Laid where we need to go and stating the problems of which there will be many. I have to stress the quality of this foundation. The city should have a staff biologist. We have a large constituency as athletic field, playgrounds, and swimming pools, but it is not organized and consequently is inarticulate and suffers at budget times. The most insects and our greatest biodiversity lies in our grasslands, but they are declining due to inadequate staffing. By far the greatest wildlife support is provided by locally native plants because they evolve together, but few of them can be found in nurseries. We need a large nursery to propagate the individual plants. Brett park has a nursery and it should be fostered for the whole city. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Hello. Thank you very much, supervisors, for your actions to improve the biodiversity throughout the city. I am a board member of the sutro stewards and i can see how effective it has been to have a collaboration among the many inte

Spaces. Its a lot easier to clean concrete, maybe, but at the end we end up with a much warmer and lesshuman, lessenvironmentally connected city. So we want to work through that. We already talked about the actual local and native plant supply. The last one staffing and resources really focused on collaboration. We really in a lot of our work, we want to really acknowledge and build into our work plans that collaboration costs money and not lose sight of that. Finally, our next steps, we are going to be working very specifically on applying the social equity lens to our work plans for the next couple of years. Were also going to be interfacing with stakeholders, including other departments and any other stakeholders that you might recommend about these key initiatives, ways they can be successful and other ideas. One of the great things from your resolution and it set us up in this practical way as we head into our own work plans to be integrating this work and looking to solve for the

System. Good morning, everyone. My name is winnie stack lburg, and im the executive Vice President of external affairs at the center for American Progress, and i want to thank each and every one of you for joining this very important event. Were here to discuss a fundamental issue, which strikes at the heart of our democratic values. If we truly believe that all americans deserve equal treatment in the eyes of the law, then we must ensure that our legal decisions are made by judges with backgrounds and perspectives that represent the experiences of all americans. Study after study has shown that Diverse Groups solve problems in a more thoughtful and innovative way and arrive at more efficient and effective decisions and solutions. So it comes as no surprise that diversity among our federal judges in terms of their race and ethnicity, their gender, their Sexual Orientation, their gender identity, their religious affiliation and their professional background helps produce a stronger just
