it is hard to say it is ahead of the curve when it comes to activities, because we are such an active city. this department is trying. there were many years when soccer was not popular. i'm sure it was popular with some communities, but was not a mainstream sport, and here we a are now catching up and it is a hard position. we tried renovating the beach chalet fields in 1998 and the fields did not take. if we wanted to keep the natural grass, the amount of resources are disproportionate to the amount that we could devote to other services and fields and parks and our department. it would not work. we're very lucky to have the field foundation give us this

central market has long been a center of arts and cultural activities for the city but that is exploded over the last couple of years, burning man has moved their headquarters to sixth and market and american conservatory theater purchased. as we engage in this work, we found there are dozens of organizations and hundreds of individuals dedicated to revitalizing central market but we found there were not always acting in a coordinated way. we were addressing opportunity to leverage each others work and there was duplication occurring korea the direction of the mayor, we set out to conduct a community engagement process to identify and prioritize the strategies that would contribute to economic development and to create a framework to guide public sector activities and the activities of our nonprofit and private-sector partners. this is the study area outlined in black. market street between fifth street and 10th street. we recognize the economic health and success of central market is closely related to that of the adjacent neighborhoods and so much of the research and community engagem

. >> when you're talking about city-wide activities to fill a particular class, here we are concerned particularly about migration. is there any class or specific city-wide activity that your department is plugging into around reversing the out migration? >> no, i'm not following you there. but i think the reference for the citywide hiring is really what we're trying to say, that the classification is used for multiple departments and their hiring into these positions. brecht's -- >> multiple departments are not responding at all to the out migration. >> how does that relate to this? gregg's hiring. trying to get people -- >> hiring. it tried to get people spread out of diverse backgrounds. brecht's we have a number of programs. outreach, you are talking about outreach. we have programs where we are trying to do is lower the minimum requirements as low as we can possibly go so there is an artificial barrier. we have the apprentice programs. human served -- human services has a number of job training programs. we're trying to use those as a substitute for a minimum meeting of requireme

i support the coordination of the urban agricultural activities across the city. another is about a half a million dollars that get spent in various departments for this area. however, i will be voting against this, probably in the minority. i want to explain why. the areas that concern me are not necessarily the intent, but some of the things it would obligate us to. it does obligate us to at least one full-time staff position. i am not sure i think that is justified at this time. second, it creates a one-stop shop in terms of a goal. it puts a goal of the least 10 new locations of urban agriculture to be completed by january 1. i am not sure what the plans are or whether the funding sources are there to create it. in addition, part of the goals specify which would open garden resource centers in their herds across the city. we have issues as relates to even run our existing recreation and parks services, among other things. it is unclear to me where we would find the funding to do some of the goals put out there. i do not want to vote for something that i am not

been a real challenge for the department, i note, given that fortunately we have a lot of activity in the city with huge projects. we have a lot of public projects, including rec and park projects. it has been challenging, meeting time lines, given how stretched the environmental planners are. i know that we had to go through a hole fire, i was really happy to see the projects moving alongi would be curious to hearm the budget analyst. >> sure the. >> what proposed are two positions that are general fund funded to work on the the city's own project. the way our protocols have worked for a long time is that when a city agency comes to us for environmental review, we automatically put them at the top of the queue. what happens repeatedly is that departments come in for their reviews, and we are pushing off the private project sponsors. it really creates a problem for us on the other side. what this would do is allow us to have staffed exclusively dedicated to those city projects. it would be primarily rec-park, three of our four biggest projects right now, and allow that work to move forward wit

city. instead of running around building confidence in their skills, they are usually left to fill their free time with more sedentary activities. we live in a city with a long rainy season. it did start during daylight savings and my kids practice is run past 6:30. this is less than ideal and often not safe. we need to be dick -- we need to build capacity for the demand that the playing field system cannot address. the city will still be short what it needs, but it means there will be progress. this eir started three years ago. having looked at the eir comments and response document, it is clear to me the issues raised have been addressed and mitigated. now it is time to move forward. please approve the eir tonight. we have already waited way too long. thank you. >> next speaker. >> i play soccer for the viking week. i think the beach chalet should be turned into a turf fields because there is only one big turf field in the city. it is all the way down on the south side of town. we need a turf fields in the northwest part of town. turf is way safer than normal grass. it would be much more beneficial to soccer teams if we had a

[applause] >> thank you. i am just going to be one voice from the community, and you're going to meet a lot of folks. but i want to have everybody take a quick look up on the side of the building, because what it says that there for me has been a theme of the work that i have tried to do for the neighborhood activists since i have lived here. it says the american dream starts with the neighborhoods. this is harvey milk in 1977. this was from him saying get out of the living room, turn off the tv, and do some work to change the city from the neighborhood scale. i think the neighborhood scale is or can of plug in. the

we have some of fire activity in the city.columbia, we have a crash at river's edge. a live look outside as some of the major roadways. the west side of the beltway, that is moving a little bit slow at baltimore national pike. maybe a quick tapping the brakes. this is the topside of the beltway that this kind of a mess. people are crawling by approaching perring parkway. that is the latest on traffic pulse 11. >> it was a rough start in some neighborhoods this morning. strong thunderstorms from pennsylvania with large hail and wind gusts over 60 miles per hour. you can see how fast the storms were going. they're pushing into delaware. they are getting hammered on the new jersey shore. did thunderstorms off the coast of atlantic city. this will continue to move to the east. we'll be just fine around baltimore for the morning commute. we have some cloud cover and that will help to hold the temperatures down. you can see the core of the heat over in the ohio valley. this is the actual temperature, 108 in st. louis. we made it to

been a real challenge for the department, i note, given that fortunately we have a lot of activity in the city with huge projects. we have a lot of public projects, including rec and park projects. it has been challenging, meeting time lines, given how stretched the environmental planners are. i know that we had to go through a hole fire, i was really happy to see

by far the heaviest activity is southwest of the city. western side of the beltway must be a mess right now, also down on 95 and pw park way, 97, some rain there as well. the heaviest is this big red area where the rain is coming down hard and very, very limited visibility slow down and keep a safe distance to you can out from the cars in front of you and if you can't see, make sure your lights are on. that's the law. heavy rain moving southwest of the city. we are watching through the northwest section of baltimore shortly. vic and denise. >> thank you, bob. we know there's trouble on bellair road, the road has been closed down because of tornado damage. we know there is weather in howard county and i-95 is a problem. let's go to christy to see other areas to avoid. >> hi everyone. as you said let's go back to the live camera in harper county. a couple of spots that are flooded out. it is by 152, nobody is getting anywhere. and in harford county the hickory bypass, hartford between glen arm and fork road flooded as well. we have a downed

may recognize me because i come and talk in front of you from time to time about the active recreation space in the city and i can see some smiles. this is another discussion about active recreation space, but i have two children who are soccer players in the city. and as a perspective you may not know about, when they play on teams in the city, there is not enough practice space. you have to apply with park and recreation to even get practice space. sometimes my son has practice space at one field and they get center field, someone else has right field. there is never enough recreation fields in the city. but when you are able to put turf on these fields you are able to provide something that they can play on so much more time than they can now. when we play at marina green, if there is a rain storm, there's three days none of the kids can play. we go out to geneva where there is already the astroturf fields. i'm p a soccer you really want to exercise and i see people of all ages played this wonderful game. this is an amazing game to play. i would encourage you to vote for something that gives us more

every strategy by which we not only maintain but increase the specific needs for recreational activities in the city. i do believe that the e.i.r. has serious deficiencies, while formulate and put to record but those people who spoke to it today and by those captured in the previous comments to the draft e.i.r. this is not the time to repeat them. we've been sitting here for almost 12 hours and i'm almost incapable of expressing them better than what has been said. that is the impact of lights, on golden gate park. that is the lack of interpretation and respect for what the golden gate

she moved onto union activism in new york city. during world war two, she worked in the brooklyn navy yard. she moved to san francisco in 1947, where she met her future husband, the late herman griffin. they were married in january 1949, right after the laws which prevented interracial marriage were overturned in california. this made them one of the first interracial couples in san francisco. in the 1960's, she participated in civil-rights actions. she is a mother of two, both from san francisco, and a mother-in-law of someone also in san francisco. she will celebrate her 90th birthday tomorrow, but i think when someone celebrates such an incredible life of activism, they should be commemorated in honored by us, so i am happy to be giving that accommodation later this week. the rest i will submit. clerk: thank you, supervisor olague. supervisor campos? supervisor campos: thank you, very much, mr. clerk. it is with deep sadness that i am doing an in memoriam along with supervisor supervisor wiener for jacqueline reed, who died june

we have more activity southwest of the city. this will move toward baltimore shortly. the western sections downtown baltimore, western section of town, eastern say from pikes ville, that cell is moving to your area. more activity south of dc. another in northern virginia. with so much going on it's hard to track. eventually i think everyone in the state will be experiencing some kind of rain, thunderstorm activity or severe weather this afternoon orton item. the strongest tornado threat appears to be toward southern pennsylvania and new jersey region where the warm front that came through the area this morning, kept some chilly air for a while but we are now into the more humid air mass. that is toward the north and that is where the risk for these storm is his located. we have a risk of strong thunderstorms this afternoon and tonight as a cold front to the west will approach us with all the moisture around, all the instability. little sunshine south of washington. that's what need to fire up the storms. watching these and tracking the storms as they move through this a
