Our domestic our department on the status of women, and the staff and all our Community Partners that do the work we do. This is how we survived the Domestic Violence system in the city. Thank you. [applause] thank you so much. As president zawart stated, prevention is a critical part of our work to stop the cycle of violence. For over 20 years, asianPacific Islander legal outreach has engaged youth through its Youth Advisory Council to address genderbased and dating violence in asian and Pacific Islander communities. Please join me in welcoming the Youth Advisory Council at the youth coordinator. Give him a warm welcome. [applause] good evening, everyone. We are the Youth Advisory Council from the legal outreach. We strive for and accepting an equitable future in which everyone is helpfully loved. As youth in our communities, it is important we engage in work against a mystic violence to educate our peers and prevent its occurrence in our everyday lives. Through this work, we believe in setting pathways to safety. The Youth Advisory Council meets to share a safe space where we are able to become activists and create positive change in our communities. In honor of Domestic Violence awareness month, every year the Youth Advisory Council sets up press sets of presentations about teen dating violence to youth organizations, schools, and Community Spaces oh, oh, all over the bay area. We inform our peers and give them a better understanding of healthy and unhealthy relationships and we also empower other youth and equip them with the skills and knowledge to make change in their communities. As youth ourselves, were able to directly connect with other youth and encourage them to be active and involved in their community. We believe in encouraging our young, male identifying peers to break the culture of silence regarding violence within our communities. We also seek to empower youth from the lgbt plus community, people of color, and women. They are patriarchal and systematic effects that are prevalent in our underserved communities, specifically low income people of color. There are societal norms that places men in positions of power over women. In my experience as a young woman of color, i have seen the cultural and societal expectations of gender roles placed upon women of color that make it difficult for women of color to tell the truth. These marginalized women are survivors and deserve justice, with this Justice System abuses their power to oppress this community. [applause]. We believe that in order to be helpful he loved, education is crucial. It is important to be able to identify an unhealthy relationship. For starters, and any relationship, it is important that both partners know what consent really is. Consent is a strong and continuous yes. It is also a decision that cannot be influenced by power imbalances. Another vital factor in safety and determining unhealthy relationships is the cycle of violence. A cycle of which the abuser or abusers traps a survivor in an unhealthy relationship. Through the Youth Advisory Councils presentation, we also shuck the importance of a pragmatic and optimistic mindset everyone should feel safe opening up to others, but we should still take the necessary precautions to ensure our safety and wellbeing. It is also crucial to be wellinformed of the reality of Domestic Violence, including some societal factors that perpetuate this issue. This mindset combines both positivity and it helps to avoid violence and or aggression. [applause] it is important among San Francisco teens because we present students with Accurate Information about Domestic Violence and the resources they can use to confront these situations. Often, teens take to social media to speak about issues, but only to the extent of republishing a post. They dont necessarily check their sources, and this leads to people being misinformed and quickly disinterested. We are helpful in this way because it gives straightforward and reliable information on Domestic Abuse and dating violence, as well as resources for people in these situations. This is especially needed in metropolitan areas such as San Francisco where there isnt a strong sense of community or people to watch out for one another. [applause] too often, youth are unaware of the resources that they have at hand if they find themselves in an unhealthy relationship. These resources include hotlines , restraining orders, and measures of selfdefence. Through our presentation, we work to bring attention to these issues, which are often not touched upon in schools. Our work as youth is equally, if not more important as the work of previous generations. Our actions will lead to pathways to safety for our youth , not only now, but as they grow into adult hood in the future. We urge you to listen to the youth around you. Encourage them to become involved in our communities, provide them the support that they need to make profound changes in our society. But most importantly, give them the resources to protect themselves and find pathways to safety and their environments. [cheers and applause] another round of applause for our Youth Advisory Council. So our final speaker tonight, before our concluding performance and group photo, please be sure to stay for the group photo, our final speaker is april mcgill, a california native and director of Community Partnerships and projects for the California Consortium of urban Indian Health. April will share about the incredibly important project called red women rising, which advocates for culturally Responsive Services for urban, indian survivors. Please give a warm welcome to april. [cheers and applause] [speaking indigenous language] my name is april mcgill. I am in the enrolled member of rep round valley indian tribe california native, San Francisco resident, and i want to recognize our ancestors whose land we reside on today. I just want to remind everybody that we stand on stolen land. This land was stolen by violence so we have a history of violence and all of our lives, in every single one of you. You have experienced experience that energy and that violence from this land. Our what red women rising project brings attention to the to Domestic Violence and missing and murdered Indigenous Women here in california. We work with all the urban Indian Health and tribal consortiums to bring more attention to violence against native women. As california indian women, we have experienced this violence since the gold rush. We know this violence. This has been happening throughout indian countries, that many nations, but our work is to make change with our rising project by bringing attention to policy and legislative initiative that can change and impact issues around Domestic Violence and missing and murdered Indigenous Women and in california. We work with many legislators to make change. We work with sovereign bodies institutes, we work with strong native women coalition, and we partner with all of our other grassroots organizations here in San Francisco that are also standing behind me. I wanted to share with you some statistics from sovereign bodys institute about california. Statewide, there are 135 missing and murdered Indigenous Women and girls cases across california that have been identified. California is number five for total number of missing and Indigenous Women and girls cases , alongside washington, new mexico, arizona, and montana. Seventyfive of all cases in california occurred in northern california. Nearly one third, 28 of all cases in the state, a humble of the humble county are involved with victims involved in tribes. Of the 135 cases, only seven have information on alleged perpetrators available to the public and only one of those alleged perpetrators has actually been charged. Over half the cases documented in california occurred in the last three years. From 2013 through 2015, the rate of these cases per year statewide increased by approximately 20 each year. In 2016, the right out the rate of cases increased, and in 2018, the rate increased, as well. San francisco is one of the highest in the state, which is really embarrassing considering that we have such a progressive state. One of the things that i can say is we are making change with the port with support from the mayor. Thank you, london breed for all your support for the American Indian community. Thank you supervisor ronen, and supervisor brown because we were able to pass a legislation a resolution in may recognizing may 5th as the national day of awareness ongoing missing murdered Indigenous Women. [cheers and applause] i would like to read the resolution. Were as Indigenous People have inhabited the north American Continent including the state of california for many centuries, and from the First Contact with settlers from other countries, native americans share their knowledge of the land and its resources and have continued to play a vital role in the development of local communities , the state of california, and the nation. Whereas, the missing murdered Indigenous Women and girls report from the urban Indian Health institute released in 20 2009 provides data from 71 urban cities across the United States on missing and murdered Indigenous Women and girls. Recognizing that a number of factors, including or Data Collection by law enforcement, and limited health resources, that there is an undercount of these women in urban areas such as San Francisco, and we are ranked tenth among cities with the highest number of these cases. Whereas the 2009 apology to native American People of the u. S. Recognizes special legal and political relationships Indian Tribes have with the United States, and the land we share. Recognize that there has been years of official policies and the breaking of laws by federal Government RegardingIndian Tribes. Apologize on behalf of the people of the United States to all native people for the many instances of violence, maltreatment, and neglect inflicted on native people by citizens of the United States, and commend that the state governments that have begun reconciliation efforts with native american tribes, located in the boundaries, encourage all state governments to work towards rock and say it reconciling relationships with Indian Tribes within their boundaries, were as the city and county of San Francisco has a responsibility to address the disapproved and an victimization of Indigenous Women from domestic and sexual violence, including missing and murdered Indigenous Women, and whereas, our sister, Jessica Nicole alva, lassie died on april 6th, 2019 at the age of 35 after being in a coma for four days as a result of an abusive domestic relationship. Jessica grew up in reading and lived in San Francisco for five years. She is survived by her mother cindy and her six children and four siblings with a stepbrother and stepsister. And whereas, in 2005, grassroots movements for the safety of Indigenous Women led to the struggle to include safety for indian women under the violence against women act. Whereas, of the last decade, awareness of the National Issue has increased, but more must be done at all levels to stop the disappearance and save lives of our women. Whereas, may 5th, 2017 was designated as the First National day of awareness for honoring missing and murdered Indigenous Women through the efforts of survival families, native american tribes, national, indigenous organizations and law and policy makers. Now resolve, this city and county of San Francisco permanently designates may 5th as honoring missing and murdered Indigenous Womens day in the city and county of San Francisco , and furthermore, will begin discussions with urban indian organizations, neighboring native american tribes, local tribal organizations to develop recommendations for local and indigenous victim advocacy services. Local and tribal justice responses including coordination and identifying the implemented solutions to strengthen the safety and health and wellbeing of our Indigenous Women. Thank you, San FranciscoMayors Office for this resolution. [applause] [cheers and applause] and i would like to ask my sister aurora to come up and introduce our red lightning women singers.

Clerk any Public Comment on this item . Item 3, general managers report. Good afternoon. It is harvest season. We have lots of harvest urban agriculture related updates. Last week our Agriculture Team hosted a day for 144 third graders from our local schools. Introducing them to the world of agriculture and farming in the city. They taught them about growing plants at home, nutrition, making cream into butter, grinding wheat into flour, composting and bee keeping. The stars of the day were 50 animals and insects brought in for the kids to get a touch on those found on the farm. Alpaca, ducks, chicken, goats, lamb and two hissing cockroaches. Ever heard a cockroach hiss . I havent. I want to give kudos to the team for putting it together. Staying on the theme, and staying at the farm, please join us this weekend for the 15th annual Harvest Festival event. Its saturday, october 19, from 11 00 to 4 00 p. M. , hosted by the friends of al maine farm. Farm fresh food and others. The farm is the largest urban farm in San Francisco and offers everyone the chance to learn where their food comes from, pitch in to help and take Fresh Produce home for free. For more on the event, visit their website. Staying at the farm. On november 2, please join us for another event from 10 00 a. M. To 1 p. M. For Garden Research day. We offer everything to get your home garden growing. So for more info, please check us out online. Were going to go down the road to shoreview park, where we were pleased to have been joined by commissioners mcdonnell and anderson, where we hosted an event to celebrate the upcoming improvement to this oneacre park. The park was transferred to recreation and parks in june 2017 from the office of Community Investment and infrastructure, formerly, redevelopment. The renovation will include new childrens play area, new picnic area, site furnishings, planting, new park lighting and new accessible paths of travel. The project is funded through a variety of sources including a Hud CommunityDevelopment Block grant. Yes, that is federal money coming into San Francisco. The california Natural Resources agency. And this commission was also extremely helpful in ensuring that we had the final piece of the puzzle in funding the playground. Were grateful. Completion of the project is anticipated next year. Moving west, we now arrive at the San FranciscoBotanical Garden. Where its newly transformed celebration garden will showcase iconic plants from the collection and provide a venue for special events. This 1. 7 million renovation was made possible through publicprivate partnership, including contributions from several donors and volunteers. What is not in my notes, but is true, this project was seedfunded pun intended with 75,000 from this commission in honor of the Botanical Garden 75th anniversary in 2015. It obviously took a little while to do the planning and raise the other money to get to the final total, but this project actually was planted by this commission. So another thank you to the recreation and Park Commission for doing that. We invite everyone to stop by and see the new garden soon. We continue west. And we arrive at scare grove. Where you can join us this friday, october 25, for our annual Family Friendly halloween event. This year is haunted houses, live entertainment, carnival ride, games, food, and a costume parade. Tickets can be purchased in advance. This is the Halloween Party of the year. Please dont miss it. For more information join us at rec and park. Even though its not in my notes, because i see linda in yellow, i should be announcing the final concert for hosted by friends of the amp, at the jerry garcia amphitheatre. This saturday, october 18. I dont do this, linda, but the artists name is stan sutherland. We have a great conperformance this saturday. These are free concerts in mclaren park, which if you have not visited mclaren park, it is truly, truly, a treasure. And we are so grateful to friends of the amp for all of the blood, sweat, tears and just love you invest in the jerry garcia amphitheatre. Please support them and show up next saturday. Lastly, i return back to Golden Gate Park on this whirlwind tour of our park system. I did want to update the commission on a milestone in our efforts to make Golden Gate Park safer for pedestrians and bicyclists. We were joined by supervisor vallie brown along with bike and pedestrian advocates and our sister agencies mta and public works earlier this month in Golden Gate Park to celebrate the last of 13 raised crosswalks recently installed in Golden Gate Park, capping three years of trafficcalming measures in the park as part of the citys vision zero initiative. We were joined by supervisor brown, walk sf, Communications Director lindsay, and in fact, we all, including me, helped stripe the new raised crosswalk on j. F. K. Drive east of 8th avenue on october 3rd. It was the first time in my ten years i have ever operated a crosswalk striper, president buell, so we can check that one off the box. The Improvement Project was launched in 2016, following an executive directive from then mayor ed lee and includes floating curbs along the bike lane, striping, hit posts and media extensions. Since improvements began, the number of vehicles battling over 30 Miles Per Hour has fallen 30 . We still have a ways to go. To make the park as safe as it could or should be. We plan to implement longer Term Solutions to keep pedestrians and cyclists safe in the park which sees 26 million visits per year. This month in parks, were going to see a video, because we had the great speaking of Golden Gate Park, the great pleasure of hosting the u. S. National lawn bowling championships at the lawn bowling courts in Golden Gate Park. The courts built by john mclaren. And included mini ill luminaries from all around the country, including teddy roosevelt. This is just a beautiful place where history meets recreation. We and the club and the commission has been supportive of this one too have done a lot of work on the greens and the clubhouse. They built a new history wall. And we welcomed lawn bowlers from all over the country for three to four days of pretty intense competition. The bowlers themselves believe this to be the finest lawn bowling venue in the United States of america. So with that, i will turn it over to ryan who will cue up the video. [ ] my lawn bowling jacket. This guy is quite a character. President buell impressive. And that concludes the general managers report. Clerk any Public Comment on the item . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Commissioner mcdonnell as wonderful moments are important on their own, i want to pause to say thank you. The celebration at shoreview park, where were going to be making an investment in transforming this space for these children and their families was noteworthy on a number of levels. And so first, thank you to the general manager, the team, especially lamonte bishop for ensuring we were able to get to this moment. The context of this moment. As a native san franciscans, grew up in the fillmore i watched the citys transformation where these investments did not happen. And so to come forward now and begin to see these kinds of investment made in communities who traditionally have been overlooked, if not ignored, is noteworthy. I was particularly moved by one of the advocates from the community who spoke at the event yesterday and she said, you know, im really excited. Weve been working so long and hard on this. And she said, sadly, my kids, who were young when i started this fight, are now adults. And so they wont get a chance to take advantage of it, however, all of these kids and she pointed to the Wonderful Group of young people, Young Students who were there, will be able to. So it reminded me and again reminds me of a song i will not sing [laughter] the wine sang, its been a long time coming, but a change has finally come. Ive waited past evening, tell me when will i see the sun . And what is exciting, were seeing the sun in San Francisco, so thank you to the entire team. Thank you so much. President buell thank you. Clerk were on item 4, general Public Comment. Up to 15 minutes. This is continued to item 10. Members of the public may address the commission on items of interest within the subject matter jurisdiction of the commission and do not appear on the agenda. You will have opportunity to address the commission. I have one blue card. Deborah joseph. Thank you. I live next door to Cabrillo Playground in a house that my family has lived in 70 years. I see and hear everything on the playground. In fact, im the founder of the friends of Cabrillo Playground and as you know, we have a beautiful new playground that opened in 2013 and were usually rated top in the city. Its a wonderful, wonderful, playground, thank you very much. But were beginning to have a problem with skateboarders. As you know, skate boards do a great deal of damage to playgrounds. And we talked to them, we tried to dissuade them, but what it really comes down to is they need a place to skate. And in august our supervisor sandra fewer held a meeting about outside lands for our community. And along with the regular complaints about the noise, the traffic, the parking, a few people said, well, wait a minute, i live here, i have to put up with all this, what do i get out of it . Good question. Now i stood up and said why dont you talking to alan scott from another planet entertainment, why dont you pay for a skate park for our kids, Richmond District kids, sunset district kids, put it in the park, west of 25th avenue, accessible to all the kids . And he said thats a great idea. So thats my suggestion. They could call it another planet skate park and it would great p. R. The residents would see that something is being done. Theyre giving us Something Back and the kids would have a place to skate. Thats my suggestion. Why dont you Start Talking to another planet about a skate park for us . And i spoke with Aaron Anderson last year about potential sites and there are some. One i think he said was near the new soccer fields. But there are few places where they could do it. I just wanted to put this idea in your minds and see where we can go with it. Because we would like to give the kids a place to skate and keep our playground in tiptop condition. Thank you. Clerk any other Public Comment . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. We are now on item 5, consent calendar. Commissioners, i need a motion to sever that item from the calendar. So moved. Second.

My name it lamonte bishop and im with the policy and im here on behalf of the Harvey Milk Photo Center and to create a Photo Library and reading space in the lobby of the center. This request would meet our strategic plan, specifically strategy one to inspire space. And place, im sorry and the objective would be 1. 4 to preserve and celebrate historic and culturele resources. Al reso. Hees bn he is a historic documentaryian and civil rights leader. He began photographing fillmore first for assignments and then as a documentary maker. His black and white images capture the black community in 1940s, 50s and 60s. David grew up in foster care. In age of 12, he developed an interest in photography after winning a camera in a contest. He was drafted into the navy before graduation from high school. After completing a tour in the philippines during world war ii, he returned to his hometown where he read aboutancele adam ansel adams photography. He asked to join the program and when a spot opened up, mr. Adams invited him to live in his home while he found a place to live. And with no formal training, mr. Johnson came to San Francisco in 1945 at the age of 18, with his 5 eastman folding camera in his pocket. His photographs have come to be recognized for their depiction of the fillmore before urban redevelopment in the 1960s. They have been featured in documentaries and books, including his own book of photography, a dream so long ago, David Johnsons photographs of the fillmore, that was published in 2012 with his wife. His photography retrospect is was told he Fort Mason Center in San Francisco. And at the San Francisco africanamerican historical and cultural society. His lifestyle documentary documented Community Activities during an era in california. Mr. Johnson took an interest in the fillmore because he was searching for the neighborhood where all the black people lived. At the time, it was home to 40,000 africanamericans who had come to work in the city shipyard during the war. There were black shops, restaurants throughout the district and he felt it helped him catch the images of the community. And as a result, many of johnsons photographs depict the lifestyles of his neighbors, from couples dancing in jazz clubs, to black and while children playing together outside a local church. He opened the Johnson Photography studio with his late wife. He worked at the post office. But, of course, as things happen in San Francisco, due to high overhead costs, mr. Johnson was forced to close his studio. And for a while had estopped take he stopped taking photos professionally, but then in 1989 at the encouragement of his daughter, he submitted photos. That recognition from the 2001k. Q. D. Restarted his career. Hes been awarded a certificate of honor by mayor newsom in 2004. His name is engraved in the fillmore and hes received a Public Service award from the university of california for work in the ash bury. His photograph captured the march on washington were featured in an exhibition at the library of congress in washington d. C. To commemorate the protests 50th anniversary in 2013. Mr. Johnson has photographed many prominent africanamericans, including thurgood marshall, jackie robinson, former mayor willie brown jr. He became as a delegate in the naacp chapter. In 2008, they held an exhibit called David Johnson. And this past june, david returned to jacksonville where he received more than 50 proclamations from national, state and civic communities for his contributions. The commission provided guidelines in the naming policy which sets forth a criteria that people may be recognized for their contributions to the city and the recreation and parks department. Because of his significant contribution to creating an Educational Opportunity to capture the rich history of the fi fillmore, we would like to name the photo processing center, the David JohnsonPhoto Processing Lab and create a reading space in the lobby of the center. We have received over 100 letters in support of the request and there have been two Community Meetings held on friday, september 27 and thursday, october 10. Based on the feedback from community members, organizations and rec and Park Department staff, the staff recommends that the Photo Processing Lab at the Harvey Milk Photo Center be named the David JohnsonPhoto Processing Lab and to create a Reference Library and reading space in his name as well. At this time i will take questions. President buell thank you. Clerk id like to acknowledge that david and Jackie Johnson are here. Theyve requested to come up last, so ill be calling them up after the other cards. I have michael and then barbara and then angela. My name is michael johnson. Full disclosure, i am an employee of rec and park. I work in the Park Rangers Division there. President buell welcome. Im sure ive talked to one or two of you. Im here as davids son. And remember actually going to the Harvey Milk Photo Center as a teenager. We lived on central avenue. Central and haight. And the wild haight ash bury. I wasnt old enough to appreciate what was going on, thats probably a good thing in the long run, but great memories of the Harvey Milk Center. And learning the art of photography from my father before i could read. I think placing this in honor of my father would be a great memory place for San Francisco. Its something that i think will have the effect i believe of the pond and the pebble and the Ripple Effect will go out from harvey milk. Its not that harvey milk is not on the map. Its a place that a lot of people know. But its a chance to take those memories that have been created by my father and to move that on to other people, help other people honor that memory with a Reference Library and also with the naming of the Photo Processing Lab. I think it will be a chance for, as people turn to film again, and get back to the art of photography, not everybody has a telephone, but when we come back to the old process, heres a chance to create a place of memory for San Francisco and also have to more people come and enjoy the Harvey Milk Center for what it is. Thank you. President buell thank you very much. Clerk barbara . My name is barbara thompson, im Community Activist in San Francisco and have been living here most of my life, over 70some years. I want to thank a couple of people. Mark, thank you so much. I want to thank you all of you for being a part of what were doing here and i appreciate you. Eric, thank you so much. I feel your energy. It inspires me and i thank you. Sara, thank you. And chris, i want to thank chris for all hes done. And david. Anyway, thank the commissioners for you hearing us and being part of this momentous adventure were going on. Thank you so much
