i am robert braust and thank you very much for hearing and giving me the opportunity to introduce myself, explain why i was original picked to represent district 8 on prosack. explain a little of what i managed to get done in the first 2 years and what i hope to get done in the next. i am a founding member of dolores park work, the leading citizen support group for dolores park and a past board members and [inaudible] currently the mission deloris neighborhoods association, i'm on the board. and during my first 2 years i think i would like to point out that i was very helpful in organizing the later stages and the early stages of the 5 year strategic plan.

i was pulled early on and worked with rec and park to encourage emphasis on land acquisition where we got language in on developing more open space to address population growth and high emerging neighborhoods, we had that moved to a important position in the plan and encourage maintenance with objectives plan for every park and preventative maintenance plan which we felt was very important. and also rently working with the on going work on the chapter amendment which is coming up shortly. going forward, i hope to work with finding and developing more funds for land acquisition. we pretty much have spent our wad and i'm really

excited about the upcoming capital plan, which is scheduled to be part of the new charter amendment and a operational plan. thank you very much for your consideration. >> thank you. you first started on prosack the committee, when? >> it is a little over 2 years. >> you came in the middle of the term? >> yes, i replaced nick who wasn't able to continue serving. >> i think he is back actually. >> yes. >> okay, thank you. >> thank you. >> next up we have richard [inaudible] who is looking for the district 1 seat. >> good morning supervisors, my name is richard roth mnl. i grew up in district 1 in the richmond

district and through my teams and move away, lived in the castro and then after i retired from the city service i moved back to the richmond district in 2010 and was appointed to be on prosack by supervisor mar in 2013, so i'm asking to be reappointed. district 1 is fortunate that most of our playground receive funding in the 08 and 12 bond measures, so accept for one, most the playgrounds have been modernized. i feel my roll on prosack is to

help district 6 and 10 through open space funding to find spaces to put parks in their areas there. i also see my role as a liaison between rec and park staff and eric mars office and the rez sidents of the richmond district. i also-we had meetings about the strategic plan and i'm particularly interested in-besides rec and park having a lot of open spaces, they have a number of significant buildings in them with wpa murals and i have been working with the art commission in rec and park staff to make sure that these murals are open to the public, so that all could

see them. i'm asking that you consider my application to be reappointed again. happy to answer any questions. >> very good. thank you mr. rothman and thank you for serving on the committee. we'll open for public comment. any member like to comment on the seats for prosack? >> good morning. this is linda [inaudible] and the chair of the park open space advisory committee and support all 3 of the members. it is a pleasure to work with each of them. they sort of under sold their skills. they are strong works that come to every meeting they can. they worked on several subcommittee squz
