maps and the boundaries up on the website so quickly. and lastly i would like to thank any fellow council members who came to testify so passionately but respectfully for their neighborhoods in district 11. so far we have only lost population in those areas we all agreed to sacrifice to keep district 11 whole. it is an honor to serve with them on the council and to have them as friends. thank you, and one last please, don't make any further changes to district 11. >> thank you, ma'am. yes, mrs. brown? >> hi, my name is marzel brown and i work with central city collaborative. and today i'm here on the behalf of the bristol hotel. which is located on 56 mason. mike nolty has showed you the little map area of where we want

to stay. it is very, very small as you can see this little section right here. that's what we need to keep in district six. so if you guys will help us out, and remap that, it will be a great deal to us and the tenants in the bristol hotel that we deal with on a daily basis. thank you again for your time and your preparations and you guys do a wonderful job. keep up the good work. >> thank you. >> following mrs. scott will be shelby, lisa shin, pierre and natalie brown. >> good morning task force. my name is lois scott, and i live by cathedral, i live on

cathedral hill by st. mary's cathedral about two and a half blocks from the proposed hospital site. i'm on the board of the cathedral hill neighbors who were dispointed that our neighborhood who was going to be reunited in your quest and necessity to have the numbers come out was still split. i guess we joined russia hill as one of those neighborhoods that will be permanently split. we're some what of an emerging neighborhood association, that we've only been in existence about half a dozen years, not as long as some of the other neighborhoods in san francisco. we have a huge, huge issue coming up on the construction of the cathedral hill campus of the hospital.

555 beds, a huge impact on our neighborhood. that particular block we urgently request you put that back in district five. it has no population and as a future hospital it will have no population. it is so much more related to the western addition than the marina in district two. we are the immediate neighbors of that facility so we implore you to make a final tweak, no population involved to reinclude, repatriate the hospital site. >> thank you, ma'am. i'm sure i'm killing these names, my apologies.

>> ok, today i've come with show and tell. i'm not going to talk for too long. again, like many of you, everybody here who has been at these meetings recognizes that this has been just a fabulous process and we're really, really pleased with it. we're so happy you helped us by putting our boreders to herman so we can have our merchants and neighbors join us in district five. this is a no population request that we're that is 55 laguna be part of district five. it is in our neighborhood, it effects us, we want for the folks who live in to it be able to be fought for by the supervisor of that district. what i'm doing today in the show and tell is just showing you the murriel we've done as a

community. this was 100% done with love and talent and energy and no money by the community to try to make a better lower. this is one of our artists. this is another artist, you may recognize, urs la young. she's going to be redoing this piece if you want to watch on monday. another famous artist david chung lee who does absolutely gorgeous work. he's actually on 6th and this is the famous silly pink bunny. jeremy fish, who is the pink bunny, 20 years, 1991-2011. he was living in that neighborhood, becoming a famous art nist the lower part and did this all for free. to give you a sense of the size of this, we had a celebration where we celebrated the murriel

and you can see the district supervisor in the back. that's a big ass bunny you're looking at there . i just want to say if you can possibly change your minds and realize this does belong there, i would really appreciate it. thank you. >> thank you so much. >> hello, my name is lisa shin. i'm a resident and small business owner, also active with lower hayden neighborhood merchant association. opened up a business about a year ago and have been really impressed with the neighborhood effort. it's really a unique neighborhood and the demographic we serve, i think it's one -- we all feel like the underdogs to small neighborhood, but you know i've seen the work that the board has put forth, specifically with 55 laguna.

and i think for, you know to have a neighborhood that's focused on the issues at hand, you know, we want to keep that intact. i understand there are always political reasons, and issues of why orders get drawn a certain way. i think we just ask that there's a rational justification for all the decisions that are made. you know, you can't really tell people what neighborhood belong to. they feel a sense of belonging to, you know, the community that they're close to, that they frequent, so we just are looking to keep that intact and we appreciate your work, thank you. >> thank you. >> good morning, i'm a merchant on the lower street association. i just want to say it is probable as you all well know, very bad crime ridden, we had a lot of issues. we worked hard, very hard to

make it a better neighborhood. the issue here today is about 55 laguna. we would really like that in district five. it is part as it stands. it really is. and we've cleaned up everything, the neighborhood, in hopes that guys will see that. this particular property with this perfectly. it would be such an asset to our community. it would also enhance all parts of the community. all these other areas are doing very, very well. we've had very little crime since the last four or five years. it's been just a great place to live and a great place to be. so i really appreciate your assistance in this endeavor. thank you very much. >> thank you, sir.

>> i do not see valley. moving on. >> good morning. i am peter strauss from the lower haight and district 5 and district 8. it looks like i will be staying in district 8. we have reached the bottom of the night. i am. -- i am sure it feels more like the bottom of the 54th. baseball analogies aside, there are a bunch of us here to make one last pitch. in 55 laguna into district 5. we have talked about community and compromise. we have gusty to recognize haight is the spine of the

community and should not be treated as a border. we appreciate what you have done in the commercial destroyed by moving the boundary down. the closest to a win win would be able to split the property. i understand that is beyond your purview because it involves changing precinct boundaries. it may be that is the direction we need to go. most of us would be willing to work with supervisor wiener to achieve the closest to a win- win, but we may not be in to do that at this time. i urge you to establish the baseline at the most logical and consistent place with their review your purview. we believe that would be to establish 55 laguna as part of district 5. thank you.

>> thank you, sir. >> i am steve courier from district 11. everything in this ever hart said -- miss eberdardt said, ditto. thank you. on tuesday night, we flyered census block 2008. i did get some phone calls thanking us. it is good that they are happy and i am happy. i want to thank you for this process. >> hello, everybody. i am a lower haight street merchant. i have been there 25 years. i have a record shop. the police and merchant

association has done so much to make our world better. we're all anticipating 55 laguna opening up. i just assumed it was part of our district anyway. i did not know until all of this came around. we need that to be part of our corridor. we have worked to make it safe and keep an eye on it and have customers from that world coming to us. thank you for your attention on that. >> thank you, sir. >> clinton womack. tony, olga, and tommy. >> i am both a resident of the panhandle neighborhood and also serve on the neighborhood association board. i would like to express our gratitude for being incorporated into district 5.

i am hoping after the final lines are drawn today that the eastern and western span of the panhandle will remain in district 5. thank you for your work on that and accommodating our resident'' wishes. i would like to second the comments by bruno. i have been very involved with the event planning and community activism. it has been central to the neighbor works out of there. i would want to make sure moving forward the boundary stays at turk and the boundary south of there still stays in district 5. thank you. >> good morning. >> you are next. >> my fault. >> no worries. >> my name is tony robles with

senior action network in district 6. i have worked with the filipino community as part of the heritage foundation. the tenderloin area has been a starting point for many filipino immigrants and their families historically. they have gone through a lot, the community, with three development, the high cost of living, removal, displacement. a lot of our folks are elders who have been forced to relocate to other parts of the city and bay area. at the same time, we have many community centers that our elders and youth frequent and use. we have the country's only filipino bilingual school. we have health centers, parks, churches with filipino residents and their families. we still have a concern about

the recent move to push the border north to 13th street. is higher than the previously proposed 15th street northern border, which was in the map as recently as april 4. it is higher than the community unity map version with the district 9 border at 16th street. it is important to filipino community stays unified and has a voice politically. [tone!] our people come out for community matters. they want to be involved. we urge you move the northern border of district 92 least 15th street and extended from valencia to harrison street. i cannot convey to you enough how important is that the filipino community stay together. we bear the brunt of a lot in the city in terms of policy

development. [tone!] we want to make sure our voices are unified and heard. thank you very much. >> thank you, sir. >> my apologies again for stepping in. my name is dan doat from the bayview district, a resident there for many years in district 10. i am here representing the baby merchants association. of interest to the merchants associations and other organizations along with the recycling water task force occurring along the waterfront. i am here to speak in support of an alignment on your map, a move from the northern boundary of mariposa street to 16th street.

we recognize in redistricting as in life, no one gets 100%. you have recognized a great deal of support for including the larger mission bay in district 10. that has now significantly changed. many believe moving the border to 16th street supports workers in mission bay in a much stronger way. advocacy of the ucsf campus is strengthened by dividing the area with the border at 16th street. the northern border with the 16th. the southern border would be at sixth street east of seventh. [tone!] again, advocacy is strengthened in the areas where two districts are supporting the overall mission the campus. thank you for all of the hard-

working and done in support of district 10. i appreciate you have retained a view -- bay view and others together. you have kept portal whole. your wisdom speaks volumes. [tone!] thank you. >> thank you. yes, ma'am. >> oh, can you? ok. >> my name is olga. my house is on grove street. we strongly oppose the move to district 1 from district 5. we just learned about it last tuesday. it is just because some good soul put a fire in our mailbox.

-- flier in our mailbox. we have been in the northern panhandle community for a long time. we would like to remain. it is a strong community. we have a lot of students using the panhandle playground. we have block parties for the entire community. we're clearly separated from district 1 geographically by the hill, usf, and the hospital. we did not have a chance to voice our opinions of all. -- at all. we have a proposal we mailed you last night to use a different block instead of hours. there is new housing in that block. they are all property

homeowners. we, on the other hand, are a block of very old buildings with a healthy mix of homeowners and renters. [tone!] i think it would be a shame if we move out of the established community. thank you. >> thank you, ma'am. tommy gallegos. >> i am a resident here to support your map the way it is drawn in the portola district and ask that you made no changes. thank you very much. >> howard cheng. i need the other list, please.

thank you so much. again, if you are wishing to offer public comments, we want to make sure you have signed in. hopefully everyone here has. the last name on the list is robert rusky. if you have not signed in, please do so and indicate you wish to offer public comment. we will hear from christopher bowman, mary briscoe. thank you. [tone!] >> it is on 30 seconds right

now. i am chris bowen. i have kind of lost my voice. it has been a pleasure to come to the hearings except for two in los angeles. i did and all nine your -- nighter. i wanted to do an analysis of the plan, what you have accomplished, and where you need to go. i would like to say you are about 40% there. [laughter] there are 24 neighborhoods. i am really tired. 24 neighborhoods, communities of interest on institutions -- communities of interest, institutions divided in the redistricting. you have new united -- united nine of them and put five very close together.

you can make five additional moves very easily that will not create ripple effects and unite by more neighborhoods. showplace square starting at 16th street, move into district 6. i know commissioner pilpel will appreciate it because it is a straight line for 16 blocks. but the 803 people in the southern part of the financial district into 3. [tone!] that will allow you with the surplus population to reunite the tenderloin. also, the campus of usf. there is one block at the top of clarendon with 35 people. they are not contiguous to

district 5 but you put in there when you unified -- [tone!] parnassas haights. i hope you will put that back into district 7. thank you. >> my name is mary helen briscoe. i want to thank you for all the hard work on a difficult task. i want to thank you for restoring part of district 5, where i live, along the panhandle, to continue to be part of district 5. thank you very much for that. i am here today because of another isolated block. it is the block bordered by

hayes and cole. it is the left hand arrow. it is surrounded on the west by st. mary's hospital, on the north by usf. this neighborhood has been beset by these institutions. there also isolated from district -- they are also isolated from district 1. our neighborhood group was formed to fight the encouragement of these institutions that did nothing for our neighborhood. the people on this block were involved in the fight and other struggles we have to keep our neighborhood intact. [tone!] please do not remove an integral part of our neighborhood. do not isolate this block.

please restore this to district 5. thank you very much. >> thank you, ma'am. >> good morning, everybody. lisa spinalli, president of the sunny side neighborhood association. thank you for making our community intact in district 7. a promise to make sure we're good democratic participants and work hard on communication to make sure we do a good job as members of district 7. i want to offer to you that when richard goldman spoke earlier, he showed you this map. there is one block under question shared between glen park and sunnyside. district 8 would like to have one box. this block right here is one

that could go to district 8. i wanted to make that available to you. our goal is to make sure we do this as cleanly as possible respecting every neighborhood association. thank you very much. >> following mr. buckner will be tess and brad, gilliam, brianna, and joe. >> good morning. i am tab buckner from district by. thank you for restoring most of the precincts we discussed. i do ask that you adopt the proposal mentioned about bringing back to district 5 4002.

it is just one block north of the panhandle and has been very much a part of the community for many years. in turn, give to district 1 census block 2006. it is north of fulton and mostly new developments with people who do not have the history that people further south do. as a member of the lgbt community, i need to reiterate that a lot of us do not live in district 8. a consisteconsistently the disci have had with people is that district 5 is the appropriate place that will integrate and improve -- include 55 laguna. i urge you to heed the advice of others and put 55 laguna back into district 5. >> thank you, sir. yes.

is that someone going to buy as lunch? pizza. when phones go off and introduced -- interrupt proceedings, they are subject to pizza attacks. >> it feels like a commission. you have been committed. we all have been committed. [laughter] thank you for your work. thank you for your sensitivity throughout the mapping process and looking at different parts of san francisco. what i found myself thinking reflecting is that you are a good example of how ordinary san franciscans can do extraordinary work in a challenging situation. work in a challenging situation. you are not getting p
