and chris daly is on our list. that's the list of people we would support.want a fill-in mayor but somebody who can step in and do the job. and there are people on this board that have helped us, too. but we limit it to a certain number. and if we had a bigger number, more would be on the list. but that's where we are right now. hopefully you will do this today. as soon as you can. because we've been told already about budget cuts and all this stuff. and we need somebody who can hilt the ground running. -- hit the ground running. not someone who has to learn everything. thank you. president chiu: next speaker. >> ok. good afternoon, supervisors, eric brooks, speak being as a little -- speaking as a little grassroots organizer today and not on behalf of anyone in particular. but i will say that i second what previous speakers said about even one week, making a huge difference in the new mayor's ability to prepare for this office. you need to get this done today. you need to do it. and as far as the choice of who, it's finally time to start saying who. and i c

i invited chris daly, and i am so glad he came. where he came from was interesting. he came and supported our event. i know we cannot make a decision on who takes the mayor's place until after he is voted out, but i would like to think he would be the only one who would have things in his portfolio that the other districts could see how good he is for everyone. i know he has a strong opinion. please take into consideration that he could be a nominee to take the mayor's latest. >> next speaker -- to take the mayor's place. >> next speaker. >> i have worked with several of your. my concern is that we understand what is going on in san francisco right now, and that is that san francisco is more deadly than oakland for african american men. you will find this information that african-americans comprise 63% of homicide victims, so this is really a sad day. on behalf of a mother, she just lost her son. i am standing here because two of their mothers had a funeral for as well as myself and other mothers. now i am glad we have the america's cup coming curator -- america's cu

we met district 6's supervisor, chris daly, while he was visiting residents of an sro hotel now managed by the city. the success at the mission hotel is one example, of halting decades of decline, in the very heart of san francisco. the story of what is now district 6, is just the most current chapter of center city's long history. charles fracchia: districts began in the gold rush and were pretty much a part of all the 19th century. with a few exceptions, you've cobbled together e bunch of neighborhoods, and so districts are largely pretty much disparate areas. they take in a whole variety of different kinds of neighborhoods. in district 6, you've got part of the embarcadero, art of the old wharf area, which was always a very distinctive part of san francisco. and then you've got the rincon hill, which is pretty much gone. and then you've got that corridor all the way down to the mission, which is what we call mixed use place. so you've got that. you go down into the inner mission, which is one of the old historic areas of san francisco as well, centered around mission dolores. which w

and the south of market area, chris daly was very set against it at first, and in the end he even saidt's a good deal. ross mirkarimi, former democrat, green party member, he loves sailing. he came on board. he said if you look at the numbers, if you look at the job development, if you look at the potential to showcase san francisco, it's really hard to turn your back on it. there was a lot of arm twisting, a lot of closed-door meetings. there was a lot of public kind of chest beating saying you've got to do this for the city. this is the time for san francisco to come together in a unified voice. now we just have to wait to see -- >> belva: we'll end on that word, come together. thank you so much, all of you, for joining us here tonight. as we aappropriate holidays, many of us look forward to sharing wonderful family meals and good wines. this season two of the few wineries that are owned by people of color in the napa-sonoma valley will celebrate a partnership. we start with the story of one family who got their start by planting and picking the grapes in the field. the robledo famil

chris daly told the examiner the owners were holding out for more money. no one at city hall returned our calls for comment but this attorney says. >> the issue my clients haven't said they are going to take 580 howard in the path of the project and they haven't made any offers. so they have taken two of the five pieces of 580 howard you want them to take the rest because it's hard to run the building with only three-fifths of it. >> reporter: supervisor supervise chris daly says they are holding us up for more money. >> there is negotiation over fair market value. we want the negotiation over all the property that's going to be taken. >> could this problem stand in the way of progress on the transbay terminal? >> i don't think so. i mean, my clients support the project. they don't dispute that the properties are necessary to the project. quite the opposite. it's just we want the project to take all the properties that are in the path, not just some of them. >> reporter: which raises the important question, will the standoff stall the project? >> at the en

last week, it was -- a pretty rude reporter obviously doesn't understand metaphors, he was down on chris daly for bringing up, you know, like maybe we should test the car. maybe we should see what's going on. i can tell you if we had an open and transparent process, maybe it would be a reality show. maybe we could bring in money for this city and expose the qualities of every mayoral candidate. such as myself. and other people who may not be so well-known but might be the right ones with the true spirit of st. francis. i mean, after all, you might catch the spirit of st. francis. with that kind of fire burning, people may come to see us burn. and that's -- that spirit is strong in somebody's like myself. somebody who has given themselves to god as a kid. here's a song for you. little girl in the garden. she digs and she plants. and she plant a rose bush beside the garden path. snap, crack, mr. johnson's foot, he broke the rose bush, he broke it, it's a stem. oh, no. oh, no. little nelie cried. please, no. nobody listens to her. people blamed nellie. nellie belly swelly, nellie belly swelli. n

majority of the members present on the floor of the board of supervisors, so this is, you know, chris daly's worst case scenario, but i think not to and lightly. jim lazarus is smart and talking to our colleague sean elsbernd. last time this happened, jim was sitting in that seat over there, so he knows what is going on. if you have ross mirkarimi, david chiu, david campos, john avalos in the back watching tv, you have seven members left here, and four of these members could vote to adjourn the meeting. i mean, that is it possible outcome of the mechanism we have in front of us. not everybody thinks in worst- case scenarios, but if you have been around in politics long enough, you start to think like that. colleagues, i have passed out two pieces of paper. one is a clean version. another is a version with strike throws and underlines. it is an amendment as a whole for the proposed process that was just laid out. the fundamental difference -- there is lots of little differences, but the fundamental difference between the amendment as a whole that i will move is in lieu of opening nominations,

was the community benefits package that came out of the rincon center i want to say supervisor chris daly allocated. and they went in and made the proposals and was graded by an independent panel which a lot of the speakers are talking about today which is transparency. you want to reward -- create a really good community partnerships that will give you outcome-based results. that is something that's really promising about this. and like i said, i didn't get to see that idea of kind of a community benefits fund in which everyone comes together with their proposals about how to move community benefits happen. that's how you'll get maximum transparency. i know that's something supervisor maxwell really, really liked. just a quick update. i confirmed and went downstairs the mandatory local hiring amendments that were provided by an array of stakeholders including partners from labor, on the contracting communities, the city departments and community folks were introduced by supervisor avalos not that long ago and supervisor sophie maxwell stood up right after and thanked supervisor avalos fo

the city's transportation agency dropped the plan, though against supervisor chris daly's opposition on environmental grounds. >> just because the economy is down and people are complaining fees, it world isn't going to end -- it is going to end. >> reporter: it is? >> eventually. >> we are going to try and put that off. >> reporter: the way city leaders hope to push back the end of the world now is with a potential toll going into the downtown area. several different plans which could charge $3 in, $3 out at specific times possibly starting in 2015. >> i'm wondering what are these making up this stuff smoking? >> reporter: san francisco bar owner thinks it will hurt business, though some studies showed it helped cities like london and stockholm where such a see if already in place. as for bartender davis who may still have to pay a toll to get to work -- >> i can sneak through that. i'll just park on the other side and walk. >> reporter: that's fine with the city. keep his car from the downtown area. what it means today is that the study continues and as we mentioned it could be in
