That. Your points are extremely well taken, but i think youre actually starting to see the fruit of that strategy long before there was this data. President buell commissioner harrison. Commissioner harrison ornamental beds, was it the absence or they were not kept well . A park is never punished for a feature that the park doesnt contain. Its only what is at the park that is not maintained. You talk about ornamental bed, what is that . Its a piece of landscape that has planting. Its not necessarily a box, but it could be. If you look in a different neighborhood playground, center beds might be considered around port smith for example, the beds that align sort of the kearney and stockton around the perimeter of that park. We have a mix of landscapes. We have lawn, we have so the ornamental bed. Lawn is different, but where were actually planting plants and arranging beds, we consider those ornamental beds. Using port smith as example, that is a problem. That area. Considering that, and then getting to the equity like the commissioner mentioned, i notice in the Previous Report you had trained are they new gardeners or current staffs trained . They were trained bay friendly practices, which is heightened level of ecology and sustainable ecology. Am i saying that correct . Were they current staffing . Yes. Its just part of the ongoing training and workforce development. There is a standard called bay friendly practices which focuses on sustainable planting pallets and how to use our existing soil conditions, our existing water challenges, to maximize the ecology of what we plant and take care of. Excellent. Also, in that, what are the Staffing Levels like compared to the north side of San Francisco and the equity zones . Are the Staffing Levels equal to that . Commissioner, thank you for the question. The staff is pretty equitably districted. There was distributed. There was several issues pointed to. So many of the lower scoring parks are a result of deferred maintenance that has not been accomplished. That drags down the scores. But to your question, our complexes are pretty much equally staffed. What we have done and phil mentioned it before, is that reorganizing the work down in the bay view, mclaren, crocker, thats where we created the additional complex. And we looked at our supervisory structure and moved two high performing supervisors, reassigned them down there to further motivate and organize the staff. And so and all of those decisions were based from last years report. That drove this. I would ask one more staffing change, which is relevant to you, commissioner, we have created a southern complex of apprentices. Were locating apprentices at crocker and in Golden Gate Park and moving them around, but we do use our apprentice workforce in the parks that are lower scoring in an effort to bolster staffing as well. You did mention by reducing the number of areas an individual might have to take care is also an improvement and i congratulate you on all of this, but id like to see, i think, it would be important to have more staffing, gardening around and i would hope those with these apprentices would be promoted to full gardener at some point. Thank you. I have one quick question. I found just as one example, the graffiti distribution map to be interesting and wondered do you share the information and try to correlate it with other departments that have tangential issues around the things youre discovering here . There is actually a Graffiti Task force that is citywide and we definitely participated in it all the time. We have a lot of conversation between the painter shop and sfpd in context of the Graffiti Task force, so we try to get more information and get together. I guess where i was headed and this is not the time or place to go deep in this, but there has got to be good information here that can be correlated to Income Distribution and employment levels and all these things and then you look at the issues were facing, because it seems while it might not be our charge to stop graffiti, it might be interesting to learn about the incentives to create it. With that, i dont see any other commission comments, maybe Public Comment . Clerk any Public Comment on this item . Being none, that is closed. Item 12, general Public Comment. At this time, members of the public who are not able to address the commission on item 4 may address the commission on items that are within the subject matter jurisdiction of the rec and Park Commission and that do not appear on the agenda. Welcome city and everybody watching me on tv access, because i created this channel. The history will be told. Im here to tell and ask this com commission because of the recent article in examiner and im going to get on the editor of the examiner tt, because its fake news, opportunity news. It was some kind of conspiracy, because how in the hell i hope thats not a bad word, i done said it how is the hell the examiner supposed to be established paper here in the city is going to let an article get out like that right after the headlining of the legend of ed lee. It was perfectly placed so people reading about ed lee, they turn the next page, oh, renaming it after Justin Herman to ed lee. Not as long as im alive it wont be. And whoever did that is not about the community, its about a conspiracy. I wouldnt be surprised if silly willy did it. Silly willy is just a name i use in my book. See, im a writer, therefore i can use character names. I wont use the real name, but you know who im talking about, because thats going come out in the series called places, places all part of my cases. Over 20 years people say, he aint even seen a picture i took. If i took another picture, i got enough to fill this whole wall of things going down. You know what is going down . The black population is going down in this town. By the city, by the bay. Hey, im saying this because im happy, but i should be cussing the hell out the city and the community what theyve been doing, but theyd have city hall sheriffs coming out. Sometimes i rhyme, it come out naturally, because my name is ace, i have authority in the community, im the goto person for the black news, im coming back to city hall, you all, back by popular demand, not because im black, but back by popular demand. Conversations about racism and all that. Before the late ed lee, they were getting ready to line that up, when ed lee got into office in 2011, i got a picture. I had the black media. Everybody came but the sun reporter, i wonder why. When i come out here, im talking about black, white, all the main pressures in sight. I have to name names and i put a spin on it and name them the name i think. So lets go back, you read the article. Im telling you that you all need to tell whoever joined me to tell the examiner tt i need a full page add to rebuttal that. They didnt say anything about black community. Second of all, they didnt have no right along with the conspiracy. President buell thank you. Youre welcome. Clerk anybody else who would like to make general comment .
