and actually grow excellent programs at the california academy but we have to maintain world cutting-edge facilities for not only our public visibility information but also prone science because of things we do. so these are essential for our mission. any of you can give some specific >> sure. but with the capital planning program on allocation for the future. we have a couple projects that they are working with us on but they are not the renovation of the planetarium just yet. however, they do have a monarch list goes on their list of things we cemented its of their potentially too considered in the future. >> that is great. think rex >> okay, supervisor yee >> thank you mr. foley for the p presentation. one of things i get excited about what i think about the california academy of sciences is that the role it also could play that does not get discussed often, there is

out if there is a natural disaster will, role and what you have there in the things that you could be supportive. can you say a little bit about that because i think the public should know these things? >> absolutely. as you know california academy of sciences is an interesting history with earthquake. we lost two buildings to earthquakes. sore very well-prepared to think about any future natural disaster. how not only can we be a good asset of the cities in terms of preserving the value for the city what we are the to respond and as a community -- to the committee and be helpful. am asked -- are chief operating officer he could maybe, as in the specifics when working with the city and also with fema and others to seo we could play a role because we do have independent water and power systems to keep living animals in case of power outages or natural disaster. those who also be taken to help people of

course. our physician in golden gate park makes it ideal to aid in any recovery or disaster relief efforts. >> thank you, john. good morning supervisors. supervisor yee to answer your question specific the academy addition to our scientific mission is our role as serving the city of san francisco in event of a major disaster. over the last several years, we have invested in trained our staff to serve the community. the city engineers that line the building will not lock our doors to our the public. given the age of golden gate park and events about major disaster we see our role as medications help, also a feeding center. we have been working on cooperative agreements with local food providers as well as our in-house food service to be able to provide this for the community. our staff of highly trained. our security staff are all certified first aid and we have been investing in infrastructure as well. for

example, were on the cities emergency radio network. even on a database scarcity emerged the responders can act and cooperate with us. so, will continue to work closely with the department of urgency management, sf pd and asked me. thank you. s >> supervisor mar >> i want to thank you for being a credible employee. the people with developmental disabilities the sustainability programs that you have, the education program for elementary teachers, the middle school and high school is that of the docents, what an amazing resource for city besides all the other things that you mentioned. thank you for being such an incredible institution as well. >> thank you. if i can elaborate on that, we are a city that increasingly depends on stem or steam education to

better economy three antiseptic all was collaboratively between city the school districts nonprofit organizations like us museums in particular, i think it plays an important role in elevating science education to help economic empowerment for everyone. just a few elite who did get that kind of education today but you make sure that this kind of opportunity is successful to everyone to make sure opportunities is really spread amongst everyone. here in the city. we can share this prosperity we see today. >> okay. thanks very much dr. foley welcome to san francisco. it has been a pleasure to get to know and you and amazing teamwork in a great institution so look forward to working in the years to come. colleagues, we have no reports for our academy of sciences what next we were children and family commission. >> good afternoon,

supervisors. my name is laurel -- executive director of those san francisco. i am here to report on the work for next year. on the first page of my presentation you can see that -- continues of multiple funding streams both propositions and tobacco tax allocation, funding from the california department of education the quality rating and a proven system, funding from our partner issue i asked an -- per family resource center. and money for the transition year of in the opposite ac for preschool for all. the differences in our

budget is slight. there is a $5 million piece because some that money will stay at the office due to transition year. we also are being reduced in our child signature program, which is money from first five california that was supporting high-quality preschool. we are hoping, however, that money will morph into a new project from the first five california called impact. and we should know about that in july. we have been very proud to have incubated pfa. we have the highest quality rated programs in the state mostly because the city has supported us for all this time. were also recognized nationally through the white house summit and other programs. were very happy we incubated it as we involved in transition it over next year. on the second side, you can see that were going to

continue our four focus areas. which would be child health, child development, family support, evaluation. you can see here without allocation is. we have funded about seven programs in child health, 150 programs draw child development, and another 34 family support. on the next slide, you can see investments for next year. as i mentioned, will continue the worker preschool for all. overseeing the operations of it. as we transition it specifically, will continue to do all the quality improvement work, both coaching and training technical assistance and waiting to we have a cadre of coaches. we are cadre of waiters and assessors and will continue that work and were also there to be focused that work on -- and on family child care. we have a very special focus now on -- i think

that is probably what will pave it over the next couple of years. in terms of mental comps to -- home visiting were supporting home visiting at the health department of we were focusing on the help sf sites. were they continue to fund children with special needs to inclusion work and also a help me grow affiliates which means, it is a statewide initiative that is looking at early identification referral services for children with birth -three. will continue to fund the multidisciplinary assessment unit at san francisco gen., along with our [inaudible]. bill do assessment and get screening who are at risk for development of the late. we also will continue to support the family resource center along with our partners

at -- and age is a good window of 26 family resource centers and some of the focus over the next year will be building the quality of those centers and those providers, as we have in our early childhood work. the next slide shows you a little bit of who we have served over 27,000 participants through our core investment in [inaudible] health and mental health, pfa initiative and are quality support work. i thought maybe to be interested in this slide. that just shows you the growth of our programs for four-year-olds. at the pfa, we have served about three 600 children. some of them are pre-k. our five-year-olds who did not choose to go into a pre-k program, or did not have access to them, and another one is a program that were very proud about the wholesale support the continuation of, when children lose their

vouchers, when they turn three, were their families are no longer working or going to school, it is very adult focused policy, so we decided we would make sure that those three-year-olds be maintained in the continuing continuum of care in the pre-schools. so much is a little bit of who are serving in all the age groups. the last slide is just a small organization. we have a staff that focus on the family resource center. staff that focused on how. staff is focused on early childhood, and we hope we can continue that you we did increase by 2.5 positions. some of that was because of our loss of funding from the california first five. that is my short presentation. i really do hope the board of supervisors continues to honor and support the work of focus five. we continue to hope to make contributions to the city and our youngest children. thank you.

>> great. thank you for your comment. colleagues, any questions or comments direct supervisor mar >> thank you so much for developing preschool for all good would an amazing program that changes some a children's and families life. i wanted to ask you, you mentioned the loss of health on your first five money and knowing soon on some impact funds. could you explain the livermore what potential there is for a new program that would fund important programs and first five? >> yes. california first love always is the signature programs and their matching fund programs we apply for them and then we match them. so, california signature -- the children's signature program was one of them. those particularly focusing on building the quality of a certain number of sites --

well, that areas in our city that have the lowest api scores. so we did a lot of work in the bayview mission and golden dollar supporting those programs. that money was reduced by 50% this year and will and next year. although will continue to sport his programs through pfa,. the new impact money which will hear about soon, will continue -- really is focused on how to support the quality improvement of our early care and education program. we did not have a lot of flexibility in how were going to do that. i think what were going to look at both what were going to do locally, but were also building a regional quality proven system long without six bay area counties. so, that will again focus on probably deploying coaches and readers to do training, coaching, again to sport the quality improvements at our site. this time when we apply will focus on infant and

toddler programs. they will be a contribution to that. >> last question did with relationship -- i know it ages a dui if there was consolidation within officer early care and education. what is the relationship with verse five and ec? >> were parting very closely with the office. we been beating over the last, almost weekly over the last year or so . working on developing the plan, having us move transition will continue to partner as i see going forward. hopefully, when the program gets finally transitioned over there, the component of the work for us at first five will be the quality improvement work we developed an expertise. shifted supervisor yee >> thank you. i am just curious, i know there is some discussion around the super bowl and you have a role in it?

>> yes >> you can get us a chance to say much about it what you like to? >> as they were going to the meeting to the school district to talk further. this is really about the grade level reading campaign that was started by --. as you may remember, we applied as a city for the reading campaign award the american cities award and we won as a pacesetter. i was involved in writing that proposal. what that did was, give us a little glory but no resources. which is often the case with these awards. what we did do is we look at in our city about school attendance, school readiness, summer learning. go through so much going on now. so the grade level reading campaign is joined with the super bowl l two see if we can raise awareness summer learning and

early literacy with some grantmaking going on there. so, i know that the some awards going out around some of learning. betty sue byatt has been working with. right now our meeting at the school district to think about how can leverage some of funding going through the early literacy to support the early literacy work in our community. i will tell out more about it when it is ever more this afternoon. >> are any the funding going to be close to your -- >> i do not think stupid i think though go directly to the programs we recommend investors eight -- because were contacted and we would do a pastor. >> thank you. chapter colleagues, to the questions, thank you*only go to your report? >> yes. i did not know if the government had come in on the budget analyst recommendations

>> ashley we just receive those comments yesterday at around 4:00 pm. we are not in agreement at this moment, we feel we just need some opportunity to continue to work with the office around those >> thank you. sounds good >> on page 35 of our reports are recommended reductions to the proposed budget total 308,000 in 15-6 and all that your ongoing savings reduction would still allow an increase of 27 million or one or 19 two .2% in the fiscal year 1560 budget we had no recommendations in 16-7. we will continue to work with the department and report back next week >> thank you. look for to seeing you back on monday. colleagues, up next we have recreation and park who been waiting a while and i saw ms. -- will be next after that. >>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
