What is the total amount that is in this and therefore is this a percentage that allows that the funded will sustain goes back to a question when we accepted the last big gift and had them sold staff as recommended by the Controllers Office we were going to think as to how then we would make sure the fund continued to grow . John has the information. So we actually have been tracking the funding and expenditures for the last 5 years ive been here so lucky the last two years weve seen two sizeable donations first one was the doctor the living trust was half Million Dollars and o the from another doctor we were able to maintain the balance of pretty much balance and consistent from year by year at the beginning balance of 20132014 we started with one if the 4 million in the total gift fund balance this included 700000 in the stock so were going to the process of the stocks been sold we actually the loading progress ive seen we actually be able to keep this a value from what we estimated last year and the balance stayed as 2. 4 with the additional 4 hundred donation we are looking at were going to finish this 20142015 yearend with a balance this proposed to have 289,000 annual and 2. 8 million if no other donations will last more than 10 years but if we continue to get donations especially a big portion of the expenditures is reinforced by the friends of laguna honda so our team the hospital White Program and the neighborhood money those 3 things are reimbursement as demons. In addition to this. It is including in the and it is included okay. Commissioners any further questions if not, were prepared for the vote. All in favor, say i. I. Opposed . The Fund Expenditures is passed i assume no Public Comment. No Public Comment. Okay. Moeven to item 7 commissioners the draft dpw on naming the dpw facilities. Good afternoon, commissioners colleen Deputy Director and im here with a short presentation on a proposed policy on the naming or renaming of the department of Public Health facilities the city charter designates to the board of supervisors and the department to provide the naming or renaming of the Health Department the department of Public Health have defined as any building owned and operated by the department of Public Health and the equipment and rooms and internal or internal space you have a draft and this item is scheduled for the agenda for the next meeting for the final action not requiring a reduces resolution but in corneas with the city chapter you have designated the director of health as the sole dpw employee with the authority to provide you with recommendations for approval of naming and renaming of the department of Public Health facilities hospitals facilities you have the sole tort authority those are required with the Health Commission approval ambassador nonlease their owned by another parts of city require the board of supervisors so the pathway is from recommendations by leadership within the department through the director of Public Health and the department of Public Health makes the recommendation to the Health Commission additional forwards to the board of supervisors for the final pathway that is true for the renaming of gifts to the department of Public Health so that guess the summary of the policy you have the draft it is by the City Attorney and with the director of health and the leadership and you have it agendized for your action at the next meeting. Thank you, commissioners because it is an important policy were asking for your comments today and in the next several weeks no Public Comment at this point is there. No request for this item. Commissioner karshmer. Question is this changes from what has been the policy. Weve not had a policy in the past. This is the first time. Yes. Commissioner sanchez. I think this is an excellent summation what was in fact not policy has been in the city chapter that everyone extracts something and interpreted we were interprets it 24 the protocol from the process i guess the question i have once this is affirmed as our ongoing policy is there a time factor or are those as an example our various names are ready operational including our Breast Cancer center it was a major donation part ever library that has its specific name, etc. , etc. Etc. Is this does this apply to those or are we tenaciously a time variable we have to to be fair to the history i think it is Going Forward well be looking at this policy and so im very comfortable leading the status of everything in place and moving forward with the new policy. This also as i read applies to the laguna honda. It applies to the entire department of Public Health. So anything in the future for the naming would come through this office and our next process. Over the years i think people havent said i wanted to say one more i see something coming down the pike. As an example we have the affiliation agreement when the new Research Facility San Francisco general Health Department campus which is being approved by the rent of puc is built on the campus so any naming rights in that facility we need to think about this as we move forward is that under our jurisdiction or up to the court regents of the state of california whatever they decide i know we have specifically factored in pertaining to the Parking Facility that is the city and county of San Francisco so, i mean i want to make sure that we all understand as we move forward upcoming this is how we agree and precede otherwise we can get into problems and thats a fair question well take if that through the City Attorney. Whether it is a city property. Part of it is the agreement well work through that and well seek advice from the City Attorney is a very good question it is pertinent. Well try to get that answer back that is why we placed o that on the table such types of circumstances can be solved from the previous discussion also name or rename so i assume as the directors said everything is in place unless theres a reason to change the place of the name. Other questions at this point . If not ill discourage user encourage the commissioners to think about another circumstances they wish so have clarification and be prepared to vote at the next meeting no Public Comment phone number for this item. Item 8 is the resolution in support of naming the San Francisco General Hospital the richard h fine Peoples Clinic. Good afternoon, commissioners im rolling restraining order leaned the if he were in charge of the network im joined. By the professor of the food medication and chief of the division of trauma at Central Nervous system were here im going to im going to turn it over to ask for your consideration of rename the general medication clinic at g h s when i stepped up to the plate into the Central Nervous system San Francisco General Hospital persons i met was nike knew he was special i dont know how special he was until i worked with him over several years his post colleague dr. Will share with you clips that talk about dr. Fine and why we want our support address this resolution thank you. Thank you, rolland and commissioners and director that is an honor to be here to present on behalf of the dr. Fine this resolution to rename the general medication he Clinton Richard im a care doctor and i was the medical director of the general medication clinic many say the clinic it doctor fine founded and mr. Chinning chin was another Deputy Director dr. Fine joined the family in 1969 which was the first year in which San Francisco general had an oat patient presence if you were if you have diabetic come in a alu youd be disregard to the home or so in the longshoreman or the morgue dr. Fine was part of the movement to deputy E Development those in that he had risks medication and surgery in 1970 he fount the Medical Clinic for mel complex adults not city and county of San Francisco and since its inception weve tooefrn over one million patient visits dr. Fine is currently in his final months probably hes age 75 suffering is from a terminal illness and has made multiple phone calls to me i think that is fair to say a dick that is what we goes by he wears a mechanics shirt to work saying dick that represents every man he is he is just like every man and woman in San Francisco he played a visionary role to the underserved patients throughout the city and strengthened the general medication clinic by integrating the medical Services Council and help problems and continuity of care and championed many programs from that clinic hes the champion for marginalized groups that spearheaded a lot of programs to help those who are otherwise disfrachd he cofounder it in patient jail unit if you were a jailed individual and illness i had no place to go other than the jail or Elementary School those are focused on improving the health care for institutionalized people into through addressing their behavorial as well as physical health needs that are incredibly revolutionary during the time he called the jail a community and to get federally qualified Health Center and federal block money to take care of that very initiative in 1979 found the Health Clinic at San Francisco General Hospital and from 1989 to 91 served as the chief of the medical staff at San Francisco General Hospital we believe that renaming it San Francisco General Hospital after dr. Fine will not only honor his terrorism but terrorism of many of the Health Care Workers who we collaborated with on any issues he didnt look for the lifetime light. Let other people lead we believe that name it after dr. Fine about cause our students and residents and trainees to ask why is it called the fine board of directors Doctors Clinic why are those people so fine then we can educate them about dr. Fine and inspire future generations to do the same so a couple of months ago we aired the world premium of a film about dr. Fine and the city in which he lived and worked and was a film about the city and decades that he worked in the subjectivities movement and the crack and aids epidemic aisle all the major issues in San Francisco and how dick harnessed them the movie is called bicer with a moral impose i has a impose we have a clip i dont know how to do the audio you guys have to turn around oh, you can see it in your computer great. Was create at this hospital a plays for everyone. Director hicks role what 0 reminder the administration to remind we need to do those things for a special program and into change those so things will eliminate hes been a conscious. In the hospital lets just start over shaving shall we. Dikdz legacy is what we created at the hospital for a plays for everyone to come to. Director hicks role was a remind the administration and remind the other doctors we needed to do those things this is lets go forward. I speak and is a change so things emanate from him hes the conscious of San Francisco General Hospital the remarkable thing about dick fine was his ability to see the importance of and role that Outpatient Care for noncommunicable disease at an early stage. It is one clinic you hospitals liza patient wave good bye and see in the Elementary School or the morgue. You would take care of the patients in the hospital and go disregard discharged to wherever. The patient that needed followup didnt get the care. Director hicks dedication. What dick the. The law and the central traffic signal of a doctor for an individual as opposed to others for an example of care the result of dick was what made this clinic amazing. Health care being available to the mass dick cared about the narrative workplace the facilitates discretionary. Dick had a major role of creating the medication and ambulatory care, he helped to change how people viewed the americans. Dick committed his life to making sure there was something different. Change and incorporating the nurses the residents solutions into a team that was dick promoting that doctor, nurse may or may not or patient relationship. Many of the testaments of dick his original concepttion that patient go home and disconnecting shaped the hospital. It wasnt always place because of progressive medication it is what San Francisco general is really an extension of dick. You look at where 40 years dick fine ran those having shoulders above everybody else. The moral fine of San Francisco general clapping. thank you. Id like to close by saying that was my boys playing the music so and commissioners just a reminder the resolution will be voted on, on the august 4th meeting. And dr. Do you want to explain why it is not called just the richard a fine clinic but the Peoples Clinic. As i mentioned dick is not someone that likes the limelight he wouldnt want the clinic to be named the richard h fine clinic he sees the medical home as dr. Chin mentioned i think that actually, the fine Peoples Clinic is exactly what we understand about the people that come to our clinic many of the people that come to our clinic are seen as the most difficult challenging patients that nobody else wants to take care of so to suggest this is their Peoples Clinic has a certain power, of course that resonates with him and the practitioners at the clinic. Thank you very much any further questions for dr. Shilling gesture. Commissioners that was place on the agenda for a vote and well take it up at the next meeting. No Public Comment requested.
