the women's caucus and i thank you. my daughter isabella, who many of you saw dancing in the park, i told her i was coming today and she says what her grandmother does is to eat, go to school and play, which is exactly what you all do as public service and what we do in pursuing life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. thank you for what you're going to do in taking the democratic vote to take us down on behalf of all children to eat, go to school, and play. >> any other public comment on this item? >> i was not aware of this but i think renaming this streak is a very good idea.

remembering this woman for her fantastic work beyond her life. we are making a statement to future generations. i'm just one lone person. i had to go to her office in d.c. and she pushed it through in 15 minutes. i tried to get the murals away from your control because you have been negligent. i think nancy pelosi for her work. as she really in said, [unintelligible] >> thank you. >> before you make a motion, i

wanted to add that 10 members of the san francisco board of supervisors as well as the city's entire delegation in sacramento are supportive of this and you will note that in your packet. >> thank you. >> is there any other public comment? seeing that no other public comment, public comment is closed. >> before i entertain a motion, i want to say it was the mayor's office that contacted me and asked if this commission would consider waiving their own policies in this matter. while i told the mayor's office there's no guarantee in the public process that we could guarantee with the vote would be that i would encourage the commission to take this up. as to the issue of the naming, the celebration we had in golden gate park with the mayor announcing his asking the commission to do this. this is the public comment and

the due process to hear all sides and we have heard all sites. we encourage that and i think you get a sense from earlier testimony that people are not afraid to tell us their opinions and we are used to getting them. with that, i was there in the balcony when nancy pelosi became speaker of the house and i can say that never was very proud moment at a san francisco native than to see that moment. she does us all proud. i think without offending the entire congress, she is the smartest and hardest working member of the congress. she is constantly add it on every front and as you heard today from many segments of the community, i can think of nothing more appropriate than putting her name between martin luther king and john kennedy. with that, i would entertain a

motion. >> i would like to move that. >> there is a motion and a second. did you want to say something before we vote or after we vote? >> there was a lot of thought that went into the location. this was not by accident. the executive director of the national aids memorial grove spoke about the location and is a location nancy pelosi spearheaded and made a national memorial. as recently as 1996, it was a place that was incredibly neglected in golden gate park. it was overrun and through committee members and the memory of one of the greatest public health tragedy's this country has faced, the aids memorial grove is one of the most beautiful spots within golden gate park. it is a national memorial, akin

to the vietnam veterans memorial, about rushmore, the u.s. arizona at pearl harbor, which are also national memorials. naming this street after nancy pelosi and honor of her effort and work for the committee to make that cite the beautiful living memorial is is extremely appropriate. >> we have a motion and a second. all those in favor? all opposed? hearing none, it is unanimous. [applause] >> we are on item number seven, o lord of job order contract for capital projects. -- toward a job order contracts for capital projects. >> commissioners, and a director of capital and planning, this is

a very brief item before you today, we would like to ask the commission to award the last of the contract -- we would like to award it for up to $1 million for job or contracts. this is a licensed contractor which means they have brought contracting skills as opposed to a be licensed focused warm buildings. these contractors will comprise our job order contracting stable as it is and we will be able to solicit projects as we need projects that are over $400,000 requires the signature of the general manager and we have attached for your reference about two years' worth of examples of the types of

projects we have completed through job border projects if you are curious and like to see the range of those projects. this took a little bit longer because when we have contractors bidding, have to check their contracts and that's why this was delayed beyond the other two. we do have the lowest responsible bidder now. >> thank you. >> is there any public comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> move to approve. >> all those in favor? the item is approved unanimously. >> we are now on public comment. members of the public may speak to matters that do not appear on the agenda.

>> i am a third-generation san franciscan and i am the founder and spokesman for the depression preservationists. i am an artist and i live in northeast. i know a lot of the artists that it does frescos up there. we have come to an not spot here. the gardners to a wonderful job that we made the garden tasteful again and you have the money to do great work, however there's one small category you are invading into the culture. that is when it comes to fine art. i don't believe that iraq and park commission is qualified or motivated to foster and teach

the message with the mess our work. they told these artists we will pay you a dollar an hour and some of these -- everyone was involved -- they could not say mussolini is coming or hitler is coming -- within 150 yards, we have people sleeping on boxes. we don't want to go to war. we can do any thing in california. we have avocados and there's a hidden innuendo here, that's my department. the murals should be a museum and i believe rec and park should the longer on them. i believe recon park should allow her banished them. -- rec and park should no longer

manage them. most people wait in line. [unintelligible] i'm fighting on all corners. i'd just left the mayor's office and of going to the planning commission, but this will be a museum in my lifetime and i respect the work you do. art is for the artists and and we are the ones that are going to explain it fluently to san franciscans and americans and to our guests. i found some interesting results. i was finishing might geology degree and i'm trying to do my own preliminary and it's

interesting and we will work well together. thank you. >> is there any other public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. we are now in closed session and we ask members of the public leave the room. sari -- is their public comment on the closed session? -- sorry. seeing none, public comment is closed. >> do we go off camera at this

point?

>> moved and seconded.

>> i would like to entertain a motion to not disclose the closed session. moved and seconded. all those in favor? >> item 10, commissioners matters. >> no commission matters? any public comment on no commission matters? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> new business? commissioner harrison? >> bill wilson's comments earlier -- with the speed the appropriate time to put something on the agenda regarding that issue?

>> not yet, commissioners. i think there is still more work to be done on our acquisition. the public comment about the india base and was well taken and i think should be opportunity prove itself available, there is obviously something that's an important part of our southern open waterfront and open space and a great opportunity in that area, but there is of little bit of work to be done on that particular property and understanding exactly what our acquisition opportunities are. there is no question this will come back to the commission.

certainly at the committee stage and full commission meeting, as in all likelihood, there would be an information and discussion. but i don't think it is right just yet. >> is there a time frame that is important? >> there is no looming deadline that i am aware of. i do know the folks at the noe valley town square, i think it was pointed out there were going to have to raise a heck of a lot of money to show they were going to be able to participate in this process and i think they are in a fund-raising stage right now. but there is nothing imminent on the open space horizon. i would have -- i would be happy to talk to mr. wilson about it offline. >> i know that staff has been

exploring different opportunities for renovating lincoln park golf course. what i would like to ask is what are we looking at putting that item before us in terms of changing the month-to-month lease to a more permanent lease? a more long term lease? along those lines, what are we doing in terms of addressing some of the renovations that have to occur there as regards to the irrigation of that course? i would like to know when we can expect to be dealing more

addressing some of the issues related to that of course. >> we have tried to approach our golf course issues some was sequentially and we're still in the process of working through an expired lease at golden gate park. once that is resolved, in all likelihood, it would be the work plan for this coming fiscal year. i cannot tell you when we're going to move forward. i think it depends on other property management issues that we will be dealing with in the coming year, so i will keep you up-to-date. >> our projections up to this point -- >> between july -- that would be the time to take on the expired lease at lincoln.

>> it is either fish or cut bait. >> no mulligans. i would be interested in getting involved in that issue as well. and the other commission matters? >> is there any public comment on this item? >> a very quickly, the concern about the noe valley square -- they have the fund-raiser on their side and the county $2 million has already committed and it will come from the fund. i will submit to you the article where it says that. as far as i know, they have not been corrected because they -- i

went to their web site a week ago. in fairness to them, they came back from the november 2010 meeting with the idea that because the vote was 11-1 that they have great support. i have no doubt if they go today, they will get that support. my concern is money being spent out of the acquisition fund with no prior prioritization to say this is what we think is important and this is how we are going to use that money to implement that and that is part of the policy. i know because i spent many hours coming up with that. i a understand and i am perfectly willing to accept that it will not happen tomorrow, but if it happens sooner, i will be happier sooner than later. >> thank you very much.

>> is there any other public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. item 12. communications. item 13, a german. >> so moved. >> second. >> thank you, commissioners.
