organizations for membership in the park and rec and the advisory committee. >> giving me a second here. let me catch up with my notes. colleague as a sponsor of this resolution i wanted to say a few words. i've made that one of my main focuses and wanted to work with interested parties in my district with rec and park department. and i believe in the inclusive district want to expand the list for this board. so this is the purchase of this resolution.

9:08 am
groups in various capacity so i'm trying to understand with so many groups requiring involvement on the open space advisory committee how is anything effectively going to get done >> so the membership itself the purchase of this is to not necessarily have more members. this is - this legislation was done a long time ago so different members have been involved with those issues. so you want to make sure there's an opportunity for people involved in those organizations have a possibility to be on proz prozac. what did you mean?
9:09 am
>> i'm confused sorry. >> jump in. >> proposition c required the city to create the commission and after the ballot measure passes the board adopted an ordinance this created an membership. it's slipping my mind how many members are a certain amount which them are appoint by the board. they created the committee the rec and park has to nominate the members. and the administration code requires the rec and park commission to occasionally up to date the list >> thank you. so if it's helpful i could name
9:10 am

9:12 am
and i don't know if item no. 7 is ready if not we can do the closed session and if no one is out there after closed session we might continue the item >> mr. chair. >> yes. >> i know the goal is to wait for supervisor campos to present by out of respect of the folks here i want to hear from them so we don't have them waiting any longer. >> after we hear from them we can continue the item. let's go back to item 7 just to see if the speakers are here and - >> consider appointing two

>> good afternoon, supervisors and thank you for the opportunity to be before you today and for the consideration of servicing on this committee. i want to provide you with a few aspects that will shed light on why i want to be part of this important committee. i was a state of sub u public policy and i believe it's important that citizens step up when they can add value and i hope as a past city commissioner can provide value to this committee. i want to use what i leonard in the airport committee to help inform the group. secondly as a gay latino harvey milk's has been a hero not only
9:18 am
to the lgbt community but ass an inspiration to all folks. there's a special interest i know we all have in understanding the way to honor the past specify. and as a former airport employee at the sf 0 you can't have a great city without a great airport. we have a great city that what protect the reputation but to enhance our cities standing and a recognition as a leader internationally when it comes to human rights if you have any questions, i'll be happy to answer them >> any questions? seeing none.

9:20 am
throughout san francisco in our diverse community. prior to working in the film office i volunteered for the harvey milk foundation. i was a lead so i've put on some events in san francisco including our candle light project. i worked with lgbt organizations in san francisco and their leaders in the discussion of renaming san francisco airport. i feel passionate my mom what harvey milk's campaign manager and legislative aid over 35 years. i want to help contribute towards bringing about some awareness of harvey's legacy. i know that still his message is
9:21 am
not clear and there's 77 countries globally that still prosecutor people for being gay. not only that but i realizehat t are many diverse communities here in san francisco not only in renaming the terminal harvey but in renaming other terminals >> any questions? seeing none. next speaker >> good afternoon supervisors. thank you for inviting me and giving me the opportunity to be on this committee. i'm gay, of course. so in that sense harvey is a figure that's really loomed large in my thinking about san
9:22 am
francisco history and the civil rights. i'm excited about this up to this point. one of my family ties goes back to my grandmother with the golden gate bridge. i travel a lot for work i'm an engineer so i'm in and out of the san francisco airport and in those other airports that are named after historical figures. i followed supervisor campos original legislation with a bit of excitement and i'm glad we have the opportunity to name other features of the terminals after harvey milk's.
9:23 am
on a personal note a friend i met in japan was excited that he wrote me a letter he lives in a closet. and doesn't realize the opportunity we have to be out in the world and our leadership here. so people like him internationally it's something that resonates. in terms of the legislation i'm excited there's an opportunity we have so many opportunities like for chinese and latinos and other groups there's multiple features at the airport we can reach out to all groups not only
9:24 am
in organizing but hopefully recognize heroes that inspire them today and all the features that are deep in the legislation. thank you very much >> any questions? seeing none. thank you very much. supervisor campos >> do you want to do public comment first. >> thank you very much. first of all, thank you very much colleagues for allowing me to sit in on this committee. happy halloween. i'll let you fidget what my costume is. but first of all, i want to say i'm grateful to the 4 individuals that have applied for the four seats that are currently open. as you may recall the compromise
9:25 am
it was struck and approved by the board of supervisors was a compromise that understood when it comes to doing anything around my name is anything at the airport it's really important for city government both for the board of supervisors and meyer's to work together. the idea that that was finalized was that we would have a committee a group that would be composed of folks that wish approved by the mayor and board of supervisors. 5 individuals appointed by mayor and a by the board of supervisors that's consistent. we've actually detailed bringing this item its important to make sure that we have as board a recommendations on this
9:26 am
committee as possible. and we have been doing outreach for the last few months to make sure we get us as diverse set of applicants as we could. and i appreciate the various community groups to make that happen. it's been a challenge to because i think there's a lot of things happening in the city right now and the reason we decided to move forward is because at some point the work has to begin. and i am grateful to the applicants that are here because i do think they're committed to make sure we've heard from all of san francisco as this process go forwards. i know from working with the
9:27 am
mayor's office they're committed to make sure the whole diversity of the city is represent so there's an interest in the 5 seats to make sure that diversity is taken into account. i would urge anyone interested to suggest names to the mayor's office to make sure there's a diverse group of people represented. i will say that we have tripod in the last few months to get as many diverse people as possible to be interested. our success has been, you know, limited. i think that we have an opportunity through the mayor's office to add to the diversity. that said i think that the individuals you have here before you are individuals who each
9:28 am
bring something unique to the table. and one of the things that we have asked first and foremost is the ability and willingness the commitment to reach out to other communicates to make sure other people are engaged. you've heard from alex walker about emphasis background and i think it's well suited to the commission. of course, maggie and the work she's dip and mr. gillian's thank you very much. i understand the excitement that hvp has for the lt. and even aboard. the key thing is we'll have a
9:29 am
working relationship to come up with some general principles and general recommendations and i think that it's important for us to have the continuity which is why i'm appreciative that this gentleman will play this role. i think it's important to move this ball forward to get this work going. and you know, i look forward to those individuals serving in this capacity. so thank you for your consideration and wish you again, a happy halloween. thank you, supervisor campos. my public comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is
9:30 am
closed. my whole question is for you supervisor campos. with the 9 member committee did you need at least 5 to actually have official meetings or can you start >> i would defer to the city attorney but i imagine a quorum of a 9 member body would be 5 people. >> that's right and i believe the ordinance creating the committee provides that the committee must meet within a certain amount of days after a quorum of 5 members has been appointed. >> thank you so supervisor breed. >> yes. thank you periphery avalos for our work. >> that's my halloween
