help us, give us our money back and take your medallion. thank you so much. >> thank you for your comments. speaker, please. >> good afternoon. i have a medallion for $250,000. i'm speaking regarding medallions. since they have taken over the administration of the taxi business, it is declining. they achieve san francisco taxi disaster. they have... and blessed of the cab company with 3,000 medallions. it made as to throw out taxi medallions to the bank. because sfmta providers are

sharing their choices to the public. they never considered taxi drivers as part of the public, and they want us to drive empty. they are committed to the bank. the refusal to buy back the medallion is a violation. we lost our business income. so we can't make the medallion payments. i believe me. i'm went to the bank today to make a two month payment. and made me nervous in my notes. we do not have other choices to make medallion payments. please make an amendment to the taxi medallion by back and to refund money back he was as soon

as possible, and compensate the drivers for their loss. we are losing business for almost four years. we want-- >> thank you. thank you it, sir. thank you fear comments. next speaker, please. >> hello. i am a yellow cab driver. i have been driving -- driving a cab since 1997. the city started selling the medallions in 2010. that's tenant -- that time they said you buy them italian for $250,000, or we will -- there will be no list for a free medallions. you buy it or you are out of the list. we bought the medallions for $250,000 and then huber and lift jumped in. they did not protect our business.

after that, they sold them for hundred $50,000 for other people who wanted to buy. why charge $250,000 for cost for the people who applied after us? they did $125,000. that is a total injustice. my request is please buy back the medallions for us -- from us or give us our money back. i'm not asking for all the money i paid, you just pay us our principal money back to us and take medallion back. second thing, i have a request. i am a cab driver and a work night time. this, i pick up two working people. and i went to the mission district on 19 and mission.

they didn't pay my fair. i said, you know, i will tell you the police station will not pay the fair. they said a bad word to my indian race, also. they opened the door and jumped out. i don't put glasses on for fashion. look at my face over here. it burned my skin and i had to drive to the general hospital. thank god those doctors took care of my i. >> thank you for your comments. thank you. thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> i need the cover, please. >> okay. if you see this, i am a

community activist for 29 years in san francisco. living 15 years in bayview hunter's point. what you see here, first of all, congratulations to yourself london breed in regards to your victory. i am happy that this is going forth. the spirit of truth, we need to see women of dignity and integrity. she ran a fair race. she ran a decent race. she ran a race without being faked, without being cunning, without being devious. i want to say that what we have observed here in san francisco was shocking. racism is truly alive. i was never naïve to that, and neither are we. but to have a board that say they are of justice and fighting

ethnic examples to be principles of integrity, and to do what was done in this race, i can see why it was meant for me to be on the same. i want to talk in regards the bayview opera house. on october 21st, there was a pimp awards. you see, did you see that? yes. that's at the bayview opera house. a pimp ball was given. to say that we were the best assets. no way would it be at the opera house. a little 8-year-old boy saw this image. he came with the horror on the left-hand side. a black women, is a horror on the left-hand side. and the first bank coat at the

opera house. >> thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. i think everybody knows who i am. first of all, congratulations being mayor, mayor london breed. and also congratulations -- thank you for announcing the committee on the taxi medallion issue. why we keep coming here? people are asking so much. they have not invested a penny into this one. they are asking for the residence and asking for every kind of help. but we are not asking those things.

we are only asking what we have invested in. -- that is all we are asking back. we don't want to be a part of this issue anymore. and we need your help. we are going to keep coming and we will keep asking. let's be honest one time for the taxi drivers. why the taxi driver is not a part of community? the web of things running here, i'm assuming the cabdriver is a kind of alien, and have been following somewhere unwanted. if you don't like this unwanted alien, then just shut down the taxi and the alien will disappear.

no need to kill them. with different rules and regulations. the one is getting free medallion and the other is paying $250,000. thank you very much. i hope you will keep a deep look-- >> thank you. thank you for your comment next speaker, please. >> i am with the taxi drivers. they got a goldman sachs deal but that san francisco government was a goldman sachs, not very good. we should be able to help them. congratulations mayor elect, london breach. before we leave, i want to go

back to the meeting where we said no to $80 million from the state government for a new jail, when 60, 40-6 a% of the involvement with the police was basically with mentally challenged people. emotionally challenged people. the less fortunate, and we said no to that because we don't think we needed that. i think in your next position, you might be able to do something for the city that increases people that are in jail, and can help their dignity. and help our community, and help your families and friends. i know you have a special visi vision. i would like for you to team up with supervisor kim.

probably the point person in this city who knows exactly what is happening on the streets and what needs to be done to help these people. i think jail is probably the worst thing to do. if we can come up with a plan, if you can work together, it would be lovely to get this do done. we will help our communities. thank you and good luck. >> thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> thank you. president breed, ladies and gentlemen of the board, i am a voluntary psychiatric outpatient in the city for over a decade. last week i read to you from a law journal. along with you about some quotations by a psychiatrist basically saying that involuntary outpatient treatment means they get to take away

constitutional rights of our citizens. and i asked you, are we ruled by loss? are we to be ruled by laws, or are we to be ruled about -- by doctors? because their decisions are far from infallible. as shown by the fact that they changed depending on which dr you ask. if you take the same patient, one doctor will say they have a serious mental illness. they are psychotic. another doctor will say no, they are not psychotic. they do not have a serious mental illness. they have a personal disorder and another doctor will give you yet another answer. we are holding people post as constitutional rights on this basis. i refer to you sociological research to the effect that significant factors in that

decision is a social distance between the doctor and the patient. what social distance -- distance means is race. it means gender. it means of sexual orientation. it means age. and so, by funding citywide case management with voluntary outpatient treatment of over a million dollars a week, you are finding racism. whatever you say about tearing down streets and statutes, you are finding racism at a high rate. >> thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> i think you can actually put the date of the chinese involved in american wars quite a bit earlier. there is a case where people were living in mexico as early as the 16th century. i want to do some numerology.

because the christian guy isn't here, i will fill in for him. mind will not require a belief in faith but a force powerful enough to destroy the whole world will save a hundred 44,000 people. there will be less of belief in my numerology. on this day, there have been some very big changes in american history at certain points where the tide has turned dramatically. and parties came into being and other parties disappeared, you know. john adams was one point. his son, john quincy adams was the approximate end of the democratic republican party. of course, the civil war with republicans, and, you know, the depression. another part where the country

was going on and off hand direction and change dramatically with that new deal. you probably maybe know this, there his exactly 22 years between lincoln and fdi. there was 72 years between washington and lincoln. there were 14 presidents between washington and licked it -- lincoln. and 14 presidents between lincoln and fdr. that 72 years ended in 2,004 and we have yet to see a really great president. it seems like our system needs something like this every 72 years. something like that. put it back in line. >> thank you. thank you. before he speaks, are there any other members of the public who would like to address the board during general public comment? please come up to you're right.

next speaker, please. >> hello. good evening. i am the director of the library users association. i feel a little bit like bedtime stories at camp at 615. congratulations to all of those who ran, or whether you ran or did not. we care about the city being sanctuary city. we hear about privacy measures being introduced for the members of the public benefits. what is the meaning of that if we allow the library to impinge on people post as privacy and enable the tracking of not only what people are reading, but also there is tracking throughout the e.f.f. that they have mentioned, and described in its writings at the rfid

location which the library wants to install. it will enable the tracking on a selective basis of where people go with their items, whether or not the person tracking cares about what the title is. i felt encouraged by the first meeting of the budget and finance committee through hearing about people post as objections there. i think it stays that way. and i would like to give you this letter from the electronic rontier notation and aclu which is a very strongly opposed to the implementation of rfid. that is $3.4 million at the library that could be much better used for many other things like more open hours in the evenings and other times. and other things. both the aclu northern california have opposed and continue to oppose the use of

rfid technology in libraries because of its very significant privacy and free speech concerns. you can learn more from them, and also from library users association. please show the letter. >> thank you fear comments. madam president? >> supervisor breed: are there any other members of the public would like to provide public comment? seeing non, public comment is now closed. madam clerk, please read the item without adoption of reference to the committee. >> it is a motion to concur in the continuation of the declaration of local emergency by the mayor and in the actions taken, to me to the emergency of flooding affecting the san francisco public utilities commission, and the moccasin reservoir. >> can we take this item, same house, same colloquy that motion is approved unanimously.

planning commission discretionary review hearing for 100% affordable housing projects upon delegation by the planning commission, to provide planning department review of large projects located in c-3 [reading] to affirm the ceqa determination and make the appropriate findings. >> president breed: supervisor peskin? >> supervisor peskin: thank you, madam president, colleagues, there is plenty in this 70-page ordinance i think is commendable. and there seems to be, i think, unanimous support for the 100% affordable housing streamlining provisions, as well as large project authorization provisions in the eastern neighborhoods, which is consistent with many pieces of legislation that this board has passed. but i think there are a number of provisions that are unnecessary that really are taking away things that

neighbors and neighborhoods have used to, i think, further the credibility and trust of the system. specifically, i'm referring to the reduction of neighborhood notice from 30 days to 20 days. the elimination of notice for what's commonly referred to as pop-outs. as well as the postcard notice ordinance would reduce the type and size of neighborhood notice which was really the subject of years of advocacy to get sufficient notice to nearby neighbors. what i would like colleagues to do, and i should say also, this thing has been fasttracked. the planning department admitted they really did not do any outreach to impacted community groups, as i said, by their own admission. and what we need to do is restore trust in the planning process.

and like i said, there's plenty in here i think we should all be in agreement on. i've asked the city attorney if they could draft, actually, for today's meeting, the amendments to address the three issues, i believe supervisor ronan has a fourth issue in and around multi-lingual notice. the city attorney wasn't able to do it in time for today's meeting. i would like to propose a one-week continuance so we could consider those amendments at our meeting on the 26th. >> president breed: supervisor peskin made a motion to continue this item to the meeting of june 26th. seconded by supervisor cohen. supervisor cohen? >> supervisor cohen: thank you very much for the recognition. i just wanted to add emphasis to what supervisor peskin was saying, i too am concerned about the reduced notification, most people i represent are

interested in more notification, not reduced comment period. so i just want to express a few of my concerns, that being the primary one for this particular legislation, and i'm glad to see, or i hope to see other colleagues supporting the request for continuance. i will be. thank you. >> president breed: thank you, supervisor cohen. supervisor ronan? >> supervisor ronen: thank you, madam president, i agree on the notice provisions but i also have been talking to the city attorney's office about an additional amendment regarding different languages that the notice is listed currently, the current draft of legislation only provides a telephone listing and i think we should provide additional information for those who don't speak english, the building or permit

application number, basic details of the project and how to access plan sets and date time and location of the hearings. so i will be working with the city attorney and also believe i can get that amendment ready within a week. i see deputy city attorney jon givner nodding, so i will be supporting the continuance. i want to mention especially when it comes to the 100% affordable i will be supportive of the entire thing once these minor amendments are made and i do feel it works well in conjunction with the legislation i have introduced that will have a hearing shortly talking about the post-entitlement process and speeding up the process for 100% affordable projects. thank you. >> president breed: thank you. supervisor tang? >> supervisor tang: thank you very much. i just want to relay a couple thoughts i shared in land use

committee when we saw this item. over arching i think it's very important to really continue this work, i know mayor lee started in 2015 around process improvements. one of the things i had stated about the notification was i do understand as a concern, you know, in land use committee we asked for a 20-day notice. when you look at the spread of all the different types of notification we do as a city for planning projects, the vast majority were actually 20 days. there were a couple that were 10-day notices that would have been lifted up and increased by 10 more days to 20-day notice. and then there were a few, about, i think 6 or so that would go from 30 day to 20 day, that was the rationale behind why i supported 20 day notice but i see the concern colleagues are raising. i want to caution when we go to 30 days it means quite a few project that's saw 10 and 20 day notice will now be 30 days.

again, i hear the concerns, and that's something i'm willing to give up here, in exchange, i think for the larger context of this legislation, to really put forth process improvements. also i wanted to note despite the fact we asked for 20-day notice, we were still asking for pre-application, and mailed 15-day notice from d.b.i. so it wasn't because just because we went to 20-day notice there wasn't going to be some other neighborhood notification. i think the pre-application process is also just as important. so i think overall, i really want to have colleagues support the idea of the so-called pop-outs. i think it's really important because so many already exist and really it's just about adding one or basically one more unit in the backyard, we see all over the city already. so with that said, i will be okay with supporting 30-day notice but i wanted to share thoughts from land use

committee. >> president breed: thank you, supervisor tang. supervisor yee? >> supervisor yee: thank you, president breed. i want to thank supervisor peskin for tackling some of these issues i was concerned about also. and to be truthful, there's some good things about this and there's others where i have concerns. including the no notification for the 100% affordable housing. it's been my experience in observing what has been done over land use issues in this chamber is that when there's more input from community, more input from as many entities as possible it takes a little while that the projects end up being better than they started off. what we don't want to do, i want to caution just because

it's affordable doesn't mean we want ugly inefficient buildings. want to make sure we understand the ramifications of just saying no notification and letting it go. >> president breed: thank you. supervisor safai? >> supervisor safai: thank you, madam president. i too also in agreement with a continuance on this item for the process of drafting some amendments to this. i do want to say some of the conversation we had in land use committee because i think it was a really important conversation. let's keep in mind for the pop-out, which is part of the conversation, about two full-time staff spend their time reviewing these which are routinely approved consistently. part of the goal of this is to free up staff time, so we can get to the long list of affordable housing projects that supervisor ronen brought forward in the hearing, that we could get to a long list of projects all over the city to deal with the backlog of this

housing crisis. so a lot of this process improvement is about freeing up staff time and redirecting it to the appropriate area of concentration. that's not to say that we were saying 100% that we wouldn't have review and one of the things that was talked about in committee that i will be supporting an amendment on would be that for the pop-out projects that there would be a mandatory pre-application that was something that was discussed at the planning commission. it wasn't put in, it should be an amendment to this. that means full set of plans to the adjacent neighbors, the ones most impacted by the construction and work. quite frankly, it's that time in the construction process. i agree with supervisor yee, the community involvement is very important and we end up with a better project but it's also about the time the input is given so we have a good outcome and i think everyone agrees having a mandatory

pre-application is also very beneficial to the conversation in ensuring we have that outcome. i'm fine with standardizing the notification. i like the additional requirements for giving you details on the project and how to get access to plans in different languages. but let's keep in mind the idea of really trying to redirect some of the staff time with limited resources to really dealing with this backlog and housing crisis and i think that's where the genesis of this was. i too, support a continuance and hopefully we will have the right level of amendments and consensus at the next meeting. >> president breed: thank you. supervisor stefani? >> supervisor stefani: thank you, president breed. i, too, am supportive of the continuance and streamlining and making sure the process isn't abused so people aren't in long protracted battles that prevents them from adding onto their homes like we saw in the land use committee. almost every single

neighborhood association in my district has questions about the ordinance and would like to weigh in on it. i was saying earlier today there's that saying if you aren't at the table you are on the menu and they feel they have been left out of the conversation. i feel this continuance would help us restore trust in this planning process. meaningful community input, i agree there's obviously merit to these ideas, there's plenty to agree on here but i think all stakeholders need to be involved and i will be supporting the continuance. thank you. >> president breed: okay, seeing no other names on the roster, on the motion to continue the item, colleagues could we take that same house, same call? without objection, this item will be continued to the meeting of june 26th, 2018. madam clerk, let's go to the next item. >> clerk: item 29 resolution to rename phelan avenue between flood avenue and ocean avenue

"but california is a white man's country and two racists

cannot live side-by-side in peace, inasmuch as we discover the country first and occupied it, we propose to hold it against either a peaceful or a war-like invasion". and the quote again "as soon as japanese cooleys are kept out of the country, there will be danger of irritating these sensitive and aggressive people. they must be excluded because they are non-assimilatable. they are for a foreign element, they don't bring up families, they don't support churches, schools or theaters. in the time of trial they will not fight for uncle sam, but betray him to the enemy. phelan also opposed chinese immigration. in 1912 he wrote this is the white man's
