i talked to bev and dufty, i talked to beau hayward. it got so bad that we were engaging enforcement. enforcement was doing sound checks repeatedly. i think at least nine times the sound checks were done, and he was in violation of his conditions of use. the noise was so lloyd and so pervasive across the street -- loud and so pervasive across the street. it was closer to a bar across the street, you could actually hear trigger, and you could not hear the cafe, which is also a dance club. we decided to get together in february, because we didn't want to get to this point, as dennis mentioned, and we agreed to reset the clock. the agreement was between everybody in that room, which dennis has outlined, was that by the end of march, greg would be compliant. greg committed to that, and mr. paul committed to that. we talked about it. everybody in the room. so end of march comes by. we do a sound check. guess what, he's not compliant. he hasn't done much. so then we have sound check done at the end of april. then another one done at the begin

dufty, and others have held target accountable to their financing of certain campaigns. i also want to say from the target representatives that flew out to our land use committee meetings -- i think they have been very transparent. most of the residents from the richmond district, which is on the edge of the site on geary and masonic -- most people are supportive. a handful are concerned about the attack on a box scores. i hope to work with them on looking at economic impact reports on large for miller retail sites like this. as a former sharper at sears when it was there, and toys r us when my child grow up, i see that it is a sight that can be used by a set like target. it will also help the office depot, the subway, and the smaller stores that are there. i will support this. like supervisor mercury me, my hope is to hold target accountable -- like supervisor mirkarimi, my hope is to hold toward accountable. as far as transit issues, target and their representatives have been meeting to address traffic safety issues. my appreciation to target for reaching out to parent

inspector dufty did make one point that i was going to make. the notice of reference does not reference the washing machines at all. if they would like to have department of building inspection do another inspection, maybe we end up here with a notice of violation that actually deals with the washing machines, but we do not have that issue in front of the board right now. instead, the issue we have right now is a notice of violation for repairs to the deck, and once again, it is very, very difficult for these tenants to end up in a scenario in which they are not in front of this board or in front of the rent board when they do not have an answer from their landlord about what he is intending to do. they have not got an answer. i personally have written a reasonable accommodation letter on behalf of sherida ireton and sheriann ireton over one month ago. he has never responded. these are separate issues but a pattern of practice which has brought us here. once again, the narrow issue is that the opponents would like the board to preserve their lo

as supervisor weiner has indicated, he and i, along with former supervisor dufty, have met with target and community leaders to discuss how target can frankly make amends to the lgbt community. i hope target continues to engage in those discussions, irrespective of what is approved by this board or the planning commission. for a target like corporation to be successful in a place like san francisco, it has to be sensitive to the values we hold dear as a city, protecting and respecting the rights of all people. we look forward to continuing to work with target in that effort. i also want to acknowledge the work of a supervisor -- of supervisor farrell, who has gone out of his way to bring people to the table. i think it is also important that we in the lgbt community become involved. at the end of the day, nothing is going to happen unless that involvement takes place. thank you. supervisor mirkarimi: thank you to supervisor farrell, and i agree with supervisors weiner and campos on the larger issues. on practical issues, this building is also on the border of district 5. for about 16 m

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

the issue of the penalties was discussed last november with a meeting with supervisor dufty about the project and we informed them that they can come to see board of appeals to request jurisdiction. they failed to file an appeal. that advice was given in november of last year. they did not file the request until april of this year. then they missed their first hearing on this. it seemed like it was an error on when they put the item in their calendar. we think that the violation had gone on for far too long. they were forced by the planning commission to come into compliance and they finally did so but in the past few months we have uncovered more issues. sound was continuing to be an issue and we sent an inspector out in july. they observed this smoking area which was supposed to be closed. this would violate the city's second hand smoking ordinance and a violation of state law. they might be able to answer some questions what triggers with the compliance. they have been smoking they're in violation of the law. they are operating in violation of the city law, and they have not made g

she was one of the few people in libya to criticize the dufty regime will it was still in place. -- gaddafi regime while it was still in place. >> he listened for an hour, then he asked what i wanted. i said, that social justice, separation of powers. i could not tell him that his green book was wrong. i just said that people cannot understand it yet. >> gaddafi demanded that she blog more favorably about him. then she was arrested. now, she can return to the place of her interrogation. >> i will never forget this. i was taken here on february 16th and they interrogated me from nine in the morning until 1 at night. this is a symbol of repression. >> this building is to be a central part of the security apparatus. hundreds of dissidents are said to have been imprisoned, tortured, murdered here. the offices are packed with mountains of files. the regime seems to have spiled. -- spite of this about every one of its citizens. -- spyed on just about every one of its citizens. there are also photos of people wanted by the regime. they're not just watching ordinary citizens. >> the also spied on t

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

next up, bevan dufty and tony hall. >> i am on the to be running for mayor of our great city. i served for eight years on the board of supervisors representing district 8, but i was also director of neighborhood services for five and a half years, and i ran the city complete department, and i always said an angry customer was my best asset in helping to see what was working and what was not working in our city. it might be streetcar that did not show up or was 30. it might be a pothole that caused a car to break its axle or a bicyclist to break their elbow or a family struggling to make it in san francisco like my family struggled as i was raised by a single mom growing up in new york city. i think our city could use someone who has run the city's complaint department to be mayor of san francisco because i believe that fixing the big picture is about having the basics work. about you walking out of your home and having that bus be on time and clean and a pleasant ride for you. about not having someone drunk and passed out on the street as you are trying to walk to school or wo
