movement and projects is listed here. the richmond rec center is one $45,000 which gives us a project of just over $501,000. the fund balance that you have displayed in attachment a in the deferred maintenance contingency is $558,000 which allows for a contingency budget line listed here or about 12% for project management contracting fees and any cost variance so in summary our proposal for deferred maintenance for 12-13 is the water infrastructure and the projects i just described plus the 12% contingency for soft costs and cost variance and that pencils out at the $558,000 which is our proposal to you, so the staff recommendation would be that you recommend the

$558,000 from the fy12-13 open space contingency serve to fund these projects. >> thank you. commissioner harrison. >> yeah. i would like to move this thing forward. i want to commend you for the use of this money. this is an excellent use of this money. i think really in the big of things this is what it was proposed to do. i think what you did in the past with the money is excellent. these projects are getting done and i think what you planned for the future is very good and i am very proud of the work you have done and i want to commend you. >> thank you commissioner and we thank the commission for the foresight and action for us to allocate the contingency reserve in this manner. >> thank you. mr. general manager. >> i just wanted to echo deny's comments and thank him for his leadership in putting together

the annual deferred maintenance project list. this was something that an action you took i think in 2009. we came and asked that you allocate 50% of the contingency reserve of the open space fund for annual deferred maintenance program. this had never been done before in park history and we have money to tackle the retaining walls and the less sexy if you will the work in the park system and i want to echo the remarks and thank the commission for allowing us to do that. it's a really good program. >> thank you. public comment? >> is there any public comment on this item? >> yes. >> please come forward. >> good afternoon commissioners, recognize and department managers. an appalling use of the reserve funds clearly they

should go for the rehabilitation of the equestrian stables. that is what we stand for culturally. you choose to ignore that at your own peril. you won't explain who is guiding you in that denial to the most significant cultural park users, and yet sprekels lake. it's deferred maintenance gets snapped up, gets fixed. so what you're telling me is that people that ride horses, that the park was designed for, are not as important as people that go to

the lake. that's so funny. i mean it's just ridiculous you know. william haven hoe and not a lake goer. he was an equestrian. all those streets in the hate ash bury clayton. those were people that got the park bond together. they were equestrians and all of a sudden 2001 comes up and the mayor and i had knowledge of the worse disaster in american history and guess what? you're not riding the horses anymore in golden gate park. i love it. i love san francisco. thank you. >> is there anyone else that would like to make public comment on this item? seeing none public comment is closed. commissioners. >> i would like to move this for approval. >> second. >> moved and second. all in

favor. aye. opposed. hearing none it is unanimous. >> next nine is alioto park and parking restriction. >> commissioners this item is discussion and possible action to establish four hour parking restrictions to be effective monday through friday between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. within the park on el camino del mar from 33rd avenue and extending westward adjacent to the boundary of lincoln park and within the lot in front of the palace of legion of honor and signage to be paid by the fine arts museums of san francisco. fine arts of san franciscos which operates the palace of legion of honor in lincoln park has requested this establishment of the parking restrictions on el camino and the reference

parking lot. these currently used for public parking without restriction and the sites adjacent to the palace of legion of honor. consequently it's these sites that they use for parking when visiting the palace of legion of honor. this depicts the area we're talking about. here is the legion, lincoln park golf course of course and the eastern boundary is here. el camino del mar comes in here and the 33rd avenue intersection of el camino del mar is within the park and extends all this way up the hill to the intersection here with legend of honor drive and continues westward until it runs dead end into the boundary right here, so this is the area of the street parking that we're talk about, and then this being the

legion this area is the parking lot that is directly in front of it surrounding the large fountain. to give you a different look at this let me show you here. i have this screen shot, so this is a standing at lands end looking up el camino del mar going up the hill. this is the continuation up el camino del mar from the intersection of legion of honor drive and down the hill and this is the parking lot surrounding the fountain in front of the liege legion of honor and these are the sites we're talking about and i will return this now to the overall map. over the last several years it's become difficult or increasingly difficult for visitors to park because of the lack of time restrictions, and observations by both the department and fine

arts museum of san francisco have seen this and no turn over significantly impacts museum attendance and creates wider parking problems within the park as visitors attempt to park in those areas where parking is currently prohibited which is all along legion of honor drive and through the lincoln park golf course. the proposed parking restrictions are within the commission's authority and jurisdiction to approve per the code section which is quoted in your staff memo and additionally the city charter gives the commission jurisdiction "all avenues and grounds located within city park land" and i pointed out the referenced section at el camino del mar and the parking lot are within the boundaries of lincoln park. in

2009 a management parking analysis was conducted and along el camino del mar and in the parking lot there are 417 parking spaces. 363 of these parking spaces are along both sides of el camino del mar and 54 spaces within the parking lot that is in front of the legion. this proposed four hour parking restriction at these locations within lincoln park exactly matches the four hour parking restriction that is currently in place in golden gate park in the eastern end which was enacted in 2004 and 2005 with the construction opening of the music concourse garage and these restrictions are no different than those in place at the east end of golden gate park. in request of this they will fund the acquisition of the signage

and its installation. in doing the preparation to bring this to the commission ceqa environmental review is needed but we were given an exemption for the parking and that is stamped and on file with the department. the file number is there in the staff memo. also an mou between the department and fine arts museum san francisco. if you approve this establishment of these restrictions the department and fine arts museums will enter into the proposed or draft memorandum of understanding that you find in attachment b in your commission package and defines roles and responsibilities railroading signage and installation and inspection and

signage maintenance and restriction and enforcement once the parking restriction is established. since any parking restriction the city is considered a rule. we have posted this for the required ten day posting requirement. it's been posted on october 5 on the website and all of the other public noticing site that we post in the city so commissioners if approved fine arts museum will immediately under take the installation of the signage so the four hour restriction is established as soon as practical in support of the next art exhibit coming to the legion which is royal treasures of the louvre and opening this year. they anticipate a large attendance for this blockbuster exhibition and wish to have the parking restriction in place

for the exhibit to enhance the experience and those in the future and mitigate traffic and parking congestion within lincoln park. the support is supportive of this restriction and address the all day parking encroachment in lincoln park and observed by us and the public and the fine arts museum for several years and a source of complaint because of that. the fact that they would fund the signage and installation to address this addresses the resource shortage that has prevented our department from implementing the solution earlier and previously, so the recommendation from the staff to you is approval of the establishment of the four hour restrictive restriction in lincoln park on el camino del mar and within the parking lot surrounding the fountain immediately in front of the legion of honor and san francisco funding for the

manufacture and instullation signage of this parking restriction for this establishment. i have also with me ken garcia and the director of community affairs and he's available to answer any questions from the fine art's museum perspective from this request and proposal. >> thank you very much. commissioner levitan. >> i just have a couple of questions so the notion of the all day parker. i think we have that obviously in a few destinations in this department throughout the city, but in ramping down on the all day parkers who is it that we're going to potentially upset? i assume some of the people are commuters that are parking all days or golfers or all day museum goers? who is going to have the biggest problem with this? >> commissioner i appreciate the problem. it's none of the above. we don't see the

problem from the golfers or the surrounding neighbors. the problem -- i will speak plainly. the problem is from the va hospital and that the terminus there at el camino del mar it dead ends into a walk way or trail that goes up into the va hospital campus, but we worked with the va hospital. they have lots of parking there. they have two large parking structures. well, i have this map of the va hospital complex, and in yellow i highlighted where all the parking is. in addition the va hospital recognizing this problem has recently instituted free valet parking for their patients that come and available monday through friday and instituted through bower's limousine a shuttle and available to patients and staff from various

sites in the city. we appreciate the measures the hospital has under taken but the problem persists and we would like to address from our side of the fence. >> that sounds good. my other question in terms of enforcement and coordinated and what does that mean? >> we reached out to mta on this one and they would have their parking control officer extend -- those who handle the outer richmond streets that are most immediately around the area would extend the patrol through the area. it would not be constant but on a rotating basis and also park patrol who equally have the authority to issue parking citations on park land would also be helping out as well. >> because obviously the effectiveness of four hour park suggest only as good as its enforcement. >> absolutely.

>> great. thanks. >> thank you. >> is there any public comment on this item? >> yes. >> please come forward. >> good afternoon commissioners, recreation and park manager. as usual the most affected people by this resolution will be the veterans, and what a cheap shot to give a veteran a ticket when he goes to park at the va hospital after serving his country and having to deal with this political climate and this yoyo in the presidency and get a ticket for parking at the park. it's ridiculous. how do you treat people like that? i mean the majority of those people they're hobbling on one leg trying to get to an appointment. they're trying to find the easiest parking spot and now you guys are going to moneyize it,

enforce it, constant circling, looking at your tires. that's not what you should be doing. what you should be doo doing is your job and opening up the stables and instead of this enforcement of parking. that's your job. your job is open the stables and modernize the facilities there, to get revenue, but you don't do that. no. it's all about nickel and diming people that maybe got hurt in iraq defending their country thinking they had a park system that worked for them that was worth fighting for. thank you very much. >> is there any other public comment? deny. >> commissioners if i may speak

personally for the public. as a 30 year u.s. navy veteran and actual user of the veteran's administration hospital up there i have no problem with this particular restriction. i am carrying forward. >> thank you. >> thank you deny. >> well, as a vietnam veteran i will entertain a motion. >> moved. >> second. >> all in favor? aye. opposed? hearing none. it is unanimous. >> we are now at public comment and may address the commissioners in the jurisdiction of things that do not appear on the jerndz and didn't make comment on item four. anyone that would like to make general public comment ? >> yes and i would like to have the projector remain on. >> they will put on.

>> okay. here we see an article that came out september 12, 2001, and we see there was a low key early warning about air travel. now what's really interesting about this is the timing. timing is everything, and clearly the timing of the closing of the stables, and the timing of this warning indicate that there was some type of premeditated determination that on this date our park system

would change. we would change so radically and so greatly that nothing would compare to it in 140 years. and so the point i'm making is is that at some point you have to reevaluate what has happened in the past, and you have to balance it with the needs of the present moment, and the needs of the present moment is that you have a very dense population of people in san francisco that need recreational opportunities, and currently they're having to drive out of the city to see those opportunities which creates a large environmental footprint, and that footprint could be reduced by bringing equestrians back to the city which would

also offer a traffic resolution. it would slow down and impede this constant l.a. traffic we're seeing in our city. traffic calming is created by equestrians, and so by getting rid of the equestrians we have seen a complete increase in aggressive traffic and a reduction in the quality of life of san franciscans which is not alleviated by going to baseball games, by going to other events. it can only be achieved by having equestrian activities in the city. that's the way the city was designed. that's the way the city has operated for over 140 years and now we're starting to see the unhealthy

ramifications amongst our individuals from not having these recreational activities, so please think about it. thank you. >> is there any other general public comment? seeing none this item is closed. we are on item 11 commissioner's matters. this item is designed to allow commissioners to raise issues they believe the commission should address at future meetings and this is not a discussion item. >> commissioner low. >> thank you president buell. this afternoon the planning commission will consider an amendment to the implementation plan for the transit district plan. a lot of parks are affected, are referenceed in this proposed resolution. it will be heard this afternoon. i would like to see the department follow the proceedings of the planning commission this afternoon, review the proposed resolution if adopted, and to

have staff prepare an appropriate recommendation and possible draft resolution for the upcoming capital committee next month for the full commission next month. >> seeing no other comment i am sure staff will follow up on that. thank you commissioner. >> no other commissioners? is there any public comment on this item? seeing none public comment is closed. item 12 is new agenda business setting. any public comment on this item? seeing none public comment is closed. 13 is just the communications and 14 is adjournment. >> i will entertain a motion. >> so moved. >> second. >> moved and seconded. all those in favor. aye? opposed. >> thank you very much

. >> okay. well good morning and thank you for being here today. i am from the office of workforce development. we're here in in initiative in placing san franciscans in this industry and following the mayor is ron conway and followed by jewel us trueus and jose and a student at bay cat and the tech of the advisory committee and rhonda simmons the director of the office of workforce development division in owdad. we're going

to hold questions until the close of the program which the speakers will answer those questions and with that mayor lee. >> thank you. good morning everyone and go giants. yeah. [applause] well, let me begin by thanking everybody here. when i first began as mayor i said jobs was the most important thing we could do for people to get and i tell you what less than two years later that is still the most important thing that we can be doing and creating jobs, making people have the opportunity to get them and trained and educated and placing them in the newest areas in our technology industry and when ron conway. ron just arrived and got out of at&t together. we worked together and had a personal agreement if we were

as a city were to help technology we were going to have technology help us, so less than two years later when i first started the unemployment rate in san francisco was 9.6% and last friday we flipd that number in less than two years. [applause] lead my all the industries but most importantly by our technology industry. over 14,000, to 15,000 jobs were technology sector alone so it's right for us to make sure our future, our kids, our returning veterans, our people in their mid-career of their jobs now have an opportunity to really join in this job creating effort, and i still will say it's the private sector working with city government that's going to create the newest jobs for generations to come. today as part of the ongoing month of

orange, month of innovation it's not only a celebration we all declared it innovation month and we wanted to make this announcement today about the steps we're taking for the on going work of tech sf and again it wasn't just a pronouncement that we wanted to create jobs we have to make it work, and there are three elements that make this work for everybody. because still flipping 9.6 to 6.nine still means a lot of people are unemployed. this city won't be successful unless everyone joins in the industry and tech sf is the way to ensure that happens. it is education. it is training and it is placement. those three elements as part of anybody's announcement in program have to be seen all the way through and

this is what tech sf is doing. doing it with some wonderful community based organizations like year up, like bay cat, and bay vat. all three worked with sf city and city government under our leadership with the office of economic and work force development and we succeeded at landing a $8 million grant from the department of labor. i want to thank secretary sois for this opportunity and have appreciation for president obama and it was his idea of stimulating our economy to get these funds and we're going to use it for a long time. we're going to make this a great foundation, so tech sf is about utilizing those funds, creating an association with these technology companies that are creating the new jobs and the new products that come out. asking those technology

companies to help us identify the skill sets, and then working with our educational institutions like san francisco state or city college which we invested on and want to continue their success and make sure there is curriculum developed so the skill sets that they want and those that are really growing and we have in addition to twitter and zinga and sales force we have products like the ones that are newly forming and moving into market street that are coming up. jack dorsi 's company and using the cell phones to we can buy everything off the phone. >> [inaudible] >> that's right. these other companies are moving in. they're helping us transform physically but we're also asking can i get a chance of working in those companies? can i get a chance of doing this? and i want to
