it's likely you all know well who gail gilman is. you also know well how her tenacity has improved the lives of so many in our city. you have seen her lead a successful non-profit for years and participate tirelessly in committees and task forces to address the city's homelessness. you have seen her step up as a leader and collaborator on multiple propositions to secure funding for the city's housing crisis. gail puts others first. she puts the residents of san francisco first. in doing so she exemplifies the integrity needed to be a commissioner and more specifically to be a port commissioner so i urge you to support her nomination. >> supervisor safai: thank you. next speaker? >> good afternoon, charlie with [inaudible] engineers local 3. we represent over 35,000 surveyors, inspectors, dredgemen. i want to read a few excerpts from letter of support i emailed to you all. i'm writing in support of gail's appointment to the port commission. her firsthand knowledge of the waterfront and experience with construction and development make

gilman -- thank you to the public for coming out to support her. i certainly think highly of her as a person and certainly i think she would make a good commissioner on any commission in san francisco. so the issues i'm having is not with the nominee here in regards to her qualifications. i've been in rules committee, this is probably my fourth year being on the rules committee. and i'm pretty consistent about when there is an issue, seems this is a political move and people, when there's an incumbent that wants to continue her role in -- and get reappointed and there's other people that want to take their places, i pretty much side with the person that is incumbent showing they have been in the role. i wouldn't want to block her progress to the full board if that's the wish of the other members of the committee. >> supervisor safai: okay. so, is that a motion then to send it out without recommendation? >> supervisor yee: i'm just saying. >> supervisor safai: supervisor stefani or sheehy, did you want to say anything else? >> supervisor katz had a

i'm here to express my enthusiastic support for gail gilman. i have had the honor of working alongside her as a colleague for 15 years serving the unhoused and most vulnerable members of this community. the work she has dedicated her life to is extremely challenged yet she has never wavered, day after day she rises.

several of the points are also ones that commissioner gilman just mentioned. we obviously need simple, clear, and common definition of what a demolition is, and there is clearly a need for a task force inform immediately commence to begin work on making this happen as quickly as possible. some of the other points she made, prepermit applications to ensure that we not have surprises, that we're following those things carefully and well are clearly needed. tenant protections, the recommendation providing five to ten years of records, especially where rent control is involved, seem to be quite reasonable and characterize city goals. in addition to those she mentioned, one thing i'd like to bring up is several speakers mentioned it's been 3.5 years since we've had a joint session. and i certainly think that this has been a very productive day, and i think that we should be looking at calendaring regular joint sessions, whether they be quarterly or semiannual. this is how we should be working together to be sure we're presenting consistent and clear policy to facil

see this as the second part of a coup, the first pa rt second part of a coup, the first part being gilmand for something that was not even a crime. and then him being committed —— dilma him being committed without any material evidence that he accepted a bribe or did anything that he was accused of. in the last pa rt that he was accused of. in the last part is him being imprisoned and/or prevented from running in the election where he would probably win. does any of this matter when the fact is that a court has convicted him of these crimes, and so convicted him of these crimes, and so surely he should go to jail, it doesn't matter whether he is popular... there is a constitution, and the constitution is very clear. it is that a person cannot be considered guilty until there are clear —— appeals have been exhausted. so they really have to stretch the supreme court in order to justify allowing the trialjudge, who had devastated enormous prejudice against lula, to put him in prison. in the tape that we saw, there was some very strong, vehement opposition to lula, people watching this may be
