And i cant get the family members to move to well, anyway. They do a good job getting this information out. To certificate holders. One thing i want and i notice it might be off the sur joke, and ive been crying for a number of years, to try and get the grandkids certificates of preference also. We have a lot of them who would love to come back to the community but unfortunately they dont have a certificate. I have one son who was born after we moved and i never used my certificate of preference even though i bought a home. I never used my certificate yet in hopefully if i get mine out, and turn my home inform my daughters name i can get a senior place away from the kids. I whoa love to see some of the grandkids get certificate. Ms. London breed, i used to bring that up then. Maybe you guys could blow in her ear and have get that for the grandkids. But like i said, theyre doing a tremendous job in getting out the information and i know, i have some my wife has some nephews and nieces that live in maduro and i forget what the other place is. We were telling them about certificate of preference also. They do have certificates and they were relocated and i talked to people who is out of the city and tell them to get in contact with the certificate preference information and some of them have and theyve been blessed getting the information to them so they can give it to the other people who it is going around where the list should be getting larger. Thank you, very much. Thank you. Next speaker. Casandra. Good afternoon, board of supervisors. Thank you for being here. Thank you for i was asked by zonia to come and speak. I want to just im a certificate of preference holder. I was a infant when my parents were displaced. They were vibrant artists in the community. My mother was from sweden and she spoke very little english. My father drove a cab and was a sculptor. Very young man. When i was a baby, we moved. And no one told me why. My family would drive back to San Francisco over and over again when i was a little girl. I never knew why. I was very artistic and i was cultivated to love the arts and i never understood these trips back into the city. My father was a proud sa sil yan and he would talk about it and dream about it. I grew up and went to college. I got a bachelor degree at u. C. Berkeley and i lived far from high school and went to Community College first and got my masters degree and living in berk re. Im an artist and engage in the arts and music. And when the Outreach Office contacted my father and i guess 2015, he called to tell me about this program and they said its a scam. Its a scam. I know its awful in the bay area to find remotely Affordable Housing if you are in the arts and i teach at a college as a lecturer and so its kind of Scattered Work but to return my father here and mother through their daughter. So i thought it was a scam. And even when my father kept pushing me to look into it, when i did, brooke was working in sonias position and i was skeptical but i sent in my birth certificate and got this certificate mailed to me. I remained skeptical. I thought what kind of program could this be . It doesnt make sense. Ultimately, i was called by thie these people calling me . What is their motive. And so, the private investigators who reached out to my family ultimately i now live in San Francisco and return to San Francisco and im the first in a lottery for the measure a building and so it took me a lot of work. So i just wanted give my family spoke of this beautiful African American neighbors and now i get this was a very rich community. Thank you. Thank you. Ash washington. Can you come up to the mic. My name is ace. I was born in that place. You know my history i dont have time to go but one day i sat down to talk about it because its one extreme to the other and i want to congratulate the staff and and when she first came here and and she did a wonderful job and i dont know you came on the same time and that picture and so, they did a wonderful job and it cannot be denied. Im just going to talk about right now, the next two minutes. Is history young lady. She can understand. She comes from where she can. I was born and raised and i came up when development agency, i knew mary rogers and when they tried sued to try to get the master lease and which i would call a certificate of preference and whatever you call it right now and im honored i believe able to have this and none were on ex september foon ex septembs morales and i hear in the report theres a whole big list that we dont know who the people are and there is a list still its called the master list. And waypack sued some of their hard on money we got from the federal government to get that list. So i wont go into it. Ive got one minute left. Im honored and amazed and i have to get your photos because theyre doing a wonderful job. I got to give it to you. You are part of the new era. Because right now we dont have no time for era. In the three eras are misguided leadership, failed effort, and the most egregious violation that ace on the case cannot stand is undermining the community. Everyday we had a level that we started and we starting a whole new era and we have london breed, queen b the mayor and all this new stuff going on so im just happy. Im tickled, not tickled pink but tickled black rit now and and thank you, very much. Thank you mr. Washington. No more speaker cards. Is there anybody here here what and are there any questions or comments. No questions. Just a comment of joining the others with congratulating you, pam, sonia, you know i just bother you all the time. All the time. But i thank you that you make yourself available for that and if you dont have the answer, you find it and you come back and pam, for this thorough report, full can annual thank you so much maria, as a team. Thank you,. Vicechair. I echo the bank and i have some questions and i just jotted them down but one of them, im interested in the usage of dalia by by stakeholders. Theres a percentage that is still doing business and i am just trying to see whether dalia is a good tool. Again, pam sims. And actually, dalia continues to be a very good tool for our cop holders as you know are elders. And actually the number of paper avenuapplications was up for 189 versus 17 or 18. There were six paper applications for cop holders out of 209. Thats excellent. Another question i have is, because i keep getting confused in my mind about the rent subsidiaries is the Cue Foundation the only vehicle for rent subsidies . Unfortunately, that is the primary goto organization for rent subsidiaries that are on going there. Other organizations that may help with deposits or application costs, moving costs but for on going rental subsidiaries, the Key Foundation is pretty much it. The Housing Authority vouchers are another good source. Unfortunately our Housing Authority isnt right there right now. It could be a couple years before any vouchers are available for them. How does the Cue Foundation obtain the money to provide the subsidiaries . Does it come from the city . Yes. And if you want a more comprehensive answer, maria can answer that for you but yes, it comes from the city. Ok. Im trying to wonder why the city doesnt do it directly or do more of it . Maria benjamin. It does come from the city, theres a limited amount, its really expensive rental subsidiaries. You know, because theyre on going for as long as a person is living in the unit. And there are theres been work done to review and figure out other Funding Sources for more rental subsidiaries and i dont have anything real to tell you right now about it but we know that theres a need for more longterm rental subsidiaries. Without the laboring, the point i thought that the Tipping Point and some other private sector actors that are doing charitable types of ventures that rent subsidiaries could be or would be parts of their programming, does that make sense . Again if you put it out maybe you will happen and someone is listening. So then, my last, i know you want questions chair bustos. On the western edition list, and the interactive map i thought they were both great items and certainly the interactive map is very creative. So this list of coming soon units in western editions since aa lot of folks said western edition is the place, how is that list comprised. Obviously with the Mayors Office of housing and then secondly, who gets that list . Is it just blasted to everybody . What weve done in the last couple of years and i think you may both have received it is we do a holiday letter. And in the holiday letter, we always add in there because we know what c. O. P. Holders wanted to hear and we list all the units that go on to their website and they have this tool that allows me to determine what units will be coming on in the next year. And we put those units, whether theyre rental or ownership in the a. M. I. Levels for individuals and it goes out to everybody who is 950 on the list. Thank you. Thank you, vicechair. I just want to say thank you so much. Theres such a difference between when i remember back in 2009 when i first joined the commission when it was redevelopment and now even the way you presented it, this really is about Public Service and i truly believe that you have done your best and are continuing to do your best, especially with the steps that you are outlining to maximize success. This is really awesome work that you are doing and even having the investigators, i remember back then when mayor newsome when i worked for them he said go to redevelopment and talk to the executive director about putting in 100,000 to find some investigators to go out and find people so im glad that were using all means necessary to locate people that rightly deserve the opportunity to come back. Please, keep up the incredible work of this Public Service that you are doing. And know that you are actually making a huge impact in the lives of people. So thank you so much. Madam secretary, next item. The next order of business is item 6, Public Comment on non agenda items. We have one speaker card. Oscar. You see me coming up here but as long as they have an agenda im going to be on it. Thank you. Anyway, two things i want to speak on. One, you know, back in the day, we had a Training Program, the ocii was Redevelopment Agency had a Training Program. Larry hollinsworth and i forgot the other person who they were trained for property manager, management, anyway, Larry Hollins worth, he managed the Jackie Robinson and another unit up there on cashmere in hunters point. Can you try and get another Training Program to train some of these people in these projects who want to be Property Managers to manage some of these units that is in there and also, not only do they train them, when i first came back in the 70s, they trained a lot of people like under ms. Dunbar for Property Managers and Different Things dealing with property. But that was a Training Program the Redevelopment Agency had. I think its time for this agency to come up with that type of program again. To train people in the community and wore going to upgrade and help people in the community to process teprosper and be succesn life. We need to have more Training Programs for them. The other thing i brought, i know were not glide as big as glide and thanksgiving, but my church is having a thanksgiving dinner for anyone who dont have a place to go. Thanksgiving, my wife and myself and members in our church are preparing food and im going to claim good cook. My wife also im smoking eight turkeys and shes baking 11 turkeys and were doing ham, were doing everything that grandma used to do for thanksgiving. So, homeless, whoever, dont have any where to come, come to st. Johns, im leaving some flowers for you guys. Come out and participate. Its going to be from 12 00 to 4 00. Like i said, its just a pleasure to be a servant and i know you guys are servants who have done things for our community, various communities and i really like and respect each and every one of you individually and keep up the good work. Thank you, very much. Thank you. Anybody else wishing to speak . Seeing none, im closing Public Comment. Madam secretary, please call the nueces countnext item. Report of the chair. Theres no report. Next order of business is item 8, report of the executive director. Madam director. Thank you. Ill go quick. I do want to note that after the commissions actions and the Candlestick Point amendments in october sorry. [laughter] in october 15th, Planning Commission took action on the item and it was unanimously approved and staff is working with five point to complete the confirming changes to the sub phase application. And i also want to note this is timely that three projects that are undergoing lottery that were issued in october and november one is 106 unit in folsom street with 12, we got 6,900 applications and 12cop holders applied. The next one is another one in mission bay 3 east and lottery was issued in november and its a 56 unit rental housing affordable unit, 6,700 applications and 16cop holders. And theres one that is block one and trance bay lottery issued in november. This month and 156 below market rate Home Ownership units and we had 496 because Home Ownership is limited for one cop holder and ill go through the stages of the application process and so on so this is just the same story about how were getting more applicants and all the various projects participated in the application process. So again, thank you for the team and extensive work. Thank you for all your hard work on this. Madam secretary, please call the next item. The next order of business is item 9, commissions questions and matters. Mr. Chair . Yes, thank you. I know commissioner roll sal hed something to talk about. I wanted to ask the commission to close the meeting today in honor and memory of buck delenthal, chief assistant City Attorney, head of the Government Law division in the City Attorneys office. Who was my boss when i was a member of that team. Who essentially taught me everything that i think i know in the legal profession. I mean, i consider myself an expert in many areas of law. But it was buck who guided me as a very young attorney pretty much right out of law school and he was a head of that department for almost 50 years and the reading of his obituary and also of commentary by the City Attorney, dennisherera. Buck had adviced 10 may ors in his career because they advise the board of supervisors, the mayor and all the other elected officials when i was on his team, he was, i represented the Human Rights Commission and that is where i learned about the minority women local business program. I was handed that assignment by him. Thats followed me my entire career. He was the one who helped defend it, created the Legal Framework for defending it and thats why San Francisco is the head many every city in the country because of his foresight in how to defend that program and how to implement it. I was also the attorney for the Police Commission and the attorney for the rec and Park Commission and all under his guidance and watch and mentorship and he recommended that i take the position as General Council with sfo and City Attorney louise agreed. Beyond his major accomplishments, he was a wonderful, wonderful person and he died very unexpectedly and quickly right before thanksgiving. And his memorial will be on december 3rd, at city hall. Thank you, commissioner rosales for providing that information about mr. Dellenthal and we will adjourn in his memory and honor. As a wonderful Public Servant to this wonderful city. Madam secretary, please call the next item. The next order of business is item 10, closed session, there are no closed session items. The next order of business is item 11, o you adjournment. As we just stated, we will adjourn in memory of mr. Buck dellenthal. May i have a motion. I move. I second it. Moved by vicechair rosales and seconded by dr. Scott. Thank you. We are adjourned. My apartment burned down 1. 5 years ago in noba. My name is leslie mccray, and i am in outside beauty sales. I have lived in this neighborhood since august of this year. After my fire in my apartment and losing everything, the red cross gave us a list of agencies in the city to reach out to and find out about various programs that could help us get back on our feet, and i signed up for the below market rate program, got my certificate, and started applying and won the housing lottery. This particular building was brandnew, and really, this is the one that i wanted out of everything i applied for. And i came to the open house here, and there were literally hundreds of people looking at the building. And i in my mind, i was, like, how am i ever going to possibly win this . And i did. And when you get that notice that you want, its surreal, and you dont really believe it, and then it sinks in, yeah, i can have it, and im finally good to go; i can stay. My favorite thing about my home, although i miss the charm about the old victorian is everything is brandnew. Its beautiful. My kitchen is amazing. Ive really started to enjoy cooking. I really love that we have a gym onsite. I work out four days a week, and its beautiful working outlooking out over the courtyard that i get to look at. It was hard work to get to the other side, but its well worth it. Im super grateful to the Mayors Office of housing for having this for us. Clerk item number 1, call to order. [roll call] clerk we do have a quorum. Let me take the opportunity to those who may be up and running this morning, welcome to the San FranciscoTreasure Island information and development committee, and let me give a shoutout to myeesteemmy esteemed commissioners this morning. Next item, please. [agenda item read]. So please, you dont have to have a card, so you can please come on. Okay. It seems there are no Public Comments. Clerk item number 3, conkent agenda. Proofing the items of the november 5, 2019 meeting. Okay. All in favor . Clerk okay. Item number 4, parks and future events. So Martin Wiggins will give a presentation of the future open spaces. Good morning, chair richardson, members of the committee. For the record, my name is Martin Wiggins, and im presenting on parks events andand programming. I felt the need to start a conversation with the committee on looking forward to park programming and events with an eye to some of the recent events that people are familiar with, so ill run through the presentation and im sure therell be time for discussion and questions. Ill start with events that people are familiar with. The Treasure Island music fe t festival has been here for a few years. In dark pink is the area itself and then staging and parking areas are shown. Its a large event, 10,000 to 12,000 attendees. And then, the duration, while its just kind of a long weekend, theres some set up involved and some takedown. Treasurefest is an event were probably all familiar with, taking place on the west side of the island, 15,000 to 20,000 attendees, and breakdown and set up, and you can see some areas that extend outside of the actual event. And then thirdly, the dragon boat festival. This was a rather large event, 30,000 to 60,000 attendees. It takes up a large amount on the island, and then certainly takes up space in clipper cove, as well. So what weve done for references, overlay those events in terms of the area they take up and also the staging and parking areas and overlaid it over the future parks and open space diagram. And i think the maybe one observation is potentially an inpatibility with a lot of projects. We know there are a lot of active and sports uses plans. We know generally where theyre going to go. Theres passive events, such as in city site park where there is not an active plan but large open spaces. So i think its important to look at the between of those two, what are some events, what are some special events that can occur and where might those occur and just use those as a starting point with a conversation with the committee. So in terms of larger events, ill just run through them. Events greater than 10,000 people, sports do have venues for sports competitions or concert venues. It just shows what could be accommodated in terms of events or potential people attending. 30,000 for the event or 60,000 standing. Comparable to the stern grove festival inside. Events larger than 1,000 people but not up to contemplated to be compensated for in the design thus far, so similar to the yerba buena gardens festival. Smaller events, less than 1,000 people, smaller festivals, art walks. So places you could stage booths, a couple smaller stages, and then several hundred people attending and walking through there. Again, the retail street, city side park, particularly some of the plazas there, and cultural park. Outdoor movie nights, performances, i think, again, cultural park, city side park are places where we could fit up to 1,000 people sitting on blankets with a stage. And then one last group large exercise is that were seeing, so city side park is a place where you could accommodate that, and you could have several hundred participants. So with that, that concludes the presentation. I think its just intended to spur conversation. I expect questions of things that we can look at and come back to. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you very much for your presentation. Make sure that we would like to have a copy of that presentation so we can go back and use that information for subsequent discussions. There are certain items there that we would like to really go back on. I think for the public and people that are hearing this for the first time, we do have an elaborate plan, and i think theyll unroll this in a few months. We are looking at the parks. We are going to have over 300 acres of open space, more than the golden gate park, so we have all the programs that we need to really look at. We are not the only city doing that. We had some models when we visited new york, and we also know we need programming to allow that open space. Not only are we looking at the area, but the things that will allow that. So there, commissioners, if you have any statement now to add after this before i open that to the public for comment. Commissioner . Thank you so much for that report. Im glad that the team is looking at how the spaces that we are going to be created are going to be used and programmed. You know, the parks and the open spaces are one of the reasons why we are even doing a whole 8,000, you know, Unit Development on Treasure Island. Its also its because of the public spaces that were creating thats going to be open to everybody, not just the residents what are on the island, so we have to pay particular tension to how those plans are going to evolve and how those spaces are going to be used, so thank you very much. I think it is the first time ive heard about the detailed spaces that are going to be at Treasure Island and how they will be used. And i think that its great that theres all these Different Levels of spaces. Theres wide open spaces such as along the waterfront park, theres small spaces that can be used for more intimate events, and im glad that youre exploring how those different spaces will be used and programmed. I think incomeproducing, you know, looking at the spaces, how they can produce income to fund the operations and maintenance of those parks, is extremely important. I think thats something which oftentimes is neglected at the front end of how those spaces can be used and provide income for the continuing plaoperatiof the park. And i think lots of parks around the country are starting to realize that they start tapped into the potential of those public places, and how can they make them more vibrant, how can they make them more active. One of the questions that i have is in looking at the various concerts and music festivals, for example, one thing they missed in salesforce park, which is one of the most recent parks opened in San Francisco, is they looked at things such as music to be performed, but they didnt allow the back for those performances for real concerts to be done, and that seems to be such a glaring example of, you know, not planning ahead of time and not bringing in people who have that expertise so that we can expert be able to use those spaces as we planned, can you tell me a little bit that and what are the practicalities of having musicals as an example . Yes. So in locations where those sort of events have been contemplated, cultural park and city side park to name two that are in development, when the parks were in Schematic Design and as the designs have developed, the teams have retained a subconsultant that specializes in park programming and operations to help advise on what infrastructure is necessary to support those events. And so dedicated electrical circuits that are at a higher amperage than normal that would allow them to pull more power. The idea that theres a certain drivable route in and out of the park to haul trash or to load equipment in and out down to the vehicular turning radius for the type of truck that would be used, those have been baked into the design thus far. So i think there has been consideration given to allow some of those things to occur. I still think flexibility of the parks will remain paramount and even with those pieces of infrastructure in place, i anticipate we may find ourselves using the park and bringing in temporary temporary rest rooms, temporary generators, but the park certainly allows, you know, when were planning to do a certain event, allows for that to occur with the infrastructure thats planned. Great. Wonderful. And then, what about the maybe havent gone to this level of programming yet, but the opportune piece for small entrepreneurs to have a cart or to have a bicycle rental business. Has there been some thinking as to those Small Businesses that could, you know, put up temporary or popup types of situations . Operationally, i dont know that theres been a lot of thought to that level yet. I think broadly, those are all would be very positive things in the parks, and i dont think theres been anything done to preclude it, but i think its something that should be discussed more. I also think that some of those events or some of those uses are are able to be brought in in places. You find them popping up in places that havent planned for them. They pop up, and so theyre efficient in that way and creative in the ways that they can go into a lot of spaces, even if they werent planned. But i think they would be positive additions, especially early on, so i think its something we can talk more about. Okay. Well, great. I think its great that youre examining the different uses, and i look forward to hearing more as the team progresses further towards final design, yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Commissioner sharon lei . Its interesting that youre thinking of the turn radius and how to get equipment on and off the island. I think thats one of the first things that came into my mind is how would setup and breakdown of events occur . Because hopefully, in the future, the occupancy would be different. I think one thing that jumped out at me when you provided the larger venues for the larger events, it seems like the larger gatherings of those more than 10,000 people are more than in the inland areas of the island, which my recollection is its all residential there . So thinking about what it would be like to have those large types of gathering that far into, like, the residential neighborhoods. And perhaps its not any different, like stern grove and whatnot, except stern grove is a little buffering and has some landscape around it, so maybe you can talk about how those uses would be comparable with the neighbors . I think most of the island is will be residential, and so i think it plans those events needs to be done with care, thought, consideration and forward thinking about how it would work. Really, the only areas where you wouldnt be next to neighbors would be in the Island Center between clipper cove and california. Equilibri coincidentally, thats where you have the least room and limit the open space around them. Until we do them out in the wild, we would globally need to be careful in considering the timing of the events, how they late they run. I think thats the outside concerns that pop up, for stern grove and day events. I cant say weve done a lot of specific planning on mitigation for that, but i would agree its something when we look more into the operational specifics of those events, they would have to be considered by necessity because theres neighbors on the island. And then just wondering because you showed some revenue numbers from past events. Just wondering, how does that compare to costs for, you know, for tida to be managing the security or providing any keep of support. Yeah. I think in the past, a lot of the events have been marketed or agreed to almost as a way of keeping Treasure Island in the public compass, and i think we would be more aggressive on pricing in the future, but parking lots used occasionally to support an event could produce more significant revenue if they were rented out to a staging or a storage yard. So its really been more about creating a Public Awareness of Treasure Island than it has been creating a revenue stream. And thats what im talking about, is fostering events on Treasure Island that are more unique to us. But i would be going towards more the costs associated running the events should be higher just because theres more parking Traffic Management we would have to implement, just offering or operating around the fringes of the event, just because naturally theres going to be more conflicts and more uses that we have on the island. Just as a suggestion, as you continue to think of the type of events, do think of events that perhaps utilize the full range of the islands offerings, including, you know, you mentioned some sporting events that are very localized, but perhaps think about island type of events, races. We do have a very unique setting where we have great biking trails, walking, access to water. Sounds like theres a lot of collaboration that can be done with existing events in San Francisco or some unique ones on Treasure Island. Thank you. Thank you. So i have some questions. San francisco, historically, they were built, and then, we tear down the infrastructure. Its different. So right now, were building the infrastructure from scratch, and thats why its so important that at this level, this stage, that we provide some provisions to be able to have the Electrical Systems on the ground or cabling or whatever, even as were making all the decisions to think about what kind of events go to different spaces. Thats very important. If we build infrastructure and then have to think about something later, theres a lot that we can anticipate. I think every resident in terms of Treasure Island understands that this is going to be a point of destination, and there are models not only in the bay area and even within San Francisco, as commissioner lei said the stern grove. Theyre buffered by residential areas. As youre planning events there, theyre doable. They could be done. It just depends on the kind of hours and the amenities. But again, Treasure Island would have to compete with the chase stadium and all these other venues in San Francisco that are emerging now. So when we get to the level of detail, im sure we will delve into the kind of revenue, because they have to be revenue driven. They support the parks, and all the residential areas and the infrastructure that we bring around. And i also envision that all those events will have their own liability. They might even be asked to provide security and just like in all the events here in San Francisco. So this is great. Let me open the discussion now. Are there any questions from audience members, please . Okay, seeing none, thank you, sir, for your presentation. Wed like to see you again. Clerk item number 5, Pacific Basin fountain. So like to invite the Treasure Island museum to give an update on conservation and preservation study that theyve done on the pacific fountain terra cotta that belongs to tida. Good evening. Im ann scheinman, and im happy to be one of the five to presentation you the update on the fountain. Im going to be talking about the fountain sort of through history. Im Vice President and historian at the Treasure Island museum. Where is can i use that . Okay. Visionaries who dreamed up the Golden Gate International exposition of 1939 and 40 chose irreleva inspiration as the theme. Fair publicists called San Francisco the metropolis of the pai pacific. This brochure lists some of the countries that were secured as participants. This building was Pacific House, designed by architect william merchant. A group of citizens and an International Organization called the institute of pacific relations didnt want the theme of pacific unity to be an empty slogan. Pacific house provided substantive and educational cultures for the purpose of promoting world peace. Maps for the central feature of Pacific House. The enormous and beautiful blue oval of the pacific fountain was the first things visitors saw when they arrived. Its shimmering blue basin was the size of a back yard swimming pool. The very cartography of these maps was unique. Pacific house notes that conventional noted that conventional world maps features the atlantic at the center with featured the atlantic at the center with the pacific relegated to the margins, literally marginalized, emphasizing americas relationship with europe. A u. C. Cartographer drafted a new map projection with the pacific at the center. Antonio bolivar, a talented San Francisco architect, worked on this project for six months. Took a long time to make. The founders of Pacific House had long range plans and the fountains was facilitated in sections to allow moving it after the fair. Very important point. In this cartoon by sotomayor, the child seems to be enjoying the fountains. Hes leaning over the rim of the fountain, looking at the map. Enormous Pacific House maps were also created by mexican artist miguel covarrobias. This is from a little booklet that sotomayor made. Thats sotomayor on the left and covarrubias on the right. And just to put sotomayor in the context of art, on the left is lucien laboe, sotomayor, and other people involved in the art in the fair in 1939 and 1940. The fair ended in 1940. The navy moved onto Treasure Island, demolished Pacific House and relocated the fountain to a remote area of the island. Unfortunately, the navy also cemented the pieces together. It removed there for almost 50 years, where it was a source of enjoyment to people on the island. When the navy aunited statnnou 80s that it had other plans for the location, the navy and the island moved it to museum in district one. During this, sotomayor passed away. He died believing that the fountain was under restoration. In his obituary, the paper called him San Franciscos novel laureate. This was the last photograph taken of the fountain before it was dismantled. Engineers determined rather than moving it in one place, the fountain would have to be cut along mortared joints. Tida is the steward owner and caretaker of both the
