"on friday, mayor mark farrell is expected to issue a letter to direct city administrator to create a $545 million bond for park projects that could go before san francisco voters on the november, 2019, ballot." so has this already been introduced? >> i will take this, commissioner. the answer is, no. what we had was, then-mayor farrell's desire to work with the city administrator, capital community and board of supervisors to implement what we're proposing, which is to try to merge the '19 and '25 bonds to one and then we're requesting some cost of living escalation to reflect that the bond has essentially been the same since 2008. >> vice-president low: to make this public announcement, the mayor had some sort of briefing that the bond, what the bond number is, including the bond projects. >> the mayor was aware of what was in the 10-year capital plan for 2019 and what was in the 10-year capital plan for 2025. and what some of the escalation pressures were on the bond. really how much we end up with will allow us to do some -- a broader range of projects. what the mayor was looking

defer to commissioner vietor, but over the past year, with the different administrations -- we had mayor lee, mayor breed, mayor farrell and breed again. but the conversations are extremely valuable to us. met with tyrone juice and a.g.m. ellis on this issue. i think it's critically important. coming from a hard hat seat, it's critically important to talk about animal agriculture when it comes to the resource. for too many facts to go into, the fact that i already had a thoughtful and deliberate conversation with staff about that and this shows up on the agenda is a small concern of mine, but i think francesca is more capable than me of having that discussion and i will follow her lead, but i'm not happy with the fact that we're going with big ideas without a really important big idea included. >> let me respond to that. first of all, the big idea book, we've been working on for years and we presented it. and so we're at a point that we've been working with the unified school district to put in these ideas. these ideas are simple, basic, that you can teach in schools. and i really want to do the basic stuff. if you wan
