Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good evening, supervisors get my name is on the chairman of the local association am proud to stand with local poke merchants and boat District Merchant Association to support stronger form of the retail controls on polk street. Sometimes it takes a series of dramatic events to bring the Community Together to ask for change. In our case, the last year and a half weve been about a with bigbox retailers like target and whole foods were trying to swap away one of only half a dozen subsites and district 3 to build muchneeded housing in the greatest housing crisis in modern memory. The lombardi site will build really 62 units of housing evictions are at alltime high in our neighborhood. Alice, people want to move to our neighborhood. Thats a good thing. We have to build housing first. We also want to protect our local businesses could we need to stand firm and say that district 3 the historic district, the polk street is a storage area and needs to be protected. When bigbox chains try to stop reasonable common sense Housing Development that all you can support, the Community Needs to take a stand. We have done that and were appreciative of supervisor peskin inducing legislation to protect local independent business. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Hello. Ive only gone through the process of contacting the occ and San Francisco Police Commission and the supervisor of the Bayview District could however, the email didnt go through a couple times i tempted to put it through. I contacted three of the different assistance to that supervisor and insisted i put him into an email. However i prefer to speak to people facetoface. Its part of my college. So i feel like the internet is leaving people behind. Basically, where the incidence was i was mugged by the police freight traffic incident. I pulled over and was willing to take a ticket. However they put their hands on me baby sweet violated me. Its been over a year and still waiting for a response. My final resort is to come here. I came your couple other times now and the second time was people of ethnic city within the bayview neighborhood attempted to mug me and so i called the police took them 20 min. Or so. I was thankful they can. However, they didnt seem they seem disinterested in what they gave me some kind of a claim tidbit they didnt write any number and asked if i want to press charges. I said i dont know what that means. So, i got an appointment with capt. Solomon of the Bayview Department and he said he would get back to me and never did. Since then he was promoted to command. I was able to track him down there did not directly. I left a met melts. He did not get back to me so time goes by. I tried not being irate person and tried to be within the system but time goes by and you get lost in this and i like to be a bk person not a homosexual. Im from here. But i dont know. The older i get the less i tend to believe next speaker, please. Tom mcgillis but im scared it was a 101 vote. Community involvement was being questioned. Supervisor lee was, questioning it. I was behind him. As never ever an excuse to reduce community involvement. Community involvement always says im the it puppet that vote was changed to 110 good i hope theres no change to community involvement. Three involvement as always highly a ball because they react to a plan that developers have designed, have lawyers, have profits estimates and they want to get going on it. Last week mr. Marriott was maybe thatll be the moment when this Community Starts coming together as a whole. Super bowl v million should never been to the nfl should pay their host cities five in the dollars to host the event. San francisco, in this time in my lifetime has been given a number of different gifts. Two of which are happening right this week. The chinese involvement in our society is a portal. San francisco is a portal for which we become grateful for the diversity it also valentines day. Beef and has a nice little tradition. Keep a Little Candle in your hearts. Maybe let it grow. Remember to smile. Yet our society now is what we are going through, heres a book. Can we see it on the screen . The sixth extinction. We need a change of values. New directions. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good evening supervisors. As of 6 pm. Im Peter Warfield executive director of Library Users association. My subject today is San Francisco Public Libraries knew the proposed set of fees and in particular when theyre not discussing publicly. That is San Francisco Public Libraries city luisherrera has proposed a revision to the library fees and includes a brandnew fee for lost or damaged to a laptop computer. The amount is 1000. For those who may not be paying attention, 1000. The newly proposed fees also include 500 for a lost or damaged tablet and finally, vicki dollars for lost or damaged to unspecified peripherals and accessories. We wonder whether that means such things as a five dollar word 10 dollar thumb dr. . A Users Association has a considerable excess at the last Lottery Commission last thursday. That is, we told a Library Commission that evidently did not know the amount of that new fee, those new fees, but we told him what that was. So, for the first time in living memory, there was a motion and those second. So, that set a fees for the moment has not passed. For the moment, but not be on its way to you but we expected to be coming. We ask you to pay close attention and also, as we said last time two weeks ago, fees consider a no fine system. Next speaker, please. The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet. Moses like moses. The prophet isaiah had said that the prophet would be led as a lamb to the slaughter. As a sheep beforeso he opened not his mouth. The prophet david had said that the prophet like moses would have his feet and hands pierced and that they would part his gun and cast lots for his best good prophet daniel had said the prophet like moses would be killed in the 47th year from the command to restore and rebuild jerusalem. We dont even know is can ago in 487 seconds. We could all be dead. He echoed what gabriel said. Going forth of the commandments under the messiah, the prince shall be seven weeks. That was his baptism. He was anointed. Which transmit to the sabbath year and into the spring of 29. Then he further stated he missed up 77 which had to be the fourth year of the 47 messiah will be cut off but not from himself. Would cause the sacrifice. Every single lamb they killed in the morning and in the evening represented the lamb of god was to take away the sin of the world. Jesus said the biggest sin is not to believe in me. Think about that. What an audacious statement will be for anybody except him to make. I was stopped my sermon a couple weeks ago thank you.
