2014. We are responsible for insuring all cv and bids meet their plans and conduct a annual review of reports [inaudible] provides a memo student the board of supervisors which you all should have in your packets. Here is a map of the union square [inaudible] there are over 500 businesses assessed in this district. In terms of the formation when it was originally formed, we will have it be expired in june 30, 2019 and it is property base squd cleths just over 3 Million Dollars. In terms of operations, there are several staff members, 2 of which are here today, caryn [inaudible] executive director and genie hunt gibbon who is marketing and quhunication manager. In terms of Service Areas they center 3 main areas that are clean and safe, marketing advocase [inaudible] and management and operations. In terms of the bunch marks we reviewed during the process we looked at 4 items. The first being whether or not their budget amount is in alignment with the Management Plan, the second is whether Union Square Business Improvement District collected 1 percent of [inaudible] whether the various between the budget amount and actual spent for the district were within 10 percent points and whether it Business Improvement district is indicating what amount theyll care ato the next fiscal year. For bench mark 1, Union Square Business improvement 1112 and 12, 13, were exceeding the amount in what they allocated to marketing [inaudible] this is attributed to their success in collecting non assessment grant dollars for 2 major street scape improvement projects in the district. Tin terms of non assessment revenue versus assessment revenue collected, the Business Improvement district well exceeded that expectation. Asia can see in fiscal year 10, 11, they reached well over 25 percent of that goal. In terms of budget versus actuals, in fiscal 11, 12 and 1213 and in clean and safe they were at 13 percent and at market [inaudible] they were at 11. 9 percent. A lot of this is attributed to non assessment dollars received in the fiscal yours and spent in those years as well. Yes . [inaudible] if you could get to had conclusion. We red the report and are familiar with the contents. Not to short chaij you or the bid, but we are familiar with most of the details. We can skip over a lot of these items and i want to make sure i give a opportunity to caryn to provide information. Ill skip to the final part of my presentation. Just in terms of recommendations, i think our lessen learned is we need to be able to separate non assessment and assessment dollars when we do our process because it is unfortunate appears our bids and cbds dont meet their requirements when they are. Ill skip all that because caryn will present on all the accomplishments of the bid. [inaudible] how mech time do you all have . I have 7 minutes. Live it up.

We need a collaborative approach [inaudible] managing a district day to day isnt without its challenges. Top of the list, the legal scavaging and dump thofg carts the Property Owners put out at night. One of the cleaners said it looks like a tsunami when they come in in the morning. Number 2, enforcement of city codes and ordinance on a consistants basis. We know the city has limited resources and know San Francisco has a for giving approach to quality of life issues.

Finally, number of Public Safety and quality life issues, if you read any crime reports property crime is way up and our district is hit hard by retail, fast cars snashing through windows and steeling muchendize. This happens in the middle of the night. Homelessness and pand handling is a issue as affordability is a issue. We look at them as opportunities.

[inaudible] senior project managerophorous of economic and work force development. I will glance over the sides we already reviewed. Get to the exciting information. In terms of bench mark 1, Management Planverses annual budget. On the land side we did see a variance with respect to side walk beautifulication and order. This is explained to a increase cost of parking control officers to help address pedestrian activity only jefferson street and increase ambassadors along that areas as well. In terms of Management Plan verse annual budget, on theport side the fishermans cbd was well within the 10 percent range. With respect to bench mark 3 for the fiscal year, assessment receive new they well exceeded this expectation as well. And then in terms of budget to actual for land side we did see a little bit of a skew on district identify and street scape improvement by 3. 4 percent and on the port side 2 percent increase. Lets see, this is explained by expenses related to hiring a new employee and war fest 2013 which was a event that helped replace the fleet week events that were sequestered. In terms of careee, we plan to careee over 56 thousand dollars into the this fiscal year and will work closeically to insure the funds. We want to the insure every cbd including Fishermans Warf and expanding the funds that was approved by the voters. I will bring up Troy Campbell that is executive director of fish ermans warf that will talk about the programmatic accomplishments good afternoon, hello. I will go throw some of the programs, the initiatives, the things that we worked on in the 13, 14 fiscal year. I want to point out we are 2 cbd, a property base land side and that is area in green and a Business Base port side which is in purple. We have committees, marketing, transportation, [inaudible] peer safe which is acronym for partners [inaudible] here is are the highlights. We redesigned and printed 300 thousand brochures to Visitor Centers and 850 towerest site in the bay area. We provided sponsorship for the [inaudible] as the 2013, [inaudible] we hosted war fest as a place holder which is now a annual event and increased the majority of businesses on [inaudible] and sold over 850 tickets to the beer gaurd squn first ever clam chowder comtitian. For the month of october we received twebt thousand visitor tooz the site that doubled. The average. [inaudible] 5 we also helped produce that year the holiday life and [inaudible] with scibt votes from the fishing fleets and saint francisuate club at pier 39 and hung [inaudible] and provided lights for the sport fishing fleetsism we produced the Second Annual crab fest which included [inaudible] reraised nearly 4 thousand dollars which we donated to local non profit. That year we are designed the website and home page. We optimized the Search Engine and rebuilt the template to a responsive design. Having done that we started setting records and highs starting to reach over 30 thousand visitors a month which you can see by this graph is way over the average that we had over previous years. We also designs 2 microcytes, one is [inaudible] and we designed that tobroid a better place sfr the community geet information about these c berks d and delineate between the commune tay pages and public pages. We also designed, the horet website is fish ermines warf events. Com. It shares information about events and meetings at the warf and listed the venues. We kicked this off with a launch party. We had over 200 people representing the venues [inaudible] local media. We were also able to get facebook and this took years to do. [inaudible] that means our posts are getting more engagement and became a valuable marketing asset. We also rezerected our news letter which receives about a 37 percent rate open rate, which is good. It continues to grow about 12 percent per year. One of the big things we did that year and this happened ath the beginning of the fiscal year is the fisherman warfs crab sign was in jeopardy of being red tagged by the port of San Francisco. It rusted out so we irk would the muchant association and the port and at a cost of about 115 thousand dollars it was replaced and we replaced the incandescent lights with led lights talight it up. For the First Time Ever we hired a Marketing Manager and she created a marketing plan. We were able to get that out to the district and a lot of businesses use that as a boiler plate. We expanded the ambas door policeman which is invaluable tr the district. It helps do out reach and is a vital part of the community. The program is well receives and we emerged the cleaning and hospitality into one ambassador. Youll see the stats here. Some of the biggest is they removed 15 thousand pounds och trash and helped over 20 thousand people with directions and hospitality. We worked with town square this year as a Community Internet site where we share information. One of the main things that we worked on here was for muchant to share information about shop lifters, people that they are having issues with, they can share that information and provide a alert. If someone shauf lifts in one store, they can [inaudible] we ran a [inaudible] program that year and our tb officer issues over 200 citations and made 7 arrests. We continuedwe lit con rad square, a dark park that receives a lot of crime, we lit the park because it has no outside lighting. We held work shops on sustainable fishing where we get the restaurants to remove one red item and replace it with a sustainable item. We also held a free Human Resource work shop and during this year we held the Second Annual job fair where we had 20 different businesses participating and many businesses hired at least 34 people. Advocacy, we worked with [inaudible] we continued to advocate for the e line and the extinegz fort mason and continued our promotion and advocacy to jefferson street which we feel is very important for the vitality for the area and recent numbers show every a 6 month period our 3 cameras on jefferson street that we have up now, compared to the 3 most heavily trafficked areas of time ger, from septto february, fishermans rf wahas [inaudible] thank you for your presentation. Supervisor christensen i just want to say you know im a big fan of the bid, cbd concept and what fixermans warf and uniier do is fantastic. We hear a lot of bad news, it is great to hear oof the appreciatements and the way the organizations are augmenting the cities efforts to take care of ourselves [inaudible] it deserve as wider audience and more balloons and confetti you are getting, but the reports speak for themselves i will echo that. It is showing to me thethis is a perfect example of what cbd should be doing and i wish all the cbds in the city were as wealthythat is the main thing. Thank you for saying that. One question from [inaudible] that i had about this and im always curious because we only have one cbd in the district, but are trying to get a second, and i always wonder what the cbds do for vaeckancy . Do they get involved with when dhai see vacant store fronts and so forth . Do they try to bring in business somehow . Each is different so they are governed by eemp of the Management Plans. Some of sth plans are resfricktive where some can only be focus odon clean and safe and there are some that have Economic Development as a part of the marketing program. There are a handful of cbds that focus on filling vacancy. I know troy explained to me that many of the commercial vacancy it is hard to attract retail and offices to the space because of transporpation to the bart line is extremely slow and infrequent to Fishermans Warf so that is something i want to help try to tackle with them in the future thank you very much. Thank you for your presentations. This is very eyeopic and seeing what you guys actually do with the funding. [inaudible] any Public Comment . No Public Comment. There is a motion on the floor motion passes. Is there anything else . No further business meeting is adjourned. Written directors report the prototype plan
