Item number three, report by Treasure Island director. Thank you. Chair. And members of the board, this last sunday, some good news to report. Peter somerville of titus staff and his wife, allison, welcomed their first child, Henry Lawrence dean somerville, and so we are. Titus family continues to grow, i also wanted to acknowledge that yesterday at the board of supervisors, supervisor dorsey, recognized the work of one Treasure Island, over the last 30 years. And with that, id like to ask, nella to come up and give an update on their activities. Good afternoon. Directors nella gonsalves coexecutive director for one Treasure Island. Nice to see you all again. Quick updates on some of our work. We are very happy to report that our 17th cohort of the Construction Training Program graduated on march 1st, and 80 of those individuals are already at work or in the process of securing employment. And were gearing up for our next cohort, which will be in may. Our tax season is in full swing. Your report says that we had 108 taxes completed, but were over 200 now. So were excited. To be able to continue to provide Tax Prep Services for island residents and low income san franciscans, we held our island Wide Community meeting on february 28th, 28th, 15 individuals attended and, it was a very robust meeting. So were excited about that, we are continuing to plan for community events. Our next big event will be the spring fling, which will be april 20th, and then were rolling out a six week health and wellness workshop series. And were really excited that, Treasure Island now has a healing circle that is on the island. And theyve had 8 to 10 residents attend every week. So thats awesome, were excited about that new resource. We wrapped up our grant from the department of elections for Voter Registration and poll workers, and it was successful. So were excited about that. We hope we help to increase the number of residents on Treasure Island that are registered to vote. And that will actually vote, particularly for the november election, we continue to work on emergency prep. We received a grant from the department of Emergency Management in partnership with tda, and were very excited to be able to have a consultant who will help us to do some Emergency Preparedness planning for residents on the island. And we are also rolling out a ticket forgiveness program. There are over 100 cars on Treasure Island that are not registered. We have a feeling a lot of that has to do from the pandemic, right where they were forgiving people from registering cars. But as were progressing through the redeveloping event, we want to help people resolve some of these fines and tickets that they have. So theyll either be able to register their cars or sell them. So were excited to roll out that program. This month. And again, i just want to send a personal thank you to the titus staff, bob and anne marie, who attended the board of supervisors recognition yesterday. It felt really good, you know, were sort of on an island doing our work, so it felt good to have the city recognize us. And with that, thats the end of my report. Thank you. On the 24th and 25th, as i had mentioned last month, we welcomed the return of treasure fest to the island, the event was extremely well attended. I think a combination of, some of the best weather of the year to date and extensive outreach, by the festival organizers, we saw the ferry, saw over 1000 riders each day of the weekend, and they were able to add additional seven runs on saturday and six additional runs on sunday to, absorb the demand, the there was quite a bit of traffic, resulting in queues. On many of the streets on the island and also, contributing to congestion on the bay bridge, our staff is working with, the vendor and mta on improved traffic and crowd Management Plans for next month, staff is also working with public works and mta on scheduling for the opening of the new road roadways on Treasure Island that were, have been accepted through the board of supervisors and for initiating parking enforcement. Also the new parking lot at ninth and seven seas, has begun taking applications, and we expect that to open next week. On the housing front, we hosted a Second Opportunity for, the Housing Authority representatives to meet on island with residents of the villages who hold section eight vouchers, when those households are offered a replacement unit, theyll need to recertify the status of their voucher. And this is these meetings are intended to make those connections between residents and staff. We will be scheduling a third, session on a saturday in the near future, catholic charities, has issued their initial notices to move to their households on the island and notices to villages, units, villages residents receiving transition units will go out before the end of this month. Mercy has been continuing to host tours of starview court, for interested residents, and is working with mcrd, to schedule the Dollar Lottery tomorrow night. Well be having an event at the shipyard for, island residents to learn more about the isle house. Hawkins and 490 avenue of the palms development, 490 avenue of the palms is, the project that we used to refer to by portico, but theyre re renaming. Rebranding that property, the intention of, tomorrows event is to generate interest, in the in the buildings in advance of the Dollar Lottery for inclusionary units in those buildings. And also to provide information on the market rate units. Although list pricing for the units is not yet available, its just foreshadowing the pre Marketing Efforts that well be doing for each of those sites, also included in the directors report, in the board package, is a memo on, signs that are being fabricated, for the new parks to post hours of operations and rules. So to, to help facilitate , management and enforcement of those at those parks. And we continue to work with the City Attorneys Office on park code amendments that will have to take to the board of supervisors. And then on our security contract that we put out in rfp for, that will be heard at Civil Service commission on april 1st, and pending approval, we anticipate bringing that contract to the board for award at our meeting next month. And that concludes my report. Thank you so much, and, nella, to one Treasure Island, congratulations on your recognition by the board of supervisors for all the work that youve done on Treasure Island. We really do. Its a recognition well worth it. Thank you. And then on the treasure fest, it was the first big public event that weve had with the return of the treasure fest. And bob, i had heard reports that there was actually an hour long, wait to get from the, the toll plaza on the east bay side, the toll plaza to Treasure Island and all of that traffic were people who were trying to get on to Treasure Island, do we have any idea of how many people actually attended, i dont have a firm number. Our estimate is in excess of 5000 each day. Well, its a preview of what we have to do in terms of Traffic Management and even toll management. If youve got 5000 people trying to get on and off the island, that is whats going to happen. Its going to be incredible. Congestion on. So, yeah, we need to work on Traffic Management for big events like that. But also eventually, as the island grows and the number of households grow on the island, this is a very real issue that we will have to confront. Yeah im going to open it up to any questions by the board or, yes. First, thank you. I would just like to thank, nella and sherry personally for the incredible work that theyve done. And its really amazing when you consider the small staff and the things that are done daily and the improvement in peoples lives and on the island. So i wanted to personally thank you, too. The recognition is long. Adieu. So thank you. Thank you so much. And, just a quick question. You know, muni, i if i can add this as you you mentioned it. So ive been late on a couple of times and the it tells me sometimes i have a little map and it, it says that. Well one bus is down and so theres only one bus available for the, people on the island or getting to the island. And that seems kind of ridiculous that muni only has one bus that is available for the island. If, you know, they could switch out perhaps another bus or something. And, it to me it seems odd. And so that thats just one thing i wanted to mention, and yes, i also did go to the, the fest, and it was amazing. It the day was beautiful and the crowds were it was. Wow. So thank you. Thank you for all your work to bob, by the way. Thank you, miss helen. Yeah. Just, bob, you kind of you in your report, you kind of talked briefly about whats going on with housing and just some curious if well have a more in depth report at some point. I dont see it on the agenda here. And we didnt have it last month either. So im just curious, like if notices are going out, just, interested in where we are with with the latest and im not sure if thats at the subcommittee now or if this is happening here, but yeah, just the last couple of months we havent had an update and it seems like things are moving. So im just curious about that. Yeah, i included in my report our agenda this week is, pretty full with the amendments and the parks items, but well definitely be bringing another housing update, likely to both the committee and the board. Thank you, mr. Beth. Thank you for your report. And it i noticed that you said during treasure fest they increased the amount of ferry crossings, what, 6 or 7 different times. So, i mean, obviously thats something that really we need to look into in the future because that thats going to be the way to get people on and off the island. And, you know, i dont know if theres a thought of doing it to the east bay as well. But, you know, you can alleviate quite a bit of traffic that way. I think thats something we need to look into. Yeah, i was actually surprised they were able to do, the additional runs because i know during the week, the arrivals and departures from the Ferry Building in downtown San Francisco are very carefully choreographed, because of the commuting frequency of the other runs, but with the lighter, the, headways of the weekend, they were able to incorporate additional runs, but yeah, as as the population grows and as we plan around some of these big events, were going to be looking to plan for that, next month and thereafter. And, t cd, which currently subsidizes the ferry operations, theyre analyzing what the actual cost impacts of that were versus the revenue impacts, obviously the crews were already, you know, theyre there, so it really the additional costs are primarily fuel costs, versus the, the ridership numbers. So were doing some analysis there to see what the net cost or revenue, for that weekend was. And again, theres a tie in to the tolling because that provides the revenues for these alternative services, like the ferry. Yeah. So, okay, so hearing no other questions, any comments from the public . Good afternoon, commissioners. President. Sen. Vice president. Richardson great to see you all. Im joshua arce, a special assistant with the Northern CaliforniaDistrict Council of laborers, and im here with some colleagues from rank and file members, Beth Mcdowell with laborers local two, 61 locally, and anthony travis, also rank and file member leader with local 261. We stopped by because we were doing some other work on some other matters, and we came by to thank director beck and the staff for the concept of partnership. And i want to be real, deliberate in not speaking on an item thats going to be later on in the agenda about a specific result of that partnership. But the partnership generally, that director beck is forging with the rec and Park Department, which in San Francisco, our rec and Park Department is the best rec and Park Department in the country and has the best rank and file gardeners, horticulturalist, landscaping and staff anywhere in the world. And the idea that youre Building Community at Treasure Island, building homes, these parks and open spaces. And now theres conversation of partnership for those spaces to be maintained in partnership with rec and park, means that those parks are for decades to come to be the most beautiful parks in the city, with Workforce Development, pipelines and pathways. And we just want to say thank you, kudos and if i could turn it over to beth or anthony. Yeah, thank you, this is an agenda item which is later in our agenda. Is that what you wanted to know . Did not. Because we got to go back to work. We just wanted to speak generally to partnerships and whatever ideas or roadmaps or plans are yielded from some partnerships. We wanted to speak to the spirit of partnership thats exemplified by your director and staff. So im i just want to say its a wonderful thing to be partnering with park and rec and you all looking over the parks and Treasure Island and what we know. We know that people love to have parks. We need. We all got kids. We need to be able to take our kids to parks. I have eight kids, raise eight kids in San Francisco, and thats a lot of work. And i look for parks all over the place, and i used to love taking my kids to the parks. So i just want to say thank you for that. And its appreciative. Okay good morning. My name is Beth Mcdowell. Im a chief steward at local 261. I work as a gardener at the recreation and Parks Department. Id also like to add, thanks and congratulations to everyone involved in the partnership so far to one Treasure Island and the general manager, and all the progress so far, were always excited. This project is so special to local 261. Our construction laborers have worked, i believe, throughout the project and throughout the building of these really beautiful parks and open spaces and if theres any possibility in the future of other partnerships, we would be so excited to do that. Theres a comparable project in mission bay in july of last year, they joined the city and were have have now been stewarded for i guess coming almost a year by our recreation and parks gardeners local 261 members. And thats been a very successful project. And whether thats the road you go down or anything else, we would be really honored to continue to participate with Treasure Island on this. Thank you very much for your time. Thank you. We appreciate your comments. And yes, parks are really very important. Thank you. Yes, please, joshua, before you leave, i wanted actually to recognize you, joshua was the former Workforce Development in San Francisco. But one accentuate on your legacy a
