continuance. >> i understand that there were four meetings -- i'm sorry. >> you had your opportunity to speak in public -- >> this is serious. this needs to be cleared up somehow. >> so in response to my question, it seems that you are saying that a deputy city attorney did advise the sunshine task force that there could be a risk with a task meeting without a disabled member serving on that task force, is that correct? >> that is correct. our offices have general advice with -- when the seats aren't filled, the bodies can continue to meet and do their business and the board's obligation is to make reasonable efforts to fill all the seats. at the time that the task forces

attorney gave the advice that you're referring to, i believe there was an open seat but no disabled member on the task force and that is why the task force opted not to meet during that period until the board appointed mr. occa. >> again, i think that this confirms the point, right, that be have at some point the office of the city attorney advising this task force if they meet, they would be in violation and what i'm saying is that i think that we have to be as cautious as we can and that we have to follow not only the letter, but also the spirit of the law and i think the spirit of what's in the letter and what the voters wanted was to make sure that a member of the disabled community was represented. at this point, we're talking about an applicant who is

qualified, bruce wolf who happens to be a member of that community, and so that's why i think it's important for us to move forward with his application and approve that nomination -- that application today. thank you. >> so let's have a role call. >> do you want to role call vote on continuing seat 11 or filling. speaker: just a motion. >> on the motion to continue seat 11. >> campus. >> no. >> tang. >> aye. >> yee. >> aye. >> we have two aye and one no. >> motion passes. so are we finished. >> mr. chair, before going forward we need to waive the residency requirement for alley. >> we need a waiver requirement for -- >> seat number three. >> just one, right? >> so moved. >> for winston. any

objections? seeing none, motion passes. >> and so for the original motion, that will be recommended as a committee report. >> yes. >> and then the second duplicated file to the call of the chair or a date certain. >> let's do -- we'll have it within the next two meetings. >> but it will be continued to the call of the chair. >> yes. >> madam clerk, any other items? >> that concludes our business for today. >> meeting adjourned.

as a male to do so. as a young woman she traveled to europe and married howard the caller for the san francisco stock exchange he passed away in 11885 he saw the fire department respond to telegraph hill and helped them get up the hill this was in the days when everything was outsourced to private enterprise but she get them up first and treated asia mascot of the firefighters and after her return in the 63 made an honoree of the engine company and rode

along where the firefighters or which were in parade she tend to prove this relationship with firefighting throughout her life. she died in 1929 and left 1/3rd of the estate to 76 to be used for the purpose of adding to the beauty of the city the city adduced r use to see to build the tower on itself hill and it is the statute of 3 firefighters down in washington square so let's here it for this beautiful lady (clapping.) thank you >> thank you do you want to say a few words. >> all of that is true and even if you're not a firefighter your pretty cute but really thank you, thank you so much for this beautiful restoration of my gift

money that lilly left to do the right thing in san francisco and that altercation keeps going with the president of our board of supervisors david chiu (clapping.) good morning, everyone. the sun is shining on telegraph hill i want to thank you for being part of this wonderful, wonderful event and let me start by saying i think for every person here we all have our personal contentions with telegraph hill my coit tower 22 years ago i visited san francisco and climbed up the stairs and looked at the bay and moved to the city a few years ago 18 years ago every sunday i ran up here to the top of coit tower this is a special place
