trasvina. >> thank you president lopez. i want to thank everyone who participated in this matter tonight and once again, glaringly absent is rec and park department. which has a tremendous impact on the matter which makes things difficult. going to the appellates or requesters arguments, i want to focus on three of them. the first one is new material, fact 1, permanent bench for 6 on the median. i just dont find that a material fact. i don't consider that a significant. the bench can be picked up by half a dozen kids from si and moved someplace else if needed. it is there. the e-mails describing the city's reluctance to have it there and all the safety concerns are interesting, not sure how they relate to this proceedings. on the issue of this is a extraordinary case, because of statements from our deputy city attorney, i want to distance myself from those entirely. i just do not find any credence in that perspective. this deputy city attorney worked hard and is expert on assisting the board. i have tremendous respect for h

commissioner trasvina. thank you. i appreciate your presentation. i just had a very quick question on on your last slide. you referenced the zipper case. yeah. and it's 20 years old. it's unpublished. is that is that the last best. uh guidance from the courts? yeah. well, that's the last known and is the closest being santa clara is the, uh, not very far from from our city and county. uh, so therefore, i, i believe that's the most relevant court case. okay. well i doesn't impress me. is that that's close to us, but it seems like in the last 20 years, the this has this technology has evolved. i'm just i'm just surprised that that no other courts have really looked at that. yeah, but but but the engineering, uh, fundamentals of, uh, solar panel relying on sunlight to generate energy that remains unchanged, i believe. and, uh. thank you. yeah okay. thank you so much. i don't see any further questions. thank you. uh we thank you. we will now see if there's any public comment for this item. anybody in the room? so mr. zon, you can be seated. thank you. u

i'm john trasvina proud graduate of our public schools here in san francisco. i urge you to take the step of not negotiating with mr. rafferty. we do not have a violation of the cvra. we have years of history of electing asian americans, latinos and african americans to the school board. no decision should be made or no alternative should be agreed to without a demonstrated record that it is better for the communities that are protected under the under the cvra. uh, nothing has been shown that there's a liability or that any possible alternative is better. we all need to focus on school safety, on the budget, paying teachers, and all the things that you all work on. focus on that, please. and leave it to your lawyers to fight, mr. rafferty. uh, because this is a misuse of the of the voting rights act, and it will not improve access for asian americans, latinos and african americans. thank you very much for your stance. last meeting and for your continued work on all these issues. thank you. that does conclude our virtual public comment for this item. okay so i
