as well as staff officers. i was pleased to be joined by chairman nolan as well as director cheryl brinkman and leona bridges. we discussed the investments that we have made in san francisco as well as it relates to investment -- transportation. i'm available for any questions and that concludes my report. >> members of the board? >> i wanted to comment on the park. i am looking forward to that. i know there are several cities and we are really on the cutting edge of parking technology in this country. there are several cities that actually sold the rights to their parking and they are letting outside companies set the fees and decide how to manage their parking. we are taking control of it. therefore, we are managing our revenue. this is probably better than the cities to our outsourcing this. i am looking forward to that very much.

that has implications for san francisco as well. when i talked about in the beginning was the four components of the gov.'s plan. the two metal components is how the existing obligation is to find and talk about. as well as what the role and responsibilities are. i just raised a couple of examples. if there is a very narrow door of obligations and commitments, which could see a situation where only portions that we are working on in the city and county of san francisco make it to the other side. i want to emphasize how important this is. we have gotten what we believe is an existing obligation in terms of commitment of the money for and tax commitments for infrastructure and things like that. what we do not have place are the subsequent dea's with non profit housing developers. we do not have in place right now, we have to bond into the future the affordable housing. that is under that this position and development agreement. the worst-case scenario is a scenario where the project gets through the door. you can issue bonds into the f

concerns about this plan in terms of the impact it will have on dogs and their owners in san francisco, as well as the impact on our city parks. for that reason, i cannot support what ggnra is doing, and they need to go back to the drawing board and come up with a different plan. the mayor is requesting we continue this for two weeks. he would like the opportunity to engage directly with ggnra on this issue to see if there is any way to make that a productive process. i want to respect that. in addition, having the mayor communicate directly, in my view, can be a powerful thing. at the mayor's request, and in the hopes of moving the ball here, i am going to move that we continue this for two weeks. i want to say one thing. it is very consistent for this board to come out against the ggnra plan, but for the city to continue to talk to and negotiate with ggnra to move us in the right direction. i do not know if this will impact the final result, but i want to give the mayor the space he needs to have this conversation. that is my motion. president chiu: that is seconded by supervisor avalos. >> t

we have worked with many of the hospitals in san francisco, as well as northern california. we worked with cpmc for many years in the analysis of patience and communities, including development of the new citywide plan. although this plan is exempt from the new master planning process, i am confident that if you had a plan today, you would approve it. cpmc's proposal would be consistent with that plan because it is based on the same principles included in the ordinance. this is efficient designed to enhance quality and cost and enhancement of public safety and disaster preparedness. the proposed plan takes into account social, economic and environmental factors. it is based on analysis of historical roles cpmc has played in the city. the plan is based around a citywide system that includes home and community-based services distributed throughout the city, in addition to more efficient and modern emergency and the services. cpmc cares for more than 30% of san francisco residents. the plan to rebuild it will result in more centrally- located inpatient facilities and better des

my name is susan adams and i'm a resident of san francisco as well as a native. and i've been taking my dog for over 30 years to fort funston for our exercise. and i have to say that i have not experienced one serious problem in all those 30 years. and you would think that in all that time i would have seen -- except i was around the time a man stabbed a dog. i didn't think that was the dog's fault, that was a human problem. it seems to me in listening to all the environmental organizations that came forward this afternoon, it seems incredibly disingenuous to me that they would single out dogs as the sole or the primary cause of disturbance of the environment without considering human events, like fleet week, when hundreds of people go to chrissy fields and trample the habitat without any restriction or guidance from ggnra. or what about the turkey trot, where 1,500 people ran down ocean beach right through that area, and that was encourage bid ggnra. and then, what about -- how does this work? turn it over? ggnra themselves thousand dollars over a section of oce

san francisco parkmerced resident and a fourth generation san franciscan. i bring forth the concern of many others in my neighborhood about the size and scope of this project as well as the rent control concerns that have already been stated. this project will certainly change the character of the west side of san francisco forever. if it is not scrutinized very carefully, i will also refer you to commissioner moore's report. if things are not looked at carefully, this could have really negative impact. i do not think tripling the density of my neighborhood is a good solution. it is going to make traffic unbearable in that southern approach to san francisco, as well as liakemerced boulevard. it is hard for me to bend my mind around what that will look like. it is a vital community of working-class people and families. it is not blighted. it is an actual community of people. 20 or 30 years of construction is also unimaginable, especially for the people on fixed incomes. the impact of that construction will be unimaginable. i would like to submit several articles regarding the developer fortress, as well as, if i could submit those documents, and also speak quickly
