i have been trying to reach you, ms. kim, but we have been missing each other through the night. i came to stand for truth today. what has been presented to you has been a falsehood. you need to know our side of it. you have three african-americans here representing the visitation valley community center, which predominantly consists of asians and immigrants. we come to be their voices. all of them could not come today. they are so traumatized. they heard about this before we knew about it. about a year ago, we got news from other ceo's -- other cbo's that we were going to be defunded. this is when i came on the board. they had me resigned because of a conflict of interest. when my husband left work, then i got to be president. they found fault with me. i can tell you, we have complied with every area -- every area that they have asked us to do, we have complied with it. they have insulted us. they have held us hostage. they have not given us memos. they have not answered our calls. by being a member of the sunshine for almost 12 years and have been on the democratic central comm

ms. rogers. supervisor kim: thank you for including me at your committee meeting. good afternoon. i am sponsoring a resolution urging the planning commission to incorporate the western soma community plan and the objectives of the community stabilization policy accepted by the task force in 2009. this is why my office is involved. the central market revitalization and attraction of businesses sparked a conversation on how to do development without displacement. the reason there was an initiative around the tax exclusion to attract new businesses to the area has created a spirited discussion. the south of market and western soma area has evolved to become a vibrant mixed-use and mixed- income community. this pattern of development, which developed organically, is the type urban planners are attempting to replicate in developments across the city. a summary of the main points of this policy. the community stabilization policy looks at historical development patterns over the last 20 years and articulates a policy to make sure this balance is maintained as the area undergoes developm

kim: yes. thank you. i am sorry -- are the questions for our applicant? ms. vanessa jackson. thank you. hi, ms. jackson. >> good afternoon. i did not get a chance to fill up everything. supervisor kim: you can fill out this for the clerk. the same thing. >> yes, my name is vanessa at jackson. i am a 44-year-old mother. i lost two children 10 years ago. i work at a battered women's shelter, and i were also as an intern at general hospital where i work with the trauma units, stabbing victims, a gang violence, community violence. i have been an advocate in the community for over 20 years. i have worked in the juvenile hall with clark, with state parole, a federal parole. i advocate for children and families, and i am here today because i feel that i have been watching the police commission on tv for several years, and i think the thing they are lacking is a community person. i see a lot of lawyers, i see a lot of ph.d. s and doctors, buti do not see a community%. i do not see an ordinary person just trying to make family violence, community violence safer, helping the u.s., -- helping the youth, wo

supervisor kim: thank you, ms. stephens for being here and for your service. are there any questions? seeing none, i will open up at this time for public comment. on item number four. two minutes. >> hello, again, i'm glenda and i'm a proud owner of a 15-year-old macaw. i have worked very closely with james yorck. he not only boards conrad but he also answers any questions that i have ever had, whenever i have an emergency, his phone is on 24 hours, not only for me but also my friends who have had issues. not only with their birds but other pets. he was also so well regarded, he was in the parrots of telegraph hill as one of the people they talked to about animal safety. the other thing i'm going to say is he is extremely dedicated to the education of the people who own their animals and will bend over backyards to help you better your relationship not only with your birds but other animals. and i really believe he has a lot to offer this commission. so i would hope that he can be moved forward. thank you. supervisor kim: thank you, mr. hyde. next. >> hi, my n

ms. rodgers, were you going to present on this? supervisor kim is the sponsor. >> i would defer to the supervisor unless you would like me to summarize the ordinance before you speak. supervisor kim: i would prefer your preference. >> this legislation was originally introduced by supervisor chris daly in 2010 and i agreed to sign on as a sponsor in january. we have been working closely with livable city and neighborhood associations to develop iparking requirements. this is intended to have better consistency with adjacent districts and to require non- hotel parking in the mixed use district adjacent to downtown, to maintain a fee structure which discourages long-term parking. i would like to thank the planning staff and our city attorney for their work on this ordinance. judy had to do a lot of last- minute work. we have met with several key stakeholders in mission bay, which includes the mission bay community advisory committee, the port, and the giants. after meeting with the stakeholders, we understood there was already a planning process und

supervisor kim: thank you come -- thank you, ms. tucker. >> good afternoon, supervisors. like other advocates, and i am here to endorse david waggoner for police commission. while all the applicants have impressive credentials, but he is the best applicant because he has the background in legal observing, as well as years of representing marginalized communities. there is another reason. david, on mike julius turman, -- unlike julius turman, is not serving on the commission currently. that is commission shopping. there's another reason why i believe he is the best candidates. competency. in my view, the quality most indicative of competency is the ability to perform the commissioners duties and advocate for public interest without being swayed to do otherwise by the incredible pressures of entrenched special interests. in this regard, i think mr. waggoner is the clear choice. thank you. supervisor kim: thank you. oh, ok. >> i was not sure if i was next. supervisor kim: if i called your name, please stand up. >> thank you. i needed to sit. supervisor kim: i understand. >>

ms. rogers has made a request that this item be continued. can i ask supervisor kim to respond? >> it would not change -- supervisor kim: it would not change our position. the planning department has been in discussions with us. they know our position. i do not see how another meeting would make a difference. we have been in discussions for over a month. on the day of to ask for a continuance was atl

kim: ok. we have alonso, lam, mcdonnell. i am happy to put out these three individuals since they were on my list. supervisor farrell: that is fine with me. as it relates to ms. lam, but i have a concern -- nothing against your personally -- the conflict. i think that is real. i think she is a woman with young kids. that is great. we need that in the city more than anything. i was very ready to support the three i mentioned in the beginning. but i do want a strong stand from us going forward. and i believe those three would be terrific. supervisor kim: all right. we cannot forward these three with recommendation. we have mike alonso, jenny lam, and eric mcdonnell. we do have to make this decision by tuesday, june 28, which is why we call the special meeting today. really -- >> really quickly -- supervisor kim: i really want to thank our 23 applicants. it is great to see the breath of leadership and the passion. this is very important, one of the most important task force appointments the city is going to be making this year, and i want to thank everyone for the time it took to apply. we really appreciate that. i am happy that we have come to a consensus arou
