i have talked to the lush life gallery, which is right next to the fillmore.his is a very important project to us, too, yet it seems to remain separate from an area that we banged on so that it brings a certain level of prosperity and theme to the fillmore community. >> ok, well, during public comment, the chief operating officer of sfjazz can probably come in and talk about their efforts to reach out to the fillmore committee, to give you more insight. supervisor mirkarimi: just so you know, i am moralizing this agreement before me. i cannot do that. i cannot do that. and made it very clear that, you know, they need to -- they need to do the due diligence, and it was not done. i even went to the ground breaking, albeit late, but i went to the ground breaking for this thing. so i have been shadowing this thing from beginning, middle, and to the point where it is now. so has my office on this. >> ok. supervisor chu: thank you. amy, do have something to add? >> if i may, technically, to be perfectly clear, it is only the indemnification agreement that we're seek

i was fortunate to find the fillmore house. my wife and i have fond memories of our time of the house. the level of housekeeping and upkeep is what i have come to expect at hotels. david was quick to reply and was sufficient and helpful. when there were two-month leases, we chose to rent a storage space at a house, where we left our belongings while we went on vacation. i am back in the bay area, and if i am on able to attend it is because of my duty to my customers. i wish i kayhan be there. i was deeply saddened -- i wish i could be there. i was deeply saddened. this place offers an alternative to cold and impersonal hotels or binding contracts. i have met a large number of other occupants and had no problem with any of them. we have become friends and have dinner together. they were gracious to offer to throw a party for our anniversary. i have never felt there was anything wrong with the house, the attendance, or the venice next -- or the management and recommend it to anyone who is considering visiting san francisco. my na

and this is something that is riding on the theme that has come up for 60 years, been part of the fillmore, and it is on the doorstep of our community. i made this very clear to the sponsors of this project. and what i see before me does not reflect the conversation. >> i was just trying to reassure you that action today does not put in stone what is in the community benefits and that we're not moving that forward. so we can continue to have the discussion, and we will represent that position back. supervisor mirkarimi: to why. supervisor kim: thank you. i appreciate the presentation. it is complicated. i appreciated being very understandable. i am very excited about the opening of sfjazz center. i think it will complement what we have, celebrating the symphony, the opera, and the ballet here. jazz is america's classical music, and i think it deserves a center here in san francisco. i do want to be very sensitive to the concerns as supervisor mirkarimi has brought up, and he is much more familiar with the western addition fillmore community. i also want to be sensitive to that, acknowledgi

the fillmore center and safe way. they are pulling back because they don't want to be associated with what may go on. fillmore center has been in control for any realistic purposes since the inception. this has existed and the general manager has been the chair and they have had three or four votes on the board at all times. and now, they and safeway don't want to give their money. not even discussing the millions of dollars that they take out of that community, every day. at one time, this was the no. 1 safeway in northern california. and if you look at that safeway, and i have gone to every safeway in san francisco, every one of them is better cared for. i want to talk about where the responsibility is in that community and the lack of support has been murderous for any of the efforts we tried to handle in our community. they do not support or give back and that is why they're having these problems. the reason you are being put over his unwillingness to support these efforts. >> the next speaker? ♪ i hoep you name t

my meeting was regarding outdoor events in the fillmore, hosted by the fillmore and the lower fillmore. there was a discussion about juneteenth that had problems regarding security. the -- it was an interesting discussion. they are eager to learn about how the city would like them to manage those outdoor events. do you want to chime in briefly? the would-be hopeful. >>-- that would be helpful. >> one is his meeting at the station open to the public and the other is the advisory board residents and merchants to meet, there is also a monthly meeting. i hope more captains decide to do that because i thought it was useful. there were -- was a lot of questions about how the city works and how the process works for permitting, how to file complaints that will have action come out of them. and general education about how -- if it is at the beginning stages of permitting. it was -- there was a representative there. there was the police, the city attorney, and us. i think that everyone learned something. i e-mailed some of the people afterwards. it was positive. anything else? >> no. >> i feel

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

i want to respond to the comments regarding the outreach to the western addition, fillmore, and the jazz heritage area. we have been listening to and have been taking action on the request to reach out further and more closely to those areas. we held a community organization roundtable in may of this year. we invited members of community organizations in to talk about what they might want and what they might seek from the sfjazz and to see how we could benefit in partnerships. representation that that committee -- commended the session that we had, there were members of the jazz heritage center there in the jazz heritage district. and they all thank us for having that open forum, because they felt it was a good step to building the bridges across all the different organizations involved in jazz in music education. and we all promised together to continue that collaboration going forward. since then, we have established in committed to, with the jazz heritage center, a discover jazz series on women. that is going to be held in the spring. it is part of our spring catalog and part of the j

. >> both western addition, fillmore and japantown are amazing neighborhoods. one devs as much enrichment as we can. hayes valley is being reborn as an adjunct of the western addition with the dismantling of the central freeway after loma prieta-aened the reinvestment within hayes valley is now becoming this kind of chic area which i hope disp not lose its populism. lower haight is a wonderful help place, but it has suffered because of crime, i believe, and some of the economic downturn that we have noticed post dotcom implosion. upper haight has always been just a mecca. it deserves collective attention in making sure haight ashbury is not compromised but also an area we want to make sure is accessible for all. cole valley neighborhood, you know, to haight, is a bit of a hamlet, an enclave near the haight, in between there and ucsf and inner sunset. inner sunset, it's just a great swing area. what i mean by that is you just have such a great combination between merchants and residents, mass transit hub, a lower pac heights, certainly wants to enjoy the prosper

i am from the fillmore neighborhood. i came here to check in with supervisor mirkarimi about the 2011 sra enforceable operation payment schedule. this is the document and it is really hard to see. basically, over september, october, november, december, there will be $1.8 million into the fillmore neighborhood totaling $7.5 million. this ordinance is 3106a that was put out by ross. what i want to do is, according to this ordinance, the redevelopment has continued in this neighborhood around housing and to existing covenants, contrast, obligations. also, to redress the demolition of a substantial number of residential dwelling units for moderate to low income. to the greatest extent possible. i wanted to check in with supervisor mirkarimi -- we have a unique situation where the redevelopment in this city is both in the neighborhoods -- i do not see the impact in terms of african american people, people with certificate holders. i do not see the impact. i want to make sure that these funds are being utilized to the very max
