[inaudible] chairwoman were on item 3, general managers. Good morning, this is sarah madeline, sitting in for the general margin today. As usual, the Commission President said it best welcome to our two new commissioners, and a special thanks to our outgoing commissioners. Well be honoring them at a future meeting when the general manager can be here. I will jump in on the general managers report and try to deliver it with as much enthusiasm as our general manager does. The wait is over. You may have heard, the highly anticipated 150foot illuminated observation wheel welcomed its first riders. It will provide riders with sweeping views from the ocean to downtown San Francisco. For the 15 150th scenes sear. Bot150thanniversary. It is a symbol of hope and rebirth for the city during covid. The wheel is located in the music concourse, near the California Academy of sciences and the japanese garden. Under our Health Precautions in place, to reduce the risk of covid19, you must make reservations in advance. All riders Must Wear Masks and practice social distancing. There are 36 gondolas, and they are fully enclosed and cleaned between lightings. And the gondola can only be shared by members of the same household. And as this is a new element in Golden Gate Park, we are welcoming backup of all kinds on the wheel at sfgof. Org. And to purchase tickets, which are going quickly, it is skywheel. Com. And a special thank you to those out there hours and hours on end, making sure that the ride was both safe and getting it open as quickly as possible. In other good news, you probably have heard that San Francisco welcomed our kids back to our 179 playgrounds last week. And mayor london breed joined our general manager and other city officials for a kickoff on that at the Merced Heights playground. All of the playgrounds have signs reminding families of capacity elements, and other city and state guidelines to prevent the spread of covid19. We have high park rangers on site monitoring compliance and providing information to families. And there is more information on our website about hours. Because of the Health Guidelines and the fact that we have both Community Learning hubs, our Emergency Health and child care, as well as preschools on our facilities, those playgrounds are only allowed to be used while theyre in session. So we have modified our hours, and were working on an easy to use map that will help people understand when they can go to this playground. Next, we have, as i mentioned, the Merced Heights project. And we also have some recently finished upcoming Capital Projects to alert you to. As Health Alerts change, well be able to do smaller celebrations. But some of the playgrounds have opened last week, as i mentioned, and we recently renovated under the lets play initiative, including Sergeant John mccauley in the tinde tenderloin, and what were now calling the Redwood Grove playground in the claren park, which is a 2. 8 million renovation. By way of reminder, lets play is a partnership between the Rec Department and the San Francisco Parks Department, which they have 13 playgrounds for improvement. Other Capital Projects on the way and expected to be completed before the end of the year include Margaret Heyward and the roe playground. A couple other interesting things going on to talk about. We had an event called the dark side soccer tournaments, and Leonard Griffin and elite black College Players are offering soccer camps every saturday throughout this month, including october 24thand the 31th, from 10 00 a. M. To 11 00 a. M. And they will soon offer grades k through 6 every wednesday and thursday afternoon from 4 00 to 5 05 00 p. M. And that is on our website. As part of covid, the board worked closely with the m. T. A. On different road closures, including Goldengate Park, both j. F. K. And m. L. K. , and twin peaks has been closed. Weve been receiving consistent Public Feedback from them and from people, and were working with the m. T. A. And other city departments to create a survey about twin peaks and look for alternatives that provide access while still making that area available for recreation. And the survey can be found at sfmta. Org projects. And the annual conference is going to be virtual, and it is taking place october 27th and 29th. It is taking all of the best elements of an inperson conference, including education sessions, keynote speakers and exhibiteds exhibiters and pg them in a unique online program. Thank you very much. That concludes our report. Chairwoman item 3, were now in Public Comments. Please dial star 3 for comment on general managers report only. No hands raised. Chairwoman okay. Thank you. Public comment is closed. I also wanted to just make note on the record that commissioner anderson and commissioner halsey are both present. Okay. We are now on item 4, general Public Comment, up to 15 minutes. This item will also be continued to item 9. At this time, members of the public may address the commission on items of interest to the public twain the subject matter jurisdiction of the commission and do not appear on the agenda. You have the opportunity to address the commission when the item is reached in the meeting. So please dial star 3 to be added to the cue to speak for general Public Comments. Okay. Weve got a couple on mute. Chairwoman thanks. Please state your name, caller. Caller pelo hello. My name is richard rothsman. Im calling about two items. One is about coit tower. I dont know if the commissioners are aware there was a water leak up there a few weeks ago, which im very upset about. Apparently it was caused by there are two water attention in the building, and nobody goes there on a regular basis, so this water for i dont know how long it was leaking did cause damage to the elevator and some of the murals. And either somebody needs to live up there, which somebody used to, or those water tanks need to be emptied because we need to preserve the murals. I did talk to the art commissions staff, and they can be fixed, but it will just take time and money to get them fixed. The second item i want to about about is the a. V. A. Parking in the concourse area. Rec and park staff came to the disability council, and i can say that everybody who spoke was against the plan. This plan does not offer any easy access from full fulton street. It needs to be redesigned. Rec and park staff needs to reach out to the Disability Community and have a conversation with them, which i dont think they did. I helped try to connect the two together. And, also, i found out about the concourse authority, the Mystery Agency under prop j and 1998, and we need to get the rec and park needs to get that commission up and running because theyre supposed to be responsible for the Traffic Management plans. So before we even think about making j. F. K. Permanently closed, we need to fix these a. D. A. And park issues, and get the concourse facility to start doing its job when they get it from the commissioners. Thank you very much. Chairwoman thank you for your comments, richard. Next caller, please state your name. Caller hi, my name is lori chan. I live on bernett north. Im up on twin peaks. I dont know if you really have addressed this, but my neighbors and i have been inundated with trash, crime, loud, drunken partying all hours of the night, usually after 10 00, sometimes as late as 1 00 in the morning. We called the police department, the nonemergency line almost nightly now. And they come and chase the people away. And then maybe an hour later, another set shows up. But the problem is that we, as neighbors, have picked up all of the litter, the trash, the garage. We have people coming on to our property, climbing onto our rooftops. They are using our garden to urinate in, sometimes to defecate in, and its absolutely untenable. Our neighborhood used to be safe. I cant even walk out my door in the evenings anymore because im afraid of being con fronte con confrony these people who are partying and carrying on. I know they have put out a survey, and i appreciate that as progress, but i hope that the mayor will respond to the many, many hundreds of letters weve been writing to ask for relief from this unintended consequences of what has happened to our once peaceful, quiet neighborhood. Shattered glass all over because the cars that do park there and the people hike up. People drive by, they smashandgrab. They drive off and then leave the street littered with glass. And the people come back to their cars and knock on our doors to ask for help. So this is really a horrible situation that didnt need to happen. We had no input in it. It just popped up. I understand that it was supposed to be allow neighbors more open recreation space, and i have no problem with that. But we do have the parks. Even during the shutdown we had the parks. At Goldengate Park you had to distance and wear masks and all of the protocols. The people gathering up here are not Wearing Masks at all. Chairwoman thank you, caller, for your comments. Caller that is what im most concerned about. Chairwoman thank you for your comments. We have nobody else on the line, so seeing no further comment, Public Comment is now closed. Any questions or comments from the commissioners . We missed the fellow who called under the president s report. So if he is listening, have him call back under Public Comment at the end of the meeting. Chairwoman okay. So were now on item 5, the consent calendar. Is there any item you would like removed from the consent calendar, commissioners . Seeing none, the chair would entertain a motion. Youre on mute, commissioner lowe. So moved. Specceded. Specceded. Second. Moved and seconded. Do you neat Public Comment . Chairwoman yeah, we need Public Comment. Is there anyone . No raised hands. All those in favor . Yea. Yea. Chairwoman okay. Were on item 6, the San Francisco zoo. Hello, good morning. This is tanya peterson. Can you here me, ashley . Chairwoman yes. Good morning. We missed you this morning. It was on a zoom call with other responsibilities. Im sorry i missed it. [laughter] well, i congratulate the new commissioners and welcome them, and it will be a pleasure to work with you both. This hearing, im going to try something new, since a picture is worth a thousand words. My staff wanted to submit a video on all of the Safety Measures and updates were taking at the zoo to keep folks safe, and then a brief photo or two of our 21yearold lemur who has been returned. President , may i start the video . Please do. Pierk i thought we were going to be closed for two weeks. But we still had to take care of the grounds and provide for the animals. We went from making sure we were washing our hands all of the time to staying home fulltime. I was worried. Nothing like this has ever happened before. We really miss talking to the guests about our animals there. We miss the volunteers. At the current animal resource center, we missed all of our youth volunteers this summer. We missed having our entire Summer Season with the natural volunteers, which we have 110 of, and we missed all 90 of our junior zoologists. There are the rhinos here and our giraffes. We had a time to do a lot of training with our goats, horses, and even giraffes. We still hold birthday parties for our animals, like our onehorned rine nerhinoand senior chimps. It was fun to celebrate these milestones and share on social media. There are many maintenance projects, and our gardens really flourished. We got creative during the closure of the zoo. We did things that we never did before, like walk the penguins around and go to visit other exhibits and other animals so they could stretch their little legs. So it was fun. Im so happy we were able to pivot from our very popular zoo cam program to a modified zoo play. The kids were great in social distancing, and im so thankful to our wonderful staff for making everything move smoothly. We can social distance from a lot of other Staff Members due to the pandemic. We spent a lot more time with the animals, and we ramped up our training program, and so we spent a lot more individualized training with the animals, like the rhinos. With the public being around, it kind of makes that a little harder. So we really ramped up that a lot. To keep our public connected with us, we created a website called sfzooconnects. And we did summi some athome safaries in our backyards. A few months ago, you would have been able to see salmon jumping up from pool to pool. It is really quite spectacular. We celebrated the birth of a new manderin. We took advantage of star wars day, may the force be with you, with avisit by v. V. H. Mayor breed toured the zoo today to announce the reopening set for next week. It is so important we maintain our distance. The zoo will open to members on monday, and the general public on tuesday, but with plenty of modifications. [please stand by] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] that concludes my report. Im available for any questions. Thank you very much. We are now in Public Comment for item 6, San Francisco zoo. Please dial star 3 to be added to the queue to speak. You have two minutes. I dont see any hands raised. Okay. Commissioner . President buell we just accept that report, we dont have to approve it . Any comments or anything . President buell no. Okay. We are now on item 7, Francisco Park, donor recognition and naming. Good morning, commissioners. My name is lisa bransten, im director of partnership in the recreation and Parks Department and here to ask for discussion and possible action to approve a Donor Recognition Program for Francisco Park and approve names for the playground, dog area, Community Garden and picnic area. For background, the park is a brand new park developed by a group of opportunity members that have long advocated for a park on this site. The land was purchased in the puc in 2014 with the agreement that the Community Group fund a design and construction of the park and support some of the ongoing Park Maintenance. In 2014, the Community Group formally became the Francisco Park conservancy. And they entered an agreement to formalize the relationship regarding park design, construction and maintenance. And that would be then through 2066. Park construction is now estimated to be approximately 27 million. And support for the annual maintenance is more than 150,000 a year. So this is quite a Significant Partnership for the department. This new 4. 5 acre park will be a valuable addition to San Francisco open space, restoring natural habitat and providing Recreational Amenities that were advocated for by Community Members through rigorous Community Engagement process. This beautiful site is deep in construction and should open early next year. Ill stop here and just take one moment to express gratitude to the f. P. C. Which achieved the Herculean Task of raising millions of dollars for the design and construction and is continuing to fundraise for maintenance. With that, im going to turn off my camera and hope my presentation works. Okay. So i wanted to just start with what was approved in 2018 by the commission. And that the Donor Recognition Program, the full program was originally approved it was designed by the f. P. C. To assist in its efforts to raise the funding for design and construction that i just talked about and sorry the plan was approved by the commission in 2018, with the condition that f. P. C. Would return to the commission for approval of the named elements. So well do part of that today. So i just that plan included the name of six features of the park, which f. P. C. Is looking for approval today to name four. Before i get into the action items, and around the naming and the change to one element of the donor plan, i just wanted to go back and share a drawing of the main donor wall, which is largely the same as what was approved. This donor wall shows where f. P. C. Will recognize all donors to the project who give 25,000 or more. And its on one of the original reservoirs retaining walls. And we wanted to share with you how theyll graciously celebrate the Community Effort to get this project done with the following text. So on this wall will be this narrative. Francisco park is a result of 70year Community Effort. The park is Publicprivate Partnership between the city and a group of committed volunteers with the design and construction privately funded by the community. We thank the many individuals who imagined and built Francisco Park and those whose generosity made it possible. Special appreciation is given to the San Francisco mayors office, board of supervisors, Public Utilities commission and recreation and Park Department for their integral and essential support. And now ill talk about the change to the donor plan. Lets see. So i guess ill note that in general, donor plans are presented to the commission as concept plans, just as overall park design plans are. They change slightly during design and construction. The staff and partners work to refine materials and exact placement. But in this case, however, the change was substantial enough that were seeking renewed approval and thats around the secondary donor wall where f. P. C. Will recognize donors of 1500 to 24,999. On this slide right now, you see the initial proposal which was to create small donor tags shaped like drops of water to recognize the donors. Ultimately, this plan and the backup plan turned out to be impractical in terms of installation and maintenance. And the new plan is more enticing to donors. So the new plan is to install this donor recognition on the stairways that lead up to the main lawn of the new park. This plan will consist of the concrete steps with stainless steel plaques into the risers and this will recognize donors of, again, 1500 to 24,999. Then the next action item for the commission is to approve the naming of four park elements. All of these elements were in the commissions original approval that allowed the elements to be named and were coming back to you today with the names. In all of the cases, the donor has complied with the Commission Policy to contribute at least half of the Construction Cost of the element. The names will be in place until 2066, the same period as f. P. C. S agreement with the department. The names are as follows. So the dog play area which is b1 here on the slide, will be peggys play dog play area. George and judy marcus provided them with the 500,000 contribution to support the construction of the dog play area and would like to name it after their dog. Next on the list is b3. That is the larson lamb playground. Chris larson and lena lamb, provided the f. P. C. With a connection of 2. 5 million to support playground construction. Next is the b4 and that is the Community Garden. She and her husband provided 500,000 to support construction of the Community Garden. Lastly, is area b5. The greg and bev james picnic area. Bradley and chris james provided the f. P. C. With a contribution of 1 million to support the picnic area and seeked to name the picnic area after chris parents. Just to give you an idea of how these will look, this is an illustration of the types of plaques that will be installed in the four areas to highlight the names of the donors who supported the project. And then i also just wanted to share with you the progress that theyve made in the donor recognition plaques. These were also approved by the commission. I wanted to note there will be donor plaques in 10 of the 13 sites that were approved. And these are just signs in the park. They will not be official names reflected on that. This will be the kind of plaques for the donor recognition areas. And lastly, i did want to note that lets see thats the end of my presentation. President buell thank you, lisa. Sorry, i just wanted to end the presentation and just make a couple of last comments. Youll note that three potential names and three donor recognition areas were not taken up by donors. Staff would like to continue to work with f. P. C. On these donor elements for the year after the park opens as punch lists are completed and other things are finalized as part of the project. This will help f. P. C. Raise the funds to support more than 40 years of Park Maintenance and has precedent other partnerships. Such as the San Francisco botanical garden, the foundation that supports the palace of fine arts and the ongoing relationship with the National Aids memorial grove. And i just wanted to conclude one more time, because we can never do this enough, by thanking the f. P. C. For the tremendous work on this project. And their success in raising the millions of dollars needed to support this park and their commitment to continue funding parts of the maintenance of this park. And say how wonderful it will be to open this park in a few months. And im happy to take any questions. Thank you very much. President buell thank you, lisa. We are now in Public Comment for item 7, Francisco Park donor naming and recognition. Please dial star 3 to be added to the queue to speak. You have two minutes. Good morning, president and commissioners. My name is bruce, im with the San Francisco Park Conservancy and just wanted to celebrate this occasion. Its been many long years and were not only thankful to the private individuals who have made this possible their through generous donations, but wanted to thank the park and Recreation Department for years of assistance guiding us through this difficult process. And very happy to have the park under construction, 26 million raised. Just wanted to thank the department and staff for all of the assistance through this difficult time. Thank you. President buell thank you. Thank you for your comments. We have no other comments. So Public Comment is now closed. President buell thank you. Questions or comments, commissioners . I would like to say that i attended many of the fundraising meetings for this park and it really has been a remarkable joint venture between the community and the department. And unprecedented, really, for parks in San Francisco. Golden gate park peacock meadow is an excellent place for this. It will be visible from j. F. K. Drive and ada accessible. Exhibit will be apprised of three trees and flowering bushes as shown here in white. The artist is a local artist who has exhibited his industrial art throughout the bay area and internationally. You may be familiar with his work, squared, which was exhibited at Patricia Green from may 2018 to may 2019. Beautiful art structures are made out of sheet metal and sealed with antigraffiti clear finish. The lights are diffusion cubes of molded plastic, with l. E. D. Lights. The combination of steel plastic and l. E. D. Lights are combined to form a grove of three metal trees and 20 flowering bushes that would tran form it into a wonderful place. Ever changing lighting combinations in celebration of Golden Gate Parks 150th anniversary. This concludes my presentation. Any questions . President buell thank you very much. We are now in Public Comment for item 8, Golden Gate Park temporary entwined meadow light art installation. Please dial star 3 to be added to the queue to speak. You have two minutes. Are there any commenters, paul . Paul, youre on mute. Do you have anyone in the queue . Okay. Looks like there might be somebody. There is a caller on the line, please state your name. Hi, im bob hall. President buell go ahead. Thank you. I just wanted to make a comment that i hope that youre putting this really nice art project through the lens of science, too. There is a lot of Lighting Projects being added to the parks, the soccer fields and the ferris wheel and now the tennis courts. So im sure you all heard the science before about insect collapse and this lighting has really been a challenge to damage insects and causes them to swarm around the lights and they get tired and die. Insects that are important in biodiversity because they supply food for other animals, especially birds. So we have to do whatever we can with the biodiversity clash happening right now to consider science when youre doing things. I saw the academy of science marketing person approved this project, but have you had any of their entomologists look at this . Thats my comment. Thank you for letting me speak. Thank you very much. This is drew, San Francisco parks client. Good morning, commissioners. I wanted to talk about entwined meadow. The Parks Alliance along with the rec and Park Department have been coorganizing the year long celebration in honor of the park. While the festivities around our park were not the events that we planned for, were proud the way that weve brought the joy of the park to the people and their homes through a virtual experience, which still can be found at Golden Gate Park 150. Com. And the way the park continues to serve our community during a health emergency. Theyre taking advantage of the streets, and the popup welcome center, 150 park improvements, including dozens of large and small landscaping projects, street edge, 30 million renovation of golden gate tennis center. New stage, sound and lighting in the music concourse. And in light of the pandemic of 2020, Golden Gate Park 150 wants to provide an appearance in physical distancing, and celebrate and find joy and light and fun during this unprecedented time. This temporary installation will close the 150th celebration by transforming the peacock meadow with the entwined meadow. Well be streaming a bunch of other things happening in the park, which will become a holiday destination, which were dubbing holiday at home. Since many people are spending the holidays in San Francisco this year. We wanted to give them something to do. We look forward to celebrating the holidays with everyone and enjoy your day. Thank you. Are there any other folks on the line for Public Comment . Okay. None. So i was on mute earlier. Thank you, paul. Seeing no other Public Comment, Public Comment is now closed. President buell commissioners . Any comments, questions . Chair would entertain a motion . Commissioner low i do note this is a shortterm agreement, so i think we can assess any adverse effects that might be posed by this within that period prior to a longer term extension, which looks like the outside date is june 1, 2021. I think this looks fascinating. The artist is so creative and im looking forward to seeing this in Golden Gate Park. I move to approve. President buell thank you. Moved and seconded. All those in favor . So moved. Thank you very much. Thank you, okay. Were on item 9, general Public Comment. Continued from item 4. At this time, members of the public who were not able to address the commission on item 4, may address the commission on items that are within the subject matter jurisdiction of the recreation and Park Commission and that do not appear on the agenda. I know we have at least one caller from before in the queue. Hello . Am i on . Yes, you are. State your name, please. Hi, my name is tom. Im a resident and as i mentioned earlier, friends and i have been working on a underused streets over there recently. We started putting in planters and were building a few skate ramps and we were getting good reception from the community, albeit without permits. Everybody seemed to love it. It was a really cool thing. The other week, caltrain came by without warning or notice and tore out all the ramps and things we had built there. I was wondering what are the avenues i can endeavor on to try to make it legit and get a permit and try to make it happen again. Because its a really good space and it seemed to be backed by a lot of the members of the community. Any information you can give would be really helpful. Thats it. President buell i guess my comment would be that you might inquire with caltrans because it sounds like they had the authority to modify your improvement. So that would be my recommendation. Okay. Paul, anyone else on the line . Yes, hi, can you hear me . Yes, please state your name. Yeah, hi, my name is brad tardy. Good morning, commissioners. Id like to address the closure of twin peaks boulevard at burnett avenue. Is that okay for me to talk about that for two minutes . President buell please. [please stand by] our neighbor had a gun pulled on them for accidentally blocking a burglars getaway car. And weve almost been hit by cyclist speeding down the boulevard. There is parking on bernett, and increased Police Presence hasnt worked. Simply put, it doesnt have to be this way. One simple action can fix all of these problems. Please show compassion to us. Open the gate and take down the no parking signs on bernett, and thank you for allowing me to address the commissioners. Thank you very much. Chairwoman thank you.

Absolutely. Well work with the zoo on that. Chairwoman commissioners, are there any other items you would like to bring up .
