year scholarship to the academy of art. i can't say enough about her, she's passionate and she must be reappointed to the graffiti advisory board. thank you for your time. >> julie >> good afternoon, supervisors, julie su, i currently sit on the commission on the status of women and i am here to speak in support of rebecca delgado rottman on her reappointment to the graffiti advisory committee. she was the first philipino appointed in san francisco and while we have short memories she was on the democratic committee in early 2000. she takes a community approach. she's been part of the violence -- anti-violence against women advocacy as well and much as we see with the anti-violence council where it takes a

holistic approach, the community coming together with different agencies , we were able to combat homicides related to domestic violence for 44 months. and this kind of graffiti abatement takes a community approach as well and she's been a great mentor to all the students and to get them engaged, as you recognize the academy of art university has a lot of international students, it's important to get them engaged to really understand how our country works and the importance of community involvement, also reaching out to the younger students to have respect of other people's property and also to reach out to those students who might think of art as a career. i hope you give due consideration, you have seen all the great support for her, she is a wonderful community leader, rebecca delgado rottman ?oo ?a any other public comments on this matter? seeing none, supervisor campos,

supervisor tang >> well, very impressive group of candidates and i want to thank both miss ross and miss rottman for their service, this is a very important entity that oversees what happens with graffiti which is a big problem in all neighborhoods. the only problem, miss rottman, i don't know if you had enough people testifying on your behalf today. that said, it is my pleasure to move that we move this forward to the committee. >> i have never seen a group so excited to talk about graffiti before but i see jim castille from dpw as well as mr. stinger. i think all of
