tran11-2016 and with this government body on july 16, 2019. i demand that the city of san francisco provide a recent auditing report, accompanied with bank statements on account numbers being used by the city. the last time i gave a public comment, i was talking about what has happened with the federal reserve, and its dictatorial practices and how it has caused the current homelessness problem, which i see. you know, i have lived here from 1985-1996. i moved to new york city, that i move back recently in in january of 2019, i am completely shocked at how many homeless american citizens there are in your streets. it is unacceptable. expert authority, thomas jefferson wrote to albert gallatin, "if the american people ever allow central banks to control, then the inflation

and deflation and manipulations will deprive the people of their property, until their children wake-up homeless, on the continent their fathers conquered". my background is american monetary history, and policy, and the constitution of light. i will be happy to help thank you very much for your attention. >> next speaker, please.

said he basically owes them for their loss of income. i would suggest to please by all of the medallions back, and also refund the loss of income that they have incurred on them, because san francisco is supporting uber and lyft. they are driving and making money on the city of san francisco streets. please help the medallion buyers. thank you. >> i have not seen a homeless person today, for the first time in memory. regarding the need waste program. good money is chasing bad litter in the win. i'm facilitating a dirty habit. you do not hand out cigarettes, you should not have a purely

toxic program. given the recent spate of public fumes that have ended in tragic fatalities, i am imagining you are, as i am, against senseless acts of violence. i believe it is worth supporting the roll of media in general which far too often repeat grotesque mischaracterization, outright melissa lies and inflammatory rhetoric. immigrant families are being kidnapped, separated and taken to concentration camps, where women are told to drink water from toilets, children are locked in cages, left to sleep on cold hard concrete and said to be dying in the immigration authorities custody with u.s. border agents being vilified as fascist and nazis. unfortunately, such slander has vulgar attempts to my emotional manipulation or the commonplace tactics of character disordered individuals and borderline

personalities. it comes as no surprise, given the reckless insight to violence , with the wolf tickets sold, dog whistles blown respectively. eventually a misguided lone wolf does show up and allegedly armed in front of an emigration facility, rifle in hand, attempting to detonate a propane tank, having set nearby cars and buildings of flame. is it any wonder, when uniform mexican soldiers enter the u.s. illegally, and disarm a national guardsmen, at gunpoint, as a very likely, wrongly imagined they are avenging -- >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> mr. president i will add, before the next speaker. any other members of the public that would like to address the board during general public

comment, step up to your right hand side. otherwise this will be the last speaker. >> business in chinatown for 50 years, after hearing naming the station either chinatown or rose pak, my opinion, since i've been here for 50 years, do not name it after anyone. leave the station as chinatown. like i said, rose is a great person and the present, but in the past she has a dark side. i am here 50 years, and we don't choose. thank you. >> thank you. that will conclude our public comments for today. madame clerk, please call for adoption of our committee agenda items 61-65. . >> clerk: introduced for adoption without reference to committee, unanimous vote is

required for resolutions today right alternatively any supervisor may require a resolution to go to committee. . >> supervisor yee: would any of my colleagues like to sever any items? >> 62. >> 61. >> i just want to make sure i'm added as a cosponsor to 52 -- 62. . >> supervisor yee: and, 65. okay. >> 63, 64. . >> supervisor yee: i think we need to take roll call. i see somebody missing. supervisor haney, are you around . >> clerk: item 63 and 64, supervisor haney. i'm sorry, mr. president we need a roll call. go ahead.

the agenda. madam clerk, is there any further business before us today? >> clerk: that concludes this session. >> president yee: this is our last meeting before our recess session. have a great summer, and we are done with the agenda. [gavel] >> good morning, everyone.

i'm tom mcguire and i have the privilege of acting as the san francisco m.c.a. we're here to celebrate the opening of this beautiful train platform. this is going to be the best way to get to the chase center arena. we're exciting to be cutting the ribbon on that platform today. this arena will be the most sustainable, transit-friendly and most successful arena in the nba. to celebrate this opening, i would like to welcome mayor london breed. >> mayor breed: thank you, tom. there are a lot of folks here today to celebrate this platform, and i just want to start by thanking each and every one of you for being here and helping us to get the word out, but i especially want to thank the warriors. not only have they committed to making sure that this is the

most transit friendly chase center anywhere, but they can put their money where their mouth is by making investments in our transportation system here in san francisco. this platform is just one of their many commitments to supporting transportation to chase arena for the over 220 events that they plan to host every single year. we announced a few weeks ago that any event that you attend at chase center, you can basically show your ticket as proof of payment to get on muni and pull up right to the almost front door and walk over and enjoy a good time. and then when you're ready to go, you can hop right back on muni to get back home or wherever you're trying to get to. a year ago we formed a committee to talk about how we were going to be the most transit friendly location when chase center

opened, and the warriors have been at the table, ucff has been at the table. the legislators have been at the table. i really want to thank ucsf for being here today and an incredible partner to make sure that people are able to get in and out this community, whether they're going to the hospital at ucsf or going to class or coming back from mission bay or going to chase center, this neighborhood which basically used to be a railway and empty space has now become a real part of san francisco as an incredible, thriving community, with people, restaurants, places to go and things to do. i've got to tell you, chase center is like the icing on the cake because this is where entertainment is going to happen, this is where the

championship warriors nba champions will play right here in san francisco starting this fall for the -- well, actually coming home for the second time in our great city. i'm so excited about what's to come when we open this new center. but today is about really promoting our transportation plans and how we need to get people around this area safely, securely, efficiently. the thing that people ask about the most, first of all, san francisco has a lot of congestion, but now that we're adding another 18,000 people who are going to visit this area over the course of 220 events, what are we doing? well, we got bike share, we got plans with muni, we have so many incredible opportunities for people to choose the ferry

service and transit options first. our goal is to get the word out and to hopefully when we open this amazing place we'll see tons of people getting right off at this platform to attend the first concert here and attend one of the first games happening here for the golden state warriors. i'm excited about this. thank you to the neighborhood for your patience and all the people that have had a tremendous role. i'd also like to add my real appreciation for the warriors and the four additional trains that we're going to be getting in addition to the platform and some of the other infrastructure improvements as their commitment to doing all they can to provide transit options for the visitors to chase arena. they've been an incredible partner in this city. at this time, i'd like to introduce another incredible partner, someone who's helped on the legislative side and continues to advocate for not only resources for san francisco, but continues to push

the envelope around the kinds of transit options that we need to make san francisco and the bay area a more transit friendly, a more efficient place to move people around, that's assembly member david chu. >> thank you, madam mayor. san francisco, are we ready for basketball? are we ready for the warriors? so i was trying to think of something pithy to say that would be appropriate for this day. this is what i'll say in four words: this is the station for dub nation. all right. this is ride, this journey, has been long in coming. i was just talking to rick wells about how it was eight years ago when i was serving as president of the san francisco board of supervisors, i got a call about the possibility that the warriors might move to our great city. a lot as happened over that time. i remember asking him the

question: how are we going to move 18,000 people in and out games this many times a year? today we announced we unveiled part of the solution to that blue-and-gold question. i want to also along with the mayor thank so many folks that were responsible for the day, starting with the mayor and her team at muni, along with our contractors and our engineers, our builders. of course to the warriors for your vision of what an amazing venue could be about. ucsf, thank you for not only your science but also partnership. i want to thank a moment to thank the neighborhoods, the neighbors, our transit advocates for bringing us to where we are today. i want to take a moment to thank the legislature and the bay area voters who last year passed regional measure 3, which is over $4 billion of transit and congestion funding to help ensure that we are building the best transit system in the world here in san francisco.

let me also mention today is a ribbon cutting, but this is not going to be the last transit stop ribbon cutting. as i mentioned when we were moving forward with regional measure 3 it was suggested to me and my colleagues that we also invest in a ferry system that includes a future mission bay ferry stop. if all goes well, in 2021, we will hopefully do a ribbon cutting there as well with the temporary option, as mayor breed just reminded me. let me just close by saying that we all know that the greatest 21st century cities have great transit. we know we have more work to do in san francisco, but this is one of the major stops to ensuring that we have great transit here in san francisco and here in the bay. go dubes. with that, it's my honor to introduce someone who needs no

introduction. someone who has overseen three championships over the last five years, the the of the golden state warriors. >> thank you. another great day. we have been on this journey for about seven years now. i know it's a distant memory, but we had some press conference on pier 3032 about seven years ago accepting the mayor's invitation to bring the warriors back to san francisco. obviously a lot has happened since then. two people up here -- actually, all of them, but two in particular at that point in time were critical to this project david chu in his former role at the board of supervisors was one of the first advocates for this project. it seems really easy now that it's all done. at the time he took some arrows for us and there were some times when it wasn't the easiest position to be taking. david, we owe you a great debt

of gratitude and the support you gave us then in guiding us to our new home at mission bay. i'm going to introduce this guy in a moment, but i want to say something about him before i do. chancellor hagad has been an amazing partner in getting this project done. through the time that i have known him, which initiated with this project, i've come to respect what an incredible steward you are for this amazing institution. he's a really good negotiator too. i will tell you that. he was -- you know, we had a common vision, but we had to figure out how to get there. the getting there was the part that chancellor hagood was so instrumental in making happen. mayor breed before she was mayor was a supporter. she even came with us to china a few years ago to see the warriors play there. she has -- since the time she

has been in office has been an inbelievable advocate in focusing in on what it's going to take to make this project successful for the city. i think her encouragement is what resulted in our muni program. remember that, your ticket to any event at j center is our ticket on muni. free transportation on muni the day of the event. that's an incredible opportunity. i think it's not only going to be great for getting people familiar with muni on muni. i think it's going to bring a lot of people to muni that have never tried it before because of the guests from outside the bay area and outside of san francisco who now will have an experience with muni that hopefully they'll repeat over and over again. i think, mayor, you've assured us that tom has made sure with all this demand that we're creating, that the service is going to match that demand, right? isn't that what you told me?

thanks to each and every one of you. you deserve to be up here. we're less than a month away from cutting a ribbon and welcoming our first event, metallica and the san francisco symphony. what else would you do in san francisco on september 6. thanks to all of you. i'm going to turn this over to chancellor sam hagood. >> thank you, rick. let me welcome you all here the medical center and university here. we're delighted to be welcoming the equally world class warriors to be our partners. it has been a journey as rick mentioned, but i am confident that everything is in place to make this a spectacular success not just for mission bay, but san francisco. at ucsf we strongly believe in

the mayor's transit policies. we run our electric shuttle services to keep our patients, staff, students out of cars. we promote the use of transit whenever we can. that includes allowing city employees to access our transit to zuckerberg san francisco general hospital. i would like to especially thank the mayor, who from day one has made a commitment to the opening of the chase center and the operations of the chase center the great success that i know it will be. with the cooperation of the m.t.a. for their terrific work on this new pavilion. my office is just here. i can actually see this transit center and see the chase center from my office. i believe i'll be looking directly into rick's office. we'll be able to monitor very carefully how this all works, but we're very excited about welcoming the warriors to our

neighborhood. i thank the members of the ucsf community, but the broader community who have tolerated a lot of construction including our own construction and the warriors and the transit. it will all be over soon and we'll be able to enjoy the fruits of everyone's labor. thank you for being here. it's a very, very exciting day. tom. >> thank you, chancellor. thank you again for your patience and for all the neighbors here in mission bay and all the neighborhoods who have been so patient with the amount of construction that has taken place and that has been required for a great station and a great arena to take shape here in mission bay. thank you also to our elected officials for their leadership encouraging us to put transit first. of course to the warriors for funding infrastructure investments. making your warriors ticket count for your muni ticket. i'm looking forward to seeing

what our peer cities and other teams in san francisco, thank you, madam mayor. also joined by our board member who has been terrific. thank you to all the m.t.a. members who have been working so hard for the last few months to make sure that this station opened before the arena so we've got a great facility for all the fans who are going to show up in one month. with that, let's go across the street and cut a ribbon. >> ready? five, four, three, two, one. yay. we're open.
