supervisors. i occupied the agent -- the patient advocacy seat and. i came here to support marquis ausby who has worked diligently on patient issues. having that have people come from experience is incredibly important. and the vote of hiv-positive use is something that is lacking. it is something that he will bring to the table. that alone, this is a very critical moment for us and i would like to support sarah from americans for a safe access end of that they do have representation of a vote. martin oliver has always been

appreciated by the patient advocacy community and his balancing efforts. and of like to support the doctor for not only having the necessary medical input, but noting that he is the only physician willing to work with me when i went to bat for low- income patients and veterans that could not afford a doctor's visit. no other doctor would work with me. >> a good afternoon, supervisors. i currently holds the no. 1 on the task force. i am the elected spokesperson. i am here to say that i appreciate every single applicant that has come before you today. they have all contributed and

done a great job. i have sent e-mail to all of you listing who i strongly support. 42, i strongly support hunter. for seat 4, i strongly support carol who is not here before us today. and leonard and canada. i think they would all be great editions. i strongly support martin's reappointment at sarah's reappointment. i am very grateful that the doctor has decided to apply and i strongly support his application, too. i can send of things about the brand to has been a tireless advocate for the low-income patients and has made significant contribution to the medical taskforce in the form of a proposal for a low-income cultivation garden that is included in the annual report. i am happy to answer any questions that you may have.

>> my name is paul and i support in-house marquis. he is a good friend of mine. he is a hard worker. and i also support kenand bre-- ken and brent. >> the evening, board of supervisors. i want to state that i stand in support of sera, martin, dr., and can. i also wanted to support marquis ausby. for the past year-and-a-half, i have not seen him as a meeting. he has been diligent in supporting the task force.

he has been taking on extended roles and volunteering. >> i have been a patient since 2000. i have been a caregiver for others since 1976. i have known lots of germany -- a terminally ill people that needed medical cannabis. been around the task force meetings and stuff, the different committees, i have noticed that the consistency of marquis ausby nd ken -- and ken lima, i also see their work and compassion with the other patients, and i recommend that

both of them be appointed to seek to end for accordingly. >> i am here to support the candidates sarah schrader, marqquis ausby and more. they are candidates i have known and trusted for years. kenneth lima is my cousin and the way he took people -- and took care of people in hospice care, i was extremely humbled. one of the people he took care of that the veterans hospital had $1,000 stolen from him by the nurses and he stepped up and helped him with issues that he

faced by not even having some basic needs met by the nurses. it was really appalling the way he was treated. i think of all these other people in these hospitals and i shudder to think that they need someone like my cousin to be there for them. that is all i wanted to say. >> i am just actually appear because i know that everybody who is applying for to be a part of this is passionate in one way or the other about that a self canada's rights and protections. so i would say, i don't know, created position for everyone. i have worked side-by-side with

marquis. i know what he has done and the commitment he has had to the movement and protecting our rights. i have been a protest lithium and some of the other candidates. i support them all, but i wanted to let you know my thoughts. >> my name is louis, i am a patient for about six years now. and i highly recommend marquis ausby. i have personal experience as a recipient of the work that he does with the access of love, he is at all the meetings, it is very supportive of people, medical canada's patients, and i

have had a problem with that like all of us have. i have gotten to see that, i can't think of anybody more qualified. as far as all the other person's, i can very much recommend each and everyone of them for the other seats. supervisor kim: are there any other speakers for public comment? public comment is now closed. i do want to thank all the members of the public that came out for this item has yet to the applicants. how want to concur with one of the public speakers, fred. i think every advocate is very passionate and you can see that in the application and through the letters that we received on your behalf. it is a very passionate community, and we have a lot of great individuals for these

seats. we do have the number of seats where there is only one applicant. including two of which that would be real appointments. i like to see if we can move forward martin olive and sara schrader, brent, and tehe doctor. i think that -- we appreciate them for applying again. i know that the task force is a huge time commitment. i know that there are multiple committees even within this task force. for applicants that we are not able to put on today, i think several of you are already involved on committees. there are other ways to be involved with this task force. i think there will be a lot of work next year in terms of what the future of the taskforce is going to mean.

diversity is a big issue for me, it is something i like to see. i know that we don't have tremendous diversity, it is something that i have been weighing in terms of looking at the applicants. i am highly impressed by mr. hollyman and mr. ausby. your very clearly qualified in your experience and background. very strong community support. we have gotten a ton of letters on your behalf and you have come to my office several times. i appreciate your persistence in your interest in the sea. i would like to support mr. ausby for seat number two. in seat number four, mr. watkins was not here today but i was impressed by him a couple weeks

ago. i know he commutes from sacramento but has been incredibly active serving patients. and kenneth lima, your tireless dedication to patients is great. it is nice to know that you are related. i would be leaning toward supporting mr. watkins today. any thoughts? supervisor elsbernd: sure. obviously, no problems with 6, 8, and 10. i fall on the other side from seat 2 and 4. i was impressed with leonard watkins, but i think it is a mistake to choose someone from sacramento. sacramento is a big commute in this is a very active task force.

to ask someone -- not to ask him, but to reject a qualified sentences than for someone that far away and think is a bit of a mistake. as cq, i agree with you on diversity. it is diversity of opinion. what i see a lot, if you're not part of the click, you are not allowed. we have seen the click speak for one candidate and not for another candidate who, if you look at the rest of may, is a super qualified and has a great background and would probably agree with every position put forward. we don't know. having someone with a divergent point of view or coming from a different background than everybody else that is part of the process is probably a good thing. obviously i am speaking about

mr. holliman. i will leave it to you to figure out where you want to go. supervisor wiener: i think there was a mistake here. supervisor kim: i think we can do this without opposition in terms of moving forward martin olive, sarah, brent, and the doctor. thank you for being here. we have to applicants for c two and two applicants for a seat for. we have hunter holliman and marquis ausby for seat two. ansupervisor wiener: you expresd

your preference for mr. ausby and mr. watkins? supervisor kim: i do like everybody who applied, so i understand where supervisor elsbernd is coming from as well. i know from talking to folks that they have been an almost every meeting. members of the public at commented on that. >> i think i willg go for mr. watkins. seat two is a hard one, but based on what i have read, i will go with mr. holliman. supervisor kim: ok, so what we have moving forward here as a recommendation than from the committee will be mr. holliman

for seat two and for -- >> [inaudible] supervisor kim: i'm ok with doing it as one package. mr. watkins for seat four. >> [inaudible] supervisor kim: ok. we can move that forward with recommendations. i really wanted to thank mr. ausby and mr. lima. i know you have spent a tremendous amount of time and are very active on the task force. we had a very difficult decision in front of us and i would love to see everyone moved forward as well.

thank you for your time. we can do that without opposition. >> would you like to waive the residency requirement? >> in motion to waive the residency for mr. watkins. >> so moved. supervisor kim: without opposition. we will be moving forward visa applicants. unholy can do that without opposition. thank you.

[inaudible conversations] >> now it is going to go to the rec and park commission to do final design approvals. >> is it a ceqa thing? >> there will be a ceqa process. >> is there going to be a food truck? >> i introduce legislation so that they can move it on to the streets. it is a cut out at nineteenth and dolores. that is a separate thing. on the web site, there is information about it. but the final design, you can call my office if you can't find

it. supervisor kim: at this time, we will be moving into closed session. do we have a motion for this? without objection.

supervisor kim: the meeting is now adjourned.

supervisor mar: meeting of the land use and economic development committee. the meeting will come to order. to my left is supervisor wiener, and malia cohen will not be with us today. can you please give us the announcements? >> please turn off all sell funds. if you wish to speak during public comment, turn them into myself. if you have any documents for the committee, -- items will appear on december 6, 2011 unless otherwise stated.

supervisor mar: we have four items on the agenda today. >> resolution approving the property near the intersection of ocean avenue where a public plaza for 75 years -- supervisor mar: we have the director of real estate for the city. >> good afternoon, chair. so this is the fifth of five plant pieces of legislation that involve the redevelopment of the area near the bus loop. previously, you have recommended approval for a complex exchange data involved jurisdiction of transfers and exchanges between sfmta and puc. the sale of land with mixed use development that is under way. and the really classic transitory and the project.

today, we are focusing on what will become the plaza de way from ocean avenue to the new city college and campus facilities. and in the attached development for the reservoir property is owned by the puc. i put some there for the context. this is the area right in the heart of the plan. this is under sfmta jurisdiction. the sfmta has secured a grant to provide sufficient funds along with other funding to reconfigure and relocate the bus loop, and design and build of the plaza on the building. it has granted the sfmta $1.2 million for construction of the

plaza. this is a context shot showing the area in yellow and the facilities of city college to the right. this is a little more detailed. you see the plaza area prospectively in green that is currently the bus loop. it will remain as such until funding is in place. i will give you more details and a second. this is a visual of what the plaza area will look like. we're going to transform the asphalt into this, a much more inviting area. this item is approval of a lease between the city and the city college. it will allow the city college to maintain and control with certain provisos for a term of 75 years. it is estimated the cost will be

approximately $12 million over the term of the lease. it is reflecting much in liability -- the city college accepts that responsibility for the 75-year term. there is the gateway that you saw in the rendering. social and entertainment areas with a vending and retail uses that include a molehill vendors or a farmer's market. supervisor mar: mobile vendors like food trucks? >> likely in conjunction with farmers' market to activate the plaza. it is anticipated the plaza will be completed in 2015. this is consistent with motion 17775 of the plan that was adoptedo
