President buell commissioner harrison. Commissioner harrison ornamental beds, was it the absence or they were not kept well . A park is never punished for a feature that the park doesnt contain. Its only what is at the park that is not maintained. You talk about ornamental bed, what is that . Its a piece of landscape that has planting. Its not necessarily a box, but it could be. If you look in a different neighborhood playground, center beds might be considered around port smith for example, the beds that align sort of the kearney and stockton around the perimeter of that park. We have a mix of landscapes. We have lawn, we have so the ornamental bed. Lawn is different, but where were actually planting plants and arranging beds, we consider those ornamental beds. Using port smith as example, that is a problem. That area. Considering that, and then getting to the equity like the commissioner mentioned, i notice in the Previous Report you had trained are they new gardeners or current staf
War ii, so myself, i would be spec ops, so thats my background. When you hear somebody coming out and talking about good morning vietnam, i thought that would be more the entertainment to try to boost the morale or go on the radio show or something at the time of the war. So being that Robin Williams had performed such, it probably had to come out later. It was a earlier variety show development. So mr. Robin williams Robin Williams, i think i would be supportive not only for the good morning vietnam, but possibly because he had received an Academy Award oscar. This fellow when i read about him in the newspaper, it didnt make too much sense. He was so saddened, seemed like chronic depression. And somehow it was part of his way of breaking out, where he would perform before different people. And really helped him along. Im hoping that if you do make the particular change, that you can also somewhere include a wall of fame with different people who have performed at said comedy area, if
That placed out there, i thought it would be more in trails, roadways when i brought in the ada accessible to the south lake and the ada accessible to the north lake. Where now theyre doing work on the landing dock. Supportive lines that dont get in the way of boats. So equities, i dont know what the total cost would be, but if there is a total cost for seniors and people who are of such age that the park is going to try to give up equity and noted that you have seniors you dont have, maybe you have kane of wheelchair. So cane or wheelchair. If we have more accessible places, i thought we should get the funding where its needed, a different source. So like where you have a different parks, like its about 25th avenue and the Golden Gate Bridge side of the park, over there you have a lot of russians and all the different other places, chinatown and the mission, there are equity places. If you use the access to a facility as total amount of funding, it wouldnt be very much to develop prog
Informed, i say the right things, maybe at the wrong time, and it takes all the energy out of you going against the grain. You may Say Something that is real good, but i mess up the whole script. Ive been doing that for years. And its hard because i got passion. You know, im 62, im just like all the rest of you, i look a little younger, but i seen it and been through it. I had to go through it to get to it. People of color, i got to go through more than most of you all. Im no preacher, no teacher, but i know god wouldnt lead me, id be gone. I aint got no money, no home. All i got is morale, i got a moral obligation. My family is across the bay. My daughters, theyre probably feeling good, they have kids and they have kids. But papa still here in the city by the bay, trying to get these people to hear what i got to say. When i learn to do that, i got people queen bee, route 200, we know where we grew up, thats history. Although i dont agree, im going to stand by her side until the time c

That is the conclusion of my recognition. We have this month in parks, we have a special video that may or may not have seen. It is our annual report. 2017. In retrospect. [ ] its been another amazing year for us at the San Francisco rec and park with 220 parks, 4,000 acres of open space, we have one of the most special parks in the entire country, but what makes our park system so special are all of you.
