Commitment to running resurfacing it be great if we could get a list of the courts that are being planned on being resurfaced just to see how its been distributed throughout the city. Sure. My next question or request was more about activation of our fields. I know im going to speak for very district oriented perspective as im sure the other supervisors in may. Im glad to see more activation of the [inaudible] park and i want to thank you for your hardship in our office of propping is activating this new park. Does never club site on house but obviously, kitty corner has a rec center. It would be great to work with your office to figure out how we can utilize that baseball field even more so it can be more utilize on the weekends and evenings im not sure how to do that but just more planned activities that we have in the park. [inaudible off mic] siri found it. It would be great to be able to work with your office on that and i did not realize there was such a decrease in gross participation in baseball really appreciate rpds connecting to that point. To that end, we are overwhelmed with youth sports in our field capacity doesntcant keep up with demand. I think i would probably need to go back into a deeper dive to understand how dmd in particular is being used. I know for example, there is a sf Youth Baseball Team out of you pay, i believe. You and i have spoken about that and jean friend that is right that we do kind of when we can to minimize transportation barriers assign fields closest to where the neighborhood is coming from. This is a blend thatll be really welcome the chance to work with you. We dont have staff to Program Every neighborhood where streak when its not going to happen to what we try to do is use Community Partners and use organized sports to keep our particularly athletic spaces, programs. You been a great supporter. Of organized sports that sense around the batting cages can be what it should be which is a ballfield. Does not mean offers dog park means a ballfield. Those things dont mix so well. We welcome other opportunities. I think theres also conversation to be had as you and i have also discussed about maintaining open time and access for our community and neighborhood to access space versus having permitted or program. There is a balance. Both are right approaches. No. I want to be sensitive because we all read about what happened in the mission and soccer fields. So its hard for me to say, well this isnt a program. It be great to see more on that field. Its a goodim glad you brought up that point because it is true. We want to make sure theres that balance between communitys that dont often access a rental system and that do. Rental permit. Its just a what it is, a reservation but its for a particularly structured activity versus unstructured activities. Those are different things. There spaces we do event spaces that we do rent, but a baseball game my need to reserve the space because those teams that show up need to be able to count on the field. So thats a permitting process . s bs. Thats the balance. Im excited to hear, we were together and figure out strategies to activate [inaudible] more. The amazing part. I think its more important in the neighborhood. That combined with some of the plan improvements to add capacity jean friend create an amazing recreation and open space help right in the heart of some i just want to commend your partnership with public works on the pitstops. Its been hugely successful. Very sad to see marcus i think this was his last week. The neighbors already in love with him and our park is getting more utilized. By families and children because he is there on site. I know this is a tough discussion point but i do think its important to have disposal boxes at parks but not to encourage people to use, just so theres a safe disposal site, and i hate getting reports that kids are seeing it in the playground. Of course, what the activity and behavior to end but i just think having a safe disposal box will help at least that hurt some of those needles into an appropriate location. Its a vexing issue in a vexing policy discussion. You should know were not just sort of deftly ignoring the idea. Weve had conversations with Public Health about it. For us, its a simple metric. Does it result in examples ivan i hate focusing on this because this is a small piece of the reality in our park systembut does it result in having this employee safety issue as well. So does it result in fewer needles in our parks on the grounds whether playground or grass or whatever. That is one bit of analysis. That i think needs to be a little more thoroughly tested and vetted maybe with a pilot or two or something, but the other side of that coin is does it result in more unhealthy activity happening in the park. Those are the right. Does it attract the behavior because the disposal boxes there . s bs we have piloted safe needle disposal box in any of our parks . No. Not in an authorized way. Theres been unauthorized pilots. Okay. So we dont have a way of understanding whetherhe was weeping in some conversation with Public Health about figuring out an appropriate way to test that. That would be great. Im sure Public Health and public works has data because all our pitstops with the exception of this one to have the needle disposal box. [inaudible]s bs theyre different. I want to distinguish that and im curious whether in their data they demonstrates that theres increased activity because of the boxes being on the corners, or if it does actually help if it creates a cleaner safer and more in joyous park then that is good. If it does not then thats bad and not conducive with the mission by the wway im agree with you im of the opinion that it may reduce the number of needles we see in the park but you are right, i dont have the data to prove that and so it would be like a department of Public Health or works to actually understand what the facts are. So it would be great to get to some type of conclusion and if the data shows that it attracts the behavior increases the number of needles outside of the box ill support your position but if we were to get that information. Thank you. Thank you. Supervisor sheehy, i believe you are next. Thank you. Thanks for that great presentation. I have a few questions. One is, we are seen where a lot of trash gets generated. Dolores park around [inaudible] and really, the summer weekend events, which im sure you are aware we both probably get blown up over that. The recent weekend the first weekend of the summer. So ive a couple of questions around that. How will your budget include sufficient funds to handle this . Then the other question is about coordination with ecology, may be dpw because for composting and recycling and getting the trash out but also from the surrounding neighborhoods because theres a lot of those kinds of spills out and the neighbors feel very confident this is can be an ongoing issue for the rest of the summer into the fall. So weve often said that the worst part gets love to death and we invest 2539 and created an Amazing Design that people love it even more. This probably consumes a higher amount of staff than energy and frankly, resources by myself than any other almost any other single challenge, which is how do we inspire better behavior at the laurus. From a resource perspective, i dont have precise specifics. I do know our parks are not budgeted apart by park. There budgeted in park service areas. Which overlaptheyre not precisely based on supervisors old district lines. Our parks are where they are so theres a little bit of a blend but dolores is getting very disproportionate share of the Park Services area, resources, we have added dollars for extra porter parties and things during the summer. Are ecology built there is higher there than almost anyplace else and frankly, we bring more staff both on the part main inside to dolores and that we have a Community Campaign called love dolores, were we have interns, some are paid some are unpaid, out there as you know you been out there every weekend with an umbrella spreading the love dolores. We are trying everything we can. At the end of the day, we need people to behave better out there. Packing in and packing out. To the grade, we are diverting are you a remarkable amount of compostable and recyclable waste because we havewe work with ecology on the ecopopup which is there during the weekends not just the summer but the spring spring through the fall the shoulder [inaudible] every time you can bring your compostables and theres a place to put them right there on dolores street theres a place to put your recycling, and so we are seeing less trash into landfill, which is good, but a lot of people just are not doing it and theyre leaving it. A lot of people ask but when i trash cans in the middle of the party becomes getting that amount of waste in and out is actually veryis pretty challenging and there is data to show that trash cans invite more trash and more dumping and more litter. We are asking people to actually have the trash cans in the ecopopup all around the perimeter regardless on a busy weekend day its another six 7000 worth of overtime in additional staff costs in cleaning up. We do talk to reecology quite a bit and reecology has increased its garbage barrel with us pretty significantly during the summer you will see their bear three having four times a day enter emptying trash bins and doing a variety things to manage the problem we will not solve the central people stop treating the park like one gigantic garbage basket. They have to pick up their own trash. This is not a complicated problem in there something that is unique about that park and maybe some of the parting happens but i cant quite figure it out its not everybody, but too many people come to the park and just leave it. My staff worked so hard out there the weekends are brutal for them the truth of the matter is, the next morning its always clean. But its a hard one. Have we thought about finding people . Its an interesting issue. Public works has bar mental resource officers. Are park rangers do have citations. I need to go back and look, whether weve issued citations for littering. We do a lot of education and a lot of warning im not sure how often we are actually finding people and maybe that is something after a warning that we might want to consider doing. Yes. I mean those are my voters. But actually, theyre not. The dolores park they may not be. Dolores park is a destination your people coming from all over the bay area to hang out in dolores park. Big chunkof dolores park are your neighbors and voters, but people can come from all over to be in dolores park. But i do wonder if there is no consequences, sometimes we need something. At the last couple of years weve been trying to put on pressure and a little bit of community shaming. We will see how that continues to go. Might want to consider fines. Thank you plus, i would give you some cost recovery. About equipment purchasing, i learn your department is some purchasing is delayed because of the thresholds have not been raised. Like gardeners have shared devices like aerators [inaudible] have increased in price. So in the past, you would buy these immediately and now the process is a more lot more complex. So i know were working with legislation on this topic so thank you for sharing your thoughts. Thank you for having an interest in this rather wonky one. Its really important to our gardeners perform a little miracle every day. The things that really kind of try them nuts are the inability to actually procure the tools and supplies they need to do the job. Some of these tools and slice got more expensive and i am not a purchasing expert, but i believe there is a 5000 thresholdthat has become really cumbersome for maintenance staff to operate on a i dont know the expense of other city departments, but it makes our procurement after 5000, theres a different process for procurement and it causes delays and a lot of aggravation for gardeners. Thank you. Lastly, we have the eir bill on natural areas and theres two things have an interest in. One, i did want to inquire about additional staffing for natural areas. Because now we have all the space i think maintenance is going to be more complex. Then the other was to look at Environmental Management use of pesticides. I just was hoping we could prepare to discuss these items during the june 1 budget meeting. Absolutely. Thank you a much supervisor sheehy. Dir. Ginsburg, i appreciate the update.
