>> have deeply elapsed ecology and what makes effort watersheds work and what makes bio diversity work and keep a

sustainable system going. i can tell you what original started out under the investments pushing for bio diversity that was supposed to protect gene pools so it could go back for plant species has moderator both into what can, described as a crazy neurosis in which we seek out vast tracks of vegetation to try to restore them to some pristine condition not 20 thousand years ago because when the indigenous people came they changed the landscape this stuff has become ridiculous and it also at that time when were faking building a

climate crisis we mutt not cut down eucalyptus that releases vast amounts of co2 we need to have this decision for a hundred years from now then maybe we can start deciding when we can cut down a bunch of trees please remove 4.2 >> thank you. next speaker. >> good morning peripheries naipz a linda schaffer i've had the honor of servicing on the rec and park department open space advisory committee since 2008. i actually represent two constituents i audio tape one of 4 seats on the committee that is

looked for representatives of environmental organizations so i have a big job but today, i'm speaking only for myself i've been listening to this from the overflow room i have to admit i've had a sewer restrictive experience i how the i was going to enter a conversation about a sin ram this is about the open space document so i'll address miff to that having seen all the previous versions and service on prozac i feel very confident in stating this is a fair and balanced document that has take into account all of the input guided by many, many people all of whom hold different opinions about the subjects i don't how

they've managed to get all the opinions represented i would specifically like to mention i'm delighted by bio he diversity and sustainability have their own objective in this document and

>> so we have to you volunteer at the natural areas program every week, we manage a specific area it's been reward recycle going to church every wednesday and it is very spiritually rewarded to see the butterflies return to a restored area i want to be specific about policy 4.2 it talks about the inventory

natural areas like albeit rec and park department the laguna watershed the nature lake and owned by water department and the cellists above o shown in a and dpw and the brotherhood way watershed that is owned by water department we want those sites 13wir7bd for bio diversity and those that are threaten are the lots between twin peaks boulevard and two lots at the previous at the hunters point and i want to get specific things in there. >> thank you very much thanks for your work. >> next speaker. >> good afternoon. i'm denise i'm a volunteer with rec and

park department. and natural areas program. and i want to ask you to move forward with the rose as a volunteer i can tell you that conservation really works for example, last year in the city it successfully reviend two former disjoint populations of the butterfly in the sunset district conservation works and just last week, i was on mountain davidson i saw the grass going to seed the parallelly everlasting native plant long mount davidson and

others in fruit with red berries it was so heartwarming to see those native plants they're the foundation of habitats for other critters so i want to express my right to have those spaces protected and preserved because that's the kind of open space that i enjoy and it's not something that i want to have sdrurnd with invasive species or my dog or dog owners this would distributor my peace in those open nature spades >> thank you very much. ms. howard >> good afternoon, supervisors and to sue at home hi i hope all

it well. as a member of the rose group i ask you to involuntary the no with the rose we're concerned with the original rose luggage the 1986 was eir quickly. it is stating when new recreation and cult building should be outside of existing marks or parks and playgrounds san franciscans should not be in the position to have being put in a negative place. policy 1.2 section kurngz cultural buildings and other buildings the term cultural is not defined and could put use for any special interest group the building should improve

existing open space i am not buildings don't improve the park haven they should be limited in size it is a weasel and take into account it tends to use the second tarts and other go limiters we're going to have a quick pop quiz we're going to look at two pictures is that picture one or two. picture two was golden gate park and picture two was the original signs for the fishing center kakd out of the presidio that building meets the criteria. please send this document back.

thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon supervisors i'm damn no one i've lived in san francisco i'm not raising a family here but if a professional for the nonprofit and golf agrees for the past 20 years. i'm here to a acknowledge there's a huge leadership moment for that the 3 of you that i hope you'll take up for the rose in desirability i want to emphasize two points one global and one local first, the global. centuries 2005 worldwide most people now live in the cities and in accordance to the demographic shift the cities all over the world are developing action plans to protect their

bio diversity the family air loom is at stake in brazil canada, ed anything ton and korea and soul, hong kong and paris and chicago and los angeles all developing bio diversity plans i'm emphasizing 4.2 in anticipation of the controversy today. my second point has to do with the local constituency over one hundred thousand kids grouping in san francisco school is out and many kids have an opportunity to go see california's natural heritage but many kids can't afford to leave the city.

there's a lot of things to give ushering kids an experience in the 7 by 7 of san francisco. lastly i want to flash on this image. thank you. this san francisco children's outdoor bill of rights than about the enforced by the unified school district several weeks ago by a unanimous vote this is the associate impact that will benefit futures of kids make sure you help thank you very much >> thank you very much. is is there any further public comment on item 2 the rose? seeing none, public comment is closed. mr. ram did you want to say anything in closing you don't

have to >> no, i appreciate that i'll simply like to say we've been there's been a wide range of opinions represented over the last seven years this document represents the best balance in terms of the points of view that have been put forward we respectfully ask you to move forward with our recommendation. >> colleagues back in the hands of the committee questions or comments? okay. so i want to say a few things first of all, thank everyone who came out today and a lot of the members of the community that put a lot of the time into that recommendation development some supports or not supporting the documents as often not everyone agrees also

the city staff that put a lot of time into this effort and i don't think it's at the case a lot of years have gunning gone into a work product you don't have to approve it but mike, i think we should forward this is to the full board and let the phone bill engage on the beating debate on the recognition. i do have as i said at the beginning i have questions about section 4.2 in particular i think it's unclear to the members of the public what it means there is various real concerns those are not made up concerns we have limited open space in san francisco and continual discussions about how they should be used and often conflicts because there's limited space we see this on our streets with parking and parks

we see it in a lot of context. i also know there's a lot of concerns about the sin ramp and it will be coming to the rec and park commissions and the planning commission and ultimately to the board of supervisors and this issue will be debated and decided and or amended whatever at the time. in terms of the rose because we are in this walked position as we are with all the elements of the general plan being able to vote up and down and nothing in between not being allowed to put a come in a in i've said to some of the folks that have contacted me it's a rather large hammer to we'd like and in my document, however, many recommends from the thirty or 40 or 50 we'll

find something we're not thrilled with you want to see section 4.2 at a anytime clarified but there's also an awful lot of 0 a the rose i like and absolutely no concerns about i think by and large it's asz an incredible positive for the need for recreation and the public-private partners and engaging the community but i think what we heard even though the section 4.2 dominated the public comment we see this in some of the fight spill over in the board of supervisors on a regular basis about rec and park in particular there are other aspects of the rose that are disputed. and which i respectfully

disagree i support the san francisco reservoir i'm glad it's moving forward i think that having buildings and parks it is a time that's incredibly important i love the amazing reck reck center and the restroom and the young and the academy of sifts in golden gate park a so that's an important flexibility to the department to have and the rose addresses that issue in the appropriate way. and so on ballet i have as i mentioned questions and concerns on section

>> too focused and too narrow in its description so i don't want to talk out of both sides

of my mouth i want to recognize my representative on prozac thank you, ms. schaffer as well as all the issues that relate to the rec and park and open space. that's it for me thank you >> supervisor kim i'll ask supervisor kim then add. >> i'll make the motion to move forward without recommendation and we'll have a larger discussion with the phone bill i think actually, i'm in kevin on the thoughts their need to be time to rally back the concerns they're a wide interpretation of what this means and the clarity open communication will help i don't know if there can be my thoughtfulness on how to make it specific.

so looking forward to this conversation and dialog looking forward in terms of the open space acquisition fund i have concerned about the fund how they've been utilized we have the least open space in my space 1.6 acres and other district have occupy to two acres per spates i want to insure we're able to look at how we're going to spend the funding and actually meet all the commitments we're making to the variety of neighborhood that are looking to acquire additional open space that's my motion chak scott wiener >> there's a motion actually there's two things one of the

issues we've heard from folks on both sides people that are passionate invested in our parks i want to thank everyone that makes our parks alert or better i know for example we've heard from dog-walkerers and there are dog-walkers who do cleans up and make the parks better and the natural volunteers we've heard from any know quite a few of m them in buena vista that work critically hard to improve those parks and often in very non-controversial ways sometimes there's controversial aspects of that and aspects of it that are not controversial so i want to thank all the people whatever their view open the rose are investing a lot of their own

time to improving our parked. i did even though we're not allowed to as i mentioned move so much as a comma i prepared an amendment to the young if the resolution or ordinance that would adapt the rose just an additional finding i'll read it and offer it today nothing in this recreation and open space element should constitute approval each project has to go through the normal approval process board of supervisors says the open development should take into account all needs for recreation access

>> so today's hearing sponsored by your officer is a report what can from the tenderloins search-and-seizure now in its third year the cac is charged with participating in the development of the community benefits development if are part of the payroll tax execution in the tenderloin this is a unique

feature of this there's no other tax conclusions for a requirement the cv a we want to acknowledge an critically bumpy progress we've heard from community members and tech companies that have participated we know that we need to make significant improvements to the progress and acknowledge that significant improvements have been made but we have to have concrete ways to increase the transparent and also improve the level of community compute and how it's put into the agreements i'm sure you're aware of cb a is a contract between the city the board of supervisors self-have the power to approve e.r.

disprove, however, the cac provides a public forum that meets monthly that represents most of the companies the public and the cac members have a chance to really talk and discuss the progress. when we envision this process our number one goal was to build the relationship and to insure there is consumption so one benefit agreement when built deeper meaningful relationships were being built that's believing in the long term how change is implicating the community. today is hearings is about hamburger back new year from our advisory committee and listening 0 their observations and the concrete recommendations on how we can both increase the

translate and the process of the cb a's have the best change to talk about the issues displace of employment and homelessness and public safety and more. i want to highest the ways the mist are office and the cb a office was changed one we constituted for most and staff resources including the hiring of a staff position in the city administrators office starting easily open the negotiations understanding that january and february are the worst times to be gave me in those discussed polling because people are mental health holidays and vagdz and changing in quarterly to monthly reporting agreements making sure there is better improvement and discussion and

also collaborative outreach to companies and virus versus four thinking of the community integration and van dust using part of their recruiting process how it attracts top quality many employees and showing transparent and accountability on line. at a previous he meeting companies have tried to find a way to track their user friendly programs we've spent a lot of time with you listening i want to start off by bringing of of up our citizens advisory committee we have two yes to present for the cac. thank you, mr. mary confesses >> thank you, supervisors for

hosting us. well, you stated most say you covered a lot of points the process remains flawed and there's controversy on both the companies in implementing meaningful products to the community it was adapted on both sides to have solutions but there's a divide and actively that's been turning around. i'd like to review a little bit of what's gomg george this agency as six months report going back but essentially we were informed in october there wasn't enough time in november and december we were interested in come back early spring but we want to talk about the value of the cb a ii saw the minutes we requested somebody in the budget office to come
