That is the conclusion of my recognition. We have this month in parks, we have a special video that may or may not have seen. It is our annual report. 2017. In retrospect. [ ] its been another amazing year for us at the San Francisco rec and park with 220 parks, 4,000 acres of open space, we have one of the most special parks in the entire country, but what makes our park system so special are all of you. The people who use the parks every day. Who participate in your recreation programs, who volunteer, who advocate, and who work in our parks. Our accomplishments are your accomplishments.

Monitoring. This illustrates how we are keeping track of money in and out over the known acquisitions in the future. Thats a quick summary of our Acquisition Policy.

President buell thank you very much. Secretary i have Public Comment on this. Jane wild, please. Public thank you commissioners. Jane wild, prozac district six. I will add that this jordans presentation was made last week and we all congratulated her on the most succinct and understandable presentation of the policy we had ever had. I just want to admire her work on that. I live on mission between seventh and eighth in the heart of midmarket in the tenderloin, which on the maps i dont know if we can bring the map back.

We planned for parks of the future. We make our parks safer and cleaner. We celebrated our history and culture. We promoted active living for the diverse and growing population.

One is difficult with even animals. Why would an animal be in solitary there. I thought perhaps we could have another crane or others to accompany such animals. And the fish that were put in there, the koi fish, theyre doing good, keeping the bottom clean, but theyre prolific breeders, so i dont know which animals are attracted to getting the small fish, but thats part of that wildlife to it. Thats the food chain. Sometimes if you see the crane there, it doesnt even look like its alive, so i thought maybe you had another one there. Hopefully, i can get that from the zoo, where they find another matching crane. But i also heard from the director of operations it doesnt want them breeding, so you got to have the same gender. President buell thank you. Secretary anyone else who would like to make Public Comment under the zoo item . Being none, this item is closed. This was discussion only. Were on item 8, the joseph l. Alioto piazza, approval of a temporary art installation. Good morning,
Im 111 years of bipartisan land conservation, which began with president roosevelts leadership. The most glaring example is an ongoing attack on the Antiquities Act in general and the National Monument in particular. Trying to roll back as a taxpayer weight especially at a time when the administration is proposing significant staff cutbacks. In my opinion, another management designation is that they are seers Intertribal Coalition inspectors working to protect these lands. I believe any action by the administration to undermine protection for any other National Monument is illegal and i will strongly oppose any legislative attempt to weaken this monument status. Secretary zinke, the administration also attempting to unilaterally rule that has gone into effect on the blm mapping rule. The department now statistically dubious decision to suspend the methane waste prevention rule. This is a commonsense rule that implements in 97yearold requirement to prevent waste of federal natural gas.
