with a intention that was adapted as described in the management plan the proposed district will be approximately covering 3 hundred and 7 identified parcels on 22 partial blocks at the conclusion of the public hearing we'll tabulate this and report to the board of supervisors members of the public may review the tabulation on the base at city hall the statement of the district if there's a majority protest the public testimony will hear if all speakers in support of the assessment districts 2 minutes per person and all speakers in opposition to the seams during the hearing a property owner

wishing to thank e change their vote can speak to a person outside the chamber and after the hearing closes the ballots will be counted. at this point, i want to say supervisor kim and i share some blocks within the community district i want to say a few quick words i've been supportive of the districts throughout our district 3 and this particular benefit has been in conversation for the better part of 10 years. lower polk is a difference and wonderful neighborhood in my district and district 6 but on the parts of polk has faced quality of life issues and vacant storefronts and homelessness and other conditions that have challenged

the neighborhoods. there's almost no green and small business in the neighborhood and very few places for folks to come together there's been a lot of momentum to pull the folks together this reflects the culmination of those last year the main polk neighborhood of the year i know it as a hope of many residents the demonstration of a c having did will be appreciated >> supervisor kim. >> i'll save my thanks but happy this is moving forward and i'm happy about a couple of things for district 6 skaerth park has been added as a parcel within the binder to help to clean the areas around the children's backgrounds and want to make sure those families are able to use it so it's a safe

and clean area and second glad the service plan is heavily wgd towards youth and happy to partner with them. we were not able to get everything we wanted to see in this district in the future we're hoping there will be an expansion after we're able to showcase and the project in this area like a mc and transmit turn over and other changes in this part of the neighborhood we're able to expand into the future as we are able to convince property owner forces the success of the lower cv d. i represent many districts central market and north of market and others. i just have to say i had mixture

feeling but taking the public service into the private realm but the cvs have been an advantage and the creativity that is community driven by small business and residents bring a layer of personal warmth to developing our neighborhoods identified throughout district 6 and, of course, looking for the public comment arrest let's go to the public hearing i'd like to hear from the public that supports the district each member will have 2 minutes and hear if the district first supporters. please step forward >> sir. in terms of training practice

for our younger stare and the united states and for young people they have a good academy with structure for example, for me we offer proof and meditation internal practice in a good system not everything else where in society. so big something so simple a group system procedure for meditation see. internal knowledge how they have achievement and external how do we train someone to know how to do holy mercy. and inner changes.

see. you have also a place for them to be to go back and have some resolution for they're doing everyday. you want the plans careful plans for the parkway like the mission see. mission four quarter everyday. require is a good doesn't structure. i i don't have a good physical structure everyday it depended on good consciences for this for better cultivation for the internal and meditation >> thank you. next speaker. >> hi supervisors i'm jamie i'm the social director for the

market use services a member of the committee and live on sutter in the neighborhood we've been working with shell thomas who passed away and getting people into the city and properties within the community to be part of the solution and not part of the problem we supported the art walks and done graffiti abatement and seeing this joining the committee to further ingrain the people in larkin street and expend their experience to be better neighbors we strongly support this cv d and hope you move forward. >> thank you. good afternoon. i'm joshua community outreach health working and living in the 16

timing and mission district i'm a 23 year residents. so the cv d is particularly good what we're seeing at 16 and mission they're doing the community ambassador program as a bar district it's critically useful and will help the hot teams we can be out there longer hours security is tremendously expensive but the community outreach workers are not as expensive. also i find that in having a cv d we're not only having a security but agencies and there would be an agent that could move forward with the project

and not a loss as so often with the neighborhood districts if someone gets interested in what their could go they can only do it for 6 months and then the information doorways. i think this is just so key to have we have a strong neighborhood association but there are many things i think a cv d could specifically do that would take us favorite. thank you very much >> next speaker. >> hi i kim letter a resident over 11 years in the lower polk neighborhood and part of the association. and i strongly support the cv d. >> hi my name is ron case.

i feel like we are running a marathon and, see the finish line hopefully we'll get a little bit further. 12 years ago i was part of the founding members to try to improve this area for safety and beautification and security. the most of the years we've gotten a few grants and move a couple steps forward and get knocked back a step. we're doing a lot for our organization we want to be inclusive of everyone in the neighborhood and monetary reasons was not part of being part of our group. we looked at a number of years ago we looked at how to be self-sustaining in keeping things moving in a good

direction. it came down to the cv d being the best option many people worked hard on this and trying to be inclusive with everyone in the neighborhood that is very important. and where we're back to where we were a number of years ago so i highly support it thank you. thank you, mr. case >> next speaker >> president chiu and supervisors i'm laura are long time resident and a small business owner and i'm on the steering community at the benefits district. i'm here to express my strong support for the cv d moving forward thank you. >> next speaker >> hello, i'm carolyn i've been a resident and business owner

and a past resident of the lower pomp neighboring neighbors we're proud because 95 percent of the buildings in lover polk have under rent control nobody is displaced by the cleanlessness and beauty. we also know that security gates on businesses and glass are threatening only something like the cv d can replace the glass it is so expensive we can get low cost loans and so many things that a small volunteer no money but heartfelt organization like lower polk can do i look forward to this thank you >> next speaker >> i'm andrew i'm the chair of the lower polk neighborhood

association. i'm very proud to be here with two former chairs mr. ron case and president chiu so and thank them for their work. i'm here in support of the community district and a resident on sutter street as well. what strikes me since i've moved into this neighborhood 4 years ago the process establishing the community district really upped the ante in involvement with people tenants and business owners and, of course, larkin has been extremely supportive i feel like it represents a community grassroots driven endeavor.

bottom line lower polk neighbors is very excited about working hand to hand hopefully with the community district board to continue our goals for a safer cleaner and more beautiful neighborhood thank you very much. thank you. next speaker. . >> president chiu i supervisor kim i'm batter thomas my brother shell pass away last month it's been my honor to visit our city i come from texas and spent time in the military and seen parts of europe especially like san francisco that have renewed themselves i see the quality of life in the people. i realize that sometimes, people need money and help to infuse

wish to speak in support of the district. >> hi, i'm larry i live in the tenderloin we're talking about the lower polk of main which is definitely as unification starts there's a lot of racial tension and fights but the lower polk used to be the old castro it was a navy peer and that's when they moved all the gaze to what used to be the black and career area. but this was also the area where people of all there was a place called mr. boo ganlz where blacks and gaze and straits went there and associated that's a

international place now we call it the industrial peacock you're looking for straight or gay or young girl or boy it's a international place that area should be a place for san francisco should know its culture and history as a native of san francisco percent of natives it's a place that needs to be remain historically connected to all generations. and polk street is a good place and it's right down here in near city hall which is dr. carter be good it's part of that it's renamed after the greatest dr. in the state our honorable mayor

d don't find it would act with usefulness we're able to maintain your building and sidewalks and we're fine doing so in the future. this is an expense we couldn't afford and we've hired someone that lives in the neighborhood on the block to help us maintain the sprrp sidewalks a couple of times a week so that's what we're comfortable with if we're part of the cv d we couldn't continue to pay him that's unfortunate. also i have two object to the business model of the cv d it appears to be a model where the city services are prioritized organized organization. and i think a better solution is

to hire city employees to actually perform those services >> thank you any public comment on that item on the opposition of the formation of the cv d okay. seeing none i'd like to make a couple of concluding remarks and acknowledge one of our staff i want to thank the public who engaged and we'll find out the results there were a tremendous amount of vision and work that's gone into a period that lasted over a decade in particular ron and the other for their energy and vision and hundreds of volunteer hours over the years. i also want to thank other leaders within the neighborhood from chris to andrew and others
