[applause] >>> i introduce students to frida kahlo every semester. a student who is the president of our associated student's council spoke at the press conference when supervisor norman yee announced that frida kahlo way had the most votes. as a middle eastern student, he said phelan would have been no friend to my people. he loved that frida kahlo spoke for the indigenous people and for all poor people and against those that have exploited them. to me, it is also a romantic story. because the mural of diego rivera, the love of frida kahlo's life, as you've heard today, will be installed in the performing arts education center to be built on that street. i'm going to end withwo quotes from local newspapers, opinion pieces. the first is from the crusader. a high school student newspaper. >>> let june 11th be the day we take another important step on a path to a just society based on the principle of inclusion. it celebrates creativity and compassion. thank you so much.

and then frida kahlo was the fifth name that was put out there. they said we've been thinking about this for a while and this is what we've come up with. let's just do it that way. if you -- i just want to put it out there and make sure everyone knows we're doing this. and whether the issue of somebody saying it's a business issue, i have no idea. at least that was not my intent. my intent is very clear. i've been clear all along. and i'm sorry that my outreach to the school, i did it with the principal will -- there early on. we invited the school to be part of the renaming council and there was no response, so i didn't know what to make of it. as i was talking to the president on the phone one day, i tried to explain that. it's one thing for me to just invite. i can't force anybody to come to the table. i kept on asking, why are they passing this out. and it's part of their history. it's part of the history of the association next door to phelan. eventually, at a meeting, i was able to bring it up again and talk about it. say, why did we have th

letters up for five years after which it would be replaced with frida kahlo way. i am available for any questions. >> any questions about this? okay. for your information, i have been in communication with city assessors, fore s of the property, they need to eventually ange their date of trust to reflect the new name. she indicated she is more than willing to help the process as much as possible make it as convenient as possible. so, maybe right now, if there are no questions, i would like to take public comment. is that a quake? >> we will open it up for public comment on this item. >> i have a bunch of cards here. >> i'm so sorry. why don't we call up the speaker cards first. >> i have other cards so i will call you as soon as we dwindled down the line. >> well,thfirst speaker please come up? >> deborah fitzpatrick. >> good afternoon. first, i would like to say th i've been a resident for 30 years on phelan avenue. i was interested -- i was interested when you say that he claims that only received seven notices. the gentleman before. he said out of 20 residents,

and names that where, when was frida kahlo. that was a first notice i ever received. so i would just like to say that. i would like to say that i, as a hispanic woma i admire frida kahlo pastas message through her artwork. but do i want a street that i live on named after her? no i do not. first, i feel that this has been a huge marketing ploy. because of the fact that they have a diego rivera theatre, i feel that frida kahlo's name has come up because to me, it sounds like an advertisement. it has been -- i read that city college has proposed a construction for a multimillion dollar arts centre named after diego rivera as well. which would combine her name and therefore that is why they would like frida kahlo pastas name listed on the streets. it has nothing to do with phelan's name. this is how i feel. however,, my problem is here that you are changing one name that you are saying is racist to another person who has a very controversial background. freda calo -- frida kahlo is a proponent of communism -- >> thank you. >> thank you for your comments. >> i have been a
