i have not seen anybody drunk. the people i know that go there regularly note not to have people to close to the door. it is a busy intersection. it is a great neighborhood. these people are wonderful addition to the neighborhood. >> thank you, my name is mark. i have been to the restaurant many, many times. i think it is fantastic and clean. my concern is that if they left, most likely, there would be another restaurant and we would be in the sense of situation again. what i'm most like about clair, you may not know that she is a physician, she is obviously a very compassionate person. you would have to be somewhat reasonable to have that position. sergei and claire are willing to work with these people. they are not vindictive. they want to make sure that the restaurant prospers. you want the whole neighborhood to enjoy it. i live right across the street. it is very loud. it is noisy. what i have noticed is that you want to move to this very quiet neighborhood. around 2:00 a.m. it is very quiet and somebody will b

i think you have an extremely responsive. i think there will be great owners and they will be an asset to the community as well as the neighborhood. i appreciate your time. president mazzucco: thank you. >> i have a family and a small child. in a small business. i tell you this because i am 44 and i am an adult. i do not go to nightclubs. one of my favorite places to go is the buccaneer and that is because of teague and the kind of operation he runs. it is comfortable and quiet, a place to meet my friends, many of, are here today. have conversation and enjoy professionally run bar. i came here because he deserves a fair shake in this business venture. president mazzucco: thank you. >> i am a born and raised in san francisco, moved away, and came back because i love the energy that san francisco has and the nightlife and restaurants and the whole neighborhood environment. lately it has been difficult to find good establishments with music and food for adults. i know there is a lot of night clubs out there. the fact that this es

may i have the overhead, please? on august 26, my neighbor and i were attacked by patrons of gambrinos. i am convinced that the attacks were coordinated by the owner to take our cameras, with which we were photographing numerous violations. we were a photograph ingot drunk people assembling on the sidewalks after 10:00 p.m. the police was called. the employees told police that they can be opened 24 hours a day. the decor is that of a sports bar. since these pictures were taken, they have added another big screen tv, making it clear, its intent to continue being a sports bar. boys level and patronage on game nights are extremely high. it is a nuisance to the neighborhood. with regards to petitions, natalia and i submit the letter signed by 47 residents within the area. these are the same neighbors that were notified for this hearing. they are true neighbors. if i offered beers to signatories, i would easily have 1000 signatures or if i included family and friends. only five signatures of people in the same area. 1 of t

>> i have not. as i looked through their web page, i have primary interests. i am a development officer at st. mary's college. we have 31 veterans, and many did check on that today. one is career services. i have seen a lot of my friends come out and have trouble leveraging their experiences and communicating the value of their experiences to the civilian world. and the second is education. i had the benefit of the gi bill that allowed me to get my master's degree, but i have seen others struggle with that. it is not as simple as having those benefits available. how do you take advantage of that, how do you deal with family life and work life and to stay committed to that cause? there were hot to specific areas where i have not been helped. >> you said you applied a year ago? >> as soon as i came back. >> there was an open seat a year ago, but this is the first contact have had with the city. supervisor kim: jordan towers. >> good afternoon, a supervisor. i am in the iraq war veteran. i served in the united states marine corps in the infantry. i returned home a

i kept my promises, and i have delivered results. i would be honored to be your mayor and honored to have your vote. thank you. >> election day is november 8, 2011. that is the last date to vote in person and the deadline for receipt of vote by mail ballots. for more information about the november 8, 2011 election, this it sfelections.org or>> of the s and sfg tv have brought to bring you statements by all four candidates for sheriff. >> my name is chris cunnie and i'm running for san francisco share of. i grew up in san francisco and i have been working to keep san francisco unsafe for just about my whole life. we're facing a critical moment for safety right now because of the progress -- a process call realignment that the state plans to send hundreds and maybe even thousands of prison inmates back to our city. that means keeping san francisco safe right now is going to require a lot of diverse skills like experience running jails, experience treating inmates said it comeback to jail and experience at every level of law enforcement.

>> thank you for having me. i do have to point something out. i was not the president of the california police officers association. it was the california police chiefs association. i spent 21 years in the city of torrance in southern california before coming up here, a city of to under 50,000, about 350 personnel. -- 250,000, about 350 personnel. much smaller organization. completely different type of agency. but one of the things we found was to my career and particularly at the beginning, there was really no classis% -- classes pe se, and we started a course on how to be a successful chief. a very strong component of that was an ethics, and what is the chief's responsibility within their department relating to at the experience included in that, it had to do with the abuse of power and misconduct. i was -- i guess you could say "a whistle-blower." i put together a case in which three officers i have worked with had been nearly to deaf a game and what they were off duty. -- nearly two -- to death a gain man -- a gay man when they were off duty.

and this is what i have received. i worry for those who have not received the same. thank you. -- >> i live at the corner of sutter and mason, right next door to a dormitory. the buses to come to pick up the students who sit in front of the dormitory and sometimes instructed the city bus so that when i take the bus, i have to go out into the street to get this. i am asking that the environmental impact study consider the exhaust from these buses that are sitting idle. thank you very much. >> thank you. -- >> i am barbara graves, i live next door to an academy building and i will divorce myself from my feelings of positive creativity and contributions to the community that the academy brings and think about for a moment as one of the largest landowners in the city. what this means is some responsibility comes with that position. and if we divorce ourselves for the moment, this is pollution where we don't know the source. when you are talking about the academy -- we know where the pollution is coming from. a single transit bus, even with a modest filter and biodiesel, p

in that same time span, i have missed one. i cannot speak for what other members of the board had done. but it is very clear in the law and very straightforward. >> thank you. this is a lightning round question, so raise your hand. do you support the central subway rail extension to chinatown? ok. i am going to start by asking you, dennis herrera, you did support it at one point. now you very publicly do not supported. what you tell the people of oregon, perhaps from the southeast section, which will be on the second extension in chinatown or the people in chinatown and have some of the most heavies' it transit rider chavern san francisco that you do not want them to at the subway project? >> what i would say is it is not the same project the voters voted on in 2003 when it was 60 -- 6 and 50 two million dollars, and now it is a $1.6 billion project. and it was supposed to connect communities, and it was supposed to be part of the four corridors' plan. it does not connect communities in my opinion any more because of the route

i have worked side-by-side with marquis. i know what he has done and the commitment he has had to the movement and protecting our rights. i have been a protest lithium and some of the other candidates. i support them all, but i wanted to let you know my thoughts. >> my name is louis, i am a patient for about six years now. and i highly recommend marquis ausby. i have personal experience as a recipient of the work that he does with the access of love, he is at all the meetings, it is very supportive of people, medical canada's patients, and i have had a problem with that like all of us have. i have gotten to see that, i can't think of anybody more qualified. as far as all the other person's, i can very much recommend each and everyone of them for the other seats. supervisor kim: are there any other speakers for public comment? public comment is now closed. i do want to thank all the members of the public that came out for this item has yet to the applicants. how want to concur with one of the public speakers, fred. i think eve

i have three kids at paul revere. i have the same problem that all the parents have. the principal knows that i am here and i'm coming with other parents to let you know that my kids have been traumatized with all of the punishment that he is receiving. the principal is complaining that we do not go to the meetings, but when we go to the meetings, she does not listen to us and sometimes we want to shake her hand and she does not shake our hands. i would ask that you do something about it to resolve this problem, not just for the parents or the teachers, but for the kids. [speaking spanish] i do not think it is fair that she told my kid that if you do not behavior self, you should leave and go somewhere else. we tried to talk to her and make an appointment but we haven't been able to. [speaking spanish] i would like that you do something about it, maybe replace her with somebody else or talk to her or try to resolve the problem. thank you so much and i hope to hear from you with some answers for the problems we're going through. >> hello, my name is jamie. [speaking spa

i have the trait as well. [laughter]. >> as you are thinking about that, i would like to ask you to give us one more. there are 2 completely surprising and interesting substories woven through this narrative of your brother, 1, your fabulous aunt character in mexico getting frosty into mexico and running around with frita caller and your discovery of apples? >> this is astonishing, are we talking about the family past apple? >> both and the way thing danagers come together, yeah. >> kind of astonishing, again working on the idea that everything is passed down in families is it or is it not or is it coincidence. my father had a difficult relationship with his father from mexico. we knew our family had this chain of nurseries from mexico. i never understood because my father would change tg subject when his name came up. our grandfather was an orchardist at the turn of the century. >> which you hadn't even known. >> i didn't know it until i discovered this at the archive when i was trying to page through all of t

i have been a regular member of the task force. when we were forced to close, i was actually the community out reached for ctenophore an organization to establish good will relationships with many entities in the neighborhood and community members of the mission neighborhood including the pta, the health center, and various other charities and organizations. i hope that you will perceive me as the ideal candidate. >> are there any questions? thank you. we did here marquis ausby a few weeks ago however, you can come up and say a few words. >> hello, i am a patient advocate. i am also a member of students for medical cannabis protections. i have been working with the medical cannabis taskforce since i became a patient earlier this year. i started learning about the laws and regulations of medical cannabis and cannabis in general. i cannot put down a book or a sheet of paper or anything of that sort. so, i decided to start advocating for patience and getting to know all that i can and to better help the youth, the elders, the low incom

i have worked hard to protect and expand health care, which is why nurses have endorsed me. one of the other things that is important in my candidacy, i will be 100% independent of power brokers. i, with all of the experience and discussions i have had with you, have come up with five policy booklets. it allows you to hold me accountable. over 130 propositions on how to improve sentences go. thank you very much. thank you. [applause] >> thank you for your brief opening statements. you will get a chance to expand on everything you want to talk about tonight. right now, we will proceed with journalists. then we will ask questions to the candidates of their choice. that means that not everyone will be called on. i will call all the journalists in alphabetical order. after that they will initiate, maybe, a lightning round to all candidates that may consist of yes or no answers, horror hoorays hands. candidates will have one minute to answer each question. >> thank you, sheriff. great to be here. [unintelligible] my first question is, we want to avoid scripted answers. what with y

i have been doing it for two years. just wanted to say that one thing i support about the legislation is the requirement that people who abuse animals are investigated and reported, and that information is made available. i think this adds legitimacy to the legislation and that it is coming from the right place. for someone who has been doing this for two years, i was a little upset to see such an affiliation. what scott has said, they were not part of drafting it. when i with starting line business, i was going to go ahead and enroll in that, and i decided not to. they used to have a couple of training as a year, and i was looking for the calendar next april when this legislation would take effect, and there are four in that month, where there are normally two or three a year, and the tuition went up. tisch i do not really think it is inappropriate for them to be so involved maybe with the legislation. it seems that maybe there is a potential for conflict of interest. they stand to make a lot of money. the number of do

the last card i have is for carol. >> i am mel. i have spoken many times before on issues like this, but i will do something different. i will list things that seniors and disabled need, whether the sro is not for profit or for profit. ours is run extremely well. i live at the vermont hotel. it has a working elevator. it is kept working. no one would go in there until there was one. two, we have case managers changed and front desk workers trained on issues that seniors face that others do not -- have not faced yet. 3, no sro should be operating unless it has janitorial staff and case managers. four, mental illness set in, wheelchairs' are required, walkers are required. if they do not have an elevator, they should be down in the first floor. and lastly, a licensed clinical social worker with proper training can supplement and support the case managers. ours has one. thank you. supervisor mar: thank you. next speaker. >> hello. none of these issues are really knew. i believe the city and county and board of supervisors are ripe for

i did not have anything more to say other than i did get rid of what i have prepared to say. i will leave you with us thought that i invite you to look at the area. go visit 202. go visit 203. you might take a look at the abraham lincoln memorial that is located a few steps away. the reason i think that is pertinent as i have been to several of these meetings, and the slippery slope argument has been surfaced several times initially ridiculed as silly. and i do not think it is silly. i think it is a serious issue. they wanted that memorial in lot 202. if it were not for opposition from the neighborhood, it would be there instead of where it is currently. look at 200 to, and 203 come and go look at the abraham lincoln memorial parkway ibrigade. thank you. >> richard. >> good morning, commissioners. i have gone and taken the trip there. i have taken a walk through. and i have always noted the hides of the harbor when i go to look around at the sea wall. have you ever looked at the sea wall? it is underneath those rocks. i went there and took a look around. i tried to stay open m

i have a 9-year-old and i have a 7-year-old. i gave birth to a healthy baby boy almost 20 months ago. >> we met christina meadows and kristine taylor at the tennessee prison for women. both were eager to talk about their children which made the graphic details they shared about their violent crimes all the more shocking. >> i did so much damage they said that i had to have a weapon which i didn't. >> it was almost like an al pacino movie i guess you could say. very brutal, bloody. >> christine taylor serving 12 years for aggravated robbery and kidnapping told me about the eight hours she held a friend captive and brutally beat her. she had accused the friend of stealing from her. >> burned her on her face. i burned her on her sides. with a 12 gauge shotgun i pistol whipped her on her hip. she was disfigured, i guess. her face, couldn't really look at her and see it was her. >> christina meadows also knew her victim. she and her cousin got into a fight that escalated into a vicious assault. >> i hit her so many times in the same s

i probably have a number wrong. i wonder if the stature of the jury in the architecture of american government could not just be a check only on judges but also as the last bastion where somebody who is put upon or set upon by political forces can get away from the political forces that most lend themselves to corruption, governors, assemblies, and get "-- and get themselves before a random group of their peers at it as a slightly -- a slightly larger significance as a check on you all. it is also a check on all of us and the rest of the system of government. >> i think that is probably right if you believe that juries law.gnore bthe they might think the law is producing a terrible result and i think they do that sometimes and that makes them a check on on thege's but also legislature that enacted a law to to apply negative in the situation. i am a big fan of the jordan accord is, too. >> linney ask you a final question -- let me ask you a question -- the jury has a fact- finding role -- what is the role of a court o

one thing i have done, and i was appointed to it -- i have been known to say that one of the things i say in my office -- we have the structural integrity unit, and the evidence and the credibility of the witnesses, this is presented to make certain that we have the transparent and fair trial. i am aware of the misconduct, and i think that this is a shared responsibility. when i was in the loss angeles police department, i was one of those who was asked to look at the breakdowns in the aftermath of this incident. this was involving several gang officers, and it was determined that they have lied on police reports. and this resulted in the conviction of some individuals. i was taught -- involved in the assessment of the breakdown. one thing that was very obvious to me -- there had been breakdowns in police leadership, but also in the whole criminal justice system. the prosecutors were too willing to hear a story that was not believable. there were members of the defense that did not do their job the way that they should have. and they should have been more circumspect about what was be

because i did not have the formula. either i did not have the chamber support and all of that and i did not have labor and democratic party, so i was definitely going to lose. my opponents definitely got all of those endorsements, so we actually had no choice. we had to do campaigning the hard way. we had to go hit the streets. we door knocked almost every day. i was door knocking most days, film banking personally. we were always out on the street. i was trying to meet more voters than any of my opponents. and i think that was the formula that worked for us on election day. what we did anyone can do. anyone can go door knocking, but it is really hard to do it well. it is incredibly physical. there's a lot of people involved in it. i was really lucky. my background as an organizer certainly helped because all of my friends were organizers. we were very lucky to have most of the organizers in the south of market tenderloin working on our campaign, so we have that level of expertise in terms of outreach in the community. >

one time i saw the drunk couple having sex. drug customers that were smoking in front of the laundromat were blocking my way and were making jokes about me in russian. i could not understand what they were saying. they harassed me by yelling at me not to report this to the police. another day, i walked around the neighborhood. sergei followed me taking pictures with his camera. a large number of our neighbors -- >> thank you, ma'am. are there any additional speakers in support of the d.r. request third? seeing none, a project sponsore? >> victor on behalf of bistro gambrinus. the permits seeks to change from a small service restaurant to a full-service restaurant of the eastern european cuisine and beer and wine. there is something i across the street from my place that is not that different. i enjoy a nice meal. it is very appropriate that this is coming after the mirkarimi legislation earlier today. it is in line with that type of small, international cuisine. it was smart -- started by a young immigrant couple from eastern eu

out on what i have gotten from the school. please reject this proposal. thank you. president olague: i will keep reading names. genrietta. >> good afternoon, commissioners. my name is david. i've been going to this school since preschool. i continue to enjoy it to this day. in 1989, my parents decided to take their son, my older brother to the school and move from russia to america. they wanted me to experience the american dream. as jews, they wanted to escape the eight they were experiencing in russia. -- the hate they were experiencing in russia. is true we do not have conclusive evidence these antennas can cause any harm to anyone. is also true that we do not have conclusive evidence that cannot cause any harm to anyone. the hebrew academy has kids as young as three years old within 35 feet of the proposed site. we do not know and may never know for sure, but we cannot use these precious in-as experiments. i am sure the opposition can give you what they see as conclusive evidence saying it is not dangerous. in the end, the

president newlin: i have one for staff. we do not have the input from the police department, or we do? we do not. i do not understand conditional approval. >> unless i have the signoffs, it is always a conditional grant. we're asking for a conditional grant. we would be willing to stipulate that we will come back before the commission once there are conditions proposed by the police, which we can then discuss. the conditional grant is, we will not be open any time in the next six months we have lots of time to talk about conditions. we're under a time crunch with the planning commission. president newlin: 6 months, is this all going to be completed before you open, the construction? >> no. we have some time. are we going to open the existent place while we are getting going? this has to go through a conditional use and planning, it has to go through a lot of hoops. just to get a demolition permit on something like this, it is the lowest level. >president newlin: this is long- range, something in the future. right now you wan

i normally don't have notes. in this case, i wanted to make sure that i did not miss any points that i needed to cover today. secondly, i chose to address these accusations directly rather than try to do it through a series of continuous statements. that is the person that herman cain is. is to take my message directly to the people. with respect to the most recent accusation, i have never acted inappropriately with anybody, period. i saw ms. gloria allred and her client yesterday in the news conference for the very first time. as i sat in my hotel room with a couple of my staff members, as they got to my -- as they got to the microphone, my first reaction was that i do not even know who this woman is. secondly, i did not recognize the name at all. the time that she referenced was during the time that i was the ceo and president of the national restaurant association. it is headquartered in washington, d.c. where about 150 workers work. and we have about 150 people in chicago where she said she worked for our educ

i have a small business, i can't afford a lawyer. i have been trying to do business and i have been denied. tell me, where do i go from here so that i can have the opportunities that everyone else has? anybody. the port authority? the housing authority? >> we will have one last person. >> i am going to be very quick. i would like to say that the majority of us here are contractors, consultants and we offer professional services or whatever it may be. we are accustomed to getting paid at the very end of the 30 days. not to be disrespectful, but it would be really great if we can get all of our checks on time. you get paid, i am assuming, every two weeks. imagine how it would be to get paid every 60 days and you're trying to run a small business. that is the first thing i want to say. just to be mindful of that, i wanted to follow up -- we have come to these meetings and events and we talk about what we want and what we don't have. i don't know if you heard, he basically said that he would want to talk or some of the other departments

i have gone through some changes. last year, particularly around the time of the signing of the financial reform bill, i had decided i was going to make this my last term. i spent a very busy and somewhat stressful for years with the financial crisis, dealing with the crisis and then dealing with the legislation to make it less likely we will have another one. i had as is appropriate and dispirited campaign for reelection. my view was i could do my job best fighting for the public policies i care about by making this my last term. and then a funny thing happened on the way to retirement. a very conservative power -- republican majority took over. it seemed some of the things i had fought hardest for could be in jeopardy. financial reform which i anticipated the conservative republicans who are running the house to undermine, and additionally, i was afraid that given the need to do deficit reduction, this conservative majority would seek to block any increase in taxation on the wealthiest people and would seek to protec

i have a bronze star for saving a man's life. i'll do anything to protect my country, and i'm right now doing everything i can to protect my country one person at a time. thank you.

independence -- while we may not always agree on every decision i have made, you can trust i have madehe not based on ideology or special-interest, but based on my independent judgment for what is best for san francisco and. i want to thank you were carrying about the 21st century san francisco. i ask for your support and for one of the three votes you can cast in november. thank you very much. >> election date is november 8th, 2011. that's the last day to vote in person and the last date for receipt of the vote by mail ballots. i am a people's candidate and running a people's power campaign, so we will see if you grab. the issue for me is regime change. we had a ricoh felony going on in city hall. racketeering, and flows organization, and somebody has to step forward and talk about organized crime. we need to put an end to it, but we will never prosper in san francisco. we have a long way to go. i am running for mayor because of my discussed at the criminal nature of the system going on in city hall. that said, there's four things that need to change. it would be our banks. we need to

i have a couple things i wanted to add. as supervisor campos mentioned, if we have an issue concerning the cost to the city so far and the different services to put down our protests, i would like to see something about that. also with the raid did that happen over in oakland, rumor has it that some of the san francisco police force was involved in that as well. and i would like to take issue with that and find out if that is true. the resolution that we're passing does protect us for our amendments, and i would like to see that included in the resolution as well. thank you. >> hello. what started these actions was attention to changes over the course of the last 30 years in income distribution and political corruption by money. but the other thing that has changed radically over the last 30 years is our relationship to public space. it has evaporated, become privatized, become securitized, especially in at the last decade in the wake of 9/11. it has become much more difficult to exercise first amendment rights. and the othe

i have a few cards i can read. please come on up. diamond dave, [unintelligible] penny -- i cannot read the last night. cynthia -- i cannot read the last name. paul girello. >> good morning, supervisors. my name is stephanie tepper, a spokesperson for the medical can this task force. i am here today to thank you for standing up and taking leadership on this very important issue. over the last 10 years, the state of california has engaged in creating laws in local jurisdiction to transparently regulate medical cannabis facilities throughout the state. there were promises made, and direction given by our leaders, and as a result, we have had a community that has been very invested within their community and very invested in a transparent process. so for us to have the blanket pulled from right underneath this is unacceptable. in addition to this being an attack on patients access to medicine, which by the way, an attack on a facility is an attack on patients, they're innocent bystanders, too, that are also under attack. those are the l

i have been forewarned by mr. belafonte, he told me it did not matter what question i asked, he was going to get to the answers he knew was important to the audience. make my job really easy. i just want to give everyone some background and talk about hollywood a little bit before we jump into the activist part. what do you consider was your first big break in hollywood? and what was it like back then as a young actor trying to get into hollywood? >> first of all, can you hear me? >> [unintelligible] >> first of all, i am looking for my first big break in hollywood.
