That took many many hours into smaller sessions so the evaluators can get to every area and that was useful to the staff. Of all of those areas, they drop. They were higher in prior years since we have been doing the evaluation. You can see that in the next slide. This slide, actually this is a great moment. We are at a crossroads. We are moving from a system we developed in 2006 and started using and we are moving into a new era. Since our start of our program, all of our areas have improved in scores. You see in the fiscal in 2006, only two areas received the 85 percent threshold, those in the far right of the screen. This year, all areas above the 85 percent threshold and for the second year in a row. And one thing that a park Evaluation Program has allowed us to do is we have characterized and categorized the kind of outcome that people need in our parks. We have been able to see that we have been able to increase attention to each and everyone of those areas. In fiscal year in 200
Appropriate. I wanted to take this moment to offer my personal thanks to the Controllers Office for the continued partnership and involvement in the San Francisco parks evaluation program. While the controller is always supportive and participated in this program their contribution has been particularly important this past year and particularly of help to me. I wanted to say thank you. As the commissioner knows for the past 2 years, weve been working really hard to revise the standards, to increase the values to the department to our staff and to in accrues the benefit to the San Francisco systems and park users who we serve. This coming year is going to be a busy year. We are finally reaching implementation. We have a new park Evaluation Data base in the works, we have new reports we are building, we have reformatted forms for use in the parks and we have improved our training for all evaluators. We do expect there will be a shift in the price scores that well see next year given the
Really hard to revise the standards, to increase the values to the department to our staff and to in accrues the benefit to the San Francisco systems and park users who we serve.

We have a new park Evaluation Data base in the works, we have new reports we are building, we have reformatted forms for use in the parks and we have improved our training for all evaluators. We do expect there will be a shift in the price scores that well see next year given the great extent. Well face those bridges next year. Speaking of the future, the controller always has recommendations to take on for us to do. The first is to really set up and rebuild a model on how park Evaluation Data is being used by the department. I want to say within the works we have two new seminars we are bringing to our own staff. One is to build a model for action planning. So when the parks supervisor or manager gets a park score, it can set
