Upper Douglass dog park hours to be voted on by RecPark Commission Thursday. (Nearby neighbors want reduced hours, dog walkers want less or no reduction. There seems to have been exactly zero public outreach from RecPark.)
The BOS Rules Committee will meet Monday, June 17, 10:00 a.m., in City Hall, room 263. Agenda
- Again, there are several major proposals worth following here, though none directly GP-related: establishing a commission to oversee the Dept of Homelessness and Supportive Housing, create a fund to buy homes for communal living for the mentally ill, and a ballot measure for a fund for universal mental health care in SF. You’ll find them all under the 30-day section. The last item has been in the news a lot because sponsors Haney and Ronen haven’t really determined the cost or identified a reliable funding stream. Like bad budgeters, they go with the lowest estimate to suit their needs and propose new set-aside taxes (on their favorite demon, tech). Would be nice to see these things thought through more carefully.
