mr. lindner's application, that would be good, too. but i just wanted to support paul giusti's reappointment to the advisory board. thanks. >> thank you, mr. [speaker not understood] any other public comment on this item? seeing no other public comment, this item is now closed. colleagues? >> thank you. thank you very much to both of you for applying. and mr. giusti, you know, i see you everywhere and it's incredible that you have the energy to do as much as you do and that you're willing to continue to do that. so, it is my pleasure to see you reappointed. i do have a question about seat 14 for mr. lindner. i would love to be able to appoint you. but if you don't meet the legal requirements, there's nothing we can do. we did think about the idea, maybe switching the seats. i don't know if that requires that be re-noticed, but it seems even if we did that it wouldn't work. so, with that, i make a motion to reappoint paul giusti to seat 15 and move forward the positive recommendation in terms of seat 14 i think we need to wait until ther

mr. reardon. >> good evening, commissioners. patrick o'reardon, dbi. i believe there are multiple layers of review, inspection -- and inspection involved with this work. and i really think that it's everyone's intent to deliver a code-compliant project here. since the last meeting regarding this matter, six special inspections have been applied to this permit, as would be required for the structural elements involved with the work. so that is another level of a review, and verification for the structural work having to do with what was proposed under this permit. the accessibility features, they were reviewed by kevin jenson, who is city staff with dpw. he is a specialist -- he is going to do the inspections regarding the accessibility along with dbi. again, we intend to ensure that we have compliance with the requirements of ada, and accessibility for this park. senior inspector duffy who spoke to you at the last meeting regarding this matter was at the site last thursday to investigate a complaint regarding possible work at the tennis court area. he

mr. brig. >> good afternoon. when we talk about resill yepbs and resiliency for the san francisco public works, the sfpuc not only provides those life lines to san francisco, but we also operate the hetch hetchy regional water system that supplies a great amount of water for a large part of the bay area, 2 1/2 million customers. and for a regional supplier like ourselves when resiliency comes sbat conversation you are talking about earthquakes come up already and terrorism as well and we've done a lot to put our money where our mouth is. we are right in the middle of investing 4 1/2 billion dollars in our water system. most of that is in the regional transition system, but about a billion of that is in san francisco itself and i can tell you that to put your money where your mouth is and really tackle capital investment when you talk about resiliency, it starts and ends there with capital investment. to be able to put your money where your mouth is, you have to convince your rate payer base that they want it and

mr good who are all campaigning for the presidency i don't think that they've gotten enough exposure and there have been people who have been working both inside and outside the system folks like jill stein who have gotten arrested protesting the fact that they can't get into those debates that they can't make those alternate ideas and voices come out because the commission on presidential debates says that they can't they can't participate and and yet so i think that some people are aware and programs like yours are helping to bring that awareness out in a democracy now also did some good mates and c.-span as well so that's helping but it's certainly not getting the attention that that they should be getting now as we all know i finally when it came to obama and his whole campaign pledge four years ago his whole platform was about change now do you and your fellow activists expect any change to come off to this presidential election. well. i don't know i don't know what you expect exactly i think i think that he's going to be moving forward in some of his some of his policies and i

mr. connors. >>> good evening, supervisors. eric brooks representing grassroots organization in our city and san francisco green party. you know, for over a decade now, hundreds of community organizations and individual members of the community have been ringing the alarm bells about the radioactive and toxic waste in all of the navy sites in san francisco, including bayview hunters point and treasure island that lennar is doing its developments in and saying that things are not okay. and that the city needs to hire independent contractors to take control of the situation and tell us what is really going on, and we should put a halt to these projects until their done safely. and over that, more than a decade, we have listened repeatedly to the euphemistic platt platitudes of ms. brownell making it sound like these aren't serious problems [speaker not understood]. let me touch on a couple of those. one is "background" radiation. a lot of you probably don't know that when an incident like fakushima happens, the background radiati

mr. walker. >>> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is henry kabane. he did submit an application already. before i tell you a little bit about myself, i just want to echo what supervisor elsbernd said about dan weaver. he is awe inspiring, a legendary neighborhood advocate and he would do wonders on this committee. a little bit about myself. i'm a practicing attorney in san francisco. i live in westwood park. i have a son who is now a sophomore at [speaker not understood] high school just adjacent to the balboa park station. i am also a member of the board of directors of the ocean avenue association, the cbd that mr. weaver is the executive director of. and i'm currently serving as treasurer of the ocean avenue association. i think it's fair to say that ocean avenue corridor has turned a corner. we've seen tremendous improvements in the area and i think now is precisely the time to focus on the balboa park station and all that that can offer to the entire community, city college, [speaker not understood], and all the residents in the area. i bring an

mr. mayor. it's good to see you. i believe i'm not alone with my colleagues on the board of supervisors as i respectfully submit to you today that mayoral question time is not as useful as it could be. i certainly would appreciate the opportunity to engage with you about important policy issues facing my district and facing the ebb entire city and county, but i respectfully submit that i do not believe that the current structure allows for meaningful dialogue some of you would like to see. so my question is mr. mayor would you submit restructuring question time in order to allow members of board of supervisors to ask follow-up questions and engage in a dialogue about the critical issues facing our city and residents and i would simplied into restructuring in any way that we can figure out together that would be meaningful. thank you. >> thank you for your questions, supervisor campos. i have to respectfully disagree with the assumptions that you make with that question. first i do find these monthly sessions useful.
