Supervisor mar yes. Good morning, chris corgis from the office of Workforce Development and im part of the team that oversees the District Program on behalf of the city and county of San Francisco. Today were hearing the fiscal year 20182019 report for the top of Broadway Community benefit district and a resolution to disestablish the district under the board of supervisors authority per article 15 of the business and tax regulations code. A legislative Overview CommunityBusiness District are governed by two sets of laws the state law is known as the 1994 act and its the streets and highways code 36600 and our local article law. And it covers the annual report for the Previous Fiscal Year 20182019. Oewd ensures that all c. B. D. S are meeting Management Plans and an annual review of the report and c. P. A. Statement and we provide the board of supervisors with a summary memo. The top of broad way c. B. D. Is a propertybased district with a been of budget of 106,000 and they submitted an assessment roll of 11,000. It was established in 2013 and set to expire june 30, 2021. The staff of the district is executive director, and the district director dominic, who is here to present on the c. B. D. And their Service Areas are district identity, street operations, beautification and order, administration and organization and corporate operations. Oewd reviews four bench marks for each c. B. D. And the first whether the varyians for each Service Category was within 10 Percentage Points from the Management Plan. And bench ds mark ds and benchmark three, whether the varyians between each Service Category was within 10er is Percentage Points from the actual. And bench mark four, whether the c. B. D. Has any amount of funds from the current fiscal year and designating projects to be spent in the upcoming year. For bench mark one, the c. B. D. Did meet this requirement and has historically met so as well. For bench mark two, the c. B. D. Raised approximately 25 of its budget from non assessment sources so it did meet this requirement. For bench mark three, the c. B. D. Did not meet this requirement and they spent below the varyians in district identity and they overspent on sidewalk operations as well as administration. Upon further review this was done to increase the amount of street cleanliness operations for that fiscal year. And for fiscal year 20182019 they did indicate their Carry Forward but as they are establishing first date law they have zero dollars in their account so there was no funding to Carry Forward. And in completing the review, oewd set forth the following findings, it met three of the four bench marks. There was a significant decrease in the amount of contributions given to the c. B. D. And the number would have been lower if not for a grant that the c. B. D. Received and utilized in year 20182019. The Owners Association of the c. B. D. Requested that the city and county of San Francisco disestablish the c. B. D. Early due to the loss of outside financial subsidies with supplement special assessments and the Owners Association believes that oewd concurs that revenue alone is not sufficient to continue operations. The resolution associated with this item is setting a committee of the whole date for the board of supervisors to disestablish the c. B. D. In accordance with article 15 on november 17, 2020. In conclusion, the c. B. D. Did operate in accordance with its Management Plan since the establishment in 2013. And the decrease in outside revenues led to the c. B. D. Not being able to maintain services with special assessment dollars alone going forward. The Owners Association has requested that the city disestablish the district, the letter is part of the file. Oewd has confirmed that the c. B. D. Has met all requirements to disestablish early and there are no money in their accounts and theyre now up to date on annual reports. And there is support to disestablish the c. B. D. Among the Owners Association and ratepayers. And new or renews c. B. D. S have enough special assessment revenue to not provide Supplemental Services. While forming, stakeholders should be mindful of how Funding Sources relate to true operation costs and work with oewd to ensure theyre in line so that the longterm health of a proposed or renewed district and Supplemental Services are stable. If there are no questions for oewd, id like to turn the present over to mr. Lamandrie. Sounds good. Thanks. So my name is dominic, and im the deputy director. Next slide, please. So like many of the c. B. D. S in San Francisco, the top of broadway was formed with a very Clear Mission statement. And that Mission Statement is before you now to make the area around broadway safe and an enjoyable place to live and work and visit. And to have economic vitality. Improving the livability and promoting identity and area history. And this is the crux of why the c. B. D. Was creteed and to facilitate this mission it carries out projects through three advisory committees and having staff implement at the Mission Street level. Next slide, please. So this is the General Information about the top of broadway. We were formed in 2013, and we began shortly there shortly thereafter in 2019. And i think that the last count was around 130 businesses and its the smallest c. B. D. In the city and at our last fiscal year we had 160,000 operating budget and we were able to stretch across seven days a week to have consistency. Chris, next slide, please. This is the breakdown of our budget for our last fiscal year. Can you see that we took in 113,000 on assessment income and then we made up for the rest through non assessment income grants and a very, very small Carry Forward. And how that money was distributed, the jority into keeping the street clean and with services and the city abatement and then a couple streetscapes that we will go through in the presentation. Next slide, please. And the projects are through federal operations and this is indiscernible . Next slide, please. These are some of our highlights from our last fiscal year, and the operations committee. We are able to provide near daily coverage throughout the year in terms of Porter Services and pressure washing. Were able to have 9,000 pounds of brush on broadway. And compared, its not a lot but we are only two square blocks so thats positive. indiscernible you can see the rest that we have moved into indiscernible and animal waste and pressure wash the district at least once a month. Next slide, please. Some of the crowning achievements of our district Identity Committee which really we hoped or we envisioned that would encapsulate the identity that we wanted to portray about broadway, and some included 10 commemorative plaques around broadway, commemorating the history and the institutions on broadway and the surrounding area. We had worked with the foundation to install butt cans on our street poles, approximately 10 throughout the district to prevent the litter in our storm drains. Thats a very ecofriendly project that we did and costeffective too. And the last one is a lighting project that we did with local artist Joshua Hubert called shimmer and it was over the steps and it is still chugging along. I just got confirmation on monday that its been operating for three months without any issues, despite the weather and what ds not and now that its synchronized to a local radio station. So more is incoming and well post it to our website that im maintaining right now. Next slide, please. And these are some of the Partner Organizations that we work with, with the top of broadway c. B. D. , and chris has been instrumental in the c. B. D. Surviving as long as it did. And on a daily basis as any c. B. D. S would tell you, those institutions really are jurisdictional with the sidewalk appeal and livability and we work with them regularly and the Central Station and the broadway entertainment Cultural Association that was supplements our income with helping us to maintain the quality of sidewalk cleaning on broadway. And n. B. N. And those are some of the resident yal organizations and commercial organizations surrounding us and supervisor peskins office that spear headed efforts to grant us the grant in 2016 that allowed us to perform the investigations and expand the district. And then that is leading into this slide. So joining the top of broadway unfortunately, after we received that grant with the help of the Supervisors Office in 2016, we performed over the next two years a rigorous investigation and we expanded the boundaries down to or the investigation down to broadway and down columbus to about pacific i believe. And we got as you can see on the map to your right, we got some mediocre responses really. Nothing that would impact momentum or a critical massive interest. So over the course of two years, you know, we werent really able to build that momentum that we needed to crete or to expand the district beyond its boundary that you see in blue. And in spring 2019 we made lastditch efforts, but as you
