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
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. It was thanks to the Redevelopment Agency there was jobs provided, housing provided and a lot of south of market got revitalized. I will be brief and urge you to approve these nominations. Thank you. Good afternoon, supervisors, my name is gary banks, founder of family restoration house, a Nonprofit Organization located in district 10. Also i served on the project Area Committee bayview and currently on San Francisco eoc, and im standing here in support of dar sing and also the other candidates. I believe we have a great eclectic group of individuals who i believe will serve our community in a very good way. 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. And thats what we have been missing in the community. We have not been missing representatives but weve been missing some type of tangibles that give the community some type of hope. Right now, like i said before, you have been whistling past the graveyard for so long that the community have not been, the communitys not dead yet. And i say to you watch the decisions that are made and how
