It will be for us, i think it will help us the more they know. If they know swings are 82 on the list, it will manage their expectations around scream being the swing. Sure. If you hear screaming about swings, let me know, because those are easy to fix. Will do. Be careful what you ask for. Any Public Comment . First of all, i want to give my condolence to ed lee, because i know ed lee personally for a number of years, 25, 30 years. I knew ed lee before he got into politics. Let me give you a short story. I knew ed lee, the one of the first times i meet him, history. Me and another brother kicking tailbones in this city, the summer came, he said, ace, come to the office, take this paper. You need a job, go down there to 25 ns, we going to get you a job. You think you like politics, go down there, they give you a job. Conedy said, look at 25, i go down there, althoulo and behold is there, the jokester ed lee. The first time back in the paper. Thats how i got my start politically. But then i had been on jack davis, helped elect the first not the first policeman who was that, anyway, so im around. Im here for the city and i be back. Although and behold ed lee wasnt even buried yet. I have somebody i know you all seen it in the paper, they was talking about the resident, heres his legacy, but the next page said, name the name, Justin Herman, after ed lee. To the hell about having that about ed lee, he had nothing to do with the black community. Another thing, you have not one black official say anything about ed lee publicly, because he say all you negros president buell i think were talking about under the rule, you can speak under Public Comment about whatever you like, this is about the agreement. Im going to go there, sir. President buell please do. You messed up my time. President buell ill give you a little more time. Nobody said a damn thing, dont stop me. There is no Justin Herman. I wish i knew that. Im on this case, the bottom line is this agency, made a big egregious mistake on his name. You didnt vote, did you . But bottom line is, i want to know, like all the rest of us black folks, from that time when where does it go from here . Because in the paper, this guy from real estate said name it Justin Herman. Didnt mention about the black people who lost it, so i know it was orchestrated by somebody. Fake news, alternative news. This department, youre responsible, where does it go now . About Justin Herman name. I ace washington declaring, im start ago committee to rename it barack obama. It cannot be challenged. It cannot be denied, it cannot be erased. My name is ace. I have three generations under me. Park and rec, were going to talk. You gave 300,000 to do what . To do what, tear it down and rebuild because the blacks aint going to be there anymore. Ray charles, theyre trying to get rid of you all. My name is ace, congratulations on president buell thank you. Clerk anyone else who would like to make Public Comment on this item . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Commissioners . President buell entertain a motion . Moved and seconded. All those in favor . So moved. Thank you. Clerk before we go to item 8, you can come up, i just need to make one announcement. And that is were going to switch the order of 9 and 10. So well hear the Strategic Plan before the Operational Plan. Were on item 8. Good morning, im gary mccoy, policy and Public Affairs commission, Community Affairs manager with the department. I am here to speak on naming the area known as sharon meadow and Golden Gate Park in Robin Williams. I dont want to repeat what is in the staff report, but highlight that the area known as sharon meadow has not officially been named by the commission and there has been significant press coverage over the last two years since this was brought forward with vast support by many folks and some in this room. Including former mayor willie brown and late mayor ed lee as well. There is no known opposition and i could answer questions. Clerk we have Public Comment. Anyone who would like to speak on this item, come on up. Good morning, commissioners, my name is debbie durst, im the president of the board of comedy day and producer of comedy day. It still rings true with me and just for i apologize, if youve heard it before, but for the commissioners not here at the last meeting. Ill read it now. Dang it, they broke. The very first comedy day was 1980. We moved the laughter to the western end of the Golden Gate Park for a few years when we outgrew the bandshell. But for the last 20some years comedy days home has been sharon meadow. Its a perfect fit. Its a day of agree comedy. There are very few things left that are free to the public. Its a San Francisco tradition, so close to the history of hippie hill in the meadow. Even more legendary was this one man. This man was talented, smart, funny and one of the most generous and philanthropic. He loved coming year after year, hang out with the contemporaries and shower the stage with genius. Comedy day has always been about bringing the funny. Laughter is the best medicine and this man brought huge doses of it. You could feel the electricity come forward in waves. I felt compelled to do something for this man who was such a part of comedy day and city of San Francisco in a way that would honor his memory and comic spirit for all time. With the help of phil ginz berg, mr. Mark buell, the president of the San Francisco parks commission, former assemblyman, maggie lynch, our late mayor, ed lee, beth, who did tons of research on the man known as William Sharon and acting mayor london breed, this hollow place of humor should be known as Robin Williams meadow. I look forward to seeing all of you at the last sunday of summer, at the 38th annual comedy celebration day, at Robin Williams meadow in Golden Gate Park. President buell thank you. Clerk next speaker. Hi, im will durst, im her assistant, and i she and i are the only two people who have performed at every comedy day. So shes invested in this. The fact that they have the tunnel that is named after Robin Williams and you feel, oh, when you go through it, we got nothing. And i dont think William Sharon would be pissed. I havent heard anything from him. So if you could do this, i think it would be great for the city and fort comics, because it would give us something to aspire to. Thank you. President buell thank you. Clerk next speaker . Anyone else . I got to beat richard every time. Good morning. President buell well give you his three minutes, too. Right on, ill be a true comedian and not run the light. Im a standup comedian here in San Francisco. Ive been attending comedy day for 20 years. Ive been volunteer for them for about a decade. Ive been performing here in San Francisco for about a decade. And Robin Williams meant a lot to me. I think if you remember his first hbo special it was at the Great American music hall four blocks up the veto and opened up the show by saying San Francisco, the city, my home, every time im away from it, im drawn back to it and conversely, every time i see Robin Williams, im brought back to the city. And as a comedian, im very, very proud to be standing in front of you, this is such hallowed ground, ive been considering it Robin Williams meadow a long, long time. I hope you can see making the name change for us today. President buell thank you very much. Richard . Ive been looking over some of the requirements to get a place named after a person, and im looking the at all of you, i think this is going to be a very supportive commission in favor of the name change. Anyway, i remember good morning vietnam, myself having been a navy medic, we call them combat corps men, they give the congressional honors in world 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 would be also possible. And then those behind me, comics, comedians, and others, they can also be honored. But be sure not to put on ri richa richard. Thank you. Anyone else . Gail, did you want to speak . Thank you, margaret. Hi commissioners, my name is gail, i would like to support you for thank you for supporting comedy since 1980 here in the city when we survived the 70s and we needed a good laugh and good come together. And thank you to the rec and park for their approval of a band of dedicated performers who keep showing up, year after year, have performed over 500,000 people in our glorious park. Statistically speaking, i think that we could say we have had the biggest comedy event in the world. Over 38 years coming up. So in honor of robin and all the dedicated performers, i would like to thank all of you for the outcome today. President buell thank you. Cle clerk anyone else who would like to make Public Comment . Public comment is closed. President buell commissioner anderson. Commissioner anderson may i invite will and debbie to come back up for a moment . Is that all right . President buell i think they have permission. Commissioner anderson i would like to hear more about the genesis of the idea. You mentioned the people who supported it, but i know there is a little more work that happened and would invite you to share a little bit more and wanted to thank you for inviting me to come out to comedy day, which i did, and it was a very joyous, embracing event with such talented people such as yourselves and thought you could give us a little more background. Well, robin was such a part of the Comedy Community, such a part of comedy day. Like i said, he was there the very first comedy day. And he was always a great supporter of comedy day and not a lot of people know it, but if it werent for robin giving us some money, there would be no comedy day a few years. He was just a silent supporter. He did it anonymously, so we couldnt mention amongst ourselves whether he had given money. We always heard that we got the money, because the eagle has landed. And that was the code word. He was known in the Comedy Community as the eagle. When we said the eagle had landed, that meant he gave the money for the show. President buell he kept it going five or six years. At least, because its nonprofit organization, no one gets paid. And everyone comes to perform, its one of the biggest things to be invited to perform at comedy day. Its kind of our company picnic. And we instead of barrel races, we yes, gails husband, was one of the founders of comedy day. It was a very dark time in San Francisco. We had lost a mayor. And jonestown had happened and all this stuff and there was a gray cloud. So jose along with a couple of other people decided to begin comedy day and robin was behind it. He did everything he could for this great San Francisco tradition. And if not for him, it would not be here today. So thank you. President buell thank you. Clerk i appreciate all that you have done on this, debbie, i know a lot of time has gone in your side. Yeah, i used to have a lot more hair. Commissioner anderson didnt we all. President buell before i ask for a vote of the commission, let me thank will and debbie and the others for the contribution youve made to this effort and the culture of San Francisco. You put us in a very unique place on the map and we appreciate it. With that, the chair would entertain a motion. So moved. Seconded. President buell moved and seconded, all those in favor . So moved. Thank you. [applause] we are now on item 10, the Strategic Plan. President buell i know you find it humorous and entertaining, but you dont have to sit through the Strategic Plan. Now, thats but we do want that now thats comedy. Ill wait for netflix. [laughter]. Merry christmas. Happy holidays. Thank you, you too. Good morning, commissioners, taylor from the finance committee that was funny. No pressure, taylor. Take my Strategic Plan, please. Oh. I am here today to present to you the strategic the progress assessment of our Strategic Plan so far. Where we are in the indicators and a look ahead at the next five years. Our longterm planning tool, the Strategic Plan for fy 201822. As a reminder, this is a planning process. We will be doing this through fy 46, prop b, starts with equity and the equity metrics and analysis feeds into the Strategic Plan and then the Operational Plan is a twoyear look. Its a shorter term horizon that also filters through the equity lens and then we bring you the capital plan in january. And in february, the budget. And this is a sequence and a building, an evolution of our we need a synonym for plan our focus, our efforts. The framework has the Mission Vision values, the five course strategies and the objectives and those are not changing. Underneath those, the actions that support all that are the initiatives and those change and refresh and get done and new ones come on each year. Here today to stalk about the twoyear Operational Plan. Equity is filtered, its not at the bottom or the top, its infused through all of that. Quick assessment of where we are on these initiatives. For the fiveyear period, fy 17 to 21, we have completed 14 of those. Another 49 are in progress, which together means, i think its more than 90 are either started or completed. And the remainders are to be initiated in the coming years. Just highlights of what weve done. The 10minute walk, were so proud of it, we keep talking about it. Its about the equity, 100 of san franciscans now live within a 10 minute walk of park or open space. We also, strategy 2, to support safe bicycling and through parks and increase recreational bicycling in parks, the bike park in mclaren and these are both proud accomplishments toward this goal of more cycling. There are so many things about the hall that feel successful and accomplishments of new park, increasingly dense neighborhood. And there are opportunities for urban farming and Community Gardening there. I love theyre doing a Different Community garden model there, it is actually community. Theyre all growing it together, instead of individual plots. I heard at the end of the season, they gave away 500 pounds of food. That is exciting. Within the Strategic Plan itself, some of the initiatives are equity equity related and this is a shot of those. Some of those are internal learning. We got training, we have two people a year doing the Government Alliance on Racial Equity learning and theyre bringing that back to the department. Weve expanded our training our recruiting processes to reach now audiences and this, of course, is while we call this complete, its also ongoing. We did what we set out to do this year and were doing more. Second class of greenidge, these kinds are from chinatown which is one of the most open spaced, deficient of nature neighborhoods and were giving them environment learning opportunities. At mission playground, we started a Spanish Language permit assistance. There is like a satellite permit office at Mission Clubhouse that has operating hours, and helps people get the permits for birthday a party or other organized events. New initiatives, there are six new ones. Here they are, complete the jurisdictional transfer of properties. Continue working on the Civic Center Commons initiative. Start working on the conservatory of flowers campus. And some work in operations with the nursery and plant palates. With that, happy to take questions. Clerk go to Public Comment . President buell please. Clerk anyone who would like to make Public Comment . Come on up. Interesting combination of performance here today, im ss urban riders and here to confirm and thank the department for the progress theyve made on the strategic objectives, particular
