communities of color issue renters, lbgtq populations the task force chose to keep wealthy white communities hole in the final map. it is troubling that the task force would adopt a map in bad process and lack of transparency. against the advice of good groups like league of women voters and urging of the clerk and city attorneys. mapping commenced months later meetings were cancelled and public comment shelved for hours. and multiple votes occurring after will late times with no clear explanation. the pandemic created problem and result in less good task force applicants. no previous task force spent so many hours with so little to

responsibility for today's results and the final report. i served on the task force and made mistakes and i apologized. we all live with the lines the flit cal structure was min tained we had a tough job but got through it. the difference here is the level of anger, distrust, hurt and lack of respectful dialogue. the failure to execute lead, plan and the suggestion of political agendas at work is 2 palpable. i'm profound ly disappointed despite my support for the process as you cast your vote to support or oppose the map i hope you will reflect on thoughts and

out a way to deal with the upon tenderloin so the people don'ts feel disenfranchised. thank you for sharing your comments. next speaker, please. good morning. i'm vince. i lived in 5 for 27 years. the final map is skewed. there is no other way to say it. the districts will be most impacted the tenderloin and western area, d 5. goals to paddle the map is more about break up voting districts this are more tenant friends low in the city than population rebalancing. irrelevant. >> map 7 would be an equal choice and rebalance the population without break up communities in 5 and 6. you heard many comments from

residents in the yours this oppose the map. the task force is pushing yet you ignore the occurrence. i urge you to paddle the map that is closetory map 7 if in the the communities should consider litigation. thank you. thank you for sharing your comments. next speaker, please. why good morning. i'm chelsea lee and wish i could be in person today to say this to your face. but thotsz not the way the cookie crumb bells. i want to thank you for your work and i wanted it thank you for see thanksgiving process through. i'm heart broken to hear the pain around keeping the valley and port ola apart and think if anyone should apologize it is the progressive interest groups who tried to give this process and wing i war across

communities. remember we are stronger together. approve this map today and begin your repairation process. i hope in 10 years the commissioners will not have to responsibles the same chaos you had to endure. thank you to clerk carol. you should have your own [inaudible] series online. thank you. thank you for sharing your comments. next speaker, please. >> thank you [inaudible] and clerk carol special dast and research and the many working on redistrict. like many we hope you will draw a map that reflected the public input. not [inaudible] many others dividing [inaudible].

we hope you would create a map that would help communities to have fair representation. however the map divides neighborhoods and asked to be kept whole. it dilutes the voting power. this map means a battle for communities in getting representation. why thank you for sharing your comments. next speaker, please. >> hang on one moment. we have no more callers in the queue. >> hearing that. mr. clerk, opinion comment on item 2 is closed. members.p comment on item 2

is closed. members.u comment on item 2 is closed. members.bl comment on item 2 is closed. members.i comment on item 2 is closed. members.c comment on item 2 is closed. members. yes. that was a short public comment shorter then and there i expected i guess i'm not that surprised. this is after all our 46th meeting as i have been keeping track of the hours we were approaching our 230th hour. of course, 13 days after our deadline. and it is worth reiterating the last task force only met 100 hours. we beat that out of the ballpark. as i said left time. we released our working map on march 9 the previous task force 9 weeks earlier. for weeks we have not had an out reach consultant. which highlights and adds salt

at this time wounds of the fact the vast bulk of out reach is online. disenfranchising thousands. we did not hold an in district meeting outside. meetings at city hall and we fail when it and to prosecute riding language access. now, i -- i think it is small comfort to say that this is a result of the pandemic and hard to do had the fact that out reach process and this we never had the funds but ultimate low it highlights the issue about the process. throughout all these 46 meetings we never agreed upon how it apply the criteria. how to organize the hundreds of public comments we received. we never discussed how to deal with unmappable communities. i think is important because we highlightd and emphasized the

fact multiple times people providing public input without the ability to map it and prioritized the peoples who e managed around mapping. we never dealt with conflicting input we disregarded add sunrise from the city attorney. and this process lost the trust of the public. and what i say to that is i think the public got had they paid for we are all volunteers. i think that is evidence. we are here. probably minutes, way from approving a final map a map that i will reiterate splits some of the most marginalized communities like those in the tenderloin and south of market. across districts. these are communities of interests this had be in the same district if than i have i

chance for fair representtation. i believe this can be described as intentional. the chartser requires us to make adjustments is it appropriate on public input. charter requires the district lines to reflect communities of interests and requires to yous lim population variations with districts to one % of the money unless we are keeping recognized neighborhood in tact or preventing the dilougz of the voting power of minorities. >> in map does none. does not reflect public input or fair low reflect communities of interests. this map divides the most vulnerable communities. spreads them krootsdz multiple district. i deny them effective and fair representation. dilutes the political power of

interests. this map goes boost 1% limit in all but one of the 11 and splits dozens of neighborhoodses like heights and stones town. i have said this is i map of political devastation and i stands boy that. i don't thank you this is at all a compliant map. this it is a map that gerrymanders our city out of a flawed process. i will vote against this map and i look forward to when come next. which i assume legal challenges. i think we will be stuck in this situation for months and years and it is unfortunate. i don't think it had to come to this we had plenty of opportunity and time to work through the challenges. come to a compromise and for whatever reason, we never did.

and you know i feel -- i feel the need to reminds folks i kept telling people we'll be in the situation months ago. i was dismissed it is frustrate and painful at this time communities and put them through unnecessary trauma. right? because politics is important. i will have more to say after the vote is cast. thank you. >> thank you. member cooper. thank you for those comments. i will save my proisz comments for the final report we want to talk go in that section of the agenda. i do want to talk about the charter you called out the asks us rirs us and shall make

adjustments based on public input. i am general low -- skeptical of this public comment format. the format of having people say things and moving on has levels of inequity. but -- this is the charter is explicit in that we shall make adjustments appropriate based on hearing. and that's a broad statement. it it is a very -- allowed for a baptist wiggle room that is a testament of faith in this body and of those who, points said us we will have a good understanding. it is also a testament to the

difficult y of the decisions we are here and have to make. and i think men of the choices the really the controversial once mote that bar of appropriate based on public input and hearings. we heard on, you know talking about 10 you know we heard a let of input on both sides and the way the numbers worked out it was impossible to make that happy. tell be i wagz that no matter the map we came out with -- there was going to be difficult y around this. i think if we are in a situation that every choice we knead no matter how hard it was at that level it is i map i would vote for. i foal the pain of my neighbors on the dis who will vote for a map that has the core a decision they very strong low disagree

watch a decision keeping the portola in 9. i feel that pain of for me, i think that -- almost every choice hit this is threshold of appropriate based on input at hearings except for one the choice of that it is creates the map as it is the most important and essential aspect and the move the tenderloin to d5 from soma. it it is will the reason i -- can see it is not appropriate based on hearings is we had a lot of folk this is is part of a map or the map that i have been working on for weeks and heard folks defends the map itself. it is the legal map. the -- best map but besides the

chairs speech on read before the break in march have not heard anyone here in public comment or on the dias clearly explain why that decision was made and why this choice was made. the central decision of the map and process. the one boost fold head lone of the process. not something i understand and not something i heard explain how this works. to me it is the central choice and not appropriate based on input at public hearings. for me the. come down to the word, appropriate. that is an appropriate change and inappropriate change. it is in the beg your pardon 50%

plus one saying one thing or not 99% or 100% saying one thing it is about changes that are necessary and we feel are promote. to me appropriate and to several other members appropriate means what is best for the city and best for the people who need the help the most. it was clear to me and clear about it from the upon beginning from the early conversations in napping. from when we heard from the district 5 hearing and 6 that this was important for the districts. this was an important link with the tenderloin and western and central soma. you know we walk through the tenderloin to get lunch. we work now right here and then and there it is a community that needs the support it can get from government and the work we

do here. i think that it is -- inpresent for us to have start that in favor of any number of other -- choices made and i -- you know the end of the day, if -- there was a justification based on input and hearing anything else i felt comfortable with. may be something i could say, yes, that sucked we went that way but go long with it. it was one thing in match to support it and like, okay, may be we'll hear something and may be someone will come up with a 13 this choice is the best for how to deal with the man. we had weeks and hundreds of

opportunity for people to defend that choice and the move of the tenderloin into 5. i think it is indefensible. i'm voting, no. i do my sense is that the map will paddle and i think that leads us to what the next steps are. and i think this could be a major turning point for this city. i think the -- i don't say this to minimize the trauma and pain of the map. the 11 supervisor district system in the a loose confederation. these are the one body is that is the board of supervisors. it is a body that should be looking out for all of san francisco at all times. we know that is in the how it works and the benefit of having districts is communities and residents have someone to sxaul

go to. i think it it is going to full at this time board of supervisors to legislate like a body. like one voice for san francisco. the fact that viz valsenot with the portola does not mean the 9 supervisors can't work together. and i think it falled on folks like me and the rest of the servants of the city in the day job and capacities to not be reliant and work and proactive working with communities. and working around the disaster and the issues we created with this map. it it is on government to be proactive with the communities that are there even though tenderloin and soma are in two separate districts there is one

community and up to the city to respond to that at this level. supervisor districts is a shorthand for communities is always a fraught issue and we are in the in i bad situation like chicago where everything is based on district lines. we have the opportunity to work outside of that framework. it is up to the board and us to even if the map is [inaudible] we will have issues. for were some communities. it is up to us to over committee issues as well as we can. i think the communes operated separated and haze valley i

think it will come to having to work with multiple supervisors and working beyond that. i hope the board can -- look at it like a body and not respond to the voters but respond to the needs of the city. and i think this is the best direction for us to heel. and i apologize to the city for the way the process has failed. we'll talk about that on the next item. i wanted shed color on why i'm rowing the way i'm voting. >> thank you. >> thank you. mr. cooper. mr. jeremy lee. why good morning and to the members of the public. this is it. our final meeting. we started redistricting in mid-september 2021.

7 months we set out a process to listen to the public and needs of redrawing district lines. in the beginning i know that we all set nought good faith to conduct a press that was fair, consistent and transparent. but -- by today it is my belief this body fell short. if i could chose one word to summarize our process i would describe it as crew. crew not because we had to make tough choice we agenda 've understood that from the beginning it was crew we made hard decisions reversed them and reversed them again did so on multiple occasions. we will time we reversed we did not offer an explanation to the public. did not guide them through our

rational. as if we expected the public to accept this giving them when they wanted and then taking it away was just part of the process. for example. on march 25 the tl and western edition in one district a move no one advocated for. on april second the community responded. heard if 182 speak and ares 2 thirds came out to express spchlt keeping tl in soma together. we voted veterans a map that listened to community input and kept the city's vulnerable neighborhoods together of april fourth we to being this, way. advanced a map that put soma and tl in d5. april 9th i map that again the tl in d five and separated it from soma.

and upon then the heeling map. on april 21st we to being this away again from them and upon put a fractured tenderloin in 5 and soma in 6. within a span of 3 weeks we kept tl and soma together. separated. reunited, separated and reu noticed and separated. and deputy it with the southeast residentsos april 6 we took a 5-4 vote to keep potrero hill whole. april ninth reaffirmed that vote boy a 5 to 4 vote. 30 minutes later that vote was rescinded. again with different numbers in

the majority on -- professional 21st this vote was reverse and theed porto pola placed back in 9. this body taken actions that have been cruel to the community. we played a game of keep away with neighborhoods. we could have just made hard decisions onceful spent the time explaining to the public instilling confidence this body has strndzs and applying fairly. instead we incited communities. pitted them against each other. framed redistricting as a zero sum game for one district to benefit another must be harmed. there was no shared 7s pain or sacrifice to keep the communities together. no metric of we hear your need fist. we're sympathetic butt needs are just a bit more severe.

needs for survival and existence out weighing needs around social activity and shopping. when i storied the redistricting process i was committed to keeping the vulnerable communities wholism know this would be a battle but i did in the expect it to be so stacked. i said this previously can will say gwen to the day i question the transparency and access to the body i hope when the final report is released the public can digest and review it. i hope they understand the circumstances behind the actions this body has taken. because of our flawed process. and the monopoly guess against the vast majority of public testimony approximate this body has not apply immediate a standard in the decision make process and the map harms my own

communities as a queer person and voice for china town. i will vote, no. >> thank you. is that member pierce? thank the members who have supported -- and the member up here -- i'm not getting in to how i feel about the map i'm on the record for how painful i think this map is. to people who really need support. and -- i'm on the record for how much i feel this map lacks compassion. i would like to put forward a

motion that we vote to approve or not approve of this map at this time. member pierce for clarity through the chair you would like to have the question be shall the proposed map be approved? >> correct. shall be approved as the moving forward for the next decade district lines for the city. >> you don't to write all that. the question is -- shall the proposed final map be adopted as the final map. >> correct. >> can't hear you. >> if i may, member pierce can we add with the changes made on

april 21st? is in not the proposed map. >> we want to be clear that is when we are voting on. so -- i call the question shall we adopt as the final map the map that was finalized on april 21st. >> 25th. >> yes. >> thank you. why thank you. why do we need to include april 25th. do we nooek need to talk about include in the motion changes made on the 25th? got it, thank you. >> that's included. >> it is included. the last action that the task force took during the mapping discussion on the 25th was you made various adjustments and i requested you make a motion that

you accept all of those adjustments than i were made at that made at that time and became the proposed final map which appear online. they don't need to be incorporated again >> do i have a second? >> i will second that. >> thank you. >> commissioner castillon. >> thank you. chair townsend. so -- something that i will address is -- am something i will address is this decision around the tenderloin to 5 this has been the most challenging piece of the ref districting press as a whole. we entered this with i d6 that was 30% above the population. and we talk about things like whether or not things are zero sum game. the reality is when we rebalance

populations this was going to be the challenge in the entire map. and with district 6 we were hearing 2 overwhelming themes with this district. there were the tenderloin connection with central soma and the communities east cut and south beach. and mission bay. and this created a conundrum. we could not keep everything together within 6. it was not possible to do that. so -- what it boiled down to was how we have to look at the other neighboring districts and understands how their communities of interests map with in coming -- coming to connection with the district 6

areas. within districts 3 the overwhelming public comment was to be adding more of russian hill. and received 1100 letters from the community around how they would like to be adding more russian hill. i don't take this light low. what we have when with the with public comment is sometimes we -- it is easy to ignore these bulk pieces in which people don't have the time to come to the meetings. we had very long meeting its is very difficult for someone to in here, be in a meeting and speak their peace it is a very daunting challenge. and in many ways it is nerve rack to give public comment. we have received we have

received public upon comment on received many letters and e mails with a very different tone. on -- many of the issues. and something this we did receive a bit of was of we did receive e mails asking for tenderloin to go to 5. and centered around the migration pattern that existed between the fillmore and tenderloin and risen in rentiers this is where i believe this community of enters exist. it is similar pattern of why potrero terrace with the bay vow with hunter's point and sunnydale. they are not exact low connected to each other but there is a community that occurred due to the migration patterns. that is something i -- i see there. and when we have seen with the

bulk of comments around the communitiesmenting it remain together and not seeing narrativementing to go in district 3 that , is where i believe that we are make the right decision on that front. because the reality is, we had to make a decision and when we look at how all the things interact, that is where i had to land. because we cannot -- dismiss the comments coming from a quieter voice. that does in the have the same rhythm and boat to it. that's -- that's why i will vote, yes. on this map. >> thank you.

>> mrs. ho. >> thank you. thank you member castillon. i appreciate all of your comments here and i want to echo that and ensure that i agree. and this is where i land on most of the decisions as well. for one, there is talk about us not listening to the most vulnerable communities. and the reality is there are multiple communities in the city that we have to account for. and -- there were multiple ways that people were ump giving feedback in the form of e mills we received thousands of e mails a week for whoefrn has come to city hall. you understand more than anyone else had it takes to provide 2

minutes of comment you are on the phone for hours. we than the major of san francisco don't are not capable able to dedicate the time to show up day after day. we do have to account for the voices who sent an e mail. wrote letters. signed letter dps all that is take nothing account. it was not just the loudest voice. all of san francisco was our responsibility to pay attention. back to -- when -- i think it is hard for -- people who are impacted to look at -- the city from a bird's eye view that is something keep as task force members have to account for the domino affects if we moved one block what happen in another.

anyone seen us move maps you saw us do that putting in requiring the hub and central soma 2 miles away. that's how i look at the maps. everything has a domino affect. it is unfortunate hapeople feel unheard or feel like they were were not listen the to and. but we knew as members off the bat we were not going to be able to give everybody when they want. the city is has changed so much in the last 10 years this is a population and number situation. and unfortunately, it got politicized this . is supposed to be boring task force and it it is not entering to move people. it happens once a decade and

most people didn't know had we were doing the first sick months or did in the know we existed. we were working on this stuff. so -- and back to the comments i heard from other members here. just now. that -- yes, i agree this process has been cruel. it is cruel because i think that a lot of upon communities were are mislead to believeingly if than i showed up regular low and loud and persistent that they would get had they wanted. and unfortunately this task force had to look at the map from taking in arc counts the thousands of e mails and hand written signature this is we got as well.

and xhouns that are disenfranchised. i can sleep at night we did the best we could and did kept the most number of communities together as we could. and again. based on public testimony. i wanted answer -- you member cooper about the -- question of why -- tenderloin is with western edition and member castillon said, early on in the process around when we went to 5 there was conversation about the migration pattern between the migration of community from the western edition to the tenderloin. the maps that were submitted address had as well. >> so we can reference this and

the public is open to see they are posted online and look for them. on the other hand we does d in the receive any testimony from the east cut. saying they wanted being in d 3. and nobody in d 3 said than imented east cut in their community. and then it goes become to bisqually how i have been saying from the start. we all agree. the first moves was to cope d11 whole. they showed up and no disagreement. they wanted -- together in d11. we were likeers great that is easy. we can make you all happy. no one is disagreeing. there was no contention or no one in portola said, no we want district 11. no one from the north or west said that. the first move was to keep 11

whole. and we heard from dozens of communities groups in district 3 that said we want to remain whole and u noticed. and again there was no contention. east cut did in the say they wanted be in d3. rush yarn hill was at every meeting and say they want to be in d 3 and gave us the decades of working together. decades of relationships with the rest of the communities in d 3. that was easy. and because of this, you know and -- you pair that with the fact nad6 grew boy 30%. and the neighboring district there is 5. it was a no easy answer for me to say.

the footprint of the city needed to move east anyways. with -- one and 4 growing like need to grow by 8 and a half % and d6 shrinking and d five in the middle. d filed have to change it is in the middle of 2 high areas the footprint had to change. so for all of the reasons that this is why i feel comfortable with this you know -- with that part of the map. it goes become to the public testimony i can refer to and feel good about. you know we talked about reaching out to disenfranchised communities at length from the start.

we had communities in china town going door to door collecting signatures from people had live thered and work there and have small business there is and sign the letters pen paper. no one if you rolize how hard that is. i collected signatures and you have to talk to someone. to get them. to write their name and sign it. to approve of what they -- all told us they wanted d3 together. so -- i think that it is ridiculous that anybody says that we did not listen to community input this is out right flatly -- a lie. and i do want to address you know the cruelty that happened to our community that -- came in to speak the cruelty that happened to us as members as

well. the tensions remember really high. and -- i feel will it did not have to come to such high hostilities. and more painful we live in the most diverse cities in the world. with thes most to the recentlies in the wrldz this we love to tell everybody we have high tolerance. and we are accepting of everybody. and yets in the rooms. i have never seen miles an hour racial crap voiced to each other toward me and my other fellow members. it is i disgrace. for anybody had was part of fanning the racial sling you should be arc shame third degree is in the the accomplice to do it. i don't accept this in my city. i don't accept that in my work

place or anywhere. when well is racism, you call it out. that is our responsibility as citizen on this planet. i can bark on this for a long time but -- i hope that -- we can move forward. and accept this map that is painful to me as well. i feel comfortable with some of the decisions that were made that i have discussed but it it is extremely painful for me to see portola to be disenfranchised by -- racism.

and the system is this one redistricting. they are separated by a freeway, you have kent date to the northern part of the district without acrossing to others. it is the definition of noncontingance y. so -- i hate that i -- this is not the map the perfect map but i would like to see because i think that --think that --y. so -- i hate that i -- this is not the map the perfect map but i would like to see because think that --y. so -- i hate that i -- this is not the map the perfect map but i would like to see because think that -- i accept hard choice modeed be made and we have done the best we could. thank you. [applause]. don't do they understand we have feelings.

please don't do that. i have a guest 2. mr. hernandez-gil? thank you. >> so, begin the fact that there has been a couple of references very specific references to the letters and the 1100 letters that we received from china town i will take the opportunity to read it. i think it is very important for the public it hear this. to the members of the redistricting task force. i was made away the bound easier of d3 may be reconfigured as a result of the census. i'm concerned of had will happen to china town in 10 years. china town, are community of common interested tied by small businesses. they should be included in the updated district 3.

in bold letters ooem against the proposal to add the tenderloin to d 3. combine thanksgiving area with china town would stretch resource thin and strain resources would be arc lued toward neighborhood revitalization and small business. chien town businesses suffered from the pandemic, antiasia hate. crime and property damage adding the tenderloin would add more problems. i fear the tenderloin with problems will spill over to our neighborhood. i emplore your task force to look at the occurrence above as you redraw the lines. english is not my first language i know the difference of should when the letters were coming they say please consider adding rush yen hill.

their focus was clearly and in bold the quest tenderloin in d 3. something we never considered. i feel commolest low comfortable this we could have kept russian hill in 2 whole and gone against these suggestions they said here. so i really don't appreciate and feel it it is a bad faith to misrepresent had the people have been signed. this is i conversation that happened that took place that should be centered and not misrepresented. okay. so i don't want to hear anything about that because we have also heard from many china town resident and organizations of concern of having their vote dillowed by the addition of rush yen hill. they are issues we could have resolved of dealing with conflicting input. but to misrepresent that the

letters were about the 1100 signatures is unfair. now i will also add. >> there were multiple letters. >> please. >> this is -- letters 664 out of 1100 or how many we received. if there were other letter this is said something different that's fine out of 684? 684 letters said this. now when i will say is that again, i really i feel amazed that we -- that we have members on the task force saying we never heard from the east cut. i live in the east cut. i voted to name the east cut. i have been a residents of the east cut for 10 years. i along with other people have e mailed with the wellingness to be in district 3. i'm talking about conflicting

input and the selective use of specific input because it furthers and it is convenient. that is incredible low unfair. when you have literally something your task fers who lives in the nishgd and expressed to go there. who spoken for the 30% of the below market rate residents in the east cut and the damage this map disciplinefulil talk more about thap later. i foal that the commencements that i have heard are really astonishing and highlights the brokenness of the system. and why this map does in the represent it.

the next member is mr. chasel lee >> thank you. why thank you. i'm -- i want to -- first agree with the arguments made by member castillon and member ho. and i'm going to probably for the left time on this task force speak about my community. portola visitation valley. members e louded to it. member cooper, thank you for bringing it up and acknowledging. the comments from the community.

we talk about this task force as a whole splitting them. may i remind people that the votes to -- put tenderloin in different districts were done obsit majority. and so -- i must say for the record that people -- all of us -- speak many of us awful us talk about you know communities. there was public testimony and public comment and -- i think we recognize a lot of voice now from public comment. we met a lot of the people.

i speak the high horse looks less impressive from south 280 begin what is the public testimony. we spoke on the issues. -- supported. and -- again i will say perhaps a different process may have had a different outcome. i will speak about -- division. granted the redistricting task force is -- the active joint. it tasked with drawing lines. dividing people.

people have ponent to a different division of that were generated. created. i want to harken back to something i said earlier that -- these divisions have always existed. they were always there. the city is people city government. -- and the people of the city may have known but i will submit this likely very like ly -- that -- our city's gentleman chose not to seat divisions for the longest times. this map did in the create the divisions it exposed us for when we are. that previously maps tapered

over the divisions. that -- they hit them and we pretended not to know they existed. this -- this entire process -- let us see what needs to be fixed in the city. and this in itself i think while we could not resolve the conversations here -- but they are conversations worthwhile to be had. there were comments about -- legacy. um -- not today but previous meetings. i want to address had now.

i will spoke for myself. when i join third degree task forcive said i want to raise the voice of the voiceless. >> what the few people -- in -- any decisionmaking body in the city to come from the communities. i want to lift up their voices. give them in the only lift up voices. lift up their voice and let them be heard in city processes. i think we can safely say that we have heard them loud and clear. we have heard their aspirations and wishes and heard of when they want for their communities and their future.

i am proud of that legacy i sleep knowing that their voices are now -- heard that we can hear their voices but they are now speak up and they will not be silent any longer. my question is. are you listening. do you care. this task force for better or worse said they don't. and that was a decision -- consider 4 times and came out the way it did. i accept that and they understand the outcome for when it is.

will other departments will city bodies listen to them. follow through with them in let them or not -- have a seat for them at the table? is something only time can tell. i'm -- proud to be a part of that legacy i leap and say that on that i will be on the right side of history having lifted up the voices that is my answer to that question. it did in the come about on this map but i'm sure 10 years from now the next task force will have to wrestle with this question again. and for the reasons stated --

before. and while i'm -- of course, disappointed by the decision with d10 i will vote yes. i believe that as i said during the elections commission meeting -- we were trying to dru a map we could be proud of or the city with work with. we went through each district twice. listen to input and there were a variety. with -- some of the things member ho e louded to, more heatd and -- less present than others there were a lot of gems long the way.

we all love our city and of course have our personal, may weigh things different low. i'm comfortable with a lot of the decisions i have made. i believe they are right for our city. and -- because for those reasons i will vote, yes. for this map. thank you. i am make my comments short. i agree with member castillon. member ho and i thank you, member chasel lee for focusing on the city and the fact we see the marginalized communities. i joined this task force because i grew up without a vote.

and i truly believe that everyone deserves the vote. never in my wildest droll when is we talked about how difficult this was going to be did i ever, ever, ever imagine how difficult this was. i never imagined the hate. the antiasian and antismeltism. the over all racism this came out in i city has member ho said i thought of as more to the aren't than most. idea someone say, you should not sleep well when i spent 8 months of my life trying to make this process work and sated here hour after hour without being able to comment listening to people -- 3

infection, disinformation, conspiracies, personal accusations and sit here and take it. it is traumatic. and nobody should have to go through this. we are is to figure out a better process. on the positive side. i learned so much more about my city that i love. i learned about the portola. member chasel lee to being me through there before we started i did in the know how to pronounce it i'm glad the city knows where the portola is and as you have said we have elevated it. >> i think the board who intrefrd and fanned the flames need to think about when they have done and how they respond to the communities.

and to the fairness of the process this we are trying to do. i think it was shameful. and it was hurtful. the members of the board of supervisors are here to support the community. i think if anything come out of this may be communities can work across districts and work to build i better san francisco. and i -- see the city, too. i hope this with the new map, which i will support -- the board of supervisors the members of this city all the different communities that need assist expectancy there are so many will work together and say. i need help and i will be there and many other people will support them. inspite. i believe in the city. and it is amazing after going i still -- do what i do.

where before you -- gets to this i want to say. i hate to disappoints the call whore wished no sleep limp is in the much chance of us getting sleep after this process is over. i know i will. member pierce? >> i was not going to address this i'm going here. this city has never been tolerant or accepting or inclusive for black people and throughout this process and from the beginning -- we have been the puppets and the wiping cloth, you are hearing divisions and some of them are from me. you are hearing we are underlet and disappearing and pushed out in the decisions affect us

directly. cross this map from d five to 6. to 9, to 10. to 11. it is scare and he painful and people are lashing out because hi are terrified. buzz they are frustrated and they don't have recourse this is in the a tolerant city and this process is less tolerant every month we went forward. i can acknowledge that has been the case for most of us up here. but i'm not hearing anybody else acknowledge that on our side 2 townsend's point nobody is taking the time to look at our perspective and say -- what do the words mean to us? and i have felt word and heard

word this is were violent toward my people that were be littling to my people. and that classed us into the projects with no other recourse or the tenderloin with no other dignity. there is this absolute starting from when we got here. continuing through this process. approximate sense of -- we acknowledge you are there and lawyer this is all we do and can use you as the whipping post and black people have been the whipping post throughout this process as well as being threatened with not continuing to be here throughout this process. that is what the process is doing that is where you are

hearing the anger and the frustration coming from and it is antagonized and patronized. it is very bad the tolerance that you experience we don't experience on a day to day or in these rooms. it is in the there -- and that is the problem. this is why we have the issues. i xham this process stating this the portola was the reasons i agreed to sign up i wanted to see them reu notice exclude i thought what happened 10 years ago was a problem. i came in with this understanding. ive stated that on our first meeting when we came here. the response was talking over

me. there is no acknowledgment of the harm that could public low happen. i acknowledges the harm done to the portool and fight to fix that harm with my nonprofits. there is no acknowledgment of the harm you will do to the black community or the pacific islander communities or the southeast asian community with those moves. if there was a way to do it and we could we would have different it. approximate and i would have signed up. well is no acknowledgment of the hrm it would have done at this time black community -- other than the black community and a handful of white people from potrero who are part of the community. i still to this day say well is no acknowledgment of the harm we are doing to the black community in the tenderloin and central

soma. this is my point. there are racial systemic racial harms that this city has been doing to all of us. there has never been the tolerance for the black communities that you guys seem to believe is there and if you irrelevant continuing is there and you irrelevant continuing is accepting you are instead paying attention. >> you are not paying attention or not trying and i don't know which 21 it is i am so -- so upset and o offend side how tenuous our existence in this city is.

it is tenuous. it is barely there and -- other than the reverend. >> people don't care. i agree. why i'm sorry i have guest 2. that was me y. yea. i do want to say this whenever i hear this is spokes to mow not from the black perspective i don't understand the black perspective not being black but i will say that as the nittive american on this task force when there are lit roll concentration camps in the mission right when 250 years ago that was lunched when the indian extermination act was created back in the

1850s when we had the indian relocation act of the 50s. i feel i can empathize and have an awareness of the challenges this happened. and there are a handful of us in the city. and it is so -- unseated recommend ramaytush ohlone lan. i did want to talk more about the question of district 6. and we have said it multiactual times we should not take into account the future development it is not a factor for a criteria. when communities are defy fining themselves through growth and development both present and future. i think it would have been permissible for the task force to take into account. it has been clear over the last

hour or so of comments that an opportunity to listen to the voices of people in the communities like myself that focused and centered fair representation and the task force listened to the voices living in the same communities that prioritized relationships. over representtation. i think this the transgenderic and frustrating result new district 6 continues to group many of the city's high density projects together. mission rock is a hub. the transbay development. . 5m. the reality is this guarantees the district will once again with over populate in a couple years. whatever resources d6 is entitleed will have to be spread over more people.

it will morse communities to once again compete and as always has happened tell be the marginalized and poor on the losing side. and because of this district is already covered by special assess am districts that fund cbd's and maintenance it means this resident of 6 will be doubly tax exclude will be under represented. at this point now for the better part of 2 decades. over 10 years had d6 come plains about the growth. this map is the reason why. right. and gwen we could have had this conversation without making development a criteria because the communities were identifying themselves through said growth.

we chose to prioritize certain voices and apparently completely igmore what i said and others in my neighborhood were saying that arc lined with middle east. make it is clear well was a diversity of opinions this was ignored. thank you. >> if is okay for the chair to have a couple of comments on the other hand this process. first as it miss to process. i want to be clear to the public this could in the attends every meeting we did not vote down any signatured processes. we did in the row down -- adopting processes or setting criteria. it did in the come up.

it is was not there because we were -- asked to do it and did in the do it. i wish there were discussion this is brought up from day one it was not. we limped long as best we could. -- but i want this to be clear. of how we -- wentllow this process. now. of as to -- and i made statements already about -- the african-american row and tenderloin to district 5 and all you have remembered that for what who like its or who does not. if i could pig y become on when member pierce had to say and

thank you. i have sat here live nothing this town 55 years. this year. and as i say the sadder part about that is i was an adult when i got here that means i'm very old. but out of 55 years i watched one of the most glorious places i have every seen in my life die. and that's a black community in san francisco. used to be fillmore. now it is the entire black community. gone. the only community or grouch people in san francisco the only ethnic population that is losing people every year. every other population is gaining people.

we issue losing. of it may lead to it and deep pockets of poverty -- in district 5 the fillmore surrounded by affluence that somehow you know -- we know the trickle down don't work. i ain't got wet, yet. so -- to try to do something about that. as misguided you think it is i will not apologize i a nileation. that is where we are. you know -- excuse me. district 10 -- do you know what is coming? when they complete the shipyards

in the next 10 years and the candlestick point development in 10 years? the black community is nut third largest population well tell be the fourth and way behind white issue asian and latino. and fillmore will be gone. we are trying to hang on. you all in 10 years will still be fighting to continue to e merge and grow. we will not be a voice in the wilderness. in it is next discussion in 10 years. you talk about had you have in the heard. i heard it in community i did in the bring it here they did in the come. why didn't than i come? you go to fillmore xu are dealing with the most disappoint exclude lied to community in the country. when you talk about urban remule

and the broken promises. and then you sit here and you talk about being alis and you talk about -- all that -- and people of color this ain't nothing all lives matter to me. when i hear you say temperature the prove of the pudding is not in the eating. folks from d 10 join with 6 and supported everything you wanted against the things i was suggesting and everything else. and the one thing they asked for chase centers d6. and already have oracle p. mission bay. the new hospital. and the new school the general -- schedule this goos. all of those resources they had. and amazon.

and they asked for chase center. and their alis got it for themselves. why since we don't have no more meetings i can keep it role as i want to and i can use the language i want. we talk about hate. and if you don't know enough about mow to know where i am on hate of anybody me telling you now will not convince you. got fbi today and when is the person what does they person who most likely to be the victim of a hate crime in the count row look like tell be a black person i he to brick your heart. we are not the haters we are the hated. and nobody talks about that. i was inviteed i rally on haight and talk about haight on every group of people, lbgtq.

jewish, asian hate and no one mentioned hate against african-americans. this is the city that you are creating. i got her in 67 the summer of love i thought i i doed and gone it heaven. this was i glorious accomplice. i didn't want day to come and didn't want to leave. now it is destroyed and -- and the thing that it is most hurtful we talk about all the comments this we heard. and will y'all know how many hours we sat and listened. ain't nobody talked about the fight of african -- i will be honest. i don't like to think of moiz

myself as naive. i thought it would gent rit i discussion and suggestions or at the least discussing. ain't nobody talked about it a couple of us up here and a now out there and on the phone. and other then and there that, nobody talked about it today. nobody -- came up with any ideas or suggestions. on what we can do with the disappearance of the african-american community in san francisco. i will say it before and again. my fear in 10 years tell be lucky and i don't believe in luck this if there are 12 to

intend black people left in 10 years. even today if we showed up on the same day we account in the fill every seat in the park. . and by then -- cooper we will fill up chase center. the fact >> i -- hate -- hate the so many people upset but i will not apologize for it. y'all are trying to grow we are trying to stay here. survive. the idea of thriving has in the crossed our mind in 20 years. how that -- is not a priority for everything that goes on in san francisco.

i'm sorry. i don't get it. i don't mean no harm woeful come from communities who have people who strug and he will i'm with you. in your struggles. but i foal like ain't nobody with me. and being i part of the process has convinced me evermore that as far as black people are concerned san francisco concern black people are inconvenient. i will tell you this and i will be through. i will quit bothering you. people come to me who carry a political tiling that is in the conservative or i think you know. i don't want to -- everybody who

believes in this title. but after all -- you got the board of supervisors presence. president and the mayor and i laughed. you know what -- steve bannon -- and all the white supremacists say in the united states is no longer racist we elected obama. how is that not the same argument that you look at people struggling and dying -- when we talking about -- fentanyl killing people. who you think it is killing. homelessness we are -- almost 50% of the homeless population and we are 3-5% of the population. how is this possible? and we are in the in crisis? you going to sue me because i suggest trying to do something

about it. sue me. so -- it is so much more i will leave it here. dpoept say that -- the districts we had which have been a death nail for the black community. the districts you want to keep have been destroying us all along. we ain't got nothing out of it. that is all right. but how do we get them. because somebody drew them from the beginning they did in the come as a divine right. they were drawn in the beginning and i can tell you when than i drought it the first time when we still had enough black folk in fillmore we could have made a difference wewhat you use. gerrymandered. nobody had a problem with it but

us. like nobody has a problem with where we are now but us. i will -- yea i will vote for this. is this the way i would have like today. hell no. i would have likeed have done much more. i will vote for it. i will vote for it understanding that if i could have done more i would have. i hope some day we will understand the importance. not trito create safe district it is for safe political persuasions and go become to or go to districts where you got a lot of different people in it and the people who desire to represent those districts will have to go out and talk to the

people and create platforms and planks on the platform this is speak to the people's need and not >> i can do when i want because my district is safe. i am so old that i remember my grand parents and parents and my neighbors and the people at my church debating over who had the best civil rights planks the republicans or dem credits. and politicians had to try to sell their program to people not know they got i safe district so i can do what i want. and if y'all don't get, way with that we will never start talking to each other again. >> we'll not stop give and taking again. which is the idea of politics. we got get out of this nonsense of not talking to the people.

not addressing the hope and desires of the people that's all of the people. the people that don't agree have a right to exist in this town with everything the world has to offer. they are not guilty lesser humans because than i disagree with me or may carry a different playical persuasion. i that are not lesser. than i am buzz they are arab yen latino. mr. gil when you walk down the street you are black. you know this. >> i'm saying -- these other things that people are dealing with. on a daily bases. they are not playing politics. they are in the trying to grab the greatest progressive or mod

rit strategy. that's for us to play in the game and what people are trying to live and survive. and will they want the same things. the i decent place to live. a way to make an income. niches they can get along with and laugh and joke and share with from time to time. that's what people want. decent sxejz a vacation every now and then. that's all. anything this denies them that is in the worth discussing i leave you with that i'm sorry to take up so much time. but those of you who think we made the decisions cavalier ly and made the decisions because the dwerpts were calling us and

telling us what to do. that is an okay response but it is so damn lazy. that's a lazy response. to say everything we said up here that developers or supervisors i don't think this of my colleagues. i can say this and we everybody know we ain't going to agree on the final vote we ain't agreed on anything up here. oi don't think anybody up here took this job light ly and not any point not making a decision based on what they think is best for san francisco. i may think they are wrong. but i know they don't think they are writtening or they would not have done it. so you all -- tell your friends that the -- not worry about the outcome but i'm proud of the

work that these people did and i am proud of the people and honored served with them. and made good friends for the 40 hol be allis and talk and continue to talk y'all gotta talk. some of y'all joined -- lib service it other communities this you never talked to null got in the rooms and saw how you could use each other to get to us. but had no conversations before you got here. we will not survive and one of the things that -- i hope this is the last thing i will say. you organizers in the tenderloin, i hope you can removeow upset you are -- and look at the deep pockets of poverty in d 5 and help them

out. because our organizations in the -- black organization in d5 don't get fund like y'all do like your organizations do in the tenderloin to work with poor people. we are struggling trying to provide service. i hope upon -- that you can bring back to our communities as well. thank you, for your time i apologize again. ladies and gentlemen, i see mr. castillon in the queue. i want to thank you for your leadership. it has been incredible working with you. i will not follow your conversation than i got the heart of everything we have been accomplishing. i would like to call the question. >> i have no one. >> i can wait.

>> please. >> motion was offered by member pierce and seconded by castillon. shall the proposed map adopted that being the map incorporating the adjustments on april 25 yes thinks you should be adopted. il call the role. member lee. >> no. >> member pierce. >> no. >> reiner >> aye. >> member castillon. >> aye. why member cooper. >> no. >> member hernandez-gil. why no >> member ho. why aye. >> member chasel lee >> aye >> townsend. >> aye. >> there are five ayes and 4 no's lee, pierce, cooper and gil in decent. >> thank you. the motion the final draft map

is passed. mr. clerk. i think there are members of task force. >> i'm sorry. >> i'm sorry. >> guest one mr. cooper. why thank you. i want it say thank you chair townsend for the speech and want to apologize i may have taken the 14th amendment too furious ly and i, voided tucking about race but have been thinking about, lot and i hope to connect with you and w with you on this process after this process on bodiesing black voices and building black purin the communities and in the new district 5 in district 6 and 10. and -- irrelevant hope to w on that. i think it is something had a lot of the issues you talked

about from redistricts the solutions will be beyond when we talked about today. i have technical questions to follow up. what is for the clerk -- the new lines are they legal as of of 75 seconds ago or not until. this is a selfish question who someone when guess become to tomorrow or today and mark things with when district they are in. do the lines become legal now or until you update or someone updates it on the charter to reflect the lines? >> thank you. new lines are effective today. so that does in the mean that any current supervisor has to unseat just means they are effective when the task force

adopts the final map which you just did. why okay. thank you. >> and then this is something i will follow up with in writing the hardest things to finds was a monopoly of the supervisor districts. you google it the first page is new supervisor district its is from 2002. an ask to the clerk's office to make sure we have a map of the line come the easy solution is to use the map here what we have. take out the draft map and left years rename it and let that live for 10 years. it has been a problem and for the work of the employees have

to reference that every day. we would appreciate that as well. >> thanks. >> i'm sorry. guest 2. member pierce. i would when we are done with this agenda item i would like to request a 10 minute recess. why i think this is i good idea. >> mr. chasel lee? >> thank you. perhaps i agree with member pierce to extend this we could have a longer lunch break instead. why fine. >> yes. i think that is fine. though -- keep are 2 more items is there anybody else? so why don't we take a 30 machine break now. it is 1:01. >> we come back no sooner than

1. . 30. is it 1 p.m. already. why yea >> 1:30 is fine >> thank you, mr. chair. drop the ga thank you the redistricting task force is called become it order from recess. mr. clerk do you have announcements? we had just wrapped up item 2 which was the approval of the final draft map. task force did approve it is final map and if you would like we can move forward it item 3. >> thank you. let's call item 3, members if there are no objections?

the discussion of task fers final report. members shall discuss the 20 between census redistricting final report this is a discussion and possible forcaction itemaction item.the redistricting final report this is a discussion and possible action item.discuss the 20 betw redistricting final report this is a discussion and possible action item. >> i see mr. chaset lee in the roster >> for the members. i circumstantial litted a -- a skeleton out line of the final report.

could i receive the preventer card i will chair the document. why if you could send the card to me in web ex. i got it. i got it. sfgovtv could you switch to had i'm displaying. >> thank you. clerk carol this . structure of the out line is based on the 2012 report, which is which is one format that we are before us the 2 where are 02 task force did in the gent rit i final report. we can't use that.

to go over previously. there will be an introduction and describing and a description of the provisions and the charter that -- empower and empaneled the task force to talk about the -- composition. how we are all selected. the staff and the one and only clerk john carol. the dca. q2, pacific edge and the other members of the office of the clerk. d. elections and sheriff's office. the criteria that both me and the member had discussed time

again throughout the district meetings. >> and the mapping meetings. a descriptions of the task force process it is more of like a go over of like the brief description of the history of the task force, when we did. we wentllow 46 meetings. rinking from 30 minutes to 20 hours. we met 230th hour. okay. 231st hour. meetings and like -- recognition and acknowledgment that the covid pandemic impacted our operations.

out reach each of us took refers tasks. social media. out reach. budget data, et cetera. there will be a section for district considerations is a description of what areas of the map we considered. we discussed. the next -- section is deviation to 1%. have -- reminded us that we have to explain this why we will have to be at the mix of 1% to 5%. this the following section is prebl the one that may generate the most discussion. lessons learned. many with many pregnancy how to improve the task force.

and then appendix, the final map. the final maps. districts statistics. budget statements. there will be various reports from the office of the clerk. civic edge. niches from q2 and i think see through it i have been told this ocmi submitted a report. and a host of other agencies. i want to make absolutely clear, i want to make clear hathis entire process will be done with both the office of the city attorney and the office of the clerk who will have been of great assistance and i want to -- be i want this final report to be forward facing. >> because we have all said like -- this final report like

what will be the take away 10 years from now. the main people will read this 10 yers from now the people of the next task force how they want to structure their process. there task force. i think we should -- this report should be geared for them, too much how -- what our experience how our experience should inform how they can do their job. 10 years from now in a different city. and you know -- that is that should be part of our legacy. passing on the lessons we have learned. we learned them the hard way. why so -- just want to spark the conversation with that. thank you. >> thank you. thank you for the out line and i

think it is going to be helpful in terms behalf is getting the process done and makingure it is a way for members, issues and concerns to be heard. and i certainly -- i hope people are in agreement with me. in agreement with me that i would not want this to in any way censor or curtail or control whatever members have to say. added to the report without edilling. unless you want to as far as it the rest of us doing it it is wrong the way it is and hope. i think that for me the only value in the final report exercising ourselves is for the

future.thefuture. there are way in dh this process can be improved that is in the to cast anything on anyone who went before us. i just -- see things i think might work better if than i were done different low. we are there. of one thing i ask everybody to keep in mind is how do we make sure that this report is -- read or at least taken in consideration. 10 years from now. i lived a good life. so. but i think for other people, you know. i want to make sure had people

don't have to even make the same mistakes we made. they can do it better. each -- and every 10 years. it gets better and better and -- getting to the results that it oughta get to. so -- having said that. who is guest 2 this time? mr. hernandez-gil y. do we node to meet again. is it something we all work collaborative ly, is that something that is permissible? i think perhaps -- it might be prudent to schedule a meeting in a couple of weeks time and finalize it then. but -- i would love for the public to get an opportunity to provide comment on the final report we are public comment

this afternoon but -- other that have been the out line, which i'm not sure if the members have seen beyond wham is on the screen. it would be good to get this feedback. >> who was that mr. cooper? i will let member lee address the comments first if you like to. >> as far as i think the florez may have a clear answer to that question. my understanding is that circulating a draft with the brown act violation. so -- could you clarify. why just before being i want to make sure that members understand that your comments on the out line and versions so forth make sure they go through

mr. carol to get to the rest us and i'm sure you all are aware. just to be certain. and then he will circulate them. so we are not circulating back and forth which we have not done we can get redaction now i don't want to make a mistake. go ahead. what was the question again? i believe -- if you could -- clarifier confirm for member gil's question that circumstantial litting a draft amongst us 9 members men i brown act. >> we have to -- do -- regarding circulating a draft amongst members that would be a violation of brown act. and regarding having further meetings that is not something the city attorney's office

opines or has control over it is up to the clerk's sxofs this body to determine. we have made a time line for the draft report. this is the type of thing where there would not be extra meetings. this would be you delegating the work for the both the draft final report and a final report. the draft report would be conducted upon member le's time frame. but grit if there could be a time frame the draft final report we post on our website that the public would be able to

comment on. the clerk's office would get the comments and provide the comments indexed for member lee and he would provide the final report to the city. witness he begin that to us we would provide that to the board of supervisors and mayor and department of elections and director and the election's commission for those bodies or the mayor or the board to consider as they move forward with the next phase of this process. >> thank you. >> mr. cooper. >> thank you. yea. i upon general low before i gift comments i already gave to member lee on the recommendations for the future. thank you so much for putting it in the out line.

for me i agree with the time line and the process the clerk laid out. i think we can use today and use the next few days to get comments together and get them to the member lee and then based on that out line and framework i'm fine with what decision he makes regarding what make its in and what does not. in addition to when conversation we have today around the process. i did -- i sent in i few notes and forwarded them to judge to send to everyone else about the first it was it make sure we talked about the affects of the pandemic. most low not [inaudible] for to just clarify that for when the 2030 task force looks back and sees they did this way for them to know that hopeful ly they

will not have the same constraints we did. who knows. i had given brief recommendations i know there will be arc loment of conversation around what do we recommend for the future dp want to tell the 2030 task force about the process and when to ask for. my recommendations i have 6 i laid out one was bigger out reach through you know not beyond what the consultants above that. >> a charter amendment to make it so we don't wait for the census to come out and get the next version get start in the 2030 and knowing well that the members will be out of

alignment. and asked for more direct support in the early stages of the process. i think we -- on our first meeting did in the have the second meeting schedule or i calendar or a schedule. it would have been beneficial for us to know this is i body that meets 3 times a mont on these days. so people know going in. so we don't spend months or 2 figure thanksgiving out. and more direct support from city agencies. we need assistance beyond the running of the meetings. we need and the running of that aspect of public process. you will see people in marketing complain b. people doing

marketing thing its has been frustrating as a planner to know there are pep this do this for i living that are paid by the taxpayers and i think having assistance from plan pregnant mta and other agencies to help facilitate not just public comment but building a within the confines of the brown act a robust process able to build in all of that t. requires work and work to think through and talk about. the time we time frip we had. it would not issue possible. you have time to pull in and do shaferets and the other things for people to be clearly understand the trade off and understand when we want for them about the community. >> one other upon point was --

or more open process around the selection and spoeping of the consultants.ing of the consultants.sing of the consultants.cing of the oing of the consultants.ping of the consultants.it was helpful to have the consultants start but i would like to have known more how they are selectd and about what their scope was and why it was what it was. i think a work arounded could delegate that work to the commission and having them go through and in this public process go through that press of selecting consultants and redistricting so that -- we know -- where that is coming from. if there is time the task force should do that work if not delegation should suffice. and i think my last point is

conversation early on about how the mapping decisions will be made. i think -- we have these are very hard decisions about weighing massive amounts of input and we are weigh and living with our own experience. understanding how we work through the differences and discuss those. of and coming to i shared language around that would robbery helpful. so -- those are my suggestions and i'm interested to hear other thoughts on hawe want the next decade's task force but city staff and everyone around to know how to make this process better. i think as an arc dennedum. i know there are folks out there who are thinking of makingeen big are changes and i would -- i think the task force making

changes to the supervisor sdrishths and how supervisors are elected. i kept the thoughts to working went framework we are in currently. if anyone has i have ideas about other stuff. anyone watching making changes let me know. >> thank you chasel lee for the out line and member cooper for the comments. i associate myself with everything that you said. i think it is important it go this route. and additional thing that is worth considering, i think what is missing from the previous report and probably should be added this report is talking very specific low around the adjustment of lines.

that is something that is called out and the charter and those adjustment of lines based on public input. i think going in detail and explaining the justifications will be important. both for the next task force plus anybody who -- come next election wonders why they may not be in their normal district that is the challenges of having dependant on the line of out reach. a lot of people will discover that they near a different district and would be great if we can give them clarification around the communities of interest that may or may not involved in that process around them. the other question. suggestion that i have -- is -- specific low around the question of the -- deviation and access

of 1%. the previous report talk order about deviations are a necessary to keep neighborhood in tact and the districts and surrounding areas. i'm not sure what they mean by the, surrounding areas. would be good to clirifiy what that is. right? so there is consistency with the charter language. oh . it would be great to be able to since we heard around the language access. specifics ordinary each meeting how long language access was available instead. generalities. tell be important when we start

talking around when the maps were released. and my last question is more around this time i'm open to the idea of no more meetings but the issue of having online access only -- the only foradmit for people to give comment. right? and this becomes more challenging. i think and -- given the attention had received take way of ensuring well opportunity for members.ed opinion who motive not have internet access or who might simple low prefer to do it in person. to give them an town to do that. and i get related that is if we go the route on line only input

what point does the task force lose access to the e mail from the city and what point do we have to take. public input from our own e mails >> through the chair. hernandez-gil in the documentation i provide indicates we utilize the libraries again. as we have throughout the process we would take individuals when came across the counter and wanted give their comments. it is not just an online presentation. i was not here for the whole conversation you might have had here. if individuals submit in language we get that translated.

happy to do that. mr. chasel lee. >> i want to thank madam clerk. angela for her pooir tireless support for the process. if give her a bit of applause. >> thank you. i -- member gil, is here. sends everything you said via e mail i think that would there the -- what you said are -- points well taken. and -- of course, i want to have i written record. what was said. and -- um -- one more thing.

please sends it to clerk carol for our information. i -- i am definitely i upon mean i had having this our last meeting. but i think participation is important. and i want to thank clerk for getting me this schedule. i had not gone over it in this form yet. so, according to the schedule. this week we'll be discussing -- ideas for lessons learned. by may fifth. consultants submit the findings

and i chapter for inclusion in the draft final report. they'll send it to me or -- clerk carol? sends them to me. >> sends typeset to clerk carol >> no rest for the weary. >> never endses. >> its gotta ends. [laughter]. for may fifth this is a reasonable deadline for a department to send statements. i would try to turn out a draft for my own dead line of may 11th. on the person note i'm leaving town on the 11th. >> i want to get this out before the 11th.

and that is my birthday. why a birthday gift for our chair. >> thank you. he would love it. >> and then -- the -- publicville a time to review. for a week or so. it is inevitable i will be wing on this on vacation. and -- out of town and i will but as for the final report i will try to get it done end of may. i like to put this in the minutes if i can. and after we have all of this stuff set up i like to request

the particular force have a motion that memorializes these proposed plans we take over and vote on and record this in the minutes as well. why as soon as he is ready. mr. chasel lee. put this in motion. i guess if i may ask clerk for a question is what was the dead line that you stated? mr. carol i will give this copy i have been take notes for your minutes. we were suggesting that for the week of may ninth it would be may 11th. for that week and perhaps the week after. accident be the public comment review time frame. we wanted to get it boy the 13th. but that is in the possible

whatever time you can. so you with provide the final report by may 16th. to be useful -- for the board or the mayor. and so whatever you could do and mr. carol? >> i will get this to you. iot draft foible by the 16th. jot final report by may 16th. i'm understanding the clerk suggestion is -- have the draft ready to be sdrkted by the 11th. posted by 13th and have it finalized by the 16th of may. which is i more condensed time line than you were talking about. >> we were thinking the ninth

through the 13th he indicated he can dot 11th. . i will -- i'm -- i want to run an idea and push it become a week. from the 16th to the 23rd that will give more time space that out a bito we, yea. so -- to have the final report submitted to the clerk of the board. the office of the clerk by may i think it is a monday. may 23rd. i think that -- is workable. i know there is a mention there

the desire for members to submit their own to that. and -- i guess i'm curious this applies to the general draft review process. but -- if all 9 of us. another message would that if we sends them independent to you to the clerk. >> yes. >> to the clerk. i don't know if this would still and then -- they will go throughout clerk and public but if they are all going to chasel lee to be added to the final report is that -- is that -- legal or illegal and the further question is. witness we have a draft out if we don't have a meeting does this mean that the members of the 5 members or 4 members -- 3 members can comments on said

draft? would those -- create a meeting question? i guess this is dca. >> thanks. why yes. thank you for your question, member cooper. >> there are 2 options. i report is not legal low required from you. so you can boondz the idea and not submit a report. because then you don't run in brown act violations in the future. i can enjoy a vacation. or the second on task force can take is -- delegate a single member to create this draft. and basically put it together along side the clerk's help. the clerk would raft documents and would be sending them to member lee. and so yes.

if you delegate other people to help mr. lee do this it creates a subcommittee that is subject to the brown act and meeting laws and so my understanding is no one wants to meet again. and so i think that the only option is to follow the clerk's path. which is to dez iing the -- task force lead to dez iing nit one member and have this member work with the clerk to gather the together. any communication about the report creates a meeting not allowed under the brown act. if you like to have more of i substantive conversation about the report now and like create

half of the report now. that is also an option. get your points out this is the left time you as a body will be able to communities about this >> that makes sense. if members wanted give any sort of feedbackeen if it is a minority opinion thing that would make it in the final report it is a product of the body of -- have to happen in a meeting? is that?product of the body of to happen in a meeting is that?report it is a product body of -- have to happen in a meeting is that? jury room goal now the fifth for torn submit anything they want to, wantto, yes. goal now the f submit anything they wantto, yes. is there a date for any members?

i -- as far as are departments we are not aware of the department of elections or q2. they have not updated they will submit anything for the report. why the only 2 departments left are clerk of the board and pacific edge. >> if we submit things by the fifth and a one way fashion that's fine? >> okay. >> yes, you are submitting it for inclusion in the final report and not y final report. why okay. once the draft final report is out we can't respond to it? >> i would argue that sthald violate the brown act. but i can check okay00 with my office to give you a final confirmation. you know just so you are all

aware, while this process plays out you have not disbanded as a group because you are electing to continue your duties by creating this final report. you will also be members of the task force until this final report is credit exclude finished. >> uh-huh. >> okay. that sounds good. to close the loop on another thing. may fifth is the dead line to submit any statements? >> that works for people i don't know whether it works for others the fiveth would be great. >> i think that is fine for me. if members statements i will not write that. may be except for edits.

but -- you knowledge. >> good. thank you. >> >> and to clarify the task force must be lect to do the task will be mr. lee. he can coordinate with one or two members but not with a quorum of the members. >> can we coordinate with --the member in question regarding their own statement? what do you need. if so if say a member sends their statement and like the public comment want to alter their statement would that be per missable? am i making sense at this point. >> may be.

so -- let's say i want to submit my own statement. i wanted to become public and gather personal low feedback on my comment can i modify the comment special sends it become to lee for inclusion in the final report? is this what you are saying? >> excuse me i don't see why you could write a statement. circulate it amongst to get feedback and after you get that feedback sends your statement to mr. lee. >> i plan on doing that. i'm talking here about it broader public process where -- i'm sure there are many things i will have missed. why for me i would -- you know think if people want -- when people see my statement if there are things they are concerned

about than i write hatheir occurrence are and forward this to the department to become a part of the record would not have to be a part of my statement. my statement will be my statement of and any other comments on my statement will be the comments i want incorporated them in mine because i want my statement to be a reflection of my experience and my work on this task force. at this point the members are welcome to submit statements and member lee will include them in a chapter or index. you are welcome to make your statements and have them modified once you submit them at sfgov.org they are in the final form and be attached.

going forward during this period this there is i draft to the final report. we are expecting to receive comments from the public. public are the this point telling member lee what their final thoughtsor that draft documentful member lee will incorp rit had in the document somehow. >> we do not have any student to respond to what is in this. you would before it is posted, no. and unless you say it today. you can't look at this yet. members are welcome to provide a rebuttal and statement and member lee will include that whether it is own chapter or

member comments or an index section. for you all. >> thank you. >> thank you. of that was you then? very good. voice chirp. thank you. i want to say i think we chose well. when we suggested this you handle the final report and appreciate you stepping up for this. mr. lee. i feel comfortable once i make my statement to you spill trust with you putting together the final report. i do have been keeping a rung tally of things that -- i think the next task force could take on. and i think that -- your recommendation member coop are about starting early most definitely. we don't need the census for the

task fers to start we need it to hit the ground running. and i think that the program terse around the process and the task force. i think that the way the fact force selected needs to be taken a look at. and -- i have not thought about too heavily about all of the recommendations on that. that has to be done. i think the responsibility of the people that in the relationship with the people who recommend the task force needs to be addressed. not in any negative way in the fact we know the relationship is. and what -- the hand's off rep should be. i think we need alternates. i was petrified through the time that someone was going to get sick. there were times i wished i had an alternate so i did in the have to come in and phase the music here. there needs to be alternates who

can take over if someone gets sick or there is a practical. all of that stuff -- it is in the mine. i think we need that. i would really recommend that there be a paid chief of staff. someone who can do the administrative coordination for the task force. i did spends full time on that role exit enjoyed it. i was the right person for temperature you know i have done this before. exit loved wing with the clerk's office and all that. but i think someone needs to be that is paid if delegated to and designated to the task force. they need more.

budget needs to be locked at. i think that one of the things that the task force should do is put it in the work the requirements for the statement of work for the consultants. i think that the statement of w for the consultants after the fact that we are handed is not promote. and there were things that i valid added >> there were things i would have added. and there are other recommendations that i would make. in terms of the relationships and the work i'm sure the clerk's office would have recommendations they took this on and took on more then and there they bargained for. i'm sure there is additional and we could get for the clerk's office we should recommend. in this. and will i do think that there should be a med why relation's person that can gift task force members suggestions and guidance. i'm afraid in this climate

things are not so easy. the message how the maps would w never got across people would not hear. and i think a media consultant would be helpful. why those other highlights yoochl thank you. i see a gechlt one. hi. >> thank you. i irrelevant appreciate all of the thoughtfulness gone in how to improve this exercise. moving for the next generation of task force members. and -- member cooper i liked a lot of your ideas. we did in the need the census

report to come out before this task force started discussing. we were mainly talking about administrative things that could have happened. regardless of what the results were. and i agree with you so much about media relations. i feel like we never had a chance of earning the public's trust. nobody anyhow when we did for six months. we sat here together laughing about the first media -- upon articles that came out that were -- really quick bait articles. we spoke to reporters about exact hoe what the process was and when a one % map was that was not reportod at all. instead it was really around for click bait. and i suppose we 10 years ago they would not have anticipated

social mead why a factor in government or -- anything that should be boring. that is when we are doing here. and i anticipate 10 years from now media will look different again. it changes the landscape around communications and getting attention changes every 6 months to a year. there will be different methods to reach out to people. and i would like this to be incorporated in the final report for the next task force to consider. i know we can add of course more budget to it and may be the types of consultants will look different then. men they are pr consultants. we don't know. i agree i feel vice chair reiner

i knew how much work you put in the administrative aspects and thank you very much for taking on this role. i know it was -- a big handle. to coordinate with the clerk's office which has been amazing to us. and the [inaudible] this is a volunteer capacity and we all have lives outside of one point we have lives outside of this. [laughter]. may be. >> i don't remember. should be member to handle this work. but i -- i think given how indense the situation has been or at all. i do appreciate having a chapter around our -- pregnancy.

to be included. i think we have so many emotions around this exercise. thank you very much member le for take it you were the right person. thank you. thank you for the kind words. i agree with a lot of recommendations made. these are a chance for mow to incorporate them. i wrote down point and i agree with the point of the chief of staff. our vice chair dido much work which should have been done and

paid for by the staechl having their staff and -- for -- a task that we have all insisted person for 10 years we are on a shoe string budget. the city has not put its money where the mouth is. that is an issue for other people to address. we need to state that. i want to thank hernandez-gil for bringing up language access. for the love of god we should not have task force members degree translation. we expect that to be a city service. so -- that is something i strong

low agree with, thank you for mentioning that. i know we spoke a bit about deadlines -- i want to -- for member statement we could have it by the ninth the final draft is compiled by the 11th. having in by the 12th does in the make sense if members could include by ninth that would be great. i think we can leave that like in and just have the motion. -- should be a formal motion with a deadlines inside it. why okay. can i fwif i recap of what it is we got >> before that i had a couple of comments. >> i want to certainly -- put it in my report but and you all hit

around it there has to be? type of thread min tain you believed with wa we do and the next task force. i don't know perhaps -- and i really respect all of you because most everybody here went and locked for the last final report and found temperature may be that should be handed to members the day this report and may be the once before am this one should be mondayed to the new member. so there is a formal understanding of recognition of when went on and what might could go on during your work if you are not careful. that thing must be maintained and also and may be i will take a stab at recommending -- trying to come up with something in depth about the responsibilities

are what we are doing here. upon one thick that snot explained enough because people come in in their minds was and i heard it here with words like normal district -- there is no normal district. every district was drawn by someoneful none of them came out of the sky. they were all create exclude now recreated it may not be to your satisfaction but the people who are recreating them may be out of line with your thought process but not break the law. we do people a disservice by -- not being clear and honest about

what how districts are created. when someone change its is normal to accused them of gerrymandering know this somebody when they drought your district somebody accused them because that's the process that is. i wish there was a better one this is when we do in this city and country. so it is is important and no one owns the process. no one owns it and everyone is entitled. they have a right to express had than i continuing oughta look like and finally -- because you

all mention today, i will certainly have much to say know the out reach process. i'm not going to say it here. it is because we know. we know -- out reach and i have been in the other places where we have out reach and it is always taken i think light ly. how you get it is the person part of the press exit don't appreciate the cavalier prop toward out reach they was thought was taken boy everyone but us. it is city and the election department. first of all. if you do it put monmethis to do

it right or don't put money in it. but a shoe string budget. getting the word to the public and now i'm not and i'm one had says the pandemic played a big part in hurting us. no one -- because i like peopleful no one if anyone looks forward to in person meetings. i was excited to the idea of getting the neighborhoods i don't sit in the gym's or schools and i went to i couple and remember going to the one in the marina 10 years ago.

i feel cheatd that was the reason i was good with saying, okay and if we are honest we got started when the pandemic was high and when we looked like we would go to neighborhoods we had a resurge and pulled back on that because we did not cancel them they were cancelled for us by the city. that is a fact. that we were prevented from getting out and that -- that -- coupled with the out reach issues really hurt us. i think there are people that

would have felt better and strong and safer testifying in their own community. then city hall or online knowing the difficulties people have with the digital process and world including myself. on those things i -- look forward to seeing what you have to say and i know -- i -- don't have to knowing you all this long. no need to hold back. your last shot you mine as well get it out. and let us know how you really feel that is awfully important to the value of this process going forward. -- um00 eye see guest 2? mr. hernandez-gil? >> yes.

>> thank you. it made my think of an important thing. that is -- do recognition to the xunt who helped support the -- out reach process. and i think -- many numbers saw the challenges we were face and stepped up. and -- similarly i think we also node to recognize for the sake of the next task force the fact that sorry i -- something is wrong. this is a very arduous process. i believe is creates a level of self selection.

and i think that somebody in late 20's or 30s may not have an opportunity to have a job that is flexible enough to attends a task force like this. we should recommend this be the of least a stipponed position or we ends up with the same situation self selecting for a certain type of passion and probably disenfranchising people who have deep connections with the community that may not have the same level of privilege. i guess. mr. chasel lee. we have to empanel a jury selection. make people stay in a room.

as for dead lines i think we should get that rolling the final dead line the 23rd. departments consultants and make statements by fifth. members by the ninth. and the draft final by the 11th. and then --the last piece would be the public comment review time frame from the 11th until -- i'm sorry. 23rd. the 23rd is the date where that the final reportful of course and before this or -- take in the final comments. the 11th to the 18th would be a monday to monday. this sounds good. why the 23rd is -- a -- 23rd is

a -- sorry. >> i'm looking at. may 23rd is a monday. 18th is a wednesday. i look the at an april calendar. 11-16th is wednesday-monday. yea. the 16th. >> grant the people a weekend. why i will recap in kohn order. may fifth dead line for statements offered by departments the clerk's office and civic edge as contracted. and a may ninth dead line for member statements for inclusion on unedited in the document. may 11th member lee's dead line for his draft get posted line and from wednesday may 11-monday may 16th this document is available for public comment review and posted line.

receiving submission in response either received in person in the clerk's office or through e mail at sfgov.org or through the post at our office during that 11th-16th period and the documents get aggregated together. sent it member lee and member lee provides a final report on may 23rd. why i make a motion to adopt this. >> member coop are seconds the motion. >> it has been moved and seconded by everyone. and that -- mr. clerk you can read the motion before we voted if you would. why we had hear from the public first in response. >> we have to and before we take

a vote after public comment closed i will go through all of the applicable dates that are in that. >> thank you. why all right. madam clerk. why i ask for the task force's grace one last time. buffer take public comment this will be the last public comment for the report. and general business other than the minutes. 2 thing its is important it note there is authorizing legislation for this task force an ordinance 94-between has mention of 3 things. the clerk will be your secretary. the d. elections will min tain your consultants. and that's the language access will be 48 hours. i want to say second low that the work conducted to date has been by an army of individual sxsz like to say this before this public comment because --

were on comment past meetings flowed a bit. i think thap lack of process also contributes somewhat to parties feeling like they had to keep continuing to show up and a task force member said they thought the loudest voices would be hurt so everyone tried shouting. aside from that, you know -- another comment was spot on. we have a city we paid for this task force takes up a lot of work. the fact that none of you got a -- people that can't poored to do this can't ford to be on the task force which skews things.

foible ly a shout out to john carol. you other most patient person i have ever seen you must have nerves of steel. who your boss is nodes to give you a vacation or raise after thissor deal you handled it with grace that all of us should arc spire to. thank you. >> thank you for your comments and nice words. next speaker, please. >> i'm jeremy chan a japantown community member. for the final report i urge a suggestion to have clear criteria for making the decisions. this was discussed late in the process and disappointed no criteria was ultimate low adopted. thank you fs for your efforts and thank you the city staff,

john carol i hope you get a nice vacation. >> thank you. >> thank you for sharing your comments, next speaker, please. is there a caller on the line? just a reminder for folks waiting to give public comment you are witting for a signal that tells you your line is unmute exclude receive it in one of 2 ways if you called you will hear through your phone you have been unmuted. if you have called or reaching our middle easting from within the web ex software you will hear 2 click beeps is there a caller ready to give comments? >> hello. >> please, begin. >> hello. this is anatasia can you hear

me? >> we can. okay. i recommend what david said about having the document posted so we can read it and make our comments this would be really helpful. and would be a wonderful process. you have not followed i process and the animosity that was that was -- well was between the task force members. i commends the 4 who voted against the final map because it just was not representative of our city. thank you. >> thank you for sharing your comments. next speaker, please.

>> yes. this is brenda. i hope you put in the final report what your recommendations are or how to deal with this hurt and harm that has been done because we know the community needs to heal and it mineed help. i hope to see you out in these communities talking to people so this than i have a better understanding of the decisions you made and why you made them. i think this is the part that is -- making people feel the most uncomfortable and upset now. and so this is not about race. this is in the about asian versus black versus hispanic. this is in the about that. but i do think that -- the way the process went it caused these

divides and you node to take ownership for it and you need to be helping to -- heal the city of san francisco who are feeling these things and they are legitimate feelings they have may have not been intentional but it it is still there. and so i hope that something is addressed xu make a strong recommendation that there is someone who will deal with the issues and talk to the communities especially the ones that feel harmed to help them work through this. thank you for sharing your comments. next speaker, please. >> yes, can you hear me. why we can. why this is peter warfield. and of course you have all done a lot of work on this.

but in any case talk about the product and where we stand. the publicness of the process was a problem. almost all of the out reach and information that were provided were almost on line. this left those on the wrong side of the so called, digital divide, out of the picture. this is, lot of people and the vulnerable populations are most like low to be negatively affected. and i'm concerned sunshine open third degree and i'm concerned the final draft is not going to be had at a public meeting with time for people to review it so you can hear from the public. when they would like and not like about what you got in that draft and when they want. the purpose of a public meeting is everybody can hear that is going on you are supposed to make all your decisions in public. i understand it, there is a

department comment portion where i don't know what departments are. why do they get special and member statements and the draft. what about the public. it will comment after the draft has been formulated and not in public and not in a meeting. you will dot minutes through delegation that is correct is wrong. many of what the members have ponent about is terrific and i think the documents should report what happened for the purposes of today as well as next year or in 10 years. what was the publicity budget and how was it spent when who was in charge. many maps had no street names the website was clunking. any report you issue should be the day so people can come and pick it up. thanks for your efforts. thank you for sharing your comments.

sorry it cut you off we reached the 2 minute limit. next speaker, please. is there a caller on the line >> hello? >> please, begin. why i'm karen pierce, can you hear me. >> yes. >> okay. i wanted members of the task

force i hope the report does in the use the words, impossible task at any point. your task was not impossible it has been done in the past. you have done temperature if you think your task was to make everybody happy then that was impossible. but this is in the what you were tasked with. this is in the a map that -- i can get behind. but this is a democracy and unfortunately, the way our democracy works especially these days trying to find a way to reach equity and equality is not possible. i -- really hope that the final report is something this we can all that is readable and we can all really -- understand what has happened along the way and if there will be apology in it, please, i would like one for all of the 18 black comments i had to live with for my whole life. thank you again. thank you for sharing your comments. could we get the next speaker,

please. good afternoon members the association i have one concrete comment with respect to the final report and that special care needs to be taken to ensure that all tax commune benefit districts regardless of the department they are by city or what their ultimate benefit is reflected and be considered i dentically. i node as of today the northwest potrero hill and dog patch does in the show up on the map. it is the oversight i think continues to be seen. it is a model that may roll out to different parts of the city. task force members i have disagreed with some things i want to thank you for your service and commends you for making through what has been an arduous process and take a

million to talk to staff about the tremendous job you have done the clerk's office and mr. judge carol, you give us faith in our city government. it is a faith we need and need to be reminded you have and a reminder there are so many folk like you in the city government doing their best to make our city a better place. thank you. >> thank you for sharing your comments. next speaker, please. >> hello can you hear me? >> yes, pleas, begin. why it is virginia marshall. i was away [inaudible] however i'm sure i'm not going to like the final map based on what you are done the past few weeks. i want to say, thank you.

and 8 p.m. 10 a.m. or 8 p.m. it is absurd and anyway. we waste our time we'll not recommend what you do we dot opposite. i hope all the black churches are become where they belong. i hope we are whole i know we are not. thank you but you have to live with the harm you caused you will have to live with it and you are not posed to be opting for your area. you are to represent all the people for the city and county of san francisco. thank you for sharing your comments. next speaker, please. >> hi, yes. this is [inaudible] i want to make the comment that the

next -- with the reports will save as far as the dates that we are just agreed to it. and gets better and the report is red for review so that because i think that -- people or forget thing and the ones that are not when they are -- hope to have work throughout e mills amming people to -- [inaudible] dates and of course -- if the clerk can also let us know when than i will be heard part of the board of supervisors. i think the public likes the ability to comment on in -- and i want to commends everybody.

the concept of bureaucracy. i know it is in the easy and i know what than i deal with as a member of the public we are in the always as kinds or as right as we think we are. and people who put up with us in humor and do their job need to be commendsd and this case, i believe the people who worked with us in evidence permanent low by john carol. clerk cal i haveo and others i don't want to [reading names]sil leave some out and i don't want to leave anybody out of this. but evidence most apparently buy them served us in good humor. these are city workers here in 1 and 2 in the morning. i want to say for the public we never called a 2 a.m. meeting or one a.m. meeting and snuck in

and voted so you would not know. we voted because we were kept here until that time and we gladly did at this time public had something to say and had a responsible to listen of and took that long. but it was not our idea. we never had any idea we would be here until those hours. we stayd and the staff stayed with us and served us this entire time. i'm just overwhelmed by the w they did from the clerk's and elections department and the city attorney y office the sheriff's office. once again the janitorial service. those people who go home in a more decent hour had to wait for us to finish their job of getting this place ready for the next day. than i stayed here and i just -- i don't have words as much as i talk to tell you how i

resources and the tenderloin needs that more than anywhere else in the city. >> they're staffing a variety of our street teams, our street crisis response team, our street overdose response team, and our newly launched wellness response team. we have received feedback from community members, from residents, community organizations that we need an extra level and an extra level of impact and more impactful care to serve this community's needs and that's what the fire department and the community's paramedics are bringing today to this issue. >> the staff at san francisco community health center has really taken up the initiative of providing a community-based outreach for the neighborhood. so we're out there at this point monday through saturday letting residents know this is a service they can access really just describing the service, you know, the shower, the laundry, the food, all the different resources and referrals that can be made and
