Comments. Next speaker. If youre in support if you support what the speaker is saying, please use your fingers. My name is joshua. I wanted to talk on my thoughts here behind london breed having multiple roles. Its not so much im concerned she can maintain all of the roles at once. For me, its more of a concern of direct power. All of you may have heard the comment about ron conway. Hes an investor who backed tech heavy weights like google, paypal. At mayor lees private funeral, instead of reviewing mayor ed lees contributions and his life, he backed london breed. This is a person who will be heavily involved with a lot of money in lobbying and i believe that is range of power that should not be acceptable in our government and our city government. For that reason, i support and back naomi kelly, also a woman of color. Thank you very much. Clerk thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. Good evening, board, good evening madame president and the acting mayor. My name is richie greensburg, visiting from the Richmond District today. I would like to nominate naomi kelly. I would like to see the city remain balanced. It should not be a racial issue, should not be a gender issue, it should be a person who has four positions, district supervisor, president of the board, interim mayor, and mayoral candidate, four positions, too much, we need to keep the city balanced. I nominate naomi kelly. Clerk next speaker, please. Ken johnson, native san franciscan, i support london breed as mayor. She has proven herself repeatedly. And she is the person for the job. Clerk thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. Hi, i wanted to come up one more time and support london breed. The city survived quite a while with appointments being made by the executive branch. Im not quite sure why that is such a concern, in terms of separation of powers, i would assume the board would ask her if she would relinquish her seat. There is a path for her to stay on as interim mayor and deal with the concerns that many have voiced concerning the separation of powers. I saw a look on your face supervisor peskin, when i said there are four mayors, late mayor lee, acting mayor breed, caretaker and if someone else won. The irony is striking here. Many of those who are worried about transparency perhaps are not being totally transparent themselves. I think this is really strictly about politics and giving supervisor kim and candidate glenno the better opportunity as perceived by those with the concerns. Lets move forward with this talented qualified competent woman. Clerk thank you for the comments. Next speaker, please. Chris boman. Which reports to the Mayors Office. And i think that is almost disqualifying. Secondly, getting back to the conflict of interest of president breed being the president and also the acting mayor, lets say the board passes a resolution 65 and shes on the losing side of that. As acting mayor, she can then veto that legislation. That is inherent conflict of interest and also an abuse of power. So i would like to see a pledge by the president that she will resign as president of the board and the board supervisor, should this board appoint her interim mayor. As president of the board and from district 5 and she can appoint her successor. Thank you for your comments, next speaker, please. Good afternoon, again. My name is jackie flynn. Im the executive director of the a. Phillip randolph institute. Just a couple of years ago i sit alongside london breed when she was then supervisor when she talked about we need preferential housing for those members pushed out the city. I watched her march to washington d. C. And speak to the department of housing to make changes to the hud policy to allow for more residents to stay in the city and access housing. At that time, even before then, on that day, i saw a fire in london breed and a compassion for this city that inspired me to continue what i do and stand here today and say that im very happy to nominate or see london breed as a nomination to continue as interim mayor and i thank you for that work. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon, and good evening. I wanted to first and foremost commend each of you for your service as a member of this body. All of you have placed yourselves in a position to make both decisions. All of you have prepared yourself or given yourself and all of you are full of intelligence, wisdom and carry integrity. I fully trust that no matter the list of legislative accomplishments are political or ideologies, that well continue to Work Together at this time. And ensure that the next couple of months continue smoothly. The know the plans i have for you, declares the lord. Plans to prosper you, not to harm you. Board of supervisors, i end with this, there is a time for everything, there is a time and a season of activity under the heavens. A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to uproot. A time to kill and a time to heal. A time to tear down and a time to build. As we continue in the memory of edwin lee, its time we begin healing by having london breed lend her stalwart to the community. Clerk thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon. I didnt introduce myself, my name is angelique, i am a resident of district 11. One of the first people he actually baptized, so i have a long history here in San Francisco, thank you very much. I like that people brought the name of naomi kelly, she is a fine Civil Servant and great. If the league of pissed off voters wanted to put initiative on the ballot, it says we should have the city controller or the city manager be the interim mayor and i would be happy to sign that thing, because there is a challenge with that. With that being said, given that we are operating under, i see no one better to take up the to be the mayor of the city than london breed. Here is why. She for the first time ive seen somebody, i think im 40something that actually looks like me and actually has my experience. I didnt know that about that, madame mayor. Shes only a few years younger than i am and in my advocacy and i do advocacy from time to time in the city, i have rarely had someone who thinks like i think and understand what i understand and feel the challenges i feel. People have named a number of things between housing, violence, just being a native san franciscan and seeing a middle class go from 12 of africanamericans to 4 is horrifying. So why not london . Why not now . Why wait . So, madame mayor, you have my support and i certainly hope shell have yours as well. Clerk thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. Please stand by. With three conversations with themselves . That is a problem. We have a problem that should be on the ballot. The mayor never has to sit in this room except once a month for five minutes with the questions and the answer. We have a problem in how to change the charter in the city. It is not functioning for the people. This is not about the character of london breed. It is absolutely not. I have worked my whole life for africanamericans. I will not be characterized as racist. All i am concerned about is separation of power. Thank you. I will remind the public please use your supportive hands. Thank you kindly. Next speaker. Renee curran i lived here since 1993. District five since 1997. A councillor since 2009. I have seen changes in the city. I will keep it quick. I support the care taker mayor. Would like to nominate naomi kelly. Next speaker, please. I am matt mcgowan, district 6 to speak in support of caretaker mayor. I would second the nominations by the voters. It is important that the city appoint someone to govern impartially in a legislative group that is always full of poison pills it is impossible to expect one like london breed running for may our would use that position impartially. I again support the nominations of the voters. Thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. We are talking four months. 120 days. That is what we are talking. These people are so afraid this woman is going to rob, steal and cheat in 120 days. I would like to support mayor london breed to be the mayor of this city because it is a fiscally responsible thing to do as a city payroll and business taxpayer to this city, i would like to see us continue what ed lee started and my grandchildren lived in those chinatown projects that he is rebuilding that took forever. I would like to see continued at least trying to keep black people here. I know everybody says it is not about racism and not about this or that. Where have all the black folks gone . Does it matter. I am not saying london breed would keep us here. We are talking 120 days we are spending this time and money on for 120 days. I nominate london breed who is a new breed of politician which all of us are afraid of. Thank you for your comments. Next speaker please. Good evening. Mayor breed, supervisors, my name is arinia corbin, mother of two adult children, 15 grandchildren and 1045 foster children. My last 1,045th foster child is walking in may or london breeds steps. She will graduate from San Francisco state coming this may. My family and i support london breed for mayor. Thank you. Thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. I am brad chai opinion chapi. I got angry with someone that i generally agree with. I think the idea was reality this actually is racially triggering. I dont think it is helpful for us to say this isnt about racism. I think we absolutely must have a woman of colour be our acting mayor or appointed mayor. I think to ignore the reality this is so racially triggers is absolutely racist and invalidating. A lot of people have spoken about harvey milks legacy and he was killed and the person who became the board of supervisors. It is not any gamin elected any gay man in that position. We need a progressive woman of colour or man who represents the communities and most vulnerable first. I support most of the candidates on the league of the voters suggestions list. I think there was one white man. That is probably not the most important person to promote at this moment, i think it is important for us to support a woman of colour. With all due respect i respect london. I am proud to have london as my mayor right now. I absolutely think that we are at a critical moment to bring people of colour back to the city and bring our communities back and we need to have people advocate for them not tied to ron conway. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good evening again, supervisors and president breed. I am lisa aubry. District five resident of many year also. I support an interim mayor not running for the office of mayor in june of 2018. I feel it is very, very important that we have a neutral person and i think that naomi kelly could be a good place holder mayor. Thank you. Next speaker, please. I agree if you can find a neutral person i would like an interim mayor also. Two groups are on the board, moderates, mayors team and progress i have to the left of that. To the left of everyone here. The brown train with the same staff through that time continues to doing picking and choosing, moving along following the same plan. The plan has led us to we have 40 of the police episodes with mentally ill people in doorways within levels, housing that 90 of San Francisco cant afford, a hole in the hospital accommodation. If i was just a little bit hurt more and had a little breathing tube, i would be given a train ticket to go somewhere else. Go out of this county. Reduce our city carbon. Bring our teachers and m un i operates home instead of allowing the Real Estate Developers to take all of the bacon and the train, lets make profits not the central core of it. Lets make Community Housing with people that already live here can find a place to live. You can move out of your 20 and 30 year rent controlled apartment. You can be a senior in the county. The bay bridge, when you drive out of town on the right you see the three towers of the brannon. Two were pure profit. We need a mayor to break this. I am not sure london breed is that mayor. I would like to be pleasantly surprised and keep this clean. Thank you. Thank you for your comments. Are there any other members of the public to address the board regarding their preferred nominee . Please step into the line. My name is richard al. Last week when i got up in the morning, i opened the newspaper. I see that you standing side by side with supervisor pass kin making a commitment of improving the square that i am a retiree and i spend a lot of time in the square. We have a brand new restroom completed two years ago. We have more and more people spending a lot of time in apartments. I hope that the commitment for an expansion, making it a better place for all of us and increase the bathroom. We really need it, and we do have a musical stand, you know, play chinese music, Opera Singers every saturday and sunday and holidays. I really appreciate that. Besides the regular people i meet using the apartment square, we have a lot of tourists, you know, go by, too. I also see that both of you paskin and the mayor breed that you make the poor building that used to be a big restaurant the empress of china into a Chinese Museum honouring the contributions of the chinese americans, you know, people of this country. I support your running for mayor, and i know it takes a long time. Thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. I am darby. I am the daughter of a korean immigrant and mission resident. I look forward to london breed as mayor mostly because i totally agree we have too much. Good thing he is on public services. I cant wait to see more public property sold to private developers. I cant wait until most public goods are private and the welfare state is destroyed. I used to live in selma. I moved because the rent got too high. I love the thrill of my housing and security. It is amazing. San francisco got rich errands whiter under edly. Ed lee. I am looking forward to continuing in this trend under london breed. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Hello. My support is for london breed as interim mayor and again my support is for london breed as interim mayor and also candidate in the mayoral election. When it rains outside we need an umbrella. If somebody needs experience order an experience so we do not get wet. We are to build momentum. We dont want to cancel and start over. Mayor breed for interim mayor and for mayor of San Francisco. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good evening. I am harlan herara. I would like you to tell jeff scieszinski to help me with housing. I have been pleading to help me get a house in the city for the last year. I have met him three times personally and asked jeff, jeff, help me. I need a place to live. I dont want to be on the streets. It is not my fault i am in the streets. I am defective that i developed in the teen years. I am not an alcoholic. I dont smoke. I was a swimmer all my life. I developed that. I came down with that when i was attending city college and working. I came down with bipolar disorder. Schizophrenia. I got that. London breed i left you a letter in the Mayors Office to please tell jeff scieszinski to help me. He is not doing his job as the directory of homeless and housing supportive services. He is doing a very poor job and the city of San Francisco shouldnt allow so many people to sleep on the streets. That is not Charity Thanks is neglect. Everybody neglect. Everybody was pursuing the summer love, you know, it shouldnt be allowed to sleep on the streets and shoot up heroin and other drugs. You grew up in the city. I went to city college and came down with this affective disorder through no faults of my observe. It just happens. I have been pleading with jeff to help me. Since 1997. It just doesnt happen. Thank you. Thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. Good evening, madam chairman. Board of supervisors. Fred jordan, president of the or chairman of the San Francisco africanamerican chamber of commerce. I have been here before. Again, i expressed i am not representing the chamber, but i represent a lot of people in the black community, and i am here to express support for our interim mayor. I think she is doing a great job, and our position is that the charter says that the president of the board of supervisors becomes mayor. That is the way we want to see it. I think good things will happen if we continue to support mayor london breed. Lets just see what happens in june. Right now she has a lot of things happening. I support her and the black Community Support her. Thank you. Thank you for your comments. Before the next speaker i will ask if there are other members of the public who would like to provide their preferred nominee to the board. Now is your opportunity. Next speaker, please. Thank you so much. Distinguished members of the San Francisco board of supervisors, acting mayor london breed. Every member on this San Francisco board of supervisors peboard of supervisorsper is ind accomplished. As are all of the members we deal within this cabinets. We have in place in the city and county of San Francisco a process of cheques and balances. As president of the board you know that. You have elected her twice. What i want to say it is very concerning to me that i have listened to the concerns and speakers that have come up, as you know we have that process in place. She served us well. I have known her for many, many years when she was a young person coming out of college and working in the area, had an opportunity to work with many members of you here and i respect every one of you and respect your decisions. I know you are doing what you need to be doing. I want to ask. The world is watching San Francisco, the entire world. What is this cutting edge city going to do . Are they going to do the right thing . This is an africanamerican woman. Lets see what they are going to do. They have espoused every issue that has come before them. This is a difficult issue tonight. I recognize that. I prayed for everyone of you. Do the right thing. Support this young lady that is accomplished and she has done well. Thank you very much for your time. Thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. I am jennifer. I live in b5 with the democrats in San Francisco. I have to work late hours to afford represent here. Appointing london breed the caretaker mayor and i am out of breath. It is unacceptable. She is not a activist. She doesnt come from town people in their own district. I cant stand to think about another four, six, eight years of me having to run from work where i work late to speak out again
