a teacher and for a school in bernal heights but the specifics the connections to the neighborhood other than living in the neighborhood do you do any other teaching or educating. >> informally i help u.s. out that sometimes. >> in what. >> in the excelsior and actually help out quite a bit with my sons classes thank you catch up everything tomorrow i guess. >> thank you supervisor eric mar i was going to mention 3 decades of writing transit there is a disability person in the household the two pta memberships and involvement but especially kind of the riding of the use of that station and riding of muni is important you

know that important part to this advisory committee and wanting to make the station for a liveable community no one else for those ryder's but some ways improve the neighborhood is i - appreciate that in your approach to make it a brt choice being a teacher is one of the hardest things being a parent and teacher is equally hard i have nothing but proposes to give to you for teaching middle schoolers and having children tremendous for people within our city thank you for wanting to serve on this body. >> thank you sxhavr i echo those one of the things cory want to clarify our city attorney is not here the

requirements for seat 43 person must represent students and faculty and other schools isn't neighborhood served by the balboa park station i want to clarify whether the qualifications with met in this case given that the gentleman is a teacher in bernal heights i know you live in the area but again, i want to clarify whether this retirement is met i don't know if mr. clerk or call the city attorney's fice. >> i'll refer to the balboa park station and this qualification is met. >> this kwfks is met well, that clarifies things at this time oh, supervisor cowen. >> i'm going to not be supporting you today largely because you've not done our

adolescence to understand the focus of the cac and the time commitment i'm refrain from supporting you for the seat for i recognition you're the only applicant but i'd like for you to do our due diligence so your better informed taking on tuesday. >> supervisor mar. >> yeah. if you were appoint you will be conceding gwen that was involved but i'd like to move that we approve you for the vacant seat 4 i appreciate the enthusiasm and the different experiences to the seat i will move we appoint brent for seat 4. >> we'll do that after public comment and hearing from the other applicants thank you so at this time any other

applicants want to come forward thank you. >> hello supervisor mar and supervisor cowen i'm louis sorry i don't speak i observe i work for ocean avenue association and i'm well aware and going to the meetings to barn cac for a while and go to the balboa reservoirs cac i live in the area and a native san franciscan my family's home across the street from the city college tennis courts i moved 3 blocks away from the bart station i take the balboa bart that's my main mode of transportation so much easier i take the muni depending on where i'm going in the city

the reason why api i've been going to the meeting meeting members and dan weaver is my executive director a small business program manager and born and raised - the the reason why you get a group of people different backwards closets arises but out of that is opportunity to learn if one another and also to solve problems i believe that's it for now. >> supervisor mar. >> i'm reading seat 2 a bart rider. >> can you talk about your bart. >> it is the most convenient way to get around in san francisco it is faster muni and

like the civic center if i'm going to powell i take bart and not worry about parking the tickets are $70 and convenient near my home no big deal. >> supervisor cowen what do you think about the new bart seats. >> i grew up and tell people in 5 i remembered muni bart and how bad it was so it is getting a lot better i may not witness but i take my family balboa bart station is the busiest it is like a transient hub but you can i believe that getting to bart the geneva carbarn is a big thing they're

going to be developing housing i building there is so much potential but like some issues with how m line how it tremendous or dumps the pedestrians out into the street and they have to jay what can i'm well aware of that and that's it. >> i guess my final question what high school. >> burdening academic high school where wilson they used to be - >> some of us still call that wilson. >> i do call it wilson that was a great year you have two school conflicts but great people. >> thank you supervisor mar. >> just a question so supervisor avalos and i and the justice authority divided divided the area it is very, very dangerous in some key spots i'm wondering if you can talk a

little bit about safety and the dangers of the are areas. >> as i said where the ended the line it dumps people on the street and plus if you're walking if city college towards balboa bart station the onramp to daily city cars sdwoo stop for pedestrians they have people jaywalking and people cross in the balboa bart station towards ocean people jaywalk and walk along the tracks because the way how - to a 28020th century to downtown to ocean avenue the cars don't stop for pedestrians and how an off ramp from 50 miles and sometimes don't see the people that's why a lot of

people jaywalk and go the near itself intersection and moving through the k so they move from one side to the next yeah. >> thank you, very much. >> all right. any other applicants that are here i don't think so unless our city attorney john gibner, deputy city attorney wants to apply opening it up for public comment seeing none, public comment is closed another so again, a cough of other applicants for seat 7 i couldn't tell if anyone had background in land use or housing group that are representing based on their applications to at this time i'm not prepared to move forward with seat 7. >> supervisor cowen.

>> actually, i'm in agreement with you once you review the applications not compelling evidence that will lead us to believe that they satisfy the basic requirements for the seat for seat 7. >> okay. and at this time sir, have you gone to any meeting have are they having quorum issues. >> at this time i actually came into this meeting occurring with supervisor cowen for the seat 4 position but given that we believe or at least per the clerk the requirement is met for seat 4 i'm willing to send forth brent only because the cac means a lot to supervisor campos and have a quorum present so i

really hope if we appoint you sir, you truly understand the issues more deeply how the community structure works and how to contribute to this advisory committee so at this time i don't know if we have a motion from the committee members on the appointments. >> i'll move we appoint louis to seat 2 and brent to seat 4. >> why not take them separately a motion on louis seat 2 with a positive recommendation and for brent i'll second that motion a roll call vote. >> on the motion so seat 4. >> supervisor mar supervisor cowen no supervisor tang

we have two i's with supervisor cowen in decency this is confirmed congratulations and again we'll reserve seat 4 for another time so thank you and mr. clerk, any other business before us? >> there's no further business. >> madam chair. >> all right. the meeting is adjourned thank you
