On other subjects. Supervisors, the time has come to have a task, a task force or a team that supervises the subjects on which you supervisors bring to the chambers and talk and talk and talk and talk. When it comes to us, the public will get only two minutes. I have 20 seconds here. You can take it on. [ cheering and applause ]. Clerk before the next speaker ill just remind members in the Public Gallery that if you would like to show support, you have to use your supportive hands. We have a board rule if there are any audibles noises, we will interrupt the proceedings. Im known as yoyo man. Can i show you my 32 yoyo. I was thinking how it would be good if you had a yoyo with a city and county seal on it and give it out a samples. That would be great, city and county samples. Speaking of the circles, i just went to the casino at 2 00 is the wheel of fortune auditions. I dont know what its about. I guess its an audition. Its the casino for the wheel of fortune. I also want to talk about the taxin in bay view. We aint going to take it anymore no. I also wanted to say one last thing. Cities who need cities are the luckiest cities in the world. One city that needs another city, we love each city. Cities who need cities are the luckiest cities in the world. Thank you. Clerk sir, you are testing the president s patience. Ill just give you that reminder. Audible sounds are not allowed in the chamber. If you want to show your support, use your supportive hands. Excuse me, before the time starts, making it Public Comment on things not on the agenda is not fair. Clerk maam, im starting your time. I object. Thank you, supervisors, for introducing the resolution to close the camps. There was a huge march yesterday including 500 School Children chanting for the children in the camps. The problem has never been immigrants crossing borders. We need to flip the story. The root cause of the border crisis is that corporations can with impunity cross borders and exploit the rich resources of our countries and their labor. Destroying Economic Systems by underselling industries, steeling land and using the back of the military to create a constant state of intimidation. This is what has driven our brothers, sisters, children to flee for their lives and seek asylum in the u. S. Our current Economic System must have a labor force without rights to keep the pockets of c. E. O. S full. Isis is a rogue agency. The actions in the camps are illegal. It is time for San Francisco to demand that i. C. E. Leave our great city. We would need to boycott these agencies by withdrawing services to all these agencies, first and foremost, i. C. E. The next step would be for your staff to generate a list of all companies serving i. C. E. And send a letter to them explaining the resolution and our need to get i. C. E. Out. The public will need this list as well so activists can advocate for our hardworking community. There have been numerous demands across the country to abolish i. C. E. Lets lead the way. Good afternoon, supervisors. In the winter of 2000 i was elected to the Restoration Advisory Board of the Hunters Point shipyard. In august 2001 i founded the radioolog radioological subcommittee. I am here in support of a petition signed by 200 members of the bayview Hunters Point community, many of whom are here today on behalf of restoration of the rab. I have a letter i will be submitting to you. Restoration and Advisory Boards were instituted under the National Defense authorization act. They provide an opportunity and forum for stakeholders and Community Members to meet in a democratic setting that upholds open government laws. In fact, the Technical Assistance of Public ParticipationProgram Allows rabs to bring on consultants with regard to to toxic issues. Almost two years ago, september 2016, the navy sent a letter to the e. P. A. Codifying agreement that they will not propose any further transfers at Navy Property at the shipyard without results of investigations that show that the property is sach. I am going to be submitting some documentation that demonstrates that there is a Family Living at the southwestern border of the shipyard which on bio monitoring all four members have a bio marker of Steel Manufacturing as well as a toxic substance and chemical concern called manganese. Clerk thank you. A clerk will come pick that up from you. Next speaker, please. It feels good to be here. I am leo smarten. Im a longterm resident of bayview and Hunters Point. I am the president of the mothers and Fathers Committee right here with marie harrison. She taught me what i know. Were asking for a cleanup for the shipyard. I know yall know right from wrong, so i know yall know the shipyard is not cleaned up. Were asked for an Advisory Board to get back to government because it was dismembered. We wouldnt have a say. I want to be harder than what i am, but for some reason im not. We have people up here in bayview Hunters Point that are dying. I have friends that have cancer every day that are dying. This stuff is real. Its not a game. Were not saying this just to be doing this. We do this because its a matter of life. Buildings dont come before live s. Thank you. Clerk thank you. Next speaker, please. I am with the bayview mothers and Fathers Committee and im speaking on behalf of the future generation that need the community, the government agencies, the city hall all to come together to protected the people, our health, and the community. Were asking for comprehensive retesting of radioactive and toxic waste at the shipyard super fund site, as well as the reinstatement of the restoration board that was disbanded by the navy. We want to add grassroots Community Members to the community that represents and advocates for the bayview hunters Community Opinion not for lenor or your Bottom Dollar or the warriors, not for cash. This is for the health and wellbeing of children in our community, as well as fixing the pollution, the sea level, the toxins in the air that affect our wellbeing and quality of life. Thank you for listening. Please, please, look into the bayview Hunters Point situation. Honestly, dont accept the lies and the coverups. We need proper cleanup. Thank you. Thank you, maam. Next speaker, please. My name is sabrina and im a district 10 resident. Im also here to speak on behalf of the shipyard cleanup. We all are aware of the coverup by lenar, the navy, the city of San Francisco, the nusom family, the pelosi family, the brown family. We are well aware of that. But im also here to speak on behalf of the commission of animal control welfare. Given that i am a former member of the hospital, people are not aware that pets get everything we get. I have pets that have asthma. When pets and owners came in from district 10, many times missing their buses, it was transferred or diverted, their pets are suffering from arthritis. Many of these pets are companion pets. When losing a person as well as a pet from toxic waste, they call this mental illness, which many of your supervisors say you are against or trying to fight for. This causes people to go into a rampage possibly in the prison and juvenile, the same thing that, mr. Walton, youre trying to shut down. My concern is youre appointing clerk maam, that item is not being able to be spoken on today. Mr. Walker no, address the board as a whole. The same people are being appointed to the same positions when new faces and applications are being put in. I want everyone here to be aware of that someone needs to oversee you guys because what you guys are doing is illegal to the bayview. The pets need voices, we need voices. A Class Action Lawsuit needs to be done. Mr. Walton, you have failed your residents. I want you to know that. Clerk board as a whole. He is not taking us aware of all of anesthesia task forces. I am tired of it. We are dying over there. We are people. Hello. My name is gloria barren and i am a resident of district 10. I understand the shipyard is not on todays agenda. However, as a navy veteran i was stationed on a Nuclear Weapons supply ship in that very same shipyard and worked as a radioman for 12 years. For the last ten years ive been advocating for the testing and cleanup of the shipyard. Spending my time on this matter does not benefit me in any way financially. However, there are folks that benefit by having nothing done, building the market rate housing within and as one pregnant recent buyer at the shipyard announced at a Shipyard Community meeting, no disclosure to newcomers about the risk they are taking by purchasing a home there. Last year, here in chambers, there was a commendation presented for a shipyard advocate for her work on the issue. The thenpresident of the board of supervisors, london breed, told mrs. Harrison, we will get that shipyard cleaned up. Since then mrs. Harrison died because she could not breathe. I would like to also point out that this affects more people in the community than the ones you see here. For example, the San Francisco p. D. Crime lab is still down there. Theyre given bottled to drink. Why are they given bottled water to drink and the residents are not . Also, other people who think this is not an issue that will affect you. Food trucks that we often eat off of, food is prepared down there at the shipyard to this day. Last but not least, i think it is an insult to have ucsf has part of the reporting agency when they have property there along with their testing site that the public does not know about. Clerk thank you for your comment. Next speaker, please. I am the director of green action for health and environmental justice. The last time i believe its the last time i spoke before this body, some of the new board of supervisors were not here and i am glad you are here. In addition to sharing the concerns of many of our members of the community about the failure to insist on real tising and real cleanup and Real Community oversight of whats going on at the shipyard which is an outrage, the last time my friend was on the board of directors, she stood here with her oxygen tank. She begged the board of supervisors to grant green actions appeal to deny approval of the mixeduse process. The reason was in addition to gentrification and in addition to the refusal to allow language access, that e. I. R. Said significant for ever localized protrusion that could not be mitigated. The board voted for it anyhow. I hope you read the letter you received on august 28 from the bay area district. I hope you did read it. That letter told you that the approval of that project approved unacceptable air pollution for bayview Hunters Point. They have real concerns. I ask you respectfully, take two minutes. Read the august 28 letter that the air district sent the board of supervisors. We demand and respectfully request the board rescind its approval. Because if you dont, you will go on record as the previous board did of supporting poisoning the people of bayview Hunters Point. Its up to you. Were going to challenge you on that. Clerk thank you. Next speaker, please. Since theres two of you standing there, you get two minutes and then she can speak and have her two minutes. Shes here for support. My name is a. J. And this is naomi. We are two of the organizers for the recent process that took place yesterday in front of this office. That protest was to bring to light some of the issues that are impacting our immigrant refugee community, and in particular our demands. Many of them before you were are in the resolution that you all are going to be discussing. I want to thank from the top the supervisors who sponsored the bill. Thank you for support. Our biggest concern is that we want these concentration camps closed and we want our children freed. Its inhumane that many of us looked to the past and said never again. Right now that never again is happening. Were experiencing our children who are caged in these camps and we want our people to be immediately freed and we want our children to be reunited with their parents. [yellin [yelling]. Clerk close the door, mr. Sheriff. Thank you. In short, we appreciate your support. Theres a lot of work that we still have to do as a coalition. Once again, its the coalition to close the camps and free our children. We support the effort. Were very happy to see many of you there yesterday. Theres a lot of work there in front of us. But were confident that were going to put enough pressure for the Current Administration to shut these camps, return the children to their families, and move forward with our children. So to that regard, i just want to thank you very much. Clerk thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon, president and supervisors. Firstly, i would like to thank the board for sponsoring item 23. I am the president of the korean american profession society, also known as kaps. It was founded during the summer of 1992 as a response to the los angeles riots. The estimates of Property Damage were over 1 billion. Many korean immigrants lost their American Dreams in one day. Seeing this, koreans in the bay area wrote letters to each other to discuss a need for a network and a voice in case something similar were to break out in the bay area. Given the lack of a common background, we call ourselves the korean professional society. We still have those handwritten letters from 1992 and beyond until a. O. L. And hotmail. One of the traditional korean holidays is a place where families can pull themselves from the busy lives and give blessing to the harvest and the previous year. As a representative of kaps and a member of the Korean American Community, it is my american dream, as well as my community, that you support the resolution to formally represent chusak as a cultural event in San Francisco. Thank you for your time. Clerk thank you for your comments. Next speaker. Thank you for having us. My jamaica is ji and i am a mother of two and also a korean chef. I had the pleasure of being a Planning Committee for the chusak festival. We didnt have any money or didnt know how many people would be there. Guess how many people showed up . Over 5,000 people showed up. They celebrated with their food, music, craft. It was such a fun day. I suggest that you support the resolution that supervisor stephanie has given support to. We havent asked for many things, but we are revitalized. Clerk thank you for your comments. Good afternoon, supervisors. Im San Francisco korean american mom and this is my 4. 5 son. Clerk can you pull the microphone closer. We are both residents of district 2 and we wish to speak in favor of the chusak day resolution. Donald is actually the reason why this all started and we are here today. A few years ago i tried to take him to a festival to expose him to korean culture, but found out nothing of this kind exists in the bay area. I found out that korean women who are victims of Domestic Violence dont have equal opportunities. I thought what if we could bring everyone today to not only celebrate and showcase korean culture, but to have bilingual Community Booths to allow those underserved koreans a chance to find out about Free Services as well. My hope was that this festival could serve as a vehicle on a regular basis to serve for many koreans who need help and support. What started out as a day to expose donald to korean culture became more. The koreans dont have a place where they know korean will be spoken. This day could be that place. Granted korean chuseok day would be that day. That would bring together a Korean Community that needs our help and support. Clerk thank you for your help and comments. I am not korean but chinese. I spent my formative years in the u. S. In honolulu. Korean americans are the fifthlargest asianamerican group in the u. S. , and of the 90,000 who are San Francisco resident residents, a number of them are my dearest friends, just like the mom who spoke before me who cares deeply about the elderly and those in the community who suffer under domestic abuse. Chuseok day, in addition to supporting korean food and kpop is an event that can bring attention to the social Service Needs of the koreanamerican society in San Francisco. I support this resolution, recognizing september 13 as korean chuseok day and honoring the Korean Center for its contributions to the koreanamerican society. Hello. I am from district 6. I have been born and raised in San Francisco, and this weekend has been so special for me in my community. With the huge success of the firstever korean chuseok festival, might i add that my parents have been here for over 50 years. They pulled me aside and said they had never witnessed so many korean americans come together at one time. That was huge. Having to stay recognized would be icing on the cake for this great weekend. I am firmly in favor of this resolution and hope that you are all too. Thank you for your time. Clerk thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon, su
