mayor, g gnra is a recreation area. as the recreational use for decades has been dog walking. thousands of city of san francisco has long walked their dogs for dog walking. they are imposing restrictions that would severely limit san franciscans ability to utilize ggnra and result in a shift from many dogs from the federal urban recreation areas to already over crowded city parks. board of supervisors recently unanimously passed the resolution that i authored to oppose this proposal by the national parks service. congresswoman jackie spears has been very supportive in the opposition to the park services plan and our federal representative democratic leader, nancy pelosi recently sent a letter to the park service asking the park service to extend the public comment period which it subsequently did and also take into account the recreational needs of dog walker's and dog owners at the g gnra. mr. mayor, do you agree that the ggnra plan goes too far in restricting dog access? will you work with the board of supervisors and our federal representative to encourage the national park

the parks and recreation staff go out four times a year so every park is rated. we should have up to five scores of each park every year. that's what makes the result of this report. as you can see on this chart, this is over all trend for the last 7 years. what you are seeing from light to dark green are within the quarter within that year and the diamond is giving you the over all score for that year. we are continuing the upward trend and this is the first time since there has been a little bit of movement. 87 percent of the park scores above 85 percent. if a park is getting 85 percent it's in generally good condition. 69 percent have improved. if you compare this to last year, the numbers are different. steve will explain in a few minutes about the reweighting we did in the scores. we retroactively applied it to these scores. so the trend should remain the same. so what you are seeing here is a distribution of parks. in the green we have parks that are over 90 percent and yellow under and red under 80 percent. you can see the parks are still doing well. we ha

this project you will just add another half million to glen park for restoration or recreation or whatever it's called. and it being added to a very expensive project. the project is so expensive because it does the things which should never have been allowed. it's a place that tennis players and their own way, where tennis player didn't want. it will be as it was before. i was told to build on that hill it will be at least five times more expensive than to build on this flat area. since the money is spent, it's public money. the exception for this project was based on the lie, a statement that it will be on the program area. not on the hill and not on natural areas of the park. meanwhile over 50 trees which were not in the project area but the neck -- next part of the park. all of them, the hazardous -- the ability for trees but posted as hazardous for the public. at least you can eucalyptus trees were -- beneath. they were acting as giants holding the soil. no other newly planted trees can do these things. they have at least 300 years of life in them. they were taken out. the way they de

i'm here to talk about the parks and recreation. there is no safe use of herbicides. they call problems and dysfunction. the danger water supplies. the natural areas program is the worst offender. on this chart, if you can see it, but two herbicides in areas has increased by all measures. in number of applications of pesticides used by 200-400 percent. the data is available to 2012. by the way, it has not database for the documents. the second chart compares the herbicides used for all the departments. it includes the golf courses with the use of the nature areas program and to have the complete picture, you have to control the land of the san francisco which is -- but to have the picture, you have to multiply it by three. the use of that. it will give you about five more the use than the other parts combined. last week there was a use n of herbicides. i don't know what's happening. last month, mid-november there was the use of herbicides in it was milestone. you have an article in milestone. it's so bad that the crops were ruined by the manure from the animals which

recreational users will not be able to use marijuana in . dr under the influence for taking out the states although out of steam buyers can purchase up to a quarter ounce opening up the possibility of kennedy's tourism. marijuana has in recent years been gaining popularity for medicinal use with a growing number of countries allowing doctors to prescribe it. the drive to legalize and regulate its use for recreational purposes is due in part to the failure of governments to effectively combat its illicit use fuelling a rise in organized criminals who supply contracts. apart from amsterdam netherlands which has long allowed the use of candidates in so called pot cafes this year he outlined it in the first country in the world to fully legalize and regulate the production sale and use of marijuana its moslem and one that will come into force in april. is you and actually cake looks into a true georgia has said the new record with this unusual ability to attract real objects to his body the forty one year old became aware of his style and a few

we feel we have a strong acquisition stronl at this point between planning recreation and parks. we have not done much with the series renovation projects to serve the additional population that we are expecting. looking at the portfolio projects that parks and recreation opens and maintains in the eastern neighborhood. we came up with a list of priority projects based on feedback from the community and also our own understanding of the general condition of those cites and the extent to which they are also have been unable to generate funds for those projects and there are parks that need to be renovated and parks that we've been able to renovate with the trusted land and other partners and there is others that we have not been able to find other funding for providing. some of those parks include jackson playground, mission rec's, franklin square, and potrero hill, which is the name of the property but it's the rec's center that seems to be an outstanding place, the cal trans property maintains and the city wants us to integrate that sight further and make potential improvements.

i have been working cooperatively and collaboratively with the parks and recreation staff as to how to distribute funds to the car barn project. the list you summarized pretty well. our highest priority is to move forward with the design set. we have 8 designs. we have a couple of hundred thousands of dollars to work the schematic designs. the total cost for the design works to move forward is $1.3 million of which the architectural fees are $653,000. so, again we would be able to use these funds if we moved forward in our capital campaign to match and leverage with private sources. we've also been looking at potential immediate capital needs to be done out of scope and one of those is replacing the powerhouse roof which is the attachment on the northern end of the building where the power supply for the electric train systems was located. as you mentioned the roof is leaking. so we've talked to the architects and there is a possibility of replacing that roof right now and the benefit of ceiling the buildings and the elements of the capital part of the budget. that is estimated to be $
