Of that work, its very important as we wind down the responsibilities of the successor agency. So again, happy to move forward Theo Ellington for seat 1, merily mondajar for seat 3, i want to thank all the member s of the public who came and also waited to speak. We really appreciate that as many of you as possible tried to consolidate your comments as well. Its very clear there is broad support for the 5 commissioner appointees here before us. So we have a motion and a second and we can move forward these items. One thing i wanted to add. Im sorry, supervisor afl loels. You just reminded me in your comments and i think its important for some concurrence from members of this committee about public input. There were some members who came here who spoke for Public Comment and thought there were parts of the community that werent necessarily consulted, this project is moving a little too fast. I listened to it but i also feel like the disappointed candidates today but it speaks to the nee
Four of these candidates are profoundly impressive in their qualifications for this type of work. But there is a problem and that is with public process. Its vital to remember that the reason we made sure that some of us fought so hard to make sure that neighborhood representatives were on this commission is that that is right of pa process of appointing them was supposed to entail going to those neighborhoods in depth and getting their input on who these appointees should be. For this to be noticed a few days ago at holiday time is very problematic to that process. Just to show an example of why this is so important and why we need to wait until the second meeting in january to nail down these appointments, as impressive as they are, none of the appointees when they stood up said one word about the fact that the bayview Hunters Point Development Area is a federal Super Fund Site. 30,000 people in the bayview Hunters Point signed a petition to put a measure on the ballot because of the
inaudible Monitoring Committee and i became aware of the Committee Vacancy just prior to those nominations to the Monitoring Committee. I had withdrawn my application and you had gone ahead and forwarded 5 nominees to fill 6 seats. I am going through the local homeless coordinating board for a separate seat on the shelter and monitoring board to that body. Working on both these committees will not really impact my time a great deal. The Committee Meetings are in the evening, i live within the district, work parttime right now at laguna honda as a patient mentor to aids patients, those who are hiv positive. I was just really surprised to see or to hear this opportunity, committee opportunity, occur at the same time i was here for the elder Monitoring Committee. Thank you. Are there any questions from Committee Members . Just curious, i used to live in isla vista. Just curious what your contributions to the landscape in isla vista were. Actually, my contribution was more to Community Ser
Upscale condominiums. I see this occurring throughout the boundary areas of the marketoctavia corridor. But im also interested in our public aesthetic despite our decreasing Square Footage for higher income earners decreasing and decreasing opportunities for low income residents, seniors and those disabled within the boundaries of this planned district, its important to be able to preserve and keep these as well as develop new opportunities with local nonprofit agencies which are developing such as Affordable Housing opportunities for a variety for diversity of our population which really needs the assistance, not only do we have to keep our middle class and our families in San Francisco, we need to keep our entire age and income and ethnic population spectrum intact in San Francisco. But i am very concerned, as i said before, with the public aesthetic. Things do have to move forward. So im open to any questions you may have. Thank you, mr. Steen actually, just really quickly, actually
Community gardening opportunities for low to moderate to affordable income residents, the keeping of upper Market Street at least as a sunshine corridor so that the building, the new growth and developments occurring along the Market Street corridor dont overshadow the upper Market Street. I have been quite concerned with two years ago there was a lot of holes in the ground, to put it plainry, walking up and down Market Street and throughout the marketoctavia corridor and boundaries, most of those holes have been virtually plugged up. There is not much vacant land level for development. This has occurred in the last 24 months, its very easy to see, the disappearing vacant land. In any event i would like to also, i am also very interested in pedestrian safety, developing pedestrian amenities along Market Street, increasing decreasing vehicular traffic and increasing bicycling opportunities and im also very interested in generally not only the development of low income and very low Incom
