agency. it is taken way too long. there have been cost overruns. there's deep frustration in the neighborhood and frustration on my part with the way that this has been mishandled. i would normally not call a hearing%kñ?ñ?ñ on a specific project particularly one intersection. unfortunately, i feel that we need to do some real public oversight here. the way this has been handled has not been the way projects should be here in san francisco. we will be holding that oversight hearing i'm7ññ?ñ? putting in a request to the city attorney office to ensure ÷sñ?ñ?ñ?tenants receive full notice where the owners is attempting to demolish the unit.

current rules treat tenants differently depending on whether their unit is official and legal or not official and not technically legal. not=ññ?ñ? everyone gets the same notice. building owner can apply for a permit is not officialish a unit that withouthmñ?ñ?ñ? providing any notice to the people who are actually residing in that unirvñ?ñ?t. this gives tenant little time to planyñ?ñ?ñ? push back"vñ?ñ? of all the rights theyy@ñ?ñ? have. these unitsqsñ?ñ? -- these housing as we know housing our neighbors. in a recent case at the board of permit appeals existing tenants attempted to file late appeal and they were unable to do so

under the current rules. we need to change the rules. we're working with our city departments with staff at the board of permit appeals to understand what is happening there and what the city attorney. i look forward to moving forward with that legislation. >> madam president. >> it is now pass 2:30. we have one accommodation that i will be presenting today. i want to ask betty and other representatives to come forward so that i can present to you a proclamation on behalf of the city and county of san francisco. the women joining her today are part of the international league of peace and freedom. they are celebrating 100 years. i wanted to read this

meetings with jane adams as its first president. whereas the womens international league for peace and freedom continues to work to achieve through peaceful means world disarmament, full right for women, racial and economic justice and an end to all forms of violence and to establish those political, social and psychological condition which can ensure peace, freedom and justice for all. that april 28 2015 100th anniversary be designated by the city and county of san francisco's board of supervisors as womens international league for peace and freedom day in our great city. congratulations.

there. it was really sad to hear that on the news. i know that we do need rain. [singing]

[singing] i just want to say -- we need some smoke on the water. >> thank you very much. next speaker please. >> hello. my name is dr. sheldon theory. i am a founding member of the rainbow party. i have a lot of complaints. first, this agenda is a disaster. you guys ought to provide time certain for citizen comments. or put us first.

i feel disrespected to sit through introductions of minor matter. it's not fair to citizens. this agenda, somebody wants $20 million more for risk management. i doubt that is a good expenditure requesting that you hold those items. the two contract risk management items. at least until next time until our party can look at them. >> sir i'm sorry, public comment. you can't speak of items that we've already discussed. >> i'm speaking from my personal experience. the city is hounding me. i am warranted far charge of driving wrecklessly. i don't even drive. there's a warrant for me on no bail. i am on my way to the courthouse. i was into custody by judge chan

for daring to have a restraining order against me lifted. there's a deep problem in this city in many ways. today it is our legal rights. it is the legal rights of mentally ill people. it is the legal rights of black people. i was remanded to the jail for three days. i was denied medical care for my crohn's and my bipolar. i have filed 10 grievances. there has been no response boy the sheriff's office. that is correct. if any office would like to offer one of their staff to come over to me to the courthouse building to attempt to clear up the problem with restraining records, no apparent review of conduct -- >> thank you sir. next speaker please.

>> good afternoon. i would like to suggest that for next budget that the board include funding for the revival of the neighborhood arts program. which provided for people short on money. tickets to performances, workshops in the afternoon to make art projects and i would like to -- there are other characteristics that can be researched. it was several years ago that it was discontinued. but it's a very important exposure for children who otherwise don't see cultural events the symphony.

another thing they did was to bring members of the symphony to play the instruments to see which of the sound of the instruments being made. also, there could be ways to bring music back into the schools and i would also like to propose that for people of low income, the city fund for the program fund a book to be bought for the child of his own choice or her own choice in case there are children who really do never have a book of their own. that's it, thank you very much. >> thank you very much. next speaker please.

>> thank you president reed and other victims. i rise to conclude my dirge on climate change. i quote from a contributor on reddit. the subject is climate change and sea level rise. i quote a common example you'll see in the news is palm island glacier. this is the thing that have the giant crack in it that nasa was losing over around a year ago. it eventually collapses. i recommend you don't have any children if you have not had any yet. because that is more than likely when the s will start to hit the fan at sea levels start really

rise after that. more fun can be added if the greenland ice sheet collapses and suddenly jacks up sea level which then forces the western and arctic ice sheet to collapse. end quote. in all disclosure i could find nothing else from this contributor which implies a1@ñ?ñ?ñ? certain troubling making behavior or.zñ?ñ?ñ it's a real professional -- for specifics i refer -- i refer you to the credibility of avalanches. thank you. >> next speaker please. >> good afternoon. a few week ago i read something

here about a homeless mother and her child set aside. today i lick to say something about homeless men. you'll meet many like them upon the busy streets. those that live within the pass that sorrow plays all parts living death all have left a man with broken heart. you have no right to be the judge to criticize and condemn. these men with broken hearts. you never walked in that man's

shoes, or saw things through his eyes or stood and watch what helpless hands while the heart inside you dies. life sometimes can be so cruel that a heart will pray for death. no pain with every breath. to help your brother along the road no matter where he starts for the god made you made them too. these men with broken hearts. i like to add all lives matter. these people too and i want to compliment mayor lee for the efforts they've been putting into trying to solve the homeless problem. thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker please. >> good afternoon. i'm founder of neighbors developing where we've been saying yes in my backyard to sustainable development since 2011. i was in these chambers back in

early march. i heard scott sanchez from the planning department say that the only way to get enforcements from other short term rentals is with a subpoena. what i do and i'm faced with an issue is i want to find out what is the public pulse on this issue. through neighbors developing -- i did a survey and 96 people took it citywide. i was asking what do you think about these two things that david campos proposed. let's go ahead and sure that other short term platforms are verifying the registration code from the city. we need to be able to do that. that can be in three months. we need to set a date so that is

it's on the short term platform. the great majority of those 96 people strongly agreed with that sentiment. they also strongly agreed the great majority that we should be getting the data from other short term platforms in order to be able to ensuring they're complying. i went to the planning commission here. i was there from almost seven hours. i heard a lot of these chairs and hosts. i felt they were trying to make sure it's affordable for them too. they didn't want invasion of their privacy with sharing that info. i talked on them one on one, they all agreed that it was okay to share the addresses and numbers. i think there's misinformation

being planted around what kind of information we're seeking. it's not an invasion of privacy it's just the address and number of nights. thanks. >> thank you very much. next speaker please. >> on march 3rd, i stood up for the archbishop. one of you made a state that this chambers is in desperate need of mental health service. i'm wondering is that because the two lesbians cannot produce life or two male homosexuals cannot produce comment. >> this is not comment but not public question and answer.

it's public comment. you can comment the items you want to comment on for two minutes. there won't be a question and answer session. >> archbishop salvador helped form proposition 8. i think god for that. although i'm a protestant. he's a catholic. god says have you not read that which he made them at the beginning. he made the male and female. said for this cause, what therefore god has joined together lot not man put us asunder. jesus said moses because the hardness of our heart suffered you to put away your wives. from the beginning it was not so. i say to you, who so ever shall
