i have been a dosant at the japanese tea garden and i'm currently a dosant at the botanical garden and the conservatory of flowers. i am on the board there. i think it doesn't take very long for anybody who does any work in the park or in the park to know that the park is a success, because of the non-profits and the caudry of volunteers that they have here. one of the outstanding examples would be the botanical garden society, working in partnership with the botanical garden here. not only that we have the library, and the bookstore, but we have a very extensive dosant program, which i am involved in. and we'll come to a table and listen to some aspect of the park. this is very important work and not only is the society helping to maintain this beautiful place, but to educate people and to help in the conservation of the work of the city and the rec and park department here. thank you. >> next speaker. >> my name is laurie, a 38-year resident of san francisco and i have a number of concerns about the lease with the san francisco botanical garden society and these were submitted to com

we're also putting together the first-ever dosant program at the amphitheater and this will be able to support the department with oversight and supervision of events which is something that hasn't been able to take place in the place and we're would welcoming with ingleside police and park patrol to create assistance in putting that piece into effect. the amphitheater is an amazing place, but it has its challenges, partly because of the remote, and so the dosant program is very key to this. we think we hit on a good process and we want to keep the commission informed as we go along and move through the program and we're very excited. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> is there anyone else who would like to make general public comment? being none, the item is closed and wire on item 5 the consent calendar. any public comment on the consent calendar? soing none, public comment is closed. commissioners. >> move to approve. >> second. >> moved and seconded. all those in favor, ? >> aye. >> so moved >> we are now on item 6, and 6a. the san francisco zoological society and their request
