Has picked up reports. This is work that came up from the community through the commission. We have the agency and the commission. So its in cecredibly important work. Also, ban the box started with the human rights commission, the equity advisory committee. Now thats also something thats traveled nationally and gets stronger and stronger every year in different places. One of the things that i am personally most proud of is that we instituted a pilot under mayor lee to deal with implicit bias. So we were able to it was an idea we had at the commission. I brought it to the commission. I wasnt the first person to think about this obviously, but we were able to get a Pilot Program going with the mayors support and the supporter support of the family. Kimberlypapinon, we were able to work with her to create a program and the mayor funded it. So that was an amazing thing. And i know now that the department of human rights is dism administering a program and i really look forward to hearing how its going and seeing what were doing with it now, but its that kind of thing the commission has done and can do and were all looking for ways to do that whas we move forward. So i want to thank everybody o whos here and all the Community Members who over time have supported, cajoled, ciriticized lobbied the human rights commission. Its going to continue and im grateful for that as well, but we have a lot of work ahead of us. I really do feel like we are now getting at programs that will address structural in equequali. Sheryl, im going to hand it back to you. For those saying we are going to be in room 201, we have the recommendations from the out appmigration task force as well the unfinished agenda, as well as the environmental safety. There have been has felisha said pneumonnumerous time s three rsd what has changed. This year as the mayor talked about, we are going to spend some time looking at those recommendations and seeing what, if anything, has changed. If nothing has changed, really consider what we can do to see what we can do forward mo moig forward. We can see what the office of Racial Equity can institute. Lastly i would ask before we start to disperse, some of the members part of the original task force, if you could stand so we can thank you for your time as a part of that. Ken montero, daryl davis and ms. Saxon, thank you and please join us in 201. Thank you. [ ] [ ] i just wanted to say a few words. One is to the parents and to all of the kids. Thank you for supporting this program and for trusting us to create a Soccer Program in the bayview. Soccer is the worlds game, and everybody plays, but in the united states, this is a sport that struggles with access for certain communities. I coached basketball in a coached football for years, it is the same thing. It is about motivating kids and keeping them together, and giving them new opportunities. When the kids came out, they had no idea really what the game was. Only one or two of them had played soccer before. We gave the kids very simple lessons every day and made sure that they had fun while they were doing it, and you really could see them evolve into a team over the course of the season. I think this is a great opportunity to be part of the community and be part of programs like this. I get to run around with my other teammates and pass the ball. This is new to me. Ive always played basketball or football. I am adjusting to be a soccer mom. The bayview is like my favorite team. Even though we lose it is still fine. Right on. I have lots of favorite memories, but i think one of them is just watching the kids enjoy themselves. My favorite memory was just having fun and playing. Bayview united will be in soccer camp all summer long. They are going to be at civic centre for two different weeklong sessions with america scores, then they will will have their own soccer camp later in the summer right here, and then they will be back on the pitch next fall. Now we know a little bit more about soccer, we are learning more, and the kids are really enjoying the program. We want to be united in the bayview. That is why this was appropriate this guy is the limit. The kids are already athletic, you know, they just need to learn the game. We have some potential collegebound kids, definitely. Today was the last practice of the season, and the sweetest moment was coming out here while , you know, we were setting up the barbecue and folding their uniforms, and looking out onto the field, and seven or eight of the kids were playing. This year we have first and second grade. We are going to expand to third, forth, and fifth grade next year bring them out and if you have middle school kids, we are starting a team for middle school. You know why . Why . Because we are . Bayview united. Thats right. My name is amanda [inaudible] over see the girls sports program.

I did receive a communication regarding the passing of an employee, doctor carlin. Dan was an enthusiastic team member who never lacked for a kind comment or word of encouragement. He made me feel welcome here immediately upon my arrival at this department and always sought to be helpful. Ive heard it said that dan is probably the few people we know who lived his life with vigor and had very few if any regrets. He was one of those people who could fit into any group and bring the fun do it. Almost everyone knew dan and dan certainly knew everyone. Living a great fun life was more important. He warned me about this on many occasions. Dan will be very much missed here in the carpentry shop where he spent time. So with that, i would ask that we adjourn the meeting today in his memory and turn it over that concludes my report. Clerk is there anyone who would like to make Public Comment under the president s report . Okay. Seeing none, this item is closed. Okay. We are now on item 3, the general managers report. Mr. President , commissioners, thank you for adjourning todays meeting in memory of dan. Dan was an extraordinary employee, part of our carpenter team. Dan was someone who had a smile that could light up a park, light up a room, light up a building. Incredible amount of love and invested an incredible amount of love and time for camp mather. About 1. 5 months ago, getting ready to open up for the season, dan led the charge to get it ready for the season. He worked up to 18 hours a day trying to get things done. And he did it with a smile because that was who he was. We spoke wi all i can say is that he will be missed and his memory will be a blessing for all of us. Turning over to more joyous topics, yesterday was play day. We were visited by over 1,000 kids, the large majority of which were our kids from the bayview, but we had kids from not just from our summer camps, but from nonprofits from all over the city who came for rides and games and activities. We opened up the pool. There was paddle boarded and kayaking and food paddle bore boards and kayaking and food and the pool. It couldnt do anything but put a smile on your face when it was there. So it was joyous, but seeing these kids outside, running around, being treated like kings and queens for a day was really something special. I want to thank lorraine banford who oversees these events every year, and it was really, really, really remarkable. Turning or moving from the bayview to the mission, i want to talk about ian chanka hall and its community garden. Presented by liveable city, the liveable awards honor individuals and institutions that have made contributions to San Franciscos liveability. The hall opened in june 2017. It brought much needed green space to a dense, diverse neighborhood that was searching for a welcoming communal space. It was literally a parking lot. A committed group of volunteers helped us to transform the Parks Community garden into an area representing neighbors from across the globe. The group hosts cultural events and grows produce often hard to find in local groceries. As you know, our Program Supports and manages a program of 40 Community Gardens and growing. We have a couple more on the horizon, where members can grow produce and cultivate ornamental plants for person use. Each is run by a committed group of volunteers. Moving back to the bayview, supervisor shaman walton joined local kids on a newly renovated Basketball Court for a game. Rec and park, as you know, has been making a significant investment in the southeast part of the city and specifically in district 10. I dont know over what period of time, but Capital Projects in district 10 right now total about 80 million, and the Operations Division alone has invested nearly 1 million in resurfacing projects in district 10. And since 2012, district 10 has received well over 40 million in philanthropy. So a lot of good things. Bayview playground, k. C. Jones is in the Construction Design phase. Youngblood coleman, you know quite a bit about india basin which is in the Concept Design phase, and a variety of other improvements beyond the court resurfacing projects are underway, so a lot of good things happening in the southeast sector of the city. All right. Lets turn to soccer. Fresh off the excitement of the u. S. National womens soccer teams stunning world cup victory in france earlier this month, we are proud to partner with street soccer u. S. A. And other agencies and nonprofits to bring two fields to the city for a summer of play. There are open field times for youth and adults. Theres organized team play.

I will be involved in two sessions, one creating Family Friendly downtowns, where ill be discussing our work at Civic Center Plaza and best practices for driving equitiable investment in parks, were really proud to be taking such a prominent role in this conference, and we will certainly report back next month. All right. We do have a brief bit of recognition before we conclude the report. It is National Recreation and park month, and so in celebration of National Park and recreation month, we want to give some recognition to an outstanding volunteer group. We really like to thank airbnb, who has become one of our most active and dedicated volunteer groups. Volunteers from airbnb over the past year have dedicated their time and energy to improving our park spaces and proving to be really traffic Community Members. Including at victoria manolo park, where 10 to 15 volunteers gather to cleanup the park. In total, airbnb volunteers have provided more than 2,200 hours of volunteer time in the last year alone, making them easily one of our most prolific volunteer groups. We have several of them here with us today, so mr. President , join me in offering a certificate to them and offering them an opportunity to say a quick word. Thank you, airbnb. [applause] good morning, everyone. Thank you so much for welcoming us here today. Were incredibly honored to be receiving this recognition, but really and truly, we want to thank you all for opening your doors to our volunteers and allowing us to support the wonderful park and Recreation Department that we see do amazing work every single day. I thank you all for creating space in the city thats accessible to everyone, and so really just want to be grateful to you all for creating that space for us to volunteer. A little bit more about our program. Each employee, a fulltime employee at airbnb has four hours a month to volunteer in our community, and we want to make sure that our employees have an opportunity to give back to the city that gives us all so much. So thank you all for the space, and i dont know if you have anything else to add. Keep volunteering. [applause] all right. Commissioners, we conclude with the video of the month before he you do, ryan, let me back to soccer. You see the Womens National team push for equity, but one of the real challenges in the sport of football or the sport of soccer in the u. S. That we face is the u. S. Soccer federation and all of us have to do a better job of exposing this game to communities of color, particularly african americans, making it more affordable, making it more accessible and more equitiable.
