Allocated to urban agriculture. So, that identified that these departments were playing a leadership role. The second recommendation, the one that im here to speak a little bit more on key tail on, is that the rec and Park Department should be the lead agency for the urban ag program. And finally, that San Franciscos public spending on urban ag is significant and should be used to leverage new private investment. Were really excited to have someone on board who can help us look for private funding to leverage this position and i also want to emphasize that were hoping that this addition would be a permanent part of the city budget so that rather than it be a temporary thing obviously based on the success of the position, that this role would continue for the foreseeable future. So, just briefly, in the process during the Strategic Planning process during the fall, the rec and Park Department was asked to put together sort of presentation for substantiating why would the department want

But we want to include the retail as well. We then drive the activity into the community and it benefits all, creating it. 19,000 do not have kitchens and which means that these people have no ability, relatively to little or no ability to actually store the food in the fridge and prepare the food in any way, except in a hot plate or a mike wave and that limits the option to prepare the food and they are certainly more expensive or putting more increased demand on the dining room.

Eli. Thank you, supervisors. My name is eli zegas, im the [speaker not understood] program man erupt at spur. And im here in support of the resolution. As the recreation and Parks Department pointed out in their presentation, we feel that the department has a number of strengths that makes sense for the program to be housed there and were also encouraged by what youve heard, that the department sees the program as supplementing and coordinating among agencies and also serving all types of urban ag

Please note that the location this is lake merced boulevard, this is winston drive. San Francisco State has campus is divided by one moment, mr. Kwong. Can we please close that door back there . Thank you. As you can see why dont we just wait for people exiting. Okay, go ahead. Thank you. As noted, this is lake merced boulevard. This is winston drive, san Francisco State has portions of this campus divided by winston boulevard. One of the issues is they want to interconnect these two portions of the campus on both sides. The distance from the intersection at lake merced boulevard to the approximate location is approximately 350 feet or so. So, whats been happening is obviously students and other people that use san Francisco State would jay walk across winston drive with san Francisco State being determined that is not the
