Thank you so much. Mr. Clerk, would you please call item number four. Clerk item number four is the motion approvingrejecting the mayors nomination for ruby bolariashifrin for a term ending february 26, 2022. Supervisor walton thank you so much. Miss bolariashifrin, you have the floor. You know, when you cant get rid of your maiden name. So my name is ruby bolariashifrin. Im honored and humbled that the mayor has nominated me to be on the board. San francisco has been my home for most of my adult life. I started my career in the Environmental Movement in earth justice and after working with the Obama Campaign in 08 i bam an Event Organizer working with water and food rights. I wanted to learn more and went to ucla to earn my masters in urban and regional planning. After graduating, i worked in Real Estate Development in San Francisco both in the Office Market and as a regional manager for fi5point. My current role allows me to blend my Mission Driven roots and experience with my more technical housing knowledge. Besides visiting island for my birthday, i went to Treasure Island to learn about its rich history including the emergence of San Francisco as a force, including the navy was fascinating. I learned about the climate impaction plan. I am familiar with the island, its conditions, and history. Should i be appointed, my goals would include helping ensure Treasure Island development delivers on its promises so both current and future residents can enjoy the community. Im committed to learning the desires of the current residents and make sure theyre heard. We must think about the communities impacted with the development. It is my goal to promote transparency so that the outcomes are well understood. Throughout my career, i have sought to promote equity and believe the built environment, housing in particular, are key to building Thriving Communities where everyone has access to opportunity. I believe my experience working with impacted communities, development, and supporting policy change would be put to good use to supporting the public in this role. Treasure island will become a destination for bayarea residents and tourists around the world. I would work with the board to building Treasure Island into a better place for our city. I thank you for your support. I also have some letters inform are your support letters for your support. Supervisor walton do you have any questions, supervisor mar . Ye supervisor mar i did have some questions well, just to say youre youre youre a really impressive candidate, and you bring a lot of of great per spspectives and to t great work happening around the development. I was just wondering if you could elaborate a little bit more maybe on how you would approach working with the current residents to ensure their concerns and their voices are included, you know, as this important work moves forward. Yeah, absolutely. One of the things ive been able to do is work with supervisor haneys office to identify some of the Community Leaders and activists on the island, so ive setup meetings with them to meet with them and hear more of what their concerns are, not only with the island Bohemian Rhapsody their engagement in the gorchsance and process . So one, just listening, theyre the experts, theyre the impacted community. Theyre the ones that should be proposing both the concerns and their solutions. And i think that what i would like to do, some of the concerns that i have heard about are the residents post d. D. A. And what happens with them . The toll and congestion pricing, and the desperate impact it has on lowincome folks. So i think both of those issues are solvable . But making sure that the current residents are have a seat at the table in coming up with those policy decisions i think will be critical, so thats something that i hope to bring. Supervisor mar thank you. And i think for this project and others that that are potentially contentious, and theres different interests, sometimes competing interests, i think Building Trust among the different stakeholders is really key, do you have any thoughts about how we can continue to foster and built more trustine tida and the residents and the businesses . Yeah, in my current job, i would say that 90 of my job is Building Trust, so i think that this would be a very similar situation and a similar use of my skills in that way in engaging with folks especially oneonone and on us the realm of and outside the realm of a courtroom, having more of informal conversations. And proof is in the pudding, right . So i think step one, listening, talking, engaging, bringing those concerns up within the tida board but also acting on that, right . Talk is cheap, and so itll be really important that the board is able to take action that reflects the concerns of the community. Supervisor mar great. Thank you, and just maybe one more specific question as an example. What are your thoughts on the proposed tolls. So congestion pricing is not new. It exists in london, singapore. So i think there is a model and by the way, there are exemptions for lowincome folks. So there are model that we can look to to try to find the most equitiable solutions here . So i think there needs to be some carve outs, but what that looks like the devil is in the details . But i think that is a conversation that needs to be on the table. Supervisor walton so you mentioned a little bit on talking about what concerns residents have for their rights postd. D. A. What kinds of ideas are you thinking about working with the residents on so that they can keep their rights . Yeah, absolutely. So the d. D. A. Was signed almost ten years ago, right . So, like, this is not something where you sign the d. D. A. And then, a year later, right . This is now something where youve had folks living in the community for a while, so we need to be looking at something that include them in an equitiable way but dont threaten their housing. In another job, we had folks eligible for considerable upgrades, and folks were moving in not considered under that same agreement. So we had to work there was the government side, and an n. G. O. That we were working it, so we worked together to find a solution to incorporate these residents and what that would look like. And what that was based on was Community Participation and engagement. So i think one thing to figure out is what that looks like for folks in the community and then figure out whats possible. Supervisor walton how would you work with the residents to make sure that the site is clean, there arent any radiological hazards, health issues. How would you make sure we do the right thing in that area . Absolutely. So one of the main things and this is where i think communication and transparency is key. A lot of times, folks say trust me or do it in a way that doesnt resonate. Step one is understanding and then tida could be involved in the communitien gamgment process to get Community Results and get community buyin. So gaugement process to get Community Results and get community buyin. This goes back to what supervisor mar was saying about Building Trust and Building Trust in the community. Supervisor walton theres always communication concerns particularly when were talking about development, and we know that there are populations of folks that english is not their first language. How are you going to ensure that information gets out to residents where english is not their first language . Absolutely. I think we need to have demographics around the community and stuff so we know what were dealing with in terms of how to communicate . Because theres other things to deal with. And then, the second step is to work with i mean, i would probably hire a consulting firm, also, that can put together either consulting probably more appropriate would be, too, Community Groups that exist in the city . I think Treasure Island sometimes feels isolated, and theres a lot of amazing Community Groups that exist in San Francisco that if given a Little Community support would be happy to lend their services to Treasure Island, and so thinking about how we can share our resources in San Francisco. Supervisor walton thank you. Any other questions, supervisor mar . With that said, we will open this item up to Public Comment. If anyone would like to speak, you can lineup to my left, your right, and you have two minutes. I want you to pay real close attention. First of all, theres no concrete test results on that r radio active material at Treasure Island. I recommend you getting hired, but theres a recommendation to getting those samples tested. Theres an example of a black man coming to the offices of jane kim to talk about the cancer that he was diagnosed with, and jane kim slammed the door in his face. This complex on my right is a threestory Apartment Building apartment of 144 units, and the price is 56 million per 144 units. Its the best bargain in construction of apartment complex in the whole god damn city and county of San Francisco. Im upset that youre not taking advantage of my information. Theres another apartment complex, as well. Its an 87unit apartment complex. Its being built and sold for 57 million complex. Three times nine is 29. Th 27. That means you could build three complexes and use the same technique as this 87unit apartment complex and take chunks out of the homeless. Weve got a rule that says 15 of all Apartment Building complexes are supposed to be for lowincome and very lowincome and youre not using it. Thats why youve got supervisor walton thank you, mr. Wright. Any other Public Comment . And please feel free to lineup over there if you plan to speak. Hi. Im katelyn fox. Im a resident of San Franciscos district ten . And i work with ruby, and she managed our housing portfolio which is within the justice and opportunity initiative. I believe ruby would be an excellent member of the Treasure Island Development Authority for three reasons. First her passion for housing is undeniable. Her career speaks to this issue, and seeing it from multiple points. She has helped craft a comprehensive nuanced strategy to develop housing in our region and in our state. She is able to push for very Bold Solutions for our housing. Ive seen firsthand that ruby does this beautifully. Third, she is committed to ensuring equity and addressing the consequences that may impact the most vulnerable residences. She makes sure that no one is left out of living in the city and benefiting from our regions growth. So i think that ruby would be an excellent addition to the committee and i fully support her recommendation to the committee. Thank you. Supervisor walton next speaker. Hi. Im anna lee gould. Ive known ruby over a decade as well and her commitment not only to the members of San Francisco but to the members of this most Vulnerable Community is something thats truly drawn me and others to her. I started working with her back in 2009, i believe, as a Domestic Violence crisis counselor for womens inc . She has continued to show her dedication to the womens rights issues. Global fund for women is another project that she dedicates her time to that ive seen firsthand how effective she can be. Shes clearly empathetic and passional but above all, pragmatic which will serve her and the other Community Members well. So i strongly support the nomination, and i appreciate the time. My name isally jones. Im a tenyear resident of San Francisco. Im here today to offer my personal recommendation for ruby bolariashifrin to the Treasure Island Development Authority. Ive been lucky to know ruby over 20 years. We grew up in sacramento. Ruby takes it upon herself to right the wrongs in the world and inspires those lucky enough to be around her to do the same. I know she would excel as a board member because she represents everyone in Treasure Island. Her determination and passion to make a difference, and her commitment to use housing as a tool to create opportunities in San Francisco, across california, and as you heard internationally where she worked to approve housing settlements in johennesburg, south africa. I know she will take this position seriously and create a Treasure Island that is equitiable and offer opportunities to those who face the greatest barriers. I ask that you support mayor breed aways recommendation and appoint ruby to the Treasure Island Development Authority. Thank you. Supervisor walton thank you. Next speaker, please. My name is j. D. Baselco. Ruby and i met seven years ago at ucla. We took many of the same classes, including those focused on Affordable Housing development and planning. She was always speaking out for those who dont have a joyce. This stems from her own personal experiences and experience in personal justice. Ruby is unwaivering in this, regardless of the situation she finds herself in both personally and professionally. Shes not afraid to speak up and asks the hard questions when evaluating a situation which i think will make her especially value for this commission. Lastly, ruby is an active member of all of her various communities that she finds herself in. For example, she initiated ucla Alumni Association in the area. I have no doubt that ruby will bring a Community Oriented and technically sound perspective to this board, and i urge you to support her nomination. Thank you. Supervisor walton thank you.

Im a proud resident of the Mission District in San Francisco. Ive known ruby almost two years in personal engagement as well as professional capacities. Given my past experience and the contacts and interests i maintain in these areas, ive had the opportunity to learn about rubys work in a professional context. She has a thoughtful approach to solving problems to ensure all voices with heard. In many situations she has proven herself to be the most engaged and impactful when shes helping others. I support rubys nomination to the Treasure Island Development Authority and i urge you to do the same. Supervisor walton thank you. Is there any other Public Comment .
