the john mcmullen house and garden was a boarding care home for people who are mentally disabled, so we not only met those standards, we also met the licensing standards by the state of california to do that kind of work. we did not have any problems with making it handicapped accessible, with having sprinklers or any of that. as a matter of fact, the historic community bend over backwards, and we receive many accolades and awards for those jobs we did. the cadillac hotel currently serves 160 low-income people. they are all on ssi, disability, or welfare. again, the hotel meets the standards. i would like to refute the concerns that this cannot be done. both my husband and i have made collectively $32,000 a year up until 1992. we managed to do all this work under those kinds of restrictions, so i would like you to keep that in mind. i am here to support the retention of historic preservation committee's articles 10 and 11, and i am in complete opposition to supervisor wiener's amendments, which would impose a burdensome hurdle on the designation of future potential historic districts
