we also provide both pre-nd post exposure prophylactics for hiv prevention we also provide a range of women's reproductive health services including contraception, emergency contraception. sometimes known as plan b. pap smears and [inaudible]. we are was entirely [inaudible]people will come as soon as were open even a little before opening. weight buries a lip it could be the first person here at your in and out within a few minutes. there are some days we do have a pretty considerable weight. in general, people can just walk right in and register with her front desk seen that day. >> my name is yvonne piper on the nurse practitioner here at sf city clinic. he was the first time i came to city clinic was a little intimidated. the first time i got treated for [inaudible]. i walked up to the redline and was greeted with a warm welcome i'm chad redden and anna client of city clinic >> even has had an std clinic since all the way back to 1911. at that time, the clinic was founded to provide std diagnosis treatment for sex workers. there's been a big increase in std rates after the earthqu

the country to provide asylum to see him and this country is rick legally required to provide this asylum in accordance for example with our constitution article forty two. so any other questions. it would. be. could you please move forward i cannot see you. so if the application to receive diplomatic status and citizenship. is your so and. equality of rights is something that is. something that happens than when a person is granted citizenship so when a person is granted citizenship he. receives all the rights of a citizen of a country where they he is currently inside the country all outside said country. what i mean is. providing granting citizenship naturalization. when others news agency. you. mentioned. when talking about citizenship. you talked about granting citizenship and naturalization. naturalization is just a legal to our law. and as for the application to receive citizenship. you know you don't know how long. to provide additional. safety. security to mr. we looked at this alternative only in order to provide this security this legal security. and all of this is. accordance.

then we provide some information in the form of a report. it's sort of like doing a google search except you are not doing a million or 6 million hits of data. you are asking a physician to provide the report to you. the next one is the interconsultation. that is our brand name for what is the virtual second opinion service and you can see that we had actually hit what best doctors had identified as a target, so we had targeted 102 closed cases for quarter three, and we had just hit that number, so that's spectacular. and the last one is medical records e summary. basically that service is collecting a person's medical records, it goes back between 2 to 5 years. we want to make sure that everything is current. we put all of the data into a secure flash drive and then fedex it to the members. that way if they are travelling overseas, or if they are travelling across state lines, o if they are looking for a new physician, all of their current and relevant medical records are in one place. this slide is basically showing you how exactly we are

to provide working capital. it is recourse only to clean power s.f. revenues and the cost depends on particular -- a particular use that we require of the facility and that also the debt service coverage ratio of clean power at the time. so there is an undrawn fee for the total amount of the facility which is 50 basis points. there is a feeze for any letter of credit that is issue on behalf of power contracting, counterparties which ranges depending on debt service coverage of the enterprise and then there is a charge for revolving credit which is based on one month libor, plus a spread. this agreement is not unlike many of the other credit agreements that we have for the water and waste water enterprise. it contains a number of covenants and commitments that we make, that the commission makes to counterparty. and the covenants that we've made are consistent with the clean power business practice policies as well as the commission's reserve policies that it's established. i wanted to highlight three of the coven

the staff is not only providing the medical care, they're providing the social services that go with helping people transition into permanent housing. our goal has to be to make sure people are taken care of and this is one way to do that. to go from 45 to 75 beds is tremendous. which means we have a larger capacity to serve more people and that means everything for the person using this service. so i'm happy to be here today. i want to thank the staff and everyone who has been active in making sure that this space is not only providing care, but is providing compassion and support and resources because we want to make sure it's a wrap-around service that will eventually help people into something permanent where they have homes to live and the support they need to be sustainable in our housing market that is so challenging for so many. thank you for being here and with that, i want to turn it over to my colleague supervisor kim who has been a champion and an important part of making this possible. the funding and all of the things we needed to do to get this place open, she was a fi

for example wanted to provide lower cost or even free content, provided sponsored data, it's those opportunities would not be blocked by a government regulator. imagine if "steve jobs" had to present his pricing plan to the fcc as he was thinking about the future of the iphone. i don't think we would have one. if jack dorsey had to submit for prior approval to the fcc or to another government body content service ideas for approval, i don't think we would have this wonderful company called twitter which has been transformative in so many societies but i think we need to take a step back and realize that our consumers are aligned in trying to find innovation and choice and opportunities and that we do have the full protections that are available through institutions like federal government, courts and states to ensure there are fair dealings and no anti- competitive behavior in our internet. >> you mentioned the early days of companies like twitter and apple, it strikes me that there could have also been other outcomes if they couldn't afford to have traffic, for instance, so i guess this is sort

provide, could have provided many months ago had it been requested. i think that those issues are not going73 to go away regardless of how the seventh circuit rules -- senate circuit rules. >> thank you brian. i know there are questions, but we will keep those to the very end. we are going to hear from two mayors who have adopted policies and are engaged in litigation of a state preemptive measures that they are dealing with in their cities and states. first, we will hear from the mayor of gary, indiana. >> good afternoon. thank you to chairman garcetti for the opportunity to share our experience with you. indiana is not a city that has a large immigrant population, but we are a city that was built by immigrants. 2017, we took upon arselves to pass welcoming, welcoming city ordinance. specificance was very in a number of aspects, but it specifically said, and this is something that members of the conference actually said to a journey -- attorney general sessions, that we are not going to spend our precious resources ensuring that our local police cert

just to highlight what we provided. in the next 30 days, we cited the focus on successfully implementing our new laws that are operational on january 1. this includes implementation of prop t, lobbyist measure that campaigns campaign contributions from lobbyisting bundling and giving gifts. and also super peskin's payments reporting by board and commission members. both of these are significant because they were requiring us to complete the technological innovations to enable the disclosure requirements to be in place. steven massie and team have been working to make that happen in a digital format. we also know we need to provide those who are affected by these laws with information so they are aware of and know how to comply. for the next six months, we cited our core initiatives for enactment. in addition to providing election-related compliance guidance to those to the upcoming, under the legislative initiatives we cited two. one was anti-corruption and accountability that the commission referred, and, secondly, whi

having been a provider myself, the elder index, it is a complicated form to use. especially as mike said, because it is self-reported. this is a much more straight forward -- it's easier quite frankly, for people that are doing the intake form to kind of indicate. and more often than not, a lot of the clients served do fall within that sort of range anyway. >> sure, it's definitely not lost through the contracts, that we are look agent 200, 300%. thank you. >> president serina: any other questions regarding 7-b? any comments or questions from the public? hearing none, call the question, all in

and it reported all the recipe cards provided were used up so they have a new recipe they'll be providing the next quarter coming ahead. we'll have an update on the housing during regular agenda but i want to highlight we'll be having an open house saturday january 20th between 10:00 and 2:00 targeted to the residents of the villages. those sha that have benefits under the thr&rs and will be open to all residents. at the end of november we traveled with ticd to washington, d.c. to meet with the department of labor regarding access to easements to property that improved the communications we've been having with them and resulted in the agreement on the consent calendar today. we continue to work on temporary and permanent easements we'll need to improve construction of easements adjacent to job corp property. also discuss the department of labor their long-term planning effort with the improvement of their facilities. the bay bridge project oversight committee in december authorized the proposed retention of pier e2 we discussed at prior meetings. as outgrowth of that there's an m.o.u. on

the service provided will augment the services provided in adhc setting and attract the lgbtq seniors and adult with disability population who have historically shied away from this type of support because of the lack of appropriate and qualified providers. to assure program is appropriate and staff is well trained, steppingstone will subcontract with open house to staff training and staff that is of interest to the lgbtq community. they will outreach to the open house community, including staff, community members and senior center participants with the idea building a working relationship, trust in the lgbt community. steppingstone will serve at least 36 consumers and provide 1400 hours of service during this grant agreement. i request approval for the grant and if happy to answer questions. >> president serina: thank you, this is a very worth while program, something i've been championing issues along the lines for the lgbt senior community for the tenure i've had on the commission and i'm happy they will be working with open house. because they do have the expertise, they know how

or kaiser, their own provider. i want to know what percentage of your calls are significant in, around the second opinion sort of service, and how many of them are just misdirected calls that shouldn't even be counted in your end. ok, because, or i want to see that n, for that number of misdirected calls. that is not efficient, that is really not a useful service if all it does is cause confusion among our members. so, second opinion, yes. i think we really need to emphasize the value of that, and every communication to every person. second opinion. you know, not call me because you know, somebody did not pay my bill right or somebody you know, i'm not quite sure what to do about this problem, what should i do. i just don't see that as being your role. >> sure. >> i can tell you that i'm using bigger numbers, statistically speaking. we are not getting a majority of callers that should be talking to their medical provider because of some billing inquiry or mix-up. a lot of the questions come from not quite understan

there's not providers. but the how do we get traction to influence whole policy wholesale vamping not just to provide it but to actually then ensure quality. irs i want to stymie this flood. we look at outcomes for those quality.talk about at improving the quality of the system when 10 times the amount of people are being incarcerated. when you look at problems with the mental health system, you look at outcomes within the system and we are blind to the fact that the majority of mentally ill are in prison and have not been looked at. as the commission reported, you are talking about a fractured system that is not much of a system. if you take your kid to the emergency room, they can be chained to a gurney and waiting three or four days before they see anyone. -- even ifis broken you want help, trying to get into it is nearly impossible. this goes to one of my ideas about dangerousness and we have to implement a system to help people before they get to stage four that leads them to jails or prisons. >> thank

providers. we have rules that apply in terms of how they're supposed to react, in terms of receiving and transmitting the alerts. on the alert -- on the alert origination side, on the fema side, i'd have to refer more to them. i will say that just in terms of general coordination, the fcc has, at times, coordinated -- well, not just at times, but regularly coordinates with fema in terms of things such as testing or -- or some of -- dealing with some of the issues that go to our rule making. to give you an example, with respect to the eas, there's a lot of states on the -- particularly on the western side of the country who do tsunami and earthquake tests, and they want to use the live code eas, which, under our rules, you can't use unless it's an actual emergency. we have waived our rules to allow the broadcasters, the cable operators, to transmit that live code test as part of the broader tsunami exercise that fema may be doing with a state or local government. >> this isn't -- you know, i'm no

if any of america's internet providers or broadband providers or internet companies stray outside of those rules, consumers have enforcement mechanisms that they can turn to make sure that those companies are held to task. and that's the, i think, the important point. net neutrality will continue to thrive and, i think, be strengthened because it will be extended beyond broadband providers to the entire internet ecosystem is, and that's a great thing for consumers. >> host: jonathan spalter is the president and ceo of the trade association ustelecom, and kyle daly works on telecom issues for bloomberg law. gentlemen, thank you. >> guest: thank you very much. >> well, every month for the past 20 years one of the nation's top nonfiction authors has joined us on our "in depth" program for a fascinating three-hour conversation about their work. just for 2018, "in depth" has invited 12 fiction authors onto our set, authors of historical fiction, national security thrillers, science writers, social commentators like colson whitehead and brad thor, brad metzer e gerald dean brooks and many

provide 10 have to essential benefits. many of which the individual market did not provide before. prescription drug coverage. mental health, substance abuse care. they had to offer the benefits , peoplethe other side had to pay much more out of pocket before benefits kicked in. that was how they would keep the premiums affordable. and theush on a balloon other side goes up. before the affordable care act, premiums were relatively low. if you were healthy. but if you needed a benefit, you were basically out of luck. so we moved the individual market in a different place. we created winners and losers. some people are doing much better and others are doing much worse. host: at what point does that trajectory become unsustainable? guest: that is the question. the insurance industry has a problem with it. they're worried that healthy people won't buy insurance although economists and analysts thought that the individual mandate wasn't strong to begin with. there were a lot of exceptions and people who could get out of it. and they are sure what impact that will have. the other issue i

finally, this slide sort of provides an overview of the equity analysis as provided by the charter language. i'm proud of the work we are doing in this effort. thanks to phil's leadership on this and taylor. the top table sort of highlights the capital plan initiatives that specifically address equity. all of this equity initiatives are currently ongoing and include planning for building new parks in high needs and growing areas. collaborating on the civic center initiative. india basin is another one. in addition to the equity metrics, our equity metrics we use to evaluate the department's capital expenditure plan as a whole. this sort of illustrates our commitment to the equity zones. i want to emphasize in this slide, as you see, 53% of the department's total capital assets are in equity zones. 88,000 for one thousand people in equity zones compared to about 31,000 for the rest of the city. with that, i end my presentation. i will be happy to answer any questions you have. >> president buell: thank you. >> secretary: is there any public comment on this item? okay. being none, public comm

he has provided none. we have met seven times with the employer, as well as many phone conversations in an attempt to resolve this matter. he was given ample opportunity in keeping with mr. fung's question to have a hearing process. minimum wage ordinance provides for a full and fair hearing. he did not request that hearing or participate in a hearing. and eventually the bill came due. we continued to work with him through the dph process. we continued to meet with him. he, at one point, had made an offer of paying $500 a month, which was gonna take something in the neighborhood of 30 years to pay off, which we thought was unreasonable for workers making less than minimum wage. workers that were working often 12 hours and more per day. we did not think that was reasonable. and we discussed him taking out a business loan to pay for this, and that was the basis of the settlement agreement. he talks about some -- he brought in some letters that were supposedly signed by workers, saying they weren't owed money

of independent providers. in many cases, people already have somebody and this is an opportunity to formalize that care. we are one of the great advocates for the program with senior and disability action and along with hand in hand are providing resources to our clients to help them with that process as well. >> and specifically, what are the services that you can provide? is there a limit? i don't mean limit to the money or time, but actual, physical care? >> uh-huh. domestic services are covered. and that includes errands and laundry, cleaning and general housework, accompaniment to medical employments. the limitations of a home care agency. so it's not nursing care or that sort of thing. >> right. okay. thank you. >> all right. sally, you had one more question? >> yes. i have a question. young adult who lives with his or her parents but is over 18, would the fact that the -- would the parents' income play into the eligibility? >> that's a good question. we are finding in this pilot program that a lot of th

and the mayor's office directly. >> thank you. >> do we provide e.a.p. to the retirees and the message is this is available to them because the woman that trained me had been a city manager for a while and our department and she was quite upset. she knew mayor lee quite well and believed value over the decades. >> unfortunately we did not provide it as a retiree? >> >> i'd also have you take note of several articles that are contained in the director's report both for your education and he had they're not pinpoint ing any particular provider or health system but they are of interest of our working relationships with some of these entities so i would call that to your attention and also i believe buried in the report maybe it's coming up in the finance report and i'll be corrected by you is a highlight we're working on r.f.p.s? >> working for something in particular? >> yes. >> well -- >> it was not in my report. >> it's not in your report, it must be elsewhere. >> so with that are there any other questions? any public comments on the director's report if

vets the largest nonprofit and service provider in the country providing housing and services and providing homelessness prevention, employment to 5,000 veterans. i'm the president of the california association of veterans service agencies comprised of nonprofits that collectively provide housing and care to more than 25,000 veterans each year. despite hundreds of millions of dollars spent and the best efforts of hundreds of communities, there are still more than 40,000 veterans living on the streets and that number is ridesing across the nation. in california the number of homeless veterans rose 20% in 2017 and los angeles, 57%. despite this upward trend it seems there's no longer an emphasis in determination to get every veteran off the streets. this shift and focus is evident in two ways, the proposal by the v.a. out of the special projects category where it is protected and placing the dollars in the general fund. they have said they will not shift the dollars, and second, the v.a. overall management of the hud program. insufficient data collection and inadequate outcome measures. toget

why did you provide the alternate scenario? >> well, first of all, it is not clear that the alternate scenario would have gotten the different numbers that you suggest. let me just put it that way. because they are changing the baseline and it had to effects. the premiums were higher, while at the same time the coverage is lower. also, when we talk about the 15. let's go back to the 15 million dropping medicaid. it is really, most of that is not a decline in medicaid but it is a, the legislation and in the expansion medicaid. so those were people who primarily don't have medicaid and won't get it over the next 10 years we would have under current law at the time. so we are not really talk about people dropping medicaid. >> this is just a simple math. you can come up with an estimate and compare this against the baseline. and you're not providing the american people with the information. thank you, mr. chairman. >> again, it will be an opportunity at the end to submit additional questions and we might want to have answered. next

having been a provider myself, the elder index, it is a complicated form to use. especially as mike said, because it is self-reported. this is a much more straight forward -- it's easier quite frankly, for people th a

>> in terms of the communication provider side, certainly the fcc works with the service providers and we have rules about how they're supposed to react in receiving and transmitting dealers. on the fema side i would have to refer more to them. i will say, that in terms of general coordination, the fcc has a time, not just at times, but regularly coordinates with fema in terms of things like testing or dealing with some of the issues that go with our rulemaking. for example, there's a lot of states particularly on the western side of the country who to synonymy in earthquake tests. they want to use the live code. which under the rules you can't use less it's an emergency. working with other broadcasters and participants we have waived the rules to allow them to transmit that live code test as part of the broader sternotomy exercise that fema may be doing with the state or local government pgh so, trying to stump the panel, i think it's more that we have a gap here. in our state because of the national guard the texas sector so strong they've establish hygiene issues. here the ten thing

we have provided insurance through this bill. i am a democrat with my governor john kasich infighting that. what is not in this bill is what there should be for the community health centers. state,h carolina and my there are two hospitals closed. the announced closure. two major hospitals. slightly underwn 40,000 people. the closest hospital is 20 to 25 minutes away for emergency care in canton. a hospital in dayton that has announced closure, partly because of what this body, with its attacks on health insurance -- we know it has made our health care system less stable. we know how this bill has been written. down the hall, about 100 feet, senator mcconnell. the repeal act -- the tax reform bill, where 80% of the tax cuts went to the richest 1% of people was written in senator mcconnell's office by a bunch of wall street and corporate people. 49 democrats in this body and we represent more than half the population of this country, yet we were not even included in the discussions. ,his is the first time, ever where one party cont

the abortion providers, mr. speaker, who neglect to provide professional care to these babies or worse, who kill them once they are born, must be held accountable. finally, i believe it's very important to note to counter some of the things you will hear from the other side of the aisle that this bill provides crucial protections for women. this bill protects women who seek abortions by prohibiting them from being prosecuted under the law. h.r. 4712 also empowers women. it allows them to sue abortionists who don't provide protection for aborted babies who are born alive. this is very important, mr. speaker. take the case of a woman named angela who went to a clinic in orlando, florida, when she was 23 weeks pregnant. angela received pills to begin contractions to induce an abortion. after an hour of labor, mr. speaker, angela delivered her baby alive into a toilet. angela had her friend call 911 to request help to save her baby, but when the paramedics arrived on the scene, clinics staff reportedly turned them a

another agency provides services. another agency provides money management. it takes the whole village to help one person and it's not just a one step get them off the street, if all you do is take someone off the street and put them in a room and never talk to them, you have moved the homeless camp indoors. you haven't changed anything. so it's critical to have the wrap around services that are a part of that program. >> i know mayor ed lee has talked about the need for more navigation centers that has those wrap around services right on site. >> are you involved in those? >> we are doing pilot projects with episcopal community services with folks who are finally able to get into permanent housing, we are doing pilot programs with them around money management services taylored to those people, but it is a -- it's a long process, and stabilization takes time when you have been living on the street. >> for years. >> and the survival skills you need to live on the street which are critical to survive do not serve you well when you are in housing. fighting with

and then we would provide the information to the member. we also offer to do a warm transfer, because we do realize that if you sometimes just hand it to the member, they are not going to follow through. so we make sure to offer to do the warm transfer for them. and the same thing holds true with any of the other vendor programs that you have. we don't have everything displayed here, for example. one of the things that we are not displaying on this slide is any of the tobacco cessation programs than could be we didn't do outbound programs. they don't have a case that related to the smoking cessation or referrals. so these are in bound to best doctors or out bound to one of the benefit partners. i'm sure that sometimes it might be a little surprising to see that we have a little bit of lower numbers from particular vendor partners or even from the h.s.s. wellness team, and one of the great things we do is integrative projects or discussions and that we revisit any opportunities for referral and integration. and so that's ongoing right now. >

perhaps across the country and the technology really is providing opportunity for them to provide this care and to support their loved ones as much as possible so profess that we had a series of tweets from tommy and tell me jean b. and has out sinus and he says he told us too many things developed and that it is expected that people living with disabilities will adapt to the technology not the other way round expecting a person living with dementia to adapt that is going to their views that can affect how keen they elton's the technology how are you approaching his how are you getting people with disabilities with the aging issues how you can even write down at the beginning yeah then the net this is a critical aspect we want many past technologies have failed to really provide that support so what we're doing in major well with our researchers and our students and our partners is really teaching them how do and gauge seniors and caregivers right at the get go we're not really looking at seniors and these individuals as you know kind of time that token older person as part of project

but it will provide the exceptional healthcare program for low-income children. to be upset exactly what they want and is irresponsible. and then when it comes to the issue of immigration. so this attempt is totally shortsighted as a partisan maneuver to harm our troops and the most vulnerable moments. i hope some of those in the democratic party will rethink the leaders opposition for funding the government that is what we are talking about and that is what this does there is still time to come together with those priorities facing the nation and i hope cooler heads will prevail that people in the chamber will come to their sentence -- senses with the funding bill to avoid a governmentre shutdown to fund the children's health insurance program over six years to set up the conditions arming the discussions to continue to resolve the outstanding issues that still need to come to a resolution. i hope they come to the realization and so a

america's emergency alert system provides timely information in these systems remain effective. to maintain the public's confidence when emergency alert is issued the public heath the call. today the bureau has a preliminary report today joining me is that deputy chief and an attorney advisor cybersecurity division and the deputy chief of the bureau of operation so these talented full salon with her bureau have produced an incredible amount of excellent work on this investigation the wireless emergency alert item considered shortly in the recent testimony before the senate commerce committee. all within a very, very very short timeframe. to the team as well as others in the bureau, thank you you have my pride and appreciation and i am grateful you are a part of the public safety and homeland security bureau family. i would also like to recognize our field agent with the enforcement bureau who assisted while we were on the ground in hawaii as part of the investigation. james will present the report. >> thank you for your kind words. as said on january 13 those that initiated a fa

in the absence of mechanisms provide assistance to impact a providers and disruptive practices. many have been forced to leave. given this is not hard to see why so many communities have responded and struggled to respond in why so many never fully recover after disaster that community resilience allies have leaving on the resilient to the health care sector. children account for 25% of the population and their unique vulnerability is remain preparedness and response activities at all levels. children are not little adults. i concur with the comments of my esteemed colleague but i would offer free conditional thoughts to the recommendations. first reauthorizing the strength of the hhs national advisory committee on children in disasters with subject matter experts from the public and private sector has provided insightful ideas. authorize the cdc children's preparedness unit which is proven to be an invaluable resource of the cdc pediatrician community schools and child serving institutions during recent emergencies such as zika. this unit is a vast -- best practice example of a

participating wireless providers were required to target alerts that is affected by emergency all providers are now required to transmit to a geographic area it is the area affected even smaller than a county so to further improve the system the commission will vote on an order requiring wireless providers to target alerts with the overreach of no more than one tenth of a mile requiring carriers to require the alerts over 24 hours hours we look forward to partnering with professionals from your jurisdiction to use the public alert and warning system during times of crisis. i look forward to any questions you may have. >> on behalf of ctia thank you for the opportunity to testify about the role of emergency alerts. commending for the focus on this issue in the leadership over the last decade going back to the war in act of 2006 that created the wireless emergency alert program. that partnership with public safety officials. since the launch it is a critical resource for hundreds of millions of american today serving more than 99% voluntarily participate in helping to locate those in danger t
