shelter all to stay in district six and for that we thank you. crow did a lot of great work on the boundary which was a very difficult task as far as population. you've kept the most tenderloin parts into district six and for that we thank you. i'm here with one small request. on wednesday night when you were making non-population changes you moved two blocks over by halladay [applause] yao out of six and into three. i don't think this was your intent, but what it did was took the bristol hotel, which is an s.r.o. of approximately a hundred people when eddie and market street out of six and into three. that is a problem, we are asking that you take just that one block of halladay plaza back into district six, and that you also not remove anything else from district six at this point. i realize you're trying to equalize populations, district three is at a deficit at about 3% or so, however you are allowed to go up to 5% in order to preserve communities of interest, you're doing that for other districts.

i think district three having a slight 3.5% deviation in order to keep the tenderloin as a community of interest is important, and frankly the 100 people in that block is not going to go very far as far as balancing that deficit. so please, put that one block of western halladay [applause] yao back into district six and don't make any more changes and we'll be very happy. >> thank you sir. following mr. stol will be michael nolty, lawrence reid, evans, and rose hilton. >> hello, my name is kevin stall and i live at 875 post street which, right now, you kept in district six and i wanted to say i thank you for that. i am a tenant organizer in my building and we worked with the bristol hotel, helping deal with issues with the tenants who live

there that have problems that they did not solve. so we helped solve their issues for them. and we would like to continue to work with them as long as they stay in district six. it's only like a hundred people though, which is a very insignificant population addition to district three, but it would still be most important to keep the tenderloin as a community intact. to keep the tenderloin intact. he also just said that he with hopefully not having to take anything else away from district six as well. thank you for your hard work and hopefully this will be the last of your meeting. thank you, and go giants. >> hi, i'm lawrence lee -- >> hold on, it's actually mr. nolty first. >> oh, i'm sorry.

>> can you do everything at once? all right, thank you very much. my name's michael nolty, i'm the executive vice president for district six, a planning organization formed in 1999 to deal with district batteries and concerns. here today, i'm here today to talk about holiday plaza and the block from mason to market street. and this is this block here. this block is a part of the tenderloin, not union square. it is a part of the district, if you look at your maps, you'll see these are the boundaries of the central market c.b.d. and, this block contains the bristol hotel at 56 mason and

many social services organizations at 944 market, which is right here. which i have to be a volunteer at one of those offices. please, so please place this block back into district six where it belongs. again for the audience out there in never, neverland, here again is another map of the market c.b.d. and the block that we're talking about. and here is the actual description of the -- all this stuff is up on the screen up there. >> oh, because they moved it down stairs. >> all right, but anyway -- >> there it is. >> in closing, i would like to

ask you to please keep district five in laguna. there are many reasons for this. ok, i can't multitask either. >> thank you very much, sir. >> hi, i'm lawrence lee from the lower eight. thank you so much for listening to our community. redwoast keep our immunity together. moving the southern border to herman street was a big improvement, and really want to thank you for holding that. that keeps our commercial corridors all in one district. one more request is to consider moving 55 laguna into district five. the reason for that, first of

all there's no population change would occur with that. and the second reason is we have been working many hours, working with the developers and mercy housing on including affordable housing, and right now we're working on an issue making sure that intergrates well with our community. there are some design issues that we're working with. already, in the last few months we've met twice, we continue to be working on this, and really the issue is to really intergrate that property into our neighborhood. and into our community. and therefore we feel that it is part of our community and it would be great to include that in district five. >> rita evans, rose hillson.

>> thank you very much for this opportunity to speak today. i have lived in the sunnyside neighborhood for 26 years and shortly after moving there became aware of the sunnyside neighborhood association which i soon joined and became active in and found that group had been formed in the mid 1970's to promote the neighborhood and in particular and try to do something to restore and maintain our neighborhood gem, the sunnyside conservatory. our landmark historic neighborhood gem, the sunnyside conservatory was restored just a few years ago with neighborhood volunteers and many, many sunnyside residents have been involved in the restoration and maintenance of that facility and

solicitting the funds for it and so far. sunnyside elementary is at the part of the neighborhood. we have the sunnyside park just renovated two years ago. we do indeed have a very clear neighborhood identity. our boundaries have been clearly documented in every newsletter since the mid-1990's. our meetings and newsletters routinely discuss and promote the sunnyside conservatory to sunnyside park recreation center. sunnyside elementary school. i'm making a strong plea for my neighborhood, sunnyside. a neighborhood gem in san francisco. to remain intact and to be a part of district seven. and i want to thank all of you volunteer members of this task force for the very hard work that you've been doing. thank you. >> thank you, ma'am. >> plsh macdonnell, members of

the redistricting task force, thank you so much for everything you've done in this whole process and the transparency of the process. i'm personally going to nominate all of you for a congressional medal of honor. i have been before you several times now, and each time everything i've brought to you, you've delivered on. i just want to thank you very much for what you did with the booker t. corridor, with hamilton rec center, being put back into district five and the concerns we had in another area. so i'm only taking less than 30 seconds of my two minutes to say thank you very much. i hope to see all of you again individually, not as a panel. thank you. [laughter] >> thank you, sir. following miss hillson, bruno, my apologies, your last name. bruno.

and lois scott. >> good afternoon, my name is rose hillson. i'm a resident of district two and i'm also a member of the japan town organizing committee of district five. i want to first thank you all for taking into consideration all the communities of interest that we've outlined from the japan town task force. and i know it's doing to be a very hard decision. but i'm only one represent forgive here from japan town task force because today's beginning of the cherry blossom festival. and all the people there who have been showing up for japan town are not sitting in this room. at least one other person that i know of besides me. and i also wanted to let you

know that you've all been great, you've done everything you can, and i know you're going to continue to do the right thing and take into consideration everyone's comments. what i did receive was i found, in the one meeting i kind of gave a cryptic message. it has nothing to do with anything you've done, it has nothing to do with the process from what i can see. it seems pretty transparent. but i've gotten communication that says otherwise, and due to that, i want to submit a couple of news articles that talk about political things. and i'll leave that here for you guys to review. i talked about being kind of split about being skitso fren i think or not because i'm district two and district five. it has nothing to do with all you guys. i just need you to read this thing because of some communication i received, and

i'm going to put on the overhead in my 10 seconds left, los angeles, this is a city, los angeles, california. and what it shows are some of the districting lines there. and it's having problems. thank you. >> hi, good day. my name is mar zel brown and i work with central center -- >> i'm sorry, hold on one second. only because it's not your turn just yet. it's bruno. >> good morning, a pleasure to be here this morning. this is on such a sort an important issue. i personally want to commend you

all in your work. i think perhaps the most important is the fact that you listen, you're listening to a lot of these comments and you've been making decisions accordingly. i just learned or i hope that it is the case i've heard a group, who was very important, very critical to the organization to who we are have been made whole. i'm here to speak for an institution that is part of, it's partner of the organization. we are the -- i am the senior warden of that church. that church has been in district five for at least 89 years. and it's one of the largers in

the area. it is prominently located. we feel for the last four to five years have established a relationship with an organization that is well known that are very, should we say pervasive in the whole area. to established this relationship, now they have four walls. they have four walls in which they can institute, implement a lot of their programs, establish new programs in the neighborhood. being a very, very critical partner to a lot of these functions. we want to continue to do that. and we would just wish that when you're looking at the situation, that you will consider keeping it separate in the district. in district five. >> thank you. thank you very much.

>> i represent san francisco, among the japan town organizing committee. in the interest of last minute testing, cohesive communities of interest, i'm proposing -- on the map, that you should test. excuse me, may i have time to put this all back together again? thank you very much. district one and two moving population north of california street. compensating that for the community of interest around golden gate park. to south of golden gate park as indicated on the map.

and then switching to that, by the way compensating district four indicated here. switching to c.p.m. site, it's a no population area. i've indicated to you the technical and legal reasons for having it represented in district five. i mentioned an unrepresented large islamic district that i have dotted on that map. it does not yet participate, it's largely independent. it should be in one district to ultimately absorb. thank you very much, again. >> thank you, sir. >> by the way i'm going to mention again the voting rights regard of voter region station

just to protect yourself. >> thank you very much. mr. everhart, mr. speaker brown and mr. speaker scott. >> good morning. my name is sharon and i'm vice chair of the district 11 council and a 4 year resident which is located in the heart of district 11. i do not come forward to test by earlier because my neighborhood has never seriously been in danger of being split into another district. but i wanted to take this last opportunity to speak, to publicly thank the task force for not just listening to the public, but to actually hearing all the folks who came to testify. and for your commitment to keeping neighborhoods whole. for you reuniting the other neighborhoods that were split 10 years ago. i also wanted to thank the consultants and kay for all their work in getting the draft maps and the boundaries up on the website so quickly. and lastly i would like to thank

any fellow council members who came to testify so passionately but respectfully for their neighborhoods in district 11. so far we have only lost population in those areas we all agreed to sacrifice to keep district 11 whole. it is an honor to serve with them on the council and to have them as friends. thank you, and one last please, don't make any further changes to district 11. >> thank you, ma'am. yes, mrs. brown? >> hi, my name is marzel brown and i work with central city collaborative. and today i'm here on the behalf of the bristol hotel. which is located on 56 mason. mike nolty has showed you the little map area of where we want to stay. it is very, very small as you

can see this little section right here. that's what we need to keep in district six. so if you guys will help us out, and remap that, it will be a great deal to us and the tenants in the bristol hotel that we deal with on a daily basis. thank you again for your time and your preparations and you guys do a wonderful job. keep up the good work. >> thank you. >> following mrs. scott will be shelby, lisa shin, pierre and natalie brown. >> good morning task force. my name is lois scott, and i live by cathedral, i live on cathedral hill by st. mary's

cathedral about two and a half blocks from the proposed hospital site. i'm on the board of the cathedral hill neighbors who were dispointed that our neighborhood who was going to be reunited in your quest and necessity to have the numbers come out was still split. i guess we joined russia hill as one of those neighborhoods that will be permanently split. we're some what of an emerging neighborhood association, that we've only been in existence about half a dozen years, not as long as some of the other neighborhoods in san francisco. we have a huge, huge issue coming up on the construction of the cathedral hill campus of the hospital. 555 beds, a huge impact on our neighborhood.

that particular block we urgently request you put that back in district five. it has no population and as a future hospital it will have no population. it is so much more related to the western addition than the marina in district two. we are the immediate neighbors of that facility so we implore you to make a final tweak, no population involved to reinclude, repatriate the hospital site. >> thank you, ma'am. i'm sure i'm killing these names, my apologies. >> ok, today i've come with show and tell.

i'm not going to talk for too long. again, like many of you, everybody here who has been at these meetings recognizes that this has been just a fabulous process and we're really, really pleased with it. we're so happy you helped us by putting our boreders to herman so we can have our merchants and neighbors join us in district five. this is a no population request that we're that is 55 laguna be part of district five. it is in our neighborhood, it effects us, we want for the folks who live in to it be able to be fought for by the supervisor of that district. what i'm doing today in the show and tell is just showing you the murriel we've done as a community. this was 100% done with love and talent and energy and no money

by the community to try to make a better lower. this is one of our artists. this is another artist, you may recognize, urs la young. she's going to be redoing this piece if you want to watch on monday. another famous artist david chung lee who does absolutely gorgeous work. he's actually on 6th and this is the famous silly pink bunny. jeremy fish, who is the pink bunny, 20 years, 1991-2011. he was living in that neighborhood, becoming a famous art nist the lower part and did this all for free. to give you a sense of the size of this, we had a celebration where we celebrated the murriel and you can see the district

supervisor in the back. that's a big ass bunny you're looking at there . i just want to say if you can possibly change your minds and realize this does belong there, i would really appreciate it. thank you. >> thank you so much. >> hello, my name is lisa shin. i'm a resident and small business owner, also active with lower hayden neighborhood merchant association. opened up a business about a year ago and have been really impressed with the neighborhood effort. it's really a unique neighborhood and the demographic we serve, i think it's one -- we all feel like the underdogs to small neighborhood, but you know i've seen the work that the board has put forth, specifically with 55 laguna. and i think for, you know to have a neighborhood that's

focused on the issues at hand, you know, we want to keep that intact. i understand there are always political reasons, and issues of why orders get drawn a certain way. i think we just ask that there's a rational justification for all the decisions that are made. you know, you can't really tell people what neighborhood belong to. they feel a sense of belonging to, you know, the community that they're close to, that they frequent, so we just are looking to keep that intact and we appreciate your work, thank you. >> thank you. >> good morning, i'm a merchant on the lower street association. i just want to say it is probable as you all well know, very bad crime ridden, we had a lot of issues. we worked hard, very hard to make it a better neighborhood. the issue here today is about 55

laguna. we would really like that in district five. it is part as it stands. it really is. and we've cleaned up everything, the neighborhood, in hopes that guys will see that. this particular property with this perfectly. it would be such an asset to our community. it would also enhance all parts of the community. all these other areas are doing very, very well. we've had very little crime since the last four or five years. it's been just a great place to live and a great place to be. so i really appreciate your assistance in this endeavor. thank you very much. >> thank you, sir. >> i do not see valley.

moving on. >> good morning. i am peter strauss from the lower haight and district 5 and district 8. it looks like i will be staying in district 8. we have reached the bottom of the night. i am. -- i am sure it feels more like the bottom of the 54th. baseball analogies aside, there are a bunch of us here to make one last pitch. in 55 laguna into district 5. we have talked about community and compromise. we have gusty to recognize haight is the spine of the community and should not be treated as a border.

we appreciate what you have done in the commercial destroyed by moving the boundary down. the closest to a win win would be able to split the property. i understand that is beyond your purview because it involves changing precinct boundaries. it may be that is the direction we need to go. most of us would be willing to work with supervisor wiener to achieve the closest to a win- win, but we may not be in to do that at this time. i urge you to establish the baseline at the most logical and consistent place with their review your purview. we believe that would be to establish 55 laguna as part of district 5. thank you. >> thank you, sir.

>> i am steve courier from district 11. everything in this ever hart said -- miss eberdardt said, ditto. thank you. on tuesday night, we flyered census block 2008. i did get some phone calls thanking us. it is good that they are happy and i am happy. i want to thank you for this process. >> hello, everybody. i am a lower haight street merchant. i have been there 25 years. i have a record shop. the police and merchant association has done so much to make our world better.
