to the 280 western most lane. we move that from district 11 to district 7, and we also included the whole median of the geneva underpass, from d 11 to d 7. and again, this was a zero population change. we then ran various checks, including a continuity check on the planned area, verified the plans, and we had two results on the continuity check. when we had zero population non contiguous area, and that is the area over here. that is a 0 population, nine

contiguous area, because it was initially connected to district 6, and we moved out to district 10, because there is a census block that was otherwise cut off from district 6. that was done. . the other continuity check, we just wanted to verify that you wanted to parallel the islands in district 4. and that concludes our report. everything else came out beautifully, as designed. mr. mcdonnell: excellent, thank you. mr. pilpel: we did not address this earlier, and i'm not sure it bears much discussion, acceleration and deferral. i would note for record outhat

anyone in an even number number district will have the effect of accelerating, so they will have voted in 2010 and again in 2012, where is anybody in an odd number district and now at an even number district will not be deferred. although a day of vote. last in 2008 and would have voted in 2012, will not vote again for supervisor until 2014. i'm not sure it needs anything other than that, but i thought it was worth noting. thanks. mr. mcdonnell: thank you. any other questions? ok, i entertain a motion to approve ithis final draft of the met. >> so moved. mr. mcdonnell: is there a second? >> sure, i'll second. mr. mcdonnell: thank you.

ok, just before requesting vote, i would invite as you vote if there is a statement, a brief statement, the top order of word being brief, as you vote. you are not required to, but you are welcome to do so. ms. tidwell: yeah. mr. schreiber: yeah. mr. pilpel: i have a brief statement. i will keep it brief. this is a collective exercise. i thought a lot this afternoon as we went through this whether to support it. i am choosing to support it. i would not have made all of these choices, but we worked as a group, and we worked through a lot of disagreements among speech other, respectfully. i would note and want to continue to call attention to

the disparity in voter registration that results from under populating 3 and overpopulating 8. it appears to me that there will be roughly 35,000 voters registered in three, compared with eight, so a vote in district 3 4 supervisor will matter more than an individual vote for supervisor in district 8. i understand that some disparity will exist. i am concerned we have increased the level of disparity from what it was under the prior plan. that concerns me. otherwise, i can live with the differences in the plan, and thus i cast my vote to support. thank you. ms. mondejar: my vote is yes. i just want to say this is a collective process. it was difficult, we had some

disagreements. it is not perfect, but i want to thank my colleagues for working together and coming together for the map. mr. mcdonnell: thank you. mr. alonso: i am going to say yes, and real quick, it was a pleasure working with all of you, and hopefully i never have to work with you in this capacity again. [laughter] mr. alonso: but in the end, we pretty much brought the best out of the city as we could. thank you. >> i vote in support of the map. i also really want to thank everybody for working together on this, and it has been a pleasure to work with everybody. i personally feel like i learned a great deal about the city, which is what i will take the most value from a personal level forever, really.

i want to thank, in that regard, the staff, the consultants, the district attorneys that have worked with us. they have been a tremendous resource to us. i also think everybody in the community. i am amazed summon people have spent so much time, whether in our meetings or submitting it public comment or facebook, or what have you, it has been a very rich and critical source of information for all of us. i admire the dedication of everyone who has committed the time. ms. melara: i also want to thank everyone who supported us in this process, and all disagreements and agreements that we had, it was a lot of fun. the long nights or not a lot of fun, but i want to say yes outo the map. in the interest of collaboration.

i want to say again, in district 10, i will come back in 10 years just for that purpose. so hopefully i will be alive when i come back. but other than that, i think we did a great job. mr. mcdonnell: thank you. ms. lam: i am voting in support of our map, at what to think of the task force and the staff that support this process, and of course the members of the san francisco community for coming out. i think this product is truly an engagement of the public, not just of our own individual contributions to the redistricting process, and i hope that san francisco residents recognize -- my personal goal was this is going to be an inclusive process for all, and thank you. mr. mcdonnell: excellent.

thank you very much. i also vote in support of the map. i think it reflects where i began the process. i said yes to participation because of my interest and desire in getting the community engaged. on the one hand, i feel really good that we did a good job in that regard. that said, there are still a number of people in our community who did not get engaged. as i think about what we might have done better, that is one area that i wish we had more time and resources to focus more time and attention on. that said, still had a great turnout of the committee, which i am proud and pleased about, and i feel like they're for where we have landed with respect to this final map represent that. the last comment i would make, when we began the process, it was clear to me from a number of perspectives there was this expectation that the political views and perspectives of many, including individual task force

members, would dominate the process. i am very, very grateful to my colleagues that has not been the case. i think that speaks to the commitment and integrity of task force members that was not the case. it is not that we cannot have political points of view, it is that we allow this to be put on the back burner and allow ourselves to be open to public comment and land on decisions with respect to the districts that allow us to land on this now final map. so i am happy to say that we now have an approved final map. thank you all very much. [applause] >> could i add one more thing? i want to thank you and vice chair lam for taking on roles that he played. you in particular presiding over i92 of the 100 hours of the meetings we have had, i know it

has been a very difficult role, and you have done extremely well, and we all owe you. and everyone involved in this, whether this side or the other, owes a lot to you and to chair lam for stepping up, and you also did a wonderful job. mr. mcdonnell: thank you very much. all right, thank you all very much. moving back to item number five, we have a draft final report that we will now insert the approval date and folk, and that will allow us to have a final report. before i ask for a vote, at any public comment on the final report ? excellent. ms. leigh, anything else we have to do with the final report before approval? ms. leigh: i believe there was a

comment about delegating authority to someone to make final grammatical mr. mcdonnell: edits mcdonnell yes. ms. leigh: other than that, not to my knowledge. are you satisfied it is final? ms. tidwell: yes, with the exception of the vote and final grammatical fixes. mr. mcdonnell: okay, two pieces? >> combine them. mr. mcdonnell: all right, i entertained a motion to delegate the final edit responsibility to ms. tidwell and approval of the final report. >> so moved. >> second. mr. mcdonnell: alright, is there any objection?

>> not objecting, but what we do a roll call on the final report. mr. alonso: yes. ms. melara: yes. ms. lam: yes. ms. mondejar: yes. mr. pilpel: yes. mr. schreiber: yes. ms. tidwell: yes. mr. mcdonnell: thank you so much. >> i just wanted to thank tidwell, melara, and leigh, and really, thank you for taking the time to pull all lavar

reports together -- pull all of our reports together. mr. mcdonnell: thank you very much. it moving again, item number six. a press conference. based on lots of discussion and exploration with the city attorney around options, they are fairly limited in that while we do want to find a suitable, formal moment of issuing of the report, the problem is if we do it collectively, that it constitutes a meeting. once it constitutes a meeting, we are back where we started again. so our options are, a, we hold a press conference with less than a quorum present, which therefore does not constitute a meeting and we issue it, or to report its issued and a less public, less formal, less

visible way and just gets distributed to committee and habitants. discussion? >> i have a suggestion. i suggest we hold a press conference with share mcdonnell and vice chair lam, and maybe a couple other task force members would be willing to participate in that so we would have at least a public presentation of the final map and the result. mr. mcdonnell: thank you. mr. alonso: or perhaps we could have john did a press conference on his own, provided he has time, since he is not an official member of the task force. mr. mcdonnell: okay, and obviously we would have to explore that with him. we cannot commit him at this moment. atmr. lee: i do think it is

important, in whatever way, to get the word out quickly, based on the same issues that member pilpel reyes, there are a number of implications that will move quis in our interest and the city's interest for people to know what they're voting, when they did not expect to be voting, and vice versa, not to mention all of the other political activity. i think a press conference would be good. i am find myself with not attending the press conference, but i think we need to do whatever we can to spread the word quickly and widely. ms. mondejar: i'm not really sure bridget ms. melara: i agree this information has to get out to the media and as many people as possible, as soon as possible. by tomorrow, this will be old news, so a press conference is probably it less than effective. it is more trying to get the

information out. mr. mcdonnell: thank you. any other comments? i wouldn't say whether it is a press conference or not, the idea is it is a moment of idea distribution. i don't want to get caught up on the language of "press." mr. pilpel: perhaps since we have issued press releases before, if we could just issue a short release saying that we have adopted this matter and report, distribute that to anyone we could think of it as a beginning, we certainly have seen some coverage today. i don't know of the board of supervisors would want you to make a short presentation at a meeting on tuesday, to just say, is there, something along those lines. mr. mcdonnell: okay, thank you.

mr. alonso: the press is out there, so we could just run out in the next five minutes? mr. mcdonnell: nice. we have one proposal on a press conference with less than a quorum, at a conference at event. mr. alonso: no. ms. lamms. leigh: yes. ms. mondejar: yes. mr. pilpel: yes. mr. schreiber: yes. ms. tidwell: yes. mr. mcdonnell: thank you so much. we will move forward with planning and event of some sort, less than a quorum, to be determined how and when. any public comment on the press conference item? thank you so much. item number 7, task force budget. ms. lam: there are no additional reporting, just a

recap from the last budget. we are anticipating a net balance of " approximately $8800 related to the outreach and consultants. at minimum, we would have that balance if not more. mr. mcdonnell: any questions? mr. pilpel: consistent with the comment a while back, some funds existing, and consistent with the admen codes, could we arrange to. a small number of reports, in addition to having a pdf available on the website for download and printing? mr. mcdonnell: yes, thank you. ok, any other questions? any public comment on budget? thank you so much. moving to item number eight,

general public comment. on non-agenda items. ok. excellent. just before we adjourn, ms tidwell? ms. tidwell: sorry, yes. just on behalf of the task force, i think we were all very grateful that kay decided to come out of retirement to help us. [appluse] we all think she has been very instrumental in the insured its posted, getting us public, as quickly as possible, posting the draft maps, and we really would not have been able to do it, stayingwe appreciate all the hef the people who have supported us, but i think you were really a crucial member to our team. we just want to say thank you. >>

i will not be back in ten years. >> one last word then if i may. last kind of prerogative of the chair. again, it's been really a plesh working with each of you as i commented a moment ago there were many who expected this to turn into some kind of political fight of progressives and moderates and everybody in between on opposite sides and it did not materialize because we didn't allow it to materialize. so i really appreciate each of you for that. and again, to kay and -- who was everywhere all the time which was just incredible and we appreciate that, to the city

attorney's office, just incredible support, always available and always supporting us nudging us when we were getting too close to boundries in any respect. and our consultants have provided both technical assistance and advice and often led us when we weren't sure where we were going. so i really appreciate that. so to that end, kind of my own. one of the things that we subscribe to at united way where i serve by day which i now get to return to my day job as chief operating officer of united way, is we talk about living united. that that's what we try to instill and catalyze in our communities. everyone owning and being trustees of community and i feel like this task force and all that have supported have done the same. so to that end i have for the q 2 team united t-shirts.

i have for the city attorneys team live united t-shirt. and for each of the task force members. and we have coffee mugs. so i will be giving those out to you as you depart. so with that, and again with a deep sense of gratitude and appreciation both for all the time we spent together and for the fact that this is the last time we spend this time together, we adjourn.
