Specialty gardens and coit tower, as well as the japanese teagarden. Weve been consistent in voicing our support at the r. P. D. Commission as well as the Commission Meeting on may 16. We believe adult nonresidents, flexible pricing will allow for more manageable traffic flow within the sites and in the surrounding neighborhoods. It also encourages attendance at nonpeak times that will result in a richer experience for all people who attend because there will be less congestion. We support the fee increase at japanese teagarden, the japanese teagarden is one of our historic gems and residents and visitors alike walk away stating that constantly. We fiscally sponsor two of the specialty gardens, japanese and the conservatory of flowers. The japanese teagarden is dedicated to raising funds for this renovation. We also feel flexible pricing and the maintenance fee will have long range effects and benefit the people that visit them. Thank you. Supervisor fewer thank you very much. Next spe
Because the controversy of the day is the notion that the bureaucracy and the input is slowing down the building. I wanted to say for the record, what is slowing it down is not community input. Everybody saluted the fact that neighborhood input made to the project back better. It is the lack of actual funding that is why i am affixing my name to this measure today because 600 million, over half a billion dollars of the public s money that we will all pay for it, that we will all work to get past this november, that is where the rubber hits the road, that is where we actually build Affordable Housing. And given that it takes a long time to raise those funds, we have time to have Good Community process and Good Community input , so lets not wreck what makes projects better and lets fund what builds these projects. Thank you. Supervisor walton . Thank you. I just want to add my excitement about the bond and i want to thank president yee for working so closely with the mayors office, but a

Extraordinary. We are not simply dependent on the staff that work here, they are the engine that get it done. Why . It is more than the fact they get paid and get a pension. The culture they want be to work here, this is a productive and nice play to work. That is an environmental issue we hold the director responsible for. That is one of the objectives. It is more than just developing people. It is developing people in order to do what . It is beyond the issue of the mission statement. I am sorry i dont have words for it. This is a living document maybe in the next couple months we will come back and capture that. That would be the context to understand the different recommendations about who we hireds, plans, restructuring, provide Better Services to the members. Good okay. Motion made and seconded. I will call for public comment. I agree with you. The culture is very, very good. It would be better if our Pension Funds bought a San Francisco Office Building for them to work in. Not o
