5. Business
A. Discussion and Possible action: Checking in on Individual Commissioner Issues/Workplans
Hernandez led commissioners in a discussion of the various issues they have expressed interest in working on.
Quintero said she wants the committee to take a tour of one of HOPE SF sites.
Quesada said he was writing a resolution on the issue of the Sharp Park Golf course (which the commission has worked on in years past) and that he would present this resolution at the next full commission meeting.
All commissioners discussed the upcoming MUNI service changes.
B. Discussion and Possible action: Thinking about our upcoming community forum
Hernandez and staff led the committee in a conversation about the Recreation and Parks Department (RPD) and youth. Commissioners discussed: the two meetings where they heard a lot of public comment concerning the changes at the Rec Center in the SOMA, and also the things they like and don’t like about Rec Centers in San Francisco.
Commissioners came to the conclusion that youth input on Park and Rec decisions—especially those that relate to Rec Centers—is really important. At the conclusion of the conversation, commissioners concluded that maybe they would plan a hearing and/or community forum on this issue.
6. Adjournment
Hernandez adjourned the meeting at 6:50.
