we have also together put finishing touches on what i call once in a generation projects, like park merced and treasure island, and working together, we have balanced this year's budget in a fiscally responsible way and without compromising our ideals. i want to say to you though that we all just heard the governor released his budget predictions for this year, and as you know, there was $4 billion in revenue that the governor had intended with the state legislature to close. they were only able to close $1.80 billion of that, so the trigger cuts have been announced as of today, so i pledge to work with you, with the community- based organizations to try to figure out how to protect our most critical services, and we have already begun that service, that effort, by meeting with our community-based organizations and certainly by individual meetings with each of you, supervisors, as well, so these coming months, we will be making a very strong effort to make sure our budget is balanced, also with an understanding to how these trigger cuts will impact us. clearly, there is a lot that remains

i came before you because i am a resident of park merced. it was recently disclosed to me on may 24, it was an unbelievable day because the first amendment rights of the residence and the public here in san francisco were denied in the land use committee at a later that afternoon before the sort of -- on board of supervisors. we were prohibited from reading the 14 pages of revisions that were introduced by supervisor david chiu in land use committee that changed the contract. we were not aware of the fact that there is a memo included in the legislation and the memo refers to $50,000 to be given to a project in supervisor carmen chiu's district. it is on muni stationery written by employees, and is a supplemental money. however, nowhere in the documents posted online and did this ever surfaced. that is alarming and disturbing. one of the things i did not mention in my letter, i think an investigation is warranted because i think it is a conflict of interest for that legislation to have been included within the development agreement that the

this is similar in many ways to park merced, in that it has a number of low-rise units, which i understand are up the zone, and i would anticipate that those are going to be demolished at some point, and we will see luxury high-rise condominiums built their -- there, and there will be a loss of many units due to hotelization. this is being rented out to corporations, for their pilots' and their attendants back, and that is not only taking affordable rent-controlled housing for the people need it, it is also robbing the legitimate hotels from their business, and it is robbing the city from its hotel tax revenue. it is technically legal that they can do that, as mr. paul pointed out, but i think a quick fix in the lot to redefine the rental of less than 30 days, even if the rental is greater than 30 days, that is less than 30 days, it is a violation of the apartment conversion law. but nonetheless, we should not be rewarding golden gateway for these illegal conversions. we should not be setting the stage for golden gateway to become another parker said fight, and we certainly do not need mor

be similar to the way you did treasure island this year and a way that you did the controls for park merced. these were negotiated agreements, these are development agreements, but there are controls and the planning code that will be amended. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> thank you, supervisors. we're very proud of the efforts of the san francisco redevelopment agency in creating this project and creating the process. we want to express our support of this resolution going forward and said our compliments to the city administration's office. >> thank you. next speaker. >> i have been waiting for this day. i did not even imagine that this day would come when i started 20 something years ago. i'm appalled that the process is continuing even though we're getting rid of that giant. this is the same thing that happened in 1948. back when redevelopment was first put together, in a smoke- filled room. i have the history on how they put together this so-called urban renewal but we called it a negro removal. they talked about how significant this did. having you checked th

we have merced park has been a great resource. his their managers have been on the ball. we wanted to make a pitch on the good samaritan ordinance, taking what we have been doing on a responsive note and building longevity and an ongoing response with a larger host of people. that is how we honor the great irresponsibility is we have. get more partners in there. i want to credit the board with good legislation. it is going to create that larger body of people that are part of our whole community of response and sustaining our residents in with the kind of help they wish to have in the great city of san francisco. >> are there questions or other comments? any members of the board which to comment? president chiu? president chiu: my district, from the tenderloin, oftentimes buildings -- have you seen that as a pattern? is that something that i have been observing? >> we can do further analysis on it. your district has different challenges that some of the other parts of the city do not. they are all attached buildings so if you get a fire, you are likely to have it extend i
