funding, deferred maintenance, and the general funding, so you can look forward to that on a monthly basis starting next month. >> commissioner harrison has a question for you. vice president harrison: on the first page, is this 50%, or that is the cost of the project? >> it is the amount we have available to spend on deferred maintenance projects in the fiscal year 2011. >> it is 50%? >> they agreed to take 50% of the existing balance, which was about $1.7 million, and 50% of the allocation into the contingency fund going forward. in 2009, there was $1.7 million

available, and at the beginning of the fiscal year there will be another half a million dollars available, and those seats will $2.2 million. >> that represents 50%. >> it represents 50%. >> there is still some left for the commissioners. >> though you are spending on its. krasko ahead. -- go ahead. as draw serious for that. 2.2 was the target.

i want to explain to the process we went through to a rise of the sorest. this is a collaboration, so we met repeatedly to go through the process to arrive at these projects. we first met to revere of our properties -- to review all our properties listed in our data base. some of the longer term commissioners may recall a couple years ago the department did purchase the database, and the contractor did an assessment of all the systems and all the facilities that we have. for any given building, the electrical system, the plumbing system, and then using industry

standards to assign a value, which the database automatically updates annually of the facility ages, and as we accomplish significant repair, we enter that into the database, and it of its life cycle. -- updates its cycle. gethe two areas that their most useful are they have a title of beyond useful life were approaching, which means it accomplishes maintenance or it will be more costly to replace them then repair them, so that is where we started. from that, they went through our

total managed assets database that we used to affect the database to find out those that had been put off for reasons either because it was too large or the complexity exceeded the scope of what our crafts accomplish and would need some sort of contractor or outside vendor to accomplish the work. we met to prioritize the project based on public safety concerns, need. we also tried to achieve some degree of geographic diversity through the city so we are not congregating in one particular neighborhood, so we can spread it out to the best of our

ability. the results of that process is what you have in your package, and i know it is late, but i can briefly walk you through the projects. you see them listed in priority order, so you will have the site, and then you will see two columns, and then you will also seen the work is proposed to be accomplished by a maintenance crew, or if this would be allocated to the job order contract process, which is managed by the capital division. one of the key deciding points to making that decision is the city code requires a certain level of work, beyond which -- i think it is set at about

140,000. the work has to be offered at a bid. it has to be bid out, so that means my first priority was chinese playground and to resurface the club house rules. the clubhouse was below grade, and since that is a specialized construction combination, we need a special contractor to do that. that is actually the only basketball court in chinatown, and there's a great demand for basketball in chinatown, so this became our number one priority,

and it has been there for its useful life. no. 2, it is very large on a very small park. there was a landslide that occurred about a year and a half ago, and it is because of constant concern, because we need to put a cable and ronda system in place, because there will be over time further rock slides, and we would like to have a containment system so we have an effort in place. a through d is an optional process for us. every year we bring each of them

down for two years, where we accomplished some of the routines on the swimming pool. sadly, we do not know what we have until we get in there. we know we can assess the condition. the remaining system, circulation pump, and everything else, and this is what happened there reagan -- what happened there. we found out it could no longer be used, and that led to a whole host of concerns. buthese are our two oldest schools. one is in worse condition, so we decided to put a place holder so

when it goes down this fall, we can do significant work is called for, and we will have funding available to do so out of the deferred maintenance account, so these were notional projects we would anticipate, perhaps on a worst-case basis. if not, we can address whatever the scope would be, so we are recommending that. jackson playground is the outside field lighting. buthe outside lighting system hs been failing. garfield school -- we do need to replace the remaining three of the other -- remaining roof o

dr.gutter. jake roof gut -- roof gutter. clubhouse is much beloved and very dangerous. it is grossly deteriorating, and it needs replacement, and that is a big public safety concern for us. bob dole of pool did make the list as well. -- balboa pool did make the laws as well. if i can keep the roots integrity, i can usually hold on to the other systems. goothose of you that have done e renovations probably know this. public utilities commission has been very helpful.

they have done an updated energy system, and they were doing some light things work, and they found your air handling system is failing, and of course, the staff knows that as well, because they have had difficulties as well, and it did not come up in comment. union square is interesting in that it was recently renovated, but we had a great deal of problems with the lighting system. there are a lot of stairs, and

the lights have failed because of a faulty design when they did renovation they did a puddle of water we need to get it working. it continues to fail. but as the worst of the processes we would need to undertake. taking that together and adding a 5% contract feet and then having a 15% to% contingency,

that ran the sheets at $2.2 million. at the bottom of the spreadsheet, some of them come in under budget, or we do have funds that would be available. the first, second, and third runner ups are listed, and we will look fm within the scope of that. >> thank you. >> is there any public comment? the none, public comment is closed. vice president harrison: this is a good use of this money. it is no good in the bank. when these projects are done, are you preparing a list for the next influx? >> talking to your microphone.

>> do we have an influx to be done? >> we do. using the database in this manner, we know what would be next. he would then like to compare those to our preferred maintenance over the year and make the same trade-off decisions at that time. >> and the work before them -- a lot of it is structural. >> i remember when i started that amount, it had to go out to bid. >> it has been a $120,000 category.

>> i know historically we have had some issues with irrigation problems, and i could list a slew of them. have we addressed most of those issues? then i want to ask you, did we address the issue of the park or a neighbor who has major problems in the back of their yard? >> i thank you for mentioning that. there is one thing i failed to mention. all properties undergoing bond renovation or some other

wholesale upgrade were taking considerations. they are going to be addressed by that, so irrigation is going to be addressed totally within the bond renovation. we will be receiving a little over $2 million to address our most pressing irrigation system needs, and we are looking at where we will be spending that money. between the upcoming bond projects, we will be able to address irrigation with that.

this last year we took care of the entire sale wall, and i have been out there the last couple months, and it has all been addressed. >> thank you. >> thank you. any other questions? there was no public comment, as i recall. is there a motion? all those in favor? >> aye. >> opposed, nine. >> item 17 is the proposed recreation complex. >> i need to ask to be recused because my partner works for a the company. >> we need a motion to recuse commissioner sullivan. against all those in favor? >> aye.

opposed, hearing none. >> i am a project manager. the project is a plan for the recreation center. it is located in east san francisco. it sits on two entire blocks. the plan i am showing shows the recreation center, and it shows a couple courts. it has a play area along with a

separate area with a large area to the northwest. to the east we have a couple of ball fields. the photo on the overhead is the existing recreation center. the building has steps, so it is not wheelchair accessible. once you get inside, it is located on two levels. those levels are not wheelchair accessible. it needs seismic upgrade. the system and the center is

deteriorated beyond useful life. here we have a photo of the basketball court similar to the recreation center. many of the centers are beyond useful life. we see a photo here of the playground, which no longer meets the guidelines, and here we see a photo that is heavily used and the landscaping. the park and recreation center receive $41.1 million. the department held a meeting

from january to may. as a result, a plan was generated. in addition to fulfilling the basic requirements, it will upgrade the existing system, to make upgrades and also to make it compliant with the americans with disabilities act. we have been able to include more projects in this. in looking at the overall park site, we are making it more level. within the red box, i have a

drawing here. one of the significant increases will be the entry into the recreation center more accessible. rather than lead you to a 3000- square-foot recreation center to provide more at the recreation center. you will also notice that compared to the original layout, the basketball court and the playground are lost. this allows us to locate the play area next to the recreation center, where the monitoring of activity can be better done with the current configuration. here is the perspective.

you have an aerial view of of the center. first of all, this will be on the top of it. it is over 5000 square feet and will have to be energy efficient. it will be focused on water use, and we are focused on creating water retain men.

the staff recommendation is to approve this, and that concludes my presentation. >> is there any public comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> i have one question. on the soccer field, is that natural turf for artificial turf? >> it would be natural turf. and at one time there was a study done to look at synthetic turf, and the cost was very prohibitive for this project. >> any other comments? >> how much did you say was available for the construction? >> the total project is $21.2 million, but construction is $13.2 million.

also, i forgot to mention i do also have a letter of support from the leader of the local chapter, so i have copies of a letter here. >> so there is no public comment. i entertain a motion. moved and seconded. all those in favor? >> aye. >> opposed, none. >> we are now on item 18, which is the crown heights trail restoration. >> we are getting there. >> good evening, commissioners. my name is meghan. i am a park manager. the item before you this evening

is the crown heights trail restoration project plan for discussion and possible action to approve. this is funded by the 2008 neighborhood parks fund. a community meeting was held chu lai 6, and they received support from those present -- was held june 23, and they received support from those present. it ifeatures are rocky outcrop,a forested area, relatively few trees to the higher elevation. panorama of views of the city beyond. the project is $100,000, and the limited budget will be used to target areas.

the corona-restoration project will provide financing for public safety and protects sensitive habitat, restored native plants, and provide finance. -- signage. the blue line is a new trial, desired by neighbors, which will connect the neighborhood below to the playground. the second plan shows the character, a fence to match the existing one recently provided by a community group and the habitat plan. it is anticipated some of the work will be performed by

contractors and other community volunteers. in fact, volunteers will be sponsoring a community trail building even on the weekend of august 21 and august 22 to help build the trail. this will help gain more trail improvements at the side. if the plan is approved, staff is prepared to move forward with the contract and be complete by the end of this year. the staff recommends the approval of the plan for restoration. that concludes this presentation. i am available for questions. >> i have public comment. are either of them here? would anyone else like to make public comments on this item? please come forward.

>> i am president of the corona heights neighborhood association, a local homeowner and a local realtor. at corona heights hill, it is unique and in desperate need of some repair. it is for safety reasons. we have been concerned for some time. the trail restoration project is described as something the neighbors support we urge the commission to support it.
