neighborhood and we focus on a few key areas, i will reference in a moment these are the existing boundaries i will show you them amendment tarly we have 172 acres i thought i would start by just highlighting some of the results we have had since we have been in existence for the last seven years, i'm not going to read these to you, basically, we have a clean team community guys and sfpd bike patrol focused in our neighborhood seven days a week, 365 days a year some remove graffiti tags within 24 hours when they're reported. we have provided steam cleaning and scrubbing, on top of the schedule we have maintained in

the neighborhood, and 65 incidences of -- we created a mobile app ybcd exist you can report information in the neighborhood, and track the results in the neighborhood. the next slide is around street skaep improvements, back in 2010, we created yerba buena street life plan it's a ten year plan that outlines, improves streets in the neighborhood some of them we created, are cuss custom designed they are -- in the culture of the neighborhood -- we work with the explore tore yum, to install the first in the zone. we have a mraz ta test project, a pedestrian plaza for people to come to welcome

neighbors to meet peers, etc. for marketing and branding, for creating [inaudible] if you will yerba buena is a new neighborhood in san francisco didn't have much of and i denty, we created and i denty a brand for this neighborhood, we continue through the website map, and street subjects -- to ensure the central stop is going to be called jesh jesh and the stony station. we created the city's only free outdoor festival for art music dance and performance, this is our 5th year every year in october. we also created the community benefit fund, which is the grant program, we wanted to work with organizations to inspire them to continue to do our work to improve the neighborhood. so over the last seven years, we have granted $840,000, through

98 grants to neighborhood nonprofits to improve the neighborhood that has impacted more than 230 workers, visitors and students in the neighborhood. we're also very involved in the community, we participate or take a leadership roles, in a variety of initiatives, some of them are here we were at the stony project we were there for the ground breaking this morning, advisory street etc. why do we want to renew? there say variety of ree sons first of all [inaudible] talked about us doing a variety of work. it has changed since 2008 more 5,000 people moved into the neighborhood that call yerba buena their home we have thousands more coming into the neighborhood each day, with

moma, and the escona center -- making the need for services, that much greater we also have support as cusia mentioned for support of these activities she mentioned outroom, if you add the numbers we have done 72 public meetings to hear from the neighborhood. we did an online survey to hear from folks. we also do a door to door campaign, where we go out and walk the neighborhood and meet with store front businesses, etc. to talk about what their needs are, and targeted mailings, to all property owns in the neighborhood to get their feedback. this map looks exactly like the old map. these are our new boundaries, the minor changes, are we absorbed a small parcel and 5th and full some that is part of the apartments. masso,

and including parry street, one block south of harrison on the in the district, and said good buy to 5th and mention they're joining the central market cbd, so they have been removed. the others have been added. we also mentioned our budget -- >> can i ask a question about that? >> yes yes yes. >> quickly has there been a conversation had with the intersection with the arts and whether or not they prefer yerba buena versus the central district. >> it's been on the board of directors, we have had conversations, with them and the hurst koorp raegs as well. >> we know this will be voted on a later time the proposal is to remove them from the boundaries.

>> that's their recommendation to us. that's what they asked for, so that's what we agreed to. >> all right. thanks. >> the budget is 3.1, you can see here how the money will be spent. current budget we spend 15% for administration, and we project 13%, and more is going to 16 street skaep improvements (73%). for those activities we didn't assume people wanted the status quo, so we asked the questions, three things came out clear and we added them to the list of services, one is a double band on cleaning we expanded our clean team for folks, the other is pedestrian

safety traffic enforcement we heard it loud and clear, we have set aside money to develop initiatives to deal with traffic enforcement issues shg and we started conversations with sfmta on that topic. the last thing is can you speed up the street skaep improvement projects so we added to the budget to go towards those budgets which i referenced earlier. those are on top of our continuing services which you also have in your packet, none of those things will be changing, we will continue with the grants program, the cleaning, and the buttification programs we're doing. we take great pride in making sure we have the entire neighborhood represented in our board and steering committee if you know yerba buena you know it's a diverse neighborhood with all different kinds of institutions, so we make sure we have
