Thank you, madam chair and thank you, colleagues for hearing this i move we forward to the full board with a positive recommendation motion made that motion carries unanimously madam clerk item 2. The property open a parcel two known and a as admission park. We have from the supervisor kims office and presenting on this item. Thank you chair cohen and Land Use Committee im april i will have very, very brief comments today as to what is before you but that is formal acceptance to accept Mission Bay Park as many of you may know a new and emerging neighborhood a former Redevelopment Area with many, many new families and children and many of the families have been anxious to have this park opened this is an important step in that process to have the city accept the park on behalf of ocii and Mission Street Mission Bay Park it is also be a unique park for totes to schoolaged children i just want to thank supervisor president london breed who is waved the regular thirty days and knowingly for switzerland this is a Committee Report so we could have the ordinance passed and so that the park can open i also, we do have one amendment to the legislation that i believe supervisor peskin will move and that is to make the operative date july 1st when this park will open i believe that dpw is here if any other questions from the committee thank you. Supervisor peskin. Oh, supervisor wiener. Yes. Just a question to i guess the supervisor kims officer who is going to be operating 24 as a park but my understanding not a rec and park who is going to be managing and running this. Yes. Barbara from dpw in the mission bay Redevelopment Area from the Redevelopment Area that will be maintained and managed by the Mission Bay Park because i believe that it is go m j m will be managing the park. Good afternoon barbara from public works at the m j m under contract to ocii and the management parks through a funding mechanism that will help those parks stay alive and vigorous. Why is not rec and park involved here. This is been the way theyve been managed for at last 15 years it was a redevelopment ear and to be managed by the agency it is up for discussion ocii vufrn will be dissolved. Okay i know there is concern has been expressed to me and this is ive never received a briefing on this and needed to have every item on the agenda i know that there is some concerns i think rec and park learned about this or they starting to be briefed like last week and my understanding m j m is terrific and it is we have a rec and Park Department and everyone assumes all of our parks are under in their jurisdiction but parks not under their jurisdiction i think that brings some challenges along with that. It as solid polarizing discussion that should be continued. Agreed . Okay. Ill, curious to know what the authors i dont want to put you on the spot. Staff from ocii is here if they want to address that. Just because there is several former Redevelopment Areas and current ocii areas in our district most of the park activities within those areas are managed through m j m or some similar i think actually m j m the one off the top of my head is the yerba buena gardens a similar structure as well as the coming transbay park in the transbay area and all of the parks within mission bay of which there are several also have the similar structure where ocii continues to hold the park while the Management Company m j m manages and maintains it. Supervisor mark with ocii i dont know all the legislation process but the way that ocii and mission bay has their parks they have appendixes has a lease with the city and the department of real estate and from that they hire m j m to manage all the parks and ocii is still responsible for the park area i know there is discussions at a higher level with any Deputy Director has been talking about with people. Whenever he get an express of questions from rec and park how properties will be managed i think there are briefed and i just a little bit confused with the city family is not necessarily i hate that phrase but for reference not on the same page i dont ive im a little bit confused by that. I dont expect you to answer. There have been discussions but discussions with rec and park and theyve been talking with the director my director about the future. Okay. Im sorry i dont have more. This is a Committee Report. Yes. Is there something magic will tomorrow as opposed to to the efficiently or. We can open up for Public Comment i think corin wants to speak. I do have an amendment it is a very similar amendment on page 5 that speaks to the length of time it is actually taken to open that facility im proposing on behalf of the chief sponsor supervisor kim to add a section 5 that with read the action so forth in the ordinance and section 3 with the acceptance of p6 and ocii maintenance should be open active as july 1st but that speaks to the fact this has taken quite a bit and the subject of many details i actually asked a similar question that supervisor wiener is asking of dpw staff thats why this is not entitled up to rec and park and i maybe coming at 2 from a slightly different reason he actually think that Going Forward as we create those new parks in expanding the areas the city they should be parks under the jurisdiction of rec and park which is subject to the voter approved mandate proposition k with shadow impacts im interested in over the long term having a policy discussions about transferring this to the rec and Park Department but given the evolution of mission bay given the fact that there are many people that have been parkinsons waiting for this dpw is still in the process of accepting streets around that park that have to not think pubically accepted the scheme proposed by the staff ocii and dpw is one that im prepared to move forward that didnt in any way preinclude us from working with rec and park and ocii and dpw to add a transfer to rec and park although i have to say i know there many residents that are worried about rec and park ability to properly manage the facility and given their funding and other constraints with that section id like to move the amendment and respectfully accepted this forward as a Committee Report to get this park open for people moving into many part of town. Did you read into and i read it was that simple. Thank you for those comments which seem very reasonable and appropriated to make i appreciate that clarification. All right. Thank you supervisor wiener and supervisor peskin lets go forward and open up for Public Comment at this time if you like to come up i have one card from corinne woods join us for 2 minutes at the podium. Good afternoon chair cohen and supervisor wiener and supervisor peskin my name is corinne woods i chair the corinne woods chair of the San Francisco redevelopment agencys Mission Bay Citizens Advisory Committee and have been working very hard for a 4r07b9 with the community to get this park open and want to thank supervisor kims office and the ocii staff and barbara mirrors Infrastructure Task force for pulling this altogether nothing in mission bay is simple there are 17 agencies that have to sign off on everything it is extremely frustrating as is every acceptance in anybody to watch hundreds of children looking at park from the outdoor i really appreciate your waving the waiting period on this and i dont quite understand supervisor peskin amendment does that mean 2 will wave the thirty day after enaction time and open by i up by the end of july im having a party youre invited weve planted it waiting to get the park open on a larger issue of Park Management the community has some definite opinion about the future and very much like to speak to you all or any that are interested in hearing how we feel about this transition thank you. If i could ask thank you for your advocacy and incredible work in mission bay is there any supervisor peskin reverend brown a concern about whether rec and park has the resources to care for the parks has that been a discussion about who is ultimately managing. Theres been a significant discussion where weve been working with ocii for a couple of years the communities facilities district that funds the Mission Bay Park is the money actively is controlled by office of citizen complaints has to defervesced itself by the order of state department of finance were hoping that we can workout Something Like the yerba buena gardens is not going to go to reply workplace r rec and park we dont want the money entering 34igd and putting together a nonprofit that has Community Stakeholder involvement in the management of the parks were happy with the m j m management they do an excellent job with the janitorial security and Park Maintenance in general and we want to be sure this doesnt get become an ugly sanborn map Child Mission bay has a very vetted interest to insure that works well, after ocii goes away the community is very engaged and would be happy to speak you to about that. Thank you, ms. Woods. Any other members that want to speak on this item seeing none, Public Comment is closed. At this time thank you all right. Supervisor wiener i spoke from before. Thank you to supervisor kims office for bringing this before us to the corin thank you for being an advocate on this item colleagues a motion agenda ed. Ultimately move the amendment.

Can i comment first of all, thank you supervisor peskin for answering some of the questions and ms. Woods for answering some questions as well obviously this a terrific project and i think ill support moving forward with a with a positive recommendation im glad there are conversations going on Long Term Health manage those parks relative to what supervisor peskin said about questions whether rec and park has the resources to manage those parks for the other 200 and 20 Park Properties it manages that is really a statement about how we as a how this building has starved our park system and really, really frankly even with the copies it passes our rec and park is valve under resources and a sad state of affairs how theyll have the resources to take care of additional parks it is just that shouldnt be are factor we need to make sure our parks have the support they need and that includes expanded parks i know that conversation will continue and obviously is a broader policy discussion around the whole set of parks thanks.
