Im already a member of the soma neighborhood cac and even though the programs are overlapping for Pedestrian Safety and street sweeps and other category, they dont have much communication unfortunately. They really dont team up.

Good morning, supervisors, my name is jordyn aquino, i have been a resident of San Francisco since pursuing my degree. I have served as a public aid as a senior and administrative analyst for San Francisco public works. I currently serve for application support for Information Technology where i have the great opportunity to train and support local Business Enterprises interim employees and external contractors or our organization electronic contract systems. I believe i will bring great value to parks and open Spaces Community because i have great faith in my community and leaders and every opportunity to allow district 4 grow and strive as a positive community in San Francisco. I currently volunteer for a Community Clean team, cleaning up waste and around ocean beach and planting across sunset boulevard. I also volunteer for the Front Yard Ambassadors Program implemented by the Supervisors Office which allows homeowners to transform their yards to echo friendly environment. I believe that through programs like this, this sense of Community Involvementen insures our constituents celebrate their own sense of Neighborhood Pride and provides a Safe Community for children and families to walk, play and even run. As an avid runner myself, i do believe that seeing such Civic Engagement and such projects come to life in my district only motivates me to find ways to make our areas more beautiful. As a young adult living in San Francisco i have always desired to find ways to support the Public Policy in the city that i felt the most alive with. I have found ways to identify with communities and have found myself most enthusiastic when im with colleagues who share that same interest in my community. As i advance my career in Public Service i have found the experiences that i thrive for and the knowledge that i yearn fore develop through the involvement and love i have for San Francisco. This is why i believe i will make a great contribution to the parks and recreation open space Advisory Committee. Supervisor john avalos thank you very much. I dont see any questions from the committee. Well go to the next applicant. Heather fuch . Good morning, thank you supervisors avalos and tang. My name is heather fuch. I come to you as a resident for district 4 in the open space Advisory Committee. Several years ago i assisted supervisor tang while i was in college. It was supervisor tang that reminded me to become more involved in San Francisco communities. My proudest accomplishment working with supervisor tang was conducting reach in Human Trafficking in the sunset as well as the conflicts among state and city laws in regulating these establishments. This was sometimes difficult and frustrating work but it gave me the inside look to capacity of local government. With an academic background in government facilities, it allows me to work in this field. I work for a Large Law Firm downtown and helps me with my skills. My passion lies with government and i plan to pursue a secondary in law and policy. Im eager to serve my community in this new role and look forward to this opportunity. Supervisor john avalos thank you very much. No questions from the committee. Thank you for your presentation. Our next up is toby levy. Supervisor my name is toby levy where im trying to get more money to acquire for open space. We are making progress, but as i said with my eastern neighborhoods experience, the funding comes from impact fees which are controlled by the eastern neighborhood cac and there is a very big need for the coordination between the eastern neighborhood cac and prozac. Im proud to say that weve been working with the planning recreation and parks and im part of the association for 9 years advocating the redevelopment for south park. We have raised over half a Million Dollars to do this. Supervisor kim got us a Million Dollars on the park fund and we used the impact fees and im proud to say we are having Ground Breaking on november 10th. That is the culminate of all the efforts, but i see my role from improving south park is for the rest of open space in district 6. Supervisor john avalos just a question, where do you see the sites for district 6 . There is two sites. One is available and the other one is not. Both are very expensive. The question i have is can the Real Development thats happening in central soma, those impact fees just the development of 5 m, the flower mart, the tennis court and south of market western and eastern can have a swimming pool, more basketball courts. Another recs center. Aside from putting all of these people there. I see two roles. The private open space but what might come out of all of this massive development. We have an overall plan to meet the needs of the Affordable Housing coming south of market as well as the market rate. Supervisor john avalos thank you, we have a huge need there so we are counting on you. Okay. Well open up this item for Public Comment.
