SFGTV Government Access Programming July 13, 2024

Conversation. I want to thank the department odepartmentof building inspectir staff. They are amazing. This is not easy. Our office works very closely, particularly with tom. I want to reiterate we have the Disability Access fund, which we are working with small businesses, and we do work with small Property Owners who are financially challenged in achieving access. That is from in helping the Property Owners comply for those that have limited income and working with the businesses as well. I think it is, you know, we are still dealing with many Property Owners who have had properties for a long time, particularly in the commercial corridors that are still adjusting that they have a responsibility to comply, and i feel this ordinance as challenging as it has been, we need to remember that obligation is currently there both for the Property Owner and the accidents that occupies the space so we get the compliance done so legal liability is removed. Just wanted to say that. In terms of i want to caution on that this requirement could be something that helps keep a property vacant. If a Property Owner is not going to be leasing right away or keeping it off, this is the perfect time to make the remediation. I would encourage that message be given. It obviously makes their property a little more attractive. Just in terms of that messaging. I am happy to answer any questions that you may have. Thank you very much for coming out. No other Public Comment. We need to have a motion on this item. Is there a vote on the item . No, i dont believe so. It was informational. I believe the ordinance has been introduced. You can remember or not you can recommend. It is a mixed decision if they want to memorialize that. It has been heard and considered to move forward. We didnt get any information other than being updated by bill. We are not here to prove or disapprove the extension. I think it is really your choice. We wanted to bring it to your attention so that you could take action on it if you want to support the idea be hired the additional time or you can wait until in january when we will be going through the regular hearing process on this, and then we will bring it back at that time. Thank you. Based on the fact it tells them, you know, out there right now i support the bill to extend the timeframe. If you want a motion that we do support an extension. I would support it. There is a lot of buzz. The department should keep Going Forward and do the outreach and encourage the Property Owners and shopkeepers to submit the checklist so we know what is going on. If somebody would make a motion. I will make a motion and i will support it. Second . Second. I will do a roll call vote. roll call . Thank you. That motion carries manley. Eye carries unanimously.

Do we know if he is trying to make it more stringent or less. I understand that he is expanding the a. D. U. Base to be less stringent. I dont know if our own board of supervisors is fully on board about that. I did hear some questions raised and they were talking to assembly man king about it. I dont know where that is now.

We are adjourned. It is 12 30 p. M. [ ] 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. This is the recreation and Park Commission meeting, november 21, 2019. We welcome everyone.

An incident on november 9th involving a gardiner and public trainee and one of the park rangers left two of the three with minor injuries they are recuperating from. It is a reminder that the parks are not immune from the larger problems the city faces.
