development in parts of san francisco in parts of san francisco that have not had a great deal of support. i am hoping that this will impact the budget process that is rapidly approaching. that is the extent of my comments. >> that concludes roll call for introductions. president chiu: why don't we go to general public comment? >> now is the opportunity for the public to address the board for two minutes for items within the jurisdiction of the board, including those on the adoption without committee reference calendar, but excluding items or reconsidered 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 you want to return to coverage of the meeting. president chiu: two minutes per

ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon. our supervisor -- in my hand, i have copies of the agenda for today. i would like to thank madam clerk. i have here, as you see, my name repeated three times. each time there is a complaint, i make it. again, it is the people who try

to take advantage of me. today, i have 70 years and four days. i am thinking god for that, that i still survived with what i have about my heart. in the meantime, ladies and gentlemen, our supervisors, i have always said my sisters and brothers, if you forgot me i never forgot any of you. i love you. even if i give you a hard time, i give you a hard time for my country, for my community. i have another copy i give the mayor and his security. the lady who works with him, olga, promised he was coming tomorrow at 4:00 to our building to share our community meeting. let me see how many of you will be with us tomorrow. campos, you coming tomorrow as

you promised me, 4:00? i understand many of you would like to come. after that, i would like to see my children, my family, be waiting for me. 2012 is my last year in america. after 30 years, i leave here. i never had a problem with the police. i never have been arrested. then i was. i am a nice guy for this country. i love every one of you. god bless you. thank you very much. stick with this lady here, and help her. president chiu: thank you. if i can please remind people to direct, and to all the members of the board and not individuals. >> stop the corporate rate of the public library. do not give money or accept

money from the friends of the library. when i get up here to talk about the library, the real story is about what happens to our institutions when they are run by our increasing government by private partnership. the public library is interesting, because it is presumed to be our most democratic institution. yet it becomes a public-private partnership, and no one wonders about the destruction of democracy. the public library has become the worst example of what happens when our public institutions are converted to the purpose of maintaining class barriers and promoting the influence of corporations and private money. there is no accountability for the public money that is spent at the library. there is no accountability for the private money that is raised. there is no accountability for were the private money goes. there is no accountability for the sunshine and ethics

violations that allow them to operate with impunity and in secret. city hall itself is enslaved by private money. the corporations paid for the chairs. not only is that what they do at the public library, but they will tell you so to your face. it is all about private organization. the only benefit the so-called fund-raising buys is influenced in city hall who. if -- is city hall. the only ethics is lifeboat ethics. the difference between running a society primarily for the rich is that the harm is that the lies cost more than the money.

president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> i do not know if everyone can see this. president chiu: it will just appear. there is. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i would like to talk about san francisco being the first digital city on the web. what i would like to share with you this afternoon is how san francisco can set the precedent, much as it has done with programs like data ssf, -- sf, where they opened up said the data. -- city data.

smart phones and other devices are becoming ubiquitous. now the times you need to put into place and infrastructure that would allow people to be able to submit this data. right now, we have a lot of city information from ge special communities and others. apps are putting social and local information out there as well. digital globes are allowing people to get into three- dimensional environments and view cities as well. going one step beyond this, the building industry is working on building information models. they are creating detailed models of the buildings and structures going into cities. what i would like to point out is that your city is becoming a three the model. there are open standards in

place. like the web, this will allow people to build these digital cities. from this, the possibilities are limitless. everything from simulations to showing people where they could film, and proposed parks and these sorts of things. people are going to be affected by that and can give feedback. president chiu: thank you very much. next speaker. >> good afternoon. i have come today to thank you for seven years of support for poems under the dome. it is friday, april 27. in honor of national poetry

month, i would like to give you this poem. the city bus is a municipal confessional. strangers would confess, and you will listen, because life is interesting. struggles to get by. long lines you wait in and how little hope you can get. food stamps. losing another job. getting passed over for promotion again. and outlandish politics. no really -- outlandish politics. and how hard it is to believe the truth of our times, as reality gets stranger and stranger. danger and more danger. strangers confess, and you will listen because life is interesting. the city bus is a municipal confessional. have the national poetry month. and thank you again for your support of poems under the dome. president chiu: thank you very much. next speaker.

if you want to just hold on a second, we will turn on that microphone. it should be live now. >> south beach apartments. a small light diversion. 1999, the earthquake, do you remember where you were living and how many places you have called home since then? in 1998, deland's the street, bayside village, and south beach marina apartments were opened. in august, south beach open. i moved in in december. previously, 10 years ago, my rent went up 8%, the next year

10%. this year, it went up 9.5%. i said it was not good for the neighborhood, for the city, for the democracy. the 17% increase in rent? what family can afford that? in my precinct, 652 registered voters exist. in the last election, 48 voted, 7.4%. i said it was not good for democracy. if this city is a set of teeth, my neighborhood has a cavity. this is 35 years of no rent control. this is what deregulation has done. a market rate home is not a home. the market rate apartment is not a home. it is a vehicle for investors to make dollars. no regulations -- some people

say it is better. some doctors use to say that cigarette smoking caused no harm. it is time for new direction. why not vote? if you vote, you are entitled to rent control equalling the cost of living. creating homes for involved citizens, versus shareholder profits. my neighborhood, our city, has a cavity. we need attention. we need to favor homes and people, and not market rate payers -- rate-players or speculators. president chiu: thank you very much. next speaker. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i have lived in san francisco for 60 years. i want to thank the ethics commission for yesterday's broadcast on tv. all of us studied everything

very closely during dinner yesterday. very informative meeting. i would like to pose the question -- which two supervisors should have been investigated, but still have not done by the ethics commission? you guys can talk about it all you want. secondly, i'd like to remind everybody present that it took a long time for a look upon to get arrested. i would suggest that when you have free time, you should look up the old tv series "the untouchables." you can figure out what i am trying to hint at. for the record, why it does audit and oversight keep canceling their meetings? i have a suspicion that something is being hidden by that committee. anytime you get three lawyers, better watch out. secondly, i would like to issue, for the record, a request for

monkees. davy jones is not going away. issue the sympathy statement. do not take it out on the widow just because you do not like me. also, joseph will be exposed by your allies in the east. they are being respectful and letting you guys handle it, but sooner or later, you can only delay the inevitable, and they will have to expose their western counterparts and put you all in shame for ever for denying joseph, a dead man, his do. for the record, he died in 1999. thank you. president chiu: thank you. next speaker.

next speaker, please. please step up. >> last week, i wrote this body a letter. i did not mail the letter. i have this letter in my hand. it was written the day that chalk went to the arms of jesus, saturday, april 21, 2012. i would like to redo that letter. dear members of the board of supervisors, let every soul be subject to the higher powers, because there is no power but of god. the powers that be are ordained of god. who resists the power to resist the ordinance of god. those that resist shall receive the nation. will the not be afraid of the power and do that which is good? i shall pray for the same. for he is the minister of god

for good. xiii. read the bible. sincerely in christ. you are a minister of god. i look around here. ministers of god. that is what the bible says. in the book of deuteronomy, the king was told to read the bible. he was told to read the bible every day. and even to write the whole bible himself, so that he would know who to kill and who to leave alone. everyone of you is pro- homosexual. you are saying that is a good thing, it is a good thing to be homosexual. in the old testament, you would be executed for being a homosexual or a river and so on.

you are promoting this. but god says you are a minister of god. when solomon dedicated the temple, he prayed. president chiu: thank you very much. let's hear from our next speaker. can we hear from our next speaker? are there any more speakers to export if folks could please step up. >> excuse me. i would like to speak on an item that i believe is up for proposal about benefit corporations in the city and county of san francisco. the item pertains to the third party -- president chiu: we have already considered this item. there was public comment at a number of commission hearings as well as three meetings here.

under our board rules, this is not the appropriate public comment period for legislation we have already voted on. >> i would like to make a comment on the topic, if i could. president chiu: if you would like to speak broadly about the topic but not the legislation, that is fine. >> benefit corporations have been highly valuable. i thank you for your attention on the matter. i would be glad to know that specifics are offered to what is codified and prepared for action. thanks for your time, and i hope to see some good work on benefit corporations in california and san francisco. president chiu: thank you very much. if there are other members of the public who wish to speak, please line up on the right hand side of the audience. >> ladies and gentlemen of the board, you are probably

wondering why it is this man wearing a tinfoil hat. this hat is the only means i have of expressing my non consent to medical experimentation of which i am the unwilling subject. violence has been done to me and continues to be done. camera on the projector, please. this mri scan shows two surgical lesions on a critical structure at the center of my brain. these wounds will never heal. i have good reason to believe that they are the result of national electronic -- nanoelectronic systems. tiny robots, if you will. it sounds like science fiction, but this technology exists

today. i am permanently disabled as a direct result. i can neither of them myself of nor could i have defended myself from these wrongs. the police have ignored my complaints. i am denied positive action at law. i have the following commands. i demand closure of the names of people and organizations responsible for coordinating and administering this teacher. i demand full disclosure of the contingency plans and project measurements of this program. i demand full accountability for all decisions made in the course of my treatment, the reasons why, and the people responsible. i demand an account for the legal and medical rationale for this program. i demand public disclosure of the names and contact information of all the people who have been treated without notice or the opportunity to be heard. president chiu: thank you very

much. thank you very much. thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors. some weeks back, and left some paperwork here. there were decreed name-changing documents from the family court next door. one of them indicated that i want to change my name. i think i have mentioned this before to the supervisors. i want to change my name to the name jesus christ. the judge, james robertson, denied the order. i met another judge to allow me to change back my name to the name i first came with when i arrived to the united states

back in july of 1990. i just wanted to inform you in case there were any conflict of interest that arose. i have also informed the judge of that court, and i wanted to inform you as the board of supervisors, in case any conflict of interest arose at this time or at any time later. thank you. president chiu: are there any other members of the public that wish to speak? public comment is now closed. can we go to the adoption calendar? >> items 14 through 20 are being considered for immediate and unanimous adoption without committee reference. they will be acted upon by a single roll call vote. if a member asks, in matter can be considered separately. president chiu: seeing none, roll call vote on the calendar. >> on items 14 through 20. supervisor cohen: aye. supervisor elsbernd: aye. supervisor farrell: aye. supervisor kim: aye.
