recreation and park >> this is an amendment to the at least for the park side bicycle rental for all of our parks in san francisco for a little bit of background park wide has been operating in a number of our park. currently golden gate park and the plazas a. it offers, you know, we think not only an amenity to city visitor who are looking for an additional mode of transportations but might not own their own bicycle. we've seen steady growth in each of those locations with the expectation that tuesdays through thursdays are a little bit slow and the location on
1:05 pm
golden gate park has been redundant to the golden gate park activities. under separate permits we gunning began locating bicycle at the eastern entrance of the golden gate park we found it to be very successful we are be looking for a way to positively activate that space. the pilot program lasted two months in denomination but received omittance support from law enforcement and other merry shall not in the community. the proposed leased amendment
1:06 pm
would add a location at ocean beach and a location at the end of 8th street. and working with the supervisors office we have outreach to the local merchant groups and we have a compromise. we originally proposed that the lake location would be operable 7 days a week but we found if we were out there 5 days a week then the tuesday, wednesday days it would not effect others businesses. we are proposing some slight modifications to the hours of operations. and then for the ocean beach location it would be operational june through september 4th p.m.
1:07 pm
on saturday and sunday and then we would have less hours for discretion when the whether or not is inclement. there's not a tremendous financial benefit to the amendment. this amendment we've been look forward the park users and but we would see some modest revenue increases over the remaining years of the is lease ranging from $21,000 to $35,000. throughout this process beginning in 2345079 for this opportunity all the way through
1:08 pm
the last few weeks we've received significant support and because supervisors staff mentioned there were some concerns from the merchants but we've address those >> thank you supervisor. >> yes. i was going to thank others from rec and park for working with the merchants. i know that some changes in golden gate park have carved some things in the district that have been in district one but all of us some be stewards of the parks and be sure to we're in line with the project. also the golden gate park and neighborhoods around it that has crime and i appreciate the rec
1:09 pm
and park looking at the park wide site and it should be helpful and the neighbors are supportive of that. and there be more activity around the soccer fields but i'm looking forward to riding one of the rental bikes it should be an amazing ride but thanks to the rec and park department. >> thank you any other questions? so our budget analyst report >> mr. chairman on summarizing basis rent would be 5 hundred
1:10 pm
and 78 thousand 6 hundred and 5 which is over the remaining term which is up. and percent rent would be determined in the same manner as the existing lease. we point out on page 89 the 6 month trial period for the other locations including the proposed lease amendment would not require board of supervisors approval only the approval subject to the 6 month period by the rtd wreaking manager. we ask you to amend the proposed amendment to the term evaluation period and replace it would with the trial period of one year. if the board of supervisors
1:11 pm
wishes to authorize all the bike rentals at the city site location then it should be also stated that the management has the approval to have a six months proposal and this board of supervisors would have the final recollection and we ask you amend the proposal has amended >> any questions? i have a number of speaker card i'll call your name out.

1:12 pm

1:14 pm
peter ash and joel robinson and i can't remember the name of the director. we had several meetings that golden gate park was not going to take our businesses and we could keep our bicycle businesses on the outside of the park. then at some point mayor lee and this large conglomerate of bicycle shops decided to form a bicycle for the parks. and they took overall the bicycles shops. within weeks you opened directly a block directly across the street from me and i think it's i shameful of golden gate park, mayor lee to be bullying private

deal with a solution we could be happy with. initially bicycle rentals came to the association with a certain that the proposal was to have park wide operate at the lake and entrance to the golden gate park 8 days a week he felt this would put his business at risk so the merchants wrote me a letter and ask the city not to do that to endanger his business. we were able to come up with a compromise with rob bicycle rentals said he was supportive of so the merchants association board has now agreed to support
1:17 pm
