are there any other commission matters? commissioner moore: i just wanted to bring to the commission's attention magazines of the september issue of "scientific american." title better cities. i strongly recommend that you acquire this magazine and read it. it is not as much about policy, but generally reflections on the city. commissioner antonini: find you. i would like to ask that we adjourn tonight meeting or today's memory -- today's meeting in memory of a couple of individuals who died in our absence. first is john casper. -- don casper.

he was a longtime civil service commissioner, an attorney, a leader in the community columbus day celebrations and active in san francisco politics and tragically was hit by a hit-and- run driver of the russian river on his nightly run that he would take four years and years -- and unfortunately, the individual involved has not been apprehended. there is a reward fund. the second individual was a 22- year old gentleman who was working to we want jobs in an unusual way to support his wife and two children. he would work at night in a restaurant and state of during the night because he would work as a baker in the morning. he was taking a break between his two jobs, and he was shot and killed because he was mistaken to be a member of a gang, which he was not, as far

as we know. fortunately, there has been a reward fund set output wells fargo bank. i think the restaurant will also have an event in his honor. but i think this is totally unacceptable, this kind of behavior in our city or anywhere. hopefully, there will be a reward fund set up in this instance as well because this is a way to stop this, if somebody comes forward and arrests are made. anyway, those are the two individuals i would like to adjourn the meeting in ottawa. commissioner olague: -- >> at the indoor during the break, if you could be sure to give me the spelling of that name -- at the end or during the break, if you could be sure to give me the spelling of that name. commissioner olague: i wanted to include ini -- in that eric casada passed away during the break. he was a very valuable community

of the -- very valuable member of the mission community. he has been sick for a number of years, but he leaves behind a wife. >> thank you. commissioner miguel: over the break, i ended up talking to more people than i thought i would on a break. i had a meeting with the port regarding their involvement in eight washington and see wall lot 41. i had an interesting conversation with dan on the veterans affairs medical center

out at 42nd and comment -- and clement. there was an excellent meeting that i helped share -- chair regarding the market street redesign that is coming up. i met with some people regarding the recreation and open space element of the general plan, particularly in regards to golden gate park. i have met with a number of people on cpmc as well as the budget analyst on their work with the department. i was updated as to the safeway redesign proposed out at ocean beach as well as a couple of meetings regarding an item that is on our calendar today.

commissioner olague: i just wanted to finish my comments. he leaves behind a wife, daughter, and quite a legacy in the mission. he led a lot of mission advocates an activist and really fought hard for everyone across the border or boundary of residence. latino families, lgbtq communities, and he was a valuable member of the district and community, so it is quite a loss. an irreplaceable loss, really. commissioner sugaya. commissioner sugaya: i would like to echo commissioner olague's sentiments. i was not a personal friend of his, but the only time i think i really saw him here was that commission meetings, and he was always a very forceful advocate

for housing and community affairs in the mission district. i think he was also a fair person. i think it is quite appropriate that we adjourn in his memory. other things -- there was an article in the paper about hunters point shipyard and the navy's cleaning process, which i think they are saying at least in the paper would take until at least 2007, but there was another article in the paper that said that hud or one of the federal agencies had granted some additional money for some money for the project for the corporation to start to move ahead. i assume that the navy clean up the effects only certain parts of the neighborhood. maybe we could have a little short support on where the navy's activities are preventing development from moving ahead. lastly, there was also another

article in a different -- you might characterize it progressive -- paper about the twitter deal, so-called, and the fact that in the development of the agreements, there were -- community benefits were not discussed the front or something to that matter, and it was still on the table with respect to a committee or somebody that is supposed to determine what the community benefits would be for various corporations and others coming in to the neighborhood. since -- who is it? zen somebody or other just moved into mid-market. i wonder what the process is here to talk about community benefits. >> i believe that is something that jane kim's office is working on. >> i will let you know. commissioner sugaya: thank you.

commissioner moore: i would ask the director to give us an update about redevelopment and bayview/hunters point, because an article i read seemed to imply that although all the projects were important to us, this will be, because of the change in the development, the last one to be realized. i am very disturbed about hearing as to whether or not what i am seeing and quoting is rumor or whether or not there's factual basis to it. i very much appreciate all of us giving -- getting a thorough update, including how it attaches to commissioner sugaya 's comment about the cleanup. i understand correctly, it has to be completed prior to any activity on that portion of bayview-hunters point. i think there is a much larger issue including eastern neighborhood, etc., so i think we would all be well informed getting an update from you if you can. commissioner antonini: of in

keeping with commissioner sugaya's remarks, it tweaked my memory that i also read the article on hunters point and i talked to the author. i thought he did a really good job, but what it did not specify is that parts of the cleanup are finished and will be ready for development as early as 2012, and those parts include the possible stadium site park area around it and parking areas in whatever parcel that is. i think the comment that everything was 2017 was a little bit -- that is the finish of everything. he may write a follow-up on that, but i just wanted to clarify that. it was a little confusing to me. commissioner fong: i just wanted to say that i did take a meeting with the buddhist center and did have a meeting with the operator

sat a restaurant -- the operators at a restaurant. commissioner olague: i spoke with commissioner borden and a few members of the african- american community, and i believe there is interest in having a hearing to follow up on the task force findings on the out migration of set african- americans from san francisco. we will work on that. commissioner borden is in support of it to have it, because the task force came up with these findings, and then we want to look at what are the next that or not or how is the city being accountable to the findings of that report? and what additional information needs to be gathered that maybe we should advocate for that year did definitelaar but we would de

a report on that. >> think you. -- thank you. >> thank you, linda. i hope everyone had a long, restful break, august recess. i know it was something that several of us needed. i hope you are ready for a very busy fall, because the calendars are very busy for the next few weeks. regarding the hunters point project, i think it is a good suggestion that we pull together information. i think there was a support of a substantial cut greet that was it granted -- hud grant that was granted that will allow the project to go forward, but we will certainly give you more updated information on that, cta
