grant from a foundation that is keeping the rec center open an extra day a week. we received $50,000 with extra gardening support. we continued to try to identify sources for operating. i want to talk about this very briefly, we asked our staff every year on how to reduce costs and the department. one of the park service area managers and his team came up with an idea, instead of having them go through every single neighborhood park to do trash pickup, our own staff has centralized points. as a result, we have fewer

stops. we are piloting this project in one of the service district this year. we expect savings of $50,000. supervisor avalos: that is existing fte's? >> yes. ecology does a lot of our trash pickup. it will be six or seven different locations. we would create a regional system of trash collection. i leave you with this. a conversation we have not participated.

we could be onto something efficient. >> that is with the existing ft e? >> ecology does a lot of our trash pickup. it would rather go to 67 different locations. our own staff would create a regional system of trash collection. this is a conversation we have not participated in. i -- if you think about the recreation and park department, you get a lot. the $65,000 a year. it is currently closed.

$130,000 a year. and on sundays and mondays. $320,000 a year. this adds addressing irrigation breaks. $71,000 an ounce to the custodial pool. these are very -- the reason we point this out is these trade- offs are real for us. the resulted in real and tangible services. with that i will conclude my presentation. >> thank you for the presentation. are there any questions? >> it is good to have that.

this is one for rec and park. the experience has been -- this is ok. this has been assigned and i could follow up. a couple of questions. i'm interested in a couple of questions. this is in san francisco. i am wondering how this was worked out. there are parts of our parks

that access, it might be a good way. i'm wondering where it is around that area. we are in legislation that will follow up. it is a function that is appropriate. we do have 35 communities. we do have 35 in oil and agriculture. and we do think there are other elements.

this would be appropriate to increase the connection. it is something that is consistent. this is something that would be consistent with our mission. quex are wondering. i like the idea.

this has been done recently. tough if people are not aware of

our services, or what we have to offer. it is not a thing we have to offer. we have worked hard. we have community functions and have created outrage. -- outreach. this is the process by which different staff have put together. and this excessively -- the success of our scholarship grandparents. we do focus every time we have

this opportunity where we get a donation or where able to auction something off or whatever. that money is being channeled into our scholarship fund. awhirl the money we do not raise of comes out of our revenue line. we are subsidizing further. we are committed to this this is a principle that no one will be denied access based on an ability to pay. we will give all the information to your offices and on your newsletters. we are proud of ourselves and judging by her proximity, finance has something to say. >> we thought -- i will give henry al gore is the town of credit.

in needed to back up a little bit. through the housing authority there have been fundamental partners for us. every housing authority residents in the city can access our summer camps and like that. >> other waste transportation can be provided if provided for programs? >> we have had some preliminary conversations with our friends from muni. we have the adequate vehicles and inadequate staff and they are certified to manage that function. i would be open to creative ways. having transportation is a key component. we have four quarterly events.

this summer we bring kids from our summer camps, that is the one day we do organize transportation where we bring our summer camps to the marina for the waterfront, rides and games. the only other point i want to plug which is related to the scholarship is jobs. i know you had a hearing on some on summer jobs this morning. we have a program which is an environmental educational program. in district 6, 10, and 11. we will have 35 kids, they get paid to do work and to go

through an environmental education program. that is all through partnerships that we're making some of that stuff happen. >> lastly, i want to say i have noticed a lot of good work around the parks close to my house. it is not related to where i live. it is a combination of rec and park staff and a lot of great volunteers around the parks. saturday i was at cossutter. there is this great work has been done. i just learned that a man who has been growing -- been dragging out weeds. the way that the rec and park department has been --

[inaudible] things just happened with volunteerism. that flexibility has been helpful in terms of wanting to be participants. i want to acknowledge that works. the rec and park is lacking in that. i want to recognize that. >> culturally we have this as an organization. will -- my staff understands. we understand the importance of building park champions and advocates. the way to do that is to make it easy for people to get involved and get their hands dirty. i want to credit my staff for that shift and credit the san francisco park alliance.

the park's truck has really done an incredible job to create opportunities. >> thank you. i would like to go back to me conversation. i believe if i am not mistaken their reporting the stadium will be built in 2014 which has some breaks, the leads that the niners have with candlestick and that expires in 2015. i would like to know how you began to consider the impact of the niners pulling out after 2015 and what exactly will that mean for our city, specifically

for our budget? >> thank you for the question. while there has been some short term. as we have these challenges. obviously we're going to have to and we will lead the city's help in -- when the lease expires in solving that challenge when the niners leave. they have been public that their new studio will be ready in 2014. should that happen that the department and the city would be made economically whole. that would have to be the point from which they start. those conversations has been proceeding with the niners understand that. probably the rec and park

commission and this board would see some of those discussions and agreements ensuring that in the event the city is ready that the city be made whole. we would bring that back to you. relatively soon. >> you say the term the city will be made whole, do you have any idea of a range of the exact number we're talking about? what is the economic impact? >> for the department it is a little bit of a difficult question to answer. depending on how much time you have. the niners, the net gain to the department has been somewhere in the range of one to -- $1 million to $3 million a year. there is additional tax revenue and there is additional and

tangible elements to the overall benefit that the niners bring. in these conversations that the mayor's office is leading, our focus has been on making sure that our department if it comes past that that will be for us. part of it depends on the expense side of the ledger, are we going to continue to operate the stadium or not? what happens to the staff? there are some factors that make the number difficult to quantify but we are working on it and close to having something that we would need to feel comfortable. that whole was going to be filled. >> when you plan to have as answered? >> the conversations have been going on, they have been good

and productive. there are a few remaining pieces that we're still working through. i would imagine within the next couple of months. supervisor chu: thank you you talk about what the goal was for year one and year two. taking a look at your budget solutions, is it an additive solution? the mayor's budget office has a certain level of budget requests they're asking you to make and year to which is supposed to be additive. have you met that goal and how soft or solid is year two's numbers? >> it is additive.

quex in terms of the solutions you put forth for the second year, are they solid solution spes? >> yes. things change. in year two they are added revenue, based on a relatively conservative of growth estimate of 2.5%. that one does not concern me. over time, we have revenue ideas and some pan out and some do not. that is life. when you see in this budget is some revenue corrections for things that have taken longer to implement or did not come to bear. we have been rather focused on avoiding additional cuts to programs or services. we're definitely heavy on the revenue side.

we budget very conservatively. >> in terms the budget and your staff, there is no mention about changes to staffing levels. >> i did mention next in response to supervisor kim was a question that you will see a park patrol in cam and so we can have the type of support that allows people in the field to work with and manage the business unit, the person to manage this unit. supervisor kim: i like the approach in terms of preserving recreation for individuals. in particular because there are a lot of different programs out there and they have been awesome programs that rec and park is offering your staff has been creative in coming with -- up

with. i think that is wonderful. and as we start to get there, certain programs are getting more expensive and it is the cost of role of providing services euille and for the department and megyn euille and us as whole as we can be very you have format for individuals depending on where their income levels are. is there any thought around and i am sure that your scholarship program is an oversubscribe to. is there any thought to how you might help folks who are down on their life now that it's just because some people who have cyclical situations where they might become on a flight or something that is not reflective necessarily of what they can demonstrate with their previous year's earnings. >> we're in the business of trying to provide healthy

recreational opportunities and provide some happiness and joy and the kids easier for families to live. as a philosophy, my staff knows not to -- it is not a bureaucratic exercise. i did not qualify or just missed qualifying for the eastern city peridot -- subsidy. there is a little bit of humanity and subject to the in our approach wherever possible to willett -- live within our means. i do think our results beat for themselves-speak for themselves. we have dramatically increased the amount of free and subsidized programming we have offered in the last three years. we're not looking to curtail or

calf that growth predicted where going to do it-cap that growth. we're going to do it if the member qualifies. supervisor avalos>> revenue is s last year. i know that was a challenging debate. that $260,000 of revenue that was generated is significant. we received it. it is-if attendance is trending upward. supervisor avalos: can i get a summary of that attendance and revenue for the past two years? that would be great. >> sure. supervisor avalos: leases in

clubhouses, i would like to get a sense of revenue that is coming from the clubhouses as well. i am not sure if it is possible, of copy of the leases for the clubhouses. clubhouses in the city. how much we're leasing for times in our clubhouses. >> it is worth 40 at that our approach in working with partners in our clubhouse is because we have had-we are 150 -- we are 150 fte's fewer. supervisor avalos: i am not questioning [inaudible]

i am trying to get assets. >> by way of background and context, our partners, almost all of whom are nonprofit, have been able to add an extra-the #is 70,000 hours -- add an extra 70,000 hours. we do not look at our partnerships as revenue generators. we charge a fair market value for has determined by the department of real estate. supervisor avalos: the question is -- >> we have staff. [inaudible] supervisor avalos: do we have

an overarching policy about access to sites or under -- is that under the control of the lessee who has access? >> it is on a case by case basis. risqué particulate it in each individual lease and it depends on departure -- partner and the nature of this day we tried to offe-- the stakes. i and others that is less possible. either because of the nature of the program for the site. it is a bland. supervisor avalos: do we have any site where the clubhouse, there is adjacent tennis courts where the clubhouse has responsibility? ? the park and playground and tennis courts are always successful.

-- accessible. they -- we have been in the child-care business for years. we have had preschools operating in our facilities for half a century. there are certain requirements that were squiredom all little bit of that acquitted outdoor space. -- that require a little bit of outdoor space. the playgrounds and force themselves are public. -- courts themselves are public periodc. supervisor avalos: that would be great to get. i would appreciate that. lastly, i walk through there and i am seeing a great more people who are walking. the stock folks and hikers.

and it is a dangerous place. i am happy i have not heard of anyone getting hit but there is a lot of close calls and there has been talk about putting a crosswalk and i am wondering where things are at in the capital plan in terms of doing that. it is a real need. it could be an ada is to -- issue as well. >> we agree. just for access. the area has no sidewalks. this has been talked about and there are a couple of different approaches but we would appreciate your help bonds. obviously, there is a street on that past. paychex this is not in the street o.

>> we have been invited to submit some thoughts lots of were the project -- worthy projects but that is one we have our focus on. also we're in an ongoing planning conversation. altman lee, the community will decide on the dollars -- ultimately, of that community will decide on the dollars that are allocated. we will work on -- with them where we have really urgent pedestrian safety issues and this may be one of them. we can collaborate to come up with a solution. supervisor avalos: that sounds great. if you want to contact our office, that is critical need.
