The first focus of the Task Force will be the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood, and subsequent foci will be chosen by resolution of the Board of Supervisors. With each subsequent neighborhood or commercial corridor focus, the Task Force membership will change in order to maintain community-based decision making, and to appropriately fill those seats that have location-based requirements, as described below.
