reach the island?dvice on that, we are assessing it currently, so i can't say exactly when, but we know the urgency to go back to the island. how many people do you think are still on the island? what i can say is there have been 23 taken from the island. we are unclear about the numbers that are unclear about the numbers that are left. so there are potentially at least 27 people still on the island? potentially. how do you know there is one fatality but not more? 0ne there is one fatality but not more? one of the persons that were rescued from the island, so i can confirm that there has been one fatality. do you have any communication with anyone on the island? no. as the deceased a new zealander or a tourist? i'm sure, but there are a numberof tourist? i'm sure, but there are a number of tourists on the island. do you normally have any way of contacting the island? from my understanding, some of the tourists are from a cruise ship, so we should have a list of people that left the cruise ship and inte

and treasure island. and i agree that the nursery is a great idea especially if there's an interest of how native plants are so important to biodiversity. i think more people, not just us as the public entity, but also private citizens and residents are wanting to do more about planting native piece he's -- species in their garden so there's a whole biodiversity of life. a nursery makes sense because there is an increasing demand and there's not enough places that are propagating these types of plants, so i would really encourage us to look at that possibility on treasure island and what would it take? >> well, currently, it's under the oversight of l.e.j. >> and l.e.j., could you -- >> legacy for environmental justice. >> but definitely, we should look into explore how we can keep the nursery on the island and expand it. especially after a year we might lose that site, let's look at other possibilities. we do have an area that was meant for an urban farm, and i think this falls right into that category a

pieces as well as art on the island. we can look at this, but i have some questions later, as well. >> okay. thank you for clarifying. i'm just wondering how we can fit this art piece into our art plan and whether that would require any kind of amendment to the document or whether we have authority without going back into the document to cite this. >> again, we have all kinds of concepts and ideas right now that have been entertained, and we are partners with the arts commission. so again, as commissioner shen said, it's looking at the comprehensive, where we have everything belongs, it. it's not going to be that hasty decision. we have some space, and we have? -- we have some flexibility. we need to look at some places on treasure island where we have space, and different things will have to be taken into consideration before you can place anything permanently. >> so i think from my perspective, i think as the next step, we have definitely continue evaluating both indoor and outdoor options, thinking -- doing a little b

within the island itself. which points out how important this is for us to have alternative transit that we need to get people out of the vehicles. and part of our plan for the various transportation plan is exactly to do that. just wanted to point that out. >> thank you. >> clerk: public comment on item number 3? item number 4. communication 0 and received by tida. >> are there any questions about communications? hearing none. next item, please. >> clerk: item number 5, on going business by board of directors. >> yes, on this item, yes, i'm going to switch. >> i wanted to take this opportunity for those that are probably watching remotely, the treasure island development authority, our mission is not only to develop treasure island, i think us here have demonstrated that we have the skills to do that each and every person has skills. it's not a coincidence we're here. it's also important. we're also helping san francisco resolve a lot of the problems that its having. you need to ex down here. we have a lot of

i am from treasure island wines and the treasure island organizing committee.there was talk about it not just being decided at the midway.of 4,000 units being built, but also in that consideration we would be looking at where we were, as far as the alternative transit being part of what was going on on the island. the idea being that we really need to have viable alternative transit systems before we start moving into having the tolls. i don't see that reflected here. i am wondering if that was decided to leave that out or what? >> anybody else for public comment? i will respond to that when we done done. >> hello. my name is carol harvey. i'm an investigative reporter. i've been reporting on treasure island for the last six years. treasure island, i understand you have an exemption for the residence. on an island that has one access point to toll businesses, or anyone on treasure island is unacceptable. these businesses, vendors, will not go to their businesses if they are having to pay tolls. the businesses have employees who cannot pay tolls. these businesse

the extraordinary few moments after the volcano on white island erupted.briefly and fiercely, filling the air with huge plumes of smoke and smouldering ash. the people on this boat had left just moments before the eruption. the boat operators were not taking any chances. go inside! go inside, go inside! go inside! translation: we were on the volcano for about an hour. ten minutes after we left, and got on the boat, the volcano started erupting. the boat turned around and went back to the island to try to help the people who were still there. i'm not sure if everyone got out alive. white island is one of new zealand's most active volcanoes, but it's also a popular tourist destination. thousands come here for walks and scenic aeroplane rides. nothing escaped the devastation here, the scale of the damage clearly shown here with this sightseeing helicopter, barely recognisable under the thick smouldering ash. down the beach, a large group could be seen waiting to be rescued. at this stage, we can confirm that amongst those currently listed as missing or injure

richard branson is the you know the british billionaire who lives on a private caribbean island says he's simply interested in humanitarian aid and helping the venezuelan people and he says he's doing it this at the behest of non-elected president of venezuela but i mean you know there's a lot of questions about why he's part to partaking and participating in this event that international what i can or aid organizations have said is not humanitarian aid he is actually said total falsehoods that the venezuelan government is not allowing aid in the country. all but that's not true not only has the russian government delivered a medical aid also the european union which is to recognize one has delivered humanitarian aid through the united nations that was announced today so you know richard branson is i think he's really created this concert to to make a fig leaf for a policy of regime change in venezuela. as we go to break our quaters don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered on our social media be sure to check out watching the hawks the podcast which is n
