and to be fair, i'm very uncomfortable with the size and the scale of -- of this project. i share the community's concern that although a single-family home may be bought -- excuse me, will be sold, we sl have--e no assurances that it will be airbnbed out. although that is in violation of the planning code. we already have very restricted public transportation access and -- and very restricted parking. so we're talking about a lot of constraints that will be placed on -- on the vis valley neighborhood. so these issues and the fare that are kind of manifesting are very real, and i want to dignify them. the challenge is that this project has been approved by the planning department and it's gone through the proper

channels, and the argument that the appellant has raised does not cut muster. it does not rise to the level for us to deny this project from moving forward. so with that, i ask that you join me in upholding the planning department's determination and allow this item to move forward. thank you. >> president breed: okay. seeing no names on the roster, does that mean -- >> supervisor cohen: yes. >> president breed: that you'd like to -- >> supervisor cohen: to make a motion to vote yes on item 48, and we will table items 49 and 50. thank you, colleagues for hearing us out. >> president breed: supervisor cohen has made a motion to approve item 48 and table items 49 and 50. [please stand by for captioner switch]

this motion was approved unanimously. role call for introductions. >> to introduce new business, supervisor fewer. >> supervisor fewer: today colleagues i introduce a resolution urging the sheriff's department and the department of pupublic health to conduct a baseline assessment of the food vendors to evaluate the alignment with good food purchasing standards related to local economies, nutrition, valued workforce, environmental sustainability and animal welfare. it as model developed in 2012 to incentivize public institutionss to procure food produced through values driven purchasing standards adopted by institutions in los angeles, chicago, oakland and san francisco with many more in the exploration process. the good food purchasing program works with institutions to

establish supply chains transparency from farm to fork evaluates how current purchasing practices align with the set of standards assists with goal setting and measures progress and celebrates institutional successes in shifting towards a value-based purchasing model. in 2016 as a member of the san francisco unified board of education i authored a resolution passed unanimously adopting good food purchasing as a district policy and was proud to do so with the support of teamsters, joint council 7 and the center for good food purchasing. my office began discussions with the groups to explore good food purchasing as a policy for city and county hospitals and jails. i want to thank the center for good food purchasing, teamsters council 7 spur and the mayor task force on human trafficking for their collaboration and excitement on the issue and thanks to the sheriff's

department and department of public health to work further to explore this. they have already taken steps towards good few purchasing and using procurement dollars to influence city and county vendors on the value-driven issues. this would be the first step toward exploration of the poll y for jails and hospitals. thank you to supervisors hillary ronen and katy tang for the cosponsorship and i welcome support of my colleagues on my resolution. the rest i submit. >> president breed: thank you. supervisor kim. okay. supervisor peskin. >> supervisor peskin: thank you, madam clerk, colleagues. as i mentioned earlier when we dealt with the motorized scooter permitting matter, today i'm introducing a resolution urging

this board of supervisors to oppose assembly bill 29-89 that would deregulate scooters from triple the current wattage to 750 watts to eliminate the helmet requirement and increase the speed from 15 to 20 miles an hour. it would default scooter ridership to permit use on side walks which from my own observation is an attempt to match the dangerous situation on our streets today saddling municipalities with the burden of moving legislation to prohibit their use on side walks which legislation out of an abundance of caution i asked the city attorney to draft. in the broader context this pattern of disruption where companies move fast, break things and hire teams of lawyers and lobbyist to mend their bad acts has to stop. it requires no stretch of the mind to agree that these companies should be profiting off of the benefit that they provide to the public and that this he should not be profiting

off of the harm they cause to the public realm. it is no surprise that they found a republican assembly member to sponsor the bill because for as long as i can remember, deregulation has been a fundamental tenet for the republican party. and with that, colleagues, i want to thank you for your support of item 52 earlier today. i will be introducing a purely commendatory item commending the workshop on its 42nd anniversary and declaring april 19 as kearney street workshop day and want to thank supervisor kim for her cosponsorship. that is on all of your decks. sad news. a week ago we were standing in the chambers and i did a special order of commendation for ernie baio on his last day of 89. the next day he had his book

launch on the day of his 90th birthday celebration at original joes, 146 people came. i wanted to attend, but was at the coastal commission meeting. and on thursday, mr. baio passed away. our profound regrets to his widow joan and daughter laurel who were sitting in the chambers last week. he was the quintessential north beach character and will be missed. god speed and rest in piece, ernie. steven fong passed away at the ripe age of 89. he immigrated to the united states in 1970 and served in many, many important roles in chinatown and in the chinese community as president of the chinese consolidated b benevolet association and the hospital board and a teacher and true community connector who brought many stakeholders of the

community together and was remarkable havmarkably generouse hospital and understood that the alleyways of chinatown were their back bone and he was a really progressive-thinking community leader who along with his dear friend rose pack led the chinese chamber of commerce and the chinese resource center today known as the chinese community development center to advocate for street repairs and repaving and improve lighting in those alleys and their beautification at a time when asian americans were fighting for rights and justice and equity. steven's involvement later helped move forward rezoning and transportation projects that helped preserve and enhance the community's unique immigrant-serving characteristics. he was the sweetest guy. our condolences to his three sons robert, richard and scott and his daughter stephanie. and, i know that president breed will be adjourning the board in

our sheriff hennessy's husband jim's memory and i would like to add comments to that after president breed does that as well as a district 3 constituent and former president of the board doris ward who passed yesterday. the rest i will submit. president supervisor ronen. thank you. superirvisor safai. >> supervisor safai: i have a memorial. she was born in nica ragua. miriam will be remembered by her husband and children. her son kenneth passed away in 2015 by she leaves behind adoring grandchildren kristina, angela, and jason and her great grand children siena and

nicolas. a rosary service will be held in her honor in evening at the church of the epiphany. family and friends are welcome so i just wanted to end the meeting this evening in her honor, miriam dunnawaa. >> thank you, supervisor. supervisor sheehy. thank you, supervisor stenan. supervisor tang. >> supervisor tang: i would like a adjourn in memory. and also a planning code change as well so that we can try to create more affordable housing near 19th and metara in the district and with that i submit. >> supervisor yee. >> supervisor yee: thank you, madam clerk. colleagues, today i'm -- i am introducing a resolution on

rebaffle of my district 7 youth commissioner, commissionier kristin tam a junior attending lowell high school. i believe she is in the chaimer with other youth commissioners. please stand up just to see who you -- okay. the purpose is to draw attention to the need for greater environmental education for the city's youth. given our federal administrators administration view on denying the existence of climate change and the steps trump has taken to weaken environmental institutions such as cutting funding from for the epa, it is our responsibility as civic leaders to be -- to proactively strengthen our commitment to equip our youth with the critical knowledge and skills to be responsible stewards of our environment. as earth day approaches this sunday, it is important to renew

our commitment to environmental protections such as the ordinance we passed in 2008 supporting mandatory recycling and composting to get san francisco to zero waste by 2020. to move closer towards this school, the san francisco youth commission and specifically commissioner tam have been advocating for more education for our next generation san francisco leaders, the youth. in order to ensure that everyone learns how to properly sort waste and how to play a critical role in achieving our city zero waste goals. as new rules have been implemented to expand out types of recyclable materials, it is important to make sure that the public is aware of the new and existing rules and how great of an impact it makes. for instance, composting your banana peel instead of throwing

it in the land fill can prevent methane from being released into the environment which helps slow down climate change. the department of environment school education team does outstanding outreach. via presentations and workshop to elementary schools and we congratulate them for educating these young students. however, as students advance in their education, the amount of environmental education greatly decreases due to limited time in the curriculum. therefore, as many youth transition from being younger kids to young adults, many forget simple things such as how to properly sort their waste. to solve this problem, we can leverage the department of youth children and families, existing partnership with the grantees. dcyf serves over 50% of the youth from ages 11-17. therefore, it is vital to

connect dcyf with the department of the environments to provide presentations and workshops to dcyf grantee recipients. doing so, education, the -- education around the importance of protecting the environment and sorting waste will reach a broader range of youth throughout the city. connecting with the department of environment to educate older san francisco youth it ensures that the future of san franciscoians understand and are motivated to correctly sort waste in order to uphold our city commitment to improving and caring for their environment. so, i hope you will be joining us when you get a chance to support this resolution submitted by youth commissioner kristine tam. secondly, i wanted to give more thought to this, but i just have

this urge to go ahead and say it. i would like to ask for a hearing -- many of you know there have been pedestrian fatalities in san francisco over the last few years. and, i probably -- probably none of us have escaped that. there has been a senior in your district that was run over by a vehicle and killed. today, that happened again near my district. and, it seems, you know, i -- i had a press conference on friday to focus on pedestrian safety education for our young children in elementary school with the new project that was just kicked off and which we named after the

late mayor lee. called ed's neighborhood. and, i think we have been -- i have been focused on young children and i think it is time for all of us to pay attention and ask our departments to do an analysis of what is going on. i mean why are so many seniors being killed in our streets? and, you know, in this case, and in many cases, these seniors are actually walking in the cross walk and getting hit. so, i'm asking the police department, sfmta, the department of public works, ta, to go study this issue, do the analysis of what we can do to further our ability to prevent these preventible fatalities on our streets. so, the rest i submit. >> clerk: thank you, supervisor. madam president.

>> president breed: thank you. colleagues, today i have i'm introducing a hearing request on updating the board of supervisors on the work group to rein vision the jail replacement project. many of you recall that when the board applied for state funding nearly three years ago, for this project, we created the workgroup to reenvision the jail replacement. the goal of this group was to study al alternatives to incarceration and how we can reduce jail bed days and increase investments in mental health, homelessness, diversion and education programs. with 850 bryant crumbling infrastructure, our escalating homelessness and mental health crisis and our goal of getting out of the hall of justice by 2019, the work of this group has been critical. the issue is really personal for me. i have seen too many of my friends and family members sadly end up behind bars.

and, throughout this reenvisioning process and in the last hearings, we had on the topic at the forward of super -- at the board of supervisors we learned that the jail population using most of the jail bed days is disproportionally young black men and that we have hundreds of individuals struggling with mental illness who are in need of treatment. roughly 18,000 total bed stays in 2015 were occupied by nearly 400 individuals who were waiting for available beds in residential treatment programs or like locked psychiatric facilities. we can do better. as a result of this work group and the process they have undergone we have actually made incredible progress. we are making greater investments in diversion programs. we are making targeted investments in social services and case management it for those who suffer under systemmattic

repeat incarceration and improving the prebooking process. most of all, we are making serious investment in mental health and substance abuse treatment. but this work was just the beginning. we need to do whatever is necessary to get folks out of the hall of justice as soon as possible. and we need to be diligent and transparent about what it will take to get it done. this hearing will provide us an opportunity to review how these programs are working and make adjustments if needed. i want to thank all of those who participated in the workgroup to reenvision the jail replacement. the cochairs sheriff vickty hennessy, director garcia and roma guy and i look forward to the continuing discussion around this particular issue and hopefully solutions to one of our most challenging problems. the other item i have an in memoriam nor james hennessy.

the husband of sheriff vikki hennessy. he passed away and leaves behind his wife of 41 years, two children and one grandchild on the way. james a native san franciscan proudly served as a member of the san francisco police department for 34 years. 21 son the horses. he actually received a gold medal for saving the life of a tourist at ocean beach. he join the the police department after returning from service in the navy during the vietnam war. while in the police department, james also spent 22 years volunteering at the san francisco police credit union serving on numerous committees and on the board of directors. he loved to travel. and according to his wife sheriff hennessy, he was a great story teller. when we lose a member of our city family, it touches each and every one of us and i know that i speak for each and every one

of us when we say to sheriff vikki hennessy, our thoughts and prayers with you and colleagues. i know that others have comments that they would like to make and without further adieu, i want to acknowledge supervisor pas pesko make remarks. >> supervisor peskin: thank you, president breed. i want to thank eileen hurst for filling me in about jim who is not only a proud vietnam vet but organized trips back to vietnam as other veterans as a touchstone for healing and closing for all sides around a very traumatic period in our history. i want to say that i believe he is the only person in the history of mayoral proclamations to get a proclamation for an animal which was his horse gus. i think the mayor who issued

that proclamation was dianne feinstein. our condolences to sheriff hennessy. >> president breed: thank you. supervisor cohen. >> supervisor cohen: i'm not sure if the sheriff is somewhere in the building watching but i definitely want to uplift her. i have found the sheriff to be so thoughtful and heartwarming in her approach to policy, to community justice, reform, and, of course, an unparalleled dedication to her family. i have known her husband has been ill for many years and i want to commend the entire hennessy family for coming together and cherishing mr. hennessy for being a wonderful father, and also for being a loving husband for the last 41 years. sheriff, i just want you to know that i'm definitely thinking about you. i know this is an incredibly difficult time but you heard from the president, our hearts with you and we are holding you

up in our thoughts and prayers and sending you much energy. i am delighted to know that your husband is no longer suffering, no longer sick and no longer in pain. and, i want to implore you to hold on to your cherished memories and remember the love and the bond that the two of you have shared. thank you. >> thank you supervisor cohen. supervisor fewer. >> supervisor fewer: i just wanted to extend our deepest condolences to the sheriff in the loss of her husband. you know, i have been married myself going on 37 years and i know what it is like to be in a partnership where you grow into adulthood and then later into older adulthood. and what a deep connection that is. so i send my deepest sympathies on behalf of my entire district 80,000 residents to the sheriff today.

>> clerk: thank you. >> president breed: colleagues can we adjourn the board meeting in honor of james hennessy on behalf of the entire board without objection, without objection we will do so. thank you. [gavel] >> president breed: colin cowhercolincowherd i have oneot. former president and supervisor of the board doris margaret ward. she was born on january 27, 1932 in chicago. she passed away this weekend at age 86. while in high school, in gary, indiana, doris became active in the civil rights movement. during college at indiana university, she participated in several sit-ins at bars and other public areas. after moving to san francisco in 1972, she became a community

college trustee and was elected to the board of supervisors in 1979. it would be another 11 years before she became the first african american to serve as the president of the board of supervisors. doris didn't begin her career as a politician. she started as a teacher. and her passion for education and for helping young people never waiverred. she had a profund sense of compassion for all people, compassion which carried through all of her work as a community college trustee, a member of the board of supervisors, assessor, recorder for the city and county of san francisco, and a true community leader. doris always had the courage to stand up and speak out for those who did not always have a voice. she spoke up for those who felt isolated and unheard in our city. she spoke up for those who needed access to affordable

housing and tenant protections. and she spoke up for those who our city was leaving behind. as someone who grew up in public housing in this city and who felt isolated, doris showed me and many? many in my community that things could be different. she showed me elected leaders in the city could actually care about communities. when i had the fortune of meeting doris in high school, she encouraged me, she listened to me. she told me to do well in school. she told me i was smart. she didn't know who i was or that i might end up here one day. i was just another public school kid but she cared. she listened. she encouraged me anyway. this is how doris was to everyone that she would meet. unweaveringly committed to doing the -- unwaverly committed. there are so many people to whom

i owe my success and one of them is truly doris ward. it is because of women like her that we have opportunities supervisor cohen and myself have opportunities to actually serve on the board of supervisors. her approach and emphasis on compassion is something that i try to carry with me throughout my work. i was incredibly fortunate to have benefited from her advice and counsel over the years and a few months ago supervisor cohen and i honored here here in the chamber at the board of supervisors chamber. it included so many friends, family members, former members of the board of supervisors, leaders in the city. they celebrated her life and her career and her legacy. today as our country and sometimes even our city feels even more divided than ever, doris is definitely someone that

we can all learn from. we all come to these chambers every tuesday committed to addressing the issues facing san francisco. but today i want us all to think about how we can be more like doris. how we can be more compassionate to one another especially when we disagree. how we can work together better on behalf of the citizens of this city and how we can strive to speak up and listen to those who may feel as i once did, that they didn't have a voice here at city hall. to doris whose spirit i know will always be in this chamber and with so many of us in this city, i stand on your shoulders, i will carry your history, your struggle, and your triumph with me every single day. you will be truly missed and thank you all so much for taking this moment to acknowledge someone who was a true hero here in the city and county of san francisco. and with that, i would like to turn it over to supervisor cohen

for a few remarks. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. i think the best part about having an opportunity to talk about doris ward today in this space and in this time is that we were able to do it when she was alive several months ago. in this chamber, committee members got together and she sat right here in the well and she talked about what she contributed. she talked about what life was like. and it was just such a privilege to be there standing with president breed talking standing on the shoulder but also reminiscing about how far we have come. but also paying homage and respect to the future and how much further we must continue to go. when i was first elected i remember she encouraged me to reach out and be a more involved in regional bodies. and then london got elected two years after i did and i think she took us both out to lunch. not only was doris so strong,

she was funny. and this is a woman that wasn't afraid to have a cocktail in the middle of the day. [laughter] >> her cocktail choice was a manhattan. she had so many stories and so many lessons to share. she inspired me. i remember being in middle school when she was running for assessor. i didn't know what assessor was and quite frankly until just recently learned about assessor, thank you, carmen. but she was a woman that was on the news. there weren't many black women that were on the news even in this great progressive city of san francisco. that was elected. she convinced me when i was younger that i could do it and that i could win and that i could run and that i could win. and that in this city we would be able to rise above politics and ethnic -- teams for lack of a better way to describe it.

and really soar into office based on policy. this was a thoughtful woman. a pioneering woman. the best part about it was that she was so humble. she wasn't even trying to make history and wasn't trying to make a name for herself. she was just trying to make san francisco better for everyone. it is with great pleasure that we get to stand her on her shoulders reminiscing and paying homage to an incredible legacy. a legacy, frankly, if you realize it or not that we are all standing on. we are all standing on the shoulders of doris ward and many people that have come before us. willie b. kennedy included. i what want to say thank you doris and lift the glass up to you and for your memory you have left an incredible gift to the city and county of san francisco and i'm privileged to be here to continue and work in that vein.

thank you. >> president breed: without objection it would be an honor to adjourn the meeting today on behalf of the entire board in honor of former supervisor, former assessor, doris ward. without objection. [gavel] >> president breed: the west i submit. >> clerk: thank you, madam president. supervisor cohen. roll call? >> president breed: i was yelling norman yee that i would say wonderful things about him when his time is up. >> supervisor yee: thanks a lot. >> i have good things for you, too. all of you. all of you. but you got to do good work. give me something to talk about. okay. first, ladies and gentlemen, i'm excited because i want to talk to you about a few things. i want to talk to you about the budget and the budget cycle. we are in the season. we are talking about the budget. we are trying to figure out our budget priorities.

and last week on the budget and finance committee we had the first priority hearing and the focus was on clean streets across san francisco. the reason we are doing things differently we are trying to create a budget process focus the on policy. we are trying to extrapolate the traffic and nonpoliticking of groups and organizations and get down to the crux of why we serve. so the first presentation that we heard was from the city service auditor from the department of public works. from the department of public health. community benefit districts and the budget legislative analysts. as well as comments, of course, from concerned community members. now, there are a few things that stuck out. from the hearing. first, that dpw street environment services team has seen a 50% budget increase over the last few years but continues to see a huge in flux in service

call requests. second the metrix that we track as a city suggest that the streets and sidewalks are getting cleaner but if you walk around the street would you probably would argue something different. public perception is indicating that we are not meeting our mark. second or third. entry level staffing and employees retention is a challenge for the department of public works. fourth. localized work is essential for prevention and quick response when it comes to trash buildup particularly. and in high traffic areas we rely heavily, heavily on our community benefit districts, community partners to supplement our efforts. quite frankly, to the tune of $4 million in additional tax assessment that is allocated to

street cleaning alone. so we have heard you. street cleaning is a priority. so, it is important that this conversation inform not just our own responses to constituents but also that it drives policy and the budget investment both for us at the board of supervisors and for the mayor's budget process. you see, on june 1, the mayor is going to present his draft budget to this body and then we will then digest this budget and have many deliberations and many long meetings around this budget. and produce the policy that we will call the budget. and the way this works, is it is important to have input from every aspect of the community. the importance of this conversation is to inform not just our responses to constituents but most importantly to drive the policy and the budget investment. so together, with my colleagues on the budget finance committee

i'm introducing a resolution urging the mayor to fund our street cleaning priorities. now, this is something, this resolution, it is something that i'm going to be bringing to each and every one of you every week. this is based off of what we hear in the budget and finance committee. we are going to be putting what we hear into a resolution that we are then going to pass as a board and we are going to submit to the mayor. and in hopes that he will hear us and that these priorities will be reflected in his budget that he is going to be presenting in june. now, pitstop expansion. nonprofit work grants and the purchase of additional steam cleaning equipment. that is what our priority -- where the priorities are. this is what we heard from the committee. i would also like to see new public trash cans redesigned accelerated. a plan to improve staff retention and a commitment to citywide geographic equity in

the street cleaning strategy. this resolution has been introduced without reference to committee. i hope to have your unanimous support. i want to acknowledge that we have every member actually supervisor sheehy, i don't know, have you read it? okay. it is being processed. every member has signed on to the resolution. and i believe that supervisor sheehy is still mulling it over and will about eventually be inspired to get on board with the rest of his colleagues. icolleagues thatis just budget,. i have some heavy stuff to talk about. ironic i have an overwhelming number of calls from the president about the shipyard hearing i'm going to be introducing today yet nobody is here. i'm not quite sure how to reconcile that. perhaps they are watching from afar. i want to say that today i'm introducing a hearing to discuss the cleanup timeline of the hunter's point shipyard and to address the disputes between the

federal regulators and the u.s. navy on first the percentage of parcel g that will be retested and second, the methodology of retesting soil. now, i don't know how much you know about the hunter's point shipyard cleanup. you read about it. nbc 11 has done a tremendous job on the investigative reporting. it has been in the process of being cleaned up for 30 years, quite frankly. and this decade-long process is in -- there is no end in sight. at some point, we want tinging a knowledge the fact that corners were cut under tetra-tech which is a consultant used to partner with the testing the soil. under their super vision, corners were cut landing us in the situation that we have before us today. given the concerns about falsified tests, there has been

an understandable erosion of public trust not only that the land being retested will ever be safe, and inhabitable, habitable, but also that the land where individuals and families are currently living right now there is questions around whether or not that land is safe. so i have -- i wanted to share with you some details about what the week has been like. we have had expectant families contacting my office with real fears about giving birth while living at the shipyard and raising their children on what is widely perceived to be tox executivtoxicland and not to mee little four-legged fu furry fris that we have that are walking on the p ope open spaces in the sh. we want to make sure it is safe. i have families reaching out with questions about air quality. people asking how to get out of

their leases because they are concerned about the life and safety of their families. i'm hearing real fears from the community and very little appropriate response from the navy. this is unacceptable. enough is enough. from my perspective, the navy has done an exceptionally poor job of communicating with the public. as a matter of fact, it has been resistant. it is because of public actions that sunshined and has shed light and continues to shed light on a very dark issue. we are talking about a superfund site. that means that the land at some point was contaminatedly hazardous waste and identified by the epa, the environmental protection agency for cleanup because of the risks posed to human health, because of the risks posed to human health and to the environment. and no other community in

san francisco would a disgraceful sequence of events such it is a be allowed to persist. even in district 6 in the treasure island project is further along this their cleanup. and that is a crime. it is no coincidence that in the city with an african american population of less than 5% and dropping in a part of town that holds 22% of that population in a neighborhood that was once the only place where of a conditionn americans could buy and own a home because of redlining and restrictive covenants that we are even talking about this matter today. this environmental injustice of a huge proportion. now, because of the housing affordability crisis we have people trying to rush through teting and frankly this is unacceptable. most upsetting yet unsurprising is that no one has been held

accountable. no one. no one has paid a fine. no one has been faced criminal charges for fraud. no one has even appeared before this body to defend the bogus actions of falsifying tests on toxic land and it has been -- it is absolutely outrageous. so, we all should be upset. we all should be enraged and disturbed and the disgusted by the casual approach our federal government has taken in the work of cleaning up land that they poisoned in the first place when they dumped industrial and nuclear pollution here. the navy needs to do the right thing and clean up this mess. i'm sick and tired of in. we demand of timeline of when the work will be completed and we demand that the navy stop cutting corners and stop trying to find shortcuts and retest 100%, 100% of the land on parcel g in the shipyard and i hope

that you will join me in holding the navy accountable. as we continue to move forward. i think that is all i have. colleagues, that's enough. i'm tired. got to conserve my hearin hear r that hearing. thank you, madam president. the rest i submit. >> clerk: that concludes the introduction of new business. >> president breed: and supervisor cohen i stand with you on that hearing as well. thank you so much for your leadership. >> supervisor cohen: thank you, i appreciate that. >> president breed: madam clerk, supervisor kim has asked to be rereferred. >> supervisor kim: i want to add as a cosponsor to the hearing on the shipyards. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. >> president breed: supervisor fewer? >> supervisor fewer: i want to add my name and thank you for your leadership. this has been an issue for a very long time affecting the health of so many people that

live there. thank you for taking a leadership role on this. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. >> clerk: ronen? tang, are you? all right. anyone else. peskin? sheehy? safai and stephanie? a full house. thank you. >> president breed: are there other members who have not completed roll call for introduction? >> clerk: to my knowledge that concludes it, madam president. >> president breed: please read public comments. >> clerk: the public may address the entire board of supervisors with subjects to include the march 13, 2018 board meeting minutes and items 55 through 6 is on the adoption without reference to committee calendar. public comment will not be allowed when an item has been previously subject to comment at a board committee. please direct your kent foss the board as a mole -- comments to the board as a whole.

speakers using interpretation assistants will be allowed twice the amount of time to testify and if you would you like to display a document the overhead projector, please clearly state such to sfg-tv and remove the document when you would like the screen to return to live coverage of the meeting. first speaker please. >> my name is kristin tam. district 7 youth commissioner. the commissioner who helped write the resolution that supervisor yee and tang and sheehy have graciously agreed to introduce and cosponsor. i would like to thank all three of them and their legislative aides for doing so. this is important because of the need to educate our young people about the commitment to the environment and especially touches my heart because i have been blessed for a great passion for protecting the environment. i love going outside and being able to be outside enjoy breathing in fresh air that

isn't polluted and being able to have clean water and clean resources. and that is something i don't want to have to take for granted when i grow up later. and so, in addition to that, it so important to be able to educate our youth about the importance of protecting the environment and in one way doing so by sorting our waste. so thank you with that. with that, thank you so much for your support. i hope to continue the collaboration between the board of supervisors and the san francisco youth commission for many further issues. thank you. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> could you put this book up? >> clerk: sfg-tv, please. >> clerk: i'm starting your time, sir.

>> god is precise and he wants his people to be precise. i made a mistake last week in saying 1945 was the sabbath year. it was '46 and a smidgeon of '47. i also made a mistake in the previous speech i gave here in saying the rebellon was the 32 jubilees after christ. it was the 32nd. i believe 8,062 days ago something big time happened. and that something big time that happened was the founding of the first trumpet at the time -- sounding of the first trumpets at the ends of the times of the gentiles which is 360 sabbatical cycles. 6,062 days ago, the sixth trumpet began to sound. 9/11. i predicted this a month before it happened based on when jesus was baptized.

quite easy to do mathematically and i believe that now today the seventh trumpet has been sounding for 3,062 days. and you know, jesus said ask and it will be give and seek and you shall find. knocked a the door will be opened unto you you are not supposed to tell anybody when you fast or pray. hide it as much as you can. i tell you i fasted a whole day. i missed breakfast. at lunch i was starving and pie fallly made it to dinner and i prayed one thing. one thing only over and over. well, not one thing only but most by one thing. [bell rings] that the lord would show me when he was coming back. it is strange if you think about it. next year is april 19 when passover falls. it will be 8,430 days from the sounding of the first trumpet. and to me, that is a very interesting number. 8,000 is a very interesting number. 430 if you go to exodus it was

430 years from when abraham was told by god something very important to the exeter [bell rings] >> clerk: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. political leaders shall engage on word rescues with mercy to actualize one's true destiny of kindness and righteousness. social morality works on who wilholiness and external mixes. principles. the virtues. the teachings of the studties of the political leaders should establish as quick foundation of the society for the wealthy or the people. world tragedies are caused by the corruption of human hearts and desires of human kind. lead to bad competition.
