Building a lot of Affordable Housing units, making sure that the devis gained and it happens when you have local people working on these buildings. So, im glad to say my dad worked on the transamerica building, pier 39, so we want the same thing for other residents of this city to be able to look to these developments within the ocii jurisdiction to say you know waxer i helped build that, not only i helped build it but im also living in it so we make it affordable for people from this city, certificate of preference has been a huge deal for us, something weve been pushing staff almost probably working too hard, pushing them to make sure we have people who have their certificate of preference to come back into their communities.

I was able to help her understand that she was a Seasonal Worker at the San Francisco giants and by working with her to understand the rules, she was able to get into one of the developments on forestry and stay if San Francisco with her family. It has been a graelt opportunity to really put the perception of a parent and a working parent when were meeting with the developers so that they can see what it means for parking for working class families and the disabled and seniors and the importance to prioritize their parking so that they have accessibility in their neighborhood, also making sure that the Community Benefit from the Legacy Foundation are really there to help the community as well.

The [inaudible] our core values are integrity first, excellence if all we do and serve before thy self, sbekt is the highest moral standards, excellence in all we do, dar is a perfectionist and dar has been serving the community for over 50 years, so what better three words the describe dar, lastly, i would be remiss not to mention olivia, the whole saying is behind every man, there is a good woman, and behind every good woman, theres a good man so, lets reappoint dar and make history. Thank you. Thank you, next speaker, just a reminder, each speaker has two minutes, if you can please state your name into the record, thank you. My name is steven cornell, a resident of district 7 and i have a business in district 3. I have known dar singh through the Council District merchants for over 30 years. We highly respect dar, one thing good about him and whats god for the city is he used to be our president , hes still on our board of directors, he faithfully come tos all of our meetings and is a part of it, he knows whats going on in the Small Business community in San Francisco and can represent us well, so i hope you will reappoint him, it will be a good thing for all of us in the city. Thank you, next speaker. My name is gwen kaplan, im a Small Business own ner the northeast Mission Association area and i met dar originally through the council of district merchants.

Thank you. Thank you, next speaker. Henry [inaudible], San Francisco council of district merchants association, ive known dar for many, many years back in the days of redevelopment when i sat on the south of mashlgt project Area Committee for some ten years and dar was on the redevelopment agency, and dars someone who really cares abwhere the money goes, through projects that he would not approve unless he thought they were for the benefit of the community. He really is an excellent person to be on the commission and i strongly urge you to reappoint him to that, again, as one of the other speakers said, he always comes to the Council Meetings and hes a very dedicated person and he never misses a meeting, hes always there, and i want to say Miguel Bustos and Leah Pimentel, i also hope you will reappoint them, theyre wonderful people. Any other member of the comment would like to comment on items 13, please come forward and state your name. My name is anglo king, how are you . I would like to say its very important our brand i ran here to support mr. Singh, its important to have institutional memory on these appointments because sometimes you need to know the whole picture, with the dismants ling of redwoment and what was left, sometimes people dont recall what was the point of it all from curing blight to getting businesses started to the kind of Economic Development that needs to happen, these things are always remembered, not only that, every time i see mr. Singh, any time i see him anywhere, first thing hell say is how is your family, how is your business, what do you need out here, hes an excellent Public Servant and a credit to government and im here because i think theses the kind of person that needs to represent the city especially in these kind of matters to make sure parts of San Francisco get the same kind of economic benefit that the rest of San Francisco has and that its spread out equitably including the people bho were impacted when they didnt get to share in the first round of San Francisco [inaudible] and you can only think like that when you have an institutional memory that lasts only four years so im here to support mr. Singh as well as some of the other commissioners but red took off of work to support this man because hes always in the corner of people to try to benefit these neighborhoods. Thank you, mr. King, any other members that wish to comment on items 13 . Chester williams, hp unity from the bayview area and im here to comment on all of the current commissioners, theres a word we always use, if its not broke, dont fix it. You have a good group of people that are working tirelessly with the community, they have over 30 years of experience and im suggesting that some of the things that San Francisco does wrong is it changes people too often on commissions so im recommending that you do not change those that are on the commission. You have a good group and lets have them do another term. Thank you. Thank you. Are there any other members of the public that wish to testify . Seeing none, public testimony is now closed. Any additional comments, colleagues . Supervisor yee . So, thank you, chair safai, can i ask the clerk, is it possible to in the past, this is what ive done, to either get the information from the particular commission or department or whatever body is serving the information on peoples attendance and also the it would be really helpful like on item number 4 where it lists the people that are already serving so it gives me a better sen of the balance that i would like to see on these committees if possible. Sometimes when we have opportunities to select people in an open seat, do we need a certain demographics or do we need a certain ethic group or whatever, it would be really helpful as we move into the future. I will work with the board to work your office to see if we can get that information prior to the meeting for you or prior to the committee. That would be really useful, besides that, the three people that are up for reappointment, i plan to fully support. I know who they are, i know their work and i think they do good work. Redo you want me to make a motion . Ill go ahead and make a potion motion to confirm all three members and move forward a positive recommendation. I think thats right, i think the only thing i think is because its a confirmation, i think we need to amend, so i think you have to amend motions on line 3 and 14 to confirm, we want to confirm the mayors appointments . You confirmed it . Yes. Er can i have a second . Second great, without objection, that will be the order. Yes, just to confirm, the motions have been amended to confirm the members recommended by the Mayors Office and the matter will be recommended to the board of supervisors. To the full board, yes. Ye. Perfect. , con grafp lacing, commissioners on your appointment. Next item. Item number 4, hearing to consider appointing 10 member tos the Bicycle Advisory Committee for a two year terms or for the tenure of the nominating supervisor, whichever is shorter in duration.

In addition, i do want the say that i support a vigorous public debate and by that, i mean substance and civil discourse, so i want to work with the various constituencies and i want to make sure that the bicycling constituency is not at odds with the disabled constituency nor with the pedestrians and i think the city can be brought together around this issue and thats what im here to do, so thank you. Thank you, any questions . I just want to thank you and other members of the Bike Coalition to bring the ghost bike legislation. What happened to it . As far as i know, nothing is happening, i have a subcommittee with me and bert hill whos the head of the bac, and he is leading the charge to reach out to the epw, we want to find out what their needs and constraints are before we suggest an ordinance, we want to stay within whatever it is that they have to comply with whenever they consider this kind of an issue.
