peter's catholic church july 2, with a lunceoheon to follow at sout hseh sea seafood village. they ask for donations to the building fund, and -- the rest i'll submit. thank you. president chiu: i want to join in the in memoriams supervisor mar made, mrs. mar -- their family was shaped by her, and professor jameshibayashi. he will leave a great legacy. i will join in the comments that supervisor campos made about the conversation at the land use

committee. for those who didn't watch it, it is worth spending time. i am troubled there were representations made around finances that changed. i was troubled that we will not be allowed to review financial information. we have to vote on a development agreement. cpmc could escape obligtions based on these projections. i know this conversation will be ongoing. this is a topic we should be focused on. i do have one legislative item. i have had my staff -- we have done work on how our buildings in san francisco can be made more green. we used a large amount of the

city's energy. i turned this legislation to help establish a program to encourage building owners to recycle water and i want to thank the staff were not only helping with the legislation from that we, but the legislation i am introducing today, concerning the topic of plastic water bottles. we all know the impact on the globe and in the city. every 27 hours, we use enough water bottles to go around the earth. californians get rid of 1 billion of them in the landfills. we have had a policy to phase out the plastic water bottles. to make certain that people are using reusable water bottles. one question that has been

raised is how we ensure that we can fill the reusable water bottles. we have new drinking taps, fountains other nontraditional, but in some places where you can actually not just get water, but fill up your reusable water bottle. you can do this at the airport and under this legislation, this would require -- they will include the drink founds, and they can be used to get water to the people of san francisco. hopefully we will continue to be relying and focusing on the renewable resources. supervisor olague: i introduce a

resolution that separates the golf course plan from the natural area plan. there are the goals and the project descriptions, on the own approval track. this is not shake the golf course in any way. this is not take a position on the ultimate future. this is not propose the alternatives were either project in any way. i would like to close today's meeting in memory of roxy jones, founder of pacific primary preschool. she served many families by being a parent, a volunteer, and a pillar of the community. she welcomed each child to the school daily, and shaped their

lives to be compassionate, well- rounded people. she dedicated most of her life to teaching the children of pacific primary. a warm hug and caring teacher. she is described as a shining light, who contributed her spirit to each child and family. ms. jones was so proud of her family and her primary family, and i am sure her husband, daughter, grandaughter, and a host of friends will carry out her legacy. >> thank you, supervisor olague. that concludes. supervisor wiener: i -- today, i have an in memoriam for boyd

schwartz, on alpine street, who last week, passed away. boyd was 79 years old, residing in san francisco for 47 years. survived by his partner, joe. they woneowned kester village wine company. they were great small business owners and had great institutions, and they are present and are just -- both lovely people. and boyd was always a pleasure to speak with and see and stop and talk to. he did die suddenly and unexpectantly. it was very tragic, both for

joe and the neighborhood. i'd like to request we adjourn the meeting in boyd's memory. >> mr. president, that is the role call. >> let's go to the 3:30 special order. supervisor wiener will make the presentation. supervisor wiener: today, i would like to honor one of our great commanders in the san francisco police department. commander lee, can you come up? [applause] lee, who si moris more popular

than any of us, retires after 31 years of service. he has played many roles in the san francisco police deparment. he is the commander in terms of transportqatioation and was the officer in charge of the homicide section, where she raised rates. she succeeded in each and every one. you may recall, several years ago, the commander was stabbed in the line of duty performing an investigation. she has been there for san francisco to keep the city safe. lee is also a real leader in the lbgt community, and it is

important to look in context, when you look at the san francisco police department, there are quite a few lesbians who have been able to suceed at higher levels, including a number of the command staff level, and not as many gay men. because of hiv and aids, a lot of gay men in the department were no longer there. with so many things in the community, during the epidemic, our lesbian sisters stepped up and really took enormous leadership. we saw that in the san francisco police department, and have more gay men working up the ranks, with our first gay male lt.

she co-funded the pride alliance, an association that is large naand thriving and lee played a great role. i got to know whelee when we wee on the lbgt board a decade ago. it was shocking to hear about your retirement. and your support is unquestioned. if you look at who is here. the diversity of the police department. would you like to say anything? [applause]

>> thank you. thank you. supervisor, for taking the time to recognize lee. she is not just the things you said, but more. she has been a great friend. one academy class in front of me. i am her junior. thank you for recognizing her. she is the best. >> thank you. lee, we will miss you. you will help the mta and i know people were concerend because you are such a great asset. i am glad you won't go far. but we love you, and we will miss you at the department. >> thank you, very much.

[applause] >> i will try to get through this without being emotional. i have been a cop 31.5 years. i came here when it was not easy to be a woman or an lbgt officer. you have worked with me over hte years to see you can be who you want in our police department. i think i just want to say -- thank you for recognizing the countless number of gay men we lost to aids in the mid 90's. i can't help but think where they'd be if they survived the aids crisis. i want to leave you with -- what

i will take with me. the men and women who do this job every day. i am blessed to work with them, and honored to be part of the police family. the men and women dof this department do it better than no other. thank you all very much. [applause] >> there are a few more comments, for the commander.

supervisor campos: thank you, president chiu. i want to thank her for many years of service. at the board of supervisors, we recently were honoring -- this highlighted the fact that some time in the history of the lbgt community, there was the feeling that many of us have with respect to the police department. this was something negative that was a time when -- not too long ago, there was persecution of these people by the police department and that is why it is so important to have members of this community plays such an important role. i want to thank you for being an important part of this -- and

this adds to the effectiveness, now, when a boy or girl, the image they have of the police department is that video, your presence in that department for all of these years, as an openly gay man, i thank you for that. i wish you the best in your retirement. we will see you around. you are not going away. supervisor chu: i want to say congratulations on your retirement. i am thankful you will be around to help us with our dbt and the reorganization and we look forward to that things will do

in that capacity. >> thank you very much, supervisor. supervisor elsbernd: i want to also join you and today is your day. i want to recognize within the police department that the retirement -- at the retirement board, i was stunned at the list of retirees within the department. a huge number of captains, a number of the tenants, a number of commanders. we're going to see a lot of people who have given a lot of years to the people of san francisco and want to thank them and appreciate all of them and to those who are staying cannot encourage them. we look forward to working with you. >> supervisor olague: i want to thank you. i saw you just this sunday at pride. i was reflecting on the losses we entered during the 1980's and

1990's from the hiv epidemic. i can see how when you leave this position, you cannot help but go back and reflect on the people over the years i want to thank you for your service and wish you the best of luck and hope you get an opportunity to enjoy some time off. >> thank you. if i could have one more second. i do not think a person gets through 31 and a half years in the police department without the support of their family. i am blessed to have my partner and my son here. i would like to ask my partner and my son to stand up and my son just graduated with his degree in mechanical engineering a couple of weeks ago. [no audio] [applause] i am thrilled because he is working for a firm in the east

bay. the countless number of hours i am away from home and the stuff they have had to put up with and in door, i could not have gotten to where i am without their love and support and i would be remiss if i did not tell them how much i love them and thank them. thank you.

next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors. stop the corporate rate of our public library. do not accept money from the friends of a library. did i give money to the friends of the library. i have discussed the failures of public-private partnerships and the active subversion of democracy. today i am discussing the big fraud. i hope you will be listening. we have 11 years of reports that are required to be submitted to the california state attorney general which showed the friends of the library have income of over $40 million and expenditures of 48 -- $40.1 million. this is a federal irs form designed to expose organizations that prayer and public resources. the form asks if the french received governmental for funding to which the friends respond know. the form asks for the value of the facilities and services they

receive from a governmental agency to which the friends respond 0. in fact, the france race -- collect books for book sales at each branch. they run a bookstore in the public library claiming to be the highest grossing bookstore in the city. they run events and parties in library facilities. most of all, all revenue from naming opportunities in 24 city facilities throughout san francisco go directly to the friends. the benefits they receive from public assets is many times the benefit that the public receives from them. but they are corporate philanthropy and lack of accountability is what they get from their money. the disclosure is designed to prevent the public partner from turning public assets into private cash but that is exactly what they do. and they get their so-called aristocratic privileges for

pennies. as bad as that is, the lies cost more. thank you. supervisor avalos: thank you. neck speaker, please. -- next speaker, please. i>> i have spent the last 10 years fighting the city library and to get documents which are disposable -- discloseable. a year to get documents related to the friends and the library's financial relationship. i have to question at some point in time why luis herrera has used his office to withhold public records from a member of the public. he has continued to do so and i have documented proof that i will be taking back to the suns signed --
