10:03 pm
and do it before this thing goes ding [laughter] >> thank you. next speaker. good afternoon. dr. espinola jackson. that rang right on time. i'd like to say i've come before you many a times requesting the same thing, but you don't do anything about it. you know, there are laws on the books like hud, section 3 of the hud guidelines. but this city has ignored and continues, and you all supervisors, did continue not following the laws of the city and county of san francisco. you know, it really hurts me to come here because i know the health department, the city planning, land use, you the supervisors, are not going to pay any attention to the fact
10:04 pm
that my people are dying and continue to die at hunters point. how many of you live in hunters point? how many of you are homeowners in hunters point on this commission? not one. haven't had one, never had one. do you know why we raise the salaries for you supervisors to over $100,000? that was because the supervisors at that time were getting 38,000, but they were lawyers and they couldn't attend the meetings all the time. we wanted to make sure that you lawyers would be at the meeting and be there on time to represent the constituents. you all are not representing the constituents. you take longer vacations. you're going to be off on monday. you don't even show up on tuesday. you know, you take more time off than regular people on regular jobs with all the money that you're making, it's a disgrace. you don't even deserve it. i'm going to see if we can go back and bring the money back down. >> thank you. next speaker.
10:05 pm
if you all don't pay attention when dr. espinola speaks and those of y'all who have been in this auguste chamber, we are asking the city that has a legacy like dr. espinola come here regularly that when you all have a hearing and make us sit down there for 4, 5 hours so that she gets two minutes and then when she speaks at her two minutes, they challenge her. disrespecting her. i'm watching it. i'm watching, watching like a hawk. now, today dr. espinola and myself were at a meeting at the successor agency. i think they're not called the successor agency. they're called the commission to the infrastructure and whatever. they are related.
10:06 pm
last night nbc had a beautiful video on how to [speaker not understood] botched the clean up of the shipyard. we have people here so-called representatives, they don't give a rat's ass about doing right. but they do care about allowing the developers to fill the campaign coffers. and i say this because if you do not represent the people really and you have a few who represent the people really then it's on you. but anyone that does not represent the poor, does not represent those who cannot defend themselves, shame on them. now, some of you are aspiring to go to sacramento and i wish y'all all the best. but i wish the very best to
10:07 pm
those representatives that really served our youth, our poor and those [inaudible]. thank you very much. good afternoon, president chiu, board of supervisors. i'm going to be really quick. i'm going to read a letter from my mother's physician. my mother is a current resident university of [speaker not understood]. they announced their closure two week ago and it's due to close july the 10th. and i want to quickly read a letter from her physician. "i have shared the news of your [speaker not understood] ucsf doctors who are [speaker not understood] to hear this from others as well. some thoughts. moving to a new situation is often disruptive to seniors especially with cognitive impairment leading to further loss of independence, developing coping mechanisms surviving in the current living situation is a manner about their disabilities is observed as moving to a new situation
10:08 pm
they lose these well worn patterns they and their staff developed in maximizing opinions. i'm going to summarize in had i personal experience the best long-term care i've seen at a nursing home facility is at the va medical center in san francisco. it's almost perfect, but it's also exceptionally expensive, as much of them are. university [speaker not understood] lady's home is not too far from that standard. this is from a ucsf medical doctor of gerontology. i think [speaker not understood] a lot less resources, university ladies home has done an exceptional job at what they do. please, i'm begging you do not close this university. we need your support, okay, and the mayor's support to keep this 125-year-old building sustained and economically -- okay, i'm going to -- my name
10:09 pm
is sandra parker. my mother is alice parker. she lived here for three years now. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. good afternoon. my name is eddy chung. my mother is also a resident of university ladies home. she's lived there 3-1/2 years. she likes it very much. most of -- all of her daily tasks are taken care of by the staff who are wonderful, exemplary people, but low-income people which represents the exact population that jane kim lippe who endowed university ladies home sought to protect, [speaker not understood] the staff is
10:10 pm
wonderful. however, the board seems to have operated independently and surprising residents and staff alike with the announcement they were going to close and that it what for financial reasons. but by throwing up their hands and saying nothing more can be done, they are [speaker not understood] the lives of our seniors. this is 100 year old legacy which is an important part of san francisco's history, this is done in isolation without input from the constituency and i'm hoping that the board of supervisors will assist us in keeping this open because it
10:11 pm
would be inconceivable for the -- for this to happen. and i'm fighting for my mother's life because i know that she would not survive a change a sandra was reading 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]
10:12 pm
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 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
10:13 pm
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 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
10:14 pm
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 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
10:15 pm
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. >> 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
10:16 pm
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 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

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. 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 can make it better.

10:22 pm
nonprofits which are in violation of administrative code 12 l. which requires a minimum of two designated public board of 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 ~.
