality of 11. 4 million dollars out of which we have billing dispuchlt i don't understand if we are wrapping up with this contract we have to pay them. asouffléing the bilge dispute result at the 11.4 million why are we crossing out reoct activity and need until december of 24? and so help me understand.

instead of saying this money is to help us end the contract in may of 23 because that is really where we stop. we have not used trifecta 23/24, anyways. and why don't we retroactive low approve amendment and end it in may of upon 2023. and considering the 11.4 million dollars of the total which is in two short 2-1/2 years from 5 million to 11.4 million is an increase. walk me through what happened with the trifecta contract. >> i thank you. i can take a piece of the question about retroactivity. that originally when am we submitted the file we label today retroactive not realizing the contract had been extend think we needed to label it to

extend the contract. term. in dig into it we see clearly we -- got through the bilge dispute. agreed on the amount as of upon september and as long as the contract is still eligible it is not a retroactive question about request to increase the max amount to pay the final invoice. >> so i think for me and this may require to continue this we are having a conversation and i'm trying to understand. if we are saying dleerl says to enter in amendments or modification to the contract required to final institution by

all parties. can we have a more precise language incorporating in this resolution to clearly state that this 11 million dollars after the payment of this 11 mission we are done with trifecta.

>> but right now we anticipate that will carry us through the june 30 period. why 2025. 2025. >> so, this is going back only because again, i'm glad youor board now and being our chief and nursing officer.

i do have to say and go back again before your time is that last december the dph quail before us for a 39 million dollars over time and in that presentation specifically 100,000 hours of over time again from laguna honda and talked about we need to be recertified. we have to spends that today in the presentation on try facta not only we spend this 39. knife 5 million dollars. it was in the all laguna honda it was general hospital and the entire d. public health. we have certified nurse being assist analysis the highef spending on that list and the registered nurse the second. so it is not all laguna honda out theft 39. 5 million dollars

over time there is a combination of tlin million dollars over time was paid pie your own salary saving i'm not saying that you are over spendsock general fund but twhan, 39. 5 million dollars of over time spending within your salary saving and again you have the two sizeable and cross country sizeable contract. for on call nurse. that is my layperson way of. to help myself understand. that's a sizeable spends nothing nurse. 2 years ago the strategy and today i hear the strategy is that you are going to track it in real time about your hiring and also your need in real time so can you determine the need

for contracts in this you will work with hr now to continue to recruit am process. and i think supervisor melgar brought up a good points for the current nurses and existing working conditions and when really can retain them so they don't burn out. i will add-on another layer. focussing on hiring it is take more than a year. 395 days to hire a nurse. today, 3 years later i will add a larry is that recruitment what does that look like halfway through within city college you are now building a pipe line to retain nurses real time contract determine sxagz your recruitment?

>> good morning. i have unfortunately involved in the recruitment side of it from city college we can garth that information. in terms of time to hire, when nurses apply, we it is about 60-90 day with thes new process. process of hiring? hiring. from application from start of process to on boarding. yes. the eligible lists are active for being 6 months.

a monthly cycle. i think that today i'm not i want to say that well is a gap somewhere in this the reason i didn't believe you are here. i think there is a gap for a time now between the burn out and hiring and recruit am rate and over time spending. this gap is coming to ahead of usch glad you will sort this out by june 30 of 25. i do hope if i may say, that welcome aboard in february. get to work. and come back in june. what i'm expected to see is a comprehensive conversation about over time spending and projection and contract projection. for the two items. but you know dleerl is a budget

process. i will not dive in your hr, but i'm expecting by then you have your contract negotiated and wrap and up like a report back. how are the components are coming together. by june. >> i think there is one >> sorry go closer to the mic. >> i wanted point out worn slide -- that illustrates in the way that the way we see it. that a poison emphasis we provide details on recruitment time lines and efforts and things we have done to bolster this creation. we have results on increasing permanent hours for 23/24 for pc s nurses that drive down vacancy rate was an important part of ask increasing our civil service authority for registry

contracts. when we gollow and have to have nursing hour for the patient, we start with a pc s that's our first option. and we work to the tiers of over time. per diem and arriving at registry. to the extent we have tried to get our heads around the use of cross country and similar contracts, our first priority to drive down the vacancy rate. the fiscal or calendar >> fiscal year. of 24 by june. >> had a couple of questions

>> i view san francisco almost as a sibling or a parent or something. i just love the city. i love everything about it. when i'm away from it, i miss it like a person. i grew up in san francisco kind of all over the city. we had pretty much the run of the city 'cause we lived pretty close to polk street, and so we would -- in the summer, we'd all all the way down to aquatic park, and we'd walk down to the library, to the kids' center. in those days, the city was safe and nobody worried about us running around. i went to high school in spring

valley. it was over the hill from chinatown. it was kind of fun to experience being in a minority, which most white people don't get to experience that often. everything was just really within walking distance, so it make it really fun. when i was a teenager, we didn't have a lot of money. we could go to sam wong's and get super -- soup for $1. my parents came here and were drawn to the beatnik culture. they wanted to meet all of the writers who were so famous at the time, but my mother had some serious mental illness issues, and i don't think my father were really aware of that, and those didn't really become evident until i was about five, i guess, and my marriage blew up, and my mother

took me all over the world. most of those ad ventures ended up bad because they would end up hospitalized. when i was about six i guess, my mother took me to japan, and that was a very interesting trip where we went over with a boyfriend of hers, and he was working there. i remember the open sewers and gigantic frogs that lived in the sewers and things like that. mostly i remember the smells very intensely, but i loved japan. it was wonderful. toward the end. my mother had a breakdown, and that was the cycle. we would go somewhere, stay for a certain amount of months, a year, period of time, and she would inevitably have a breakdown. we always came back to san francisco which i guess came me some sense of continuity and that was what kept me sort of stable. my mother hated to fly, so she would always make us take ships places, so on this particular occasion when i was, i think,

12, we were on this ship getting ready to go through the panama canal, and she had a breakdown on the ship. so she was put in the brig, and i was left to wander the ship until we got to fluorfluora few days later, where we had a distant -- florida a few days later, where we had a distant cousin who came and got us. i think i always knew i was a writer on some level, but i kind of stopped when i became a cop. i used to write short stories, and i thought someday i'm going to write a book about all these ad ventures that my mother took me on. when i became a cop, i found i turned off parts of my brain. i found i had to learn to conform, which was not anything i'd really been taught but felt

very safe to me. i think i was drawn to police work because after coming from such chaos, it seemed like a very organized, but stable environment. and even though things happening, it felt like putting order on chaos and that felt very safe to me. my girlfriend and i were sitting in ve 150d uvio's bar, and i looked out the window and i saw a police car, and there was a woman who looked like me driving the car. for a moment, i thought i was me. and i turned to my friend and i said, i think i'm supposed to do this. i saw myself driving in this car. as a child, we never thought of police work as a possibility for women because there weren't any until the mid70's, so i had only even begun to notice there were women doing this job. when i saw here, it seemed like this is what i was meant to do. one of my bosses as ben johnson's had been a cop, and

he -- i said, i have this weird idea that i should do this. he said, i think you'd be good. the department was forced to hire us, and because of all of the posters, and the big recruitment drive, we were under the impression that they were glad to have us, but in reality, most of the men did not want the women there. so the big challenge was constantly feeling like you had to prove yourself and feeling like if you did not do a good job, you were letting down your entire gender. finally took an inspector's test and passed that and then went down to the hall of justice and worked different investigations for the rest of my career, which was fun. i just felt sort of buried alive in all of these cases, these unsolved mysteries that there were just so many of them, and some of them, i didn't know if we'd ever be

able to solve, so my boss was able to get me out of the unit. he transferred me out, and a couple of weeks later, i found out i had breast cancer. my intuition that the job was killing me. i ended up leaving, and by then, i had 28 years or the years in, i think. the writing thing really became intense when i was going through treatment for cancer because i felt like there were so many parts that my kids didn't know. they didn't know my story, they didn't know why i had a relationship with my mother, why we had no family to speak of. it just poured out of me. i gave it to a friend who is an editor, and she said i think this would be publishable and i think people would be interested in this. i am so lucky to live here. i am so grateful to my parents who decided to move to the city. i am so grateful they did. that it neverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
