In a memo submitted to the board, analysts suggest a thorough-going audit -- anticipated to take up to 1,500 hours -- of Healthy San Francisco,
the city's landmark health-care access program passed into law in 2006.
Auditors hope to evaluate the program's cost, participation levels, and
patient outcomes, as well as how it will fit into new federal
health-care legislation.
Also suggested in the memo are audits of the city's practices for offering "premium pay" bonuses -- supposedly granted for special skills or types of work -- to its employees. The future of San Francisco's underused public golf courses, a subject that has seen much hand-wringing in recent years, could also be studied.
The supervisors' Government Audit and Oversight Committee will hold a hearing on the recommended audits this at 10:30 a.m. Thursday.
