leaving the lot, you see dirt uncovered. i made calls saying, there is a 24-hour delay possibility on the automatic system. air is fluid commodity. just like water. 24 hours is too late in the game and the problem is not resolved. if the committee was engaged in this, we would [indiscernible] as mrs. moore mention, we are a [indiscernible] zone. what are the other remedies and processes that should be included in this if we are one of the most effective communities in the bay area, not in the document addresses this. hospitalization rates and cardiovascular diseases the highest in san francisco and it's in direct correlation to the air district that particulates there is a

cause-and-effect relationship. we would suggest and ask that the commission that's why we wanted to be on the agenda, put a cease and desist until the dust mediation plan is put in place and have safeguards for the health of the community and not just regulations based on the condition and health outcomes. we are the sickest, we are dying therefore additional measure should be put in place. golden gate university has offered to be a facilitator and hosted a meeting with the regulators with the health department, with the air district and we'd love to have them at the table as well to resolve input a system that is adhere to because they agreed upon this on the 13th and it is not been complied with as we stand here today. it would be a masquerade being put forth last-minute effort prior to today there was

no plastic on the dirt. if you look at the pictures you will see there is nobody [indiscernible] as you see the workers lifting the dirt and moving it and excavating it and therefore particles are being dispersed in the community. right across the street is a healthcare center, a childcare center. my niece and nephew are behind the church. i have family here. this is not a dispassionate, i'm asking as a humanitarian. let's stop it and take action upon it and have a meal meaningful and protective document that protects the health and also to the health commissioners, previously when [indiscernible] was working on the shipyard before the health commission and presented a document that they would pay the health department $150

[indiscernible] is this also applied to candlestick? because it may be a conflict of interest and we may need a third-party to do an evaluation of adequate dust mediation plan. because if they are getting paid, you're asking [indiscernible] to guard the chicken coop and you don't expect chickens to come up missing? i'm sorry but as you see here, we have problems with that. we look for long-term relationship but it has to be a mutual, not a parasitical relationship. we don't need to die for progress. we need to be part of it as a team member as a marriage would be. it partnership. not a parasitical relationship or that a parent would have with a child. we need to sit down and discuss these issues that are real in our life. thank you. >> i hope you will see within

your wisdom to take action and try to put a better framework in this and a better structure so we can resolve the problems and go forward together. thank you. and allowing me to go over the time as well. >> eric brooks? marie harrison? julia barber? >> good afternoon. i have laryngitis, [indiscernible] talking to my mother on the phone and she was in the midwest. this thing moves fast or i got it over the phone. i am eric brooks, i am the sustainability chair for the same for cisco marine party and courtney local [indiscernible] our city worked on these issues

for the last decade and i have to say for the first time in 13 years that i've been working on issues in city hall, i'm pleased to be able to actually,. and acknowledge this corporation for working with the community and doing something the community asked them to do. on health issues. that is pretty impressive and they should be thanked for that. however, there are things we still need to get and stay on top of to make sure what happens is proper. first of all, it is pretty much an outrage that the staff and planning department said there was no need for supplemental environmental impact report on this and if you as an agency can hire a private contractor or a different agency in the future for this kind of work i would recommend not doing this

through the planning department because they blew it. on the issue itself, i went to back up what previous speaker said which is there is still going to be dust and that means we need very careful monitoring. the big thing we need is for you to provide a little bit of funding for actual people that live in the community that were opposed to the implosion and we need to get community representatives able to monitor on a regular basis the activities happening in this development area. i want to remind folks that back in 2008, lennar was fined $500 for violating dust control measures in regards to monitoring. decides that fine, there were many other dust mitigation

violations like not using enough water to keep the dust down so you must stay on top of this and get the community directly involved. the last thing that is important that you get on top of his making sure the workers have proper dust protection and training. we need to make sure that is done and finally, make sure you are getting on top of local contracting and local hiring. this state requires you at least in good faith to hire 50% local. we know that if you don't do local contractors, local hiring does not happen. a while back at the board of supervisors in the [indiscernible] one of those amendments does require this project and others within phase 2 to fire the local hiring

mandate law of the city which at this point is 30% and will go up higher. we need you to make sure you are aware that that is a law they have to follow but since the state says to you they want you to do 50%, what i would say is instead of making it in good faith, just say we are going to 50% on this project because that's where the san francisco law heads us anyway in a few years. please confirm we get 50% local hiring on this project. protect the workers and protect the community and involve the community members themselves in the monitoring of the dust mitigation. thank you. >> good afternoon. i'm with the green action for health and environmental justice. i happen to live there. first and

foremost, i would be remiss not to say i appreciate the fact that lennar pulled their implosion plan. gave the community a great deal of justice in that one instance and i appreciate that. it only shows me that it doesn't always have to be about, we should not have to go as far as we went however this is a perfect opportunity for you to step in and make sure to ensure a community that has been designated by not only the air district but the epa and you name it as a care community. we have been overbearing amount of particulate matter, toxic matter in our community and our community suffers greatly. i have one of those children that is one of the sufferers. our community needs to have input on this dust mitigation plan. it should never be a dust mitigation plan put through by

agencies that do not talk with, advise or at least hear the concerns of the community upon which this work will be done. only in san francisco have i ever seen that done, excluding the central valley. however, you have a perfect opportunity to stand toe to toe with the community and say this time, let's put our two cents then and get this done right. that's what i am asking you to do. it is no longer acceptable to comply to a regulation. most of the regulations in my view are outdated and don't deal with the real severity of the illnesses within the community. that you will be allowing them to do this work in. we need lennar to come to the table with us and sit down and allow us to help them put together a

mitigation plan. some of us are well qualified to do that. myself in working with it for years. i may not be the best apple on the tree but i know what harms my community and how to mitigate it. we worked very well with [indiscernible] doing their cleanup process to get something done and worked well. it worked and eliminated a lot of dust and particulate matter that was harming our community and our members that live directly across or on the opposite side of that area. i'm asking that lennar come to us and work with us to help us come up with a mitigation plan and please don't accept something from an agency from folks who do not talk to us. you cannot represent me if you do not talk to me. you can't tell the world what i need a what i want because you have not asked me. so i'm asking you

to ask me first. on behalf of my community. we are well qualified and know exactly what we need and want. we are willing to work alongside you guys as well as lennar to get it done. inc. you very much. i hope you do the right thing. >> my name is julia barber, i am a resident of candlestick park and the first thing i want to say is thank you to the agencies and lennar for withdrawing that permit. we are delighted to see that happen. also excited to see candlestick park come down. this is something we are all behind. also really excited to see so many residents come forward in this process and make their voices heard. cac has never seen so many people at their meetings. whole neighborhood

association has never seen so many people at our meetings and people came out and made their voices heard in the two primary things they talked about was local hiring and dust control. as you all know and have heard, the bayview is an air carrier zone. you can go to an elementary school and find more than 85% of the kids there have asthma. people are sick. there are a lot of illness going around in the last thing we need is more particular matter in the air. we need to be very careful with the air in my neighborhood. people are ill. we need the community to remain involved, it's essential that the community is a part of this process and a someone was talking earlier about what happened at hunters point shipyard with no proper control on the dust, the whistleblower in that case was a man in his

30s who is in a hospital with cancer. we do not need things to go that way. it does not need to get to that point. we need the community involved upfront and we need to be able to make sure the regulations are being followed. there needs to be real substantial teeth behind what people can do and they find out the regulations are not being followed. i want to let you know that we are here, we are easy to find, [indiscernible] is a great place to start and eight established part of the community. we need to be part of this process. we need to make sure that when residents have confirmed [indiscernible] there are answers and actions taken on the concerns. thank you very much. >> [indiscernible] >> good afternoon. i am

spokesperson for visitation alliance and long-time resident in district 10. on the evening of january 3, i came across a facebook posting that alerted me about this project. i was astounded because the majority of people were not aware of the decision for the implosion. i contacted the media and thanked them for coming on january 5 at the meeting. when shirley asked over 100 residents what they thought about the preference, all of the hands shot up for the mechanical demolition rather than implosion. rightfully so because of the huge when the factor and the fact that we have a high respiratory problem in our district so my question is why has the supervisor city

departments and developers not provided a timely language appropriate and direct outreach to diverse residents? had it not been for the persistence and vigilance of [indiscernible] i would not have known about this project or the decision to do that. for the $6 billion project to move forward, we want to make sure there should be transparency, responsibility, accountability to all the residents so our residents can provide ongoing input into the project. please do not continue to post everything online and consider that as an outreach because as you know, in district 10, the highest population asian-pacific islanders, many of them are limited

english-speaking so this is not an acceptable means. they advertise that nobody knows. please find a more direct way to reach the people so we can be involved in the process. we want our district to prosper but it has to be done right. thank you. >> [indiscernible] long-time resident of bayview. i was hoping dr. ray [indiscernible] would have spoken to you a little more time. i don't like to create definition. he is the expert. he does environmental science at uc berkeley. i was hoping there would be some dialogue would occur with him and the commissioners. i don't know if that's going to happen or not that he is the man you should be listening to as well

as us. i'm confused the dust abatement. says the department of public health controls the plan. what is it? i don't know what it is. on the other page, it states, lennar hartline to complaints including visible depths. i'm going to call lennar who is creating the problem? that does not make sense. probably there is going to be a tape machine on there. we will deal with that when we get time. i don't know if many of you have ever been fishing or done writing raps down the river but [indiscernible] hell behind candlestick is like a big rock in the river. when the wind blows on either side, it doesn't just go straight, because lennar said the most

adept time is to cause imploded but now it's taking it down mechanically is when we get westerly winds from the west side of the city to blow and a blows 30 or 40 mi./h and that won't cause us any harm. the wind is going to blow over the bay to my nieces and nephews. i invited anyone to come with me, we can ride a bike we started jamestown avenue with the wind coming out us and we have to struggle halfway up jamestown avenue behind the park and as soon as we get half way of jamestown, the wind reverses. it is blowing up over the houses. up over the schools. dust control does not mean anything to me. are you going to have automatic machines monitoring the dust? will they be located in the school? will

they be located in the housing behind it? is it going to be monitored? can i have a solar system in my house, i can get on the computer and tell me how much energy are using every day. so this is not new technology. please stop this process and get the community involved and let them be part of it. thank you. >> good afternoon. the best thing i have heard from the fact that you need to cease and desist order on what's going on. i don't know if you understand

being a commission what your responsibilities are. i have been a commission more than once. i know the mayor. you need to have what we had before. a memorandum of understanding of what's going to happen with this project. we don't have that. before anything can occur, this needs to happen. you ask commissioners, it was passed about eight years ago, where the commissioners could go out into the community and hold their meetings. you all need to come to bayview, you've never been there. i'm talking about at the time when the wind is really blowing and seeing what we see and where i live, i'd like for you to come and i have

advised you to come to my house so i can show you and you can see from where i live the work that is going on, all of the lights that are on during the night that is working out there at that shipyard. it is a disgrace. what's going to happen is there's going to be a lot of lawsuits because the too many people are dying. you saw on the map where these trucks are rolling, they don't care about us in the community. they do not care about the people there. you can see that. so why don't you put today, cease and desist order for nothing to happen until we in the community are satisfied? you can do that. that you may have

to go, you can't do it, you may have to go to the mayor. tell the mayor this needs to happen. do you all meet at the mayor monday morning? >> this is a loss because when i was a commissioner, we met with the mayor and had an understanding to let him know what was going on in the community so he could be aware and i do not believe that this may or is aware of what is going on. so you need to let the mayor now that he needs to meet with you because he is supposed to be meeting with me since february of last year. it's almost february again and i want to let him know what's going on in the city. thank you. >> any other speakers?

>> oscar james, resident of [indiscernible]. i ditto everything that has been said. i commend mrs. moore, dr. thompson. dr. jackson in the other community residents who give an opinion on getting the demolition done. i also want to thank [indiscernible] for answering my calls him for having you, get lennar to change their opinions about doing the demolition. thank you for that. my whole thing is this as someone mentioned before, 50% in our community, we have a memorandum of

understanding that was signed by all of the unions in 1970 [indiscernible] that 50% of all construction or 100% has 50% community residents and 100% citywide and 35% contractors as minorities and we are here regardless of what the city has done since then, we're going to demand 50% community resident. we will stop the jobs in the other thing is our unions have supported us in our community and we support our unions. the other thing i want to say to you and to the public, hunters point has always stuck together, from the beginning from my experience when they first started [indiscernible]

[indiscernible] club in the 50s, that was the first recognition i have ever gotten about community standing together. they were homeowners, people in the projects that called and got [indiscernible] because the community suffered. since that time, the community has stuck together and when the homeowners have a problem, the residents and projects come out and support the homeowners. anything happening in our community, we want to make sure whatever, whether there is jamestown or [indiscernible] or hunters point, all of us stick together, always have and always will. we don't want anyone to separate us so when they divide and say what effect

of candlestick park only deals with jamestown, it does not. it deals with everyone at hunters point and i want you to keep that in mind and make sure when you talk about hunters point you talk about every resident out there. my grandmother was the first one to buy a home out there and it started with her being a homeowner and every homeowner out there since that time was a collective body so when you speak of one thing in our community, we all stick together. thank you very much. >> i have no further speaker cards. >> [indiscernible] nonprofit that has done work locally as well a citywide. of course we are pleased to see there is no more implosion happening at the candlestick park site itself. this is a tremendous win for local community members, labor activist who have worked hard to make sure mechanical demolition. we support all of that. the local hire components and demolition part itself as

well as making sure there are dust mitigation controls so local residents are not affected by the demolition that will happen and finally emphasizing the need for committee at the end of the day. there have been very many environmental injustices, one additional thing i would add is the power plants themselves that once existed in [indiscernible] and we are polluting on residence at hunters point. many of the same activist from that struggle here today [indiscernible] and making sure that environmental injustices do not occur means the committee needs to repeatedly happen in the future. hoping that will happen and thank you. >> commissioners, [indiscernible] a committee

liaison for labor union local to 61 and we represent 3000 men and women in the city county of san francisco and 5000 workers in the bay area. i want to thank the commission for asking the questions and hearing folks out. i think you look back historically at these hearings. [indiscernible] if you look back at the tapes and hearings a lot of folks at the commission have been responsive to everything we for today which is led us to this point and of course the staff being receptive. everyone has said we are very pleased that lennar has withdrawn this proposal. i know we are across the san francisco building and construction trades council i have to tell you it was an honor i think for many reasons for someone like myself who comes out of the community and was brought up by my bootstraps by dr. jackson and also to learn about this from community activists and one of our members

[indiscernible] who put in 30 years in our union brought this to our attention as was folks like mr. brooks and miss harris and miss moore who has been tireless on this for organized labor to have the opportunity. we voted in a special session and brought it to the council where our secretary-treasurer recommended in the strongest possible terms to each and every single affiliate of the building trades to take a stand with community environmental activist, contractors and in some ways redefined these ideas of silos that where residents environmentalist union members local contractors, we are all community. when we have the chance to do things like this, it spoke to what we are all about in terms of supporting from the ground up. the vote was unanimous
