They responsive to your and fyi if you sell a product which includes a cd or tape unfortunately, were so digital that is not the way people sell their product but a product you made you could currently right now go into the street Artist Program and get one of the stalls in a variety of locations for a period of time that is already something we can and will you know send people to if they come in with that but if they dont have something to sell they dont qualify if you want to put a hat out you cant in order to change that it requires a vote of the people of San Francisco theyre considering this is a very old 1972 piece of legislation you might have voted for it to create the street Artist Program maybe not you but it needs to go back to the voters that is not out of the question at all for the Arts Commission but were talking a few years. So someone puts out a hat thats the major modification. Based on the requirement for the street 56r9s program do you said. You have to you canned make policy change without going back to the voters. No. The reason i ask you is because there is a section like was created by the voters but when they the the music culture amendment to the 90 a it went to the board of supervisors only did not go back to the people thats why im asking you that question and so 90 a was a policy statement theyre totally different we wanted to make an amendment to chapter 90 i believe you have to go back to the voters. So we cant do it in the street not a program making a policy thing you can put out a hat. I think you can not number two of selling a product. Okay okay new just asking. All right.

Thank you. Were optimistic and finally recommending two bills sb x one 2 that redirected the cap trade funds as important to keep it if transit sb puc has the light rail vehicles were hoping to seek the funding for the sfmta. Where is it proposed from. Excuse me. And who is proposing. Senator hearing officer. From. I dont know where thank you. North bay. We think and finally were recommending a positions on sb x one weve seen a lot of those bills basically kill the high speed rail by pretending bonds and at the federal level weve been operating under a number of continuing resolution the federal transportation bill weve seen more likely so see them towards the end of the year the senate has introduced a long term 6 year reauthorization bill called redeveloping the vision for the economy or drive as the means it is focused on highways and roads with some new restrictions on percentage of funding for transit good news it does increase the funding for transportation and increases the flexibility that the local jurisdictions have to address its own concerns there is a recent development theyre proposing to eliminate the Tiger Program that is a competitive funding for San Francisco and the region and it will be sad to see that program go away with that ill be happy to answer any questions. Thank you. Good morning tilly chang bart has announced recently the general manager theyll propose to their vote to take a bond to the bay area were tracking that the bay council did a poll of the arts alameda and contracosta alameda to see how voters feel about a bond measure to primarily be for maintenance needs but to address operational and other sort future expansion it is our opportunity to weigh in our staff work with these with the Mayors Office and bart itself to better understand what the options are important composing that program now there is a decision to move forward at least a proposal from the general manager in proposing that to her board. Thank you. Well check in for your guidance on that. Supervisor kim. Thank you. I just had a question on that if theres a 3 county bond measure inch not seen 0 one in my time a 2 3rds plus one vote. Im not sure if we 2 3rds yeah, im told twittered the first thing and cross the 3 counties. The county below and santa fe San Francisco was super high the average of the 3 and also how many county wasnt participate in that bond. I think by agreement san mateo will not and santa clara has contributed on a different basis so the 3 county for this bond as i understand. I understand on a more curious question in general how many counties can participate in a bond measure like that. The bart is formed as the 3 sdriblthsd could be as many as the bart district but maybe another regional measure for the bridge tolls all the county in the area. And were trying to get to a press conference downstairs so if we can do a quick response. We need the state legislation like the gas tax theyll put it up on the smaller sunset. Ill ask enjoy realize were on a time issue. Thank you very much we can open up for Public Comment any member of the public seeing none, Public Comment is closed. This will be same house, same call .

Supervisor kim. I have a particular interest this is ann has an interest in the downtown area im interested in some of the difference Management Concepts and curious it in the background and work im not sure how many containments have been working im not familiar beyond la what other adjudicators have taken on the program and maybe there isnt a lot of persistence. A lot in the persistence in the la area and the alameda couldnt and currently seeking a plan for the entire region but the point to be aware of many of the efforts so for in the region either new h o v or a conversion in San Francisco it is a bit of a challenge in that the constraint maybe to alternatives that dont necessarily relate to the capacity. Supervisor kim we can absolutely have another meeting the state of california has been sort of a forer of the state weve seen a lot more implementation of those things and there is substantial experience in south bay as mentioned and east bay and lomdz has in place a grade of 5 corridors 101 is currently under study in san mateo and wanted to continue to look at San Francisco the conversion and potential others Management Studies for 101 and 280.

Item 78 adjournment. Colleagues, were adjourned im robert chief and im the parks supervisor in the parks in the sunset district. Ive been working here for 3 years. We are 6070 street below street level. The 64 acre park. The park is divided into 2 sections we are in the stern area. When you get over to pine lake meadow and pine lake pine lake is considered a natural area. In 1847 the green family came out here back then this was kind of an empty canyon and sand dun area. They claimed this property. In 1892. George green whos a Second Generation built the truckdaro club house. There was a hotel then. It was said this was the place to go if you were weary of the dirty city and the police. There were a couple of gun fights the front door has bullet holes. I dont ever repair them. 1931 stig mond bought the property from the green family. She donated it to the city of San Francisco and had a specification, im giving it to the city that will be used forever for the enjoyment forever of the people of the city of San Francisco. It has ever since. Every summer the Stern Grove Association in San Francisco rec and parks put on 10 free concerts. Usually people come out at 10 in the morning its a family affair. Everybody is on the lawn with picnics and its free. Anybody can come out. Its a great way to spend a sunday. Goes to 12 in the afternoon and runs until 5. [music]. Thanks to the Stern Grove Association they renovated the concert meadow. It used to be a rolling grafsy area. Put in a new stage and stage building. They put in terraces. We get from 8,000 to 12,000 people. And the meadow next to the concert meadow is full of people even though they cant see the music they hear it. I walked into the meadow several times and they dont even care. We do have literally events going on day and night. The Concert Association has kids days during the week. The performers come out for hundred 200 kids. Now, the truckadero truck house gets rented out for weddings and retirement. The croquet clubs and horse shoes. 2 play grounds, tennis courts. We have from 25 to a hundred dogs here. Its like bisons going across the mid west. There are so many dogs they are covering the ground cht its a get together. All the dog walkers know each other. If you go to pine lake day camp now, you will see 50 kids there. The rec directors are wonder. The pine lake is natural. They take of the area around the lake. They plant natives that are drought tolerant. One that stands the dry summers here. The whole park is under going quite a bit of reconstruction. They will renovate the trails around the lake. And the big project is the Capital Project for pine lake meadow. They are going to returf the dog run and the meadow by the day camp. We are looking for a very busy fall. By the spring of next year should have major renovations to the mark thal make it an outstanding park. I dont ever refer to it as my park. All the parks belong to all the people. This park belongs just as much to the families in the bay view sdrishth as it does to the gentlemen that lives across the street. Im happy and proud to be the caretaker for them. I wake up every day and thank that i have.
