we have already agreed to maintain the district. >> i am an ex-president, and i have been our resident for about 18 years. goo>> try again. but >> i have difficult decisions, but we residents

would like to remain with district 10 as atheistit is. we ask you to think about, we do not know anything about moving to district 6. we stay the same as we are a. >> next speaker. goobuy if i am a filipino ameri. filipinos are bucknethe second t asian group in san francisco. by keeping the enclaves hole and together, you give to the community an opportunity.

you have been hearing neighborhoods and streets, and you connect them with certain as economic groups or racial groups or social groups. good there is an economic, her connection. if i say third streets, i am a third-generation filipino. my mother was born here, and if i say filipinos, i do not think of an area in san francisco. i think of daly city. good we have been bouncing around different areas of the city, and does have a generation

has been setting roofs of all night, and i hope they keep our on curveenclaves together. >> thank you. next speaker. >> i am a 26-year resident. i look out of the portal. gmy bank is on san bruno. the chinese supermarket are frequent is on san bruno. i have what my dogs of the park. i think the argument is not

belong in district 9 is bogus, and i think the argument that the 280 barrier is bigger than the 101 is a bogus argument. >> thank you. next speaker. but i am here to speak about keeping the together. as a former legislature gavaid,i have firsthand experience of the social issues and safety issues of lower hateight. the residents want to make sure we do not make the same mistake

as in the last new redistricting efforts. it has been a struggle for the last 10 years in regards to safety and consistency of social issues in district 5, and our office took action because district 8 office did not have the priority is to deal with social and safety issues within the western addition. they worked together on safety issues, and used projects. everything is together, so to split it does not make sense. i am here to stay to keep it together and the interest of safety and economic development.

>> next speaker please. >> good afternoon. i live in district 10. i would like to say i have been a resident since 1943. i have lived in hunters point since 1948. until 1954 when the integration law was passed, most of the >> lived in the southeast sector. we were able to start buying homes, which we did. i am here to ask you to not take it away, because historically we have worked together on issues that affect my community, which has been city planning as well as redevelopment agency as well

as people not knowing terrier, so if you have not lived here, you will not know what has happened in the past, so we are together because we lived in temporary housing and the 1940's. good i want to thank you very much. because of the fact the redevelopment agency is redeveloping. thank you. >> my name is calvin, and i am here to speak in favor of the community map in regards to tonight's discussion, in favor

of the fighting the eastern portion of golden gate park, but most importantly, i am here to talk about the critical importance of the last speaker's remarks. it is inconceivable to contemplate district town without metro hill region -- without petrero hill. three of the four have resided on petrero hill. do you need any more historical reality of the interconnectedness than the simple fact? the overwhelming majority were affected by votes from petrero hill and bayview hunters point.

it is critical lot be kept whole. your map keieps it whole and puts it in district 9. it is also important to keep district attend united. -- to keep district attend united. >> i am the president of the neighborhood organization, and on behalf of the neighborhoods we tried to show off a little bit, i want to thank you for your continued efforts to keep the west side together, and thank you for that effort. >> thank you. next speaker.

but the last time i attended a meeting of the task force -- >> please state your name. >> my name is francisco. the last time i attended a meeting of the task force was willie brown, and each and every one of somthem, and this time i have refrained from coming to your meetings, but people have come and reported. i want to ask you unquestioned.

i want to ask a question about demographics. economic analysis, real business spen, infrastructure, housing, schools, safety commo, and i cod give you a list of 40 or 50. those are the things that need to go into redistricting to address quality of life. i was once in district 10, and suddenly i was in district 9, so you taskforce members should have a vision. do not follow politics. that is what i am saying.

>> thanks for listening to us. thanks for your work. i have been working with the people in the community, and i wanted to speak about of mclaren park. it is a wonderful place. i am so glad to hear the supervisor: places it as a high priority. i feel like i can trust her to do a good job content comes to dealing with mclaren park, but nobody lives there, and i feel quite comfortable with the fact mcpherson -- that supervisor c oen into a good job that f, but

that would be putting the hard work of the window. there is a ploy, a lot of people who have come to see have not been told it would get rid of petrero hill. i thing you should be aware. >> >my name is steven hooper. any of the neighborhood in district 11 could claim they lived since the district.

i would like to speak in support of one particular item, and that is it per to the border should be further south. i have learned a lot. the demographics, everything points to holloway as being the barrier between districts 7 and district 11. i would like to say i support what supervisor cohen says. it is a question of a community that extends well beyond into visitation valley that would be denied its sense of unity in order to accommodate other people across town who want to

influence by manipulating the map, so that is my point. get holloway is of great barrier. it works. >> thank you. >> i was a member of the redistricting taskforce in 1995. if you should receive some packets, including revisions of six districts. also demographics on the percentage of filipinos in four districts. also russian hill, which shows the eastern and southern parts are heavily chinese and that the boundaries should be on jones and also vallejo.

also satellite maps. you can see where the houses are, and where they are not. finally, i did not have time to staple these, but i have a comparison of all the maps. this is only up until the 16th of march, but you can see the population differences. but i did not bring the maps. if you are looking up 1% deviation, the average deviation is a point to 9% based on 2002 lines. that would be 64,000 people. if you brought it down to zero debt would be 73,000.

you are only 2/3 of what you need to do. 80's 39,000 variation until there provided. thank you very much. >> can i have this overhead and projector please? good evening. we unanimously decided to end bias of our decision by letter to reaga.

we agree it should include the residential area. i believe you sought at the last meeting the ethnic and cultural division, there was no division. there was a strong division faja between ninth and 10 if you do it on the freeway. i speak to you to support the federally mandated charge you have this is part of the same community of interest as the rest. it does little or no interest which mr. tan region -- with district ten. it should not be split.

the clinics and hospitals are an integral part. they draw their patient days from all areas, but the mission is the most overwhelmingly represented. i strongly urge you to keep this community together. i am pleased supervisor cohen has reiterated that it remain together in district 10. i am going to be handing these are round. good on the bottom is the population deviation. it is 73,000, which is exactly

-- >> any additional speakers for public comment on this agenda item? we will take a 10-minute break and return of >> thank you. thank you to the members of the public for providing it your testimony and public input to the current draft map, and at this time if i could have mr. lee, we are going to approach

mapping and what we may or may not decide to do moving forward with this particular agenda item. in the past when we have not had all nine members of the task force, we have had to consider if we would do line drawing. chrir mcdonald said he would ask they consider not drawing lines tonight, so i wanted to invite taskforce members on their preference. even if we decide to not do line drawing, i would like has force members to listen herriot's they would like to continue to inquire about -- to list stereos -- areas they would like

to continue to inquire about. i will open its to up. >> my concern tonight is both of our members who are not here have not heard what was said to night. we did, and unless they would be willing to look through the minister'utes for the last two meetings, it would be very difficult to respond to issues

that have come off without having the right information, because we have heard different information, and i am extremely concerned about the latinos in district 9, a close the population comes to about 38%. when you do not decrease, and you move to the mission north, you have more like 42%. we have tried to keep the filipino population to whether -- together. in considering the role the latino population plays, i would be concerned we would do away

with the district has been considered a latino district. >> i think some of the members have expressed they would prefer to wait, then i am trying to do so, but i am not opposed to having a conversation, but moving that is a rather big change. i think it is important to have consideration, and my suggestion is that we highlight, and we could talk now about some of those topics to see where we are, but it continues to come up, flag some of those issues so we make a decision as a task force about where we stand. >> i indicated some of the areas.

some of that did not happen. i would be interesting in having further conversations about identifying areas where we would make further changes. if if is things we want to think about, i am happy for the moment. >> i am fine with it. i want to make sure our members who are not here have ability to read the information. >> i would like to inform the task force the audio will be available, so they will be online tomorrow or monday, so that will be available.

>> i am also concerned by the testimony this evening. i know we agreed we are going to keep neighborhoods together, and we did honor that. i would really like us to consider what the possibilities are and what the implications are, because what we do and what we are going to decide is going to impact the community for the next 10 years, and i would like to be 100% convinced of how we

would respond to this request, so i will go with a majority if we do not want to read drop tonight -- to redraw tonight. i think we need to have a thoughtful discussion about these issues that have been raised by the community of. >> we have agonized what to do for a long time. that is why we made this decision to respect the eastern side of town to make it a priority. district 9 was the logical

point. to do such a large change without the other members here would be to rewind everything we have done for the last couple months, so we have already made a decision. we have already seen what it looks like, and it affects every other district and neighborhood attached, so unless we want to rewind or except the fact what we have united mucha portland -- much of portolla and make small changes here and there, i am cote -- i am ok with that, but in a large change, i would

like to hold off. i do agree, let's write small changes. if the intent is to do a large cut away, i am going to say no. >> i appreciate your comments, but i want to say, we did make some issues, but we should also be listening to the community. we have a large contingent to talk about mr. tan, an -- about district 10, and i would like to reconsider, because we did not have this kind of feedback from the community, and i know

this is the last day for recommending
