undermining traditions of open government and public participation. the one depends upon the other. the grifters who are ripping off the public cannot pretend to be benefactors and aristocrats. without secrecy and contempt for the public. abuse of the public is what makes it work. the library commission has become the most egregious sunshine by later in san francisco because they got their positions by suppressing accountability and democracy. that is what corp. -- one donors get for their money. the sunshine task force found a violation to be so egregious that was a willful violation of the requirements of the sunshine ordinance. after being referred to the ethics commission, a report was issued, i like acting, and quietly required of all public

officials. violator was reelected president of the library commission because this is the mandate of privatization. the victim of treatment was not me, but it could have been anyone. has become typical of the contempt for democracy as we become grateful slaves rather than citizens. please send letters to the ethics commission or come to the meeting of monday, june 11. you know very well the forces of abuse that are unleashed by allowing private forces to raise private money with no accountability. the damage to our society is immeasurable, and the changes to our city are unsustainable. we all belong in san francisco. thank you. supervisor chiu: next speaker. >> it has been two years and 26 days since i learned the truth about 9/11 being an inside job.

since then, i have basically no respect for 90% of the conservative talk-show hosts that i used to listen to. nevertheless, i remember falwell said it was a judgment by god for the homosexuals. now, of course, he is in heaven. you probably think he is in hell, but he is in heaven. i believe he now understands that 9/11 was the sixth trumpet. jesus called it the abomination of desolation, and daniel did, too, that would happen in the so-called 1290 days peer the apostle john that wrote the book of revelation called it the sixth trumpet, and that would plate -- take place not in 1290 days, but in the so-called 12 63.5. in order for me to build my case, i would need an hour, and i do not have that, obviously, and you are not going to grant that to me. i mentioned -- i mean, you mentioned several times in this brief meeting how you want to support the lgbt, and i think

about the kings and what they did and how they deported the homosexuals in israel, and joseph but still fell far short of the requirement of what the mosaic code said to do. god said that the kings were to write their own copy of the bible so they would strictly follow the orders given by the almighty. king josiah did not support them. he tore their houses down. but the law of moses said they were strictly to follow and read every day of their lives so they would not be proud and so they would know would execute. on that list were not only adulterers, murderers, and scrapers, but homosexuals. it is not only those folks that go to hell. the best of men or the worst of men, according to jesus. it says do not kill, and if you kill, you are in danger judgment, but i say if you are angry with your brother without a cause, you are in danger of judgment, so everybody is a

murderer. everybody is a liar, thief, adulterer, murderer. supervisor chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon, supervisors. executive director of library users association. on june 16, the library commission held a meeting, at which it heard library claims that an elimination of printed notices to pages regarding over dos and reserves would save $100,000 per year. the very next day, library users association made an immediate disclosure request to see what the library might have in any way of information to support that statement. we have not yet received a single scrap of paper that

relates to that request, which is now well over a week old, and the library, which has been a repeat offender, with respect to sunshine rules and laws, is now appearing to do it again, so that they can protect their claims without having to substantiate them. these are claims that they not only made at the library commission but had made to the supervisors and to the budget analysts and anyone -- the mayor, for example -- who is getting the library's budget. we also on that day and on monday the 20th requested information about budget information given to the mayor for the current proposed budget, and have gotten nothing with respect to that. also, changes from the prior year, and nothing with respect to that. we believe that is because the library is claiming that it has certain priorities and certain ways of expectations about outcomes, which it is simply

unwilling to substantiate with any kind of information or documentation, and i can certainly tell you that they had a very nice story time, which was a fiction presentation at the budget and finance committee. thanks very much. supervisor chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon. here is a picture of a filipino performer, a good one. says he is a tough act to follow. that is what they say about me. that is a good picture, too. just wanted to say -- ♪ hey, board of supervisors, women and men play some good items for me i ain't sleepy, and there ain't no city i'm going to

i don't want the budget to go away and then bring it back today cast your budget bell our way, and promise the city budget will not go under and hey, board of supervisors, women and men make it happen today cast your spell our way and do not let the budget go on and they rarely will do -- mayor lee will do hiws turn and a city that does everything a time to be the assessor a time to be the administrative time to be the board president time to be mayor time to be board of supervisors time to be board of supervisor''

aide it is not too late to everything in the city would do everything time to be the share of time to be the share of guard -- sheriff guard ♪ supervisor chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon, board president and members of the board. i am a member of the human circle for the sole support group. we are survivors of homicide and advocates for those who are suffering from criminal activity. i am here to speak on behalf of a family right now. i am not at liberty to give their names because of the perpetrators not being caught

yet. the family recently just suffered a serious illness -- i mean, a serious incident where a man was shot. he did survive. family right now is in need of housing right now. the emergency housing. they are dealing with the victim services, and because of the budget cuts to victim services, the family has not been placed in emergency housing as we speak. i am here to say to the board, if you know of any resources or any city properties that perhaps could be developed or turned into safe housing for families who suffer, you know, from violent crimes, the they're looking for such a place. we are dealing with quite a few families who live in san francisco, who worked in san francisco, and when this happens to them, they have to go back to

the neighborhood where the actual crime took place, and that is what is happening with this family. they are in serious jeopardy for their lives because they have to return to the scene where the crime took place. so i am here advocating on behalf of those going through this, and ask the board to look into this. there is a lot of vacant school buildings, a lot of vacancies that the city owns that perhaps they could occupy for temporary housing for emergency housing for these reasons. the family right now is really hurting. thank you. supervisor chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> help is on the way. i am running for mayor of san francisco. supervisor chiu: excuse me, ma'am? >> i wish to address the issue of children's education. with that regard, i advocate the people by the greatest gifts i

give my children. as a book of parenting from the heart as well as nonviolent communication. these books and themselves consent things around. i want things to be saved. i want things to be fair. in a worlds of art -- the words of archbishop desmond tutu, a person who is open to others, affirming of others does not feel threatened that others are able and good for e and she is properly should that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater role and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished, when others are tortured or oppressed. in this city, victims are victimized on a regular basis. there is no place that people are taken who are like myself on a regular basis be up at the library. disabled people cannot use the bathroom. the people who have their jobs -- no, you cannot come in. i am not going to watch your car. you're just annihilated. then you are victimized at the

next stop. with the paramedics. no cameras. violence by the paramedics. violence in the hospital. it does not matter. it is not happening to you. but it is happening to you. we are part, and we stand together. we have to use our resources properly. the people of this city our resources. the money given to us, throwing it down the toilet. it is unacceptable. it is un-american. it is astounding that the fabrics of the community of falling apart. there are new grass roots that are developing. there was the school house. there are wonderful, brilliant things to be engaged with and to be supported and rewarded. supervisor chiu: thank you. are there any other members of the public that wish to speak in general public comment? seeing none, general public comment is closed. colleagues, there are no adoption without committee reference items.

we have four minutes before our 3:00 special orders. why don't i suggest that we recess for four minutes, and we >> welcome back to the board of supervisors meeting. we have two special orders from 3:00. i would ask that we take the first of these in case there any discussions that need to happen during the course of the other 3:00 special order. if i to them by up a representative, and if you could identify yourself for the record.

>> item 44 is the public hearing for the resolution of the assessment costs, for sidewalks and curbs repairs. >> if we could have the representative? >> i am with the department of public works. this report is for -- for properties with repairs made by the city and to the inspection and repair program through april 2011. during this time, the department inspected the sidewalks for diamond heights, in richmond,

and the non held districts. -- knob hill districts. there were 1219 prepared notifications for the city agencies, and the city prepared 849 properties at a cost of $521,340. $576 for notifications to the private utility companies for a total of $1,097,938. of these notices, there were 639 invoices for the property

owners, with 576 property owners paying, and the balance of the property owner with a sidewalk repairs based on the property-tax in a timely manner. in this report, we will be submitting 63 properties with outstanding invoices, to be placed as an assessment on the property tax. >> and are there any questions? thank you for your presentation. and are there any members of the public who wish to speak on these items? if you could please come up. every member of the public shall have three minutes to identify yourself, what the property is

that you represent. >> i am the owner of the vacant lot and i thank you for giving me the opportunity to be here once more. i am not here to disclaim the charges by the department of public works. i am sorry to say this. this is just my expression of frustration. i did this -- and i met with the inspector, right away when this was fixed. and i explained to her the situation that the property

location is a vacant lot, and i have plans to build a single- family residence unit. and i was just putting together the house according to the building code, and many other things like the land survey and the application their, and this process is the longest feature. and i would like for this to be accepted for review. the department of public works did not give me the chance with a compromise for some kind of arrangement. and there was no consideration at all. i strongly feel that the invoicing is a financial burden.

and when all the utilities on the ground, i will be required to rebuild the sidewalk. and to install a new sidewalk. all of this, with 13 square feet that will be drilled again. i was given a chance to voice this, and for you to give this to me. this is, this is one of the ways, contrary to what i have paid to the department of public works. this is the invoice from the

department of public works. this is charged -- may i finish? >> you have an opportunity to speak in a few moments. >> good afternoon, i represent the property at the nasa avenue. -- at vanessa avenue. everything else was with a previous owner at the previous address. we are sending out the correct invoice. we did not know about these problems. we did not have a chance to respond.

the first time we heard this was a notice for today's hearing. >> and are there any other members of the public? can you step up to the center aisle? and if there are other members of the public, please step up. >> i live on 17th avenue, and i had a first notice about the repairs. i had -- he said that we had informed about this.

they did not ask me any permission about this, and i called him, he said that they would open this for you, and i was not agreed to this. this is to war 12 inches. >> -- two or 12 inches. >> next on the assesment costs. >> it is important to realize how important that the sidewalks are for people. there is no easy access to fixing this. it is important that we have the accountability.

instead of having these complaints -- they complain about whatever department or city employment or employee, that they are doing their job correctly. it does not matter if you are not disabled. but if you are this could be the difference in living as a refugee in your country, or as you should be able to be. we should have life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. use the electronic systems. with an easy and accessible accounting of what needs to be done, who is supposed to do this and get the job done.

>> and are there any other members of the public who wish to speak about the assessment costs? let me ask you about this. and let me ask the members of the public -- even have a conversation and you can come back at the end. and you can come back to report back and we will proceed from there. us as anything you want to say right now. we will continue this item until later on in the hearing. and at this time, can you please call the item 42-43, related to

lombard street. >> this is a public hearing to consider item 43, the resolution authorizing the use of real property for purposes consistent with the joe dimaggio played crown master project. >> thank you colleagues and ladies and gentleman. we have a hearing of the resolution of necessity. this would clarify that the stated purpose of the site for the development and maintenance of the space is consistent with the uses contemplated in the joe dimaggio playground. we have the revenue it position of the park, and an expanded library within the same larger spark -- larger part. and this would ensure the adequate notice was required. as far as the hearing will go today, we have a representative from parks and recreation as

well as from our library will make short introductory remarks. the city attorney is also available if you have any questions before or after hearing this item. we would hear from the former property owners -- and they will have 10 minutes to address the board with this item. mr. flynn has requested the right to speak. let me ask if they are present. if you could step up. here is how the hearing will go again. we'll start with introductory remarks, and in the former owner will have 10 minutes to address the board. if both of you are present, you can use this time as you see fit. after the presentation the public will have two minutes to address the board on any

prospective that you have on this matter, and it will be submitted to the board for consideration. let's start with the representatives from parks and recreation. >> i am the supervisor for parks and recreation. in 2004 we approved acquiring the open space. at the time, the master planning process had not begun. we're not ultimately know how the site would be considered. as a result, the original resolution could not specify how the layout would fit into the final configurations. after a robust community planning process, the northeast

library plan was created. this began in april -- with the hearing. the plan results in significant expansion of public space, reconfiguring the elements -- elements of the park, and the boundaries of the joe dimaggio playground include the lombard site and the portion of the street that has been vacated. residents of the northeast will get 12,000 square feet of new open space. this is an area identified in the open space plan. the parks open space is increased by 20%, for an

expanded children's play area, which adds new features like games and technique tables, and provides additional landscaping and seating. there is not a lot of landscaping, currently. the new park layout strengthens activity functionally, with the tennis courts and the children's play area. and the entire park is unified with the circulation and accessibility. the project will improve and expand the library that has long coexisted with the park facilities. these projects were designed to gather to optimize the experience of park users and library users. this will be used to develop
