and dufty together. they were both on it. >> regardless, i see now what the chain is and i understand that mr. flanagan had been of -- had been advised by city officials that he had no recourse, and that alone to me would be grounds for granting jurisdiction. i think he was misled by a city officials. -- city official. >> i would concur, except i would say it was inadvertent. nonetheless, impact was the same. >> i am going to agree. are there other comments, commissioners? is there a motion? >> i would move that we grant jurisdiction. he has to file. i'm sorry. >> do you want to make that motion with the finding that you are granting a because the city inadvertently misled the requestor into not believing he had the right to appeal? >> thank you. that is exactly right. >> on that motion by the vice president to grant the request. commissioner fung: aye. president goh: aye. commissioner peterson: aye. commissioner hwang: aye. that motion is granted. mr. flanaga, you have five days to file an appeal. it wi

dufty was glad enough to go out there and look at the property. he made recommendations to my contractor. they were taken care of and addressed. there was definitely a porch out there. these drawings are ridiculous. he was my broker, this guy? are you going to believe that a united states marine corps officer or are you going to believe this guy with the stuff that is not stamped or anything. but have drawn them up himself. there was definitely a porch out there. mr. dufty went out there and looked. it has to hold all of the porch as for the building. that is all that i have to say. i think this is a slam dunk and it is pathetic that i had to waste your time, my time, and everybody else's time. we are not out here making minimum-wage. another 45 minutes and we could have been out of here. it is a waste. i have not done anything wrong. you will most likely be hearing from this person some time. you did say that you were in contact with him on this other project. my guess is that this person is probably going to show up at some point. i can assure y

when it came down to it, bevan dufty said, after talking to the mayor, newsom made an argument as to why edwin lee should have the job. >> supervisor daly, having witnessed several progressives vote for a moderate saw the progress of dreams away. >> we ostensibly had a majority on the board of supervisors. we had an opportunity and we made the biggest fumble in san francisco political history. >> once it became clear that ed lee had the votes to win, nobody wanted to pull the trigger. so they stopped the meeting -- at midnight -- and decided to have another meeting that friday. at the end of the day, so many people had been put up for consideration, and here is the one person that had not and he ends up being the person who the board ends up with. that is a huge shock. >> when the board finally made their appointment, i was joyful because i thought it would be much more difficult. >> supervisors avalos and, thus ask that the meeting be recessed until friday to allow for a meeting with ed lee. >> i have not had a chance to talk to ed lee, any more than him, to my office and telling me

you have people like bevan dufty, david chiu, even john avalon's common john campos, and ross mirkarimi, all had indicated an interest. so you have people on the board who want to run for mayor. do they go for the caretaker mayor, or do they put those interests aside and best themselves with a politician that has a good chance of being elected? with that dilemma in front of them, we saw what happened. they could not put their egos aside. they generally would with the caretaker mayor. that person would pose no threat of running against them. >> when the board met next week on november 23, the clerk of the board proposed a process for nomination for mayor, which the board debated, amended, and eventually passed. >> a board member read the nominated may not produce pig in the discussion or vote on the competitor nominees. if the nominee of a board member nominee has been withdrawn, the board member may no longer have a conflict and could return to the room and to dissipate. >> basically, a process that i am proposing is one in which, one, would maximize per dissipation. members of the boar

dufty has said that usually before now, they sat down and work this out. this is a discrepancy that should be worked out. there has been name-calling going on by the respondent party. acting like a 9-year-old, threatening to put freight containers on the property, go ahead. put them there. what has been on that property has been atrocious. huge piles of dirt, old cars and abandoned cars for years. now they have put it hours to get this up to code. they do not a great job of running parties for 18 and over. many places to not allow that type of event. this provides a public service for the city. there is high regard in the dance community and they do the best they can and they try to be great neighbors because that is what is required of them. they don't have to have notification. wouldn't it have been great to sit down and say, this is what we're doing with our building? what is a lousy four or 5 feet between buildings? they say they are putting non hazardous materials in those storage facilities. do we know they are not hazardous? what happens if they tur
