At its Oct. 16 meeting the San Francisco Recreation and Park Commission recorded the following actions:
• Consent calendar approved: The commission adopted the consent calendar as presented, including a revised naming policy that updates a 30‑year‑old process and asks the department to align community outreach procedures with commission policy. The item passed by voice vote with no opposition recorded.
• HERS Recreation Center shared‑use agreement authorized: The commission authorized department staff to enter into a shared‑use agreement with the Boys and Girls Club of San Francisco for the HERS Recreation Center gym. Staff said the Boys and Girls Club will provide free or low‑cost programming for neighborhood youth and that the gym was built in partnership with HopeSF and private funding for the Sunnydale redevelopment. The motion passed by voice vote with no opposition recorded.
• Koshland Park conceptual design approved: The commission approved the conceptual design for Koshland Park Community Garden improvements and accepted the associated grant framework. The project budget discussed at the meeting totaled about $1.625 million (including an in‑kind Trust for Public Land grant). The commission approved the action by voice vote; no opposition was stated on the record.
These votes were taken during the public meeting; staff noted that grant acceptance and construction steps will require additional departmental actions and, in some cases, Board of Supervisors approval.
