-- which city -- the city ignore since his mysterious death in 1999. in san francisco, is ok to sacrifice one dead game man. i am predicting his case will become another stonewall, especially if certain leaders on the east coast will have a say as to why the leaders in san francisco turned their back on a dead gay man. thank you. president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon. i am a member of americans for safe access, the nation's largest nonprofit advocacy organization on medical cannabis. i represent patients, dispensary owners, other advocates and we're here to ask you to protect and defend safe access.

while we appreciate the resolution, we would like to see something concrete and one of the strongest actions we think you could take is to re- permitting the dispenser is that have already been closed. this sends a message to the government that their tactics are a waste of our resources and hopefully, they will stop these tactics. we have others as well -- i hope you guys will all join us in this. i know you support medical cannabis here in san francisco. thank you for your time. >> i am also a medical cannabis patient. i wanted to ask you guys to help continue to be a model for safe access on the national and statewide level. there is several things that you guys can do to help us achieve that.

you can introduce and pass an ordinance to file an amicus brief in support. introduce and pass an ordinance directing the city attorney's office to join the petition to reschedule marijuana and this one is important because you could be that first city or county to sign on with that. i want to thank you guys for time and hope that you take some action. thank you. president chiu: next speaker. >> hello, i am a delegate to the san francisco labor council. i would like to speak in favor of -- i was looking, it may not be on the agenda today of the new ordinance, proposed ordinance of foreclosures, calling for more -- a moratorium on foreclosures introduced by supervisor. the san francisco labor council

is long in favor of a moratorium on foreclosures. in the 1930's, there was a moratorium on foreclosures enacted in the state of michigan and then several other states adopted it. i think this is a very important thing that we need to do today, and i think actually, there is the governor, the president of the united states, and possibly the mayor could declare a state of emergency because in many neighborhoods, it is truly a state of emergency affecting our cities. and rural areas. right now, 75% of mortgages are guaranteed by either fannie mae, freddie mac, or the federal housing authority. president obama could declare a moratorium on foreclosures based on the emergency provisions that he is empowered to enact. i believe the state governor

should do the same and the city of san francisco should do the same. i was out -- at a demonstration at the bayview on friday. it was very impressive. 100 people came out in the rain. a longshoreman, his home was being fraudulently taken from him. i believe i have seen the study in which 90% of the foreclosures being done in the u.s., there is one irregularity or fraudulent part of it. thank you. president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> hi, i am morning star, a resident and voter. i have lived in my apartment since 1985 during the aids epidemic. i lost all my neighbors through aids and i am the only one alive who is still there.

a year ago i came to you because i needed help. i have not been slipping for a long time -- sleeping for a long time because it is too noisy. there are 22 restaurants, that is too many. there because of public health because -- they're not willing to give us information about what is going on. when we went -- there is 365 calls within one year, when paul -- one call per day. we had called the police department because of the noise. they put a [unintelligible] on my roof and i had to hear the compressor. i ended up sleeping in the park because it is too noisy, i cannot sleep in my house. i almost got raped because i

needed to go somewhere i can sleep. i don't know anybody who can put up with this noise in the city. the city works for us. thank you. president chiu: thank you very much. man asked if there -- may i ask if there are any other members of the public who would like to speak? the seeing none, -- seeing none, public comment is closed. >> 16 and 17 are being considered for immediate adoption. these items will be acted upon by a single roll call vote. president chiu: would anyone like to sever any of these items? roll-call vote on items 16 and 17. >> supervisor olague, aye. supervisor avalos, aye. supervisor campos, aye.

president chiu, aye. supervisor elsbernd, aye. supervisor farrell, aye. supervisor kim, aye. supervisor mar, aye. there are eight ayes. president chiu: those items are approved. if we go to the imperative agenda. >> supervisor avalos has offered an item. proclaiming march social worker month. president chiu: is there anything else you'd like to say about it? supervisor avalos: no, i would be -- i would like to have your support. president chiu: you are making a resolution to adopt the brown act finding? is there a second? let me ask if there is any public comment on this item? any public item with regards to

this imperative resolution? if not, can we take without objection, that should be the case. there is a motion to adopt the resolution, is there a second? can we take that same house, same call? without objection, we will adopt the resolution as proposed. at this time, all we have left is the four-o'clock special order which will be continued if we could temporarily recess until 4:00, hopefully it will take a moment or two to move through

president chiu: welcome back to the san francisco board of supervisors meeting. would you please call the special order? >> items 12 through 15 comprise the special order. a special hearing. approval of a conditional use authorization located on property at 1111 -- the masonic center. approving the conditional use authorization at the california street address. a motion disapproving the planning decisions -- commission's decision. president chiu: thank you. as is stated, i would like to continue these matters to next week given that we are lacking 3 colleagues today. if i could have a motion to that effect? is there a second?

seconded by supervisor campos. let me see if there are members of the public who wish to speak with regard to this motion to continue. seeing none, at this time, colleagues, if we could take the motion to continue without objection. this item will be continued to march 27. with that, madam clerk, is there any more business in front of the board? >> today's meeting will be adjourned in memory of the following individuals. for the late clarence saki. president chiu: thank you. unless there is anything else in front of the board, the meeting is adjourned for today. thank you, colleagues.
