compton particularly pleased given his complaint. >> can you get street performers into the speaker somehow. >> we're possibly. yes. that is certainly on the skeletal like outline is to try to manage or deal with this but again my name is concern is to not provide a solution necessarily that falls to the entertainment commission if we create code sections in a police code or municipal code and other agencies use it code that's mites preference i'm sure you're aware of programs at the port and programs at the art commission to take a lot of staff time we appreciate the performers in san francisco but i don't know that our commission has at cabinet to create an entire new program. >> does the art commission are

they responsive to your - and fyi if you sell a product which includes a cd or tape unfortunately, we're so digital that is not the way people sell their product but a product you made you could currently right now go into the street artist program and get one of the stalls in a variety of locations for a period of time that is already something we can and will you know send people to if they come in with that - but if they don't have something to sell they don't qualify if you want to put a hat out you can't in order to change that it requires a vote of the people of san francisco they're considering this is a very old

1972 piece of legislation you might have voted for it to create the street artist program maybe not you but it needs to go back to the voters that is not out of the question at all for the arts commission but we're talking a few years. >> so someone puts out a hat that's the major modification. >> based on the requirement for the street 56r9s program do you said. >> you have to - >> you canned make policy change without going back to the voters. >> no. >> the reason i ask you is because there is a section like was created by the voters but when they the the music culture amendment to the 90 a it went to the board of supervisors only did not go back to the people

that's why i'm asking you that question and so 90 a was a policy statement they're totally different we wanted to make an amendment to chapter 90 i believe you have to go back to the voters. >> so we can't do it in the street not a program making a policy thing you can put out a hat. >> i think you can not number two of selling a product. >> okay okay new just asking. >> all right. thanks for bringing that up commissioner lee it is a good follow-up to a couple of months ago >> any other commissioners questions or comments if not any public comment on item this i don't see any the late item request for future items

anything anybody want to bring up remind people our first meeting 40 in september a cancelled and the first in august hfa happens to be your anniversary party is it is not quite a meeting that will go to permit and sorry. >> doesn't we have an august. >> august 22nd. >> august 22nd is scheduled for our entertainment commission retreat for all of us the idea we do strategic planning if you can get your thoughts going about - >> no. >> not yet we'll prepare that in the next couple of weeks. >> the date. >> august 22nd is a saturday, i building from 9 to one. >> do we have a location for that no. >> so we have a meeting on the 18 and the retreat on the 22nd

correct. >> i just want to inform you i'll not be at the retreat i'll be at a wedding but i'll be at the 18 meeting. >> if we want to have our vice chair we'll have to look at another date okay. so it didn't seem like anything burning people want to bring up any public comment on this seeing none, that adjourns our meeting have a good night.

pursued so, however, most of the funding and discussions have been around the need for highways and roads not so much transit a push from the vehicles local government to bring that into conversation there's been a modest number of bills introduced in the special session i'll go over in a second first of all we're proposing two new recommendations for the legislation from the first is the ab 744 which would relates to eliminating the minimum parking requirements around the in fill areas around the stations and the planning department is supporting this and the section regular bill is ab 902 basically currently for minors a dwefks program they

receive a ticket for a vehicle code things like bikes infractions they county's encourage get education rather than a ticket and the proposal to extend that to everyone for diversion for bikes running stop signs the first is a b x one one that mandates the loans in prior years of transportation fund to general fund the second is ab x one, two is expansion of the authorization for the building in the regular session and finally constitutional amendment x one one protects for transportation revenues if they have passed in the current session we're recommending a new cigarette time senate package of

transportation revenue increases revenue bill 16 and similar x bs one one by senator bell the increase in the new gas tax and a vehicle fee along with other packages this would be a 5 year program again mostly for local highways we are also reading the spot bills in the extraordinary bills session and waiting to get controls hopefully more details. >> what is the probability revenue for sb 16412 r x one one. >> the estimate is one billion dollars two to $3 billion a year ramping up over the 5 years we're working to support the second amendment for the massive needs for the streets and road but also trends has significant

repair needs and hopefully making that permanent not to come back and mark wants to gnaw we'll move forward this summer for the first time. >> thank you. >> we're optimistic and finally recommending two bills sb x one 2 that redirected the cap & trade funds as important to keep it if transit sb puc has the light rail vehicles we're hoping to seek the funding for the sfmta. >> where is it proposed from. >> excuse me. and who is proposing. >> senator hearing officer. >> from. >> i don't know where thank you. >> north bay. >> we think and finally we're recommending a positions on sb x one we've seen

a lot of those bills basically kill the high speed rail by pretending bonds and at the federal level we've been operating under a number of continuing resolution the federal transportation bill we've seen more likely so see them towards the end of the year the senate has introduced a long term 6 year reauthorization bill called redeveloping the vision for the economy or drive as the means it is focused on highways and roads with some new restrictions on percentage of funding for transit good news it does increase the funding for transportation and increases the flexibility that the local jurisdictions have to address its own concerns there is a recent development they're proposing to eliminate the tiger

program that is a competitive funding for san francisco and the region and it will be sad to see that program go away with that i'll be happy to answer any questions. >> thank you. >> good morning tilly chang bart has announced recently the general manager they'll propose to their vote to take a bond to the bay area we're tracking that the bay council did a poll of the arts alameda and contra-costa alameda to see how voters feel about a bond measure to primarily be for maintenance needs but to address operational and other sort future expansion it is our opportunity to weigh in our staff work with these with the mayor's office and bart itself to better understand what the options are important composing that program now there

is a decision to move forward at least a proposal from the general manager in proposing that to her board. >> thank you. >> we'll check in for your guidance on that. >> supervisor kim. >> thank you. i just had a question on that if there's a 3 county bond measure inch not seen 0 one in my time a 2/3rd's plus one vote. >> i'm not sure if we 2/3rd's yeah, i'm told twittered the first thing and cross the 3 counties. >> the county below and santa fe san francisco was super high the average of the 3 and also how many county wasn't participate in that bond. >> i think by agreement san mateo will not and santa clara has contributed on a different basis so the 3 county for this bond as i understand. >> i understand on a more curious question in general how

many counties can participate in a bond measure like that. >> the bart is formed as the 3 sdriblthsd could be as many as the bart district but maybe another regional measure for the bridge tolls all the county in the area. >> and we're trying to get to a press conference downstairs so if we can do a quick response. >> we need the state legislation like the gas tax they'll put it up on the smaller sunset. >> i'll ask enjoy realize were on a time issue. >> thank you very much we can open up for public comment any member of the public seeing none, public comment is closed. >> this will be same house, same call? colleagues.

i'm robert chief and i'm the park's supervisor in the parks in the sunset district. i've been working here for 3 years. we are 60-70 street below street level. the 64 acre park. the park is divided into 2 sections we are in the stern area. when you get over to pine lake meadow and pine lake pine lake

is considered a natural area. in 1847 the green family came out here back then this was kind of an empty canyon and sand dun area. they claimed this property. in 1892. george green who's a second generation built the truckdaro club house. there was a hotel then. it was said this was the place to go if you were weary of the dirty city and the police. there were a couple of gun fights the front door has bullet holes. i don't ever repair them. 1931 stig mond bought the property from the green family. she donated it to the city of san francisco and had a specification, i'm giving it to the city that will be used

forever for the enjoyment forever of the people of the city of san francisco. it has ever since. every summer the stern grove association in san francisco rec and parks put on 10 free concerts. usually people come out at 10 in the morning it's a family affair. everybody is on the lawn with picnics and it's free. anybody can come out. it's a great way to spend a sunday. >> goes to 1-2 in the afternoon and runs until 5. [music]. thanks to the stern grove association they renovated the concert meadow. it used to be a rolling grafsy area. put in a new stage and stage building. they put in terraces. we get from 8,000 to 12,000

people. and the meadow next to the concert meadow is full of people even though they can't see the music they hear it. i walked into the meadow several times and they don't even care. we do have literally events going on day and night. the concert association has kids days during the week. the performers come out for hundred 200 kids. now, the truckadero truck house gets rented out for weddings and retirement. the croquet clubs and horse shoes. 2 play grounds, tennis courts. we have from 25 to a hundred dogs here. it's like bisons going across the mid west.

there are so many dogs they are covering the ground cht it's a get together. all the dog walkers know each other. if you go to pine lake day camp now, you will see 50 kids there. the rec directors are wonder. >> the pine lake is natural. they take of the area around the lake. they plant natives that are drought tolerant. one that stands the dry summers here. the whole park is under going quite a bit of reconstruction. they will renovate the trails around the lake. and the big project is the capital project for pine lake meadow. they are going to returf the dog

run and the meadow by the day camp. we are looking for a very busy fall. by the spring of next year should have major renovations to the mark thal make it an outstanding park. i don't ever refer to it as my park. all the parks belong to all the people. this park belongs just as much to the families in the bay view sdrishth as it does to the gentlemen that lives across the street. i'm happy and proud to be the caretaker for them. i wake up every day and thank that i have.
