>> i'm trial to bring this before you colleagues this item is a resolution of intent to form the city's first green effort in the dog patch and the northwest potrero hill i've been working with pertains and on this creative solution to fund open space improvements and to maintain in the growing eastern neighborhoods a few years ago this board unanimously approved the legislation i authorized that codified the ability for neighborhood to form the districts for open space improvements and maintenance we've coined the frays green benefit district so this legislation is built off the benefit and expand the types of properties that participate as well as what the fund can be used for

the first time residential and commercial property owners will begin participating in an assessment district and the funds will be used to maintain and improve the public realm and open spaces in those particular areas both supervisor kim and i have discussed the challenges in the funding and more importantly prioritizing new infrastructure improvements in eastern neighborhood neighborhoods and the green district is one of the creative strategies to help fund the maintenance of our public realm and parks as supervisors we all know advertised not about building and creating open space in other words, for parks and open spaces to remain healthy and vibrate must be made if we want to have a positive impact on our neighborhoods they much, of course westbound adequately

maintenance to supervisor kim and others in the benefit district and you may not know in district 10 we don't have any we haven't organized any that's why today is a special day to moved on the green benefit to improve and have the benefits of open spaces maintenance. >> i would like to recognize we've got a shorted presentation from dph brother we go to the presentation supervisor wiener and supervisor jane kim have a few remarks. >> thank you, madam chair i want to congratulate you on our district and i when i first heard about the idea of the green district i was interested and excited about the concept is a wonderful opportunity for the community to you pull together and create this kind of structure to improve the neighborhoods so this is a

terrific thing i'm glad this is moving forward and hope it is a model for other parts of city. >> thank you, supervisor kim. >> well. okay. supervisor wiener i appreciate that but it is a team effort i'm not the one that brought the goal to the lion we are going to hear from the dph and an overview of the resolution of intent and specifics of the dog patch potrero hill gp d mohammed nuru. >> good afternoon, supervisors and supervisor cohen and supervisor kim and supervisor wiener thank you foyer allowing us to come and present to you not only the city's benefit district but the nation's first green district as many of you know what the districts do the green suffers so this is specifically around green with mostly with the parks and some

of the open spaces in the neighborhoods joined with me some of the neighbors mr. john goldberg will be giving a presentation and others i see many of the neighbors that are here supervisor cohen before i begin the presentation i want to thank you for your leadership in getting us to this step it is very, very important step as was move forward to the information of the dog patch and the northwest potrero hill district what is the green benefit district it is really the financing and mechanism to raise the capital for a long time maintenance for the open spaces in the neighborhoods and district sir a little bit of history this idea started in the early 2000s and a lot of discussion around it

and the decision was healthy because of all the addition of thousand of housing units coming into the way that the residents can get behind the idea the idea is to raise funds to pay for maintenance of existing community managed green spaces parks and open spaces green benefit district permission process for this particular one started in 2012 with the formation of a committee and hiring a build public organization as a consulate to help carry the neighbors through this. >> similar to other benefit districts the community benefit districts the change that supervisor cohen spoke that

changes to article 15 a has allowed for the formation of the district itself it is the first of its kind other types of maintenance programs that are around the country landscape maintenance district those exist all over many cities around california and those funds mainly used or controlled by city government in this particular formation the nonprofit will decide what improvements are needed and how those improvements should happen the green benefit assessment district funds be can't be dictate by the city or how the city wants them to be used by but the community group they're not subject to the the ups and downs the economy it is very,

very healthy program because the dollars can be used to exactly with the property owners in the district choose to put those dollars green benefit district some of the things they can do they can provide for ongoing maintenance the public landscape, of course, the parks and plaza and the amenities such the tree maintenance and planting such as repaying irrigation systems and help with removal of the graffiti abatement in the district trash and clean up and, of course ongoing maintenance of the park. >> local government transparency and accountabilities to how those few minutes are collected some examples having a

management of green benefit districts finances and contracts to be set up neighborhoods or the districts can choose a certain strategy for marketing to allow the green benefit district to achieve it's potential pr and they can also premise a website they can also do a design build and they can actively have a strategic plan as part of what the neighborhood is doing so people involved have a good idea of what should happen monies can be used for long-term capital improvements such as building new playgrounds, building or installing beverages dog runs way finding signs and paving

some areas, development of parks and even new technologies like rain garden and potential and paths to infrastructure so as you can see there this green benefit district i'm really excited it focuses on a lot of those types of in advance that need the extra help or extra hand that people usually didn't get to those neighborhoods they believe in their community and put forth this district and you'll hear a little bit about more about the district those this benefit district doesn't not replace what the city has to do but actually have to do more above what the city offers so the city services continues that's the based on and above the baseline is the benefit district will do

it also impoverishes the pertains to get involved in the community and the neighborhood and the benefit district serves as a way to allows the communities to be identified as one that is doing its own improvements and that in and of itself helps to build community the by the people district also has information of nonprofit allows it to loefrj both the public and private investments and funding to allow it to grow so i'm excited about the green benefit district i think we'll see a much healthier potrero hill and dog patch neighborhood because of the investment made by the property owners with that said i'm going to ask john to come up and talk about the formation process and more benefits of what this benefit

district will do for the neighborhood. >> thank you >> thank you, director nuru are you. >> madam chair and supervisor wiener and supervisor jane kim i'm jonathan goldberg the project manager for the green benefit program so the g b d forms process pretty much mirrors to a t d t b d process a forms feasibility analysis when an organized group of neighbors or individuals come together and process to assess the support among property owners to determine whether or not the formation campaign will be successful undertaken the

supervisor support is critical formation committee hires a consultant team to prepare the proof engineers report and management plan and service plan boundary maps and service plans and budgets and assessment methodologies are all created during this phase one phase two which is the district forms and legislation where the managing report is reviewed by the city attorney and is formal petition to initiate the special district formation is undertaken property owners after successfully reaching their petition threshold and the board of supervisors allows the district to initiate the formation proceedings there's a property owner vote through a

ballot process this is a votes on the services and the plan activities for the assessment district the third phase the district establishment norwalk the services agreement with the city and county of san francisco the establishment of a nonprofit that will be representative of the parcel owners nonprofit organization and it will be set up to accept funds once property tax bills are mailed occult and assessments are collected in december so as to second director nuru are you the formation process began in 2013 there was approximately 1382 hundred and 50 millin dollar parcels 11 hundred in zone one and fiscal

year 2015 budget a 5 hundred and 14 work r, 8431 percent are spent on green space maintenance and third on capital improvements, 23 percent spent on citizens transparency and technology and the remainder 14 percent on operations and contingencies the district term is 10 years from january 1st, 2016, and expire on december authenticating 2025. >> so the official petitions result are goal was hundred and 47 thousand 857 of the total

nonassessed that's 4 hundreds and 92 hundred and 50 millin dollar 858.75 for the himself we've rounded up the categories listed in the chart yes votes no votes are clear abstinence are the votes for public entities that tragedy don't participate in the petition process and the undeclared votes doesn't participate the total yes amount was one 52 hundred and 50 millin dollar 406.250 millin dollar 6 and the no vote was 61 thousand 933.33 those percentages actually of those who have responded

indicates that thought total responses 71 percent are in favor of the district formation. >> so the remaining of phase two district formation in the legislative process june 9th is the up coming board of supervisors votes on the to initiate the ballot process by june 12th the ballets are malt out by the department of elections and 45 days samuel u unconstitutional be matter at hand period starts throughout this process an additional legislation introduced to allow for the mayor to sign on behalf of city owned proposals o properties once the 45 ballet day ends up the july 2, '50 millin dollar 8 board of supervisors meeting the ballets are counted and the board of

supervisors established the b cd your amount with the assessment formation process and hopefully clear this is very much mirrors the traditional formation process entails districts establishments the formation committee becomes the interim board and the in time organization is formed in the fall and the board of directors elections are held again, the g b d sign a formal city contract and the property bills are issued in november and november and december the g b boarded votes and signs a contracted agreement with the service provider and the assessment are collected and distrusted and january 1st, the g b d begin the services

so that is the end of my presentation i am sorry to the board. >> colleagues, any questions for mr. goldberg seeing none, thank you for your presentation. >> thank you so colleagues, i see we have several members from the steering committee in the audience i want to open up for public comment and invite steering committee members to speak in public comment bruce would you come up public comment is officially open. >> we're going to condense our presentation down. >> wonderful want to take you introduce 4 areas that are exhaust outreach into the community we spent the 2 hundred and 50 millin dollar plus years going drove a number of meetings and had a exhale survey a high

degree of appetite for this assessment district and did an vision plan as part of it we formed an initial vision plan around what we do in the future during the next 10 years i did want to also let you know as part of the process we want to design something that the transparent using citizen technology so a lot of the mobile devices we want to develop a map about what is happening in the district some of the numbers i would like you to put of quickly i have one minute left and please. some of the numbers that help you to do that. >> my name is gerard i'm the project manager at dell public on this just a few quick statistics in the broad range of support

that support that is represented of the population of neighborhood at large this is how large the g b d is compared to the others. >> gerard thrum about your presentation the numbers. >> yeah. and lastly just the distribution nevertheless of petition supporters versus the overall neighborhood as you can see it is relatively proportionate that slides didn't look like it made it lastly just the main take away interests brought to support in is not something that came through as the large property owners it is really a lange large range of small property

owners >> bruce how come we didn't include showcase square with you we looked at dog patch potrero we noticed that aligns with the proximity to a freeway we were inclusive as possible in the future we'll consider those as better to be safe than sorry we move forward. >> you see a feature federal and state this is part of the vision plan expanding once we demonstrates the assessment of demonstrating the swath area. >> absolutely an increase of the number of people how they become part we have to approve it. >> how to remain for inclusive. >> my office has received acquire how to be part of the g b d. >> thank you for your time and
