[inaudible] gave a million dollars back in 2011 to create the pal street promenade and give 33 thousand a year. this is the 5th and final year so we are negotiating to continue. winter walk we received 25 thousand from oewd. this was the pedestrian pop up plaza on stockton and the [inaudible] is give relief on stockton who feel the impact of the subway construction which is about 8 years. this was a give back to them and welcoming pedestrian for visitors. we raised about 187 thousand in other grants. we have a annual lunch that we host every year, also sponsorship for map and guide and what not. overall accomplishment the big is the grant from silicon valley. about 10 thousand hours of sfpd officers were able to be delivered in the area and we kept or the police kept good records as we asked them to in how many incident were recorded about 13 thousand ins lnts. we were able to spread cameras. we started with about 38 and then at the end of fiscal year 15 we now have over 100 and today have over 250 cameras. i mentioned the grants. back to clean and safe. in particular this fiscal year we changed service providers. we had a service provider for 15 years and the board was eager to see what other companies are out there so we made a change and hired block by block and they are doing a good job providing the same services but work with us closely. weologist hire adsocial worker from the [inaudible] we needed to do a better job on outreach so have a full time [inaudible] that works us and keeps statistics every munthd how many are being refer to the 311 shelter list and how many go to drug and alcohol, shelter, case management so we keep these stats and the t is somewhat successful, we are discovered about 50 percent resist service, but remaim commitmented as is the social worker into making a difference for the folks in need. we have 13 safety and hospitality [inaudible] this is off the charge how many calls for assistance. i bow i call 2 or 3 times a day. feel free to call the dist patch number if you see issues. those are essentially or services there. about 10 percent of the budget goes to market, streetscape and public affairs so i'll starkt with marketing. the website is the corner stone of the marketing program. we have a social media program, on facebook and twitter. genie does a great job about keeping the budge with union square. we do a news letter everything friday. hopefully you are on the list and if you are not we can add you. we produce a map and guide for the tourist listing all the murchints the area so people can find us. streetscape and public realm is a area that excites me creating a public space within our district that are clean and safe and active and interesting and give people a reez toon come to union square. winter walk was a huge success. we were excited to partner with mta. they came together and partnered with us on this and made a significant investment for those 5 weeks over the holidays. merchants benefit and enjoyed it and now we are working with the city to look at stockton street as you know so what is stockton street going to be? bring the cars back or pedestrian thorough fair so we had a [inaudible] and excited to keep you informed and involved and work you on this. stockton street and also pal street, what do we do with pal street? they took the cars off and there is red paint so we are looking at pal street. what will that be in the future do we keep a side walk and just a cable car. those streets are key because they connect market to union square. we feel we need to accommodate pedestrians without losing site to create more congestions and have to give the hotel access for the guest s to come and go so looking at that with mta and dpw and other departments so exciting time in the public realm. we are also looking that back alleys. we have a number of alleys now we spend more time cleaning up than keeping safe. we feel we can activate them positively. we are looking at [inaudible] alley, the city will help repave if t and look to put arts and food trucks in there to create a exciting alley. of course main lane we don't want to let that go, that is gem in the district so looking to activate that with food trucks maybe as well. public affairs, i mentioned this ida conference was a big success for us, the bid, it was a chance to show case all that we do and also a opportunity not only for us but all the other cbd and [inaudible] in san francisco to learn best practices. the other bid across the country and also the networks to make the connections and share best practice, so huge success. we had over 800 attend and raised over $250 thousand are the ida our partner and a great opportunity. thank you oewd and planning for partnering on this. i believe they saw a benefit as well to the conference so huge success. day to day we advocate for clean and safe issues. more police officers in union square to provide a welcoming presence to cut down on the quality of life issueess we see and serious crime. we have retail threft and assaults. we advocate for policeman and mobile food facilities and better public space, all kinds of things that will make sure the area can clean safe and vibrant. challenges, despite the investment we make and our strong partnership with the city agencies we continue to have challenges. this is what the district looks like many mornings when we come in and it is discorjing for our workers to deal with this day and in day out. a lot of it is the illegal scavaging at night. we don't have services at night so they go through the trash. some of it is own the merchants. they put out card board illegally. the city has limited resource squz think they are 2 enforcement officers >> there used to be twoir 24 >> i know, i had 8 working for me when i was at dpw. they do a good job. this is a serious challenge for us. and then on the safety side too or public realm, i think more enforcement is needed oin terms of what is in the public right of way. we get illegal vendors out there, we get art vendors that are not don't have a permit at all. now there is no quality design stand frrds the street artist, we would like to see that implemented so the presentation of the street artist matching the presentation in the high end retail stores. some is slaucky. we are working with howard [inaudible] to get basic design standards so think that is important. and then traffic enforcement we have a lot of congestion in union square. a lot of the interections are backed up so more enforcement is helpful. i touched on crime, we have seen a spike for property crimes, breaking into car windows, breaking into store windows, crazy things happening. huge thefts all most 200 thousand of merchandise and you think it is a high end store but the individuals working are victims too. it is intimidating what is going on when you get charged with a gang stealing. more police presence would help. we had a meeting with a investigator from the police so hopefully they will catch these individuals. more of that is needed. also we have been focused on the homeless issue and i know the city is also doing which is very important. important to having a comprehensive continuum of care. we become familiar with what is available but it isn't all coordinateed. there needs to be more housing or safe shelters, housing, more services. our social outreach worker doesn't always have places to snd people or things to give people and it can be frustrating so there do need to be more services for folks especially the mentally ill y. have seen a increase of more mentally ill and they are more vocal. they are in a active state of psychosis so this isn't good for them or the city. the outreach worker can't necessarily handle individuals like that. they need to be taken into custody and given the care they need so we are commitmented to that. however we make that happen with the city to create more services for the mentally ill. upcoming opportunities, [inaudible] this is really our program to address homelessness in meaningful ways. couple components the oitreach worker is one component. law enforcement when it is need today enforce the quality of life law jz also education. we are trying to educate the merchants and property owners about how to address individuals in need in the street and say call if you see someone in distress, dribet social service organizations and connect. learn what the city is doing and learn what we are doing. this year we will embark on a strategic plan. we want to understand the direction the bid so we will come together and do that. renewal, ofend next year we have to think about renewing the bid and [inaudible] you were instrumental helping renew in 2004 so talk to you again about renewing if the stakeholders want to renew. security cameras, continuing to expand the program. silicon valley, we hope they will be a on going partner in safety. pal and stockton is a focus this year to determine with the city what the streets should be. and again, more activation the alleys and advocacy. sit on the california downtone association board so we look at advocacy across california and what may impact us in san francisco in terms of clean, safe homeless policy so think that is important for us and will continue to do that. our vision-i'm having a hard time seeing that but i do know the vision. clean and safe. we want to keep the side walks immaculate and the district safe so the people feel comfortable walking around and want to come to the district. increase the number tooz union square and keep it a vibrant place and make sure business is good and property values are strong. fiscally we want to maintain solid finances and ben does a excellent doing that. and creating a vibrant district where we have public spaces that are activated and clean and safe, welcoming. union square is the heart of san francisco and a gem and we heap to keep it that way frayears to come. thank you. >> thank you mr. flood mrs. flood and let me say it was a pleasure renewing the bid in 2004. when it started in the 90's it a countversal notion to create a business improvement district that was renewing the bid thatsent me down the road of creating the community benefit district enabling law and want to thank you for being a resource to the other cbd and bid in the city. you were the first that union square bid was dh first and become the model and flag ship and think we should also acknowledge all of the donors which are the individuals that agreed to tax themselves to augment city services. there are absolutely challenges, it is a microcosm of all the challenges we are facing in the city, but as you said, there are also remarkable opportunities. i never would have thought a decade ago that the union square association and cbd would a advocate a street dlozeier on stockton street but the traffic patterns have changed overthe years we have the opportunity. i can't tell you how many people loved the winter walk and delighted it is spurring a new set of opportunities. i am excited about the public realm changes and thank you to you and mr. horn for taking the time to brief me couple months ago when i first became a supervisor. there are challenges, i would love to work with you particularly around trash clean up which isn't emdemic to union square but the entire city but in commercial corridors we should consider pursuing legislation to require toters and the larger 3 art beens be locked at night. all the pictures you see that happen ons the polk street corridor and the broadway and north beach the trash cans go out at 10 at night and between scavagers and individuals pushing them over and toters over loaded and the wind comes is a large part the cleanliness problem so love to persee that with you. you is a lot to teach us here and thank you for grap wlg the homeless issues, hire a social service worker is a a remarkable thing from a community based non profit, so thank you for doing that and with that, supervisor breed you have any questions? >> yes, i don't have questions i just had-well questions and compants. i think union square bid is definitely a model. i know that over the years including fillmore street we had a bid and unfortunately that failed, mission street has had the challenges and no longer in existence and i do appreciate the work that you have done to try to help and support other bids but i think what makes this bid a success is the leadership and the team that actually implements what is necessary north north s to look at the-air i as a whole and make sure changes are made and going after fundsing sources is key to do that. i applaud you for the work you have done as a frequent work it oo the area. things have chaichcks especially around traffic. i know that is a frustration for mean personally with ellis street in particular and the lines of cars and trying to access the garage and just i'm glad it opened up, the walk has been incredible. i love just walking through that area. it feels open and free and it is crowdedx but you know what happened throughout the year. we will have to go through the motions of letting the central subway do what it needs to do, but i really appreciate you taking a real look at making that walk available potentially on a permanent basis. union square is always crowded with people is qu want to make sure delivery trucks and taxis and folks who drop folks off have public access but think a public realm can be great. the strategic plan you are proposing, i'm a fan of strategic plans and glad you are looking where are we now and where do we need to go and how can we make downtown one the best experiences not just the visitors but the residents who are saying i don't want to go downtown. i talk to the guy who i buy my beauty hair supplies from near macey's near beauty land and they are frustrated because they know the locals are saying we don't want to come down here anymore. i think it is important to have the bid take the lead on trying to figure how we make downtown better and safer and i think the cameras, the additional police officers are a big big big big addition to that and grateful for that. but, i know that the responsibility of what is happening down there with the mentally ill individuals it isn't something you should have the bear the burden of. we as a city have a obligation to do better which is why i pushed to put a bond on the june ballot to help prepare our locum facilities so there are places to take these individual jz also have to make sure there are folks to receive them and those individuals are trained in helping real challenges because i see the difference. i see not just a significant number of mentally ill individuals in the downtown area , i see in the all neighborhoods so as a city you have to look at that and make changes and beheld accountable to pushing through the policies that will make a difference so it is just not on a particular neighborhood to figure out a solution. so, i want to thank you for your efforts. this is really exciting and i just hope that when other bids are moving forward that they somehow immolate the work you have been able to do. this is the gold standard and a model and don't have to reinvent the wheel but ultimately i want to see fillmore have a bid again but i want to make sure we do it right and successful long term so you very fortunate this bid is as successful as it is. i know there challenges and committed to try to work with you on the challenges so again thank you for your work. >> great so very much president breed and peskin. >> any member thofz public who would like to testify on item 5? seeing none public comment is closed. supervisor breed do we have a motion to send this matter to the full board with recommendation? >> so moved >> without objection the motion is
