it attractive enough for people to invest dollars. we have $2.2 billion of port infrastructure improvements that we have no money to do and are on backlog. in a few weeks we will be considering hundreds and hundreds of building and trades jobs that will be absent from that project. building in trade workers that will have no jobs. -- building antitrade workers that will be deprived of jobs. i do not want to be approving crumbling piers on the waterfront. if there is a lesson to be learned, we need to make sure that projects are a good deal for the city, but we also have to be mindful of public assets and taxpayer dollars. making sure that private investors are partners and allies for jobs and economic growth in san francisco.

we have to treat them that way. i hope that we remember that direct link between partners in real jobs in san francisco. taking the responsibility not to drive these people away. as far as the port goes, i am asking for a hearing on the port of san francisco possible long- term plans, in light of the fact be just lost $100 million in investment that would have rehabilitated those peers. it will focus on long-term plans for waterfront development and opportunities studied over the last few decades, and a vision for the future of support's entire infrastructure. -- future for the port's entire infrastructure. president chiu: let's go to general public comments. >> the opportunity for the public to address the board for leave -- for two minutes.

please note that of the comp -- public may not comment on the items that have already been considered. speakers using translation assistance will be allowed twice the amount of time. if you intended to display a document on the overhead projector, please remove the document when the screen should return to live coverage of the meeting. president chiu: let's hear from the first speaker. >> good afternoon for you in each one of our supervisors. you know my name, [unintelligible] i do not have good issue to speak about language. something else more than i concede. yesterday i had a chance to have meeting with former supervisor death tufty, .

he becoming now the big head of the city for taking care homeless people i am happy for him. i am glad that we have a history about georgia smith. she used to be in that position. but, shamefully, i tell you that he hired two of his brother and his niece to work in good with big money for something that they never had any experience of about. supervisor, i have here a lebron supervisor. you do not go far away from this city, from that city hall in the basement. your target, if you have homeless in your district, you have one way to go. go with me or without me to 18. you are going to go to the room

always. door open. lot people, i see them. lot people, in the ward, there. today you can see in my hand, newspaper. show you the homeless people all over the city. another newspaper for today, too. the homeless people. i will tell you something else, prove that many of them, coming to my city, for two reasons. number one, free hotel, which we have shouldered. then, the big money, that is the way they are coming from. supervisor, i do not mean to be brilliant, one of you, but i am going into all of you -- but in

bullion -- but i am boyant , all of you. i have meeting with him yesterday. he except -- he accepted having meeting with me next week to discuss the homeless and how we can resolve that problem. god bless you. come with me next week. we wait for your reaction. thank you. [clap] >> good afternoon, supervisors. do not give money to the friends foundation. stop the corporate rate of the public library. ra -- pe of the public -- rape of the public library. the library suddenly realized how bad this look.

the current budget report showed $7.6 million added this month. a significant fraction. it will take severalit will tako demonstrate that even this figure is a fraud. the repeating billion of loans would be a scandal in itself. this comes after a budget in the controller's report that found the branch program out of budget in the management out of control. it comes after a civil grand jury report in june 2008 which found that "no one was in charge of the store" in the voters had been hoodwinked. it comes after another audit by the comptroller -- controller in 2009 that found deficits in management oversight. 85% of standard's had not been complied with. it is clear by now the lack of

accountability is a way of life for these people. the reason, of course, is that broken promises is a way of life, and failing to document their actions comes as second nature, because private- corporate influence depends upon crop -- depends upon fraud. this does not change the fact that the lack of accountability should be an issue by itself. every time we try to turn it around, the influence peddlers try to pay it off and the benefits fall into fewer hands. we need sunshine. that is why the lies cost more than the money. >> good afternoon, supervisors. in september 2011, the sunshine taskforce found that supervisors weiner, chu, and cohen violated

the the sunshine ordinance in revising the parkmerced con -- contract. days later, supervisor weiner ordered a survey of the cost of complying with the sunshine ordinance. he emphasized the sunshine taskforce must function effectively. but he defined "effectively" solely in terms of costs, without looking at the results or benefits, or even performance metrics. we have now reviewed 38 of the responses to this survey. "we found is a one-sided instrument designed to overstate the cost of the sunshine ordinance and the task force. the departments are on record in the cost of state act like the brown act and labeling them as city sunshine ordinance costs.

virtually all departments are giving estimates of cost by what they remember, a sure way to inflate the numbers. even the cost of noncompliance with the ordinance that delays the city attorney fees, the hearings at a loss lawsuits, are all counted as compliance costs. there are other flaws in methodology we are reporting directly to harvey rose's office. the survey promotes three types of wrongdoing. one is political retaliation. the second is biased research. the final is a waste of tax dollars. unless this survey is modified, it will be worthless. thank you very much. president chiu: next speaker, please. >> i am peter boer field -- warfield.

with respect to the ongoing survey of sunshine costs now under way, only looking at the costs and not benefits biases the survey and suggests the stage is being set for a hatchet job against the sunshine ordinance and those who use it on behalf of public knowledge and awareness. when that apparent intended hatchet job is coming from a source that has formally been found in violation of the sunshine ordinance, let us just say it is worth looking at the source. i would say i am disappointed there is not a larger question being asked. that is how well are the supervisors supporting sunshine. the answer is it has not been as well as it could be when it comes to support for the sunshine ordinance taskforce.

we suggest that should be a board priority. if we look at some of the basic background for sunshine, section d says the right of the citizens to know what their government is doing is fundamental to democracy, and with very few exceptions, that right supersedes any other influence public officials may use to prevent access to information. only in rare and unusual circumstances does the public benefit of allowing government to conduct business in secret -- the should be narrowly defined to prevent public officials from misusing their authority. perhaps it would be cheaper to get rid of trial by jury or elections. but i guess that is what the friends did. it was too expensive to have

elections, and they abolished it. thank you very much. >> i am a mother of bayview hunters point. i can see how people feel intimidated to express the reality of what is going on. what i find shocking is the first time i asked anyone on the board of representatives the question of whether there would put the wellness children's program a block away from a sewage plant of a company that has no barrier, since 1952 has not been prepared? the stench in bayview hunters point is nitrogen oxide, which is a poison chemical that has been all over bayview neighborhood since 1952, causing us to have cancer and asthma. causing us to die. what i find shocking is you just passed an ordinance to have a wellness clinics for children

within one block without doing an environmental study. california pacific medical center is going to be building this. i find it shocking. why didn't you do the research to find out there was no study done? this is a block away from a sewage plant, a toxic environment. we know this is true. you have just been allocated $300 billion, or was it $300 million, to have the city repaired. this is shocking. all 10 of you voted for this without doing any research. i called you personally a half hour before you made your decision, supervisor avalos. president chiu: direct your comments to all members of the board. >> i called him a half-hour before he made his decision, and he knew. someone needs to have the courage to say maybe i am not sure.

i find it shocking that each of you voted for a rezoning that should not have taken place in an industrial area. everyone knows that is contaminated. everyone knows that is an industrial environment. president chiu: thank you very much. the speaker. -- next speaker. >> my name is mr. maxwell. this board of supervisors uses trickery analyze for the citizens of san francisco to put ballot initiatives on the ballot that attack public workers. proposition g impacted many operators. they impacted all city employees. it is sad to see people put things on the ballot that attack people that works and votes for

them, who trusted them to make decisions based on what the people need, not what their own personal agenda is. my thing is a lot of issues that need to be repeled. proposition e which established the mta is taking money from the citizens of san francisco, with high fares, reduction of service, putting parking meters in front of people's houses, and charging people to park in front of their house they pay property taxes for. that is double dipping. another thing is proposition g needs to be repealed. it is a personal tax on minority employees. proposition c needs to be repealed because it attacks all public employees in the city and county of san francisco. these things are racially

motivated, and these decisions need to be thought about. some ballot initiatives need to be put back on to repeal these propositions, effective immediately. the citizens of san francisco are disenchanted. public employees of the city and county are disenchanted with the services that the board, that they trust -- president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> i am going to piggyback on what mr. maxwell was saying, asking americans being wrongfully terminated, for instance at sfmta -- if an operator has 10 plus years and

is african-american, they come after you. i filed a sexual harassment charge. i went to the eeoc. i went to the dsc h -- dseh. management came after me like a lion, and i was wrongfully terminated in less than a year. i challenge you to go into sfmta and do an investigation and see what is going on. people are being wrongfully terminated who have 10 plus years and are african-american. i challenge you. sexual harassment -- there is wrongful retaliation. it has to stop. because you are a whistle- blower, i challenge you. do an investigation. >> steve zeltzer, united public

workers for action. proposition c was supposed to defend the interests of public workers while making concessions, and change the health care structure. but we have learned with the redevelopment workers giving laid-off is including in proposition c is a clause getting rid of reciprocity, so public workers from san francisco could not transfer out and keep their health care benefits and their pension. workers to transfer in from other public agencies would not be able to use reciprocity. this is a serious attack on public workers. the cost did say with the board of supervisors you can accept reciprocity from the supervisors. this raises serious questions.

why would the board and the mayor supports a ballot initiative, and specifically a consensus about initiative, that a tax the benefits of public workers throughout the state? who messed up? who forgot to read it? we complain about other legislators who passed legislation that have not even read. apparently in san francisco we have the same thing happening. our supervisors are not reading their own legislation the present before the public. secondly, there is a system now of retaliation against muni drivers for raising sexual- harassment, and osha complaints about the state of the buses. you voted $60 million for the tunnel, but the buses are falling apart. there is mismanagement and people are being killed. the have untrained drivers. it is killing the people and the

public and drivers are being state code. this has to change and we have to stop it. president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> this 9/11 will be 911 days from the sabbatical cycle. i this found that out sunday. the sabbatical cycle is extremely important in the first coming of jesus christ. in daniel chapter 9, the angel interrupted daniel's prayer and told him there would be 70 sabbatical cycles, or 490 years, and the messiah would come. the first coming of jesus christ was based on a sabbatical cycle. i believe the second is related to the sabbatical cycle. harold camping does not understand the year of jubilee. he thinks he does.

march 21, 1996, began the year of jubilee. it was the first state to the countdown of the second trumpet, which happened 2000 days later, which was 9/11. i predicted this event 30 days before it happened, because it is in the bible. i am not trying to toot my own horn. as far as i know, i am the only one who made this prediction. john macarthur is personally my favorite preacher. unfortunately, they did not teach me this. i wish they did so people would not accuse me of bragging. the point is this. the board are closed up and sealed until the time of the end. we are at the time of the in. -- of the end. i speculate the judgment day will be 1335 days into the new sabbatical cycle, based on daniel chapter 12, which talks about the blessing to the elect

that will come after 1335 days. that ended at the end of the sabbaticals let go. if i had an hour, i could explain logically, consistently, mathematically to you. president chiu: thank you very much. next speaker. >> good afternoon. my name is paul. i come to the board of supervisors this afternoon with a simple request. i would like to have the san francisco board of supervisors facilitate the televising of the san francisco housing authority commission meetings that affect so many of us in san francisco. i live at the jfk tower, which is for seniors and disabled people.

people affected by the housing commission do not have access to what is going on. it puts us at a disability. the tenants' association is not conducting monthly meetings of the tenants' associations. they are out of the loop. i would like to bring that to your attention. also, as an example, the board of supervisors back on may 24, 2011 unanimously passed and an ordinance 111-11 that was 110- 268 that changed the zoning for the john f. kennedy power. you took away all our parking. when the towers were built in 1963, 100 units, we had 20 units of parking. now that parking has been

stripped and i do not know where we are supposed to park. thank you so much. >> good afternoon, members of the board. my name is alan jones. my t-shirt says this is officially black future month. it is not for february. it is for march. i am going to be, for the entire month of march, in the bayview hunters point area, getting across a point to its residents that past and present city officials have used the bayview hunters point in a way that i believe is unjust. the san francisco forty-niners want to leave san francisco. they should be allowed to, of course.

but for the board to sell out bayview hunters point just for the fact that they want to keep the name san francisco on the forty-niners it is not right to the bayview area, who could use a lift by keeping the forty- niners in san francisco, in that area. i have sent to all of you my approach to this protest, which would be all of next month. i believe officials are letting down the bayview hunters point. i say the san francisco 49ers are not leaving, because this racist deal between big corporations will fall apart. i am putting all of you on

notice for the fact that you have my contact. i would appreciate it, if you read the material i gave you and understand racism should not stand, period. president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon. i am a member of americans for safe access. i am here presenting asset united, which is a new coalition of patience, dispensary owners, and concerned citizens. as a medical cannabis advocate, i am here to ask you to take action and defensive access, and also to let you know we have developed a list, and we will make sure you received that at your offices soon. i will not read all of them, but

i wanted to go over a couple. one is to direct the city attorney to the -- to refuse all requests for public information if it is not already available publicly. the other is to introduce and pass an amendment to article 33, establishing an emergency plan to we permit any mcd closed by the federal government that was still in good standing. i am sure you will want to know a lot more about these asks. i look forward to seeing you folks act soon on this. thank you. >> my name is when daniels. -- lynn daniels.

i want to give my two minutes to someone else. president chiu: we do not allow that. you can say with every light. -- you can say whatever you like. >> the way the city looks at low income residents -- i believe they should be more graceful and how they look at low income people in the city who are renters throughout the city. i think it should be put on a point that the city should be more acceptable to low income people when it comes to renting. they are part of the city, and they should be looked at as just as important as anybody else in the city. thank you. >> hello? thank you. my name is cliff.

i am going to speak about the parkmerced agreement. as a resident of san francisco and a voting citizen, an agreement has been reported by my friends and neighbors. i found it is one of the shakiest pieces of corporate dealing i have ever seen. the shenanigans would put the index in a bad crime novel to shame. the way this bill was drawn up and conducted was done with some content -- some contempt for everyone who would profit from it. this in tyler deal should be put in the fire. thank you. >>
