islands. the amazing artifacts and frescos that we saw in the archaeological museum were excavated from here. sophisticated and beautiful, the frescos show scenes from daily life 3,500 years ago, like this one of two children boxing. akrotiri was a prosperous settlement in the minoan civilization. it had paved streets lined with houses, each connected by a sophisticated drainage system. when the volcano erupted, in about 1500 b.c., the city was covered beneath a thick blanket of pumice and ash. like the town of pompeii in italy centuries later, the structures below were suspended in time. the island's volcano has left another gift: santorini's famous black beaches. these long black stretches of sand and pebbles delight tourists who come to swelter in the scorching sun. the beaches get blistering hot in the afternoon, so you'll definitely need shoes or sandals, as well as a mat to sit on. while the popular beaches of perissa and kamari get very crowded in the summer, if you head further north,

they are out on the island and do not have many of the same things we take for granted here. we have seen it when we discussed bus service. we saw at the school district when we discussed deliberations on the closure of the school. already, we have several thousand san franciscans out there. we have folks who are formerly homeless in terms of many of the programs that are on the island, and it is separated physically from the rest of san francisco. then, we went and got to get an island resident, which is by no means -- i'm friendly with mr. stephens, but in no way is the in my political camp or a close ally of mine, but he is a san franciscan who has been active and has done good work. if you look at his seat, larry mazolla, jr. has been appointed to succeed him, and that appointment was made without any assurance to island residents that there would be an effort for proper representation, and it was not until they started e- mail in me that the mayor's office started changing their tune. and for a resident of the island to have to apply, and that seat that he has to apply f

there's a picture of the island after the c.b.c. cleaned it up and turned it into a modern air base you can see some of the temporary cemeteries there's thirty three twenty six twenty five this is part of the old pier right here the island basically had forty three cemeteries and in any building into a modern air base they basically erased some of the senators. louis hagen has been working for the australian government as a contractor. he has made some unusual discoveries wrong rebuilding base use infrastructure and you know there was one instance we dug out of the water table this is the one that stain was very interested in and we found it really in complete skeleton still had partial uniform boots watch and a bit more because a lot of the the i was how much did the metal yes or rather the rather the white a little the line in the front of the was. part of the last one i was with the if silly side of yes and nothing else up now. so you told somebody in a government u.s. government about this. that the project engineered the projec

of the current share -- chair of tida and treasure island resident owen stephens. when these appointments surfaced and when chair stephens was not reappointed by the mayor, residents, the folks who are active on treasure island -- i believe unanimously -- weighed in in opposition, and this is difficult because these are technically redevelopment appointments that are effective if we do not act by 2/3 vote right now to reject. but the past -- teh ask -- the ask from treasure island is to reject these appointments, including director elberling, whom i'm close to, until we get a sound slate of potential directors to us, whether it be from the current mayor of san francisco or the next mayor of san francisco. it is my understanding that if we do reject these appointments, that the existing directors will continue to serve, so there will not be a lapse in the work program at tida, but these are lame-duck appointments in more ways than one. to not allow the next district supervisor, who will have to work with these directors, the opportunity to weigh in is incorrect. to

>> there are numerous issues facing the island and the redevelopment of the island. what happens to existing residence is a big question and one we are taking extremely seriously. how the island gets built, how much open space, how much affordable housing, the entire entitlement cap coming before you. there are equally important issues as well, i think the mayor put forward names that would have qualifications and expertise in all those areas. supervisor campos: but you see how this looks, right? that you put forward the renomination of these individuals that have a lot to offer, but the one person you did not nominate is the one person that actually lives on the island. i'm trying to understand what the reasoning behind that is. >> the commitment is there to put forward a resident into the seventh seat. after november 15, you will have a nomination from the mayor for that. supervisor campos: again, is there any reasoning why that person was not renominated? >> i cannot speak to that particular person. supervisor campos: ok. supervisor mar. supervisor mar: i just wan

who is going to move to this island once it is built? how do we get them on and off the island? how do we maintain the delicate balance of providing adequate open space, parks, by pat, the recreational opportunities, schools, grocery stores, restaurants, community facilities, and basic services? the next four years will be a crucial time for this commission, and i look forward to being part of this commission and providing my skills and background to make it work. i'm here if you have any questions. thank you. supervisor campos: thank you. if we may now hear from larry del carlo. >> good morning, mr. chairman, members of the rules committee. i think this is the first time i have come before you on my own behalf. i'm usually hear supporting someone else. it is a great opportunity to be here to even be considered for appointment to this important board. just a little bit about myself -- i was born here in san francisco, raised in the mission district. i currently live in district 1. i currently -- i first became involved in community development and community organizing in 1968 wh

we already have a neighborhood on the island. we already have relationships with the city, and we would like to see that go forward. given that mayor newsom is the lieutenant governor-elect, we feel it is the wrong time to lose the longtime president of the board and add members who do not have experience or a background with the community. we ask that you please maintain the members of the board until a new mayor is in office. supervisor alioto-pier: i'm curious just to know how many neighborhood organizations there are on treasure island. >> there is basically two. there is one on yerba buena island -- supervisor campos: if i may, i would ask people to turn off cell phones if the are in the chambers. thank you. supervisor alioto-pier: the other question i had was -- i know there is a board in the yacht harbor, correct? >> not officially. supervisor alioto-pier: do you include people who are boat owners in the yacht harbor? >> we have members who belong to the club who live on the island. the issue has never come up, but our pol

one of the greatest things about our city is treasure island. our kids are always thinking about peter pan. the new projects will be developed. the community will be changing. my mom as a community organizer in los angeles and that is my background. i agree with the other brother who spoke this morning. there has always been a community there. he is right. with the diversity of the new commissioners that have been proposed, and the perspectives of larry mazzola and larry del carlo, they will bring a different tone to the conversations about how our treasure island will be developed and how important it is. for linda richardson, i have not matter until this morning, but i would probably vote for her, given this region given the wonderful references. i am here -- given the wonderful references. i am here to urge your support to approve your support for larry del carlo and larry mazzola. supervisor campos: thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon. thank you. i am here to speak in support of mr. mazzola and del carlo. it is really simple. larry ma

term ending april 20, 2014, to the treasure island development authority board of directors. supervisor campos: as these items deal with appointments to the same body, i thought it would be important to take them together. i want to ask a couple of clarifying questions to the clerk. as i understand it, there are some differences between some of the seats. for instance, a number of the nominations for appointments are basically two items for each individual that we basically reject or approve, and item 13 is simply a confirmation of two of what months, so i wonder if you could say a little bit about what the distinction is and why these are treated differently. >> appointments of directors who are officers of san francisco redevelopment agency are effective immediately unless rejected by a 2/3 vote of the board within 30 days of its nose, pursuant to charter section 113. appointment of directors who are not city officers or are officers of the redevelopment agency are effective on a point of approval by the board. supervisor campos: based on that, my understanding is that for

for the future of the island. in the meantime, the existing housing and residents are concerned about the quality of life and focused on that. i would be glad to answer any questions. supervisor campos: thank you very much. no questions. if we could now hear from linda richardson. commissioner. good morning. welcome to the rules committee. >> supervisors, good morning, and i am so honored to be up here and before you, as i have done over the years on several different issues in san francisco. i am a longtime community activist with extensive experience in land use and economic development. several decades ago, from a policy and community standpoint, i worked on mission bay with the issues of how we can build a climate institution in san francisco. my involvement and others' led to the development of the non- profit housing on mission bay. i also worked at the giants stadium. the issue then was about transportation. in san francisco, how do we ensure we have this stadium that will bring thousands of people, and as
