i know you are all familiar with the presidio parkway project. we -- you may have seen this item last april, april 2010. we brought before you this contract, an 18-month contract, asking to support a liaison at 75% of services to assist the doral drive project with attended meetings, according any reviews of project submittal and documents, and providing any responses to the 14 different agencies all working on the presidio parkway project. right now, we're in the design and construction phase. into next year, we find it necessary to continue the services from the national parks service is. the liaison will organize all the responses from the various agencies, facilitate communication, prompt identification, and present resolution to any issues. we like to extend the contract for one fiscal year, with two additional one-year amendments. the contract would be at a level of 75% of one staff. that may be covered by rick foster and back of staff. the amount of the contract would not go past $105,845. this item was brought before the cac committee on

nationwide to the presidio when he said. i was wounded three times while i was in the bush and then third time i was alone he was on the summer of one hundred sixty seven and we got overrun by north vietnamese regulars they started like a human wave. the guy came up to start his rifle in the hall and i saw the front sight of an a k forty seven a muzzle flash i am sixteen point zero but i. hold my trigger when i saw a case. and a bullet hit me in a new and i. came to a few minutes later and the gun was jammed in my new was shattered. after the fighting ended in the sun came up and they carried me over to this guy which. me i mean he was sitting up against a tree stump and he was dead he had three bullet holes up his shows you knew it was a tree lay in the crows it was blood in his ardent supporters as google killed you just good job i was a news guy and he was about my age and. i said things you know but as he did not live it was just a matter of pure luck and i started a certain creams but i wonder if you had a girlfriend an

this job involves deconstructing some of the presidio's military past. >> the presidio is abuzz withprojects. so here's a place where we can take what was really pretty low grade creek and make it into a high grade creek. the army manipulated the landscape in lots of different ways. in this spot, they cut up to the top of the watershed and they spill down here. there's a piece a few thousand feet of creek so it's been flowing. but it's been pretty damaged. now we're trying to sort of erase the damage to the extent we can and reestablish the plant. so instead of having big tall trees with some poison oak, we'll have these diverse layers of shrubs and ground covers and grasses and hedges and all this different diversity of plants. there's a lot of cool stuff going on here, a lot of cool natural resources but plant communities that you can't see anywhere else. places where the trails go through, you can see -- walk and see a free-flowing creek and coast stall dunes and it's a little -- coastal dunes and it's a little bit of our san francisco natural heritage, little fragments that are l

looking back from the golden gate bridge to presidio, you are more aware of the park land and less of the roads. and the viaduct will parallel the existing one and to the south and can be built while the existing one remains in operation. and the two bridges there with open space between them and your views constantly change and not aware of the traffic in the opposite direction and notice the views more. and the lanes of course are a foot wider than they are today. and they will be shoulders and if your car is disabled, you can pull off to the edge. and the next area, the tunnel portal will have a view centered on the palace of fine arts and as you come out, you can see alkatrez island and bay. and the next area is about 1,000 feet long. and when you come into one, you can see through the other end. it's almost like driving through a building than through a tunnel. and noise from the roadway will be sheltered. and the traffic will be out of view. >> when you come out of the last sort tunnel and as you look forward, you see the golden dome of the palace of fine arts and what more perf

and that was my introduction to the surface the scope presidio. the population fluctuate usually upwards it was i think it could hold like it be sixty and there were some sometimes double that in there. were crowded. toilets. guards were mean there was really fun. with the nine for peace held in military prisons soldiers throughout the bay area began planning for the first war demonstration in the country organized by g.i.'s and veterans i was in a member of the medical committee for human rights we got together a number of times and talked about how we were going to organize active duty to go to the peace demonstration and then i remember also hearing about the b. fifty two bombers that were dropping leaflets on vietnam urging the vietnamese to defect and i thought well if they can do it overseas. we can hire a small private plane loaded up with three plates and drop the leaflets on the trades. were a little concerned. but nothing. pretty accurately that's what they testified to. and on my way into the demonstration i decided i was going to wear.

that was built in 1936 at the same time as the bridge and at that time the presidio was an army and they civilians on their turf. and the road was built high. >> we need access and you have a 70 year-old facility that's inadequate for today's transportation needs. and in addition to that, you have the problem that it wasn't for site extenders. >> the rating for the high viaduct is a higher rating than that collapsed. and it was sapped quite a while before used and it was rusty before installed. >> a state highway through a federal national park connecting an independently managed bridge to city streets. this is a prescription for complication. >> it became clear unless there was one catalyst organization that took it on as a challenge, it wouldn't happen and we did that and for people to advocate. and the project has a structural rating of 2 out of 100. >> you can see the rusting reinforcing in the concrete when you look at the edges now. the deck has steel reinforcing that's corroded and lost 2/3's of its strength. >> this was accelerated in 1989 when the earthquake hit and cal came in

we see improvements due to the opening at presidio. i understand and maybe all questions regarding the matrix, but i want to give you a taste of where we stand going forward. discussions with internal and external stakeholders, conversations with the citizens of 53 committee, an assessment of our own, we identified four clear opportunities for improvement. first, how can we come up with more meaningful metrics that not only tell us how to get a better perspective on how to manage the business but are also it transparent and easy for customers to understand? the metric system or a clear muni are very--- are very muni- centric. how do we come up with more timely reporting? what can we do to make reporting key indicators and more frequent process? third, what to do to improve accountability? historically, the limit the endowment -- limit analysis makes it challenging to drive improvement. if we speed up the time with which we do reporting, there should be much more useful tool for our leadership. last, let's make sure service standards ar

. -- to keep it out of the presidio. it is a wrongly concepted situation. having been on the board there, fisher being on the board of moma would have been the logical place for a highly resisted by the family and those involved with how a collection for a long time. i am pleased that it is landing where it belongs. i may have additional written comments later. commissioner moore: there is a fine grain of traffic conflict. it is partially because of traffic impacting how how you crossed the third street intersection on markets. there are like cumulative impacts in all of these blocks. there were great solutions for parking their cars -- the success of high-tech is being looked at fairly and squarely, the elements closer and further away. if we choose a corridor in the er -- yerba buena, i'm on page 139. i would ask they are moved closer right behind the marquee theater. i think they created a composition by which the layering of historic and new architecture works very well when you saw the museum of modern art composed

as a satellite parking intercepts that would be connected to the presidio. we end it up with a school district that will help us with that. because these are weekends and those sites and i used on the weekends. the business opportunities are best. that is why we are working to make this as successful as we can. we believe we can bring, when $4 billion to the bay area. imarketing and small business strategy. part of the small business opportunities. i think that is the conclusion of the presentation. >> i wanted to focus on economic development. this comes from a beacon economic report that was done in advance of the city signing. we're working with our office of economic analysis to make sure the planning has not change that number. it is one that impact how we plan. i wanted to focus on some of these small business opportunities. we not only have spectators to watch but the event authority who will have needs for hosting events. for stagecraft and all the rentals. we have the teens, this indicates that will be coming here and hosting their own events and ha

abc 7 is in the presidio with more. >> and they came here to the presidio to commemorate a treaty signed 6 owe years ago between two countries saying today they deepened that alliance between two nations and friends. and they said there are plans in the works to increase u.s. military presence in australia and cooperation between the two forces at the same time, they say they recognize cyber space as a battlefield of the future. and with the treaty commemorated today, there is a tiber attack that would be considered an attack on the other. ongoing efforts to get two hikers released from iran, they say the two should be released as a humanitarian gesture as promised. they're hopeful that that will happen. and they're counting on the iranian government to release them very soon. >> at this point we're not concerned because we have received word through a number of sources, that the decision will be executed on. and that we'll see the return to their family autos our goal is trying to get these hikers released and we've been assured that steps will be taken to make that happen. >> mahmoud a

it is on the corner of presidio in jackson. you cannot drive that corner without seeing a very large construction projects going on. as some of you have. there is simply nothing here that the possibly justify the petitioners, who are an engineer and architect, waiting 13 months and seven months to file this for jurisdiction. finally, we have include a discussion of vested rights in our document. -- we have included a discussion. i am sure you have heard this many times before, but we have relied substantially on a validly issued a permit and are well underway on construction. the building construction is over 50% complete, and more than $1 million has been spent. vice president garcia: if i could question you first? can we stop the time? would you turn to your exhibit -- not exist, but your brief, on page seven? we did not exhibit, but your brief, page seven? -- not the exhibit. the notice that was sent on august 14, 2009, is that for a hearing in july 2010? >> i am sorry. where are you? vice president garcia: i am on page seve

our district sectors, five districts sectors, ocean beach is the border, golden gate park, presidio. the richmond police station staff consists of one captain, myself. and my captain staff, once sergeant, sgt long, three officers. i have my right man, considered to be the commander. laurie has been around a number of years and is vital to with regards to giving a lot of influence and decisions. i think she actually got commander before you got promoted. just joking. our plane close units, one sergeant, six officers. the day what consists of two lieutenants, three surgeons, 24 police officers. night watch has two lieutenants, eight sergeants, 36 patrol officers. we have an investigative team with the six investigators. our motorcycle division, one sergeant and four officers, totaling 100 police officers at richmond station. i certainly want to acknowledge the fact that the chief has increased our motorcycle enforcement team from two officers to five. today, we had one of our officers retire. his picture will come up. it is officer jim mcguiness. the breakdown with guards to female and

most of the parks are in presidio as well. i want to say that and thank you for the time. thank you. president buell: thank you. >> hello, commissioners. my name is miguel molina. i'm 16 years old. i go to school in the city. i was raised in the city for four years, but due to rising cost of housing in the city my family moved out. so i know how important the housing that's going to built on the other side of this lot. it's for all these families coming in. what i'm here for, i'm here to ask you guys to take responsibility for this lot so that we can take responsibility and really turn it into something that families in this area can use which will be a park. and as a lot of people have come up and said, the mission only has like 1% of the park in the entire city. and i find that to be rather ridiculous considering how dense the, you know, the population is there. and when i'm walking around the city with all my friends, i'm walking around seeing these kids, like, playing in the streets. you know, fausing a football in the middle of traffic -- tossing the football in the m

barely made a presidio. they had, like, 50 or 60 people. 90% of the population was in san francisco, and everyone down the peninsula is saying if they are in the county, san francisco has this huge population, we are going to have to go along with them, so they can't get off -- they carved it off. >> it looks like it is the richmond district, but a kind of shows what was on the west side town. a great deal of it was sam, and for that reason, people thought that the weather and the san -- it was really not a place that people wanted to live, and it was going to be very typical for san francisco -- very difficult for san francisco to expand west. >> if you look at the early maps, it was 3 miles wide by about 6 miles long, this huge sand dunes that just moved around. >> here is an 1875 map of the laguna. says along the side of the map, high sand hills between the pacific ocean and the like. by the way, this had actually opened directly into the ocean. >> lake merced had a high water level. since we paid over mu
