disabling condition as well as an active voice in the city, so i think with those qualifications, i could not think of somebody more qualified to sit on this board, so i am fully in favor of it. >> next speaker. >> good afternoon, commissioners. i recently retired from the human rights commission. i worked with mark dunlop for many years. i thought he was one of the best commissioners, very smart, and i have talked with him quite a bit about treasure island and its development. i do not want it to be a playground for the rich. i wanted to be an enhancement of the neighborhood it is. markdown not now agrees with that. i trust in and think he will make a terrific addition to the

i am coming into this 10 years after the start, but i have lots of experience, having been on the redevelopment agency during the time of mission bay and also during the beginning of the hunters point shipyard. the most important function is to be a neighbor and provide leadership in my neighborhood and to help people through this incredibly sometimes difficult transition stage, which i think that is when the most important functions of the neighborhood member of the board. i know you have received information on me, and i would hundley ask for your approval. >> any questions -- i would hopefully -- humbly ask for your approval. >> any questions? may we close the hearing? this hearing has been closed. items 31 and 32 are in the hands

ocean avenue community districts. item 44 order's philosophy and assessment of properties located in the approved ocean avenue district for 20 year-end -- fiscal year 2011. >> we will hear testimony for the of proposed authorization of the property containing 148 identified parcels in the ocean avenue area. boundaries include parcels on all sides of the street unless otherwise noted. those properties running along ocean avenue to interstate 280. they will complete tabulation of the ballots. members of the public may view

the tabulation on the level of city hall in room 59. if the number of ballots is such that it is not feasible to tabulate the balance today, the board of supervisors may reassess to obtain a final tabulation. the board of supervisors may not approve the establishment of the district if there is majority protests. if upon the approval of the hearing of the ballots exceed those submitted in favor of the assessment. ballots are weighted according to proposed evaluation of the property. today's hearing will be conducted as possible. we will hear from speakers in opposition to the assessment district 4 of 2 minutes each. if a property owner wishes to change his or her vote, you may speak to department staff, and

they will provide you with an affidavit and a ballot. after the hearing closes, the ballots will be countered. let me ask if you have any additional comments. supervisor avalos: thank you, president chiu. just that i am a big supporter of the district you're a good -- of the district. the dow reached they have done -- especially the collaborative again weaver as well, and i will talk about this after the hearing, but i do want to mention this. there are a lot of interviews.

there is a lot of great history of ocean avenue. we can talk about how it has changed over the years. in the past 10 years, it has been dramatic. we have not seen incredible street improvements. -- we have seen incredible street improvements. this is the current version of it, and i hope we can get a good ballot today to see it pass. >> why don't i first asked if there are members of the public who wish to speak today. if so, if you could please line up in the center aisle, and each speaker shall have up to two minutes to speak.

>> president chiu, members of the board, i am a long term president of the southwest area. i am a volunteer of ocean avenue. i am also the co-chair for collaborative. i am speaking in favor of the community benefits district. we looked at providing gains for the businesses on ocean avenue for security and for the general benefit of all our neighbors in the area. thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker.

>> i am proud to say i was the first one that initiated a business improvement district at union square downtown when willie brown took office. that was one of my food suggestions. it was a squalid area. it was terrible. all the department stores did not benefit from the conditions surrounding it. it was horrible. it became a wonderful, a clean area, exciting to tourists, and it lifted the area i cannot say how much, so i surly back every community district of this trying to be established. as far as i am concerned, everyone should have a community districts. the city is broke.

we have been saying this for years. we need its downtown. we have the most population, the most density of tourists, and we do not have a community benefits district, but i am working on it with the mayor's office. hopefully, we can get it, but i wish everybody would get behind it, because if is a disgrace. we have skateboarders, by kurds, the homeless. the suggestions you have made to get -- we have skateboarders common bahamas, -- skateboarders, bikers, the homeless. the suggestions you have made to get rid of the homeless are not

working. >> thank you. next speaker. >> i am the project manager. i would like to follow up with the previous speaker. they are excited to see this established. some of these are included to basic printing, diamond hair studio and chiropractic. >> next speaker. >> good afternoon. i am with ocean avenue revitalization.

this is very frugal. if it achieves the basic cost structure of less than $1,000 for a 25-foot property. it will provide vitally needed basic services to the street such as maintaining and sweeping the sidewalk, picking up rubbish and basic things that need to be done for any retail district. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> walter, a graduate of the middle school, and i just want to say -- ♪ climb every mountain ♪ i know you can afford your ocean avenue dream ♪ ♪ remember, make your district green ♪

>> thank you. are there any other speakers who would like to speak on this matter? seeing none, we will wait for the board president to close public comment. >> if you are opposed to it, please step up. >> my name is jesse waters. we have been on ocean avenue since 1962, and i wanted to address the board of supervisors that this cbd is trying to -- is a complete farce. it is working on the backs of the property owners of ocean avenue, which i find very unfair. does anyone read the newspaper? does anyone know foreclosures are at a record high? does anyone know this is the

worst economic time since the depression? why would anyone want to settle property owners who are already struggling because business owners are having a hard time, and now you want to impose an additional property taxes? this is insane. this is unfair power being pushed again of property owner on ocean avenue. i represent 80 property owners, and we are all very much against the creation of the cbd. i am also against is this actual vote is illegal. i have handed out to each of you a copy that shows court law, and it shows the initial 31.64% required to establish this a vote was not required. you did not meet the 30%

threshold. what happened was there were a few properties that did not have the right to vote 100% for that particular property. they only have 50% or 33%, but for some reason they were voted as 100% ownership, so if you will stick no luck, -- take a look, you will find that -- >> thank you very much. thank you. are there any other members of the public who wish to speak in opposition? >> i am not a resident, but i am a person who has a recent cbd in my community, so i caution all the property owners and residents, and nikko's

currently you have to check any -- and currently you have to check anything that comes into your county. a cbd doesn't have to be a perfect fit, like in our addition. they think they control everything because they have one coming for renewal next year. their leadership got together, and that is not the true value of it. it does not fit in every community, so i caution: my -- caution omi
