Just really just want to say that i think around equity that it comes down to a fundamental belief in what we believe, not just about parks but what we believe about people and what do we believe about segments of our population. I agree. Supervisor fewer when we do equity work thats what were really getting at, its about who we are, and who we are as people and what do we fundamentally believe and for some of us it is a paradigm shift, for some of us but if we dont have also people teaching us we wont know. And as a chinese woman and College Educated in this position, i have a huge privilege. I think that i would not other than how i am serving sort of my population and in my district if there werent if there wasnt a way to specifically outreach to that population how well am i serving you and to hear from them about how well so i get that its hard to get data and i get all that, i just think that it is really important to capture as much data as possible and im just im just going to
1,000 staff and that was respect, resilience, and we never know what is coming at us and the environment changes need change and relationships, responsiveness and results. So that is a very important part of our Strategic Plan. And now diving a little deeper, in part because, well, in large part because of the passage of proposition b in 201 2015 whiche really, you know, appreciate the support of most of our elected officials and it created a general fund baseline for us that really stabalized our funding. Thank you, supervisor peskin, for acknowledging the joke. It created a baseline. And that is really important to us because we are in the business of not just responding to the crisis of the day or the political need of the day, but we do need to engage in medium and longterm planning and having my first five, six seven years my first i would say five years on the job was really responding to the financial crisis of the day. And we are very Emergency Response driven. And because of p
Lake and this is the entry way of Golden Gate Park and we invested money into doing a study at lincoln and ninth so that we can look at making that entryway to Golden Gate Park which is heavily used by so many folks all over the city and we want to make that definitely more safe and we also want to make it a nice entryway and look at signage and ways in which we could improve the experience and the ease of getting around in Golden Gate Park. So thats a whole other conversation. But ultimately, i think that just dialing it down a little bit, the bigger vision of making the changes, and the peace plaza which we talked about and doing work there which is a great Tourist Destination and is in need of repair. But dialing it back just a little bit and i want to talk a bit about equity and talk about access. And i just remember, again, i keep going back to my childhood because when we were growing up the park was right across the street, hayward playground, and wed walk to the park and we cou
I dont remember that one. Supervisor kim mr. Frey. My ris recollection is only e waller Street Project is the only one with a 10year limitation. Supervisor kim okay. And that was actually a significant reduction, at 59 in terms of their property assessed value. Okay. These two projects are slightly lower in their reduction rate. For me on a level of consistency i would move both of those items forward with the 10year limit and that would be my recommendation to have the Property Owners come back again to explain additional costs or rehabilitation at that time. So that will be the amendment that i will be making on these two on these two items. So before we take a motion to do that, were going to open up these two items for Public Comment . Any members of the public that would like to speak on items 4 and 5 . PackagPublic Comment is now clo. Colleagues on item 4 and 5, can we take a motion to move those forward with recommendation, amending it with a 10year term for the mills act exempt
There were several points wrapped in there. You were talking about Golden Gate Park, and the Golden Gate Park master plan is a living, breathing document. It actually sits on my desk. There are a number of Golden Gate Park initiatives in the Strategic Plan and i would say to you from my last 10 years in this position that there is probably no more robust conversation than there is on any issue around Golden Gate Park. I think that, frankly, i think that we have more work to do getting other neighborhood groups and folks from other parks engaged in, you know, sort of park policy and park advocacy conversations and theres a lot around Golden Gate Park so im not sure that were lacking in that regard, supervisor. You know, the the road closures, you know, traffic is an issue in the park. There are a lot of cars, there have been some pretty serious Pedestrian Safety issues in the park and its something that we all need to consider seriously and thats also not really we are a partner in that
