furthermore, we have had the support of the neighborhood associations both in support and financially to help provide for our community. at time of event. i have done community outreach at the annual fair on lion street and have gotten to know members of the community. i feel very much a part of a consolidated district 5. i have presented at meetings and i am a member, too. i want to continue to build that community with the team we have been working with and i hope you would consider my views in this. thank you. chairman mcdonnell: thank you. folloiwnwing supervisors chiu

and avalos. president chiu: i want to know -- that you know that you have onrun a tremendous process in taking in the feedback and i know you look forward to april 15 coming. i do hope that all of you will continue to serve in other capacities in the city. there are a number of questions i have found -- been asked. whenever a set of decisions you come up with in the next few days i look forward to that and i think i speak on behalf all my colleagues that whatever decision you make we look forward to serving our constituents. there have been questions about where the russian hill line ought to sit. and you have heard a lot of testimony over the last couple of meetings from the russian hill neighborhood and neighbors

that their preference is the line remain where it is. recently there have been some proposals to shift more russian hill from district 32 district 2 and if that is where the committee wants to go, that is where the committee goes but i think a lot of russian hill interacts with the district 3 neighborhoods of north beach and the polk street corridor with the hill and share those communities of interest in common. district 3 as you know needs to grow and there is some questions about where it should. i want to let you know i think moving south toward either to the south of market area which involved communities that are close to the financial district, barbara coast, and golden gateway communities could make sense as could moving into the tender line area, the lower polk neighborhood as part of district 3 and very much shares the issues that parts of the

tenderloin have as well. the sro's that are part of the tenderloin area have a lot in common not just with the liverpool area but other sections of chinatown. growth southward i think would make a lot of sense given those communities of interest. thank you. >> city bombing. i want to echo the comments before me. i understand what this is like. i wanted to come specifically to thank you for putting this back in district two. presenting the dozens of people who have called an e-mail to my office, incredibly excited about it from the neighborhood. i hope you continue to keep it in district 2. in anticipation of the comments, if that goes back into district

5, district 1 will creep into district 2. i know there was discussions before and i wanted to share some thoughts in terms of core areas of district 2 i hope will remain if they jordan park is a core part of district 2. there was a discussion about the lake street corridor from arguello. that is a core part of district 2 in shares the same population with the rest of the district as well as a cliff and the core part of sea cliff. it has been an integral part of district 2 and i sincerely hope that we keep it that way. i want to thank you for your hard work along this time line and to echo what supervisor chiu said. we are all going to be excited to represent our constituents. >> tommy gallegos.

what is your name? euronext. this woman is first. -- you are next. ok. again, our next speakers >> you have heard from more than a dozen residents of the panhandle area north and south, east and west saying, please keep it all together. i myself live on oak street. i am very much aware of the issues that are on the north side of the panhandle. please do not destroy our neighborhood to make some other

neighborhood whole. and i would point out the 2600 or so that live in the north of panhandle west of masonic did not have a chance to do anything much that many of them did come tonight because you made these changes at 9:00 p.m. on monday night. very late in the process. there are a number of easy ways to solve this. it could work in district 2. this map points out the crosshatched area there. the vista is connected with district to through a kaiser hospital. no residential people on the connection there whereas there are residential connections with one. you can move back the four

blocks that you added at cathedral hill at 9:00 p.m. and monday night. that would move 2500 people. it could revert some of the lake st. changes. alternately, i suggest you consider the russian hill, a sea cliff, and the presidio for possibilities but the easiest ones are some of the changes you made monday. thank you. chairman mcdonnell: thank you. >> good evening. i have sat on the board for four years and have been a resident for 10. i want to encourage you to stick with that decision. there are many reasons, most of the neighbors are in overwhelming favor of keeping

the area in the-5. i will resonate the same tackling --comments. please note in doing all this the neighborhoods of district 1 and 2 did not participate because there were not interested in it. we have spent countless hours working with one supervisor and working with multiple supervisors, twice as much work and many meetings. we are strongly aligned with d5 and splitting us would make us a minority in voicing our opinions. our neighborhood is fragile. andou our advocacy is needed to

improve the area. this is a natural boundary that does not divide the community. if you want to go back to the street, our supervisor would no longer be in d5. this represents the voice of tell us neighbors, some of whom might have made it to me but many have not and on their behalf i deeply hope this singular voice we heard and the redistricting community will help us keep whole. chairman mcdonnell: thank you. >> hi, i am matt duffy, i am a 12 year district one resident. the current antics of district one will harm both neighborhoods -- antics of

district one will harm both neighborhoods. -- annex of district one will harm both neighborhoods. it will take areas -- all these neighborhoods share community of interest with the -- the make up the bulk of the district. throughout this process, the lines of district 1 were acceptable to the general public. it is, that's at the last -- it is odd that the last meeting, this change would have been acceptable. we're asking you to correct the most recent change and i want to thank you very much for your service. chairman mcdonnell: thank you. following, our next speakers. >> i am a resident in the portola district and i wanted to support your changes that you have made to make portola hold and to keep this in district 9.

thank you very much. chairman mcdonnell: thank you, sir. hold on one second. it is ms. gamez's turn. ms. gamez followed by our next speaker. -- speakers. >> i have been a frequent speaker here. i would like first to commend and thank you for unifying the northeast corridor of the mission all the way up to the freeway. that was a lovely and wonderful change for the mission to be unified there. i am less happy with the northwest corner being carved out. i understand that -- i do not know why that occurred. that would be something that

would be good to join back with the mission and once again, note the liberty hill neighborhood association is a very active group. it is a group that has gone to the trouble of being recognized as a historical district that requires a lot of community work, a lot of affiliations, a lot of hard work and is a place that would be quite easy to alter in this map. doing so would alleviate some of the overcrowding or overpopulation in district 9. the blocks along valencia are densely populated. you do not need to move much territory to move plenty of people. if doing that would get more unified with the corner, that would get a welcome. trade off and once again, i will know it the district, five has

gotten unified on the northern end on a block by block recognition of communities there. i would ask for that to be given also to the liberty hill area. thanks for much. -- very much. chairman mcdonnell: thank you. >> i am richard ivanhoe, the president of the haight-ashbury neighborhood council. and i also want to thank each of you for all your time and your work. i am going to focus on the northwest panhandle and on golden gate park. you have heard from many residents in the northern panhandle area. the bylaws which were adopted in

1960 have our northern boundary as fulton street and the greater haight-ashbury may have a lot of neighborhoods with a net -- within it but nopa it should be made whole. there is a few institutions i am aware of that have a connection to the haight in the few blocks on hayes street, within that area. there is mr. natural's is a studio, new traditions school, and sacred ground coffee house which has the longest running open mike poetry in the city. so again, keep northwest panhandle in district 5. as to golden gate park, i have

heard the district one supervisor said that golden gate park is too big for just one supervisor. you have spit mclaren park in two different districts. the district between -- connection between golden gate park and the haight ashbury is obvious as is the park police station and the park branch library. thank you. chairman mcdonnell: thank you, sir. >> good evening. i have -- i have been around for a long time, a member of the eastern neighborhoods task force, the cac, a dog patch for

years, potrero for years and worked very seriously and hard on mission bay as well as the ucsf campus. in the latest iteration -- i would like to point out mission bay is this big. the ucsf campus is exactly -- we're requesting that you move the southern boundary of six down to 16th street. it has absolutely no impact on population because there is no population. what we are suggesting is that ucsf's hospital as part of a community of interest. you have general hospital, there will be a kaiser clinic here,

and then you have the cfs -- ucsf hospital. we're working closely with our neighbors on mission creek. originally, they had three choices or three pecking order. number one was important to keep all of mission bay whole. no. -- number two, the bottom line is all the land use and height and bulk issues for mission bay have been completed. there is no more redevelopment agency. thank you. chairman mcdonnell: thank you, sir. >> hello and thank you for your work.

found out about this last night. my husband came home and said they're taking us out of district 5 and putting us in district 1, what does that mean? i have lived on clayton street for the past 33 years. in my place. we got together a group of us from the haight and bought this building because we bought what we could afford back then. we have worked in this neighborhood and on every single supervisors campaign to today, i am not sure who the supervisor is. i do want to urge you to keep that -- we did not identify with the richmond district. we do all our stopping on haight street. on divisadero. we go to the farmers' market there. we use the panhandle. my son was 23 and grew up in the panhandle when he was not home. also, my deed of trust says this is the western addition.

is not the richmond. it was called the haight, now we're cold -- called nopa. it is crazy to be part of district 1. i ask you to consider that 15- block neighborhood as part of district 5. thank you. chairman mcdonnell: thank you. denise, sally ross, mark caswell, and ou next spea -- or next speaker. >> earlier the gentleman came up and said it would be a good idea to keep the transbay terminal area in district 6 and the benefits would help the tenderloin. i do not think there is anything that chewing up and established neighborhood in the tenderloin could offset that. i would like to disabuse you of the notion or maybe it is abuse.

i would like to abuse you or maybe i want to just want to use you. we started out witgh 4140. we're down to 8%. it is still a high number. we were looking for that one block between post and gary -- geary. that will bring it down. to get down to 5%, we tried to get below five that is possible. if we're asking for too much. the block beyond that bordered by shannon and jones and post and geary. that would bring it under 5%. there of the neighborhoods they have managed to preserve

completely. that is it. chairman mcdonnell: thank you, sir. >> good evening, commissioners. thank you for your work in -- and efforts to date and thank you overwhelmingly for listening to the west 20 council. although the improvement association adds this map, hopefully it will be adopted this evening. it is divided into three districts, 5, 8, and 7. the important piece of that has always been twin peaks boulevard which we believe is the eastern boundary based on your criteria of geography and communities of interest. that is an appropriate district as is and map you have before you represents that. i really also want to thank and

i saw the name for the first time. the advancement project, the nonprofit organization who provided the map for people like us the work, that could not get there every night, but we could look the next morning and there was a map on line. not only are transparency and work and listening to neighborhoods and respecting neighborhoods and landscape 27 scope, your a bet -- the availability of information from your clerk call your office, somebody picked up the phone. our supervisor still picks up the phone but others do not. the redistricting has forced them to pick up the phone and the answer your question the next day. thank you for your accessibility and accountability. please support the map before you. >> are there the names on lists over there que?

chairman mcdonnell: are there others wishing to offer public comment who have not signed up? the remaining names i have after ms. ross, mark caswell, and other speakers. is there anyone else? wishing to speak who has not signed a. >> ok. >> good evening. i would like to thank the task force for their forbearance. you're hearing from me yet again. i live in district 8. when i've spoken to before i have urged youtube keep the west side of district 8 at," street and i see it has been moved over now. that is disappointing. that removes or rather key

element. the sunnyside conservatory from district 8. our supervisors from district 8 have historically been very helpful with the conservatory. bevan dufty was in office and was really helpful. supervisor wiener had just this morning a problem we're having landed on his desk and he said -- they said are you in district 8 and we said yes we are. that is where the boundaries were pounding -- standing. they changed after your last meeting. the area that is no. -- the areas that are in the area that has been moved over and included in sunnyside. the area from baden street west

is oriented toward glen park and the community. they have supported the developments and changes. i really think they deserve to stay in that area while all these projects are going on. thank you very much. chairman mcdonnell: thank you, ma'am. >> hello, commissioners. i am a resident on masonic avenue at fulton. the next point between district 5 and district 1. i want to thank you for your time. you have been through many of these meetings and i appreciate you hearing that. i announce that the theoretical concept of where we are making these lines, they're mostly along traffic's errors and high- speed activities. whether it is lincoln boulevard,

19th avenue bay shore, a masonic avenue which is where i live, we to know what these lines, and they're dividing communities and i acknowledge that. let's not get knocked -- walk into that. sonic avenue has a project that will improve safety for people and people like myself who would love to sit in front room and your car crashes and rory trafford. if we're dividing our communities on these really horrible sewers will live on, it would not require two supervisors to approve the committee. i am urging you to include all the north of panhandle area. use a line that would be not usable. if you say, district 5 goes all the way to golden gate park and into the border, that -- i would

rather see masonic itself with support from district 1 and district 2. i want to make sure we are not letting these horrible scars throughout their neighborhood. let's use that to build better streets and better communities and bring people together rather than divide them. thank you for your time. >> good evening. i am here to speak for my professor. he is a man who lives in district 1. he sent me here today because he does not want them handling the -- district 1. the asian population is not going to have their voice in district 1. that is it.

>> thank you. >> you're welcome. chairman mcdonnell: the last two named trade is there anyone else to offer public comment tonight? >> the evening. -- good evening. i am resident of district 5 and i am here to echo the comments previously with respect to keeping the area in district 5. is the committee's interest and i think this last-minute change was televised. thank you. chairman mcdonnell: thank you very much. >> good evening. i am a candidate for district 5 supervisor. i hear that the current lines of moving -- i should be here

thinking of for that but instead, i am looking at the bigger picture. the north has worked really hard to make changes in the neighborhood. we have experienced a huge drop in crime and quality of life that has brought a lot of people together. we have great restaurants, we have a great community, we have a number of people who are actively involved and making a difference. i notice that one of the things in the list of factors to take into consideration are recognizing geographical boundaries, keeping distinct neighborhoods is one of the things tree that is one of the goals of this task force. spot in this neighborhood, it does not take that into consideration. i am here to ask that that be taken into consideration and especially with one more meeting left to go. i know
