date. through research of other organizations and having meetings with the different departments, we were able to create an accessibility criteria. to establish what information should be displayed to the public. so going from left to right, we have a ramp that connects onto the play structure. accessible picnic table. accessible parking spots, accessible fountains, sensory play elements, play structures, adaptive swings and transportiers. for the need for my project came about due to the lack of easily accessible information on the website. so this is how the page -- this is how you would access any accessibility information on the website currently. so at the top of the page, you

have the disability questions section. once you press that, it will lead you to this page. and then on this page, there is only one link -- or there was only one link that would lead to the accessibility index. once you click that link, it takes you to this page here. right now this page has several major issues. the table is formatted incorrectly. the information is outside of the margins. and generic descriptions that offer no real insight on what the parks have to offer. and once you click on the detailed page link, you would get that same generic description at the top. you wouldn't have any photos. and you would have no information on equipment or amenities. and so if you go back to the

disability questions page, you would get a new link titled children's play areas with our new page. and so now the pages have been updated with the new table. you can use filters to access the type of equipment you'd like to see. everything has been formatted correctly. and if you go to the detailed page now, you'll have -- everything should be screen reader accessible. the photos have text. you have a list of amenities available at each location. and you have a side bar icon to provide more visual information. and so on this slide, i have a preview of what the photos would look like once you access the details page. going from left to right, you

have the accessible play structure, accessible fountains, the accessible picnic areas, accessible parking, accessible bathrooms and ramps connecting onto the structure. we did find a few problem areas with the san francisco rec and park children play areas. for example, we have a photo of adaptive swings that are missing harnesses and the seats are actually placed too low. on the second photo, we have an accessible picnic table that has been blocked off, thus making it inaccessible for a wheelchair. for the last photo, we have sandwich is an inaccessible play surface. i found more issues. here i have a pie chart of the types of swings in the 55 children's play areas. only two of them had an adaptive

swing with a harness and seven with belt harness and six with a disk swing. out of the play areas, only 10 of them had a ramp connected to the structure for wheelchair access. and so sfrpd, they do a lot of things well. so for example here, starting from left to right, we have an adaptive swing with a plastic harness. in the middle, we have a ramp that connects to the structure. on the right, we have a disde dis-swing. these are all good starts, but we should look to other examples that exceed ada standards. so here i have a map circling san francisco, paloalitio and san jose. early on in my internship, my

supervisor told me that a lot of parents would drive down to these two locations in san francisco to find play equipment that would suit their children's needs. so the first one here is a rotary play garden in san jose. they have wheelchair accessible equipment. and the surface is relatively flat to ease the transition from playstation to playstation. and then we have magical bridges playground in palo alto. when a kid in the wheelchair needs to get back on, they can easily do that. on the right we have six adaptive swings in one location providing more swings for everybody. and so, the next steps that we

want to take is to -- so basically we want to be the standard of what an inclusive playground should be. currently we do enough to meet the standards for our children's play areas, so that involves a lot of education and just public outreach and engaging the community on how we can improve. i've done that, i've presented this project to san francisco rec and park's head management and general manager phil ginsburg and i'm continuing to advocate for just designing a truly inclusive playground for everybody. that's all i have for you today. >> next, one of the questions that came up, was about how rec and park outreaches to the public about capital projects.

so pauline was going to talk about that. we did have slides for that as well. >> good afternoon, council. i'm a project manager with capital division. and i also am access coordinator for physical access. i've been the coordinator, i think, for the last 10 years. i am very pleased that we got lucas on the program side to get the internship for these very, very eye opening great projects, especially for the capital division. the capital division, we are about 10 to 12 project managers

that undertake the renovations of the existing facilities and new facilities that come to the rec and park department. and lucas and anthony are going to come to capital division to really get to the project managers. they need that we have to be able to work with the tight budgets that we have as much as inclusiveness and accessibility that we can have in our playgrounds and facilities. with that said, you know, this is a very exciting for us. and nicole has been, in the last year, been an advocate for us to really open our eyes at the funding, that we have to be able to add accessibility, because basically all of our projects have accessibility, but the more

that we can do for projects that are not bond projects or projects that really depend on general funding, that is something that nicole and the ada accessibility program at rec and park is trying to increase. with that said, nicole asked about our quarterly meetings at the capital division, about our community planning process. because when a new project comes in the pipeline, the first thing that we do, once we have determined budget and scope of work, we have three or four community meetings, which basically, we outreach to the community to let them know that we have a new project and we want to hear about their thoughts about the project, what is needed, what works, what

doesn't work, what are the priorities? and then, we have another -- this is the first meeting. the second meeting, we come and we hear them and we have a plan, kind of a concept plan that we work together to be able to come out with renovation of a new project. so how do we get people to come to these meetings? first thing that we do is traditional mail. we have resident 300 radios of the park property, that is extra livingsal. we also -- traditional. we also go to associations that are key and basic for the communities. for example, magic, in the bayview district. they do monthly meetings, so we go and notify about the upcoming

projects. we also post signage. you know in the park, on the fences of the park, on bulletin boards of the neighborhood. so depending on the neighborhood, we make sure we go to starbucks and grocery stores to be able to notify and we ask, can we post a notice here for your clients to see it? and then, of course, after we do this on-site posting and traditional mail, we depend online. online is what people are doing these days. and we have the website which we have new letters that come every week. and they advertise all our projects, all our meetings, all our programs that we have. and we also have that website

and the news letter. we communicate very closely with supervisors and get in their news letters. the social media, we have a facebook. we have next door, hoodline, all the projects that our community outreach staff recommends that we do. and, of course, for our stakeholders, we depend so much -- we have good relationship with them. so basically, they are supporting the projects and they're advocates for the new renovations so the new projects. so we go, our stakeholders are at the local community groups. organizations, schools. our city departments, mta, you know, dph.

we are projects that are in the same area. we work together with them. we work also with mod, mayor's office of disability projects. we like to come to these meetings where we can inform the public and inform yourself of what we're doing. and we have volunteers, lots of volunteers that work with rec and park. and persons that have worked with us in the sports. and in the space we're renovating. so this is basically the core element that we do for our out reach. each outreach in the community is never the same. you have communities that are more responsive, you know, when there is a community. but they have other communities as we have experience in the

bayview that there is a lack of trust or some don't believe that the projects are happening, so what we do, we go to them. we drive to the events they have on the weekends and present our project to the different organizations, meeting after school programs. and we try to be able to get everyone involved in the way we have a project that is successful, that everyone can feel they have participation. >> co-chair senhaux: thank you very much. just because we're at time, i wanted to just do a check to see if we can run a few more minutes? but i don't know if our interpreters are available. thank you. >> that concludes my presentation. and we're open for any questions. >> co-chair senhaux: thank you for a very detailed and thank you for answering our questions. i'm going to answer up to

council member questions. this is the line of order we have. council member helen, orkid and alex. please go ahead. >> council member smolinski: just quickly, thank you all for coming. we really appreciate it. anthony, great job. okay. i hope it was a good experience for you. please know as a parent of a child in a wheelchair, that this is an issue that is near and dear to my heart. in fact, it was other parents who, while my child is -- has multiple disabilities, other parents have come to me with this very issue that they were planning birthday parties at san francisco parks, and had gone online on park and rec's website to identify a park to make sure

that the playground had accessible equipment. and that's how we got here today. thank you. you and your whole department. lucas, et cetera, for being so expensive to this need that our council identified from the community. so that's huge. glad to see there is such progress and we're going to get to the rest of the playgrounds, right? okay. okay, because that is really the question that i hope maybe was in your head while you were doing all this. you're not banned. you can come up. because it was really about, hey, i want to plan this birthday party for my child at a san francisco playground. not only is it accessible, but we're going to assume it's wheelchair accessible to get in and out, but is there playground equipment for my kid and his or her peers to enjoy?

that was something that was needed. the information needed to be more easily accessible on your website. it sounds like there is a lot of progress toward that. that should be the question in your mind. that was the goal. and then just lastly, with regard to the outreach, again, it's all about, i feel like the website to a great extent. if you can make your website. there was an excel spreadsheet and i love your use of the word generic. it had so much generic information next to every playground it made the excel spreadsheet meaningless. so a long -- you go a long way for your outreach if you just improve your website. my specific question for lucas, why isn't your department keeping track of the numbers? you mentioned a couple of times, we haven't kept track of that, but there was the one about kids who need accommodations and

inclusion services. i would think keeping track of the request for that and the number that are fulfilled would go a long way toward informing your services and service delivery. >> and i think what i meant, maybe it wasn't clear, we're not keeping track of the percentage of people who need accommodations, but we do keep track of who is requesting accommodations and what accommodations we're providing. and the other piece of that is just registration in general, how many people with disabilities are registering for programs. so we do have records and our rec therapists have files on all the participants. and you know, what their assessments say and what accommodations they've requested and what we've provided, but it's not -- i don't have those

numbers in our rec stat system to show how many total we've served, but that is something we could tally up. we do it each summer or each season, but not total numbers. so i mean, you're right. there are all different ways we need to tell our story and present those numbers. and some we have not done yet. >> council member smolinski: to be frank, i would be curious to see if the number of kids with disabilities that you're serving at rec and park is proportional to the number in our school district. you know, i think those numbers tell a story of whether park and rec is meeting the need. or if there is an outstanding need and you need more budget, right? >> so, yes, absolutely. >> council member smolinski: thank you. >> truth is, it's a tiny percentage and the schools have to serve all kids and we're

serving a tiny percentage, so we do want to increase that. >> co-chair senhaux: thank you. >> council member sassouni: yes, okay, thank you so much for your presentation and especially for the asl programs. the summer registration is always filled and i learned from the newspaper, it said that first priority is low, that quite often the summer camps are full. and this is the fifth year that i couldn't register for as much as i would like to. i was only able to get my son into one program. i notice often that other parents, you know, sometimes parents -- the kids are saying it's not enough fun, so if you could add more diversity or variety within the program, that would be great. and just in summary, in terms of the deaf-blind program, how

often do you offer that program? once a week or two times a week? i was wondering because my understanding, it seems just once a week. two times a week would be great. and also for those individuals with developmental disabilities, for example, it's capped at one week, it would be great if it was longer than one week. asl learners. i have not seen a lot about that. it's like once every couple of months. and then families with babies who want to learn asl, it's limited. is it because there is not enough numbers? but i think it's great that you offer the twice a year, the deaf gathering in spring and winter, right? is that correct? i think that's great, continue that. that is a big positive. i just wish that there were more after-school activities at the

play areas, because it seems they're just right now just located one place. and my son goes to school in a different area and so to get there, it eats up a lot of time. so that is another thing. i wish there were more asl programs offered around the city as opposed to just that one location and wondering if that is a possibility. i'm just throwing that out there. >> not sure if i remembered all the question about the different programs, but the asl learning program is definitely one of our biggest goals is to provide a place for parents who have a deaf child to come and learn sign language. we would love to get parents in there with deaf babies to come and learn with us. we did expand that program to every week. it's every tuesday afternoon now and will continue through the summer. oh, the asl, the program that is for people who are deaf and blind is once a week. and it's a really tiny program.

we'd love to grow it. and if it expands more, we could do it twice a week. the program we offer for the tool works clients is once a week, on wednesdays. it will continue through the summer. but one of the cool things, as far as inclusion, those clients through tool works are signing up for other -- they do water fitness and yoga and water aerobics and they do like five different programs during the week. so we are providing a lot to those clients through inclusion services as well. i think i got most of the questions. >> co-chair senhaux: thank you. >> council member sassouni: after school? >> so, the one that is the asl after-school program, that is tiny as well. we only have eight kids in that program and that is just in the mission. i would love to expand it, too, or at least provide staff who sign more of our programs to

make them accessible to signers and families who use asl. we do sometimes have staff people at some of those programs, but we don't have specific asl programs at any other locations right now. >> co-chair senhaux: thank you. council member alex. >> council member madrid: a couple of questions. one, how come on our data i didn't see any -- particularly on mobility -- disability. are there any data for that? and making accessibility for all

parks and kids. i just wondered even though you guys are trying to make playgrounds more accessible, i just want to emphasize the area has to be accessible, too. getting in and out. our park needs to be accessible. >> it's true, i don't have any specialized programs for people with mobility disabilities, but that is something that we really want to offer, some sports. adaptive sports and hopefully competitive sports and opportunities for people with mobility disabilities. so that is an area we're hoping to expand into more. and, yes, the accessibility at facilities is really important. and that is something that

paulina and her team works on. like anthony's project shows, there is lot more we can do with play areas and physical areas to make them more accessible. >> council member madrid: i was just wondering, you guys making the facility more inclusive. thank you. >> i just want to say that, we did analysis of the san francisco recreation department accessibility for recreational elements included in the 2010ada standards, which included playground, golf courses, pools, courts fishing piers, all the ones that go through the department of inspection when we do renovation projects.

we did a presentation here to the council around 2016. and we -- they were really happy to see that in our playgrounds, when we analyzed this, the study was based on accessibility to the playground itself, through the recreation, but also there are many that serve them, like the restrooms, the parking. you know. if they were connected to recreation center. and our playgrounds run at 75% that we have accessibility, physical access. of which i think it was at least 50% or 65% that included not only the recreational limit, but

the many that serve it. so in capital, when we do capital projects, renovations, new playgrounds, facility is one of the key elements we work with. that makes it. but everybody, there are things, we need to put more swings that are accessible. but the fact that sometimes we're limbed by the space -- limited by the space that we have for the playground to create these traveling elements like in st. mary's park, you know, st. mary's, we have where

a person can get into a structure with a wheelchair, it's a very long area. that is something we have to do and we have renovations in big areas to do it. but, yes, it is on our mind and we can do more of it. >> nicole: your point is well taken. i want to add. i know we need to end very soon. that as part of the planning, we are also looking at the path of travel in and out of the parks. and play areas as part of what we're analyzing so that all of the features can be connected in the best way possible. >> co-chair senhaux: thank you, presenters. i appreciate your time. and waiting. so thank you so much. i want to open up public comment on this agenda item. and i want to thank the people that were waiting to speak for their patience.

>> thank you for waiting. >> i want to thank mod for going late on this, i appreciate it. i want to address a couple of things about access with parks and rec. first i want to say that paulina during her presentation was talking about outreach and said that the average people near the park, 300 feet radius, that does not seem far enough at all. i would think that if you're going to do construction in a park, at least three blocks would be reasonable. 300 feet is nothing. also, paulina has been very hard to get ahold of over e-mail. very hard to reach. it seems necessary to copy mod staff every time i want to reach them for something. it seems like a huge waste of resources. they could just respond and that would make life easier. i want to talk about the access

of holly park, which is an important park to me. it has five entrances for able-bodied people and one for wheelchair users. that one requires me, once i get to the park, i have to go four city blocks around the park to get to the wheelchair accessible entrance. then i have a go up a huge hill and another couple blocks just to get to the bathroom. so i could be at the park with the bathroom in sight, 100 feet away from me and i still have to go four blocks across the hill to get to the bathroom. that is crazy. i would love to get to this park and access it like able bodied people, without having a travel eight blocks to and from the non-accessible entrance i live near. also that park in 2013, my local monastery was killed by a park and rec worker driving a truck. i want to know if park and rec

will make any sort of guarantee that they will stop driving trucks and motorcycles through our parks while we're laying down and relaxing and feeling safe. i see no reason motor vehicles should go through a tiny park like holly park. golden gate park is a huge park, but especially after someone has been murdered. i saw trucks go through that park and it's insane and unsafe for people with disabilities, especially because i can't run out of the way of a truck. thank you. >> co-chair senhaux: anyone on the bridge line for public comment? okay. we're going to go ahead and close public comment. we're going to go to public comment number 9, item on the agenda, but within the jurisdiction of mdc. i understand that we have someone that would like to speak. >> yes, mr. bruce stier, california senior legislator. >> thank you, mr. stier, for

waiting for your time. >> thank you for allowing me to speak. i know it's past adjournment time and i'll try to keep my comments to the required three minutes. my name is bruce, i'm a retired navy doctor living in san francisco. i'm here to talk to you about a california building code standard that is that all public staircases must have handrails without exception. 20 years ago, when i was only 68, the giants opened up their new stadium. and i became a fan.

i noticed in the first game, i sat down at field level and no handrails, but i was 68, so i was able to skip, jump, hop down, even holding a beer and hot dog. but as i got older, i couldn't do that. nothing to hold onto to go down 24 steps. sometimes as i got older, i would hold on the their shoulder, but sometimes i would come with an older person like myself, i have to get the usher. if there wasn't an usher, i had to put my hand on the strangers sitting in the aisle. as a member of the california sea legislature, i was suggest

ed to get in touch with the american disabilities act people, and i did. someone who could arbitrate. and i met with him and four attorneys representing the giants at the stadium. four attorneys. and they prevailed, because they decided that they had hooked up the ada rules -- looked up the ada rules and if the disability is only for -- [bell ringing] -- not just disabled people, but people who have disabilities, they don't require -- it's not in their jurisdiction. so i'm here today to let you know, that without handrails, seniors, vulnerable people in the community are at risk for

falling and dying and it's time that the giants put up handrails. they do have handrails -- [bell ringing] -- upper grandstand but the field level ones, they did not feel they needed to put the handrails there and i asked, what is your objection? it's not that costly for you people. and their objection was, it may block the view of people sitting on the aisle. all they have to do is move their head two inches and they'll be able to see if the handrail wasn't there. i implore that this council and maybe the board of supervisors to act with haste to make the giants understand that they are not exempt from the building code. thank you. >> co-chair senhaux: thank you, sir. we're going to go onto information item number 10. any correspondence?

oh. my apologies. zack, please proceed. >> co-chair senhaux: do we have a comment on the bridge line? i'm sorry. okay. no problem. thank you. thank you, sir. i meant to say this at the beginning of the meeting, but i wanted to extend an invite to an event i was hosting. featuring five lightning talks from entrepreneurs. you can register for the events at diverseability.

special thanks to our city administrator, naomi kelly, and your entire team. merely -- mayor lee's staff and our own library team for coming together this morning to launch this book, highlighting mayor ed lee's leadership. the library appreciate this opportunity to add such important work to our collection for future generations to learn about his leadership and his contributions to the city and county of san francisco. the book "mayor lee and the city he loved" will be a treasured asset for the san francisco public library. as a student of history and leadership, i look forward to reading this book myself. it highlights not only his leadership, but also his concern for the residents of san francisco. his dedication to this city, and his humour and his kindness. i remain so impressed by the love and devotion his staff

showed for mayor lee and the joy and friendship you brought to our city family. what you might not know is that mayor ed lee and his family were regular library users, and tremendous champions of the branch system. in fact, his leadership of the city's public works department paved the way for the branch library improvement program which saw the renovation of 16 neighborhood libraries and the construction of eight brand-new libraries. this program ensures that all branches were seismically safe, a.d.a. accessible, and prepared to deliver 21st century library services. the branch library improvement program was the largest capital program in the library's history once the branches were completed , he turned his focus to the main library, supporting the creation of a state-of-the-art digital media lab lab for teenagers, the mix. the mix provides a safe space

for teens to come together and create music, videos, learn coding, and do homework. the mix is a great legacy for our mayor who recognized the growing need for our youth to have access to technology and opportunities to compete in the newtek economy. mayor lee also helped us launch the bridge, our literacy and learning centre on the fifth floor of the main library. this space features two award-winning literacy programs. one does not help models, and the other designed to help young people learn how to read. it also features a veteran's resource center, and an accredited online skies -- high school program. as the city prospered, mayor lee ensured the library system and our residents prospered as well. he provided the critical support to allow us to hire more staff and open every library every day , creating seven-day a week

service at all 28 library locations. our libraries are a basket of democracy for all residents, and mayor lee recognize the importance they served as anchors in our neighborhoods. it is fitting that we launch this book during asian and pacific islander heritage month. as the first asian-american to leave the san francisco public library, i stand on the giant shoulders of mayor lee, our first asian-american mayor. i aspire to shepherd our library system in the same professional manner that mayor lee dilute -- directed the city. it is my pleasure to introduce our city administrator naomi kelly. [applause] >> thank you, michael. i have to say that i have some fond memories of working with mayor lee and supporting the library. he personally had me fundraising

for the teen digital center digital center down at the main library, one city hall turned 100, we worked closely with michael and susan goldstein to make sure that we honor the beauty and the history of san francisco. i just want to recognize, as michael did, that i am so happy that you are here today, anita lee. we talked the last year and more about honouring mayor lee and his legacy, and all that he has done for this city, and i have enjoyed and treasured each of those conversations because i still feel have, and malcolm has been part of many of those conversations, i feel that together, we are going to keep this story alive, and everything that he has done for the city of san francisco. i also want to give a heartfelt thanks to all of his former staff and his colleagues who contributed to this book.

they all came through with stories, with facts, with data, just so that the residents in the visitors of san francisco know the history of what was accomplished in his time as mayor, and i see many of my colleagues here in the audience today and i want to thank you for being here. today's presentation is to formally memorialize mayor ed lee's accomplishments, and as a historical document, it will remind generations to come about the amount of work you put into the city of san francisco. there was a time of growth and transition. ed literally rolled up his sleeves and got down to business , and not without his signature smile and his humourous jokes. although his time with us with the city was way too short, we can all agree that he was able to accomplish many things during his administration from 2011 to 2017. he was kind, he was generous, he

was thoughtful, he was humourous he was influential in addressing street homelessness with the first navigation center model during his administration. he launched and invested in neighborhoods, for neighborhoods and small business along local merchant corridors. he improved public housing, including one right down the street. when he became mayor, it was during the recession. he focused on job growth and local higher, and as always, from the time he was city administrator to the time he was mayor, he focused on our infrastructure and our -- infrastructure and our resilience, and keeping future generations of san francisco safe, but there's not enough time for me to go through all his accomplishments, which is why i'm so very happy to formally present mayor lee and the city he loved, a summary of his accomplishments from 2011 to 2017, to the daniel e. san francisco historic center which

contains the official archive for the city and county of san francisco. with this, i would like to invite former ed lee staff member, malcolm young, to the podium to say a few words. [applause] >> thank you, naomi. my name is malcolm young, i am a current -- i'm currently over at chinatown community development center where we build affordable housing and really try to make sure that chinatown is a great community and remains an immigrant gateway. i want to say congratulations to michael on being the new director of our library. you are inheriting a great system and we are excited you will make it better. we are excited we are doing this event here. i had the privilege of working for mayor lee in 2011 and 2012 as his first affordable housing advisor.

i think people forget that prior to mayor lee becoming mayor, affordable housing isn't exactly the issue that we have today. when people say affordable housing in san francisco, the question isn't, whether we need affordable housing, really the fight is over how much affordable housing we need. i think people forget that prior to mayor lee, this city hadn't passed a single affordable housing ballot measures since 1996. in 2012, coming out of recession , he really reshapes the conversation around affordable housing in san francisco. it was a moment whenever the housing market was down and there's a lot of contentiousness around whether or not we needed to do affordable housing, but mayor lee had a vision. he understood that this city is always going to have that issue, and he knew coming out of the recession that we were going to recover, and affordability would be important. with a housing trust fund process, he pulled together a working table that this city really hadn't seen, in probably 15 years.

it was a table consisting of housing advocates, of whom i was formerly in their rank, market rate developers, landlords, it was really a truly remarkable table at that time, and i think what people forget is that prior to that moment, that table wasn't happening. we successfully went on to passed the housing trust fund in 2012, and then subsequently, the mayor mayor used the same model to past the housing bond -- to pass the housing bond in 2015. he is the first and only mayor to pass two affordable housing ballot measures ever. i mention this because we are in a moment right now where we will be putting another affordable housing bond measure on the ballot in november, a 600 million-dollar bond measure, and it is critical. we need to pass it. it is the largest ever. mayor breed has been a staunch champion of this bond, but i think in this moment, we need to take a step back and remember ed 's role in putting that table

together, and refashioning the conversation around affordability in the city. in addition to that, in many ways, we are also standing in ed 's neighborhood. there is no block on this neighborhood where ed hasn't had an imprint, and i just don't mean in his role as a city. well prior to him joining the city, he was a young attorney at the asian law caucus. those were his early years coming out of law school. during that time, he led the way in fighting for civil rights, particularly within the city, disaggregating the fire department is one of the lawsuits that he filed, but near and dear to my heart, he was also a champion for tenant's writes an affordable housing, yet again. he fought so many anti- eviction battles in this neighborhood, including the famous one at orange land, you know, where it really set the tone for chinatown and chinatown valuing the rights of tenants, and the rights of people to remain. ed also was the attorney who

represented the opinion resident improvement association in the first affordable public housing rent strike, to really drive for safer conditions. he won that one, too, and that had a lasting imprint on ed, which led to his work around affordable housing. lastly, i just want to say, i am really glad that this book was pulled together, as an airport commissioner. we do have an aviation library, we typically don't really put anything in it that doesn't include aviation, but, you know, in about a week, we hope that we will be able to make another great announcement regarding ed 's legacy. i can't vote on it, but i believe that this coming tuesday , the international terminal is going to be named after mayor ed lee. it is the culmination of about a year, year and a half of work by a joint, you know, community

efforts with contributions from everybody, and i don't know if naomi wants to also say she contributed, too, but i think it would be appropriate to have this publication in the airport 's library as well, and we commit to buying a million copies. >> i think we will stand together so that you can see the official. we will present it to mrs. lee. >> here we go.
