Hello, my name is tom steele, and im here to represent flagging in the park. Were a small Grassroots Group who organize Community Building gatherings in the National Memorial grove five times a year, which i assume arent familiar with, except, perhaps, for phil. So as these events started 23 years ago at the height of the aids epidemic, when a small group of friends gathered in the newly established grove to celebrate still being alive in the face of a very uncertain future. As well as to remember those already lost to the plague, these folks got together to do this by dancing together with vibrant silk flags such as these and i just wanted to show you these. They look like this, made of silk, and hand tie tiedyed. For smrkwe believe those who wee lost trafficking so young would want to be remembered for their vibrant lives. Our events are always free and typically wellattended by regulars, for whom we feel we provide an uplifting experience in these times of growing isolation in our society. To spanned beyond our established core crowd, we very happy to be embraced. For the most part, we do our own thing, and most of society is not aware of what we do. So were very happy to ar arrange a special event that day to represent the diverse vibrancy of our beautiful park and to demonstrate the beautiful aid memorial, and well show how to dance with flags, bands, hoops, and i hope well see some of you there. Thank you. Chairwoman audrey and then bob. Good morning, commissioners. My name is audrey engals, and im here on behalf of the jamestown organization. We are serving thousands of students and families in our after School Programs and other programs throughout our community. When we heard about this possible historical celebration event, we wanted to come and support the bid. And after the presentation that lisa just gave, im even more excited. One of our programs is a local performing ensemble. This is our most dedicated group of high school and transitionalaged youth performers, who have not only performed all over San Francisco and the bay area, but also around the world. These students meet once a week to hone their skills. One of our core values of the organization is artavision, which a combination of art and activist. These kids are singersongwriter and performers and music producers, who use their talent to bring awareness to different issues affecting our community, whether it is through drumming or theater works, and everything in between. Local local is celebrating the people through their ideas, their art and their activism. Wmost, if not all of our students, and all of our arts program. Steve actually,have grown un francisco, and have many memories of Golden Gate Park, whether that is from going to the playground, or going to other events, or visiting the museums and other attractions throughout the park. The celebration of Golden Gate Park is not just a celebration of land and trees, but of celebrating San Francisco and its dedication to the arts. Our performing ensemble just this past year performed at the academy of science, and perform at the amphitheater every year. Many of our students throughout the years have also made great use of the rec and Park Departments programs and have worked as student counsellors. I was just telling my own 14yearold daughter she should get a job with rec and park because it would lead to graitd greater opportunities for her in the future. We all as individuals, and as a community, value our parks for the enrichment they have provided us. It would mean a lot for our students to be able to perform at such an historic event as they watch the community shift and change to unfamiliar territory as their friends and families are displaced. They understand as young folks of color, performing music and dance from traditions, their performance itself is an act of empowerment and a declaration that they are still here and that they matter. We would love for the city to say that to themselves by inviting them to perform at such an historic event. I encourage you all to take the time later to actually look them up, to see their faces, and to see what it is that they do because theyre my pride and joy and my work, and i think you guys would feel the same if you saw it yourself. Thank you very much. Chairwoman bob . Good morning, commissions, my name is bob feedler, the executive director of the stern growth festival. Im here to indicate our support for and intent to participate in the golden gate anniversary, 150th anniversary celebration. Given we plan to do that by providing local artists and musicians to perform in different locations at different times throughout the celebration. And given that the theme is that it is everybodys park, that really marries quite well with our ethos, and we plan to provide a lot of diversity in those musicians, and hopefully highlight some different neighborhoods and Different Things to welcome everybody to the park and so given our 83years of partnership with the rec and Park Department, for which were extremely grateful. Grate, were delighted and honored to be part of this celebration. Thank you. Thank you. Chairwoman is there any other Public Comment on these items . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Commissioner lowe . You about to say i think we should take these up separately. For item 7, i move to approve. Second it. So moved. Commissioner lowe . On matter 8, i think we should be in the practice of getting a certificate of appropriateness first before coming to this commission, and understand that is not going to be heard until january 15th. I will move to advance this matter, but i think the better practice is that before coming to this commission, and when this commission is the last stop of approval, that we should have the certificate of appropriateness in front of us. Second, i wanted to note in our board packet that was attached was a term sheet; it wasnt the actual agreement. I understand there is an agreement to come later. Again, i think this should be a practice where if this is the authorizing act under chapter 31, we should have the actual agreement, not the term sheet. On that basis, i would like to first note that under article 7 of the park code, this does give this commission the authority to approve the observation wheel and would move to approve to authorize the general manager to we would want the general manager to come back to us on our next Commission Meeting in january, and i believe that is january 16th, to report back, one, the certificate of appropriateness was issued by the Historic Preservation commission. And, two, to report back that indeed the agreement and permit that was issued to the operator is on the same terms and conditions that was in our commission packet. Thank you. Is that in a form of a motion . Ill second that. Moved and seconded. All those in favor . Yea. So moved. Chairwoman item 9, the park and maintenance standards annual report. Good morning, commissioners. My name is ben, and im with the San Francisco recreation parks department, and im one of the administrators for the Park MaintenanceStandards Program we have here, rawprunning alongsidehere. For ms is my second year as part of the program. I am very excited to present to you our scores. What is new this year is that we decided to take a deeper dive into the scores. We decided to dissect it, an additional layer, so we could get more out of the data. And, also, we are, during this presentation, going to show you the controls Office Online dashboard, where members of the public and people such as yourselves, the commissioners, can go on line, look up your favorite parks and learn a little more about their scores. So without further adieu, i will introduce to you Allison Emily from the controls office, who will complete the rest of this presentation. Thank you. Commissioners, thank you for having me here. Can you guys hear me . We can. Usually my voice is so soft. Im, again, very proud to present this report. It was a great team effort, a collaboration between the Controllers Office and r. P. D. Im going to just go through quickly some highlevel summaries that we took out of the report, and them emily, my colleague, will spend most of the time whacking you walkinu through this incredible new dashboard that allows people to explore the data as much as they want. Ill begin. Just before i get into the scores, i want to remind everyone kind of how this program works. There is an evaluation form for every park. In fact, some parks are so large theyre split up into smaller sections. There is a set of standard criteria that need to be met, and each park is broken up into segments called features. For example, childrens play areas are one feature. Trees are another feature. And then an aggregate score is made. We can look at overall skiers foscores for all parks, t we can drill down deeper and say what about certain parks . This year in fiscal year 19, the average score is 92 , which is an increase from prior years. We are increasing slowly every year. And you can see one of the main drivers of this increase is actually just a decrease in the overall thread. For several years we would have out lier outliers. So that means throughout the city, wherever you are and whatever park you go to, youre experience will be more similar to someone else in a different part of the city. However, as we presented before, we do continue to see a geographic disparity between the north and the south. So there are no topscoring parks really in the southern half of the city. This is a map of the 10 top scoring and 10 lowest score parks in the city. What i want to talk about a little bit is something new that weve started to do this year. Weve created a methodology to kind of group the kinds of criteria that we look at. So we look at things like is there a certain amount of litter or graffiti anywhere . And we could see things like, is a wooden slat loose on a bench, which is dangerous. These are considered routine maintenance, which requires specialized skills to clean up, but with have the specialized staff and resources to do so. And the time category is repair. These are repairs of structural projects that will take a larger budget and a longer timeframe to fix. We wanted to create these categories to help our staff kind of determine not just which parks are struggling and where, but what will it take to improve the response to these parks. It is a very different resource allocation to address problems of litter than it is to address cracks in asphalt. So while we are still perfecting the methodology, we were able to find some kind of interesting first takes. One of which we just looked at the extremes, which parks are on each end of the spectrum which need the most help with cleanup versus need the most help with repair. We can compare hilltop park, which needs cleanup help and repair, and we see it has struggled a lot with graffiti in the past, so it can be what is driving this category break down. And mckinley square, in the other end, has more structural problems, so cracks in the asphalt, for example. So when r. P. Staff looks it these, they can approach it differently. Im going to turn it over to my colleague emily, who is going to take you through that online dashboard, and were willing to take any questions at the end. Thank you. Thanks, alice. Hi, everyone. Im elli Emily Gonzales with the Controllers Office. We heard youre really interested in the accessability of this information. That is a datarich program and we produce a lot of reports, but how can residence and operational staff as well leverage this data . So that was the lens we were taking. We were updating our dashboard to make sure this data was more accessible or unsdzable. Understandable. Im going to walk you through the dashboard so you will see exactly what you can expect to find there. Let me see if i can do this from here. Our overall park scores, Park Maintenance scores is just sfcontrollerparks. And on that page youll find all of our reports from previous years, including this one. And also a link to our dashboard right here in the middle. Once you follow that link, i have already preloaded it youll get to the dashboard and land on his landing page. We have information just about the program itself. You know, how these scores are calculated, which parks are included,etc. So that kind of Program Level information here at the front. And these tabs are really where you can dive into the data. Lets take a look at the first one, the citywide trends tab. Theryou can look at the citywide parks score lets just follow that one, as an example. Here is before the dashboard is interactive. These are all of the sites that are evaluated here on the map on the right. And then in this table, in this graph, you can see youre looking at the citywide average park score over time, over the last five fiscal years. You can change that graph to show how the minimum score has changed, which alice just highlighted. By clicking minimum score, you see this changes to represent the minimum score, and youve seen that in crease over time. You could also look at the standard deviation, which is a measure of how spread out the scores are across the city, and we have seen that that has decreased over the last five years as well. So a way to interact with the state in a new way. Im a little snow on navigating this web. But you can look on the same citywide trends tab, the highest and lowest score parks, and you can see all of the years of this data. You can look through p. D. F. Reports, and now you can look and click through the past five fiscal years and seeing before the top 10and bottom 10 maintenancescored parks are. And you can click on those specific parks. Here we can click on buchanan street mall, and it will not only adjust to zoom in on that park, but will show you the feature scores at that park. Sites are divided into separate features, like lawns, hard scapes, etc. And you can see that granular data right here. I want to take you through the other tabs just briefly. Obviously you can explore this at your own leash at home. Leisure at home. Now you can look up any park and find information about that park. So you can just search a park by typing it in. Or, here, ill just select one. Alice chalmers. You can see when you have selected a park, youll see that the map zooms and on where that site is, and youll see overtime how that park has been scoring in their annual scores as compared two the citywide average, which is the gray line. And below youll see the feature scores at that park, and how the feature scores compare to the citywide average feature scores. Where is my Neighborhood Park really shining compared to other parks in the city, and where is it struggling as far as maintenance. I think this is an amazing resource for residents. My friends have already been using it. And ill just quick through the other three tabs. The district tab is supervisor districts. This one has a map shaded by the average Park Maintenance score for each supervisor district. You can just click on any district. Ill click district 11 here, to see its average score. And then all of the parks that were within that supervisor district, their annual park score and how it compared to the citywide average. Just a key finding from the report is district 11 has been the lowest score supervisor district in terms of the average Park Maintenance score for the last five years. So you can kind of see those trends overniem. Anovertime. And you can select te fiscal year to kind of track those. Ill move on to the equityzoned portion. You can filter by year. It will show you the different parks that will were labelled equity zone in that year. And this shows the score distribution for equityzone and nonequityzone parks. Im not going to go into all of these, because the dashboard is use to your own adventure session. Every single parks feature here is listed for users to interact with. So maybe im really interested in childrens play areas in particular. We can click on childrens play areas and really go into a deep dive. As this is showing f. Y. 19, but you can select a different year. How many play areas did we evaluate . 161. They had an an rag average score of 81. And then you can see all of the score distributions for all of those childrens play areas. There are a lot of ways to interact at this point, and im not going to go into it, but you can scroll and see all of the childrens play areas, or click on them from the map. You can click in the history gram and then the map will filter. And you could do that for lowest scores, too, and, again, you can do this for all of the features. Were really excited with this new improvement. I just have one more slide for you all, back to the power point. Okay. Our next steps are in our improvements to the program. So something we havent spoken about is the Data Collection of this data, done by Staff Members in the Controllers Office and in rec and park. Theyre currently using a more outdated app, which will be transitioning over through a new app by estry, and the Data Collection tool will be built in that app. And they will be working to implement this tool in the next fiscal year. It is our biggest task of improving that. And well be expanding the maintenance task, and we think it is really promising to look at this data in kind of a new way. Finally, i wanted to highlight for you something we height highlighted in the report we have over 100 evaluators in dozens of departments, which are going out with the standards to evaluate parks. It is crucial that everyone is applying the standards in the same way, and able to identify the same types of issues across time and across parks. Thats something that weve been interested in, but we want to expand that analysis and the future. We look forward to your questions. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. A very interesting presentation. Mr. Ginsburg . Excuse me, do you want to ask for Public Comment. Chairwoman i have one blue card from albert. And then ill see if there is anyone else. Good morning, people. They was talking about standard deviations and statistical mechanics. When i look at it, it will be the application. How do you apply standard dedeviation. She is talking about how the numbers, as they decrease, there is less deviation. But there is another part to it. Of the averages, there is also the Key Statistics to the averages that can be thrown out. Ive been looking it over, and i kind of seem to come up with what is the lowest score, such as mckinley, and it should be immediate attention. But then it wouldnt be so much of a drag on the other scores. So to make it more useful, this type of controller evaluation, probably something i would think about is money. They would be allocating from Park Maintenance, deferred maintenance. What are the funding that is available to immediately deal with a stat location, such as mckinley. Meanwhile, as i look through all of this, it looks great, but there has been a continual increase. Of the Park Maintenance, i would like to commend Operations Director danny kern to keep up the good work, and hopefully we can get your scores up. Thank you. Thank you. Chairwoman albert. I dont know if it is good morning or good afternoon. Still good morning. Good morning. All right. Can i see this projector again, please . Do you have it working . Okay. So right here youre looking at this october 7th, 2019 rec and park, strategic planning. So basically about the Equity Analysis and met metrics, 2019, discussion and possible action. There is an issue with that i have. Here we go, change please keep that on. So there is a change and score, figure five, increases and do decreases in parks scores in 2018 and 2019. Guess what . Table four. Largest decreases in parks n, but decreases, decline, in parks scores. Here it is, park 165, lewiston playground. The scores are 85 for fiscal year 18 and 19, and then it changes, minus seven. Here is this is lewiston playground. And this is the playground scores, and citywide scores, and it shows the decline. Here is a map this map shows the southeast district. These is the equity zones. The equity zones show rec and Park Department parks within equity zones and other parks, and basically your guys this is all here. It doesnt lie. Here it is again, 2015, 81. 19 im real suspect about these numbers. District 9, p. S. A. , three im very concerned about the numbers. I believe theyre lower than what you guys are saying they are. [buzzer] save to help oh, no. Total managed assets, educated three equity metrics, average parks evaluation score. [inaudible] a. D. A. Compliance needed, equity deficiencies, equity metrics, subsection h1, and shall include mitigating any equity deficiencies in the plan. Im so close to finishing. [inaudible] one more. San francisco, i need to talk to somebody. I want somebody from the lodge. Thank you. Mr. Ginsburg burg . Commissioner, i just wanted to thank the partnership at the Controllers Office, emily and alice, theyre like the money ball team of park scorers. Weve got data that we can slice and dice in any particular way. And i also really wanted to thank ben for his management of our program, and of course danny and lydia, who have been around. This is a really, really good tool. This morning before i came here, i was doing my park inspection in section one in the fuchsia delv del of gold gate park. And if anybody wants to do a park inspection, what weve got the tool on our apps. Its pretty cool. Thank you very much. Seeing no other comments, that was information only. Thank you. That was great information. And it is a great app, and well continue to enjoy it. And congratulations to the staff. The numbers keep getting better. Chairwoman item 10, is there anyone who wants to speak during Public Comment who did not speak during item 4. I would. You spoke already. Ive got a lot of hot wind here. Sorry. Chairwoman were now on item 11. Commissions, do you have any matters to raise . Just one. I would want to direct the Commission Secretary to work with the permits and reservation staff on updating the permits and reservation policy. I think it needs to be updated. Thank you, commissioner. Chairwoman okay. Any Public Comment on this item . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Item 12, new bis agenda business Agenda Setting . Seeing none. Chairwoman any Public Comment. Public comment is closed. Item 13, Public Communications. Any comment on the Public Communications . Please come forward. Again, my name is albert san. Advocates for a. D. A. , and friends of mclaren park. You know, when i got this announcement and i went online on computer, the server doesnt work. So, in other words, i distinct do idoesnt work. So i cant do it from home. So i had to go to the over here on the third floor, i believe it is, where they have all they put out these i know you guys supply it, but then there are commissioner documents i really apologize. Im real tired. To get that information was extremely difficult. Even they had an extremely difficult time trying to navigate the computer. This is in city hall. So i think under the sunshine law, im requesting for this information that you guys use to make a decision, all you commissioners and i respect you guys. I know this is not an easy job. But the public has a right to be involved and to be heard. So im asking on the sunshine law to make this more accessible. You know, trying to deal with the law is unbelievably difficult. So i would ask for more transparency. This is public funds. This is not your slush fund anymore. The bonds are public money, our tax dollar from the ballots. Thank you. Thank you. Chairwoman is there any other Public Comment. Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Were on item 14, adjournment. Moved. Pie seconded. Thank you very much. adjourned at 11 37 [gavel] thank you. Are we good, madame clerk . Good. Good morning, everyone. My apology for arriving late to the chambers. The meet willing come to order. This is december 11, 2019 regular meeting of the budget and finance committee. I am sandra lee fewer, chair of the funds and finance committee, joined by katherine stephanie and rafael mandelman. Our clerk is ms. Wang. Id like to thank sfgov tv for broadcasting this meeting. Madame clerk, do you have any announcements . Yes, please make sure to silence all cell phones and electronic devices, complete the speaker cards to be included as part of the file should be submitted to the clerk. Items acted upon today will appear on the january 7, 2020 board of supervisors agenda, unless otherwise stated. Thank you very much. Please call item number one. Resolution approving an updated Emergency Declaration of the San FranciscoPublic Utilitieses commission to repair the southeast Treatment Plant final effluent force main for a total estimated cost not to exceed 6. 250 million. And i think we have michael tran here. Thats correct. Good morning, supervisors. Members of the budgets and finance committee, clerk of the board. Im a project manager with the San FranciscoPublic Utilities commission. Specifically for the southeast outfall crossing emergency bypass. Im here today to present this project as related to the initial Emergency Declaration presented here january 2019. Id like to direct your attention to the powerpoint presentation. As a broad overview, this is a picture of the booster pump station that will be geting into more detail. Id first like the start off with a little bit of background for the project site and a project location. The booster pump station is located at 3rd and arthur, approximately 3 1 2 miles south of oracle park, 1 1 2 miles south of the new chase stadium located in at 3rd and arthur in district 10 of San Francisco. The Treatment Plant treats approximately 2 3 of the citys sewage. The booster pump station experiences approximately 50 to 60 million gallons per day on average and up to 110 millions per day peak, which is pressurized through the southeast outfall system into a pair of force mains crossing the creek. The longer term project is scheduled in targeting 2023 to permanently replace the crossing at islais creek. Id also like to recap the history of this Emergency Declaration. So on october 18 of 2018, waste water staff of San Francisco p. U. C. Detect add potential leak at the islais creek crossing. And what is the leaking force mean . The leaking force means continual operations that there is a noncompliance with the southeast plants and in addition this leaking pipe is located inside isslais creek which is identified by Regional Water quality board as a list of impaired body water body. Subsequently on october 22, San Francisco p. U. C. Issued an Emergency Declaration according to San Francisco administrative code chapter 6. 60. On december 26, 2018, San Francisco p. U. C. Revised the Emergency Declaration again, based on findings from project staff that found poor soil conditions and additional challenges which increased the anticipated amount up to 5 million and subsequently approved by the board of supervisors with an authorization under chapter 6. 60 and chapters 21. 15. On september 25, we subsequently revised this Emergency Declaration again based on active construction and feedback and recommendations from the project team to increase the not to exceed budget up to 6. 25 million from the 4. 12 million. And ill get into that in a little more detail. One last recap from the initial design that was presented here in january 2019. Id like to illustrate the initial design which is shown on the screen, the blue lines illustrate the approximate location of the crossing of islais creek. The bottom blue line illustrates the profile of this pipeline. The red line illustrate what is we attempted to construct and the initial construction duration we estimated to be nine months. And, of course, we mentioned the overall project including Construction Management and design and construction to not to exceed 5 million and the project will be built in guidelines as a statutorily exempt project. Id like to present the challenges, which is the reason why were here today. On the lefthand side photo you can see one of the contractors, twoiing inside a dry hopper dam immediately within the waterway. If you can see the types of soil we were encountering, young bay mud, very unclassified type of artificial fill. The right hand side is oriented a little bit different. This is a result from the survey. At the islais creek bridge is shown on the lefthand side with a reasonably large depression found on the center of the creek under the water and this will help present a redesign that had to happen last minute. Bottom right hand photo is a snapshot from one of our local medias and this was and you can see on there its identified as a whale sighting. Specifically ali the wayward whale and she happened to visit our project site immediately prior to our mobilization. So, what this necessitated was additional biologist active and very and very adamant type of active monitoring by our Construction Management team and also by our biologists on site. A lot of open communications with our contractor as well. What happened with the challenges that we encountered. Immediately prior to that mobilization, we had to redesign. Instead of following the existing blue alignment we actually created a new design to follow to have a direct connection between the northern, southern shorelines. And our construction duration, we actually shortened it by approximately three months. Actual construction and heavy construction was substantially complete as of october 2019. And we demobilized in november 2019 and we are planning for final site work such as sidewalk restoration, fence restoration and permit closeout this month. Now with actual Construction Costs in, we are still negotiating final change orders but the project team is confident we can stay under 5. 5 million. Project is still categorized as statutory exempt under ceqa guidelines. Id like to help illustrate the specialized construction techniques that were used. As mentioned earlier, the project was substantially complete as of october 8, 2019, almost a week in advance of the october 15 official wet weather start date in our area. Theres minor site work remaining at this time. The bottom left hand photo illustrates the utilization of a specialized crane and barge configuration which lowered what you can see as a knife gate valve into a dry coffer dam pit t. Middle photo is a relatively uncommon type of construction. Its called floating and sinking and used throughout the country. But reasonably uncommon in the San Francisco bay area. And you can see the pipe floating in the center of the creek temporarily before its floated and sunk into place. Righthand photo shows the final connection toward the northern connection structure. In summary, im here today to request that the support of this committee to approve the revised Emergency Declaration. Thank you. Any questions to my colleagues . Seeing none, could we have the b. L. A. Report . Good morning, chair fewer. The board of supervisors is being asked to prove an updated Emergency Declaration for the slave creek work and the previous resolution was approved in february of this year. I believe mr. Tran has appropriately described the nature of the work. The increase is actually in the authorized amount from 4. 9 million to 6. 2 million in the resolution. On table one, page three of our report, youll see that the aftersbunlt provided by p. U. C. As 5. 5 million. Therefore, we recommend a reduction in the resolution by 750,000 from 6. 2 to 5. 5. We recommend approval as amended. Thank you very much. Mr. Tran, do you agree with a recommendation from the b. L. A. . Yes. Based on the actual Construction Costs. Great. This opens it up for public xhefnlt any members of the public would like to comment on item one . Seeing none, its now closed. Id like to maiption a approve the amendment brought forth by the b. L. A. And make a move to advance it to the board with the amended. Item number two. Resolution approving and authorizing a 50year lease with one 16year option to extend between the portion commission and t. Z. K. Broadway hotel venue and Public Open Space development at sea wall 323 and 324 with an annual minimum base rent equal to no less than 1 million to commence following board approval. Thank you very much. Id like to make a motion to move this and continue this item to the meeting of january 8. Before i do that, id like to take Public Comment. Any members of the public would like to comment on item number two. Seeing none, public sxhenlt now closed. Id like to make a motion to continue this item to the meeting of january 8. If we can take that without objection. Thank you very much, colleagues. Madame clerk, please call item number three. Resolution the department of technology to accept an incoming gift of Consulting Services from google inc. For a term of six months to commence upon board approval valued at 750,000. Thank you very much. And we have the interim director for the office of civic innovation. Good morning, supervisors. Good morning, members of the committee. This resolution will allow the department of technology to accept a gift of Consulting Services from a civic bridge partner organization, google incorporated. Specifically, under this project, the civic Bridge Program team will assist the Planning Department and other departments to make the reporting, collection of housing data more efficient. And i have a brief presentation that id like to share with you. The bridge is a program that matches talent with departments to address specific policy or operational challenges facing those departments. Under the civic Bridge Program, departments identify Service Needs that can benefit from pro bono assistance from outside parties. So this project, we will be working with s. F. Planning and other related departments and a team of volunteers from google who will work full time for six months on this multidepartment city team. Gaog is a Founding Partner of civic bridge, having worked with mo cd on the predevelopment of the Affordable Housing portal, the onestop shop residents for people. This pipeline project will have the goal to understand, improve and make more efficient the reporting and collection of housingrelate data. The quarterly housing pipeline report helps city decisionmakers and the public understand the volume of units moving through this pipeline. Currently, the housing report is compiled through a cumbersome, time intensive, manual process and consequentially is not timely or accurate. The team the Pro Bono Team will assess the data and understand the points of our city staff and project sponsors throughout this housing pipeline. This will help the city provide greater visibility and to the housing approval process, identify and recommend business process and prevents and communicate and coordinate with the production of housing in San Francisco. Thank you. Do you have any questions . Im available. Colleagues, any questions or comments . Using none, there is no b. L. A. Report on this. Lets open this up for Public Comment. Any members of the public like to comment on item number three . Seeing none, Public Comments now closed. Id like to move this to the board with a positive recommendation. Thank you very much. Thank you. Madame clerk, please call item number four. Hearing to consider the release of reserved funds to the Arts Commission placed on the budgets and finance committee reserve in the amount of 2. 6 million to administer grants in the areas of Arts Education, affordable space, core support for organizations and support for individual artists.

And i have my colleagues here, matthew guedeau and jason blackwell. The arts impact endowment required a fiveyear allocation plan which is a Needs Assessment based similar to the childrens Needs Assessment. In the winter and spring of 2019 we engaged over 3500 residents of San Francisco as well as visitors and had various input into what the new arts impact endowment should support. Here you see some of the statistics in terms of who we engaged across the city through focus groups, citywide survey and a citywide town hall at the veterans building. We had very clear outcomes of prioritis that actually mirrored the polling of proposition e. Number one was Arts Education and youth arts to what is affordability of space and support for more affordable space in the city. Core support for arts organizations and Affordable Housing and supports for artists, individual artists. So the Cultural Services allocational plan was approved by the Arts Commission on march 4. Consequence subsequently was approved by the city administrator naomi kelly with this breakdown. Were requesting the approval today of 2. 6 million with these percentage breakdowns in these four core areas. All the funding would be granltzed out through competitive grant making through an r. F. P. Process jointly administered by grants for arts and the Arts Commission. In these areas, just to highlight about what the recommendations have been from community engagement, including a twoday working group which meant in may of 2019, so a new grant category to support intergenerational learning, connecting young people with intergenerational learning, supporting the extension of current teaching Artist Residency grants to support traditional general residence. Right now were focused on creative writing but we would expand that work. Creating a new grant to support creative pathways for youth up to age 24 and providing opportunities to bring constituents together to further conversation an innovation approaches to supporting youth in the arts. On affordable space and infrastructure, we know ownership is the best way to keep arts organizations in the city. So, we would continue our work in supporting pathways to ownership through partnerships with groups like the Community Art stabilization trust. Here you see the cass partnership which is a great model of how we can acquire permanently dierdre stricted and affordable cultural use. As well t new grant categoris for cohorts of organizations and individuals who want to foster new partnerships around shared cultural space and while its providing technicals nance Needs Assessments and Financial Planning and other issues that would help support ownership structures. Well expand on grant for the arts programs that support Capacity Building for longterm sustainability through core operate and support and Capacity Building and we would continue our work supporting individual artists across arts disciplines including a new art Market Program which we surveyed your offices to see who might be interested. Learning institute to offer various Capacity Building and Business Development support opportunities for individual artists and then support through cultural maxes to make sure that were reaching all parts of the city through this new fund.
