i am going to speak about the parkmerced agreement. as a resident of san francisco and a voting citizen, an agreement has been reported by my friends and neighbors. i found it is one of the shakiest pieces of corporate dealing i have ever seen. the shenanigans would put the index in a bad crime novel to shame. the way this bill was drawn up and conducted was done with some content -- some contempt for everyone who would profit from it. this in tyler deal should be put in the fire. thank you. >> good evening, supervisors and members of the public. my name is pastor gavin, and i am running for supervisor in district 7 in november. president chiu: you are not allowed to campaign here, but you can make statements. >> i came to speak on behalf of an incident that happened with the commissioner on december 13, 2011. when commissioner bartholomew murphy, who is also an attorney, used a racial epithet which i consider hate speech when he was referring to parkmerced residents -- he used the term "tar baby." i am truly upset by the term used. i

found that supervisors weiner, chu, and cohen violated the the sunshine ordinance in revising the parkmerced con -- contract. days later, supervisor weiner ordered a survey of the cost of complying with the sunshine ordinance. he emphasized the sunshine taskforce must function effectively. but he defined "effectively" solely in terms of costs, without looking at the results or benefits, or even performance metrics. we have now reviewed 38 of the responses to this survey. "we found is a one-sided instrument designed to overstate the cost of the sunshine ordinance and the task force. the departments are on record in the cost of state act like the brown act and labeling them as city sunshine ordinance costs. virtually all departments are giving estimates of cost by what they remember, a sure way to inflate the numbers. even the cost of noncompliance with the ordinance that delays the city attorney fees, the hearings at a loss lawsuits, are all counted as compliance costs. there are other flaws in methodology we are reporting directly to harvey rose's office. the survey promotes three types of w

i sat and watched many of the hearings regarding parkmerced. 8000 citizens of this city had their lives dismantled. most of these people have no idea where they are going, what they are going to do, how it is going to affect them. they were told not to worry, we put stuff in there to protect you. of course, we did not show it to you until the very day it was voted on, and passed the same day, by the board of supervisors. it was disgraceful. somebody earlier talked about a center for children at risk in the bayview hunters point area. one of the things i learned, growing up in the southeast during the civil rights movement, is the damage to institutions is seldom done by people on the outside trying to get in. it is normally done by people on the inside trying to keep other people out. that was aggrandized improperly. i had to go through 62 pages of supplementary material to find out that zoning issue was really a health center for risk at youth. then i heard not only was it next to a sewer plant, but railroad tracks and a bunch of other things. i am going to say this out loud and people
