Park and rec in this plan, i frankly have more faith elsewhere than the soma plan. The rec center has not had hand towels since may. So there are issues when we talk about renovating the rec center and creating parks, what it means for now . How can we creep eight new when we dont take care of what we have . And i feel theres disproportionate investment in structures, not people. There are people in crisis that need the support and putting it into a building or a set of activities doesnt meet the need where it is. I dont want my kids to have to see that on the way to school. Its a huge issue that we hope can be taken as a whole and not just within that footprint. Thank you. Seeing no further comments on item number 3, i request that we close Public Comment. Public comment is closed. I want to thank all of the staff and members of the public and supervisor kim and her staff for the long road its taken to get to here.

The committee will come to order. Without objection, chairs authorized to declare a recess at any time. Secretary ross is with us, hell be joining us momentarily.
