8:31 pm
particularly for end dust for a total of 14 monitors and a third party monitoring if we're getting that then he knew we're safe so it is clear we want the reporting to be done well and the monitored installed and installed properly then we know that everybody is doing their job; right? that's simple so it should be simple we shouldn't have to talk to the department of building inspection and we've spoken to stephanie we should be able to see hey lamar we need to see this stuff it is troublesome
8:32 pm
it's this much trouble. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> it's clear to me and state your name for the record would you please state your name for the record, please. >> what do you want me to do. >> state your name for the record. >> charley walker you you know it's clear to me that those board meetings are worth also number one there're any specifications with the contractor has to do but everywhere in america including los angeles richmond, sacramento wla when they work in neighborhoods where black people live they're nothing in the specification where no one needs to be here on this issue but there's no damage those white contractors come in our community and say oh hell with it that's their general attitude no punitive damage if you have the power to stop one of the
8:33 pm
contractors you have no problem because they don't want the job stopped but not fearful of that they've been working in san francisco go to chinatown you don't have that big construction job that's them building that station not one ounce of dust don't anyone exclaim i complain about and the same people doing that work over there is here it is wrong in a community where black people live this is all it is we've been confronted with lamar and every other white contractor they'll not follow the specifications and no one does anything about it because it is the general attitude oh, don't worry about them they're to die anyway, that's white people's general attitude
8:34 pm
someone needs to have the power to say stop the job stop the job one time and we'll not have the problem as long as you tell them oh, the building inspector probably bart is coming a train is coming they think your or you're crazy if you're not going to do anything about it they don't care that's their general attitude attitude. >> good morning with green action for height and environmental justice i'm here in support of retained bayview hunters point i live there and had dealings with contractors that is providing or supposedly providing the information and a at a joint meeting at golden
8:35 pm
state i requested the raw data to have it analyzed not acting as an independent third party i live there but i wanted to be able to review the information and go over it with the residents and my co-members here so we'll have a better pd and as of today i've not yet received not only none of the asbestos reading but noting no one 69 parcel reading keep in mind a lot of the parcel reading are teeny you're going to feel the effects but not going to see that you're going to going out go out there and walk around and leave you're going to have to go home and wash your eyes out or have a tremendous headache because all the dust you don't see what wear asking for monitor to be placed
8:36 pm
and allow the community that lives there that goes to the same company before we've had boxes set up that were empty and told the intishgdz inspectors were monitoring them they pat you on the back and that's great unfortunately without the reading and without us having proper way of making sure that those reading are not only correct but the monitor are using the right monitor to be used and the other instance they have asbestos monitor out through supposedly that was an g indoor monitor we don't need that kind of disruption that are more than that project and in bayview hunters point so think about the exultant that is surrounded by all the work and dust going on and request now

8:45 pm
submitted to the department of public health as also present in discussion on our concerns and written report we also sat down with the department of public health and went over the dust mitigation plan that was submitted to them by lamar on january 13, 2015 it was a copy of the document okay i'm assuming that you have a copy of this we hesitated to forward the information to you on the some of our concerns because we know there's been political pressure put on the mayor's office and people not wanting to respond some of the folks i've done research with all of a sudden can't return my calls even though they have the document the point if 1 and 19 we reviewed and went throw in
8:46 pm
detail i'll be happy to submit that for your review technology advancement. >> we went through every one of the 19 points we made our recommendations some we feel are reaccurate one of the if we can get to the technician for the overhead shot of the chart okay. i'll submittal this into the secretary for your consumption we want or went through point by point to the committee and one of the appalling aspects is affordability does affordability who does what when and who is in authority in our first meeting
8:47 pm
lamar simpleminded it and all of a sudden the chart got off bay and no one of the city staff respond we took them on that tour to face-to-face find out who is responsible for what when we called and submitted in writing our concerns we've not received it took andrew and the golden state law school to get the data and the data is partial it is incomplete here is a copy two copies i don't bring everything it would be about this big implicitly i didn't want to - this is a sample i ran a hospital as an undergrad the important thing i'm prep blood for transfusion is the chain of command that is a report typed out everyone and you have different
8:48 pm
people plus here on the signature page no signature on any of them not one you can't if you were at the hospital i cannot give you a unit of blood in any certified lab you can't issue out this report magically somehow this is done this organization meditates to be removed we can't trusted that work this is sloppy work you, you wouldn't have anyone up there not putting their name on the document it leaves open to question who did it why isn't it signed you can type anyone's name 2, 3, 4 when you do the timing and the
8:49 pm
report start look at it and it becomes the issue of timing the timing of this this is they went and covered where those monitors are placed at okay this is off la nefarious roster not something a grumpy old black man or grumpy old dr. is making up just for the fact those monitor you see on this document are not there were they say they are they're not i'll reiterate that they're not those monitors are in kajdz i'll show you a picture in a moment they can't move and walk on their own i'm not sorry the inspector needs to go and see for himself that's why we took them out there it's not age
8:50 pm
imaginary situation we're not saying that lamar is totally responsible we took them through the neighborhood i did the study in bayview and pete did the studies for the nasa we were co-volunteers and as i said earlier my speaker has stated the awe ma rates for the school we did in the 8 six 5 percent of the kids were as mask i went to school with a colleague and 85 students are and i mask and when i attended the lamar meeting i asked the promise what's the total percentage of the kids at red had a right elementary school the total are 11 percent and the first grader
8:51 pm

8:52 pm
parcel monitor dust is a trigger for asthma when i spoke to the lamar people arrogantly i'll take this to the commission and ask for changes you're not the ultimate say also let me quickly get to a main point will the latest letter we submitted this is a presentation from lamar not something i'm making up okay this would be a proper set up did black box is a pump you see
8:53 pm
to the left and that is a filter it is a black object this is a flexibility and dr. please wrap up. >> what happened at the alice griffith park go to the computer please. sir. >> maybe - >> dr. sorry no, i have to thank you your time is up. >> can i please put that one picture there's no filter on the monitor the monitor placed behind a building so we have an foirnl reduced airflow and no black filter so data we have none. >> i have to stop you dr. >> it's a false presentation to
8:54 pm
you i'll submit the information yourself review we're asking you pull the permit thank you. >> period. >> they have to comply with the law. >> thank you dr. commissioners any more public comment. >> i'll be happy to entertain questions. >> no further speakers we'll close public comment. >> no further public comment. >> commissioner walker please and commissioner mar arrest deputy director larry maybe you can answer this question so the request has been made for 7 sets of monitors in different locations that there be a map provide to u.s.s. meaning the public and dbi i guess as a compliance kind of thing so 7 sets of monitor and 7 different locations that there
8:55 pm
be a map and there be signed reports done as per the request is that different from the requirements established for the safe demolitions permit i want to see if - >> what the requirements are i supposition that we. >> i'll have to check with the 4u79 they're involved with this i'll check with the health department and responded back to you. >> i feel that's a fair request from the public of the monitoring the public knows y where they are and has assess to the report. >> commissioner walker. >> generally for the pest controls and all the mental monitor or how to measure it we rely on the health department because we're not an expert on it
8:56 pm
our inspector the only thing we regionally ask they water done did you observe the dust and comply to our request. >> it makes up but it seems like we could make sure those are reports are available i i mean that we know where the monitor are and we report that's something of we're not the experts whatever is established as the testing we should be able to make sure that is happening. >> from our inspector we look at the monitor right there but is the monitor work we don't know we know we're not the expert to make sure the reading. >> commissioner mar and commissioner melgar. >> the question is along the
8:57 pm
same line that commissioner walker raised but a little bit more direct i know that there are some things the health department is supposed probation officer to be responsible for but we have a lot more inspectors and not doing a lot of time not only open projects like this but restaurants and other places the health department hass has primary jurisdictions i'm going to be direct can we send our inspector out there not visibly go looking at the dust levels as a previous speaker said but look for the 7 monitor. >> there are - to see where the monitors are to have the contractors open up the boxes if their locked or behind a fence or whatever so we can visibly inspect there are
8:58 pm
technically working monitor in place as a followup it should come about it behoves us to interface with the other agencies that should be collecting that report this is a straightforward. >> we'll have to interface with the health department and other management we're not - we don't have control over the monitors as monitor and jurisdiction we'll will have to check with their jurisdiction and check back with i. >> sorry commissioners i have to go to commissioner mar through the chair please. i've lost control. >> norman on a demolition when the building inspector we look at the demolition to make sure they're following the sequence they're not beyond the scope of the general safety of the area some of the reports you said
8:59 pm
their trained all the demolition construction workers for the protocol of watering down and the mitigation plan that lamar did train their workers to follow the dust control plan this is something we visually do we looked at the dust if it's you know to be monitored like quality management that's not what we perform we perform the contractors the consequence of operation it's a safe environment and following the procedure. >> commissioner melgar. >> thank you. i guess my worry is look at of psa the buck with the health department because you know, i hear what you're saying about you're being there to insure the skurnz of the
9:00 pm
project i'm wondering another what point do we stop or suspend a permit if things are not done properly not enough health department inspectors i can't speak for them we know know where they stand but hallowing in the health department has not signed you know the reports or done things adequately at what point do we move forward or take action on the permits we've issued because this is a health and safety issue that effects the southeast portion of the city at what point do we do that. >> at what point. >> at what point if we're relying on another
