with respect to the two nominees, larry del carlo and larry mazzola jr., i think it is important to have labour representation. i am open to supporting mr. mazzola. mr. del carlo, his involvement and experience is something the project could benefit from. i don't have a problem moving these items for. the question that i have this the context or the form it takes. we do have a recommendation from the supervisor from the district that is a and asking -- that is asking to reject. i am not prepared to reject today. i think the board should take them and act on them quickly. i am prepared to do that. i am wondering, out of deference to the supervisor, if we could not just move the items forward with high recommendation that this point?

mazzola jr., i think labor should choose from among their leadership for bodies like tida or other entities, and we should look carefully at their experiences. mr. mazzola is a good fit for this body with his experience in job creation and negotiating contracts and other efforts, especially labor agreements. i think he is a good fit. i will be supportive of him here. with that said, and again, with acknowledgments that this team proposed with the treasure island resident, i think it is a good body of people that will bring treasure island's project forward in a quick way so that we are proud of the development there, that is equitable, and keeps in mind the people that live there. one person mentioned nostalgic connection to treasure island. my connection to treasure island is not a nostalgic, the like the history. it is about the people that live there today and struggle to survive. a lot of them are very low- income people and and this need. my connection is one of my daughter's best friends live there -- lives there. there's often not safe areas for kids to play in. my connection is abou

lastly, i want to state my support of larry mazzola jr. he brings a skill sets that is not duplicated with the other candidates. comments were made about local hire and those discussions going forward. part of that conversation has to be bought affordable housing stock for working families. you have a spot where you can address that in large numbers. moving forward, that need to be done. working families need someone who will push for them. larry mazzola will be one of those people. his experience working with people from the mission housing corporation, they will be able to help him formulate that argument and move this thing forward. i say, move all of these people forward. thank you. supervisor campos: thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon. my name is kevin. i am assistant business manager with electrical local 6. i just want to say that i believe with the current list of nominees, there is absolutely everything covered, as far as height, bulk, open space, inclusion rehousing, there are certainly areas of expertise within every can

motion confirming the appointments of larry del carlo for term ending february 26, 2013, and larry mazzola jr. term ending april 20, 2014, to the treasure island development authority board of directors. supervisor campos: as these items deal with appointments to the same body, i thought it would be important to take them together. i want to ask a couple of clarifying questions to the clerk. as i understand it, there are some differences between some of the seats. for instance, a number of the nominations for appointments are basically two items for each individual that we basically reject or approve, and item 13 is simply a confirmation of two of what months, so i wonder if you could say a little bit about what the distinction is and why these are treated differently. >> appointments of directors who are officers of san francisco redevelopment agency are effective immediately unless rejected by a 2/3 vote of the board within 30 days of its nose, pursuant to charter section 113. appointment of directors who are not city officers or are officers of the redevelopment agency are effective on a p

motion confirming the appointments of larry del carlo and larry mazzola, jr. to the treasure island development authority board of directors. supervisor daly: by just want to raise my voice in opposition to these items in reference to my comments of last week -- i just want to raise my voice in opposition. supervisor campos: i just wanted to reiterate what i have indicated before, which is i think that we should move the completion of these appointments collectively. because of that, i think that since we do not have a deadline with respect to this set of appointments, which are knock -- legally, we are not required to act today, i would simply make a motion to continue these items so that they can be brought together at the same time that the vacancy for the treasure island resident is filled. i'm not necessarily against these appointments, but i think that -- because i think each individual has something to offer, but i think it makes sense that we vote on them together. as the mayor indicated, once the treasure island resident is brought forward. make a mot

from the point of organized labor, we really want to have the support of larry mazzola jr.serves on the executive committee. he is a senior officer. i know the skills it takes and what is needed to do to run an organization like that with those budgets. we need someone from organized labor to represent us. i urge the appointment to move forward. supervisor campos: thank you, sir. next speaker? >> thank you. good to see you wall. you have some outstanding candidates here. i have known four of them for a long time. i am sold, i don't really know larry mazzola, but i know joe mazzola. all of these people do outstanding work. it is essential that a resident be on there. i stepped out to call a friend of mine. you'll probably hear his name. i told him to get an application in immediately. the young man has a family out there. that is essential. i don't think that is a good reason to hold these people up. some of these people have such a great experience. one of the things we have got to keep going in our commissions is that we keep continuity of people who have been on there, an
