2:00 pm
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.
2:01 pm
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.
2:02 pm
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
2:03 pm
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
2:04 pm
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
2:05 pm
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
2:06 pm
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.
2:07 pm
>> 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
2:08 pm
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
2:09 pm
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
2:10 pm
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
2:11 pm
not have this kind of feedback from the community, and i know this is the last day for recommending changes, but i want to put it on the table but the decision we make is going to affect the community, so i want this to be more thoughtful, and they think out our decisions. i do not want us to be tied to our decisions. i want us to be open and flexible as we near the deadline. i just wanted to comment on what we earlier stated. >> today is the last date for decisions. we are still open to public commentary did you have
2:12 pm
perspective? >> one is in terms of where we are in the process, i agree with a couple of my colleagues who have said we should be open- minded but we should take the possibility seriously. i agree we have been on a track that depends on the placement of the neighborhood, but i do not think we have run out of time to consider another option, so i think we should think that through, and the last meeting may be coming on the last opportunity to entertain proposals like that and all the dominoes that would fall, but i
2:13 pm
do want to say what i heard was quite makeixed. i did not hear a preponderance of feedback that clearly signals support for placement in district 10 or in district 9. i know there were several comments made, and i appreciate that, but i also appreciate other comments as well. that was my interpretation of the comments we heard tonight on the placement. i think i agree with most of the comments that have been made that if we are going to draw it into a large degree, we are
2:14 pm
better signaling our thoughts and saving that for our next meeting, and if we want to do that for all sorts of changes, i think that might be useful. i do think anticipating the next couple meetings, we should expect to have fairly lengthy mapping sessions. we do not have much time left. we agreed we should have an interim deadline to settle before the 14th so we can concentrate on finishing the report. >> given the comments from task force members, i would propose that we hold off this evening,
2:15 pm
but discussing areas for consideration, and we will focus on on the drawing for next week. since our deliberations, we have not had discussions or conversations, so this may be the opportunity to begin with the road map is going to look like in the final weeks as far as consideration as well as some of the difficult decisions but will have to be made in the coming weeks, so if i do not hear any objections, i will open it up to task force members to raise where our particular areas they want to discuss or inquiries for our consultants. >> i have a couple. one would be splitting the
2:16 pm
2:17 pm
i share the concerns of trying to balance the city a little bit more, so looking assett d1 and 2 and seeing what we can do over there. go>> one concern is that one through five are way over and that six, nine, 10, and 11 are way over, and have seemed to back words. half -- that seems backwards. i am still interested in ways to move populations.
2:18 pm
we have not come to consensus on ways to do abouthat, but that cn be a priority. the area, that is not the way i would approach it, but that seems to be a way of the world. i think the map and we have now is mostly done, and we will have a further conversation on our final report and how we allow minority opinions to be expressed, but i think the decision is to keep the poor vulnerable region -- to keep the
2:19 pm
portal whole. to undo the out icing causes major issues on the east side -- to run do that, i think causes major issues on the east side, and i'm supportive of making that change. i am interested in the proposal on the line between 8 and 5. also a thing there was some consensus between the realtors month to move some of buckner --
2:20 pm
some of the ashbery heights area from 8 to 5. i think that helps. the little section between six and eight continues to bother me, and i think there's a little play there. i was going to ask if you have some other stocks -- fthoughts on that particular thing. i am not an especially comfortable with the district for section, but that thoughts t this time. >> other members? >> ok, i had a couple of things.
2:21 pm
i thought it would be a good idea to look at the possibility of moving two blocks north of district five of the cathedral hill neighborhood association. i continue to wonder about, again, being reinstated and one of the comments received this time around. it has to do with more uncommon district two. i want to please ask you to really think about district 9.
2:22 pm
people in the community thought that the meeting that we had at the horsemen was the meeting that we were holding for the mission and as when they gave their input to bring the community together up to the freeway. i'm one of the people that said no and i continue to feel that it doesn't belong there. those people are divided by the freeway and don't want to be connected to the mission. i am really concerned about that. i am not going to give up on that until the end. >> this is really helpful, but the way, to hear what is on everyone's mind. one thing that a sort of a new thought, and to some extent,
2:23 pm
maybe a little bit of a reversal of some work we did last week. i am the sinbad and our current working draft, the jimmy that is going -- i am noticing that in our current working draft, the chimney that is going is a slight overpopulation because we moved about during -- or the boundary, that is one thought. in the general area, i believe we move a meeting we had a while ago to the southern border of district 5.
2:24 pm
2:25 pm
it could be cascaded throughout one, too, and three. i appreciate that some of the members of the public sought some feedback from other community members. i share the concerns that it is a small block of geography -- the blocks that are in the northeast section of district 8, this is right across from the freeway. the blocks that are sort of southwest of the 101, south of market, you can see a cut out into the area that is west of valencia street. ok, yes.
2:26 pm
i think that's the park. that area, i wonder if it could be moved into district 8. that is a possibility i am wondering about. in terms of district 6, limit a couple of adjustments, one of which was to move of boundary. i did not support that at the time. we don't want to upset the apple cart. we have the mission bay area that we think is divided. and i think it would be worth it, i would like to examine that again.
2:27 pm
2:28 pm
2:29 pm
>> if i can point out, with respect to the district 7 population, if we move the northern boundary back up, it would offset the quite a bit, i believe. >> can we see between them? >> maybe you can overlay the current air to. >> the blue light is the current boundaries. the red highlighted area is 2265 people. that will bring the deviation of district 7 to 1.01%.
