the navy ceased operations formally here in about 1997. we are standing, remarkably, on awpa project -- on a wpa project were folks started taking land and rocks and putting this project out here. then, it was supposed to be converted. you can only imagine, as an airport. luckily, there was some wisdom, and that vision did not take shape, but for over half a century, the navy has been out here doing administrative work and training work, and we have been figuring out what exactly to do in the last decade and a half. we could not do it alone. we needed to work with the navy. we needed the process of an agreement. we needed a private partner, and we worked to gain that support, but it was not easy because this is a different era, appropriately, where you cannot just take a dollar bill out of your left pocket and handed to the secretary of the navy and say, open a " thank you for the property" and walk away and start to develop it. we needed to create a different framework with a participation agreement. what we're celebrating here is a long

[applause] today we stand on the brink of the future of this island by commemorating the historic agreement with the transfer of the formal the -- naval station from a united states navy to the city and county of san francisco. i know i speak for many people who have worked extremely hard to make this day a reality, people on all sides of the table, across organizations, when i say that it is truly an honor and a proud moment. i would like to take a moment to acknowledge our many partners and supporters who are here today. please forgive me if i do not mention everyone. there are too many of you to name individually, but i would like to recognize, and if you would please stand, former mayor willie brown, current and past members of the treasure island development authority board of directors. our treasure island citizens advisory board, and the treasure island homeless development initiative, one

we needed to work with the navy. we needed the process of an agreement. we needed a private partner, and we worked to gain that support, but it was not easy because this is a different era, appropriately, where you cannot just take a dollar bill out of your left pocket and handed to the secretary of the navy and say, open a " thank you for the property" and walk away and start to develop it. we needed to create a different framework with a participation agreement. what we're celebrating here is a long negotiation where we developed a strong partnership with the navy and the private developers, where if we do well in the city, if the developer does well, then the navy does well. our federal taxpayers do well. we have a participation agreement that in many ways we think will become a model for other similar agreements across the country. it was not easy to put together, but we are here today to celebrate that agreement. we are here today to celebrate a two-page term sheet that the secretary, myself, the speaker, and others agreed to in december of last year

the navy had a. charge of delivering the terrible messages and he said to my mom look three me that was my mother's nickname i come to give you the message that you have to move from this area because the navy has bought it and my mother who never went to school was not a professor who understood that she was born in this area and was raised there because she said to him look this is mine this is my house i have lived here all my life she did not believe him because she thought it was unheard of. and we stayed the next day the bulldozers arrived to knock down the house. on the muscle and my mother only had time to run into the house inscribed a bed sheet book and i don't know because we were not rich we were poor and humble people but it was our. pick up some john is it some pots tied to bed sheets by the four corners and run to the street to watch the machine knocking down the house and police and first i thought it was a big toy four years old totally innocent but my mother when i looked at her fac

treasure island's routes have remained firmly planted through our nation's navy. now, those routes will go deeper, providing a foundation for growth, prosperity, and opportunity for our economy. today, i'm very honored to be joining mayor gavin newsom. again, without his leadership, this would not have been possible. he was relentless, as he always is. using all the new technologies to make sure that we were never off the radar, grid, or any other screen in terms of moving this along. again, as i said, the foundation that was led by previous scenarios. now, these roots go deeper, and it is a sign of signing this endorsement agreement today, we ensure that this site will remain a source of jobs for our community for decades to come. all of you who played a role in this should take great satisfaction that part of your legacy of public service went to something that the mayor calls a big deal, a very big deal for our community, for our country. in closing, i just want to salute the navy for keeping treasure island safe for us so that we could come to this day of tran

i'm good to make the navy base and there's. we did heavy metals testing on everybody in our family doug read the little babies all three generations every single person that was tested in this family for heavy metals is contaminated at toxic levels. i've been through neutering cancer extraction of my reproductive organs radiation treatments etc. i mean you never know is it going to come back is it going to spread is it going to do this out of the other you have to take it day by day we're trying doing and i feel great. and if it comes back i feel that. i've got a hell of a lot more knowledge right now as to how to keep myself feeling good. what i must deal with right now is a health situation in this community where the rate of cancer is twenty seven percent higher than the rest of puerto rico and growing. if you do get cancer you have fifty percent more probability of dying here than in for it but equal. kids between the ages of eleven and nineteen have more than a fifty percent chance contracting cancer and their peers in pue

navy and its struggle to return to paradise. navy called it green. this is the furthest western. in relation to. the act is continuous very. southern. coast based. on the claims of nature. this is the eastern end of the island. all the bombs. drop. the navy used to. these one thousand acres. and the. fish and wildlife. and from here on this is the. sector. this is. the area and from there. when the winds blow in this direction. any contamination that is produced bombs. depleted uranium so on and so forth that are used in the target area they carry a. population area. for the last sixty years we have been breathing. and the reason why we have. percent higher cancer rate. but look at these beautiful. miles on and off. white thing. not a beer cans. an example for the rest of the country to relieve you. is worth every little bit of struggle. getting back to. the old. days. is not convenient for a small community in one thousand be believed on the name the legend he now is set in presley. and then all the communities like ok now australia and then people that go on the edge of the age

the navy has not contributed. really no. navy never had more than. four weaponry you know try french. british. they were advertising they used by any allies already qualified certified inventor try anything you're. doing is advertise. for any. fleet of. worldwide inventory of. conventional weapons. figures has no traffic jam. there are no plastic factories on the. stuff and so the old. there's nothing between us from the coast of africa. three thousand miles of open ocean and one bombing range. meanwhile where are. all these heavy metal oracles which are identified as explosive residue. i played soldiers there. i had no idea of heavy metals and p.c.b. . the continue to fight sort of napalm and so forth. we're talking about a silent invisible killers in the air that i get angry i get angry and they poisoned me. poison my wife for them my children pores and my grandchildren my neighbors and so forth. rebbe. my name is made a leader not a guy. i've been living in vehicles for thirty seven years. i moved here with my husband charlie to drop out and becau

the navy wants to build a ship." and they said, "no, i can't give you any steel." >> erika: but scott persisted. and he eventually got enough steel for the navy to use. the ship was built in a dockyard in new orleans. construction took a little over three years. in march 2008, the "uss new york" was launched. when you first saw the ship built, describe what the moment was like. >> it's kind of like what everybody says. i mean, the hair went up on the back of my head. i've always been a very emotional person, and that's basically, the "uss newyork" is built on emotion. it's recycling that emotion. taking america's worst day and turning it into our greatest national symbol. and i felt that, as i was going in there that day. that this was something special that not only i, but you know, the nation can rally around. >> erika: at 684 feet, the ship is longer than two football fields. it has a crew of 360 sailors and can carry up to 700 marines. it sailed up to new york for the commissioning ceremony. as it passed the site

you and we just kept at it and kept going but some changes began in the struggle to get the navy out from the street fighting to political fighting. a very neighborhood when my mother was still alive one sunday we felt the rumble of five bombs explode i threw myself to the ground and yelled my god they're bombing us. whether this is an accident that could have killed us after that and also. fell in the garbage dump during a lunch between the legs of the workers another incident or accident or error so we had been alerting people. about the chance of an accidental killing a civilian. all that happened was foreseen like the book by god. we had already created a climate of danger and uncertainty the only thing that was missing occurred when david was killed. given that we can't do something bad would happen what else could we expect a bomb would kill someone said and done. when we went to camp garcia in the. you know there are two or you look none of us are in a position to i think i just got here. you know about the need to handle things in the manner i like we have to eat even the cap

that's where i used to go constantly for navy reserve meetings. back when the navy had it. many of the items that were mentioned today will be handled in the development agreement itself. they do not necessarily belong in the e.i.r. and that development agreement should be very, very carefully studied to cover those items, particular to what it would be like on the island. but i do believe that the density and transportation issues need further examination in my mind they have not been linked successfully. >> commissioner antonini. >> thank you. i'm ok with the two-week extension that's being proposed is the motion on the floor. and i want to thank mr. elberling for bringing up the concerns about jobs on the island, particularly those that deal with neighborhood serving. i think it is well analyzed in the e.i.r. there are i believe a total of around 45 ,000 square feet between the commercial, retail square footage on there and maybe a little bit more when we consider the hotels and perhaps even some of the recreational uses. i think it is important that the residents be abl

the navy didn't identify this as a historic resource. in looking at all those issues, and public assembly, and so on i was really struck with the fact that that church obviously played an important role in the history of the island all through ther-ea of world war ii, korean war, vietnam war. it was a very central focus of community for the military personnel who are certainly a part of the history of treasure island and san francisco. and i really find its omission inexplicable in my mind. i just want it noted. the navy assessment cannot be relied on as satisfactory for our local approval process. we have our own standards. and they should be applied to the pre--1947 buildings as well as the post-1947 buildings. perhaps that can help solve at least part of the problem that i referred to earlier. thank you. >> thank you. commissioner sugaya. >> i guess the main issue i look at treasure island frankly is the transportation issue. taking a step back i think many people need to understand this is an environmental document. and the role of t
