Consent Agenda None. Board Meeting Minutes from April 10, 2014 After minor corrections to the draft, and a call for public comment on the draft Minutes (there was none), the Minutes were approved (M-JL, 2nd-SJ). … continued Castro/Upper Market CBD Minutes May 8. 2014 Executive Director’s Report Andrea presented her report. A City OEWD grant has been approved for $15,000 toward cost of the LED down lighting on Castro Street. The CBD is sponsoring an unveiling of the new USPS Harvey Milk stamp at 5:00pm on May 22 on the MUNI fare gates level of Harvey Milk Plaza. All are encouraged to attend. The Retail Strategy Study RFP went to six (6) potential bidders. Responding proposals are scheduled for review at the June CBD Board meeting. S.F. AIDS Foundation is reviewing the Quality of Life Committee’s proposed questionnaire prepared with the City’s HOT Team. It will be targeted at 100 people apparently living on the street to get information about their demographics, needs, etc. The Merchant Support Campaign during Sidewalks Widening (in partnership with Castro Merchants) is offering a prize package, donated by local businesses.

District Identity and Streetscape Improvement Committee Report As noted above, Item E(d) “Approve History Walk Etchings” was moved forward to this point on the Agenda, to accommodate interested members of the public, and without objection. Scott summarized the project and process for community and board input prior to tonight’s discussion and planned final vote. He thanked several key participants including Ken White, Alan Beach-Nelson, Nick Perry, Bill Lipsky, Dennis Ziebel, Tim Patriarca, Andrea Aiello and all members of the public who submitted suggestions and comments. Discussion, informally and at scheduled public community input meetings, has been very active and thorough. Gustavo re-read aloud the previously-published goals, criteria, and design criteria. The semi-final list of 20 statements was distributed. 18 of the 20 appear to be non-controversial, leaving two for special discussion tonight – numbers 15 and 20. Discussion about #15 centered on whether to include Dan White’s name in the statement. Pro and con opinions were expressed by several board members and then by attending members of the public. Those favoring inclusion of White’s name said it is needed to provide full historic context and to clearly confirm his role as Milk’s killer. Those opposed said including White’s name adds to his undeserved credibility and is offensive and hurtful to many who recall and experienced the killings. Proper use of the term “assassin” in the statement was questioned and will be reviewed. After extensive discussion a motion was made (M-JL, 2nd-PSch) to not include Dan White’s name in the statement. There was a call for public comment on the motion; there was none. Then, the motion was approved. Discussion about #20 concerned whether this statement (noting the California Supreme Court’s 2013 decision allowing same-sex marriage in the state) is relevant. Those favoring it noted that the 20 stops in the Castro History Walk represent steps thru time, ending in the recent Court decision, and the same-sex marriage debate, often centered in The Castro. Opponents noted that the same-sex marriage fight has occurred on a much wider landscape and that the Court decision has a much wider impact. After extensive discussion among board members and then from public comment on the subject a motion was made (M-JL, 2nd-TP) to include statement #20 as shown in the draft distributed and discussed this evening. There was a call for public comment on the motion; there was none. Then the motion was approved. A motion was made (M-JL, 2nd-JB) to approve all 20 proposed Castro History Walk statements as shown in the draft reviewed tonight (except for possible revision of “assassin” in #15, noted above). After board discussion and a call for public comment on the motion (there was none), the motion was approved. Other items in the DISI Committee Report are reported later in these Minutes. …continued President’s Report None (President absent). Castro/Upper Market CBD Minutes May 8. 2014 Board Announcements Pauline reported on a recent Gay Youth Convocation she attended at the LGBT Community Center. It focused on the broad topic of “what gay/bi/trans youth want in District 8.” The group was diverse. Responses centered on topics such as affordable housing, education, healthcare and suggested solutions. Youth should be better represented on City commissions and panels. The LGBT Center wants to explore further collaboration on the topic with Castro CBD. After Board discussion, there was a call for public comment on the item; there was none. Pauline will forward the contacts to Andrea. Tim said that Castro Country Club (clean and sober space) is reopened after extensive remodeling. Board members are urged to support the new cafe. The former Superstar Video space at 470-474, planned clinic and meeting space for S.F. AIDS Foundation, has received permits and construction is beginning. The adjacent Blush! Wine Bar will be closed July-August because of that construction. Gustavo added that an immediate and urgent issue has come up related to the AIDS Healthcare Foundation’s proposal to move into 518A Castro St. The CBD has been asked to join as an appellant, to the appeal to the Board of Appeals re: the AIDIS Healthcare Foundation’s move into 518 Castro St. The appeal is to ask the Board of Appeals to rescind their decision to allow the AIDS Healthcare Foundation to move into the old Under One Roof space without a public hearing/conditional use process. They have been allowed to skirt the formula retail rules because they have changed the store’s name to Castro Pharmacy. This is against our Land Use policy and therefore it is in line with the CBD’s policy to urge the Board of Appeals to rescind, and the CBD will be joining as an appellant. Finance Committee Report After a call for public comment (there was none), and a motion by the Committee (no second required), Minutes of the Finance Committee’s three meetings on October 21, March 12, March 26, April 22,were approved by Committee members attending. A motion was made by the Committee (no second required) to consolidate the CBD’s bank accounts (currently at 3 different banks) into an account(s) at Wells Fargo Bank, in the name of convenience and efficiency. Account rates and terms generally are competitive with other banks. After board discussion and a call for public comment (there was none) the motion was approved. Dennis then reviewed a preliminary Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2014, and a preliminary Profit and Loss Statement for July 2013-March 2014. Results generally are as budgeted and expected. There was a motion by the Committee (no second required) to accept the statements.

  • A Martyr in the Archive: the Life and Afterlife of Harvey Milk's Suit
    A Martyr in the Archive: The Life and Afterlife of Harvey Milk’s Suit Jordy Jones ‘If a bullet should enter my brain, let that bullet destroy every closet door.’ (Harvey Milk, from audiotape to be played only upon the event of his assassination) What is writing? Staining sheets. While e´criture is understood as operating on a symbolic level, the physical act of mark-making is grounded in materiality. Ink on paper, cum on the bedspread and bloody clothing of all sorts share the pull of the gaze. These things, like all things, look back. The psyche, being invisible, keeps its secrets better than the body, but it too leaks, and it also peeks. The writing, the writer and the written are not so discrete. They overlap. The writer is as much a text as the written. Sudden exclamations can interrupt the most banal texts. ‘Bang!’ When Harvey Milk declared that the fatal bullet should ‘destroy every closet door,’ he was advocating a very specific course of action associated with an entirely hypothetical scenario, which, in fact, came to pass. In retrospect, the words seemed prescient, their predictive, productive, performative character lending fuel to the eventual mythologizing of the man Milk. Roland Barthes asked whether ‘for some perverts the sentence is a body?’ (1975: 51) Nearly four decades later, this question has lost much of its novelty. The sentence is, or can be, a body. The relationship between the body, the world and the word is always already technologized. The body can be a sentence, or an entire text, or an accumulation of texts.
