boeddeker, safe passage is about a community effort to build a culture of safety in the tenderloin and we have done that by identifying routes in the neighborhoods where we have volunteers posted to make sure kids are getting through there safely. we are going to be based out of boeddeker, we'll have two staff there and we'll have everyday volunteers check in before they go to their post. there will be 25-50 volunteers everyday and training throughout the year on personal safety. those are the services we are going to be offering at boeddeker. we are so excited about the opportunities at boeddeker because it's a safe place to start this collaborative approach in the tenderloin and that's how we are going to change the neighborhood through a community effort.

we love the police department but we can't reline on them because it's not a sustainable model and we are just excited about the collaborative spirit coming together around this new opening of the park. it's really is an a game changer for the neighborhood. i wanted to express my support to you all and to the recreation and parks and to all the stakeholders that have come to the table to make this day possible. so i'm really looking forward to it. >> hi. very briefly saint frances memorial hospital sits around the tenderloin and we carry the biggest version in this neighborhood. we do about a million dollars in

care in the neighborhoods and that's cash out of pocket hard cost. in light of that, we began a project called the tenderloin health improvement partnership and sparing you a bunch of boring details, we identified one of our health zones which we are focusing time and pension on in the area around boeddeker. in large measure because it has been online and it's a safe place. we think it's a key game changer and in changing the health dynamic of this neighborhood. the health care is only 20 percent of anybody's total health picture, the others include activities and safety and better foods and nutrition and that sort of stuff. we think this project is key to that end. and up lifted and safe boeddeker

park will have a ripple effect to create a culture of safety and health moving concentrically out. hence our investment just to let you know, the saint frances foundation is supporting this work to the tune of about $400,000, to the boys and girls club for a quarter of a million and we have been in discussions with the police department and others to ensure that safety was locked into this thing and we made a commitment to the police department to supplement any outside of budget cost in order to do more in boeddeker to the tune of $50,000 if they have over time expenses that are not in their budget. i just wanted you to know that you have a community partner who is willing to throw in a lot of money and expertise to work with you. and working with

joe and jeff and sarah ballard, we couldn't have asked for a better partnership. we could not be happier to make this investment. thanks very much. >> good afternoon commission. i just want to public a face to the public safety component that tenderloin police department is committed to securing safety in the park. outside of the programming that we support we have the foundation of bedrock of the safety component of building that culture of safety. it's going to assign a tenderloin station with two officers in the park and they

are not going to be security officers. they are going to be engaged with the master tenants and the programmers and they are going to be part of the activation. this is one of the concerns of the community and they will be successful to the people in the community. you only need to come to me and talk to me about what you would like to see in the park. this is a work in progress. i would also like to say, there will be challenges in the park and my hope is that as it's moving forward that we continue to talk about some of the things we are going to need in the park and keep that dialogue open. so with that, i will close and thank you for your time. >> jennifer? >> >> i'm getting choked up at

this moment. all the items before and this one. the trust and public land has been partnering with you on this project for about eight 8 years now. since 2006 i have been staying awake at night losing sleep and feel like after all of these testimonies it gives us a good sense. it's always been a complex project, a beginnings -- combination of design solutions and we have worked side by side the park in this community. in a couple years of community design meetings, we made those big design moves for success. the community want think of boeddeker to be a success. we took down the fences that people

called it a prison park. there is still a fence but wide open spaces to the side and we shifted the entrance. that was an idea that came from a teenager that he wanted people to make sure he can be seen in the park and there's one where the director can see in the park and there is in and out flow of program and activity and life. i love the term community clubhouse partners. this is a great culmination for this effort and all of the hard work. actually documenting this and in an on going program. this is an incredible model for recreation and park and public private partnership to take it not all the way from the funding end but to the day it opens and a

community that's going to make this park thrive. there are such incredible senior and children activities center that are located centrally so they can see those. the carriers are at the edges, that green lawn area, we purposely made it so boeddeker would seem line an oasisch that neighborhood and i'm just confident that it will be and the people before me have proven that through the leadership of this department. this is a great culmination, not just an $8 million project but a partnership that raised over $16.5 million. thank you very much for your support and i can't wait for you to come to the opening. >> is there anyone else who would like to make public comment on

this item ? >> c'mon up. >> my name is andrew dayton from the city administrators office and i want to comment that the city administrator has and continues to be making a success of boeddeker park and working with sarah and jeff to use the influence and 2005 side of d partly dpw and ocia to provide a successful open and continued run for boeddeker park and we are in communication with private partners to ensure the park opens up in december and continue for years to come.

>> would anyone else like to speak? >> i have been working for eight 8 years and helping to convene the weekly meetings and coordinate the partners around the park. i just want to say it's very humbling because to do this type of work is easier said than done and to talk about collective impact on so many levels and so many different voices chiming in from the highest level of decision making to the community partners, just a wide continuum. so everybody had to give up something, everyone had to find common ground and again with that thought, just really being thankful to everybody who has been part

of this and we are ready to transition to the next stage of engagement in terms of acting committee and working group. when the times gets rough and there will be challenges that come up, to remember the relationship and none of it's can do this a lope and that -- alone and that we have come so far and i want to express my appreciation especially through tenderloin health improvement plan because i think everybody has done such a role in trust and public land and especially with the tl hip, there has been kind of wind beneath the wings to help with this collective impact and greater changes happening through the central market area. >> is there any other public comment? >> okay. seeing none, public comment is closed.

>> mr. ginsberg? >> thank you, mr. president. you are fond of saying victory has many parents and i'm here to thank our parents. this is really a proud moment and we are going to celebrate at the ribbon cutting and i know we are going to celebrate at the ribbon cutting. in my time i have not known of another project that has had so many partners come together on the capital and public side. from the public sector to the private sector and i'm sure i'm going to omit a contributor to this because there are so many. i really do want to start with january and the trust for public land, her emotion, i understand it. this is a park where people campaigned and with boeddeker park it has a challenge and to not just build a park, but we built it with

this community. everybody has already very articulately expressed by this program is so transformational. to pull off the kind of activation and to ensure the public safety, i want to really thank rob conoley and the boys and girls club and to all the staff who participated in this slog of meetings and i mean slog. i really want to thank the saint frances foundation, for all of your determination for bringing about a really positive outcome, safe passages, i want to give a shout out to matt from the san francisco parks alliance when we were trying to figure out how to make it work and parks alliance came and said they wanted to help and they gave a

$25,000 grant to help with safety issues. just found the money and wanted to be a part of the conversation. so many city agencies participated in this. i want to start by thanking chief is sur and kelly the administrator and i want to thank captain churns for understanding why we need the extra eyes and set of tone to transform things, the city administrators office, the department of public works and mta is a player on this and bill for your personal involvement on behalf of the city administrator, thank you. i feel like this is an academy award speech. i would be really remiss if i did not thank the recreation and parks staff. i want to thank don and the capital

team. this is a partnership and this requires a tremendous amount of work on our capital and planning staff part on putting together the police, gina and jeff, jeff has at so many of these meetings and he's become very passionate as you can discern from his presentation. danny and bob lottie, thank you for helping us tackle some of the public safety challenges and sarah ballard in the public affairs team. sarah also was trying to corral cats, i think is the expression here because so many people wanted the right thing to happen here. if i have omitted anybody, i'm really sorry. ptl itself has brought many people to the table. i'm really looking forward to celebrate with everybody on december 10th.

>> thank you, commissioner low? >> i just want to say what a transformation this is. many of you old schoolers remember what this used to be. this used to be near the scary bowl which was really scary and it was an awful place. my last memory was running out of the park out of fear for my life. they didn't want us there and they didn't like the way we played basketball. this is a great transformation, the different agencies, the city, the department, a great combination, the boys and girls club, central wide, the safe passages and it's great to see the energy and commitment transformed to this little patch of greenery in a very dense neighborhood. i want to say this is a

model that shouldn't stop here. we should do it in district 3 and 6 and 10 and i will let my colleague commissioner bonilla make approval. >> commissioner bonilla? >> after my comment i will do that. i am absolutely overwhelmed with all aspects of this project. the level of programming. all the different layers of safety which i never even imagined could be put in place, the design and the collaboration. i think truly unprecedented and i totally agree with commissioner low that this should serve as a template for all the future projects that we do, and i

lament that we didn't have this an a model to begin with when we started doing all our parks and club houses and so on. i just want to express my whole hearted thanks for this park that is a very truly under served community. >> i this i the secretary is going to tell us what item we are moving on. before that, let me make some comments as well. i was trying to think if there was a proper analogy

here and i can't find one because there was such a great number of people involved and the complex it is. it's a model that stood out when new york was trying to work on central park if you put people in them, that itself will go a long way. i have never seen people use their best minds and experience to try to in enact this park and design it. i hope these people will be involved in the next few years and that will be the true test to see if we can't make this happen. nobody hopes it

happens more than i do and i would count myself among those and all who did so much. with that, what are we voting on madam clerk? >> you are going to vote on the item 8, hours of operation and you will be approving those hours. >> motion to adopt the resolution to approving those hours. >> is there a second. >> all in favor say, "aye". >> aye. >> any opposed? . so moved. next item. >> item 9 approval of the lease agreement into authorized general manager recreation and parks to prepare and approve the lease agreement consistent with it. >> moved and second. all in favor say, "aye". >> aye. >> any opposed? so moved and thank you all for making this happen. [ applause ]

>> we are now on item 10, the park maintenance standards annual report. this is a presentation only. >> good morning, my name is steve rock well and i run the day-to-day evaluation program. i'm here with sarah phillips from the

controllers office and she's going to start us off on the annual report. you can use that mic if it's easier. >> good morning commissioners, i'm clara phillips with the controllers office and i'm here to present -- >> i need you to speak into the microphone. >> on the fiscal year annual 2013-2014. after 2 years, the citywide average increased by.4 percent. last year in the fiscal year 2012, scores with 1.19 percent and this year 13-14, increased to 9.7 percent. this increase was

first since fiscal year 10-11 when increased by one 1 percent. in general we consider a score above 85 percent indicates a park is in good condition and well maintained. this shows the ratings to day you will see this dates all the way back to fiscal year 5-6 and looking at this current fiscal year 14, you will sea -- see it is well above that 85 percent that shows parks are in good condition and well maintained. this year and the past several years have been above 90 percent as you can see and since the beginning of the middle red line is 85 percent and those parks are well above the 85 percent range.

quarterly 2014, it's higher during that fiscal year, a little bit different from the previous fleer. quarter 3 was a bit higher. this shows the high, medium and low score distribution. you see the hundred parks this year compared to 105 parks in the previous fiscal year and fiscal year 12-13 are scoring above 90 percent. more parks, however are in that 80-90 percent medium range. it's arranged from 49 parks in fiscal year 2014 in parks fiscal year 13-14 and they are closer to that 90 percent threshold. for parks for 90 percent decreased to 100, they are

closer to 90, 87, 88, 89 percent. i want to note that the parks that are scoring below that 80 percent that there have been seven parks that you can see for the past few years, although those parks have been pretty steady, they are not the same parks that have changed. it's not always the same seven that are scoring below 80 percent. this shows the average by district. this is the map that shows the higher scoring in the darker blue and the lighter scoring areas in the darker blue and district 11 was the lowest scoring district at 85.1 percent. all districts scored above 85 percent tlesh hreshold and

the next slide will show the differences between the high and low scoring districts. this year in 13-14 th district 2 was the highest and they had 94.6 percent which was slightly higher than the previous year with district 1.1 percent. you see the highest score went up a bit whiches the lowest district score which dropped from 88 percent down to 85. there is greater spread between the highest scoring district to the lowest district. in 12-15 there was a highest spread and between the highest and lowest scoring district is 9 1/2 percent which is closer to fiscal year 11-12. with that, we'll get into a little bit more on the

specific parks that scored in that high and low range. with that i will hand it back to steve. >> thank you. >> they go from richmond to the bay to the north the playground district 11. the other one really shows how well the cap innovation is working for this city. parks have been renovated in the last couple of years. we have taken outmoded designs and replaced with features that are more appropriate to set who is actually using this park as a result

which we have less high maintenance to do >> from the top to bottom, these are some major organizations. paying attention to these sites and one of the strategies that we are bringing in more resources to the board, our recent new hiring of five mu can an can ustodians. now it's going to be all day long at the parks where these people are going. we are soon going to be having a manager vacancy.

one of these parks is slated for renovation. finally two of these parks are unusual properties. they are the two park ways in our system. they have a typical use and typical needs in terms of maintenance. they take a new, the department brings to bear a new way of looking at them. we have completed finally the four 4 miles of edging along lower grade highway to make that once more available to our users. so we are getting there and we are putting our eye on these properties. this shows the parks that are scoring

very high in the dark and parks that are scoring less. there is a percent between all the parks on the top and low end. all parks service areas are scoring about that 85 percent threshold which represents good maintenance. this is a little bit more detail on it. you will see the most of the psa's have had a minor fluctuation which has gone down a little bit. we have asked the controllers office to give us a little bit of guidance as to how much fluctuation represents the actual change that is subject -- substantial. the biggest drop is golden gate park and that biggest drop is changed since we changed the evaluation and we divided the
