The navy turned it down. Finally, about six or eight months ago we found two sites and we asked the navy again and they refused. But this time they actually gave us an answer and they said that they really didnt want a dog park because it was too detrimental to the ground. It tore up the ground. And, you know, they didnt want it. And, so, shortly after that we found that the radiation sites had there had been more sites that had opened up. And, so, we find that its a little bit strange that this all happened at this particular time. And were sort of wondering why did this happen at this particular point in time and who is involved and who knew and when. One of the things i really want to talk about is that, for the record, im very much for this redevelopment because im not certain how much longer i can take twice weekly blackouts and roads that havent been repaired and cannot be repaired because its too costly. The state apparently has to come supervise the digging of the roads up and,
The hearing today, i just want to let you know that thats something that our office is working on. Were convening the Public Utilities commission and the City Administrators Office and tida to see what we can do to support the aging infrastructure through which our electricity runs through. As many of you know, this is the infrastructure that well, actually we havent inherited yet, but its currently owned by the u. S. Navy. Its aging. They havent put in the investment to improve it mainly because when the new Development Goes in, were going to set up an entirely new grid for electricity. That being said, we have residents on the island today that depend on that infrastructure and we need to figure out a solution to that issue. And im hoping that well be able to announce something over the next couple of weeks that we would be able to serve the residents. I apologize. I know it is impacting your daily life but i wanted to address that before we start the hearing. So, without further ado
Enough anecdotal material to state that these people have cancer issues. They have leukemias and theyre dying of cancer. And, so, it seems to me that we need to either get uc or one of the uc campuses, we need to get the navy to release these information, perhaps we have to get congresswoman pelosi involved. Perhaps we have to get Lieutenant Governor newsome involved and perhaps willie brown. But it seems to me there needs to be some study. There also needs to be something done for the residents who are currently here who are experiencing a disease process that cant be figured out. And, so, it would be really quite helpful if we could get these issues taken care. Of. Thank you. Thank you, ms. Rapoport. Actually initially i did give two minutes. Im comfortable extending it to three minutes given the issues this brings up. Thank you. Hi, my name is vanessa jackson. And the concern i have is that at least back when willie lynch was lynching people we knew what to expect. This is like a si
Support. Thank you, ms. [speaker not understood]. Good afternoon, supervisors. My name is ernest stokes. Im a long time resident of San Francisco, i live in the bayview district. Basically im here because im in favor of the fair chance ordinance because i believe the legislation the way it is right now is unjust. I when a person has served their time, served out their sentence, the [speaker not understood] should end. Without the fair chance ordinance, there is no end to the punishment. I mean, they are continuously being punished. The current legislation which presupposes a number of things. Number one, people cant change, cant grow, cant be rehabilitated. In other words, it presupposes that. The history is destiny. Fair chance ordinance says that, number one, we believe in people and that people can change, can grow, and everyone can make a contribution to society. In closing, id like to say that every saint has a past. Every sinner has a future, and thats why i support fair chance o
Us. But because of her felonies its really hard for her to do that when she was released. Now im able to live with her and shes able to keep up a job and a house, but it was just really hard and i could only imagine for people who have more kids than my mom or anything like that, who has a lot of felonies and arent able to work. So, yeah, im done. Thank you. Thank you, ms. [speaker not understood], for sharing your story. Hi, my name is jeannetta johnson. Im the director of programs at transgender [speaker not understood] also known as ttijp and im also a proud member of all of us or none. And i just wanted to come up and just say that i work with transgender people that are getting out of prison and its been really challenging to find employment and housing and its almost like being transgender and you have the other like stripe on your back or other different franchisement on you. We would like to eliminate if we could at least eliminate that, that would be really, really great. So w
