We will move to the first presentation on financial access. I have Paulina Araica and tim gilbert. Good afternoon commissioners and staff andpublic. Im pauliney with [inaudible] and i am also the ada coordinator for physical access along with [inaudible] who is the ada coordinator for programming. We actually look into the issues and the programs for ada in the capital plan. I am pleased to pronet present to you analysis of the supplemental analysis of the status of rec and park, ada programming for recreation included in the 2010 ada standards. As part of the recreation and Park Department, ada transition plan we embark on the project to be able to make a statement [inaudible] get the recommendation to our programs to be provided in facilities and sites that are generally meeting 10 of the 1991 ada guidelines or the 2010 ada standards. And also to fiend out if they are barriers that need to be addressed in order to meet the Program Accessibility. As you know, Program Accessibility can be accomplished in different ways by removal of a structural barrier and other [inaudible] like providing alternative sites, using aids or different ways to be able to provide accessibility to people of all abilities. With this analysis, we were able to look first of all at our ifficiencies being able to provide Program Accessibility, but also were able to see if the accessibility in our department would view in its entirety if it is meet thg requirements for ada. So, im pleased to say that as part of the analysis we look in its entirety. The rec and Park Department has accomplished 65 percent of compliance with all the recreation elements that are in the 2010 ada standard, but of course there is 35 percent that we still need to work on and with the presentation by till gilbert, you bill be able to get little more detail on the recreation elements. I know that we are very tight with the presentation at this time, but later on the council would like to get more specific details we will be happy to provide it at a later date. With that, i will present tim gilbert that will do the presentation mpt. Thank you. Thank you for inviting us to the presentation, we are very excited about this work and as park planners and accessibility consultant we understand the importance of recreation to our world and families and individuals so this is important. Mrs. Araica did a good job describing the goaloffs the proctand goal thofz ada which is provide service tooz the public in Accessible Facilities and this project specifically focuses on those recreation elements that were include in the new ada standard established in 2010, but going into effect 2012. The work that was initated in the dedevelopment of the project included workshops and interviews with rpd staff. We looked at bond measure jz accomplishment of the bond measure jz rpd material squz rec and park website, very good information there. We developed programmatic factors work wg staff and pub lb and will talk about that in a second to help with the analysis not just looking at the physical condition of the Recreation Development but the context the activities take place within our community. We analyze the Financial Condition physical condition of the recreation elements i and put that information into extensive and detailed database with mapping that allows staff ongoing to review, analyze, sort and straty removing barriers. We also connected a very successful Public Focus Group with the independent living resource sent r of San Francisco where we had members the community helped us determining the program factors and sharing with us their experiences in recreation and Park Department. The project tool squz resources coming owl of this project specifically are substantial analysis report, which will contain the data, the details on the program factors on the recreational elements themselves in addition to the interactive map system in gis, something that the department and the city has developed over the time, but now this data will be integrated into that system, so the staff can assist the department in making strategic decisions, looking alresults, tracking improvements and ability to give a good picture where we stand any given time. And also presentations to you, to recreation and parks Operation Staff which we did last month successful meeting with them and will meet with park s and Recreation Commission as welt. The recreation elements we looked at include all of those things that are in the new 2010 ada. Amusic, roids, exercise equipment, field sports like basket ball and tennis, fishing piers, golf facilities, play areas, Recreational Boating facilities, boat docks, shooting facilities like archery ranges and so forth. Sports courts which are thereare many of. Sorry, field sports are soccer, softball and baseball. The sports courts are the baseicateball tennis and other hard surface and swimming pools. We looked at all the feature squzs and sates available to the public available in the rpd inven tone but boating and recreation facilities, some sites are managed by the port of San Francisco and other entities manage some the rec facilities. An analysis was done but are able to be sorted interms of the action San Francisco would want to take. This data has been as i mentioned put into a database and mapped. The numbers are substantial in some cases. Amusement riseds there are only 4. The care sl at golden gate park. Exercise equipment include the Outdoor Recreational elements found along ong path ways. 116 Field Support fields. 3 fishing piers, i think two of those are not rpd managed. 16 golf facilities ranging from golf courses to putting green or driving activity like in moscone park there is a small golf facility there. Play areas, lots of them, 217 located in many parks. Recreational boating, shooting facilities, sports courts, 305 sports court and 9 swimming pools. It is a substantial resource. The analysis that was done on this inventory of facilities categorized the recreation element and the associated support facilities including parking, path of travel and club housing into two categories of good physical access including the path of travel, parking and restroom, recreation and club housing when they were accessible and usable by people with disabilities, or poor physical access in which it is determined that they do have significant barriers to access. In addition to the physical evaluation of these elements, we determined a set of what we are calling programmatic factors which is important because this is the context in which these recreation elements exist. For instance, if there is a unique or specialized facility, there isnt much choice about moving the location of that activity to the other element if there isnt another element so we felt we needed to look at the specialized or unique component of a rec element. We also want to look at the scale of the areas serve said. For instance, playgrounds are inherently a neighborhood facility, but golf courses are inherently a city wide facility, so that make as difference how to achieve the programmatic access so we did a careful sorting and that was something we are very much advised by the community in the focus group. We also looked at access to public transst recognizing people use Public Transit to get to these places. And that is a walking distance often. And proximity to schools and libraries because of the senurgy of programs particularly maybe for youth so wanted to add those to the mix of factors not just the physical environment. Those are all included in the eval uation. We looked can i get the control room to zoom on the map to the right of the interpreter during the slide . Thank you. We have a map here both in the powerpoint and in the room. The map probably will not be very helpful to people because it is very small scale but just to verbally describe the fact we have 12 supervisor districts and many many many, more than 690 elements within the area, the inventory of facilities so this was just a example of the complexity of the project. But to move from the complexity to the summary in a sense, we through our analysis were able to establish priorities. We determined that the number one priority for making these elements accessible when viewed in entirety is look at the recreation elements with high program scores so lots of people use them, access to transit, maybe unique, maybe close to a school or facility and it may be city wide program. The high program factors and they have poor physical access, so that constitutes high priority. There are areas that have a lower programmatic score, but still have poor physical access, so that would be the second priority. Well, the best scenario were the recreation elements that have high program scores, lots of people use them, close to transit and schools and libraries and have good physical access so that is the best scenario. Then the next best is where we have a low program score, but we still have good physical access. Really the action to be taken are in the first two priorities. I like to present thank you control room. Can you go back to the slide . I like to just very briefly go through some of the physicalsome of the analysis o
