not likely to be on the playground at 8 a.m. on a november day. transbay shower does not shadow this park but potentially other buildings by about.03%. chinese reck center is another potential of the parks. almost a full mile away from the one building. the transbay tower. the shade would happen in mid october and february for one or two weeks at a time. shadow would be a maximum of five minutes long. at 8:25 a.m. in five minutes is maybe a generous total for that but it does potentially hit it. most the shadow would fall on the roof of the new reck center building. the reck center was just built. opened this year. we believe the shadow, five minutes a couple weeks the year and falls mostly on the roof of the reck center would almost not be visible to anyone. there is no budget established. you would need make finding about adversity or lack thereof to this open space. for quantitative purposes the transbay tower would add.008% shade to reck center. lastly bowdecker park, about a mile away from the one building, the transbay tower, which might shad

the alliance issued their playground report card last week and i'm happy to say that the last report card we had showed 30 playgrounds in the system that were sub par, this year, it's down to 16, and if we can get the bond passed in november, i think we'll have 0 sub par playgrounds in the future, but i want to congratulate the staff and the general manager on the management of the system to bring with limited resources 15 or 14 more parks in the line under those circumstances. i also want to congratulate the staff because the first phase of the america's cup, the smaller boats had their first event and i think it went off in a grand manner in no small due to the recreation park department's preparation down at the marina green, so congratulations to all on that, and i think that concludes my report. thank you very much. >> is there any public comment on this item? seeing no public comment, it is closed. we are on item 3, the general manager's report. >> good morning, commissioners, some news and announcements in a summary of some upcoming events, this past saturday, we were joined by

unlike the old playground, the new one is accessible to people with disabilities. this brand-new playground has several unique and exciting features. two slides, including one 45- foot super slide with an elevation change of nearly 30 feet. climbing ropes and walls, including one made of granite. 88 suspension bridge. recycling, traditional swing, plus a therapeutics win for children with disabilities, and even a sand garden with chines and drums. >> it is a visionary $3.5 million world class playground in the heart of san francisco. this is just really a big, community win and a celebration for us all. >> to learn more about the helen diller playground in dolores park, go to sfrecpark.org. >> welcome to city hall. thank you for joining us. thank you for coming out. i want to thank members of the board of supervisors. i want to thank them for being here in this joint recognition of our commissioners and members of 14 different bodies that will be appointed today to committees and commissions. i want to thank all the friends and family for joining us. let me say how

. >> the playground is unique in that it serves a number of age groups, unlike many of the other properties, it serves small children with the children's play grounds and clubhouses that has basketball courts, it has an outdoor soccer field and so there were a lot of people that came to the table that had their wish list and we did our best to make sure that we kind of divided up spaces and made sure that we kept the old features of the playground but we were able to enhance all of those features. >> the playground and the soccer field and the tennis fields and it is such a key part of this neighborhood. >> we want kids to be here. we want families to be here and we want people to have athletic opportunities. >> we are given a real responsibility to insure that the public's money is used appropriately and that something really special comes of these projects. we generally have about an opportunity every 50 years to redo these spaces. and it is really, really rewarding to see children and families benefit, you know, from the change of culture, at each one of these properties >> and as a resu

there's no current available budget for the playground, the proposed increase is 0.03%. moving on to the chinese rec center which is about 4500 feet away from the transbay tower, almost a mile away, the chinese rec center as you know is just recently reopened after a significant reconstruction, renovation, i believe it just reopened this summer, it consists of a three storey indoor recreational facility and a smaller outdoor play area. the shadow would occur for a maximum of five minutes at 8:25 in the morning roughly for a few days in october and a few days in february and would predominantly fall on the roof of the new rec center. this is not an actively used roof, there's no roof deck or they don't play facilities on the deck, it's just a roof. and this is one of the two parks for which there is no budget established by the 1989 memo or any subsequent actions so there is no proposed quantitative change to those limits, it would add 0.008% shadow to the park and the actions related to the transbay tower would find that this shadow would not be adverse to the use of the
