we'll be facing, in the coming years. we talked about the mandated cost block[u&,9- getting some additional dollars from that. and then the budget projections were bleak. they continue to be bleak. so once again, we're not -- we're still in a position where we'll be cutting and modifying and adjusting for next year. giving. >> who's first? commissioner wynns. >> commissioner wynns: i just mandated cost block grant be distributed to all the board members and hopefully at some time in the future we could have a discussion about that, because how this is going to work, this

is another new change to the funding structure. it would be good for us all to know before we do the budget next year, to understand that better, i think. thank you. >> can i just encourage, if you haven't received this, mr. lee, all of the board members we asked for your input on what you'd like to hear. coming up we'd like to do our budget committee earlier rather than later knowing there are additional cuts we have to focus on and to set our priorities. we also have had several discussions around this possible supplemental coming from the city so there will be some discussions around what we're going to be doing to continue to fund what the city is potentially going to be funding. tough decisions to make and we want to do it earlier rather than later. so did you get any feedback from anyone? i'm going to put you all out there now. >> i hate to do this commissioners but no i haven't received any feedback yet.

if it would be helpful i can resend recirculate the e-mail. i know it was at an inopportune time for a lot of you. >> we want to encourage you because it's information like the block grant you had requested, commissioner wynns that helps understand the budget better and will help us make priority choices which we know we will have to do. thank you. >> vice president norton nngetsd i was going to ask the same question about the materials that commissioner wynns asked. >> commissioner -- >> thank you. i just wanted to announce that the city select committee, next meeting is november 29, thursd thursday. >> any other -- commissioner murase.

call tomorrow with nsca about the possible impact of equest ration. but whatever they look like, and if they occur, it would be good for us to understand what that impact might be on us, i think. that's another piece -- something that we're going to need, information we're going to need if we're going to -- before we start doing the budget development in my view, we need to understand these various things. thank you. >> commissioner -- >> i just wanted to announce that the mission education center is having their annual first thanksgiving on friday, and the chinese education center is having their first thanksgiving in america for their students next week on the 20th. >> commissionerh1ñ?ñ?ñ maufas. >> commissioner maufas: you continue to draw out the meeting because it's not yet close to 7:30. thank you. >> we're trying our best.

minutes under public comment. we ask in order to allow ample time for all there is not a conversation going back and forth. to have your public comment and the commission can ask to answer questions afterwards. with that we are on item 2, the president's report. >> thank you. there are a couple items i want to announce and go over. one, we have had a couple ground breakings and completed projects. i want to congratulate the staff. go out and see a first-class facility. they restored a clubhouse and to make sure it got properly treated. we had a great ground breaking of the boedecker park in the tenderloin.

i want to thank the commissioner that. is a true public partnership with the land and sponsors and the state, thank you. to the tune of about $4 million. that is terrific. we will look forward to that project moving forward. speaking of the trust for public land i'm proudly stealing the thunder of part of the general manager's report but last week, for those of you know, the trust republic land is one of the largest philanthropic entities in the country participating in open space, the development of open space areas around the country. they conducted a survey of the largest cities in the country. if my eyesight serves me well, they have a program called park score.

and that is basically where -- this writing is way too small. but they assess the park systems in the largest systems in the country and give them a score based on the condition, proximity, size and scope of recreation and park facilities. san francisco, i am proud to say, came in number one as the best park system in the country. everybody should take credit with that. they presented the mayor and me with an etched park bench, the mayor has in his office, and will have it sitting there just to tell everybody how proud he is of us having the best parks system in the country. that leads me to another congratulatory note, prop b. everybody -- again, everybody. from the mayor to the trust republic land to the board of supervisors, all 11

members to the san francisco port alliance, volunteers and staff, a hearty congratulations. let me inform you of numbers, just to reinforce this. there were seven down ticket ballot measures on the ballot, prop a through g. the park bond received more votes than any of those on the ballot. this demonstrates what we know every time we meet here. everybody loves their parks and has an opinion about them in san francisco and oftentimes never hesitate to let us know what those opinions are. we welcome those opinions. they proved it by turning out 300,000 votes. the bond measure almost received almost 72%, yes.

that is up from 2008. 71.33. it is up 71.99. if there were a valid test about how we are doing with our parking system, we increase the number of people supporting what we are doing here. so i want to send to the staff a real congratulations. i know how hard everybody is working under increasingly difficult circumstances. financially and economically. so to get more votes and more enthusiastic support for what we are doing is very heart ening. [applause] >> yes. finally we were at a presentation at harding. the swap cup will be coming

back. a congratulatory note to the staff. that is a major event with the p.g.a. we appreciate their participation. that concludes my report. >> is there public comment under the president's report? being none, public comment is closed. we are on item number three, the general manager's report. >> good morning, commissioners. thank you, mr. president. it's been a good couple weeks for parks. even moving back to the incredible events we had with the skateboarders, game four of the world series followed by a parade that welcomed hundreds of thousands of people to the civic center area to

proposition b to the ground breaking of boedecker park yesterday. it's been an extraordinary week. yes the beloved bench, our version of the stanley cup, and it will move around from location to location and will end up in the mayor's office in 200 for a with while. the best qualitative stat about the urban park score that ended up the best in the country is 96% of san franciscans live within a ten-minute walk of a park. think about that. there is no other city in the country that can claim that. we are very proud. that is an honor which celebrates the city's commitment to parks but also the incredible wisdom

and vision of our -- those who have come before us in building a parks system so there is a lot to be proud about. a few short announcements looking forward. this friday we are able to celebrate the grand reopening of the sunset recreation center. friday november 16th at 6:00. it will reopen after a $14 million renovation. this was made possible through the 2008 clean and safe neighborhoods fund program. it is another example how our bond dollars are working to make park and recreation dollars better across the city. i was able to take an advance tour of the nearly complete site last week. it is going to amaze. it is really, really spectacular. tomorrow you can get a head start on thanksgiving at the turkey cook-off. a no recipes barred

competition between youth and staff of each of the centers. this is one of the best and certainly most tasty events. you get to join the fun. anybody who wants to come can judge the award for best turkey, best side dish and best dessert. the best get started at 7:00 at potrero hill rec center. bring your appetite and your baggy tents. tree lighting. celebrate the season at the annual holiday tree lighting at the lodge in golden gate park thursday december 6th, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., featuring free carnival rides, arts and crafts, cookies and live visit from santa. visit sfrec.org. this is one of our four family friendly events we have throughout the year that includes scare grove,

which we just successfully hosted in stern grove over halloween. extravaganza, a spring festival in golden gate park and play day on the green, which last summer was a summer event that we hosted here at civic center. one final kudos were recognition before moving on to our -- this month's video. last night i had the great honor of attending at sunny side conservatory the outdoor educator's graduation ceremony. this is the first graduation ceremony for this program. it is a program that was convened by an organization called the foundation for youth investment. a partner of ours focused on getting kids outside.

this is an indepth ten-week instructor training program for young urban adults who demonstrate high interest and aptitude for the outdoors. this focuses on competencies, leadership skills and pathways for a career in the outdoor education field. the first graduating class had eight graduates who completed six-month course where they end up with back country rescue training certificates and a number of different competencies, including ropes course facilitator training. wilderness first responder training. kayak training. environmental training. they did a backcountry expedition. we were a partner and hosted and arranged for swim and water rescue curriculum. i
