5:02 am
not understood], take it out. and again, i mentioned before then there is the project for greening the city. they are asking for bid and one of it is promoting the planting of trees in the city. friends of urban forest is planting the trees of the city. rpd is cutting the trees because they don't like the kind, not because they are hazardous. i don't know about the 59 trees. 21 of those are going to be removed. 21 is two-fifths. is it possible to remove the trees and give the trees to forestry and [speaker not understood].

used in infield fill such as this are being adjudicated in the superior court of the state of california. these hearings will touch upon the insufficiency and completeness of the rpd's negative declarations, the mitigation monitoring, and the reporting program as well as c-e-q-a issues regarding synthetic fields. in contrast to the reports provided by city field and the rpd, public health professionals have provided irrefutable evident to this commission. the rpd and the sponsors of this project, to show that the infill that is to be used in this project contains material that has been found by the state of california to be toxic and cancer causing. this is well posted. easily accessible information. additionally, the materials have been found to be carcinogenic [speaker not understood] international agency for research on cancer. approving this contractual agreement mere hours before its
5:05 am
health risks are being adjudicated in superior court is clearly not in the best interest of its intended users or the families of san francisco who will not only be exposed to it but will have to replace it when time comes for that. especially for the children of the adjacent shared and elementary school, hundreds of kid in their oceanview neighborhood. i believe that it is reasonable for the families of san francisco that they would best be served by not rushing through this contractual decisions till after a hearing about the fundamental materials being used. for future web searches, i'd like to insert some keywords. chemical sensitivities, [speaker not understood], childhood cancer, city fields foundation, carbon black, must go lighting, pisces incorporated, fisher builders, zinc leachate, [speaker not
