mitigate them. i believe they are moving seven and a thousand people a day and this is at capacity for people who are disabled. they would need to drive to stores and would like to be shopping on market. history is important but we also need to keep making it. we cannot get stuck in the past. last but not least, our unions lost a lot of members. we need the union's desperately. the city needs a tax revenue desperately. certainly the other building, they need the work desperately as well. please move this project forward. thank you. >> i was an urban design

planner. this is the best chance to revitalize and improve the street. we are fortunate the architects designed this handsome building. this means all of the design guidelines and i urge you to reject the appeal and support the adequacy. thank you. >> good evening, supervisors. thank you for your time, thank you for your service. i would like to express support for city place.

we are excited not only about the jobs and businesses and pedestrian traffic but also all of the spillover that the additional foot traffic would bring to the businesses in the area. we are trying to support new businesses. thank you. >> good evening, supervisors. i am here to support the project. please support it. >> good evening, supervisors.

i've yet to hear anyone say they are against the project. >> and madame clerk, fellow supervisors. let's move forward. it is time. we have been waiting a long time for this one. i urge you to approve this. thank you very much. >> thank you. can we ask the appellant to comeback? >> i was tempted to join the line here to speak in favor of the project because it lot of the sentiments that were breast

i wholeheartedly concur. we are not here to talk about the project, we are here as to whether there is a certifiable environmental impact. i was struck by the statements about what impact was identified and she identified the traffic impact. i think this typifies what is the matter with this. the planning department went in with lenders. we avoided seeing some of the most significant impacts of this. that is why the environmental impact is not even talk about them. for example, on the question of the impact visually and historically, --

with respect to the traffic impact. there's a lot of discussion about parking. putting a 200 space parking garage in a shopping center his is going to generate traffic around this project. the question is is there an adequate analysis of the wrist injury to pedestrians and bicyclists. the answer is no. this is a study that is used to

determine whether motorists will have to wait and stop signals, not if motorists will run into or injured pedestrians. turning to the letter that supervisor daily mentioned, this is a constructive step forward. this is a blueprint for a process. this is not in mitigation. this letter proposes funding a feasibility study for pedestrians. we need this right now. >> thank you.

>> any final questions to any parties? this hearing has been held and it is closed. items 26-28 are in the hands of the board. >> first, let me respond. let me thank him for this. this has been incredibly constructive. this isn't in mitigation. i think that this is a document that speaks to the traffic impact. there is a plan to move forward with improvements. i am pleased that city place will be participating.

i want to make one comment. it generally i don't comment on ascetics but i agree that the building is ugly with all due respect. there is some good news. let me move forward with mr. rhodes comment. "thank you for moving this project forward as per our discussion." we would like to have a parking fee. this is known as the surcharges. this parking surcharge it shall be paid to the mta is until such a time as the aggregate amount is greater than a, specifically

identified in a feasibility study to be conducted by the sfmta. -- agrees to implement this agreement. the mta shall reserve the right to audit the quarterly payments from the surcharge and the basis for them. the city does not attend a surcharge for any current or future parking tax by the city. . market street holding shout continue to work with the planning department to refine the design which for the purpose of this agreement shall be continued work between the architect, planning department,

and community stakeholders. we understand that the city agrees that in the event of any future settlement of legal action of the payment of any money, they will be credited against the amount otherwise agreed to. finally, we agreed to work on any legislation or any formal document needed, this is on behalf of market street holdings." i read this letter and not because of the issue of the mitigation, obviously there are improvements. i know that this administration is interested in improving by

safety. i am pleased that market place is participating. also city places moving forward with a mechanism that actually is somewhat -- to the city and county of san francisco because this was referenced in 2006. the board deliberated and ultimately adopted. with that said, i think that is a better for worse environmental document. this is accurate to the best available methodology. this is complete. i move that we move item 26 or

prove item 26 confirming the certification of the final environmental impact report and that we table item 27 which would be the item to the reverse. we look for item 28 making findings. i think that perhaps this discussion would have been more interesting if we had the actual project in front of us. that would be my motion. >> this has been seconded. any further discussion? can we take a rollcall vote. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye.

>> aye. >> aye. >> aye. there are nine ayes. >> ladies and gentlemen, the eir is finally certified. >> i understand the supervisor dufty would like to recall item 23. if you could please take your conversations outside. thank you. >> on item 23, on going to ask if we could rescind the vote and i would like to make a motion for a one-month continuance.

i would like to make a motion to rescind the vote on this item. >> a motion to rescind which has been seconded. can we do this without objection? the motion passes. >> can i make a motion for a one month continuance of this item to our meeting of october 19th. >> they move and a second. without objection, this will be continued. thank you. we can now go back to general public comment. >> the next item on the agenda is the upper 24 the public to address the board on items

within the subject of the board and excluding items which have been voted upon. if you would like a document to display, please request this. >> first speaker please. >> [speaking foreign language] [speaking foreign language]

[speaking foreign language] [speaking foreign language]

[speaking foreign language] good afternoon. i am here and i am very proud to be one of the muslim people who live in this city. islam is peace, islam is love. i am here and i give you love

and you'd give me love. some of you are coming to visit me. some people under your command, they always try to -- me. ladies and gentlemen, i'm will let you know that we have a mosque, our moscow -- our mosque has been taken away from us. this has been called a landmark. you take it from us. our former supervisor has worked with me about that building. i'm going to open that issue again.

we are muslim, we have respect for you. we expect you to give us respect and return this to me. i know that politicians, this is the time to show me that you love each one of us. thank you. >> thank-you, supervisors. public comment should be a full agenda item, don't except the corporate life. there is increased awareness that public money needs to be used for the public benefit and all public resources belong to the public as a whole.

it was a supreme court justices said "sunlight is the best disinfectant." the problem as true today as it was then, how is it possible to predict democracy when money can buy influence and freedom from accountability. the private part of the public- private partnership that has made so many disastrous decisions has no agreement with the city, has been exposed to scrutiny by the board of supervisors. there were allowed to sell the opportunities and no consideration on whether the benefit to public is equal to the cost of public resources. can you imagine the 49 years, the giants, or even san

francisco city college licensing naming rights on the basis that some unknown some might be donated even if this is a fraction of their own executive salaries. the public library does this because they're the most democratic of institutions and in no one on this board cares about how democracy. this is not just to be a conduit for political payoffs. the private philanthropy purchases their influence with pennies. they are taking our most important institutions and destroying them. the public does not even get the money. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> on labor day, the skyscraper man, he climbed one of our

buildings. he climbs building is all over the world. [singing] spider-man, spider-man, climbs a skyscraper the best the can. all the way, there he is. there goes the spider-man in the broadest daylight, he arrives at the highest kind, spider-man, spider-man. he climbs the skyscraper the best he can. through the top, their egos -- there he goes. you will find him climbing a city spider-man

everybody would like the city and they want it real good, you know. i wish you lots of luck and don't you worry about the same thing i will be at your city side all of the time i hope you find better. make it a better city. don't you worry about a city thing don't you worry about a thing i will be at your side all of the time >> thank-you, singing man. next speaker, please. >> i would like to show a

picture. a month ago, the systematic human rights violator and illegitimate president of iran organized a trip for people to come to the country which ignores the truth. while the conference was taking place, thousands of political prisoners were in iran. many were on the verge starvation. many were also on the verge of execution. this was organized by its

ruthless murderer mahmoud ahmadinejad and this is against the city and county of san francisco bonds. the city government must hold as members accountable and must do actions that strengthen the cost of human-rights which are badly needed. the city government mackay's the urgency of the u.n. secretary- general and the city of san francisco must advocate the cause of human rights, not have as public servants go to propaganda conferences. there are more pictures of the event.

>> next speaker. >> i am jesus. it is hard for me to kick against -- >>nepal heard those words, he ws shocked. he was thinking that he was doing god's will. it said that if someone was to turn away from god and to cause others to force a god, then whether it was -- if your mother, your son, your friend, if they entice the secretly to

let this go and serve other gods, then you are to have them killed. paul thought he was doing god's will but when he heard those words he was saved. it is interesting, it says that he preached to christ in the synagogue that he is the son of god but all that hurt him more amazed the became for the intent that he might bring them down. he persuaded them concerning jesus and the law of moses. the old testament was categorized basically in two

sections, the law of moses and the process -- profits. these were written down hundreds of years for the happened. there is no doubt about that. even the last profit was four centuries before jesus. >> thank you. are there any other people that wish to speak? seeing none, please call items 41-53. >> would anyone like to sever any item? >> 46, 47. >> can we take a roll call on the adoption without consideration? >> aye.

>> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> the resolutions are adopted. >> item 46, resolution opposing proposition 26, an amendment which requires that certain local fees be approved by 2/3 vote. >> thank you, mr. president. in a similar vein when this body decided to step up and render an opinion on proposition 16, so followed many other city governments throughout
