1:02 am
clues. the audio recording that you heard from the previous speaker which took place at a meeting of the library commission was not only ugly and unlawful and resulted in a letter from the ethics commission to the mayor recommending that jewel gomez president of the library commission be sacked, it also was a form of bullying that actually intimidated folks at that meeting into silence. now i am not saying this on my own. but this came from public testimony at a sunshine ordinance task force meeting the concerned incident of something and member of the public unlawfully.
1:03 am
there were at least two but people who said, one of home at least, no comment was made at that meeting. the person said she had not made a comment because she felt intimidated. another person who had been there said he felt that the purpose of her outburst was to intimidate others into silence. i hope that you will listen to these clues about bad things happening. thank you. >> president chiu:== >> by name is carolyn == keeping up the new poetic tradition, violence again. violence again boston, after newton,

against the harmful exposure to chemical toxins in the minutes of skywriting cases of autism, and asthma, sbr chrome contains unregulated harmful chemicals, many found on the prop 65 list of cancer-causing materials .today to make more of the synthetic products are scheduled in san francisco. despite my ineptitude, and must continue to speak out for the children. it is not too late to do what i think would be a courageous act and deeply reconsider the installation of sbr chrome and involve pediatric medicine regarding the key relative exposure to carcinogens which is lacking today. the use of this material is currently being challenged . in the california supreme court
1:07 am
last month two fundamental supports are being challenged in washington dc; when you choose to recognize the toxicity of this material you can simply remove it; what cannot be done is to extract the metals, chemicals and carcinogens from the bodies and nervous systems of the children were being exposed yesterday, today and tomorrow. >> president chiu, can you hear me? >> yes we can. >> my name is j kennedy. i come today in this time of budgetary planning

1:10 am
we were all elected by third of residents. i asked that this be rescinded and that the residents have preference and selecting who they want to serve on cac. i also surf the mayor's task force. we have never allowed anyone to come up in our community and dictate to us, when robert kennedy came to our community 1968 , to find out what we wanted in housing he asked the young people in the community , what do we want. we demand a voice in the
1:11 am
community; . would not allow city hall or anyone else and dictate to our residents thank you very much and i want to thank london breed for being one of those persons on the redevelopment commission that brought the police station down and sixth street and many other things that she has done as a commissioner and anyone who would run for election or anyone else should participate in the community organizations. >> president chiu: thank you very much. next speaker. >> tom gilberty, (sounds like) south beach marina apartments. a little repeat. i have no title, no claim to fame, not a head of any major organization.

the bayview apartments open up 25 years ago. i moved in in december, 24 years ago, 10 months later we had the little earthquake of '89. i don't want what happened in my neighborhood to continue to happen in other neighborhoods, basically unregulated rent and noise. so with that let's go to the overhead angle back to our global birds' nest village; it's going to be in stockton street. the inspiration for that is like an tower, why not? we have four hours that we want to build, an imminent domain,
1:13 am
very doable. what you won't see in the environmental impact reports, where the noise is going. where the noise is going, you have ventilation systems, this is going to be the end, dumped off the side, over here you will have ventilation for automobiles, the garage, and then, with 12 seconds left you also have environmental impact report of what happens when just got an emergency generator and those are emergency generators and those are all noise, and unregulated. thank you for your time. >> president chiu: thank you . next speaker. >> good afternoon supervisors. my name is thomas -- i am a resident in the dolores park,
1:14 am
it is in general regarding all of san francisco anything it bears repetition to say this is a world-class city, the most liberal city in the united states, perhaps the most liberal city in the planet earth and we need to move forward with a lot of regard for the citizens of earth, meeting people who live here not the rich little kids were running to get stone and high in dolores park. i think it is an invasion of the 18th street corridor.
