Andreas connection and we support puc management in this proposal. We do think there are opportunities for reasonable access and making sure that were providing the connectivity to public open space. Thank you. Thank you very much. And mr. Lef itd thank you. I think we have supervisor pine up next if mr. Pine is here. Supervisor pine welcome. Thank you. Good afternoon supervisor. My name is dave pine. Im the supervisor representing district 1 which includes many communities that abut the sf puc lands and supervisor wiener i am no longer the president. We have a rotation system in San Mateo County so i am back to a secondary seat. I have lived in San Mateo County for 30 years now and my first exposure to this watershed lands was a few years ago when my son went on a cub scout tour in this area and somehow ranged special permission and it is spectacular. I urge you to get out there if you havent. Its an incredible resource and one that i strongly believe that the public should have extra
Should be commended for that and we hope the pressures to go away from that could be released. We will now get more involved in this. We havent been involved up to this point. Its our intention to do so in the future because theres a lot here to be saved. Thank you. Thank you very much. Next speaker please. My name is ray hosher and a former bicycle columnists for the San Francisco chronicle and author of bay area bike roads. I have been writing about the area in discussion for 30 plus years and its given me a lot of inspiration. I wrote this magazine adventure rides in santa cruz mountains, and its something that i think we need to think about for opening up all space possible. Theres a concept called freedom to roam. If you look it up in wikipedia there is a lot of discussion about it and it says we want to give access to everything, all land as much as possible and i think thats the way it should go. Consider the marin marin municipal water district. They allow extensive recreation.
Years, probably a majority of San Francisco residents have no idea that these projects exist so i think that is something we should keep in mind Going Forward and let me say hopefully i think the switch from the dosen lead program to the permit system is especially important. By all accounts the tours are great but i will say if youre a San Francisco resident that doesnt own a car its nearly impossible to take advantage of the tours. They all begin at the southern end of the trail, the farthest side from San Francisco on highway 92 and those without cars and this will allow us to treasure the resource and take care of it. Thank you. Thank you very much. Next speaker. Hello. I am jason beck and part of the a group of Mountain Bike enthusiasts and i want to say personally thank you to the supervisors for moving this forward and thank you to the puc. I guess i want to focus on what an amazing opportunity we have here. Were blessed to live where we are. Were blessed to have these opportuni
Supervisor wiener i am no longer the president. We have a rotation system in San Mateo County so i am back to a secondary seat. I have lived in San Mateo County for 30 years now and my first exposure to this watershed lands was a few years ago when my son went on a cub scout tour in this area and somehow ranged special permission and it is spectacular. I urge you to get out there if you havent. Its an incredible resource and one that i strongly believe that the public should have extra access to and thats what brings me here today is that there is a real shortage of open space in the northern part of San Mateo County. When you go south of 92 you have the Midpeninsula Open Space land, a lot of county parks, and of course the coast side has tremendous opportunities for Outdoor Activities including the San Pedro Valley park which we operate and the referenced [inaudible]. But when you get to the north county there arent as many opportunities and this area really is one of the most densest
Doing enough. Given the grv ty of the situation. They reflect that we are in a stage of drought that is worse than the stage 4 that we have even planned for. We are saying tell we are in a critically dry stage but go ahead and play in your swimming pool. Play in the swimming pool. Board also nbingted several other measures. They include immediately turning on the pump at free port to. Begin purchasing Emergency Water from the sacramento river. And enact mandatory cons vision of 20 percent efpl. No way anybody i dont think l can not know that we are not in a drought. Unless they are completely clueless. Reporter board also began the process to enact ordinance that would penaltyize water thieves and chronic wasters.
