enthusiasm to the warriors franchise. this dates back to 1946, when it was first established as the philadelphia warriors. they won the championship in the inaugural season of the basketball championship of america, what would become the national basketball association. in 1962, the team was relocated to san francisco and became known as the san francisco warriors until 1971, when the name was changed to the current golden state warriors. the team has played all of their home games in the oracle a korea from 1966 with the exception of a one-year hiatus -- oracle arena. they have won two others, tying for sixth in the nba and the number of championships. in 2004, they started their

supervisor daly? supervisor dufty? supervisor dufty: i have an in memorian, someone who collapsed and passed away at while jogging. he grew up in los angeles and completed his undergraduate work at the university arkansas in the medical education at the university of arkansas medical school. he came back to california it, and he found his spiritual and professional home. he joined the emergency room staff part-time in 1987, and soon, he joined full time in the emergency room and then begin the medical director of the emergency room until his passing. he was known as someone that was

paper usage. i know a great efforts have been made by our founding was madam clerk and others in city hall, but yet, there is a reliance on a preponderant of paper, where i think there should be an opt in or opt out policy about information and getting those forms as opposed to having all of these documents with duplication to all of love and of us. so i'm going to ask the city attorney to help us draft -- duplication to all of us. this is to shrink the amount of paper that comes to us. he knows? mets unpleased find a way to economize and be smart for the environment, and then also, we

should fix the a little rule that came up earlier that a los -- that allows the board of supervisors to be managed in a way that does not necessarily reflect the intent of what the law, i think, ports, and the rest i will submit. thank you. madam clerk: f.a.q, supervisor mirkarimi. president chiu -- thank you, supervisor mirkarimi. president chiu? president chiu: there are dozens of bodies for which we as the board of supervisors make appointments, and only a small number of others make

appointments to. at this time, there are an unknown number of vacancies on these bodies because there is no place where all vacancies are compiled for the public. for example comte at the clerk's office, we posed -- for example, at the clerk's office, we post items online. there are vacancies at the planning commission, and mta, the port commission, the police commission, and many important commissions and bodies in our city. it could be very difficult to determine which seats are available. years ago, they called for increased diversity. there was a study every few

years. i was recently approached with an idea that i think will make voters who want to make this more a reality, and the legislation would call on the city administrator to establishing centralized online database of information regarding our appointments, and it would require providing on a quarterly basis information to the city administrator, who will then update the information on the website. from my perspective, this legislation is not intended to interfere. it is intended to create a simple tracking tool to make it easier for interested individuals to find opportunities to participate. this is about transparency. it is about openness, and it is about good government, and the rest of my items i will submit. madam clerk: thank you,

supervisor chiu. supervisor avalos? supervisor avalos: it is jerry garcia date coming up at the park. if you're driving, it is a fabulous event. great music. there is someone who actually played with jerry garcia back in the day. great music. a fun time will be had by all. i want to thank tom murphy who has put this event on for the past eight years. this was considered to be -- this year will be no less. the public can come out and

enjoy the day. madam clerk: thank you, supervisor avalos. supervisor chu, you want to be re-heard? supervisor chuy: i went to amend my in memoriam. president chiu: so move. next item. madam clerk: if a member would like a document to be displayed on the overhead, please do so, and please remove it.

ladies and gentlemen, let me talk to you about the english language. to see how much money we can bring to this city. this is going to be another city. [bell] thank you.

president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> do not accept money from foundations. private money is given by those that are peddling influence and vanity to those who cannot get it any other way. it always depends on lies in secrecy. it is important to realize how minuscule that private money is. i could tell you that the public budget is over $83 million. the contribution of the so- called public-private contribution is less than 1%. an enormous effort has been made to make sure it is publicly supported so that it will reflect the first amendment,

freedom of information, and democracy. this is betrayed for a fraction of a penny, let alone accountability. not using the slightest bit of honesty. the public is entitled only to be good slaves and expressed gratitude. the point of my presentation is what happens to institution when maintaining class barriers .becomes more important than the truth itself? what they have done to the library can be done to what you care about. it makes sense to do this to the library first because the library involves the public right to know. without that right, democracy has no power, and if the people do not have the power, and we are all just slaves to those who

control what we know, that is why i always say the allies cost more than the money. president -- belies -- th lies cost more than the money. [bell] president chiu: winning is everything, and ♪ when your bridge is weary when feeling small when it is in your eyes it burns, and it is dry i wish you luck that you will fix the talks and the bridge

over syria. when the problem elijah came to him and started crying, and he was asked, "why are you weeping ?" he said he was weeping because he knew what they would do to the city israel. you will kill people and take the children. and i thought, why did they not kill this man? because god had told them to anoint him to be king. god is all powerful. there was dick cheney this morning on youtube. we learned about david rockefeller's business, where he said he was basically pro of being charged with destroying the united states of america.

god is sovereign, and he is using these people to destroy the united states because we have forsaken god. we have. we have forsaken god. this city is a sanctuary city. i ran for city council. [bell] president chiu: amen. any other public speakers? seeing none, public comment is closed. madam clerk, can you read the next items? madam clerk: these items will be acted upon by a single roll call vote, unless someone has discussion, at which time it will be acted on separately.

anything to say. >> thank you. i was drawn to this meeting because this was on the agenda. the board of supervisors, total support of this resolution that seeks to advance governor schwarzenegger, the proposition that would include a pardon for eddy zheng. i am spent nearly 40 years in the profession of probation. civic redemption. in my 5 plus years here in san francisco, come across and had the pleasure -- i have come across and had the pleasure to work with eddy zheng on behalf of you, so my support on this

resolution comes based on my belief of the value of second chance and the example but eddy zheng sets for youth in san francisco, by him korean a pathway for his own redemption, and he service for the young in san francisco, and it would be a loss -- by him setting a pathway for his own redemption. so i am just lend my support for this resolution and hope that it is advance. thank you. president chiu: thank you, and 84 being here. supervisor -- and thank you for being here. supervisor alioto-pier?

supervisor alioto-pier: this would be a full pardon, nonetheless, and i wanted to do due diligence, and i would be happy to support this. president chiu: supervisor mirkarimi? supervisor mirkarimi: i have participated and watched eddy, as well as many others, part of the city family in non-profit family, etc. his contribution is invaluable, and i am really pleased to see the way we are rallying around. i think it is an important message for governor schwarzenegger in the state to understand just how important this case is.
