Corps men, they give the congressional honors in world war ii, so myself, i would be spec ops, so thats my background. When you hear somebody coming out and talking about good morning vietnam, i thought that would be more the entertainment to try to boost the morale or go on the radio show or something at the time of the war. So being that Robin Williams had performed such, it probably had to come out later. It was a earlier variety show development. So mr. Robin williams Robin Williams, i think i would be supportive not only for the good morning vietnam, but possibly because he had received an Academy Award oscar. This fellow when i read about him in the newspaper, it didnt make too much sense. He was so saddened, seemed like chronic depression. And somehow it was part of his way of breaking out, where he would perform before different people. And really helped him along. Im hoping that if you do make the particular change, that you can also somewhere include a wall of fame with different people who have performed at said comedy area, if that would be also possible. And then those behind me, comics, comedians, and others, they can also be honored. But be sure not to put on ri richa richard. Thank you. Anyone else . Gail, did you want to speak . Thank you, margaret. Hi commissioners, my name is gail, i would like to support you for thank you for supporting comedy since 1980 here in the city when we survived the 70s and we needed a good laugh and good come together. And thank you to the rec and park for their approval of a band of dedicated performers who keep showing up, year after year, have performed over 500,000 people in our glorious park. Statistically speaking, i think that we could say we have had the biggest comedy event in the world. Over 38 years coming up. So in honor of robin and all the dedicated performers, i would like to thank all of you for the outcome today. President buell thank you. Cle clerk anyone else who would like to make Public Comment . Public comment is closed. President buell commissioner anderson. Commissioner anderson may i invite will and debbie to come back up for a moment . Is that all right . President buell i think they have permission. Commissioner anderson i would like to hear more about the genesis of the idea. You mentioned the people who supported it, but i know there is a little more work that happened and would invite you to share a little bit more and wanted to thank you for inviting me to come out to comedy day, which i did, and it was a very joyous, embracing event with such talented people such as yourselves and thought you could give us a little more background. Well, robin was such a part of the Comedy Community, such a part of comedy day. Like i said, he was there the very first comedy day. And he was always a great supporter of comedy day and not a lot of people know it, but if it werent for robin giving us some money, there would be no comedy day a few years. He was just a silent supporter. He did it anonymously, so we couldnt mention amongst ourselves whether he had given money. We always heard that we got the money, because the eagle has landed. And that was the code word. He was known in the Comedy Community as the eagle. When we said the eagle had landed, that meant he gave the money for the show. President buell he kept it going five or six years. At least, because its nonprofit organization, no one gets paid. And everyone comes to perform, its one of the biggest things to be invited to perform at comedy day. Its kind of our company picnic. And we instead of barrel races, we yes, gails husband, was one of the founders of comedy day. It was a very dark time in San Francisco. We had lost a mayor. And jonestown had happened and all this stuff and there was a gray cloud. So jose along with a couple of other people decided to begin comedy day and robin was behind it. He did everything he could for this great San Francisco tradition. And if not for him, it would not be here today. So thank you. President buell thank you. Clerk i appreciate all that you have done on this, debbie, i know a lot of time has gone in your side. Yeah, i used to have a lot more hair. Commissioner anderson didnt we all. President buell before i ask for a vote of the commission, let me thank will and debbie and the others for the contribution youve made to this effort and the culture of San Francisco. You put us in a very unique place on the map and we appreciate it. With that, the chair would entertain a motion. So moved. Seconded. President buell moved and seconded, all those in favor . So moved. Thank you. [applause] we are now on item 10, the Strategic Plan. President buell i know you find it humorous and entertaining, but you dont have to sit through the Strategic Plan. Now, thats but we do want that now thats comedy. Ill wait for netflix. [laughter]. Merry christmas. Happy holidays. Thank you, you too. Good morning, commissioners, taylor from the finance committee that was funny. No pressure, taylor. Take my Strategic Plan, please. Oh. I am here today to present to you the strategic the progress assessment of our Strategic Plan so far. Where we are in the indicators and a look ahead at the next five years. Our longterm planning tool, the Strategic Plan for fy 201822. As a reminder, this is a planning process. We will be doing this through fy 46, prop b, starts with equity and the equity metrics and analysis feeds into the Strategic Plan and then the Operational Plan is a twoyear look. Its a shorter term horizon that also filters through the equity lens and then we bring you the capital plan in january. And in february, the budget. And this is a sequence and a building, an evolution of our we need a synonym for plan our focus, our efforts. The framework has the Mission Vision values, the five course strategies and the objectives and those are not changing. Underneath those, the actions that support all that are the initiatives and those change and refresh and get done and new ones come on each year. Here today to stalk about the twoyear Operational Plan. Equity is filtered, its not at the bottom or the top, its infused through all of that. Quick assessment of where we are on these initiatives. For the fiveyear period, fy 17 to 21, we have completed 14 of those. Another 49 are in progress, which together means, i think its more than 90 are either started or completed. And the remainders are to be initiated in the coming years. Just highlights of what weve done. The 10minute walk, were so proud of it, we keep talking about it. Its about the equity, 100 of san franciscans now live within a 10 minute walk of park or open space. We also, strategy 2, to support safe bicycling and through parks and increase recreational bicycling in parks, the bike park in mclaren and these are both proud accomplishments toward this goal of more cycling. There are so many things about the hall that feel successful and accomplishments of new park, increasingly dense neighborhood. And there are opportunities for urban farming and Community Gardening there. I love theyre doing a Different Community garden model there, it is actually community. Theyre all growing it together, instead of individual plots. I heard at the end of the season, they gave away 500 pounds of food. That is exciting. Within the Strategic Plan itself, some of the initiatives are equity equity related and this is a shot of those. Some of those are internal learning. We got training, we have two people a year doing the Government Alliance on Racial Equity learning and theyre bringing that back to the department. Weve expanded our training our recruiting processes to reach now audiences and this, of course, is while we call this complete, its also ongoing. We did what we set out to do this year and were doing more. Second class of greenidge, these kinds are from chinatown which is one of the most open spaced, deficient of nature neighborhoods and were giving them environment learning opportunities. At mission playground, we started a Spanish Language permit assistance. There is like a satellite permit office at Mission Clubhouse that has operating hours, and helps people get the permits for birthday a party or other organized events. New initiatives, there are six new ones. Here they are, complete the jurisdictional transfer of properties. Continue working on the Civic Center Commons initiative. Start working on the conservatory of flowers campus. And some work in operations with the nursery and plant palates. With that, happy to take questions. Clerk go to Public Comment . President buell please. Clerk anyone who would like to make Public Comment . Come on up. Interesting combination of performance here today, im ss urban riders and here to confirm and thank the department for the progress theyve made on the strategic objectives, particularly, i Pay Attention to the bicycling and trails goals. And particularly the three things about bicycling, the trails, the bike parks and the playground, the mini bike park there is looking great, coming along. So weve had disagreement over the detail of this, but happy and thankful for the details and the goals theyre accomplishing. President buell thank you. Clerk anyone else who would like to make Public Comment on the Strategic Plan . This is strategic, not the operational. Is that ok . Ok. President buell so the question becomes do we want to hear the Operational Plan and then vote on both of them . Or having heard that, or do we need to vote now on this . Clerk clrk i clerk i want to make sure there is no more Public Comment on this. Is there any more Public Comment . Seeing none. President buell i was clairvoyant. Any commission comments . Seeing none, we entertain a vote. Moved and seconded. All those in favor . So moved. Thank you. That was fantastic. Wee. Shell be here all week. Encore right now. Clerk were on item 9, the Operational Plan. Commissioners, the operation plan, we have the 5year horizon and then 2year. Of all the things we need to do and should do, given our resources, workload, capacity, the priorities, what do you think were actually going to be able to do in the next two years . And thats what the Operational Plan is. Weve seen this before, but i want it to be a standalone presentation. The structure of it, its a twoyear look again. Next month well be here with the capital plan. Within the Operational Plan, which because of the timing, this progress assessment reflects five months of what is a twoyear plan. I want to set the stage for that. We have completed 14 of the initiatives that we set forth to do. 42 of them are in progress and just four are yet to be starting. Some of these that were proud of that weve accomplished are farm camp, expand and connect children to nature. There are bees and chickens and real farm chores out there. And the camp was full all summer. It was fantastic, yeah. Adaptive programming to increase the number of participants. Sometimes that means increasing the slots in the programs that are popular, adding new programs and making all of the programs inclusi inclusive, so people can participate in anything theyre interested in. Strategy 3, we mentioned the Civic Center Playground a couple of times today. This is fantastic partnerdriven renovation project that is going be an anchor for the Civic Center Commons. I cant wait to go on the slide right there myself. Great signage. Signage really helps build stewardship because when people understand it and appreciate what theyre looking at, in this case, plans. They can care for it more. Weve done great signage at hilltop particularly. Within the Operational Plan, some of those initiatives again, these are all subsets, Equity Initiatives, four of these were complete, nine ongoing. Commissioner mcdonnell, you asked for a list, its attachment to the staff report. Some of these still ongoing are implementing its combined of a combination kind of a combination of park ranger and fixed posts. Parked ranger are fixed and they can get to know the characters and be part of the community. Were also using this model at delores as well and kind of experimenting when hot spots pop up, crocker amazon, we can have staff onsite there. This is not a very good picture, but if you can see how drab and uninviting that hope sf playground is there, we are working with other city agencies to address some of these failing playgrounds at hope sf properties. This is an Equity Initiative work, were fully invested in the planning and this is partially a Capital Planning conversation as well, but were thinking through additional facilities where some of the hope sf sites, for example, sunnydale, i think were planning were in conversations with mercy housing and some of the other stakeholders about a new gym. And we just purchased Shoreview Park which is near huntersview, so were engaging in a lot more collaborative planning and participating in, again, one of the mayors legacies, the sort of reenvisioning of Public Housing and housing generally. Mission slide again. Well skip that. And with that, im happy to take questions. And just these were just a couple of delicious samples, some of the work that is happening. There is a lot 0 detailed work in the Strategic Plan and the Operations Plan and it is from the inspiration tal to the mundane. Were in a time of stability where the core mission and mission and values and five Core Strategies are not really moving. Those are we continue to believe thats how we want to steer the organization, by inspiring place and play and stewardship, and team and resources. And then so the tactics beneath those, how do we do that . Where weve done a much better job in the last several years, in part because of taylors leadership, is collecting data and how we want to move the needle. Ive been here for 17 years and never been in such a continuous planning loop as we are now. I have to say, we like it. It works. President buell terrific. Clerk Public Comment . President buell lets go to commissioner comment. Commissioner anderson i would like to put a little pin on the Public Safety aspect. If we could start a conversation, if it hasnt already started, about helping San FranciscoPolice Department collaborate and coordinate with the park patrol, like some feedback from the park patrol, for example, they dont share the radio. I feel like those communications should be a twoway street between park patrol and San Francisco p. D. If you look outside the civic center, you see a ranger and Police Officer walking through and doing a some of this is dependent upon the chief at the moment and the priorities of the Police Department, but because our own ranger chief has done such a good job and has so much credibility with sfpd, the collaboration and cooperation has never been better. I would recommend that the Organization Still needs another 2030 rangers. We said we should be at 80. When i started we were at 12. Now were at 45 . Right . And so were not there yet with the amount of coverage. Its 247 operation, 365 days a year, 225 parks. Its hard to have a presence everywhere. But a number of key issue and events, were working toward 20, obviously some of the ceremonies around the mayors passing, weve been working very closely with sfpd. Thank you, i support more park controls. Commissioner harrison i like that and im supportive of it, but i have a question and give me an example. I was reading here on Performance Indicators baseline, and i dont know how attachment a i guess, objective, condition of parks, fields, playground and facilities, i notice that the other end, that was not achieved. The goal was not achieved. How do we go about achieving such a thing . In that case we set the target at two. We set the target possibly too high. So when i say we didnt achieve the target. I think we may have another year of data under to evaluate. We can then revisit the targets and see if they are realistic. We set the Park Maintenance target ott 90 . There is a little bit of history and youre going to dive into the Park Maintenance report. Frankly, the way the scoring has changed, weve gotten a lot stricter about how we evaluate the parks and more precise and that resulted over about two years, or three years ago, in a 35 drop in the Park Maintenance scores. Think that target was from the original data s. Taylor interprets data literally. In that specific case, we did improve, but we did not reach the target. I did see it was 80 landscaping, so i guess thats pretty good. Right, that specific metric that youre looking at, is the result of the controller city survey, which is every other year, they contact citizens. Its a perceptionbased survey. Do you think landscapes are better . That one. And so 80 do you think there is a couple of ways were evaluating the condition of the parks. With the controllers assistance, this is the original Park Maintenance scores we were talking about toks ajikes item. We do it in partnership with the Controllers Office. The second way were evaluated is Public Perception and thats based on controller survey. Commissioner, im not sure what metric youre looking at. Commissioner harrison attachment a, doesnt give a page. It sounds like thats a perception one, b for Public Perception, were doing pretty well. Commissioner harrison maybe im getting ahead of myself on this one, lets talk about it during the maintenance. Im good, thank you. President buell commissioner macdonell. Commissioner mcdonnell fantastic and thank you for pulling out as i had requested the equity related initiatives and just connecting this, and perhaps a place holder comment, back to the item that toks ajike presented a moment ago around the assessment. Software, which is one of the initiatives around prioritizing deferred maintenance, renewal and discretionary capital in equity zones. So i guess place holder and question would be, when we get to the point of establishing criteria, i would love to see how this manifests or shows up in that. Because i appreciate that its not straight forward, tricky in terms of setting it into the context of all the other competing priorities, but id like to see that. This is work that im actually eager to tackle in the next year or two, where it will be a mix of waiting equity criteria, so there would be basically some sort of preference for parks and facilities in our equity zones. But that blended with the actual data and Condition Assessment of particular asset. Yep, yep. Thank you. We now have data sets from the controller. Park maintenance will then well have project life cycle. And then well have the population characteristics which form the basis of the equity zone. And those three sources combined, i think, can help us achieve a pretty transparent prioritization index for how we make choices on what to tackle first. President buell Public Comment. Richard . Thank you for your presentation. I stand corrected what i said in the Committee Part on the equity and of seniors, and had something to do with what i thought would be where they used to be the shotgun club and fishing rod club, but there is another point i want to bring up. Of the west south lake, i dont know, it sounds confusing, its actually on the east side of the south lake where the work is happening, so its not the west side. On the east side of the south lake, which is a large lake there, so when i look at that, and i see equity, i thought why would seniors lose out on that much more funding for equity of seniors . That is not of the sites noted on different calendars of equity that placed out there, i thought it would be more in trails, roadways when i brought in the ada accessible to the south lake and the ada accessible to the north lake. Where now theyre doing work on the landing dock. Supportive lines that dont get in the way of boats. So equities, i dont know what the total cost would be, but if there is a total cost for seniors and people who are of such age that the park is going to try to give up equity and noted that you have seniors you dont have, maybe you have kane of wheelchair. So cane or wheelchair. If we have more accessible places, i thought we should get the funding where its needed, a different source. So like where you have a different parks, like its about 25th avenue and the Golden Gate Bridge side of the park, over there you have a lot of russians and all the different other places, chinatown and the mission, there are equity places. If you use the access to a facility as total amount of funding, it wouldnt be very much to develop programs, so i just looking out for a few of us seniors and hope we can rectify that through mr. Phillip ginzberg. Is there anybody else who would like to make Public Comment on the Operational Plan . Yes, whenever i get a chance to speak anywhere at city hall, im going to take the opportunity and try to tell you all, because i done seen it all. I seen operations, stick to the script, ace. Im going to be here when there is Public Comment and ive been informed, i say the right things, maybe at the wrong time, and it takes all the energy out of you going against the grain. You may Say Something that is real good, but i mess up the whole script. Ive been doing that for years. And its hard because i got passion. You know, im 62, im just like all the rest of you, i look a little younger, but i seen it and been through it. I had to go through it to get to it. People of color, i got to go through more than most of you all. Im no preacher, no teacher, but i know god wouldnt lead me, id be gone. I aint got no money, no home. All i got is morale, i got a moral obligation. My family is across the bay. My daughters, theyre probably feeling good, they have kids and they have kids. But papa still here in the city by the bay, trying to get these people to hear what i got to say. When i learn to do that, i got people queen bee, route 200, we know where we grew up, thats history. Although i dont agree, im going to stand by her side until the time comes when i might have to split, because im not going to do that because shes a girl i know her. There is another woman coming with a better name than her and willie brown. I was her bodyguard. Personal bodyguard when she ran. I told her the election was being sabotaged. She had to go to the green party. I didnt know him. I know alley oto, what they did for the family and the blacks. Go back to what im talking about now. Yes, sir. Im going to be talking about all the parks in my community. When i grew up, there was us. Now you got people running around looking good in the parks, shooting all that, because you talking about big money youre spending in the park. But we is black, were still in the dark. See, i dont cuss that much, sometimes it comes out as rhymes, im not trying to be no jesse jackson. God dont like unclean but i dont cuss, never did. But i can rhyme and tell you what im talking about. Read between the lines. I could be rhyming and cussing at you at the same time, and you wouldnt know it. Read between the lines. When i get up here, where we at with justin herman, i want the truth. Nobody pay me but god. I get my just reward when i gone. Rest in peace, lee, because im still talking about the fillmore street. Clerk anyone else who would like to make Public Comment . Being none, Public Comment is closed. President buell seeing no further questions, chair would entertain a motion. Moved and seconded. All those in favor . So moved. Thank you very much. Clerk item 11, Controllers Office report on Park Maintenance standards for 201617. Im going to set up the power point, just a moment, please. Thank you. Good afternoon, commissioners lydia zaverukha, manager for operations in the department. Im here to introduce to you the Park Maintenance standards report which you have seen for 12 years. Im proud to be associated with the whole Park Maintenance standards for the last 12 careers from intepgs to what 12 years, from inception to what youre looking at now. We have a new format, interesting report, presented with the kind of detail you have not seen before. This is the 12th year as i mentioned. This is actually the third year of the new data. If you recall, about three years ago, we revised the standards, thats what was referred to with the shifting in the scores. This is the first full year of the data from the new mobile app, that is built on a sales force platform. I love to say that, even though i dont know anything about sales force. What were benefitting from is data at a detailed level weve never had before. When you look at the report, i need to thank the Controllers Office, they did the hard work, but you have detail and information sliced and diced in way we have not looked at before, with charts and information. What we havent had before is the kind of data where we can look at statistically significant changes. A lot of times weve had changes, but not the benefit to analyze to that level. The other thing about the report, is that it does not take a deep dive backwards again, because its three years of new data. We went back just the three years. So i will take you forward. Basically, these are the three major content areas of the report, so park scores are the whole property. Overall, what are the scores for the park property . The next is features. Looking at cpa, trees, the different features within the park property and then within each of the levels are the elements. We look at details within, lets say, a tree well, does it have weeds. What is the cleanliness rating in the restroom . Thats how its organized. Well take questions at the end. Ill give you the overall introduction that was briefly discussed today, what has been the trend . Were proud, up to 88 this year. Not quite 89, but almost there. Always round up lydia. I like that, too. What was established at the inception of the program was 85 was the good maintenance threshold and weve been hovering above that for the last three years. What is significant about the three year data points, 86, 88. This is three years of the much more stringent standards. We tried very, very hard to help a human being and guide them to precise information we were looking for. When we started, it was a bit more free form and now youre getting information in a deep and detailed way. Im going to turn it over to the controller office, to alison, emily and joe is here somewhere. These individuals, again, ive talked about it before, im very proud to work with the controllers you woffice. The level of the detail is amazing and ill let the people who did the hard work give you the information. Thank you. Thank you so much to lydia, for all your support and that intro. As mentioned, we saw the citywide average score increase over the last two years, over the comparable years using the revised standards. You can see that we looked beyond that mean, because we had a distribution of parks scores where each park score can be seen as a dot and the figure shown, like a his tree gram. And we saw not only was the distribution moving to the right, but the distribution was changing. Because we only have three years of data, were going to continue to watch this, but its interesting trend that goes beyond just increasing standards, but what this could mean for how all parks are clustered around the city wide average mean. We saw obviously, this citywide increase is driven by park improvements. 61 of parks had increased score over the past year, so fiscal year 15 to 17. Which is exciting large portion of the parks. Most of those dramatic increases were often tied to renovations funded by the 2012 clean and safe Neighborhood Parks bond. So some else of those renovated with the funds, dolman playground, joe dimaggio, those were the most dramatic. We saw increases were subtle. Volunteers from habitat for humanity, making big increases as well. I like to note those as well as the renovations made. In addition to these increases there are also some parks, lesser so, but some parks that decreased dramatically in score. The most dramatic decreases are listed on the slide and these are individual changes in the park or the area around the park. We go into a really deeper dive in the report about the parks that were decreasing over the years. I wont go over that right now, but one of the features that decreased consistently across the parks were the on mental beds, so thats interesting commonality among the parks. We have that deeper information in the report and have already received a request from our staff about those details for these parks in order to inform operational decisions. Its a tie between the decisions were making and the data we have. Beyond the changes, we can look at this most recent Year Snapshot to see right now, where are the highest scoring and lowest scoring parks. That map is in front of you. In that report, we have that feature. This is the highest, 10 highest scoring and 10 lowest. The highest, Fulton Playground and ca borriello playground were renovated with under from the 2008 fund. You can see that 60 of the bottom parks are in the southern half of the city. You can almost draw a line across the map and thats in contrast to the top 10 scoring parks which are almost all in the northern part of the city. Looking at the park scores aggregated to the supervisor district level, we see trends to the top and bottom parks, being a southern and northern distinction. We have districts number 1 with the highest average park score of 92 . Followed by the districts 2 and 3, so northern crest of the city. And the bottom 2, district 11 with 83 and district 10 with 85 . Just a note in that range. If youre living in district 1, your average park may be 92. 10 Percentage Points is the average park you would experience in district 11. So quite a big percentage point distinction there and i think that introduces a question about equity among parks which many people have mentioned today. We were able to look at specifically those parks labelled as parks serving equity zones. As rpd established following the june 2016 Charter Amendment from opposition b establishing the zones and the park serving equity zones, we were able for the first time to look at the Park Maintenance scores in order to this will be the first year of benchmark of what is the distinction of park scores among these parks. On this slide, this is the park distribution of scores for the equity zone parks and the nonequity zones. Youll see the nonequity zone parks have average score of 89 which is above the average 88. And the equity zone parks have 2 percentage parks lower, 87, which i below the citywide average. This is an important difference to consider as rpd manages the distribution of resources to pursue equity. And its a good benchmark. We havent had this data before, so we can look forward to studying this in future years and watching the gap to ensure were moving in the right direction. Heres alice with more details. Thank you, emily, lydia, joe, and everyone who works on this fantastic program. I want to take a moment and give a shoutout to those who participate, even phil does park evaluation. Thank you to everyone in the crowd. When we go deeper from overarching park score, we look atrophiture scores. Those are contained area of a park with commonality. Youre seeing list of the features that we evaluate. You can see common one, lawns, Children Play areas, dog lay areas are tightly laid out in the map. And then there are overarching features such as buildings and amenities, which are looked at in the end. So this is a map here sorry not a map a chart of the changes in feature scores over time and you can see that the last bar is trees. Overall in the past three years, the trees have been the highest rated feature, which is in contrast to childrens play area. That third category which has consistently been among the lowest. And so because theyre among the lowest for the past three years, were going to do a little spotlight in the presentation on Children Play areas. As i mentioned, theyre the lowest scoring feature this fiscal year, 15 and 16, however, all of the top six all of the top six cpas have been renovated recently, so a great result from the bonds in the past. Commonality between some of the lowest scoring is rubber surfacing. Four ever the lowest scoring cpas, every evaluation they failed on rubber surfacing. Its something to take into account. We hope the staff look at rubber surfacing when looking at renovations or resource allocation. This is a list of planned cpa renovations due to the failing Playgrounds Initiative youve heard spoken about earlier. Those highlighted in orange are on the top sorry, our bottom 10 list of the cpa. In fact, most of those you see on the list are below the city average, so were happy to see a lot of tie between the plans of Capital Improvement and cpas that dont score about high. You heard about west portal earlier and it actually got 65 on that distribution. Just missed the cutoff of being in the bottom 10 . Its exciting to see movement on renovations moving forward. Were just excited to see, as phil mentioned, were in the era of data, citywide and rpd. So we hope this information on scores at a feature level and park level can be used in operational decisions moving forward. We can go even deeper than features. Lydia mentioned within the features there are elements. She mentioned cleanliness. Thats one. We also evaluate graffiti, signage, structures, seating, a whole variety of elements of a feature that can be evaluated. So again, due to time, well just look at two. Were going to look at graffiti and cleanliness, those are generally hot topics in the public. You can see, weve done a spatial cluster analysis to determine what areas of the city are experiencing high rates of graffiti and low rates of graffiti n. The southern part of thesy, there are cluster. Something pointed out operation ply, internally, staff knows that Mission Delores park receives high rates of graffiti. Talking about how can we apply policies to combat graffiti in areas such as this hot spot in the southerning area of the city . How can we take the data and make it operational . We often see high levels of graffiti in skate parks. Youll see the same distribution list and you can identify the lowest scoring on graffiti are in fact skate parks. Due to time, ill touch on cleanliness. Its one of the widest spreads of distribution. There is a big range from 33 up to 100 . We wanted to highlight some of the troubles that for example, our lowest scoring park, embarcadero plaza, deals with not just high volume tourists and then also workers during lunch time, high homeless population. Using the data to look forward how to improve cleanliness, focussing on those three areas would be a good choice. Great, so i know you want more information. So youre in luck. There is an annual report, which was recently released, that has all the data, map for each feature. Highest and lowest. We have a case study of the lowest scoring park. A lot of rich information there. And quarterly we updated website which is the sf parks score wiebely account and that will show up to date information at the park and feature level. A lot of information out there. We are open for questions. If you have any. President buell lets do commission questions first. Commissioner low. Commissioner low i think what this data, it does give us feedback as to a sense of where we can guide and invest our resources. Certainly the northern part of the city, with the exceptings of port smith square, embarcadero plaza, the turk hyde mini park, the Southeast Quadrant is really the opportunity for us to really invest our resources. It bears out from what weve sensed and this data really supports that. It does show, though, that year over year there was a 1 increase from 20152016. But 2016 to 2017, there was 2 jump and i was wonni wondering you had comments of why we had the 2 jump as opposed to the annual 1 . Ill trying to tackle that. There is a couple of factors in my mind. First of all, these are measurements that are taken in points in time. And there are mix of Data Collected about park futures, deferred maintenance that doesnt move very much. And things like cleanliness that moves a lot. And can vary on the day that the evaluation occurs, which is why we do it four times. But still. So youre going to see movement there. I was interested to see the drop in restroom scores from 15 to 16 and im trying to think what that may be, although it was a drop of pun point. I think prop b is working. I think the planning were doing, the focus on equity and while we still have work to do, if you go back to taylors presentation, youll see that 5 of Capital Investment for every one dollar is invested in the equity zone parks. Were making those investments. We see Alice Chalmers on the list, we just completed tennis court and Basketball Court renovations and its on the playground list. So were using all of the data to make investments and we have a year or so under our belt. Resurfacing, attacking some of the deferred maintenance issues that were capable of attacking. And thats helping. The other thing we did was we made a staffing decision at some of the parks in the southern part of the city where we created extra gardener complex, which covers parks in the southeast. We made staffing decisions as well. We dont have the resources to pull everything from one part of the city to put it to the other. We measure carefully acreage, the challenges associated with different property. When they make the staffing allocation decisions, we did have the ability to create this extra complex, so we were able to give some of our more challenging parks, our staff in some of our more challenging park areas, fewer parks to manage which has happened. And with more investment, well continue to do that. Now with the new Software Data from the Controllers Office, how do those two interplay in future planning . Again, commissioner mcdonnell asked how are you going to make decisions on what projects you tackle. So prop b, weve committed to put aside youre going to hear in in january and february 15 million a year were reserving for deferred maintenance. That comes before you, its for things likes court resurfacing, field, irrigation, boilers, different sorts of things. Were being much more careful we will look at the condition of those features based on data from the Controllers Office and this Capital Asset data. I would say that as an aside, the challenge for the Park Maintenance structure, Park Maintenance core structure, it is a mix of cleanliness and deferred maintenance features. What the life cycle system does, is really just Capital Asset classes and their condition. Then were able to make comparisons between parks in underserved neighborhoods and citywide. Were already doing this, but were formalizing a process to look at all three data sources to make prioritization decisions about investment. I think thats how we do it. Bond planning will include actually if you remember the Playground Task force, it was a mix of the criteria that you looked at, was a mix of controller Park Maintenance data on the playground, then the presence of pressure treated lumber. So that criteria, and you looked at high youth density, lowincome neighborhoods. So in a sense that was a little bit of a precursor for using all of the three systems for making prioritization decisions. So somehow its brought together there is a little bit of overlap quite frankly, but maybe a little more maybe a smidgen more subjectivity to be honest, in the park evaluation process, because there are moments in time. The capital process has a lot of sophisticated background how long is this access supposed to last from engineering perspective . And then you have where is it located . And then that gets to the heart of the equity issues were facing. President buell commissioner mcdonnell. Commissioner mcdonnell i always look forward to this perform, its telling in terms of opportunity for celebration, the aggregate growth is fantastic, and continued concern. In particular, the park scores in terms of the optics of this map are telling. In that, it certainly more data is better. But i guess a concern i have, particularly when you go to the equity zones and comparison of equity and nonequity on the range that is true painfully true in the equity zones versus the non, that at the risk of being at the risk of being controversial, do we need more data to tell us where to focus . I would argue we dont. Because at some point, we know what we know and we know enough to know where we need to be focusing our resources. I get the political context. I get the challenges, general manager pointed out in terms of you cant pick things up and move them physically or otherwise to other places. But it would seem to me that the conversation, whether its the geobond conversation, Capital Asset conversation, should start with, heres where we focus. And there are other things well do by necessity, safety, et cetera, but heres where were going to start. I would hope as we again go through this process, that will be the leading mantra, because it seems we have in the past at least, backed into, as opposed starting, were going to focus in these areas, these ways and other things well do, theyll be by exception. The one question i have is its a small question, you ended if you want more data, its online. It wasnt clear if that was rpd online, or controllers online . Controller online. Anywhere. Let me offer a smidgen of context on that. I know were out of time. The more data, the more were unlayering the onion. Five years ago, the bottom half of the city was red. Red, like 6070 red. And 85 and above is considered under this model to be a wellmaintained park. And we have now were getting there. We still have work to do. And you tie that with the equity metrics, where were able to monitor the level of investment were making in the underserved has neighborhoods, whether its bay view, exsellsier, and the other neighborhoods that have scored lower. Were going to continue to reap that. Your points are extremely well taken, but i think youre
