Organizations on the ground doing great work in the neighborhood. I mentioned at our october 23 hearing that it may be potent l potentially possible to fund this work through our Community Facilities district. We need to explore the legal and policy ramifications, but the potential to do such things extends the program to the plan is personally very exciting. The second item is the need to increase Operation Maintenance parks and facilities, as well as rec park and others to identify the Funding Sources. The third is a need for neighborhood cleaning services, which identified to us from supervisor kims office. And well talk about prevailing wages. Weve been in conovversation wi organized labor on this and one option comes through the newly signed legislation of the state ab73, which allows cities to create sustainability districts if theyre paid for the construction work. We dont really fully understand that and will continue to work with people to see if its a viable option. That conc
Compliment you on your staff work, im going to do the same with regard to the giants here today. We had, as jack has noted, a very Good Relationship with them that began at the ballpark and is moving across the creek. The the ive always viewed this particular project as a commission that began with mission bay. This is when willie cut the deals back in 2003 to get that project to move forward. This is plot of land that functioned under different requirements and restrictions as you are well aware and those required a different sort of work that your staff has put in to overcome. I think in some ways it will represent an improvement as well as a completion upon what has gone before it in mission bay. And we look forward to it going forward. Thank you. Thank you, mike.

For me its been difficult because he was not only a boss but a close friend of mine, but more importantly he was a champion of this project. When i joined the board there were a lot of financial needs and concerns and trying to make sure that we got the project to the way that it is now and we were able to finish it and through his leadership, really stepped up and did everything on behalf of the city. To make sure that the city could do its part. Of recent, i mean, weve had closed discussions about the asidelinement and what should alignment and what would happen with phase two and i think that we should take a moment of silence to mourn him. Thank you. Clerk well move into the next item on the agenda. Board of directors new business. Seeing none, next item is item 5, the executive directors report.

Concerned that the proposed highrise plan undermines the goal of the walkability and communitycentric charact characteristics of our neighborhoods. It will intensify high wind patterns and creep eight an unwelcome pedestrian experience. Weve already lost an enormous amount of light due to the linkedin building. A neighborhood was designed to enhance proximity to the bay and light reflecting off the water. Increasing all the density will overstress and overcrowd our few green spaces, such as south park, which may not only be cast into shadow, but also damaged and filled with litter by day use by people who have no interest more than eating their lunch and smoking a cigarette. Our neighborhood is already stressed with high traffic. It includes many highways and exit ramps and a huge conference center. I applaud the effort to make the sidewalks more pedestrianfriendly, the Planning Commission must balance these efforts during baseball season and everyday commuter rush hour. Thank you. Im
Service was very much a part of the discussion with supervisor safai and the new Tenant Assistance Fund for hazardous housing. This involves places like what happened on 5 persia, a year ago, a number of people were living in terrible conditions under a laundry and we are, when we have these emergency orders to vacate that are issued either by the Fire Department or ourselves, we are trying to, the supervisors are trying to establish a fund that would be able to provide ongoing tenant assistance for up to a twoyear period. As this did pass through committee, it had the first unanimous, before the last meeting on december 12th, it will probably pass when the board resumes business in january.
