the menu component to the program -- we are proposing to suspend the foreground two. as mentioned in december, it was generally pretty unpopular in the first round. it was initially intended to support small projects, and we found that several small projects are actually funded through the customs program, and i think that speaks to the unique nature of a lot of our parks. there is one other relatively minor policy program change we are proposing -- that neighborhood parks funded by the bond in other ways are no longer eligible. this came up with a couple of applications, and that really speaks to the balance and intent of the opportunity fund, balancing the geographic distribution of funds across the city. as to the revisions to the criteria in the implication plan, we really were just looking at removing some redundancies and making the point seem more equitable for the program. we made more specific revisions in the selection process, and as commissioner harrison can attest, this was something we could attest to it at the committee, the giving committee members the
