not have had access to, so i really feel like these kinds of communities are the cornerstone of a strong cityd as supervisors, i really hope that you will choose to try to protect it. our community work really hard to save our schools, but the developer refused to negotiate with us, and we had no recourse. we have nowhere to go, so i just want to be sure that the next community that is faced with this can kind of count on you and the city to support us and protect us. thank you. alioto-pier supervisor alioto- pier: of a comet ok -- supervisor alioto-pier: ok, next speaker please. >> i'm also a parent of a 3- year-old attending children's village right now. the school has been great for him and for many others. the point i just wanted to stress is that the city really has an investment in the school, and child care is a critical resource for san francisco, and i think this measure does a nice balance of striking it -- a nice job of striking a balance between the needs of developers, which are legitimate, and the needs of parents and kids. certainly not to say that development should not go on,

i think it is an important time to point out that we have a very strong relationship with city college. it transcends this particular department and this particular class. during the course of the last year that i have been on the job, i have actually had conversations with -- with trustee chair milton marks who specifically requested that when this issue was ripe six months ago that we delay six months because the class had already been put in the program guide. i have had conversations with -- with the chancellor, with chancellor griffen, we have had a few conversations with peter goldstein about this. this was a letter that again repredated my tenure as g.m. in june asking for a reconciliation with city college on various deeds for fields and facilities. there has been a year's worth of e-mail back and forth with city college and also -- also involving some of the -- of the group that is are here today. they discuss the challenge of not having -- having the -- the facility out there not leased in some of the budget challenges of our department and our desire to put out an r.f.q. and

city to think about as we celebrate accomplishments is that san francisco cannot be a great city without stronglack leadership, and it has dwindled in the past years. as wonderful as it is that our city elected ms. harris to be d.a., she is taking care of business, but here at city hall, there are issues and decisions, and the need for representations at different levels is not where we need it to be in order to bring back what we have had in sna francisco. if we want a robust african- american presence in san francisco, we have to start at leadership levels. but sophie has been getting power plants closed, adver -- advocating for transportation plans for bayview, and moving forward to make sure we have a redevelopment plan in bayview- hunter's point. she has been a regal presence for her people,a nd it is a difficult job. with leadership comes criticism, and we view criticism as an opportunity to succeed. i have to absorb criticism and go forth and be more informed. but she has never been deterred, and she has served in what i hope is a decade where many foundations have been laid, such as cit

what is more significant is that this city is going to stage a san francisco place at the world expo in shanghai. that is an expression of profound friendship and strong special bonds between our two cities, and it will surely give new impetus to the friendship and cooperation between our two cities. this sculpture will stay here for a period of time. i think it will help local people to understand china, understand chinese history, chinese culture and the chinese philosophy of harmony. it will remind us to work hard to promote our mutual understanding and caption. i am confident with our joint efforts, we will surely make the san francisco exhibit a highlight at the world expo in shanghai, but also we will make san francisco the best gateway to china, a pioneer in the development of u.s.-china relations. shrank thank -- thank you. >> he spoke to the context of what we are here, also putting that in context is the head of the sister city committee as well as your bart board member, james. >> thank you, b.j. we are very delighted to be part of this fantastic physical monument to the cooperation between the cities of san francisco and shanghai. as has b

cities around the world. we know that in recent years, i think san francisco with the help of our community advocates from the bike coalition and other advocates were really trying to bike strong and bike hard into the wind and i think finally the wind is at our back. we need the best ideas from around the world to move our great city forward. so welcome to our friends from europe. again, thank you for all of you here in san francisco that care passionately about this and i look forward to working with all of us to move this movement forward.
