Thank you, Bennett. The Housing Authority of the City and County of San Francisco acknowledges that we are on the unceded ancestral homeland of the Ramatushaloni, who are the original inhabitants of San Francisco Peninsula. As the indigenous stewards of this land, and in accordance with their traditions, the Ramatushaloni have never ceded, lost, nor forgotten their responsibilities as the caretakers of this place, as well as for all people who reside in their traditional territory. As guests, we recognize that we benefit from living and working on their traditional homeland.

And you'll have two minutes for your public comments with a beep at 30 seconds and a beep when your time has been allotted.

MARTHA HOLLINS, Good afternoon, everyone. Good afternoon. As you know, my name is Martha Hollins. I am the tenants association president of Plaza East. And I'm here today to talk about, for a few minutes, on the conditions and the things that are going on in our community. I don't normally come down here all the time, but I felt compelled to come down here today because of concerns that we have in our community. It seems like we have been ejected out of all of the talks about our community, the things that are happening in our community, the way our community is being run now. And it is not relevant for the residents of the community. We don't hear anything. No one tells us anything. We don't know how our development is going. We don't know who comes into the community for working. We have had meetings with the housing authority over and over again. And they have not really come to our meetings. When they did come to our meetings, they haven't came with any solutions, in other words, for Plaza East and the residents of Plaza East to know. We are tired, very, very tired of the way things are going on in that community. And we need answers. And we need to be in those meetings, the meetings that we had. I want to have different meetings, meetings that we can move forward in our community. But we haven't had that in our community. And we need that in our community. If you don't know anything, how can you do anything? How can you tell your residents anything? OK, so we need to be in those meetings with Bell is our new management company. Jon Stewart is gone. And when things like that happen, we don't get the things that we need. We don't know what we're going to do. What is our resident going to do? We are supposed to be in a redevelopment stage. And we don't know what's happening with this redevelopment stage because no one is telling us what's going on. There have been changes to the housing authority and changes to the communities. And the housing authorities are the ones that are supposed to be taking care of these communities.

Thank you, Arthur.

Thank you so much.

Well, good evening or morning, commissioners. Wow, what a new, it's a new era. But we have no time for errors, misguided leadership, failed efforts. And the most egregious thing is undermining our community. So let me just reflect on what the lady just said about Plaza East. So let me just say, we got six sites in the Western Edition, which I am the Fillmore Corridor Ambassador. Officially, I am the Fillmore Corridor Ambassador. I'm not the mayor. I'm not the supervisor. But damn it, I am the Fillmore Corridor Ambassador. And so I got six sites, public housing, rad developments in the Western Edition. And I'll speak on it later. But the Plaza East is a problem, big problems. And I don't have time to talk about that. But there's big problems when all of the developments And now that we have a new shoemaker, welcome aboard. But I got a new pair of shoes to tell you about, Mr. Shoemaker. Not right now. The time is not right now. But my name is Ace, dammit, and I'm on the case. I'm here representing the whole Western Edition. And that includes the six housing developments that are in my community. I'm also here to announce that D5 supervisor and the mayor collaborating with the Fillmore Corridor Ambassador will be coming to the Western Edition sometime this month. I'm not sure. Because of the Jewish holiday, the mayor has undecided what date and what place it's going to be. But we're going to have a big community meeting and talk about a lot of different things. My name is . And I'm on the case.

Thank you, Mr. Washington.

Hi, good morning. I'm Margaret McNulty, speaking to you as the president of 1760 Bush Street Tenant Association. During the construction in 2016, John Stewart repeatedly promised us that the doors would not lock the tenants out. that the default would be an unlock because they were getting rid of that guy that used to come over and had every key to every building. And so we were responsible for our own lockouts. But they put the doors in. Only one floor got those in our building. So I'm ordering lock boxes for people because they keep getting locked out. And I think Jon Stewart should pay for them. It's only $600 for the whole building. So they're saying no I'm gonna get them anyway, but I just thought I Would let you know That they didn't keep their promise in construction. Thank you.

Thank you Any additional general public comment in the room

Hello, hello. My name's Isaac. I work with the Housing Rights Committee of San Francisco. Yeah, I'm here today to actually meet with Daniel. I know he's going to be coming in as a new CEO for the Housing Authority. And I just wanted him to know that hopefully you're able to work with the residents of Plaza East. As you know, your predecessor wasn't particularly fond in that matter. So I'm just hoping that going forward, they're able to create those connections where we could do something at Plaza East and make everything go as smoothly as possible in terms of the redevelopment, employment in Section 3, and just to get everybody on board so Plaza East could be a habitable living situation for everybody there. Thank you.

Good morning. Through the chair, I'm Archbishop Greg Richardson, former North Beach public housing president rebuilding that development, I think it's 20 years ago, also with We Are One. We Are One is a group of individuals that work together to stop hate from any type of violence throughout the city. We'll be bringing more information. We look forward to working with Shoemaker and your commission to bring together people as one. My experience is also I'm former financial secretary for in-home support services. which everyone is familiar with, I'm sure, taking care of seniors. My district was San Francisco and some of those cities. So I hear a lot of things good coming down the pipe, already in the pipe. So I'm here to help move business along. That is the only way we're going to get things done. My concern is with the federal administration's budget cuts. And we don't have a lot of time. Because if we don't get things done, it could cost every one of us. Of course, every one of these units are subsidized and could be in jeopardy. We don't know what's going to happen. But I think that working together, less complaints, going to Washington would benefit everybody in San Francisco and the residents in these programs of housing.

Thank you.

Thank you.

There's no additional public comment in the room. We can move to online. Dennis Williams, if you'd like to unmute yourself. You'll have two minutes.

Good morning. Can you hear me?

Yes.

Good morning, everyone. Mr. Dennis Williams, D5 resident, executive director of Fillmore CDC, and also Plaza East resident. Although I'm glad for the change at SF Housing Authority, which has been part of the destruction of the black community of San Francisco. I hope that new change is coming along with the new appointee. Plaza East is in the middle of a second capital improvement, and it had to come, as law says, before our development, which The past executive director was forcefully pushing through. We still haven't had any invoices. And just like our tenant president, Martha Hollins, just stated, they're not being told anything or the residents are not being allowed to have a say. And we hope that our $541 million budget, although we know federal changes have started. We hope that our development of Plaza East redevelopment is still underway and that we will have a larger say. We went to Washington DC last year with the House and Rights Committee and partner and talked to Richard Minocchio who visited Plaza East and helped us remove McCormick and Baron Salazar as we're noticing in the city. is a pattern from related California, McCormick and Baron Salazar, Jon Stewart management, to continue to harm the community through economic failure, workforce development failure, and we want change, right? So as a micro developer also, there needs to be implementing of joint venture opportunities for our developers on name as some of the big hope sites that your agency is currently development. Again, we find related California, in conjunction with Mercy Housing, over the development phase at Sunnydale. And there's not one local developer, minority or black developer, on those projects. Same thing we find at Patrell Hill. We want change. We want opportunity. And a solution could be creating a binding MBE local developer joint venture goals in your development agreements, as we had told you. the past executive director. And also for Sunnydale specifically, you need to require the master developer, which is DOJ and city rules, allows to issue sub-RFQs for local developers to co-lead roles, our general contractors and our contractors management packages aimed at specifically Black-owned firms. The ball continues to be in drop in our communities and we're sick of it. We demand parts of these billions of dollars that continue to leave our communities at an astounding rate to out-of-state and out-of-San Francisco developers and general contractors. Thank you.

Thank you for your input.

Also online, Tired Pond. You just have to unmute yourself.

How y'all doing? Yes, we can hear you. Can you hear me? Yes. Hi, my name is Tyree Pond. I'm here via Zoom on behalf of the Hunters Point, I mean the Bayview Hunters Point Coordinating Council. I'm the Director of Social Media and Marketing. I just wanted to just pretty much reiterate with the other district leaders have brought to the forefront with the problems going on in the community. I'm speaking for the districts of San Francisco, from the Bayview to the Fillmore to Sunnydale. On behalf of all of them, the uninhabitable living situations, the lack of accountability, the promises that have been made, the actions that have been taken by Mayor Lowry, but they've been more of like, honestly, I feel like a propaganda. a propaganda type of thing. Like you come, you show your face, show that you care, but in all actuality, there's no clear steps or plans of action that's being taken. And the actions that are being taken, they're very inclusive, you feel me, in terms of leaving out the community and the building of the community and the things that are going on in the community as well. So as more things develop, we'll definitely be covering these things, and our presence is definitely being pushed because we no longer, as a people, are going to sit around and let ourselves be deceived. So we just want some clear actions and steps that can be taken, that are going to be taken by y'all. So thank you.

Thank you. Any additional general public comment? Then we can close with a comment. Item five is regular business action items. We have two action items, starting off with item 5A. That is the resolution appointing Daniel Adams as the acting executive director of the Housing Authority of the City and County of San Francisco. And we have the authority's CFO, Mamadou Nieng.

Thank you, Brad. Good morning. Good morning.

Good morning.

So the housing authority of the city and county of San Francisco and the city and county of San Francisco entered into a MOU back dated on January 18, 2020. Under the MOU, the city agreed that it will provide certain staff to the authority to provide executive management. Go ahead. Can you hear me clear? Yeah. This is final. So the authority is currently undergoing a leadership transition due to the departure of the former CEO, Tania Le Dujou. The authority staff recommend that the board adopt a resolution appointing Dan Adams as Acting Executive Director of the Housing Authority of the City and County of San Francisco, effective September 12, 2025, to serve in this capacity until a permanent executive director is appointed or until further action by the board. Just to clarify, in accordance with the authority bylaws, when there is a vacancy, it is the board that has the authority to appoint the executive director. In addition, the MOU between the city and county of San Francisco and the housing authority of the city and county of San Francisco provide that the appointment of the executive director should be confirmed by the board.

Any commissioner's comments?

So next step would be to do a vote, right?

If there's no commissioner's comment, we can open for public comment on item 5A. Is there any public comment?

Before, can we have Dan and I'm going to share a bit?

Thank you so much, Mamadou. Commissioners, great to be here with you this morning. I'm delighted to be here representing myself as a candidate for acting director in this role. A little bit of history. Back in 2019, I was the acting director and deputy director of the Mayor's Office of Housing and Community Development, when we stepped in to help stave off receivership by HUD when the housing authority came into financial difficulties. And so it was during that time that we negotiated an MOU between the housing authority and the city, whereby the city assumed responsibility for the functions of the housing authority, really with the intention of, creating a one city approach. We're one city. We wanted to act and operate together and collaborate and coordinate across our programs. And we successfully mitigated the financial challenges. The city came in with a loan that helped bolster the Housing Authority's finances. The HUD approved that MOU. And under Dr. Ledijew's leadership over the last years, the housing authority is in much better financial condition than it was five or six years ago. But the work of integration still needs to happen. And under Mayor Lurie, as of a few months ago, he directed me to lead an effort to plan for how do we really integrate our functions, always with the intention of improving constantly our services to our residents and our partnership with our community providers. So I'm very eager to continue in that work in collaboration with you all in this new role as acting director. Happy to answer any questions that you may have. And with that, we can pass it over. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Adams. We can open for public comment.

We only have two minutes, but I think I have two minutes on another subject. So welcome, Mr. Adams. From hearing your history, I said, damn, I know this guy from a long time ago. Let me get a brief history of my history with Housing Authority. I go back eight mayors, administration, all the way to Art Agnews. That was my first encounter with public housing. I remember going up to public housing. He coming down, and somebody said, Ace Warshley. He said, oh, you're the son of a bitch that been talking about what's going on in public housing. So that's when I met, what's his name? Not the supervisor, but the director at the time was not under Ed Lee. What was his name? David Gilmour. I met David Gilmour. And so from there, from the RAD to where we are right now. So I got the history, and it's no mystery. I was there when the CAO, she came and put together the RAD program. So I'm not going to, you know, I hate when I only got a couple of minutes, so I can't, my thoughts. But I'm still reiterating there is a new beginning, a new era. We don't have no time for errors. So yours, Ace Washington, is going to be monitoring the public housing, particularly with this RAD situation, because we're in a dysfunctional situation in the Western Edition.

Thank you, Ace. Oh, no, I still got 40 seconds. Hold up. I still got 40 seconds.

Even if I get up here and just look and show my gear around, I still got 40 seconds. The bottom line is we're going to change this situation. And we're going to try to work, Mr. Adams and the new director here, and try to put housing authority back on the map right now. Because this, I mean, you look around, the... directors, and it just looks kind of leery right now. Oh, that's the mayor's name. But it looks kind of messed up. So anyway, I'll be back in a minute.

Public comments for item 5A.

Good afternoon. My name is Evangela Brewster. I have a few questions for the new director. One, What is it that you're going to do in the next 30 to 60 days, action-wise, when it comes to helping the tenants make sure all of the things that they've been dealing with, that they have not been able to let the other Let other people know, but they have not done anything about it. Let's be clear. Hunnis Point, all of Hunnis Point, Sunnydale, Dubrock, also, Fillmore, the Western Edition, all of these places have been forgotten about, but everybody is still getting a check. Trying to figure out how that happens. Also... What are you going to do about the contractors and the people who are in trades who have the skills to help make sure that our communities are not broken and messed up? Because let's be clear, they are not getting jobs. They are not receiving contracts. We're talking about developers who live in these places who want to help the people. But yet, we're still going out and getting people who are not born and raised in Western Edition and Bayview-Hunters Point. And I am talking about even if you do have an address that says it, let's do some background work and make sure you've been there for the last 5, 10, 15 years and you actually have ties to this community. Because let me be clear, there is a reason why the other young lady is not here and you're the director. Understand that the community is going to come and stand up for their rights. These are human rights. People are literally dying because they're sick. Because guess what? Somebody who was supposed to do something did not help them. Thank you.

Thank you.

Good afternoon. I was going to say good morning. Good afternoon. I want to welcome Dan Adams. I have probably the... best one in the room to speak on Dan Adams, because when I first started working in housing in 2005, sorry, Dan, I'm dating this. My first project was with Dan Adams. So one thing that I appreciated about him is, and can appreciate, I haven't worked with him since, but that he uses his resources. So he picks out who he knows can do the job. And then no micromanaging, because he trusts this person to do the job. And he listens to the, in this case, it was first time homebuyers going through the experience for the first time. And so together, he and I came up with a way to get people through the process where they understood it. And that was the first time that, along with Dan, he and I put together a cohort. Because I was new to housing. I didn't have a clue. So it was Dan Adams, myself, and the loan officers, and we figured out how to do it. And so... I believe, and then also he has experience as a project manager. So from working with those developers and working on the development, I trust and hope you guys will see this get the same results that I did. Thank you. Thank you.

through the chair, Archbishop Richardson. I'd like to speak to item five and say thank the city for moving expediently so that business can continue as usual and get better. It is a good thing, Mr. Adams, that you're in place. But I can just tell you one thing about being in the chair's position. And Moscone had appointed Jim Jones is president of the San Francisco Housing Authorities Commission.

Excuse me. These are concerns regarding Dan? Yeah.

Yeah. I'm talking.

Let's keep it on track with Dan. We don't need the history of it.

All right. All right. That's fine. But I look forward to working with Dan because what Mayor Ed Lee did when we created the first Public Housing Merchants Association We work right along with the director of housing under Section 3. And I look forward to working with that particular component with Dan. Our first contract working with the purchasing department through the housing authority director, Shirley Thornton, was a 49er contract, slug contract. So we've done Section 3 programs. So what I'm saying is this. I've been around. I've seen what the city can do. I've seen what the residents can do. And I'm looking forward to working with Mr. Adams as a director with my experience From these Section 3 programs, as well as residential programs, one-stop shops started at North Beach Public Housing, spread to the other developments. So we know exactly what we're doing. Mr. Adams, congratulations. Look forward to working with you.

Thank you, sir.

I would like to say welcome and good luck in your new position. And if you could just make sure they stay courteous at the front desk. We've gotten a lot of complaints for that. But I know you're going to do a great job. You've got big shoes to fill, though. Good luck. Thank you, Martha. Hi, Martha. Hi. Martha? No, she's fine.

OK, here I am again. Mr. Adams, I don't know you, but I'm hoping that you and I and everyone at Plaza East and everyone that's all of the things that's going on at Plaza East, that we can work together. and that we can get things moving. We have been in talk with McCormick and Barron for years and years about the decline of the property over there. And we've been fighting for a long time to get the improvements for the units and the people who live in them. We cannot go on another year or two with mold and all kinds of conditions over there at Plaza East. Plaza East is a thriving place. We have our people just want to get things done. And moving forward with the community, everybody has been developed in this city except Plaza East. Plaza East is the last one on the totem pole. And we want to get Plaza East stable and up to par. We want to. That's very necessary for us to do before it just falls down by itself, OK? And that's what we're looking for now. We don't want it to fall down by itself. We want it to be where people who drive by can see what a beautiful community that it can be. It can. And I know that everybody here knows that Plaza East could be. You drove by it before, all of you. You know what the outsides look like. You know what it's all about over there. And you know what needs to be done over there. I think we're going to be having our buildings repainted or whatever the case may be. I hope this is true. What they tell us, the little bit that they do tell us, I hope it be true. We have one more point I wanted to make. We have a LOA. that we have submitted to the Housing Authority. And we've been submitting this LOA for, I don't know, about a year now. And these are the conditions of the people that we want to move this community forward. And it has the things in it that will let Plaza East upgrade Plaza East be susceptible to the community and the residents therein. So I hope, Mr. Adams, I hope that we can get all of this stuff cleared up for Plaza East. Thank you.

Thank you.

Good afternoon, everyone. I've been here before. My name is Janet Smith. I'm the president of LaSalle Resident Association in Bayview, Hunters Point, under management of Related Management. I'm quite sure you guys Know what's going on up there?

Let me stop you for a second, because the item that we were discussing are comments for the new acting executive director. Well, I just came in, so I didn't know. Are your questions related to that? Otherwise, it should have been done at the public speaking part of the program. Well, I apologize.

I just came in, so I'm not allowed to speak.

Incorrect. This is about housing? Yes. Say what you need to say.

Excuse me, let me explain it to you.

I'm very aware.

Okay.

Sir, I'm very aware.

And the questions?

Is it about housing?

No, no, no, no. It's any questions that you may have for him.

Yes, she's going to make the statement and ask him questions. Please let her do so. Can somebody make sure she has her two minutes? Because he did interrupt her. Thank you. We'll wait for you to put it back on there for the two minutes. As I said, my name is Evangela Brewster.

Nice to meet you, Ms. Brewster.

Please make it understood that I'm going to stand with my community. We are tired of people taking advantage of us. OK. Calm down. Commissioner Lindos. I'm not hyped yet, baby. Put the two minutes on there, please.

Commissioner Rendles, let me respond to the scope of the public comments. We did have a general public comment. So I think at this point, if the comment is related to the appointment of Dan Adams and also his responsibilities and the questions, that is within the scope of the

As an authority, thank you.

Excuse me. Can you let me finish? OK. So it has to be related to the topic, the agenda item. So I think to respond to the scope of your comments, it has to be related to the appointment of the proposed acting executive director. And it can include the scope of his or her responsibilities in connection with that.

So is that clear?

That's fair.

OK. Thank you. Thank you. It's regarding our housing up there in Bayview, Hunters Point under the management, a related management. We're living with mold, asbestos. The pipes are so corroded that everybody's apartments keep over flooding. And in the renovation they're doing up there, they're not painting the apartments. They're using primer, moving residents back in without windows. This has all have to do with housing, but I think still someone needs to be up there. I may have missed the public comment part, but I was somewhere else supporting also, so I just made it in here. But I still think it's very important that you guys are aware of what's going on up there under the management of Related. So it's very serious, and we need help up there on Bayview Hunters Fund up there in the hill. All the communities, I'm not just in Bayview, but I'm here representing Bayview. But as everyone else was speaking, every community needs to be treated with respect as if we're human beings, not as if we're not, as if we're animals and don't care how we've been treated in our housing. Our housing is very important to us. We have a right to live in a healthy and safe environment. Not with the bestos, not with mold, and not with being disrespected by management and people just treating us like we don't exist. Garbage everywhere. Not picking up the trash. It is so hurtful. And Mr. Leroy, It just really seemed like you don't care. It really seemed like you just don't care from your expression. And I can read it. But you know, just put yourselves in others' positions. Maybe then you would care. Thank you for your time. Thank you. Have a good day.

You're welcome. You too.

Hi, my name is Kelvin. I'm from Plaza East. I'm part of the DAC and the student council. And I'm a follow with HRC. What I would like to say is that there has not been any transparency for Plaza East. We've been in limbo for a long time.

Excuse me, that item is the next item. And so you will have an opportunity to speak. That's the next item? Yes, it is. Yes.

Oh, OK.

It's the next item, and you will have an opportunity to speak on Plaza East. If your comment is related to Plaza East.

No, I was just doing an introduction.

OK.

So let's see. I'm sorry. Like I said, there hasn't been any transparency. And hopefully, with the next meeting for us, there will be better information. Thank you.

Thank you.

Any other comments about item 5A in the room?

Hi there. Mr. Adams, it's great to see you again. I know we saw you out during the community visits, so really good to see you. What I would love to say, and I think what Kelvin didn't get a chance to say, is that the residents have not been centered in solutions. So what we're inviting you to do as tenant advocates is to really center the residents in the solutions. They are the experts in their community. They have lived there multi-generation wise. And hopefully this is a turning point for the housing authority to really center the residents because the solutions are in the community. But you have to listen to them. You have to bring them to the table as equal stakeholders. They're not a sub-thought. They're not a subsequent thought. When you think about convening meetings, residents should be the first people on your list. Now, I will speak to what Ms. Martha was saying and what Kelvin was saying. The last housing authority meeting that they had at Plaza East was a disaster. They were not centered. They were not heard. Nothing on their agenda was addressed. Questions that were presented before that were not addressed. And I wasn't going to say that here today. But I want you to know that what the residents are bringing is not frivolous. This was a meeting that happened July 15th. And I'm happy to engage you with that. I know Ms. Martha has already brought it up to you. But I really, we're looking forward to that because I think it's a breath of fresh air. Change is good. But what I would love to say to you and hopefully this new direction that the Housing Authority is going through, as well as the city under the housing, that let's center the residents. You've heard from them here today. Ms. Janice, Kelvin, Ms. Martha. Center them. Let's lean in with humility and leaning into them because they are the experts in their community. Looking forward to it. And I believe we have a meeting on Wednesday, so looking forward to that.

Thank you.

I'm sorry. I just want to add to what happened and make a comment on what just happened. What we don't want is people to be afraid to come up here and voice their opinion. Now, some people aren't aware of Robert's Rules of Order, right? So it wasn't intentional. They were coming up here trying to share their experiences that they're living. So please. Please, please, please. I'm sorry. I'm so passionate about this. People have to be able to share their experience and share it with you guys, especially if you're not living what they're living.

We have public comment online. Dennis Williams, would you like to unmute yourself?

good afternoon can you hear me yes thank you this is mr dennis williams resident of plaza ease board of supervisor awarded leader um um just wanted to say come thank you and welcome mr dan adams and um we hope that um you're here for a a long time and that we can start off fresh with the Housing Authority, because a lot of people in this room, they're so passionate, is because they've had, they've been at many meetings and they're here today lending their time and efforts. Like community leaders, Ms. Janice Smith that I just heard spoke, the other community leader, I can't call her name, as well as our advocacy agencies like Housing Rights Committee. And we even have a tenant president in chambers. So what that shows is that the community is organized painstakingly. A lot of work has been done to get to this point. San Francisco Housing Authority and the HUD is now national news because of what you are hearing and what you're seeing. It's just people are ready for change as you guys are changing your positions there. So my question, as Mr. Adams asked us, was that would he be willing to meet with local developers, namely Black developers, since a lot of projects from his agency is in the historical Black communities of San Francisco, and our general contractors, Namely, immediately, because the Petrel Hill phases and Sunnydale phases are being pushed through as our advocation is going. And then secondly, I want to know what is Mr. Adams planning to do about the vacancies in D5 and D10 that the black community has been painstakingly asking housing authority to be placed into their childhood homes, their homes that their grandparents and mothers who have passed away and shady management companies that may not even be in existence anymore disallowed that as we experience here at Plaza East. We just want to know what are you guys going to do about filling our communities back up with our people and changing the guard that's been going on by the past administration at Housing Authority to fill them with what we say in the community, it looks like illegal immigrants. And before it gets to the president level and the governor's level, we want to just make changes in our community as Ms. Jokey stated, because we are organized, we're strong, we're powerful, and we have solutions to the problems that we see. And we hope that you will be open ear for change. Thank you.

Mr. Pond, you're unmuted.

Hello, can you hear me? Yes. Hi, I'd like to just, I'm Tyree Pond speaking again on the behalf of the Bayview 100 Point Coordinating Council as Director of Social Media and Marketing. I'd like to say welcome, Daniel Adams, to your role as the Housing Director. or acting housing director, I just hope that in your role that you really take the time out to hear these communities out. That you take the time out to really tap into this community because honestly, I can hear it just from over this over this Zoom call, I can hear the lack of real concern from some of the people in that room. You know what I'm saying? And I know there's an agenda and everything has to be on schedule and all that stuff, but these people have put their... Some of these people have really dedicated their lives to seeking change in these communities, and nothing has been done. And the little that has been done has actually hindered the community while others profit from it on the back end. So I hope that you come with a different approach because, like we said, we're not going for no developments or nothing like that. We're not gonna go for it because we have a right as the people to the places that we live to be treated fairly, to be employed properly, to be funded correctly. Those are rights, right? And we're educating ourselves. So... Daniel Adams, welcome to the community, but I hope that you're for the community and not for the dollar back in for San Francisco benefit, period. Thank you.

I do not see any additional hands raised or indication for public comment on item 5A. We can open for a motion for approval on this item.

I'd like to move approval of the item.

Is there a second? Roll call vote. Commissioner Pikes? Aye. Commissioner Kim? Aye. Commissioner Shoemaker? Aye. Vice President Lindo? Abstain. So moved.

Yeah, so unfortunately, I'd like to make a motion to table or what is the word? Continue the item. Thank you. The next item, I apologize for those of you that came for that item. I had a very limited availability today. And this was an item that was added to the schedule. And I knew that it might be possible that I could stay for it. But unfortunately, this first item went so long that I can't stay any longer. So I motion to continue item 5.

And our next scheduled commission meeting will be September 25 at 4 PM in this room.

So I motion to continue the item to September 25.

Just unanimous consent?

Yeah, I think the procedure is that if there's consensus among the commissioners, then that could happen. You don't need a motion. You just need consensus among the commissioners.

Great. Then just item six for any additional comment from commissioners. Appointment?

No, this is the withdrawal of MBS.

OK, well.

I'M SORRY, DO I HAVE THE WRONG ITEM? YOU'RE TALKING 5B. 5B, I APOLOGIZE. AND WE HAD APPROVAL ON 5A. CORRECT, OKAY.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. IF THERE'S NO ADDITIONAL COMMISSIONER'S COMMENT, THEN VICE PRESIDENT LINDAU, IT'S ITEM 7 FOR ADJOURNMENT.

MOVE TO ADJOURN.

OKAY, THAT TIME IS 12.23.
