2:00 am
them when they requested it, but here we have alcohol and that is one of the reasons i came here to talk about this. i thought when dana ketcham presented the reason for the alcohol at prosac it sounded funny. first it was necessary because the owner of the future team will walk away from the table if he doesn't get alcohol and thought as a negotiator what a piss poor decision that is. i would never walk away from the table. i know better than that. worse than that, it was said there were beer gardens outside and set a precedent so they didn't want people walking in and out of the stadium for boos and alcohol and should have it on there inside. i think if nothing else you need to look at the thing to shift the responsibility for consequences of alcohol to the neighbors, community and san francisco police when you don't need the alcohol, it will
2:01 am
attract more families with more children to watch the soccer. by the way, i support soccer, my daughter played soccer. >> 3 more cards, mar cello, billie and alexander. if there is anyone in the north light port and you want to speak come up now. anyone here if i haven't called your name and want to speak be prepared to come up once all these folks have spoken. >> eileen bokeen and resident of sunset park side and in solidarity with the haight ashberry neighborhood council and kezar stadium committee opposing the proposal which includes the stadium for games and pogueo field and boxer stadium. i believe best use is activities for children and youth, not professional sports. since
2:02 am
1991, the park prohiblted the sale of alcohol at kezar, changing this would send the wrong message especially to kids and create policing problems. this proposal will create parking and traffic issues. the installation of quality lighting will have impact on the neighborhoods. outreach to the neighborhood is lacking. this is bad policy and bad business. the majority of upgrades would benefit them. the majority the $500,000 is use today install quality lighting. rpd receives little from revenue and murchendous sales. >> next speaker. >> good morning commissioners.
2:03 am
ethyl [inaudible] i'm a board member oof haight ashberry improvement association but more importantly i'm a 3 year resident and as such i'm well aware of what happens and doesn't happen on a saturday night in the haight ashberry so would like to underscore the outhization of the permit because it is good for the kids and team and sport, but it is also going to be good for the community, the haight ashberry to have a organize, supervised healthy alternative for saturday night activities. thank you. >> thank you. >> next speaker. >> my name is elizabeth [inaudible] i have been a long time user of kezar stadium before the 1999 renovation to the beautiful renovation i took
2:04 am
my son there to learn to walk because it was a open area, i like to exercise there. i think having the delta's come there-we had soccer teams come international and play there and haven't had a lot of games there in the recent past and think it would be great if we have that because you can watch barcelona on tv but would rather watch a live game. i watched the sacred heart game because it is exciting to see the live game. i think there are ways to compromise on some of the issues and maybe it is traffic pattern or shuttle but many other cities have stadiums in the middle of the resident and they figure it out. stadium goes police it
2:05 am
so there is less likely a neg tchb element in the park if if families come and go through there. they have a positive presence to the area so hope you support the delta's and their proposal. thank you. >> thank you. >> next speaker and again if you are in the northern light court if i haven't called your name and want to speak come up now. >> good morning commission. david noa and a 4 year resident in san francisco on the ingicide district and father of two, also my wife and i run a youth soccer club in san francisco. i had the pleasure of playing a soccer game at kezar stadium and beautiful facility for what it is worth. i know the staff of the sf delta's. i haven't met brian but heard remarkable things about him. the plans they have to
2:06 am
revitalize the stadium and turn it into a professional soccer stadium which will share access to the community sounds like a phenomenal project. as a father of 2 i know how important it is to reinforce the values and ideas and wonderful things soccer brings with having a professional backbone to support it and for us to have the opportunities to bring our kids to a professional soccer match, fantastic venue in san francisco speaks volume for the sport and what woe want to share with our kids. thank you. >> next speaker. >> hi there, my name is [inaudible] work for the delta's but prior to working w for them i played soccer 4 years at sf state and last 4 years a youth soccer coach. if you look at the rosters around san francisco at
2:07 am
college and within san francisco, very few kids come out of san francisco earning the scholarships and think the energy we can provide to the young kids to go after this will create opportunities educationally. when i met with bien about this opportunity i was curious about who he was and i have to say he is a incredible leader and person. 50 percent the staff is wem squn think that is unprecedented and he hears my voice when i say i don't think that represents women properly. a lot of women are here, we love soccer and want a organization that represents that. 2/3 of the staff are minority and in a work force in the city that struggles with that issue, that is something that i'm proud to represent. the other thing is follow through, we are not a organization that will come away and say we dpot our deal, let's
2:08 am
forget all the issues discussed, we will follow through and want this to be the cities team, we want everyone to feel it is their team so we'll hear and work with them to make sure they feel good about the deal. >> next speaker. >> hello all, my name is marcelo rodriguez and here to speak for my two daughters, one is 13 and the other about to turn 11 and both are at school. my daughters are chinese, argentine partially jewish but one thing they are 100 percent is san franciscan and soccer fans. one of them is a junior and the other is [inaudible] and we have huge sites at home, people in the audience who fallpo soccer would know what that about. each of them can tell you every member
2:09 am
the starting line up of barcelona. they can even tell you the starting line up of madrid, boo. soccer is passion in our home and passion is ramped for soccer in my neighborhood, the mission district. we need soccer erhoo. we cannot drive to san jose to watch high quality soccer so my kids can learn how to play better. television doesn't work. my kids need to be able to recite every player on the delta team with pride as san franciscans. that is what soccer is about in our world where we come from. i will say i'm in agreement with one point that the haight ashberry neighborhood council made, it is really hard to get from the mission to
2:10 am
kezar so i encourage you to please help get muni to provide the service that we need. it is that simple. don't stop soccer, improve muni. that is the right way to go about it and thank you. >> thank you. >> next speaker. >> good morning commissioners [inaudible] 22 years. and san francisco has a baseball and basketball team but don't have soccer team. soccer is a inclusive sport, anyone can play, boy and girl, young and old. soccer brings families together. i have a 14 year old son and he plays soccer since 5. sports keep our kids out of the streets and out of trouble. i believe
2:11 am
san francisco benefit from having a local soccer team. [inaudible] i support the kezar stadium for the delta. >> next speaker. >> hi, billie fort and the orner and general manager of the east bay stompers. we spent the last 4 years as the san francisco stompers ball club. i'm in support of the delta's because them coming to san francisco gives every soccer that grows up playing in the bay area a chance to excel and go to the next level. in the national soccer league we with the northern american soccer league. 7 teams have clubs in our league. having the deltsa's here is there is no presence on the west coast so they will be doing a big justice to soccer by having them
2:12 am
come here. with that, my grandparents owned a home on 44th and nor egga so i remember riding past kezar when it was a hole in the ground. i grew up with san francisco giant and 49ers. having kezar it may present issues to the community but having a professional soccer team and giving san francisco provide and putting a foolt print on the map is a good thing and if we can approve for kezar it is the right fit for the stadium and right size so i want to support for the delta's and say my piece. thank you. >> next speaker. if there is anyone else whos name i haven't called whether in here or north light court and you want to
2:13 am
speak on this item, please line up on either side of the room now. thank you. >> good morning commissioners. privilege to be here today for many reasons and most everybody mentioned it. i am left with a few things to say which i think is so important. one is the fact that i'm a san francisco resident, 20 years and have the privilege to marry a soccer player that went to [inaudible] and have a 1 and a half year old daughter that i hope will follow the same stepsism i love sock squr raised in south america and in south america i had the opportunity following all the different leagues in different countries and cities the opportunity to see how soccer changes the community in each community
2:14 am
where they go in the most positive way. there is enough bad in the world for our kids to get distracted and derailed and throughout my life i have not seen enough of good things that soccer brings to the community. i understand that residents from the area have some concerns regarding logistic and alcohol and a few other things, but one thing that really makes me feel good about this project and organization is the people behind it. it isn't by accident we haven't had a professional team. it is san francisco and a hard city to implement such a gijantic project, but i feel very happy and confident to say years from now will tell how good this project will be to and for our
2:15 am
community. one other thing that also makes me super happy about this is not only do i have a place to take my daughter and wife, the people behind are super humanized and community oriented and just one other thing, i read a article muni is the only agency in the u.s. where it is a public transportation system losing users so this is a opportunity to take the buses and help people get toand from the stadium. >> next speaker. >> good morning park and rec. i want to say, green green, it is green they say on the far side of the soccer hill. green green and good luck park and rec with this city bill. green green it is green they say on the far side
2:16 am
of the kezar stadium hill, green green and i know you'll fix it, i know you surely will. green green kezar valley or rocky track or soccer road and i know you are going to fix it, let it unload. delta dawn, what is that soccer ball, it is gone, you kicked it long. could it be a faded kezar ball fly went up high. and did i hear you say it is going to be there every day, and it will take you to that soccer match in the sky. delta dawn, what is that soccer ball it is gone long. could it be a faded soccer ball from days gone by. and did i hear you say it
2:17 am
is going to be there and we are going to fly away? it is gone, it is gone away. [applause] >> tough to follow. good morning. >> what are you going to sing? >> green green--[inaudible] 17 years in the bay area, none in san francisco. 13 of those knowing brian [inaudible] the ceo of the delta's and i can echo what others have spoken of his cairktd and integry and deep desire to support the community. he is one i see the most and rarely seen him in
2:18 am
rene months because he is so busy meeting with the community members he can both to build up the sport and meet with people in close to kezar to hear about their concerns and try to address them. and i like others have a one year old daughter and new son on the very and very excited bringing them to professional games. i think it is important to have these proteams in san francisco and love to see san francisco be the center of the bay area as much as possibly. also i was brought here when i heard it would be at kezar and that is through the eyes of my dad who was a resident in the 70's and moved back to the mid-west where i was born. i remember a few years in san francisco he asked me to take him to kezar and asked how often i went there
2:19 am
and said i never went there. i could see surprise and also sadness in his eyes because he had told me all these stories about all these great memories he had and that wasn't my experience as a san francisco resident and for many people it wasn't and would like it to become that way again and know he would too and revitalize it. i think a professional team is a good way to dothat, so thanks a lot. >> thank you. >> next speaker. >> good morning. [inaudible] business student here in the bay area. i'm sure you all got already the passion and all the feelings that we have regarding soccer, but the point i will make here is a different focus. i was reached-me and my friend were reached by
2:20 am
the delta's and we are a business school in north beach and more than 50 nationalities and 400 students to try to analyze the scenarios and operation jz logistics to make the plan viable and count on passion and also make sure that all the conditions and all the aspects between the kezar stadium are specifically and positively addressed. so, the message i want to leave with you guys is that delta's are doing a very big effort to make sure that this is going to be a viable plan, not only lot of people get to the stadium, but this has to be done in a very good way and very flow of people has to be very good, so i'm sure this will be a very positive step toward a good show, a good entertainment attraction and also
2:21 am
a good environment for families, soccer players, foreign people and everybody here in the bay area. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> next speaker. >> hello everybody. it is my pleasure to be here again. my name is [inaudible] i'm a brazilian american. my experience as soccer, i was a former player for foothill college. as a coach i was coaching for the city of san francisco parks and recreation 2002, 2003 [inaudible] that is why i come here to ask you guys to support also san francisco delta's. the is very important to have a professional
2:22 am
team on the bay area. we have a top baseball team and football team and we need soccer. we need a professional soccer [inaudible] please, you know, give us the opportunity to have the quality of soccer in san francisco and the opportunity for all of us. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> is there anyone else who would like to plake public comment on this item? being none, public comment is closed. >> thank you very much. in the hands of the commission. any observations or comments? >> i'll offer a couple different thoughts. this became before us at the operations committee commissioner burny and buell sunched with me and heard many same arguments on both sides and didn't have queeus robust
2:23 am
turnout in public comnlt but that added a lot to what our position was that day. and that is that our job as a recreation department is provide recreational opportunities. you have seen the public comment this morning about the demand on our fields and obviously the demand is great, but one the charges is bring people to a sport and to increase peoples interest in a sport and if that means we can do that by facilitating a professional team in a park facility and make that affordable i see that as much of our responsibilities as anything we do. that isn't to say we don't have great sensitivity to the concerns of the neighborhood. i know we kbet numerous requests for kezar stadium and the department is sensitive to what some of the requests are and
2:24 am
many of the requests have been turned down because they are not compatible with the neighborhood. we have taken into the consideration of the impact on the neighborhood and feel good what brian and the delta's will do relative to some of the concerns and think overall this will be good for it neighborhood and if it is not, that isn't-good for business oregon business either and will work on that, but in the end we need to try something different and something that will serve so many people in a sport and activity that has such incredible interest and demand in the city. i think about in my own house i have a 6 year old and 13 year old and the difference in interest in soccer between my 13 year old started and what my 6 year old is going through is exponential. i'm excited for what this can mean for the city and department and encourage us all
2:25 am
to support the measure. >> thank you. mr. genzburg. >> it is soccer day here at the commission and want to say a couple things. the department worked very hard to create community and we do it in a number of ways and one way we do it is through sport whether if is civic center world cup celebration or 12,000 kids, 1 out of every 8 children in san francisco is playing youth soccer which is a amazing thing. or through a idea like this. our parks are fantastic because of the community they create and whether that is for [inaudible] or civic center or a performance day in mclaren park, parks create community and following off something you
2:26 am
commissioner levitan is this will create community in our parks so we are excited about it. we are also extremely sensitive to the neighborhood concerns which are articulated and commend the community for all of the robust input in both direction jz from that comes a better project. we are listening and will continue to listen to issues as they arise. we are excited to try this and want to cu-mind brian and the delta's for taking your community responsibility as seriously as you have. this is a lot of months and there a lot of meetings and dialogue and have done that with great empathy more listening then talking and that gives great optimism you will be a strong partner with us. i also
2:27 am
want to cu-mind dana ketcham. between this project and a few others on her plate and the noise surrounding the grouth in youth soccer which a few folks have taken their eye off the ball and forgotten is about the kids, dana managed all the projects with incredsable grace and also a profound commitment to our park system and neighborhoods and really want to thank her for that. >> thank you. commissioner bonilla. >> first of all, i want to say, i am so impressed with the strong sense of the family that has created here. i think all of you should be commended for creating such a strong
2:28 am
soccer-such a incredible soccer family. i think this venue will continue to strengthen the fabric of our community and will fill an incredible need that exists in the city. i trust that all of the outstanding issues will be addressed and that the proposed venue will be in really strong hands and that-when all is said and done, this will be a very good venue for our city. >> thank you, commissioner. seeing no other comment let me say before the
2:29 am
vote that i think it is very exciting proposal and i think the people who put it together have done a very good job reaching out to the community and taking into account their concerns. what you see today is not the initial proposal it is negotiation and consideration for those opinions voiced in community meetings. i do share the concern about alcohol, but i believe that with the understanding that the police department has some jurisdiction here and can revoke a permit and keep us aprized of any conduct following games and the fact that alcohol won't be sold in the last 10 minutes and there is a intermission in the half it isn't like you can keep going the bar if you have interest in the game played on the field, all those things mitigate to a point where i'm excited about this and would ask for a motion.
2:30 am
>> so moved >> second. >> all in favor? >> eye rr. >> see moved, thank you very much. [applause] >> commissioners- >> hopefully this isn't breaking rules, but if i can borrow commissioner bonilla words, invite you to the football family. people that know me i mean what i say and mean what i say. i believe you can do good and well and that is what we are trying to do so thank you very much. >> we will take a 5 minute break so people can reorganize their life and
2:31 am
>> [gavel]. let's geback to the agenda and is tonia here to give the zoo report? >> commissioner i think we are going back to general managers? >> i don't see the general manager. >> we won't do that. let's go to the consent calendar. is there public comment on the consent calendar public comment is closed. move to approve. >> we are on item 6 of san francisco zoo. >> hello commissioners. >> powerpoint, please.
2:32 am
>> hi. lively day so far. >> you have soccer at the zoo? >> we are getting [inaudible] for march madness so that is good to hear. [inaudible] forecast of bay area as a whole and come up with rainy day funs at the zoo. rainy day fun include giving out 100 free ponchos. we have indoor spaces like the tropical aviary and talking about animals that are active in wet weather such as the polar bear and sea lions. year to day with hits in january and march we are about
2:33 am
2,000 visitors shy of the budget. sping is in the air we have a couple new babies, woo have a black howler monkey. the names are [inaudible] and robin williams. >> may want to change lenscomes name. >> we'll leave that up for debate for other people. the fastest non human primate is a [inaudible] monkey. they are out in the exhibits. with string bird walks are back so we have a master birder named allan ridly but offered to do bird walks started with volunteers but we expanded to members so there is one today at the end the month and start at 8:30 in the morning and allan takes people around the zoo and it is a
2:34 am
enthuse astic group of people who love seeing the bird in natural spaces. pie day, the international day to celebrate that number. we offered free admission to all students regardless of age, they just showed a idea and gave the pi theme enrichment to animals. there were pi for the cang karroos. a nob of people came out so had over 1200 people. march madness is happening and givingbasketballs to ram buxs goats and mir cats. for easter weekend we do our big bunny spring fling and
2:35 am
work with 106 fm. there are crafts and games and pictures with the bunny. >> any public comment on this item? being none public comment was closed. this chs discussion only. we are item 7, open space fund undesignated contingency reserve. >> do we want to go back to the general managers report? does the general manager want to wait? >> let's keep going. >> i appreciate that. commissioners president buell, the item before you is discussion and action to apruchb the alge allocation of $40,000 to fund improvement of the tank hill trail. this item went to capital committee and wanted to mention [inaudible]
2:36 am
kauffman who is a strong supporter for the project offered to be here today and told her i didn't think she need today bother given the way we expected the morning to ge. tank hill is near twin peaks boulevard and [inaudible] about 4 years ago i was approached by the community organization specificallyilia work wg the area plan to solve a trail problem. in 2012 when the 2012 clean and safe neighborhood parks bonds passed kw receive funding for the community opportunity fund we encouragedillion and the group to apply and around 4 of the [inaudible] in 2014 the selection committee recommended approval of 36,
2:37 am
210. in november of 2014 the commission approved design development viremal review for the project. last august the environmental review and concepual design were completed and approved 51, 210 on the project to be used funding from the 2012 clean and safe neighborhood parks bond. following that commission meeting we authorized the bid packen last year. our estimate was $36,000 and the lowest bid was 69, 320. we studied the bid and believe the overerage is due to the specific type of work which is building stairs where there is a trail that is eroding. the relatively small contractor pool because of the specialization
2:38 am
of the work, the need for doing work in sensitive areas and the requirement for experience and also the fact no mu shinery can be used and has to be hand tools. in the time between us recommending this dollar amount and the bidding melinda is experiencing overerage on a couple other trails programs which is why a capital committee there were grant for twin peaks and bernal. the expensive piece is the only piece. the good news is even though the bids were opened in october 2015 and typically only are able to commit a contractor to 90 days to commit to that price, alta engineering committed to the price as long as we move in the next
2:39 am
month so we will begin construction in late april. >> any public comment on this item? seeing none public comment is closed. >> would like to move for approval. >> second. >> all in favor? >> aye. >> thank you very much. >> we are now on item 9, the mothers building san francisco zoo. >> good afternoon commissioners. stacy [inaudible] deputy director of the planning unit. i am here today to step you through condition assessment we had for the mothers building at the zoo. my first couple of slides show where the mothers building is. the first one shows in 1925 when it was used at the original intent as a actual building for mothers to relax with their
2:40 am
young children when the families came to visit the [inaudible] now it is in the middle of the-the northern edge of the san francisco zoo. here it is on the zoo diagram. the context of the building is how it intended for monthers is a amazing building. buildings designed in the wpa in the 30's and painted by two women, 3 women actually. the building was initially created in 1925. it was used as a mothers building in the 1960's when it was decommissioned and used as a ancillary building for the zoo as a gift shop mainly and [inaudible] until 2000 when it was decommissioned and
2:41 am
hasn't been used since. these are images of the mural. they were painted in egg tempera which is unusual. different from a typical fresco that is painted on wet plaster, this was painted on dry plaster. you can see it is a incredible asset we have. the conditions assessment was funded by the historic preservation fund committee. they provided a grant over $100,000 to do the assessment. they went out and did a survey to identify the issues with the buildings and what would be need today bring it up too [inaudible] and restore it. they broke down the assessment into 3 categories of work, short term work that needs to be done soon tostabilize the building and long term work that would restore the
2:42 am
murals, provide ada access and bring the building tupe working condition. the next slides go over the detail of the immediate needs, the short term needs are long term needs. for next steps the zoo has been a fan stastic partner i have undertaken the immediate maintenance needs identified by this report and have recently put in dehumidfires to help protect the murals. the arts commission has been a strong supporter. they have started to start the process of photographing the murals which is another wrun one of the steps from arg to make sure that we have good documentary evidence. at the moment we lost a portion of one of the murals on the western side of the wall so want to make sure we have all murals documented as soon as possible. and
2:43 am
then our next step is identify funding. first was the immediate and short term stabilization which is approximately $400,000 and for the long term restoration of the building and the murals which is about $5,000,000, both in todays today. we have a lot of gotten support from [inaudible] historic preservation committee and commission president is here as well as some prosac members. [inaudible] i am here along with- >> can i get you to speak into the microphone? >> here with the arts commission if you have any questions. thank you. >> i do have public comment. commissioner wolfram. >> president buell and commissioners andrew wolfram the president of
2:44 am
historic preservation commission. the historic preservation commission held a hearing march 2 where stacy bradley presented the same nrgz you have today. the mothers bimding is a incredible assets a treasure orpha building that is in the zoo but one the few remaining fwildings of the [inaudible] it has fantastic murals painted by dorathy putsch nely and [inaudible] from the wpa period and very significant architecture by george cell um. since twnt 02, it is boarded up and the murals crumbling and detear yireating. this report which you commission give a great path forward. it
2:45 am
identified ways to remediate the deterioration for immediate need but also points a way towards the fact that the building has amazing potential for adaptive reuse. the location in the zoo and its character the beautiful character of the spaces within the building really are a tremendous opportunities for social gathering and educational space and classroom use and fantastic assets that i think will be one the most popular buildings in the zoo if it were restored. we urge you to move forward with a two pronged approach. first identify funding for these immediate needs that are all most emergency needs. the building is at a cristical point in the history and the deterioration needs to be remied and futhder deterioration needs to
2:46 am
be prevented. the second is identify the long term plan for reuse the building. we believe there are a lot of potential partners interested in the building. the building is a great assets and think there will be donors interested in participating. i think the capital plan needs to be started, the profile of the building needs to be raised and more puplicity needs to be made. we believe if we work together we with bring the mothers building back talife. thank you. >> thank you very much. >> anyone else? richard? is there anyone else would like to make public comment? i couldn't see him so couldn't tell. >> good afternoon commissioners, richard rothman andime oroon park and open space advisory commitry
2:47 am
and also with friends of the mothers building and thanks to dave and woody at the western neighborhood projects, we had a booth at the history day and caught over 350 post cards of people want to support the building and most of those people remember the building either as a mothers where they went in there as a small child or later was a gift shop and happened to meet the lady who ran the gift shop for about 25 years until it closed in 2000 and she gave me documents and photographs of it. the city [inaudible] i was in there before it was renovated and it was pretty bad condition and fixed coit tower so think now is the time to get started
2:48 am
on the mothers building. some significant things, this was the only building where the murals and mosayics were done by women. most of the artist in that time were men and also, the area is now open even though it isn't the entrance, the zoo opened the childrens play area again so the building is accessible. with the grant and help from the art commission and rec and park and the zoo, they received a grant for probably the largest grant from the historic preservation fund to do the study and this leads to a road map and i understand the zoo has been working on some of the immediate needs to make sure the building is secure and the art commission is ready to go out
2:49 am
there and start photographing it. and realize we won't get all the money at once but think it would be good to start appropriating some of the money so we can finish up the immediate needs and do the short term needs and do the soft cost of the planning so then we'll know how much and then we can figure out how to raise the bulk of the money. thank you. >> thank you. >> anyone else like to comment on this item? this is the mothers building. want to make sure. go ahead. >> hi. john wild with office of economic development. good afternoon. among other things i staff the historic preservation fund committee as mentioned was the primary funder of the work along with yourselves and
2:50 am
the arts commission. both oewd and the advisory committee are very happy the work is more farmally gotten to this stage and back in front of you. the community [inaudible] and high priority to them and the recommendation to us to fully fund this assessment which we did. two quick points on behalf of my committee, one, they are very impressed with the quality of the product. i believe you had a quick summary of that today. they were comp lmentary of the consultant staff who researched and [inaudible] as well as your department and staff who helped manage the contract. secondly, want to emicize the pornts of implementing the reports and recommendation as far as preserveeration and retention and there urgency related to that need
2:51 am
given the buildings condition and the sensitivity of the murals to whether conditions which are somewhat intense. also just a [inaudible] very much appreciate the direct engagement from your staff on the early stages of this. reviewing the grant application. we look forward to maintaining that active dialogue as we discussed in the grant review process as we go through implementation fund raising the stages of the project. oewd and advisory committee are here to help in whatever fashion as we move forward so thank you [inaudible] >> thank you. >> next speaker. >> good afternoon. my name is hethy [inaudible] district 4 representative

2:53 am
space to be used for a variety of things which potential damage is limited. >> since visiting the zoo as child it remains one of the most spectacular places for families and children to learn and have fun. it wasn't until i got older i discovered the zoo and history represent the cultural values of western neighborhoods in san francisco. the mothers building decorated murals and mosayics by women for womens as friends, sisters and mothers row side as a place for [inaudible] and accomplishments within our lively city. [inaudible] story of noahs arc [inaudible] based on the original condition assessment completed. we strongly and respectfully urge departments
2:54 am
to work collaborativety along rec and park, prosa crrksc and supervisor tangs office as we preserve the site in san francisco and womens history. we believe it is important to plan for the futures of the mothers building so this community gem isn't destroyed or becomes too late to turn the building into a useful community asset. >> anyone else who would like to speak? seeing none, public comment is close said. >> commissioner low. >> this is really a spectacular building. i do have to thank staff, not sure the general manager knows who snuck me into the building last year and gave me a tour. it really is a inspiring building and the murals are fantastic. my question is, while we are doing the immediate
2:55 am
preservation, what are we going to do-what is the strategy for the long term goal? how do we adapt ivly reuse the space? it is okay we are doing the short term, but what is the long term plan? >> i will give you help on that in a oinute. if you don't have any er questions i'll ask commissioner bonilla to weigh in. >> the question i wanted to and ask be sure this is the case that it will continue to be called the motherers building no matter what use we put to it in the future? >> we need you to speak into the microphone when you come up. >> i don't know of any plans to change the name the building. >> great, i just love the idea of a mothers building in the zoo and how it was used was just terrific and
2:56 am
hope we find some really good uses that in some way relate to the murals that are there. >> so, first let me congratument or thank richard rothman for the dedication to this of pushing this forward. i too share a keen interest in this building and think it should always remain as the mothers building and be fully restored. there is lots of interest from departments and advoicates. the real question is what is the youth and i want to direct the comments to the zoo. this morning at the zoo committee meeting, some uses were identified and so what i would like the message is ask tonia peter son to schedule a meeting, initially it can be with me and i want to pursue
2:57 am
some of those uses and some of the funding that may be associate td with it and then to all the parties that are involved, the mayors office and the staff and that i believe that we need to have a proposed use before we can do a propose said fund raising program and that will help identify funders and some of the pro posers would be acompcompanyed by partial bullet substantial funding. having all that in place the next step is meet with tonia and some of those who might be interested in supporting a particular zoo use that would restore this building fully and then we'll meet and make sure we get a bigger body together of interested parties because then a real capital program can
2:58 am
take place and start to find the solution. >> absolutely and like you had seen this morning, early discussions with a donor that has interest and like director peter son said, our donors are animal donors not building. >> we will make this building a animal and they will lover it. >> i will let director peter son know. >> this was discussiononal. would you like to go back to general managers? >> with baited breath. >> thank you, commissioners. alright. there were a couple other things other than the beautiful game happening in the park system this past munt so thought i would take a moment to comnlt. last week more than 1500 park and rec representatives joined for parks and california society

the city [inaudible] not just the terrific approval ratings in a difficult year. rec and park was a lot of sunlight. one thing i'm most proud about is one question the poll asks is about city service and if they are better or worse than the preechbious year and we were the leading department and leading function just 1 point behind the local economy. 48 percent of san franciscans think our parks are better than last year, only 14 percent they think they are worse and that is a 10 point improvement in 2 years. in 2014, [inaudible] my favorite part of this which i'llened with before showing the video is that the chronicles covererage of the story about the poll yesterday said ", not the
3:04 am
unbeatable golden state warriors could vest the rec and park department ". this team was the second team to beat the warriors and that concludes the manager report. we'll do this month in [inaudible] honoring womens history month. >> making history is so

thrilling to me. my name is rochelle henry and i work with for the san francisco recreation and park department for over 22 years now. right now i have a special assignment and i'm so excited because i do what i love to do which is be around baseball. so, i lived the dream. when i was 7 i went to giant games with my parents and grand parents and said i would be the first third base woman. at 22 years old i was able to participate and play for the colorado silver bullet squz we were recognized by major legal baseball at the first all girls baseball team. my picture is in the baseball hall of fame. i live my dream, now it is my term to reciprocate and have
3:06 am
these girls live their dream. >> my name is jackie snideer and i have played baseball for 10 years since i was 2. it isn't likely girls play baseball at a high level and want girls to play baseball. boys may think girls can't play, but that isn't true. we play just as good as them. >> [inaudible] i have been playing baseball for all most 9 years. i always played with the boys and last summer i was oxe sited to know san francisco rec and park was setting up a all girls baseball team and go to the first national girls baseball tournament so played ball as hard as we could and represent the city welove. >> [inaudible] he said

[inaudible] i would like to do this here in san francisco. so, now san francisco rec and park is hosting the baseball national, the second annual. [inaudible] we can look at all the women back in history but we can also look forward and look at the young girls making history of their own and maybe be in the baseball hall of fame too.
3:08 am
>> thank you, i would just add one post script since there is discussion about fields and permit in addition to the 900 soccer team we accommodate 446 baseball and softball teams on the same fields adding to the complexity of the rubric on field allocation. that was the general managers report. >> thank you. anyone who would like to comment oon the general managers report? public comment is closed. we are up for commissioner buell going to general >> if we have general public comment before executive session we won't burden the public sitting and waiting for us. >> did we approve the consent calendar? >> yes. >> we are only item 11 which is general public comment. eileen come up and also have [inaudible] if anyone else wants to make general public
3:09 am
comment. >> my name is eileen bokeen and here to read a resolution from the coalition for san francisco neighborhood into the public record. to phil ginsburg from george [inaudible] regarding resolution on the palace of fine arts. the palace of fine arts housing the rotunda and performing arts theater and expedition hall where the hall was the site of the exploreatorium, rec and park department sent out request for concept proposal, rscp to lease out the exhibition hall and theater on a long term basis with up grades to the site being the responsibility of the lease holder. where as the [inaudible]
3:10 am
received 7 submissions of which 3 were selected by rdp as finalalist who can respond to the request. two of the finalalist proposals contain a for profit lodging component. the land and building are under the administration of rec and park department and should therefore used for activities and programs shat serve the general public such as arts, education and cultural programs and recreation or open space oriented activities. where as the hotel of commercial use that is unrelate today the mission of the rec and park department. where as opening up rec and park land to commercial use with nominal rec components sets a dangerous precedent for rec and park properties. the 55 year lease that removes
3:11 am
rec and park property from public use and control for a long period of time when new needs and uses of the facility to serve the public could occur within that time period. where as san francisco's popules is increasing at a high rate with projections over 1 million resident in future years and all those residents need open space sw recreation opportunities. therefore, be it resolved the coalition for san francisco neighborhoods opposes any use the palace of fine arts that is not for the primary use of use for arts, education, cultural or recreation purposes and activity as opposed the use of for profit lodging components. i have a copy of the resolution. >> thank you.
3:12 am
>> if anyone else would like to speak under general public comment. >> i know there is a gentlemen who is about to step in who would like to address the commissioners. wanted to say i have never really testified before you but before i say anything else i want to thank you for helping me raise two daughters in san francisco and say that from the bottom of my heart. i'm here to again to speak for them as a soccer dad. my name is [inaudible] as i told you before. i help start a program for the public school that may children have one still attend called star king elementary. it is a school that benefits greatly from the rec and park ability to
3:13 am
provide fields so that it brings families together. people from many walks of life. the most diverse school in the san francisco school district is star king and we were able to bring different programs together through soccer and that program tunes continues and thank you to your support and phil ginsburgs support a lot of kids are served and served well. before we spoke about it delta's and sorry i'm bringing up soccer but it is clearly a passionate thing in many of our lives. there were people here representing private soccer clubs that believe things are not well in the soccer community. i'm deeply bothered by what is going on. i believe that you as commissioners phil
3:14 am
ginsburg as a terrific public servant, are doing something that is vital to the children of san francisco and that is providing playing opportunities particularly soccer. let me tell you, it is a huge game. i don't want to sound like that orange guy but i mean it, it is important. it is very very important. the problem we have now with youth soccer is that it has become a multimillion dollar industry. private clubs like those who came to speak with you before are participating in a level of price gouging that is making it impossible for middle class and working class families to actually participate in the game. they want to take over the league that now manages things and provides opportunity for all children.
3:15 am
because it appears that their greed knows no bounds. you as good public servants are providing hundreds of thousands of dollars in subsidies to these private clubs. >> [inaudible] >> just about done. as you consider the cuminitary which you got which is item 12, please understand that is a very small number of people that play or participate in soccer represented there. the vast majority are families that care deeply about doing this right. >> anyone else want to make general public comment. if there is anyone else please come up now. thank you. >> commissioners sorry i wasn't
3:16 am
here urldier. my 99 year old grandmother died. >> sorry to hear that >> thank you. i serve the city and sf youth soccer as a volunteer. i board did meet yesterday with legal counsel and deliberated at great length, you listen to the full audio of the board meeting about our disputed election. we discovered many serious election irregulararities and detailed those on the website. after a longer deliberation the votive 12-0 to nullify the election and hold a new one april 22. we felt like democracy was meant to be served in our organization and did not occur. we will act in good faith in the elication and be as transapparent and inclusive as possible. since you have heard from the people we made progress on many of
3:17 am
the core issues. we are also working act ivly with the mission youth soccer league to have access to all leagues while preserving equitable use of city fields. every club thought of breaking away to escape the hassle of cooperation. every program, every aloo ins would love to break away and apply its own public benefit program. if any of them did so the burden would be on them. the birdsen would be on them to prove the following: to prove they have no history of violating your permits. paid coaches can not promote undue influence and control. to prove the clubs held annual elections. to prove that they had not earned millions using the cities free fields. to prove they are financially sound. to
3:18 am
prove that low income children can play for free at least no more than $50 a season. the burden is on that to prove all this bauds because this is what sf youth soccer does now year on year. the dispute or election is proof of one thing, it is proof sf youth soccer is working. it is proof that paid programs are being regulated much as they might dislike it. it is proof that some protections are in place though more are needed. thank you for your time. >> thank you. >> is there anyone else who wants to make public comment. we are going to item 10, closed session. any public comment under closed session. this item is closed. commissioners we need a vote as to whether to go into closed session or not?
