An incident on november 9th involving a gardiner and public trainee and one of the park rangers left two of the three with minor injuries they are recuperating from. It is a reminder that the parks are not immune from the larger problems the city faces. I want to thank our employees, all of them, particularly those on the front line, for their courage and desire to protect the community. In both instances the staff did.

So with that, we will see you at the 90th holiday Tree Lighting december 3rd, which is tuesday. That concludes the general managers report. I have one blue card for this item. Albert. This the general managers report. I am an advocate for the mark. That is why i am here. We have issues over there. I have been following the money, looking at the Capital Improvement project so i am looking to see where the money is going to the tennis courts. Mcclaren park. It is fat bu it is flat. I am here for the people who mead in advocates. We need access to the park. If god is willing it is going to happen. Until the day i die, i will be here asking you guys. You spent a lot of money on the world cup. That was a flop. I think we need to realize these parks. I read your Mission Statement this morning, i read the general managers Mission Statement. It really accessibility for all. I am going to be following the money. I will hear the capital report. I have been reading it. Numbers dont lie. Mcclaren park needs more money. Make sure the wheelchairs can use it. Reading about the federal government. In there they talk about maintenance. If you put the paths in the trails and change the asphalt because of petroleum spirits, take into consideration these paths have been there for 40 years. Now they are deteriorating. They need more maintenance. This is from the federal government. I have been doing a lot of research. I wish i didnt have to, but i got all my neighbors together, about five mothers and went out there with lauren. She has only been here three months. You need people willing to do the work like alexis. She is worth her weight in gold. I plan on working with folks and, hopefully, we can get something done and get accessibility for the disabled. Public comment is closed. We are on item 4. General Public Comment up to 15 minutes. This will be continued to item 10. Members of the public may address the commission on items not on the agenda. With respect to agenda items, you will have time to address the council at the end of the meeting. Richard, ms. Clause, then sunshine. Good morning commissioners. Richard roth man. I represent district 1 on park and open space Advisory Committee. I want to talk about bicycles. The city wants to put in or is putting in bike stands across the city. They want to put in one on the cabrilla playground. The parking in front of the playground is needed for kids to go and their parents to drop them off in front of the playground, also they have archery classes. We have proposed other locations on the edge in Golden Gate Park on 36th and 30th and found out that they cannot be used because rec and park has a contract with the bicycle rental company that covers the whole park, and yet they only have bicycles rental stations in the eastern half, one on stanyan street and one by the concourse. I dont see why they should expand to the western area or else limit the contract, and also change the contract so that m. T. A. Could put in two bike e stations or bike stations right inside the park on 36th and 30th. These would not compete with the bicycle rental companies. These bikes would mostly be used for commuters and having them in this location will alleviate having to eliminate parking. Parking is a very big hot issue out in the richmond district. A lot of people double up, and we get people parked there who commute downtown so i hope rec and park can be flexible and work with the Supervisors Office in the community, change the contract. I dont think it is very hard to amend a contract and let these two bike stations on park property. Thank you very much. Thank you. Ms. Clause, sunshine and then albert. Happy holidays. Good to see all of you, commissioners. Happy hom happy holidays. We are looking forward to be down at union square on the diamonds performing and bringing quite cheery fun to everyone. It is good to know that the date is changed. Everybody comes for friday. I hope to see you all down there. Please let the officers know that we are coming down, too. Thank you. If than thank you. Sunshine and then albert and then matthew. Commissioners, ladies and gentlemen of parks and rec, once again it is time for our annual visit. We bring the best of what we due to the city of San Francisco just like you. Once again this year we will be in union square bringing cheer and joy to everybody that comes our way. Please let everybody know we will be there, you see, and happy merry holiday to everybody. Thank you very much. Same to you. Albert. I am albert. I am here regarding accessibility, nonobstructed right of passage or the federal government calls it path. I got this printed off the website. See the shadows . That is a hazard. There are big old holes. People with wheelchairs cant navigate. There are poles. They have to go into see the wood chips. This is pretty common with the park. They put permanent poles, like a telephone pole about four feet high right in the dead center. It is hard for the 600 found or 500pound or 300pound wheelchairs. People cant see the holes and they fall. Here is another picture. These are from your website. See that they dont show the path. It is pretty good because the shadow is there. You dont see the reality what we deal with. I brought five mothers there on saturday and lauren made a report. I want to read something to you. This is from enforcement ada part two. Equal access to parks and recreation. It is real short. Then i will get out of here for your business. C. Gateways to Job Opportunities for people with disabilities. Employment. One. This is Justice Anthony kennedy. Prejudice. We are be beginning to understand rises not from malice or hostile alone. It may result as well from insensitivity caused by simple want of careful rationale reflection or from some mechanism from people who are different in some respects from ourselves. Quite apart from historical documentation knowledge of our own human instincts teaches people that find it difficult to perform routine functions by some mental or physical impairment might seem unsettling to us unless we are guided by the better angels of our nature. Thank you very much. Thank you. Matthew. Good morning, commissioners. I am here to give a quick update on trails and mountain bikes. Surprise. I want to talk about two things which happened this past weekend. You may be aware we are talking about mountain bikes in parks for a century or more. In this case we have been working in Golden Gate Park. There is a pilot and a pilot trail sign. We just did a volunteer day. We hope this is a success. We have heard positive things so far. We hope it expands. It is not meeting all of the needs for users. At mclaren park, lauren is restarting the trails project. We hope that goes through. A comment on the park last month you approved the project which is expensive. That project was very supported in the community. They were told 1 million for this project. The trails project was controversial. I hope the new staff can resolve this controversy and see things move forward. Thank you. Any other Public Comment . Seeing none, Public Comment be is closed. We are now on item 5. Consent calendar. Any item you would like to remove from the consent calendar . No. Any Public Comment. I do have a blue card for this one. Richard. Good morning, commissioners. I want to talk about india basin. Not the financing. I was thinking Environmental Justice issue. When i looked at the structure when there was michael lee who was the project coordinator in the parks and the building when it was going in there. What has happened there is going to be coming in the 1200 units going up there of affordable housing. That particular water is going to be treated and mostly used for irrigation or whatever else they have. There is a point that i talked with michael lee, coordinator, there is also the option of connecting the water to the main sewer outside, the line that goes along embarcadero. If it is not strong enough. It is going to flood all over or cover all over all of the landscaping, all of that in the park. It is water from human use and gray water. This water contamination and the gray water is usually pretty good. There is going to be a lot of it. I would have spoken of this before and i want to get some action on Environmental Justice. That particular over run is going to go into the water area where there is going to be kayaking and canoeing and people playing around the water there. It would be a contaminant for future use. If the Planning Department would take a look at it from the rpd Planning Department, i would like them to look at the option of connecting a big building there, connecting it to the main sewer line. Presently it isnt in the planning. Thank you. Thank you. Any other Public Comment . Seeing none. Public comment is closed. I need a motion. So moved. Second. All those in favor. Aye. So moved.

We are on item 7. Golden gate park pen nissenter operating agreement. Golden gate park. Tennis center operating agreement. Good morning, commissioners, dana ketcham. I do have a document to put up. Thank you. I am here to present a discussion and possible action to authorize the department to enter into an operating agreement with lifetime for the public purpose of operating the Golden Gate ParkTennis Center and offering tennis programs for a period up to eight years. With terms substantially the term sheet dated october 22, 2019. Just a reminder. We are excited the construction on the new Tennis Center began with a groundbreaking ceremony in april. It is expected to be complete understand the fall of 2020. The new Tennis Center is 17 tennis court, one pickleball court, court lighting, a sunken court and beautiful new clubhouse including both an area for public use and for tennis learning center, which will continue at the courts serving kids from a variety of areas in the city with tennis and learning. There is also a beautiful garden area and outdoor viewing areas. Back in february of 2019, you all authorized the department to accept a grant from the Parks Alliance for the construction of the course. You also authorized us to enter into an m. O. U. Which i will go over in a minute regarding the future operation of the Tennis Center, and you authorized an r. F. P. To select an independent operator for the Tennis Center. The m. O. U. With the Parks Alliance outlined the requirements for the r. F. P. The department would enter into an agreement with an operator to oversee daytoday operations. We would conduct an r. F. P. For an operator based on experience, Operations Plan and financials. We would have an independent Selection Panel to review and make a recommendation for you to approve the selection and agreement. The existing m. O. U. Ensured continued Public Comments and review of how this operation would work into the future. That a Tennis CenterAdvisory Committee would be created called the tcac. It would form and maintain it. It would be members from a variety of different parts of the city. One must be over 60 and one under 18. There needs to be someone from the School District or local childrens organization and all members must live in San Francisco and share an interest in the sports to be played at the Tennis Center. Talking about the r. F. P. And the goals when we started. Through the operation agreement, the department envisioned an operator in charge of the daily management and annual Operations Planning for the center, ensure tennis is accessible and affordable and create a welcoming atmosphere with well organized and maintained facilities and programs. We started the r. F. P. In the spring and summer of 2018, and we informed the Tennis Community about the opportunity. We issued the rh r the we reo proposals and one that didnt meet the minimum. We posted executive summaries in march so the publico see them. We created a Selection Panel and interviewed respondents. The panel felt that just looking at the responses wasnt enough. They made two separate unannounced site visits to both respondents. They were very close, the two responses. After visiting the sites and reviewing proposals in may of 2019 the Selection Panel unanimously chose lifetime. Since that time we have been negotiating the term sheet with lifetime. A little bit about the Selection Panel. They worked really hard. They spent a lot of time. They were very impressive. One was from the Controllers Office and member of the gay and lesbian Tennis Organization and one with experience in r. F. P. Our lead operator has experience what it is like to be operator of rec and park facility. The head of the ymca of San Francisco. Someone who has financial expertise. They dug into the details, finances, looked at proposals how people would best be serving all aspects of the community. They all took time of the day to go to sites run by the other operators. What was the evaluation criteria . Importance on experience and qualification. They had to submit an Operations Plan showing they met the objective. There is a balance between people for informal versus tournaments versus lessons. Their Business Plan and financial projections. Does it make sense . Are there costs to be covered with what they are doing. Their financial capability. Do they have the money to be invested to make this work and the proposed financial terms back to the department. In the end we chose lifetime tennis. It has a lot of experience. The founder is here along with a number of the team. As you can see, their team has been in place a long time. They have a great deal of experience. They are currently working in five other cities. They have been working hard to balance the needs of tennis and sift user groups since 1993. They really are impressive as you sit down to talk to them about the challenges and needs. They understand different groups have different desires. The philosophy is to build a community to helping others improve lives through positive recreational experiences. It is impressive. People just hanging out because it is fun to be of all ages and demographics. They operate throughout the bay area. They have been renewed at their sights multiple times. You should have in your pack kept recommendations from each of the sites where they currently operate supporting the good job they have done and how they have grown carefully and thoughtfully. We did receive Public Comments on the executive summaries in march. Five were for lifetime and three were for others. The summary was presented and clear, they have won many awards. I vote for them. Lifetime has experience, breadth and depth. They have a diverse staff with programming and purposenament experience and i have a person designated as the Golden Gate Park manager. They were very positive. Moving on to that selection we moved to negotiating the proposed operating agreement. Basically all terms matched except a few modifications. Most significant one was fiveyear term with three year option to renew. In looking at startup costs to get this up and going and knowing it would take a while, we were able to negotiate a higher rent than they originally proposed was to make it eight years instead of five. That has gotten us a guaranteed payment of 275,000 over five years and 500,000 over eight years. Why is this important . Under the terms of the m. O. U. , all of the money is put into an account to keep the 10 nissenter nice, to keep the wind screens from looking at that time perked. Plus a portion of the money is going to help pay for transportation for tlc kids to the new center. Knowing we had the funding was posh. It could be a disaster. What if it is not run properly . There is an annual operating plan to be approved by the department to lay out the activities they are going to do, and i think the breadth of experience they had and positive reactions shows they know how to do it. The court fees were set a year ago. The fees for camps, clinics and that will be set in the Operations Plan. The court fees, a reminder. The week day rate for seniors is 4 for an hour. For residents 8 an hour. Nonresidents are a little higher. Usta matches. These were all approved a year ago. Pickleball fields would be assessed as the court fee which is same as above, but they play with a lot of people at a time. If seniors are 4, pickleball would be 1 per hour per person. The others are certainly alley. They would have meetings with the community and feedback. It would include facilities improvements and send benchmarks for use and activities and with reporting back on a monthly basis, there will be the regular meetings and we will have it set at least two months before open. They will reach out to meet with more members of the community. They are required to meet monthly at the beginning of the lease. As i mentioned, the rent payments, 90 go to Maintenance Fund and 10 to the tlc. Once the Maintenance Fund is at 25,000 it is 25 maintenance and 25 tlc and remainder to the department. This can be adjusted in the future based on needs. I think i have covered this. We spent a lot of time analyzing how much money needed to be in it to cover expenses in the future. The Parks Alliance can approve this with our approval. The tlc Transportation Fund goes into an account and will assist with Transportation Needs for the keyeds in the tlc program. I want to mention the operations includingen should being that our tennis camp will tip at Golden Gate Park. We ironed out those details so that our tennis camp will continue for five weeks in Golden Gate Park then we move to probably the southeast part of the city to offer the Wonderful Program there as well. We have clearly arranged for the space for the tlc and the use of courts. I want to talk about the Golden Gate Park tennis transition period we had since the closure. When the Tennis Center closed, we had people very, very anxious. They use this Tennis Center as part of the community, especially the seniors. We had multiple meetings with each of the three senior groups that used it. One of the big pieces of anxiety this was the only court where we had to make a reservation. Otherwise you would have no idea when to meet. We had groups that regularly met. In anticipation of this displacement, we implemented a free online reservation system for tennis and pickleball courts. In april it was launched at 11 tennis complexes for a total of 21 courts and six pickleball courts in places where there were at least four or three courts. With four courts we put two in the reservation system. If there were three, there were still two walk up courting. We received feedback from the community. We held a subsequent Community Meeting in september. In october we added 12 more tennis complexes and additional courts. Since seven months ago we are over 10,000 now reservations through the free system which allies the anxiety of people about the closure, reduction in number of courts and the comments are i have never been to that park and that city. That is wonderful. There are so many places we can play. The map shows you the green for the original courts we had. It was pretty empty in the eases part of the city. It is where we had three and four courts. We spread it out. Now we have three online reservations throughout the city. We may expand more. People are excreted about this. There had a few things we are working out. Should it be an our rath an hour rather than an hour and a half. I want to acknowledge jackie who is the lead on this project. She is home with a bad virus. The Community Support has been tremendous. The two people ruiobjected to the rfb having gone through the free Online System now support it. We reached out and they were no longer objecting to the selection of an operator. That is my presentation. Thank you. Thank you very much. I have quite a few blue cards. Dana, mary, lois. Good morning. I want to congratulate the commission on the incredible undertaking. I have been involved with public tennis all of my life. It is rare to see this effort between the Community Nonprofit organizations, fill an and users to accomplish this tremendous feat. It is not a normal result and i want to congratulate the community on that. It is a privilege to stand in front of you here. As a boy, i played tennis tournament at Golden Gate Park, visions of grand, the idea of being on television and having a lifetime involved in the sport. 35 years later, a lot less hair and not quite as fast. I can say that i have made a lifetime of being involved in the sport, incorporating it into the name of the organization. I couldnt be more proud seeing how things come full circle. I would like to ask my Senior Team Members to be involved in the operation and are currently with our company to stand up, please. I would appreciate it. applause . On behalf of our team here and those around the bay area, we couldnt be more proud for the consideration and operation of the Tennis Center. It would be our honor to be able to preserve the icon legacy while bringing in new programs, services and great memories to the present and future generations. Thank you. Thank you very much. I have mary, lois and martha. Good morning, commissioners. I am happy to be here. I am mary kyle. I am a lifetime so far as i am living now member of the Golden Gate Park tennis club. I joined it on and off. I grew up there, met my husband in finals of the Golden Gate Park tennis tournament. He was opposite me and found out about my personality, but we clicked. I want to commend the community that put together this amazing publicprivate partnership. It is not easy. There is tremendous work involved with this. The Golden Gate Park is a jewel. The tennis park has provided memories forever and they will continue to create beautiful memories for the new people that join out there. The option to be able to play in the evening is just incredible, and i think San Francisco is going to showcase this as a prize and a real success, and that is for everybody, every age, race, capability. It is tennis is a game of life, and tennis is like a court of life, as my mother used to say who played out there. You gain a great deal to your personal wellbeing, mental and physical. I thank everybody and Phil Ginsburg and thank you, commissioners, i am in support of it, by the way. Thank you. Lois and martha and lois salisbury. Which lois did up want . It is fine, go ahead. I am lois salisbury. Good morning. We have to stop seeing each other like this. I am the cochair of the Tennis Coalition of San Francisco, a major partner with rec and park around this extraordinary effort. I dont know how many of you have been out there this week. It is an exciting time to go by when you see the Tree Lighting on that tuesday, you should see the walls are going up. It makes me feel so much better. A couple months ago when we only had demolition, i was a nervous wreck. Now you can see what an extra facility it is going to be. When we started imagining that facility together four years ago, we also asked ourselves not just what the facility should look like in the design, what would make it an exemplary facility every day. We were inspired by large urban public facilities in denver, in the bronx, in sunnydale and we saw that big public tennis facilities had robust and diverse tennis activities. The range in depth of which the public layers would not experience in a neighborhood facility nor could it be affordable otherwise. For a big husband like big hub like center. When we visited those cities they were sustainable. Each one determined they were going to have the public facilities run by seasoned experienced tennis independent tennis operators. We took our cue from that wisdom and experience. With an operator in place in this iconic new facility, we do imagine that the Golden Gate ParkTennis Center will be the behead rock of tennis for the entire city, broadening the services and improving tennis everywhere ensuring everyone is welcome and love playing there. We cant thank enough mr. Ginsburg, dana ke t. C. H. Un. She cant tell if i am agreeing or disagreeing with her. We sorted that out. Jackie and jessica. It is a regular rus rigorous pr. I would like to ask everyone in support of this to please stand this morning. Thank you all for coming and thanks for the support. We cant wait to get back out there and play. Thank you very much. If martha and then lois and trish. I am the other cochair. I am here to express how transparent the process was to pick the operator. We reached out to a lot of people. You saw the list of organizations. We feel we have our eon the ground to tennis people in San Francisco and everyone seems happy. It is a wonderful process. I thank phil and dana and the staff. It has been a great job working together. Thank you. Thank you. Lois. Good morning, commissioners, i am lois and i am a tennis player and also on the Tennis Coalition and member of the Golden Gate Park tennis club. I came to San Francisco in 1974 to visit. I fell in love with Golden Gate Park. I moved here and live order the edge of the park for many years and used the park endlessly and appreciate all that has gone into it. I feel this project to renovate the golden gate Tennis Center is wonderful, and i look forward to having it runny efficient leann with a lot of equity for all.

I am trish robins, i am a board member on the Tennis Coalition of San Francisco. Four years ago things got real for us. With the encouragement and support of some of the San Francisco park supporters we werwere recruited to help move forward the renovation of the Tennis Center. A project that had long been dreamed of. Along with so many other motivated people i have been working toward that goal for 10 years. It is now under construction and ready to open hopefully in the fall of 2020. It is on track. We have come to you all along the way, to the commissioners, for guidance and approvevals. You supported the project. That is why we have got this far, that and 29 million we helped raise. I am here to ask you for the selection of lifetime activities as the tennis facility operator headed by the well respected dana gill. How do we choose them . With an open process that gave any entity that felt they could manage the large public Sports Facility a chance to apply. The committee included the general manager traveled to comparable tennis facilities around the country to open observe how this relationship could work.
