Little over two points. Business leaders continue to speak out about the election. This is what mark cuban told us on this program yesterday. He is going to say things that are stupid and ofshive that could lead to some sort of military action not originating from the United States but from another country that is the worse thing possible for the stock market. So spencer we are looking at the longest losing streak of the year, maybe five years, depends how we close today. All is all that a react...

Preliminary scoping just to see how far down the budget we would be able to get . So in march we would like to come back with the plan okay with the 15. 5 Million Dollars this is the number of playgrounds we think we could do in the first effort and the schedule for those. I think the other main piece of the feedback from the Task Force Committee which was mostly at the last meeting that we rebrand this program and while failing playgrounds sells gets you votes for bonds its not necessarily the ...

Spent months in planning to make sure this was a successful experience for the public and both the Committee Members and i think greg moore from the conservancy says sometimes you need to go slow to go fast, and we took the time we needed to prepare and be thoughtful and focused about the issues we wanted to put in front of the Committee Members and i think that has paid off so im going to take you through today a little bit of the context within which we did our work and the process and then ou...

Bottom is a renting and a photo of the finished project. This is an open space on a parcel on 22nd street and owned by sfmta and adopted by Community Members who lead the effort over 18 months to create the play area. We are thrilled to be part of it. We supported it and helped to make it a reality and if you have been down to 22nd street its filled with neighborhood kids and were thrilled about. Because we worked so hard to make a difference and responsive to the neighborhood concerns i am prou...

And so finally i think that the what we have before us in terms of a recommendation captures three things they think are important going through the process. One that the recommendations represent where both highest in need in terms of conditions but highest opportunity with regard to leverage of resources is represented here. Also the geographic kind of distribution across our city is also i think well represented, not the entire city, but i do think well represented and something that dawn sai...

Mean the only playgrounds were doing through the bond and as noted in the staff report a number of other projects that are part of larger renovations include playground projects and as you look at the map all of the red dots are the playgrounds in the San Francisco park system. Its one of the our numerous assets and one of the park features that draws the most loyalty and interest and enthusiasm and feedback from the many park users. Of that entire universe of playgrounds we renovated 83 already...

Block stretch here so another major benefit is the dog park. This is going to be built on public space and unimproved dead end street by the overpass and were going to pay to build it and maintain it in perpetuity and it will be open to the public and i want to clarify its not a standard thing for new developments to. Do we feel its above and beyond but we feel its an absolutely ideal thing for us to be doing. We saw an opportunity to create something in the space and listened to the community a...

Reiterate or under score that dawn did mention. First the staff. I would agree with dawn having participated in a number of these process and ones that had the passion and commitment to parks and open space that could potentially be therefore very contentious and this was not for a number of reasons. The first of which in my mind was the incredible Staff Support and analysis that went into preparation that dawn referenced so again thank you to dawn and the entire team, and then secondly the mast...
