judy berkowitz, i represent 46 neighborhood associations. the long term policy has been, for 10 years, it has been that the city has its own recycling program. since that is in place, privately owned recycling services only serve to divert direct revenues from the coffers of the city. director ginsberg has stated that golden gate park should adhere to its master plan to provide park appropriate uses. this is a non-conforming use, as is the proposed water treatment plant on the western side of the park. in the spirit of what is good for the goose being good for the gander and in the consistency of application of policy, i would venture that recycling centers should not be allowed in public parks and the dolores park recycling plant should also be looked at for its lease termination. we encourage hanc's recycling efforts, however locations in city parks with master plans that specifically prohibits these activities are inappropriate. a more appropriate location for a recycling center would be the high school. thank you very much. supervisor mi
