kuwait -- not a point to provide input. >> we have been meeting on this for four months. there has been protraction on all of these things. we have been sensitive about everybody wants to contribute. if we want to put it in another section, that would be a different thing. we would have meetings going back again with folks that like it as it is. if we are missing something, we can add things, but if we are

going to change something, we will have to go back. there has been a lot of thought along the way. i know he has really driven this project. >> i just wanted to note there reason it is on for discussion and not action is the charter requires 10 days of notice, so in order to meet the notice requirement, we put it on for discussion for a future meeting, which we assumed was going to be december 28, but it is on for an end now discussion today. >> i think is important to get a commission decided to have the

vote at the meeting, because it was the largest meeting were the most discussion happened. you will know early on if it is ok with them. >> this is just a suggestion. i particularly like the use highlighted every day -- that the youth is highlighted in a positive and pro-active way. i think you have a lead by example with this piece. i think it is great to have more opportunities, and there are probably a ton of examples you can draw from as you put together this manual.

my only thing is you mentioned language access. it is not a hard and fast suggestion, but it might be helpful to mention for people who english is not their primary language, but if it is late in the game -- >> that is something i cannot believe i did not think of. >> i am sure the people would welcome that. >> if you can give us the language that would be appropriate, i see that belongs in there. if you can find the language to put in there, and running it by mour city attorney, i think that is absolutely appropriate.

>> it will not be a big, long chains. >> it does not sound like something you have to get permission for. >> there are many that say what about, and you have an epiphany. >> a lot of this is what should come natural to our officers. they learn about the community. that is why they joined the police department. it is great that new codified it, but is this something that can be used as a performance measure when evaluating officers? you are not going out to the community. you are just responding. is there any way to encourage the officers to make a performance measure?

>> absolutely. if some officer has not been clear, and i think most of the officers are, but there is always room for improvement. this is what we are here to do, and a supervisor should call the officer in, and it starts off with may i remind you, and if you get somebody that is intransigent, you tell them, it is a rule. you need to be able to get there, so i think the community expects their police department to be this way, and it is reasonable. >> is there anything further? is there any public comment regarding the general order

1.08, the draft general order? >> good evening once again. it is not clear to me what this is. are you coming up with a memo they are going to have to recite some of what is going on here? is this something he is going to love to pull out and recite and that he is going to have to get an okay from the board of supervisors bowman -- the board of supervisors. what are you trying to do? and regarding community policy, what do we not now intends to do?

it is not clear to remain the reagan -- it is not clear to me. are you going to force them to carry it around every time something and who takes place? it does not make a lot of sense to me in terms of where the burden is between the resident and a police officer, so i would like that explained to me so it will be explained to thousands of people watching this tv show. i think the chief of police is doing a great job, but i think also the commission of board of supervisors is attempting to put them in a hoop in terms of what

the police department is supposed to do as opposed to what their actual job is, and i would like some clarification and i would like this expanded in terms of bringing out some booklets in terms of what we are supposed to see. i thank you for your time, and i would like to see some documents on a line. quex hannity should come for all officers. they are supposed to be members of the community. they are not going to walk around with some iran the carbon. >> it is not clear remain that is what has taken place.

>> i cannot help if if if is not clear to you. >> it is not clear to a lot of people. he is going to have to carry some extra documents. i am still on my time. that is the clarification of would like to see, and i would like to see some documents and have them on the table. i thank you. >> any further public comment regarding community policing? >> the department's general orders are on line as public documents, and it is a large binder no one carries around, but is essentially the policies and procedures that govern the

police department. he is available on-line. it is about 2 inches thick, and this will become one of them. >> any public comment? hearing none, next item. >> item four, public comment on item 6 including a public vote on whether to hold item 6 in closed session. >> public comment regarding whether or not we go into closed session regarding personnel measures pursuant. any comments regarding that? hearing none, please call the next item. >> item 5, a vote on whether to hold the next item in closed session. >> we are now going to move into

closed session.

chairperson mar: good afternoon, welcome to the meeting. my name is eric mar. i and the chair of the committee. we are expecting vice chair malia cohen any minute. and with me is supervisor weiner. >> please turn off some phones

and electronic devices. speaker cards should be submitted to the clerk. aikens will be placed on the next agenda of the board of supervisors unless otherwise stated. chairperson mar: i would like to thank the staff apart -- of sfgtv, as always. i have had a recommendation from supervisor weiner to move to item 32 the last item. without objection, that is what we -- item 3 to the last item. without objection, that is what we plan to do. >> item 1, approving the jurisdictional transfer of property on 17th street and folsom st.. chairperson mar: i know we have a number of rock -- we have a

number of speakers from recreation and park that are here to answer questions if needed. there is linda robertson and alex randolph. thank you for providing the information to our office. i also want to acknowledge the members from the community that are here. mr. updike? >> members of the committee, john updike, real-estate. this is a jurisdictional transfer of a property at 17th street and folsom from the puc to the preparation and park department and the mayor's office of housing. it facilitates the park project on the southern part of the property and would allow for possible future development of the northern portion by the mayor's office of housing. look at that on the overhead in some detail.

the representatives from recreation and park will have a much more detailed explanation of the park project itself. i am going to give you the real- estate details. this transfer has been approved by the recreation and park commission and puc commission. the project is in conformance with previous ceqa approvals noted in the legislation. we're asking the board to adopt these findings, including the community planned exemption, and the mitigation monitoring and reporting program. the property is currently a parking lot under lease from the puc to ucsf > upon closing of the transfer, we will orchestrate the continued interim parking use of the property until such time as construction activities began. the property to be transferred has a total value of $6,271,850,

established by independent appraisal and approved by me. this price is to be spit -- split as mutually agreed between recreation and park and the mayor's office of housing. $4 million will come from moh. payment of overtime -- payments are overtime, subject to -- are over time, subject to appropriations. the mou is included in your package. there is identified remediation that needs to occur on site, approximated at $1.20 million. fiscal provisions are included in the mou. properly reflecting those costs as expenses to the see you -- as the puc, they act as offsets to revenue. this follows the traditional approach in the private sector,

treating the puc as the seller. a 10 ft. wide section of the property just above the yellow area on the map is under moh jurisdiction on the transfer. it will be used for park purposes, with appropriate restrictions. it is a document within the potential future moh development. we have members from recreation and park and moh, who are able to answer any detailed questions you might have. i would like to turn the presentation over to carol. >> good morning, supervisors. i am going to introduce april, from supervisor kim's office to say a few words. >> good afternoon.

it is our honor to sponsor this legislation today, and to sponsor the jurisdiction of transfer of this property from puc to recreation and park and the mayor's office of housing. this project, as you will be hearing from many public speakers who are here today, was a project going out of almost 10 years of community vision to have open space in this area. i wanted to thank the community that has kept on this and kept on the planning department to include this as part of the eastern neighborhoods plan. this was first articulated in the people's plan that was developed by the anti displacement coalition. i want to recognize that and put it front and center. this is a community driven process that will bring recreation, education, and housing opportunities to a community that has been disproportionately impacted by decades of environmental and social inequities.

in the implementation of this project, i want to thank the departments that have been involved. it has been an amazing collaboration of departments and many hours of staff time to get us to where we are today. we get to do the fun time of introducing this legislation to the board. it was the work of the planning staff and rec and park staff. the was sfpd see, the mayor's office of housing, mta, and the department of realistic. i want to thank the commissions of the puc and recreation and park. it is our honor to introduce this. thank you. chairperson mar: thank you. >> now i get to do the fun part. i am going to give a quick presentation on the 17th and folsom project. i am here from the recreation and parks department, planning division. one of the things we are excited

about is the idea of a new neighborhood park for the mission. i want to give you a quick overview of the really great funding story on this project. we have funding for all the different life expectancy of this park. i want to talk about that, about the community outreach, and an overview of going forward on this project. before the acquisition of the project, the total cost is $6.27 million. the rec and park portion is going to be coming from eastern neighborhood impact fees. the rest of it is from the mayor's office of house and budget. the buildup of the park is being funded by state grant money. we have already received that grant. it is very exciting. it was a competitive grant process, and we were able to receive that from the prop 84 grant. this will also cover the first

three years of maintenance of this new park. supervisor weiner: just a quick question on the funding. i saw reference in the mou to the rec and park open space fund. is there open space money going toward this? >> no. you are probably seeing a reference to -- we anticipate that over two years, eastern neighborhoods impact use would pay for the project. i think you are seeing a safety we would put in there in case the impact fees did not come as expected after four or five years. i think that is what you are seeing. but open space fees would pay for any portion. supervisor weiner: i know that in market octavia there have not been many impact fees so far, because of the market meltdown

and the lack of development. how confident are you the eastern neighborhood impact fees will actually materialize on the schedule they need to materialize? >> i have gotten recent projections from the planning department that showed it would be paid the first two years. i think we have a five-year window before the open space fund would have to be used. even if there is a significant delay in what we expect, we would still be able to meet that schedule. i can ask the planning department to speak on that. supervisor weiner: in terms of the exposure to the open -- the open space fund -- first of all, i am extremely supportive of this project. i think it is terrific and important to the neighborhood. i am not in any way opposed. but there is a very important project in my district, the noe valle town square -- valley town

square. there are going to be a lot of demands on the fund. i wonder if there is a way to guarantee that future revenue stream. >> we do not think so. it is a five-year proposition. right now, the fund is approximately $9 million, which is significantly more than we need. every year, that accumulates another $2 million to $3 million. but it is a good point we should continue to watch those funds as they come in. the eastern neighborhood cac voted this as their priority project. they have already designated those funds to go to this project first in line. supervisor weiner: this would have topped bids above everything else? >> yes. it has already been designated. >> the eastern neighborhood

passed a resolution that said the first $2.70 million -- the eastern neighborhood cac passed a resolution that said the first $2.70 million would go to the park. open space, every development that pays into it -- it is a significant portion of the fee. at the end of the year, we had about $300,000 in its so far, so there is some money in the eastern neighborhood fund. and we have the projections. i apologize. i do not have those numbers with me today. but we projected in two years we would have paid it off. just as an extra safety, we're saying if things went absolutely crazy in the next five years and are predictions were significantly off, we still have three years. supervisor weiner: if you could get those to me after the

hearing, that would be great. thank you very much. >> thanks for the question. i just wanted to show a quick diagram of both the 1986 recreation and open space element of the general plan -- this was designated as a high needs area. in the general plan being opened by the planning department, to the eastern neighborhood process that involved a lot of community meetings over many years, open space was identified as a priority. in these areas, we are going to see significant growth in the mission alone, which is where this project would be developed. we're going to see essentially 2000 new housing units, a housing increase of up to 7000 people. within a half mile radius of this site, there is only 0.3

units of park space per 1000 residents. this is a standard tool open space planners try to use to determine the -- chairperson mar: you said half a mile radius? >> yes. half a mile radius from the site. >> we really should a acknowledge the work of the staff that have been working on this for years, along with the community, to try to brainstorm and develop ideas for what this part could be. we've had over 15 community meetings. once this process -- once this jurisdictional transfer is complete, we will have additional meetings to further develop the design. in addition, we have been working closely with the mta to work on opportunities for increasing parking availability in the neighborhood over time,

as this paid parking lot -- paved parking lot would no longer be available. i just had a couple of slides. we had a lot of folks at the commission meeting. a lot of them have also made themselves available in the background of this meeting. you may hear more from them. there have been neighbors petitioning. there has been a lot of support from neighborhood organizations and housing organizations who would like the park available for their own community members and residents. there has been a lot of support from supervisors kim and campos. it is currently a parking lot owned by the public utilities commission, surrounded by businesses. it is in a high needs neighborhood. we will provide you an aerial photo. the central park portion is the portion in red.

here are images from the surrounding neighborhood. here are some more pictures. the red dot represents what the part is. -- the park is. this is the current plan. it identifies some major areas. we've talked about having a community garden spaces and a play area for younger people and adults, something that was recently done at the height of valley -- at the haight valley. people liked it a lot. we have talked about performances and youth activities. we want people to be able to experience a little bit of nature in this area that is quite solid and impermeable. we have also been trying to explore some innovative environmental strategies like capturing rainwater and reusing it on the site. i think this will have an exciting demonstration of some

of the great environmental stewardship we are trying to introduce -- bio soil, a retention basins, irrigation -- that will be further developed as this project goes along, funded with the state grant. here are images of some of those kinds of things you could potentially see in this site. we are going to be working closely with community members to try to do the same kind of intense on the ground out reach we have been able to do with some of our past projects. this project -- it is a very long road getting here. i would like to thank everybody from the mayor's office of housing, mta staff that are here if you have questions about that portion, members from the mayor's office of housing, and john
