support keeping the triangle in the park station at this time. we've had a lot of property crime. we had a violent death in november. and we have had in the last year a constant escalation of this trust really in the community in feeling like we were very vulnerable to crime. park station heard that cry from the community and has done everything that they possibly could and has been on the street and have gotten to know the neighborhood i think much better even recently. i think keeping the continuity with park station in terms of the perception of the community
12:31 am
and the community feeling safe as opposed to now switching to northern station. we just got a new captain. at park station with which the community is getting familiar with. i think the perception of people feeling safe in the neighborhood on the streets is very important and i'd ask you to keep us with park. >> presidentthank you... is there any further public comment on the adoption of the redistricting maps? good evening. >> testifier: i think since the triangle is, then northern, and that it would help reduce crime and because they removed them to northern would hope that area become: as you say and reduce crime. he shouldn't run away from something that the cities are addressing a
12:32 am
certain portion away that it's just another person that i don't think people should get privileged to be were they think it feels safer could all leave areas should be treated equally and just because you feel that one areas, then does me run away and throw it under the rug. i think should be put in northern inhibits the same positive affect the less common area as you say. >> president:: any thank you. any public comment on the spanner? is bresnan. >> testifier: good evening commissioners. i'm jackie -- like i was half out of i sport redistricting. it needs to happen. it's going to happen and i appreciate all the work and the time that any effort everybody's put into this. i once again am calling for a dedicated time for revisiting this and seeing how it works.
12:33 am
not waiting 10 more years. i'm thinking 6 months down the line to see whether the calming effect is taking place within the community is being served as opposed to served up are happy with the changes, whether the officers are happy with the changes. i still want more put patrol on 6th street. thank you. >> president: thank you. any further public comment on the spanner? hearing none, public comment is now closed. colleagues. we'll start with commissioner kazuko >> commissioner bazooka: our thing everyone cannot do this. i want to thank the controller's office for the work they put into this. they could guess documents and evidence and a sweet quest for statistics and calls for service. or think the police bauman and she put all the captains who participated it i want to thank commissioner who
12:34 am
really let us through this process. the sum of best committee meetings we've ever had. i tell you the commission is very engaged in this the many many different meetings. but again your leadership was exceptional on this. i really want to thank the community. i have to tell you from my career on this please commission never seen anything like what i saw come from a tenderloin in our meetings in the tenant. the participation from the people in the tenderloin. which is i think michael commissioners been on for what we were shot by those meetings of everybody that's come here an incredibly diverse crowd with diverse interests i think" to the tenderloin because a lot of what you see her tonight be something about for his result of what they've heard from those people that live and work in the tenderloin. again, i think it's exceptional and thank you for what you've done. this is incredible and i would love 1st make the tenderloin one of the safest neighborhoods in this a good investor who undergo the priest was i've
12:35 am
share some things that were said about the drug dealers in the tempered i sat quietly we [inaudible] [inaudible] sandra goes on out there open-air drug market and guess what i know the been arrested because i've seen them being arrested for child work and one that's what's happening on the other. you are in the tunnel and i'm sorry you have to go through the. this is one step in the process of getting it done. thank you for what you do. >> president: thank you. commissioner wong >> commissioner, echo the thanks. particular the controller's office has been up to listen to a lot of public comment. i've a question for the cheap in terms of the switch around to --. i use one of the new park station were folks who work there if it had him put on the drivability? is this going to work in terms of that switch?
12:36 am
>> clerk:: the party got more than half of what we're talking about really the only change for station is that they pick up that very very tiny little sliver. so that the calls for service that's been suggested as wooded as that's a change from the original proposed state line but it's so gauche it's basically have to what we're suggesting you 30 have more than half. >> commissioner: operation additional difference? >> clerk: not think there is a michelin to: pat at one of the early means when the goals of this bus was try to balance out the cat and cable calls so the stations would have a better balanced number of calls. i think that teresa concerns he might park station was little but lower than the other stations. so it seems to me to make sense to move the triangle to that of balance it out. i think that will serve the
12:37 am
station better as well and to the poster cannot tonight, were well represented by supervisors was called on your behalf as well. >> president: commissioner dejesus >> commissioner dejesus: i echo it's pretty much everyone assumed i would say thank you to the controller's office for listening to his. once it was and concerns raised by this commission to have a district map put together without community input but it seemed to work out really well. going into the community especially the tenderloin was all thoughtful concerns. there offers suggestions that assisted us the realistic suggestions. and hope to see how we could move the line and make it more accessible or more available to that community. as one of think that apartment for meeting what they said. they put the map together but the map is just a suggestion
12:38 am
pointed and that it was something to work off of and could be moved. i think tonight's figures showed that are able to move these lines that works for the apartment and works for the community. i do want to thank commissioner and all the fellow commissioners who showed up and met with committee members and took phone calls and participated in the process. i'm looking at the statistics on options 6 and i agree with the chief got there pretty negligible and it looks like certainly it's doable and i think the committee needs to that. so i would support option 6. >> president: thank you. vp -- >> commissioner: i just cannot echo the comments. what was most important to me the calls for service and the cat and cable be evened out. it is more about dedicating resources to the particular area. it seems
12:39 am
that moves make sense. in the -- triangle area. i think it's a good balance. it also meets with the community is asking for. i would be in favor of that. i also wanted to say commissioner loftis has spent a lot of time on this. she called me at 6:00 am a lot to talk about some of the issues did i want to tell everyone that she cares very deeply about this process. the controller's office has been amazing the consultants were amazing and thanks so much to the department for taking our many many concerns and asking for them to revise and rewrite the lines. so many times. so thanks for that. [inaudible]
12:40 am
>> president: thank you to my colleagues in the controller's office appears like i was a married software suite 7 said earlier time where is the love. there is a law. i did love means a lot of things but through this process i think so many people love their neighborhoods. and love in a lot of ways which is what i love about the police are doing this when i don't love and i think what looks like tony when the falling short. so the process is very instructive. in a way, really good time to be in so many different neighborhoods get in hearing from folks not just about redistricting but about what was happening. so i'm incredibly grateful for everybody's input and i think the tenderloin in particular just wantedtthe seriousness with which the collaborative took the process they stun does the bidding of the map the 1st time around. so really engaged. it taught me a lesson about how civic engagement can work and what's possible together in partnership. because the recover my cenote was completely priest but at the end of the day i think that apartment the commission and
12:41 am
the committee members met ido i saw each other where they were. i think it's been a be a very instructive process for us to go through as we look ahead at all the challenges we have before us. so, >> commissioner just one more comment. i think ms. price is right-we to look at how things are command arrested out of 6 months is going to be township may possibly a year but i think we do need to talk about revisiting and seeing what are the results of our work here. >> president: -- >> commissioner: i just want to echo what everybody has said. i want to say, because was said tonight that the commission should go to the community that the community shouldn't have to come here. to this process would we work and every committee that was going to change. i think people need to understand that and realize that their voice could have been heard during those community meetings. the commission has
12:42 am
gone to the community. i'm so grateful that tenderloin set the standard for having what, almost 200-300 people did it was wonderful because their voice was heard. so, i want to add my comments by saying put a motion on the floor for the commission to accept options 6. >> president2nd okay. inspector monroe i think we need to roll call. >>[roll call vote]
12:43 am
>> clerk: the motion passes. 6-0. [applause] >> president: the gentleman from the post office but i think i'm going to embrace. i was set up and caught on camera thank you guys so much. thank you everyone. we have a new district map. i believe the next steps are it will take 30-45 days to make that change. the we party department so -- perspective please call xm >> clerk: line item 4. public comment on all matters pertaining to item 8 below closes should including public comment on vote whether to hold item 6 -- in closed session.
12:44 am
>> president: colleagues we have a chance to -- site members of the public the matters that would handle them in closed session so that any public comment on the factor will go into closed session at this point. >> clerk: >> testifier: i think these matters need to be in open session at point blank. i sat that altering soul seen the performance the public employees and that you statement and how the commission board [inaudible] i think the public needs to hear that what's left of the public. item be is very critical and senior police officers should return to duty. that is something that throughout the turmoil of the last couple months the police shootings of unarmed but an empty shootings of unarmed people in people dying under custody that a lot of people have said officers should be
12:45 am
on leave without pay or officers should be on some sort of leave and noxious dust jobs so i think this should be public for that reason. >> president: thank you. any further public on? the rule is, there certain governmental code sections and privileges which prevent us from having to discuss these matters in open session. any further public comment. hearing none, public comment is now closed. do i have a vote on whether or not to go into closed session? 2nd? all those in favor say, aye. opposed, nay. the motion passes. we are in closed session.this would level motion

12:49 am
plaids orn this committee for the status of women commission, [inaudible], a little bit about my background and what i would like to do on the commission, i moved to san francisco in 1997, i don't have the privilege of being a native but it is my chosen home as an adult, i took a vacation here, i don't know why anybody would want to live anywhere else and i still feel like that to this day. i worked on one of my passions which is women in leadership, i'm from the women's political committee, iem former board meeting of the chapter of noral, others saturday in andreas kitchen and we created an idea of a merge and i know there's several graduate ts of that problem. i had the honor to elect our first female d.a. in san francisco and our first female ag when we first elected my
12:50 am
boss camela harris, the time i served at the d.a. aos office with her, we worked on legislation that would codify human traffic ining the california penal code, it had to be prosecuted as [inaudible] for proper data collection, still leads to funding and restitution for victims. we also worked very hard to change the semantics around teenage prostitution to exploited youth and we increased the prison time for the johns, i served on president obama's staff in 2008 and traveler around the knotty *f ri from 18 months going from battle ground to battle ground to ensure his election. i've worked at the gap, a company as we know is founded here in san francisco, was
12:51 am
co-founded by a women, was the first retailer to raise the minimum wage, so i'm delighted to join the regional family in this capacity, i had the opportunity to sit down with the regional director emily morasi earlier this week on how my experiences can contribute to the commission and i had my opportunity to serve on my first commission yesterday which i enjoyed. i believe i can help the commission bridge policies and programs that we want fo see with the private sector in san francisco, now having been at the gap for the past four years and having served the rest of my career in public service, i would like to see our private sector engage more with the xhiltion and with this body as well and the supervisors to increase their engagement. at gap, i think we have some opportunity to talk about the equal pay ordinance and task force which i know the equal bay advisory board that met for the first time last week, i hope we can learn some key
12:52 am
learnings there. my years nr the d.a.'s office educated me with domestic violence, first responder, the appropriate data collection and i would like to work with the members of the supervisors e on these. vice chair tang, i know you've been a champion of antihuman trafficker work, i appreciated your time, we talked about that this morning, imd like to continue working on that with combating that massage parlours and supervisor cohen, i know you worked closely with the commission to have on-site staffing with antiviolence, so i would like to continue working with you on that work, i like to work with close collaboration with you, i know this is the strongest commission of status of women

12:54 am
opportunity to talk this morning that often it's not easy for the private sector company tos know how to plug in and to help but i think they there will be much more of an opportunity for partnership and i think that's where i can really hopefully add some leadership to that. >> is there any other work outside of partnering with the private sector and bringing them in you've done a tremendous amount of work in on the ground in ethnic and low-income community, i don't know of any work that you haven't done. >> thank you, supervisor. >> i would like to hear maybe some policy ideas that you might have that you could champion with your fellow commissioners. >> well, supervisor tang and i had a chance to talk this morning one about a potential mentor ship program that we could laufrnl with the private side, i'm looking to leverage
