the paintings and decals will have the historic design. for those with a critical eye, they will see that they are more narrow, which would be the one thing that will look different. but that is not something that jumps out at you. commissioner levitan: assuming one's eyes are even good enough to be able to see that. i am sure that is just fine. >> the true impact of this change, it is officially the end of my dunking carrier. commissioner levitan: that changes everything. >> the staff really rung their hands over this. commissioner buell: when was the unofficial end? >> it never began, to be honest. >> any public comment? being none, public comment is closed. commissioner buell: entertain a motion. moved, seconded all those in favor? thank you. >> we're now on item 12, hellman hollow and golden gate park,

ocean beach parking lot, public celebration of the life of warren hellman. >> good morning, commissioners. acting director property and concessions management for the department. i have a bittersweet task today of presenting this item to the commission, and i am sure we're all aware, warren hellman passed away last year. the department has been working with don holiday and the long- term promoters and producers of the partly strictly bluegrass festival and hosting a celebration of warren hellman's in golden gate park next month, on february 19. obviously, this has been a fast- moving project over the last couple of weeks, and we have not been able to finalize all of the details.

so we are presenting to you road closures and permits for two locations. both the hellman hollow and ocean beach parking lot. we are requesting that you approve both those closures and sound permit approvals. and delegating to the general manager, the final decision making authority, and we will work with the celebration planners over the coming weeks to determine the final location. obviously in those conversations, we will be working with our operations staff and the fire department and police department and mta and all the relevant agencies to develop the proper id operating and site plans for the final location of the celebration. a word about the celebration itself, regardless of location. it is planned to feature many of the musicians who, over the last 11 years, have performed at the

bluegrass festivals. the anticipated attendance is approximately 8000 people. we will obviously work with the promoter and police to ensure there're opprobrious security plans in place. there will be two stages for the performers to perform, operating at alternating times. at any given time, there will be one stage program, and it will switch back and forth between the two stages. if the event were held in hellman hollow, which is obviously the preference of everybody, but unfortunately at that time of year, we're having even in the park and it can be challenging. the road closures would be portions of john f. kennedy drive, as well as overlooked and middle drive. the road closure would be the

great highway vitrine fulton street and link in -- lincoln way. the sound permit will be between 11:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., with the sound check beginning at 10:00 a.m. with that said, i am a available to any questions. commissioner bonilla: i take it this is going to be a public event. and if such, you're talking about attendance of 8000 individuals. how will you regulate or control who participates in this event? are there going to be tickets? are we looking at fees or will it be a free event, as usual?

i am concerned, because i do not have that information about how the attendance will be regulated. >> absolutely. i think that this is one of the details that we're still working out. it is likely, due to the time of year that the event will be in a tent rather than open air, so that will be one of the controlling mechanisms, the size of the tent. and it will certainly be free and open to the public. over the next few weeks, we will be working on developing a security plan that will allow for people to gain access to the site, an appropriate amount of people. i think that is a conversation we look forward to having with the police department. and should it be a tent facility, we will work with the fire department to make sure we are in compliance with code and make sure we're moving forward with a safe event. commissioner bonilla: yes, my

main concern is that, because of the popularity of this event, we may say and anticipate that 8000 people will go, but the popularity of this type of event and the individual that we are honoring may create a situation where we have a lot more attendance that we planned for, and that may cause problems for us. so i want to make sure that we really do get a good handle on that participation. >> we absolutely share that concern, and i think we have begun talking about a few various techniques to mitigate that. that is sending we will be paying a lot of attention to over the next few weeks. commissioner buell: commissioner bonilla raises some very valid

points. we will keep the commission apprised of how this is moving. >> i think we could offer an update on the planning at the operations committee meeting. and a final update, if necessary, on february 16. the family and the event producers -- obviously, this is a very emotional thing for them. they wanted to do something that was civic. there was a memorial for mr. hellman that was, although widely attended, it was a private memorial. this was an attempt to celebrate his life. they understand some of the occupancy restraints, and i think they're working on some strategies, including live streaming and other techniques to monitor attendance. commissioner buell: given the fact that the private service was overflowing as well, i think it is an indication that the

sentiment of the community around that extraordinary man. thank you. >> any public comment on this item? please come forward. >> good morning, commissioners, general manager. i thought i would come over this morning after thinking about mr. f. warren hellman after all the people talking highly of him. the mere thought highly of him. others talked very highly of him. hear i am, just try to talk a little bit about him. i never met him in person, but i had assignments were i would be on the drug task force, the mayor's office, and know about the free clinic. i was one of the students at uc berkeley, participated in drug abuse seminars training speed up

that is why i kind of like the part about the free clinic, and being a native san franciscan, for a long time we have excessive amounts of drug problems in the county. i wanted to make note of mr. warren hellman's contribution to such a free clinic. another clinical aspect is, i do not think that he is going to be remembered too much in a few years, so i was thinking maybe we can try to bring up something that has to do with his character. things like horseback, equestrian. when you had the name changed to hollow, and right away and thought about washington irving, sleepy hollow, i thought that somewhere along the line, we should be able to direct a very nice memorial for him, such as a

horseman or have a plaque, something like that, because he contributed so much to the county of san francisco. with that said, i do not know whether or not it is doable. then i was playing a little bit on, would it be a headless horseman? [laughs] that was in washington irving. with the second, thank you for listening to my comments. >> is there anyone else who would like to make public comment on this item? being none, public comment is closed. commissioner buell: entertain a motion? >> so moved. >> i want to make sure we approve any and all necessary road closures. a friendly amendment to the motion. but i will second it. commissioner buell: all those in favor? unanimous. >> thank you. we are now on item 13, general public comment continue. i have one card, bill carlin.

>> commissioners, good morning. mr. president, vice president, congratulations on your election. i have come today to tell you some of the things that have been going on in a mclaren park over the past two weeks. two weeks ago to become one of the employees was served with a ticket which involved a $1,000 fine. the employee exploded and turned up at mclaren park at 10:00 in the morning in a fury and in pajamas. there was a lot of yelling, shouting, name-calling, and accusations. there were threats, including threats to life. the police were called. this employee does not want to accept responsibility for her own actions and accused of the people of causing the problem of talking. the crime was not that the law

was broken. the crime was that the crime was found out. there is a perception in the area and among park users that this employee is close to the area manager. this would explain the cover-up which followed immediately. the local supervisor began a process of rooting out anybody who was accused of talking. if you were accused, you are guilty and dealt with accordingly. one gardiner is being transferred out of the park, and one volunteered that has been working in the maintenance yard for two and half years, at the root quest of rec and park, was ordered to not return under the threat of arrest. san francisco animal care and control, san francisco animal welfare commission, and the san francisco spca try to protect the project on which she had been working, but the local supervisor just broke it up and seriously damaged the project. so it stands.

the lawbreaker has been shouldered but not vindicated, and the innocent have been punished. commissioners, i have come to suggest, through management, to the general manager, that one way to avoid such further incidents is to nip it in the bud. replace the area manager. i have known him for many years and have gotten along with them, but i think his authority has been compromised. that is one of the serious basis of all that has been going on in the park. the area manager is not part of the solution. please remit -- replace the area manager. thank you. commissioner buell: i would like to ask the general manager if we can get a report on this from his perspective privately in the future days or weeks. >> please come forward, richard. >> good morning again. i recently tried to address the

issue of what animal " -- animal control welfare has done and the humane acquisition program, so what i am trying to look ahead is a the same type of issue. i spoke of at the last commission. that it would be adopt versus a breeding. the commission has been talking about the sophistications, but one thing i never got too much of is, what are you going to do with the problem in san francisco county? to many animals, over excessive, that type of language. too many dogs, too many cats. so addressing the issue, they tried to speak with the commissioner, who is an officer

with the dogs. he wanted to focus more on the problem, rather than just reading -- breeding mills. i wanted to try to bring in bringrule were there would be only one litter allowed. i wanted to let the people know that that is the approach that they will try to take at acwc, the one litter rule, and there would be facing directly the problem of the access of dogs and cats. and we're having a lot a problem at the parks. commissioner buell: thank you. >> is there any other general public comment? being none, public comment is closed. we're on item 14, commissioners matters.

commissioners? any public comment? being none, public comment is closed. i-215 is new business, agenda setting. is there any public comment? being none, public comment is closed. item 16 is communications. is there any public comment? being none, public comment is closed. we're on item 17, adjournment. commissioner buell: i would like to remind the commission that if we could just have a short moment of silence in remembering a true friend and adjourn in her honor. >> thank you very much. motion to adjourn. all those in favor? >> aye.
