and beautiful and you get to know people in very different ways over the course of your career and seeing this side of this side of denny, has really been nothing short of inspiring. i know he's going to do everything he can to get back in the chair because he's got more work to do. so we're all rooting for him and denny. like hell you're not watching this commission meeting but if you are, we're thinking about you and love you very much. >> and just a little background on denny, a 20-year career with the u.s. navy. most people would have retired at that point, instead he takes on this operations job he's been doing it for almost 18

years now. and one of the most impressive people i've met in my time in the commission. he's totally under the radar, he does not seek or need attention, he does a fantastic and he gave me as a commissioner my first behind the scenes tour when i was shortly after i was sworn in. and he told me that he only scratched the surface and he said and i'm going to give you another tour, so we exchanged emails and talked last week and i'm holding him to it. i want that second that tour. and our hearts go out to kate and denny, and with that military background, he's going to come through this well. >> he is, a another denny a

very very passionate skier and coming from me, this means a lot, probably the best dressed rec and park employee, i mean, you know, i don't know. but he's got festedious sense of fashion. he's a great skier, somebody who dives deep into organizational development, his favorite organizational development phrase which is something that we take serious re, culture eats strategy for lunch. and he, just quick highlight about his military career and he does not like to talk about it, denny was the chief of staff to an under secretary of the navy on 9/11. and at the time the under secretary was touring a bunch

of grad you'd student engineers in the pentagon when the bomb, with you know when with the plane hit. and denny is the individual who lead that entire group including the deputy secretary to safety at a point to where if you took a wrong turn in that building, you may not survive. so he's absolutely a hero in so many way sxz part of our team. what is amazing about teams, players on the team get injured and have to be injured. so a big thank you to eric anderson. also doing double duty as acting director of operations. to a person on denny's team, everybody is making sure to a

standard that denny would approve continues. >> thank you. can we ask commissioner louie to say a few words. >> i'm a sunday school teacher and i've been doing that for 23 years. but i would like to bough our heads and give a blessing to denny, thank you for keeping him safe as he recovers and continue to heal him and we know he's going to come out of this. and we just want a special blessing for him. >> thank you, commissioner. on that note, let's move on. >> clerk: thank you, everybody. okay. >> thank you for asking, i appreciate it. >> clerk: we're now on item 4 general public comment. up to 15 minutes this item will

argullo avenue, name the seating area for the bay area young survivors breast cancer memorial garden, approve of donor recognition plan. as you may recall, bays as offered a combination of cash for construction of this renovated seated area in december of 2022, this commission approved the grant and just yesterday, approval was received from the board of supervisors budget and finance committee. the bay area young survivors as i call them bays is a supporting action group for the san francisco bay area diagnosed with breast cancer at 45 years of age or younger. under the guidance of rec park

staff, they inskieder for opportunity to honor their loved members. they engaged inside out design, a landscape to draft preliminary ideas. over the years rec park bays and designer discuss a possibility of a landscape improvement project with the memorial elements in golden gate park. en spieser by the aids memorial grove as an example of a public amenity and a dedicated memorial space, the bay's team worked with rec and park and settled in a small seating area located behind the conservatory flowers. this slide shows the location of the proposed project and existing seating area in the goenld gate parka long east where it needs conservatory drive west right behind the conservatory flowers.

as you can see in the photos f the seating area is worn out. there is some tattered and saging chain link fence. in the next few slides, i'll show a different perspective of the concept plan which is a rejuvenated area to offer the public more respit from daily life, admire nature, contemplate lives lost and reflect on survivors. the scope includes a new entry path, signage, a plaza, a seating area and the memorial element. here's another perspective to give a sense of the space. and how it will feel. and here's another perspective as well.

propose add memorial is a steel element which can be seen on the left of the element. they will feature bays of members lost and those members commemorated overtime. to en come bass those affected by breast cancer, the memorial will include words like friend, partner, grandmother, aunt et cetera. in terms of materials, the steel memorial element is of the main motioners as well as entry signage that will provide a little information about the bay's memorial garden and the donors as well. there is material for paving, for inspirational inscriptions embedded in thed paving. as well as planting areas that are accented by bolders and

wood and stone seating. here's a paving plan, the existing pathway down to the conservatory of flowers will remain as it is, you can see them leading off to the left. the planting plan includes additional planting no true removals, the planting of one additional oak and generally in keeping in with the plant pellet of the oak wood lands will include other natives, clear existing invasive plants to en concluded the oaks and addition of oak wood land community plant spoesis. beener species. they have offered a grant funding for design and construction of the renovated seated area and elements. in december of 2022, the commission approved a grant and

the grant just received approval from the finance committee yesterday. in terms of schedule, we aim to break ground in the late fall and hopefully woel be celebrating the renovated space next spring. these two slides highlight the community out reach and some of our support that we built along the way. a rec park and bay's virtual community meeting in march of 2022, we invited the public and areas to the community meetings where the preliminary redine was presented. about 25 people attended the meetings and expressed support of the project. about 15 members shared support letter fm these logos show organizations supporting this project. the staff report has a full list of supporters. for example the project is adjacent to the ridge trail

right at the intersection of adullo and as janet mcbride shared in her letter, believes improving this space will provide a resting place for hikers and as they make their way along the trail. over the years, the team has reviewed concept plans from rec staff from the operations and structural maintenance can and proposed maz received support and approval from this commission, the san francisco arts commission and the mayor's office of disability. in addition to their generation donation base is committed to providing on going volunteer efforts to help maintain the site and to manage the memorial element. in conclusion i would like to reread the discussion and possible action to one approve the concept plan for the

seating area on conservatory drive east, two, name the seating area the bay area young survivors breast cancer memorial garden. and 3, approve a donor recognize anything the young breast cancer memorial garden, approve is approval action as designed by sf code chapter 31, this concludes my presentation. please let me know if you have any questions, thank you commissioners. >> thank you, very much. >> clerk: is there anyone in room 416 that would like to comment on item 7? all right, seeing no one, we have one comment. you'll have two minutes. >> speaker: my name is alex sabo i'm the out reach manager at the bay area ridge trail council.

the ridge trail is a long distance hiking along the bay. today it's over 400 miles. i think already mentioned the bay's memorial proejt site is right adjacent to the park and we believe that the space will truly provide a beautiful hiking point for all the hikers traveling along the ridge trail maybe stopping for arrest or a connecting with the nature. we definitely appreciate how healing nature can be and creating this memorial in such a beautiful outdoor space in the city will provide a really comforting space for bay members and their families. but beyond recognizing how important it is for the bay community, we see new opportunities for city residents and visitors and arrest, celebrate or connect with nature in this beautiful space. we see it as a great benefit to

not only to users but improvement to the wider community as well. involved us in this project over a year ago. so we know that they're strong and reliable partners committed to maintaining the space so that future members and the wider community can continue to enjoy it. so we want to reiterate that we support this project and ask you to approve the naming and donor recognition plans, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> clerk: next speaker. >> speaker: good morning, erin i'm rosie i'm here to talk about the breast. breast cancer has changed my life when i was diagnosed at the age of 30. it was through this journey that i was introduced to bay

>> yes. >> i would like to make a motion to approve the concept plan for the golden gate bay area park and donor recognition. >> there is a second, commissioner griffin. all those in favor. >> aye. >> aye. >> so moved, unanimously. thank you omar. >> congratulations. boy or girl? >> it's a boy. >> we are now on item 8, woh hei yuen park with beverly. >> short and sweet. i'm beverly ng here with the public affairs for rec and park. i'm presenting on behalf of operations team that is taking majority of the work. so to give a little background

in history, early on, prepandemic, former commissioner had come to our department to, peek interest. there are fences on the border side of the park but it is not a gated enclosed park. it is a active park because there are children play areas that where children services use and a couple of other playground uses for other uses as well and chinese community development center is also a tenant in that location. it's a small bit of res pided in china town for a lot of seniors. so during that time period when former commissioner came to us, we were going to find way to see fund for it and he had suggested the commission reserve as a way to fund for the gate.

that's children don't wander off. but the interest for the gate still came up so we are now basically coming to you all to ask the commission to consider using 20,000 dollars for a gate, it would be 7 feet tall, it opens in wards, it would not deteriorate from any park usage, it will match the same material of the existing fencing around the park itself. there is interest in maybe changing park hours because currently the park hours is 5:00 am to midnight and if the community wants to change it, i basically invited them back to reconsider. but for now, the gate will open according to the park hours. >> thank you very much. >> clerk: is there any public

comment on item 8 in room 416? seeing none, is there anyone with their hand raised on our webex? no hands raised. public comment is closed. commissioners? >> commissioner louie. >> well woh hei is a vital park community. there is no place to have an egg hunt, so like beverly reported there is a lot of usage for this park it has a nice green area, i myself with a couple of preschools over the year had easter egg hunts there and clean ups. and i just want to mention like any other park, during the clean up, we found really bad things in the bushes and in the play structure.

so having this gate would be very vital at night. they would lock it and the ununinvited intruder or whoever ends up doing what they do, that will keep them out. so thank you this came up in operations and i think chair h allisy agrees that this is a vital space in town. >> thank you, commissioner griffin. >> this is my hear about this. i understand how vital open space is in china town. it's really deprived of a lot of open space. i'm just curious as to where it is? >> beverly? >> i don't have the cross streets off the top of my head.

>> like she said, bell and washington. >> it's a small little section in a very dense neighborhood so it is well used and it is an area which has a lot of frequent traffic in terms of just people coming in and out from china town and all other areas as well. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> beverly a assuming approval of this will you express our to commissioner lowell to this and bringing it to fruition. >> yes. >> the chair will entertain a motion. >> clerk: president buell. somebody raised their hand rate, would you like to reopen public comment. >> of course i would. >> okay, you can unmute the caller. >> caller: hi i'm lee, i'm calling on behalf of the this

and we ask commissioner to to open space contingency to many insulation. most of the china town community and we do not have the lecture of having many playgrounds. many china town children live in building in single room, will continue are very calm and people live in small 10 by 10 room. the haven park, will ensure a super iar for children to pay.

members of the community have expressed their concerns from match people. and start and having the playground remain safe. in addition to this thing, we also want to raise that the park also need a new structure at the sprinklers and has been open since 1997. to be worked on for a different time. thank you, i ask the commissioners to approve this item. thank you. >> thank you. >> clerk: okay seeing no further callers, public comment is closed. >> chair will entertain a motion. >> so moved. >> second. >> moved and second. all those in favor. >> aye.

>> so moved, thank you. thank you beverly. >> clerk: all right we are now item 9 closed session, i'll be taking some announcements before we close the room. okay, so first we will take public comment on all matters pertaining to item 9 close session. is there anyone in room 416 that would like to comment? seeing none, is there anyone in the webex line with hand raised? all right, we'll be resuming general public comment after this item. so you're welcomed to call back in. seeing no further callers, public comment is closed. at this time, we ask all non pertinent staff to leave the meeting. and i'll announce who is present.

when i shoot chinatown, i shoot the architecture that people not just events, i shoot what's going on in daily life and everything changes. murals, graffiti, store opening. store closing. the bakery. i shoot anything and everything in chinatown. i shoot daily life. i'm a crazy animal. i'm shooting for fun. that's what i love.

>> i'm frank jane. i'm a community photographer for the last i think about 20 years. i joined the chinese historical society. it was a way i could practice my society and i can give the community memories. i've been practicing and get to know everybody and everybody knew me pretty much documenting the history i don't just shoot events. i'm telling a story in whatever photos that i post on facebook, it's just like being there from front to end, i do a good job and i take hundreds and hundreds of photos. and i was specializing in chinese american history.

i want to cover what's happening in chinatown. what's happening in my community. i shoot a lot of government officials. i probably have thousands of photos of mayor lee and all the dignitaries. but they treat me like one of the family members because they see me all the time. they appreciate me. even the local cops, the firemen, you know, i feel at home. i was born in chinese hospital 1954. we grew up dirt poor. our family was lucky to grew up. when i was in junior high, i had a degree in hotel management restaurant. i was working in the restaurant business for probably about 15 years. i started when i was 12 years old. when i got married, my wife had an import business. i figured, the restaurant

business, i got tired of it. i said come work for the family business. i said, okay. it's going to be interesting and so interesting i lasted for 30 years. i'm married i have one daughter. she's a registered nurse. she lives in los angeles now. and two grandsons. we have fun. i got into photography when i was in junior high and high school. shooting cameras. the black and white days, i was able to process my own film. i wasn't really that good because you know color film and processing was expensive and i kind of left it alone for about 30 years. i was doing product photography for advertising. and kind of got back into it. everybody said, oh, digital

photography, the year 2000. it was a ghost town in chinatown. i figured it's time to shoot chinatown store front nobody. everybody on grand avenue. there was not a soul out walking around chinatown. a new asia restaurant, it used to be the biggest restaurant in chinatown. it can hold about a 1,000 people and i had been shooting events there for many years. it turned into a supermarket. and i got in. i shot the supermarket. you know, and its transformation. even the owner of the

restaurant the restaurant, it's 50 years old. i said, yeah. it looks awful. history. because i'm shooting history. and it's impressive because it's history because you can't repeat. it's gone it's gone. >> you stick with her, she'll teach you everything. >> cellphone photography, that's going to be the generation. i think cellphones in the next two, three years, the big cameras are obsolete already. mirrorless camera is going to take over market and the cellphone is going to be better. but nobody's going to archive it. nobody's going to keep good history. everybody's going to take snapshots, but nobody's going

to catalog. they don't care. >> i want to see you. >> it's not a keepsake. there's no memories behind it. everybody's sticking in the cloud. they lose it, who cares. but, you know, i care. >> last september of 2020, i had a minor stroke, and my daughter caught it on zoom. i was having a zoom call for my grand kids. and my daughter and my these little kids said, hey, you sound strange. yeah. i said i'm not able to speak properly. they said what happened. my wife was taking a nap and my daughter, she called home and said he's having a stroke. get him to the hospital.

five minutes later, you know, the ambulance came and took me away and i was at i.c.u. for four days. i have hundreds of messages wishing me get well soon. everybody wished that i'm okay and back to normal. you know, i was up and kicking two weeks after my hospital stay. it was a wake-up call. i needed to get my life in order and try to organize things especially organize my photos. >> probably took two million photos in the last 20 years. i want to donate to an organization that's going to use it. i'm just doing it from the

heart. i enjoy doing it to give back to the community. that's the most important. give back to the community. >> it's a lot for the community. >> i was a born hustler. i'm too busy to slow down. i love what i'm doing. i love to be busy. i go nuts when i'm not doing anything. i'm 67 this year. i figured 70 i'm ready to retire. i'm wishing to train a couple for photographers to take over my place. the younger generation, they have a passion, to document the history because it's going to be forgotten in ten years, 20 years, maybe i will be forgotten when i'm gone in a couple years but i want to be remembered for my work and, you

know, photographs will be a remembrance. i'm frank jane. i'm a community photographer. this is my story. >> when you're not looking, frank's there. he'll snap that and then he'll send me an e-mail or two and they're always the best. >> these are all my p -

>> tenderloin is unique neighborhood where geographically place in downtown san francisco and on every street corner have liquor store in the corner it stores pretty much every single block has a liquor store but there are impoverishes grocery stores i'm the co-coordinated of the healthy corner store collaboration close to 35 hundred residents 4 thousand are children the medium is about $23,000 a year so a low income neighborhood many new immigrants and many people on fixed incomes

residents have it travel outside of their neighborhood to assess fruits and vegetables it can be come senator for seniors and hard to travel get on a bus to get an apple or a pear or like tomatoes to fit into their meals my my name is ryan the co-coordinate for the tenderloin healthy store he coalition we work in the neighborhood trying to support small businesses and improving access to healthy produce in the tenderloin that is one of the most neighborhoods that didn't have access to a full service grocery store and we california together out of the meeting held in 2012 through

the major development center the survey with the corners stores many stores do have access and some are bad quality and an overwhelming support from community members wanting to utilities the service spas we decided to work with the small businesses as their role within the community and bringing more fresh produce produce cerebrothe neighborhood their compassionate about creating a healthy environment when we get into the work they rise up to leadership. >> the different stores and assessment and trying to get them to understand the value of having healthy foods at a reasonable price you can offer people fruits and vegetables and healthy produce they can't afford it not going to be able to allow it

so that's why i want to get involved and we just make sure that there are alternatives to people can come into a store and not just see cookies and candies and potting chips and that kind of thing hi, i'm cindy the director of the a preif you believe program it is so important about healthy retail in the low income community is how it brings that health and hope to the communities i worked in the tenderloin for 20 years the difference you walk out the door and there is a bright new list of fresh fruits and vegetables some place you know is safe and welcoming it makes. >> huge difference to the whole environment of the community

what so important about retail environments in those neighborhoods it that sense of dignity and community safe way. >> this is why it is important for the neighborhood we have families that needs healthy have a lot of families that live up here most of them fruits and vegetables so that's good as far been doing good. >> now that i had this this is really great for me, i, go and get fresh fruits and vegetables it is healthy being a diabetic you're not supposed to get carbons but getting extra food a all carbons not eating a lot of vegetables

was bringing up my whether or not pressure once i got on the program everybody o everything i lost weight and my blood pressure came down helped in so many different ways the most important piece to me when we start seeing the business owners engagement and their participation in the program but how proud to speak that is the most moving piece of this program yes economic and social benefits and so forth but the personal pride business owners talk about in the program is interesting and regarding starting to understand how they're part of the larger

fabric of the community and this is just not the corner store they have influence over their community. >> it is an owner of this in the department of interior i see the great impact usually that is like people having especially with a small family think liquor store sells alcohol traditional alcohol but when they see this their vision is changed it is a small grocery store for them so they more options not just beer and wine but healthy options good for the business and good for the community i wish to have more

public ment in well is nobody on the phone line for public comment at this time thank you. public comment is now closed. i would like to make a motion to send item one, which is administrative code provisions good afternooning the small business commission dauts stot full board. >> on the motion vice chair walton. >> aye. >> supervisor safai. >> aye. >> chair dorsey. >> aye. iot motion passes without objection. >> thank you, mr. young. item one guess to the board with a positive recommendation. item 2 is an ordinance amending the code to remove the minimal cost weighing for design, build and contractor best value procure am and consideration of contract and performance

evidence and consider contractors for award of public works contract. >> thank you. we are joined by supervisor mandelman the sponsor. welcome. the floor is yours >> thank you, chair dorsey. the legislation you have before you today respondses to and implements 2 recommendations of 2 different civil grand juries one report came out in june of 2021. specifically looking at van ness brt challenges. and the other came out in april of 22. and looking for broadly at capitol project delivery. and so. initially we felt to combine the 2 sets of recommendations. we have in the course of conversation with city stake holders determined it might make

sense to operate them out. as currently drafted it would do 2 things. first, thing, this is out of june 21 report, would be to amend the administrative code to cost criteria in award of construction management general contractor or cmg conrackets and allow for department discretion weighing cost and noncosts on a case by case basis. the advance nesz brt wagz lives an allowance of low are waiting threshold but i think the grand jury concluded and others confirms cost waiting for contracts is not the right way tong about them and should think about the value of the contract and the capacity of the contractor to deliver the thing we are asking for rather than in the front end of what may be a long project get cost estimates

they have no religion to what may happen and do fighting about change orders for 10 years. so that , the first change would be that. the second thing the legislation would do is require and this is based on the 2022 civil grant jury report require chapter 6 departments to consider a contractor past performance when evaluating the award by requiring consult pass contractor performance evaluations. we did the prior board did mandate creation of a contractor performance data base that data base has not been used. we felt it could not hurt to take this to the grand injury recommendation we require departments to consult in data base. you know considering the feedback from the stake holders the gravity of the issue in the need to address our capitol

project delivery challenges the general feeling that from some and i'm not sure we are on board but the feeling this data base is in the necessarily the right way to improve performance, what i am going to ask you to do is move forward the one piece of this that is dealing with the waiting of cost criteria from the 2021 report. and hold the other one in committee to have more conversation busy whether this makes sense or bring in something else. so. procedurally that would be duplicating the file. separating the 2 legislation and then advancing a dub indicated amending out the past performance piece as -- my description is this is in the as good as the amendments we are circulated by my staff earlier

but duplicate the file. amend out the 2022 pieces related to the data base and forward the duplicated file with the cost provisions to the full board with positive recommendation. in addition to my staff who worked on this jacob and ross green of course want to thank the civil grand jury and taylor and city attorney's office for her work. i hope that is clear i'm happy to answer questions. >> great. thank you, supervisor mandelman i want to express my gratitude for you and your team for your work on this and i will echo your thanks to the civil grand jury for their work as well and i will say that especially i shareit@cbsaustin.com sentiment avoiding situations where we fight over change orders i have seen from my time in the city
