Monitoring. This illustrates how we are keeping track of money in and out over the known acquisitions in the future. Thats a quick summary of our Acquisition Policy. We presented this to prozac on the ninth and they felt we were on the right track. Several members who were there when the most recent policy was created in 2011 and they encoveraged the department to use encouraged the department to use both policies. President buell thank you very much. Secretary i have Public Comment on this. Jane wild, please. Public thank you commissioners. Jane wild, prozac district six. I will add that this jordans presentation was made last week and we all congratulated her on the most succinct and understandable presentation of the policy we had ever had. I just want to admire her work on that. I live on mission between seventh and eighth in the heart of midmarket in the tenderloin, which on the maps i dont know if we can bring the map back. But it is sort of the heart, the densest equity zone in the city. We are blessed with amazing parks and our staff does an amazing job, i think, of maintaining them. But they are in a ring around the city. And the acquisitions are an inner ring and we are still left with this huge hole in the most needy part of the city. The acquisition chart shows that about 55 of the acquisition fundses were used on equity zones since the year 2007. But that means 45 were not used in equity zones, creating a further deficit in the places that need it most. The grand jury report states a property should not be given priority based on funding, but need. We in midmarket have been begging for the acquisition of a small parcel that would serve our neighborhood and the desperately needing green space area. Rec and park prepared a report. Department of real estate negotiated the purchase but it was allowed to lapse in favor of other acquisitions. So, we are here to implore you to direct staff to reopen negotiations for these parcels still ability, 1133, 1139 mission street. Rec and park already has the work done. Weve just been told theres no money. We need to find the money. This is the neediest area in the city. Yes, it will be expensive. Its the most expensive per square foot, but it is central city. It is expensive there. These parcels are the only opportunity we have for any green at all in the center of this area. Paved plazas are not what we need. We dont need another u. N. Plaza. We need green. I just implore you to work with park and rec. They have done the work. We need to find the money and we need to respect our equity plan and adhere to the process that we have. So, i thank you and thank you, jordan, again for that great report. President buell thank you. Secretary is there anything else who would like to make Public Comment under the Acquisition Policy review . Being none, Public Comment is closed. President buell commissioner low. Vice president low jordan, we spent a lot of time on defining equity zones and i just want to make sure the terminology that were using, the Acquisition Policy relating to high need neighborhoods is consistent with our findings on equity zones and investing our funds into equity zones. Theres a lot of overlap in the factors that created the high need map and equity zone. They are slightly different. The equity zone include metrics not included in the high needs area. But density and income are crew drivers of both. Theyre not exactly the same. Vice president low and should our Acquisition Policy be har no newsed with harmonyized . I think the Health Indicators are important in understanding where we are going to prioritize acquisition opportunities. Thats something we should go back and work on. I would be curious to see if theres any difference in how we are identifying and prioritizing acquisition areas based on the two different formulas. There might not be. But i think commissioner, i agree with you. I think we should think about harmonizing them. Vice president low and just more granular question about coordinating our Acquisition Policy with interdepartmental cooperation. Particularly we saw the opportunity with the puc site, the department of real estate leads us in the acquisition of properties that come available, including appraisal prices, doing the due diligence, investigations. How does our should our Acquisition Policy address that interdepartmental collaboration . I think that is a possibility. I think it sort of plays out from my observation of the last three years slightly differently each time one of these opportunities arises. It is hard to anticipate exactly how to guide that through a policy thats trying to be global and kind of high level. But i think that is another area that we should probably explore in expanding the Acquisition Policy. Vice president low particularly with the department of real estate. I think a lot of this is opportunistic. Some sites come to us as the opportunity arises and sometimes we will have to deviate from the Acquisition Policy. But i think its worth addressing some sort of collaboration between the different departments within the city family as well as developing a process on acquisition thats led by the department of real estate so that we have the adequate information on valuation, environmental contamination, things of that nature. I think the partnership with real estate actually works pretty well. I think real estate probably should have john be here for this conversation. But i think once we identify acquisition opportunities come through a variety of different channels. We have our own criteria through which we are trying to prioritize it. The question is, how consistent are they with the criteria weve identified. Once an opportunity has been presented or weve retained or asked real estate to try to go out and identify opportunities within a certain area, thats how real estate gets involved and thats how we work with them on price and valuation and we actually work pretty in lock step with them and they make recommendations to us. That was one of the challenges with the other parcels that were that jane referred to. It is a funding issue and were not getting into a debate. Because weve had this conversation. But the cost per square foot given what we thought the use and utility of those parcels were steered us towards prioritizing the other sites. And we did that in partnership with real estate. Vice president low i guess just the related question there is encouraging more collaboration with other departments that might have opportunities for parks and open space. Schlage lock was a great opportunity. The transbay districts plan provides for parks but doesnt say whose parks they are. This is a bigger policy discussion about working with interdepartmentally within the city family on if there is an opportunity, whats our role and how could we play more of an active role in the development and management of the open space opportunity. Thank you for raising that. I think we will have an opportunity to hear from a couple of months from the office of infrastructure on the shipyard open space. That is a related important issue. Overall, the communication and partnership with our sister agencies is pretty good. There are some very important emerging questions about this organizations role in some of the open space thats being developed, particularly through redevelopment areas that i think warrants our collective attention and engagement. But overall, the other thing im thinking about is our work with the office of Economic Development on some of the caltrans parcels underneath the freeways. And jordan and stacy in our Planning Division are involved in all those conversations and i think much more so than five, six, seven years ago. Weve very much been at the table. We were at the table and it would be interesting to talk about because i think there are some good open space opportunities that are surfacing as a result of that as well. All good points. President buell thank you. Commissioner anderson. Commissioner anderson i just wanted to comment i was recently at the Shore View Park property and its an amazing piece of property, looking sort of southeast over the bay. And theres a planning meeting this coming saturday, on the 20th, from 1 002 30 if people want to get involved in k concepti conceptionializing that space. Commissioner bonilla. Go ahead. Commissioner bonilla what i just wanted to say is ive been on the commission a long time. And i just wanted to reaffirm our general managers comments in terms of the partnerships that weve had with the different city departments and with the department of real estate. That historically at least during all my involvement we have had partnerships with other departments in terms of Property Acquisition and we have had we have worked in lock step with the Real Estate Department of real estate. And i think weve had an opportunity to really be involved in getting to the nittygritty of these properties and how advantageous they would be for the community. So, i think we have some good practices in place. So, i just wanted to reaffirm and i guess kind of allay commissioner lows concerns. President buell let me first say this was a recommendation of the 2017 civil grand jury to report this out at this particular time. Im not so sure it wasnt insightful in looking at the complexities of taking advantage of other departments and how we lerj our influence and opportunities leverage our influence and opportunities to gain open space. With that, it is on the agenda as a possible action to do something. Commissioner low, did you have any thoughts . Vice president low no. I thought this was a Good Opportunity for us to revisit the Acquisition Policy and give us an opportunity to maybe harmonize that with our Strategic Plan as well as to, i guess, further our collaboration with other departments. President buell okay. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Secretary so, just to confirm, were not making a moment . President buell no. Doesnt require one. Secretary just confirming. It a item 10 is the Capital Expenditure plan. Good morning commissioners. I have a short presentation for you today. This is discussion and possible action to recommend that the board of supervisors approve the recreation and Park Department expenditure plan for fiscal year 19 and fiscal year 20 as required by charter section 16. 107. Just a bit of background. The Capital Expenditure plan is a new charter requirement that was added with passage of prop b. The charter language provides guidance on what the plan should address, including the plan of renovation of our Capital Assets, acquisition plan, Equity Analysis, using the equity metrics that was created with passage of prop b. The additional reporting the department provides include the Monthly Financial report that you get, the quarterly go bond reports that goes to the oversight committee, the citys tenyear capital plan that goes to the board of supervisors that is updated annually, and the budget request submitted annually as part of the budget process. Last year we provided the first annual capital plan to the commission, the june 2017 civil grand jury report also recommended greater linkages between our efforts and our Strategic Plan. The proposed Capital Expenditure plan covers two fiscal years consistent with the plan that was presented to the commission in december and the twoyear budge cycle. The plan is budget cycle. The plan is comprised of three tables in your package today. The first table is the proposed capital plan for fiscal years 19 and 20. The Strategic Plan will layer the capital plan efforts. The second table is the planned acquisition plan during fiscal year 18 through 22. And the third table is our Capital Projects from fiscal year 2018 through fiscal year 2020. All current and planned Capital Projects in the next three to four years. This table presents the initiatives from the current Strategic Plan specific to the Capital Division and our Capital Projects. Highlights includes the players initiative, the indian basin and the bond projects. Project life cycles are part of that strategic effort. A comprehensive assessment of our park assets to inform the 2019 parks bond as well as a proactive approach to park maintenance. The second table of the capital plan includes all known acquisitions which was part of jordans presentation moments ago, within the time frame of the fiveyear plan and indicates whether the future park is located in an equity zone. The final table of the capital plan lists all of the current and future projects that we have in our pipeline that is expected to be done between now and three years from now. This table lists by name the neighborhood and the district. This table also cross references to three of our Strategic Plan initiatives, the status of all the current projects and the projected timeline. This next slide sort of highlights some of our Capital Projects that are ongoing now. One which is very important to us is the carbon, india basin is another one. Garfield pool is another highlighted project here. Finally, this slide sort of provides an overview of the Equity Analysis as provided by the charter language. Im proud of the work we are doing in this effort. Thanks to phils leadership on this and taylor. The top table sort of highlights the capital plan initiatives that specifically address equity. All of this equity initiatives are currently ongoing and include planning for building new parks in high needs and growing areas. Collaborating on the civic center initiative. India basin is another one. In addition to the equity metrics, our equity metrics we use to evaluate the departments Capital Expenditure plan as a whole. This sort of illustrates our commitment to the equity zones. I want to emphasize in this slide, as you see, 53 of the departments total Capital Assets are in equity zones. 88,000 for one thousand people in equity zones compared to about 31,000 for the rest of the city. With that, i end my presentation. I will be happy to answer any questions you have. President buell thank you. Secretary is there any Public Comment on this item . Okay. Being none, Public Comment is closed. President buell i dont see any questions. Chair would entertain a motion. So moved. President buell moved and seconded. All those in favor. [all ayed] president buell thank you. Secretary next item. California Maritime Infrastructure authority membership. Good morning commissioners. Im the harbor master and what im here to present today is the membership in the california Maritime Infrastructure authority. What this does is it gives us opportunities for further investigation, support for any potential Financial Information we need. It is a group that supports many of the ports and harbors in california. There is no fee to join. Its basically just that they require a board to approve. And so, thats why i bring it here to you today. Take any questions. Secretary is there any Public Comment on this item . Okay, being none, Public Comment is closed. Commissioners. Just a quick question. Were not already a member . No, were not. [laughter] okay. That was pretty cut and dry. President buell entertain a motion . Moved and seconded. All those in favor. [all ayed] that was really impressive, scott. [laughter] secretary next item is item 12, recreation and Park Department budget fiscal year 201819 and 20192020. Good morning. My name is derek chu. This is my first time presenting before you. So, im very excited to get with this presentation. Im here today to present and discussion the recreation and Park Departments budget for fiscal years 201819 and 201920. The citys budget process has begun and were here to talk about the current budget outlook as well as where were progressing in our development of the budgets for 1819 and 1920. Currently, the citys budget outlook is mixed. Revenues continue to be strong, but the citys expenditure budget is growing and outpacing the revenue budget, resulting in a deficit of 88. 2 million and a budget year plus one deficit of 174 million. This is resulting in the Mayors Office calling for Budget Reductions across general Fund Departments as well as asking all departments to absorb all Cost Increases and not allowing for any additional growth in department budgets. Fortunately, due to proposition b, the department is not required to meet the Budget Reduction targets for the next two fiscal years. The budget the department will continue to budget 15 million in general funds to support capital and deferred maintenance projects and the department will use new revenue and year over year revenue increases to cover costs and enhance the budget. So, as i noted,
