laundering, and sweetheart deals related to the central subway. these issues are not mine alone. these issues are raised by the city attorney. someone is not telling the truth. that is why we need an impeachment trial, and i urge my supervisor to call for an impeachment trial of mayor lee. let the sunshine in and have an impeachment trial so these issues can be vetted before the public. thank you. supervisor chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon. i am here to thank you for approving the funds for the adult day health program. i was on the committee that started the first adult day health program in chinatown in 1972, and then, we knew it was very unusual but for the first time, people could get -- supervisor chiu: excuse me. there is a rule in the chamber

that we do not allow public comment i items we have already voted on. you want to speak about adult day health center is more broadly, that is permissible. >> the adult day health centers, what i was in washington in april, i noticed that the national organization of areas on aging was talking about how important adult day health would be to their work and transition from hospitals, and it certainly is important, and i think it is how you get out of a hospital earlier and how you still get the therapy you need, and i think the governor has forgotten that people get physical therapy. i would like to mention the example of one person i know who has been in adult day health and has just been removed, who was paralyzed from the neck down. he has a round-the-clock care, including his wife and two home

attendance, and he goes to adult day health to learn how to get his mouth to his hands. if that is not important there be to be able to feed yourself, i do not know what is. i think they forgot when they removed it from the state budget that that kind of therapy is important, too. supervisor chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> presbyterian minister. who would 50 years in the church of rome, fascinating read. 550 pages long. i am on my sixth time through, which proves that abraham

lincoln was assassinated by the jesuits. there is no doubt about it. abraham lincoln was charles chickee's best friend, charles was his best friend. there is no doubt about it. roman catholicism and islam are very similar religions. if you kill a christian, you get to go to heaven. in islam, if you kill a christian, you get 72 blushes virgins, but in roman catholicism, at the council of the turn, they determined that if you kill a christian -- they called them a fair to -- a h eretic -- you would go to paradise. time flies when you are having fun. i could easily go an hour. it is an amazing book, but i think of jazz with governor brown, who signed ab 48 that

basically brands christians at the stake as the homosexual agenda is basically forced on christians view this wicked, weil abomination is forced on christians. truly, the day of judgment is coming. it really is. on family radio, they are reading a great book. there is a fellow also in the fox's book of martyrs. supervisor chiu: thank you very much. any other members of the public wish to speak in general public comment? >> hello. i just begin? thank you. i am it president of californians for electro reform.

-- elect coral reform -- electoral reform. you're so it surprised the and then it has an interest even before the results of the election appeared in your first election, nine of you avoid a second run of the election you would have had to face under the old section. supervisor cohen would not even have been in the runoff, and supervisor chu the has the privilege of incumbency benefited because she did not have to plan for the possibility of a runoff election. it is not just supervisors who have benefited. so have taxpayers. san francisco paid out $7 million -- saved $7 million, and it is estimated it will save another $3 million this year. rather than repeal it, i suggest you follow the recommendations of your own voting systems task

force. in section 244 of the report, they recommend that san francisco should reenergize its outreach. preliminary results should be released as frequently as results for non-pulmonary running and you increase the number of rankings voters are allowed to specify either with current equipment or whatever equipment eventually replaces it. i know you refer a two-year or five-year contract extension to dominion and the dominion does plan to introduce equipment, and until they do, you can take advantage of the authority you have to contract out the municipal portion of your elections. san francisco has benefited from right choice voting, and i suggest instead of ending it, you amend it. supervisor chiu: thank you. next speaker.

>> hello, supervises. i am program director from self- help for the elderly about these services. i am coming here today to take an opportunity. we serve three different kinds of models of adult day health care, and i just want to say san francisco has been a leader in the resourced, and we continue this path and thank you for your leadership, and we will continue to use this as a precious community resourced to serve the community. thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors, president. i am the program director for

concern that restoring the front of it would cost $18,000 and where are we going to get that, to a very close process that came out the other end with a cost and a project 10 times the expense -- $185,000. and with a very nice little feature for the friends of the public library -- fiscal fee, $16,500, almost the whole cost of the original idea for renovating the mural right here on a blog site that talks about some of the aspects. and which, by the way, was never discussed at the library commission. never shown to the library commission as any kind of document for their consideration. that merrill has gone through a very -- that mural has gone through a very unn-public

process, a close process -- a closed process. the library continues to fall down on basics. i have talked with you about the new print and copy system. the last time i was in a branch, there was a woman who could not add money to her card. she was not able to make a sample copy from a page in a book until the library and helped her on both. the man behind her and in front of me was not able to make a print of a document from his web page. there is also now apparently a privacy issue at the main current jobs and copies get mixed up. thank you. supervisor chiu: thank you.

75 years, to develop housing for low-income formerly homeless residents. >> this is the ground lease for 25 essex street. and there is a non-substantive agreement. >> i am the acting director at the developing agency, and we have the ground lease for 25 essex street. this is the first project in the redevelopment to move forward. this is on the corner of fulsome and essex street, with 120 units of supported housing, with the department of public health and

the housing program. and the ground-floor retail around fulsom. they were jointly selected by the department of public health. city-wide case management. they have worked hard to bring this to this point, to start construction, with the multi- family housing. the equity in the redevelopment funds, and we have reached this exciting place of approving the ground lease. the ground lease will continue in november. the board is required to consider the approval of the ground lease with the standard terms of the deal of the structure. this is 100% supportive

housing, with the funds for these extremely low income individuals. the crown leases only $1 per year, with a minimum 75-year term. and is structured this way to ensure the long-term affordability for the site, to make certain that this remains affordable housing. i would like to ask to the board to consider the amendment, with additional language to be added to clarify the fact that the crowd -- the lease was entered into and executed before the redevelopment activities, and this is considered enforceable obligation. this concludes my presentation but we have staff from the community housing partnership and i am here to answer any questions as well.

>> and are there any questions? can i ask the district -- district supervisor if there are any comments to make. otherwise we will go to public comment. -- >> i know that this happened before my time on the board of supervisors but this is one of the first residential buildings to go up under this plan. this will be 119 units of supportive housing for the most low-income individuals, with the support of services as well with the ground retail, and this is something the public really wanted to see with more activity at the ground-floor level. this is another side for the trans bay redevelopment area. -- >> we will open up the public hearing. and are there any members of the public to speak on this item?

scene 9, the public hearing has been held and is now closed. we have been asked to make an amendment to the underlined resolution. is there a motion -- without objection, this will be made and on the underlying resolution as amended, we can take a roll-call votes. >> chiu? chu? elsbernd? cohen? kim? farrel? mar? mirkarimi, aye. avalos, aye. supervisor campos, aye. 11 ayes. >> the resolution is adopted as amended. can you read the in memoriam? >> we will adjourn at in the

declaration of independence for women. it marked the beginning of the women's equality movement in the united states. >> at that time, women were banned from holding property and voting in elections. >> susan b. anthony dedicated her life to reform. >> suffrage in the middle of the 19th century accomplished one goal, it was diametrically opposed to this idea. >> many feared it would be corrupted by politics. >> women in the 19th century had

to convince male voters that having the vote would not change anything. that woman would still be devoted to the home, the family, that they would remain pure and innocent, that having the vote would not corrupt them. >> support gradually grew in state and local campaigns. >> leaders like ellen clark sgt come repeatedly stopping these meetings -- , repeatedly stopping these meetings as a politically active figure. doing everything they could to ground the campaign in domesticity. >> despite their efforts, the link made it tough whenever voters were in the big city.
