i am a resident of san francisco. i have been for 25 years. i am here in opposition to the ordinance here. my take on this is that the park -- i have been following this story, following this process for the last few years. my take on it is that park and iraq has done a great job coming up with common-sense solutions to address a lot of the issues. it permits the habitat to be enhanced. making sure that dangerous species are protected, it provides protection for the historic landmark golf course, where we continue to have golfers existing in harmony, with the environment, as they have for the last eight years. i want to make one point from some of the things i referred. i have heard repeatedly the the golf course is losing money. one of the people said it was $160,000 per year. i want people to understand the that only happens when you ignore the fact that $250,000 per year is taken out of the fund, overhead charges that are legitimate, applied to the golf course, and the golfers and fees are paying for overhead charg

i'm a member of the san francisco community. i have been going to the festival for the last eight years. i have seen the transformation of the park. they clean up when they are gone. it is miraculously. from 12:00 midnight until the next morning, you would never even know that millions of people have that incredible experience. for me and my car with the school district, there's an extraordinary opportunity for our kids. there is no "no." it is such an efficiently run event for most important is the safety of our kids and the optimum experience. they have both. i want to share a couple of comments with you. i know warren hellman to be a man with a generous, humorous, and kind spirit, to be a man who loves and supports all children, and one of the most extraordinary things i know about mr. hellman, having been a middle school teacher and middle school principal, i have been a mom of a teenager. he intentionally invites nearly 4,00012-year-olds to his birthday party. as they are leaving this event, i could close my eyes and in a m

i myself am a non-native san franciscan, but i know that there are native san franciscans who have grown up with these tall, majestic trees, these specific ones, not just in general. and would probably be very surprised and dismayed to find out that this whole entire line of trees -- plus others because they have not been specific about -- they have acknowledged, "those will be taken out and new ones will be put in," but the specific ones have not been identified. thank you very much -- oh, i still have -- commissioner buell: that is just an early warning. >> again, thank you for your time and attention to this. the other thing i want to mention is the money. the cost of removing these trees is huge. i noticed on the agenda, we were talking about acknowledgment of costs, but we do not know how many thousands of dollars these mean. >> is there anyone else who would like to make general public comment at this time? seeing none, general public comment is closed. we are on items six, the san francisco zoo. >> good morning. i have something fun to show you. this is a clip from the sharks play

i got to understand the innovative spirit in san francisco. at night, i volunteered as a neighborhood leader and as feature of an affordable housing organization. i learned so much about the challenges facing our neighborhoods and the special jewels that are the urban villages we live in. i ran for office because i wanted to serve the city and protect all that is so special about san francisco. >> what lessons did you learn after campaigning for supervisor? >> san franciscans are incredibly interested in their city government, local politics, and making sure that we remain the most amazing city in the world. i learned that san franciscans during campaign read everything they are sent in the mail. they love to meet the candidates and engage in conversations with them. i learned how important it is to build bridges between different communities, particularly communities of diversity that we have. i was incredibly honored to have been elected in november of 2008. >> where do you place yourself on the political spectrum? >> i consider myself someo
