time. this has been an important institution in our city, and certainly in the haight-ashbury neighborhood. i do want support -- to support the ability of this organization to move forward and continue to provide leadership. i hope we are able to change the language and length that refers to the mayor directing the termination of the lease. obviously, we are still right now before the city, alternative recycling services, a to negotiate in good faith the determination of henk's lease.

i wish the unlawful detainer had not moved forward. i do hope that despite what is happening that they will be able to work on a path that will allow henk to continue. >> emotion has been made. is there a second? it has been seconded. >> i would strongly urge my opponent to -- my colleagues to oppose the amendment. rec and park have acted in good faith. i do not want to set a standard

that having a number of hearings is not good faith. making this amendment sets that president. i think that would be a serious mistake. if you have a problem with what they have done, but for the resolution. but do not set a legal precedent that having a number of public hearings is not acting in good faith. that is a serious mistake. this has a lot of serious repercussions beyond henk. but this amendment is much bigger and potentially sets a precedent i do not think the maker has thought through. i would urge a no vote. -- supervisor elsbernd:. supervisor mirkarimi: i appreciate the warning side, -- sign, but that is the corpus of why we had a hearing at the board of supervisors, because of what was omitted and absent in commission hearings about henk,

and the question of how that justifies displacement based on the city master plan, the lack of recycling and what to do with a particular turf of the park. not a lot of this detail came out in new -- in the rec and park hearing. we were well informed by dissecting very clearly what was discussed and not discussed. clearly, it was already a presupposed determination to move on hanc. that is what the band was. the fact is that there were plenty of details that came out in this particular board of supervisors. rec and park is one of only two

commissions citywide that are not appealable to the board of supervisors. frankly, sometimes, when the are not in agreement with us, i am sure soon that is going to come back as well. as it relates to this particular notion, that is why the hearing was so substantive is because of the fact that if anyone believes you are going to lose a recycling center with that capacity and think you are going to replace it with a vending machines in the surrounding area, you have 10 times more reason to have a sit-lie law that is not going to be implemented. supervisor campos: i simply want to say that i think it is very

unfortunate that we did have this unlawful detainer action being filed. i think it is very unfortunate we got to this point. i am very hopeful that the city reconsiders the action. i know they -- i know there are very passionate perspectives on this. i would respectfully ask the mayor's office to step back and rethink the way this issue is being approached. the fact is that some of the decisions that have been made predate this administration. i think the fresh perspective of the mayor's office has taken on a number of issues is one that is badly needed on this one. i would hope there is reconsideration of where we are on this issue. with respect to the rec and park

commission, i understand the reasons people are moving in this direction, but i respectfully believe this action is misguided, and i do disagree with the outcome so far. i would hope that the department reconsidered. thank you. supervisor elsbernd: supervisor campos, i am not saying you cannot disagree with what they did or have a different opinion about the outcome. i think this amendment potentially has more ramifications beyond this issue, the notion that the process they have done is a process that can never follow again. go ahead and vote yes on the resolution, but the amendment is potentially much more complicated than just hanc. i am very cautious of this amendment. president chiu: any further

discussion? if we could first take a roll- call vote on the amendment. supervisor weiner: no. supervisor avalos: aye. supervisor campos: aye. president chiu: aye. supervisor chu: no. supervisor cohen: no. supervisor elsbernd: no. supervisor farrell: no. supervisor kim: aye. supervisor mirkarimi: aye. supervisor mar: aye. president chiu: the amendment is passed. unless there is any further discussion, a vote on the resolution as amended. supervisor weiner: no. supervisor avalos: aye. supervisor campos: aye. president chiu: aye. supervisor chu: no. supervisor cohen: no. supervisor elsbernd: no. supervisor farrell: no. supervisor kim: aye.

supervisor mar: aye. supervisor mirkarimi: aye. >> there are six ayes and five nos. president chiu: the resolution is adopted. >> items 27 through 37 are for immediate adoption without committee reference. there will be decided by a single roll call vote. president chiu: would anyone like to sever one of these items? supervisor kim: i would like to continue item 35. supervisor elsbernd: 34 and 35. supervisor mirkarimi: 35. president chiu: if we could take

a roll-call vote on all items 27 through 37 except for 34 and 35? supervisor weiner: aye. supervisor avalos: aye. supervisor campos: aye. president chiu: aye. supervisor chu: aye. supervisor cohen: aye. supervisor elsbernd: aye. supervisor farrell: aye. supervisor kim: aye. supervisor mar: aye. supervisor mirkarimi: aye. >> there are 11 ayes. president chiu: those resolutions are adopted. item 31. >> item 31 is a resolution authorizing the department of public health to accept and expend a grant from the public health condition enterprises in the amount of $27,000 to participate in a program entitled "implementing new directions in hiv prevention."

president chiu: do i understand you want to continue this item for a week? supervisor kim is making that motion, seconded by supervisor supervisor campos:a -- by supervisor campos. you did not sever 31? on item 31, can we adopt this without objection? this privilege -- this resolution is adopted. >> item 34 addresses community concerns racial, religious, -- concerns surveillance, racial, and religious profiling. supervisor mirkarimi: normally we would want to send something like this to committee.

i think it speaks for itself, based on what had been a very robust hearing held by the hr commission. i want to reduce something from the "new york times." representative peter king from rhode island appears to harbour fears and happiness of the muslim community of the united states. of the homeland security committee, on thursday, he plans to open the first of a series of hearings into the threat of home-grown islamic terrorism and the allegation that muslim americans have failed to cooperate with law enforcement efforts to foil terrorist plots. i felt there should be at least some response to what i think is a very severe action by this particular congressman. this resolution speaks to that.

i appreciate supervisor avalos for his co-sponsorship. were it not for the timing of this, i would encourage this to go before committee. i would prefer a vote on it. president chiu: it is going to committee. supervisor kim: my request is to continue item 35 to next week. president chiu: that has been seconded by supervisor campos. >> i would like to read the item. resolution opposing the proposed elimination of medi-cal funding for adult day health center programs in the state of california. supervisor elsbernd: based on the actions of last week, where four of us boded against

resolutions like this that are not budget balanced, i would like to send this to committee. president chiu: to committee. if we can go to our imperative agenda, i believe supervisor mar has a resolution. >> it declares march 12 as an arbor day in the city and county of san francisco. president chiu: supervisor mar has made a motion, seconded by supervisor campos. supervisor mar: i just wanted to thank the great staff from dpw who are coordinating with many community groups for arbor day. please join us. thank you. president chiu: let me see if there are members of the public who wish to comment on this

item. seeing none, if it to carol call on the imperative resolution. -- if we can take roll-call on the imperative revolution -- resolution. supervisor weiner: aye. president chiu: aye. supervisor chu: aye. supervisor cohen: aye. supervisor elsbernd: aye. supervisor farrell: aye. supervisor kim: aye. supervisor mar: aye. supervisor mirkarimi: aye. >> there are 11 ayes. president chiu: could you read any in memoriams? >> this meeting will be adjourned in memory of the following individuals. on behalf of supervisor weiner, for the late clint mitchel. for the late hyacinth smith, the late tomas vallejo.

that concludes our business. president chiu: ladies and gentlemen, we are adjourned.
