Orleans said that theres such a thing as a curse and maybe the curse of joe might be one of the reasons why the Gay Community has not been flourishing during the last 13 years. Thank you. Next speaker, is there anyone else who would like to speak . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Colleagues, can we move this forward without objection . Item 5 is an ordinance amending the health code to prohibit smoking at certain Outdoor Events. Thank you, colleagues, i am the sponsor of this item.

Security council to issue a statement, present a statement of a Security Council resolution, even, of the Current Situation and aggression that continues. This is a clear violation of International Law and u. N. Charter. That was our request to the president. And he promised to convey that to the Security Council member to discuss it, and we believe there will be a meeting in the near future. The outcome we dont know yet, but we willand actually close consultation with the Security Council members. Thank you, and my league will speak in more details about this issue. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much for being here. We spoke as the ambassador has just indicated with the president of the Security Council. We expressed our outrage at the action of the world communitythe International Community particularly of the Security Council to the onslaught that israel is currently conducting against the Palestinian People in the u.

City has actively in my opinion blunted any inquiry into his death. And i would urge that the owners of this bar do the Public Service by asking why any supervisor for this district so far has refuetzd to step forward and ask what happened to joseph malison, why was this gay man in my opinion bullied and forced to die a gruesome death while a city employee.

Ernestine weiss and first of all, eric, i want to congratulate you on this legislation. It is so needed i cannot tell you enough. It is incredible that we have to be exposed to smoke that leads to cancer. You walk along the sidewalk and people puff right into your face. Its awful. You really have to walk with a mask on its so prefl leapt. I yell at all these young people with cigarettes in their hands, throw it away, its poison. Some thank me and some look at me askapbs like what do i know. My father and brother died from this, unnecessarily, my father at 41 and i was only 6 years old and i never forgot it because it deprived me of his love and caring all my life. And my brother luckily lived to be 72 because he quit at one time and then he went back and all of a sudden he had a headache, they found that he had brain cancer and it started in his lungs.

Supervisor wiener. Thank you. Thank you, chairman mar for authoring this legislation and for all your work around second hand smoke issues. Im very supportive of this legislation. We need to have Public Places where everyone is able to use those places and you dont have some people doing things that make it harder for other people to be there. I think this moves us in that
