Before
we
proceed
with
that
Tom
Lehrer,
some
of
you
know-
and
some
of
you
don't
know.
Last
week
he
had
surgery
on
his
right
leg
to
improve
the
circulation
and
he
came
home
a
week
later,
so
he
just
arrived
home
on
Monday,
so
he's
home
recuperating
and
on
his
feet.
I
expect
him
at
our
next
meeting,
he's
a
he's
a
diehard
there.
So
we're
wishing
you
well,
we
think
of
you
often
Tom
and
hurry
back
soon.
Okay,
so
first
item
on
our
agenda
is
our
favorite
time
of
year.
A
It
is
we
we'll
jump
to
a
new
business
G
the
present
presentation
of
the
community
recognition
award
and
this
recognition
award
we
give
out
every
year-
and
it's
usually
too
I
mean
it's
always
to
a
san
bruno
resident.
Who
is
deserving
of
recognition
for
all
the
hard
work
and
dedication
and
volunteer
work
that
they
have
demonstrated
and
to
start
it
off,
we
will
go
to
Jeff
Madonna
CH.
F
Good
evening,
madam
chair
and
commissioners
I'm
delighted
to
be
here
this
evening
in
order
to
introduce
a
very
special
guest
and
also
to
celebrate
her
significant
contribution
to
our
community,
the
Redwood
remembrance
retreat
in
buckeye
Park
was
conceived
by
Norma
Griffith
as
part
of
her
citywide
volunteer.
Reforestation
project
called
three
times
five.
F
The
mission
of
this
organization
was
to
replace
trees
uprooted
by
developers
and
the
california
highway
division
in
a
ratio
of
five
trees
planted
for
every
tree
removed.
The
Redwood
remembrance
retreat
was
planted
and
dedicated
in
1970
in
honor
of
California
veterans
of
the
Vietnam
War,
thanks
to
Norma's,
ambitious
vision
and
tireless
efforts.
What
started
out
as
a
planting
of
25
small
Coast
redwoods
flourishes
today
as
a
grove
of
towering
Giants
well
in
excess
of
100
feet
tall
that
provides
a
natural
cathedral
for
those
seeking
to
enjoy
the
solitude
peace
and
hope
that
we
all
need.
F
G
Would
like
to
say
thank
you
very
much
to
all
of
you
and
my
feelings
are
that
of
Marcel
Proust.
If
I
may
quote
him,
he
said,
let
us
be
thankful
for
people
who
make
us
happy.
They
are
the
charming
gardeners
who
make
our
souls
blossom,
and
you
certainly
have
done
that
now.
If
you
indulge
me,
please
I'm,
not
a
public
speakers.
You
can
imagine.
I,
would
like
my
son
to
speak
and
read
a
response
to
your
wonderful,
wonderful
credit
that
you've
given
me.
Thank
you
so
much
stepping
many
people
involved,
but.
E
I'd
like
to
thank
you
and
thank
you,
madam
commissioner,
and
then
chair
and
the
commissioners
and
I'm
going
to
read
the
statement
for
my
mother
and
I
would
like
to
convey
my
heartfelt
gratitude
to
mr.
Jeff
Madonna
CH,
first
for
nominating
me
and
all
of
the
commissioners
who
either
voted
for
me
or
approved
the
votes,
as
well
as
all
the
kind
voters
behind
the
scenes.
I
am
truly
thankful
for
and
honoured
by
this
award
and
to
be
thus
recognized.
E
For
decades
ago,
I
conceived
a
tree
x,
5
a
reforestation
project
intended
to
replace
at
a
ratio
of
521
trees,
cut
down
by
developers
in
the
highway
division
in
san
bruno.
The
centerpiece
of
this
effort
was
the
planning
of
25
coast,
redwood
sempervirens,
which
now
stand
dozens
of
feet
tall
as
they
guard
the
redwood
remembrance
retreat
at
buckeye
grove
park
and
crestmore
at
the
time.
E
Although
my
heart
and
soul
went
into
everything
for
planning
to
pavement
on
behalf
of
this
enterprise,
none
of
it
would
have
been
possible
without
the
contributions
of
San,
Bruno's,
wonderful
people,
my
beloved
husband
Richard,
who
composed
the
plaque
inscription.
My
son
Steve
and
countless
san
bruno
park
department
staff
who
selflessly
entire
lessly
devoted
hours
of
their
own
time
to
this
natural
cathedrals.
Realization,
while
I
am
deeply
appreciative
of
this
award.
E
A
A
So
this
is
for
all
of
us
to
to
see
it,
and
then
this
is
something
for
you
and
it
says:
San
Bruno,
Parks
and
Recreation
Commission
community
recognition
award
presented
to
Norma
Griffith
for
your
commitment
to
the
community
of
san
bruno
stated
april,
twentieth
two
thousand
eleven.
So
thank
you
so
much.
A
That's
one
of
the
reasons
we're
all
here:
yes,
Dave
Norma.
B
I've
known
you,
since
nineteen
fifty-nine,
I
worked
with
your
husband
Richard
in
the
post
office
when
I
was
going
to
college
and
I
met
you
and
you
have
been
a
delight
for
our
community
of
fellow
crestmore
resident.
You
do
besides
this
project.
You
do
so
many
things
in
the
community
in
a
quiet,
wonderful
way
and
I
just
admire
everything
you
do
and
I
look
forward
because
Norma
is
my
pole
officer
when
I
go
to
vote
and
I
always
look
forward
to
seeing
her
at
that
site
on
rosewood.
I.
Congratulate
you
and
I'm
delighted.
G
A
Love
it
thank
you
for
bringing
us
copies
of
your
response.
Thank
you
and
Norma.
You
are
very
tall
you're
taller
than
the
redwood
tree.
I,
almost
don't
want
to
move
on.
Okay
and
you're
welcome
to
stay
or
leave.
If
you
wish.
So,
let's
go
on
to
the
top
of
our
agenda,
then
unfinished
business.
The
committee
projects,
the
commissioners
report,
did
everyone
get
a
chance
to?
Oh
right,
oh
thank
you.
Okay,
I
skipped
another
part
out.
We
have
minutes
from
our
last
meeting.
I
got
so
excited
with
Norman
minutes
from
our
last
meeting.
A
A
C
A
H
You
the
project,
is
moving
along
at
its
own
special
speed
at
this
time.
The
next
step
is
for
it
to
be
presented
to
council.
The
check-in
is,
is
for
staff
to
have
a
better
handle
on
the
estimated
construction
costs
and
obtain
counsel
feedback
about
how
much
parking
Luffy's
they
may
be
willing
to
spend
that'll
help
them
create
a
target
amount
dollar
amount
for
the
city's
fundraising
efforts.
H
H
A
I
Just
update
everybody,
we
do
have
pledges
for
about
fifteen
hundred
dollars
towards
lighting
system
at
the
dog
park.
The
lowest
priced
option
we
looked
at
was
three
thousand
dollars,
so
we're
halfway
there
and
and
the
letter
was
sent
out
to
people
who
came
to
the
Commission
in
the
past
couple
of
years.
I'm
talking
about
the
dog
park.
The
memo
was
also
posted
on
the
fence
of
the
dog
park,
so
we
are
open
to
other
donors,
but
as
of
yet
we
have
not
received
any
after
the
initial
$1,500.
A
So
this
is
in
steps
to
improve
our
dog
park
area.
We
want
to
get
lights
in
there
for
the
people
late
at
night
or
actually
when
it
goes
early,
gets
dark
about
five
o'clock
and
they
can
still
walk
their
pets
after
so
we're
really
looking
to
get
lights
at
the
dog
park.
If
anybody
wish
to
contribute
just
contact
the
Park
and
Rec
Department,
okay
and
then
the
next
item
on
our
agenda
is
addressing
the
pedestrian
crosswalk
in
front
of
the
recreation
center.
Do
you
have
an
update
on
on
that
for
us
Randy
yeah.
I
This
is
an
item
that
Commissioner
is
the
amity,
have
brought
to
our
attention
a
safety
issue
in
front
of
the
recreation
center
immediately
in
front
of
the
recreation
center
moving
into
city
park.
The
originally
there
was
an
extra
placard
coming
from
both
directions
that
cautioned
people
as
they
came
into
the
intersection
they
needed
to
stop
for
pedestrians
during
the
repaving
project.
The
placard
was
removed
and
not
replaced
because
the
commissioners
amt
have
brought
to
our
attention
a
few
months
ago.
It
has
been
reinstalled
but
there's
still
question
about.
I
Can
the
area
become
more
safe
and
so
Recreation
Services
Manager,
Danielle,
Brewer
and
I
met
with
representatives
from
Community,
Services,
Department,
I'm,
sorry
from
public
services
department,
and
they
are
still
going
to
be
looking
at
different
options
for
the
intersection,
possibly
switching
the
yellow
zone
in
front
with
the
blue
zone,
to
see,
if
that's
possible
or
other
options,
and
they
will
work
through
the
traffic
engineers
department.
So
it's
still
ongoing
and
we
will
report
back
to
you
more
at
the
next
meeting.
Okay,.
A
Under
communications,
do
we
have
any
communications
that
we've
received?
Nobody
all
right,
let's
move
on
then
public
comment.
If
anybody
in
the
audience
would
like
to
address
the
Commission,
now
is
a
time
seeing
nothing
there
under
G
we
have
new
business,
the
first,
the
second
one
is
the
preview
of
the
summer,
2011
programs
and
I.
Believe
we
have
a
video
presentation.
We.
C
D
D
Actually
spring
camp
is
going
on
and
we
have
25
kids
at
the
Rec
Center,
who
are
engaging
in
various
fun
activities
with
that
we're
gearing
up
for
a
new
after-school
program
at
Allen's
school,
which
is
our
aces
program,
the
after
school
education
safety
program,
which
is
actually
it
has
been
brought
forth
by
a
grant
that
Allen
school
did
receive
and
so
I've
been
hiring
enrichment
instructors.
Homework
tutors
more
rec
leaders
to
provide
actually
put
this
program
on,
and
we
have
about.
D
Eighty
five
children
right
now
signed
up
for
the
program
with
a
max
of
100
so
and
that
starts
on
Tuesday
and
also
we
have
summer
camp
coming
around
the
corner
here
and
of
course,
it's
going
to
be
for
three
and
a
half
to
13
year
olds
and
we
usually
have
about
100
75
campers
a
week
and
we're
currently
accepting
registration
for
that
and
yeah.
So
we're
going
to
show
you
a
highlight
from
last
summer
of
a
nice
little
video
just
once
again
demonstrating
at
what
we
do
at
camp.
D
C
D
So
we'd
like
to
incorporate
themes
each
week
and
I
believe
this
one
week
was
community
week,
and
so
we
had
the
police
and
fire
department
can
okay.
So
here
are
our
camp
kaleidoscope,
campers
ages,
six
through
ten
and
various
scenes
of
learning
how
to
play
different
sports
at
the
pool,
darts
and
crafts.
Special
events
as
well.
D
C
Is
due
so.
D
So
that's
that's
at
the
boardwalk
Santa
Cruz
engaging
in
a
special
event
here,
so
making
pizza
over
I
believe
that
extreme
pizza
here
in
San
Bruno,
so
there
this
age
group
they
like
to
go
off-site
a
lot,
whether
it's
local
field,
trips
or
field
trips,
far
further
away.
So
here
here
we
go.
Some
of
our
special
events
beat
the
heat
or
water
carnival
day
we
bring
in
big
water,
jumpers
long
slip
and
slides
made
I
just
throw
down
the
tarp
and
throw
some
soap
and
water,
and
there
you
go
american
idol
and
our
leaders.
C
D
J
D
D
A
C
F
Wanted
to
share
with
you
an
overview
of
our
tree
program
in
san
bruno,
and
I
think
the
most
important
component
is
that
we're
fortunate
fortunate
enough
to
live
in
a
community
that
understands
the
value
and
benefits
of
trees
and
also
demonstrates
a
commitment
towards
improving
our
urban
forest.
San
bruno
has
been
acknowledged
by
the
National
Arbor
Day
Foundation
for
the
last
six
years
as
a
tree
city
USA.
F
If
you'll
notice
on
the
the
overhead
slide
less
than
half
the
city's
in
San,
Mateo
County
have
been
so
noticed,
so
it's
I
think
it's
an
accomplishment
that
we're
proud
of,
and
therefore
standards
that
the
city
has
to
meet
and
maintain.
In
order
to
get
this
recognition,
the
city
must
have
a
tree
board
or
Department.
F
They
must
have
a
community
forestry
program
with
an
annual
budget
of
at
least
two
dollars
per
capita.
You
must
have
an
arbor
Day
observance
and
Proclamation,
and
finally,
they
must
have
a
tree
care
ordinance
and
it
just
as
a
point
of
clarification.
I
just
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
tree
ordinances
in
San
burner.
We
have
two
different
types
of
tree
ordinances,
the
first
one
being
a
street
tree
ordinance
street
trees,
AR
trees
that
are
planted,
maintained
and
removed
solely
by
the
city.
F
Typically,
street
trees
are
located
in
the
areas
where
there's
a
planting
strip
between
the
sidewalk
in
the
street.
The
trees
are
located
within
that
planting
strip
in
other
sections
of
the
town
of
the
city
in
the
upper
west
end
where
there
are
no
planting
strips,
the
trees
are
generally
planted
in
the
front
yard
within
three
to
five
feet
from
the
end
of
the
sidewalk
into
the
front
yard.
C
F
There
are,
there
are
thresholds
that
that
you
used
to
measure
the
tree
to
see
if
it's
a
protected
tree
or
not,
generally
speaking,
a
tree
at
at
chest
height
if
it's,
if
it's
greater
than
6
inches
in
diameter,
and
if
you
want
to
do
any
pruning
or
removing
of
the
tree,
you
need
to
to
obtain
a
permit
from
the
city,
and
all
this
information
is
is
on
the
city
website.
We
have
a
lot
of
good
information
if
you
go
to
the
city
website
under
parks,
department
and
then
click
on
tree
information.
F
There's
a
lot
of
helpful
information
there
in
terms
of
the
ordinances
we
have
tree
lists
to
help
people
choose
appropriate
trees
for
their
for
their
properties
and
such
and
it
tells
you
how
how
to
go
about
getting
help
from
us.
If
you
need
it,
we
really
like
to
take
a
proactive
approach
to
meeting
our
tree
management
goals
and
I
just
like
to
go
over
three
of
our
really
our
big
goals.
F
With
a
little
bit
of
explanation,
the
first
goal
is
to
preserve
the
existing
trees
and
we
accomplish
that
by
following
the
international
society
of
our
borough
cultures.
Best
management
practices,
for
example,
with
street
trees,
all
street
trees
and
cembran
are
inspected
and
pruned
on
a
once
in
every
four
years
cycle.
So
the
city
is
divided
into
four
quadrants,
which
ones
one
section
getting
attention
each
year,
and
it
revolves
to
the
next
section
and
to
give
you
to
give
an
example
of
what
that
translates
to
in
numbers.
F
Over
the
past
five
years,
we've
averaged
pruning
420
28
trees
per
year,
and
then
our
second
goal
is
we
really
want
to
plant
more
trees
than
we
remove
to
just
just
to
embellish
our
urban
forest
again
taking
figures
over
the
last
five
years.
On
an
average
per
year,
we've
planted
102
trees
per
year
and
removed
85
trees
per
year.
F
So
we're
meeting
that
goal
and
then
closely
related
to
the
planting
more
trees
and
we
remove
the
other
really
important
component
is
that
the
right
tree
is
chosen
for
the
right
location
and
then
we're
totally
willing
to
help
people
with
their
private
trees
also.
But
we
really
have
to
be
conscious
in
terms
as
we
move
forward
in
terms
of
not
planting
trees
that
have
conflicts
with
overhead
utilities
or
underground
utilities,
or
you
know,
as
trees
mature.
We
want
to
make
sure
there's
no
visibility,
problems
with
motorists
and
pedestrians
and
such
so.
F
We
really
put
a
lot
of
effort
into
to
em
thought
into
selecting
the
right
tree.
You
know
it's
kind
of
like
children,
everything's
really
cute,
when
it's
small
and
people
bring
these
trees
home
and
they're
there
literally
and
manageable,
and
then
all
of
a
sudden
you
go
out
one
one
day
and
it's
enveloped
your
entire
house,
so
that
I
think
that's
really
one
of
the
most
important
components
that
that
we're
here
to
help
with
with
the
residents
and
in
terms
of
choosing
the
trees
that
we
plan
for
ourselves.
F
We
do
have
a
new
toy
in
our
in
our
tool
chest
last
year,
director
Schwartz,
applied
for
and
was
awarded
a
grant
from,
the
Association
of
Bay
Area
governments,
also
known
as
a
bag,
and
that
grant
was
used
to
fund
a
tree
inventory.
So
there's
going
to
be
some
technical
information
up
on
the
slide
and
then
I'd
like
to
just
share
with
you
the
methodology
that
the
company
used
in
collecting
the
data
that
we're
going
to
be
using
and
managing
our
trees.
F
So
west
coast,
arborist,
incorporated
inventory
to
total
of
six
thousand
five
hundred
and
twenty
street
trees,
stumps
and
vacant
sites
located
in
the
street.
Right-Of-Way
medians
and
facilities
of
the
city
of
san
bruno
trees,
located
in
open
space
areas
adjacent
to
houses
and
other
hazard
targets
were
also
inventoried.
So
typically
a
lot
of
times
with
tree
inventories.
Cities
just
focus
on
actual
street
trees,
but
what
staff
decided
was
it
was
really
important.
City
of
san
bruno
has
a
lot
of
open
spaces
that
were
responsible
for
that
interface
directly
with
with
homes
and
properties.
F
So
we
had
them
collect
using
the
using
the
criteria.
If
a
tree
had
a
failure
and
it
would
reach
a
property
that
was
adjacent
to
an
open
space,
they
counted
those
trees.
Also,
so
it's
a
pretty
thorough
collection
of
what
we
have
here
and
then
I'd
like
to
share
with
you
also
the
type
of
information
they
chose
or
that
they
collected
for
each
tree.
They.
F
They
identified
the
exact
tree
site
location
by
address
and
also
by
coordinates,
so
we
can
use
GPS
to
identify
a
tree,
as
in
the
case
of
in
an
open
space
and
the
tree
identification,
they
identified
the
species
of
the
tree,
the
diameter
range
or
the
size
of
the
trunk.
They
collected
the
height
range
of
the
tree,
the
canopy
range,
which
is
the
whole
crown
of
the
leaves
and
the
branching
and
such,
and
they
assess
the
general
edition
of
the
tree.
F
F
They
also
did
some
recommended
maintenance
on
each
tree.
For
example,
they
would
make
general
recommendations
in
terms
of
pruning
cycles
and
such
and
then
they
would
also
give
us
a
list
of
removal
priorities
in
terms
of
if
they
came
across
the
tree
that
was
dead
or
structurally
unsound.
They
would
alert
us
to
that.
I
can
click
on
a
list
and
and
identify
all
those
sites
and
then
prioritize
those
in
terms
of
our
maintenance
and
it's
a
it's
really.
It's
really
a
cool
tool.
F
If
you
guys
are
ever
in
the
office
and
you
want
to
take
a
test
drive
I
mean
you
can
click
on
a
you,
can
click
on
an
address
and
then
click
on
the
map.
And
then
you
can
look
around
the
neighborhood.
You
could
actually
see
the
tree
and
you
can
see
the
neighbors
and
so
I
would
encourage
you
just
to
just
from
a
learning
standpoint,
if
you're
ever
around
be
happy
to
share
that
with
you.
The
the
inventory
is
web-based
meaning
that
we
have
instant
access.
F
We
log
on
to
to
the
web
web
site,
that
has
our
inventory.
We
have
instant,
instant,
instant
access
to
the
tree
information.
We
have
a
work
history
when
it
was
last
pruned
any
complaints.
We
got
about
the
tree,
any
any
peculiarities
or
things
that
we
need
to
be
conscious
of,
and
so
it's
really
an
amazing
tool
that
will
will
help
us
be
more
efficient
and
and
also
as
important
it.
It's
a
great
way
to
document
all
the
work
that
we
do
and
plan
future
work.
F
So
once
again,
I
would
just
in
closing:
I
would
just
encourage
everybody
to
go
to
the
city's
website,
which
is
wwan
bruno
CA
gov,
and
there
is
a
wealth
of
tree
information.
There's
contact
information.
You
can
get
a
hold
of
us
very
easily
and
we're
we're
happy
to
come
out
and
help
you
with
any
issue
that
you
have
and
there's
a
lot
of
self-help
things
on
there.
Where
you
can.
F
A
Let's
see
who
wants
to
go
first,
Dave
or
Lucy,
let's
go.
Ladies
first
Lucy
do.
G
This
here
I
have
a
question,
so
the
trees
that
are
in
open
spaces.
Do
you
guys
prune
though
I
know
I
know
you
do
all
the
city
ones
like
on
the
streets
and
stuff
badoo,
the
ones
in
the
open
spaces
like
I'm
thinking
of
like
crestmore,
Canyon
and
stuff
like
those
trees?
What
do
they
ever
get
taken?
Care
of?
It's.
F
A
different
type
of
management
there
being
like
I,
said
and
that's
why
it
was
really
important
to
us
to
to
collect
the
data
on
the
trees
that
if
there
was
a
failure,
either
a
partial
failure,
meaning
a
limb
would
come
up
or
a
total
failure
of
the
tree.
We
felt
it
was
important
to
collect
that
information
and
we
do
respond
to
concerns
about
trees
out
there.
F
The
the
inventory
that
was
done
kind
of
did
a
general
assessment
of
the
trees
that
were
out
there.
There's
also
some
work,
that's
done
out
there
by
by
the
utility
companies.
They
do
some
line
clearance,
so
those
all
the
trees
pretty
much
all
the
trees
in
the
open
space
or
a
good
majority
of
them
are
located
near
power
lines.
So
pge
basically
inspects
those
trees
once
a
year.
They
walk
the
entire
transmission
lines
and
they.
G
F
G
F
C
F
G
B
B
F
Great
we're
pretty
proud
of
that
I
mean
it
shows.
It
shows
commitment
on
the
park
at
part
of
the
community
that
we
are,
we
are
willing
to
put.
We
are
willing
to
invest
in
it,
both
in
time
and
financially
to
to
having
a
worthwhile
and
well
thought-out
tree
program.
How
often
do
we
have
to
apply
for
that
person,
its
yearly
Oh
yearly,
and
we
had
we
go
through
a
reporting
process
where
we
have
to
report
how
many
trees
were
removed,
how
many
trees
were
pruned?
How
much
money
was
spent
on
the
tree
program
and.
B
F
Any
PG&E
doesn't
take
care
of
that
portion
of
it.
We
you
know
we
do.
There
was
a
study
done
by
the
fire
department
was
a
fire
mitigation
project
and
they
went
through
and
assess
that
whole
area
in
terms
of
fire
and-
and
they
pointed
out
some
things
that
we
dealt
with
so
we
do.
We
do
try
to
get
out
there
and
check
things,
but
there
has,
in
terms
of
a
and
in
terms
of
a
you
know,
a
formal
soil
study
and
such
really.
I
I
can
add
to
that
two
points:
one,
the
City
Council
does
put
money
away
annually
in
terms
of
fire
mitigation
funds
and
the
parks
division
works
closely
with
the
fire
department.
The
fire
department
identifies
those
sites
that
are
in
most
need
of
maintenance
and
those
pertaining
to
vegetation,
trees,
brush,
etc.
I
Obviously,
during
winter
storms
are
going
to
be
limb
failures,
hopefully
not
too
many
tree
failures,
but
the
more
of
the
brush
that
we
can
remove
the
more
of
the
debris
we
can
move
before
and
the
less
impact.
That's
going
to
happen
this
in
the
during
the
storm
season
and
then,
if
there's
any
hangers
any
limbs
that
may
be
on
the
way
down
that
were
loosened
up
during
storms,
Jeff
and
his
crew
can
spot
those
and
take
those
down
safely,
rather
than
having
a
failure
within
the
week
or
month
afterwards.
That.
I
We
don't
take
care
of,
we
don't
do
regular
maintenance
on
the
open
space
trees
other
than
those
that
are
within
striking
distance
of
any
property.
If
it's,
if
it's
nearest
street,
there
are
some
of
our
open
space
areas
that
they're
classified
as
open
space,
but
they're
still
near
residences
or
they're
still
near
roadways.
The
property
really
itself
is
not
used
and
therefore
is
really
looked
at
as
as
open
space
areas,
the
maintenance,
the
the
inventory
was
performed
on
those
trees.
I
Any
maintenance
to
those
trees
will
be
looked
at
more
as
as
a
street
tree,
then
as
an
open
space
tree,
but
those
that
are
really
down
in
the
canyon.
Well,
the
first
things
that
you
learn
in
tree
school
is:
where
are
the
targets,
and
if
there
aren't
any
targets,
you
don't
really
have
too
much
of
an
issue,
their
liability,
wise,
etc.
So
we
do
very
little
maintenance
in
those
and
we
really
don't
have
the
resources
to
do
maintenance
in
those
areas,
but
those
that
are
near
residences.
I
G
So
when
you
say
the
fire
department
mitigation
would
I'm
sorry
I
don't
mean
to
go
off
the
tree,
because
I
think
you
guys
do
a
great
job,
so
I'm
now
I'm
just
going
on
to
something
else.
I'm,
sorry,
but.
F
Fire
department
went
through
all
the
open
spaces
similar
to
what
we
did
in
the
tree
inventory
in
terms
of
open
spaces
that
that
are
directly
adjacent
to
homes
and
and
they
assess
each
area
for
for
the
amount
of
risk
potential
risk
that.
But
that
would
be
involved
in
the
case
of
something
happening,
and
they
did
a
very
extensive
study
and
they
prioritize
different
areas.
That
should
be
done
first
and
they
did
have
contractors
go
through
and
take
care
of
some
of
the
worst
worst
spots.
G
I
know
it
used
to
be
like
I
know
that
crestmore
canyon
by
the
houses
used
to
be
taken
care
of
quite
a
bit
like
I,
want
to
say
maybe
wasn't
every
year,
but
it
was
every
couple
years.
I
was
a
vegetation
was
taken
out.
It's
got
to
be
at
least
10
years
that
that
has
not
been
touched,
at
least
so
I'm
just
I.
That's
why
I'm
asking
I'm
not
sure
who's
in
charge
that
I've
even
talked
to
the
fire
department
about
it?
F
G
F
And
adil,
in
addition
to
the
fire
department,
we
have
a
budget
to
the
city
funds,
a
budget
for
us
for
dealing
with
open
space
issues
that
that
require
climbing
that
we
might
need
to
bring
a
contractor
in
for
so
we
do.
You
know,
and
we
document
all-
that
we
do
extensive
work
in
the
open
spaces
a
lot
of
times.
F
B
I
have
one
more
to
that:
it
gets
pretty
complicated,
like
I,
live
on
skyline
and
of
what
you
said
is
true:
pge
comes
through
on
the
transmission
lines
and
they
hire
a
company
to
do
the
trim
it,
but
that
piece
we
thought
it
was
County,
but
it
really
belonged
to
Caltrans.
They
wouldn't
do
anything,
and
so
it
really
scares
us
with
those
tall
eucalyptus,
trees
across
the
street
and
so
far
we've
been
lucky.
F
F
So
I
mean
I,
understand
the
fear,
but
a
lot
of
times
the
fear
is
generalized
and
as
a
tree
tree
person
I
look
at
it
a
little
bit
differently
when
I
think
in
terms
of
how
many
failures
of
eucalyptus
trees
actually
have
occurred
in
san
bruno,
not
really
a
lot.
So
I
mean
I
understand
the
fear
I'm
not
discounting
that
at
all,
but
but
but
I
think.
The
best
effort
that
we
can
make
is
to
apply
the
the
science
that
we
have
and
keep
working
at
it
through
the
chair.
Yes,.
C
F
Of
them
are
yes
and
inside
some
of
those
properties
go
up
quite
a
bit
further
than
people
realize
and
I
run
into
that
a
lot.
A
lot
of
my
inspections
have
to
do
with
identifying
tree
ownership,
and
you
know
a
lot
of
people
say
well.
My
fence
is
right
here
and
that
trees
30
feet
away
and,
unfortunately,
or
you
know,
fence
lines
do
not
indicate
property
line.
So
that's
the
first
step
in
trying
to
resolve
the
issues
is
trying
to
find
is
to
try
to
identify
tree
ownership.
A
C
D
C
F
Totally
happy
to
clarify
that
for
people
I
mean:
that's,
why
I
encourage
them
to
go
online
and
contact
us
I
mean
part
of
our
job
is
I,
feel,
is
to
identify
and
to
at
least
put
them
on
the
right
track.
If
it's,
if
it's
not
the
city's
responsibility,
I
really
feel
like
it's
important
to
to
give
somebody
direction,
and
you
know
an
honest
answer,
because.
A
A
K
Administration
student
at
San,
Francisco,
State
University-
excuse
me
as
a
part
of
my
program
at
San,
Francisco
State
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
perform
a
internship
in
my
last
semester
and
after
my
interviews
throughout
different
agencies,
I
chose
san
bruno
primarily
because
of
the
warm
fuzzies
that
I
felt
with
Randy
and
Danielle,
but
also
because
of
the
small
community
that
you
guys
have
here
and
the
work
environment
that
I
felt
walking
in
through
the
door.
In
the
last
three
months,
I've
been
giving
given
the
opportunity
to
work
on
several
projects.
K
My
main
project
has
been
implementing
a
kickball
league
within
four
of
the
elementary
schools
we
have
about
40
participants.
It's
been
a
great
non-competitive
alternative
for
the
children
who
don't
want
to
play
baseball
because
it's
pretty
competitive
but
from
what
I
hear
in
san
bruno,
so
for
next
year
we
and
future
leagues.
We
expect
a
huge
turnout,
because
it's
been
pretty
popular
so
and
and
people
call
me
every
day
to
see
if
they
can
still
find
out
so
I've
also
been
involved
here
at
the
Senior
Center
with
activities,
including
to
code
teaching.
K
Our
other
highliglights
for
my
time
here
include
working
on
the
parks,
equipment,
replacement
plan,
creating
a
park
memorial
bench
catalog
and
working
with
the
new
asus
after-school
program,
budget
and
implementation
plan.
C
K
Day,
I
got
a
lot
of
crowd.
Control
experience
no,
but
overall
I
feel
this
has
been
a
great
experience.
I
really
want
to
thank
Randy
and
Danielle,
who
chose
me
to
be
there
in
turn
and
Jenny
Tucker
FIFA,
Bella
and
Jackie
Matthias
for
answering
my
million
and
two
questions
every
day.
So
yeah
there's
any
question.
K
Okay,
I'm
not
sure
about
how
many
people
were
at
the
Easter
I
can't,
but
there
were
a
lot.
I
know
that
the
Lions
Club
did
the
pancake
breakfast
and
that
went
great.
We
had
a
full
full
tables
everywhere.
In
our
meeting
room
we
had
two
three
different
age
groups
for
the
egg
hunt
and
the
Easter
Bunny
had
a
great
time
too
yeah
are
we
had
activities,
arts
and
crafts
face,
painting
the
actually,
the
the
fire
department
came
out,
and
that
was
a
huge
hit.
J
Just
want
to
touch
base
on
a
couple
of
other
events
coming
up
on,
may
first
we're
going
to
be
holding
our
the
San
Bruno's
first
annual
streets
alive.
It
is
actually
the
second
annual
it's
a
countywide
project
that
every
city
has
some
sort
of
activity
just
about
every
city
in
San,
Mateo
County
has
some
sort
of
activity
to
promote
healthy
and
safe
streets
and
activities,
so
ours
will
be
held
on
may
first,
it's
going
to
begin
and
all
the
different
parts
are
optional.
J
J
They
have
said
that
they'll
bring

H
Just
wanted
to
take
a
minute
and
thank
the
Park
Service's
Renee
Walsh
and
his
park
services
department
for
the
outstanding
efforts
on
their
part
to
save
the
soccer
season
at
customer
or
park
site
after
the
month
of
March
and
all
the
rain
that
was
involved.
We
suffered
some
serious
setbacks,
but
they
were
able
to
bring
us
back
online
and
kids
are
playing
out.
It
was
really
a
great
effort
by
the
park
service
department.
So
thank
you.
That's
great.
