To the clerk. Items acted upon will appear on the october 8 board of supervisors agenda unless otherwise stated. Item number 1 is ordinance amending the planning code to designate 2031 bush street, aka Kinmon Gakuen building, as a landmark under article 10 and affirming appropriate findings. Supervisor peskin thank you, ms. Major. Before we introduce Shannon Ferguson from the Planning Department, i would like to be listed as cosponsor of this landmark designation. The case report was really a pleasure to read and very well done. And very edifying and of course, speaks to terrible parts of our American History and San Francisco history relative, not only to executive order 9066, but acts of local governments, including our school board in the day. Its almost the opposite of todays dynamics where we have a racist, xenophobic president and a very Progressive School board. In those days, actually, Teddy Roosevelt i learned from the case report, was the one accusing, and correctly so, our s

Okay, thank you everyone that applied and did speak. Now were going to open this item up for Public Comment. Any member of the public who would like to speak . Please feel free to come forward. Hi, i actually was on the original Cannabis Task force in the late 1990s. I began working with cannabis to help alleviate medical problems. In 1997, i became a member and worked with the task force and work in the health department. I created the program at laguna honda, and i did a lot of talking at their conferences. Im here today to support ali and his bid for being on the seat. I have just a few notes that have come up in all the conversations i thought i would share. I did the patient work back then and champ was closed in 2002. Ive been helping patients underground and with medical cannabis.
