Id like to have a moment of silence for mayor lee. I was shocked to hear that he passed away. I personally loved mayor lee, his wife, anita, and his two daughters. The last time i talked to mayor lee, it was not a very nice conversation. But id like to have a moment of silence for mayor lee, and for that little 8yearold boy, gabriel, who has murdered by his father because he thought he was gay. So, moment of silence, please. Thank you. Miss canada, and i have a picture, if you can show it on the overboard, please, 100yearold woman lived right across the street from ms. Breed. In my opinion, was taken with a noose from her house and she died. But after she died, she was left in a cold freezer for one month because the family couldnt afford to get her out of storage to bury her. Thats the legacy of lee and breed. No way. Clerk thank you for your Public Comment. Madam president . Next speaker, please. Um, i guess my condolences to the family for ed lees passing. I guess were talking about homelessness again and i have to go back to, who is monitoring in the city and county of San Francisco the standards of care . I i would like some type of answer from city officials. Right now, im under the impression its nobody. They dont monitor standards of care. My other problem is, theres been declared a state of emergency regarding homelessness. When you have a state of emergency, its more intense. I would like to believe that we can get reports as to what jeff kazinski is doing. Is he providing more housing or is he living off the coat tails of what was done . I would appreciate if you would start asking some questions. Im wondering about i guess im just very, very traumatized because im a victim of how the shelters abuse people and get a free pass. The committee doesnt have the tools to properly monitor the shelters. I mean, if a crime happens in a shelter and the shelter monitoring gets it, all they can do is issue a report. They dont have they cant interview staff. They cant get video. I mean, theyre under the whim of clerk thank you, sir, for your questions. Madam president .

Item number one is the resolution renaming the 600 block of stevenson street to oddfellows way to recognize the historic significance of the architectural and cultural contributions of the oddfellows have made to the city and county of San Francisco. Ms. Lopez, on behalf of the sponsor, supervisor jane kim, the floor is yours. Great. Thank you, supervisors. Im here today before you on behalf of supervisor kim, supervising a resolution to rename the 600 block of stevenson street to oddfellows way in recognition of the oddfellows order which are on that street and doing a lot of giveback. The first high light is the stewardship of the street itself, caring and taking care of the alleyway in an area which is often difficult to care for as well as their arts giveback. As you know, that particular building is not only a Historical Resource center, the Market Street theater and lost district, it would [inaudible] on the interiors of that building. There is a lot of art and history happening right now. Richard perry, one of gentlemen championing the renaming for quite a while, is one of artists in that building along with alonzo lei intersections, king ballet. Theyre very much an art cultural hub in the district and something we want to continue to preserve. This has been an educational moment for me. I have learned a lot about the oddfellows, in particular the terminology itself came from a time where there is a lot of sort of rigid thinking around class structure during the air of industrialization and i learned that oddfellows itself comes from the mixing of social classes and from the mixing of people and so its an organization that is inclusive and open to many and is focused on giveback and charity work. One of the things that they also do is they have our Community Courts there in that building. So, we do appreciate that. That building has also been a partner in our city to deal with conflict in the neighborhood. So we got a lot of letters of support that should be part of your general packet. Some of the letters include some of our former supervisors, including matt gonzalez. And before i take up anymore time at the podium, i know we have quite a few individuals ready to give public testimony so id rather hear from the community rather than myself in terms of renaming of the street. Thank you. And one more thing. In the record, we also have our letters from public works and Fire Department and the Police Department in regards to the renaming. Thank you. Thank you, ms. Lopez. And thank you for that. And while this street and building are in district six, i want to say that richard, a. K. A. Lucky, perry is actually a district three resident and, as you said, ms. Lopez has long championed this on behalf of the iooaf, a storied organization that exists in San Francisco since the days of the gold rush and, as you said, has been really a profoundly important civic organization. Including as set forth in the resolution and the encouragement of literacy. So, with that, we will open it up to Public Comment and ask our first speaker to be richard a. K. A. Lucky perry who is a renowned artist in his own rite and has his art studio in said building. Mr. Perry, please come on up. And congratulations for your dogged determination in convincing the District Six Office and my colleague supervisor kim to for this to the board of supervisors. Thank you for the kind comments. As you said, my name is richard perry. But i just have to make one correction. Its spelled perri, not y. That is something ive been dealing with my whole life so far. So, anyway. Ive been aware of that for many decades. Ok. But i noticed on the thing it says oh, on the screen. Sorry. Got it. Ok. So, with regards to the street naming change and the reasons why, its primarily because of the presence and the contributions that the oddfellows have made to the architecture and to the benefit of the community, and San Francisco as a whole. You know . The cultural and Community Benefits that we provided. Just to give you a brief history, as you mentioned, the odd fellows have been established here in San Francisco for on september 9, 1849. And in 1885 is when we built the building in that section. As a result, though, of earthquake we had to raze that building and sacrificed the building for a fireline. But the contributions that the odd fellows have made just generally is that they had a cemetery here. The column bering was initiated by the odd fellows, a crematorium, library, Literary Club as well as a bank and we have aided the community in many times of distress in many ways. Some of our members are noticeable to the city. Sam brennan, charles deyoung, maynard stanford, geary and samuel hail parker and also wyatt earp was also a member of the organization. Today the membership is wide and inclusive and includes all races, colors, creeds, gender and any Sexual Orientation is invited. Today the building still holds a prominent position in the neighborhoods. We have it is a totally arts related building on the area between 6th and 9th street and i am there, ive been there for over 20 years. There are other artists there. There are writers. Peter seller two is a famous historian and novelist whos written a book about the history of oddfellows in San Francisco. And were actively involved in the community and weve improved the appearance of the neighborhood. I can go on and on. But ill leave the rest of these comments up to the other people that are up to talk. But i thank you for your time and attention and appreciate it. And, yes, i am district three and happy to be there. Thank you, richard. One other thing. We are in the south pole, too. We have there was a man who went down to the south pole. His name is robert swann. And he wore a patch of the odd fellows so now well even down in the south pole as well. I love i. Any other members of the public who would like to testify on item number one . Please come forward. My name is brian schlesinger. Ive been a member of odd fellows for 25 years. As a resident of the organization, i wish to give my whole hearted support for the street change. Since 1885, the order has been a longstanding occupant of the corner of Market Street and stevenson street. Since the time the organization has created greatly to city of San Francisco providing relief to sick, distressed, widows and indin now. Indigenous. An example of this is a gathering for the homeless, mothers, things of that nature. We support that. We support the mission to feed the homeless and we do this annually in churches and during holiday season. We purchase supplies and assemble tube socks and toiletries for the homeless. We have a did versusty of membership of odd fellows. Were artistic and Cultural Building that provides the city of San Francisco a totally artsrelated building. We have a rich history in San Francisco. You can see that by visiting our museum. We also do things for the s. F. Food bank of San Francisco. A large venture which we participate at least twice per year. We also help the children Psychological Center provide assistance to the children directly traumatized by natural disasters. We also donate to red cross, project open hand, salvation army, Harbor Lights program, Homeless Children and network. We plan to be here for a long, long time. Thank you very much. Thank you, sir. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon. My name is Peter Sellers, the building manager of the Odd Fellows Building. Been there 19 years. And have sought through the transformation of that building when it was on its way out. And what i believe and what were not mentioning here is we have 1300 members of the organization here in the city where eight lodges are doing those things that brian schlessinger just mentioned and were doing so much more. We have given to the pets unlimited, the spca, you name it. Aids foundation. You name it, we support those entities. My lodge, number 15, is housed in that building and were committed. We only give contributions and donations in our efforts to communitybased organizations. So we dont take that outside the city of San Francisco. And i ream want to em size the diversity of our organization. Were not the odd fellows of 50 yearsing a, were the San Francisco group that have come together in the name of odd fellows. So, we are we have every representation in our organization. Every representation and im very proud of that. Im very proud of the work we do. To the pasht of taking on what is now stevenson street to ado. Ing that street to kind of keep the hundred or so syringes we pick up each day off of that street. That is one of the biggest nuisances we have. I heard that were all an all arts buildingment were not quite there. We do rent to c. V. S. Pharmacy. We are 80 arts, fraternal organization, nonprofits. 80 and that is if keeping with something i worked out years ago when i was on the Steering Community for the Community Benefits district. That we brought in. So, we are quite active. Thank you. Thank you for your testimony and for your work. Next eke spaoer, please. Hello, my name is pam hag an. We have been in attendance at the Odd Fellows Building since 2002. 15 years now. Our ability to move our studios from the old building we used to be out at 50 oak was we thought it was impossible to do until we met Peter Sellers and were introduced to his building and it became possible to have the full group of people that were part of our organization, move to this new location. Odd fellows are not only doing things in the past, but they are so actively doing things moving forward and the support of arts in the very civic center, the center of the city, a difficult area now and it is beginning to prosper. A lot of arts groups may be finding themselves priced out of the place all together. That is not the case as tenants of odd fellows. Theyre very supportive. We have not only the Performance Company thats actually on tour right now in france, but we also have b. F. A. Program with the Dominican University of california. We have a Training Program for students who dont want to go through a college experience. We have open classes available to both cities. We have Community Programs that we take out to schools both in San Francisco and the surrounding bay area. We have lots of students that come in from our summer program. That we audition from all over the country and people come. Some come from Foreign Countries even to be part of it. So we feel like a strong part of the community. I think they deserve all the recognition they can get. Thank you. Thank you. Next eke spaoer, please. Hello, supervisors. My name is jane. And im here to voice my support for the name change at the 600 block of stevenson to odd fellows way. I am the president of the Homeowners Association of a 250unit mixed use building. Our front entrance is on mission between 7th and 8th. But our back entrance is on the 600 block of stevenson. We walk that way to get to Market Street. Right now this block is a shooting gallery with open, intravenous drug use all day long and it is dirty and frightening. Imagine walking along with your child, a 9yearold, and explain what that man is doing putting a needle into his neck. Around the corner at 7th and market in front of c. V. S. Is an open market for stolen goods and drugs. Were working with the police, the pay your and the odd fellows but that area is worse than ever right now and we need your help to make cleaning it up a priority. They have commited to leading the way on recapturing this block, which we really appreciate with monitors and cameras and cleanup every day. Their Historic Building is beautiful and they have completed a major rehab to enhance it. They keep their Building Full of active tenants to keep foot traffic active and keep the bad things at bay. We like the idea of honoring the long history of odd fellows and think they are deserving that name one block to recognize them and their Historic Building. And besides, now when we call the police, at
