presentation a larger context about soma and dawn and i will tag team we've been working closely with the planning department and the mayor's office of economic workforce development and in the recent years rec and park has earned a seat at the table in neighborhoods plans and development conversations and central soma kind of like eastern neighborhoods there's a very large scale neighborhood plan that focuses on open space with a number of different strategies one is increasing the capacity at jean friend rec center to build an additional floor that adds funding to increase the capacity and making improvement at v m.d. the planning department dream is frankly the caltrans site to create a very large park

experience at the caltrans site other opportunities to partner with development for just by way of example the tension center project ended up with storefront tennis center and there are other opportunities for building in open space and recreational amenity in central soma part of that is using the acquisition funds we're at a frank disadvantage if we had our desires we'll do - we're competing in the market we were committed to this and made promises to do this not getting the same value in the baseline we know that we turned down another property that is was so small it might have been the

most expensive dog park in america it is in the an easy thing to solve and not the leverage we need in other neighborhoods in san francisco dawn i don't know if you want to comment on other central soma. >> is this the last one we hope not aggressively moving forward and working with city planning to try to be strategic and identify options but in terms of organization that have land i think one of the challenges avenue competing in the marketplace we're reactive this is depending on developers willing to work with us and depending on the caltrans property that was described that is going to be like a 10 to 15 year effort and require moving a few caltrans which is if there's an unmoveable the unmoveable

object that's a completely different type of strategy that will take literally i think 10 to 15 years this kind of half acre parcel compared to other parcels in this neighborhood that was the largest and best opportunity and didn't start out that way - in conversations with the buyer clear that was a win-win for those of us and having the seller be interested in expanding the parcels for sale and offering the rest of them for us that that went from something we were vaulting to being an opportunity we wanted to pursue aggressively. >> just to continue for us to tag team a little bit here the soma strategy for this

department if i can summarize further to the west is 17th street and fulsome but on the edge of that neighborhood we've been accounting for an year or two on planning and design at the jean friend and had philanthropy to work on the phase of increasing the capacity at jean friend and we believe the central soma will help us fund a significant investment to the that site at the d m v commissioner low you've and a champion the most recent opportunities you're aware of involves potentially adding latin-american toe d v to increase the funds opportunities and park participation at night and creating for opportunity to use the park and obviously do self-park as part of our renovation so at the moment those you know and then the

acquisition that's our sort of outgoing the department short time a larger strategy i think the planning department is just about ready to begin to provide informational presentations to this commission and other commission on the central soma planning generally it is thinking very sorrowing about open space you know this is our mission. >> a followup question the purchase of this property does that deplete our open space fund. >> yeah. >> it depletes our current cash balance on the open space fund we have 10 maintenance plus or minus and it will use up that remaining balance and the open space fund continues to reflesh on one and a half million

dollars depending on the tax in the city. >> so my last question it is this a property that we absolutely have to have i mean. >> i'm hard-pressed yeah, i'm hard-pressed to identify from my perspective. >> this is so expensive. >> this is the burn in the hand every other opportunities that is out there is highly speculative or not meeting neighborhood park programming needs we have things of which many as part of developments all of those are quarter of an acre and less and those are the types of things like plazas inside residential buildings that allow restricted use and then you have some of the larger plans 10 to 15 years away and require

complex new york city with other agency which strip us in terms of budget mandate if we want to being sure to be able to provide guarantees we've provided a park sized amenity somewhere in central soma this is our current best opportunity we look at yeah. i think this is our current best opportunity we spent during the task force 3 years we/real estate go out and canvas over hundred properties and come back with that list this rapgd from parking lots to building that would theoretically persuade them to buy and out of that extensive vicinity inventories this is the

most - for a property you'll not be able to program with a december sent sized playground on a decent size playground if we had nor economic power to work in a quasi to be more speculative that would be great we're slow moving it takes us there long to get to this point we can't participate in the market from our buying powerful and our own flexibility to rapidly move an opportunity this is the best we can do but we're working with as phil mentioned closely with city planning in the past decade and neighbors to recognize those opportunities as

they arise. >> commissioner low. >> well to move this forward i guess to call the question sorry. >> i'll defer i was going to call make a motion but allow commissioner anderson to make additional comments. >> thank you. i'm sorry i ask so many questions i'm a rookie. >> has there ever been an opportunity we modesty have did you call this a land bank? >> april supervisor kim's aid referred to a los angeles banking strategy. >> that's code for it is not going to be developed for a park. >> yes. maybe an opportunity where other opportunities come up later. >> uh-huh. >> sell what we have or swap it with planning is this a

puzzle piece or ones we buy this we're locked in. >> we're locked in the property owned by the rec and park department or under the jurisdiction of this is 2/3rd's vote of people. >> okay. thank you. >> thank you commissioner low. >> again my only point let's make informed decisions try to figure out what the scope of the environmental problem at least before we close is it a 5 hundred thousand problem arrest mentally ill a contamination let's get a handle before we close i'd like to make a motion to have this recommended to the board of supervisors for approval with the modifications that we strike from our resolution the references to shadows since i don't think that is relevant to the purpose of

whether we acquire the property and deleted that in this resolution. >> a motion before you is there a second. >> second. >> second. >> before we do conclude i want to weigh in and is i mean clearly a lot of competing forces not a lot of land available available it is expensive getting parcels together and doing this is an extensive process a phase one but the phase two informed the value of the property having said that, i agree with commissioner low we need to move forward but caution you if we're all alive when this is development look at the construction costs minus the remediation and a second. >> all in favor, say i. >> i. >> so moved. >> thank you thank you. >> okay. so we're going to take one item out of order the

next item will be closed sessions by the following is general public comment continued we're going to hear that general public comment continued first that is item 10 anyone who would like to make general public comment who doesn't have an opportunity earlier in the meeting come on up richard. >> good morning ladies and gentlemen, i want to kind of look at again live combibltd tloisht the county this particular tackled issue i think is something that supervisor jane kim stepped on in the prop b so i had a chance to look at the legal as well as the simplified versions of equity not too much on the

employment opportunities people are employed in rec and park department that's the part i think is got too much gray and shadow didn't quite make it the administrative of personnel call that good we have a lot of places in chinatown that aren't regularly open so i hear about acquisitions but not about managing a personnel from the perspective of approaching it and following it both equity where 0 people have assignment and reach different locations and have employment's available i don't know how to fits in with any of that i'd like very much to see equity of employment brought in a distribution

allocation of funds be available. >> anyone else who would like to make public comment. >> okay seeing none, public comment is closed. we're now on item 9 closed session is there anyone that want to make public comment under closed session? okay seeing none, public comment is closed. commissioners we do need a vote whether or not to hold closed session >> entertain a motion if i ask, ask all members of the public andsession. >> report on any action and second to close all or any transactions. >> ascertaentertain to motion >> all in favor, say i. >> i. >> not to move and on do you

want to report on any action taken. >> move to not disclose. >> all in favor, say i. >> i. >> so moved. >> thank you we are now on item 11 new agenda business setting i don't believe we have any public comment here public comment is closed. confusions the same and 13 adjournment the wanted to adjourn commissioner president buell. >> in sue, jim and pat and bob. >> thank you and second. >> second. >> all in favor, say i. >> i. >> thank you very much and thank you, mr. city attorney for your excellent program.

things our board president and supervisor london breed. >> (clapping.) >> good morning, everybody. and welcome to the entering sunset i'll honored to be here but represent this district thank you to the mayor and the many city departments that will help make the neighborhoods a better community for those to live and tlieft i was a former member of the african-american when we made investments into renovating the place and making that beautiful i noticed the difference when someone would drop something on the ground i saw kids picking up trash i saw kids painting the graffiti that was sometimes get placed on the building i saw people from the community planning department staff trees and doing whatever we could to make sure that we protected our space we protected our building and protected our

community doing this work is an important part of protecting the community and making the community better when you have pride in our community all of a sudden you notice a difference that's what it is about making sure the dollars we invest that all the city departments make it out to the residents all over the city so the quality of life improves it not just about picking up trash it is not just about covering up graffiti it is about making sure we all play a role and the residents of those communities can play a role in helping us to gnat some of the issues they counter and calling 311 you notice there is something or legally or trash when you notice graffiti and want to report something not an emergency call 311 and when there is an emergency when you see a crime happening

the car break-ins make sure. >> call but us the police department and report those crimes work together communicating and reporting it is what will help change the city for the better i'm committed to this i know how mayor is committed and our police department is committed i want to thank the folks from 311 and the hot team the homelessness outreach team especially i call them frequently to get services we know we have challenges in the city but we can't criticize what is not happening we have to focus on solutions and make sure we're investing the dollar on what needs to happen in order to get the job done 0 is every single resident can feel the difference that a $9.6 billion makes more housing and transportation better quality of life, safety we are investing what we are doing the work every single day

thank you you'll for being here and let's keep on working to make district 5 and the city and county of san francisco even better in the years to come thank you . >> (clapping.) >> thank you supervisor president london breed. >> so supervisor president london breed touched on is one of the my favorite piece of this job the relationships i get do build in the community that helps me decide and determine where to focus so andrea is a community member i had the pleasure of working with for many years but specifically in the intersunset like to introduce her to you. >> hi i'd like to thank the mayor and the city agencies for coming out and also to stress it is not about today we are a western neighborhood it often doesn't get attention from city hall but we video problems

and we feel powerless and frustrated with repeated car break-ins and watching people struggle with mental illness and i'm happy that sandra and the mayor recognize the problems are all connected not dealt with separately the city agencies need to work together trash, crime mental illness all those things have to be dealt with what we're doing is in the past clearly not working or not working in my opinion so i'm glad to have everybody here the streets all right look way cleaner than yesterday and i hope this will be more than a one-day event but 6 months from now and want to of the efforts in whatever way the city agency

needs to make things happen and reporting 311 is important thank you, everyone for coming today really appreciate it. >> (clapping.) >> thank you, ann debris that concludes our lunch of fix it for the intersunset we'll take a few questions. >>
