morning upheld the republicans suit and that district was struck down very late in the process. the vote was 5 to 4. not 63 which i find interesting in itself but they're using six members devote together so when you get to wherever it is that you get your news from, you might want to check it out because it's part of the redistricting that's going on all over the country. with that i have nothing else mister clerk and i believe we can proceed to roll call. >> when you areyour name indicate you are present, jeremy lee .

thank you mister chair. members ofthe task force, members of the public . welcome to the task force. today is our district specific meetingfor district 11 . columbus open tier of the city. before we your public comment i want to explain or take this opportunity toexplain what this process is and what we're looking for .so question one, themost basic question what is redistricting ? 11 supervisor districts for its 11 members of the board of supervisors. redistricting is a process of changing those districtlines . after every united states census which happens in years ending zero so we just had one

. and we are using the data from the 20/20 census to balance the population of our 11 supervisor districts. and redistricting is is this opportunity gives us the opportunity to bring the districts that we have into compliance with redistricting as set forth in law and constitution. something that we're going to say now and repeat throughout thisprocess and we're going to repeat throughout our meeting . the drafts have been drawn by this task force. again, we have not drawn or released any draft maps. for the first time, the redistricting task force has not released, created or drawn any draft maps. any maps currently in circulation right now are drawn

bymembers of the public . they are not drawn us. so what are the criteria for redistricting . first and foremost people population. that's mandated by the supreme court and the united states of californiaconstitution. according to our , to these rules district, according to city law districts must be one present unless they respect federal law or neighborhoods and communities in which the boundaries must be within plus or -5percent . of the mean. districts must be complied with the federal voting rights act which addresses minorities. districts must recognize neighborhoods and communities

of interest which we will discuss in abit . they must be continuous and districts must also be intact . we also recognize neighborhoods for communities of interest, these are generally based on official data for example the planning department. they could be submitted by members of the public as well and neighborhoods don't have to be of =. they very in size and disposition depending on different members of the publi . communities are generally a population of residents, a groupof residents that share a common interest . some are inherentin name and these interests are social and economic , and people describe them these needs of interest that could be included in a single district forpurposes of

fair representation . the community interests point as we abbreviate are defined by those familiar with these communities. the law doesn't limit the kinds of interests that bind these communities and it's up to those who live in and work with the community to identify and establish themselves. these interests don't need to be limited to what they arenow. they can change due to current situations if there are common goals , where they're going but there is one limit, this isn't a free for all. they do not include relationships with political parties or political candidates. so please be mindful when describing your community of interest . examples of common interest. they include common employment

or economic opportunity or sometimes the lack of employment oreconomic opportunity . common goals such as development, job creation, it can include social interests, goals, culture, transportation, parks, housing and also other goals related interests but increasing recreational opportunities forpublic safety . things likehistoric preservation . stuff like that. so as you'remaking your comment today tell us about your community of interest . what ties you to that together? what common interest does your community of interest share? what are the boundaries of this community of interest, where arethey on the map ? after all we are drawing lines on amap . we would like to know the boundaries.

if the districts are the same or similar, to do areas around your community. why should they be in one district ? why is it a problem for us if we end up splitting your community or creating another community? in addition to offering your comments here today at this meeting you can also go on to our website and offer your input about your unity of interest in writing at our website oryou can scan the qr code here . on the bottom right corner. we are welcoming district input today, today is district 11. we are going arounddistricts , going around 11 districts to get their input. very district specific input.

we want people to provide feedback about one district or the whole map but for this ite where concentrating on district 11 . please let the redistricting task force know how you would like the districts to be drawn. in this case district 11. offer comments about what you would like to change about the current district as a whole . what do you like or not like about how they are currently drawn andwhat should change ? on our website we have a mapping tool. it is free to use. it's available to the public and we have been receiving several map suggestions from that and we welcome your input. it allows members of the public to drawtheir own district, you

can draw on one district or drawn all 11 . youcould draw your communities of interest to . proposals to all mapping tools will be submitted to us, the redistricting task force for consideration and we will take all submissions and consider all of them and take allof them under advisement . a mapping tool includes geography and data for any area in san francisco so demographic data and it will include population data and the website and a link to that mapping tool can be found here. redraw public redistricting.com. again, it's redraw my sf public and redistricting.com. and with that we look forward toyour input . thank you. >> thank you. mister lee.

>> thank you all for being here. ishould note it looks like we have 46 listeners and at this time there are 13 members of the public who wish toprovide public comment . the curse will have three minutes of peace and if we could connect us to that first color . >> good evening. my name is doctor wilhelmina sims and i grew up on sedona street and continue to live in

district 11, now living on allison street. i have adult children and found district 11 not only afforded me to be near churches, libraries and schools, playgrounds and a grocery store, italso afforded my children the same .i asked that district 11 remain intact especially since we only have -4 percent loss in residents. thank you again. >> thank you forproviding your comments, could i have the next caller please ? >>. >> caller: myname is albert ellis from the delicate filipino american our commission , regarding organizers of the filipino festivalat the year of the buena gardens and many other filipino and asian cultural events . i'm also a board member of the cow palace andi serve as commissioner of the san francisco entertainment commission . i'm a 42 year resident of the excelsior and am a proud

graduate of ottawa high school and its jrotc program here to advocate for the community of interest in district 11. many of you might not know that the filipino community has a long history of displacement and being negatively impacted by urban renewal and redevelopment of san francisco from the 1977 midnight forcible eviction of filipino residents out of the historic international hotel and displacement of 4000 filipino families to make way for the redevelopment of moscone he convention center in the year of the buena complex two decades later. since the early 70s filipino families found refuge in the excelsior, mission terrace, st. mary's park, crocker amazon and surrounding neighborhoods. they moved out of the city core for a house and yard to raise theirfamilies , improve their future and put down roots here

living side-by-side and in harmony withour chinese latin african-american and multiracial neighbors . i ask this commission to please keep the filipino community together by bringing the entire mission terrace st. mary's park neighborhood andstreet residents . these are precincts number 7874 9901, 7943 and 9801 located at the northern border. for your reference i have emailed a filipino ancestry map showing the concentration of filipino residents in district 11 and i also submitted a map highlighting the 23 resilient filipino businesses along mission corridor in the excelsior as far as post office, markets, parks tools and transportation houses that are crucial to the daily lives

of 12,000 filipino residents there. thank you commissioners for keeping the filipino community intact and preserving district 11 as the most diverse district in san francisco . >>could we have the next caller please . >> good afternoon commissioners. myname is david huber and i've lived in mission terrace the last 35 years although i was born and raised in the mission . i would like to make it real. what i see the problem is is that somehow the city has to make adjustments as reverend townsend has pointed out it's going to be difficult for some communities of interest if there's too much change. what i would ask for district 11 which is presently four percent below the necessary average is that we change and we turn to the boundaries that were in place prior to the last

redistricting. this would bring us to even. we would be even and if we do this, then the changes further into the center of the city especially at district 6 will be less painful. specifically, between ocean, holloway, ashton and harold street, the idea would be to return district 11 to an ocean avenue frontage. so that the communities would be reunited as of late with the churches they attend and with the stores they patronize. atpresent , the idea of dislocating district 11 from ocean avenue at an accommodation that had to be made 10 years ago under redistricting has dislocated a community of interest. my years working with district

11 counsel has told me how important it is to maintain a presence on a commercial street in order to have maximum influence and have in this case to supervisors who would be working hard for both communities. additionally, that portion of district 8 that is south of freeway to 80 between 280 allegheny, kingly and part of the mission viaduct would give the commission an opportunity to return this area to district 11. this area of course is one of the areas in the city that was most affected bythe sewer plumbing that we are trying to address . if, i also like to say there's a strong community of interest with these communities and the neighborhoods that existed before and could be reestablished.

if we were able to do this and return to ourformer borders for the district , that would make the rotation less difficult with minimal effect for the communities while you work on the big puzzle of district 6. thank you very much. >> thank you misterhooper for sharing your comments, could we have the next caller ? >> caller: hi, thank you. >>. [speaking spanish]

>>. [speaking chinese] >> caller: members of the task force, my name is mannas. i live in district 11. i have lived in district 11 for almost 20 years and what i want to express today is that might district being rezoned or redistricting again because we just want to vote in district 11.

we do not to bewhat to be rezoned again because once it's been changed it will mess up . so we are opposed to any changes on my district. thank you. >> thank you agnesfor interpreting those comments. could we have the next caller please ? >> good evening members of the redistricting task force. my name is josi churchill, chairman of the board at the filipino american chamber of commerce. established in 1974, the chamber as it was in 1974 and as it is now was formed to promote the economic development of the filipino american community in san francisco. our members consist of small groups ofbusinesses representing those industries . the chamber has a network of entrepreneurs, and officials within the san francisco bay area nationally and abroad.

we have a collaborative approach working with a coalition of like-minded stakeholders who pursue a better san francisco. there are over 12,000 filipino residents which comprise 17 percent of the population in district 11 and is the largest concentration of filipinos in all ofsan francisco . there are filipino homes and businesses and it's a big part of michigan avenue.i'll ask you to protect and preserve the filipino community in district 11 and also include district 943, 9801 and asbury street area precinct 24 which represents their engagement and representation of their neighbors. thank you for your consideration.

>> thank you for sharing your comments, could we have the next caller ? >> my name is mary harris, president of o 90 neighbors in action and a 40 year resident of the omi ingleside. i'm calling to voice my support for the redrawing of district 11 maps as recommended by christopher bowman and the district 11 advocates 11. they both are submittingmaps . this would restore most of the 2002 maps because the 2012 map marginalized omi. it's best we keep neighborhoods intact including neighborhood nonprofits, neighborhood organizations and moicc.

i'd like to advocate for district 11 to be reunited in the northern half to ashton and ocean avenue. we believe this would benefit the ocean avenue corridor with two advocates working together for our cultural and community corridors and it would reunite the ingleside presbyterian church which is largely african-american with community members in omi lakeview area. we've fought hard to rebuild oceanview library and the rec center. we fought to get testing for vaccines at bookman and testing at food district region two. where working hard with our asian neighbors to provide

resources and food pantries as needed.please help keep our communities together. we have very little income in districts with seven terraces. we are largely working-class andunion households . please restore us back to the 2002 maps as much as possible. thank you for your consideration, your time and commitment . i appreciate you all.>> thank you mary harris, could wehave the next caller please ? >> caller: my name is aleta fisher and i'm a member of the omi community collaborative and i am the proud parents of 4 children indistrict 11. my oldest is at city college and a graduate of mission high school . i have two students at mission high school and one at sanford middle school in our community.

i'm calling to advocate for the redrawing of district 11 to include the southern border of ocean avenue and many previous colors have stated that includes part of precinct 9747. all of precinct 9749 and also precinct 9801, the mission terrace northern border. my children are all african-american and in moving into this district, we found a strongcommunity . and even though this community now lies in two separate districts, it's been amazing to be welcomed and included and the power of community participation and collaboration that could happen as it did back in 2002 when the boards

were redrawn to have the communities be ableto work together politically as well as neighbors . it is important and necessary so thank you for your consideration. >> could we have the next callerplease . >> caller: my name is deanna wernick and in 2000 when i was 13 my mom a single parent ingleside or omi district after they were evicted from the other sunset. my parents live there now and it isa strong working class community . many do not know agency 11, not the six that has the largest proportion of residents and largest concentration of filipinos in san francisco. i am asking you to keep the filipino community together in the 11.this is including

mission terrace, and possibly street area into the 11. the mission corridor alone is where a significant number of filipino businesses and the oriental market and many others are located. if you've never tried filipino food i encourage you to check out thesebusinesses and restaurants. the filipino community has a long history of being displace numerous times in san francisco allow us to keep our roots in this district . please keep the filipino community intactand we are looking forward to your support . thankyou so much . >> thank you forproviding your comments, could we have the next caller please ? >> my name is fran marino lack . i have lived in the omi for 7 and a half years. i'm calling to ask that the borders of district 11 b redrawn to includeocean avenue,

harold and ashton .i know i have much more in common with my neighbors who happened to live on the rocks in between hollow and ocean. then i do with the people on the other side of the ocean. and i also know that my church and other churches got cut off because of the boundary being redrawn at holloway. i would like to ask that that boundary be drawn back on ocean avenue from harold to ashton so that it includes district 11's most important businesses and churches as well as its neighbors who have more in common with me. iq. >> could we have the next callerplease ? >> my name is chriscorliss and i live on in the executive district . thank you for taking our call. i don't agree with a lot of the

previous commenters to go back towards ocean avenue but at no point should cross into westwoodpark . there is a big demographic and economic difference between the currentdistrict 11 which as you've heard is predominantly working-class middle income folks in union households . i agree with the gentleman louis alvarez as well as folks on the filipino communities indicated st. mark mercy spark bosworth and i agree with mary harris and david huber who broughtup the law section of the 11 back into it . that would do the job and i willbe submitting themap online which again thank you for your time and service . >> could we have the next caller please ? >> good evening. my name is stephen kolodny career. resident of district 11. and just for your information i

was cofounder and past president of the our mission residents association. for almost 18 years and i'm so glad that i found david huber and mary harris. i think he said he's the president also of thedistrict 11 counsel . district 11 counsel was created in 2000 to bring a nonpolitical view in communities together that are in district 11 because we are so contiguous. i agree witheverything mary harris said and i agree with everything david huber said . we would like to make district 11 as whole as we possibly can as itwas in 2002. we work hard to be that community . one of the things that i heard at the district nine or 10 meeting was visitation

sunnydale. we don't have a community with them and they are more into the district 10 and the university is more into district 9. so bring us back together and the other thing too is the community in the southernmost portion of geneva could be brought back into this district 11. they were put indistrict 10 and i have no idea why. it just did not make sense . but i do want to say thatchris bowman was mentioned . we have been working with him inputting the maps of district 11 together and it works for us. if that's where we came from back in 2002 and back in 2001

2002 we had to go to the board of supervisors to remove the vital side of district 11 because those islands are nowhere near or contiguous to district 11. thank you so much. i'm so happy that we're having this meeting of district 11 residents and thank you for listening to us. >> thank you very much stephen for all your comments. could we have the next caller please? >> caller: my name is melinda and i'm a resident of district 11. i live in altamonte street and i've been in the district over 20 years. my concern andarea of interest is different from the other colors . it's mclean park rather than

adding anything i'd like to suggest you take under consideration the fact that this park is in 3 to 6, nine, 10 and 11. it has served us very well. if these lines change in any way i would suggest the committee be deeply aware of where mclaren park touches the residential community that their body up to because the people who live next to the park prefer to have representations by one of the supervisors . us having three supervisors has been very beneficial. we had a coalition of the supervisors when they're issued . with park safety, with park changes. been able to go to three supervisors. we've been able to have the chance for more funding for our park. please when you draw the line

mclaren park doesn't add a single residents but it does change communities of interest . if possible the district nine, 10 and 11 would otherwise continue to represent mclaren park. wedon't care where the lines are . just that the neighborhoods contiguous to them should be represented for the park. thank you very much. >> could we havethe next caller please ? >> is there a caller on the line?this. >> caller: i'm on the webx. director of the filipino community center where i've been for 17 years now.

we opened in2004 and served a large number of filipinos in district 11 . there's anywhere from 12 to 15,000 filipinos in the neighborhood it's probably an undercount. we work on the census in 2010 and 2020 to make sure our communities counted and with all of our undocumented community members and be in law unitsthroughout the district , we know where under comment but there's still a large community of interest there together with the working-class union and immigrant households about district 11. latino, black communities, chinese and asian american and other pacificislanders who are proud to be part of that and in large conversation in district 11 . we want to make sure our community remains intact, that the filipino community along the mission corridor all the way up to the top of the 11 is kept intact. the excelsior and our mission portions of the 11 but i agree

withthe othercommenters . of holloway is important all the way up to ocean . we know that our neighborhood households that need to remain at together as much as possible to keep thosecommunities together in district 11 . we are below as others mentioned so going back to the 2010 district lines would help to ensure that communities of interest including filipino communities remain intact . there are several businesses, community servingorganizations . my daughter goes to balboa highs full. my nieces and nephews go to longfellow and sf community school throughoutthe neighborhood. keeping the 11 intact , not putting anything out of it and going back to the previous borders that would go north of mission and also included we heard the triangle was cut out in the filipino community and

effects are numbers there so we look forward to continuing to work with the taskforce and appreciate your work . we want to make sure the filipino andimmigrants in the 11 remain intact . >> thank you for providing your comments. before we go to the next caller i want to mention we do still have six or so callers who wish to be recognized on the district 11boundaries and communities of interest . if you wish to speak on this item and you've not had an opportunity let us know and you can do so by calling 415-655-0001 . and then you enter the meeting id, today's meeting idis 2484 377 3167 . press the pound symbol twice to connect to the meeting and press star followed by the number three if you wish to be entered into the queue to speak or if you are connected already

you can raise your hand and i will addyou to that queueof people . are here to provide public comments on the agenda item to . district of the 11 areas of interest. could you connect us to our next caller ? go ahead. >> caller: my name is elaine velasquez and i worked at the filipino communitycenter in district 11 . i'm i've been working serving district 11 for 14 years and my children go to school in district 11. i'm here to show share a little bit about the filipino community of san francisco. many of whom are found in districts across the neighborhood, our mission and other amazon. their homes are a very diverse working-class multi language immigrant and union proud households of which filipinos are very much proud to be part of.

in the past district 11 has been cut up and divided and previous redistricting efforts have divided the filipino community here. many filipino businesses and restaurants are among the mission corridor. their markets and churches that serve the filipino community and they're all found in district 11. where a filipino language pathway, it's one of the only two schools in the district that were provided. south of brotherhood, back to omi to connect community that's been provided. ialso report the recommendations outlined earlier . so please help us keep the filipino community togetherin district 11. keep our community intact . the filipino community has been

pushed further and further south of the center of san francisco and district 11 has been, continues to be our home and we continue to advocate for our place in district 11 and essentiallyour place in san francisco . one last thing that we hope to see his multiple options of districtmaps . so that our community can be engaged and it can help elicit specificfeedback from our community . we can see where the borders can be or how our neighborhood can be divided. thank you so much for your time today. thank you for listening to our concerns. >> thank youelaine for providing your comments. could we have the next caller please ? >>. >> caller: i work in district 11. i'm advocating district 11 should remain multiethnic and

multilingual district . with diverse communities, the chinese communities throughout the district but filipino committee that has been well presented on these calls. and the last and next committee as well. we recommend district 11 is one of the last multi generational multiethnic communities that are working-class that seem to still be accessible toour communities and it's important to accept that . i'm also educating that we've rejoined the parts of the district that have been divided into redistricting efforts . most of them have been mentioned already but just to remind you and refresh your memory, to recover parts that were lost in the last redistricting. it's working-class property owners of color also are south of 280.

reconnect the triangle back into the omi. reconnecting communities that have been separated and also reconnect part of district 11. i heard you again to keep our communities together. it's important to protect one of thelast fronts that we have in the city that is accessible to our community . >> thank you somuch, could we have the next caller please ? >> caller: esteemedmembers of the redistricting task force. thank you for the work you're doing . it's tough. i know it's thankless but it's essential and it's one of the highest forms of public service. you'redoing somethingincredible for all san franciscans . i'm chuck overmyer . i don't live in the 11, but

i've been very closely following the process. i'm speaking today to advocate in favor of keeping thefilipino coi whole . i know the many meetings so far of the task force members have spoken to the important necessity of ensuring that african-american residents of san francisco are represented and that historically and currently marginalized communities are going to have maps that ensure fair and equal representation. in the same way many african-americanresidents of san francisco have been priced out and gentrified , many callers have spoken to the very deep similarities for the

filipino community in san francisco. i'm not sure if exactly what happened in the 11 last time but clearly, moving the section between ocean holloway avenue out of the 11, was an oversigh . an issue that needs to be rectified to the this community not just the filipino community but other communities as well whole. additionally, ensuring that the sections of mission terrace, the baltimore street area and st. mary's park are capital in the 11 is truly essential. another note on process. i don't task force members have spoken repeatedly to the top calls of balancing often times competing coi. i would say in thisprocess , many times in many processes across our government, folks have rules against and decided

against filipino american community and this is the real big make or break moment where a city choose whether or not we value the filipino community and whether or not we really are committed to be the ideals that we talk about.ideally this process of the republic citizen oriented redistricting with each cycle, we get better and better. but hopefully we can work to ensure that our city, its institutionalmemory we are learning and doing more equitable and fair and decent jobs . >> i'm sorry you off. every speaker has to retain their three minutes but once we reach three minutes we cut you off. next caller please.

>> honorable task force members,fellow members of the public , this is it. the big dance for those of us atthe 11 . i am representing district 11. i'm staying here and i will raise children in this neighborhood with blood and. i am fighting for our neighborhoods as we have very distinct and recognizable communities of interest. over the past couple of months we've spoken on redistricting as it relates to district 11 and we been on the roller coasterthat is the redistricting process that you're taking charge of today . in addition i've covered these important proposals as i was fortunate enough to write an op-ed for the ingleside wife and the proposal to have the 11. two harold avenue, ocean avenue. two heads are better than one

andit would benefit us to have two great supervisors serving the ocean corridor . in this area we have minority communities, black, chinese, filipino and the blue-collar bread and butterthat makes up the greater whole of district 11 . we're advocating for the reunification of the 11 from ashton north of the ocean. we've also heard from our brothers and sisters in the filipino community and now we probably partner with them and asked the areas of mission terrace, bosworth and st. mary's parkthe included and not to separate the filipino community from the greater whole . in closing we are asking finally that be 11 precincts 112-7874 7943, 9749, 9801 and 9901. bless you all for your hard work and a sincere thank you from us to you for this hard but important job.

have a good night. >> thank you for sharing your comments, we have next caller please ? >> caller: my name is jalal tentatively and i'm president of the other merchant residents group. i wanted to put my support into the filipino community and also the other areas of interest especially those on ocean avenue, the frontage towards ashton. i wanted to rejoin the part of cuyahoga that's now currently in district 9 to half district 8, have that resort back to district 11 and i'd like to support the proposal by brenda like kaiser interms of dividing mclaren park into three separate , and remain in three separate supervisor districts . nine, 10 and 11. that has worked for the community in terms of getting people that are in those neighborhoods to be able to have interests from their

current supervisor to be able to push forward park provisions and making sure that the park is a vibrant space so thank you for your time. >> could we have thenext caller please ? >> caller: my name is john, formersupervisor for district 11 . i've lived here since 1999 and i want to associate myself with the almost entirely of the comments that have been made but also say that district 11 over the past 10 years the population has generally not changed very much. as it groaned very much. it's been pretty stable and we have major population changes over the rest of the city especially in district 6 parts of district 10 as well and it makes sense as we're redrawing

districts across the city that we focus first on where the population haschanged the most , where the city has become more dense. those are the districts that need to change and it allows the six are further off from where that population changes happening to rayretain their former district boundaries . in the past district 11 has been the place where there's been sights set on certain parts ofthe district like the area south of ocean avenue . east of ashton and west of herald and north ofholloway to go to district 7 . that was because we had a population where it was taken but in addition to that there were other areas of district 11 that were removed and put into other districts like the northern part of mission terrace moved to district 8 and to get to district 8 you had to go to district 7 or district 9 usually but notfrom this neighborhood . also the area south of geneva

by carter street, that area that stephen talked about. that was formerly in district 11 was a random way. it doesn't make any sense that we leave our district to make random decisions thatdivide our community . the greatest change that happened was the change of the omi. the omi is the home of the labor households, working-class households, black tea, chinese, filipino and that removal of the northern part of holloway will divide the black community most of all. this is a community that has a long-standing homeownership commitment toeducation system had a lot of city workers have lived here the black community . would be a shame that we can keep them there and also the people who been utilized in the ocean avenue corridor, the church of latin america is a

long there were not even able to have that in the same district and it makes a lot of sense . you heard the consensus that district 11 would cover this boundary and we hope you didn't include that in your decision-making to restore district 11 to its former size and population boundary and thank you for this hard work that you are doing. you're not going to make anyone happy across the city but given the changes that have happened everywhere else you can certainly makethem happy in district 11 . >> thank you john, sorry to cut you off but as with allspeakers we have to keep our comments within three minutes . next caller please . >> caller: good evening, barbarafugate , neighborhood association for cayuga. we'd like to go on record as supporting the comments david huber and mary harris have made just about everyone else.

we want our community back the way it was before it got messed up the last time theydid this redistricting . you have the opportunity to makea lot of people in this district veryhappy . >> barbaraq gate thank you for offering your comments . next: please . >> caller: can youhear me okay ? david philpell and if i could get a 32ndwarning. really good meeting, my maps are on this docket for this item tonight . i believe i'm not going to make any changes tonight. the omi have not been well represented in the city and other districts i suggested minor moderate changes. i am much more radical in districts seven,eight , nine and 11.

the letter is not the same as district 16 and i 280 is a wall between districts .so i would have a strict 11 be mostly south of i2 80 and west of 101 except for sunnydale and mission valley. this would put the portal at in district 11 along with the excelsior and our mission including new mission terrace. all of it. as a result the omi area between holloway and i to edie wouldshift to district 7 . i hope people were sitting down for that. i recognize these changes would have considerable effect and the impact may be too much for many in the community. well, reasonable people can disagree andthere are lots of different ways to slice and dice this . i think the current structure exit unnecessarily week and i

would like to see district 11 be stronger so that the southern part of the city is not an afterthought like somehow part of san mateo county but in fact is a essential part of san francisco which deserves strong representation. some may see eye to me as connecting district 11 both on the west and east sides ofthe freeway . idon't . i see this in street and silver avenue as good connections. so i propose my end. it deserves my ideas my map is on page 24 of the packet. thank youfor listening . >>. >> evening, my name is charlie shepard. i've worked in district 11 for

more than 15years . i've raised three kids here in publicschools including balboa high school . we are an incredibly diverse district where more than 80 percent are people of color and 50 percent are immigrants. that makes it a gateway for minors from all over the world and it is also a place where generations offamilies . there are so many languages spoken in district 11 and that makes it beautiful to try and chat with many of our neighbors whether it be speakers of chinese, filipino, among others but then we build community together.but the district is overwhelmingly working-class and many of us live in intergenerational household with ourparents . and in this district we face many common challenges including access to affordable housing, need for strong public transit and economic supports for the many essential and service sector workers who continue to be vulnerable

throughout the pandemic. district 11 can and should remain multiethnic, multi generational and multilingual district made up of divers working-class communities so that includes the black communities in the chinese communities throughout the district, filipino communities around mission street andomi. latino communities over on mission street . as well as working-class property owners and children. district 11 has been cut up and divided and we want to keep our neighborhood and unity soul. that means protecting neighborhoods like the omi and recovery areas lost in the last process such as the area north of all away. in order to keep the g area geographically connected, reconnecting northern mission terrace and its working-class property along pale got south of 280back into district 11 . reconnecting the merced tribal back into the omi, reconnecting filipino communities that have

been separated and reconnectin areas where the excelsior come together that were previously part of district 11 . i heard the task force to present multiple options of district maps at the upcoming meeting to helpfacilitate conversation and get more feedback from community members . showing that options will help people get specific. thank you for your consideration and thank you for your hard work. >> thank you for sharing your comments. before we hear from the next caller, i should engine we still have five listeners and at this time there are three colors remaining in the queue who wish to provide public comment on this discussion and the district 11boundaries neighborhoods and communities of interest . if you have not yet spoken on this topic but you wish to be recognized as partof this publiccomment period you should call us . the phone number is 415-655-0001 . the meeting id for today's meeting is 2484 377 3167.

[inaudible] >> hello everyone. >> can you hear me okay? great. so hello task force members, madam clerk and governor residents. my name is evelyn torres and today i will be providing a brief report for outreach and will take notes afterwards. i'm going to go ahead and start. this is a very brief detail of our still. residents know that we can also

connect directly to questions or anything that has to do with thewebsite and so forth . so overall, our digital outreach does consist of citywide males. we received emails from task force members, we receive them from the website and all of these are uploaded to our maps. we also view individual emails which we hope members of the community can see and these emails and lists are created with the help of the task forc . we have a biweekly ... we have a biweekly meeting where we provide a list of tv shows in

san francisco andspecifically in that district 11 . we offered to make sure there's no prior implementation and we also want to make sure that if you are an organization in the district that is coming up that you can reach out as well. and so with our individual emails, we do three rounds of them. i'm sure there's community organizers out there with more but we reach out to folks, the likelihood increases that we will be able to reach them. so we do three rounds. first initially we do two weeks before and we follow up with an email as well and we also provide the call in and webx number. a lot of organizations have

included our flyers in their newsletters as well as sharing within their networks. and just to give you kind of a senseof how many emails we send . in february we have eight meetings and so we will extend 400 individual emails to ceos in san francisco. those are all reflective of how the district is covered. i'd also like to share that we do have, we do share all our information, all our work with the task force members as much as we can and really appreciate your input so we do have biweekly meetings with task force members and they provide

feedback. they getto look and approve any organizations that we reach out to . we share any content that goes out to the task force as well. we also provide very in-depth everything that's been done throughthe week . any conversation and any confusion or feedback that we may hear folks through email and any communications that the task force members have heard. up to and including these meetings as well. and i just for presentation, if you would like to make any comments or have any suggestions or questions about the redistricting task force it can be very helpful to send an email to our dts at sfgov.org. those emails are forwarded to

us and someone is always checking that email to makesure that we follow up as well . let me take a look.we have four emails, one per week and we go ahead and also share any updates so as some of you know, we had circling around a staff sheet and we now have that she in spanish. the chinese and philippine. all right. i'd like to try to provide some updates on this meeting that we've had up till now. as we look forward to the upcoming meetings, we have started individual emails and email blasts to district 1, district for district organizations. and it will continue outreach

for district 10 and also 11 and district 8 organizations as well. we have been fact sheet into different versions.you can have individual sheet for compile all languages into one pdf. it's something that is now i believe that into the agenda. and so folks can also find that there. that we will also have it on the email blast which you can definitely sign up for and it's an attachment so you can share it on your own as well. and actually i just like to give out a brief update to our fact sheets. this is a really great way to pinpoint folks and have allowed them to create their own idea of what the community of interest is. we go over what is redistricting, why does redistricting matter. who will draw these new district boundaries as well as

what is a community of interest and why is it important and how can we define our communities of interest? we give some examples like personal testimony, community issuesand boundary maps .this is all in language for folks who can go ahead and use that. i also noticed that now you will also all have access to outreach calendars so the numbers have outreach calendars which you can go ahead and indicate where targeted redistricting is being spent, when there being sent, any communication that was we add to their also to the additional reminders that weoffer the day before . i would notice now that gone ahead and then added to the agenda, the public does not have access to that as well.

there has been one addition to the email blast with the recommendation of madam clerk we've gone ahead and included individual links for spanish, chinese, filipino and english to direct you to the agenda so now you don'thave to click click on the agenda and find the language .you'll have the ability to just click on the link. and so far in the outreach as i mentioned we arereceiving hundreds of organizations . hundreds of organizations, on a weekly basis and overall 23 organizations have contacted us back. at least 10 have gone ahead and forwarded orannounced it in their own newsletter or in

their own meetings . so i think it's great information to know that our organizations are trying to attend and sometimes when we have a low turnout it is just because they currently have something on the calendar for themeeting of the 29th . specific district did reach out to us and we also relayed the message that it was the first lunar new year celebration so weare not able to make it . but what we did is went ahead and shared a flyer with them of the following meeting so that they can stay up-to-date and we've gone ahead and also followed up to make sure that we don't have it on the books. so i will go ahead and leave it thereand i will take feedback . >> thank you members.

>> i'm delaying for a second to see if we have any members who have requests to be recognized but i'm not seeing everyone. >> we can proceed to public comment. >> mister chair, we will proceed to public comment. we're working with matthew now was connecting us with comments colors wish to provide public comments on the update to the outreach plan. members who wish to provide public comment on the outreach plan to call the public comments call in number, enter 2484 377 3167. rest the pound symbol twice to connect to the meeting and then press star followed by greed into thequeue to speak . for those interested members connecting through webx if you would wish to speak indicate by raisingyour hand from within the meeting . doing so willadd you to the

queue of speakers .for those already on hold please continue to wait . until you are prompted to begin. you will help prompt indicating your line has been muted. as we've done previously i like to extend the floor to agnes lee, arturo can stands up from the office of immigrant affairs who are here to provide a presentation ofaccessibility for speakers of chinese, tennis and filipino . agnes,are you there west and mark . >>.

courier from district 11. i know i received a few emails from the redistricting task force and i don't know if i received any from your consulting firm but can you use the redistricting task force mailing or emailing to send items out? i think those are important items that we could use in the next couple of months. regarding redistricting. and if you want me to send it out to you personally i can but if you use what they already have i think it would be positive. >> thank you forsharing your comments, next color please . >> this is lauren girardi with the league of women voters of san francisco. it's nice to see everyone here.

and i just wanted to let you know a few of the things that we are doing to get the word out. so we can send out to our list of community organizations and nonprofits. they haven't subscribed to our email so we are getting individual emails. we have 500 groups on our email list that we are reaching out to the cross whole time of the task force. others we areemailing about citywide , others we urge you to for redistricting. for this specific meeting we had 28 groups. including a few that were on our district call center list. we also on february 3 sent our

newsletter so in if anything changes please get it to us by the end of march. we sent our letter to 1400 san franciscans, we don't have that many members but this list includedredistricting task forces . we also shared meeting information towards the whole calendar but also some specific to this meeting to 12 dozen neighborhoods. sorry, just 12, not 1200. including languages other than english. i don't speak languages other than english so your materials are very helpful for access. we've also helped, held two

virtual open office hours. i'm sure you all have done this as well and we are reaching to correct misinformation especially on groups that think you are already considering that. we're still seeing that out there but i think it's just confusion rather than as a result of signature sites. i think it's just not understanding the redistricting process but we're still working on that email . every time i'm ready to send it i find a few more so we're doing all of that and we hope ... i think that's it then. >> thank you for sharing your comments. i have received word there are no further callers who wish to

provide public comment on the agenda item number five. >> chair: miss carol, public comment on item 5is now closed . are there any members in the queue? >> i'm going to delay once again tosee if we have callers requesting recognition . at this time there are none. >> chair: if youallow this we can go back to item number three . >> i will bring us back. >> can i respond to the comments of thepublic ? >> i defer to the chair. >> please. >> thank you for your comment to the first caller about the email blast. any email blast you received has been a specific edge and just from a technical dialogue, we have tried to go ahead and send it from the sites but just like you mentioned it does ask

for permission and its, we don't have that permission. it's kind of like a security issue so we do have it if needed email for this redistricting task force. that is what you see. you could definitely follow up with that email and we can discuss other ways that the chairman can get permission. we're always open to that and thanks to the league of women voters. making sure we're on the same calendar list for districts. and if you have any questions, you can always follow us. you now have my email and any email from the specific edge. openly we can reach out with any other questions to collaborate. >> very good. now if we can file and move to

options in terms of and your own experiences and options. in terms of how we get the lovely collection of communities to draft maps for draft maps or setof draft maps . maybe not tonight but within this mapping item in thefuture . it's best toreceive that input . >> mister care i don't know if seth neil has a response for mister cooper's points. >> mister neil. >> if i see the chair to member cooper. for clarification on the district layers, how would you what was the request there, to have them available ?

request for 22 in that one or just a suggestion for the topics the different map? >> nothing for right now but i think as we prepare, maybe to prepare a presentation or to just think more about as we get ready to begin the mapping just so we know our options as to what it will look like so we have a good framework so we can get started on the support or get started on thefirst map . it can be good for us as a we get into amore in-depth conversation . >> that sounds good and that sounds like if you have any particular suggestions for questions we can communicate.

have just a little over two months left, we have seen that discussing the maps, once we have the draft maps takes months and that's not something that's in the current timeline. so we are -- i'm hoping that having those discussions now will hope you spend as much as you can of the time in march and april for feedback to your maps and then revising and then maybe revising again. so one of the things you might talk with kit about is what the process is. are you asking them to draw a set of maps or will you be moving it around yourself together. one of those is a lot faster than the other. this time i might give you a hint. and then if you are having to bring some suggestions for

maps, how are you prioritizing that and who on the task force is going to do it are you all going to be involved or are you going to assign somebody to take charge. i think that's a slabtive effort that ultimately happens. and then coming up with multiple draft maps. so we'd like to see a few of those come out. i just wanted to offer that clarification. >> thank you for sharing your comments with the task force. i understand we have one caller left in the queue but we are still joined by the office of civic engagement. could the 3 of you provide the

>> clerk: thank you all very much. i understand that we have 16 callers listening to our meeting and two are in the queue to speak for general public comment. could we have the first of those two callers, please. >> caller: thank you so much and thank you to the task force for all of your amazing work. it's clear that you all care deeply about this. give me one second, my name is luke bornheimer and i'm a resident of the city and as you've heard a father. first and foremost, i just want

to make a comment that the clerk and the translation services on this meeting are outstanding, i listen to and call into a lot of meetings and this is probably the best i've ever heard. so just to compliment both those teams and the task force for caring so much about outreaches in the communities. my comment is about parks in the city that border multiple districts notably golden gate park, mcclaern park. i am curious and kind of more of a question, but also a request that those parks be basically excluded from a district and rather treated as kind of a city asset and that way we increase investment from all supervisors, but especially the ones that border the park. so any park, especially major parks that are bordered by two or more districts, i would ask that those be actually

[inaudible] because no one lives in those areas. both a question and a comment. thank you so much for your work. i hope you have a great rest of the night. >> clerk: thank you very much for sharing your comments. i should acknowledge that the public comment period is not a question and answer session with a back and forth exchange across the line, but once public comment is closed, does someone want to take up any of your questions amongst the members of the task force they could do so. could we have the next caller, please. >> caller: david pillpell hopefully for the last time tonight. i could comment on the previous speaker's comment about what to do with parks. i will choose not to right now and just say that i provided a letter to the task force this afternoon regarding voter registration and turn-out numbers as i offered to do at friday's meeting. that may not have gotten to you yet, but i'm sure it will in

the fullness of time and i'm happened. >> clerk: thank you for providing your comments. >> caller: i did want to comment on some park issues. we did hear from folks from mcclaern park today and more on future district focus meetings. i would like to recommend that the task force check that whether or not there are people counted in the parks as living there. as we know, we have anywhere between, well, the numbers are controversial including many families and they are counted during the census as best as we

can given the resources we had during this last census which were interesting. so do take a look at the census numbers that you've been given in the redistricting tool. i'd turn it on, but it makes my computer freak out and i can't do it at the same time i have webex on and just check and see if that's something you need to be more aware of because, you know, we wouldn't want to let anyone think they're going to be excluded because they don't have a regular steady address or they don't have a place to call home or they're moving around or they're living in their car. so we counted them where they were at the time of the census and it's important to include them in the process. >> clerk: thank you for providing your comments. could we have the next caller, please.

>> caller: hi. this is jenn saber with the legal womens voters of san francisco. i just wanted to call back to the announcement that chair townsend made today at the beginning of today's meeting concerning what's happening with alabama's congressional maps just to mention that is an example of jerry amandaering and that we didn't discuss that with the puck. so i wanted to explain that it's the manipulation of the redistricting process of the maps that don't represent the community. sometimes it's given unfair advantage to one political party. sometimes jerrymandering is due to race and power sexual orientation, economic status, interest groups or other factors. it's what happens when

political factors are placed ahead of communities' interest. and it's important we're having these meetings to get the public comment to the redistricting task force. at the previous meetings, think there was some concerns over redistricting or previous redistricting harming their communities and, yes, redistricting is vulnerable and when the redistricting process is not done in a fair, equitable transparent process, then the community is harmed. i know, you know, within california, the california redistricting commission, you know, did face a challenge back in december which got rejected by the california supreme court. there is current. lawsuits are not just for state level. it's also happening on the county level. i think with the local leads that i'm in touch with, i know that at least there is at least

one lawsuit with san luis obisbo county. with the redistricting requirements under the california fair maps act as being ignored. so we're keeping up with all the different lawsuits possibly happening around the california counties and local levels. so, yeah, just, you know, really wanted to bring up to the public, you know, that it happens on all levels. it's not just on the state level. it happens on the local level too. i think for san francisco in our case, it's not so much partisanship, but more so with incumbency and also with people based discrimination. i hope the redistricting task force continues to have a fair, equitable and transparent

process. >> clerk: could we get the next caller, please. >> caller: hi again. i wasn't even going to call in on this one, but when somebody said something about golden gate park. as linda mentioned and she lives in district 11 and is head of the mcclaern collaborative, we are in three districts and golden gate park is in four districts and i just wanted to remind. i don't want to remind you, but just to let you know that these parks are in different districts that need to be be tended by supervisors we need

to rely on one of the things that he brought to your maps was at the geneva half of it's in the parking lot is in san francisco and they use that in the last redistricting and i asked chris bowman to take the parking lot out. nobody's lived there, but there is a gym now that was built right before the pandemic. so i don't know how you're going to look at mcclaren park or golden gate park or amazon park for that matter. so i just wanted to weigh in on that and, thank you.

>> clerk: thank you for sharing your comments with the task force. do we have any further callers in the queue? hang on one moment, i'm receiving word we have no further callers in the queue. >> chairman: thank you. public comment is closed. are there any members wishing to speak on this item? >> clerk: mr. chair, i see memo hernandez-gill. >> chairman: please. >> member: thank you. i wanted to bring up this question of parks in particular. over the years, i have helped out and ran different voter registration drives in the city and one issue that came up almost meetly was a question of voters at a fixed address. many people use parks as their address where they live when they register to vote and there are, of course, many people who

use our parks and sleep there and stay there. so, you know, there are maybe parks that don't fit that description. but i would be amazed if mcclaren or golden gate park were in that small group of parks with absolutely anybody there. i'll look at the numbers, but as it stands, i would be -- i'm going to assume that folks are there and, yeah, we need to consider them as just any other precinct in my opinion. >> chairman: thank you. is there any further comments? >> clerk: mr. chair, i'm not seeing any other memos awaiting recognition. >> chairman: thank you. thank you all. have we closed public comment. >> clerk: yes, mr. chair. you closed public comment after we heard from four speakers. >> chairman: all right. i didn't remember whether i did

or not. i believe no other member comments, we can close this and move to item number eight. >> clerk: agenda item number eight is future agenda items. this is a discussion and possible action item. we will be taking public comment as part of the discussion. members of the public who wish to provide public comment on future agenda items should call (415) 655-0001. 248473 -- excuse me. the meeting id is 24843773167 press the pound symbol twice to connect to the meeting and press star followed by three to enter the queue to speak. if you wish to speak on this item, raise your hand from within webex. i'll repeat these accessibility instructions, mr. chair. >> chairman: thank you.

members? are there any future agenda items concerns amongst you? >> clerk: mr. chair, i'm not seeing any members of the task force awaiting recognition. >> chairman: very good. let's move to public comment. >> clerk: for the last time tonight, we are taking public comment. this time it will be focused on future agenda items. if there are any members of the public who would like to provide public comment call (415) 655-0001. you will be prompted to enter a meeting id is and today's meeting id is 24843773167. press the pound symbol twice to connect to the meeting and press star followed by three if you wish to enter into the queue to speak. or if you are connected to a meeting from within webex and you wish to provide public comment, raise your hand from within webex and that will add

you to the queue of people awaiting recognition. can we get agnes lee, arturo costenz and raymond borris to offer their services one more time. in order, please. >> translator: [speaking chinese].

>> translator: [speaking spanish]. >> translator: [speaking foreign language].

>> clerk: thank you all very much for being here. this might be my last time publicly to thank you for your services today. so thank you once again. we have 17 callers listening and at this time, one of them has raised their hand to speak. can we be connected to that caller, please. >> caller: hello. first, i just want to thank everyone who educated me in my ignorance around the parks and made me more aware around that. on a related note, a request for future agenda item would be exploring the possibility of splitting up larger parks by golden gate park and mcclaren park into equal portions for how many ever districts touch it.

if three districts so that's a request for a future agenda item. >> clerk: thank you very much. i'm checking to see if we have any callers in the queue. i'm receiving word we have no further callers. mr. chair. >> chairman: thank you. let's close public comment on this item. are there any further member comments? >> clerk: mr. chair, i'm not seeing members of the task force awaiting recognition. >> chairman: well, then let's file this and we can proceed to item nine. before we go to item nine, let me thank all of the translators and staff once again for your excellent service and attention to our needs and let me thank

all members for being here. the public, it's really about hearing from the public. so this participation, we appreciate and with that i believe we can move to adjournment unless there's something that commands our attention beforehand. >> clerk: mr. chair, there is no further business. >> chairman: thank you so much ladies and gentlemen, thank you. good night. .
