i have the utmost respect, particularly for katherine howard she is passionate about the golden gate park and i would not diminish her credibility in the least but i felt, and i stated that this was a one-sided, golden gate park under siege. it is under siege to some people and not to the majority but the people who feel passionate about the different issues in the park and i respect that fact. but i said that i thought that given the history of the common wealth club that they had a responsibility, one to have an unbiased title and two to have at least one representative from the department to be able to speak to the issues and so, having done that, they came back to me, and i was not involved with the staff, there was no conspiracy with staff on this, i take full responsibility. i got into the communications with them. and they ultimately said that we will change the title and i forget, it was a neutral title in my opinion and they said that they would not accept anybody, they would only accept me to speak on that side. so reluctantly i said i will do it. and so, we went forward un

katherine howard, sfocean edge.org. the bond funding includes funding for the west sunset playground renovation and we would like to point out that west sunset figures in alternatives involved in two legal actions going on, regarding the soccer field. for those people who are not aware, the beach chalet soccer fields are a proposal to take over seven acres at the western end of golden gate park to remove the grass and install turf. our organization has been working to try to provide alternatives to this project. meanwhile we are involved in an appeal to the california coastal commission for the local coastal zone and there is another group that filed a ceqa lawsuit in superior court. there is a simple solution to providing more hours of play for children and preserving the beauty and habitat of golden gate park and ocean beach for all san franciscans. and i put a picture here. that is our alternative, which is a simple swap in material where's you renovate fields with artificial turf. however, with a safe material, not

. >> katherine howard. yeah the common wealth club has had gay rights that is one sided i have not seen any right wing people listed. i think that it stands for free speech and exploring a variety of issues and ha is not relevant to your decision but it speaks to the fact that we are trying to have a broader public learn about our issues. i want to repeat that miss ballard did write as an official as the department she wrote in response to a phone call she mentions in the e-mail a phone call. she wrote a one page letter and signed it sarah ballard, director of public affairs, phone number and e-mail address and etc.. so this is definitely an official communication that she spent a great deal of time on and should have been provided. >> the only reason that we had a suspicion that these e-mails might exist is because the title and panel make-up suddenly out of the blue, changed, it was fine with the common wealth club for months and then all of a sudden, we get a call that it is changing >> if we had not bee

. >> good morning, supervisors, my name is mary katherine lerahod and it has been touched upon the city and county of san francisco and being sued in the superior court over the issue of space and leasing of the library. i understand that only there are between 15 and 20,000 square foot plans for possible new branch at the corner of post and van ness. i am here to urge that you consider more funds because the (inaudible) branch on market street was closed. the current 15,to 20,000,al location of funds to lease, 20,000 is inadequate. i am on the san francisco trial lawyer's board of directors, i represent residential tenants in the city. not everything that is legal is on-line, what is on-line is not free. we need the book. like i said i represent residential tenants i need the law library to research specific issues. and i am not going to charge my clients an arm and a leg to just to find out an issue that i can access in a book. i have on-line access but that not going to replace a paper copy. >> so the san francisco judge is possible that the san francisco judge will order more space,
