my father who passed away last week who was also a san francisco native. my mom in the hospital right now after a knee replacement and also a san francisco native. this means a lot for us. i know i speak for 99% of the latino and jazz musicians who are not playing commercial music whose photos are not on the covers of magazines or in the newspaper or not on television, and we play this music because it's our roots. it's who we are. it's a tradition handed down to us and this award means a lot. i think it means more to us than anybody else. also when we talk about latin heritage month and every month is latin heritage month but we are first and foremost human beings, no better or worse than any human being on this planet and i hope in the room will work for human rights around the globe despite doesn't matter where people are from, what flag they're playing. thank you very much. [applause] >> well, tonight we have some very, very special sponsors tonight. wells wells fargo, at&t and all of the wine makers that are ready to serve you while you listen to the i

shin, san francisco native. in chinatown i am an elder. i am on the board of chinatown's committee development; and i in the business partner of darryl honda. the only see him on committee meetings and i get the rest of them. i have been working with darryl for several years. i work in three things in a partner: us you work as hard as i do? does he have personal integrity? is he smart? he meets all three criteria. he is a number one win-win problem solver. in the board of appeals there will be any winners and losers of the losers will not feel as bad when they get the message from darryl. he has an incredible ability to read people, both said and not said, and intuitively can connect with people. he listens with compassion. and with heart. and ultimately delivers a message that will be clear but with kindness. another thing, as realtors we are challenge with integrity issues everyday. it happens and open houses, in offers, from colleagues. working with him i can say 100 percent that i trust them with both my life, my real estate dealings,

cabdriver 24 years in san francisco, native san francisco. i grew up here. went to school down the street. what going on here is atrocious to put it mildly. it's -- it's unacceptable. it should be anyway if you are americans. the mta and taxis are in natural and direct conflict with each other. both target low -- localal and visitor markets. but better taxi service to the mta is only one thing. more cabs. mta is not about mandated dispatch standards which they are supposed to follow and keep track of. it's not about taxi flow or efficiency or taxi. mta is not about retaining quality drivers. it's not about ridership satisfaction. it's not about less congestion. and why should they be? you can't make the bucks in the short run by increasing service. only by increasing the number of taxis. just like taxi companies, i might add. as for the methods of tracking and monitoring the dispatch required. no records are current or consistent, thus unusable. starting back from 1999. when the taxi commission started running the taxi business. that's a long time for no mon

is also great to have another san francisco native on the board of appeals as well. i'm happy to support the motion. we do have a motion to amend. we can do that without opposition. (gavel). we have a motion to move the item forward to the full board. it won't be heard until the first tuesday in december; i urge you to reach out to the board of supervisors as well. it will be helpful to sit down with the city attorney about any other kind of potential conflicts that may arise and you can think about this in advance. we have a motion that we can do that without opposition. thank you. (gavel) call item number two. >> (reading) >> supervisor kim: this appointee is nominated but our supervisor in district 8, tim doherty, this is a reappointment. supervisor wiener? >> i think earlier this year i nominated tim dougherty to the bicycle committee and he was confirmed; he is highly qualified and an active member of the advisory committee. he fill the remainder of the term. he is up for a full new term. it did not receive confirmation of the hearing until early this week and h

as a san francisco native, i remember the profound disappointment i felt when the classic fox theater on market street built in 1929 during the heyday of the movie industry, was torn down and replaced with an office building. today, i'm afraid i will feel the same disappointment with the destruction of our historically significant park merced garden apartments designed by thomas church, the father of landscape architecture in the bay area. i, glenn rodgers, will attempt to revisit this approval of the park merced development endeavoring to halt rather than exacerbate already unacceptable levels of congestion on 19th avenue. with an increase in 17,000 residents and an additional 6,000 parkses installed, this project is car dependent, a free shuttle to bart is not enough incentive to make this project commuter friendly. other important issues include, in my campaign, are fire hydrants in san francisco are not uniform with the rest of california. should san francisco experience another catastrophic earthquake and fire, visiting firefighters will not have easy access to available water. w

i'm a san francisco native, been living here 60 years which is a long time. i'd like to question seriously why this item is being heard in this committee. in my opinion, this committee is not functioning as it should be doing, and i seriously question why this item is being heard here. most political savvy people know that there are at least two other city committees that should be hearing this, rather than this committee. so i would like a discussion in front of everybody, especially on tv, about why it's being heard here, and not in those other two committees. but i have to be grateful that we are having this hearing this afternoon because the old audit and oversight committee kept having postponements so i have to congratulate the new audit and oversight committee for having this hearing. also, i would like a discussion whether food trucks are a alternative to having this restaurant, since other neighborhoods like the west portal oppose food trucks. so i'd like a discussion in front of everybody about the issue of food trucks. let's put it this way. some o
