that passed away on may 3. he died after a struggle with metastatic melanoma. he was born in san francisco in eureka valley on collingwood street. he attended high school, graduated with a civil engineering degree, and with a master's in transportation. his lifetime career with the city and county of san francisco started in traffic engineering. one of his accomplishments solved a conundrum the city was facing and had to deal with the intersection at eighth street towns and, division, henry adams. he designed that entire area of which was not an easy task. in 1987, he was appointed deputy

director of the department of public works and received a commendation for his leadership during the earthquake. scott coordinated the many transit partners for airport renovation has his final job before retirement. he is survived of his wife of 30 years, rebecca, and his brother, and his sister, susie. the rest i submit. supervisor cohen: think you very much. colleagues, i will be introducing a resolution with the support of co-sponsors, urging the mayor and other city officials including the chief of police and not to pursue implementing a version of new york city's sto andp and --

stop and frisk policy. exploring and implementing something similar to this policy, and it has yielded little success. what it has done, it has created a conflict between citizens and law enforcement officials that led to a culture of racial profiling and violations of individual constitutional rights. just to give some context of how this policy works, he police department conducted a 685,724

stocks. that is no more than 1800 a day. the vast majority of these stocks resulted hand in no arrests, a violation, or ticket. what is more disturbing is that a majority of the stops were african-american, latino, and a male between the ages of 14 and 24 years old. san francisco is different from new york city. here is why we have prided ourselves and our commitment to civil rights and community policing. as a board and as a city, we are a sanctuary city that takes steps to ensure that we are not racially profiling and counter- terrorism activities. we have spent years impacted by violence and law-enforcement officials. we have developed innovative

community policing for community-based violations -- the community response organization. implementing something like this here would not only be counter to our values as a city but will also erode years of work that we have put in an building trust between communities and law enforcement. i share the mayor's frustration as many of you do with the violence in our city. i know all too well the factors that contribute to violence and the devastating impact it has on our community. i also know that we need to talk and work together to develop creative strategies to address these challenges. i will leave our resources and public policy efforts are better spent to make sure that we have enough officers in our district

station to attend neighborhood meetings that are riding on unique and walking the corridors. we also want to increase our support to the organization that supports the department in the community. and they are on the front lines working with those that are most likely to be victims of crimes such as the community response network and the community ambassadors program as well as the healing circle partners. there is a need to increase efforts and resources through anonymous buyback programs. we also need more targeted resources where these acts of violence are occurring. and personally committed to working with the mayor, the chief of police, and the community to support the effort to develop new and creative strategies that do not infringe on our residents constitutional rights.

and the rest, i submit. supervisor chu: i will be brief. a number of items i will submit but the most important is having to do with the health service system package that comes forward for the 40,000 members of the health service system at all the benefits that go along with it. there will be a significant change in the way that we provide health insurance, so i wanted to mention that quickly. as we talk about pension reform and other things, -- >> supervisor kim? president chiu? president chiu: today, i'm introducing a package of

legislation cosponsoring with the mayor related to san francisco international airport. the appropriations request of $502 million include a project related to the airfield, where field support, runway safety areas, parking improvements, terminal 3, and a new air traffic control tower. this request would generate approximately 3000 jobs over e last five years. the five-year capital plan, the authorization for a bond sale and the proposed supplemental appropriation in june of this year. the resolution are companion pieces to allow for the

appropriations to spend money and the authorization to issue a debt, which is backed by airport revenues and will have no impact on the general fund but will allow 7 it is to invest in one of our most important resources and support future growth, create jobs, and additional revenue. the rest of the items i will submit. >> i won to add a couple of points if i may. i want to add my name to the letter that was presented to the mayor. the thing about what has been proposed or at least has been floated as something that san francisco could pursue is that it goes against the concept of community policing that we as a city have been talking about for so long. at the heart of community policing is this idea that the police department and officers are the most effective when they have a relationship with the

community, which means they have the trust of the community. this policy would undermine that trust. it is for that reason that it is shocking that something like this would be floated for anything that could even be thought of because it would completely go against the very concept of community policing that the board of supervisors and every mayor and tell my knowledge has been pushing for. that is an important point to make, he can't be for stop and frisk and at the same time support the concept of community policing. the second point is that necessarily, the implementation would lead to racial profiling. we have gone on record of boycotting an entire state because they passed a law that would lead to racial profiling. it would be completely inconsistent for us having

boycotted, and i think it is unfortunate that this was raised as a possibility because it goes against everything we believe the rest, i submit. supervisor mar: i wanted to also

thank supervisor cohen for bringing the resolution forward there was a spirited town hall last night with about 350 college student, the locations to be determined. the office is at 350 rhode island.

most of us now that the sentences and have the connection because they have either attended class is there or they have family members or close friends that have. for families and communities, it is a lifeline to a better life. the law enforcement agencies, the various city departments and our neighborhoods. i am pleased that the california county supervisors' association and others have advocated successfully to have a better

formula that allocates away more money and many more millions of dollars into the criminal justice program to help keep people out of incarceration and into community-based programs. as of october 1, 2011, it required individuals in state prison for nonviolent and on sex offender felony offenses to be released to community supervision. and under the responsibility of the adult probation department. and also representatives from the district attorney, the department of public health, the police department, human services agency will provide an overview of the new policy. i will ask people to join us for this important hearing on thursday. the rest, i will submit. supervisor avalos: colleagues, i want to also thank the

supervisor for resolution against this policy. i will be opposed to that. is important to note that she is bringing this forward in her district, like parts of my district experiencing a great deal of gun violence. i think that our response is something that needs to be much greater than what could be proposed by the mayor. our response needs to be about building relationships. and initiating a process where the police are able to stop anyone who they believe could be carrying a weapon would definitely hamper the ability to create relationships between the community and the police. i wanted to underscore those comments. my district has experienced an increase in gun-related

homicides. besides the homicides we have had, we have had the house murders. in a small area, we have had nine homicides in the neighborhood and we need to figure out what the response is, as a city. i will be introducing a hearing request and co-sponsored by supervisor -- supervisor cohen, looking at how to have a citywide response involving the police, the department of public health on how we can actually develop a community policing program that will serve the neighborhoods in the southern and southeastern sector of san francisco. i am hoping to have that hearing before the break even 19 or the 24.

i look forward to working with supervisor cohen on that. >> mr. president, 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 comment generally within the subject matter jurisdiction of the board. if a member of the public would like the document to be displayed on the overhead projector, clearly states such. president chiu: we will have different public comment periods about rank choice voting,

historic preservation appeal, trans they appeal, and the 800 presidio appeal. if you are here to speak on those matters, wait until the appropriate time. other than that, let's hear from our first speaker. >> thank-you, supervisors. i handed in a letter that was supposed to be distributed. last week, i discussed the big fraud which was the failure to disclose the use of public resources to support public fund-raising. the bigger fraud is the fraud that works. the public-private partnerships depend upon secrecy in the act of subversion of democracy. the bigger fraud are the facts that remain hidden. 11 years of reports are required to be submitted to the state attorney general to see if the friends of the library have had an income of $40 million.

we have also shown that incredible disclosures or administrative code, those 11 years, friends of the library gained $4.9 million for any purpose. when the friends of the library appeared regarding a memorandum of understanding back in 2000, the disclosures show that france acted as a fiscal agent for outside groups and the vast majority who were taking credit for grants or requests over which they had no discretion. since the friends is barely getting 10% of expenditures, the likelihood is that none of the money and originated from the friends. when the friends of the library were allowed to proceed without agreement from the city, this is the information that they were allowed to conceal. and they have gotten away with it for all these years.

there is no secret that a lack of accountability is where they get their money. nobody knows how unaccountable they really are. it is still the lies that cost more than the money. thank you. president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon, a board of supervisors. and hello to my friend andrew, who is watching. ♪ loosened up and there was life sheriff mirkarimi will survive it is the eye of the city tiger and we are not going to give up the fight moving up, the sheriff will

best language in racist, chauvinist political economy, when a body moves with a nasty sphere of fascism. emotions reading text that beam, p-h-e-m-e independence. this reading given two minutes. president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i am the executive director of the library users association. i am pleased to say the library has now discovered it is subject to the california art preservation act, and has formally sent a letter, dated june 29, to the sister of the muralist, williams, who is his

executor, and under the law is to be given written notice of the planned removal, so that she can arrange to have its save by removing it or herself removing it. there was a passionate believer in keeping all three sites of the branch library merrill, which the library and the city want to point out. it features working women, children, the u.n. at symbol, and history, all of which will be gone from the planned replacement. that was originally part of the community process that supervisor campos set up jointly in a letter with the mayor, and which we have had serious problems with. when we tried to find agendas, minutes, public meeting announcements, or recorded

votes, we found none. when we asked for the supervisor pedophile, we got hundreds of pages that looked like this -- supervisor's mural file, we got hundreds of pages that looked like this, blacked out, in violation of the sunshine ordinance. it appears there was a two- tiered system. the folks who were cherry pick four key meetings and those who were not. those who heard earlier about wordings for the agreement that was ultimately signed, and those who did not. >> -- president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon. i come before you today because of the increased homicide rate we are now facing in our city.

as a mother whose child was murdered in the western addition, which remains unsolved, we are concerned about homicide. tomorrow, on the steps of city hall, we will stand with a mother who lost her son, sean everett wilson, last year on july 11. that was in my neighborhood, and this murder is unsolved. take time out of your schedule and stand with us to support this mother and all of us who have lost our children to senseless violence. we have had 11 homicides in the city of san francisco in the month of june. that is too many. also, we are glad to hear of the resolution that supervisor malia cohen and our police chief have put together. we thank you for what you are doing. keep the job going.

we want to tell our mayor to and the stop and frisk policy, and to put his energy and solutions to the unsolved murders and violence plaguing san francisco. we also would like to invite you to our viewing circle meeting on thursday, july 12, from 7 to 9:00 p.m., paradise baptist church, city and county of san francisco. thank you for your attention. president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> i am here to address the issues raised by the resolution. i am with the stop incarceration network, a national network attempting to stop the mass incarceration of black and latino youth across the country. we feel this is, as supervisor

cohen presented in her resolution, something that needs to be opposed by people for justice. i think people here are familiar with michele alexander's book, the new jim crow, which outlines the attacks going on against black and latino youth in this country, the 2.4 million youths that are incarcerated right now. it is way beyond the percentages of white. as far as what has happened in new york city, i think it is one out of a youth -- eight youth. nine out of 10 of the people charged with anything have not been released, as far as a stop and frisk. very few people have charges against them. if it took someone on the street

and did that, you would have the same thing. this is also the anniversary of the killing of kenneth hardy. -- kenneth harding. why was he stopped in the first place? he was stopped because of stop and frisk. it was not named that, but that policy is going on right now in the mission district and the bayview, without it being officially a policy. we need to not make this policy official. it is already going on. there are actions happening this weekend in relationship to the anniversary of kenneth harding, including a call for muni to shut down on monday. >> i just wanted to say, after the events of the past week, i want to incur to those of you who speak for the mayor that i think it is an excellent time that any time there is a safety threat against the people of san
