Thank you. Good evening and welcome. Thank you. Gary witman and speaking to you as a friend of ms. Sheryl hogan. For those who dont know me to acquaint you with my background i was General Council in the white house under president s nixon and ford. Associate slolicitor under president carter and at another time director of the office of staff attorneys at the u. S. Court of appeals ninth circuit and taught environment law at all the uc law schools in northern california. Last fall you rejected ms. Hogans appeal when she asked did approval of a small wireless facility installed 12 feet from her window. She provided a peerreviewed of Scientific Evidence by uc berkeley. I understand you referred that binder for comment but for whatever reason now eight months later i also understand neither the board nor the public has received any comment or evaluation of those studies. Back to ms. Hogan, shortly after installation of the facility on or about november 20, she became ill and was diagnosed with a fastgrowing brain tumor, a blast toe blastoma and undr went surgery march 2 and as i wrote this document she was still in the intensive care unit. All her friends have their fingers crossed. My first request is for the love of god help provide humanitarian help. Please turn off the power to the facility right outside of her window so the can go home and recover from this devastating experience at home. Second, we would ask you remove this facility entirely since it is almost certain to promote the growth of her brain cancer so long as she resides there. So we know one cannot with 100 certainty say the cancer was caused by this particular installation, on the other hand 30 seconds, sir. Thats three minutes . 30 seconds more, sir. The probability was it was caused by that particular installation and investigation i think would verify that. There was a you had a chance to make a decision at the time you were told the World Health Organization classified this has a possible carcinogen and at this point we ask for humanitarian help for this woman. Your time is up. And make her home safe for her return. If you can give a speaker card to mr. Longway, please. May i make a comment, please . Pardon . Please do. First and foremost obviously this board sends their best wishes to ms. Hogan for her recovery. You know if youve participated in our board activities you know you have very sympathetic ears to the subject because of the request remade to the public of health which as you note has gone unfulfilled and not gone unnoticed by this board and i would like you to inform them one of our appellants has suffered an illness which may or may not be related to the installation of the piece of equipment but most importantly, once again we request for mally they show a great sense in urgency in following up what has documentation from at least some as a very Urgent Health issue. Thanks very much. I will do so and were very sorry. I will followup since therell be more public speakers. Unfortunate unfortunately, the board is not hearing the mobile antenna cases in the bulk were were prior. Some of our power has been stripped in regard to the mobile towers isnt that correct . Yes, the permits no longer required on many poles in the city. Because the permits theres no required permit theres nothing to appeal that comes before this body. Secondly, this body has repeatedly denied permits and repeatedly repeatedly we lost in court as were liable for hour decisions as well but thank you for your Public Comment. I hope you can nevertheless authorize the thing to be depowered. I thank mr. Swig for his statement. Thank you. Welcome, next speaker. Good evening. Members of board swig, thank you for your humanitarian outlook. Mr. Honda, thank you. I came in because shes a friend of mine too but i would like to talk to you about science because i have more sympathy than some given its taken a long time to get it done because its been tied up with the covid 19 and since were aware here i think all of us from sheryls work for one the United States governments nation institutes of Health Toxicology program has affirmatively determined theres a direct cause between the radiation type and the root cells of g glialblastoma and threes a neurological impairment suggested and i hope youll look at this and that in light of the city of San Francisco has issued a state of emergency for covid 19 the fact well be spraying the entire city and inhabitants on something we know will have an immunological experience we go to whatever forum we can reach and i heard about the limitations of your powers but were just citizens trying to make the best presentation we can and supply the best information we can. Certainly cheryls thick binder which you have, has a lot in it. The central idea and one other thing i want to say, weve all been conned including me. To find out what i mean by that please look at the march 29, 2008 theres an article how big wireless convince the us cell phones are shake articulating the work of joel carlo retained by the Cellular Association and kicked off after he determined in the mid90s its carcinogenic and march 29, 2018 edition of the nation magazine. Its well worth looking at. Got carried away thinking about cheryl but given the National Institutes of Health Position and massive data showing its a du documented risk and immunological risk and looking at the Washington School of medicine and the work of dr. Martin paul Washington School of medicine theres no question of causation here. Sometimes all we can do as citizens is make a statement and all can do as members of the board is do the same but upstairs. If you can stick around i think the board of health is before us on another case and well have a chat with them. Trust us. Well hear from the next speaker. Welcome back. Thank you, i know youre attentive to what you say and we appreciate you inviting us to the department and we provided dr. Argon the information he need and followed up with him every week from that point forward to make sure he had all the experts and help and instruction needed in order to make sure the San Francisco county and city did the right things for its residents. We have a disaster here, folks. Youre all pointing fingers the other way. Its not going work anymore. Now that were damaging and killing people its all fallen on everybodys desk. Its all here at the San Francisco board of appeals joining hands at the San Francisco department of health and public works all headed by mohamed narud being investigated by the fbi for corruption and corruption isnt far from verizon lied and said false information about. Its all established in the Public Record yet you tolerate those lies and dont look at the truth very hard. And you need to look at the truth really hard now. You really are damaging and we really are killing people here and why are we doing this . Oh, our jurisdictions not good enough, i dont know. Its not my problem. Were too busy. Are these the reasons why were not doing what we should do . Let me tell you what i did today, i wrote a letter and went to the radio on monday and i told the world about whats going on in San Francisco dr. George carlo told me how the guideline happened back in the early 90s. Its a scam. Its been a scam from day one. It was to beat the europeans to an auction. Theres no scientific basis at all for the guideline. M this information was given to thomas argon. He has it all. Youre rubber stamping oh, now you dont have to do it. Now the Wireless Industry changed article 25 and doesnt come before you anymore. Those days are over, folks. Its coming right back to you. That article 25s gone away. We have to join hands and say we have a problem and all play a role in it and everybody who hides behind their jurisdictional issues has to say its my problem too. These are my people. You have a precautionary principle. You dont give it due mr. Brad russi. Take a look at it. It was told to you in many appeals. Thank you. Your times up. Thank you. Thank you. Is there any other speaker here for general Public Comment . Okay. I would also like to add one more. Im sorry. Please come forward. Is there anyone else here for Public Comment . We just have one more person . Okay. Can you call maintenance and have them turn on the air. We called them and they were looking into it. Again . Its on or off and right now its on. Welcome back. Hello. Hello board members. I wasnt emotional before but i am now and i apologize. I know cheryl and im also electrically sensitive and unfortunately ive had to sell a building and leave the city because of burning feet and headaches. So what we have before us which i know was delivered very strong to you and im trying to say to you again just the precautionary principle is something that any government person can use to help the situation. Its really getting out of hand. The 5g is so prevalent and i can drive certain parts of the city where im hit so hard my feet start burning and i get headaches and otherwise im okay. So next week ill be up in mendocino red woods enjoying a little bit of a reprieve to come back and spend time with my family. Excuse my emotionality, please. Guys, i understand where youre coming from and appreciate you listen to us and you have a tough job. You have so much stuff to look at but you do the precautionary principle. Really look at it because its principle of law. Its a principle of law you can really hold and do something with. You know, it cannot be preempted. Theres no preemption for the cautionary principle for the sit distance and residents of San Francisco. Seriously, you have to rereally push on really push on the other people youre in contact with and im just asking for to you do so especially on behalf of cheryl hogan. Thank you. And im just asking f do so especially on behalf of cheryl hogan. Thank you. Just asking for to yo especially on behalf of cheryl hogan. Thank you. Asking for to you do especially on behalf of cheryl hogan. Thank you. Thank you, sir. We received an email from ms. Joy bianci. The board denied the appeal and upheld the appeal and denied the removal of two trees and she said the concrete has not been treated and is buckling. Since that was on my watch id like to as president id like to respond to it and think its appropriate. This is not paying attention to the board of appeals night it seems. Not only do we have a department of health, its not paying attention to us, which by the way really pisses me off and gets me angry because were trying to do a job for you and if a department doesnt follow through its upsetting because we dont do this for the big bucks. We do it for the public. So moving back to dph sorry, to boa lets ask for an email and formal response from them regarding this alleged inaction. A time line when supposedly the work has been completed. And what happened and whats the time line. Did they adhere to the order or not. And then if we can put this on an agenda in some fashion. Dont know how we agendize something where we created an order. Its like a court order. Were a quasijudicial body and made an order associated with an appeal. Thats four to find out for you to find out. We can agendize it for the next meeting. Im sure myself and the board would like to hear a response and get their side of the truth and resolve the issue to what the board has already resolved for them in formal hearing and with a formal vote. Thank you. Okay so item 2 is commissioner comments and questions. Were in the public often and have lots of employees. Theres a coronavirus please wash your hands for 20 seconds and wash every time and disinfect if you dont have access to soap and water. If you feel sick, stay home or contact a medical facility. Some are prepared to test and treat and you dont want to go to all of them. Please be aware and hopefully we can all stay well if we co these things. Is there Public Comment on this item . The push we made to dr. Thomas argon was to have a rational preparation for a population that is going to experience covid 19 Community Spread. We know its coming. Its already happening in other communities. So to do that washing hands makes sense and taking care of yourself with diet and rest. These are things people can do. Cities can make choices too. Heres the choice you can all make. Recognize theres 12,000 studies established science telling you small cells at 1,000 and 7,000 watts at radiation covid 19, you have an opportunity right now to take a look at turning them all off in order to not immunosuppress your population and give them the chance to sleep as well as possible to fight this disease as much as possible and what youre doing is weakening your population right before a Community Spread of covid 19 because the department of health isnt looking at the science and the logical choice yeah, would piss off verizon and at t but also save your population. What are we doing here . Are we keeping our Business Partners happy or are we doing more for our people and whats the department of health going do about this great idea. Its all out on the papers and on the radio. Whats going on . The world wants to know if are you or are you not going to turn off your small cells and wed like know and would like to know this week and were watching and social medias big though we just had a super tuesday you have no idea how its trending. Were all watching San Francisco. Are you going turn them off or not . Thank you for bringing up the covid 19 issue which i have aaddressed. Ish wish to note people have different styles. I think thomas argon is a good person in a tough spot. I personally think this board wants to do the best it can. I sympathize and paul drove me over here its hard for me to walk. I dont agree with this condemnative approach and i want us to be loving and kindly and i want to mention that. Thank you. Next speaker please. Hello again. I want to update a little bit of something i recently read in research thats been done. As the rather interesting i dont know how totally valid this is but the circumstances are very interesting. The origination is also the place the heaviest amount of 5g in china and there could be a relationship to the mutation of the virus as a result of the Millimeter Waves going on. But what they did further was they linked it to several other events that have happened once we had wireless turned on. And each time we ended up with what you might call major epidemic like victorian flu and things that cause a lot of problems. There is literature that also tells us once again not only is our immune system in danger but remember the electromagnetic field is involved in everything from the atoms. Electrons to protons have the same force as the planetary relationships and theres the same resonance and vibration of not just the sun, the moon, the earth but of all insects, people, everything. So theres this extreme sensitivity that is really been changed a lot a result of the electromagnetic waves. Thank you. Is there any other Public Comment . Now item 3 before we move on the adoption of the february 25 board meeting. Cain can i get a motion . Motion to approve. We have a motion from commissioner swig to adopt the minutes from february 5. Is there Public Comment on that item . Seeing none, on that motion well take a roll. [roll call] now moving on to item 4 a rehearing request. [reading item] did you have an opportunity to review the materials . I did and i arched watched the video. Thank you. I have as well. So well hear from the requester first. Thank you, mr. Patterson. Im on behalf of the appellant. As you may recall this was an appeal and as we got in the appeal hearing there was a shocking revelation that my clients driveway may not in fact belong to my client. And theres two rectangles
