i agree with president computing u chu when he said there's a lot of intensity around the issues. i lived in a state where vendors had their way and it doesn't improve live ability or awe set of facts. thousands of projects are approved it's not like they're not approved. do we need to over haul sequa because a few people's abused it? i support supervisor kim's legislation it codifies the process but also facing more weight on community input. so i think we need to slow down. make sure we have the right legislation and quote supervisor wiener you said there's no rush we need to do that right. and again, the community notification is important so i think we should consider supervisors kimgz legislation and the amendments that were directed by david chiu >> next speaker. >> good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. aim pastor gavn. i'm here because the passion the 41 groups have shown in regards to the sequa. in coming here today on earth day when i first became aware of it was recycle, reduce and reuse. but, you know, and i thought about what was h

supervisor chu board president chiu shared another proposal that he wanted to vets with the folks.was an attempt to further merge the two proposals. but instead wanted discussion that happened at the committee and for at least 3 hours i think. but there's been a lot of sequa activity. we discussed it and in the end he wanted to hear comments from the public about this new proposal. and at this meeting supervisor kim is coordinating with our staff and one would revise her sequa proposal and the other would be a modified project does not need a new sequa plan >> supervisor chu stated that even though supervisor kim is not accountable he believes that a one week continuance from moped would be sufficient to work out any remanding issues and return on this coming monday. that happened and the committee continued the items for one week. at the ap c meeting supervisor kim's ordinance was heard and that commission passed a resolution that was similar to your recommendation and it was disproving of some and approving of some parts of that. they want a clarification between the supervisors

and i think supervisor chu indicated it tries pretty substantially to keep it the way it is. there's a number of smaller changes that are in both ordinances. both your ordinance and supervisor wiener's ordinance. it has altering bit to be the procedural matters before but you need to file on appeal the way it's done now >> so we take out the automatic appeal. this is the question of about how project modifications are determined and this is a question to president chiu. so when an eir is required to verify and there's no up to the present time to appeal the decision how do the projects get identified to the public and what's the specific information that's required in publicizing the scope of the project has changed? that you this is laid out in the sort of the 8th amendment. the projects shall be referred back to planning if changed. and if the project description is no longer changed then the e r os is required to put it in writing >> i said not that many of those changes are laid out in section 121.9. now what is side in 3108 some language l about modification there was ex
