[speaker not understood], pioneer, legend, icon, diva, and a survivor of aids for 27 years. i come to all of you because i don't want to ask for charity because i don't need it, but i'm here for the [speaker not understood] memorial campaign. we want and it's been difficult because she died on july 5th of 2011, and we've been working on a street awning for vicky

marlene at the 100 block of turk street, the harvey milk democratic club, harvey milk gbt democratic club is a sponsor and we raised over -- almost $3,000. so, we have enough money to pay for the add-on and we've been working with supervisor jane kim and [speaker not understood], but it seems like we're going back and forth, back and forth, and it just doesn't seem to be working. i decided that yesterday -- i called 911 and called the public works and they told me, well, you haven't turned in the paperwork. well, we don't know what kind of paperwork they needed. but then i called 311 and got all the information what we need. we've gone to the property owners. we sent them letters. we sent them registered mail, and we have no answer for the property owners that they're interested in this.

i don't know if they're not answering, it's okay to go with it or do we need an official yes or no on their plight. i just hope that one of you can step up and let the lgbt and the t no longer be silent. >> thank you. next speaker. thank you, mr. president. my name is christopher doll. i live on howard street and i rise to complete my remarks on the oral and intellectual deficits of the american two party system represented by the republitards and the democrats. we have before us members the party of slavery and the party of patrons. on one side we have gender slavers, debt slavers, security slavers, and petroleum slavers.

on the other side we have the patrons, the people who say they are going to take care of us, the litigation attorneys who are going to sue the bad guys and give us most of the money. the teachers are going to ask for more money to teach us how to be a success in the world as it was two semesters ago. and the nurses are going to keep us healthy -- as healthy as we can afford and imagine. what can we do? we can seek balance. we can seek a balance in our carbon usage, by accounting for that usage and accounting for the sequestration of that carbon. we can call for a new balance of calories with sweat by providing cash rewards for individual achievement of certain health values. we can seek a new balance in the benefits and burdens of

society by restoring the universal burden of public service which is to say a civil draft. thank you very much, mr. president. >> next speaker. hello. my name is dr. robert gould. i live in the castro. and for identification purposes only, i worked as a pathologist for 31 years at kaiser in san jose and i'm currently the director of health professional outreach and education for the program on reproductive health at university -- ucsf school of medicine. i'm also, however, i'm here speaking on behalf of physicians for social responsibility. i am president of the san francisco bay area chapter since 1989 and currently the president of our national organization and representing thousands of physicians both here in the bay area and nationwide. and i'm here to represent our

organization and give strong support and great thanks for the soda tax initiative that a number of you are sponsoring. i think there's been ample evidence given here today about the profound public and environmental health effects of such a measure. i also want to mention in this regard, real applause for the folks who work in the department of public health here in san francisco, for the extraordinary work in outreach they've been doing to communities about this. all of us understand that obesity and diabetes is a very complicated medical issue. there are a number of inputs into that. but i think we all recognize the department of public health and our own organization the important role sugar plays in these suites. we want to give unaloe questionvv cal support for this and gratitude and hope you pass this initiative. thank you. ~ >> thank you. next speaker.

thank you, mr. president, my name is [speaker not understood], i'm a san francisco native, born and raised here. my father and i who is disabled, we rented our current home and lived close to 20 years, and i'm here to advocate and to ask the rest of the board to do what you can to support supervisor campos in the legislation to increase the reallocation fees that tenants receive when they're being displaced. right now as you know, there is an epidemic in this city and it's alarming and it's increasing and i'm currently facing an eviction myself. and i work for a tech company. so, some people say, well, you don't understand the issues. i'd say i understand both sides of the issues. now, the reason this is important -- and i'll give you an anecdotal story -- opposing counsel for my landlord calls me wanting to negotiate and he says, you know, it's really hard for us to give you more

money when we're mandated by law to only give you $15,000. if it were higher, we would give it, but it's not so, we don't. opposing counsel for a landlord said that. in addition, the ellis act was enacted 185. it's 2014. ~ 1985 the increase in rent has gone up incredibly, exponentially. all i sd is that we find ways to mitigate the hardships that are placed on tenants, not tenants like me, but tenants who don't speak the language, who have been threatened -- sorry, to be threatened that they'll be sent out of this country. again, i just ask you to support -- work in collaboration with campos and coauthors and thank you for the time. >> next speaker. good afternoon, president chiu and supervisors. i want to sing... ♪

city sunday will never be the same the denver broncos lost the super bowl game they'll not be back again when i woke up sunday morning to watch the super bowl game and i watched it all day till it was almost dark sunday will for the denver broncos never be the same they've lost their super bowl game and i hope they'll be back again i remember sunday in the city sunshine and half time was fine sunday will never be the same they've lost their football game

and not be able to be back again sunday will never be the city same ♪ well, i finally get my vengeance on kfax. on monday the day before the world trade center fell, i called that station to tell them the trumpet would sound but they didn't give me enough time to articulate. but if you get the podcast broadcast for october 28th and fast forward about 42 minutes in, you can hear me. and it's really quite easy to determine when the sixth trumpet will sound. it may not be that easy in regards to the end of the world. but the sixth trumpet is quite easy, it really is. now, i'd like to read a portion here from john 8.

jesus said the i bear record of myself yet my record is true for i know whence i came and wither i go, but you cannot tell whence i came and wither i go. [speaker not understood] for i am not alone, but i and the father that sent me. it is also written in your law that the testimony of two men is true. i am one that bear witness of myself and the father that sent me bears witness of me. he's referring to a law in about ron am i where if somebody was guilty of murder, for instance, and, you had to have at least two witnesses that that guy was a murder error somebody was guilty of being a lesbian or a homosexual, male homosexual, you had to have two or three witnesses to confirm indeed that crime had been committed. an adulterer or a rape or something like that. but jesus here is saying that he and his father are the two witnesses. what did he he mean by that?

he meant several things by that actually. but i think primarily what he was referring to was the prophecies in the old testament. you see, john the baptist was kind of a novelty for the simple fact they had hadn't heard a prophet in 400 years. the writings of prophets ended 400 years prior and jesus was referring to the prophecies they had written down about himself. >> next speaker. good afternoon. my name is eric p. scott. i do not work for the beverage industry. i am not a shareholder in any of the companies or any of the companies that supply their ingredients. what i am is a bay area native, san francisco resident, i'm a voter. for over 20 years i've worked in district 8, but i want you to know that my supervisor does

not represent me or my beliefs, at least not on this issue. so, before you drink the kool-aid and this is mostly sugar and not something you're proposing to tax, i want to look at a couple of facts. this can of coca cola contains 39 grams of sugars. the healthy alternative, which you're not going to tax, fruit juice, 100% apple juice, 12 ounces of which contain 39 grams of sugars, exactly the same. but there are other carbohydrates as well. so, ounce for ounce there's actually 20% more calories in this apple juice than there is in this coca cola. that doesn't mean the coke is good for you. this will rot your teeth. but this is not necessarily the

healthier alternative. how many cubes of sugar are in this can? it's a trick question. the answer is zero because the sugar in the sugar cubes is sucrose and the sugar that's in that can of coke is corn syrup. cal orickally they're identical, metabolically they are not. this has been in our food for 30 years ~ and it's in our food because it's due to a sugar tax. [inaudible]. >> thank you very much. thank you.

either one. testing 1, 2, it's working, good. good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to black history month. i remember the first time when presiding president [speaker not understood] was there and i tried to speak on black history month, i went a minute past. can you tell me off, we didn't get a chance to know each ooh but we know each other good now. i would hope i could go on maybe 30 seconds longer representing my generation of african-american blacks and negros here in san francisco. i won't go through the history but let me give you the one on one going on currently right now in our citith. right now you're talking about sugar in a can, but i don't see ~ no one, not even my black peers talking about us that are in a state of emergency. we have two supervisors. i don't see them together talking about that. and i'm not up here to point the finger at my queens. i'm

just up here merely letting you know the state of emergency which we are in. i'm a black man. this month i'll be 60 years old. i've been coming here to city hall over 25, 30 years before most of y'all was into politics. i call it politricks right now. but the city and county -- and i'm not pointing the finger at y'all. the history shows itself we weren't here -- we weren't wanted here in the inception back in the day, 1800s. here we are 2014 with two black supervisors in the board of supervisors of san francisco. the migration, documenting it all, now we have the african-american history project that's going to come on. recently we had one of our prestigious groups talk about a threat on a boycott. and somehow they've bunn made a back deal and our black community don't even know what the hell is going on. we have our black businesses are closing down. and we've got our black young

brothers killing each other, going to jail, and our population is constantly going down. and everybody just walking around like there's a conspiracy. [inaudible]. >> thank you very much. thank you very much. thank you. next speaker. good afternoon, supervisors. i'm peter wolf hill, executive director of library users association. i'm very concerned and others are, too, with real step in the direction of the destruction of library services for the public. first of all, as i've spoken to you a number of times, the magazine section, the entire western part of the fifth floor were bound magazines a through l were kept, all of those have

been evicted, willy-nilly and placed in off-site storage where they are not available for public blousing. you have to know exactly what magazine you want. ~ browsing then request it and it's 24 hours to get it. when supervisor eric mar came to the library to fate the 30th project anniversary of [speaker not understood], that was a nice thing to do. but i wonder why supervisor mar, in light of the things we've been saying, did not bother to go to have a look at what's happening on the fifth floor where public access to magazines, including magazines that might encourage people to want to learn to read, have become unavailable in the normal way. i ask for you to send queries to the library and also ask, did you give the library more than $100 million a year in budget as a board in order that

it might destroy the easy access that people have had for decades to those bound magazines? this nurse, the library will probably approve a replacement design for the bernal heights branch library and mural. ~ thursday complete wipe out of the history and the artwork that was on that community created library and the explanation for the new mural doesn't even say what the things are the specific things you'll be able to see with bin ocularx. ~ binoculars. >> are there other members of the public that wish to speak? good afternoon, supervisors. my name is jackie bryson and happy black history week. i'm coming once again to raise the issue of my concern where

there is no eviction protection for people who are living in so-called supportive housing. the people who are in this housing are the most vulnerable members of our society here in san francisco in that they have come to this housing out of homelessness or from rehab or from the hospital and with unscrupulous landlords, of course, having unscrupulous attorneys, are able to find loop holds, meaning there isn't an eviction protection for their tenants. ~ loopholes are able to indulge in

retaliatory with impunity. i brought this up in december of [speaker not understood] the only way to fix this was working with the mayor's office of hope, put that in quotes, too, to come up with policies which would require those service providers to have an eviction protection for the tenants. and i see a lot of stuff in the newspaper about ellis acts evictions and owner move-in and things like that, some of which is within the purview of this board. a lot is only a sacramento type thing. but coming up with a no-eviction from supportive housing is something which is within your purview. and i thank you very much. >> thank you very much. are there any other members of the public that wish to speak in general public comment? if not, general public comment is now closed. [gavel]

>> madam clerk, could you read the adoption calendar? >> items 23 through 26 are being considered for immediate adoption without committee reference. single roll call vote may enact these items if a member objects a matter may be removed and considered separately. ~ >> colleagues, would anyone like to sever any of these items? supervisor campos? 24 and i'll sever item 25. and with that, madam clerk, could you call the roll on items 23 and 26? >> mr. president, supervisor cohen. >> supervisor cohen. >> thank you very much. there is an item number 23 that i'd like to sever. >> okay. why don't we take all the items in order, start with item 23, madam clerk. >> item 23 is a resolution expressing support for senate bill 837, the kindergarten readiness act. >> actually, mr. president, may i make a motion to continue this item for one week? >> colleagues, supervisor cohen would like to continue this for one week. second by supervisor breed.

without objection this item will be continued one week. [gavel] >> thank you very much. >> to february 11. >> to february 11. item 24, madam clerk. >> transgender and gender nonconforming youth and restore tim justice. ~ >> thank you. thank you very much, mr. president. i want to thank my co-sponsors of this resolution, supervisors wiener, president chiu, mar, and avalos. and i just -- i wanted to once again highlight this resolution because i think it's really important for us to put as much pressure on the district attorney involved here to not press charges against a transgender young woman whose only crime was to defend herself. and the fact that the people who were trying to attack her and go after her were students that were only suspended without any criminal charges filed against them, and that

you turn it around and actually, you know, present criminal charges against the victim who was acting in self-defense is just a travesty. and i think that we need to make sure that we are on record asking this da to exercise the discretion that district attorney's have to leave this poor transgender woman alone. she has suffered enough. thank you. >> thank you, supervisor campos. colleagues, on item number 24, can we take this without objection? same house same call, thank you. [gavel] >> the item is adopted. madam clerk, call the next item, 25. >> item 25 is a resolution urging the municipal transportation agency to implement a market on the move pilot project. >> president chiu. >> thank you, mr. chair. colleagues, we have in front of us resolution to urge the san francisco municipal transportation agency to implement and market on the

move pilot project with private vehicle diversions and other efforts to help improve our streets for transit riders, cyclists and pedestrians. this has been a several year conversation, in fact, in 2011 we unanimously approved a similar resolution to begin pilot studies of innovative transit policies on market street. and i know there have been a lot of community frustrations with the lack of progress in this area, which is why i have been asked by numerous transit advocates to move this forward. colleagues, i think we all share a vision of market street as being one of the world's greatest boulevards and i think we know that in order to get there we have to try new things, particularly as we are thinking about a completely new way of how we travel on market street. so, i do hope that you'll be able to support this and ask for your support. >> thank you. madam clerk -- can we take this item same house same call? the item is adopted without objection. [gavel] >> thank you. call the next item.

>> item 26, is a resolution urging governor brown and the state legislature to restore cuts to the medi-cal reimbursement rates. >> colleagues, can we take this item same house same call? without objection this item is approved. [gavel] >> and, madam clerk, do we have -- could you read the in memoriams. >> yes, mr. president. today's meeting will be adjourned in memory of the following beloved individuals. on behalf of supervisor farrell for the late mr. brian mcel roy. on behalf of supervisor cohen for the late mr. willie hunter payne and on behalf of the entire board of supervisors at the suggestion of supervisor wiener for the late mr. stu smith. >> and, madam clerk, is there any more business in front of the board? >> that concludes our business for today, mr. president. >> ladies and gentlemen, we are adjourned for today. [gavel] [adjourned]
