Good afternoon, commissioners. President highland, Vice President matsuda. I am with the San FranciscoPlanning Department. I will provide you an overview of the resolution. This resolution has been drafted in response to your request to address racial and social equity in our Historic Preservation and planning work. I will share a presentation. As you know, we have a strong team working on this resolution. Alison and shelly, and they have been providing a lot of the details and perspective. This is a resolution that has been drafted at a time when we as the city and as the country are experiencing a major social Political Economic and health crisis. We have lost many lives to covid19. Many times more than many other countries around the world. While we have heard this many times, it is worth repeating on may 25th a Police Officer put his knee on George Floyds neck for more than eight minutes while three other officers watched without stopping this murder. This tragic event triggered major protests across many cities. It hurts not because it was unique or surprise but because it hatched too many times in too many corners of our city and for too many years. Our American Indian people, black people and people of color have confronted our countrys racism for too long. This is not an isolated event. Today we are confronting or government and economic structure that led to this Police Brutality and the impacts of covid19 on American Indian communities and black communities and communities of color. We have a responsibility in our history. I am going to apologize because my computer is not shifting slides. This is shelly, if you would like i can share my screen. I have a power point and pdf ready to go. Now it is working. Sorry about that. You need to share your screen again. We have been struc strugglinh this history for many centuries ago. We experienced genocide and disposition of Indigenous People including todays American Indians. We went through the laundry ordinance red lining, japanese incarceration, urban renewal, predatory relending and exclusionary zoning. This has impacted our communities of color. You can see in the map the impact of covid19 concentrated in neighborhoods where we have a concentration of communities of color. We have experienced displacement and outmigration of the various communities. We have our communities of color have had less access to home ownership, quality education, health care and jobs. If you look at the numbers, right now we have. 3 of the San Francisco population identified as American Indian. This is down from. 5. 53 of inmates in San Francisco county jail are black. 95 of the people who tested positive for covid19 in the Mission District were latin x. More specifically, when we look at our Historic Resources, we need to flag that we have historically underrepresented many of our communities so less than 10 of San Francisco landmarks are designated for the cultural applications with native american, black, asian, Pacific Islanders. Lat inx or lbgk combined. The 5,000 entries on the National History of Historic Places only 2 are black. They made up approximately 1 and 2 of Historic Preservation and conservation students awarded degrees in 2017. Now we are not starting from zero. You have been supporting the racial and social Equity Initiative that was adopted and we are moving to the phase two. That gives us a solid platform to carry some of our work. In terms of general plan, we are bringing this component of racial and social equity into house and transportation element, preparing Heritage Conservation and also addressing Environmental Justice across all elements in the general plan. At the Community Level there are targeted efforts in the cultural district you have been working on, the initiative and housing affordability. There are many level which we are addressing racial and social equity, however, this is not enough. This resolution flags some areas where we can the strengthen ourk everything it is not when we see the communities of color in our Historic Resources. This first slide summarizes some of the bullets originally adopted by the Planning Commission on june 11, and it starts with racial social equity plan strengthening the work to assess budget, addressing hiring and promotion practices and Building Greater accountability through metrics and reporting. We are also calling for policies and programs to address economic and housing recovery from the current pandemic. We are also prioritizing racial and social equity starting with the housing element, which is the first element that we are focusing on. In a broader effort expanding our Community Engagement and increasing funding to ensure that we have Community Representation in the process. There are additional components that were added to this resolution that relate specifically to our Historic Preservation commission in three major areas. There is agraph of research and publication. Completing the historic statements that we have started and creating an inconclusive research and evolution process. In terms of Historic Research designation best practices for preservation of intangible resources, prioritizing legacy designation in under served communities and assessing the resource. You are also calling in this resolution greater access to funding and education and Training Needs to ensure a popular presentation among Historic Preservation consultants and professionals. As the resolution posted we have received comments from various communities, including the American Indian cultural district representative. Those are summarized in this point that flag or ask for more explicit acknowledgment of the land. It calls for the specific harm inflicted on American Indians beginning with compensation. Wwe will be revising and doublechecking the data for the American Indian community and adding more information about the status in youth of the africanamerican Historic Context statement. This includes comments also from one of the contributors to the africanamerican statements. We also received a note from the cultural district in support of this resolution. Karen kai and so this is just a summary of the information we have received. We will be happy to address any discussion or additional adjustments you might want to consider. As i indicated at the beginning, employees are available to address any questions that you might have. Thank you. Thank you. Does that conclude staff presentation . Yes. We should open this up for Public Comment. Okay. Your conference is in question and answer mode. Press one then zero to summon a question. Members of the public this is your opportunity to get in the queue by calling the 800 number and pressing one and zero. You have four questions remaining. Hello, commissioners, i am david woo with the filipino Cultural Heritage district. It is great that you are passing the resolution for the Historic Preservation work and resource and equity recognizing the discriminatory practices. This is the Heritage Housing strategy report and Historic Preservation is being considered as an important strategy and tool. There are many sites south of market including housing and other spaces that are important for the community to protect to sustain the past and current living history. From 2000 to 2010 the filipino population declined from 10,000 residents to 5,000. We need to protect the spaces where they resided. Ththe process of Historic Preservation must be funded. The wealthier interests are the first to be preserved. There has not been a mechanism in place for an equity framework to make sure that preservation can be done at a Community Level. We look forward to seeing substantial and lasting changes made to the mannin planning com. The Community Planning and needs at the forefronts of Decision Making and planning. This presents an opportunity for collaboration to prioritize preservation work that takes an equity framework. We look forward to working together. Operator you have four questions remaining. Caller this is woody from San Francisco heritage. We appreciate the effort put into this resolution and look forward to being a constructive partner as the Department Works witwith positive outcomes. The Legacy Business Program is not highlighted in this document. It is a preservation activity within the scope of the commission. Landmark designations honor and celebrate the past and preserve the physical structures. This may aid in the injustices here and accomplice what needs to happen. The Legacy Program provides direct to the community. I am thinking of the filmore, jazz room on third street, specifically. Included with this resolution should be a call to strengthen increasing funding and streamlining the legacy framework to focus on racial and social equity. It is the completion of the africanamerican context statements. We understand it requires more outreach and conversation with these communities. We encourage to help with that. This draft resolution notes there are steps in the right direct and mention of this commissions long Standing Committee should be listed here somewhere. Heritage is a stakeholder. Preservation has to be inclusive and equitable. There is a lot more to talk about. More importantly a lot of real work to be done. Immediate action beyond the whereas in this resolution. We are here for that, too. Thank you to everybody involved in planning for work on this and for bringing its for ward. Operator you have four questions remaining. Good afternoon. I would like to endorse the resolution centering the preservation on racial and social equity. It is a noteworthy document detailing the Racial Disparities in the city and county and how communities of color are impacted by systematic racism. Api has the resources significant to asian and Pacific Island americans through preservation work. We hosted the film. It was the first held in 2010 and returned a few years ago i
