>>good afternoon supervisors. which is waiting for presentation to the screen.so, were very pleased to be here this more with an overview of the diamond 1516 and 16-70 beds. is that good budget year for their pulmonary appreciative of the mayor's office and amir support as apartment grows an approach will benefit from the city's economic growth. things sort of

right to the numbers. our budget overall is increased by nearly $14 million in the new fiscal year. the majority of increase about 9 million is from increased capital funding. projects include $9000 for the museums renovation get 1.2 million took place the following down boat should instill lake. about three quarters of 1 million for irrigation improvements. nearly 2,000,000 for our first generation of turf field replacement projects. one that tickles me to knowing, about one or 50,000 to help replace the phone down on the highway of golden gate park has bothered me as long as it has bothered you. the remaining budget increases include collectively bargain wages and salary benefit increases and then the strategic investments to our operating budget was all go through in a second. our sources am a funny comes from

both the open space fund and the general fund under our increases and 15-16 in both buckets. the general fund subsidy decreases and 16-17 just a bit as a result of an overall reduction general fund capital funding. this is a particularly robust year in a category. reduction of prior-year savings continues optically alarming just reflects the variation in number general fund savings department achieved some of the revenue that somebody earn revenue that goes to that. earn revenue has been for the last -- well forever, very important part of the department's operating budget structure. and revenue increases by nearly $2 million and 15-segment increased again are driven by permits, which really close more from increased activity enterprise. there no fee increases in our system. the marina, we received some payments from -- to find

remediation to remediation analysis in the harbor. about $4 million in interest from revenue bonds for writing capital project. that is one of the reasons the capital budget is the strongest as it is this year. it is worth noting in 15-16 this last year that the park will receive any revenue from candlestick. the foreigners. we structured a lease termination agreement with them that spread payments out over a few different years to avoid setting cliff in lost revenue. we are very fortunate this year to make some key investments in sme strategic budget priorities. last year the common inner commission identified four strategic priorities for their comments operating budget for the next two years. is the second of those years. you can see here there [inaudible] enhance

environmental student sustainability to support active living and service to our product use. these priorities have got our decisions about budget enhancements are entirely consistent that upon its strategic plan which the population adopted this morning. taking a closer look at these investments, product safety, park city continues to be a priority for us. we have over $1 million worth of vandalism in the park every year. that apartment and the mayor making a significant investment in park city with the addition of thinking about patrol staff this year including a 11 new officers supervisor and dispatcher the of additional corresponding materials and supplies. this enhancement brings the part patrol forces total to 48. that includes 37 rangers on the grounds, five supervisors, five dispatchers, and demonstrate of managed. this the first, with this

investment, this is the first year we will begin to shift our approach to part patrol enforcement from being very we active dispatch orientated to assigning teams to particular quadrants. we do not have enough yet to get to where we want to be but are managers can break this city minute park up to three very large districts have at times assigned to each district it without will allow the range dresser gets into the parks and the neighborhood groups in those specific areas little bit better. will create clear points of contact for park users, park organizations he even district supervisors in their offices. this change is probably it probably will not be for boldly implemented until the 16-70 near as we go through a hiring process there is one training that goes in the hiring but ranges. because there has been some questions include our city about the unit a current unit has 26 ftes , for supervisors for dispatchers and a manager.

actual boots on the ground, are really right now, 17, with for supervisors and four dispatches. we have a park rangers do some serious work and we have three out on injury leave right now. two of whom were attacked by a somebody and our parks and we do have -- were in the middle hiring process for the remaining vacancy. in addition, the budget includes funding for their carbon to experiment the installation of security lighting measures and a few of our price. experience-though some issues. then, we have also added a project manager for a lot of our deferred projects the tickly ones that help with health and safety impacts. this will help us actually deliver pick six a lot more quickly in our structural management. turning to environmental sustainability as a source of strategic budget investment, as the city becomes denser and

denser in the next dose that one has to invest an additional resources to care existing products. this is seen throughout to our budget and our year they are going city is demanding more from our parks depend upon estimates the san francisco wet about 280,000 residents and 97,000 housing units the next 25 years. since 2004 91% of all new housing constructed has been building for 10 or more units which means more people are using their parks. which means, we actually need to resource them, making them care for them, a little bit differently than a smaller population allows to do that decades ago. so, our investments here include additional funding for material and supplies for our parks. they materials, fertilizer, will allow us to focus a little bit more sustainable landscaping and water and skipping measures that were harassing the nursery

specialist position to the conservatory of flowers. which will actually allow our nursery to do more propagating a sustainable plan materials. we are also adding a truck driver to enhance athletic fields and meadows which is going to be business for us. on the echo incremental education said were invest in urban agriculture program and stewardship volunteer programs which been very proud about. our third area focuses has been active living. our recreation division offers 5400 programs a year with over 15,000 registrants. right now were in the middle of summer camps. if 80 summer camps going on all over the city. a variety of violence prevention programs that were offering this summer as well. our programs are accessible to everyone. were very proud of the fact that we now offer well

over well north of $1 million in scholarships. our scholarship program operates ray's similar to the school districts free and reduced lunch program and in fact the sub subsidies are targeted to anybody eligible for particular subsidy for the free and reduced lunch program. again, growing city demands more from its parks and some of the investments here are designed to address that. one will be is a conversion of some temporary staff to prominence that it were about five years out of very significant reorganization in a recreation model is been wildly successful, but we now have been able to understand where we need permanent staff and what we terminate every seven were partners of sei you who arrived in agreement to convert some of the people working in our facilities from temporary employees to permanent part-time employees, which is the right thing to do. significantly, we will be for the first time translating all of our activity guides into

three different languages. it is worth noting, our website actually offers about 100 different languages through google translate the hard copy of guides visibly been in english ever-changing that this year. we will continue to use language in a variety brother in person translation services to make sure that regardless of what language you speak your boxes to our programs and services you understand them. again, some additional materials and supplies for recreation and special event. we are well well well below the national average for materials and supplies for recreation facilities. each of our major recreation centers has a material and supply specialist of about $20,000 and it averages about 100. turning to our fourth prong, customer service. we want to be more welcoming and accessible to the park users we serve. again increased density, increase parties at his impact here. we want to make it easier for people to access our programs

and services online, so we are upgrading our program registration and permitting software which will allow people not just to register for programs, but for the first time ever to register some of our permit functions such as ticket and tennis courts online. something we have not been able to offer with the current system. we have a new golf reservation software which will save us money in the long-term. you have conflicts have become a bigger and bigger deal as more people are using our products. we have some additional permit staff and field monitors opus with them. a big investment here very grateful to the mayor for supporting it -- the vehicle and the claimant repair. will now operate a night shift out of theto

go.we sought to many facilities on dollop networking. lastly, and enjoys one, we are supporting the botanical gardens 75th anniversary that a family that was committed a welcoming of thousands of people to the guardian a few months ago and never variety of educational programming and activities all year long. >> brass to be brief and so that is it. i am happy to answer any question. >> thank you. cali so many questions for their partner? supervisor yee >> thank you mr. ginsberg for your presentation. in all the

services you provide for the city. i want to point out, thank you for getting those things translated into legs. as you know i have spoken to you about that issue with the botanical garden [inaudible] i think they finally put it up. it is important for our departments to make all citizens in san francisco feel like they are part of san francisco, and chesler the materials those that are limited english speakers is really important role to do that. the consideration for the park hours was that last year, i think. legislation which i supported, you stated you

expected legislation to result in sort of a decrease in vandalism. have you found that to be true or can you quantify the savings? >> this is still a work in progress supervisor yee. i think the legislation puts us on par with every big city urban park district in the nation that actually has an operating hours in its parts. it does give us a tool to proactively address the potential vandalism and bad behavior before it occurs. it is too soon to determine whether there are any savings as a result and plus some other data points that are important to consider, which is that other we have park hours, we still do not have an adequate number of park rangers to actually enforce park hours. which is something were working on in this budget cycle. as more people are coming to our city and more people are using our products, we are seeing additional instances, more

instance, people in our parks at night doing things they should not be doing. so, i think were hovering. i believe that were expected to provide our next full annual report in the fall on the legislation. >> are most of the i guess you park rangers going to be assigned to duties in the evenings? >> no. are park rangers off 24 hours a day seven days a week it is one the reasons we been before the committee is spoken quite a bit about the importance of investing in this unit. we have a very good partnership with the seven cisco police department, but a lot of very fundamental park activities that are within the responsibility of the rangers and they include education ambassadorship, but they also include opening and closing facilities may also include

mediating, monitoring, youth complex and yes, enforcing the barcode which is something that primarily falls on our rangers. rangers we need a day shift. we need a swing shift, and we need an evening shift. with these additional investments, was fully hired, we expect to be able to have approximately 6-8 people on each of those differing districts that we spoke about. two odyssey moorpark rangers and hopefully they will create happier and healthier part usage going for. >> uni avec old-timer san franciscans and grew up in the recreation and park system. as you know, it is upon a time, we had a very healthy recreation directors group that was always opening up a rec center and clubhouses and so forth. i know through the years, that

has been diminished. part of it -- you do a good job in trying to activate some of the gigli, the clubhouses, which is important to my district, and some of it through leases to groups and so forth. they are still an element that is missing when it you lease to groups of course. one of them is that when we used to have regular directors for these river directors [inaudible] and buzz become sort of a community hub of some sort. were people drop by and so forth. so, i am just wondering, what strategy are we looking at to get the city to support moving back in that direction? it does a few

things for me. one, not only is your activating those times when it is not least and become sort of a community center. i think we have staff there. also it reduces the vandalism because you have somebody there that who belongs there were two other regulars and who is not, and that would, even though it would not reduce the osha would not necessarily get rid of or lessen the need for park rangers, may reduce the need for them. >> you make a variety of point supervised. i am not sure i agree with the library last one. so, let me give you some context. we had to make some very very difficult decisions during the nadir of the budget cycle. we have six have inflexible as big as six assets are our parks and our buildings

are flexible assets are our programming which we can scale up or scale down dependent on the budget that we have. around the time when several big cities were actually getting out of the business of public recreation altogether, we came up with a very creative strategy with our partners in labor to develop a new model for recreation. that model focused on fully activating our 27 full-service recreational centers doing it better than we have ever done it before. i staff, even when were operating both clubhouses and recreational centers are sophists. so thin that the programming was really weak. the partnership, that model also include identifying community partners to help us with our 40 off in one room were two room clubhouses. yes, if we had our druthers, we would operate every one of our

buildings seven days a week, 24 hours a day. that is the service that we provide, we have to make resource choices. resource choices that we made in this respect was again, to try to identify ebert partners that could activate those spaces. while i agree with you, that i think having playground monitors were reckoned by staff on playgrounds i, would be a terrific thing, i think some of our nonprofits such as the boys and girls club, such as self-help for the elderly, such as the ymca such as opportunity impact, such as a number pre-schools that offer b-schools in a variety of different languages, rashly done a good job of activating those spaces. we look back and looked at this. of our 40 647 clubhouse, 50 currently have programming of $2000 a year or more. that is either all nonprofit partner programming or like it was portal of blend of nonprofit partner programming and some programming that onset has been able to provide. another 14 are operating 25

hours a week or more. another 10 property 20 hours a week and you we still have seven clubhouses in our system that are less than 20. so, were constantly real property management system costly looking for the appropriate it would opportunity there. you have heard me say this. i think as a city, it is important to invest more in our open space and recreation facilities. i think we have done a lot this particular budget, we need some longer-term sustainable strategies as a population growth another interesting statistic i know marie will talk about the expected projections would have more more kids in the city. over the next 20 years was a wonderful thing. increased density, injuries multiunit housing our parks are more important than they have ever have been. in the meantime, will continue

through a government is no longer providing services entirely on its own anymore. it is a convener. sort of a hub and spoke model. we have identified some terrific partners. -- is such a perfect example partnership that works. that has programming at that clubhouse is put on by the boys and girls club put on by the white and our own staff. like to do more of that. we have to be careful to spend our resources so thin that we do not do any of it as well. that is a challenge. >> again, i am not disagreeing with the strategy. what would i would like to see more of, and would love to look work with you and him and to try to get resources from the city to weaken understaffing. it is not to take away from park rangers, we also need to have a strategy to get more program staffing is what i am suggesting. >> colleagues, any further questions? mr. rose can you go to report please?

>> yes mr. chairman, members of the committee got on page 5 on a report the recommendations total 698 541 in 50-16. of the six 9541 recommender reductions of one or 65,000 ongoing savings. 530 to 9 of one-time savings these reductions would still allow an increase of 13 million or 8% of it opponents 15-16 budget. while also recommending that you replace $250,000 on budget finance committee reserved for the open space neighborhood parks and square programming having pending submission of a program plan and budget details to the budget and finance committee. i recommend a reduction to the

total budget totals 205,000 in 16-17. of that amount 90,000 941 ongoing savings at one or 14,000 one-time savings that were still working with the department and will port back next week. >> thank you mr. colleagues are many questions for the apartment on a recreational department budget? thank you see you next monday. can you please call item number eight >> item number eight [inaudible] authorize an apartment of children youth and their families to accept and expend grant funding in the amount of the 6000. from the cities of financial apartment fund for the summer job connect program for period of april 2015 to april 2016. >> i am going to switch -- excellent. good afternoon chairman ferrell and members of the committee my name is -- on the director for that upon the children and youth and their families. it is my pleasure to be before you again to share with you our budget., which i

feel very strongly really reflects the needs of our children and families and reflects the commitment that the mayor has made in all of his committee meetings. before i start, i want to acknowledge and thank the mayor's budget office for working with us. and for mr. rose's office continuing to work with us. we look forward to more conversation in the upcoming days. the biggest change in a budget this year is the passage of opposition c. the children and families first initiative. this proposition, once again, i said this before -- it truly highlights the commitment of the citizens of the city to call the importance for children's services and to ensure their secured funding for children's services. there are a number of key policy statements that we voted on in

this past november. one, we wanted to ensure that these findings available for our children and family for the next 25 years. two, we want to increase the children and youth fund to allow for additional services for kids. so much so, were actually allowing the children and youth fund to grow up to four cents of every $100 of property tax revenue collected by the city. and, third, we want to allow the children and youth fund to serve disconnected young people up to the age of 24. i am sorry. i want to make sure people can read the powerpoint. fourth, we wanted to reconstitute the oversight and advisory committee for the department to clearly define the roles and response abilities of the councilmembers. so there are is clear transparency as members.

>>

>> this year in terms of violence prospective we are solidifying our existing violence strategies but in can enhancing those programs up to age 24 to serve and continued to serve our undocumented programs and initiatives i'm sure you're aware of last year our president obama issued and executive order do allow the undocumented young people to apply for waivers to work we're appreciative of our federal stance on undocumented young people and
