>> i have a video. >> from rubber, those little black pellets, that are used in chrome -- that are used in art ificial and soccer fields. [inaudible] she does wonder if it's the field and the crumb rubber in it. she points out goal keepers spend a lot of time right here on the ground, diving for balls, blocking shots and ingesting these dots. >> i lived in this stuff. i was in it for hours. i wonder could that have been the cause.

>> [inaudible] i don't know what it is, but i think there's something in those black dots. >> goal keeper was diagnosed with non hodkins. her daughter, austin everett died a year-and-a-half ago. by the time she lost her second battle to cancer, june was raising questions about the use of crumb rubber on soccer fieldings. >> i feel there is a strong correlation with the tur. . >> in 2008 did not include chemicals or other toxic metals beyond led. tires do contain metals and chemicals that have been ruled too toxic. the average athletic field uses

27,000 tires. former goalie, who has twice beaten cancer, have been keeping his own list. we're talking about 27 players with cancer. >> it's keep i. >> thank you very much. next speaker. >> good afternoon board of supervisors. i have some pictures here. i live in district six and they're doing a street paving on gary street, which is a main thorough fair. this is what the street looks like as they're putting the tarps down for where the heavy vehicles are traveling. this is what it looked like before they put the red tarps down. here's another picture what it looks like, the cracks in the

street in the bus zone. these red tarps that they're putting down. if you can look at the crack, they're laying the flat tarp over it and the cracks are pushing through. here's the disturbing one. this is what you putting down for the cracks. as you can see the crack is there, they're getting ready to lay the tarp over it. mayor lee has come out as you were speaking on line 29. it's $40 million. see where this money is going? this is going through all of san francisco and it doesn't look good. someone need to talk to the supervisor that's paving the roads. there's six guys working. don't make sense that one of them can't speak up and say what's going on. the whole street needs to be redone and repaved and lay the

tarps down. >> good afternoon. this is something a little bit different. why is hollywood afraid of this man? an american legend and musical icon, who 60 years after his death is still remembered by most of us for his music. he wrote and sang about humanity, sadness, hopes and dreams and their everyday lives in rural americans to urban american and had dozens of hits. thousands of records from ballrooms to country churches and yet hollywood, who likes to think of itself as the center of american culture, still ignores this american legend.

other than making a cheap grade b movie, a short time map to his death, which is no longer in circulation. yet they haven't missed a beat when it comes to murder and mayhem. on second thought, maybe we shouldn't encourage them into making a block buster movie about this american. look at what they did with the hank williams movie. they took all the magic out of that legend. and by the way, he could sing and had a voice. thank you for listening. >> i'd like to put this up on sfgov tv.

>> i would like to talk about the articles in sacramento b about how dangerous this new bridge is. on the other hand i'd like to talk about salvation. now, jesus said, fear them not speaking to his disciples, the christians. there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed and hid that shall not be known, but i tell you in darkness that light in which you hear in the ear, that preach upon the house tops and fear not them which killed the body, but are not able to kill the soul, but rather fear him which is able to destroy

both soul and body and hell are not too spare a sold for a penny. in one of them shall not fall on the ground without your father, but the very hairs of your head are all numbered. fear yee not therefore, you're of more value than many sparrows, whosoever shall confess me before men. him, i shall confess also before my father. [inaudible] him, will i also deny before my father which is in heaven. think not that i have come to send peace on earth. i came not to send peace, but a swortd. sword. not the type of sword ma mohammed brings. a man's foes should be they of his own household. he that loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of

me. >> thank you. next speaker. >> thank you mr. president, members of the [inaudible] present. my name is christopher doll, i live in soma. i rise to continue my auto bigraphical kech. sketch. i was in politics, i was actually quite socialable in spite of being seriously overweight. when i graduated i weighed 260 pounds, that's 90 pounds more than my 172 of yesterday. claremont was a good school, still is. it managed to offer a class in art appreciation, an overview of art over time. i certainly achieved impact of great works of art and still

feel a small despair that i could never execute anything like that. as a final we each gave a lecture on some area of interest. my own offering was on the naked male form in egyptian, greek and roman sculpture, the many pictures. i was doing my personal analytical best to figure out why i was interested at all in the naked male forms, whether in marble or in flesh because as a student manager i handed out towels to the wrestling team. it took me a while, but i eventually got there. i would draw your attention in this month of pride and this anniversary month of [inaudible] and all the others who might share his opinions. he saw fit to expose those defects when he characterized white people as to privileged to be able to understand the effects of discrimination without explanation, given the

explanation of obviously anti died right alongside the jews, this was transparently [inaudible]. thank you. >> thank you, next speaker. >> my name is milo and i'm past president of san francisco beautiful. , here today to thank the board for continuing the item regarding proposed legal settlement in the matter of contest promotions, here to formally register our objection, or opposition to reaching settlement as proposed with contest promotions. we'll leave in the record a letter from our attorney that outlines our objections. to reach such a settlement would be an act beyond the

board of supervisors' legal power. the board of supervisors cannot in a series of voter approved propositions, all of which ban new or additional billboards, general advertising signs in the city. the transparent purpose of the proposed settlement agreement is to evade the city laws banning new billboards. laws that were created through direct democracy and specifically -- and i know you've been patient in listening to this lecture time and again, but not once but four times, our voters have said no new billboards in san francisco. it would violate proposition g, which prohibits any new billboards on private property. also in the record there was a letter that was sent from one sign operator, kevin hicks of diverse media displays. this was sent to city attorney,

herrera stating whatever privileges contest promotions may obtain through this agreement, they'll expect the same. we're saying this proposed settlement will own open up a flood gate of similar lawsuits, not put the matter to rest. in the record i'm placing articles from the san francisco chronicle, one dated august 31, 2011. ad push may be awkward for mayor lee -- thank you very much for your time. if i may leave this with the clerk's office. >> yes, the deputy will be there to pick it up in just a moment. >> next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, president chiu and members of the board of supervisors. i was hoping that i wouldn't be speaking, but after hearing mr. hanky speak i thought i'd stand

up. that litigation was fought like heck by the city attorney for five years and then entered into settlement negotiations, which took about a year-and-a-half and finally you have the city attorney and the planning department recommending that settlement. i'm sure they'll be talking to you about the merits and answering your questions. i'll be here and outside. i don't know what the propriety is of asking me questions, but i'd invite you to call my office and we'll be glad to answer. the time has come to settle the case. it will not open the flood gates. we wrote a letter to you last week in response to the letter you received from the attorney commenting on san francisco's sign law and i don't need to put anything more in the record. thank you. >> thank you, next speaker.

>> stand by, please. i stayed up late last night. my name's charles. >> please speak into the microphone directly. >> i was down here earlier today trying to make this work. i just load my two minute video on -- didn't work earlier. i was assured by mr. ken that it would work when i came back. it's not working so i may have to come back or wing it. it's a two minute film that i produced for the board. i stayed up 'til 1:00. i was down here earlier, there's no way i can get it down now because it's a minute and 59 seconds so i'd like to come next week and i guess i'll

just use my time to enter my objection, which i stated earlier in your offices that this set up isn't fair to the public. i came down here early today with my video. i stayed up 'til 1 o'clock last night. it's pretty important to me. i think it's pretty slick. i think you'll enjoy watching my video rather than listening to me talk. i was assured that it was playing fine. i'm not getting my movie played though so i object to this and i would appreciate if the board -- in my last 30 seconds i was down here this morning, what i was told by it and it and by the media services department both is that this machine is neither of their responsibility so i'm falling through the cracks here folks. i stayed up

late making a movie. i thought it would express to you about how i feel about what's happened to san francisco. >> if you want to contact someone at our board of supervisors staff we can make sure it properly displays. thank you. >> good afternoon supervisors. >> i didn't come here today for public comment. i came to hear the discussion on the next item on your agenda, but i need to say it's very troubling to see most supervisors leave at the beginning of public comment. i don't think you're sending a good message to your constituents that you want to get the public participation, so i would suggest to you -- i do want to thank supervisors

tang and yee and supervisor avalos for sitting during the entire public comment. to the others, i suggest you show more respect to your constituents and perhaps you'd get more than 20% turn out at the next election. thank you. >> any other public comment. seeing none, general public comment is closed. with that, why don't we go to our closed session item. >> item 31 is the conference with the city attorney on existing litigation, a motion that the board of supervisors convened in closed session on june 10, 2014 regarding existing litigation with contest promotions filed on september 22, 2009. >> thank you colleagues. with that motion we'll go into closed session.

any objection to that? without objection, we will go into closed session. i could ask members of the public if you could please step outside the chamber doors. we will reopen the doors when closed session is completed.
