Ours had the addition of some resolved statements that were tailored to health and programs. On behalf of my fellow commissioners i want to acknowledge the critical work of the commission and their staff along with members of the Community Group mega black sf. And develop the resolution of the same name that was approved of the commission and all the hard work and energy they put in to creating that resolution. The commission is very proud of the resolution that contains some measurable outcomes to achieve equity and combatant eye black racism. It was apparent that there were some issues with respect to the development of the resolution and the process by which the commission approached the discussion of this item. Last week the secretary and Staff Department of Public
For you. Mark, can we back up to the slides on the reproduction number. One second. Oh no, its okay. Give me just one second to back up to that. Those are very concerning numbers. We see if we reduce the reproductive number by a third, we hold steady at the same number of hospitalizations, but wed still see as many as four times of deaths here in San Francisco. But if we continue on this same scale, we could see deaths up to 800, and number of hospitalizations, 1,000 to over 3,000. That could clearly overwhelm our Hospital Systems. I know weve seen footage of people gathering in dolores park this weekend, and the possible impact that could have. Could you just speak to what kind of effect that behavior could have, not just on our people, but our ability to serve the health care needs. Yes [inaudible] i thi. Dr. Colfax i think its really important that we stay vigilant and do what we know works to stop the spread of the virus. That includes not going to large gatherings, and on beautifu
Balboa reservoir project. If we look at what the current status quo is swr have a massive parking lot across from a mini mart. Be spent years coming up with a proposed solution that would have over a thousand homes, half of which will affordable and subsidized. If you look at where these people may be currently living some of them may be crouc may cd make a life here. I strongly support this project.

It is unfair for the settlement to occur on the tenderloin and leave others. This is not a question of poverty. There are 1600 unhoused. I think there needs to be a grand solution for such people. They need our assistance but these residents here on Willow Street have been suffering with not just them dwelling on the streets but there is a lot of disturbances, noise, crack addiction and all sorts of looting and garbage eve everywh. It is unhealthy to be here. That settlement should extend to all tenderloin not just the 300 tents committed to. Thank you. Please connect us to the next speaker. That completes the queue. Thank you.

Standpoint when slavery ended with the 13th amendment and soon after the chinese communities were excluded from entering the countries due to the chinese exclusion act of 1882. In rent history the black community was red lined to the out skirts of the city. Japanese americans were sent to internment camps. They have been targeted and most recently the newly latin students. The trauma continues to exist in our communities today. This is not the america we envisioned but this can be the San Francisco that we need to correct the wrongs of history.

The institution of slavery broke up families and matched away the opportunity to create wealth and build opportunitying from our families from generation and generation. We are ex
