murphy, mr. murphy? and crowd, if you need to talk outside, please, so we can continue. thank you. >>> greetings, supervisors. i'll be brief. my name is marc brandt. i'm a lifelong cyclist, professional bicycle mechanic. i commute by bicycle to work. i'm a member of the san francisco bicycle coalition and the league of american bicyclists. together with dr. shelby johnson, i started the bikes on board caltrain project, successfully rallied support to conserve and expand bicycle access on board caltrain. i care about cycling in the city. we have a great city for cycling. it is a joy to see the improvements that are happening. i think where i can make a contribution on the bicycle advisory committee is by drawing on my experience with respect to bicycles and cycling in the city. if the committee were to approve me for the position, i would be very honored and committed to fulfilling my role in helping to make san francisco a more livable city. thank you very much. >> thank you. supervisor breed, do you have comments? questions? >> oh, no. that was from [inaudible]. >> any

and that man was mel murphy. besides furnishing services to property owners in the community it's been talked about, the contributions that he has made, and moving in on the department of building inspection until he became the top person in that commission. in my opinion and from my past business experience from which i am now retired, mel murphy has all the necessary qualifications to be a member of the port commission. he can bring business background in construction, meeting payrolls, managing people, bringing people together, living within budgets, and integrity, honesty and commitment to the boards and to that commission. so, i would urge you to please recommend him and to please see to it that he brings those benefits to the port city of san francisco and to the jewel that he commented on earlier. thank you very much. >> thank you. >>> hello, supervisors. my name is frank lee. i'm a current member of the building inspection commission and i had the pleasure of serving mel murphy for the past -- for six yea

murphy. met him 20 some years ago when i was a driver and he mentored me to do a lot of things. and he's a gentleman, lot of integrity, and i respect him very much. thank you. >>> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is [speaker not understood] lead better. i'm an attorney in san francisco and i have the privilege and the honor to speak on behalf of mr. murphy. i've been working with him, i've known him for probably close to 20 years, between 15 and 20 years. we were neighbors. i know his family, mely and his daughter. i am lucky enough now to work directly with him in an organization that he is head of. and he is a man who is a straight shooter, has amazing integrity, does take responsibility fully. but what is so wonderful about mel is how he brings people together from all walks of life, from different aspects of life. and we're all able to know each other and work together. and i can take into consideration the sophistication of our world now and what the port will mean to this city, what

murphy. i know he has made many contributions to our city as a contractor and developer and also made great contributions in terms of housing in the city. i'm really concerned about the appearance of really not following the rules that all of us expect to a contractor to follow over the years. as president of the dbi commission of the past, would you expect that mr. murphy would make sure he could follow the proper procedures along his permits. apparently there are instances that it shows where he has not. he had a house on 26th street, 3418, 26th street, he bought a single story home and in 2004, the house was demolished without a permit. that gives the appearance of that he's been getting special consideration within the department of building inspection. there is also another pattern of this happening as well. most recently last year in december, mr. murphy began building a 5-story condominium at the same address apparently without proper permits. he did not apply for proper permits until

murphy. ~ it's been my privilege to know mel murphy for over 10 years in san francisco. ~ shea i want to tell you something you may not know given the information you've received about him. he comes from a very small county in ireland, west mead. it's now one of the famous counties as you know county cork and others are more famous for san franciscans. but nonetheless, this is where his foundation of who he is, i believe, was formed. he was raised on a farm, cows, chickens, goats, working with his hands every single day. like many people, my family, he immigrated to the great country in america and found himself in a greater city in san francisco and worked his way from very humble beginnings to a very, very successful current situation. he didn't do it just through hard work. he did it because he used a lot of vision and a lot of what he learned, i believe, back on that farm. if you put in a long day of hard work, that is considered to be a good day. and that's what i've known about mel sinc

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 that we had. he said, well they could be placed or take the walls down and replace and repair them and put them back and now he is saying that he is going to add t

murphy is here. mr.urphy, please approach the microphone. >>> good afternoon, supervisors. >> good afternoon. >>> first came to san francisco over 40 years ago, was welcomed with open arms from native san franciscans. it is an honor to be considered for the port commission. [speaker not understood] i have a pair of glasses. having a problem finding them here. got them. by the way, i had to borrow these. i forgot mine. it is an honor to be considered for the port commission that manages miles of bayshore stretching from high street over to the indian basin into south with more than 600 acres under its jurisdiction. having been to korea in real estate both as a broker and developer, working on projects as large as the alaska pipeline to as small as victorian restorations, i'm very excited to be considered for the port commission. there are many aspects of the port commission's business that interest me, but in particular interest is a development lot 337 beside pier 48 with the eight acre of open space, pa

murphy. murphy? si, si, murphy. very close to the way the irish pronounce murphy. i said, that's amazing. did you marry a serviceman from the -- military person who came to puerto rico. no, the family has been here since the 18th century. and i said, really? so we began tracing -- we still haven't found the actual person, but evidently it was an irish conscript in the irish navy that came to puerto rico. puerto rico was owned by britain, as they liked to do with their colonies, and efficient evidently the sailor came there and said palm trees, warm weather, and look at the girls. and he remained. that's the end of the second part. the third part is in response to the op ed piece that margaret mcpeek wrote in the chronicle and the letters, i don't know if you've read them -- you should pick up -- the letters that a couple of, you know, irish americans wrote in response accusing cousin mcpeek of not having a sense of humor. it has to do with these tee shirts that target has produced for the st. patrick's day parade in which mrs. mcpeek derided the fact that they were

murphy, at first said, or at the request of the dr request that we had. he said, well they could be placed or take the walls down and replace and repair them and put them back and now he is saying that he is going to add to them. not take them out. that they will still stay in the same place and add the sheer wall to them and that is not going to count toward any demolition. but that is not repair and maintenance and it simply makes the load bearing of the original house nothing but cosmetic and it is replacing the walls that he is supposed to be keeping. >> one ceiling on the top floor is being raised two feet so he is saying that it is being retained but it is not being put back in the exact same place so it does not even follow the city planning calculations of what a demolition is. also, this is, there are three zones in this area that are r1, r2, and r3, that is why there are bigger conditions, he is in rhone that is what he should be compared to. >> thank you. >> next speaker please? >> good even commissioners. my name is margaret vergis and i am co

murphy has provided homes for many people for many years throughout the city. and i have been a resident since 1937. and if this is what we do, and prevent people from constructing a home for their families, just because someone don't like the color or the window, the shades, it is really ridiculous. and i recommend that this commission highly recommend that mr. murphy's home will be approved. thank you. >> do you care to state your name for the record? >> don holts. >> thank you, next speaker? >> good evening commissioners, o'brien. >> aren't you affiliated with this project? >> i am related to the project sponsor. >> when norton in what way? >> as a brother-in-law or a business partner. >> do i get a opportunity to speak? >> on rebuttal. >> that is fine. >> if the permit holder cares to share time with you, you are on the permit and you get to speak as part of the party's time to speak. >> is there anybody else who is not affiliated with any of the parties who would like to speak? >> hi, my name is brendy yost and i live at 115 crown terrace which is next to

murphy, what do you think?ink you have to be careful with this set-up here because icahn has a history of stepping a way from something if he doesn't like what the board is doing with him. if he steps away he could have more moves to the downside on rig. >> another cool symbol, by the way. >> yes. >> next up. best buy, overweight to neutral. jpmorgan, stock upgraded last week. >> this stock has had an amazing move and i missed all of it. apparently the thought is becoming the sense that there's room for one electronics retail. that's best buy getting their cost down. i think it's ready for a pullback. finally, office depot, the company's largest shareholder nominated board of directors. >> key bank up drgraded the sto too. this deal between office depot and officemax doesn't kick in until 2014 when they shed a lot of costs. i think the one you want to play in a tough environment is staples. it's quite cheap. i think they're going to take a lot of market share over time. >>> not so fast murphy, the last month on

doug estle was the principal at murphy high school. he has a great rapport with his students. but one afternoon on may 18th, 2007, one of those students commits a violent and senseless crime. >> a student was being placed under a suspension from a teacher's classroom. >> 16-year-old randolph parker, seen here in the blue shirt, khaki colored pants, is the problem student in 61-year-old melissa's ninth grade english class. she's giving a party that afternoon in her classroom for an exchange student who's returning home. although randolph parker had been suspended earlier that day, he returns later and paces outside her door. >> obviously through his anger, he wanted to take out revenge, blamed her for the problems he had been having. so he set up a plan, obviously, to come back at the end of the day to attack her or to hit her. >> as this last period progresses, you can see randolph parker, walking up and down the hallway, waiting for the class to end. he puts on a red bandana over his face and signals to his cohort, 17-year-old dominic

murphy is here. mr.phy, please approach the microphone. >>> good afternoon, supervisors. >> good afternoon. >>> first came to

joining us now is chief kevin murphy of the montgomery, alabama, police department.urphy, thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> how did you reach the decision that you would offer this apology in those terms for your police force in this way? >> it was a very easy decision to make. congressman lewis is one of the most decent, brave men that i think i have ever known. and, you know, he has stood in the face of danger, scorn, and ridicule. he is a nonviolent man, a man of peace, but a man of great conviction. and as i told him, a badge is an officer's symbol of trust. and he said to me he didn't think he was worthy to receive it. and i said he was worthy more than any man i've ever met, that what he stood for and it's changed our city for the better. and i'm most indebted to him. the citizens of montgomery are indebted to him for his acts of bravery and courage. and i wanted him to know that we love him in montgomery. we want him to come back. montgomery is his city. 52 years ago, it wasn't the case. he was a 21-year-old man at the time. he had no id

asked the mayor to remove him because he was an embarrassment and i asked commissioner bartholomew murphy to apologize. he denied the he made the comment. it is on the audio and i will deal with that. thank you all very much. good-bye. >> next speaker. >>> good afternoon, supervisors. budget season is coming up and i'm so glad because it's an issue around services. and particularly speaking [speaker not understood] services. a lot of agencies are coming under -- trying to come under one umbrella. what ends up happening is the services start going to different parts of the city, especially if you start -- if you start an agency and then you may end up having to go to another part of the city. what ends up happening is there is no cultural competency at all. i am a very strong supporter of funding hiv and aids organizations. i'm a gay man. i'm lucky to pass not having [speaker not understood]. so, i feel like if you [speaker not understood], it should be done right. ~ if you're going to fund things, it should be done right, especially if it's five or six things under one um rel a. that way
