9:00 pm
savings we tolerate. we're watching. >> president yee: thank you. [bell ringing] >> hello, i'm esl instructor at city college. and i'm here again to encourage everybody to support the bridge funding. you've heard it from the students. you've been talking about the homelessness problem. we have the homeless in our classes. if you cut these programs, there is no bridge for them to get jobs. the vocational cutting is just a nightmare. the 90% cut of the older adult education is faith nightmare. that's another vulnerable population that can become homeless. you're a great city, doing great things. you're progressive. keep it up. because public education is in danger. we have to look out for everybody. we're connected with each other. we provide the employees for
9:01 pm
many of the jobs here in the hotel, the culinary business. we also -- we deserve to be treated with respect. the students, the teachers. they've got e-mails and working for the colleges 25 years. the fashion department walks in. oh my god, they just told us we're gone, we're gone. and it's not okay. so you do need to have a hearing. we do want accountability. we should have a comp troller. we want to be sustainable, but we want to be here for everybody. we're going to kill our vulnerable population if you make these cuts. it's sickening. and i saw those students when we brought those papers. in minutes, they're like, sign it, sign it. they said city college is our home. we love city college. that's the place for them. we want to work with the city on this. so please support it.
9:02 pm
>> hello supervisors. i came at the last meeting. i'm an emergency department nurse at san francisco general. and i am also a shop steward for cisu1021 for nurses. so i was a little star struck last night and i met a few amazing supervisors at a get together at our party with a little wine in my system. and i just wanted to say that i'm really excited i got to meet some of new person. and the reason why i'm actually here to talk is not to ask you to do anything right now, but i do want to bring to light that i am learning how to be an organizer. we have 2000+ nurses in just san francisco general alone -- well, in dph. and i know that dph takes up more than a third of our budget
9:03 pm
in san francisco. and i think we need to start addressing this as a crisis, as a team. and so i'm hoping that we can organize like we're doing with our departments, the nurses and ancillary staff and actually have all you supervisors join forces with us as as well. and hear our staff's cry for help and work together and try to address what is going on. so i have some pins for -- staffing now. if you don't mind, i want to hand you a few. if that's okay. that's it. >> president yee: thank you. next speaker. >> hi, my name is julie. i also work in the e.r. i was here last week. anyhow, on top of what krista
9:04 pm
was saying, part of the reason we're here, there is a resolution from the resident positions that we've started to combine forces with. and hope that everybody can jump on that. but it is imperative, i think, to put it lightly, for us all -- like she said -- we're working with all the different people we work with. sometimes we don't all get along, but we're in a crisis that many other departments are in, but we also the department of public health. and if you don't have your health, you don't have very much. and we take up a lot of the budget. and there is issues there that could be streamlined with staff input. but we just really hope and just really beg that you guys could all get together. i'm not even sure how this things works, but we could all get together and have a unanimous board of supervisors to help support d.p.h. would be really cool. oh, yes, we'll be bringing
9:05 pm
information by, little christmas gifts about things that are going on. the numbers. it's tragic. i had a patient in the e.r. for 25 hours in a gurney. it's horrible not to be able to do better. we've always been kind a mess, but we've done better. we can do better again. >> president yee: next speaker. >> good evening. what i want to say is it's about pipeline relationships. that means relationships with your local people. relationships with your local organizations. and relationships with your local politicians. i'm not here for the division. you know, i believe in working
9:06 pm
and having a relationship with city government so we can brainstorm on how to fix these problems. now the answer is right here. come on. it's right here with these people right here. these people have not all the answers, but a lot of the answers. this man right here is connected to the buddhist community. that's diversity. right? my man here is from africa. and he's so innovative, i'm going to brainstorm with him, all his beautiful ideas. >> next to new york. >> no, no, no. only got so much time. supervisor ronen, i know we ain't supposed to address people specifically, but to show how we all connected, you and me have history whether you know it or not. i worked with your husband, francisco, in getting african immigrant, his immigration.
9:07 pm
this man right here is from africa. he called me his son. ain't no telling what he can do. what skills he got. so we need to talk and cross pollenate because there are a lot of programs that could heal. i know bayview, it's underserved. it doesn't have the resources that downtown have per se. with the artwork, the meditation. we need that healing in the community and we need to brings things toward the middle and i want to be part of the conversation piece. >> happy holidays, everyone. >> thank you. next speaker. thank you. i'd like to put this complaint on -- how does this work?
9:08 pm
i had to file a complaint with the department of public building inspectors against a nonprofit agency called casa della. who received a $1 million grant from the mayor's office in just the past year -- or late last year. the building is out of clients with the americans with disabilities act. they currently are not compliant with title ii, with architectural access. program access and communication access. and casa villa serves many women, pregnant, and many of the females have been complaining there is no bathroom accommodations, no handrails. there is no way to enter the
9:09 pm
building. entering the building with a stroller or anyone with a wheelchair. and there is also no elevator. but the problem is, the planning department approved this building and the building inspector from the american -- the ada department, were not notified. so apparently it seems like departments are not communicating with the mayor's office of disability. and now they're forced to find a new location. and so this is kind of a burden for our clients. and in some ways, no one is holding anyone accountable to the ada accommodations and they should have never [bell ringing]. >> president yee: thank you. next speaker.
9:10 pm
>> good evening. i'm from the -- >> could you move the mic closer to you. >> good evening. sorry. thank you. i am currently homeless. i'm from the ivory coast. i heard this evening also from many of you that the city of san francisco is solving homelessness problem. and that concerns me. that's the reason i'm here. but i reside at mother brown, because it's a shelter. it's really not a shelter, it's a place you can go for food. i heard that yesterday, that there is a company trying to overtake the shelter and that's the reason i'm here tonight. i'm just trying to applied for the mama brown's kitchen to continue to operate, because, first, it helps the city of san
9:11 pm
francisco. helping the homeless people. and secondly, the most important thing for me is that this lady, mother brown, she has put 45 years in providing housing or food for people. i mean for a lot of people here in san francisco. people that are coming through san francisco. that need some assistance. and i'm currently one of them. so 45 years of really hospitality to people. and for somebody to take over the shelter is good. but i think that her dream was to help people. and that's the reason why she put the 45 years into it. and so i'm really paying back to see that somebody would take over, so i'm just begging you to give opportunity, a second chance to continue the operation so that she can continue to fulfill her dream. and that's what i'm here for
9:12 pm
this evening. i'm just pleading for you to give mother a second chance. because i mean, she's there for all of us, helping all the homeless people. and to her dream -- [bell ringing] >> president yee: thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. my name is michael williams and for the last 30 years, i pastored the st. james church in bayview hunters point. i'm a 65-year-old native san franciscan. i've lived in the bayview the last 65 years and bayview district homeowner. as i was waiting in line, i think back in the jurassic period when i used to shine shoes during the shelly
9:13 pm
administration, can't remember right now. i want to thank you for the opportunity to address this board and to read this prepared statement as well as have it read into this body's official record. i stand here on behalf of the united consular of human services located in the bayview. my presence at city hall is next to infrequent. however, today i applaud the city for the past support of the council. i would also hope that the city's relevant bodies and agencies would see the worth of the council and its services to those less fortunate. the councillors serve grandly and magnificently as its executive director. under the leadership, the agency has served the helpless, hungry and hopeless. it is known throughout the community that she goes the extra mile when it comes to servicing the agency clients and managing this diverse staff. it is our community's desire she
9:14 pm
continue to receive the full support of the city government as she sheiks to build on the legacy of the late mother brown, who sustained the council and make it a credible advocate for the marginal residents of the bayview hunters points area. thank you. >> i'm coming today, my name is kristin. some of you may have met me before. i've been in the navigation centers for several years. i've struggled with homelessness. but my reason for coming in today is to ask for personal help for somebody to underwrite me of getting a subsidy for the mayor public housing. i've been on lotteries and no had follow through and i would
9:15 pm
like to have permanent housing. well, then that's it. thank you. >> next speaker. good afternoon. my name is sarah walker, i'm a student pastor at lincoln united
9:16 pm
sanctuary church where we serve immigrant communities and refugee families. i'm also a member of the right to family campaign. as a student pastor, part of the campaign and my obligation is to evangelize the fact that all human beings have a right to be with their family. that is a right given by god, not by any government or organization. i'm here to talk about item number 191210. i'm here to speak in favor of the resolution that calls for a family visa support system. since 2012 i worked on our daca ministry and had the privilege to work with thousands of dreamers in assisting them with the application process. we love our dreamers. they are the best of the u.s. and their countries of origin. they're talented hard-working and have tremendous responsibility to provide for their families and raise their own children. they do all this and they continue to be a growing economic political and social
9:17 pm
force in this country. the stories of nearly a million and a half young people who are daca recipients are varied and complex. yet they all have one thing in common. they live in fear of losing one or both parents to deportation. the right to family campaign and the legislation proposed in the resolution for the family visa program that is before you today, would relieve dreamers and their families of the fear of separation by providing daca protections to all 12 million undocumented, while creating a pathway to citizenship. a vote in favor by you today would include san francisco in a growing list of municipalities that have passed this resolution, which includes cook county board of commissioners, state of illinois legislature, the houston city council and washington d.c. city council. our campaign will continue to travel the country -- [bell ringing].
9:18 pm
>> president yee: thank you. next speaker. my name is pastor, lincoln united methodist church and right to family campaign. we're here all the way from chicago today to testify about a national crisis we find ourselves in today and the right to family resolution we brought before you and hope that you vote on item 191270. i'm a pastor to a congregation of undocumented immigrants and refugees who find themselves under constant threat of deportation or living without a loved one who has already been deported. currently we're providing sanctuary for a mother of six u.s. citizen children, four u.s. citizen grandchildren, and a u.s. citizen spouse.
9:19 pm
under the obama administration, her case was considered to be the lowest priority for deportation, and was able to live and work without fear of removal so long as she checked in with ice periodically. unfortunately, her first check kin date after the hashtag, not my president inauguration, she was ordered removed in august of 2017. now she lives in sanctuary in my church for over two years. she represents millions of men and women in the same situation. millions of hard-working mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters and contributing members of society who live in the shadows afraid of being away from their families. a resolution you can vote on today and be part of will protect the 12 million men and women by providing daca for all. in the current hateful and polarized climate we live today, this is a way to stop the human
9:20 pm
rights crisis. please be a part of this. >> my name is sarah. i'm with the san francisco climate emergency coalition. wanted to applaud the -- how to say this, the incentization for not building this natural gas that you have acted so promptly upon. i want to thank supervisor mandelman and the rest of you. and to remind you that the next thing will be the need for an electric-ready provision is that is requiring that all new buildings that are plumbed for natural gas will be wired for electrician to facilitate the carbonization that is
9:21 pm
appropriate to the climate emergency that we've heard just the tip of the iceberg described in the deluge which our rain can be expected to start falling and the emergency that you declared in april. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> mr. president. north of market neighborhood activist. i know one person who is most happy with the outcomes of the recent election. that would be shaman, gets to move away from the seat closest to the podium. you know that, everyone that sat in that seat has come to great success. i think alan cranston started out in that seat. >> president yee: any other public comments? come on up. if there is any other public comments please come up now, otherwise this will be the last speaker.
9:22 pm
>> president yee: you need help. >> this is better. can you show the image? i guess i'm showing this image because this is a porta-potty in an area, just a few more images, and i guess what -- i think what my contention is, i'm requesting that the city clean it and just make it of use to the community instead of just coming and just throwing it away, or doing something with it. the area does need porta-potties. they need any type of place
9:23 pm
where people can put their human waste. and the area had two, now it has one and it has this one. i might be able to get the community to do some support around it, but last time we had this situation -- the last time i had this situation i called for them to just clean it. instead, they just took it away. and now it was back to people using the restroom outside. you know. i think we need some type of legislation where the community can sponsor a porta-potty and the city will come clean it. i think that's my -- that's my main issue for this. but i also want to talk about the navigation centers. these are the latest reports. and basically, when you look at the exits by choice, the
9:24 pm
homeless are not wanting the type of navigation centers that you're providing. they want something different. we need to figure it out because unseen bed abandoned and exit by client choice, that's 49%. 49% of the people that are going to the navigation centers are leaving. they're not even [bell ringing] >> president yee: thank you. thank you very much. okay. that's going to be the end of public comment at this point. madame clerk. let's go back to item number 23 and 24. >> items 23 are amending the planning code, the zoning map and is the development agreement for the flower mart. >> supervisor peskin: thank you, mr. president, and thank you madame clerk. i spoke to this earlier when the items were originally read.
9:25 pm
and i think given the importance of this, and i apologize and thank you colleagues for indulging me. it's not only me, it's supervisor haney who is a supervisor who presides over this institution in its last two incarnations over 103 years, but it's the entire board of supervisors because this is truly a beloved and cherished institution in the city and county of san francisco. i think it's important to understand what is before us, a development agreement. so why don't we start with the office of economic and workforce development and while this has been heard in the land use committee -- and i want to thank supervisor haney for hearing this twice, and supervisor safai for hearing this twice, i think it's important that all of us here and the people in city and
9:26 pm
county hear it. i would like to ask the representative of oewd to come up and give us, as detailed and compressed a presentation on this transaction as she can. and then i have a number of questions both for the department, but more particularly for the deputy city attorney, ms. dietrich, as to the city side, and then i will ask representatives of the developer, the kill roy corporation to, make commitments. ms. toppier with the indulgence of my president, the floor is yours. hold on, we'll turn the mic on. >> it's ready. >> thank you. good afternoon, president yee and honorable members of the board. thank you for your time this evening. and your attention to this
9:27 pm
legislation today. economic workforce development. i would like to start by thanking the city attorneys office, especially betsy dietrich, andrew shan for the help during the planning process. thanks to mta. and also bruce johnson and jeremie spitz from d.p.w. who worked with supervisor haney's office to prepare a plan for the enhanced street cleaning dollars. i would like to thank supervisor peskin's office for their work over the years to ensure the flower mart remains a city jewel and part of what makes san francisco unique. there are three key components i will go through this afternoon. they include the need for two projects scenarios. scenario a which contemplates the flower mart returning to 6th and brandon street after construction is completed.
9:28 pm
and scenario b where the flower mart elects not to return to 6th and brandon street. the requirements for the developer to secure a site in the event the flower mart elects scenario b. finally, the agreement to prioritize the project's phase, 1b, prop allocation in the fall of 2021. i would like to remind everyone of the amenities approved under the soma plan. as you know, under the central soma area plan, each of the nonresidential key sites was assigned benefits that the project would be required to achieve to be a comprehensive portfolio of community-wide benefits. the key amenity assigned to the project is the replacement of the wholesale flower mart. the p.d.r. sector is critical to
9:29 pm
san francisco. companies in the sector serve the needs of local rest and businesses and -- residents and businesses and have high paying jobs and career advancements for people without necessarily requiring they have a four-year degree. they enhance the city's economic diversity and our ability to weather times in economic stress. while this project has anticipated replacing the flower mart on the existing site, this development agreement addresses the possibility for the wholesale flower vendors to select an alternative location for the replacement site. the need for two scenarios became necessary last year. the flower vendor recognized that the office density along with the infrastructure improvements designed to accommodate increases in bike and pedestrian access, would result in challenges for the vehicle intensive reality of operating a major wholesale flower distribution business. the flower mart is made up of 50
9:30 pm
independent small businesses ta are largely family and minority owned. these small operators in turn accommodate 4,000 small and large businesses across all of northern california on a weekly basis. those of these florists, grocers, caterers arrive in large or small trucks, delivery vans or other vehicles where they need to load supplies. they rely on easy circulation and easy access to the warehouse. in order to ensure that san francisco is able to retain and support the continued success of the flower mart, where the development agreement structure that will allow the vendors to make an election at their sole discretion to return to brandon street or elect an alternative permanent location in scenario b. this will take place in the days following the execution of the agreement. this will allow the flowers vendors the time they need to
9:31 pm
determine their election. in scenario a, they will be responsible for constructing a temporary facility or another mutually agreeable location. as soon as the first phase of the project is approved, the developer will begin the construction of the site. once the site is ready for responsibility, they're responsible for paying the please relocation cost and moving the vendor. they'll enter into a minimum four-year lease with two one-year options with the puc. >> supervisor peskin: if we can just go past all these potentials to what is more real and likely. and that which has been discussed in intricate detail over the last many weeks and months and hours. that would probably be most helpful to my colleagues who are all relatively knowledgeable
9:32 pm
about this. so you -- we just need the last chapter. we don't need the middle of the story. >> so the city has worked with the project sponsor to develop the requirements for the future permanent location. a detailed set of standards is being developed and will be required for the new facility, including the tenant space parking and loading needs. kill roy will not be able to begin construction on the primary project until they have an agreed upon site, constructed the improvements, including the base parking, to provide a turnkey facility to the flower vendors. under scenario b, they have all of the benefits cited and you scenario a, including the linkage fee of $110 million. an additional 23,000 square foot child care center. and 1,000 square foot community room and robust site programming
9:33 pm
for neighborhood organizations that will include space for seasonal pop-up flower shops. the city will establish san francisco flower mart legacy business fund by directing a portion of the project's impact fees to a special fund held by the controller's office. these funds are intended to provide a source of stable business to a longstanding san francisco pdr operation to ensure the wholesale flower operation continues to be a resource for the many local florists, individuals who rely on the access to this longstanding san francisco institution. finally, the development agreement allows the planning commission to prioritize the project's second face allocation for roughly 350,000 square feet in the fall of 2021. this prioritization addresses the fact that unlike other key sites, they will not be able to begin construction until they have relocated the flower market to a permanent home.
9:34 pm
i have a couple of amendments and i have documents for the clerk. >> supervisor peskin: ms. toppier, through the president, before and we would all love to be in receipt of those moving papers. but as the last thing that you just said, which is there is a priority for prop m in the amount of 350,000 square feet. before we get to that, can you tell us what changes, because there is not a single member of this body, including this supervisor, who has actually read the changes to the d.a. that are before us. so can you walk us through each and every change in a truncated summarized form that is being made to the d.a., that is before this body. >> okay, i can try. >> good luck. i will start with just the simple one which is the development agreement ordinance
9:35 pm
has been amended for a typographical error. there are clarifications to the development agreement including establishment of a design review dispute resolution process to guide the build-out of the new flower market facility and that the annual payment of $200,000 in street cleaning funds for 10 years, for a total of $2 million will be paid into a fund designated by the city's controller in consultation with the district supervisor to support pressure washing and steam cleaning of street cleaning efforts in soma as designated by the district 6 supervisor in consultation with the city's department of public works. there are number of exhibits attached to this agreement that i am updating today that include the legal description of brannan street property. the updated impact fecal consultations, the key
9:36 pm
allegations under the tri-part agreement. reflected in a post development lease negotiated with the flower market. >> supervisor peskin: that was pretty truncated. so why don't we start with the tri-party agreement which is an agreement between the flower market, the killroy corporation and the vendors who were 50 in number but represented by a subset of those 50. is there anything that that tri-party agreement as originally stated or subsequently stated -- and maybe this is not a question for you because you're not a party, nor is the city to that, but it's incorporated by reference, that would prevent as i earlier stated, any member, any vendor,
9:37 pm
from expressing him or herself publicly to petition their government to talk to the press? >> my understanding -- >> supervisor peskin: i'm not asking about the d.a. i'll ask ms. dietrich. >> my understanding of that agreement has been struck and eliminated from the tri-party agreement as of this afternoon. >> has that been executed by the parties? >> it has not been signed by the parties. the parties want to reserve their right, the flower market, would like to reserve the right to sign all documents associated with the future agreements, including their post development lease and other documents all at once. so they would like to have everything in place and make sure that all the t's are crossed and i's are dotted. they intend to do that prior to second reading. >> supervisor peskin: on behalf of the city attorney's office, is there anything in the moving papers, documents, instrument,
9:38 pm
including but not limited to, the d.a. that in any way prevents any member of the public, including but not limited to, vendors or people associated with them, including their customers who are basically florists from petitioning their government in any way whatsoever? >> city attorney, also known as charles or charlotte. no, there is not any such provision in the development agreement. that would restrict speech in any way. >> supervisor peskin: and ms. toppier said the tri-party agreement was incorporated by reference in the documents that are actually before this body to approve? did i miss that? >> the key obligations under the tri-party agreement including the specifications for build-out
9:39 pm
in the improvements under scenario b are in one of the exhibits of the agreement. exhibit d. >> supervisor peskin: okay. so where are the three parties and will all of the three parties testify before this body as to an agreement in concept that has not been executed, that it will in no way abridge the ability for any member of the public, including but not limited to the vendors, to petition this government or speak to the press or anybody else freely without any reservation or encumbrance? on behalf of the killroy corporation, if you would come up here. that's the sticking point. that was the issue that almost sent this back to committee. so if you'll stand up, raise
9:40 pm
your right hand -- i'm just kidding, i can't do that to you here -- and tell me that you're representing to the san francisco board of supervisors that you'll restate the tri-party agreement to take out the provisions that we call the gag order in whole? yes or no question. >> yes. >> supervisor peskin: is there anybody here on behalf of the flower market, counsel, representative for the flower market? >> good evening. i'm the general manage other of the san francisco flower mart representing the san francisco flower mart llc formally known as the japanese market. yes. >> supervisor peskin: and while we have you up here, as to other aspects of this negotiation that has kept me up until the wee hours of this morning, are you
9:41 pm
saying when enough? >> we are still finalizing the documentation, but the item was struck from the tri-party agreement this afternoon. >> i understand that. at a high level, relative to the words in the d.a., that are before this board, and relative to the restatement of the tri-party agreement that is not before the board because we are not a party to it, are you conceptually sanguine? >> we are in agreement with the documentation, we just need to finalize it. >> supervisor peskin: okay. is your lawyer here? would >> yes. would you like him up here? >> supervisor peskin: yes. i didn't want that lawyer, i wanted your other lawyer. adam. okay. i would prefer the other lawyer.
9:42 pm
adam, if i could pronounce your last name i would use it, but i call you adam. >> good evening. i'm associated with the rennie law group. >> supervisor peskin: got it. so what i just heard was that your client -- and there is kind of two of them -- is conceptually okay with the agreement, but the final words have not been resolved, is that correct? >> that is correct. >> supervisor peskin: here's a question to my deputy city attorneys, which we now have three, if we're going to pass this on first reading, we're approving a d.a. that is not final -- that's what we just heard -- how long do the parties have to agree before this enters the record?
9:43 pm
>> the ordinance itself allows the parties to modify the agreement in nonmaterial ways, even after the -- even after the board finally act to approve the development agreement. there is not a deadline to modify the agreement before the board act, although, the board could certainly tell the parties that you're not willing to pass it on second reading on january 7th unless there are documents in the clerk's file by a certain date. >> supervisor peskin: thank you, councillor. that was the answer i was looking for. thank you, adam. some day i'll learn your last name. with that, colleagues, thank you for your indulgence. and i respectfully request that
9:44 pm
we pass this on first reading, subject to discussions and words written by a bunch of fancy lawyers that better be done by 7, january, 2020. hold on a second. toppier, what? no go ahead. better say it now. ms. toppier would like to say one more thing. >> i want to make sure the amendments get included. >> state them, please. >> the amendments include a typographical error in the development agreement ordinance. the clarifications and refinements of the development agreement including the establishment of the dispute resolution process. the annual payment of the 200,000 soma street cleaning funds for 10 years being paid into a fund.
9:45 pm
and then -- that's it. those are the amendments. >> supervisor peskin: colleagues, i'd like to move these amendments that have within deemed by the city attorney not to be substantive. and mr. president i hope somebody will second that. >> president yee: sure. seconded by supervisor safai. so i just want to -- before we vote on this, i want to give -- if you wish, the supervisor of the district, whether you have any comments or -- no >> no, we worked together on the amendments and thank you for the support of that and the folks from killroy. i'm supportive of the amendments and the d.a. >> president yee: thank you. this motion for and accept the
9:46 pm
amendments. >> clerk: just for the record, we're going to mark supervisor ronen as absent for that vote. >> president yee: yes, yes. also can i back up a little bit? i should have done this earlier. supervisor ronen asked me to excuse her from the rest of the meeting because she's dealing with an emergency in her district? motion to excuse her? seconded by supervisor safai. with no objection, then i'll excuse supervisor ronen. so what am i doing? we have the amendments passed, so colleagues, i guess we should take roll call. on the amended item. for 23 and 24. >> on 23 and 24 as amended. supervisor mar aye. peskin aye. preston aye.
9:47 pm
safai aye. stefani aye. walton aye. yee aye. fewer aye. haney aye. mandelman aye. there are 10 ayes. >> president yee: okay. so the ordinance for 23 and 24 pass on first reading. >> thank you, colleagues for your indulgence. >> president yee: sorry, was that -- did somebody say something? >> i said thank you supervisors for your indulgence. >> president yee: okay. let's go to madame clerk, let's call the adoption without committee reference, items 30 through 37. >> items 30 through 37, unanimous vote is required for resolutions on first reading
9:48 pm

9:56 pm
and e post-office box it. >> that wouldn't be a bad idea but the dust will prevent the e post-office box from bonding we need to clean the hole out first. >> so, now we have properly cleaned hole what's the next step. >> the next step to use e post-office box 2 consultants that mixes this together and get them into tubes and put a notice he will into the hole and put the e post-office box slowly and have a hole with e post-office box. >> now it is important to worm or remember when you bolt our own foundation you have to go to 9 department of building inspection and get a permit
