ordinance and refer the matter -- ask them to refer the matter to the ethics commission for a clear, willful failure. one of the things i have to ask myself in having received this withholding on a continuing basis is, what part does it play that they friends give luis herrera $3,000 a month for his own personal use? $3,000 a month, $36,000 a year, and if you look at it, about the seven years he has been city librarian, over $200,000. is that a conflict? when you look at the fact they are not paying any attention to the millions raised every year by the friends and what turns out in the coffers of the

library or benefit to the library, it is. the library commission does nothing to oversee the friends and from what i've seen for the records, they never did and the city library and is being paid very well not to, either. supervisor campos: thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. i know a lot has been said about this subject but i had to get my two cents' worth. this is about ross mirkarimi. elected to the board of supervisors for two terms from district 5 and winning, approval for his hard work and dedication to the citizens, he then was turned out because of term limits. he then ran for sheriff and won voters approval from the

citizens of this city. they saw him as a young man, dedicated to public service, his ambition in life was to work for the citizens of this city. shame on those who are trying to destroy him. he deserves better than what he is being put through now. there are those in the city that should abide by an old saying that goes, he who is without sin, cast the first stone. thank you for listening. supervisor campos: thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors. on july 26, 2011 at 9:15 a.m., i was at city hall dressed in full kenya to discuss -- dress to

discuss the foregoing. what -- i made these comments with reference to the elections in kenya, the united states, and to the international criminal court. an incident report from the san francisco sheriff's department, the nature of the incident. president chiu: could we have the overhead, please. >> yes, please. city hall, third floor. i was in full uniform and assigned as a deputy. at 900 hours, the deputy and i were dispatched to investigate a suspicious person in room 48. the department of elections. upon our arrival, we observed at

bonafide -- unidentified black male with copper wire wrapped around his head and he was wearing a long brown road -- robe with a rope around his waist. [unintelligible] another incident report from the san francisco police department. incident 110153149. official declaration, prop 115 certified. star number 299. on february 22nd -- >> thank you. next speaker, please.

>> good afternoon, supervisors. i am the executive director of the library users association. i am pleased to concern that thanks to efforts including research and assistance from attorneys, we were able to stop the paint out of the historic burkle heights -- bernal heights mural. it is a stay of execution good for 90 days and we ask that you do when you can to help make that stay permanent. the city in its haste to get rid of the mural, it is a wonderful merrill and i have shown pictures here before, simply did not follow the law which requires notice to be given to the artist or if the artist has died, to his heirs or personal representatives said they might have an opportunity to remove and save the work of fine arts. in speaking with people about

this mural, people will say, was there not a process? that led to the decision? with regard to getting rid of the mural and replacing it with two murals that are brand new. we say yes, there was a process. it was not democratic and riddled with illegalities. the sunshine task force has found in six hearings on six separate complaints unanimous decisions that there were illegalities throughout the process of decision making and for example, when library users association asks supervisor campos for his mural file, so that we can understand better what has happened, this is -- these are some examples of what we got. heavily redacted pages and pages redacting names, redacting

addresses, e-mail, phone number, and so on including -- e-mails and phone numbers, and so on including some that had died that year. that was an example. >> i wanted to weigh in in favor of the item 42 which is replacing ranked choice voting. president chiu: one can provide public comment on items that have not been considered. we have considered this matter. there will be an opportunity for july 10 for public comment on this topic and york or than welcome to come back then. next speaker. -- you are more than welcome to come back then. next speaker. >> this is a disposition and development agreement. when we came before the board many times regarding [unintelligible]

the city accepted the disposition and development agreement that has not been fulfilled. in other words, the disposition and development agreement is in default. now, i do not know if most of you have read the position and development agreement which is a legal fog -- document. it is in default. it gives away $7.30 million and the disposition and development agreement reaches a legal document, it is in default. one of you asked the city planner about the disposition and development agreement and tied with that, how big developers, huge hospitals, what

i call rove developers, come here -- rogue developers come here in these august chambers to light. you were disrespected. the legislative branch was disrespected. in 1996, the mayor chose to a charter an amendment to neutralize the city administrator and bring it into the executive branch. the executive branch has a lot of power now. but you are the legislative branch. and you must be vigilant and there were three of you yesterday that were vigilant. you have to be vigilant. we need an expansion of st. luke's in the southeast sector. thank you very much. president chiu: next speaker, please. >> i am resident of san

[unintelligible]

[applause] and my mother. everyone is so lucky to have you. we start off the program each year with a reminder of what the pink triangle is about. to tell the history of the pink triangle, please welcome the star of greece. -- of grease. [applause] >> good morning writ -- good

morning. this is too much to take in this early. you guys are amazing. the history of the pink triangle. the pink triangle was used by nazis in concentration camps to identify and shame homosexuals. this symbol, which was used in an attempt to label and shame, has been embraced by the gay community as a symbol of pride. [applause] that is right. however, in the 1930's and 1940's, there was nothing to celebrate. gays were forced to wear the pink triangle on their pockets in the concentration camps. to identify them as homosexuals, to set them apart from the other prisoners. triangles of various colors were

used to identify each category of undesirable. yellow for the jewish, brown for gypsies, red for political prisoners, green for prisoners, black for anti-socialist, purple for jehovah's witness, blue for immigrants, and tank for homosexuals. the pink triangles were slightly larger than the other triangle'' so that the guards could identify them from a distance. it is said that those who wore the pink triangles were singled out by the guards to receive harsher treatment and when the guards were finished with them, some of the other inmates would harm them as well. at the end of the war, when the concentration camps were finally liberated, virtually all of the prisoners were released except for those with the pink triangle. many of those with pink

triangles on their pockets were put back into prison and the nightmare continued. it is the same kind of senseless, irrational hatred that still haunts days, jews, blacks, and other minorities today. the taliban in afghanistan required non-muslims to wear identifying badges on their clothing, just as the nazis required their undesirables to wear those logos so long ago. history repeats itself. that is why 26 -- excuse me, that is why the twin peaks this play is so important. -- display is so important. we have to help educate others and present -- and prevent it

from happening again. what happened during the holocaust must never be repeated. [applause] >> to illustrate that that same kind of it hatred -- same kind of hatred exists, we would like to welcome mr. christopher to talk about his efforts in uganda, where they try to have legislation to execute days. [applause] -- execute gays. >> what has been happening in you gonjeh. -- in uganda, in the old days of

the yemen persecution of the homosexuals. homosexuality in uganda can be punished by death, hanging. and imprisonment for life. and for those who have called for homosexuality, they will be in prison for a number of years. and a woman cannot be a homosexual or else she will be punished. it will be very difficult --

the execution of the people in uganda. we thought that this bill had been forgotten or thrown out. but the support that we heard from all over the world since 2009. it has been revived. some of the leaders are behind the revival of the bill. i am really worried what is going to happen. if it is passed, those things could take place in this modern world it. i wonder how this could be

possible? i do. it is my hope to resist and oppose this prejudice. this is a time of love for all. [applause] i have been hearing from the speech of the different -- it goes to show we need your freedom. so that people are not discriminated because of what they are.

homosexuals or lgbt people are also created by god and they should be respected. [applause] in you gotta -- in uganda, we hope that we will be able to think again. all people are created by god and should be respected. we need love for all without discrimination. [applause] >> congrom
