on behalf of the fillmore jazz community benefit district, which we are renaming it to the fillmore community benefit district, its property owners, residents, community partners and visitors, we urge you to support the renewal, expansion and renaming of the cbd. i would like to ask members of our board and several committee stakeholders in attendance today to stand and be recognized. we are out in force with the intent of getting your affirmative vote. i would especially like to thank couple members of the community who have tirelessly assisted us in our efforts to achieve this renewal. the chair and the board of directors, members of the cbd renewal committee, mjm management, major property owners, including filmore center, represented here and at western commercial properties. last, but not least, i would like to recognize the community at large, which has been supportive in shaping the agenda and holding us to a high level of accountability. in the film more jazz district, our neighborhood transformation continues. as recently as five years ago, we were a place rich on history but short o

treasurer of the fillmore district, on fillmore street. >> please continue. >> the financial and operational history -- as you are aware, this settles the financial and operational issues, and the current board has worked to overcome the financial difficulties that we have experienced. i would like to share with you a couple of unresolved concerns. i speak regularly with property owners and some have expressed a concern about the calculation methodology, and the use of their tax dollars. how have these estimates been calculated? and how has the annual budget been used to make a difference in their everyday life. these properties represent the percentage of the board. this is perpetual and that the current board those for the future board members. we see this with the decision making and the resource use. i would ask for you to instruct fell more to do the following. taking the opportunity to hold the election which allows all property owners to vote on the full commission, giving the board members a greater chance to affect this. they should hold property owner meetings, to discuss the metho

the western addition, the fillmore, would not be the same without the african-american community. san francisco would not be the same without the black people. i will just ask you respectfully to support that. it is very important. thank you. >> thank you, everybody. for those of you in line, we only have a few minutes left. somebody is going to get cut off unless you are 20 seconds apiece, please. >> this is about 20 seconds. i have a question and comment. is anyone looking into the city's material waste and inefficiencies? my last 10 years in the department of social services with my conservation program saved millions of dollars. this kind of program needs to be citywide. for example, something i have recommended 16 years ago, to charge city employees for parking, has come to pass. it is now reaping $3.5 million in revenue. i have many ideas. i wish somebody would please listen to them. thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker appeared >> hello. my name is karen and i am part of the japantown planning effort. i want to thank the city as a whole for being so supportive of

fillmore is in transition period because a lot of people don't understand that in the fillmore and japanown, for 45 years, this area of our city known as redevelopment e-2 project area was governed by a different agency than by city hall, a redevelopment agency. their land use and zoning code did not comport and did not reflect our own san francisco planning codes. operated by a very different government system in fillmore and japan town for 45 years. that period expired in january 2009. previous to that period, created some of the most significant upheaval in transformation in the fillmore and in japan town. we're now dealing with the after effects of that, where i'm proving legislation that help deal with i think some of the missteps of urban renewal this took place between the 1960's and 1980's. so that's a hodgepodge of things. >> you mentioned key issues with your district and things going on at the city. how will you balance the needs of your district with the needs of the city as a whole? >> i think my district as a microcosm in the city. if you look at the diversity of the popula

"japantown and the fillmore and the lower hate and upper hate -- lower haight and upper haight have benefited from beat officers. once the community, merchants and residents, get a taste of it, they hate when they go away. there have been long relationships between communities, such as the ones i mentioned, and beat officers. they keep feeling that they keep getting yanked. it is making people very frustrated. the second question is that there has been a great amount of emphasis, as well as you and i know, and try to help our youth of this part of our city. suggestions have been made that we are missing the point of young adults, especially over the age of 21, maybe 25. there's a population of young adults were the city and city services is just missing them altogether. there's an overemphasis of youth in this area. what can we do to expand our particular reach? beat officers, and talking about that population of people who are not getting the attention they should be reaching mr. mayor, you want to start? >> i have -- we have been here all day in district 5. first of all, i don't think that

the folks that are standing out on the streets as we observe today in fillmore and other places, we are not sure whether they are job-ready. we have to get an assessment of what it means for them to get job-ready. that is part of the reason why we invest in our workforce development and the programs we are investing in our training and pre-apprenticeship training programs. we are working with unions in addressing that. we do have some programs to address it. those individuals, as of today, we are paying attention to the more. we will get some assessment going about those individuals and try to get an engagement process going to find out why they're hanging out in corners and what we can do to engage them, whether it is jobs, training, or education. >> as far as the foot beat, i generally speak citywide, all 10 district stations have foot beats. in the northern district, we have run some permanent foot beats. we run our violence reduction foot beats as well for public housing. we have the continuity of the same patrol officers in the same sectors that are required as part of their drivin

in this vacuum in japan town, there was the fillmore district with african americans and a variety of other people and they moved into the community. and then japanese americans get out of camp and they come back to their neighborhood that has been populated and made into a different life and different world and what happens when those two communities overlap and intersect? whose place is it, whose home is it? who is an american? how do we sort of coexist in this post war period where the people from that community are by and large marginalized, yet you have this whole kind of other thing happening where it's -- the war has been won, this is like new things, television is happening, advertising, this whole advertising thing is happening. so you have these marginalized peoples and what happens, is it possible to develop a kind of at that moment a cross-cultural community? is it possible to have kind of a multi cultural community that emerged from that moment? and so, in particular, that's what i wanted to explore. and part of the back drop is there was this extraordinary jazz scene hap

we have watched a good portion of district 5 in the fillmore, in and around the area, and i have to say how ratifying it was to be with the mayor in the fillmore, talking about truancy, talking about public safety, talking with da gascon, and we want to get down to brass tacks issues, not as public safety, but the root causes of job placement, giving our youth something to aspire to, giving an adult something they can turn to, being able to reach out. that is what tonight is part of. it is not just but district 5, but citywide. we are facing the fifth year. there is a chronic budget deficit, or fourth year. it feels like the fourth year. we have navigated the budget in previous years. the difference in those years, there it is federal and state help. those deficits were considerably more than the local deficit we are facing now. the difference is that safety net that we would sometimes depend on from the federal and state government is not there now. san francisco is very much on its own. i have a hope and confidence that san francisco, for the partnership of the mayor's office and the

it does not matter if ibm in district 10 or the fillmore. i am still sicker than other parts of our population dealing with these illnesses. we are dealing with the black coalition on aids. if the way the contracts are designed, it is indeed someone from the fillmore comes over to get services, we are not supposed to give the services because of the way the contracts are designed. i just think we need help with things like that. last, but not least, and i really want to emphasize this -- bca has been around for 25 years. this will be the first year that we will not have hiv prevention services for our community. that is just unacceptable. i need help. supervisor cohen: i need you to get to the question. >> i did. all three of them. you know, can we get some help around the budget that looks at social capital? can we get some help that brings together all of our programs across districts? and lastly, my agency, can we get some help providing hiv prevention services to the african-american community? [applause] >> very quickly -- kurt you will

it is at the corner of sacramento and fillmore. the yellow area would change to this blue area for the commercial district. it would result in a 400-foot swath on both sides of sacramento st., both sides would be the same, and it would not change the height at all. the lot is in between an existing one-story commercial building on fillmore street, and the san francisco housing authority would like to live with us this under-use property. this gives us the opportunity for a mixed-use development in the future that the diversified commercial and residential uses in this area. it would not negatively impact the district, and the re-zoning would equalize the ncd district. the commission recommended approval of the section on february 24 of this year. i am available for questions. supervisor mar: colleagues? seeing no questions, are there any members of the public like to speak? seeing none, public comment is closed. colleagues, can we move this forward with a positive recommendation without objection? >> we have the committee report fo

where i really hung out was at the fillmore.hat was my university, checking out be the king, and james brown, a cream. finding out how they were able to penetrate people's hearts. with their music. once you do that, something happens to their eyes. they become brighter. they start crying, they do not know why. they start dancing. it is like when a woman gives birth. =mmfirst, she cries and then she laughs. later on, she dances.

. >> my family got moved out of the fillmore into bayview hunters point back when redevelopment was the old redevelopment, and they were proclaiming to do all of us some justice. they were going to tear down the old houses and replace them with new houses, and everybody bought into that dream. does it surprise you that they admit that the whole reality was to get so many black folks out of the fillmore? because folks was means wanted to move in. >> they get a lot of grief for that, but the reality is we were part of a larger national federal initiative. in terms of the work that we do today and work we have done over the last 20 years, we have been the leader in terms of producing affordable housing. that is a document to the fact. >> we actually want redevelop. we want to see our house is remodel, kept up. poor people do not necessarily because they are poor want to live in dilapidated broken houses. these folks are dying to have their houses repaired and 6 so they do not have these issues. they are fighting to hold onto old, raggedy houses. you know why? because they know what rebel m

a second category of questions, there are a number of businesses in the fillmore and in japan town, small businesses, that are struggling to stay alive and suffering. what can the city do to help those businesses stay afloat and be able to really endure this economic downturn? what kind of help can they get from the city to turn around some of the depressed times? maybe mr. mayor or mr. wagner. >> thanks. i will touch on the revenue issue and turn it over to the mayor. there are a lot of initiatives that we are pursuing aggressively on the revenue side. some of them are traditional revenues. some of them are revenues you would not necessarily think of when you think of pursuing revenues. as greg from the health department said, we have been very aggressive in pursuing new ways to drawdown state and federal money. over the past two years, this year included, we will be able to say that we generated an additional almost $200 million in federal money, part of that from the stimulus, part of that through programs in the city, to help prevent cuts to our local services. so, we're being very ag

i want to say chinatown is like the fillmore, like the mission, these places in the city that make up the city. that's pretty much all i have to say. god bless you all. >> thank you. we're going to answer a few of the questions before andy gets up. the gentleman from c.p.a. in terms of the revenue ideas, there's a debate as to what's progressive revenue, what's not. but anyway, having said that, we have been studying ways in which we could potentially raise revenue in the city, ways with which we can reach agreement with the board of supervisors and potentially the public. what's been the most challenging is that most of the ideas that we've had so far will require a two-thirds vote of the members of the public. and in doing that, there is very slim chances for a lot of the ideas to go forward when you acquire those two-thirds vote, because that's what the state law requires at this time. having said that, too, we have idea that might be on the border of progressive. the governor has proposed they pass taxes at the state level to extend, but there seems to be a viewpoint that perhaps

lopsided of fact that absolutely undermined the potential for a good emergent corridor like the fillmore. as land use restrictions that we had passed will not allow for that to be permitted in the future. i am extending the same ever to japan town, is struggling area, one of three remaining in the united states, also has suffered from adverse effects, the development and urban renewal. there are those that want to have a storefront office space and denied the opportunity for mom-and-pop retail to be there. that does not do anything for a proper boy. like for them to correct the planning code now that it has reverted back to us as 2009, amending the section of the san francisco planning code to prohibit a medical service used for service used on the ground floor in the area, and the japan out special use district in making environmental findings. supervisor campos: thank you, very much. let me wish everyone a very happy right week. another of the many facilities throughout the rest of the week and will afford to the pride parade this sunday. i have one item, let me thank the supervisor fo

but i know some boys who would love the music program, but they are not going to come to fillmore all the way and risk their lives for something they really really, want to do. it's the areas. put it in suburbs where everybody can go to it. >> or, i notice they are building a police station. you will build a police station but not a community center. >> we are getting concrete examples here. >> did you want to respond anything before i go to questions? >> this is an issue where all hands need to be on deck. we are in a crisis. we all have to be held accountable at every level to have all hands on deck. we have the obliteration of our young people. homicide is the leading cause of death. for the period we have been in iraq. there are have been 4 thousand casualties. this is a program in our own back yard. we need the city coordination to insure we're having the coordination. >> can't we have a meeting, call it whatever you want, maybe your organization. you can coordinate. is that something that can be done? we are talking about community input. doing thing for a particular community.
