anything further. >> no >> commissioners this matter is submitted. >> commissioner lemberg? >> why not. there was a lot to take in tonight inspect this line item on this agenda item. i am leaning toward denying the appeal. i think -- the will upon answers to the questions we have have been answered to my satisfaction. i also you know i definitely hear the appellate argument. what i done hear was great support for their argument. and ultimate low that is what we have we have to go off of. andir am very upon encouraged by mr. buck's presentation and visual depictions of the trees.

i'm a very visual person. so seeing the visuals of the trees that were to be removed i think quelled, lot of my fears about the project. based on the briefings that we reviewed prior to today. and i think for that reason i'm inclineed deny the appeal and let the project move forward. why thank you mr. trasvina? >> thank you. president swig. i'm struck by the position of the previous item and the consideration of this matter. 've i wish that some of the what i hear emerging from this discussion was presently in the previous discussion. the discussion aboutvillid reasons to remove trees. and appreciation of it here. not so much in the previous

item. the notion about replacing existing trees was strategier trees. it is seems to be important to this discussion less to the last discussion. the issue about dog it now versus later. so i think that i appreciate all of the public comment and the various e mails this we received. over the past week as part of the materials. all of the reports. from the experts. certainly the work of the diameters and in the public. and the occurrence and the occurrence you raised about beg your pardon -- public access to the process. all of these are important. i am again i find them a close call. i'm inclineed join commissioner lemberg in how he come out but i think as we move forward on tree

cases there are alegality of valid considerationless and i justment to appreciate the work of the substantive work of the departments and the experts and the public. but i -- i am troubled by that we have yet to grasp a consistent tree of the issues. commissioner lopez. >> yea. i echo a lot of the comments of the previous speakers. particularly the mr. lemberg's or -- proper -- comments about -- the visuals being

helpful, particularly the redwood tree i ever seen. i think that back to the mr. trasvina's comments about you know the i agree that it is complex balance thanksgiving needs to occur. i also in my mind think there is a compelling interest in this project here. in a way that i was not as convinced exist in the the previous matter. and i think that given the size of the canopy that is impacted versus replace am trees and the over all nature of the project i'm skroinsed it is appropriate top deny theinally this case.

i appreciate mrs. sullivan's comments about directing the team to rep upon minds folks. of the -- the -- posture in service that we -- within the city should take. these will be public upon comment. and you you know i did know in earlier questioning being a bit concerned about this e mail and how it may be indicative of the dynamic this exists. i do think this and i understand this also going back to president swig's comments about these types of meetings and the dynamic that can exist at times

and i understand that when we as when you are slides for the upon ends state of the park are compelling as they are employs you want to get there but we are also custodians of the positions and project and it is end of the day that public upon input is why we are here. we need to have that in minds and it does seem like there was a communication break down that occur the. i do think that -- i want to applaud mrs. sullivan's comments and emphasize broadly we need to

be the bigger people, right, as you know upon the, the custodians for the city. be the [inaudible] input we may in the like to hear and receive. with that said, i would support the denying the appeal. >> commissioner lemberg. >> ed add, you do think that some of occurrence that the appellates have in this matter were legitimate when i upon don't think they are low nit mate to the subject matter of the appeal removal and replacement of street trees. and i wanted to pints this out and i did feel bad after for not having questions for the appellate had far less time to

speak as a result of our panel's questions. i do feel bad but ultimately i am not seeing a lot of evidence toward the specific replaguesment of the street trees especially after being shown the street trees removed. i wanted add that on. and i don't want this to be a deterrent to community groups or members from foil being appealos issues like this. these are big projects and issues of significant public concern. and -- my fellow commissioners said we received significant public comment on bothed sides of this. but i do think that the concerns from the appellates remember other parts of the project. and not necessary leave what is in front of us. we don't have the ability to

make will upon sweeping decisions about the entire project. we are only he were on the public works order regarding removal and replace am. i wanted to add that. >> commissioner lemberg i like to alaud you on getting us focussed on the subject of this appeal was and that's important. thank you for getting us on track. on when we are evaluating tonight. your prize is you can -- make the motion. i move to denight appeal on the basis the order was properly issued. >> okay. >> on commissioner lemberg's motion vice president lopez. >> aye. >> commissioner trasvina >> aye >> president swig. >> aye. >> that motion carries. for-zero and the appeal is denied. >> we are done. >> thank you. this concludes. see you in a couple weeks. thank you.

leadership that helped make this day realty. thank you for being a champion for san francisco most vulnerable residents. i am thrilled to be joined by marie's daughter polama and friends and families and dph colleagues and staff. thank you to dr. berry (inaudible) for guidance and (inaudible) director of marie martinez health resource center and staff of the marie for their tireless work. i want to take a moment to say this sentser a incredble accomplishment and directly speaks to the vision and leadership that marie x provided. i cannot think of a more fitting tribute to her legacy then a place where integrated multiagency approach provides care and resources to the people experiencing homelessness as well as to the medically vulnerable san

franciscans. marie always found a way to do more. to serve more, to do better. and i know her presence here will inspire all of us to do the same. many of us continue to morn her passing and i when i look what has been created in her memory i find inspiration and strength. as the former director of whole person care, marie knew the value integrating efforts across the city. i want to recognize city department partners in this effort. the department of homelessness and supportive housing. the human service agency. the department of emergency management. the mayor's office of community-housing and community development. the fire department. the sheriff department. as well as mercy housing and episcicul community service. everyone played a key role opening the community and insuring we provide first rate care to the community. now i like to welcome mayor breed to say a few words.

[applause] >> thank you so much, and it is really great to be here. already just walking through the doors, just thinking about the people that this clinic is going to serve, it is absolutely extraordinary. but i do want to start by really thanking the staff and people who work here every single day. today i know it feels great. we have this new facility but this work is hard, and the challenges that exist in our city have been very very difficult. when the public makes demands for us to deal with some of those challenges and to provide the appropriate systems of care, they don't just happen because people want them to happen, they happen because there are people who are dedicated to making them happenism there are people showing up every single day despite the challenges, disspite beal called names

because they understand the challenges with people who struggle with mental illness and substance use disorder who need to have care and support to make sure that they are getting what they need to survive and to thrive in san francisco and it is not easy. and today as we dedicate this facility in honor of marie x martinez we are reminded of advocate that worked for department of public health and dedicated her life to this mission over the last 20 years understanding it is just not one thing. there are a number of things that happen and people who have tremendous needs. the whole person from the (inaudible) basic physical needs as well mental health and those challenges stem from so many things from dementia to people who suffer with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and so many issues. you know, when i think about our country and our society and the

challenges that we face, i think about when we-it is easy to do deal with some of the physical issues like you break a foot or a leg or something and there is doctors who specialize in those things, but we have really i think failed as a society to realize that substance use disorder and mental health challenges people have sit in a category too where they need specialist and support and compassion, and this clinic is going to provide that holistic support. this place offers treatment on demand. it offers a opportunity when someone wants to get clean and sober, they have the resources to do that. and this is a location where not only the street medicine is housed, the people who are out there on the streets providing the narcan and support and help and assistance to people in need, but also our homeless outreach team, the

partnership that exist between these entities to help people who are truly the most vulnerable in san francisco is what this clinic in particular represents all most more then any other clinic that we have throughout the sit a eand county of san francisco. so, again, i want to really thank the doctors and the staff and the nurses, the counselors, the clinicians, the people who show up every single day and put their heart into this work, because you have to love this work in order to really muster up the strength to come to work every single day and to support this community, your work is appreciated. i also want to take this opportunity to thank all the various departments and agencies who helped to deliver this project on budget and not over budget. it is a over $13 million project, supported in so many different ways including by the voters of san francisco when they

support public health bonds, they support clinics like this. they support the opportunity to provide healthcare to san franciscans regardless of whether or not they have health insurance. that's what places like this provide an opportunity to help make sure that people are able to get the support that they need, and so again, i want to thank you all so much for being here today. thank you to it great departments and everyone who played a role in this. it is a lot of work and it does take a village. thank you again to marie x family and her friends and people who knew her. i know when she passed away in 2020 it was really devastated for the public health community and so i know that you know, as much as some of you miss her, i know especially her daughter paloma today missing her because you know her work and advocacy for social justice, push for creative solutions and change and as a result

of naming this clinic in her honor it really cements her leg acy of work in the city and county of san francisco so thank you so much for being here and at this time i like to introduce dr. hammer in charge of all the various clinics that serve the public in our city. we had a number of opening including maxine hall. my grandmother used to use maxine hall. so many african american seniors and clinics in the bayview and mission and think of the extraordinary histraphy of the clinics and what they provided when people in these communities had no alternative. this clinic first opened in 1917 and has been serving the community through the aids epidemic, through the fentanyl crisis and now all of the things we have to deal with and so we are really grateful for her leadership so ladies and gentlemen,
