the item is an accept and expend for $2.8 million for the development of the 17th and folsom park. the project was identified in the eastern neighborhoods plan as a potential park side. in 2009 and 2010, the san francisco planning department and recreation and park department staff collaborated on a grant application to fund a development on this project on a portion of this property. the remainder of the property will be developed by the mayor's office of housing. we did hold four public meetings, and the project was designed with the community's support. currently, the property is a temporary parking lot, and we are currently working with mta to identify areas within the community for additional parking. the recreation and park department is requesting that you recommend the approval of this accept and expend to the board of supervisors. supervisor avalos: ok, thank you very much. once this is approved and moving forward, what is the timeline for the project? >> we will be hosting another community meeting in september or october to get final input on the design. the project mana

as a person mentioned folsom street, there are some trees that are very difficult for property owner to maintain because of their size. those protected by the city. the city maintaining that it is probably what makes sense. i have a small tree in front of my house and i can easily maintain it. that is something that is completely viewable. but there are probably hundreds of others who have a tree in front of their house that cannot do that. they need an option. i can see the property owner had been added responsibility, and also for the city. that is where i wanted to go. thank you. if there are no other comments from colleagues, we can adjourn this hearing. maybe we can set up a meeting with friends of the urban forest to talk about this in the future. appreciate it. this is the last item. we will continue this item to the call of the chair. we are returned, thank you. -- adjourned. thank you.

this is on the folsom? >> the old wonder bread bakery. a little bit higher up. >> that particular building, if you look closely, the rock has actually receded back because of rockfalls. it was too expensive to put in foundations, so the foundation for that building is right on the surface. over the years, the rock face has receded to the point now where the flooding in the face of the bluff come together -- the footing and the face of the building and the bloc come together and are exposed. >> the confidence in the building is starting to be undermined. down at the bottom of the hill, out towards the bed, there are all kinds of uses there. what on earth would they be doing? >> what you are looking at here, two things occur along the south waterfront. one, sand that is dredged from the sacramento river is actually put on barges and brought down into the bag at pier 80 and 92, and then they stockpiled the sand and wash it and tip it over to the concrete producers, bodhi, central, and others, rose and jensen, hanson, and the sand is coming d

we're rerouting the tour because unfortunately, we were going gather on moya on folsom and 7th but there was a large fire that building so that business had to shut down as of last week. but we'll be rerouting the tour and would love to have you. lisa kerrbin joined us here and was not able to stay. she needed to go home to put her son to bed. she was here to represent the entrepreneurship centers. she left her comments with me. so i'm going to give you a few highlights from renaissance as well. she had just come back from the a.e.o. conference in d.c. she had a couple of interesting statistics about micro enterprise which are businesss that have zero to four employees. if 1-3 hired a singlelele employee the u.s. would be at full employment. and also that the median net worth of business owners is two anded a half times that of nonbusiness honers and the statistics are more stunning in terms of the minority communities where it's for african-american business owners they are earning 10 times more than african-americans who do not own businesses. so it's very critical in helping them beco

on the promoters permit -- would organizations like pride and folsom street fair have to apply? i will have to look. it is possible they would have to register. again, this is not a permit. this is simply a registration. it will take all of 10 minutes. you go on-line, and it is free. vice chair joseph: when did you say that might be working? >> mid-june. vice chair joseph: also come up with 550 barneveld, is the manager of the club on the permit? >> she is not. vice chair joseph: don't we need to have somebody who is on the permit there when they are open? >> i do not believe that is something that is a requirement in the law. it is a practice that i encourage. the permit has names of individuals who are present. but that isn't all the kermit -- but that is an old permit, issued before the entertainment commission. it is possible to ask someone, but that is not how it is now. vice chair joseph: in keeping with that, 550 usually does pat downs. how did a gun get there? >> i cannot be certain. but after discussion, and given all the information, we got the sense that this was part

as other speakers mentioned, we have the folsom tree corridor from bernard hill to the mission to approximately 21st street. elm trees that were planted at the neighborhoods request by the city in 1973. the city was going to maintain them. well, they have come in some cases better than others, but it is an iconic corridor that people can compare to other places in the city. like delores street. people know where it is. we would like to keep that going, and as the previous speaker mentioned, it is not going to happen if individual property owners who run a little coffee shop on the corner or rent out a couple of apartments -- how are they supposed to take care of trees like that? so i would urge you to make arrangements so that dpw actually gets more tree maintenance vehicles because the city needs them. supervisor avalos: thank you very much. another iconic street is persia street in the excelsior district. next speaker please. >> good morning. the key word for today is the iceberg. i consider my mother to be a victim of ex-mayor newsom's screening program. in 2008, this letter was received and

station 7 here at the corner of 19th and folsom here in san francisco. this is the training facility and also the temporary home for a lot of these out of town firefighters where they will be based while here including these guys from el cerrito fire. they are coming from as far north as napa from as far east as fremont, and as far south as san jose to fill in while a lot of these guys are gone and right now they are gone. they are right now responding to a fire. this was a scene at station 26 at about 10:30 this morning. a lot of these firefighters there were in their dress blues as they rode their own engine to the funeral. this is where the two fall- firefighters were assigned to and the station is shut now down during the memorial service. many of the members of the other agencies are volunteering here on their own time. as one san francisco firefighter told me getting paid to run into a burning building is one thing. but he is grateful and thankful these guys are doing it for free some of them. the fire department is confident they will all respond

in fact, while it does have some segments that can slow it down, not just mission rock to folsom in that area that is highly congested threw the ball park, but when you get down on the third straight line, when you clear the bridge, you have the fastest rail travel in the system. i think it was important that one of the things went third street was designed and implemented, part of what we tried to do was to get out of the way of the traffic as best we could. from a travel perspective or travel time perspective, we're headed in the right direction. at the same time, the on-time performance for the t-line is 58%. that is not where we would like to be. and again, part of the reason i walk you through the scope of the line and where people are getting on and off and said it is 76 minutes travel time is some of the biggest issues on on-time performance, for example, we measure it at west portal. the biggest delay on this particular line, on the the k-t line is if we have a gap in service or if there is a train missing or a train is significantly late. normally we try to make an adjustment. w

the removal of the bus ramp over folsom, there's a shot of that, and then the harrison street removal as well, they both went according to plan, and again, no injuries or incidents with the public. i mentioned utility relocation packages all winding up in july and august of this summer. with the exception of 4.2, which the pricing on that comes in tomorrow, i believe. and this is a continued sewer work on the joint trench work on minner, which is now where at&t is starting to put their portion of the joint trench work in. and the completion of it on second street. water and sewer work continues, howard first, free mount, natomis streets. and while i said the structural steel framing went up this last month, and when these pictures were taken, they were preparing for the metal framing that fills in between the white structural steel and will support the new exterior wall. it's a very heavy structure, but, you know, part of it is to prevent any vehicles from accidentally going into the hole that will be on the other side of it. and this is a shot of the controlled wood pile extraction i

this is a historic sign and this black smith shop and on howard -- folsom and has the beautiful sign on the side of the building. get a little close up of that. tool, manufacturing, in general black smithing. do we make exceptions for historic signs and what way? >> historic signs are allowed and addressed in the planning code. we do want to preserve that and valuable remembrance of the heritage and we want to preserve this. >> i think what is lovely about these signs and what they disappear and appear and this is around for a while and when there is a demolition of a building and you frequently find an old sign for a laundry or whatever and also what is interesting and the degree to which the signs and uses disappear and they're named in the buildings in their place and foundry square and lots of metal work and things that went

why i bring up the idea of possible manipulation is yesterday afternoon, i was at a gathering on folsom st., and i was very impressed by the discussion of transparency, especially by a certain labor speaker. i am just trying to translate that feeling of transparency because i would in a certain sense think that we should explain what non structural seismic retrofit is and compare it to what an actual retrofit is. the reason why i bring that up is because since the bond issue is such a large amount of the house bill, one would think that it will be covered by the bond issue, so we are going to go for $999,999, that seems to me that that is money that maybe deliberately deleted from the bond issue and somehow put into this item so as to avoid public scrutiny. thank you. supervisor avalos: thank you very much. any other member of the public who would like to comment? seeing none, we will close public comment. this item we can move forward with recommendation. okay, without objection. if you could please call our next item. >> item 6, resolution approving the community needs assessment deve
