Thank you welcome tracey executive director for the oewd that is before us today welcome. Gum good morning, supervisors. Ill take through slides the civic Center Center for the manual budget is 13 million a majority on the services. And a reminder of our boundaries expanded to the east side of golf and a light blue section in the plazas the Federal Building didnt pay into our integrity. Wanted to take the opportunity to commend and thank the amazing individuals were out doing the challenging work and keeping our district streets clean and safe so not all the folks are city with the organization but most are our services are many. So we have the clean item, ambassador program, we were providing overnight security for the playground and the garage reader the civic center and partner with both the urban community and the downtown streets team in the district. These are three of many, many things we collect and Getting Better and better at that is a detail of everything we have and your software is pretty amazing. Our team in 2022 continued to evaluate with challenges throughout the district and parklet created more work for the team and high number of break ins were first on the scene if if happened overnight or in the morning help to clean up. To too hot spots that are today by tenderloin schools and 12th street. Those are areas we have to Pay Attention to. Bus shelters are all downtown we have a problem to cross the street in front of the state building to try to make that assessable for transit riders. And un plaza numerous challenges in 2022 most of relishes shown here. The drug dealing open air drug use in the el segundo and fortunate had had a great pitcher with all the organizations throughout the district primarily and the plazas. This is an work of our Data Collection system at any given moment can tell where our folks are and theyre uploading pictures in the system. And i think in 2022 the most transformative thing be in the un so had a number of events kept the place fun and throughout the year those continue. We did our lunchtime concerts that of in the zone and, of course, during the good weather months september and october held an amazing Tree Lighting entertainment seven hundred toys and then have the music providing free he concerts along venice before and after performances on venice and continue to do as possibly much as possibly better to be safe than sorry we could to make sure theyre recognized and promoted on the website and in the social media channels. And we continue to do a lot of work making sure point playgrounds are safe and free of vandalism put out seats when it was good to do so and we continued to pursue or updates to share our shelter guides now give to thirty organizations have copies that ill dropoff at the offices and it is highly sought offer thats it for civic Center Center and transitioning to the open market 2022. This is a reminder a map of the midmarket from the west side of 5 down to van ness and along market and mission and the street corridor from market. Um, in 2022 we had a budget of 1. 5 million you can the breakdown on the slide versus Public Safety and Economic Development. Our coarse services are maintenance and Public Safety and Economic Development and challenges to our work for the open air drug dealing and use the proliferation of evan kaments and this is a particular bad encampment these are things that our staff, you know, does their best to mitigate but probably mingle cleaning as possibly often as possibly they can and, of course, we call ecology when needed and have the bulky items this a tremendous amount of litter and debris as a result of encampments nearby. Our Public Safety services are extremely confident we do a lot of directions and, of course, work with the merchants residents and visitors. Homelessness camps are ongoing. We call entering services when needed a lot of time your ambassadors especially in the photo know who the individuals are and can get them to home serves as needed like i said a large number of vacant commercial spaces and have a few vacant lots problematic so we do our best to prevent fires being set and break ins an educational campaign. One possible pair one of the ambassadors with an attendee officer for the responder approach. And for Economic Development in 2022, we saw the opening of the whole foods a small pharmacy and the line hotel on market and the chicken on market. Our street cluster of shops conditioned to grow with 7 businesses on the left and at that time 4 tenants we appreciate they do an excellent job with maintaining the landscape in front of their businesses that is one space we were able to improve for a short time and had a grant part two of the Robin Williams across the street and unfortunate the mural was destroyed about 6 months in but this is just a map showing the commercial vacancies we had in the district in 2022. And we tracked that. And just another illustration on the storefront and this is a marketing we have objective been updated since 2022 but we use this to help to attract any businesses in the district. And this is a map that illustrates the number of affordable housing, no. Special Service Locations in our district the fingerprint this too has been updated since 2022 but it is available if you need it. And just want to end thanking our mid market crew do incredibly challenging work and those folks are still with us today. Thank you. Thank you very much for the presentation and the work and especially appreciate highlighting the folks doing the work in the field everyday and many at least on the civic center side of office are out there and do the work every single day and doing the i had a couple of quick questions so looks good in terms of compliance with the benchmarks those were to the manual reports late and want to have a comment on what happened there and also on track to be timing. Yes. Were on track. For civic center we he a lot of extra work the department of Emergency Management around the u united plaza but to support City Services we Service Part Time to get to the designers and if the reports are comprehensive together involve the Operations Team and Communication Team i prefer so civic center was the definitely a challenge and mid market the lack of submission of the camera policies to oewd i think was a design oversight 12 page word document and so well add, add that Going Forward but a link to that policy on the website we didnt think anyone couldnt find it well make sure we forward that. Thank you member stefani. Through the chair. You mentioned i think your report in terms of the civic center three 4 though needles is that annually; right . And picked up by whom. Those are just the ones picked up by our staff additional ones collected by the urban streets team and multiple departments Like Public Health department. Do you the location of where youre picking up the needles. When i do. And are they a proactive approach around people picking up. I give you the breakdown of how many came through 311. Okay. Thank you. Thank you and this time period that is before us coincides with actual closures of tenderloin. That was or expands like; right . Yeah. multiple voices. half a year. Right. On a fiscal calendar. Yes. The center closed. It was earlier. Right. Um, i had additional question around the fulton gift gallery the hillside cdb and in conversations around the closure of um, that the gift gallery and then i think the the cdb if have communicated not having capacity to manage the market after the department of raeft were impacted about that and we just learned yesterday from rec and park that the cdb will be hosted a vintage market very soon that is news to our office weve been pretty regular in existence to resume the 59 out there. And if that decision was made will be a vintage market . Yeah. I think we have found a republican take advantage market wanted to come we dont operator operates the market. Of being able to operate on fulton so um, it is group out of oakland and they have the oakland convenient tangle market and no, we dont have a final agreement but hoping theyll start in august when the weather is nice we did who did we tell . I think we told did Farmers Market approached by the gallery. To tell the gift gallery if theyre not able to join the Farmers Market but join with the Small Business commission and but also, if there were any of us could would sit with the vintage market we could connect them not until late summer. Thank you thank you for the clarity and exciting to hear about the potential vintage market but conversations in the rec and park and emphasis those are like a half a dozen years were talking about been following all the rules as part of the community and my understanding that there is discussions of potentially implementing that as part of Farmers Market for a period of time and looking at that new market coming to merced but half of the dozen didnt seem to fit with the definition of what, you know, look i want to urge in possible terms weather exemption we need to do to graerth. Fund it unfair what happened to the vendors but looking forward to collaborating with you further and i just it is leaving a bad taste something could transition positive for someone the urban certify for that halfdozen in particular singles not accommodated. Youre welcome to comment on i i wanted to comment. Great. Thank you very much. And if no further questions open up for public members of the public wishing to speak should line up by the windows, and all speakers have two minutes to speak. Can the first speaker come forward . Comment. Thank you Public Comment is closed. gavel thank you and everyone and thank you, id like to move it sends those to the full board with positive recommendation. To forward to the full board. Supervisor stafani, aye. Supervisor chan, aye. Chair preston i have three i sees. Motion passes. And madam clerk, call item mayor, recreation and park department, office of economic and workforce development, San Francisco international airport, office of the and organizations to support San Francisco in hosting panda bears from the peoples republic of china, notwithstanding the behested payment ordinance. Thank you, madam clerk we have with us today um, shawn chief of staff to the mayor, i see that supervisor safai would you like to Say Something before the gentleman comes forward go ahead. Thank you, mr. Chair and i was wondering who was going to be here but, you know, were considering in front of us today, the behested payment waiver ordinance to allow the mayor with other departments to raise 25 million or more for a panning panda enclosures but with the pressing needs perceiving two weeks ago a multiple of organizations that deal with children, youth, and families received services for 25 million of cuts were happening in particular just to underscore apa conciliate us know of 70 million in cuts violence presentation and teenager pregnant and Health Centers programs that were funded for thirty years and so we all know the city faced and significant Financial Exchange in the next two years and ready to mobilize significant focus on the panda bears pins a few years ago we championed together and the mayor initiative to raise money for summer programs afterschool programs and hubz we want to the Philanthropic Community and for low income families provide low and free cost summer camps and despite the fact dcyf has the proven capacity to raise funds without waivers for the Central Programs and fact wearing facing 25 million no cuts it is truly unconscionable to prepare for a facility not 100 percent certain were to get it and after that as possibly we been reported in the paper there are millions of dollars in disrepair at the zoo for the facilities workers are upset and workers with filed complaints. So i introduced a resolution on tuesday i know many of the colleagues supported that your honor, the mayor to initiative the same level of fundraising for comments for urgency of 25 million in cuts for children and families this is prioritizing our future and children over panda bears if we can rally a home for panda bears we can rally to raise money foreseeable programs that impact every Single Person in the city so i have a multiple of questions ill save those until after the presentation but i thin
