Also want to thank Kathrin Moore for all of her previous decisions, they are very hard to make and take a lot of courage. I hate to say jargon but shes thorough and complete and accurate just like irs. I appreciate her work on every issue. Thats what she is. Shes a pro. Thank you very much. I hope to have you approved today for your appointment. Thank you. Good afternoon, supervisors. My name is john schlessigner. Before i came to the meeting, i thought what makes a great Planning Commissioner. I came up with a fine point. Each project has to be considered as part of the whole and thats what keeps the city vibrant and livable. You have to make sure that someone makes sure that those voices that are not heard, are heard publically and somebody who understand the needs of a Neighborhood Organization that of a project sponsor and how those thoughts come to bear when rendering an opinion. Someone that understand when there are disputes on both sides with compromise and really strong though
In the commission, commissioner moore has always acted with integrity and earned the trust of her neighbors and colleagues. This process could use continuous support, sorry, this process could use a little bit more of this trust, supervisors. Thank you for your time. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Supervisors, my name is toby beesey and im commas a fellow architect and as well as an activist having served in the west soma task force and south park and several cacs.

Ever present complexities of San Francisco city planning. In my own work, mainly in other jurisdictions and other locals i often find myself sitting on the other side of the table and explaining to officials like yourself planning directors and commissions why good urban planning and designing are essential for the city and quality of life.

Tang, supervisor campos and those in an sense. Im jill crowley from the Neighborhood Network founded by people with good planning and Good Government. We meet most fridays at city hall in the cafe.
