he board i've been talking about the christen and other media for the biggest in the world most of their >> sir unfortunately, your time - >> if you don't have a lot of money in the big media you don't get our slant in there i think you know what i'm talking about this was quite something. >> thank you dr. tompkins your afforded time on the first round this portion of public comment is intended for those who are not able to speak during that time. >> thank you for your courtesy and respect for any colleagues we had commissioner richards you spoke about in terms of the cooperation of city ordinances we have a some reason meeting my

other colleagues had to attend on the shipyard with the mayors citizens advisory committee commission talking about the same issue that's why i stated to represent their opinion i'll start with that that immediately their concern of how thing were handed in this matter is a bait and swach when the eir was presented to the commission and the public in general we participated in about a mechanic don't guess and that as some of our staff members presented to you as i talked about also in my earlier presentation an addendum is handled out as to it is a missing table in this case i'm asking the commissions as you go through our recognition you clearly define what is an addendum and what is not

this case for candle stick was a game changing methodology this was imposed and slide in my opinion and the communities opinion as a misrepresentation it avoided the krblg last year process and we were left out of if i believe in the participatory democracy we asked for a inclusionary please review your laws, and, secondly, in the experience we tried to present to your department and staff there is a disconnect between the - i spoke to the commissioners getting to know i as human beings. >> what the public is preserved you as and how we were treated

by the staff when we or went there a total disrespect the developers are on one plateau and the citizens pushed to the side we asked for concrete questions can i please get some help on the projector i don't think i broke it thank you i killed it on that - on this sheet the questions we asked for example i wanted to sit down with larry nefarious focuses and engineers on the outer line the. >> sir unfortunately, our 3

minutes is up. >> finish our thought and leave our material with us. >> i appreciate it one it is impossible and given the good grateful there's a hill behind it no way an explosion or implosion can took place that can't happen all i'm asking is good science be utilized in this it was shameful if this was submitted to the commission. >> thank you very much you can leave it with us if you were at my class at uc berkley i'll flung you for putting a paper in like this thank you for

indulging us. >> >> next speaker, please. >> commissioners this is actually, the item i came to speak only candle stick i'm prefer by sacrificing tech this might be under ocii but your staff works for you for you and they're under our direction so you can have an impact on this hopefully, you got my e-mail that i sent on the 18th that lays anti reasons this is demolition should not be an implosion demolition and if you didn't get that wave our hand i'm making sure you get it but i think you've probably gotten it and i want to make clear the main point of the conversation the implosion demolition has been studied extensive and

creates dust that can't be mitigated in a study in 2005 of a demolition of a hogs hospital in canada the results that came through clearly said you can read it in the report implosion shouldn't be done in metropolitan he areas the fact we've had any in the city and county of san francisco definitely should not be one in the bayview hunters point where we have something like the highest asthma rates in children in the country it is absolutely unconsciousable this would be allowed you need to consider whether your staff can call for a supplemental environmental impact report the other things in the study the dust can travel 20 to thirty ca merits it

contract travel and not acceptable to allow lamar to do an implosion larry in charge got fined for creating a dust problem in their previous work it didn't makes sense it implosion hires less workers so finally i'll ask you to do what you can do as a commission streld schedule this have a discussion and pass a resolution that directs our staff in the city and county of san francisco in metropolitan area that implosion demolitions are not acceptable and staff shouldn't be working with others agencies

that promote them your staff can do what they want they get direction from you. >> (calling names). >> they had to leave i'm steve the unit public workers for action this is quite interesting this planning commission is lowering the explosion of the stadium in san francisco in the black community and latino community and apparently you have no edging the planning director maybe son-in-law t is responsibly it is the planning commission for san francisco this is not ferguson they didn't explode the cathedral hotel you think it had something to do with racism what they're doing in san francisco, of course, the

people in hunters point are not that important to the planning commission and lamar is running san francisco that's what's going on here you don't give a dam about the people of hunters point that's why you're allowing the blowing up of candle stick that threatens the lives of people 50 percent of the children have asthma wyoming wasn't do you think it has it is not part of the planning department here in san francisco basically this is it was changed and supposed to be a mechanic demolition they changed to lamar you didn't ask why they're changing the plans were hey they concerned about the health aspects was the planning commission or director concerned

about that hell, no because their run by the developers by lamar the people of san francisco has to know this is a raciest action this is a too well example of how san francisco is run for the rich and the developers and run for the mayor of san francisco who wants his billionaire friends to allow the poor to be kicked out i don't believe you don't have responsibility for it you do have responsibility to say no, we're not going to allow this we're going to have the director explain this why their exploding and blowing up the candle stick why they're helping lamar to

bloip this this is the commission commissions point of view. >> i want to ask something secretary allen if we would be sitting here i'm interested in what people have to see it is ultimately the way it is said where we have a decorum and basically something that also protects us to deal with the stress and the reason we're sitting here i ask the public please respect there's a mature respect even if you don't like where we do it requires you to speak to us in a tone and general donor it resembles what everyone said if 1:30 to now.

>> good evening rose high on a hill it calls to me son again even though the office of community developing investment and infrastructure oversees the implosion at candle stick i'm concerned buyout environmental impact report that went out for candle stick didn't have this and there's a write up after my concern i live on the totally opposite end of candle stick i'm over by the golden gate bridge p there could be other issues this can happen in my neighborhood in the city if i it's easy to implode candle stick park it is easy and didn't cost as much the bay bridge they left the frame and suddenly the birds came and

starting nesting but for whatever reason having those all over the place it will be get more and more krautd crowded and have more people including the air we don't have mitigation containment of tuft we do for transit because we'll have fliegs systems this is a different picture i caution everyone i don't think implosions are that great, thank you. >> good evening i know you guys find enjoyment watching the trees i've been

reading and it mentions the statistic and the reasons in philadelphia that less than 3 percent of the total accomodation of food in farmer's markets what is the anti rate of farmer's markets consumption and the agricultural or locally resources foods and how about the rad integrated indoors in 2012 prop 37 fails san francisco, however, voted 60 to 69 percent of organicisms the vote on preoccupation 37 against it supposed the pepsi and coke and depotent and funding from others organic fund and the bay areas

>> hello, welcome to the meet your district supervisor. i'm nona melkonian and we're here with supervisor katy tang for supervisor 4 which includes central and outer sunset. supervisor tang was appointed by mayor ed lee to serve as district 4 representative replacing previous supervisor carmen chu after she was appointed assessor reporter that same month. before her appointment she served as legislative aide to supervisor chiu. today you'll get to know her and the issues facing the city. welcome, supervisor. thank you for join using us. >> thank you for having me. >> let's start with a little about your background. where you grew up, went to school and what kind of jobs you had in the past. >> sure, i grew up in the sunset district. still live there. spent about 20 years living in the sunset district and just am so proud to be able to represent the district that i grew up in and where my parents

still live. i had gone through the public education system and went to neighborhood schools throughout the sunset district. so, had gone to francis scott key elementary school, hoover middle school, lowell high school and am just so proud to be able to come back full circle to support a lot of those schools that i went to and be part of that community in a very integral way. >> so, you spent most of your life in san francisco. why did you choose to live in the city? >> well, first of all, my parents decided to move us to the sunset district because they really wanted my brother and i to have a really good and safe r growing up. there were a lot of children and families in the sunset district and i think they felt like it would be the best environment for us to grow up. so, we ended up staying out there and fell in love with it and have a lot of pride after especially working for the sunset district as the electricity i have aide to supervisor chiu for over five years. and working with -- very

intimately with a lot of community members, the merchants, our local residents who have, you know, interest in things such as public safety or public transportation, our school communities, our parks and play grounds, just really been such a wonderful experience working with them. so, i just really enjoyed that work experience as well as my own experience growing up there. >> how has your experience as aide to supervisor chiu prepared you for the board of supervisors? >> i think that i probably don't have a learning curve on having worked in the district so long and having grown up there. i think that it's been really beneficial knowing who to go to to ask certain questions, or, you know, learning how to read pieces of legislation, for example, knowing what the issues are that the city has faced. i think that those have all been really helpful experiences during this transition. >> what motivated you to get involved in politics? >> i've always wanted to be

involved in whichever community i'm in. for example, what ix in school i was in student government and, so, working in city hall was one of my first jobs, actually, out of college. and, so, i have been doing -- i have been working at city hall for over six years now and i just feel very much pride in working for the city that i live in. >> where do you place yourself on the political spectrum, are you progressive, centrist, or more on the conservative side? >> i think i'm probably more of a moderate person. i think that our district, again, lots of families and children, seniors, immigrant community, and i think that we tend to be more classified as, you know, fiscally responsible, i would say. and, again, having my experience in working for the mayor's budget office, for example, prior to working for the board of supervisors, i think that gave me a really great background in terms of how the city works, how the city's budget is put together. and those really -- that experience has really

influenced my decision-making process. >> and speaking of the city's budget, the city just enacted a two-year budget and it seems the city is always dealing with complicated issues including whether or not to raise taxes and fees. how will you approach these tough choices? >> i think that when we talk about raising fees or taxes, we always have to come at it from a very balanced approach. we have a lot of homeownerses, we have a lot of tenants in the city. and, so, again balance is really key. i think we also have to approach the budget and some tough fiscal issues looking at the city-wide budget as a whole and not just looking at specific sectors or issue areas that we real have i to look at the city's financial standing as a whole for the long term. that's really important and that's definitely what drives a lot of my decision-making process. and i think it's also tougher in san francisco because we really are held to a very high standard where we have to balance the budget every single fiscal year. we cannot run into a deficit in the new fiscal year. we cannot print more money.

we are held to a high standard by our charter and, so, i think that's why these tough decisions are made every year rent. >> what other issues do you feel are facing san francisco? >> i think for san francisco and also elsewhere, one of the biggest issues right now is really how do we ~ attract economic development and spur job creation. and those are two things that really go hand in hand and really is what makes the city vibrant and a place where people want to live and can afford to live. and i think that keeping those city-wide goals in mind, to really want to try to also make sure that locally we support our small businesses and all merchants, for example, give economic benefits and help create jobs as well. >> what are your thoughts on the city's economic development? do you feel we're on the right track? >> i think we're on a very exciting time right now in san francisco where we have a lot of energy in terms of businesses and especially the tech industry wanting to locate in san francisco and that's

something that we really haven't seen as much in the past after the dot-com boom. and, so, we are in a very exciting time and we really see a transformation going on in our city because of that. >> what would you like to see change about the city's approach to developing its economy? >> i think that really depends on the changing times. and there isn't sort of one solution for the entire city. it real i depends on kind of what the dynamics are going on with the economy as a whole in the region. not just looking at san francisco, but really as a regional body. >> sometimes district issues are different than zvi issues. what do you feel are some of the biggest issues facing your district? ~ city >> i think because we have a lot of children, families, seniors in our district, they care a lot about your quality of life issues, right. and it's the reason why people choose to live there. they want to make sure that your streets are repaved, that our potholes are filled, that public transportation works for you, that, you know, your parks and play grounds are safe for your children to play in,

students can go to local schools. i think that those are all important issues facing district 4 and will continue to. >> how have you balanced the needs of your district versus the needs of the city as a whole? >> i think that as a district supervisor, we play that balancing act every single day in our jobs. and we respond to all of the constituent needs, whether they doll us, whether they e-mail us or talk to us in person about a problem, we try to sort of bridge the resources that are in the city and help connect them with whichever department it is they might need to be connected with to resolve their issue. ~ but also at the same time we are city-wide representatives and we vote on legislation every week that impact everyone in the entire city. i think that when we take those votes, for example, we keep our district interests in mind and how they might want us to best represent them on city-wide issues. >> you mentioned transportation and muni earlier. what do you see about transportation for your constituents, is there enough needed service? >> i think especially given the

fact the sunset district is located so far from the central portion of the city, that transportation is difficult for them. and as you know, there are some issues with switch backs for example on muni and folks feeling like, you know, they don't have adequate service down to the end of the line. so, i have worked with mta and we're trying to figure out solutions to address that. but i think overall our residents really just want to make sure that they can get from where they need to go from the sunset district or back home via public transportation. >> what about parking and traffic? >> i think that the sunset district typically has a little bit more pricing than some other districts. there are always pedestrian safety issues we have to watch out for. our district has boulevard, we have sunset boulevard. we were also have 19th avenue and great highway. and, so, those are actually state highways that -- except for sunset boulevard, but the three are state highways that run through our district. and, so, when you have that, we

have seen some fatalities along some of those corridors and, so, we work very closely with the state agency, our local agencies to see what sort of pedestrian improvements can be made to help make it more safe for feev l. so, for example, maybe it means that we install more pedestrian countdown signals or install sidewalk build outs so that we can shorten the distance for pedestrians to cross the streets. or lowering of speed limits. so, all of those things we try to look at comprehensively throughout the district to people can travel safely whether you're a pedestrian, cyclist or driver. >> speaking of safety, what are your thoughts on how the city is dealing with crime, especially in your district and how do you think the police department is doing? >> we work very closely with our local police station which is terraville police station. we have community groups in the sunset. they have formed out of

response to concern of public safety in the neighborhood and i think that generally speaking the sunset district has lower crime levels than many of the other parts of the city. however, because we are bordering ocean beach and golden gate park, we do have pockets of problem areas. and, so, our neighbors are the first to alert us and the police station when there are issues and the police has been very responsive to that. >> what kind of issues are you having with ocean beach or golden gate park? >> i think that because it's so far from the center of the city and because there is so much open space, we do see a lot of encampments in those areas. some neighbors express issues with safety and feeling safe in their neighborhood and, so, they have worked very closely with our terraville station to make sure they monitor those regularly. >> what are your thoughts on the city's economic development? >> so, in terms of economic development, i think our city is in a very, again, exciting time right now where we are able to attract a lot of

businesses who want to locate here in san francisco. you know, we have seen a recent wave of technology companies that have located here in our downtown core area and it's really transformed our neighborhoods. and i think that as we continue to keep drawing talent and those kind of companies that are city's economic state will continue to grow. >> speaking of growth in our city, how do you feel about the role of the warriors coming to san francisco and the plans for the new stadium? >> so, the warriors and the plan for the new stadium, you know, the project approvals and the environmental review report will actually have to go through the board of supervisors. so, i'll have to make my decision then. but the prospect of something like that would be very exciting for the city, i think, not only as an economic engine but also in terms of san francisco's cultural history. >> to a degree, do you feel the city should subsidize the team? >> i think that negotiations are still to be sorted out and i think that all of that is in

the works. but it's something that i'll pay close attention to. >> what would you like to see change in the city's approach to developing its economy? >> you know, i think that san francisco is a very creative city and we tend to be on the cutting edge of issues, right? and i think that to that extent of our administration and our various departments such as the office of economic and work force development have always thought of creative approach he that might be new for the region to, for example, attract new businesses or, you know, other sorts of financing mechanisms. and i think that we will continue to do that in san francisco. >> well, are there any other issues that you plan to concentrate on throughout your term as supervisor? >> yes, i believe that having worked, you know, for many years in the district 4 office and now as supervisor, over time we have felt that, you know, many times we are very reactive to a lot of the problems that are presented our way and i want to really make sure that during my term i would love to do some long-term

planning for the district to make sure that we think maybe 5, 10, 15 years out and think ahead, you know, now and start the planning work and laying the foundation for things we want to do in the future. >> what are some of your ideas? >> i will be engaging in a community process where we focus on some of our key issue areas that we care a lot about in the district and working with them to kind of layout the groundwork for what we envision for our district in the future. >> we're almost out of time. but it's been great chatting with you. thank you so much for joining us today on sfgov tv's meet your supervisor. >> thank you for having me. >> we've been talking to supervisor tang from district 4. watch for the next episode of meet your district supervisor when we'll be back with another round of our 11 city supervisors. sore sfgov-tv, i'm nona melkonian. ♪ -- for
