this is for the discretionary general fund revenues. we have taken great strides with what president chiu has brought forward today. this will continue to the next few years. this is another great step in that direction. >> they are completing the first name of the demolition. this was by july of this past summer.

most of these hours were held by women and people of color. i want to congratulate trans bay for this, because there were zero accidents. with the executive director -- the men and women, and the mayor address to this. and we will be speaking in public comments. they have been in litigation for the last few years. now the litigation is included, the fire marshal and others and

we are trying to see what we can do. we will be coordinating the meetings. i am proud to be a co-sponsor of the health care ordnance. i am -- we talk about the equity and the job creation. with the jobs we are expecting to create over the next few years, this legislation will affect less than 3% of the jobs. constituents come every day, looking for jobs and housing, i think is important that we create jobs. that we pay living wages and provide health care.

i am proud to support this legislation again. lastly, i want to end in memorial to leroy looper, who passed away on september 11, 2011. he was an active activist in the tenderloin. he brought the cadillac hotel, which many of us are familiar with and was of the first individuals to invest in the single room occupancy buildings, to give people a second chance in san francisco. when many people were convicted that depended on the source of housing, as low-income housing, the cadillac hotel is now considered a landmark in the city of san francisco.

every second friday, if you have not gone, they have jazz bands that play during lunch time. leroy was a leader and a visionary and an activist, believing in bringing the communities together, and he fought for the tenderloin to preserve low-income housing, when many other people were not on the boat yet. he did this by purchasing the cap -- cadillac hotel and proving that this could be done. soon after he successfully renovated this into the most prized property in the building, he began to host an annual party, and he felt the tenderloin needed the of -- the support and attention of the city and other activists.

he valued these buildings as giant structures worthy of historic preservation as many buildings were being demolished. and he understood the value of giving people a second chance. he was a former heroin addict and alcoholic, and dedicated his life to giving a second chance to others to rehabilitate. his family has requested that donations in his honor be mailed it to the cadillac. the moran is being co-sponsored by supervisor cohen. the memorial service will be held in his honor on october 5 beginning at 5:00 p.m.. the office since our condolences to his family and the community that loved and appreciated his leadership and active as and so

much. >> thank you, supervisor jim. -- kim supervisor weiner: i want to apologize in advance. my introduction this week will go viral. i do want to knowledge my colleague for being kind enough to place an actinomycetes before i got here. i have offered to provide him with a customized tell if you would like to come hang out with the guys. but on to more serious matters, i have very tragic in more atoms today.

over the last month, two residents of the castro tribal neighborhoods were taken from us prematurely, in pedestrian fatalities. on august 19, emily done, a young woman who had recently moved to san francisco was struck and killed in a crosswalk, apparently, at 18th and harvard. this is a very tragic situation, causing a lot of grief in the neighborhood. and then, just last tuesday, william cox, residents of the triangle was struck and killed by a vehicle at 14th. these fatalities remind us yet

again, that our city is not where it needs to be in terms of pedestrian safety. we have so much work to do with physical changes to different intersections, to increase the visibility and make this a safer place for pedestrians in terms of traffic enforcement, to making certain that people are able to get around this city, safely. i am continuing to work with residents of the triangle and the mass transit authority, because the neighborhood has a lot of pedestrian challenges. 14th street is not a good streak for pedestrians. market is one of the worst intersections in the city, and fortunately we are doing some pedestrian safety work and i look forward to continuing to work on those issues, but i

would request that we adjourn in memory of these tragic victims. >> supervisor cohen? supervisor cohen: i just got word that eloise westbrook, a matriarch of the african- american community passed away at 3:30 this morning, and i wanted to ask that we close in her memory. she is a legacy -- to leave a legacy of hard work with her tireless commitment to not just the african-american community but all of san francisco. it is introducing a hearing requested on the cleanup strategy, for hunters point shipyard.

as you know, last year, -- last year, when the board of supervisors approved this development plan -- they memorialize to their concerns about the final cleanup strategy in the project legislation. as a city, we have a stake in making certain that the cleanup and the revenue collected is protective of public health and the environment. the navy has released its proposed plans for public comment and in being consistent with these priorities bias to this hearing being -- be conducted before the board so the community has a chance to learn from the navy and the regulatory agencies about the

proposed clean-up strategies, and the rest, i submit. >> thank you. >> in response to a few district residents, and the concerns about large events in golden gate park from the august 12 and 13th -- to the bluegrass festival that will be in golden gate park, i am calling for a major hearing of the board to address residents' concerns, but also the parks and recreation department, the mass transit authority and the other relevant departments to mitigate the different nuisance and noise -- access and how the park is restored after the large events. just as a plague -- a plug from

the upcoming bluegrass festival, this looks to be the best one ever, with not just the traditional bluegrass performers but also everyone from led zeppelin, robert plant and one of the best drummers around, the king of funky drums. kris kristofferson, dr. john and his darkstar orchestra. and emmylou harris. it should be a good festival. september 29-october 2. and from last week's meeting, we honored era with different comments, and i am introducing along with supervisor campos, a

resolution dedicating september 25 eric posada day, calling on his work as one of san francisco's great leaders, and i wanted to give a plug for the september 25 celebration of his life. he was a friend of many of ours, but september 25 is at horris man in valencia. for more information you can contact my office. the oldest non-commercial radio west of the mississippi river. i have to say that kelw has volunteers that work at the

radio station. there is a community college district -- i want to thank the colleagues for supporting that effort. and we have several ideas for the future that are being promoted. they are going more mobile with different technologies, and their supporting more in-depth coverage. they are promoting a new generation of voices and they are strengthening their support.

i also want to acknowledge that -- we will talk about the leaders of the richmond district, with alcohol being sold at stores with automated self checkout stands, and the potential for minors -- we worry about them and people under the influence the may be able to get this at stores with self check out some. the assemblywoman, this coming friday -- this is on ninth avenue. supervisor avalos? >> supervisor avalos: supervisor mar, you didn't mention irma thomas.

"time is on my side" and i will be there, if i can. i want to sign on to the in memoriam for leroy, who has done a lot of great work in the tenderloin. his grandson is in my district. a lot of great work in san francisco. >> no other names on the roster, that concludes roll call for introductions. >> why don't we call up the 4:00 special orerder, items 32 to 35? on property located at 3151 to 3155 scott street. item 33 is the motion approving the plan commission's decision to approve the conditional use

authorization. item 34 is the motion disapproving the planning commission's decision and item 35 is directing the preparation of findings. supervisor chu: i'm going to ask that we continue this item to october 4 so that the appeal coincides with the other appeal. i also understand that the parties, both the supporters and are involved in negotiations. if those are successful, that it might affect whether or not we move forward with this appeal. at this time if i could ask my colleague, supervisor campos to chair this. i would like to make a motion that we continue these items. first, are there any members of the public to speak to the motion to continue or wish to speak on this project? please step up to the microphone. every member of the public shall have up to two minutes. let me make clear, you can testify today on your perspective on the edward ii

project or you can wait until october 4 or you can speak at both meetings. >> thank you very much. i would like to make a very brief comment. i'm an almost 40-year resident of the marina. when i first moved in, it was like a quiet village at the north end of the city. it has continually continued into criminal activity, homicide, robbery, burglary, assault, and mugging. as a retired federal law enforcement officer myself, to move a group of people which could easily be categorized for people like me as losers is the fox attempting to guard the henhouse. if this thing passes, i invite you to the fact that you have made a horrible mistake. thank you. supervisor chu: thank you, are there other members of the public who wish to speak on

this item? >> peter alexander. the reason that what i say is applicable because it's applicable to all of these things that are going on right now. just like the gentleman before we stated, i second what he said. it seems that everyone in the public is being picked on or possibly being picked on one way or another and things are only getting worse. so i heard the one person talk about financial concerns and so i'm wondering how many of you have looked up and googled four capital letters, cafr, which would take care of your financial problems immediately if not sooner and there will be another gentleman speaking on this later. and since i will be leaving, i wish to also address, i believe this ties into all of this that the young woman to my left, jane kim, i was listening and enjoying listening to her speak about the gentleman of the

cadillac hotel who put a lot of time and energy into the music engaging the public. i would say on behalf of this sort of effort, that we all get onboard and know that the general strike has already been struck. the media is not letting the public know that there are striking members of labors and schools up and down the coast from washington to san diego more than several, more than a dozen, but the media is not telling us this. and so the power of the general strike has begun. it will benefit us all and during this time, these gardens can begin in the spirit of the person that the woman on my left spoke of. i'll finish by saying that, again, man in into time shall be standing still, so sayeth the lord. it is the spirit in our heart that must engage and all of us must get on the stage. we were all affected and we

were all to be as one. only together do we shine as the sun. we are the power on the west coast. president chiu: thank you very much. are there any other members of the public that wish to speak in regards to edward ii? >> good afternoon board of supervisors. doug millar from santa rosa. you have heard from me before, at least some of you have. i'm a full-time investigator of crimes against children. as a man who has been successful in the business world before investigating these crime, i want to refer you to what you have just heard. this website stands for comprehensive annual financial report. if you go to this website, cafr 1, number one.com, you will see that every city, every county, every state in the nation has

two sets of books. i trust that you folks have not checked into this, so i'm giving you the benefit of the doubt. the bottom line is that we're going to hold all of you responsible for organizing voters in every jurisdiction, city and county in the bay area to do recall on at least one or more members of the city or the county board. we're going to do it right away as soon as january 1 roles, we will be launching it. we want to encourage you to do your homework and quit trying to pass more tax goals. you have a second set of books and you're awash with money. president chiu: thank you. before we continue, i just want to reiterate, this is for public comments specifically with regards to the edward ii project. we will have general public comment shortlyly. next speaker please. >> precisely to the point.

so when the constituents come here who live in the area and tell you supervisors that, you know, that edward's impacts in the area and have pointed it to you, some of them being safety, how can we address buildings without addressing quality of life issues? so the point is very simple. when the constituents come here and speak to you, listen to them. do not have a buy as that you all know everything and that, you know, the constituents know nothing. it is time that you get educated on issues. it is time that this planning department is taken to task. it is time that you supervisors learn to represent. finally, let me say this. it's good that you're supervisors. we need you to be supervisors that we want to represent. don't be here for a short time so that you can jump up the

totem pole and aspire to some higher offices where as supervisors you deal with mundane topics like the napkin. thank you very much. president chiu: thank you. are there any other members of the public that wish to speak with regard to the motion to continue of the edward ii item? ok. i have actually made a motion to continue. i'll ask supervisor campos to chair this portion given i have made the motion. supervisor campos: we have a motion to continue until october 4. we have have a second to that motion. a second by supervisors elsbernd. >> supervisor campos to continue it to 4:00 p.m. supervisor campos: on october 4. we have a motion that has been seconded by supervisor elsbernd. can we take that without objection? without objection. the matter will be continued. president chiu: and if i can call up item 36, madam clerk.

i know this item did not come out of committee. >> item 36 was not forwarded to the board as a committee report. president chiu: just so to make it clear to the number, item 36 is the legs with the special use district around the edward ii project. it was forwarded out to next week. we will consider it to next week's meeting. why don't we go to general public comment. >> the next item on the opportunity is the opportunity for the members of the public to address the board on items of interest within the subject matter jurisdiction including the merrill appearance before the board today. however, excluding the items which have already been considered by a board committee, speakers using translation assistance will be allowed twice the amount of time to testify. if a member of the public would like a document to be displayed on the overhead projector, please clearly state such and remove the document when the screen should return to live coverage of the meeting. president chiu: we have many

members of the public. again, if i could ask members of the public if you could respectful of each other's opinions. we do have a rule in the board chamber to not express support or opposition of comments that are made. with that we have the first speaker. two minutes per speaker. thank you. >> [speaking foreign language] ladies and gentlemen, as you know, i am very happy to see that our, the city mayor accepted my invitation i give him and he going with us

tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. to 1:30 on market. united nations meeting. i hope and i wish that the rest of our supervisors will show up with us tomorrow. i give him the invitation on behalf of my friend who has established this program for many years. ladies and gentlemen, as egyptian american muslim, i would like to thank each one of our friend, our neighbor for one they did. i would like to take a special thanks to thank channel 7 and cnn to give good memorial for

our people who have been killed in 9/11. you can see muslim and the christian and jew worked together under one point. we need to bring this job to the city, to the country. we need to see middle america like barack obama has said, we're going to make it sooner or later. i would like each one of you who is responsible for his district to wake up and work with us side by side. i have here some idea to make it and i would like to show you some news but they tried to show us how we are very respectable for our people and we are respectable and we are responsible to raise our own children. thank you.

president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> thank you. good afternoon, commissioners. i mean supervisors. my name is robert williams and i'm here today with robert and we are honorable discharged veterans. we come to ask the board's permission or the board's consent, well, not really the consent. we came to let you know what we're getting ready to do. we are very concerned about the polite of the veterans here in san francisco and we decided to start a west coast swing dance which is the state dance of california. the instigator being robert here himself. he can tell you more about that. but we're going to start this dance and we're going to have this dance, i feel a lot of hostilities in the room today and i tell you, it's been kind of hard for me to
