3:00 am
the motion common and i am not sure i want to lock myself into a particular date, because things could change. if there is some persuasive thing, i am open to it. i am not sure if there is going to be something huge and persuasive, but there may be a need to make a final tweaks somewhere. if we could really advance the report, i am very comfortable with that, but i am not sure the setting an earlier date right now helps. >> i think i am on the position that the fifth is possibly -- i
3:01 am
think we should be ready to draft an ad nauseam to the point where we feel comfortable about where we are, and i think we will not decide on the ninth we are moving to the 10th. i think the fed is probably the right statedate, and i think we should leave the last day. >> i will amend my motion to allow a final drive that addresses the larger issues of leave open to polishing and tweaking after that.
3:02 am
after the fifth. >> if we can to roll call. >> are we accepting that amendment without objection? >> without objection, they will be excepted without the amendment. >> on the motion as amended -- [calling votes] there are six ayes and one no. the motion pass those -- the motion passes.
3:03 am
i think maybe we need to restate the motion for the public debt on april 9 the task force will provide a preliminary draft -- i am sorry. on the fifth. a preliminary final map which will allow for changes to be made at a later date, and it is april 5. >> correct. >> of his time, i am going to conclude the work plan agenda item. we will move on to task force's budget. i do not have any new updates, but overall we are so well in in thin as a task force overall expenses.
3:04 am
>> i have a point of clarification, but on item 4 regarding mali's suggestions for inclusion, i did not know whether or not we have arrived on fact. maybe i just miss that. we can taket it offline if that is easier. >> if we can take it off line, that would be great. >> i do not care when, but sometime in the next 15 and a half days, could we have some kind of budget reconciliation in writing that shows where we are in various expenses? i would like to feel comfortable but we did our task within the budget as amended.
3:05 am
>> thank you. >> public comment for task force and budget? task force member reports? >> nothing. >> nothing. >> i had to add we are receiving a few media inquiries, but i wanted to be able to alert you about that, and i anticipate we will continue to get more requests as we get closer to our final states. >> are responding -- are we responding to those requests? >> that those requests go
3:06 am

3:07 am
cents so you can see which blocks might be affected. >> i did not finish what i wanted to say about out reach. i said good things, but it now predominantly turned out bad. there was insufficient software, insufficient training, insufficient everything, and although several people were at that meeting, not a single mouth came out of that, and that is a function of the budget. the budget was insufficient. the first thing that goes is advocacy, and things get really bad. let me close by putting on my predict perhaps -- predicter hat.
3:08 am
i am going to predict a couple things. portrero is going to turn of the way it did 10 years ago. it is going to be put back north of market. there are a couple of differences. we are not in the brown administration, and it is interesting to see the appointments not be giving in lockstep. a representative from chinatown was claudine, and she was completely unresponsive to the requirement, and my question to you now is where is she now. >> as a matter of record, i want to stay faste that as far as i ,
3:09 am
if you umbrella organizations were contacted, and no input was taken for the community unity map, and so i do not know which community they were united, but it was the neighborhoods. just because you have drawn blinds does not mean they cannot be changed. i would encourage you to take a look. redrawsf.org and is really good. it is a lot of fun. it does not take long, but you can actually see where you aren' and the racial makeup of y
3:10 am
group in the area, which is what i did on the map you have, so draft the lines yourself at home. it has been easy. thanks. >> do we took the words out of my mouth. i do not know how many of you have actually gone to san francisco and drafted your own map, but if you are proficient with it, and it took me about a month before i got proficient with it, but i could probably move to 40,000 people in rotation in about 30-, and it can be done.
3:11 am
there was a lot of testimony from people supporting the community saying, you cannot change it. it is going to be too difficult to change it. nonsense. the fact is you only need five rotations going in a counterclockwise direction, and 5% will beat weeks you can do in the next two weeks. protrero hill into district 6. the theater district, the islands into district 3, 3700 people interdistrict two 3300 people into district 5, and you have accomplished in 95% of what you need to accomplish, and it
3:12 am

3:13 am
these different groups defending their areas, and the lines you create are going to build those communities the filipino community have not had an actual larry get it was designed as theirs. i heard a long time ago there was a question about japan town becoming little manilla. i am asking and requesting that you recognize there is a filipino community in san francisco, and i hope they stay together in one consolidated area. thank you. >> thank you. at this time and we will take -- >> i did spend many hours 10
3:14 am
years ago of these task force meetings, and i do recall changes were still made on that day, but i do see the value of having something before the last day in place. obviously a little tweaking if need be. i do feel we are very late in the game to do something as big as taking potrero hill out of district land. i feel as people felt strongly about it it should have been discussed more seriously early on, so i urge you refrain from doing that. i do appreciate the fact you have been sensitive about traditional communities as in restoring japantown in district 5, along with other important cultural components of district 5. i hope you can keep it or bring back the west side community
3:15 am
into district 5, where it really belongs. thank you. >> i will take future agenda items. i heard earlier this evening and we wanted to keep pretty similar to the agenda items we had this evening. are there any admissions -- additions? >> i would like to request that i would like to get some numbers, demographic information for the latino population in district 9 based on how it looks now compared to moving the boundary north to the freeway. >> if there are no other adaptations, we will adjourn,

3:24 am
my name is fredrik. i have lived in san francisco for 60 years. i would like to speak out in favor of this resolution. i've always thought a partner public health group used every -- could use every dollar it could get its hands on. even though it is only four thousand dollars, i guess that is better than nothing. in my opinion, the department of public health probably wastes more than $4,000 a day, so maybe this is a step in the right direction. since we're talking about quality control programs, i would like to take this opportunity to assess -- maybe we can get state funding for the overall quality control program for the department public health, especially for the general hospital. thank you. chairperson chu: thank you. >> ♪ one more
