so we have the board of supervisors and remember, the members of the board of supervisors also sit as the county transportation commission, so they are not just kind of bringing their leadership in support from their representation on the board but also bringing the funding through the association of the prop case sales tax that is part of the funding of this. i want to thank the county transportation authority as well, for their support, and their leadership. the other leader who is a member of the board of supervisors and transportation, county, transportation commission is supervisor london breed from district five and give her a hand, grateful for her support. more importantly she is my district supervisor, she represents the district that i live in and i am kind of feeling a little less doubt here that my supervisor is not talking about the subway stops that we are going to get. so i think that we will also plan for phase four where we are going to hook a left and come back south and get subway into district five. >> don't want to be left out. >> another district five resident is

are there any comments from the board? >> commissioner wynns? >> thank you. >> i have some questions. i am wondering this charter which i have always strongly supported in part is our support has been based on our partnership of the delancy street foundation and there is no explanation here of why this is being done, further, it gave (inaudible) and found out that the staff does not know to ask the question or to wonder about some of the synergystic activities that have been done with the treat and so i am a little, and i kind of like to know more about this if possible. >> sorry. good evening, i'm terry (inaudible) and i have been the principal for life academy, for 15 years since its inception and i am also with the delancy street for the past 30-plus years. and so our school was part of the local action plan 15 years ago. and local action plan had numerous other community agencies that we started. all of which ended up being given back to the community to run. the schools just taken a little bit longer and it has always been our idea for life

the board of appeals posted. we honestly believed that we did not need to respond to this letter signed in the manner prescribed in order to strengthen our case for gaining a fair and realistic timeframe given our individual and special needs of a one year eviction notice, a time frame by the way that has always been promised to buy our landlord adil shaikh. by not responding to this notice, -- who in the past had successfully assisted us with an illegal eviction from a prior landlord. after the window timeframe for responding to the notices had expired on may 25th, we received two eviction notices signed from mr. shaik. we were told at that time that because we had not responded to the notices in time, they could not be of service to us. we feel we lost a valuable ally in this process. so it's been proven in the past to help us. why again did we not respond to the notice? the sign posted in part reads any person who deems his interest or property shall be affected by work performed. to us that phrase is crucial.

i am still very optimistic that working together, the city, the developers, our board, and your board are going to be able to put together the financing plan to provide the funds that are necessary to continue and do the development to east answer your question, it's not moving fast enough for us >> i did actually work for the treasure island development authority as a development specialist, where my primary job was attracting the film industry and at that time there were a large number of films that were renting out the hangars there for film productions. i was able to get "the hulk" and other movies here and a lot of work, but a lot of it was the city under its film commission and the treasure island development through its marketing efforts attracted the film industry and that has changed over the years prior to your joining the treasure island development authority and the number of films that have not only relocated to the island, but have relocated to san francisco in general have declined significantly and therefore, taking with them significant millions of dollars in revenue.
