Election was too long. That we have been prevented from an open, free and Fair Election for our District Attorney after 110 years of unbroken inkum benn see. With my Charter Amendments it would be. We, who are democratically elected to serve the people need to trust the people to decide for themselves who is best suited to represent them. I hope that as we Work Together to bring this Charter Amendment forward, in iron out details, we will. Thank you. The rest i submit. Clerk thank you, supervisor. Supervisor peskin. Submit. Thank you. Supervisor ronen. Thank you. Colleagues, today im introducing legislation to initiate a landmark designation for 7070woleey. Which unanimous resolution the board of supervisors declared the Garden District and explicitly called out the University Nursery greenhouses as one of the very few remaining physical markers of the historic role in flora culture. Immigrantowned and operated businesses that produced flowers to supply retail flourists flors forecast i lived there for several years and along with my former neighbors. Im proud of this unique history of San Franciscos flowergrowing district. The University Mound nursery and the remaining historic grown houses are a focal point of this cultural landscape. Initially, this request for landmark designation was proposed by members of the grassroots group, friends of 7070woolsley. An al analysis was prepared and documentation compiled and applications submitted to the sf Planning Department. Preservation staff and the Planning Department analyzed the nomination and concurred with Historic Resource evaluation that the property is significant and as well as meeting three of the four priorities for landmarking including the need to encourage designation and goughgraph i cannily under represented areas like the portala and submitted it to the Historic Preservation commission which hpc would district staff to add it. That would have been essentially the next step to flush out the analysis hold public hearings and who are charged with making the final designation about local landmarks. I was shocked when i listened to the recording of the h. P. C. Hearings. First, each commissioner mentioned theyve been contacted by the Mayors Office on behalf of the property owner. And u matily they declined the staff recommendation to add this project to the work plan. So i feel that i have no choice but to respond to this heavy handed hack tick and i oppose housing on the site. The hpc encourage a false choice between landmarking and housing and the sponsor and friends have at times set into that. But it is absolutely untrue. Landmarking will not preclude housing from being built and i will work with the developer and the community to find that solution. But in the meantime, i would like the Planning Department to properly and without improper corrupt influence analyze the historic merit of the property. Thank you, supervisor. I just want to be added to supervisor fewers legislation regarding the two bedrooms for teacher housing. We werent able to let her know before introduction. Thank you. Mr. President , that concludes the introduction of new business. Supervisor yee thank you, madam clerk. Lets go straight into Public Comment. The public may address the board for up to two minutes each on subject matter jurisdiction items within the hands of the board. You may speak for up to two minutes on the Board Meeting minutes. Items 3234 did not go through committee as you already know, items previously heard in committee that were subject to Public Comment may not be heard again today. Display document on the overhead projector, please, just put your document under the projector and remove it and when you would like the coverage to return to live coverage of the meeting. The president believes there might be a coup in the white house and ive asked people to get the podcast of yesterdays broadcast. Phillip mud and brandon and other former clapper directors of the c. I. A. Have made very threatening statements and i am praying the marines will execute them. These are epic times, ladies and gentlemen. Its hard to cram two hours into two minutes. I made a mistake at san jose, supervisors, we only got one minute a couple months ago and i said i was counting how many words and the bird landed on me and that was not true. Because i tried an hour into 60 seconds i made a mistake. If theres anyone out there watching that live, pray for me that god will help me in jesus name. Now what really happened was that i was praying after i counted how many words elijah had spoken and i was just pondering, you know, what he said and how god told him to a joint jesus to be king over israel and other things and i wrapped my head in the green flanel cotton shirt and a bird landed on my head it quacked and it flew off. Its interesting because it says here in second kings that the house they have their master may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets and the blood of all the ser visits of the lord for the whole house shall perish and i will cut off him that pissed against the wall and him that shut up and left in israel and i will make the house like the house of son the nebat and like the house of the son. And the dogs shall eat jess a bell. Supervisor yee next speaker. If you we need to keep him out of the chamber if he is going to behave that way. Next speaker, come on up. Unto the lord said peace. I dont understand what just happened. He has got it. Good afternoon, im peter war field. Library users association. And in an action of extraordinary arrogance and difference to Patrons Service and the San FranciscoPublic Library last month stopped making stopped the mailing of printed notices to patrons about activity on their accounts. That means the library quit a core function sending people notices of overdue, sending people notices that books are available. This was done with no public discussion or approval bit Library Commission and no advance notice to the public. There was nothing posted for the public at library locations. Instead, there was a single letter to recipients of printed notices announcing this as a done deal. And that notice didnt even mention that there are alternatives if folks want them and that would include email and telephone notifications. That will hurt a lot of people who dont have easy access to a computer and dont have email and who dont have a telephone or dont want notices in that way. What about language barriers . If you get a notice in english, by mail, you can take it to a Family Member or friend and can them what its about. There are serious issues of privacy. People being exposed to privacy breaches and the exploitation that that involves through the internet. Through email and phone notification. Its a reduction in Service Despite the fact that the librarys income from you allocations have gone up and up and up every year and theyre now at 160 million. We ask one or more of you to requesrequest thequestion the ls matter and they not degrade service with no due process and no public process ahead of time. Thank you. Good afternoon, supervisors. Nick. When a patron phones the library trying to find a book, the usual practice is for the librarian to set aside the book would a hold to be picked up at a branch. When the book has been retrieved, the library mails a notice. Without warning or notice of the impact of a change in this policy, the library has eliminated the mail notice. It bars the use of the library by 100,000 San Franciscos. Because of the damage this illconceived policy change inflicts on San Franciscos most vulnerable, this policy must be changed and restored to its longstanding Viable Service level. The Digital Divide is a life and thriving in San Francisco. Thanks to the mismanagement of the San FranciscoPublic Library. There are more than 100,000 san franciscans who dont have Internet Access in their homes. I am one them. A couple of weeks ago, i received an unsigned letter on the San FranciscoPublic Library letter head that effectively bars me and all 100,000 other san franciscans in the full use of all Library Services by virtue of requiring enter access. I believe this radical change longstanding library policy to be illegal. This policy runs contrary to the stated and mandated purpose of the library to serve all patrons with the same level of Service Without discriminating on the base of income, race, gender, religion or any of the long list of protectioned guaranteed by city, state and federal laws not limited to the california state civil rights act. If its not broken, dont fix it. Supervisor please be seated. If you dont respect us, then we will not respect you. Now, there is a word drawn out equity. If you look at our dictionary about the word equity, you will find there are members coming over here and they come here and plead and beg and tell you about what theyre suffering there is no empathy. There is no compassion. But most importantly theres no fairness and there is no justice. Thank you very much. Good afternoon, board of supervisors. You know, i look around. We lost one of our drivers october 3rd. I want to wish his family nothing but peace and happiness. Its very sad. Why cant we have spikes going the other way so that the drivers cannot get on the freeway like they do out places. Lets do something different. Lets shake it up, guys. I feel like no one really listens. People on their phones and talking to each other and acting like this is a big game. We have over 200 signatures now of drivers that want us to represent them. Do you know what every single one of these drivers say to me, they all say one word. One word. They say when . When . What are we doing . When . What do you guys want from us . Its the same old story here. War getting mass occurred. Im physically, emotionally and financially done. I have to look for a new place to live. I have maxed out my credit cards. Ive sold my car. Ive given you guys everything. Everything. I give you my time and you give us nothing. You dont even give us respect. Were not standing up here asking for anything than other than we deserve. How would you like it if im driving you down the street and texting my friend at the same time. Its disgusting, how secretary e traffic not be worse. You have to redo it all. Start over. Lets look back. Stand on california montgomery in the morning and count how many. When are we going to limit these guys right now it is subjugated by ride share companies. They made ride share and they have done nothing for hardworking. Theres nothing left for us. Everything has been looted by ride share. This is extorsion. And sfmta and city and involving this and i tell you explicitly this will be foreclosed soon. Prime with us make your final decision. Relief of us this imprisonment. Thank you. Good afternoon. I am in here to remind you last week we lost one dear friend and a driver. He is very, very hardworking person. I feel very sad talking about it because he has a wife, kids, like a family man. And i tell you the worse things i was 10 or 15 cars behind him. I see exactly what happened. Because i was the same situation. You imagine you sitting in your port three or four hours. They hold your and mentally, believe me. You drive far away and they levee your own car you imagine every day four hours is like that. We are sitting behind. Your feet blow up. And these guys, he was sitting behind a car. I know, maybe it was an accident but i dont see that. You guys and this situation killed him. Over a tire. He may be at the airport and he controls everything. He is more than three hours, the whole day. 12 or 14 hours. What do you expect . This is happening. And i want to remind you other things, new york, chicago, boston, other cities he was not like this in San Francisco. San francisco is guilty. Because they have to stand up for his m medallion. You broke your promise. You have to bring if back. No choice. You have to next speaker. Good afternoon, everybody. My name is abdullah and im a longtime taxi driver and the press shuprecious medallion anda father of five kids. I dont know what to say. We didnt give up yet. We have faith in the city of San Francisco. I tell my kids i want to keep the relationship with the city of San Francisco because we gave them 22 years. I dont say they lived to us. Well always respect you. Even if you listen to us or not, come on. Its way too much. I dont want to be in the freeway. I dont want to get in an accident when im driving a taxi. I want to exist from the shop and i want to give someone an opportunity to drive a taxi. We treat the customers maybe one of you ride in my taxi we get them home safe. You know, were human beings. We need you to feel with us. I came today not to pick up my check for money back or bail out, i cant drive and support my kids. One of the other drive and make the payment and keep my kids. I dont want to be homeless in the city of San Francisco. I see a lot. I show my kids all the homeless in every street. So, come on. Help. Help the people. Help the hardworking people. We love this city of San Francisco and we want to be part of the city. We want to remember you with the good things. You back up the cab drivers. You damage the drivers and you have to fix your damage. So that is what i have to say. Thank you. Good afternoon. Sam the taxi drivers and we come coming back and fourth again and again and nothing has been changed and the things are getting worse and worse and same like what we are losing and start losing hope on up guys and dont bring us up to the point where we lost complete hope. Some of you have promised us you will buy back. You promised us you will get our money back. Please, help us out. Everybody in San Francisco has the right to make a living wake. Why not the taxi driver . With the 250,000 investment we are not making a living wage. We are legalized under big slaves and this is the democra democracy. This is what you want to see the San Francisco and thats how you want to be remembered . We are finished. This is a question of all the board of supervisors how you would like to be remembered among the taxi drivers. At least you can give us some relief as long as you dont come up with the master plan of how you are going to buy back at least you can get us out from the neck of the Cab Companies that we are not making money but we are filling their tummies and theyre never going to say enough. We dont want your money anymore. They are so greedy that they are take our 700 a month and we can spend that towards mortgage and towards our future. Supervisor yee next speaker. Good afternoon. Its my first time here. The reason why im here is i just last week i was right behind the cab driver who died on the freeway so i have seen everything. So, i just want to ask how long we have to wait. Weve been back and fourth for almost eight years or nine years and that is no answer from you or the sfmta. We kept waiting and waiting. The sfmta told us the medallion and this plan and this plan has failed. Is there anyway to solve this problem. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker. I come down tonight to speak about how you have it in a room District Attorney appointed and felt very bad about that because i came down to speak out against mario woods shooting death and no one is going to speak out except for capper nick and capper nick was a Great Quarterback in that he put a need out and i want at statue put up in his behalf. I am pictures of it and everything. I enjoy being able to ex down here and speak out because you know, what is happening in hong kong and what happened over in chinatown, we are going through a lot of hell here in the city. And its on our backs what is going on. With cappernick and everything, he spoke for mario woods and mario woods brother are celebrating this moment right now. I thank you. Theres a lot going on in this world. And be able to come down here and speak out against all of that. You know, when kaepernick was out there in alcatraz, and they appointed him indian or you know, honorary chief, he said this is like a chapel here with the priest down here talking were all married to our lord jesus christ. He is just unbelievable for what he has done to us and i hope we can have a statue out here. Next speaker. Tom, i wish for this board and the mayor to create and sign a National Petition for the complete ban of all assault semi automatic rifles and wells in an the united states. Let other towns, cities and villages sign up. An opportunity to get some local majority out into washington too the people who are here. We dont need these weapons that kill people. We just want it changed. And i think the cities are the place where we can get the most amount of change. Were closer to the people. And the people that we need. Direct television, again, is canceling out or threatening to cancel out channel 2, ktvu and channel 7. If you are a broadcast station and you have news, a local news affiliation you should not be able to be canceled or cut off from your broadcast. No cable should have that ability. Right now, we are living in object sudden tee where we have thousands of people burn oil, pollute the air, set carbon dioxide, increase our disaster that is
