From: Supervisor Newsom
To: Director, Department of Building Inspection
Requesting/Inquiring: To provide a report detailing information
regarding the status of those residential hotel rooms that have been
lost by fire. Specifically, the report should include the date of the
fire, the number of rooms damaged, the status of refurbishing these
rooms and the timeline for completion, and the obstacles preventing
timely restoration.
From: Supervisor Newsom
To: General Manager, Recreation and Park Department
Requesting/Inquiring: Follow up to letter sent from the Board of
Supervisors last season regarding the Gay Softball League, in which
the following concerns were raised: (1) chalking of the fields (Reportedly
this service occurs only 50% of the time.); (2) access to and condition
of bathrooms (Reportedly, bathrooms were locked approximately 35% of
the time. Also of concern: cleanliness of bathrooms, toilet paper and
other paper supplies, working lights, homeless persons sleeping in the
hallways.); (3) access to the fields (Reportedly, the gates were locked
and players had to either climb over or crawl under the fence.); (4)
access to Recreation and Park personnel on the weekend, when most games
are played. Further updating the previous season’s letter with new queries
through the League. Specifically, can you confirm the report that only
one field was open for playing softball this past weekend, leading to
picking of locks, the threat of cutting locks with a bolt-cutter, and
players crawling through a hole in the fence in order to have access
to the fields? What is the Department doing to change this situation?
Two fields in particular were mentioned: Kimball and Lang Fields.

| Meeting Procedures
|
| |
| The Board of Supervisors
is the Legislative Body of the City and County of San Francisco. The Board
considers ordinances and resolutions, most of which have been the subject
of hearings before the standing committees of the board at which members
of the public are urged to testify. The full Board does not hold a second
public hearing on measures which have been heard in committee. Board procedures
do not permit persons in the audience to vocally express support or opposition
to statements by Supervisors or by other persons testifying. Thus applause
and booing are both contrary to Board requirements. The Board does not
permit signs to be brought into the meeting or displayed in the room.
Citizens are encouraged to testify at Board hearings and to write letters
to the Board and to its members, City Hall, 1 Dr. Carlton B. Goodlett
Place, Room 244, San Francisco, CA 94102. Agenda are available on the
internet at www.ci.sf.ca.us/bdsupvrs.bos.htm. THE AGENDA PACKET IS AVAILABLE
FOR REVIEW AT CITY HALL, ROOM 244, RECEPTION DESK. Board meetings are
televised on channel 26. For video tape copies and scheduling call (415)
557-4293. Results of each Board meeting can be obtained about a half hour
after the end of the meeting by telephoning (415) 554-5555. Requests for
foreign language translation at a meeting must be received by the Clerk
of the Board of Supervisors at least 48 hours before the meeting. For
meetings on a Monday or a Tuesday, the request must be made by noon of
