Again they have been very stable. The changes since the last year are fairly small. And over the time you can see that the department is has really different focus to the area s where there is high use, the gardens, restrooms, athletic fields have improved. There are low use areas, wider in acreage and harder to maintain, but also, it reflects the park evaluation process itself. And something that were working on. The open space is only graded on a single score. And as a result, it can vary in its score greatly from evaluator to evaluator and from time to time this. Kind of oscillation is part of what happens in a park evaluation. Partly its due to the season in which an evaluator goes out. When we have more people in the parks its harder to keep up with them and when an evaluator goes out, they could arrive before maintenance has occurred and those things will change the nature of the score. We consider this always a snapshot evaluation. So these rankings are ways to average together
What is a true quality of life issue for san franciscans. We need a bigger part of the general fund budget. We need to make sure that even though we have scholarships and ways for poor children, that is not good enough. We need to roll back the fees and we need the kind of environment that children grew up in San Francisco, that free access to public parks and that amazing system that we all came to know. There is no reason that we cant do that again, but it takes commitment and other Funding Options and may require reprioritizing our citys needs and parks are things that do help with public safety, Mental Illness and all kinds of other woes that end up in the city budget that we have to address. So i want to support that all our citizens have free access to our parks, and as many opportunities as we can possibly give them. Im going to send these comments to the mayor and lobbying the board of supervisors to get a bigger piece of the city budget for our parks. Thank you. Thank you. Don
