SFGTV Government Access Programming July 14, 2024

We are now transferring people from workers comp to the Health System people will sa. And so, you confuse the doctor, especially if youre out of area, you confuse the tonight. You confuse the pharmacy if you say, im getting my prescriptions filled for my workers comp. Workers cor comp pays for disability thats not permanent. You could be an active employee and be under workers comp or be eligible for a completely different position or body part than youve been awarded a workers comp. So how Health Services administer focuadminister folkss corcomp is something we dont gt involved with in making sure they get connected and theres no break in coverage for them on their medical side, but well, ive been pleaed with d people contacted me and said i have and issue and they have an advocate group for the retirees. Thats the same type of service i would hike to see here and i think it can be done with the o mbudsperson, somebody high up in the chain that can walk in and figure out. Make the sure it gets fix. But in the meantime, that person will be me. It shouldnt be you and you know, youre getting bantered around and i dont want you to get bantered around. Operations are under me. Didnt nobody here can be doing it all and you have two jobs, a mother job and you have a father job and you have, you know, sister job and all that stuff that goes along that is occurring in family lives and stuff hike that. Like that. Thats why i say its two jobs but its really just being able to make it good for some of the people that are ill. See if theres any improvement in the process and benchmark the number of cases today and well come back 12 months to see if theres any change in that number. Weve documented on the first page, midapril, 2019, but well have real numbers. Its approximately 400 but well have 421 or whatever the numbers are. Anything else on this item . Public comments . A discussion item only, ok. That concludes that item. Before we move on, under item 15, the cis report, was it meant this item regarding New Enterprise should have been on the calendar . They were added to the closures after the board materials were released. The director was notified by ashley duneen that its that time of year and time for the distribution of the performance evaluation service. Ashley indicated shell be emails services directly to each board member this friday, the 14th and that under the board policy, the retirement board needs to get their survey responses back to ashley by the end of this month. , so june 30th. I also have some good news related to onech our commissioners. Commissioner carmen shoe delivered a healthy baby a week ago tuesday. The latest report from her office is that mother and daughter, kaylee, are at home bonding and resting. Maybe you can get that to us in email to respond with a card or something. Sure, darlene can send an email out. Thats what her staff represented it to be. Theres a counter item for the next 12 Board Meetings but no item scheduled for committee meetings. Im giving us a heads up that items are planned for the committees. If the committee doesnt meet, items dont get done. The only answer is the obviously one, which is purpose of our education, personnel, deferred comp. There are actions the board is waiting. So these committees have to meet to get things done. The committees may change next month but in terms of planning out your schedule, plan on saving the third wednesday of every month for a committee meeting. Maybe youre not on that committee. The reason this is important, in terms of the Strategic Plan we expect staff to do things. Every item, theyre labeled deliverables, something were expecting staff to do. Part of the concept of deliverables, if a group is supposed to meet and decide, if the group doesnt meet, huge botched it up in gettin gettings done, much like hearings for disability. Things that should take a few months take one to six years to get done. But sometimes we are at fault because we dont do what were supposed to do. We have our Strategic Plan or theyre waiting for us to act, and i think that maybe as the guy who started the Committee System over claires objections may need to revisit the Committee System to discuss do we have the right committees and are we in the are we doing everything or should we be consolidating . I think thats a discussion youll have to think out in the next month as you make your Committee Appointments in amonging at thlooking at the co, because were looking at not only time but its efficiency and something that we have to get done and i think that thats committees some committees may outly their usefulness and some committees are needed to get to another point. No one sense, you dont need committees, but the general topic task is called governance. We evaluate managers nonstop and the selfevaluation by the board has been dropped, skipped, ignored, never discussed. When we do it with managers, we know why we hire them and fire them. We have to apply the same standard to ourselves if were going to sit here and insist on governing this system. To again, im bringing this up, right now there are no Committee Calendars to meet. Youre right, the only one on the calendar. I appreciate your comments because we need to have a commitment that the Committee System will do the work or otherwise, our meeting share will be twice as long and that was, i believe, part of the reason at one point, this board met twice a month for the longest period of time and that was because they had disability hearings as well as all of the work is being done not in committee. So i think it should go through the Governance Committee with that discussion on the system. A few years ago we had it offsite and supposedly went through this whole thing. The selfevaluation . Consolidated committees, rebranded, whatever. You know, theres been a lot of change and Going Forward with the new committee assignments, everybody will come together. Disability hearing stopped 43 years ago so were way passed that. Its effective november of 1976. You can find a meeting. I hear stories about people watching from the old board room next door, watching the applicant with the head brace on and that as soon as theyre through with the hearing, they see it toss the neck brace off and jog across street, which was less than 43 years ago but its not the point. Part of expecting our managers to do better, expecting slantexpectingconsultants to doo provide better service, we have to apply that to the board. Is that the only item left to discuss in. Public comment on the executive directors report. Excuse me. Move to go to the order, individual members have any comments they would like to make . I have a couple. I do. Its interesting because ive been to several meetings and things and people ask me about the contribution rates and i show it to them and theyre astounded and theyre mostly astounded by looking from 1997 to 2005. And it kind of says it all and i think this chart would be good on our website, on an evergreen and updated so its readily available to us. And its very eyeopening. The other thing is the, this was in bigger letters so i printed it up and its great for the members. And especially for the organizations. They look at it and they can its something that gives them information and its really good. So thats the type of things that im looking for when i say theres stuff thats on our website that the membership can look at, that others can look at that are interested in us. And it tells our story, our history. They need to know were not a mystery organization. Thats what im talking about. Thats my good of the order. Is this something the Communications Manager could do in terms of adding to our website . Certainly not within the purview of our assignment. Our current Communications Manager is focused on Member Benefits information, the summary plan descriptions, fact sheets. Ok. Just a thought. Thank you, commissioner driscoll. I thought about something when you mentioned earlier about one of our managers donated to the smithsonian and i wanted to point out we had another manager, one of our private equity managers, robert smith, and you may have seen it on the front of the new york times, he was the Commencement Speaker for Moorehouse College in atlanta, georgia. At the end of his commencement address, he and his family agreed to pay off the loan debt of every single graduate and that was done two weeks ago at the Moorehouse College. He donated to the smithsonian, 20 million for one wing of the museum. I wanted to talk about one of the managers who presented today as well as being a private equity manager and giving back but i thought the moorehouse chef piece acollege piece was o. So thank you for that, letting me point that out. Motion to ajourn is in order. So moved. Public comment. Meeting is adjourned. Good morning, i would like to call the meeting for thursday thursday, june 13th, 2019. [roll call] mr. Chairman, you do have a quorum. Can i call you next item . Yes, please. Item three is communications. Due to a conflict, well be looking to reschedule your july Board Meeting, so i will be reaching out to firm out a date. Okay. Anything else. I probably have to leave the meeting when a get called. We have a Budget Hearing so i will have the vice chair run the meeting. Thats right. Okay. Next item. Yes, please. Item four his board of directors knew and enrolled business. I am not aware of any. Executive director report. Good morning, directors. I am pleased to provide you with our plans to seamlessly open the center to the public. As you know, we discovered a fisher with two steel girders over fremont street last september. We committed to reopening the Transit Center only after finding the root cause of the fisher for sure. As you all know, all these steps are now complete and all the experts involved have compared have confirmed that we can open it for operations. I would like to think mayor breed for their leadership to help us reopen the Transit Center with a high level of confidence to the public. I would also like to thank m. T. C. For empowering independent and highly respected and nationally Renowned Team of experts that oversaw the robust and exhaustive review of the Transit Center. We will hear directly from the chair this morning about the findings and the conclusions of the review. You will also hear about our ongoing plan to reopen the Transit Center the two the public. Our goal is to reopen the Transit Center and exceed the publics expectations. We owe them gratitude for their patients. We know that this temporary closure was significant inconvenience, and we plan to open and have the Center Better than they remember back in september. We continue our work with the transit operators to ensure a smooth transition for transit riders. Bus operations will not begin july 1st, but we do Everything Possible to have have bus operations ready after that date we began a rehiring plan last month and we now are fully staffing up for operations and conducting final testings of the building operation system so we can be ready for july 1st. I want to thank you for your leadership and support over the last eight months as we conducted an exhaustive review and fully cooperated with the m. P. C. Independent review panel. At this time, i would like to ask christine if she could come and share with you our plans for communication for the reopening. Thank you, good morning, directors. I just wanted to briefly go over our plans to communicate with transit riders in the public as we reopen the center. We have already, with our goals, we want to reassure transit riders and the general public about the robust independent review that we underwent, we want to reaffirm the centers importance to the region, to the city and to the transportation for our entire region. We will be doing a lot of the same communications we did a few months ago, eight months ago when we opened the center, really highlighting the need for the Transit Center, but we need to first start and win back peoples trust. The first thing we will do is provide comprehensive multilingual outreach to the public and to transit riders. We began that this week with the announcement of the reopening. We have done some media tours and we will be doing that over the next few weeks with the goal of showing people the center is better than they remember and our goal of opening as seamlessly as possible and winning back their trust, showing what a great job that the staff is doing to welcome them back and have their experience seamless. We are our Campaign Began this weekend were launching a social media campaign. We have relaunched the website with a very simple to understand timeline of exactly what happened from september to today people could go to the website, learn what happened, learn what we did about it, learn about the independent review and why we are reopening now. All of our social Media Channels will be reinforcing that message and driving people to the website to learn about the temporary closure and the reopening, and also everything the Transit Center would like to reopen. Im working with the transit operators transit operators for early july. What tjpa will do is offer a temporary or limited Ambassador Program, so you will see the ambassadors who were usually at the Transit Center, the week before, educating transit riders , and bus service has not yet begun. We will have ambassadors out in the morning and the evening, inviting people back to the park , the amenities, the food trucks, the grand hall, and letting them know to check in with their Bus Operators for when that service will start. Ive also provided the Bus Operators, marketing and Communications Communications team with a toolkit that includes confirmed facts, saq, fact sheets and timeline, to communicate how they want to communicate but they have all the facts, dates, and figures they will need to be able to do that, and make sure no matter what Transit Agency is speaking, we are all speaking from the same facts. About two weeks before the reopening, you will see it see ramped up social media messaging. You will see more of that. You will also see the mill marketing going out explaining the closure, thinking people for their patients, apologizing for the temporary closure. Physically at the temporary terminal and at the Transit Center, on july 1st, you will see physical signage as well. What people are walking by and see the doors open, they can see theres no bus service yet. When there is, we will alert them to that. I have heard from the several transit agencies that they ramp up for transit operations that they will have their own Ambassador Program talking to their writers in easing the transition for them. With that, i am happy to take questions. In regards to the leasing front,. [indiscernible] this will be used as a clinic for the residents and the workers in the area. By approving this lease, the lease count would be 60 based on the Square Footage parked. We assume that this effort will be picked up now that we are reopening it. We have addressed all of the comments and we have been provided with additional documentation. We do have a meeting with them on the 17th. We hope it will be the final meeting before the approval of the process. I am very hopeful that by the july Board Meeting that will be concluded. In regards to the status of the peer review by the San Francisco transportation authority, the Consultants Team continue to hold workshops as planned, both both based on the current schedule, the peer review is expected to be repeated later this month on june 25th. We will present the results of the peer review to the board at the july Board Meeting. At the last Board Meeting, the board requested that the peer review members meet with the peer review members from that presented their findings last month to you, and working with director chan on arranging them. Finally, we have a front for your Quarterly Financial report. If you dont have any questions, this or concludes my report. Any questions from Board Members . No questions. All right. I will call your next item. Item six is the ten break closure of the salesforce Transit Center. Good morning, directors.

Also facility wide readiness for reopening, which will basically i will talk to the staff report that was submitted under this particular agenda item that work to complete in the wrong contract closeout and legislative.
