we also had another thing happen to us in this city. we also had aids breaking out. on and voted for eviction. you need to change things around, the leaders. do what is right. miss alioto, you come from good stock. we need to thank chris daly for what he did in district 6. for the mayor, we don't know. we want you to have some heart, too. we want you to know we have been there with you fake and then. the rent board should reflect diversity in this city. it is time to make san francisco the beacon on the hill. thank you. >> i am a tenants union counselor. i will agree with everybody who has spoken here that certainly having split appointments between the board and the supervisors, i think any renter will tell you is probably going to be a better deal for renters, especially with the mayor we currently have an opposite -- in office. there is no public funding for tenants that are facing eviction. if you are served as an unlawful detainer, you have no choice but to lose your housing. if you have no money for an attorney, even if you do have money for the attorney, -- so

in miyei prefecture's toba city. but researchers have found a use for this eyesore by using the oyster shells to grow clams. show you how it's done in this next report from toba city. >> reporter: these clams are growing at about twice the normal rate. in just eight months they have already reached this size because of a new growing method. the secret to the rapid growth lies in these oyster shells. toba city cult vaits mounivates oysters in an area where the coastline is deeply indented and the waves roll gently in. but after the oysters are removed from their shells, the city has to dispose of them. but getting rid of 5,000 tons each year is a problem. glier nine years ago toba city built a factory to process the leftover shells, workers grinding them into fine powder for fertilizing crops. the al kaline in ground oyster shells helps improve the quality of acidic soil.kaline in ground shells helps improve the quality of acidic soil. the fishery's research agency realized the ground shells could be used for other purposes too. in the past this part of toba city grew a rich supply of large clams. but now the

is why if you look at all of us who were able to be here tonight to celebrate this particular month in this particular fashion -- clearly, one-third of us living in the citysan francisco are asian- americans and pacific islanders. that is why it is so important to know that our voices count, and our boys in a celebration like this counts as we lead the nation in a great celebration. right now, i would like to call upon the san francisco assessor, bill ping, who is here to present the city's proclamation from our mayor of sentences go. i would like you all to say come on up bill. thank you for being here with us. give him a warm welcome. he is our san francisco assessor, bill ping.

this notification issue. we are not experts in real estate we have heard about this city in 2009. i have been used by people who are on site who were representing the committee or involve the. they don't know about this. although an rfp was issued in 2009, no one expressed an interest in taking responsibility. i urge the commission to recognize the important distinctions. i want to make the point that we enjoy the support of the neighbors had and families in the neighborhoods and that we teach. i would like to ask them to stand up and be recognized if you can to support as a parent or a teacher. please let yourself be seen. thank you very much. we have submitted letters of support urging approval for leases. country to the assertion we have heard today, there have been several postponements to this process. this has been on the agenda for the past three meetings. we respected the request at these meetings. the committee had shown trust and patience. the teachers share the weight around the decision. further delay will damage the business, inconvenienced the community unnecessarily, and we would be

i could easily make this argument for all approaches city-wide, to each and every one of us, that we deal with benefits in the diversity and the diversification of this process. the last hearing that we participated in was mostly based on amendments on the floor that strengthens this charter instrument. one is that we allowed for three members of the park commission. and that one member would be jointly picked. considering that these are the only commissions whose decisions are not able to be appealed, originally there was a provision for the process. i did not want to confuse the intent of us keeping focused on the need for strengthening and diversifying the position, with thoughts of greater access to the general public. but it did not go unnoticed that having that level of access on the commission with some contribution by the board of supervisors, i think it helped us to address those other areas that made the commission feel like a parallel government. many of these decisions are not necessarily decisions that would come before us, and we would not necessarily want to. the good work of san franciscan

this is about the people we represent and the people we serve and we are privileged all of us to have this moment in time and that we are honored by the fact that the city has a charter that allows us to have this kind of representative governance structure that allows this kind of interaction and delibera deliberative process. with that a few words. we have an arts commissioner that will be appointed. city hall preservation advisory committee a body formed by mayor brown, a building that he was responsible for providing. entertainment commissioner why, al, would you want to be on the entertainment commission is beyond me. a representative of the film commission. billy is an old friend who does great work. human rights, talk more about shirley in a moment. immigrant rights, art and sonia thank you for your willingness to serve. library, beverly, it is exciting to have you on board and so much good has been said about you. mark buhl, recreation and parks department will be reappointed chair of the revenue bond oversight committee at the p.u.c. very important. a body that was formed in, i think, 2002, formally. we also have a new commissioner that only sh

in this city. time after time again, challenging those of us in positions of elected office and a point of office to move forward and to make things happen. i think about someone that i watched as a board aid of a shot . there should be a vibrant reuse plan in san francisco. as with most things, there is division, controversy, and i appreciate that. that is part of the process and that gives us the opportunity to make things better. i want to thank sophie and say that she has been steadfast for over a decade in getting us to this point. >> i mentioned it late at night but i will mention it more briefly right now. when i was first elected here, i was elected to talk about affordable housing. i was reelected to talk about affordable housing and i spent probably half of my time here talking about affordable housing. in terms of unfinished business, real resources dedicated for affordable housing, this is something that the board, the mayor, and the city, needs to tackle. i think that the state of affairs and the needs that are out there, michael cohen getting up and saying 1400 units of 10,005 wondered
