then to the fillmore center, whose own has a desire to see all the tenants in their building be displacedy then be converted into condominiums because of the agreement they thought they struck with the redevelopment agency. it's not an agreement as supervisor i would honor, so we stopped that from happening and now there's a lawsuit in pursuit right now. based on the consequences of those interest comes the byproduct of the fact that they don't want to be partnered to something known as the cbd. i say thank you to all the stakeholders who tried to make the best of a situation they inherited, not cost. that sends a strong message back to the city that if you want to help answer the question about how to make cbd's work that are in a community, a diverse community but one that the african-american community, speak to the larger concerns about the out-migration of african-americans and speak to the concerns that stem from the legacy of redevelopment. that will get down to some of the core philosophies of what works and what doesn't like a cbd in the fillmore. as of the basic mechanics of som

it was listed at the time as the oldest redevelopment area in california, the fillmore, san franciscohas no information about san francisco. you hear about the state redevelopment and how much you need it. even supervisors here -- even in the legislation that was passed the day of changing to new successors, you mentioned all the other projects, except the one that did the most damage to the african-american community, which is the fillmore. as you see -- i was the only person there from the city and county of san francisco. we need community participation. thank you for doing that. but ladies and gentlemen, not one word today had anything to do about citizens or our community. i am appalled. but i am not going to say much to you all. because ♪ at city hall it gets so silly, y'all right here at city hall, it gets so silly ♪ i am telling you, because i have been up in it. we will have a community meeting with our supervisors at the northern police station friday. thank you. president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> thank you, president tchiu ad members of the board. my name is david

before we proceed, i do understand that the fillmore community benefit district results are in. why odn't -- don't we go back to items 38 and 39. could you please announce the results? >> voting for the fillmore was 33.83% and the returned weighted balance voting against was 66.17% indicating there was a majority protest. president chiu: given there was a majority protest, could we have a motion to table this motion? supervisor mirkarimi: motion to table. president chiu: is there a second? can we take this without objection? without objection, this item is tabled. [gavel] with that, could you please call the second 3:00 p.m. item having to do with the cell phone protest at 3901 mission street? >> items 40 through 43 comprise a special order of people interested in the planning commission decision conditional use authorization on property located at 31 -- 3901 mission street. approving the planning commission's decision to approve the authorization. item 42 is the motion disapproving the approval of a conditional use authorization on item 43 -- 43 is the motion directing the prepa

that was clearly one of the issues. fillmore jazz festival will development issue was going to happen whether or not the entire redevelopment issue in california change because that redevelopment area closed down anyway. >> you indicated that there was a thought about what the alternative was. what is the alternative agency for responsibility of these lights? >> it is not clear. typically, if it is a redevelopment-sponsored project, redevelopment manages the pedestrian lighting component and looks to hand it to a city agency. they are looking to hand the existing pedestrian let's, as the general manager mentioned, to us, and we have said no because we have not received the guidance we need from you on that question. another potential candidate department would be dpw because they are otherwise responsible for aspects of the street. >> i have read through all these options, and it seems in the interest of efficiency and decision-making and being able -- consistency of look and feel -- it just makes the most sense for pc to take t

[applause] on the board of supervisors, 11 of us, eight of us, eight members of the board of supervisors are people of color. this is true representation. but what has laid the foundation of the great muscle that has made san francisco well known in its reputation as being forward thinking also obligates us to answering the other questions some of the chals that i remarked on especially as it concerns the african-american population in after. i'm not so sure that the numbers really have dropped to 3.%. that's a quick drop from 6.2 two years ago. but whatever the case is, that decline in population is a healthy reminder t

we have been in this market for over 40 years during the fillmore and other venues. most recently provided great 49ers event with to montana. -- joe montana. with several personalities. these are not names that strike fear in the hearts of people of san francisco. these are special events. we have improved communication with the neighborhood providing updates. over three years we have passed on business. we felt the events might be right for the neighborhood and the venue, we felt the neighbors might not think it is right for the neighborhood. we have taken a conservative path. most recently were asked by a church to do in eastern band and after communicating with our neighbor across the street about that being their most important day of the year, we bypassed a significant financial opportunity. we wanted to be a good neighbor. we said no. we provided consistent rules and management since 2010. we have abided by the rules that were set forth by you even after those rules and the c.u.p were deemed void. we provided security and a cleaning presence in the neighborhood.

we have upper haight, lower haight, the fillmore, inner sunset. so i believe that small business viability something that's very critical to job creation and retention in district five. and obviously other districts in the city. i hope to work with supervisor mar on some of the legislation that makes it easier for small businesses to survive here in san francisco. some of the issues that i'd hoped to prioritize, in the western edition for the past couple of years we've seen a transition from the western edition as a redevelopment area. i know that we will see the disillusion of that agency period but to one that fell into the planning department. so i'm hoping to work with the mayor's office. i haven't yet spoken with them. to actually create some meetings between planning and the community, to discuss the future of planning and development there in the western edition area. i believe that's an issue that we really do need to highlight a little bit more. i happen to ride muni so as a muni rider i realize there are a lot of issues related to muni th
