mexican trucks to open in dolores park this weekend. >> my dad drove a cart. so it was a little complicated. >> because some neighborhood opposition it will move from inside the park to curbside. one backed out to operate in the same park because of the backlash. >> we have some developing news this morning, police have found a body near train tracks in oakland. police and fire were called to 37th avenue? san leandro street about an hour ago. amtrak officials say a pedestrian was trespassing on the tracks amp was struck by a train. it was traveling from oakland to san jose. amtrak passengers on that section of the capital corridor route are bees bussed to the hayward station. that is where train service will resume. governor jerry brown will skip a scheduled appearance at the state democratic convention today after undergoing surgery to remove a cancerous growth on his nose. he had the procedure on friday after tests revealed a slow growth of cancer. his doctors say all cancer cells were removed but some reconstructive surgery was need order his nose. the gover

right now, those services and amenities are helping us maintain a level of service in dolores park, and i think that is just -- maybe it is counterintuitive. if you are going to be generating revenue in the lowest part, where is it going? our general fund support has been cut. if you want gardening time and custodial time, we will need to find a substitute for that loss in general fund support. we do not at this point have of the accounting ability or the system to actually track every single park on a part by part enterprise basis. we have a few large enterprise funds in our system. we are in the process of trying to take a look at golden gate park, but frankly, there are certain locations in the city and certain types of facilities, which actually generate revenue that subsidizes those that do not. the idea of tracking inputs and outputs that each park becomes a little bit of a challenging conversation because we subsidize almost everything we do. so we use -- outside lands generate $1.1 million, does not all necessarily stay in gold and park. that goes into a larger bucket, which sup

landmarks like the fairy building, the castro theater, or city hall, or gems like golden gate park and dolores park, we all cherish the greatness of our city passed. this is not to question the importance of historic preservation. there is near universal support for historic preservation. i enthusiastically joined that support, as i did when i supported the creation of the historic preservation commission. the purpose of today's commission is to discuss how historic preservation sits into the complex and ever-changing ecosystem called san francisco, how this policy goal fits in with numerous policy goals we embrace, goals like creating sufficient housing, particularly affordable and transit-oriented -- transit- oriented housing. and we have a goal of usable parks and libraries that reflect our past, but also reflect that recreation and library use has changed dramatically over time. goals like making necessary changes to roads and public rights of way to enhance pedestrian safety and make our transit system modern. historic preservation is important, but it is not our cities only policy goal, or ev

can install new equipment and that means some traditional events, such as dolores park movie nightso a different location in the park. the san francisco symphony says it's canceling it's concert series in the park because of that construction. >>> a showdown is looming over pension reform as ktvu's claudine wong tells us, city workers will be asked to give back more concessions this week to help the city overcome yet another budget deficit. >> reporter: there is little question that san francisco voters will be weighing in on a pension reform plan for the city in november. >> i have been listening to their perspective on a lot of those issues, and it still seems that overall in general most people aren't satisfied with what is going on. >> reporter: there are three on the tabe, one from mayor ed lee and one from public defender adachi and one representing the city's employments, but there may be common ground. >> i think we'll see a comprehensive package introduced at the boor on tuesday and because it's going to include both pension refox and healthcare reform, that it's going to a

looking back 20 years, i was a property owner on dolores park. the city was in a very similar budget crisis in the late 80's and early 90's. the deferred maintenance to the park system of san francisco took numerous years, if not a decade, to catch up. as he sought in the presentation from phil, the number of years that recon park -- rec and park has realized a significant reduction in its budget, there will come a breaking point. one will be the line that shows the revenue that has been generated will stop, parks will not be a place where individuals and groups will want to come and use them and pay for it. secondly, the citizens of the city will not be able to enjoy what this city offers. on a final point, speaking to the need for increased park patrol, i can think back to about nine months ago on the way to work. i received a call that there had been a murder in the eastern part of the park. they originally told me it was within the growth. it was a tragic event. thankfully, it did not occur inside of the grove. but the violent crime that conti
