Laguna Honda Hospital DOJ Visit
We have received no official response from the Department of Justice concerning their November 28, 2000 site visit. Based upon limited informal feedback from the DOJ consultants, we believe that the representatives were impressed with LHH’s positive developments during the last two years.
Last month we asked the DOJ in writing to close its investigation of LHH. Due to administrative changes in Washington, D.C., we do not know when we will receive a response. We will keep the Commission informed of any developments.
City Appointment to Board
Angela Carmen, Assistant Administrator, Facilities/Materials Management, has been appointed to represent the City and County of San Francisco on the Board of Directors of the NCSDC (Northern California Supplier Development Council). She will replace Edwin Lee, former Director of Purchasing, who is the newly appointed Director of Public Works.
The goal of the NCSDC is to promote increased procurement and business opportunities for minority businesses; and to develop mutually beneficial business relationships among the businesses, public and private sectors. The local NCSDC is one of 37 Councils nationwide. We congratulate Angela on her appointment to this Board.

6) PRESENTATION OF THE 6-MONTH REPORT ON THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH BUDGET FOR FY 2000-01
Monique Zmuda, CFO, presented the second quarterly final projection of revenues and expenditures for the Department of Public Health for fiscal year 2000-01. These projections are based on revenue collected and billed, and expenses incurred for the first six months of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2000. Based on this date, the Department of Public Health is projecting a yearend surplus of $2.2 million for FY 2000-01. This is approximately a $2.9 million improvement from the $700,000 deficit that was reported to the Health Commission after the first quarter of operations. However, based on expected increases to power/energy costs in the current year, the Department anticipates that this entire surplus will be utilized to fund increased energy.
Ms. Zmuda will come back to the Commission with a 9-month report for FY 2000-01.
