-- not just tic home owners. what we can do to support these home owners to continue to be home owners i think that is the actual issue at hand and not the fee waiver or reduction in order to be eligible for the bypass. i think there are benefits by participate nth -- in the bypass that are immediate to the reduction of the interest rate and even if the home owners state that they will never sell this unit there is nothing that will bar them from doing so. i think for a number of reasons i can't support the motion at hand today. i would like greater

discussion to determine what options there might be in ways to support home owners that are on a fixed income and want to continue to be home owners in the city. i think that's an issue that a lot of home owners are dealing with. and the date of whether ellis act evictions impacts your ability to buy pass this conversion. the lottery system. i have a question about the date we interpret as being the date. i understand the city attorneys argument and i understand the difficult position, but the city is interpreting this. but i have real issues with landlords taking advantage of the fact that they know an ordinance is coming down and giving a notice of eviction only 12 days before the ordinance goes into effect and rewarding those property owners evicting another senior

disabled resident in our city. i don't want to tribute that to the current tic owners. what is really frustrating to me about this whole tic conversation is that so many people purchase these units and not realizing what they had done and who they evicted to that ownership in the present. that is most frustrating aspects of the tic ownership which is why identify -- i have a lot of issues because i think of the history of what allows it to be available which is a lot of evictions in our city and i continue to see it today even without the hope of condominium conversion, we continue to see property owners ellis act continue to sell tic units in the market and many who are vulnerable residenting and seniors and disabled residents with no place to go. the last thing, this whole appeal

process is new to us and i they we have a couple more coming down the line. i feel very uncomfortable with the nature on how we do heals the these appeals. we have to inquire about the personal financial aspect of the appellants. i feel uncomfortable putting them in front of tv for the public. and wondering if there is some flexibility in terms of how these appeals are handled. thank you. >> supervisor campos. >> thank you, mr. president i'm not going repeat most of what's been said. the reality is that we have a very sympathetic appellant and i think that all of us here have been touched by the story and certainly want to help. and the question for me

is what's the best way to help. unfortunately, we are working in the connections of -- context of a legal way, i think there is a way to help. the hardship that is demonstrated i think it's possible to overcome because there are benefits to condominium conversion and i would hope that irrespective of what happens with this appeal that the mayor's office of housing continues to work with the appellant to figure out how we can insist if it is the need the case that this appeal is denied with maybe refinancing and ways which we can also perhaps look at even city funds to help folks who find themselves in similar situation. i don't believe that the answer is to go down a path that could really unravel the entirety of the system we

created and so, unfortunately i don't think the legal standard has been met. but i do hope that independent of that, that we also do what we can do help this individual and i think others in similar positions. thank you. >> thank you, colleagues, any additional discussion? madam clerk can you call the roll on supervisor wieners motion. >> the clerk: item 46 indicates whether it's a waiver or reduction of the fee. which one? a waiver. >> on the motion to approve item 46, table 47 and item 48. wiener aye. wean avalos no,

>> motion is to table items 46 and 48 and to move forward with item 47. >> supervisor kim has made a motion to a affirm the condominium, is there a motion and second. can we take a roll call vote taken >> supervisor wiener, no, supervisor yee, aye, supervisor avalos aye, breed aye, campos aye, chiu aye, supervisor cohen, aye, ferrel no, tang aye, >> there are 9 ayes and 2 nos. >> thank you. why don't we go

back to our unfinished business of the day and go to item 43. >> the clerk: sf >> i would like to table item 43. he's not able to be here. i move to continue item 43 >> supervisor wiener has made a motion to continue this meeting for next week. any discussion? colleagues, this item will be continued to tuesday. madam clerk what is the date? november 5, 2013. it is my intention to call that item as

early as possible in the meeting. unless there is any discussion, this item will be continued to that date. why don't we call item 44. did we call that before? >> we are on public comment, mr. president. >> okay, why don't we go to general public comment. >> the clerk: at this time the general public may comment on the items on the adoption without reference to committee calendar. public comment:at this time, members of the public may address the board on items of interest to the public that are within the subject matter jurisdiction of the board except agenda items. with respect to agenda items, your opportunity to address the board will be afforded when the item is reached in the meeting with one exception. when the agenda item has already been reviewed in a public hearing at which members of the public were allowed to testify and the board has closed the public hearing, your opportunity to address the board must be exercised during the public comment portion of the calendar. each member of the public may address the board for up to 3 minutes. if it is demonstrated that comments by the public will exceed 15 minutes, the president may continue public comment to another time during the meeting. 12341234a let's

>> let's hear from the first speaker. each speaker will have 2 minutes. >> good afternoon, members, don't accept money from the friends of the library. what must be understood that is coming into city hall is coming into belly of the beast. everything in city hall is ripping off those public assets and corporate interest. as private citizens there are barriers to keep us from learning the truth and barriers to keep us out of city hall and barriers to speaking. you don't see it on camera, the supervisors have no reservation about showing their contempt while we are talking. the virtue of democracy depends on empowering the vigilant and that is why the supervisors deserve the greatest contempt.

it's a complete reversal of accomplishment of democracy. marry antonette who is not in on the graph. most of the people in this room know that, david chiu had me arrested in september of 201 1. i have been doing this for a number of years. for those that are knew it comes as a complete shock to learn how antidemocratic and how dishonest the graph of city hall are. city hall has become a marketplace where public officials trade public assets for some benefits to their careers. what is happening in the public library is an example to every city department. every city wants a

friends group because it's the rich instead of the many. the virtues of the city's assets causes real harm to people. david chiu's decision to arrest me cost the law. >> members of the board, ray -- thus the state never intentionally confronts a man's sense intellectual or moral but on the his body. it is with superior physical strength. i was not born to be forced. i will breathe after my own fashion. let us see who is the

strongest. what you see on the screen, is a letter that is september to the san francisco bay guardian. i'm here to talk about the letter. after it was found to violate the law the statement of economic interest, the library commission wanted to help. so what they decided to do is hold a series of discussions outside the public. these were to formulate and revise and statement which demonstrated for release. this was all done illegally. violation of the sunshine ordinance and the brown act. they then next directed a city employee to release the letter on official stationery to the san francisco bay guardian and to the public. after we raised these questions, they said we'll track it after it had been used legally. today i will

discuss specifics about this letter. today i just want to ask this. did mr. herrera learn to act illegally from the library commission or vice versa. personally, i think they have been colluding so long to e evade the law it's simply second nature for now. this was done completely unlawfully violation of the brown act all of this was done with private conversations between those board members led by gomez who is already recommended for removal. >> thank you, next speaker. >> good afternoon. the libraries action go on and

compound. but the supervisors, your body is looking the other way and so you are complicity is very sad and inappropriate thing. last week i mentioned in the cover story i said it had problems that included the size of the friends group operation for example not just providing a party with a contract here or there, but in the case of sf pl raising in 12 years 2000-2012, 10s of millions of dollars which only 10 percent reached the library. specifically from 2000-2012, i noticed the friends of sf pl had spent $56

million but given the library only $5. they raised and spent $56 million but gave the library less than one 10th which is 5 million. i also said the supervisors received information from the department which was riddled with information and i will go into that further in a letter. i'm concerned about the supervisors. the only thing in 5 years that you have approved in donations from a friend is 9 days prior to the end of the fiscal year use this year approve this donation.

>> good afternoon. make this city shine. give it the dime. make it real fine and look for it not behind. maim -- make it always be kind and it's all mine always be kind. make this city shine and in mine. city be kind and it no line and it going to be hungry. free downtown. you

will be playing city politics. there is the city and she's climbing the stairway to heaven. when she gets there she knows that general hospital's programs are all closed. we are always going to be down road.

it has to be closer for dialysis. >> next speaker. good afternoon. board of supervisors, i'm here to say that tomorrow i'm attending a funeral and i noticed in bayview, in that small area there is a lot of black men dying of prostate cancer. these contractors out there have refused to an abate the dust, the rest of them. the other day there was a meeting at my home where i asked the supervisors what can be done about this contract. if they were in a

white community. they would not refuse to abate the dust. it's horrible out there in the ship yards. it's not all right. every week there are two or three black men dying from cancer. it's epidemic but no one wants to deal with it. what's confusing to me if those many white men are dying in the district or anywhere there would be something done about it. because we are black, no one wants to do anything about it. i'm bringing it to your attention, that in bayview, there are too many deaths of prostate cancer and also women having breast cancer and that's been going on for the last 5-10 years. but you won't do anything about it. i'm here to ask you can't you do anything

about these contractors because it's probably a product of the dust. would you go and see if you can do anything about the health department or do something about the high rate of cancer in that community where i live. >> supervisors, good evening. i want to give a general statement about our obligations to our homeless neighbors and public space. i don't mind speaking off the cuff, i'm here to remind the supervisors to uphold and defend the constitution of the united states and by a world of the national document the 1848 declaration. constitution, we the people of the united states in order to form a more perform

union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of a little bit to ourselves and posterity to ordain and establish this constitution for the united states of america. 1848. we hold these truths to be self evidence that all men and women are created equal by their creator with certain unaisle -- unalienable rights to the pursuit of happiness. to preserve these rights regarding the just powers from the consent of the govps governed.

it is the right of those to insist upon the institution to organize a government as to them shall seem most likely to fact their safety and happiness. >> thank you very much. >> good evening, supervisors, my name is pedro. i would like to make a recommended reading for all of you especially if you are doing anything suspicious. the make name of the book is extortion. it's been in talk shows on tv and he feels the obama administration

has manipulated the political system very unfairly especially as it applies to obama's own supporters. i recommend that you read that because it might be relevant in your own political life. secondly, there is an interesting head line that i think is far more important. chronicle has 26 people get 59.7 million over sandusky. i would like to propose how prevalent is homosexual crime especially child molestation. i think that's an important subject that is a lot more important that sugary drinks. the next head line from the chronicle as prosecutor. secret formula used for corruption. it mentioned the los angeles times

received the pulitzer prize for the bell corruption case especially all the ugly details. i would like to suggest that chronicle and examiner do the same here in san francisco and they would probably win a pulitzer prize. the other head lines as jury finds -- what a real shame the city would stab it's own firefighters on these promotional task. if you treat the firemen that way, shame on you.

>> good evening. kids are still being shot in this culture of ours. all we do is talk about shooting and killing. recent ly in chicago, a submit -- summit to talk about violence and imprisonment that will talk about the solutions but the problem will not be eliminated until we change the nature of this society. this country has always glorified the gun culture and general violence entertainment. with today's technological communication advances it is far worse until we can tackle the sacred cows

of the entertainment industry it will never end and puts violence across all races and nationality and classes of people. there are some in this culture. i lost my place. there are some in this and their obsession to keep the population highly competitive are turning the country into an crude rude culture in the world. as james car bell would say, it's the culture stupid. i'm not calling you stupid, but he said that. i think you wore me out. i'm barely staying

awake. >> thank you, next speaker. >> tom gilbert from apartment with a n a little bit of tear in my heart. neil young, if you look at that in google you will see a scar. a couple of comments, picture of the land i -- i i okay monterey. let's

drive down to -- it generates earthquakes. let's say good-bye to caramel and monterey. we can find a better way, closer to home space in this compact little city is a premium from ocean beach to candle stick park. embarcadero. the marina we do not want to encroach the embarcadero. if 8th wash ington

wash was 30 percent affordable housing and 10 percent section 8. i would not it because it encroaches embarcadero. thank you. >> thank you, next speaker? >> an carpal , resident for 20 years. i came here for the parks thing. but that's been continued. there are a few things that i left out of my communication relating to that particular topic. that can be our core problems or issues i should say that haven't been mitigated or any -- it just an appears there has been no thought about the
