The purpose of the sign is to share with park visitors, the cultural and historical significance of the generation and their connection to cottage row. We have received about 22 letters of support. And two letters of opposition from the same person have been submitted. Im happy to show you a couple of photos. Neighborhood. Cottage row is in the historic district. Thats the black outline. The park is in green. And the red rectangle shows the approximate location of the front bed along sutter street. This is a photo of the new garden. And that is one of the boulders. And this is a temporary sign. The actual sign will be embedded onto the rock. And these are three photos showing similar types of signage in our parks. That concludes my presentation. Thank you. President buell thank you. I have one blue card. Mickey . Good afternoon. My name is mickey and im here to support the Japanese Community efforts to place a plaque in the issei rock garden and its wording. For the past 40 years ive l
This was an american an american concentration camp. So in placing a plaque in the wording, i want to end by saying this words matter and the truth matters. Thank you. President buell thank you. Clerk i know we have a couple of other folks for Public Comment. Please come forward. Good afternoon, commissioners, president buell, members of the commission, general manager phil ginsburg. Thank you for taking this issue up in your agenda. Im a longtime advocate for [feedback] as you know, San Francisco is one of three left in america. And im here to urge you to support the recommendation from your Operations Committee that met recently, which your committee did approve the signage for the issei Memorial Park plaque.

I know we get great value, but you know, there is no reporters here, but man, if i were a reporter id be asking a question about why is a bathroom 1. 7 million and thats the reality we deal with in rec and park and any other department. Im amenable to moving forward on the project so it doesnt get to be more. Commissioner harrison yeah, the project is great. And i would normally support it, but because of the prefabricated restroom, i will be unable to support this. For a lot of reasons. But anyway, just want to put that out there. Commissioner mcdonnell quickly, another math question. Im in full support. I look forward to moving forward with the project. The opening paragraph and its repeated elsewhere says, to increase the change order, the change order amount allowed from 141 to 1. 2 million, the change order amount isnt 141 to 1. 2 million, the change order is 141 to 244, Something Like that, so the language is inaccurate. Right. But this is typically how we word the contract incre
Money if this is something that not only increases the value of the property but its work that would have been done anyway. And then its work thats already been done, and these are the kinds of things that i think that should be coming to the board prior to the completion of the work and so i guess im just not interested in going backwards here. So i just want the department to help us to understand why were at this point after the fact. Good question, i love this committee. Good afternoon, or good morning, Committee Members and supervisors. Tim frey, department staff. This is something that i think that the city has some flexibility in determining what is considered or defined as recently completed work. The recently completed work definition in the Mills Act Program does state that it can be work thats happened within the last two years. And thats something that the city attorneys office, along with the full commission and board decided was a reasonable time frame but based on what i
Camera project, its a subgrant from the Union Square Business improvement district. We have seven locations with cameras and maps so theyre on golden gate and leavenworth and up by our new office on allison wheels, at the corner of ellis and leavenworth has cameras. We just received an oewd grant for the last go around for cameras so well put up somewhere between two and four more locations, depending how much we can leverage out of the Property Owners to put the cameras up. But these cameras have been very effective and we work closely with the San Francisco police department, theyre in our office quite often to get the tape to use in the prosecutions. Our biggest budget item always has been and probably will be is cleaning our sidewalks. You have seen this before, basically sweeping great feety and removing and pickup of the needles and we continue to do that in this fiscal year and were successful at that. And thats it. Im open to questions, thoughts, comments, on any of our work or
