The advisory committees who do such important work. I realize this is an awkward thing to be coming out and speaking in support of oversight over a department that you work so regularly with. So i imagine that, you know, i just want to appreciate your courage and your partnership on this. I think it says a lot that the people who are on the front lines of serving our population thats experiencing homelessness believes strongly that there should be more accountability, transparency, and public input. I think that says a lot. Yes, i talk a lot about speed, and i dont think this is going to slow things down, but theres nothing more wrong than getting it wrong and having to do it over and over and over again. We have to listen to these folks not just at the beginning but throughout the process to make sure that we get it right. And when we deny them that opportunity, we are going to create so many delays throughout the process because were going to have to spend money to fix our mistakes,
[cheers and applause] we are all here wearing our Pink Triangle teachers out of can rotary for those who are forced to wear them out of the holocaust. [cheers and applause] ten years ago today, the Pink Triangle was set on fire right here on twin peaks. Like a phoenix we rose from the ashes and this display has continued ever since. It is ironic that a hate crime took place atop the symbol, which is there to prevent hate crimes. This display is a reminder that the third reich demonstrates how easily a government can die but divide minority scapegoats.

This compromise, while understanding a way to resolve the issue, its a loselose proposition, benefits neither side, and has no evidentiary basis. Point number three, if the commissioners push forward, despite the concerns, i would suggest nothing less than 6 30 a. M. To 9 30 p. M. Operating hours is reasonable. When i commute to work in menlo wash, i have to catch my bus at 7 00 a. M. I return home no earlier than 7 00 p. M. I have to feed my family dinner, especially during summer when its light, we deserve access to this beautiful space. In any future meetings, i hope, regarding this topic, i would request the home owners provide their disclosure packages to prove they did not knowingly move to this situation. And i would like an objective neutral party

Strength. As we were putting together the plan we fixated on the word generations and that that meant and the generations of people whose shoulders we stand on and who came before us to make it what it is today. Next year our theme is generations of hope. You can see how that plays out to the 50th anniversary. Every year we celebrate individuals and organizations, local heroes who have done so much to give back and build the lbgq community.
