9:30 am
i did not we want police officers dealing with tickets and stuff so to me those seem like the big gaps we've created over time in terms of lack of gardeners and patrol officers i'd like to see that reversed >> thank you for the great presentation. i want to say i appreciate our framing in terms of the cities overall deficit and how you over the past 5 years cut 25.5 million over the last 5 years and also how you increased
9:31 am
through the real estate staff i know that was a lot of different revenue you negotiated with them and it was really well done. i also want to say that from economical impact reports that the events bring in hotel users and restaurants and a tremendous economic benefit and yet the rec and parks department don't get a lot of consider. i want to commit about my colleagues compliment and also making sure that the maintenance and maintaining accessibility
9:32 am
and the ones that are lower grade especially in neighborhoods that need them the most in immigrant children throughout the city. as i other look at the budget with my residents i look at longer time to increase the senior centers to make sure that the swimming pool is rebuilt we're going to have enough hours for the people to use the pools and we rebuild them. my hope is you're looking at kwiblt but i'm just wondering about our comments >> one of our most important
9:33 am
focus in our department of public health department in 4 years we've increased the scholarship program now we're well over 8 thousand in four years. that's the money we subsidize as a department we work very closely with the housing authority and they all participate in our program for free there is no charge. the number of people that have become eligible or we sign up to our scholarship program has
9:34 am
grown significantly. and because of our revenue growth we're actually able to make this groebt especially in transportation. one of the biggest things we have is our ability to move children there to the lake merced and paddle boats and so forth but if we can't get our children there then it in make a difference. we have some pilot you funding we can work with partners to make sure we're getting our kids to the programs. our bond choices that we're
9:35 am
community driven there's a significant amount of revenue in district 10 and projects in district 5. a couple of projects in district 6. we're working hard to make sure our investments are equitable. the two district where the scores improved the most were districts 10 and 11. so we have a long way to go it's no question but it's a staff focus to make sure we're providing programs and services in the community that noted it the most. our recreational program loud us
9:36 am
to build a rock climbing wall. we're able to bring bikes and skateboards and the other things to our community >> you want to say on the budget solutions i appreciate the breakdown. i had no idea those fees were going so much. and i'll have to work much harder next year for our sports. >> it probably cost us another home game and money it was very painful. >> your budget recess
9:37 am
transitions seem reasonable. supervisor. >> supervisor. we can do that. so i missed the presentation i'm sorry. i will review it. i want to check in with you. thank you for your work in the city. a few years back they allowed us directors the plan important rec directors what's the plan for them? i can they provided essential services in our neighborhoods we know about the rec center and
9:38 am
we'll seen the work what are the other facilities that we're growing? for the context it was motivated by the context and the staff came up with the facility that eliminated a few core staff. it's a model h that has been successful even though we're still understaffed. we've seen participants going up. this budget is the - the way that the recreation model was designed it was unfortunately designed with the budget reality itself it was scaleable and
9:39 am
flexible. frankly we do generate revenue we have 2 thousand people in our camps that are ref scholarships but there are a lot of folks who are in the camps paying. >> we have a clubhouse that's going to be opening up later this year. >> well, let me finish your question. we have been able to start to chip away by strategies we have and we're investing nor money in programs and recreational staff. i think our programs we're delivering rile high programs
9:40 am
our feedback it really good and based on 90 percent of survey responders say they like argue programs and recommend them. we do begin and work very close that the mayor's office and appreciate the mayors willingness to help out. >> and when does the clubhouse come back? i think we've been working pretty closely with the organizations we're going to staff it ourselves until we can work with the community to decide what kind of partner we want in this facility. and obviously if we had the fund
9:41 am
we'll be open all the time >> do we have the minute i - do we have support from the city for retooling or replacing turf? >> our turf has some of the synthetic turf has a replacement of every 10 years. a turf replacements program is in our our budget. the level of commitment is unclear. the city has invested about
9:42 am
$25,000 but unfortunately, because of the process the program has taken longer and cost morning it was anticipated. i think we're going to need to think about opportunities whether it's - >> so the city fields foundation is not thinking about replacing turf there will be some deferred maintenance we'll have to do. >> and it will depends on the resources we have. this program this phase of the program an actual completed. we have of plenty of conviction - communications about it.
9:43 am
>> okay. great. and then i'm next week we'll be back with our hearing around the gardnering program i'll be looking at to that and a colleagues any questions you have in that you do you want to hear the highlights? >> i think we're good. i think we hit auto the high points. supervisor any questions? >> thank you just had a couple i know this is a budget hearing and having the opportunity to hear this. we we were always trying to
9:44 am
figure out ways to generate more revenue for the parks. we know there has been a loss over the years and as a city we're going to have to figure out more creativity ways. it's about that a challenge after becoming supervisor just the challenges we had too fast in the western community and particular. i want to make sure that i scotland a couple of questions how this impacts the budget because some of those issues i want a clear idea specifically before events like the event that are organic are those cost like the playoffs was an
9:45 am
unanticipated revenue of 1 noildz are we incurring expenses like that. i'm hoping you can gives an understanding of the past fiscal year and the year before that if there are those kinds of expenses. i'm happy to come back with those specific numbers unfortunately, we don't get a lot of 120s but the answer is we absorb those costs. so when we spend time cleaning up after other people's bad
9:46 am
behavior it takes away from our budget. and, you know, someone actually said to me, you should have left the trash there a little bit longer to let them know about the impact. and this by a behave is graffiti and litter. we could do some much more if we didn't have to pick up. i have costs of the graffiti and other costs for picking up after folks.
9:47 am
picking up cigarettes butts and stuff >> are the practical responsible for patrolling. >> smoking policies are difficult to enforce. there were about 60 citations that were given out. but this is not, you know, enforced the ban is tough. maybe two park officers on patrol on one time, however, we'll do spot codes and we'll
9:48 am
ask people inform comply that can range from dog use where dangerous are not supposed to be off leashes. we have limited sources. >> and i mentioned the children of housing authority. is there a better way i know that people are signing up on lines and one of the biggest challenges that i know that many of the families in public housing has is the access for the ability to do that is once that enrollment is opened up i'm hoping it has been a little bit of an deterrent.
9:49 am
i was wondering this is not necessarily a budget matter but could there a be better way to make sure that folks have access to the programs. >> sure just so the public is aware we do have online registration and we do all those at our rec centers and with respect to the housing authority in particular i had the privilege of attending the wreaking parks i think two saturdays ago and our staff is more than willing to come to resident council meetings or any public housing authority site and help people with registration. we realize is outreach is particularly important in some
9:50 am
communities to get some people enrolled in our programs. while resource constraints are certain >> also, if you have a breakdown of zip codes as to whether or not fees have been paid i'm not sure you have those racial breaks down but i'd like to know whose parking lot in my district so that would be really helpful. now i wanted to ask the amount of money that you receive that annual from candle stick annual?
9:51 am
in any particular year there's probably we're about 4, four and a half in expenses. so in a typical year there's probably a net revenue gain of somewhere between one and 2 million. there's rent credits at candle stick but we have not gained imply revenue because we give it back if credits. there's extra attention in parking and revenue from concession at the stick. so our numbers have improved but sadly that revenue sources is short lived >> so when you talk about things over the course of i
9:52 am
guess the past fiscal year there's $2 million that has potentially been cut from the budget that take into consideration the small increase in revenue from candle stick? >> no, the number i give us was from resources subsidies. we have 3 prim sources we have our general fund revenue and earned revenues and we have offset our lower resources by a variety of sources >> so just better understanding that budget presentation would be helpful. and then the last question i
9:53 am
have is regarding groups like the seahawks who expressed certain about their ability to assess kimble and hampton play grournd. i'm just wondering if some of the parks that one park has partnered with city fields is a non-profit; right? . do they manage kimble? >> no kimble has become a importantly sports field. we're in close communications with the seahawks but in all of our fields part of the, you
9:54 am
know, that's a mix of permanent play and open play. one of the issues we just want to show up we want our catcher to come and through a ball around. the seahawks would not be utilizess open field so the sea headquarters wouldn't be charged to use - i'm sorry to use kimble >> or hampton? we have programs for which individuals kids could sign up and if their eligible for scholarships they come for free speech >> the sea hawk cheerleaders
9:55 am
have been coming but now they don't feel their welcome anywhere there's new staff. a lot of the rec directors who are familiar with the community where no longer there. i'm just trying to understand are we basically pitting revenue before the community? before those programs and i want to see in the budget how this works and how we're continuing
9:56 am
>> is really an important one and if other permitted events can look at that same principle. of leaving no trace or leaving
9:57 am
the park less than you leave it. it's going to be difficult because it's so inform and an unplanned kind of event but i hope we look to find out who the main coordinators of those parks are. so i said to appreciate our staff and your effort to make sure the park is brought back to a place that's used by everyone >> thank you supervisor. colleagues any questions. i would say as a former player of the seahawks it was a dump then
9:58 am
>> i'd like to open it up to the public comment any comment on item 2? okay seeing none public comment is closed. >> mr. clerk can i please call item 3. >> hearing hear the updated information on 2014 and 2015. >> okay. we have maria sue from d c y f. >> good afternoon i'm maria. joined now by my colleague.
9:59 am
