[ applause ]. Thank you. President buell were very fortunate in that ashley was legislative aide to supervisor katie tang and she worked in the Mayors Office and was a past member of prozak and even did some work for the recreation and Park Department in the past. So weve got a real pro and we welcome her aboard. She has very big shoes to fill. On that note this is probably margarets last meeting here, but were going to drag her back at a future meeting and acknowledge her in a way thats appropriate to all the service that she gave. But i welcome one and shed a tear for the other. That concludes my report. Thank you. Clerk is there any Public Comment . President buell there better not. Clerk seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Item 3, general managers report. General manager ginsburg this is the summer recap of the general managers report, which is sad to say. Its been a terrific summer so im going to run through some highlights starting with an outside lands wrapup. This past weekend the 12th annual outside lands Music Festival descended on golden gate park. The threeday festival featured 80 local restaurants, 46 breweries, yes, a grasslands, and was headlined this here by 21 pilots, the illuminate years and paul simon. Perhaps the biggest act of the weekend, separate and apart from paul simon was Donald Glover, Danny Glovers son, headlining saturday in front of the largest singleday crowd in the phils history in one of the very last performances of Donald Glovers hiphop career. So Donald Glover is an actor who took on the persona of Childish Gambino and became a remarkably successful musician. Paul simon closed out the festival bringing local legend and Founding Member of the grateful dead bob weir onto the stage to play the boxer. The last one was songs of silence which the neighbors were happy about. As has been reported, paul simon is generously donating all his net proceeds for this show to local environmental organizations. The San Francisco parks and lands is going to reinvest that donation into our golden gate 150th celebration next year. Over the past decade outside lands has contributed over 3 million a year to support Department Operations and this years total was 3. 6 million. With an additional 115,000 given to our Scholarship Program through a what they call later lands, a Charity Concert that they do later in the evening, where the proceeds go to our Scholarship Program. Then on top of that, another pot pays a salary of a fulltime gardner and contributes over 15,000 a year to upgrade and repairs where the area is held. On top of all of that they cover all of the overtime related costs to the event. I want to thank another planet and their partners, super fly. They do a fabulous job. They take stewardship of the park very serious. This year we know there were some heightened security issues, and i want to thank another planet for really going the absolute extra mile to make sure people felt safe and on top of that. A big thank you to the San FranciscoPolice Department and our San Francisco park rangers and the department of Emergency Management that did an extraordinary job. I want to thank Marissa Rodriguez from the office of cannabis for her leadership. This was the first event in United States history where it was not cannabis specific, where cannabis was legally sold and legally consumed. That required a heck of a lot of work. The space was space and well managed. Overall, we had it was a very healthy festival. There were no serious incidents. We had our usual medical calls, none of them related to grasslands. So it was a really good job. All of the agencies coordinated incredibly well. Also m. T. A. Also a special thanks for my own team which works really, really hard from deana and her team on the permit side to our park ranger division. Then of course our Park Maintenance teams, our golden gate Park Maintenance team, structural maintenance yard, everybody contributes to make sure that this event is well managed and safe and fun and joyous, which it was this year. Big thank you to all. This week also marks the end of another summer camp season. Just so you know the scope of our summer camp programs. 600 weeks of camp were offered this summer, with more than 15,000 registrants. More than 22,000 participants in summer programming overall, which includes adults and noncamp use activities. Over 1200 participants received scholarships this summer, totalling over 75 of 1 million. 1100 of those participants were in summer day camps. So we were we worked very hard to make sure that everyone had an opportunity to get out and play. Camp matter is going smoothly this summer. Summer is also a really important Workforce Development moment for us. This is when we get to hire, we get to hire kids, transitional aged youth, we participated in the mayors opportunities for all program. Just in recreation alone we hired 432 people this summer, including 72 folks up at camp matter and also 200 teenagers to help us with our camps. So a huge thank you to the hire entire recreation staff. I dont think any of them are here because theyre working and exhausted, but another job really well done. Also during since weve last been together, representatives from the San Francisco recreation and Parks Department attended the city parks aalliances greater and greener Parks Alliance joining parks organizations from around the globe in denver, colorado. There were over 200 cities represented at this conference from over 40 states and from 11 different countries. All gathering, all urban park professionals. The conference focused on six tracts, activating parks through urban recreation, city parks essentials, equity, funding, parks infrastructure, and urban greening and biodiversity. I was very, very proud of you should be very proud of our departments role in this conference. They led multiple sessions on topics ranging from park accessibility, to lowincome families, to engaging children with nature. We certainly look forward to taking what we learned at this conference and applying it to our own parks. I want to thank the city Parks Alliance and denver parks and Recreation Department for just being wonderful, wonderful hosts. Also this summer you may recall our San Francisco bay socks which is the largest allgirls Baseball Program anywhere. This past month our 9 and under and 13 and under San Francisco bay socks allgirls baseball teams participated in the fifth annual baseball for all National Girls baseball tournament. The tournament which has grown from 150 to 350 participants, ages 7 to 18, since inception took place in rockford, illinois, the home of the original rockford peaches of the original baseball league. Both of our teams placed in third place in the country in their respective divisions with the 9 and under team beating the los angeles monarchs and the 13 and under team beating boston. If you arent going to win the thing, at least we beat l. A. And boston. These are talented Baseball Players and we look forward to following their budding baseball careers throughout high school and beyond.

[ ] [ ] if you havent been there, commissioners and members of the public, the Basketball Court is truly extraordinary and i hope it becomes a model for what we do all over the city. I do want to thank the Kevin Durant Charity foundation. He may be a brooklyn net, but his legacy lives on and he was very committed to our community during his time in the bay area. Were very grateful to him and airbnb and again to my own team for managing an extraordinary project. That concludes the general managers report. President buell let me add on behalf of the commission to congratulation our general manager. The governor has appointed him to the state parks commission, and were very proud of you, fill. General manager ginsburg thank you. [ applause ]. Clerk is there any Public Comment on the general managers report . Good morning, commissioners. I just [ indiscernible ] our honorable state commissioner Phil Ginsburg has said. I wanted to comment on the kd 35 and the charity foundation. Before that after all that paint and everything else, i had sent him an email and he put my name down and [ indiscernible ] 1. 7 k. I thanked him for the donation and he and his partner, whoever that guy was, he looked like he was going to be okay. He jumped out of that Swimming Pool and he was all moving around and the pictures that i got from him so i thought that i would like to have that. That was from kd 35, his own page on facebook, and thats about there was Something Else i wanted to talk about. It had to do with 1 million or seven figures over that cannabis sale at outlands concert. I dont think phil had said anything about it. Thats a lot of money. I dont know what the park percentage is, but there was a lot more money. My brother lives out in that area. He screams about me all the time about it. I think that money is going to a good cause. Thank you. Thank you. Clerk any other Public Comment . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Were now on item number 4, general Public Comment up to 15 minutes.

At this time, members of the public may address the commission on items of interest to the public that are within the subject matter jurisdiction of the commission and that do not appear on the agenda. With respect to agenda items, you will have opportunity to address the commission when the item is reached in the meeting. I have three blue cards. Jude, planary, and maureen. Overhead, please. Im jude dekenorf with friends of the park. Before that i wanted to thank you with your support of outside lands. It was fantastic. A huge thank you to phil and staff. Right on, you guys knocked it out of the park. Ive been going every year since it started. So many moving parts and you made it look easy. It was clean every morning when i got there. Thank you for your support. Im sure ill be fan girling again. Now im going to talk about jackson. So my understanding that people from the community have been coming to give support of our project, and basically what the community is looking for is jackson to be identified on the next bond and to receive full funding so we can do our renovation all in one phase in order to serve our Current Community and our friends moving in. Just to acclimate you all. Here is jackson. Here is jean friends. Here is mission rec. Here is pretreoro rec center. That is half a mile from jackson and up a steep hill. This is the most recent one from the planning commission. So as you can see, we have a lot of people moving in. East side is the place to be or at least the place to build, and were looking for support for our parks on that side also. To that end i would just like to make sure that you know we have a signed m. O. U. With recs and parks. We hope to bring our plan for renovation hopefully to you soon. Right now were focused on advocating for as much allocation of the money, both city and private, to this project. You might be hearing from more people. I just wanted to let you know. Also to invite you, september 14 is a very popular day for partying in the park. You want to see what all the fuss is it doesnt show up, sorry. Were having a play in your park party on september 14. Were working with the Mayors Office, the Police Department, the warriors, our neighborhood businesses and community groups. Were having socials and games. Were going to have a popup dog park in carolina street. Were hoping that mr. Ginsburg will be there also. We invite all of you to come out and see what the fuss is about. Our historic clubhouse will be open. We would like to see you there. Thank you. President buell thank you. Clerk next speaker. Good morning, im maureen mcvary here on behalf of the friends of jackson park. This time i thought id wear my heart on my chest. I am here asking that the full park remodel plan proposed and created by the friends of jackson park, with preinput and collaboration with the officials at park and rec and the community beyond the parkland measure. Two months at this meeting i believe there was a discussion at that meeting regarding how the parks on the bond were chosen. Has that been discussed further and communicated to the public . Im interested in that answer. To me its a simple decision to say yes to the full remodelled park. I ask you as a fellow citizen to drive over to our hood and witness the changes we have endured and are enduring. I previously lived in north beach. Right away i noticed how our park was not served. Our streets were really hard on your cars suspension and we were almost ignored. Since 1984 thanks to your energy bringing bands and things to the park, many of the parks have been improved tremendously. Mclaren park and all the rest and now its our turn. I want to understand how parks are chosen for the 2020 bond. I ask for support for the full and complete remodel. With your one step this approval from you will propel Community Involvement in the passage of the bond in 2020. Dont forget us. You need our energy and we need to be heard. Lastly, i thank you for your service. I know as humans we tend to stay in our own Little Pocket, but as a steward to the parks and Rec Department and a voice for all of us in this city, i ask you, i implore you, and
