street on the 11th floor. "the allegory of california." there is a third one in supervisor melgar's district that she is looking to initiate in what has become known as the diego theater. this one is actually the first of his works. it is in the historic timothy designed stock exchange tower. it is in the historic city club of san francisco. that includes not only this work by diego rivera commissioned by a great american artist in his own right but includes works of english artist harry dixon and other classic works.

while it looks huge, if you have been in there and that is a publicly accessible area in the city club, this is a relatively small mural by rivera's standards. mr. clerk, my staff gave you an image. maybe you can put that up on the screen. i see it now. as you can see from this photo that adorns the staircase inside of the building and like many it wraps on the ceiling, you can see it at the top. at the center is a huge female

figure with the spirit of california. the female figure at the center was modeled after the tennis layer helen moody after whom the playground was named. she was born in the bay area and held the top position in women's tennis for almost a decade. the state of california is supporting its citizens is depicted showing the natural bounty, the fruits and her hands there on the right-hand side of the image. below are men with a blueprint of mathematical tools, lumber yak, model air plant. elderly plan with farming

utensils, farm workers and the forefront of if fresco depicts historical figures important to the development and art in the state of california including the of scaffold and victor barn hoff. he focused on blue-collar workers, which was in line with the socialist, not communist beliefs and was meant to highlight the workers that kept the state afloat and moved it forward. i look forward to your support of this initiation and hopefully in the near future we will have landmarked all three of rivera's

treasures for the city and county of san francisco. as i mentioned earlier the one we previously initiated will be in front of historic preservation commission on may 5th. thank you planning commission staff for their work to develop a report on that one. i am happy to hear from planning department staff. i want to thank my open staff. >> thank you very much for that thorough and fascinating presentation supervisor peskin. mr. carol, let's go to public comment, please. >> thank you, we are joined from the department of technology checking to see if we have callers in the queue.
