dr. espinola jackson, black human rights leadership council. this weekend is the 35th anniversary of the aids walk. 18 years ago we had medical marijuana presented to the state. 10 years before that i would say [speaker not understood]. it seems like this board doesn't know the important things that we will not be able to cure aids today had it not been for medical marijuana the last 18 years helping me with hiv and age. i know a lot of people who wish they could [speaker not understood]. there's quite a difference in behavior around people who do not get medical marijuana and those who use other thing. it is crucial and it is worth it [speaker not understood] to have more peace and no violence and better types of money income if we get behind medical marijuana [inaudible]. >> thank you. next speaker. >>> hi, mr. president. my name is arlo did you every. i'm a neighbor of the two previous speakers. ~ duffy for sometime there is a fair amount of crime problem in our neighborhood and for several months, up to a year or more now, there's been a fo

dr. jackson, item number 8. thank you doctor. >> you're more than welcome. commissioners, what i decided i would do is give you history about the cac because most people don't know when the cac began. it began out of the water department in bay hunter's point and the committee members was like who are passed and gone away, mrs. arlington, mr. madison and there were others, and the meetings was being held there on 5th street at the office there. and the community was involved at that time and the purpose for the cac when it was set up to make sure that the water department and dwp would do what they said they were promising the community they would do. the main thing was the cross town tunnel. i know most of you all never heard or known about the cross town tunnel. but what happened is that after the out fall was built, then the money was gone. this are was no cross bound tunnel because the people in the sunsets, there's no way they wanted tunnelling going in their area over to the zoo because the out fall was built ten miles out into the ocean. that's where

dr. jackson. >> yes, i would like to say what really bothers me, i know it don't bother you, but when there's development going on in this city especially in bay view hunter's point, it's all super fun sites, they come up with a conceptional plan. do you know what a conceptional plan is? it sound good, don't it. a conceptional plan is a dream. and you know when you have a dream, you might wake up with the worst nightmare and that's what's happen nothing the southeast sector because i had contacted the park and rec, but i didn't attend the meeting, but the young lady called me this morning to inform me that they did pass on supporting the project, but she said but mrs. jackson after i talked to her, she said you need to make sure that you're at the budget committee meeting on july the 16th at 10:00 a.m. to talk about your concerns because people come up here and do not tell the truth. maybe you all can believe in the health department, but i gave you information about what happened with the health department and the epa, dealing in my community. co-hearsting with the people and lying. did anyb

dr. jackson? >> good morning, jackson and i didn't come to speak on this, but i am really amazed of what i am hearing here today. because, most people don't realize, but when our young people or husbands or what have you go to jail, and we are serving time as well. and those, that go, are the ones that when we try to help our young people, you know, put things on the books, i didn't know that they were taking my money like that. and because, it used to be free. and you have young people that are in the jail and they know, and the other people and you know, in the community, contact us and i have had so many people to contact me, but they were not paying then, why is there, it is something wrong with this picture. and it needs to be investigated. because, i don't understand why people are making money off of those of us that incarcerated and living in the conditions that we are life ng and has already been stated. it already happened to those that poor, you know, and the minority communities black

dr. jackson again. and you know i came before you, two years ago, and i think that the problems that you all are having, with the different departments is because of the fact that i mentioned to you san francisco is the only city that did not have a state, federal certificated compliance officer. no one in this city is complying to anything. and that needs to be checked out. why is it, that the city has been getting away with this, for quite some time, so you are not going to get no answers, they are going to come with the excuses and they are still going to be spending money that you don't need to be spending because you don't know where it went, and so i would just like somebody, to find out why is it that this is continued to be happening in this city, without a city certificated compliance officer? and there is not, none, and that is certificated, they got compliance officers. but they are not certificated. and they cannot be certificated. thank you. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please? >> i do ap

dr. espinola jackson is somewhere in the chamber. >>> yes, ma'am. >> i think she may appreciate this because what we're talking about is the neighborhood that are affected by truck traffic, freeway traffic, industrial activity, and a significant amount of construction activity. and one of the things that we know very, very well in neighborhood, is exposure to particulate matter can lead to chronic health problems -- for chronic health problems that people living closer to these emitterses such as free ways and construction sites ~ are most vulnerable. as a city, we are also aggressively developing formally industrial areas and sites with new housing, commercial space and parks. so, to address some of these impacts, it also makes sense we begin to work more closely with department of public health and the planning department on two [speaker not understood] on construction and new housing development to ensure it is pro textving -- to ensure it is protective of public health ~. the first ordinance establishes a new clean construction guidelines for public construction projects and designated a
