treatment under the law. if you do nothing to prevent them, so you have violated your oaths of office. i ask for your resignation! my name is misspelled. it's h-i-l-l-i-e-r. back to you. >> president breed: media services has assured me that our speaker system is working just fine. next speaker, please? >> make no mistake, we have an emergency here pertaining to homeless people out on the street. ed lee, god bless his soul, he calculated that part of the emergency that we have on our hands is $82.2 million deficit. by the same response, ed said if we continue to roll in the

manner we're rolling, within two years, the deficit will increase to approximately $262 million. ed said to take care of the program, all departments are going to have to cut back at least 5% of the expenditures on their departments. moreover, i came up here well over several years ago and pointed out that a negative cash flow was going to take place on the grounds that high-tech companies twitter is getting a minnesota munl of $125 million a year of free money along with five other high-tech companies getting a minimum of 125 million a year of free money, which is $3.1 million. you've been rolling like this for seven years. so seven years with this amount

of money is $217 billion. how can you give this amount of free money to high-tech companies that are not homeless in the street, not suffering from a combination of mental and physical disabilities, and yet when you campaign you claim you want to take care of the homeless problem. i further move to have each and every one of you look in the mirror and ask yourself to incorporate the true and correct way to take care of the homeless problem -- >> president breed: thank you, sir, for your comments. next speaker, please? >> good evening. my name is john fitch. the purpose of this communication is to notify you as a breach that has occurred with section 13.101b.

this amendment states that in the event that a mayor died holding office that the president of the board of supervisor shall several as mayor, stipulated by the ethics, charter, makes it clear that only a qualified candidate would be deemed qualified. candidates not on record and sworn in prior to december, 2016, would not be deemed and qualified as a successor. john fitch is the only certified and qualified candidate on record since 2015. same -- i urge you to vet this

process thoroughly. as the media and overseeing agencies will have significant interest in developments relating to this matter. thank you very much. >> president breed: thank you, sir, for your comments. next speaker, please? >> hello. i was famous before this, but i was called a hero in '06. there is no avenue for me to speak how bad the city is prejudice against all homeless people and how unwilling they are to hear there's a good homeless person. how they treat me, howed about

it's affected me and how horrible these things are. i'm going to ask that you either listen to my advice and pay me like a high-paid advisor to make the city a good place again, or i will sue the city for about $50 million. i will sue you. you need to get ahold of me soon. and i can tell you all the little things i will sue you for, the prejudice, but it's -- guilt lies with the whole city. equal rights is okay, but when it comes to homeless people, it goes out the door. it's ok to street us like crap. you guys are driving cars around, you know what i'm saying? you are not all pure. it's sick. i have a real god and he rose me up to a certain height and now you guys have put me down here.

i want to be back at that height. and that includes the house that god gave me on top of twin peaks that you kicked me out of, right? i want you to get ahold of me or i will sue you for $50 million. you know pied piper, how you took my sleeping bag and you never gave it back? i will pied piper you guys. you will pay for that sleeping bag. $20. you still have that issue. when you see me with a pipe and there's children following me, you know what's going on. don't laugh. you better hide your children from me. >> president breed: thank you, sir, for your comments. next speaker, please? >> president breed, board of supervisors, i bring you greetings and happy new year from the board of directors of the san francisco african-american chamber of commerce. president breed, we're very pleased as to how you are

serving as mayor in this time of challenge here in the city. and the board of supervisors of the around american chamber of commerce has expressed that they would like to see you continue until the june elections. we're very pleased. we know that you are unquestionably competent, experienced, for this. and we wish you much success and we are in support. thank you. >> president breed: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please? >> hello, supervisors. i'm ken johnson. i'm a native san franciscan. i concur with what brother fred said and i want to say this here to the supervisors that when the

mayor was shot, supervisor feinstein took over and there was no mention of anybody taking over as mayor except the president of the board. supervisor breed has been president of the board twice. you voted her in twice, so it shows she's super qualified. plus, look at her life. i worked with london breed when she ran the cultural center. that building was horrible until she stepped in and she modified the building. her whole life has been spent working, you know to, better the city, the community. you can't have a better person as mayor as the person you have there now. so i'm -- i'm just asking the supervisors to look at the

history of the person. look at -- i mean, she could be the next president. you have a qualified person, you know, as president of the board that can step in and she's been working with mayor lee on different projects and to stop that, you are to change that up and then somebody has to learn what they was doing. but you can't stop a -- something in the middle of the stream. so i'm just saying that you have the person -- >> president breed: thank you, sir. thank you for your comments. next speaker, please? >> good afternoon, supervisors.

president breed, i'm a long time resident of the city of san francisco. grew up here. went to galileo high school and then up to the university of washington up in seattle. and i'm here to just ask the supervisors to take a look in the mirror. and stop all the silliness going on. we have a process that's been established. we have others who have transitioned to the mayor's office. and i want to see president breed transition to that position. i also want to say to the women advocates and all the things that are going on in our country today, we have no guarantee that

the person that's going to be elected will be a lady. i would like for you to just think about that. at this point in time, ladies, you have a tremendous opportunity not only to allow a woman of color but a woman to ascend to mayor of this great city of ours i want to ask you, let's stop this and do what has been done. thank you. god bless you all. >> president breed: thank you, sir, for your comments. next speaker, please? >> thank you. i'm mark d'antoni. i live in district 8, mr. sheehy's district, but i happen to do a lot of organizing in district 5 and i will say that district 5 could use

representation and we would love it if we had our representative back. right now the representative is doing three different jobs and we're concerned that the people in the district has not been able to get the attention that they deserve, especially the tenants the midtown, which is an important issue to all of you, as it is to me. thank you very much. >> president breed: thank you, sir, for your comments. next speaker, please? >> hello, board of supervisors. i'm david wu, born and raised in san francisco, in the haight, where i still live. i am here to talk about the conflict that exists with the current mayor also being a current supervisor and running a campaign at the same time. this is a great conflict.

no one person to do all those things by themselves. our current district ever supervisor before they fell into the role of acting mayor had been largely unresponsive to many core, community needs. the role of this district 5 supervisor will only exacerbate issues that need attention from a district supervisor. there must be a caretaker mayor that is put in place that will not run for mayor. and this issue needs to be resolved. thank you. >> president breed: thank you. next speaker, please? >> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is lisa aubrey. i'm a district 5 resident for nearly 30 years.

i'm also a member of the group affordable to bis, focused on the development of affordable housing in our community. we need the undivided engagement and attention of our very own distri district supervisor now. we want to engage with our supervisor to find solutions for, among other things, our growing homeless problems and to focus on the critical issue of the development of truly affordable housing sites, like the mcdonald's site. we expect and deserve a supervisor who is 100% focused on the unique challenges we're facing today. and in the coming days. it's un real eight istic to thit any single person could perform both jobs of mayor or district

supervisor. i urge you to appoint a caretaker mayor that is not run forge mayor or a sitting supervisor. >> thank you. next speaker, please? >> i'm denise sitlow. i've lived in district 5 and in san francisco almost 30 years. i will voice what lisa just said. i urge you to appoint an interim mayor because i feel like our supervisor -- we need our supervisor in our district working on crucial issues that are there. thank you. >> thank you for your comments. next speaker, please? >> board of supervisors, i'm normal daigleman, and i live in district 5. i want to urge the board of supervisors to appoint an interim mayor that will not run

in the june election. thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker, please? >> can we put this up on tv? okay. i went into ronen's office today and read this, which i believe is approximately 99% lies and . b.s., but there's one statement that i would like to talk about on page 10, which is not a lie. and i would like to rectify the slander and lies and hate that you showed against p.g.i. i have met brad dinkus, good, tolerant, christian man and you said some lying things against him. this takes about an hour and all i have is 2 minutes. we'll forget this one. read the coquran.

turkey is getting ready to pass a law to marry 9-year-old girls. mohammed married a 9-year-old girl and she had a baby at 10. in regards to pacific justice institute, when ronen gave this transgender, who he is a guy, he has a -- you have a -- you called him a her and a she, what, 10 times in 2 minutes? good to november 14's meeting, fast forward two hours and you will see the lies. you are all full of lies. god made them male and female. some females are lesbians and some are not. some males are sod sosodomites,s

what i call them. repent and believe on jesus. he would forgive you. but for the grace of god, i would go to hell. >> next speaker, please? >> no hate. no islam phobia. good afternoon, supervisors. i'm trevor martin. i'm a member of the san francisco progressive alliance, and san francisco for democracy. they say that history repeats itself, but who would have known we would find ourself in this situation once again so soon. our former mayor lee, rest his soul, was appointed as a caretaker mayor on the promise that he would not run. he backed out of that promise and he ran. and when he ran, he got the

powerful benefit of incumbency that he did not earn. and here we are again. we are will an open, fair, and transparent, democratic process. this isn't about any candidate. this is about making sure that folks start on a level playing field. all right? i have a respect, supervisor breed, but i have more respect for this city. i have more respect for the people in the city. and i have more respect for an open, fair, democratic process. i ask that the board appoint a caretaker mayor until june that is not running. also, i would like to request that the board look into setting a fixed time for public comment

during every single tuesday board meeting. folks take a lot of time to come out here. public comment is a time for folks to come in here and express their feelings and give their opinions, express their concerns. and you work for us. you should listen to us. >> thank you. next speaker, please? >> my name is steven javie. i'm a resident of san francisco since 1970. i want to talk about -- first of all, i agree with the interim caretaker mayor, versus somebody that wants to run for mayor, but i have another concern. i sometimes think of things on federal levels and the u.s. was founded on certain fundamental

principles. and perhaps biggest of all is the operation of powers. and that is something that it seemed to be muddied here. it's a very dangerous situation to blend those together. and i urge the board of supervisors not to do that. i don't think, regardless of what the charter may say, with all due respect to the city, that it would withstand a careful, judicial scrutiny. it's like the president of the united states deciding to act as a u.s. senator. so i urge you to keep that issue in mind. i'm not addressing this to any one individual person, but it's a slippery slope when he blend the separation of powers together. >> president breed: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please?

>> good afternoon, board of circumstances. i'm curtis wu. i urge you to appoint a caretaker mayor because it's fought a level playing field and i urge you to be loyal to principles, not people. the status quo is not working and we're in a pivotal time in our society and we need to break the status quo. regardless of who is interim mayor or acting mayor, even if it's someone i like or not like, doesn't matter. even though it's the charter amendment or -- it doesn't make it right just because it's the way it is now. i urge you to appoint a caretaker mayor. thank you. >> president breed: thank you for your comments. >> good afternoon, acting mayor breed and board of supervisors. i want to say, great job of dealing with the death of mayor lee. i am in favor for a caretaker

mayor. i'm a resident of district 5. resident of midtown park apartments. he know all about that, especially supervisor breed. i think that a caretaker mayor would be the best for san francisco and i've been troubled to harry reiding articles and so on and so forth, people influencing the process. we need to know it's the people's place as well as you are honored and blessed to be elected by your own constituency. so you need to understand that the people pay your salary. so i believe having a caretaker mayor is the best process. and when they do run, let's put them on an even playing field

and let the resume speak for themselves. no one should have a hand up and especially in my community where they say you need to work hard. so i never had a leg up. i worked hard. so, again, you need to grow up and have a caretaker mayor and let that individual run on their own. thank you. and thank you for the opportunity. no more outside influence. thank you. >> president breed: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> thank you to the board and president and acting mayor breed. >> president breed: pull the microphone close. >> i'm everbright, member of the lgbtq democratic club and women's march leadership team, but today i'm speaking to you as a co-chair of the san francisco progressive alliance. no one seeking the office of

mayor should be appointed before the voters get a chance to vote. we're here to support a level playing field for all candidates and fair election for all voters. incumbents have enormous advantages and it's been 15 years since san francisco has had a mayoral election without an incumbent. we've seen neighbors pushed from their homes. out of the city, where they're forgotten or on to the street where they're criminalized. after today's filing deadline, this board has the rare opportunity to appoint a take -- caretaker mayor. we call upon this board to prioritize those representing marginalized communities, especially women of color, and con conduct their process openly and honestly. put simply, to appoint any

candidate to an office they're publicly seeking before the voters are allowed to vote, is unnecessary and undemocratic. thank you. >> president breed: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please? >> hello, again. i'm anjo wu. i would like to bring the attention back to san francisco instead of talking about multimillion dollar homes in pacific heights. i've also been an advocate for single-payer in california and had the opportunity to speak with many small business owners in my neighborhood, district 1. one of the stories that stands out to me is a small business owner who has had her business in the neighborhood for 25 years and her landlord just raised her rent, tripled her rent. she had to move out of her home, out of the city and she's struggling to holding on to her

business. san francisco -- when i hear people say that san francisco is losing its soul, i wonder why our working class neighborhoods are pleading, hemorrhaging. it's working class and im pant communities that give san francisco its heart and soul. i hope that the next mayor will hit the ground running for affordable housing, rent control and dealing with the lohomeless issue. i'm asking that you appoint an interim, neutral mayor, so all candidates have the opportunity to earn the seat of office of mayor based on their merits in a fair and open process. thank you. >> president breed: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. [please stand by]

>> thank you, supervisors and acting mayor breed. we've had -- i want to talk both about issues, as well as process. we've had administration after administration who has sided with corporations instead of the people, and meanwhile, there's people that's getting pushed out of every single one of your districts. we need a mayor who's going to standup to speculators, who will standup to airbnb, and who will push for the deepest levels of affordablity in all of the housing that we build, because all of us know how desperately that's needed. and lastly, we need a caretaker

mayor because we need someone who's going to be accountable to the people. >> thank you so much for your comments. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, board of supervisors and president and acting mayor breed. my name is brandon romney. i am serving on the san francisco board of berniecrats. i am speaking today on behalf of the democratic process. with the tragic passing of ed lee, our city is in an interesting position, where incumbents have the position to run for mayor in june. i am asking that this board vote for an interim mayor who is not running for the seat. this will allow the voters the first chance in over a decade

to make their own decision on who should represent them. if the board of supervisors can spend over an hour discussing a house in a wealthy neighborhood, they can at least take that much time to discuss the caretaker mayor. >> thank you for your comments. before the next speaker, a gentle reminder, please use your fingers. next speaker, please. >> happy new year's, board of supervisors. my favorite winter holiday is kwanzaa because it's about unity, and if you could show

this. please come out on the 18th, and hopefully, acting mayor breed will be out for this rally, out in front of city hall and supporting rising african american leadership for the fillmore heritage center. secondly, one of the things that ed lee wanted to see accomplished right before his tragic passing was to get 1,000 people off of the street and into the safe, organized spaces, so i have something for you, supervisors. it's called safe organized spaces. we have a working group that is comprised of st. francis homeless's challenge facilitate are. we have downtown streets team, we have concern, we ha have encampment neighbors. and we for a fraction of what the city currently spends on dpw and sfpd could actually have a community integrated program to support safe

integrat integrates -- integrated spaces for a $9 million budget. but acting mayor breed, it's going to be challenging and it's going to be a blessing in some ways to be the incumbent in this race. but let's make sure whoever is the acting mayor, interim mayor is active in an interim budgetary process. >> thank you for your comment. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. i'm steve jones with the center for biological diversity. i'm here to speak on the next item of your agenda to oppose offshore drilling and fracking in california. i want to thank supervisor peskin for his support on this issue, as well as lee hefner

for working with our office on this issue. offshore drilling affects coastal communities and our climate. by voting this in, we'd be the 16th community to formally oppose offshore drilling in california, and the global threat it poses and our global stablity. we started this campaign at the center about six months ago, but last week as you know, president trump's put all federal waters for offshore drilling. that's everything. doing all that would -- burning all that would create about 50 gigatons of pollution. that's the equivalent of driving a million cars for a year. this is a crisis, and we're happy to present california as a unified front to oppose this.

people can register their opposition to this plan through the end of february . they can go to endangeredoceans.org to send a comment to the department of the interior, and i also urge everyone to show up and support the public action that's on february 8th in sacramento, the only hearing being held in all of the state of california to allow people to register their -- their support for our coast and their opposition to expanding offshore oil drilling. thank you. >> thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors and acting mayor breed. my name is ben becker, cochair of the san francisco berniecrats. you can assume i'm here to request we have an interim mayor who's not running for office. i don't really question the fact that all of you are working really hard, and i can

appreciate that happen it is very difficult to be a city supervisor, especially today. i can appreciate that it's very difficult to be a mayor in the city, considering what our late mayor lee went through. i don't think that it is fair to anybody to ask them to be both board president and mayor at the same time and to have them running for mayor at the same time. so as a request to the people of san francisco and to yourselves, please appoint an interim mayor who is not running for office who can just dedicate themselves to the job for six months. we can clean things up a little bit and move on from there. thank you. >> supervisor: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> my name's art persico, and i'm a san francisco resident in district two, and i am so pleased to have the opportunity to address the board of

supervisors. it's a great honor. and i really appreciate the attention that you give to your constituents when we do this because some of us had waited hours to be here, to have our little moment of being heard. so i would like to associate my remarks with those who have earlier spoken about the need for a fair process. and i would urge you, even after -- at the end of a long meeting, when it's hard to listen. it takes a super human effort to focus in, but please give us the respect of listening to us when we wait till the end of a meeting and speak. i really do hope you have a fair process. we witnessed, in the past year, the unfortunate effects of an unfair process, when a finger was on the scale, a thumb was on the scale, and the people are tired of it. i think it should start here, in san francisco, where you do

actually have the conscience and the guts to have a fair process. thank you very much. >> supervisor: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> good evening. my name is lindy park. i am a resident of city of san francisco, and i am also here with the center for biological diversity. i'm here to support the resolution that's on your agenda today that would ban all ill and gas drilling -- or that would call for a ban to all offshore oil and gas drilling and fracking. and it's very important for the city and for communities all across the country to weigh in and to speak out against offshore fracking and drilling

because as someone just mentioned before, the trump administration is poised to open up almost all of our coastal waters to offshore drilling. and this is something that our oceans and our climate cannot afford. it's simply too dirty and too dangerous. the epa allows 9 billion gallons of frack waste waters and fracking chemicals to be dumped into our oceans every year. those chemicals are toxic to our wildlife and to human health. there have been too many instances where spills have ruined our coast lines, have ruined economies. and finally, our climate cannot afford more drilling. it can't afford more areas to

be opened up to oil and gas development. we're already standing on the edge of a cliff in terms of our climate. we need to be phasing out oil and gas development -- oil and gas development, not opening up new areas for oil and gas development. so i very much appreciate your consideration -- >> supervisor: thank you for your comments. thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. my name is winnie porter. i spent 40 years as a classroom teacher in san francisco public schools, and mr. yee, i don't know if you remember, but we talked together at hawthorne elementary years ago. >> supervisor yee: i do. >> i would like to take this opportunity to take every single supervisor that was respectful, that was seated, and that listened to those of us who were here to talk. as a teacher, i always taught my children to be respectful and to be attentive listeners.

i am shocked at some of the behaviors that i've seen here today, laughing and carrying on, walking around with your coffee cup. i'm appalled. i'm appalled. i would not expect that or allow that from my students, let alone people that i voted for. >> supervisor: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> good evening. my name is shaliqua chandler, ambassador sahalaquia chandler. i'm coming up my condolences to former mayor, ed lee. i felt he was a wonderful man, i felt he was a man who truly cared about this community. however, at the same time i just want to address issues that i do see.

my son was murdered november -- january 9, 2015. i want you to know the status of that case. it was just offered with eric flemings, he's now the new judge of san francisco. however what he had to do was give up my son's case and all his other cases, so i was just informed that two months going into trial that now i have no attorney for my son and the four other boys. so unfortunately, katie steinle has been to trial, and one of her family stated that even though the immigrant was being sent back, so millions and millions of dollars are being donated to her fund. here, my son was murdered and the four boys seven months before hers and we're still

pending. no one is really concerned about what we as african american women are going through. my other frent's son was just shot to death by oakland police department. it's been going on and on and on, but see, this is my issue. you know, we have an african american woman what o's in a position to make change. you have voted her in twice as president, and now it's a problem. with dianne feinstein, she helped to seat this president of the board of supervisors, and she was also able to get into the seat of the mayor, so i want to know what is the problem? i have no problem with speaking up concerning the injustices. no one has taken a stand of us mothers being murdered in san francisco and all over -- >> supervisor: thank you for your comments. thank you, miss aquia. miss aquia, your time is

concluded. [ inaudible ] >> supervisor: thank you, miss aquia. miss aquia, we try to give everyone the same amount of time to testify. [ inaudible ] >> supervisor: miss aquia, we appreciate your comments. thank you, miss aquia. thank you for your comments. before otto speaks, are there any other members of the public who would like to address the board during general public comment. >> can i get two minutes? >> supervisor: please proceed. >> my name's otto. i live nearby here, and i just got off the buses, and i heard the recording on the bus, please stand clear, the doors are opening. and it seems to me, january is the month of doors. they let me in the building,

and another crazy guy down there, participatory democracy. i would just echo what the lady was saying about offshore drilling and maybe even go a little bit further. i've said this before. if we're about trying to get off a carbon economy, what we're doing in this city in san francisco, it wouldn't look like this. i have to tell you, i lack a vocabulary to even talk about how far off we are. thank you. >> supervisor: thank you for your comments. sir, are you addressing the board for general public comment? >> howdy. i just got back from illinois. what i like about the way this meeting is ran, the mayor is sitting with the board of

supervisors. the mayor isn't hiding out or going across town, so whatever you need to do to amend that, i would appreciate it. we need the mayor with the board of supervisors, to be there with them while they're moving the city somewhere. i guess jeff kozcinsky is talking about his 20 years legislation to build some housing. i mean, do you really expect to put someone in a navigation center for the rest of their lives or just bounce them between navigation center to street? i mean, if the housing isn't there, then, you just build navigation centers for them, and they're going to live in the navigation center to

five -- indefinitely like they are in some of the shelters? some of the shelters, people are staying two years. but i guess considering the healing that's coming up regarding the navigation centers, the navigation centers are literally being sued because they did not -- they're violating the standards of care. the city and county of san francisco has standards of care, and they just -- it seems like the city attorney is trying to fight very hard and excessively to say that they are not liable for the contract or the standards of care. we're going back to that paradigm that people are staying in the tents because when they go to the shelter system, they get abused. the women are phrase of getting rained, so they're refusing to go to the shelter system, because they get abused.

>> supervisor: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. again, if there are any members of the public to address the board in general comment, now is your opportunity. please proceed, sir. >> i'm kevin ortiz, born and raised district 9 resident, current district six resident. i'm just here -- i wasn't actually going to speak, but i'm here in support of a fair democratic process. i would be against what is currently going on right now if this was supervisor kim, this was supervisor ronen. we need to have a fair democratic process that goes along with this. this is not about identity, this is about fair process. right now, san francisco has seven out of ten homeless people that once had a roof over their heads, one of the worst income inequalities in the world. the average latino family in the district making $25,000 a year, yet we have white people making 150 k a year.

we can house all of these people, but we need to have a fair process, and right now there's a lot of trauma that goes on with the residents of san francisco because they don't feel they can trust that democratic process right now. we need to appoint an incident ram mayor and get a legally binding contract with the city and county of san francisco so that way we don't have this caretaker mayor that can actually run in the future, so that's all i'm saying with that. but i really urge the city and county of san francisco to have a fair process. that way, it's unbiased, with the three candidates that are currently running right now, and the city can choose, and the city can feel comfortable with that. thank you for your time. >> supervisor: thank you for your comments. i believe that concludes general public comment. madam president? >> the hon. l. breed: are there any members of the public who would like to comment at this time? madam clerk, please read the next items on the agenda, and

we'll go into closed session. >> the hon. l. breed: role call vote. >> on items 31 and 32, supervisor fewer? aye supervisor kim? a aye. supervisor peskin? aye supervisor sheehy? >> clerk: there are 11 ayes. >> the hon. l. breed: those items are adopted unanimously. all right. madam clerk, can you please read the closed session item? >> clerk: yes. scheduled pursuant to a motion approved on october 31st and

continued from december 12th, 2017, the board of supervisors has authorized to convene in closed sessions regarding the labor negotiations with the city's open labor contracts. >> the hon. l. breed: colleagues, can i entertain a motion to go into closed session? moved by supervisor peskin, seconded by supervisor ronen? colleagues, can we do that without objection? without . >> all right, colleagues. madam clerk, it looks like we are back in open session.

okay. >> can we talk? all right, colleagues, we are back in open session. thank you, everyone, for your patience. can i entertain a motion not to disclose our conversation in closed session? >> so moved. >> moved by supervisor peskin, seconded by supervisor yee. colleagues, can we take that without objection? without objection, the motion passes. madam clerk, please read the inmemeraim. >> clerk: yes. the meeting will be adjourned today on behalf of the following individuals. on behalf of supervisor cohen, on behalf of the entire board of supervisors for the late some joe boss. motion made by supervisor breed for the late miss rachel townsend and mr. shaleem

tindall. motion made by supervisor tang and motion peskin for the late mr. jeffrey chin, mr. lynn alcorn, miss jean carlyle, miss milly fishman, and for the late mr. jim moore. >> thank you, madam clerk. this brings us to the end of our agenda. madam clerk, is there any further business on the agenda today? >> clerk: that concludes the agenda for today. >> thank you, ladies and gentlemen. we are adjourned. today.
