frye. >> commissioners, to consider in formulating your comments for the letter -- excuse me -- in response to commissioner johnck's comments, i think she's brought up some very good points and i would recommend if we do include, refer you to the cultural landscape and physical and natural resources and the policy that may be in that narrative explanation below the policy is where we had some of the more detailed information just to keep those policies concise. just another suggestion, johnck mentioned policy sites. so you might want to consider adding policy site to 1.13. >> thank you. commissioner hyland. >> i think in general we're moving in the right direction. i would like to see some of the language be much stronger. and it may be because we haven't lived with this long enough. this is all-new language and as we live with it a little bit longer, we'll be able to make sure what we need it to say, it will say. but in the other policies they're just much more direct and straight to the point so in the community he will me [speaker not understood]. please make sure resource he are protect

frye mentioned. >> okay, yeah. commissioner hyland. >> thank you, sue, for putting this together. i did have some wordsmithing on this that i wanted to present after public comment. so, if we're going to come back. >> yeah. so, why don't we do public comment. >> okay. >> so, members of the public? >>> good afternoon, commissioners. my name is greg miller. i live in the sunset. i'm on the board of the neighborhood association speak. personally, i'm worried about proposed revisionses to the rose. they may weaken the commission's ability to protect the historic resources of golden gate park. the park is listed in national register of historic places as a prime example of a great naturalistic park land. the [speaker not understood] document clearly states the park's key historic feature is the overall design character of the park. how the environment is balanced between forests and meadows and lakelands to provide a balanced framework for active recreation and passive enjoyment of nature. protecting such a large and complex resource and maintaining balance is no easy task. up to now y

frye, maybe, with the pack log. is that any point in time? >> if i could, commissioner, you're suggesting that it simply suggest -- that the letter say that we evaluate it kind of periodically through the year to make sure -- >> so next year we're at 600. >> with the goal of reducing the backlog, of course. that's all our goal. >> exactly. >> [speaker not understood] make sense. >> is it that each fte will account for tentative backlog or something, is there a way to attach that? we're adding 6 or whatever the number is we're adding. >> it's a little challenging to do that because some projects are very big and some are small. >> of course. >> yeah, i don't know -- most of the reason for the backlog is simply the vast increase in the numbers of applications. so, and there's usually a backlog in hiring people to catch up, you know. it takes six months to hire people. having said that, i think your point is well taken that the letter can simply suggest that, that we need to reevaluate it midstream or -- [multiple voices] >> the increase will be

the warriors predictively outrebounded chaner frye's, but plumlee follows.riors stuck around by turning 18 turnovers into 20 points and a grift for crawford who totaled 10 off bench. and steph curry with a pretty move for two of his 28. warriors trailed by 4 at halftime. that one certainly worth another look. an impressive night from harrison barnesese. this shot made it a 2-point game with 8:30 left to play. meanwhile the warriors went cold scoring just 19 points in the 4th quarter. the suns put 122 on golden state, winning 122-109 and leapfrog the warriors in west by half a game. >>> it's been sometime since the tourm has been called the crosby, but the folks this weekend at the at&t pebble beach pro-am got a good dose of crosby weather. saturday, the big celebrity day and patriot's quarterback tom brady with the eagle putt. it was a blustery day and the conditions so severe at one point officials were trying to water the greens to slow them down. they ultimately suspended play for two hours. winds wasn't as bad at spyglass hill or peninsula country club.
