We think he brings great wisdom and is fair and im delighted personally that he is on the board, on this new commission, the commission on Community Investment and infrastructure, if i got that right. Im also here to support the nomination of mara rosales who i have known since 1985 when she was assistant city attorney. Worked with her when we were trying to bring Asian Indians into the mlp program. Enough has been said about her so im not going to say anything further. I am in support of all the members.

Supervisor farrell, supervisor avalos, i was on the south of Market Committee for 10 years, during that time at many meetings i would go to the Redevelopment Agency. Theres one person i dont recall ever missing a meeting and that was dar sing.

I really appreciate dar sing, all the great supportive galas and the bayview area dealing with the Hunters Point, i believe he is a wellseas
And the bayview area dealing with the Hunters Point, i believe he is a wellseasoned individual and im sure youve heard plenty of the same thing but im standing before this group to say the sank thing. Good afternoon, supervisors, my nais is chris moscone. Im here to support mara rosales. Ill be brief, everyone has said a mouthful and very he will eloquently, including the nominees. Mara and i have been working together for many years and i think what she brings to this commission will be a plus. She knows a lot about city process, city law, public law. I think its a great choice and i look forward to this whole commission. Im really happy to be here. Thank you. Thank you, mr. Moscone. Good afternoon, supervisors, my name is robert woods and i would like to say this, that its not the candidates that i speak towards, the candidates are very much so qualified. I speak to the process in terms of how those names was developed. When the commission, the successor commission, have a meeting an
Successor commission, have a meeting and no one shows up in the meeting is canceled and then you come here and you see people being nominated and the community have not been involved in it other than within their little close circles and i say to you that we look forward to them being on board but we question, we will question the decisions that they make because the decisions that they make will affect the community and since we did not have any input up front, we will question them and we will want to know why and who developed, who there in the car with in terms of who they make these decisions for.

I will be as brief as i can, my name is petra de jesus. She is great, she is creative, she is collaborative, she is smart, you cant ask for a better person to sit on the commission.

Shes big for Affordable Housing where we live, her and i, we have young Adult Children trying to live and work in San Francisco, trying to make it here. We live in a community with many senior citizens. She is very conscious of that and shes aware of that. I also want it say the mayor has done a great job in terms of the candidates hes picked and the diversity they represent and they are all outstanding candidates. She would be great, you cant good wrong, we can agree to disagree on some things but she is very supportive on a lot of the issues that are near and dear to our hearts. Ive seen her out in the community, her and her son, stomping, working, would be a good representative as well. Th
