mr. wooding. you have up to ten minutes. >> may i shut this? >> yes. >> good evening president hur and commissioners. thank you for listens my name is george wooding. i will start by saying this hearing would have been completely unnecessary had the recreation and parks secretary gong simply reviewed the back up or it or contacted the department of technology and had them review rpd records when they were sunshine requested. within days of sunshine ordinance task force ordering her to do so. my recollection is that they finally provided the e-mails which rpd had previously claimed she had been deleted. i would like to read what miss gong sent, 141 days after my request. >> dear mr. wooding. attached are the documents in response to mr. wooding's request for records. the records were not withheld, they were deleted by staff, before mr. wooding's request was made. the staff received hundreds of e-mails a day and are not able to... all of them. the records to the city department of technology from back up tapes. best regards olive gong. >> olive wa

mr. wooding at the outset. the disclosure that there were once e-mails but they were indeed destroyed according to regulations would have led to the next requirement in the sunshine ordinance which is to assist in referring him to someone who could help him with his records request. miss gong should have referred him to the department of technology did recovering the deleted e-mails since her technology staff could not help. let us not kid ourselves mr. ginsberg attempted a cover up of an ill advised attempt to influence the private entity to have a open panel discussion about the development in the famous park and wanted to use his position to exert power over the public who were exercising their first amendment rights of freedom of speech and assembly. the sunshine act and the brown act were created specifically to facilitate people and helping people to find out such misuses of power by trusted officials there is nothing innocent about erasing these, he is guilty as charged. the regulations for violations of

mr. wooding your frustration here. and i can see why you think that it feels like a cover up, because e-mails get deleted that are inflammatory and it is possible that it was deleted by the desire to prevent it from being disclosed. but as far as the law requires, and what he is required to maintain it does not appear to fit within a document for which retention was required. >> i don't know. my fellow commissioners. >> i guess the question that i have is i am not sure that issue is really raised. because when you read the sections that they claim were violated, 67.25, which is to satisfy an immediate request. there is no doubt that the response that they gave, that they had no e-mails, or they had no documents, was a correct response. and the question is, that commissioners studley was asking about whether there was some practice of going to the it department as being part of it, well there is no way that an immediate request that anybody could contemplate that you were going to go to the it department that is 24 hour

mr. wooding. i think that it is in the records somewhere, but when you eventually got the documents from rec and park, after they went to their it people, did you get all of the same documents that you had gotten from the common wealth club? >> (inaudible) >> the answer would be no. i believe to memory, i received two or three of the documents, i did not receive the complete ones. all of the five or six documents. so, i believe that also they were given to me the day before, or the day of when sunshine was going to make their determination so, it was like 11th hour type of thing look at what we found, here they are. >> all right. >> so this, in that context, it was very insulting in that on the very last day, and it is interesting to see mr. buel and mr. ginsberg and sarah ballard here tonight as they sent olive gong, and never spoke for themselves. >> she seems to have a nice woman but did not have a clue as to ha was going on and the sunshine task force had to can her twice it was embarrassing f

mr. wooding. ms. jackson. >>> dr. espinola jackson, [speaker not understood] bayview hunters point, san francisco. i would like to say that, supervisor kim, i agree with a lot of questions that you were raising, but one of the things i think all of you should do is look at how city planning was being run 20 years ago. i've lived here in san francisco for 70 years. i've been voting for 55 years. all right. so, that's a long time. and the thing of it is that those of us, the citizens of san francisco whom you are supposed to represent -- not what your ideas are, but what are the citizens' ideas, what do the citizens want. and this is not being done. and i'd like to say i'm very disappointed that we don't have anyone from district 10 because that's the largest area of land use to be carried out. it's over 800 acres of land with the shipyard. and with the sewage plant. aim very concerned about how we have been shafted. you all shafted us before. and what happened, we had to get a lawyer. we shouldn't have to get a lawyer

we must have adequate comment in the process >> thank you, mr. wood. >> thank you very much i'm george coalition for san francisco neighborhood. a couple of thoughts. i think the best way to look at this sequa legislation it's not my legislation or your legislation i've heard that a couple of times today. i think we should look at the best for all are i want to thank president chiu. i think some of the things he's added are very good where specifically he supports supervisors kim alternate to sure all appeals inform to the environmental determination at the whole board. personally support the trigger and you have to understand that most of her legislation has been grafted by the community. one of the things that the community neighborhoods have a lot of it seems to be fundamentally helping the planning department and talking about helping the developers but it is like planning overwhelmed. i want this to be not so much about what the planning department can and can't do. so i want to thank you. again and that's it. thank you >> thank you. >> superviso

mr. wooding's case in which the good government guide also contains material on page 89 that is not worthy of a public rest room. page 89 of the good government guide says that departmental destruction policies for material that remains on back up tapes or analogous paper records that the department may have lawfully discarded but may be found in the city-owned dumpster, these are the public records act that would be separate. and the sunshine ordinance requires to search the trash for such records that is pure nonsense, the back up tapes are there for daily use, speaking as an experienced secretary, i know that almost every secretary in this city understands from the get-go that if they lose a document, it can be pulled from back up tape. if they inadvertently delete a document, a memo or a draft version of a memo or a version of a document going through a revision cycle. the secretary inadvertently is a human makes an error an

mr. wooding that there was only one that i had e-mails with the common wealth club, the rest of it became telephone calls. so when i looked under common wealth club or agreeing dalton i did not see anything, i must have deleted it. but it was not as significant to me at the time to tell you the truth. it seemed outside of any issues that was before the commission and i know mr. dalton well, and so it was kind of a, or just a let me tell you what i am thinking and why. i should correct, also, i said that you had a communication with the city attorney it was actually from olive gong that had sightings and city attorney stuff in it and i think that it correct and i am not represented by council. >> do you and i know this is some time ago. but do you recall whether you would have looked in both your received and your sent locations for correspondence? >> you know, at that time, that was probably above my pay grade. i was operating on a blackberry at the time and i think that it was just one category that i knew to plug in to search for anything in e-mail and it would show up. i think both as

mr. wooding. >>> good afternoon, supervisors. is this on? >> now it's on. >>> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is george wooding, 120 central council coalition for san francisco neighborhoods. i wanted to say quickly that many neighborhood groups do not support what scott wiener has been representing. the groups he mentioned are just about a small fraction of what san francisco neighborhoods are all about. i think

. >> my name is terry woods. mr. murphy was turned down twice for a general permit. mr. murphy was turned down twice for a permit because this house is considered affordable housing. and then he applied a third time and now calling it an alter ration, bypassing affordable housing rules and a permit and the mandatory dr. the assertion that this is not a demolition is based on the city planning interpretation of the code 317. the co-author of this code eric peskin says this provision was added to the ordinance to avoid punishing honest builders who after doing the calculations happened upon the unknown discovered area of the building which must be replaced or repaired. >> the department is now permitting savvy project sponsor to plan such repair and maintenance in advance. and tear down more of the building than would ordinary be allowed by the code. mr. murphy, at first said, or at the request of the dr request

woods and mr mole. let me let me i want to know we're going to let me ask you a question. here on this network and this we're having a debate we have our knives out. to do this friday but it's a bad thing there's again we're going to see three will be and i didn't even talk about the surveillance we. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so silly you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else and you hear or see some other part of it and realized everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom harpur welcome to the big picture. here is mitt romney trying to figure out the meaning of that thing that we americans. i don't know. i'm sorry i missed you guys here's an awful lot of. you sir are you know what that is my tears. no one will see the future a liberal and a christian. usually go to the. you know the book you distracts us from what you and i should care about because there are profit driven industry that sells of sensationalistic garbage he calls it breaking news i'm happy martin and we're going to break this that it's. looking pretty

wood. >> good afternoon welcome back. >> good afternoon mr. chair man members of the board i'm here to speak on a couple of items first let me follow up on something that john -- said about taxi stands. i think the sooner we get taxi stands back where they belong the better the taxi service is going to be in this city and to follow up on something that mr. -- [inaudible] said to come up with any decision they may not make any decisions regarding illegal limosines in my lifetime and i say that partly tongue and cheek because i hope i am wrong but i have never seen any action -- [inaudible] and you know the thing is i think one of the rulings that the state puc made was we're not going to fine you until we look into everything. apparently, take that to mean -- i think that they are operating illegally right now so i think you as the board have the authority to ask for that. >> thank you. >> joan wood, john horn. >> is there any other members of the public who wish to address the board if they can fill out a speaker card and bring that to me, it

mr. william "wood" tate jr. thank you. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman yields back. the chair recognizes the gentleman from kentucky, mr. yarmuth, for five minutes. mr. yarmuth: madam speaker, i rise to honor the university of louisville cardinals who went to a second straight final four this season and returned home national champion. going into the ncaa tournament the question was whether the cards' stifling defense would be enough to win it all. well, we'll never he know because the country's best defense became the best offense, too. shooting 52% to a tournament best 79.5 points per game. that's more than crazy, it's ridiculous. during the past month russ smith hardly took a shot he couldn't make. setting louisville's new tournament scoring record and earning the respect and affection of a city. the all-american, regional m.v.p., and defensive phenom no longer cares who is scoring longs as long as the jersey reads louisville. louisville first, cards forever, they mean it. we saw it when the team rallied around their injured teammate, kevin ware, as he repeated i'm

about that in our closing bell exchange with stephen wood from russell investments, greg mcbride from bankrate.com, joe duran from united capital and mr. market himself, our own rick santelli, stephen wood, you know the earnings that have come out so far, we got a slew of them this week, have not exactly set records. but you say stay the course in the mashlrkets nonetheless. >> if you've got long-term time horizon, the volatility we're seeing was expected by us. the pullbacks, you can reload some beta. picking better names in what we think is going to be an okay earnings environment, but a challenging revenue environment. not every balance sheet is going to execute equally in this environment. you've got some opportunities for -- >> what it means is the fed is going to stay the course on quantitative easing, basically. >> i think that is very clear. >> greg, tell us about this new study you're out with today. >> we found three in four americans say they are not more inclined to invest in the stock market now given the fact that interest rates are at record lows and the stock market's recently hit highs. that's the same as we found a y

of course, always wood or any kind of plastic form or anything like that. >> job mr. some of the pieces you have made while you have been here. -- taught me through some of the pieces you have made while you have been here. >> the first thing that attracted me to this was the printed surface. it was actually a poster. it was a silk screen watercolor, about 8 feet long. in terms of the flatwork, i work with a lot of cloddish. so being able to cut into it come at into it, removed parts, it is part of the process of negotiating the final form. >> how do you jump from the two dimensional work that you create to the three-dimensional? maybe going back from the 3f to 2d. >> everything is in the process of becoming. things are never said or settled. the sculptures are being made while i am doing the collages, and vice versa. it becomes a part of something else. there's always this figuring out of where things belong or where they could parapets something else. at the end goal is to possibly see one of these collage plans be built out and create a structure that reflects back

wood frame buildings. and seismic strengthening has not yet concurred are occurred >> thank you mr. president, this legislation is long, long overdue. we know that our best response to a major earthquake and we know we're have a larger earthquake is to make sure we're resilient. that our housing remainsful intact and our infrastructure remains intact and the majority of people are able to stay in their housing. if we don't take action to make sure our housing is resilient we'll have a catastrophe. we should have resources to rebuild our infrastructure. this is a significant step in that decision that requires that soft housing units 3 stories or higher in terms of our housing stock housing tens of thousands of people to make sure that housing is stabilized. we know that if those buildings collapse we're have displaced residents and they're no longer be rent controlled. it's our favor to make sure this stay intact. i do acknowledge that this legislation does impose a hardship. it's not cheap to resident fit those buildings and especially small property owners. we're going to try to m
