3:23 pm
our job is to get us close to the mean as possible. with all the criteria that i laid out. so, the chart you see before you other current districts one passed in 2012 and the 2020 population. districts 1, 3, 4 and 7 are below the 5% mean and they are on the west side and 6 and 10 are over the 5% deviation and on the east side. >> districts contiguous and for areas separated by water they need to be connected boy a bridge, tunnel or ferry service or they are not contiguous.
3:24 pm
travel from any location to another location in the district without going outside that district to be contiguous. points of arc joining corns are not contiguous. districts compact it does not bypass areas of population in favor of more distant populations. so. what are next steps? so throughout the few meeting its has been a mapping process that the task force will create the official district map. the task force will exercise the legal responsibilities. creating the map knowing that yours must be changes to be legally compliant. each move on the map will necessary low impact one or more districts. task force meets the

4:25 pm
in my neighborhood where the neighboring gather and discuss, we have a neighborhood and you are trying to split us to different districts and it seems obvious to somebody who is in the this active and not involved. upon if it is obvious to me then is obvious to many other people in the town and what really set me off was seeing a comment from one of the commissioners who said that the complaints were only coming from one district. >> thank you for sharing your comments, next speaker, please. >> hello, can you hear me. why we can. >> okay. great. thank you very much to the task force this is i tough job you are under a lot of political pressure. resist the inappropriate attempts to influence what you are required by law to do which
4:26 pm
is be neutral. continue to the a political and follow equal representation in communities in your deliberations. from when i have seen i have full confidence you will be able to do this. thank you for using map 4b. as a starting point for listening to the communities and keeping sea cliff and presidio in district 1. b keeps the tenderloin and soma together. unify the visitation aggravate task force has to dole with body in the stay like the board of supervisors population growth in district 6 and 10. the anger with change being directored is unfair low place. lines not set in stone and have
4:27 pm
not guilty changed much since 2000. arguments that higher and low are income teem people should not be in the same districts your new lines won't change the fact that quality in san francisco. with now population growth the new pop population growth and future will happen in district 6 and 10. prebl makes the most sense to have a negative deviation in the 2 districts future residents will not be under represented relative to the west side. things will change. sf has a massive bias and some are asking to you dot impossible. thank you for sharing your comments next speaker, please. >> hi. i'm jessica [inaudible] i'm live

4:29 pm
thank you i'm joe demento a residents of d8. and i want to thank you all members for what you are doing. i irrelevant impressive job you are with standing super long meetings, painstaking work and being unfair low mischaractered. thanks for your hard work. i want to e emphasize what a caller was talking about the fact you are real mandate is to make sure there is equal rep centation in the districts in san francisco you in this is in the the case. d6 is over weighted by 30 percent. 10 boy 10%. what means the votes of the people in the districts matter less than the votes of people in d4 or 1 or 3 and the callers who call in the expressed concerns with marginalized communities, i
4:30 pm
think they would agree that it is in the good. i don't think we or you think that west side voterings and counts more. this is obvious conclusion. and many of the maps proposed the community map, continue the problem of over weighting the east side and under weighting the west side. my view is in the dprau a line that puts this community interests in that district or the other. that is hard to balance the needs. i think the most important thing is we don't disenfranchise voters because of the status quo. communities have been over and under represented. that's a huge problem. you have a unique opportunity to rekt foil that please, focus most low on the proportion of under and over representation in the various districts now and
4:31 pm
account for future population growth will continue in d6 and 10 and not -- thank you for sharing your comments, i understand now we have 8112 callers and of them 29ments to speak could we connected next speaker, please. >> eye i'm paulina fay are with an f. im grited san front 30 years ago will most of my life. i have been participating in the motings for arc while. some call for minimal changes to districts but the fact is that significant population shifts have occurred. this process is not about drawing lines that benefit. preston and al ice by any means it is being in compliance. map 4d is property but there
4:32 pm
might be a bit of room for modifications. again, again, again, map 4d is not workable. yesterday the argument was made that disenfranchised groups need representation. this is saying that the candidates like dean preston is removed from the people he claimed represent are best for the group they consider disenfranchise and elect them all the time this is absurd as to the call to the task force commissioners. task force commissioners last minute the political group is going off the radar. the happily gerrymandered in the favor before export to condition the power grb for the next decade. i want to thank the task force.
4:33 pm
you have been through a lot. please do what makes sense. don't [inaudible] and i yield time. thank you for sharing your comments, next speaker, please. >> hi. thank you so much, task force members for putting up with everything you have recently. i think i would like to just -- ask that you add all of [inaudible] comments to my comments i think her comments were awesome and hit the nail on the head in many ways. i will touch on a few more things. people people referring to disadvantaged community the map they seek ensure to actively seek to disenfranchise the community. community map did not reach out
4:34 pm
to the african-american community for their input. african-american leaders came to public comment saying we can speak for ourselves. it is ironic the progressive map does in the have the support black community. this is i believe they are seek to disenfranchise in a name of a raw, political power grab. we are seeing that play out in outrageous ways with dean and others rallying support at the election's commission to remove task force members at 11th hour. outrageous. and should be absolutely put down immediately. and -- if what i want to say to the people who call in or speaking, what you are advocating for is illegal. no aim of upon community public
4:35 pm
comment with over come that that it is an important point that people forget. what you are advocating for is illegal i don't care if you have 10,000 show up it is in the legal. and cannot be adopted. and points about -- thank you for sharing your comments, next speaker, please this is a time for me to reminds speakers that public comment is not a great opportunity for calling out other speakers others from we heard or those we may hear from later on in this discussion. it it is your opportunity to tell the task force your views about the when you would like to see as the future shape for the district maps. next speaker, please. >> hello this is chelsea wake. thank you very much for the opportunity to speak. i wanted to dredge my public

belong and matter and have a part and a voice in deciding and creating a community for us and by us the talk of one person one vote is right in theory but marginalized urn represents communities it disregards the history of oppression that immigrants face. this is in the just about politics it is whether communities share resources to be accessing different programseen though they live cross the street and share interests. it breaks my heart to think about people like myself. my auntees and grantys from the working communities. to black and filipino communities in soma who will
5:51 pm

5:53 pm
needs of the marginalized communities who need you are more then and there they did before. and you don't hear them i'm just curious what it is you are doing? why are you here? why are you in this chirp if in the to lynch to those most marginalized and need you here more than ever. >> communities you are in -- understanding of the this some reason it continues to falls on deaf earings. i care about san francisco i'm sure you do care. it strikes me you i'm john mccormick i live in district 5.

5:55 pm
years special diminish the value. i encourage the burden to stay as close as you can it i one % when possible. keeping communities of interests in tact. i think this sack filing, trying to diminish that or sacrificing trying to keep the votes even upon in exchange for other interested that groups might have would be a mistake. again, thank you very much for all you are doing it is appreciated. thank you. >> thank you for sharing your comments do we have anyone in the room who wants provide public comments on the topic of mapping. we can return to the remote public comment queue. we will have our lines unmuted i remind everyone not reminds update everyone we have 123 people lynch and at this time there are 17 line representing
