6:00 pm
from her letter. >> thank you. next speaker. hello, my name is christopher valenti and i'm an advocate for older adults. i helped more than 50 residents move into the university of mount ladies home. and basically the quality of care there is so good that if those people are relocated it's going to be hard to find viable options for them. i'm very familiar with the situation and the board of trustees of the university stating there is not really any viable options other than closing. however, i do know that the pacific institute which is a nonprofit that runs the [speaker not understood] community in san francisco is willing to take over management of that company or of that nonprofit and to continue to serve the needs of the current residents. the current board states that
6:01 pm
they're involve sept. ~ insolvent. but to my knowledge there is million of dollars of land equity in that building. if there was a proper management company in place there would be bank -- at least local banks in san francisco that could fund and continue the financing till they could become more financially viable. i think it's important that the board of supervisors works with the mayor's office and the community to reach out to age song and the pacific institute to discuss the potential and not allow the board of trustees to close down that building and have access to millions and million of dollars to be able to then distribute among other nonprofits in the city. and at the very least if it is closed down, the current residents that are relocated, many of which are low-income should -- they should have the right to relocation funds from
6:02 pm
any closing and distribution of fund that might otherwise be used for less noble purposes. thank you very much. >> next speaker. mr. president and member of the [speaker not understood], my name is christopher kadall, i live at 16 howard street, 16 meters above sea level. i rise to [speaker not understood]. you've all been in the city a number of years and you're all political. therefore, you should all be aware of the details of gavin newsom's career including one failed campaign for governor and one successful for him at least, campaign for lieutenant governor. you should all recall that both of these campaigns took place while he was serving, so to speak, as mayor of our beloved city ask county. once sworn into office, you should all have read the charter. you should also recall section 3.1 00 of that charter which begins the mayor shall devote his or her entire time and
6:03 pm
attention to the duties of the office. you should all recall that the same verbiage is included in those declarations of candidacy which you all have signed and which you all should have read and all of you should have read it all. you should all have read -- you should have all reached the conclusion that galavaning newsom [speaker not understood]. three of you should recall thises was brought to your attention at that time. all of you should note the video witness of this is available on the youtube channel [speaker not understood]. any of you should realize -- should have realized that giving him budget was funding treason should realize now treason is to a constitution as crime is to a law. all of you should realize you have done wrong by failing to address this issue. apparently you don't. thank you, mr. president.
6:04 pm
>> next speaker. good day, [speaker not understood], good day board of supervisors. [speaker not understood]ment i'm a nudist myself and for [speaker not understood] i went nude. and as it states by law, [speaker not understood] we're allowed to be 100% nude. now, 5:30 p.m. i was arrested and cited for being nude. and this is at powell and market, i believe, right near the trolley cars. i would like proper documentation stating that i am legally allowed to be nude in the city buildings and surrounding areas as long as there is not [speaker not understood] operated. i have been asked multiple times to be taken off of the bus for the san francisco transor patience agency and i feel that it's discrimination. so, could i have any one of you please raise your hand if i could speak to you afterwards
6:05 pm
and hopefully [speaker not understood] documentation stating that i am legally allowed to be on the san francisco municipal transportation agency buses, trains, and underground tunnels. anyone? you are disregarding your duty to the public office? okay, thank you. i'll try to set up a meeting with the mayor directly, then, since even though he is here, he is not listening or abiding by his oath of office. >> thank you very much. next speaker. tom gilberti, [speaker not understood]. born 1950, the original mickey mouse, davey crockett, roy rogers, snow white,
6:06 pm
kindergarten 1955, college degree 1972, golden age of education, a golden age. took for granted that society had passed the line somewhere around magna cart a, the declaration of independence, that we're civilized, we're beyond the river. we're all civilized. and just about three he years ago i realized that, no, every generation has to define for themselves what is civilization. mothers, daughters, parents, children, elders, what we're doing in a town in society. now the medical world we have patients and we don't need people and you can get prescriptions, there is a thing called tinitis which is constantly ringing in the ear.
6:07 pm
marginal, the prescription is marginal. the dps, department of public health, has promoted into law law 55/45 decibels which means your apartment, your house has tinitis ringing in your apartment 24 hours a day 7 days a week. from something across the street, backyard of a roof. if we were to go 55 and a loud noise on a ballot, who would vote for it versus allowing people to contain all the noise they want to make on their own property? you're politicians. you know who would vote for it. by challenging them, we n make it better. keep the noirs on everybody's [inaudible] their property. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker.
6:08 pm
hello, my name is larry juce e edmonds. i want to say [speaker not understood] to michelle edmond. she's starting to say racist stuff. [speaker not understood] a generation of all the people where i live they don't report it. so, i'm glad that she dedicated 9/11 on my birthday may 15, so i wore this dress in honor, she was the first one to wear a black and white dress on the view ~. i went to the millennium million man march. i voted rainbow, pom-pom, [speaker not understood]. i want to read this. some terms and resistance, to gain control over my life, to tell the world my story, to stop lying, to be honest with
6:09 pm
myself, accept who i am, feed my real feelings, feel my real feeling, feel my pain forgive myself and forgive others. practice rebirth and new life, live my spirituality, support and love my brothers and sisters. god is trying to [speaker not understood]. i learned that on 20 generation the facts on [speaker not understood]. why i say that is because today we need to know ~ "our climb will be steep. we may not get there in one year or even in one term, but america, i have never been more hopeful than i have tonight that we will [inaudible]. i promise you we as a people will get there." i want it remind people get out there and vote because when i went to sacramento, tom's office is a very nice office and they do have an lgbt caucus there and i want to remind people that memorial day is coming up. that's a day not only for veterans, but for all americans who make this a great country.
6:10 pm
so, make sure you get out and vote and keep our city progressive like the other countries are doing [speaker not understood]. thank you. >> thank you. are there any other members of the public that wish to speak in general public comment? please step up. well, it's now good evening, supervisors, because it's after 6 o'clock. i am here because i'm still concerned about administrative code 12 l. there are a number of nonprofits which are in violation of administrative code 12 l. which requires a minimum of two designated public board of
6:11 pm
directors meeting per year. that's only two. i still have the whistle blowers program investigating so i can't tell you which nonprofits. so, that's all i can do on that subject. on a happier note from you, i am happy to report that irs has decided to zero out my so-called federal tax account because i was able to provide the documentation they needed that showed that 2011, $50,000 income, he yes, reported to irs, i didn't do it ~. so, the irs is going to be investigating and there isn't really much more i can say on that except yea. state of california federal tax board did the same thing where
6:12 pm
the federal 2011 report triggered a tax bill for me for the state. that's been ruled out as well. it does involve nonprofits here in san francisco who received taxpayers' money and the moment i have an opportunity to let you know, i shall. thank you and have a great evening. >> thank you very much. next speaker. are there any other members of the public that wish to speak in general public comment? seeing none, general public comment is now closed.

[gavel]. >> next item. >> item 39 is a resolution extending by 55 days the prescribed time within which the planning commission may render its decision on a ordinance (file no. 140036) amending the planning code to exclude affordable housing units as defined from density calculations for projects that provide at least 20% of their units as affordable units and amending density calculations under certain scenarios; adopting findings, including environmental findings, planning code, section 302 findings, and findings of consistency with the general plan, and the eight priority policies of planning code, section 101.1. ~ conditions. >> supervisor wiener. >> i move to table. >> okay. supervisor wiener has moved to table this item. is there a eked second by supervisor cohen. colleagues, if we can take that item without objection that shall be the case.

6:17 pm
large not having the financial resources. but the idea was open up a store and at night put furniture away and listen to poetry we discovered this space and offered many possibility but they were hinder by our financial capacity. it's an untested business plan. it's not really a business. we don't operate with my kind of influx of money to make sure that people g get compensateed to work the show but an experiment to see if people can work together and maybe become a sustainable business. i feel lifetime the right person to keep the place keep moving
6:18 pm
forward i guess i want to step down and bring people in more business savvy. i believe in the space and people believe in the space i department of motor vehicles didn't know what to do and how the project was going to be. i know i believe we have the friends and the ability to bring people close in our community but didn't know how faster it was going to grow and okay. we need more this and address the sound progressively if we had to do this in one swoop this would have been shut down >> i think your explanation was great the way creativity thrives and flushes in general starts from those kinds of things i
6:19 pm
wish it was more affordable and had more inbatteries so to speak our explanation a was awesome. >> commissioner lee and we'll have the police to come up. >> i understand when you get a permit like this you have to get fire and you have to get electrical and can cost a lot of money. i'm curious so you wanted to confine your entertainment to downstairs so the floor will not be necessary and not true if cammy is correct she's permitting the buyer and we're doing the entire space right so even though entertainment is downstairs that's for the entire address >> yes. so the referrals to the electrical are the whole address.
6:20 pm
>> so he's able to do the entertainment upstairs for the whole address i was confused i thought we were doing the downstairs. >> the entertainment permits are given whether food and beverage approve so if no food and beverage upstairs it is different. >> one thing outside when from the beginning we invited everybody in the building there's residents above us to come and address their questions i have a number of people that work in the spates if there's an issue or ever been an issue they can call us. >> for me if you're going to be in compliance you have to be in compliance upstairs and downstairs and no loitering in
6:21 pm
the front. i was going to say if it wasn't for that you should have the whole building for future expansion not right away but knowing your bathrooms are upstairs you're going to have people in and out >> is it limited to judge the basement or both spaces? >> do you know. >> the 49 will be the basement and considering that it's a separate sort separate space we have two exits it be will be 49 as well it's termed 49 - >> 49 and 49 or 49 total. >> whoever can answer. >> on a evening not more than 49 people into the entire space unless there's a separation of who goes into what we're not
6:22 pm
