A new article in our winter edition. I hope you enjoy that. I will keep our comments brief. I just wanted to reiterate that we recommend this property be confirmed landmark status. Thank you. Supervisor scott weiner thank you, next speaker. Cmon up. Thank you, my name is karen kai. Im involved in the planning process and Community Activities and i have also been on the organized committee to support the books jimbos bop city building. Supervisor breed, this thank you for your support and for the summary you gave. I think its unfortunate that staff wasnt able to do the presentation but im sure you know how well documented the landmark status is for this building. This has become a very personal campaign, not just because this building is a bridge between japan town which is my community, but the Larger Community in which it sits, the western edition and the fillmore and its the place that has brought us altogether. Im very fortunate to support a group of music. Part of that program invo
Thank you. Anyone wishing to speak in seeing none. Well move on. That will place you under department matters. Directors announcements. Thank you. Just a couple things to share with you. First we would like to welcome bill kelly as the director Citywide Division of the Planning Department. He will be with us at a future hearing as we move to the preservation element. I also wanted to bring to your attention the next Public Meeting for the African American Historic Context statement will be next week on april 24th at the Bayview Library from 7 00 a. M. To 6 00 p. M. At this time we are going to try something different. Its going to be an open style event where the public can share their history as well as have more one on one with planners and members of the City Advisory Committee and the project team. We welcome you along with the Planning Commission to attend the meeting if you are available. And that concludes my items on the directors report. Commissioners matsuda . I have a questi

Mr. Washington . Im very supportive and very happy that the city has gathered in support. Im a resident here all my life 60 years in the fillmore and i have seen the history for over 40 years studying. Im also echoing what is going on in fillmore. The city and county has to be aware that we are in a state of emergency. If they can move on it, the fillmore is what the whole area is about.

Part of that program involves taking our students on a tour of their neighborhood to show them how this neighborhood has been really the United Nations for San Francisco with so many different cultures, with an energy that creates and grows and one of the most important plac
