Developers here one developer. You know, for them its great. For the rest of us, terrible, unbelievable. Supervisor peskin says he cant understand what the problem is. He says tens of thousands of ceqa determinations are being made every year and only a couple dozens are appealed. Thats a small price to pay to try to save our environment, our quality of life. Its far more important than developers or speculators getting their profits. Thank you. Good afternoon. My name is genie kwok. The proposed changes to San Franciscos ceqa procedures have many problems such as incomprehensible appeals deadlines and a fiveacre exemption [speaker not understood]. It is on a 20acre campus. The focus of my talking to you today would be to ask you to please protect the peoples input and not allow the proposed changes that decrease opportunities for san franciscans to provide input and influence on projects prior to construction. The proposed shortened time period for appeals and in put provide insuffici

Commissioners, today i want to briefly speak about. You wanted to wait until item 5, is that correct . No. I have two cards. Got it. I think item 5 i will respond when that time comes. Okay. So thank you for giving me three minutes. So i wanted to speak a little bit about Community Benefits. So in the past, we have had a lot of experience just one of you all knows a lot about the water system Improvement Project when it comes to the Community Benefits. And having said that i wont go into the details of how those Community Benefits filtered down to san franciscans, because one of the reasons given, it went here, there and everywhere because it was regionwide. But when we talk about the sewer system Improvement Project, its in your backyard. Meaning, its meant for san franciscans. So right now some of us in the comm
I want to reinforce that the project sponsor could work with staff and to device some kind of landscaping. I know that would be deserve not making it a condition at this point but we can look at that commissioner. Commissioner. Yeah. I had a question for project sponsor. I know you mentioned the idea of a set bank is that still on the table i want to jump on board the 6 foot set back we had 5 and i cant remember from the hr dr decision so were set back at least 6 feet. So the set back has occurred. Absolutely. Absolutely thats a beautiful idea at all skinny became but 6 feet is a lot to work with. We have my clients here right now we can ask them thank you theres no need. Thank you.

Outlandish, unethical and criminal misuse of taxpayer funds. We further contend that any failure to immediately investigate and report findings there as to the misuse of these public funds signals a safe haven for such malfeasance and mocks the mission of this commission, where open government is recycled in the dark. At this commissions november meeting we intend to show the selection and award failed to comply with the Grant Agreement between the city and county of San Francisco and the Arts Commission. We intend to show the selection and award failed to comply with the sunshine ordinance, with respect to disclosure. We intend to show that the selection award failed to comply with the city charter, as to the requisite requirements for composition of the selection panelists relative to its purpose. We intend to show that the selection and award violates clear prohibitions contained in the Grant Agreement, precluding the use of stereotypes and discrimination against women and minoritie
[speaker not understood] hawkins okari. I was literally born, literally born in the most polluted neighborhood in this city in the southeast sector. I have literally lived in that area my entire life. Im a member of the black human rights Leadership Coalition and i am in total disagreement with this legislation. Good afternoon, commissioners. Steve [speaker not understood] for [speaker not understood]. Im here to speak in support of the legislation. That supervisor wiener has introduced. A little bit of history. Ceqa was introduced at the state level in 2003, submitted in 2002 starting january 1 of 2003 requiring every ceqa determination to be appealable to the legislative body of the county, in this case the board of supervisors. So, weve been ten years now with any procedures which [speaker not understood] cad ex appeals can go to a board. [speaker not understood] were the only county in the state where every permit is discretionary and therefore every permit is subject to ceqa. So,
